For some time I just haven't felt like sewing sew when Fiona from BubzRugz invited me to sew along with her and friends ( virtually ) on Thursday I got organised and started to quilt my "Sisters" ...
Then on Friday it was time to join Wendy and 27 others for FNSI , and I'm happy to say with the help of my friends the 'Sisters" are now quilted...
Just stippled around the white and shadow quilted the Sisters with a Heart in the center.
Now I just need to choose a binding .. Which one do you think ????
Later in the evening when I was digging in the cupboard for another project and this fell out. The ribbing from the bottom of one of hubby's windcheaters, ( don't ask why it was cut off as I don't remember) but for ages I've wanted a cover for my steering wheel. I have bought a few and none suited,
The ribbing made a perfect cover and after hand stitching it on today fits nicely......
Well I must away and see what others have been up to for FNSI...
Happy stitching and keep well..
Hugs Maria ❤
Well done! I vote for the first binding fabric, but it is hard to be sure which one matches the colours best just from a photo.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you back in the sewing saddle again. I vote for the first binding. Good job on the steering wheel cover.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting on Sisters is lovely. I'll go with the first binding too. Good idea with the steering wheel cover. Hugs, xx
ReplyDeleteSometimes it just takes a little nudge to get back into the groove of things. I love the steering wheel cover too, such a good idea with this hot weather. I need something for my gear stick...so hot to touch. lol Have a beautiful week my friend. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe quilting looks great Maria. I like the first binding. Clever idea for the steering wheel cover. Hugs, Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThe "sisters" look fantastic...& I love the 1st binding shown.
ReplyDeleteVery clever use of scrap to make a steering wheel cover too...xox
I'm late, but I'd vote for the brightest binding. Well done on the steering wheel cover. My new car, a Toyota also! has a heated steering wheel. I guess you don't have much need for that. LOL! Glad you enjoyed a day of stitching.
ReplyDeleteI love stripedy binding! :0)
ReplyDeleteI like the first binding the most, but really I'm sure they'd all look good.
ReplyDeleteWay to go SISTERS
ReplyDeleteWell done on finding your MOJO again, and nice to get a finish or two. The steering wheel cover is a good idea, mine was a tad too hot to hold the other day.
ReplyDeleteFriends have a great way of getting us motivated! love your sisters they look gorgeous. I vote the first binding option..but they are all lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour sister's quilt is gorgeous! I was planning on making one this year... might still! You have inspired me now :) xx
ReplyDeleteGood to have your mojo back and the Sisters are looking lovely. xx
ReplyDeleteYay that we sewed together.. maybe we need a challenge to make together.... I am in the minority and like the second binding ... nice a bright with the fabrics the sisters are in...
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the steering cover... bits cut off of jackets should never go to waste!

I would probably go with the top binding, you have strong colours in your quilt, so I think it needs a strong binding. But only you will know - it is your quilt :-)

That’s a nice finish for your Sister’s quilt. I really like the idea of a heart. Brilliant idea for your steering wheel too. I can remember having a leather wrap that had to be stitched on years ago.
ReplyDeleteNice re-use of the ribbing.
ReplyDeleteI vote for the first binding, but I think they all look good, love a stripey binding
I like the binding with the bigger stripes and bolder colors. I have one of those covers for my steering wheel and it really makes a difference!
ReplyDeleteI just love striped bindings. It is so cute and you chose the perfect one.
ReplyDeleteWe quilters to keep each other motivated. Aren't you glad they encouraged you toward a finish?
glad you lit your sewing spark again.......I like the brighter strip.......
