Quilter's Reflection June 2023

 

  Today I was trying to figure out how many projects I have started or currently working on / partly started. During the school year I don’t have much time for my crafting hobbies – so I put most of it on hold for slow weekends or for break times. I didn’t realize how they were piling up. Here I am supposed to take it easy during summer, then I think about all the projects I need to finish. There is no way I’ll get them all done this summer. I guess- they will just get done – when they get done. 

  I could definitely not go into business doing this stuff. My attention span – just can’t handle one project at a time – I get bored and have to hop to the next project, or I get afraid that I will forget this super awesome idea – and must get started right away! Maybe I have a problem? lol.

 

Here is a list of my current projects, incomplete projects and projects on hold:

1. Michelle’s Bear Claw Quilt

2. Star Scrappy Quilt

3. Diamonds are forever Scrappy Quilt

4. Kirstin’s T-shirt Quilt

5. Gray Fall Quilt

6. Skull Quilt

7. 365 Quilt Challenge

8. i-Spy Quilt

9. Chair / Box Make-over

10. Mom’s Painting

11. Make my own soap

12. Epoxy Experiment making coasters

13. 9-Patch

14. Ladder Quilt

15. Nicole's Quilt

16. Color‘s of the Rainbow Quilt

17. Hunter’s Star Quilt

18. Star Blocks Quilt

19. Hexies & Hexie Pin cushion 

  In the quilting world unfinished projects are called UFO’s (Unfinished Objects). I obviously have a bunch of those – and really need to get a few off my list. Let’s not count all those other projects that I’m saving on my Pinterest board titled; “Weekend Projects”. I already scheduled one day a month (1st Saturday) for my unfinished quilt blocks. Maybe, typing them up in this blog and adding them to my to-do list might help? How are you doing with your projects? Do you have a way of staying on task and getting them done? Do you get bored easily with repetitive patterns and have to move to something else? Do you maybe overthink things like I do and just set them aside for later? Let me know in the comments, I would love to hear from you.
