Hand-quilting a twin-size nine-patch Piecing a full-size civil war quilt Piecing a lap-size diary quilt Slowly piecing a...not sure the size...scrappy crazy quilt Planning a grandmother's flower garden I have all of this going on at the same time!!! I have to be crazy insane...someone stop me! lol |
I agree crazy, but you are not alone!
|
Not crazy ... just in good company!
|
Ditto! Don't know how it happens, but it does!
|

Gee, I can't help any! I would just enable!
I have a King size broken dishes quilt started on my design wall. I have a pinwheel lapquilt in progress. What did I do? I started an Autumn Lap quilt and would like to get it finished by the 15th!. In between this, I made up 2 quick baby quilts, 6 burp cloths, a couple of potato bags. Also bought all the material for a man quilt for my boss for Christmas! Starting next week on this! Yea, I am no help! |
My mother-in-law used to keep 2 or 3 going all the time. that way she didn't get tired of any of them. Wish I had her here now to quilt with me.
|
Well, now I do not feel so bad :lol:
I have a Christmas Throw in progress Trying to learn Applique while using my kids as the beneficiaries of the results (Design in progress) Table Topper waiting for me to finish the FMQ A butterfly quilt waiting for my first attempt of Applique to be finished At least 5 to 6 tops waiting to be FMQ (Nothing bigger than a lap quilt) A couple small bags cut out but not yet started to sew Finally, wanting to get some Mug Rugs done for Christmas Sounds like we work a lot a like in the Quilting world. At least I am enjoying every minute of the craziness that I have caused myself :-D Almost forgot the quilt that I have on a temporary design wall that is folded up at the moment. Need to bring that out to make sure I like the layout of the fabric. |
I guess there are a lot of CRAZY ones on this board. Have fun!!
|
nope, you're not crazy. I have at least 10 in various stages of work. :)
|
Yay! I only have a cheater to finish up, a whole cloth to start and a wall hanging to do by Christmas! Not too shabby (or crazy, right? Right?! RIGHT???!)
|
WE are not crazy, the rest of the world is. That is my story and I will not change it.:)
|

Ahhhh I don't see crazy here. Just something for whatever mood your in at the time. Well okay maybe just a little. :XD:
|
Sounds like darned good fun to me!
|
I guess it just runs in our blood. LOL!!
Christmas quilt that needs to be quilted. Grandson's quilt that needs to be quilted. One I need to finish piecing. Fabric all ready for a fall quilt. One more Christmas tree wall hanging to finish for a friend. |
I used to be one of those people that started one project and worked at it until it was finished. Somehow when I wasn't looking my project list ran to having 4 lap quilts (Christmas gifts) and a baby quilt that needs to be done in the next three weeks. Don't even know how big a lap quilt or baby quilt should be. Well quess we have to just keep pluging along. Good luck all in finishing your lists. BrendaK

Then we are all nuts! I guess we have all joined the club! :)

I'm so glad to know we are all normal.
|
This makes me feel much better. I thought I was just lazy, or procrastinating.
im finishing my avatar block with handquilting. I started a pinwheel tablecloth for my sister, but set it aside. Just finished a series of cathedral window samples, and want to do one more. I have a sampler quilt planned and shopped for, but haven't started. But I want to work the sampler before I start my big Irish quilt. But then, I may do the small Irish quilt first. Hmmm, decisions, decisions. I won't even mention the ones I have in my head. |
I guess we are all in good company! I am proud to be counted among this group! :) :) :)
|
Crazy?: yes.
Alone?: no. I myself am trying to finish five quilts before Christmas...which ain't looking so good. |
That's all????????????? You really need to step up and get some projects going!!!! You're WAAAAAAAY behind some of us!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
|
You are not crazy, with so many projects you don't get bored and I'm sure you have fun being creative with all of your projects
|
Oh I now no longer feel so guilty and overwhelmed....
I have going - Tonga BOM Back To Nature - Just fixing to start around 200 plus Flying Geese - The Cotton Club Civil War Quilt BOM (Just Started) Stitcher's Garden BOM (On our 9th block) 2 Lap Size Rapid Fire Hunter's Star that need quilting Waiting to be started - Horse Applique Wall Hanging "Spring Storm" And then starting in February Vintage Valentine BOM My life is no longer my own........ :-D |

|

|
Oh You are in the wrong place for help here. We are all enablers. We all need help ourselves. I am a fabric addict, myself. I have to touch fabric alot and I think I have more goinig than you do.

After reading all of the above, I can't believe I have always considered myself a "loner" -- Looks as if I'm anything but. I'm in the middle of a very large crowd, it seems.
Nothing more soothing to the soul than just sitting in front of a sewing machine and quietly sewing the afternoon away. But I also jump from project to project. I do eventually finishing most of them, mostly. I do get bored with something I've been working on especially a large quilt and nearly have it finished. But then, I get bored and pick up something new to get enthusiastic over - for a while anyway. However, this habit has given me a huge scrap pile and a fantastic stash. There's good can come of it, girls. LOL |
I always keep 10 - 12 going year round to avoid going crazy with just one
|
My Mother would have said: "Dear, don't you think you should finish one thing before you go on to the next?" That's just the way she thought, and the way she worked. She was a great seamstress, and she quilted (one at a time).
My Great Grandmother, who taught me more about quilting than anyone else, would have said: "You go Girl!" Honestly. She was like that. A simply awesome woman. And I must take after her because there isn't room here for my list of current projects, and never mind the ones piled up in my head! You go Girl! |
I would just call you girls AMBITIOUS!
|
I also have several projects going at the same time. I just alternate my projects each day and work on them.
