I am so addicted to quilting these days (and posting more about it on my blog, too). I have MANY unfinished projects, but I've also finished a lot too - way too many wonderful ways to use my stash fabric :) Would love to see some of your work!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332796775305098552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-90924493906404357452012-03-12T10:55:40.967-04:002012-03-12T10:55:40.967-04:00I am really curious about your quilts and would lo...I am really curious about your quilts and would love to see the pictures when you are done. I also have had to stop with the review obligations, though I do accept some. It made my reading feel too much like a chore, and I was getting depressed and not having fun. Now I choose carefully, but I still feel guilty because there are a ton of books here staring at me that I still need to review from awhile back!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-45823519440831075032012-03-12T08:54:36.951-04:002012-03-12T08:54:36.951-04:00You know guys, no matter how many times I say on m...You know guys, no matter how many times I say on my review policy that I'm not accepting pitches I still get them almost daily. And once in a while something is too good to pass up. And you know what else? Sometimes it's fun too.Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-11049946008776902032012-03-11T21:52:03.777-04:002012-03-11T21:52:03.777-04:00I hope you love Silver Sparrow, I really can't...I hope you love Silver Sparrow, I really can't wait to hear your thoughts.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102250492155489672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-34032047466072427172012-03-11T15:56:47.271-04:002012-03-11T15:56:47.271-04:00I would love to see pictures of your quilts so ple...I would love to see pictures of your quilts so please publish them.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739982274914536036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-367363666950569292012-03-11T12:18:00.230-04:002012-03-11T12:18:00.230-04:00I agree with everyone, Marie.

I think you should just DNF the book and start on something much better.Vasillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463689838763126048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-62396394982327990412012-03-11T11:51:04.777-04:002012-03-11T11:51:04.777-04:00I agree with unfinished person and Sandy. I have ...I agree with unfinished person and Sandy. I have severely limited the number of books I accept for review over the past few years and it's been wonderful. It's so nice to go to the shelf and pick up whatever you want, rather than feeling compelled to read something you NEED to review. I know the balance is different for everyone, but maybe just put down a couple of those books and indulge yourself for a week with reading what you want to read!Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-44631850181250329632012-03-11T09:52:44.954-04:002012-03-11T09:52:44.954-04:00I think it was a little over a year ago, I woke up...I think it was a little over a year ago, I woke up and decided review obligations were going to end. They were dragging me down and making my reading seem like drudgery. I still accept a few review books, but for the most part I read whatever the hell I want. My issues these days are just getting my books reviewed, period. It is a constant struggle, just because i don't seem to have the time to do it all. I need a Bloggiesta I think!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-3953957809584808132012-03-11T08:42:19.976-04:002012-03-11T08:42:19.976-04:00Wait a minute...who has put these review obligatio...Wait a minute...who has put these review obligations on you? Hmmm, let's think about this. Was it...YOU? :) Well, there you go. I suggest reading something that you're not feeling obligated to read. :) Me? I finished one book, Wycliffe and the Last Rites by W.J. Burley and now I'm onto reading My Thoughts Be Bloody: The Bitter Rivalry Between Edwin and John Wilkes Booth That Led to an American Tragedy by Nora Titone, which is an intriguing read thus far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
