I feel like you just told the story of my life! :) I also have a tendency to work on something in stages and allow it to sit in a box for a while until I can face the next stage. I once had a quilted quilt sit on my sewing table FOR A YEAR because I couldn't face binding it... which, once I forced myself to do it, took an hour. :/ I just went to a retreat/class with a designer whose work I LOVE, but are very intense. I love the progress I made, but I recognize that I need a break. I also have boxes of things that were just stuff into them, and I periodically attempt to go through them and figure out something to do (often, it's putting everything back in the boxes and walking away...). I'm always happy when you put out a new video. You are so relatable.
3:00 You know, I think sometimes we are so caught up in finishing a project, we fail to enjoy the process. Pinning to ensure accuracy is sometimes part of the process. I really like that pattern, fiddly as it is.
I feel your pain. I have 2 finished tops rolled on pool noodles waiting to be finished for 2 years. I have everything to finish but ....... I will make it happen this year!
Loved your review of 2023. I'm like you I'm all enthusiastic to start a project and then when I get to a bit that I think might be difficult it goes in a box. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a pile of UFO's that only need quilting. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the rest of 2024.
Lots of UFO's but am concentrating on doing 3 at a time as I have 3 sewing machines. I just go from one to the other, enjoy each pattern, and don't worry about it. All of my UFO's will eventually get done. I am doing your BOM now and enjoying this but I am not calling this a UFO!😃🥰
Health problems are a bummer. 2024 will be my year for said issues. I’m slowly on the mend and can sew again which is great cuz it’s my therapy. Love your xmas quilt with the messy red backing. I’m interested in trying that kind of backing, guess you just have to accept the mess and clean up later. And I love both scrappy and striped bindings. 👍🏻💕
I like your keen sense of color
Thanks for sharing your 2023 year with us.
Very pretty quilts! Cleaver designs very artsy modern. So much can be done with jyst solids. I just don't have the imagination to do them. You do🤩

14:04 Haha! Tidying… hidy-ing! I so relate!
Thanks for sharing

Enjoyed your Quilt Review.

28:30 You are justifiably proud of your Christmas quilt.
That was a favorite of mine, too! It was simple but beautifully pieced and finished (even with all the red fuzz it generated).
I love your work! Keep going, I have trouble with my eyes also, I usually stitch before noon. Stitching is my therapy!

Love your videos.
Yes know how you fell about the UFO'S have five sitting in a cupboard with not much to do to finish them. Always something new to start🤪Desley🇦🇺
Missed you 😢
I feel less bad about the quilt sandwich sitting for 18 months that just needs two hours of quilting 😅 to make it ready for binding and gifting 😂
I don't like that much fidelity bits in quilts either. Just not my thing
