'When Pigs Fly' Hop~

 Hello! And welcome!

And happy first day of Summer!

Will it be a hot day for you?  Not so much here, but the temps are just where I love them~ 70ºF 

I knew I had some projects I needed to finish, but the one that caught my eye was this little bundle~

I stopped working on it last year ~I don't know why!~ but knew I wanted it this year. :-)

All I had left to do was layer, quilt and bind.


And now it is finished and hanging! The tumblers were cut with a 4" Accuquilt Die and the stars were cut with a Crafter's Edge Star Die. :-) I love it when all my little gadgets play together! LOL

I quilted wavy lines and bound it by bringing the back to the front. Do you have trouble making a binding like that? One corner always turns out wonky?

Then I suggest this Handy Ruler

Quick-Easy Mitered Binding Tool 

It works exactly like it is marketed to work, your miters are sewn closed with your sewing machine, and you can finish the binding with your sewing machine! I love it for placemats and tables runners and things that get a lot of washings.  

(No, I am not a sponsor of the gadget or get any kind of promo points. I just love sharing when I find things that work!)

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
