Good Grief....Just Bind It!

I bought this Jo's Little Women pattern and fabric in a kit a few years ago.

It sat in my sewing cabinet for a long time.

One weekend I finally cut out the fabric and sewed the top together.

Then it sat on my sewing table for a long time.

One evening I decided it wouldn't take much time to machine quilt such a small quilt....and it didn't....I even sewed the binding on.

Then it sat neatly folded on my ironing board for a long time.

Then Christmas projects took priority.

After that....there are no excuses.

One night this week I sewed up a couple gifts for a young friend who just had her third baby....

a reversible apron....

and a Minkee snuggle blanket for her new little son.

I was glad I still had a yummy bar of Lemon soap from my last order with Apple Valley Natural Soap to include with the gift.

While I was cleaning up from my projects, I came across some small spools of thread that I had picked up on one of my thrifting outings.

Looking through the selection of colored thread triggered something in my brain......

Oh yes.....the unfinished binding....which sat for too long because I didn't think I had any cheddar colored thread!!!

It was here all along!

It is now sitting on my dining room table.....

and it will NOT be there for long!
