Storm (at Sea) is over

 Another week, another finish. I am sure I won't sustain that rhythm for very long but let's make the most of it while it last!

I picked up my mini Storm at Sea top that had been ready for quilting since last January and had re-joined the UFO pile. I had originally started the piecing in 2010, not sure why it took me so long to finally get back to it really!

I found a very nice fabric in my stash, one that had been there for over 15 years for sure. 




The quilting is a very straight forward stitch in the ditch, with my favorite King Tut's thread.

As for the binding, another fabric from my stash, a batik this time, to keep with the top, that I finished hand sewing yesterday.

One less UFO in my pile and one more crossed off my PhD list.

And I can happily report that I spent at least 4x15 minutes in the sewing room this week working on this UFO.

  2. Congratulations on a very pretty finish. It always feels so good to get one of the older UFOs off the list. Congrats on the stitching time last week. Happy stitching this week.
