Luckily, we have that under control, at least for the time being ;-)
First, added borders to our Doris's 100th Quilt of Valor quilt top - all ready to be quilted in time for our 2018 Veteran's Day Celebrations!

| Doris's 100th QOV gets ALL bordered out - ready for quilting! |
Like to sew these borders on in 'marathon-style':

| Sewing on the last side border |
And then there was the binding of 'another' QOV:
 |
| Attaching binding |
 |
| Top-stitching the binding in place w/decorative stitch & thread |
We like to use a decorative stitch for attaching the front of the binding w/matching machine quilting thread for a nice, secure touch:
 |
| Our favorite machine stitch to use is this applique pen-stitch - finishes out securely and beautifully |
And then there was the quick organizing that needed to be done, (actually not so quick - took almost two days but, at least it's done!)
 |
| 1 tub down - Only three more to go for Fall Cleaning/Organizing! |
Clue #2 of one of our latest Patriotic Mysteries in the works:
Will need to go back and finish Clue #1 over the weekend!
In the meantime, need to finish binding this beauty:
 |
| Quilted w/Becker's Shooting Star quilt design w/#5088 Fantastico Grain Acres - ALL ready for binding! |
Later,
