I know EXACTLY how you feel!!! My DH and I made reservations in late June to go to see our kids and grandkids in CA in Nov. (next week!!). I wanted to make quilt projects for all of them (6 or 7 in all) so I thought I'd have a lot of time, right??? I started thinking about what I wanted to do for each of them, then I had to get fabric. I wasn't sure what to start with so I started with the most time consuming projects first and got those finished. Then the easier ones were, well, easy and quick. I actually had all of them finished by the first part of Oct. and I mailed them out last week. WHEW!!
