Do most of you work on one project at a time, or, like me, several. Do you have trouble getting stuff done that way? |

Me, too. I have many many projects going on. Embroidery, knitting, sewing, scrapbooking etc, etc. I just like to always have things going on, I guess. But I do manage to finish some of them.

Sherri, it's funny you have asked this question! Just last night I said to my DH "I need to make a weekly list on what days to do what"! Kinda like the Sunday-Saturday cute kitchen towels! I have so many projects going on that I run myself tired! Always doing something...just today at the doctors office I made a huge handful of fabric yo-yo's! Wonderful keeping busy, isn't it?!
Hugs,
Maryjane Lee

I have a few projects that I've started and just sitting there. A couple of quilts. An outfit for my daughter (all it needs are buttons and button holes, seems like I always stop at the button holes) and then a few baby blankets and some patterns cut out. I do have trouble finishing them but as I pick up new things to do they do finally get done to make room for the new projects.

Oh I usually have a few going. One cross stitch sampler (not even a bad one) for 10 years now. I must finish it before I go in the old age home! |

Usually 2-3, this is after years of never getting anything done. Right now, I have scrapbooking and a cross stitch going. I do put a timeline on things, it helps me get things done or else it would take me years...LOL
Cheers,

I'm a project kinda girl....multiple projects at a time, that is! I'm writing a book and making two quilts all at the same time. I swear I never get anything finished. I made my first primitive doll this weekend and had a great time so I bet all my focus will shift to the dolls for a while! I'm so flaky!

I usually work on several projects at once but mostly because I get bored with one thing, so I take turns. If it's something that I'm not happy with it takes me a lot longer to finish it tho'.

I've had way too many lately, but I am finishing up a few. I am super busy all of the time and my feet hurt! LOL
Many of my projects are in various stage of completion and I find that I get so many irons in the fire that I sometimes just have to step away for a day and pick one project and see it through to the end, then pick a second project etc.

I always have a few irons in the fire and then some! But, I painted my craft room this week and I have had to take a break. I cannot wait to get back in there and start finishing up all of the things I have in progress. :)

I have my hexagon scarf from MJ's book, learning to tat, several of the jackets I make to sell, always a crocheted hat in the works, a x-stitch Xmas stocking from a couple of years ago, and cutting blocks out for the baby quilts I sell. Plus, I just bought $80 worth of cotton yarn for the kid's hats and it's staring me in the face!! |

Okay. I have two baby blankets going; a cross stiched bib: a little doll I'm sewing; and I'm reading three books at one time. I'm not as good as Sunshine...but I do admire her! Susan |

I work on at least 3-5 needle projects (hand embroidery, quilting, sewing, etc.) at any given time. Right now I have 4 quilt tops that need put together and ready for the frame by fall ;o)
Oh My!
