I enjoy working on 2 or 3 projects at once. Any more than that is overwhelming. It's fun to see you giddy with 12 projects in the works 😅! Keep doing what you're doing, Pat. You're an inspiration to us all ❤
Love what’s on your design wall. Life’s too short. I have a bazillion going at any one time too. Sometimes it’s handwork, sometimes machine work…whatever suits me at any one time.
I like that you can keep track and move forward on many projects at the same time. Me, not so much. 😂
This video made me giggle. I have a friend that ALWAYS has multiple quilts under construction at the same time. She does beautiful work including handwork. She also works on very complicated patterns. I tell her, “ I shall take two aspirin ; cheer you on before I go take a nap.” We have been friends forever and this is an ongoing joke. Love all your beautiful projects. You are inspiring!
I’ve made a promise to myself, three quilt tops maxed, then I have to machine stitch them to the finish. I work for me, because machine stitching is a lot of work. Wishing everyone a wonderful 4th of July from Canada. 👍❤️🙂
I'm an overachiever. I have 18 cross stitch projects, 2 crochet, 6 quilting, 2 epp, and 4 genealogy projects going all at the same time. I sometimes feel like I am drowning. I just had surgery on my right wrist and could only design, so I ended up designing almost 20 quilting projects. 😨😱
I’m right there with ya Pat! I have 10 plus projects going right now. I never work on one at a time. I get bored easily😂. My longarm is always going too! My sewing studio is a sweat shop for sure😂
Sweatshop... hahaha!
Every day since you made it, my eyes are drawn to that wonky block. I love it! I would never have seen the possibility of strip blocks in place of a single fabric block like you did. You're great at thinking outside the box!
Good morning and Happy Independence Day in USA.
Hi Pat, I can totally relate to multiple projects! My professional work life was always multitasking. Needless to say it’s a lifestyle. However, I also like to have a systematic order/process 😊
I used to be one project at a time… then something happened 😮 and I started a monthly block and worked on a monthly kit and then there is my 2024 wish focus list.. and I have check list on my table calendar where I note what I worked on - all of this makes me happier than I was before. Helps me see my life as a quilter’s life 👍
that is so wonderful!
I am enjoying your design wall showing a little bit of all your current project. Fun!
I used to manage multiple projects when I was younger, but now that I'm older and retired I just don't have the focus to do that. When I try multiple projects now, I just get overwhelmed. I'm learning I'm better doing one at a time and actually getting things finished. I have way too many UFOs, so I'm trying do those first.
Loved seeing all your projects on the design wall. I know now I am not alone. I have my projects scattered around my room on boards propped up so I can enjoy looking at my projects. I have 3 I am working on.
😆🤪😳 Haha. I could never have multiple projects going at one time. I can’t even think about starting a new quilt until the current one is completely finished including all of the quilting, the sleeve attached, binding and the label. Also must do all of the photos and note taking.
I quilt all of my own quilts. The thought of multiple quilts finishing around the same time would over whelm me with having to quilt three quilts in a row. Then binding three quilts in a row.
Plus I’m sure one of the multiple projects would get a little frustrating and I might just avoid it.
I am impressed with people that enjoy several projects going. Good for all of you… as long as you complete them and not just starting them.😁
nobody says we have to finish things! Lots of starts is totally ok
👋👋 Well Pat, you’ve got me beat by 1. I have 11 projects going 🤪😂😂 Happy 4th, enjoy your long weekend. You are much appreciated.
I had to pack up my six current projects for a few weeks as I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right wrist today. My thumb and first three fingers have been numb for past four weeks making it a huge challenge to finish a binding. Can’t feel the needle! Doctor said if healing goes well I should feel the needle in about six weeks. In the meanwhile I’m reading several different books. Multitasking is my way! Loved seeing all your active projects….fun, fun! Can’t wait to get back to mine. Left wrist surgery October 24, then back to needling full time! Yeah!!
Happy 4th and enjoy the long weekend.
Blessings, Dawn
Central Valley California
I always have more than one project in the works. Keeping track of everything is crazy, but I'm getting better by using a calendar to track projects.
I like working on several at a time. The problem is the finishing. One of the reasons I sew with you is to keep the project moving forward.
Happy 4th of July 🎉 enjoy your weekend ❤🤍💙
That little Halloween banner is just so stinking cute! I love the roar block, the christmas block, and the liberty project too! Omg, u are a busy girl!
Thanks so much! 😊
I work on several cross stitch projects at once, but I’m such a newbie quilter that I am only focusing on one item at a time. I have made one quilt and now I am making a set of 4 placemats. In the future, it would be nice to get a few more projects going at a time.
