Either way, Darlene, it's a lose/lose situation for me so the best advice I can give you is to just do them when you can or when the mood strikes.<br /><br />Just remember, you are not alone, my friend. *wink*Kaarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378359214056797658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-29168769122047847872011-08-18T09:29:48.788-07:002011-08-18T09:29:48.788-07:00You are doing great.

I got stuck on one and still haven't gone back to it.<br /><br />This summer my LQS was doing a block a week for 12 weeks. I decided to do it so I could prove to myself that I could do it. Guess what happened? The LQS decided to close up shop! They are letting us get the final blocks but heck, this was supposed to be my triumphant completion.Kigwithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13711904840405732904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-55186606215723387542011-08-17T18:05:54.744-07:002011-08-17T18:05:54.744-07:00I think you're preaching to the choir here, lo...I think you're preaching to the choir here, lol - give it enough time and you'll fall in love with it all over again!

I ordered the 2009 Mystery BOM from the FQS and I did the first block...then I had surgery, then I started 2 monthly BOM's at 2 LQS's AND I had 2 others going. **sigh** Of the 5 BOM's I joined, I have finished 2. One is ready to put together (I'm working on that today), and the 4th one, Thimbleberries, 2008 needs only the final border then of to the longarm quilter for that one. BUT, my beautiful FQS 2009 still sits there. The fabrics are gorgeous, the quilt is the same and as you say, they send enough extra fabric that unless you mess up BIG TIME, you have enough leftovers for a little quilt and probably a table topper or two...or pillow shams. I know I had enough HST's left from the first blog to do another just like it. There it sits. LOL! I have been away from my quilting for almost 18 months now due to health issues and surgeries but I've been setting aside time every single day for sewing for the last week now and things are looking up. I have my carrot out in plain view so that I can see the reward that awaits me when I finish up at least two of my BOMs. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'll do the same for you. Big Hugs...<br /><br />**NOTE...yes I know that leaves 2 BOMs unfinished, but hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do right?Stitched With Prayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223099347614174169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-43887843558355603752011-08-17T11:07:47.294-07:002011-08-17T11:07:47.294-07:00Sew!
