I'm happy to report that the quilting on the Chinese Coins quilt will be finished tonight. It went quite well. As the saying goes, done is better than perfect.
There's still a lot of work left to be done on it. I will cut the red pieces for a flanged binding tomorrow and maybe with a little luck get the two binding pieces sewn together and pressed but there won't be time to sew the binding onto the quilt. After the binding is sewn on it will need a good brushing and all the thread ends trimmed off and then I will pass it along for someone to make a label and sew it on. Then it will finally be finished.
Tomorrow I have a quilting day with my friends Margaret and Georgina. Margaret has a 1000 square foot sewing room which is the size of my whole house. She has two large cutting tables set up as islands so you can cut from any side. No need to take turns sewing because she has three sewing machines and a serger all set up for sewing. One of them is the same model as my Husqvarna so I know all the settings and how it will behave. She has glassed in cupboards all around the perimeter which hold her stash--enough for a small store and other cupboards that are full of thread of every colour and type. I get a bad case of sewing room envy every time I visit her but I'm happy that, small as it is, I still have two rooms in my house for sewing.
