1. How do you define a WIP?

A sewing WIP is anything that is cut out and in progress. I also knit and crochet and I make sure I do several rows before I put them down.

2. How many quilt WIPs do you currently have?
I currently only have on WIP in progress. I do have about 10 projects on my "to make" list.

3. How many non-quilt WIPs do you currently have?

I have one knitted hat and three crocheted afghans I'm working on.

4. What stages are most of your WIPs in?

The quilt is ready to be quilted, the afghans are in the beginning stages.

5. What is the most number of WIPs you have ever had at once?

Five

6. What method do you currently use to keep track of WIPs/Completed projects?

I keep my WIPs out where I can see them so I can remind myself to work on them when I have time.

7. How many quilting patterns and books do you own?

About 7 books and about 5 patterns (newbie).

8. How many of those patterns and book you own have been used for a project?

None.

9. What method do you currently use to keep track of your patterns & books?

No method, my books are on a bookshelf and my patterns are in a drawer.

1. For me, a WIP is a UFO that is actually being worked on - after all, Work In Progress indicates to me that progress must be made.
2. I have 6 projects in the true WIP stage but there are at least 15 UFOs in the cabinet and at least that many "ideas" to be turned into something tangible (hopefully finished quilts).
3. Not sure what you mean by "non-quilt" WIPs. We are renovating the house. Does that count?
4. Most are either ready to be sandwiched or already pinned and ready to be quilted.
5. I think this is it - 6.
6. I really don't. The WIPs are all out in the open and I see them. I know what needs to be the next step on each one and work on whichever one I feel like at the moment. Other than that, I share pictures with my forum friends. Any more tracking turn the project into a chore - and I hate chores.
7. Have not counted them. Let's say 3 shelves in the IKEA cabinet and 4 big binders with clear plastic sheets. The least I have is patterns - maybe 25.
8. Sometimes I take ideas from a book. Sometimes I use a technique from a book. Sometimes I combine and mix from different books. Patterns and books for me are very enjoyable. I look at them - sometimes again and again. There is no pressure to actually "use" them. One book I use time and time again is "It's OK If You Sit On My Quilt"
9. The books are in a glass-front cabinet. I don't keep track of what I have. I just know.

Quite simply, I'd have to gut my sewing room and lay stuff out to answer your question!
