So, this morning I spent an hour (an HOUR!) looking for a WIP to join in with some folks over on Instagram who are working on a Glendon Place dessert design. I have one in progress and would love to get some progress happening on it. Do you think I could find it? Well – long story short, I did eventually find it in a drawer, rolled up within another large piece of fabric for safe keeping. Sigh.
So – I’ve made a decision. The remainder of this year will be spent on finishing up long languishing projects and taming the stash. Who’s in? No new starts for this girl. I have many that are so close, I just didn’t have the attention span to finish them before being completely distracted with something shiny and new. Leave me a comment so I know I have some of you along for the ride. Leave a link to your blogs in the comment so we can all ooooh and ahhhh over how amazingly disciplined we will be with our finishing.
So – to start with, I finished the stitching on Plum Street Samplers “Beans” design and I LOVE it! I plan to turn this into a pillow. Next year. It’s going into the finished stitching pile that I pull out now and the to remind myself that I can actually do it.
Then, this weekend I guess I started my last new start for 2016 – a Nancy’s Needle design – I’ll add in more details later, I’m trying to be quick about posting this morning. I adore this piece – the colours make me very happy.
So – come on, join me for the rest of 2016 and let’s clean out the WIP pile.
Yes, having a finish is quite rewarding. We both had one this weekend – yay! It would be nice to have another this year – just have to decide what takes priority. Maybe my Landmark Sunflower (the companion piece to your Iris) will be my non-HAED focus piece?
But I may need to have a new start – your lovely canvas piece (and seeing how quickly you got that much accomplished!) is making me anxious to start my Northern
Lights by Laura Perin…?
As I’m fairly new to stitching my goal is to stick to my self imposed rule. One project at a time. But my new stitching friends are quite the enablers ? lol! I’ll have to stay strong ?
That is a great idea, I would join you but I usually stitch only one project at the time, however I have plenty sewing projects started so maybe I will focus on those. Your stitching is beautiful.
I’m in … with stictching at least. I make no such promises when it comes to knitting.
But in order to get anything finished I need to make time to stitch, so I’m going to commit to one day a week minimum being a stitchy day.
I can’t join in but I’ll cheer you on! I love that star. Your stitching looks so PERFECT!!!
While I am far from your excellent skill level, I am finishing the edging on a preemie gift blanket currently. Like Fawn, I’ll cheer you on, Caroline! xx
