From one extreme to another LOL. I posted sometime back about not being able to start another project until I had finished the current one. Got lots of replies from people who felt the same way and from others who had lots of projects on the go at one time. I decided to vary my quilting by having 2 or 3 projects at different stages to keep up my enjoyment of quilting. Oh I did that okay! Now I have brought an embroidery machine which I am enjoying practising with. I have also been to a workshop on small bag making and now I have so many things I want to do, I am having to pick and choose. I find that I do what I feel like on any particular day, and don't let myself stress about the completion of any one particular project. This is fun, and I am also learning so many new skills.
Thanks for all you advice over the time I have been a member of this board. It has all been invaluable and so much appreciated.
Sue

I think we all have at least one childhood lesson that is deeply ingrained and not serving us well as adults. Good for you finding a way to overcome yours and gain more enjoyment in your daily life. You inspire me to have another go at mine.

Good for you! I'm still like that though. I can only work on one quilt at a time and when it's completely finished, I'll pull out another kit. (fabric and pattern that I've put together)

Maybe I will try it and see if my brain will allow me to work on two at a time. It's never boring so two should have more excitement. We'll see....
