My post about "no posts" generated responses from many of you. Glad to see I am not alone. October is the month when I give away the charity quilts made throughout the year. The problem is much of September must be spent binding the quilts. I love to piece tops. Quilting is done by someone else on a long arm machine but that final boring task of binding is up to me. When working on my own quilts or one for a gift I usually enjoy the relaxing hand sewing of binding. With twenty charity quilts to finish they must be bound on the machine. The gal who does the long arm work gives them back ten at a time. I should have started the first batch as soon as she returned them. It is like exercising---once I start stitching it isn't so bad, being motivated to start is the problem. Seven are bound. If I turn off this computer another would be finished before dinner. Once the quilts are bound I can start a quilt for my granddaughter who is expected in December. That is motivation to finish the bindings.
