I have many projects going as well. But....my sister recently bought a huge kit called Vintage Tin. It has embroidery and patchwork. She wants to make it for her husband, and she has yet to start.

You see this as a problem? To me that's perfectly normal around here. While we're not redoing our kitchen, I had 2 consecutive years with surgery that slowed me down; but now I'm starting to make a come back. I must have a gazillion UFO's that I should work on, as well as a dozen or more things I want to me for our DGD Zoe, her birthday is May 18, so I should get going on those; and what am I doing now - working on a BOM from 2006 for which I have no plans. I do hope you have a good and swift recovery from surgery, I know it's no fun; but you need to get better so you can quilt. Best of luck to you.

I'm a beginner of about a year, I still have the very 1st blocks I ever made for my sons quilt, I have the sashing & boarder for it but those are not cut. But I've done 4 baby quilts (not real good) and a pillow case and now a friend wants me to make another baby quilt this one she wants to buy so again son's quilt gets set aside so hopefully I can make a few dollars for my Janome 6600 savings fund. MAYBE then I can get back to my sons quilt. Then it's on the making one for the other 5 kids. So I'm a beginner that's already behind

Yesterday was my 78th birthday. Guess what I gave myself as a present? Material for making 3 more quilts when I have a sewing room filled with patterns and fabrics for making dozens of quilts. At least, I am only behind on quilting 3 quilts on my DSM. I need to live to be 100 to make all the quilts I have planned and I only started quilting 3 years ago. I'd say I am super addicted; but it is so much fun.

Hexies are fun!

I've read it before, but it appears as if the blocks in that book are the same size as the Farmers Wife blocks, so I made the first block this morning before work. So, here I am at work now and for the first time, hexies have caught my interest - no idea why, but I've been sitting here cutting out hexi papers and can't wait to get home and give it a try. I'm all over the place right now. I try hard to complete projects, so am hoping this latest obsession doesn't send me right over the edge.

Yes, it is normal for me too.