Enjoyed seeing your projects! Have a happy 4th! 🇺🇸🎆
I love having multiple projects going on! I will try to be brave and go count how many I have! 😅 you always perk up my mornings!
Love seeing all the projects in process at once! Good idea❤️
😂 yes Multiple projects on my design wall also
It looks like a mess But it is my beautiful mess ❤
I try to keep one active project and one or two in planning/concept stage. But thanks to my daughter I now have 2for her in planning with another non-quilt project along with my own one in process, one at binding point, and several QOVs in planning stage. I have panels for about 9 others - some QOVs, some for fun, some National Parks. But pretty much not sewing. Spouse is ill, so being a caretaker is taking up all my time. A-fib is added to his lymphoma.
💜I sympathize with you as my husband is kinda needy now too with relapse/refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma 😒he has radiation damage to his lungs so it’s distracting but my quilt room is my sanctuary and escape hatch 🙏🏼😇
Thanks for the snap shot of your brain. That looks like my work life. Juggling 15 or more things at once. Quilting is my refuge and I don't have a sewing room. Everything has to fit under my bed :). I enjoy working on one project at a time and I can fantasize about it during my work day about how much I will get done each week. I must admit, I have so much waiting in my queue, because I am so slow, that stresses me out :). I still work to a deadline a lot. It seems like I always have to finish by someone's birthday, Father's day or a holiday etc. So it is more difficult to get to the "fun" projects. But I don't think I would be more efficient if I was retired :). I am keeping up with my first QAL (yours and Wendy's xmas all year) and that is my first multi-task quilt project and jumping back and forth is not easy for me.
Ooooh -- fried clams! Haven't had those in so long -- and I do love them. There used to be chain restaurant in the Columbus Ohio area called Lums. They had fried clams -- I would go there regularly just for those! Yummy. Thanks for the memory.
When I was a kid I loved fried clams! We used to go to Sunday dinner at Howard Johnson’s and they were the best! Then I turned 28 and I became allergic to seafood! Wah! Wah!
First ,the clams I love in chowder or baby clams gently cooked in butter! Second I can only focus on one quilt at a time, more and I forget things . I have started more than one but they tend to end up waiting till I complete one. ❤
You're a rock star ! Eleven projects is impressive. I only have 4.current projects and too many to count long forgotten projects.
I’m counting 9 as I’m looking at this video;)
In the past I would work on one project at a time until I finished it but then if I needed more fabric or something for it I would start a new project. I enjoy both ways, working on one until completion if I gave all the supplies and moving from project to project.
I have found though that projects take me longer if I move from one to the other. I tend to get into detail sometimes and second guess my fabric choice, pattern or quilting design and then I put the project aside.
I usually have several projects on my design wall. I love the variety of multiple projects.
Great memories of fried clams at Howard Johnson's with a friend :)
Love you black/white top, Pat.
I am a forever newbie but a while ago,I thought I would make your Home Is quilt with state fabrics.
I usually only do one project at a time because I don’t have space for more. So, I’m jelly of your sewing room with tables and design wall and all the ease.
Very interesting on the fading. I would not have expected that one to fade. Thanks for sharing.
Very much agree with your thoughts about fading fabrics and needing to be overly cautious with them. That 'fear' takes away all the joy we are supposed to be having with our beautiful fabrics. Love all parts of being a quilter except the anxiety of feeling like I should be doing anything in particular. Over the years I have learned to relax and enjoy, because all cotton fabrics will have a 'life'. Cotton fabric is biodegradable. It just will degrade over time, light or no light. Enjoy it now, no worries. Thanks for raising the topic!
Happy 4th to Pat, Gregg, and Sloan Zone Friends!!
Pat, thought you'd like to know that I've seen your "Oh My Stars" pattern in 2 different people's videos this week. One was kitted up to be made at a retreat, and the other was sewn up in a big quilt with gold stars. Fun to see!
I like having several projects on my design wall too, especially when blocks are already ironed. My Christmas in July border strips are pinned up--vertically and horizontally so I don't forget which way they'll go in the quilt. I always have multiple projects going on because I find/start something new before I get the old finished. 🤣 I use your monthly calendar to write quilt names that I'm working on in one corner, and each day that I work on one I put a star beside the name. It's a good reminder and makes me feel good to see the stars.
Happy Independence Day everyone!
I have five that I am currently working on in July. I do have other projects (UFO’s) that I will be picking back up soon. One is the embroidery tree skirt by Sweet Pea a couple of years ago. I would like to use it this Christmas.
