Today’s SBQ was suggested by me<\/em><\/strong> and is:<\/p>\n

\nDo you do obligation or deadline-based stitching? Why or why not? If you do, do you tend to get in over your head and why?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hahahah! Can you tell where my head was when I suggested this to Renee a week or so ago? \ud83d\ude06 <\/p>\n

I do regularly seem to commit myself to stitching on a deadline, whether it is a model assignment, exchange piece, gift or charity stitching. I just finished my square for Laura’s quilt, just barely under the deadline, and now I have a model to stitch, two exchange projects with May mailing dates, my own RR piece to get ready to fly in June and a July exchange project. That doesn’t include my self-imposed deadlines, which I’ve been missing all over the place lately. <\/p>\n

I’ll also have some upcoming commitments around additional 9\/11 quilts which are being coordinated by the same woman who did the World Trade Center quilt for which I stitched two panels. This includes a design that I need to chart out, repeat and modify that I will then probably stitch myself. I seem to be getting myself into a good bit of volunteer design customization lately, as well.<\/p>\n

So, do I tend to get over my head? Um… yeah. That would be a understatement. This is probably why I tend to get burned out on stitching at least once per year. I commit to far too much stitching for other people and I never seem to accomplish much for myself. I used to be content with this, but with the amount I’ve been stitching over the last couple of years, to not have much to show for it that I’ve kept for myself is just becoming unreasonable.<\/p>\n

Don’t get me wrong. I love stitching for other people and projects, BUT it would be awfully nice to actually complete something for me every once in a while. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
