BINDING AND CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST?

 It is still a rather toasty heat wave here so staying indoors and sewing seems to be the best alternative.  Our oldest daughter is back out from Colorado for a two week visit.  Her husband's brother has had some medical issues so as she has a very extensive medical background she has arrived to help him deal with a variety of medial appointments.  As she is also a relatively new quilter with only about 18 months under her belt, we will be spending some time in the sewing room together.

She arrived with this finished project we worked on together when she was out in June.  Just binding to put on now.

And this quilt is finished and ready for binding too.  I was really impressed with this project.  All the different sizes of blocks that were put together was a real accomplishment for a new quilter.

Plus two new runner projects we put together for her.  In her office at her work she keeps a small Christmas tree that is decorated for all sorts of yearly holidays, Halloween, Easter, and a variety of others.  A cabinet also has a runner on it to match the holdiay theme along with some candy treats for visitors.  Some new fun Christmas runners seemed like a good addition.  

Lots of binding to accomplish this coming two weeks.

  5. Enjoy your daughter. I know you will.

    I had a friend that did the same thing with Christmas trees. Stayed up all year long and she would decorate for each holiday. I miss her so.

    I love all things Christmas. Beautiful.

    Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
