Congratulations!! How many grandchildren does this make for you?
When I get my sewing back out of the boxes I stored 'the mess' in before the holidays, I will still have the three major projects.
1) My oldest grandson graduates in June. I am making a sampler quilt for each grandchild, to be given at their graduations. When I stated I made four of each block. Now I have 6 grandchildren. Got some work cut out for myself, but the priority will be to finish one.
2) I am one of 8 siblings. Our parents died almost 25 years ago. We have had an annual family reunion since then. Many years ago one of my sisters made a memory quilt with a block for each year's reunion. This coming summer will be our 25th. She has turned the next quilt project - honoring these 25 yrs. - over to me (maybe I offered). I was surprised to find most of the same fabric is still available. Deadline for this is also June.
3) Least priority, but the one I'd like to finish first is the '50 States' quilt. This is the quilt that brought me to Bella. I will keep working regularly on this one, but the others have got to come first.
I tell myself I am making great strides, then I realize I am not very fast. I hope that regular progress is as good as fast progress. I have always been able to work under pressure, so I am sure I'll make each deadline.
