I think that is the appeal for knitting, as well. Kind of nice to do something the "old fashioned" way. But being as impatient as I am, I will never eliminate machine quilting entirely!

I must confess I'm usually in a hurry to get it done and the thought that hand stitching the binding is going to take sooooooo long usually wins out. This is a nice reminder to slow down and enjoy the process of needle and thread.Paulettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181665241824945247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-73070169459759403602011-06-25T07:55:01.476+09:302011-06-25T07:55:01.476+09:30I also like to machine bind.I also like to machine bind.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596082037790329673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-77896979190639953592011-06-25T05:37:06.299+09:302011-06-25T05:37:06.299+09:30I love your hand stitchery ..

I was making a quick quilt with sherpa fleece on the back. I decided it looked too much like hard work to hand stitch it down so I did the machine finish thing. I didn't like it. I give a lot of quilts away so sitting stitching the binding down is my chance to enjoy and say "goodbye" to my quilt. If I haven't found a name for my quilt I often have a name pop into my mind as I stitch.<br />Keep on stitching<br />Linda<br />Taupo New ZealandRazzle Dazzle Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900423438793574638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-32928289949962049332011-06-24T13:39:09.996+09:302011-06-24T13:39:09.996+09:30I LOVE LOVE LOVE to hand sew, along with knitting ...I LOVE LOVE LOVE to hand sew, along with knitting and anything I can do by hand, it disconects my brain from reality and makes me feel at peace with the world.

I am a very strange person I love handsewing the binding down.I enjoying looking at the quilting on the quilt and I feel a sense of achievement and peace as I stitch. I think your stitching is lovely and isn't the purpose of it all to enjoy the process and applaud our efforts.
