  2. Wow, you’ve had an amazing year of finishes! You should easily have your PhD (didn’t you get one last year too?) You did well on finding time to stitch too. I need to figure out how to get more finishes. Maybe I’m working on too many projects at a time and I need to just concentrate on one, with a leader and ender? Something to consider for next year.

    • Hi Kate,
      Yes, I did get my PHD in 2018!
      I am usually working on at least 3 projects at a time … one on the machine I quilt on and 2 for piecing. On the piecing side, there is the main project and the leader & ender. Occasionally, I will have 3 piecing projects going – but not very often.
      Happy Quilting! 🙂

    • Hi Terry!
      I know … And, I don’t think he even knows that I was keeping his tab separate. However, I’ve not ventured into fabric stores and he’s not about to go shopping on his own! 🙂
      Happy Quilting! 🙂
