So Close… Yet So Far!!

Has this ever happen to you? You put something important in a special place, but could not remember what that special place is…. Well, that is exactly what happened to me here!!!!! I was so happy that I finished all the hand quilting, and have everything ready for the binding, even made a quilt tag that was going to go with it.

But where did I put that roll of binding?! I had it cut and rolled before our move back to Taiwan because it’s easier to store. I even remember unpacking it and put it at a special place for ease access, but now I can’t remember just where that special place is…. I went through all the shelves and drawers that I put my craft things and couldn’t find it. So much for being organized!!! After two days of digging through all my stuff, I am giving up. I’ll just have to put it aside for now and hope that the binding will turn up when I least expected. So here is my quilt minus the binding….

Moving on to my next project – the Mary Wigham Sampler!!!! Another UFO for such a long time!!! I decided to pick it up again, because I want to finish all my UFOs before starting on a new project again. Besides, I’m quite enjoying Mary’s company~ The last time I’ve worked on this was on September 30,2011!! It has waited long enough, won’t you say?!

  3. Safe places - they're funny places in that they often stay so very very safe. I have a pair of Dovo scissors in my safe place!

    Congratulations on your beautiful almost finished quilt. Mary is looking good too!

  9. Oh, your quilt is so very lovely! I admire you for all that wonderful hand stitching and finishing it (you'll find the binding I'm sure!!). Such a pretty pattern and I do admire your color choices. Beautiful! Yes, I can identify- my Mary Wigham Sampler has been sitting in my UFO bag since 2011 as well! Perhaps I should get mine out, too!
