NOTE TO SELF

Hmmmm, I seem to be doing a lot of stitching then putting them aside to start another project. Does anyone else have this problem?  I really need to give myself a stern talking to and spend some time actually completing things.  Here are some examples.


                   A hopefully- soon- to- be pincushion from Gail's " Patchwork Loves Embroidery" book.



 
 
And a couple of little Christmas stitcheries from Gail's  2014 Christmas book.
 
 

 
 
There are more than these but I won't  make this post too heavy with pics. Today I started stitching the Christmas project I bought on my Mystery Bus Tour the other week. Getting totally carried away I decided I wanted to knit something  I saw on Cheryll's blog.  
 
 
 
 
 I DID manage to finish needle turning this but need to sew the borders on.
 
 
 
 
So, it's back to my little Civil War quilts tonight. I need to trace and cut some of these new 1800's
reproduction fabrics to use in my latest one.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Clay and I wish you a productive stitching weekend with many Angel Blessings.

    Oh such a lot of beautiful projects on the go... and YES I think changing what you work on keeps you interested...although it's NICE to have a finish too...and it's quite addictive.
    I have a small sewing area so I need to finish off projects...plus it feels G-O-O-D !
    EnJoY your weekend. :)

    No you are not alone with starting and then moving on to another project. Everything looks so beautiful.

    Hi Ondrea - yes I confess - I am another person who jumps between many projects & I need stern words too... like Cheryll, I have only a small space in which to sew, so I really should finish things rather than have them pile up as I continue to start more projects! As long as you love what you are doing, that's really important. x

    Lol Ondrea, I think most of us have a few projects on the go at the one time. Perhaps it is because we become slightly bored tackling one project for a long time and our interest wanes; to keep up that interest we need to have something else to fall back on. Or is that simply an excuse and not a reason? Your work is always gorgeous!

    Ondrea. Welcome to the world. I think I saw a cartoon somewhere about we need a few 100 years extra to finish all our projects. There are just too many interesting things to do. Your work is always stunning. Hugs.
