I'm so unmotivated today I'm surprised I made it to work with hair and teeth brushed. I could have happily spent the day in the sewing room where it's nice and cool, shooing cats off of whatever I'd be working on.
I did get the binding finished on Mama Tanya's quilt yesterday, and washed/dried it, then delivered. She was thrilled, of course :) Might take some convincing for her to actually use it as opposed to just hanging it up somewhere.
Next project is to finish up the blocks of the month from Calico Hearts and then take 4 quilts to be sandwiched and finished. I still have the chicken quilt, the quilt for a cure, and then the 2 bom's to be completed. 3 of them have homes, but I'm not sure about the batik bom. It's pretty so far, but I haven't chosen the background fabric yet. I need to get that done this week or next.
I did figure out a trick with the Thangles yesterday. Once you have them stitched and need to remove the paper, rip it about halfway down the piece, all the way to the seam. Then you can tear it off without putting your end seams in danger of coming loose. That makes them a little (I mean, TINY) bit easier to deal with, but I still would never use them again. They haven't really saved me any time yet. However, my cats love chasing the little bits of paper all over the floor.
It's not even 10:30 yet. :(
