I have been so driven to create this week that my bathroom hamper is about to drown us out. So today I'm going to have to buckle down and get back into the household rhythm. But I couldn't have said it better - crafting is TOTALLY therapeutic, and therapy should be happy and not stressful. Eventually things get done. Right? ::wink:: Thanks for the hand holding with the quilting on this little monster of a quilt. I'm so over it that I would finish it just to get it out of my house lol. Have a great Thursday Kelly!

I just wish I had the personality to do it! Wow, two queen sized quilts, oh my. Your style is so beautiful, I'm sure they are going to be lovely! Thanks so much for stopping by and for sharing. It is so interesting to read about other people's processes! Aloha!

Like you, my craft time is precious, as it feels quite rare between all the mummy and house duties, etc. So I often struggle with what I should do when I do have a little bit of sewing time - and I often feel guilty as I feel like I 'should' finish a project that I have had half finished for ages, rather than start something new! Crazy hey?! But I agree with you, it is better to go with the flow and do what makes your heart happy at the time, that way you are truly going to enjoy the crafty therapy and be recharged to help you keep tackling all the other responsibilities in life. <br />Your quilting on the I spy quilt looks great, despite your struggles. Your on the home stretch now to finishing this WIP at least, yay! ANd in plenty of time before you need to post it - extra bonus points!!

I'm currently working on a couple projects, both with recipients. So far, I haven't made any quilts just for me (or just because), other than small projects. When I finally get an idea about what I want to do, I run with it. I usually try to finish one project before starting the next, but I'm already stressing a bunch about Christmas - two more queen sized quilts need to be done. I'm not worried about the piecing, but I know the quilting is going to take time and if I give them to my quilter (which I'd like to do), I know they likely won't get done before Christmas.<br /><br />The short answer (now that I've bored you with the long answer, haha) is that I tend to finish one thing before going on to the next =P it's just easier that way, in my opinion. Looks great though, just keep truckin' along!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882380438204437297noreply@blogger.com
