Now Grandma is hinting about a lap quilt for her.
I've only been back for a month and i have finished the kids' quilts (they helped) and started 4 more I have also developed a folder of some amazing treasures i have found here that are screaming to be made.
As quilter's do we ever get caught up?
I love your avatar, it is so true but then no one is perfect.
Don't get stressed out about the number and how fast .you have to get them done. Enjoy the creative journey and grow new skills with each one. That is what makes the quilting journey so wonderful and fullfilling. It will give you pleasure all your life. Good luck and Merry Christmas. ( I have 6 children and 17 grandchildren and 1 Great grandchild and they all have quilts, one at a time.)
