Hand sewing

Spent most of my time today hand sewing the invisible/faced binding on these two wall hangings today.  I am impressed with anyone that takes so much time to hand sew. My fingers are sore (need to get a thimble) and if I could have used the sewing machine I could have done it in 5 minutes flat. I like the no binding look though, so it is worth it. 
Have a look





I also have finished the applique on Night Sky 2. I need some batting and then I can sew sew sew. I have ordered some gorgeous glitter/metallic thread and the colour is midnight and I think that it will match perfectly with the night sky. I will get sick of trying to shove a 160cm long quilt into a 9cm opening on my machine :) But oh well.

Getting tired of doing the Body Rock exercises, but when I stop for a day or two I really miss it and so start again. I get very sore from doing such intense workouts. I just need to stop eating junk and then I will actually see results :) story of a dieters life :)
