First Sunday of June

What a glorious day today.  Not too hot, 26 C - that's about 82 F.  A perfect day to sit out on the deck and do some hand stitching.

I'm putting the binding on the seven shirts quilt so it will be ready to gift to a friend.  I had made a quilt for  his birthday last year.  He was to take it on the road with  him but when he saw it, he decided it was too nice for the truck and he'd use it at home.  Hopefully this one will be deemed appropriate for the truck. 
 
That's it for slow Sunday stitching.  Visit Kathy and see some other great handwork.

What a wonderful quilt Nell! I am working on one in shirts too, but mine still has a long way to go :*) Is your friend a truck driver? My daughter has been driving a truck for the past couple of years.
