Then I decided to pull out Play Ball HAED Randal Spangler and work on that while I watched the World Series. Got some good progress but the the flitter bug hit again and I put that away looking like this.
While wandering through my huge stash of started HAED's I happened upon this one and it really yelled at me so out it came. I have been stitching on it now for two days and have made some good progress. I just wish I could stick with a project like you guys do. Oh well it is what it is and they all get some love.
So again I'm not promising that I will be able to stick with this but I will give it a good try. One of these days I'll hit on the ONE. Someone at one time told me that I am a process stitcher and that is why I don't get finishes. I like the stitching but not the finish.
Please make sure to check out the other talented stitchers I am doing this SAL with. They do amazing work and they even manage to stick with a project and get it done. Also we are welcoming Connie back to the SAL after a short break.

Cindy I'm so impressed that you can jump between projects -- and that you have so many in your stash! (Actually, wait, I have that issue too... ;) ) Enjoy stitching whichever project for however long you like. We'll cheer you on regardless!
ReplyDeleteYou're still stitching something and that's what matters. The only way I can stick with a project right to the end is by putting all other projects away and that means out of sight and somewhere not easily accessible. I love to start and finish pieces so it's easy to motivate myself that way. If you're happy to chop and change then that works for you :-)
ReplyDeletesometimes a change is all you need ^^

Well, you know you want be out of work for the next years and that´s good, I think :) Every stitch is a progress!!!
ReplyDeleteHeaven and Earth Designs are amazing but very stitch dense, I think. Meanwhile, I had to give up on my project I had started at the beginning...I couldn't get my stitches to lay like I wanted them too. Didn't know if it was me or the linen or what. Anyway, I went on to these Quaker motifs and am much happier with it. Sometime I'll take out the other one and give it another stab, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI like to flit between stitching projects but when I'm building a quilt I like to stay with it until I have a completed top. We all have to find what works best for us I guess!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need to flit between projects, otherwise you will just stop. And as you do big pieces, it's only natural to need to change it up. I only have one cross-stitch on the go, but I do flit to other crafting mediums x
ReplyDeleteWe all need some variety! I jump between multiple quilts, my stitching and several knitting things. It's just that you stitch, so you jump between stitching projects when you need a change of pace. π
ReplyDeleteWith so many Spangler projects, it has to be tough to stick with just one! Every stitch on each project is closer to a finish. As long as you are enjoying adding those stitches, you're doing great!
