I have been called out on that expression so many times and half the time can hardly explain it. And here you are, in the first line of your post... Is it a British expression? Has it come out in me through a recessive gene (my family is from England and Scotland and only in the last hundred years so pretty recent by historical standards).<br />Curious in CanadaJillaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533504920962855079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-88050508649277240952011-07-31T05:40:57.313+01:002011-07-31T05:40:57.313+01:00Well they're all gorgeous, girl, I think diffe...Well they're all gorgeous, girl, I think different patterns would look lovely with all the same fabrics, but I'm also a big fan of order - I would probably do them the same.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-64974088939659876632011-07-30T03:53:36.892+01:002011-07-30T03:53:36.892+01:008 is a fairly small number, you amateur! There ar...8 is a fairly small number, you amateur! There are a few ways to get through them:<br /><br />- finish one before you're allowed to start a new one (I hate this rule, and can never follow it myself, LOL) <br />- do one each month (this is what I'm doing with my last 6 quilt UFO's, so they'll be done by the end of the year)<br />- work for 15 (or 20 or 30) minutes a day on one project - it won't take long to get finished at that rate - after you do your "must do" stitching you can do whatever you want (you'll likely find that you'll work longer than your goal time, lol)<br /><br />I'm with Holly - I think the chair cushions would look lovely if you did 4 different ones, as long as they use the same fabrics!Sandra :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16239494415344028806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-85939547575113972082011-07-30T01:40:25.399+01:002011-07-30T01:40:25.399+01:00I'm glad to know I am not alone in having a mu...I'm glad to know I am not alone in having a multitude of projects going at the same time! You can do it! I find that it helps to just do SOMETHING on each one. I usually end up doing more than I planned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-12079263384200095202011-07-29T19:39:28.540+01:002011-07-29T19:39:28.540+01:00Love seeing your WIPs, Wendy.

Much simpler to not sweat if they all turn out exactly the same, and it adds charm in my humble opinion.Holly Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894281054361794558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-27275609698377435282011-07-29T12:16:13.071+01:002011-07-29T12:16:13.071+01:00A nice list of challenges!

I'm sure you can beat eight if you just try a little harder! At least you can still find and count all yours, I tried to count mine, got to 30 and then kept finding more lurking in very strange places. LOL<br />Have fun finishing some of yours!Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662924691039566761noreply@blogger.com
