Binding

I found this tutorial for adding binding to my quilt. http://www.fonsandporter.com/content_downloads/Binding_10092012.pdf

I love this quilt. Just need to finish the hand sewing. I will post a picture of the whole quilt when done.

I also love my new nail color.

Quilt Show

I spent the weekend at "The Gathering of Quilters 2013". I offered to put three antique quilts in the show. They were passed down to me, from my mother-in-law. I think she would have enjoyed seeing her quilts on display.

This one is called "Doves In The Window". It was done around 1910.

 

This is called "Around The World". It was done sometime in the 1930's.

And, this is "Grandmother's Flower Garden. This was done in the 1960's.

 

It was a great show, with lots of inspiration.

Adjusting

As we get older, we need to make some adjustments. Trina is having a hard time jumping up and down from the sofa. So, here is a picture of her new steps. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
