This year it's Jinny Beyer's "Moonglow". I take my time with the annual "major" project and enjoy the process and the learning experience. In addition, I do quick projects like small wall hangings, table runners, pillows, totes etc. (again, one going at a time as the mood strikes me). This approach allows me to enjoy my other hobbies without feeling "overwhelmed" or pressured by WIPs or UFOs.
This resonates within my soul. I can't wait to get some of my UFO's done as well. And, I see a little more self control in my future on starting new projects.
