Finally...some sewing!

I haven't sewn a stitch since our house sold at the beginning of November.

Things were just too hectic...trying unsuccessfully to find a new home with a quick closing, packing and all the other things that are associated with selling, buying and moving. My attention span could be measured in milli-seconds so rather than even attempt anything sewing-related and frustrating myself in the process, I decided to pack everything away until we were settled into our new home.

We're about three quarters of the way there...settled, I mean. I still have about a half a dozen boxes labeled "sewing room" to unpack which hopefully will get done in the next week or so. Most of my fabric is still somewhere in those boxes and once I get at it, it shouldn't take too long to go through them.

I've had two quilts just waiting to be bound since just before we got the news that our house sold. On Christmas Eve, I prepped the binding for both quilts and early Christmas morning, I sewed the binding onto both quilts. Last night, I finished hand sewing the binding on the first one, something that I love to do.

 

This afternoon, I'll start and hopefully finish the second one while watching Canada play the US in the annual World Junior Hockey Tournament...an annual tradition in our household for as long as I can remember. Oh, and the quilt I'll be working on is the one from my mystery quilt-along, which seems like forever ago!
