I went into my sewing room yesterday to make a post and got totally sidetracked and never got to the computer. In the end, it worked out because Mom and I were gone all day yesterday and I wouldn't have had anything to post today. We went to Farmville, about an hour and a half away, to meet up with two cousins and some friends. It was a really nice day. The one thing I accomplished a couple of days ago is getting Fabr Farm quilted and trimmed. It's ready for binding but that will have to wait until I get home from my trip. I'm thinking about a medium/dark green for the binding like one of the leaf greens. What do you think? The back is a gradient. It's a pattern that I used to have in the shop called Thrive and I really like it with the theme of the quilt.
About my trip. I'm leaving Monday to ride with a friend from Richmond to Denver. She spends the winter in Colorado skiing and I'm just going along to keep her company for the trip. I don't stay to ski because, well, I have altitude sickness and absolutely no interest in skiing. The trip is going to be a lot of fun with stops in
I will not have my computer with me so I will not be blogging. I think I'll have 3 posts scheduled while I'm gone but I'll have a full report when I return. I have a crochet project to take along to work on in the van while we are on the road. I'll be busy packing this weekend so I won't have anything meaningful to post. I'll have book reviews on Tuesday, my December summary Wednesday and one last Christmas project Thursday. Have a great New Year!

How about a dark blue binding? Drive safely to Colorado. The weather is very likely to be dicey along the way.

I like either the dark green or a navy blue for the binding - and then I think it should come live with me on the ranch for a bit.. haha!!

Have a great trip! I don't like to sit for that long on a trip. Last March to Greenville was a stretch for me. Sounds like lots of great things to see! Fun way to start 2025.

Enjoy your trip! You will be about 30 minutes from me when you visit Mammoth Cave!!! Too bad I didn't know, I would have offered a room(s).

I wonder how the grey in the calf (bottom row middle) would work as a binding?

I can't believe you got that quilt quilted already! That sounds like a fun trip!

The Fab Farm quilt looks great! I agree that a green binding matching one of the greens in the quilt would look nice.
