That said, it's getting cold here so I'm inspired to pull several out and wrap them up! Then wrap up in them! ;-) I love the colors in your fabric too!Christine @ 12,450miles https://www.blogger.com/profile/06593782429987800305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-44248192170097224802015-10-15T12:30:27.295-04:002015-10-15T12:30:27.295-04:00I have a good stack of UFO's but I am okay wit...I have a good stack of UFO's but I am okay with that for right now.

For me, I make a list of UFOs only once a year. It helps me stay focused on the projects that have been hanging around for FAR too long... and decide if they're really worth the time anymore. I've also being finding A Lovely Year of Finishes to be very motivating in getting UFOs off my list and into Finish posts!Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657846734631422153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-29527407109485707822015-10-14T13:14:40.292-04:002015-10-14T13:14:40.292-04:00I try to juggle a bazillion projects at once altho...I try to juggle a bazillion projects at once although some get cast aside while I focus on a few.

I get bored too easily if a project goes on for too long, which make it's totally ironic that I even quilt at all. I do have an actual sewing room, so I don't have to pack things away, but am able to keep my WIP's where I can see them. Once they are packed away they are gone. When I keep seeing them, then I eventually come back to them.<br /><br />Sounds like a really interesting workshop. I've tried a little improv, but am never too pleased with the results... (note to self and statement of the obvious: I guess that is why workshops are helpful!)<br /><br />This looks super fun and it will be interesting to see further progress on it!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12890339482076523219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-61526355878053350762015-10-13T22:37:22.125-04:002015-10-13T22:37:22.125-04:00I keep a "healthy" running list ... more...I keep a "healthy" running list ... more like overwhelming list of UFO's that tend to occupy lots of brain space.

I have three projects going right now--not typical for me, but it works when they are in different stages. I have one machine quilting project, one planning/piecing and one hand quilting. A few weeks ago, I was a bit overwhelmed with three projects (one is done now) because they had the potential to all be at the machine quilting stage at once. Definitely not comfortable for me.

I get tired of looking at the same thing over and over for long periods, so i hope over to another one. When i tire, I rest. Then..back to it. If I need a real break, I take one, like tomorrow the hubby and I are going camping hiking and and kayaking for a few days. Then I will get back to what I love.Kbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990308483281515115noreply@blogger.com
