This past week and the weekend were very busy for me but in my down time I did manage to get the binding on my quilt. I did use the binding technique by Sharon Schamber. I am very pleased with how my binding finished up. Now I just need to get the sleeve and label on and it will be ready for our local guild quilt show in April.
This past Friday night my husband and I volunteered at our church as it held a preview of the movie called Letters to God. The movie is based on a true story about a boy named Tyler with cancer. All the proceeds from the ticket sales that night went to Cancer Services. We had a very good turn out. The movie comes out April 9 and if it comes to your city you should check out. It is a very sweet movie and it will touch your heart.
Yes, it is a new week and I have things I want to accomplish this week. I know you all do too and I hope it is a very good week for each of you.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

I've used Sharon's method several times but only on wall hangings or smaller quilts. The bindings are perfect every time - amazing. blessings, marlene

This is an eye-catching quilt, Carrie. The flowers make you think you're looking at something sedate, and then you surprise the viewer with the snappy colors and movement along the sides. The quilt has wonderful contrast - seasonings. Great work! It's a prize winner, in my opinion.
