It takes me almost as long to do the hand finished binding on a quilt as it does to quilt the quilt. I may be a slow hand sewer, but I am a little fussy about how the stitches look. Not a fanatic though! I finished the quilting on this one yesterday and worked on the binding last night.
We have gloomy weather today, but at least we missed out on the snowstorm that they were watching a few days ago.
We have a 100 room hotel and a convention center now in the little town of Sandwich, IL. When I moved here 48 years ago we had only one traffic light. It continued that way for many years. Now we have 5 traffic lights. There weren't any hotels for miles and we have a very active fairgrounds. We have the largest county fair in Illinois in Sept. but the fairgrounds is rented out for many other functions. The most popular one is an antique show once a month for 6 or 7 months. We have needed a hotel for a long time but no one imagined we would get such a big one. There will be an indoor water park next door being built this summer. We also have several subdivisions in the planning stage on all sides of town. Like they say, one thing you can depend on is change.
