I am new at this (relatively) but I found I needed to have different parts going at the same time so that I wouldn't get bored. Right now, I am hand quilting six Christmas runners that I pieced together while I was finishing up a Lone Star and while it was out at the Long Arm Quilter, I began working on the Fall Quilt that had come back from the Long Arm Quilter and needed the binding. Now, I am ironing the material and planning the cutting for a 1930's style quilt. I am not bored and I try to make sure that I have something different to work on each day. Lovin' it. Plus I get to check out the Board here to see what everyone else is doing. Oh, yes, we finally got rain here in Ohio and so this morning I was out on the tractor assisting the DH with the mowing. No boredom in this retirement.
