Hmmm...You've made some valid thoughtful points.I prefer to think I'm still on the road. I do have a hard time acknowledging my limitations. Time is a constraint, as is interest, not in quilting, but in specific projects. I have several panels that I fell in love with, and wanted to do, but now, not so much. Summer is so tough for me to get any quilting done. With a cabin remodel in the works, home, yard work, garden and helping with my grandson's summertime care, quilting is put on the back burner. I have two quilts I'm working on. I have at least a dozen more ready to go, as in idea, pattern, and fabric.
I have always been the go to person that forges ahead and does what needs to be done, or handles the current crisis, be it for family, friend, or committee obligations. Family and home responsibilities come first, and I eek out time for myself as needed. I'll be watching to see how everyone else balances this crazy juggling act called life!
