The last few stitches by shannejw

The last few stitches

These are the last few stitches on my daughter's quilt, finishing the corner binding which I hand sewed today after she machined the rest - patchwork, quilting and all - as it's mostly blue for the Rainbow Challenge (I did suggest we should mitre it, but that wasn't what I got to finish off).

It's also a crafty image for the current macro challenge

I forgot the worldwide minute - cooking at that time and not thinking about it

Three good things:
1. I passed my asthma check up with no quibbles - BMI of 21, blood pressure of 112/70 (I have lost weight since my last weigh in so it was nice not to be warned about my health)
2. I got out for a bit on my own, probably a bit longer than I should have - first time since we both had a stinking cold last month.
3. Actually started writing up blog bits on dress-making

Thank you for looking, your faves and comments. And thank you for getting the pear from last week to the top twenty. You are all wonderful. I prefer to look at your pictures rather than thank you individually below.

That's a really pretty shade of blue. I like the close-up feeling of a finished project and the sense of accomplishment that goes with it. Good shot! (Glad your health is improving too!)

Lots of interesting details in this well-taken macro shot. How sweet that you and your daughter have worked on this quilt together.

The green in my Oreo cookie picture is because it's mint creme filling in between. :)

Rosy for girls and blue for boys - these are the colours admitted by women in our country. Wonderful work, Shanne!
