I finished the sweet peas

which is actually one of 12 of the different flowers in a coaster set I have been working on for a good bit of time. I work on the set a little, then get lost onto another project. Do you find yourself doing this?

This is a work in progress that I am hoping to finish in a couple of days.
How about you?
Do you find yourself in the middle of a project and yet still have other works in progress?
No matter how much time I know I have, I always wind up doing this...........the reason...........
I really don't know why.................I don't get bored stitching the same thing......................
What do you think?

Absolutely know what you mean! As a quilter I'm always thinking about the next project. I think it's because we love what we do. Your sweet peas look beautiful!

So pretty! I don't usually start something new until I finish the first thing. Once in awhile I have two things going at once. But I always feel like I have to hurry and get one of them done. I guess it's part OCD.:)

So pretty, Kathleen!

Yes, actually I, too, find my self in the middle of quite a few projects lately in writing. I'm trying to get back to writing my second novella, but the other day I was reformatting some children's stories I've written. That's what happens when one has so many ideas.

Wishing you a very joyful week,

Such sweet Sweet Peas. Don't you think that is just your creative mind working, we always want to be stimulated by a new project or a returning one. Your butterfly is going to be beautiful.

Both those projects are so pretty but my favorite of the two is the butterfly. Maybe it's just because I am 'into' butterflies at the moment but it sure is gonna be gorgeous when finished.

I do that with quilting...that's why I never seem to completely finish anything! The only quilts I have finished were baby quilts, two quilts of a kid-size for our grandson, and a lap throw for my Dad's 80th birthday. I have lots of starts and unfinished projects!!!!!
