My slow stitching today will be to hand stitch the binding on my Christmas Rug. I am trying a new technique called the Eaton Edge. I think I will really like it. I wish I had decided to do it before I finished hooking the background. It would have been easier to sew the binding and hook the last row before I worked on the border. This has been a bigger rug and I am considering a bigger frame for hooking, more like a quilt frame.

Is that a typo? 403 yards added THIS WEEK?! If so, I'm going to show my husband this post ;-). Love all your acquisitions in the pics ... I'd let you shop for me, but NOT with my credit card, strictly a cash allownace -- LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat rug looks amazing! Love your jelly rolls especially the moda spots! Look forward to seeing these made up.
ReplyDeleteWOW, you brought home some great new fabrics. It's a good think there is only 1 Black Friday per year, right??
ReplyDeleteI agree stupid black friday sales!! I did it too, LOL But you got some gorgeous fabrics:-)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty acquisitions. Those black Friday deals were hard to resist. But you've got lots of fun stash to play with now. I've had a few acquisition years like yours and I just look on those as my "retirement stash savings plan".
