binding

well I’m almost finished my little plume quilt, the colour combinations are just gorgeous! Somehow I managed to quilt this before mass last night and then came home to make the binding and sew it on….

binding on

this afternoon I’ll sew the back of the binding on and then I’ll be done!!!!! It’s perfect for autumn and winter and I’m now thinking about taking 2 packs, lots of white quilters muslin and making a big quilt!

Edited to add that ladies, free motion is easy!!!!!! You will need a darning foot or open toe foot (mine came with my machine), lower your feed dogs and go go go. I use machine quilting gloves that cost me about $3 at spotlight but sometimes prefer not to use them! Just make up a sandwich of fabric and batting and go for it. I found some great tutorials on youtube and crazy mom quilts video was excellent too!

  1. Lovely. A bigger one with white would look very nice too. There are always so many possibilities.

  2. Oh yes, you should do that – it would be lovely. I am *so* looking forward to Autumn and Winter!

  3. Oh yes! You could even sell some kits??!! Like the one I’m doing for my sister.
    You are a quilting machine Corrie! Can I post you mine to do 😉 lol xox

  4. Beautiful quilt Corrie! I haven’t ventured into quilt making yet but think I might need to give it a go. You’ve inspired me…is it as tricky as it looks? Hope all is well in your world :)

  8. You’ve done a marvelous job of that quilt! Love the fabrics and your sweet pins on the binding. Great quilting.

  9. Corrie those colors together are gorgeous and I could just imagine them in a larger quilt with white. Is the free hand motion quilting easy to do on a normal sewing machine or do you need a special one!
