Did you ever have too many projects going at once? Too many UFO’s? Too many bee blocks waiting to “become”? Embroidery projects on the burner?
This is where I am now!!
When I first started to quilt, I made one item at a time. I bought the supplies I needed for that and only that project. I started at the beginning and worked until it was completed. Now, I am so inspired by what I see that I must do it all!! Well start it all!!
So, I now have a pile of, “must do it all’s”!!
Hmmm, as I get older I tend to get bored just working on one thing. So I needed a plan, a plan to finish what I started. You know. the things we really want to make and complete. Believe me there are many UFO’s that will just stay that. But by working on those quilt projects I learned a great deal about quilting.
See I am rambling…. So back to a plan!
I sat at my sewing machine and thought okay, one hour of just machine sewing. Yes, just one hour and see what happens. (I would so rather be hand quilting)
But!!
But!!
By gosh it worked!!
I worked on a new Zig Zag Quilt,
worked on my Five Dollar quilt
and worked on my string quilt.
No, of course I did not finish then but I did not get bored working on just one project!
And progress was made!
OK not a ton! But progress!!
And progress was made!
OK not a ton! But progress!!
YIPPEE!!
Tonight while watching TV I will hand quilt a Halloween project I am making. This is my reward for putting in my hour!!
How do you work on projects? One at a time or many?
