...sewing down the binding on the back of my quilt...
(the best part....and always a perfect excuse to spend the afternoon watching an old movie along the way ;-) )
...fresh summer colour...
(and for once I'm actually ahead with a project ... bring on summer!)
...securing the layers by Stitching in the Ditch...
(also highly recommended for clearing the mind ;) )

♥ I also came across this stunning old Florida town house ♥
...which is just beautiful and reading all about it became quite a distraction from my sewing ... I would love to have a browse through those book shelves too...

...and so...
another finished quilt for one of our beds...and it's going into the washing machine today to hopefully remove my border sketching...the wadding should shrink just a little too :-) ...I've also been working on some crochet (not exactly sure what it's going to be yet... probably a cushion...unless I buy more yarn... but the point was to use up some of the yarn I already have and I need to stick to my intentions once in a while :-) )...and while my walking foot was gently chugging along to the radio ...I've been pondering long about new knitting projects and which direction to go next on the magic carpet...all to be shared soon along with my 'afterwash' quilt :-)
