I walked into a quilt shop yesterday, and the owner asked me a question.

“What are you working on?”

I had to think hard.

I’ve been working on a lot of things, but I don’t have any big finishes to show for it. In this case it’s easy to feel like you’re not getting anything done. I think it helps to step back and give yourself credit for what you’ve accomplished. Here are some of my recent projects.
