This has been a wonderful thread. We all seem to share four major concerns:
1. using up the stash
2. finishing WIP's
3. resisting the lure of new projects when you have a bunch of WIP's in hand
4. becoming better quilters/learning a new skill (esp. quilting your own quilts)

Although I have wayyy too much fabric, I love to buy new fabrics that strike me as spectacular. That really feeds my creative juices and is a pretty harmless "fix"!

Although I have wayyy too many WIP's, I love to start new projects, in particular if they teach me a new skill. That really feeds the creative spirit as well.

I am reasonably organized...it was a lot easier after I put all my stash onto comic book boards...but my goal for 2022 is to experience Marie Kondo levels of joy *whenever* I am up in my quilt studio, my Creation Station. I do not go up there to beat myself up for mess, for lack of skill, for spending too much on that 5 yards of Marimekko, or to fight with sub-par tools.

I go up there to have a wonderful, creative experience. I have a poster hung over the cutting table "This Is Where the Magic Happens"...may 2022 hold much magic for you all.
