Binding wedding quilt and baking bread




The wedding quilt is almost done. Two sides of the binding are sewn down. Ken helped me wrestle it around the sewing machine--much easier with two of us. You can see by the picture how big it is, even hand sewing the binding down is difficult. I have been baking, made a loaf of bread using mashed potatoes and an egg, it smells heavenly, I can hardly wait for it to cool so I can try it. My mother's bread recipe used cooked potatoes and potato water, so I hope mine tastes like hers. There must be something in the weather, it snowed last night and is cold again, and people are baking.

I know you said it was big but this is beyond just big! Sheesh.

Reminds me of the wall-to-wall log cabin swap.

Have you ever put binding on on the longarm? I don't usually but I have with some larger quilts and some for Mom. The Premier doesn't have as much throat space so I haven't done it with it because I'd have to roll more frequently than I want to but my sister does all the time.

The wedding quilt is almost there! It is beautiful. The bread looks so good. I can almost smell it here. *S*
