The day of B's


Today I'm brewing,


baking,


and binding.

Brewing:  a ginger beer bug.

Baking:  two ginger-crunch cakes, one for the School Regatta tomorrow, one for the pantry tins.

Binding:  My tree of life quilt.  Do you like my faux piping?  Or would you call it a flange?  A decorative edging?  Whatever you call it, I like it, and I especially like that I got it pretty neat and tidy.  Two corners are done, two to go.  Do you measure your progress on hand-stitching binding like that?

    I like the flange and yes, I count by corners too. We have ginger beer on the go too :) but I'm afraid my gingernuts were bought.

    I'm making elderberry cordial today which is a first.

    That is exactly how I measure binding. I bet I couldn't bind a round quilt because there would be no corners to count. Ginger beer....sounds delightful.
