lots of sewing

end of april and it does rain and rain on, which is just perfect, if you ask me. nature definitely needs the rain, as we had a very warm and dry month. and it comes in very handy, as i planned to finish a long started quilt. so here i am, sewing on the living room table, where i made myself a bit of a contraption to be able to have a mostly flat and big surface to move the big size quilt as smoothly as possible.

all the quilting was done yesterday and even the binding was cut and ironed yesterday, sewn on this morning. a quick run after that -it was good to get out into the rain- now back at hand sewing the binding. and in a week i will be able to hand the finished piece over to my friend. she was super patient, as i have told her about the project a long time ago, not quiet expecting that it will take almost forever. though she never asked how far i was or when it will be done. thank you a.
the more is my joy complete, when i will present the gift.

Loving the look of this quilt, hope your friend loves it too. I have a feeling she will!
