Now....Binding!

Well, now I had finished my quilting stich and starting to bind the edge.
I found in some part my stiches is not good....






but in another place is quite ok!










This is part of my quilt from top. Maybe I need 1 or 2 more days to finishing.

I saw a tutorial in binding by hand from sampaguitaquilts at blogspot this morning. Since actually I'm a type of a 'student' that should always have a teacher stand next to me.... I don't know if I'm doing right or not in this binding at the back of the quilt. I left dacron batting to fill the binding strip so I can have a puffy edges. What do you think?

It doesn't easy at all...

Yesterday afternoon when finally I had my ‘free time’ I was glad. I straight went to pick my little plastic container where I put all my sewing tools and find a coziest place in the living room to start quilt. I think this weekend I will bind and next week I hope it could be finished. Oh…what a long journey to create a very first piece of quilt.

For me it’s a special blessing that I still have time to do nice and simple things I want for my own happiness. I feel like recharging my “self battery” while I’m doing my hobby or learning something new even if I could only have 10 minutes to do it in a day, but…really it doesn’t easy at all to find “me time” when you're married or still have young kids. I used to be smart to find it between my daily works after works as a mom of 3 kids! That’s why I called it ‘special blessing’.
What about you?

Good news to start a new day

Oh, I'm happy this morning because I finally received an invitation in my inbox from Jackie to join her "Black and White Quilting Challenge". Good news to start a new day :)
I wonder where this challenge will bring me in quilting..
Today I'm starting my quilt batting. Hope I could finalized it in a right way.










Till next post and happy weekend :)
