My friend Sue came over for a sewing day and lunch. We both needed to get some bindings on and it is nice to have a diversion, this so not being my favorite quilting activity.

smiling or gritting her teeth? you be the judge-ha

I spotted this little family paddling past

And, let me tell you, it was AGONY cutting in to my first batik from Bali! Oh, I didn't want to do it. Just four strips for binding but I'm telling you, it hurt! I hope I don't have this much trouble with every one of the 171 meters (!) I brought home. Zoiks! Sue even said, Don't Do It! Big help she is.

So awesome to look at the pattern and know how it was done.
