In a Bind

All I've been doing is quilting and binding. My sole personal sewing accomplishment is to trace my shirt pattern. Hopefully I can get this made before Friday, which is when the One Monthly Goal finish link up opens. I'm undecided about grading in the waist and hips. I think I may sew it as-is and then take it in a bit if needed. 

Let's look at the quilts I've worked on (all these photos are unedited and many are a bit tilted; sorry). First I bound Tina's quilt that I shared last week. This one was really big and very thick with the fluffy backing. 

Then I quilted Haley's quilt with Cloud Slide. I love the panto pairing with the quilt top!

I made the binding and attached it to the front of the quilt so that she can hand-stitch it down. Another fluffy backing. I realized I should have flipped that corner back so you can see the binding (the blue), but I already returned this quilt.
After completing these projects I vacuumed my sewing room to get rid of all the little fluffs.

Next I quilted Connie's quilt with Bubble Glitter. 

I then made the binding and fully finished it. 

I quilted Sara's quilt with Stipple. 

Then I quilted Cindy's quilt with Basic Swirl. 

I have three more partial bindings and a full binding left in my queue and the rest are just the quilting at the moment, so I may get a chance to work on my own things soon.

I have plans for many things I'd like to or need to work on. I have a few more projects left to complete my PHD for this year. I NEED to make a dust cover for my serger. I still can't believe it didn't come with one. 😒 I have so many other projects waiting to be sewn and I have many hours of classes to watch. And of course, there are always lots of chores to be completed. 

My son and I have been looking for the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS comet every night over the past week and a half. Monday night it was so faint we could only see a bit of the tail without using the phone to photo the whole thing. I'm still amazed that it's only visible every 80,000 years. We've witnessed so many cool science-related things this year. Here's the comet Monday night as captured by my iPhone.
