Then, low and behold, we got news that my older son's basketball team was to participate in a tournament that same Saturday morning. Although my sew-in time at my machine was nix, I could still take something with me to sew at the basketball games.
We started early-early in the morning and endured the one hour drive. Our team had played very well, which led us to the championship game. The game would be played in the evening, so we were there all day. I had a lot accomplished with my hand sewing on my Kaleidoscope quilt.
But I couldn't stop. As of yesterday, I had continued with my own personal sew-in. I had finished the tedious clean-up work at the game Saturday but I had added the border and edge-work. I thought I'm going to need to see if my ideas will work, might as well try it out.
I think I'll use (try to envision) black as the binding...
Or should I applique the scalloped border to a black background?
What do you think?

p.s.
At the long day of basketball, one of my son's teammate's little sister was there also, with their family. I had caught her attention with my sewing and soon she was helping me out. She was snipping the thread at the of its knot, and she seemed to the interested when I was explaining what I was trying to do with my quilt.
So, to help her keep her busy during those long basketball games that her older brother has to play, I thought I would make her a little bag and fill it up with some sewing things. Hopefully, she and I will be sewing away together.
How fun to inspire a new generation!! I love hand work. Most of the time, I dont have the time or space to bring out my machine.
