jolly holidays
The countdown is on – less than 100 days to go. I love Christmas. There, I said it! Firstly: presents. Look, I know that it isn't all about pressies but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy unwrapping something special! This year I’ve laid down some serious hints as to what's on my wish list. Also… really good telly. Nothing beats curling up under an almost-finished quilt to stitch the binding on with a box set, or a spot of EPP to a nostalgic festive film. And then there's Boxing Day. A day to unpack all those lovely stitchy gifts, and maybe even start work on a new project – between leftover turkey sandwiches! Need I say more? A season of sharing with people you love. So yes,…

Just make sure to backstitch to secure the ends, and press your seam open for a flawless, flat finish. JOINING ENDS 1 Attach the binding to your quilt, leaving 8in tails at each end and a 12½in gap between the two ends. 2 Place the short flat edge under the binding on one side (edge A aligned with the quilt edge) and mark on the line. 3 Unfold…
