I might as well enjoy it!

I am not very good at the hand stitching part of sewing. I pretty much do everything I can by machine. But when it comes to the binding, I do like the look of hand stitching it down on the back. I have tried to do it by machine, and sometimes do for baby quilts or wall hangings, but think it is much neater looking if it is hand stitched.

I have seen some bloggers that can do a great job of machine sewing it down and just catching the edge perfectly. I am not one of them! So when I spend this much time making a quilt I think that I should spend the time hand stitching the binding for a very "finished" look.

But I am quite slow....and the "Paris" quilt is quite large...so I will be here awhile...

so I might as well enjoy it...

I also love having my little thread catcher hanging on the couch beside me...

Looks like I am all tucked in and ready for some stitching!
