The principal of a jr. high that I worked for, told me to always set my priorities. Which letter needed to be typed first, etc. It has been my motto ever since, and so, I finally came to terms with my quilting projects - finish ONE project and while you are finishing that ONE project, you can figure out which project you need to go to next, to finish. FINISH is the key word. I have made a lot of
progress that way. It makes you feel so 'good'!!!

I have always called myself a "quilting supply collector". I buy fabric and notions and tools but rarely produce anything with them!

I am a "one at a time" person (in fact one project had to be packed away whilst I work on another that has a deadline coming up), but that doesn't stop me picking up new future projects along the way.

Me too! Lol

I guess I am a rounder, I wonder around from quilt project to quilt project. I have two tops currently finished but batting and backing only attached to one, but not finished quilting it yet, have had a lot of trouble with it. I am doing it by machine quilting no long armer near. I am currently working on one I've put away off and on, hope to get all three of these finished before October Fall Fair. I also have three others partly finished and still just on my ufo list. I have four in mind with fab. and patterns for ones that I want to do as soon as possible. I eventually get them finished but I have had too many interuptions this summer. So I am a "quilt-a-rounder" I guess. But I am having fun all along the way, and that's what's important. This is my stress releaser.

I give myself a "time out" so to speak.Might go wks...or even a few mos without working on a project.Just reading about quilts,buying a couple
new patterns,some fabric etc helps me restart with fresh eyes.

Spending time here,saving tips/tutes/pics........sorting thru other saved
quilting info,tossing some etc.It works for me.

I'm interested in your fabric. ;)

Greetings - we are all related!

First I ran through all my hiding places, gathered up all my projects and put them in one place. Took a picture, made myself count what was there. Posted that here :)

Then I took the projects I could and ironed them and hung them in the closet. Decided there were four I did not want to do, so sold the panels (thank you to those that bought them). The remaining ones I am working through.

That is not to say I haven't created more, thanks to this great board, but they don't get hidden and they don't require any new material purhases - so I don't count them :)

So one by one - rather than two by two :) - I am getting through my collection of things that need to be done.

Dont worry I a "Overwelming collector" and I love it
cant say no if someone wants to give me fabric, sewing
stuff , but I am have the time of my life , and dont intend to stop.

Collector here...books, patterns, notions, fabric, fabric, and fabric. I love it all!!

PROVE HIM WRONG!!!! Start sewing and quilting projects.

Won't that give YOU great satisfaction TWICE...proving him wrong AND getting project completed.

Say NO to buying for a while...I know it will be difficult if not impossible...
