Needed
some basic sewing to ease the jitters before I departed on my trip.
Victoria at Bumble Beans had just the pattern and a wonderful home for the finished quilt.
I had stitched,sandwiched,and completed half the diagonal quilting a month ago.
Steady stitching on Thursday and the top was ready to bind.
A view of the pieced back.
Coffee and binding at the ready
Friday attach binding. I stitched it on the back of the quilt and turned it to the right side attaching with a decorative stitch. No hand stitching here
I'm way slow.
A cosy quilt for comfort. I know it's cosy because I fell asleep under it while removing the basting pins
SH don't tell.
Basics is a community group helping people in their own neighborhood. My quilt for Basics has given me time to reflect
remember my father
a gift of self to someone else
Have you got time then help out and share . I'm glad I did.
I'm having a good weekend with the Grandchildren. All of you enjoy your family Terry

Looks wonderful! Terry I have one more corner to go and then it's off to NY! :) These quilts are just so special, aren't day? :)
I can keep a secret...the quilt looks great...I love how you have pieced the back!!!
What a great quilt and a great cause! I really have to try machine binding, I haven't been brave enough, I like your idea of using a decorative stitch!
Good job Terry, Quilt for Basics are very special. Well done - Hugs Nat
