I have a baker's...Oh my, UFOs - we have them. I have a baker's dozen quilting projects in various stages; that's too many.<br /><br />One is in the binding stage, one being hand quilted, two English Paper Piecing projects (oops - shouldn't have started a Lucy Boston.....), two applique projects, a hand piecing project, one center medallion that needs upper and lower extensions and then a border, two leader/enders (one is a scrappy bars rail fence, the other is a "Chinese Coin" - so very similar blocks), a couple of 'orphan block' stacks (one in just Christmas fabrics, one with rescued blocks from 1980s fabrics) and my son's Quilt of Valor. So 13 plus the mystery coming up. There's no lack of things to work on, that's for sure. Especially since I also knit and do needlework (surface and counted thread embroidery). <br /><br />Active is the Quilt of Valor, the finishing (binding, sleeve and label)on my Scrappy Sister's Choice (thanks for the free tutorial, btw) and one of the EPP projects. Everything else needs to wait it's turn LOL. I'm trying to finish two projects 'from the list', then I can start a new project if I want to. <br /><br />The problem with too many projects is that I get a bad case of "working, working and never finishing". If I focus down, things get done so much faster. I think I'd be happier with just five or six: Hand quilting project, hand applique or piecing or EPP (something portable), machine piecing (2 - one being a leader/ender), planning and cutting for the next thing.Karla (ThreadBndr)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15069952972112949772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-8884408636387424652017-10-08T12:21:31.503-04:002017-10-08T12:21:31.503-04:00So right Bonnie!

En Provence is languishing waiting for a binding... it was the decision part! Finally decided a neutral binding to continue the floating stars around the edge... and yes, getter done before the next mystery!!! LOL no rimw to organize LE, up to my eyebrows in soup cozies for Christmas gifts for my guild and other family members... and i'm "antsy" to do some cutting to organize that... sigh... you are so right about "bored" -- my boys quickly learned about scrubbing toilets and vacuuming and were never "bored" again... smiles, hugs and blessing... thank you again, for being you and sharing with the rest of us...xo xo CatsCatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774624426854602053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-3861765541560306392017-10-06T23:17:08.448-04:002017-10-06T23:17:08.448-04:00I got in for the last 20 minutes of live Quiltcam,...I got in for the last 20 minutes of live Quiltcam, and watched it in entirety this afternoon on Utube. I could not get any sound when I first went to the live version, I checked the sound in bottom right it was 100% and in the video it was all the way up. I am not sure what issue I had going on, but was just about ready to shut it down and like a flipped a switch and the sound started. I thought at first maybe it was my computer, but from your post sounds like someone else had problems too. I was great all the way through the utube version. I finished my binding tonight on En Provence and it is now on my bed! Yeah, in time for the next mystery. But I am trying to decide if I should work on a UFO and finish one before staring next mystery. I have two UFO left plus 2 Dear Janes that I have to complete blocks for it. I have finished the rest of them in the last 2 years. I am making progress. I still want to make a quilt for my son, which I have not started yet. Thanks again Bonnie and have great trip to China and enjoy!Dalinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15085706960553628560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-75207593631898862222017-10-06T11:30:26.892-04:002017-10-06T11:30:26.892-04:00I'm never bored!

Then it is off to work on the new quilt and the UFO is still unfinished! I think there is a reason that UFO's don't get finished. Just wish I knew what the reason is.Lilac Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06066118671618968939noreply@blogger.com
