As I was busily buying fabric (Terrain and Fandango,) I asked my mom, "Where has Kate Spain been all my life?!" Thank you for all your beautiful designs. About the hand-binding: I am a busy mom, but when I *do* finish a quilt, I always hand-finish the binding (after sewing it on by machine.) I put on a good movie or a good recorded book and it flies by. :)yogainseattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005540608450467490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195628004017882302.post-69565928864457864282011-11-22T19:29:14.436-05:002011-11-22T19:29:14.436-05:00Hope you're feeling better now!

For binding, I do a ladder stitch and love to sit in front of the TV but still feel like I'm getting something done. To me, hand stitching is relaxing. I hate having to wrestle a big quilt under the sewing machine needle (even though that's how I get the first side of the binding on). There's just such a satisfying feeling when I take that last hand stitch!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685952017183050898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195628004017882302.post-12785750061127695882011-11-19T10:21:49.795-05:002011-11-19T10:21:49.795-05:00That's a lovely mug - a nice shape and the pat...That's a lovely mug - a nice shape and the pattern makes it just beautiful!

If I can at least be moving my hands and stitching down binding, I feel better - so I handsew most of my bindings so I can appear to be having quality time.Breehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16044678341674369457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195628004017882302.post-60263942735561993912011-11-18T14:46:13.051-05:002011-11-18T14:46:13.051-05:00Love it all especially the mischief makersLove it all especially the mischief makersTiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486173509307131087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195628004017882302.post-29629977383473510972011-11-18T14:35:21.027-05:002011-11-18T14:35:21.027-05:00Ooooooooh that mug is gorgeous.

LOL <br /><br />I just adore your cats. Mine is not as inquisitive anymore. Your cats are definitely inquisitive. My kitty is getting old now and is very much a cat set to his daily routine. He sleeps in the drawer of my desk which is pulled out for him to keep him off my cutting table and off my machine. Ragdoll cats have strange fur that sticks to everything. You cannot pick it up! It seriously really sticks to everything and you must use a lint roller to get it off things. I try to keep him away from my fabrics at all costs so he's spoiled and has his own little drawer which, thankfully he lays in.VickiThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611232516583515409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195628004017882302.post-46936023059030714972011-11-18T14:33:01.119-05:002011-11-18T14:33:01.119-05:00I don't even like cats (I'm sorry!) but th...I don't even like cats (I'm sorry!) but the paws and tail hanging off the edge are adorable!EGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173742152462063273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195628004017882302.post-84608508664699633142011-11-18T13:56:54.453-05:002011-11-18T13:56:54.453-05:00Love the mug!
