Giant size snowman compared to my houses!!
So after feeling like I needed an extra hand or two or three, I decided to rotate my hand work projects. Basically, I have Wool Crazy, Beyond the Cherry Tree applique, hand quilting my Jane Stickle quilt, then misc...mostly consisting of hand quilting small projects. I figured three or four days for each project should let me enjoy each one of them. I'm not in any hurry to finish, but love them all and want to work on all at the same time!
My other plan is to always have an applique block ready to take with me. It seems to be the most portable project.
Thank you all for your wonderful tips and suggestions. I appreciate it so much!
Part 3 of Midnight Stars will be posted on Friday.

I am always rotating projects. It helps to keep from stressing your hands too. Your wool project looks wonderful.

I have noticed you working with wool before. I have a lot of wool. I picked up a bunch of bright colors and cool plaids. Do you have any suggestions for a wool applique project I could get going on?
Rotating projects is a wonderful idea.
I'm crazy about your wool project - it's fabulous, Lori.
Sounds like a good plan :o)
I love your wool project. I'm happy to see you posting it so I can have a peek! :)
Love your Wool Crazy blocks. I think rotating projects is a great idea. ENJOY!
Love it, Lori. Now if only I can find my threads, I'd be joining you. After seeing your WC project, I'm feeling the need!
You have such fun appliques on these blocks - I look forward to seeing them embelished!
I rotate projects too - to save my fingers mostly.
Your wool project is looking great! You sure are getting lots done!
Love your wool crazy work. I have 2 drawers of wool kits waiting for me. My problem with wool is that once I start I want to keep going and going and going.... a girl needs to sleep too. LOL
Lori, I really think the way you're thinking of enjoying the work process on your projects is a great contribution for us all. Thanks for sharing that. I found that approach totally attractive! Just like all your wool work. Lordy bee... How fun.
You Wool Crazy project is wonderful!! LOVE it!! Makes me want to get mine out to finish!!
Take care!

Lori, your wool crazy looks sooooo beautiful already. You've gotten a lot more done. I love it!!
I've only done a couple of small wool projects, but you may inspire me to do more. It looks great!
That stalk of corn is just perfect *s*
Oh goodie...I thought we wouldn't get part 3 until Monday.
Love the wool Lori and it makes me want to start a wool project...ahhh...what's a girl to do except pull out the bin of wool...lol
I am rotating my hand projects and right now I'm doing the BTCT and the hand quilting of baptist fans. Plus I have 2 bindings sitting on the couch that need to be done by hand. Between working 40 hrs, quilting for others, Geez, not enough hours in the day. Instead of a pay raise, I asked for more time off this year. Crossing my fingers!
I love your wool quilt! I even see a corn stalk in there. What size are the blocks?
Love your crazy wool project Lori - I have that on my list - my long, long list! LOL
Beautiful wool project. I am like you. I rotate the things I do. It is also healthier on your joints. Breaks are very important to prevent injuries. I am loving the doll quilt.
Great way to keep your projects fesh feeling!
Love those houses on the fan block - just love them!!!
Love the wool!!
