Getting closer

to the finish line that is.

I used this pretty thread for the quilting.


A shot from the back - the backing is a soft twill fabric that was donated to the stash, perfect for this project.


No surprises here, almost straight line quilting in the ditch on the diagonal.


Today I prepared and sewed the binding on. 
It's all trimmed now waiting for hand stitching binding down.


The Katya sock is almost done also.
Just one more pattern repeat before the toe shaping. Luckily the weather is still cool enough for woollen socks.


A great way to start a new week.

Happy creating.
