My friends call me a prolific quilter. I don't do any handsewing because of arthritis in my hands, so everything is done by machine, even the quilting. I have a longarm, so I can see the entire project through, and really call it "My own". I am a perfectionist, but also a realist. You can't always get a "perfect point" or a "matching seam", but no one is going to notice it if I don't point it out to them. I can't stand UFOs, so I try to complete a project once I get it started, and when it is finished, I am excited to get on to the next one. I make a lot of charity quilts, and try to have several on hand in case there is some tragedy like a tornado or hurricane. I don't do terribly difficult designs, but I like to stretch myself past my comfort zone. I find quilting so much fun, I can't wait to see what I can accomplish next. So I really don't consider it "being in a hurry" to make one quilt after another.
