Finished Quilts, Special Events

Finishing up the Project Linus Quilts

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

This is a follow up to the posts Project Linus Mini Quilt Retreat, Part I and Project Linus Mini Retreat, Part II.

Last Wednesday the new community based quilt group I joined met to finish up the Project Linus quilts they started in April. Several members with longarm quilting machines completed the quilting on the quilts and put on the binding. Now it was time to sew down the binding so the 5 quilts could get donated.

Instead of hand stitching down the binding, the team decided to just “stitch in the ditch” the binding to finish the quilts.

I got the binding on three quilts sewn down, while others worked on adding the binding to those not finished. Here are some photos from the morning:
