In a Bind

....is what I have been in. Finally allocating time to get the binding sewn on my recently returned quilts from Fiona.
First there was one...
Then there was two....
And finally three...
I can now enjoy at my leisure hand stitching the binding down.
Two more Postcards are added to the pile.....hopefully I may get some assembly done soon. I had several to do before I could indulge my need for some kind of time line order.....I know......I know.....if only I had the same overwhelming feelings towards housework lol!
On Monday I received a lovely gift from one of my art buddies....a gorgeous orchid from her collection. I think it is from the "Moth" group....don't know the botanical correct name. Really hoping that I can keep it alive  now!
Loved the reflections in the water on our Sunday wander....
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx

    Having three lovely quilts to bind will keep you busy. Take your time and enjoy the process, and don't forget the labels! Looking forward to seeing pics when they are done.

    I noticed that each binding goes so well with each quilt. There's nothing like sewing binding on, it's so satisfying! And I see how you do your pins - interesting. I don't use any pins or clips at all. (Didn't know I should, hahaha) As the the orchid, it's beautiful! I love it.

    Well done with all those finishes. Binding will be stitched in no time. The postcards are lovely and the orchid is so pretty.
