Hello Ladies,
Would you please talk about how to stay focused on your current project? I see a new tutorial and want to hop over and start a new project before completing works in progress. Then I become overwhelmed with how many things I have started. I would appreciate your advise. Thanks

Your videos and blog are keeping me sane during the pandemic and your posts have renewed my interest in quilting. Thanks for that. I just bought the Labor of Love book and love it. I started working on your Window Box quilt when I stumbled on your Flowers for Emma. Of course, my Window Box has morphed into a bigger size and HELP!, I need a tutorial on scalloped edges. I have never done a scalloped edge and have seen some conflicting information online. Do you do the scallop before or after the quilting? When do you mark the quilt? Do you have any recommendations on the right tool to mark the scallops?
Keep up the great quilting/publishing and your body of work is impressive. (BWT, your daughter’s work is inspiring as well.)
P.S. One question for your Podcast – I have always done my own quilting, but I am considering taking a quilt to a local shop to have it long armed quilted for me. Why do I fee like this is “cheating”? You are in the quilt business, so it makes sense for you. I’m just a CPA/ wannabe quilter. Can I indulge in getting a hand once in a while so I can move on to other projects?
Respectfully, JRH

I got behind on my monthly! I’m glad to get caught up. Looking forward to your next line. I sure wish it wasn’t so far from where you first share it to when the fabric comes out!

I am enjoying the podcast so very much. Thank you both for sharing your time and information. I am curious about how you determine how much time each day you will be working on a project? I know Chelsea has children at home that can be a challenge, but for you Sherri how do you decide? I start working in my sewing room and I loose all track of time. Do you have a cut off time? Does your family see it as ( your time)?

Such a great question…thank you so much!
We’ll answer it on Monday’s podcast!
