Just in time...

I wasn't sure that I would enter my FlowerGarden quilt into the Fair this year or not. As I got closer to finishing it I felt the urge to push and get it done in time. 

It's been such a busy time the last few weeks that it is nice to have a reason to just sit back and relax while I bind my quilt. I have a couple of sappy movies saved on the PVR which are perfect for this task. 

I know that many people enjoy the binding....I just find it something that needs doing. Somehow this morning as I poke away I'm finding it a nice calming "chore". I've truly enjoyed this quilt from beginning to end and it's nice to sit today and reflect on it. 

It really is being completed just in time. Entries to the Fair have to be submitted either this afternoon or tomorrow morning! I was going to take it in Monday, but find myself with a reason to go to town this afternoon.....so as soon as I finish this post I'll get back at it. Hopefully, finished by noon and then given a final going over.

I joked the other day about possibly binding it in the car on the way to the fairgrounds.....and I wasn't too far off the mark!



I am linking up with Kathy's Quilts for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Hopefully you can sit back and enjoy some time to take a break today with some stitching, reading or whatever brings you peace.
