I usually have a couple quilting things going on, at different stages for both. Plus, I sometimes have cross-stitch and crocheting projects going on too. Whatever calls me to work on it, is what I do. (And sometimes, my Kindle calls to me and I read!)

I usually have several I am going through my stash looking for the fabric, about 4 quilts cut out and I am piecing, at least two or three to bind and now I have about ten to long arm. Oh, I have maybe 10 sets of blocks that I've bought at flea markets that are vintage and I'm thinking of how I will make them into quilts. I find it very stimulating to be doing all this, and Yes, I finish all I start.

I always seem to have 3 - 10 projects going on at once. Right now I'm getting ready for the Strawberry Festival June 25th back at my old church in Litchfield, NH, so I've got several things I'm working on: microwave potato bags, zippered pouches, placemats, table runners, some wall hangings and a few baby quilts. I get tired of making one thing, so I go to another, to another, etc, etc. I've got several of the very large Zip-Lock bags full of UFO's, but the pile of finished items is slowly growing. "Besides all that, I started two Craftsy BOM projects last year, one by Jinny Beyer and the 2016 BOM by Kinberly Einmo and of course I started the BOM with Lynnette Jensen. I'm doing so great on those I haven't finished one block; however, I do have almost all the fabrics to start them, including the kit for Jinny Beyer's BOM. I seldom buy the kits, but the price came now to nearly half so I couldn't pass up a bargain like that, plus I had just gotten a little "mad" money in my pocket. I'm making some progress though.

I guess I'm in good company because I always have more than one going at a time. Right now I have a handwork project, my current one is an english paper piecing with embroidery also. I also just finished one for my mom and just as I got the last stitches in the label I started pulling out the next one I've been planning for. Then there's the one on the back burner that is all applique...it was started by someone else and I'm having trouble sticking to working on it...not my vision exactly but it's going to be a nice quilt if I ever get it finished. Oh and I'm making little stuffed bunnies for Easter. Not exactly a quilted project but very cute!
