The Overachiever?

 Hi Friends

Hope you are all doing well.  I am keeping myself busy.  I have my guild retreat this weekend and I can't wait!  I have 3 quilts cut out to work on and a couple more to finish up. Our guild ran a challenge this year.  We were to list 10 items on our WIPs (works in progress) list.  Each month they would pick a number and that is what you would work on to finish for the month. As this headline reads, I was an overachiever this year so far.  Here is my list:

The first number they picked was 1 for January.  That quilt was the John Wayne quilt.  I had just sent it to the long armer to be finished. What I decided to do was gather all my WIPs and put them in a basket.  If I wanted to sew, I had to work from that basket. Most of these items listed were in the basket.  I had a snowy weekend and decided to tackle these projects. I even added a number 11 to the list.  My daughter in love's friend is having a baby and I made a baby quilt for her. There are only 4 items left on the list. #3 is a Nautical quilt that I think I want to put borders on.  I have the backing so I need to finish this.  #4 is the Floral Bouquet quilt that is a retirement gift for a friend someday.  I just need to bind and label this. #7 and #8 are two quilts that I have cut out and plan to piece during retreat.  I also have a quilt cut out for another friend that is retiring soon.  I think I need to start a new list.  There are quilts I would like to make.  As far as finishing items, I sure don't have many in my stash to finish.

I would like to make a few scrap quilts to have on hand for gifts.  I also have a cow quilt I would like to put together as I have all of the fabrics and patterns.  I am also going to make a sampler quilt.  Lori Holt did a red sampler and I am not a big fan of the color red. I decided to do mine in blue.  I have most of the fabric and all of the books she worked out of.  I hope to start that later this summer when it's too hot to be outside. Other than that, I don't have anything on the docket to make.  It is nice but also very weird.  I usually have 4 or 5 projects going at once.  It is so nice to finish things though.  I may have just turned over a new leaf!

I am going to print out a new list and see what I can add to it.  Do you have multiple projects going all at once?  Or do you finish what you start?

Blessings,