GM. Currently have 4 active projects & 1 ready to start on Monday. Reviewing & writing in my quilting journal daily, keeps me on point. ❤ Be safe, Enjoy your 4th of July!
Fried clams are either whole belly or clam strips. From a CT quilter
Yes. I do the same thing with my fabric. I try not to waste any!
Hi Pat. I like fried clams also. I can work on two projects sometimes three, but I think that it would be to much for me if i had more going. Happy 4th of July. Hope you guys have a safe one.
💕🇺🇸Have a safe and happy Fourth of July everyone‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻
Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸
Power to all quilters like us with multiple projects! The Kitty Xmas Star of Wonder is #4 WIP (baby quilts are multiplying) 😊
LOVE fried clams - getting difficult to find at the grocery store. Have 14 UFOs of various crafts. Down from 26. Two closing in on done. Does not count charity knitting of quulting.
I have found I love sewing the quilt blocks, so I have several BOM and other sew alongs going. I have to work at putting the quilt blocks together. And thank you Pat for sharing how you assemble quilts together as you go, a lesson I learned from you hand I am trying to implement that method. I enjoyed seeing all your current projects on the wall. Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸. Hope you have a good weekend.
Thanks for showing all your projects. It remainder me that I have 3 tops to baste and quilt, plus the new pattern I am working on, and I do have the fabric ready for an oh my stars quilt. I will get the basting done this month! Hopefully get one quilted too😊.
Look forward to watching you every day ,so enjoyable. I iron my spray basted quits before spraying and after , it seems to relax the fabric to lay flatter.
I’m currently only working on 3 projects! That’s enough for me! Lol😂
Wishing you and everyone a fun and safe 4th. 🇺🇸
I only have one project on my design wall at the present, but I have other projects displayed on my futon. 3 quilts in piecing stage, plus my ongoing 2” squares quilt. One UFO in a box. And getting ready to go on a quilt retreat next week, so planning what I want to take with me to do - planning to use some left over fabrics for a scrappy quilt and a red and white quilt for my bed, maybe spools. So, four active, one stalled and a couple in planning stage. That’s enough for me.
Fried Clam Day is definitely my kind of day!! I’m a New England gal at heart, grew up with Maine Lobster, sea scallops, haddock and FRIED CLAMS - the “real” fried clams with the whole belly (as they say). In Florida, if you live around the Silver Springs Park area there is Lena’s from September until end of June. They also have their place in Salisbury Mass (not sure what the schedule is) and It is our favorite place for New England fried clams!!
So fun seeing all your projects!
Oh my fried clams my fav, there is a place on the Ocean in NS Canada we await their opening every spring, Diane’s restaurant in Economy, NS, Canada. The meaty ones are called while clams, the whole thing. Behind the restaurant is their clam factory where they get the clams right in the water there, process in the factory, and take some to the restaurant. Last time we were there I saw a gal all dressed in white gear arrive and drop off a container of clams to the restaurant. Now they don’t get any fresher than that!! Oatmeal maybe u mean clam strips which are just pats of the clams and much milder. We all here like the whole clams so we get the full flavor. One of the treats of living on the ocean in Nova Scotia.
so fun to have a favorite spot!
I can only do one project at a time. My brain...
I always will wash my quilt and shams together so they fade the same. Never had fabric fade as bad as Pat's example!
I'm like a dog with too many squirrels in it's yard when it comes to quilts. Oh look at that one, no look at that one..... While I do have a stash of fabrics the good thing is I never have trouble cutting it up because my goal is to have it look even better in the quilt! Happy July 4th.
❤ your videos
I also love fried clam strips. First time was in FL many many years ago.❤
Last week I took down 3 projects and put up 5 in much earlier stages. So I guess 8 projects?
That would give me anxiety lol. So many projects at a time. I wish I could. lol
I have 2 BOM and a temperature quilt going, which leaves room for another quilt to be worked on. So I have 4 quilts going at a time (not counting bindings).
I used to have a lot more going on at one time, but I pared it down. I noticed that I was feeling anxious about keeping up with the various QAL and zooming through the non-QAL projects so that I could get both types of projects done. It just wasn’t enjoyable.after awhile so I changed it up.
We had fried clams yesterday. We went to the Clam box in Ipswich Mass. Delicious
I live in Colorado so I catch you video at 7 am my time which is 2hours later.
