The puff sampler ...

Hee hee. I was just remembering when we were children, my siblings and I, we didn't call them "quilts" nor "comforters". During all our growing up years these bed clothes were known as "puffs". The memory brings a smile.

I like the word "puff" and think I'll start using it instead of "quilt."

So here now presenting my sampler puff. I finished the handstitching during this evening's Olympics coverage. I like handstitching, and first discovered this when hemming cloth on the loom. It's quiet, slow--yet steady work. I hand stitched the binding on the back side using ladder stitch. What a clever little stitch! Totally invisible. Shown in second picture.
