although I work on multiple projects at the same time I am very organized- there is no 'chaos' in my sewing room- I have very few UFO's (since those are usually the ones we put away and may never finish- I have many WiP's (works in progress. so, i'm not a 'crazy ufo collecting person' I often suddenly find I have 4 or 5 quilt tops done in one weekend- because they reach a point where everything comes together- then I may spend the next week or so getting them quilted- so other projects may be left for a few days/week but they are still organized, ready- not sent to the closet with the ufo's that may never get finished. ( I will admit I do have one of those- it is 10 years old now) but other than that project I keep working on the on-going ones- no chaos involved.

I have spent all day quilting - it's been ecstasy! I stopped long enough to talk to my mom for a while (and even then, I did a little piecing and ironing while we talked), to go to the LQS to pick up two half yards and some thread, and to grab some lunch and eat it (I read and might have posted here during that period LOL). I'd keep going too, but for the fact I'm due to meet my husband at a friend's house for dinner tonight. It's rare I have these types of days, but I wish I had more of them - with the men out of the house, I've been able to do exactly what I want to do without feeling guilty!

I used to have these days when my kids were younger and went to their dad's house every other weekend, and I was single. Just spending time in the studio with no other plans ... I really have to start scheduling a few of these every so often; I forgot how much I enjoy it. :-)

Right now I have one ready to quilt, two ready to be pinned then quilted, 2 that need the backs pieced, then pinned and quilted. I belong to a doll club (American Girl) and I spend the week after we meet making doll clothes to have something ready to show at the next meeting. I'm doing a quilt where I get the instructions in a magazine every two months -- when the magazine comes I spend the next couple of days making those blocks and then am ready for the next installment of the magazine. In between times I piece any quilt I want to work on. Each project progresses each month and I keep my interest in all the projects. Even though I'm retired I don't always get to sew -- the last two weeks have been spent taking care of my Mom who needed some attention due to medical issues. I should be able to get back to my fun stuff this week.

I took a 4 week class on MINI quilts, each class was 4 hours long. By the end of the class I was about bonkers. Like most of you I am doing many things at the same time. To sit for 4 hours and work on one project and listen to all the hoopla and being told by a young girl I would do better if is slowed down when I was sewing. Just was more than I can handle. When I got home I made the same Mini in 35 minutes and started diner and fed the dogs.

I'm going to say I work on 1 project at a time. In the beginning, I would have 3-4 thing's going at once. Got too many projects going at once. So now, i work on just a quilt. I get thing's cut out, and eventually pins thing, and sew the pinned pieces, and cut the pieces to the size I need. And then sew the pieces in to a block.
