I started quilting 2 years ago and have only made 1 king and 2 baby quilts. Now I have so many loved ones I want to make quilts for. I'm 57 and it takes me so long to finish a quilt that I feel at my age I am running out of time and I will never be able to make a quilt for all of them. I am finishing up my son's quilt and still have another daughter I need to start one for, not to mention the 6 grandkids that want one . And my DH, can't forget DH. I have another baby quilt to do and my sister-in-law wants me to make one for her. I love that someone would want something that I have made, I just hope that I can get them all done before I get really old and unable to sew.
Is that silly or what?? LOL
Darling Susan, I started when I was 57 and I'm now 70 and I feel like I have so much left to do. The UFOs keep piling up, the fabric is still piling u, the patterns I want to do are piling up, yatayatayata. It never ends. I've come to the conclusion that I will take each day as it comes and enjoy the moment (and just hope that I "finish" the UFOs before I can't do it anymore. And if I don't, I pray that my children will put them in the hands of someone who can finish the job. :lol: I still have not made one quilt for our bed. I bought the fabric and used it all for something else. And that too goes on, and on, and on.
You're not alone. One thing great is that I can share this with the awesome people on this board. My friends and family think I'm a bit strange.
