Cross-posted from Steemit. Hello, Hive!
While I was visiting my sister in Arizona, I hand-sewed the binding onto the quilt. Her craft table beneath a sky light was the perfect place for that job. She made those cute little pin cushions I'm borrowing.
About two weeks ago, my quilting friend, Ms. B., showed me how to make a sleeve for a dowel rod and hand-sew it to the back of the quilt. Yesterday my hubby cut the dowel rod to the right length and drilled holes near the ends for the string. Today my son positioned the hook and hung the quilt over our stairway. I am very pleased with it.
My previous quilting posts were long ago, but if you'd like to see the work in progress, here are the link.

It's really beautiful. Excellent work, and a nice post to lift us all up. Thanks.
Thank you!! It was quite the learning curve for me.

Thank you!
Welcome to Hive! Glad you made the switch!
Just needed a little help. Hee hee.
Wow, handsewing a quilt, this sounds intimidating. Quilting is still unknown to me and I cannot imagine how someone manages to be so precise. I once tried to sew a sweater with a sharp triangle as a decor element and found very difficult.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful project with us.
Thanks for stopping by! I only hand-sewed the binding; the remainder of the quilt was done with a sewing machine. It certainly requires a great deal of precision. I don't think I'll get addicted to quilting, but I may try another one some day.
