The binding

I have all of the binding stitched to the front of “Insanity” now to begin the hand stitching on the back of it.  I got started doing that this evening.  I’m not going to take photo’s of every step, but here are two photos of the beginning.

the start of making the binding nice and neat at one of the first corners.

The back of the same area.

When I get done with the binding I plan on putting a little more quilting in.  I think the scallops look a little bare.  I think I will quilt the shape of the scallops about half way in the scallop if you know what I mean.  Following the shape of the scallop?  I’m not always good at explaining what I mean the important thing is I know what I mean!

Have any of you gone to a physical therapist?  Wow can they torture you at times!!  The first couple visits were nice and relaxing actually – the last two! wow what a difference – he is pulling and stretching my neck and shoulders until I’m almost ready to scream – but then it is done and later in the day I think I feel a little more range of motion in my neck.  But now tonight I am aching again.  Almost out of muscle relaxers – hope to see some improvement tomorrow!

We pick up our new dining room set tomorrow I will post photos if we get it set in place.  The table comes in two pieces as the table top sits on a pedestal type of stand – there is actually a shelf on the pedestal and a drawer where you can store placemats, tablecloths ect.  I’ll post a photo when we have it ready.  I’m afraid I’m not going to be a lot of help to Mike getting it on and off the trailer – I’m glad it comes in two pieces!
