Sewing Sunday

Betty K.'s bird quilt came back from the longarm quilter in Sturgis. I am working on the binding today. Didn't it turn out pretty? The pattern of wandering stitching is called stippling. I think she will love it.

The other picture shows my new project on my "design wall". The hospital gave us a gift certificate to spend in town, and I chose the design wall. It is flannel held taut by poles similar to ones used in tents. The fabric sticks to the flannel just by friction, so you can move around the block in the layout and see what it will look like before you sew it together. After you are done, the poles fold up and it stores away in a small space. Cool.

It is snowing and blowing, but I thought color pictures look better than white on white.
