i hate hand work but usually have a small hand project going on on the side. When I finish a project I always have a charity quilt going. Usually my charity quilts are an easier design than my other projects. I don't always have a home for my charity projects. Something always comes along for it. I also usually have some sort of a quilt of valor going too. That way if my current project hits a snag and I can't stand to think about it I can take a break.
