Sometimes I do (like now, I have two projects waiting - patterns chosen, fabrics bought -...it's harder on me than them...I really want to start my next one, but won't until I'm finished the current), sometimes I don't and will spend a few weeks reading or crocheting instead of sewing. I don't sew stuff for the sake of sewing stuff, and while I'm really in quilt mode right now, the projects I have going on have a purpose.
