As has been mentioned once or twice around here, our very own Ricky Tims won Best of Show at this year's Houston International Quilt Festival for his quilt, The Visitation. The quilt is quite the sight to see on its own, but knowing the story behind it gives it a personal connection that will help you to appreciate it on a deeper level. Our friends at BERNINA interviewed Ricky on the floor of Houston to get that story, take a look at his career in quilting, and more.

Think of all the quilts you've made. Now think about how you bound each quilt. Did you bind every one the same way? Maybe, maybe not, because there are many different ways to bind a quilt, and each one desires a binding fit for that quilt. Today, Julie Bridgeman at WeAllSew is going to show you how to do one such binding, Blindstitch Binding the BERNINA Way, which will give your quilt that appearance of a hand stitched binding done by machine.
