~ In a Bind ~

Yesterday I had big plans to put the binding on my sail boat quilt so I could (finally!) move on to other projects. I cut the binding strips when I realized ... quite suddenly ... that I was pretty sick with the flu and had a 102 temperature.

Next ... I layed around (moaning may or may not have been involved) for the next 24 hours.

Sometime after noon today I decided to shower and go ahead and resume life. The fever is gone, but the achiness still hangs in there.

I attached said binding to the quilt using a little wider than usual binding to accomodate the rick-rack on the edges.

I got out my handy-dandy sewing kit so I would be ready for the next step ... the hand sewing part ... a part I really love.

I put some binder clips on and I am ready to go to work.

Once I sit down again.

And finish regretting that I may or may not have pushed myself too hard today.

It's totally worth it though. Especially since the next step involves a lot of sitting.

I plan to name her "Permanent Wave." You like??
