All the crafts I want to learn

I have a strong desire to learn how to knit, crochet, scrapbook, quilt and sew. I have the equipment for most of these projects, and yet I have yet to really complete anything (aside from some scrapbooking pages.) I know how to do quilt pieces on a machine, but don't know how to bind the quilt and finish it. I can knit a scarf, but I can't knit anything that is nt a flat or straight knit. I can't crochet yet, but I have the needles. I have a set of curtains for my daughter's room cut out, but can't figure out how to put it together. I am the consummate starter of things I have not finished. But I really love learning things. But I get bored, discouraged or just annoyed. I need to learn how to learn to read a pattern, but I don't have the patience.

So, my goal this year is to master one skills besides scrapbooking. I'm thinking the knitting or quilting. I need something I can do in pieces though. There's a quilt shop that just opened down the road and if their classes are reasonable, I may consider it.

So quilting it is.
