I am so guilty, I admit to my shameful behavior. I have started more quilts! My UFO's/WIP's have grown in the last several months. I think it is due to the fact that I love to surf the wonderful quilting blogs out there and I see so many wonderful quilts with amazing colors and styles both simple and fun as well as complicated and artistic. I have purchased fabric just for such quilts. I have started at least one block and cut for as many blocks that I think the finished quilt should need to be a good size quilt. Some I have made more blocks just to make a couple of quilts bigger, I so want to make bigger quilts. The benefit to making bigger quilts is that I will keep my stash from getting too big, it is considerable at the moment. However, I have made progress with several quilts from my list of UFO's that I want to either finish or almost finish. I also have been trying to contribute to the needs of those who have been devastated by natures fury. As much as I have started I have yet to get started on the two color challenge quilt that is due in September, I do have the fabric and I'm pretty set on a pattern I just need to really get going. In my surfing I do encounter a few fellow quilters out there who also have a growing list of UFO's so I know that I am not alone. I need a few sewing dates and late night sew sessions to give myself time to make progress. Part of me wants to take myself to a hotel for a weekend of non-stop sewing with no interruptions from family needing dinner or clean clothes etc. etc. Maybe when the summer starts and I won't have to get up early for school and stuff like that I will be able to plan a couple of days to do just that. In the meantime if I don't get called to substitute tomorrow I will make an easy dinner in the crock pot do two loads of morning laundry and then just sit and stitch the day away. Happy stitching to me!!!
haha, too funny :) I've been trying to resist (not very sucessfully) begining new projects. Like you said inspiration is everywhere, and it makes my WIP pile look kind of unattractive. At least I know I'm in good company :) I hope you had the stitching day you were hoping for.
