Finishing Touches

| adding binding to a Quilt of Valor May 2021 |
Last week, I added the finishing touches to two Quilts of Valor. Teri S. from Iowa recently returned the QOV after she machine quilted them. I am grateful for those who have volunteered their time and talent to machine quilt all the QOV that I've made and donated. Without the volunteer longarmers, the quilts would not have been possible.

I used to hand-tack the binding on the back of the QOV, but about four years ago, I began sewing the binding by machine. The process is faster and far more secure.
Such. beautiful quilts Nancy. I wish I were a better quilter as I woud love to make them to donate.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the advice you give on hee.

Great work done for others.
ReplyDeleteNice binding! Of course it takes a steady had to sew that perfect!!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely!! You do such beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I guess I had not realized (not being a quilter) that the binding is sewn on after the quilting is finished. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure those quilts are greatly loved by those who get one.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! So far we've been lucky to get discounts from 2 local quilters, and donations that have covered the cost. I'm hoping that QOV foundation in having better luck in finding volunteer quilters, as we couldn't even get a response to our requests a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeletethis is a great finish! Nice conclusion , isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! I'll bet those QOV folks love you!
ReplyDeleteMom has started machine sewing binding, but I still prefer to do it by hand.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that putting the binding on is my least favorite part of quilting. I can't put a binding on without it twisting or folding on itself. I really admire how beautifully you put yours on.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Thanks for showing the stitch you use on sewing down the binding. I like the way it looks better than the straight stitch I use.
