I am hand finishing the binding on one of the quilts I’m currently working on, so it went along on the trip to the ranch Thursday so I could stitch during the drive. It’s a commission for a dear friend, pieced from her late father’s shirts, and a neutral fabric I purchased for the sashing. They are huge baseball fans, and we found a digital baseball pattern for the quilting. Even though the binding isn’t completely stitched, I went ahead and got some pictures of it while we were there, as it will be shipped off to her this next week. I don’t take on many commissions, as I have a huge bucket list of my own that I want to make, but there are some that I just cannot turn down. I love that I’m able to make something for my friend that will bring her comfort and be a treasure to her. After all, that is one of the best things about being a quilter, isn’t it?
