Binding Time

It's binding time...the machine quilting is all done on the new quilt, the binding is made, attached, and I'm down to the hand sewing.  Normally when I'm sewing, or machine quilting I face away from the TV, so I do lots of listening, but during binding time I actually get to watch TV.  Stella does feel that it is her opportunity to hide under the quilt, and steal my thread, scissors, and needle threader.  That's okay though, she's my girl.

Let's see, this is what I've been able to catch up on...

• Shakespeare in Love
• Sophie's Choice
• reruns of Frasier (I love David Hyde Pierce / Niles)
• reruns of Simply Quilts

DVR is a fabulous thing don't you think?  I have another night of hand sewing, so tonight I think I'm going to watch something with Robert Redford (sigh) what a dream!  Maybe Three Days of the Condor...great movie.  A couple of other great movies I love to sew to are Long Hot Summer (Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward), and Next Stop Wonderland (Hope Davis, Philip Seymour Hoffman).  I'm working on a series of quilts for a book, and I've sewn all of them to Next Stop Wonderland.  I can't hear the music from the movie now without thinking of those quilts.  It's interesting isn't it how sounds, and smells are like a time stamp in our mind. 

Happy Sewing!

These look so lovely and vibrant!
I really agree with you on the associations- I remember where I was, what I ate, what I listened too etc everytime I look at a quilt. I have just written a post about exactly the same thing!
This is always happening to me in blogland!
