Today I sewed the beading piping and the binding on the New York Beauty quilt, and now I'm stitching the binding to the back -- hand-stitching, for the first time in a long time, as it would be a little too messy trying to stitch in the ditch next to those beads, and catching a mere 1/32 of an inch of the binding on the back, as I usually do. I've done about 15 inches, which means there are 453 inches to go. And then... the pearls. The 10,000(+/-) pearls.
As usual, Tiger and Teensy sleep through it all in their cozy Thermabeds -- big ol' Tiger in the smaller one, and the smaller Teensy in the bigger one. I have no idea how they came to this agreement.

As long as they're happy! LOL Actually, they each seem to have taken the one that complements their coloring. They want to look good!
ReplyDeleteoh, btw, the quilt is gorgeous!
Hmmmm, coordination-conscious cats! 😅
DeleteAnd thank you, Shazzi. 😊
Hi, Sarah Lynn - I've been following your progress on this quilt over at Facebook. Your beaded binding puts it over the top! It's so beautiful to start with, and now this amazing touch. I can't wait to see what you do with the pearls.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Lynette! 😊
DeleteBeautiful. And the cats look sooo lifelike.
ReplyDeletehaha Every now and then I stop what I'm doing and watch them for a moment or two to make sure they're breathing. 😅
DeleteAnd then they, subconsciously sensing the pause, stop breathing momentarily, the better to hear what's happening (or *not* happening, as the case may be).
Your beaded piping is exquisite and thoroughly a delight to see.
