I started hand sewing when I was 4 years old, so I have always sewn. Quilting came into my life in the 70's. Sewing has always relaxed me. I hope you enjoy just the everyday life of this content quilter!!

Happy Dads' Day!
I know there are just tons of you mamas' out there that are grillin' away for your favorite man!! Have a ball!! It is warm and sunny..or kind of sunny, we may get a storm! (SO I unfortunately can't use my sewing machines in our big electrified storms this year!)....anyways! I found the neatest and perfect way to put on bindings and mitering corners on a quilt or any project that needs them....on You Tube....so I have included the 2nd part..please visit the site and view part 1 and part 3 and 4 it is soooo worth the time!!!....and then you are set. I just want to help a little bit...it is a new way...and a little tedious...but Sharon is the greatest teacher! so try it! I know you will like it!! Quilted Blessings! and hey, watch those hot grillin' tongs today!!! Hug Your Hub!!! Kari
