Sewing...

Lily and I have been working on a patchwork quilted pillow for her bedroom. It's a small project, and I, of course, had to reinforce all of her hand-stitching with my machine. But we both had fun working on this together, and I love that it's teaching her some basic sewing skills at a young age.

Here she is with the completed pillow...

And here's my most recent project. A quilted table runner for spring/summer. I found a really easy tuturial here. I really liked that it used straight-line quilting on the top since I don't have a darning presser foot on my sewing machine.

This is actually my first bigger quilting project. My goal is to eventually do a large quilt to snuggle under while I read (or with my sweetie) but I wanted to start with something not so overwhelming. I cut out all the fabric on Sunday, stitched it all together last night, and just have to put binding on it now. This is the most intimidating part - the binding. I really don't know how to do this so I'm going to have to be searching the net for a good tutorial.

Have a blessed day!
