a bit of stitching

I finished the quilting and now am working on putting the binding on Miss J's quilt.  I hope to get it done before I HAVE to go to the post office.  I really need to send a batch of business cards off to my sister.  I am not happy with all of the them but they will be a stop gap until I print more.  I know I am going to learn a lot next week and I may decide to recycle all of these.

Once the quilting was done, I was able to start a dress.  I have decided to double seam everything like I used too.  I find that the thread I can buy seems to wear faster then it used to and break.  When I first started using this sewing machine, I double seamed everything.  I am doing it again.  A dress that would take me a hour and half to sew is going to take almost twice as long to stitch.  It is okay.  I would rather the fabric go then the seams.  

I hope to have some nightgowns made soon.  I have some old nightgowns that need to be cut into squares for the linen quilt I am making for Nirinjan.  A lot of her quilt is going to be worn out clothes.  I am excited about her quilt.  And new nightgowns.  A new top or two.  New skirts.  I did buy a lot of linen.
