Very beautiful. Thank you for sharing, you have inspired me to look through my unfinished items to see if I can find a diamond in the rough!!

Vera, I remember you telling us about this. A very pretty piece!

That’s exciting! It’s a comfort to know I’m not alone in my slowness to complete some projects. It’s always encouraging to hear about an old piece being finished. I feel fueled to go back to work on… Hmmm…which one.. 😀
Since I’ve only been actively embroidering for about two years now most of my old UFO’s are garments, but in just two…[Read more]

This is lovely, Val. Thanks for posting it for us!

How really pretty, Valerie! Yours really “pops” off the fabric!

I love this one – I need to add to my ‘stitch list’

Somewhere in between. I have a gazillion projects in all stages from haven’t opened the pack yet, to fully kitted and ready to start, to partially stitched but was replaced by a new project, to almost finished or even totally finished but not yet mounted for framing. At this time, I’m trying a new system I described last week where I’m rotating…[Read more]

I usually have several projects going all the time. They are not all embroidery…..some are knitting, crochet, quilting (some of which include embroidery), EGA Chapter projects, and several embroidery projects in different or combined techniques. I also have several quilt tops waiting for quilting and binding. Then, I am also branching out…[Read more]

For me it is one main project at a time. I haven’t learned how to split my attention between several projects. I do have small travelling projects (but who’s going anywhere these days?). I like having all my threads/tools for a particular project out and available and it is always exciting thinking about “what’s next!”

Janet, how do you manage your rotational stitching with your Master Craftsman work? Is it part of your 3, or in addition to?

Jamie, way too many projects in the works:) I also practice a type of rotational stitching. I have easier projects that I stitch in the evening after work when I’m just looking for the relaxation of stitching. Other more challenging projects are saved for weekend/larger chunks of time.

Beth: They are #1 and #2 of the 3 projects currently in the rotation. The 3rd and 4th (I know, it’s only supposed to be 3) are the GCC (Barbara Seuss’ pink Temari balls) my chapter started before our world changed and Kim Sanders’ Peace from Set 4 of the National Outreach Project.

I usually have one larger project and any number of smaller ones going at the same time. Sometimes I just can’t focus on the large one and that is especially true during these strange times. I like Janet’s plan of a rotation. I may have to try that.

I usually have 3 or 4 projects going at a time. I rotate between easier ones, and I have 2 full coverage pictures in progress. One is a Mystic Stitch and one is a HAED quick stitch. This way I can keep a variety of projects available, depending on the mood I’m in.

wow that is gorgeous

Really nice, Tim! What a lot of work there.

Beautiful work!

I’m making some progress on the grass and flowers. I’m hoping to finish it over the weekend.

Now it’s all done aside from using tweezers to pull out the last bits of tear-away stabilizer. out of the grass.

Tim, you should be very pleased with that!

Beautiful, Wendy! Thanks for sharing.

Very nice finish Wendy!!
