Slow Valance Binding :)

Thanks for all the well wishes… I am feeling almost back to normal now which means I finally got the binding on the valance!  Yippee 🙂

I sew it down my machine to the front and then hand sew it to the back… however this is the shape of my valance before binding was added…

 It measures 62″ across and 20″ down.

I am planning a post on my decisions for binding but won’t know the outcome until it has been finished and washed… so stay tuned for a meaty post about binding this zig zag edge and what I think of the decisions I made.  I opened this up a quilty facebook group I am a part of which spawned more info needed! lol

So the Sunny Side Up Charmer Valance will soon be a reality!!!

Here is a close up of the binding being held in place.. from the front side

And here is my progress early this morning… about 3/4 done with the zig zag edge which is where I started…

Here is a special pic I took this morning for my friend Kathy as I plan to link this post to her Slow Sunday Stitching post… you should come and take a look.  Today she is offering a giveaway if you post a blog post with our hand stitching in it… here is my pic…

And HERE is here linky party info 🙂

Well, my honey really wants this valance done now that I am feeling more like myself.. so time to get back to stitching for me.. hope you make time to do something crafty today!
