You bound your quilt…. I have two quilts waiting for binding two years …. just sitting on a shelf.
Labeling quilts ….I have been free motion quilting the information on the backing fabric.
My niece had a quilt stolen when she was at college. It got recovered and because I had all the information sewn on the backing. It was really small because I had used the fonts on my sewing machine. I had all the information there the police returned it. Helped I had photos of the quilt too. I now use Ricky Tims Stable Stuff in large sheet and FMQ all the info in large letters.
BTW …. I am in the not giving quilts away except as baby quilts…. that said I still have my DD quilt to bind and give away .. it is only two years since I made it.
Love the pictures from QUILT CON …. I have to try to get on Instagram but since I am on a new computer I am locked out… I can not remember my password… HEY SUCCESS !!! Tried again while listening to your podcast.
GOING to re listen as I am sure I missed something
You did not

Re-listened
CRAFTSY CLASSES …. I always knew CRAFTSY would not last that is why I always liked DVDs
Frances have you ever tried QUILT AS YOU GO ??? Thinking of doing it for the next baby quilt.
Did you realized you talked about a quilt but did not post the picture … on the hunt for a pic … Charles Cameron” small quilt is missing. Frau Hansen’s quilt pic is also missing … Sorry I am complaining but I can not find pics of the winners yet.

Thanks, Nonnie–I’ll update the post to include those pix!
Love your podcasts!! Binding— Bonnie Hunter’s pictures and direction are pulled up on the phone EVERY time🤣 thanks for pics- understand travel angst! 2024 !! Who hoo!
I’ll have to check out Bonnie’s tutorials–thanks for the rec! And yes to QuiltCon 2024 in Raleigh–it’s going to be a big party! Thanks for commenting, Monica!
Thanks for the latest podcast. I remembered that I wanted to thank you for the reference to Zelinda’s yoga videos on You Tube. She is great! Also, I am a big fan of Gillian Welch, too.
A number of years ago, someone taught me a great method for joining the binding by cutting the overlap the exact length equal to the width I cut the binding and I finally ‘got it’. I have loved doing binding ever since.
Loved your doll house plans!
Linda
The method of binding you describe is the one I like–but for some reason I need to watch someone do it and follow what they’re doing step by step! It’s nice to hear from a fellow Gillian fan! I’ve been listening to her for years and her music never grows old! Thanks for commenting, Linda–and listening!
I love that your podcasts ramble. I listen on my daily walks and I feel like you are walking and talking with me…and sometimes I talk back at you.
I look forward to taking a walk with you in person one day, Jacqui! It could happen!
Such a nice way to start and end my work day with a new episode from you!
I have a lot of Craftsy classes but most of the time I’m looking at MSQC or Fat Quarter Shop videos for techniques. I haven’t been successful at getting my classes to show on my TV and my tablet and phone are too small for my aging eyes to get a good look at a process.
Keep on with the “rambling”, hearing someone else’s thoughts gets me out of my own head and that’s always a plus!
I should check out the Fat Quarter Shop tutorials–I bet they’re good! Thanks, Melissa!
Frances I think your Wonky Miss Ohio is lovely. I’ve found your podcast through Kristin at Simple Handmade. I enjoy hearing you chat about quilting. Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words about Wonky Miss Ohio, Jan! I’m glad Kristin sent you my way!
Enjoyed the podcast, as always. Finally commenting not just in my head! Thank you for the Quiltcon pictures. Not a modern quilter, so I hadn’t looked at many of the pictures. I bind quilts completely by machine because I don’t hand stitch anything
Except, when I join the ends of the binding, I hand baste the diagonal joining seam. Then it is really easy to remove the seam when I realize I turned one end the wrong way and have to redo.
Hi, Nancy–I like to do the diagonal joining seam, too, but for some reason I have to watch someone else do it–it’s never intuitive for me, which is frustrating! And no matter what, I always do it the wrong way at least one, usually twice.
Thanks for commenting–and for writing your comment down here! It’s good to hear from you! xo
You “bound it like a muggle”. Almost choked on my tea! 😂 Love your posts and podcasts 🤗
Thanks so much, Joanne! And thanks for commenting! xo
Love wonky Miss Ohio! Such a great quilt.