I have not done a lot of fried clams. I grew up in the Napa valley area in california. I would go clam digging with my uncle in Bodega bay. I know one brand of clams we would get were the Washington long necks . I can't remember the other one there were two we would get. I love to make homemade clam chowder I planned on doing that tonight or tomorrow
Love fried clams. Favorite place to get them is Crabby Bill's in St. Pete's Beach.
I love fried clams!!!
Happy Independence Day!
I read at the Sew Sampler page on Facebook that the Sweet Land of Liberty panel was a little difficult to square up. Can you maybe tell us how you squared up the panel before starting to add the borders. Thanks Pat. Love all of your 12 projects. I thought I was doing good to have 3 projects going together. I can’t imagine trying to keep up on 12. You are amazing!
I had no issues. Just try it. Panels are NEVER going to be perfect. That is just the way fabric rolls, so if you strive for perfection, panels may not be something you want to use
@@PatSloan ok, thanks for the advice. I will just give it a try. I have done other panels, but I did not add borders, definitely not pieced borders anyway. I think I just trimmed off the excess, quilted it and put a binding on it. I don’t think there was an issue with it at all. I was a little surprised at the post on Facebook and the following comments about how much people were struggling with getting it square. Nice to know it was ok when you did yours. I’ll just be positive about it and hope for the best! Thanks! I’m hoping to finish up my 4th of July banner (the Riley Blake Banner of the Month) tomorrow morning. Nothing like finishing it at THE very last minute! 😆 have a great 4th of July! Will miss your morning video with my cup of coffee!
there was PLENTY of wiggle room on the panel. I had zero issues. You can't believe everything you read
@@PatSloan so true.
I also have multiple projects at a time. Keeps it interesting!
So when you work on multiple projects, how do you decide when to stop and work on the other one? I have three going on now, but that was only because I took a couple of classes and we did a few blocks so my problem is when do I stop working on one to work on another and the other?
I sped it up to 1.5 boy were you giddy !😂
I have been trying your wave stitch and I must have not listened well enough. I thought you rotated going one direction and then the other?
❤❤❤
Wow! Didn't realize that I'm actively working on 4 projects. Does cutting up scraps count? Then it's 5.
You are in charge of you! if cutting scraps is a project, then count it!
Hi everyone, Unfortunately I have 16 projects started, half completed, or ready for quilting. I have been whittling this list down for 2 years, but new projects (from Pat, hi, hi), and fabrics are always prettier aren't they? LOL I have finished 2 others in the last 2 months. They have been struck off my list.That is encouraging.
Sounds like fun to me!
I have 3 ongoing projects.
Happy 4th of July!!! ❤❤
How do you arrange your day to work on different projects? Do you work on one thing a day or so multiple projects per day?
It depends. I generally work on multiple things a day.. MANY things. In one day i will edit content, film video, answer emails, create blocks, take photos, cross stitch. Then i might do housework, go out side and garden.. ALL in one day. Nobody does just one thing a day, do they?
Pat you have your monthly Sew Sampler Block Basket
I am not sewing those
❤
Good morning
You forgot how many cross stitch projects you have going!
I can only do 2 different projects at a time otherwise i get over whelmed 😊
How about whole belly clams? My favorite is fried oysters.😋😋
I am NOT an oyster person AT ALL
@@PatSloan not a lot of people are, I guess. Clams? I’d eat them any way! Raw, steamed, fried, you name it. I especially love both New England and Manhattan clam chowder. Hoe about you?
Like I said, Fried clams are my jam!
Pat, I thin’ the maroon star on your test block is too dark and heavy, just imo…❤
Hi How do you do that wave stitch? Do you for it on your regular sewing machine?
Your machine has to have the stitch. Watch my videos on it, i have a bunch of them
Hint, hint! You are getting a lot of states for a reason, lol! I would love to do one with all 50 states! It could be #13th project!
curious. do u baste ur quilts before sending to longarm?
No. I've never heard of anyone doing that. They won't be able to load it on the machine if you baste it
I am doing 3 and working away 3 days a week. Hard to find time to sew. I am 65.
Could you keep a list updated on the state fabric you have? Not sure of those you have already received
Hi fellow quilter, Virginia, Alaska are the 2 I recall.
Maybe i will do that.
I have 4 projects out on my counter 😂🤣 can
U said if ur going to hide the quilts then just make tops. I have TOPS where can I send them to?
Today is your lucky day! I have a WHOLE WEBSITE of places that take your tops!! go to www.ilovetomakequilts.com/quilt-tops-for-chairty.html
Pat im a 1 trick poney
Clams-ewwww, not for me! Lol
Totally agree 👍
No on the clams
