In the middle of the joy and bustle of the holidays, I like to take precious moments to sit quietly and reflect on the lessons learned, the chances not taken, the mis-steps, the words spoken and unspoken, and the joys and accomplishments of the past 365 days. Hand sewing always gives me that chance. #quiltbonding time can be therapeutic.

The road to the farm under a December fingernail moon:

Ditto!! I love binding especially during the winter and it is a reflective time for me as well.
Val — I’m glad I’m not the only one!
Hi Sandy! Oh yes, please! I love some hand sewing time, especially in the winter when you can snuggle under the quilt and enjoy its warmth as you finish off the binding. Love! And that road to the farm looks like a familiar well traveled one. Happy Happy Tuesday to you. ~smile~ Roseanne
Roseanne– I love the hand sewing part! Unfortunately, this is my only project at this current stage — I’ve got to get piecing!
I’m not a hand binder but late at night when I’m alone with wine and my journal I do reflect on lessons learned and plan next steps!
Wine, did you say wine??? I think I might have to try your technique!
Lovely post – it makes me want to have something to sit around and bind! Love all the photos, especially the road to the farm!
