Absolutely not! For every project that I finish, I have dozens more that I want to do. But that is okay...how horrible it would be to not have anything to look forward to making.
My New Year's resolution is to sew more than I have, and to really have something to show for all of my work this time next year. ;)

Now Grandma is hinting about a lap quilt for her.
I've only been back for a month and i have finished the kids' quilts (they helped) and started 4 more I have also developed a folder of some amazing treasures i have found here that are screaming to be made.
As quilter's do we ever get caught up?

If I could sew 10 hours a day 7 days a week it would probably take the next 10 years just to use up a good portion of my stash and WIP's. To make all the ideas I have written down I need to live to be about 150.
I will always have someone to make quilts for. I have 10 siblings, my mom has 25 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren. That isn't counting spouses of any of the above.
I'm already 7 baby quilts behind. They'll be toddlers soon. My nieces and nephews need to slow down on the baby production.
Who said anything about getting caught up????
One nice thing about quilters - we won't get bored.

I made a post on here and listed all of my un finished projects.

I have to say it has helped to motivate me. I will see the thread through until every project listed is finished......... but since then I have started several "new" projects, and I don't want to turn the QB into the world of my unfinished projects. lol So I made a free tripod webpage. This way some of my FB friends can also help motivate me by allowing me to share with them. I want to work harder to finish so I can share pics with anyone that would like to see them :) Just thought I would share this idea with you :)
