Today’s sewing was all WIP related. I have chosen the Strip Mirage I started for my great-niece as my February UFO to work on, and hopefully FINISH in February. I had the top all done except for borders. I got them added today, made the backing and I have the binding strips cut. It’s all ready for the longarm.
After, I got that done, I pulled out some indigo fabric from my stash to make 380” of binding for my Barn Star Sampler. I used quite a bit of fabric from my stash for my Barn Star Sampler, but I did have to buy a few background fabrics, and some teals as I didn’t have enough in my stash. I had plenty of indigos in my stash as called for in the pattern, and used this one in some of the blocks and also had plenty for the binding. As I was cutting the binding strips, I saw the date in the selvedge. Oh my, it’s 20 years old! How can it be that 20 years have passed since I acquired this fabric?! I still love it and glad to be using it, finally. I also still have about 1.5 yards left.
I would love to finish both of these this month, but I plan to hand stitch the binding on the Barn Star Sampler, so I seriously doubt I will get it finished this month. We shall see….
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
