Last night I started hand sewing the binding on to the
Christian wall-hanging. This morning I
finished the binding and added a label.
I am pleased with it and hope the receiver will.
This afternoon I sandwiched another small comfort quilt but
instead of quilting it, I made a quick casserole carrier. I saw a great tutorial by Crafty Gemini. She also has a great video tutorial on
YouTube. You can find the directions and
the link from her blog..
After quilting, I trimmed and sewed the 2 quilted pieced
right side together leaving an opening for turning. I also top stitched all
around the edge. Here the strips are stitched and ready to sew on. 1 long 5” by 22” and 2 short 4 ½” by 7”
I ironed interfacing to the inside of the straps to give
extra strength.
I hope this will make a good item for the GCQ guild silent
auction in September. I may make some
for Christmas gifts.
I will be home for Labor Day and quilting on 2 comfort
quilts. Enjoy your holiday.
