I did it

Last night Jen and I went to our local quilt store Patched Works and took a completer class. You could bring anything you wanted and they had people there to help you out. I've always had trouble joining my binding. It has always turned out lumpy and I don't like the looks of it. So last night I took along some project linus quilts that I had the binding partially spiewn on so I could learn the right way.

I now finally got it and I can't even tell where it is I joined the two pieces together. It was also costume night there. I went as a tomato pincushion. I took a red swet shirt and put on all kinds of safety pins all over it. Then I put some thread on some of them because I aways have needles on mine with thread on them. I had a red head band and I took a piece of solid green fabric and tied it around with a bow on the top and stuck some pins in that too. Jen was a runner for breast cancer and her theme was runs with scissors. She was adorable. The shop owner Julie had the best costume of all. She made a sock monkey suit. It was fantastic. I'm just sorry I forgot to take my camera. I think Jen took pictures so I hope she posts some. Julie's Mom was the queen of pillowcases. She took Moda fabric and made herself a giant pillowcase. Now atleast I have a great idea for next year. Lots of fun was had and we got to pick a goodie bag for wearing a costume and I got 20% off of a purchase.
