Excuses Part One.

Binding.
I have an aversion to it.
Long story.
But this week I thought that I would commence binding my Soul Searching quilt.
Note I said commence not complete.
I adore this quilt and the journey that I had making it. Just love it, really odd that I love it that much, but I do.
So, the binding was made....


And stitched on...


But I couldn't finish it because...


The cat sat on it!

    Don't blame the poor cat! Send them to me and I will do your bindings.

    That's so funny....I hate binding too...but I don't have a cat! Take it from a revent finisher......finishing is better.

    Send it on over Cardy . I love doing bindings (I also love that quilt so if you do send it to me you may not get it back for a while )

    I think it is hard to finish up a project you love...kind of like saying good bye.
    I think the cat excuse could work for a day...
    Good luck!

    So cats help with procrastination too? The quilt is gorgeous and no wonder you have loved doing it so much...

    It's funny I love the binding as it means I am actually going to finish the quilt. Have lots of tops in my cupboard unfinished that need quilting first. Love your post. I guess the cat is telling you he needs some of your attention. Hugs....

    That's so funny and the cat so cute. You have trained that cat well, I might try and train our dogs to do that.

    I was about to say just what wish2stitch said but glanced up... lucky....My latest homework excuse is the home printer is broken or I have lost my USB Miss.
    Oh Cardy???...any excuse. Sh... don't tell anyone but I have 2 in the cupboard waiting to be bound.. Its just one of those things when you juggle time. So I better get into it too.....LOL May be we should have a little competition...

    Lol, I love the look on your cat's face. With binding I just tell myself it's one stitch at a time and it will be over before i know it.
