Too much quilting?
I have too much quilting to do at the moment!!!! I am here decorating,
studying French and oh yeah, we have a quilt exhibition in about 5 weeks - for which I have 2 wallhangings & 2 quilts to enter. 1 wall hanging almost finished, 1 wall hanging not yet started! 1 quilt top finished, needs tacking and then quilting and 1 quilt top to finish with DD (her 1st proper quilt & exhibition), and hopefully quilt this as well! I need a 48 hour day and a14 day week, to get me through all this ))) Does anyone else ever take on too much? Oh yes, school want me to help out with a fundraiser as well....... Better go and carry on... Byeeeeee and oh yes, this is why I haven't popped in lately ) -- Janner "Quite often lately I have the feeling I don't know what's going on..." --- Snoopy!

Does anyone else ever take on too much, she says. Ha! I'd like a show of
hands please, of anyone on this group who does NOT take on too much! LOL Every quilter I know is overworked and way underpaid.

Janner,
Oh yes, I often take on too much. ...but, I think I must work best under pressure. I belong to six local faiber groups -- three local quilt guilds, one art quilt group, a Thursday Morning Crafts group that I started in 1990 & Nellys Needlers of Woodlawn Plantation ( near Mt. Vernon,VA). I do different styles for each of these groups. Our northern Virgnia art quilt group http://www.quiltaholic.com/quiltartists/ is having an exhibit at the BlackRock Center for the Arts at this time & we just were curated into the Glenview Manor in Rockville, MD. I have piece hanging in each of these exhibits. Our group has also been accepted for three other gallery exhibits in 2004-2005. I definitely need to get some new work/pieces finished to put in these exhibits. We also have a few challenges going throughout the group. You can see on the web site where all the exhibit locations are. I'm also exchanging blocks in our Thursday morning craft group, handing out muslin squares & crazy quilt fabrics to the members of Nellys Needlers for our next raffle quilt, and am also on the QuiltArt chat list & am involved in about six of the challenges and exchanges there. You can see on the following web site of quiltart, some of the challenges that I've done. I am singed up for a lot of the other challenges. http://www.quiltart.com/ As soon as I get off the computer this morning, it's off to the sewing room to get some work finished. I'm doing a Fiber Trading Cards swap and "Altered Playing Card" swap, the "pink challenge", etc.... Yesterday, I went into the city ( Washington DC ) and visited the new World War II Memorial. I took a lot of digital photos ( and also have a lot of the photos left on their from a trip to a botonical garden, where our art quilt group met and either sketched or took photos of possible things to use as designs in our quilts. I have to do a piece, that I took a digital photo of at the Green Springs Garden Park in northern Virginia. I can't wait to plan this quilt. I love designing floral quilts. I'll keep you all posted.

I did the program for our quilt show a couple of years. Many years women
would enter quilts that weren't done yet and work like mad to make it. That's a lot of stress. You are still 5 weeks out. Why not just tell them you are entering fewer and spend the time working on those quilts without stress? Been there, done that. -- LN in NH a crazy quilter * hand quilter * & hand appliquér all in all --- a very slow quilter....

Kris, can't wait to see how the crazy quilt comes out! Make sure you share
pics with me when you get some. I haven't done ANYTHING quilty since September when I split with my x. Not that I was depressed, just extremely busy/stressed since then with finding, then starting a new job and moving. Things are settling down now, but I can't seem to jumpstart back into my quilting mood. Maybe seeing everyone's stuff will help. -- LN in NH a crazy quilter * hand quilter * & hand appliquér all in all --- a very slow quilter....

So, if any of you have any quilts lying around, you know where to send them. -- LN in NH where it can even get chilly in the summer (snail avail upon request) "Kathy Applebaum" wrote in message . com...
