Completing Projects
With seven being the number for completion, I have decided that I will do my best to complete as much as a can this yea (2007). Yesterday I managed to complete two small non quilt projects. Presently, I have a GFG quilt in the hoop and I've h'quilted about 33% so far. My goal is to get this top finished and then (HOPEFULLY) I'll be able to get DH's quilt finished before next year. There is also a large crochet tablecloth that is about 75% finished. I'd love to get it finished too. As far as making other quilts, I don't plan to start any for myself. I may take one or two for hire on the side for different people, which I sometimes do. I just feel this great need to not leave a lot of started, unfinished projects when I'm dead and gone. I want my family to have finished reminders of me that they can use instead of a lot left behind for them to scratch their heads over.
Do others of you feel this same way or should I consider this a glimpse of things to come? I'm not trying to be morbid here, just wondering.

Sandra, you certainly are not guilty of morbid thinking, that's practical thinking. You want to leave a legacy of handcrafted "treasures", not a collection of bits and pieces and odds and ends that will be discarded.
IMHO, that is a perfectly admirable goal. Just be sure to label things with your name or initials and the year the item was completed as part of the legacy idea. (Or with the tablecloth, leave some photographs somewhere with the information written on the back.) You don't want to be one of the famous clan of anonymouses, do you? LOL

Ditto your feelings, Sandra. More so since returning from my cousin's funeral and she was just 3 mos. older than me and supposedly in great health. Now going through boxes of family tree stuff trying to straighten it out, left behind no one would ever figure it out. I am trying to pass it on before I go. Don't have much fabric, just some unfinished projects. I only buy for a particular project, saves a lot of $$. Lavinia-TN
