Don't we all know how you feel. I really do try to do one project at a time, but I am so eager to get them all done that I just have to see what they look like - I must have about 3-4 quilts started, and now am doing Easter baskets - and this one is taking me ALL DAY. I am getting tired of it- probably won't do it again, but will have to, I have 2 grandsons! Beautiful designs you are doing by the way

Shame on you Raels! I'd never stay up to do some more stitching, haha! When I did hand embroidery there was a saying - "an embroiderer will stay up all night just to do one more stitch"!!! and I think it applies to machine embroiderers too. As for having more than one project on the go at once, I do all crafts and definitely wouldn't know what it was like to do only one thing, - but I can tell you this - my studio would be a whole lot tidier!!! Flowers and hugs.

Oh, Ruthie, the very idea of a tidy sewing studio makes me light-headed! People used to bug me at work about my messy desk, so I put up a sign: "A clean desk is a sign of an empty mind" LOL. Flowers & hugs for you as well. Marji

Hey Marji, I didn't say it would be tidy - just tidier, haha!!! I definitely agree with you about the empty desk saying - that's my excuse anyway! Love, hugs and flowers.

I looked at all the new quilt pictures, Raelene, and I love them. I'm sure the grands will love theirs, are you doing Endangered Species for yourself (I hope, with all that lovely work)? I know what it's like, just one more (stitch, design, quilt block) whatever, then it's 2AM somehow! LOL! Have another cuppa, I'm sure you can stay awake....Hugs, Marji

raels, I can't imagine having only one project going at a time, I get to bored. But there should be a limit to the number I just haven't found it yet. Flowers all around.

What is this "one thing at a time" heresy? It's called "multi-tasking" and it is supposedly what women do best. I know that I have been doing more of it lately to prepare for when the twins get here. Heaven knows I will need the skills then! =]
