Remember This?

Remember this Pinwheel quilt from last May? In June my
friend took it with her back to Nebraska to machine quilt
it for me.
















When she returned in July it was too hot to bind it and
I put it away thinking I would get to it in the fall when
the temperatures cooled down.  Well, you know the
saying, "out of sight, out of mind?"  That's exactly what
happened until today when I was sorting through
some projects and realized this had never been finished.

Although today was not terribly cold, it seemed like a
good day to pull it out and sew the binding on.  And,
that's exactly what I did  Yeah! One more unfinished
project FINISHED!




 









When my friend came on Wednesday she brought me a
a wonderful surprise..actually more than one.  But this I just
had to share.  (The picture does not do it justice.
There is no blue, just black and white)















And when  I opened it...she had stitched this...
Karen's  Huswif Needlecase from her First Friday
Freebie Patterns.  I LOVE it!

















It has sat next to me today as I have sewed on the
quilt binding and done a little stitching. 

Now I think I'll give my little fingers a much needed
rest.
