I can't enter your giveaway, but the binding issue....you leave some extra length where you start the binding...then you can tuck one end inside the other when you come around to the finish.....hope this helps
Check out this 2 part video by Leah day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wprg5vzkuGw
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MRfADz_pyg&feature=relmfu
hope it helps!
I started blogging when I became interested in quilting. I wish I was knowledgeable enough to answer the binding question, but there are tons of great tutorials out there on other blogs.
I just started following you last night and since I just blogged for tonight, I will link you up tomorrow night to get the word out about your give away. For your binding question, you will have to leave some extra length to your binding on both ends at least 2 inches then fold in the other end then cut any extra length. There is a YouTube video with this thing call the binder thingy and Fones & Porter also has the binding tool which I have both. They are great when butting on a binding. I will get back to you about why I became a blogger. If you have time I just wrote a blog on a Blogger's Life and it telles you why I blog. http://theslowquilter.blogspot.com. Hope to hear from you soon.
I started blogging for many small reasons. I needed a way to record my projects and not just with photos. I also joined because my friend did it and she said there were always lots of free giveaways! Thank you for the oppertunity to play!
I follow you!
I started bloggin because I stay at home and do NOT often get out of my house. I am a very social person and kind of got in a slump! I decided to start quilting and I needed help, so I started looking around on the internet. I came accross blogs and decided I would start up, too! I have gotten such great advice and have come very far in one year! I follow you and am glad to have found another newish quilter! :) keep it up!!
I follow you already from the new blogger party :) I started blogging when I found other bloggers on the internet. I realized how useful it could be to keep a diary of my goodness and my badness :) Also, it's fun to share!
Also, since we're both newbies. The character recognition part when I post on your blog is frustrating. I just turned mine off in the settings, but I don't remember how.
I blogged your giveaway and I put my binding tips in there :) http://amateurquilter.blogspot.com/2012/04/craft-nurse-quilt-is-having-giveaway.html
i am a follower and i get close and then sew my binding ends together
Hi, I started blogging recently too. I'm from Malaysia thus can't join in the giveaway but I'm your newest follower. i've stopped by from Rosemary @ The Knitting Quilter.
About the binding, I second Marjorie's Busy Corner as that is the method I use too.
Love the bright colours of your First Quilt top, can't wait to see the finished quilt!
Hey - right off I noticed your font is just like mine on my blog (Coming Soon, huh?) I like it. It looks like my real printing. Is that why you chose it? You are much more ambitious than I am. I just like to buy quilts, instead of make them. have a great time blogging, ~ Renae
I have only been bloging for about 5 months and I started because, I love to write and one of my quilting friends had started a blog and I love to read what she was doing. Then I starting visiting other blogs and I thought that I could do that. I blog late at night because I am so busy during the day with work and grand-kids and it is a way to have a record of what I doing almost like a diary. I chose my name because I am slow when it come to quilting and I collect turtles.
I have you linked up at my blog: http://www.theslowquilter.blogspot.com. Please come on over.
I am a new follower. The GFC button wouldn't display, so did a public follow from the header FOLLOW tab. Blogger tells me:
You are now following Craft Nurse Quilt.
I don't have a blog because AT&T will not provide dsl service to our location. Uploading photos takes forever at the slow dialup speeds and poor quality of AT&T lines. I learned about the quilty blog world when did a google search.It took a long time to become confident enough to follow a blog and leave comments.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I started a blog to help me keep track of the quilts I make. Kinda like an online scrapbook. It has turned into more than that, but I still keep it going like my online scrapbook.
I'm a blog reader! Love to read everyone's blog with quilting ideas for inspiration. Love your fat quarters. Thanks for a chance.
I'm a new follower simply because I find your blog interesting AND because I'm nosey and want to see how the beautiful pink quilt turns out. I love the fq's you're giving away I can see them being part of a lovely quilt. I can't be in your GA I'm in the UK but I've found a blog which I'll enjoy following so I'm a winner anyway.
I started blogging by chancing upon a vintage blog and it went from there. I came to your blog through Made with love by Mary who I came across from Sew many ways blog. See it goes on and on and before long you have a fantastic circle of blogs to enjoy.
I see your question has been answered re the binding so will follow you by email too so I don't miss seeing the quilt when you finish it.
