Ancient WIP Finished!


I'm doing a happy dance tonight as I've finished an ancient WIP. I decided when doing the goals for the year that I'd get out those pieces that I put in the list, get them pressed and mounted in Qs so they would be easily accessible when the urge hit. I put down the Palm tree the other night because it is so large I don't feel like I'm making much progress. Time for a little instant gratification so I picked up this WIP that was almost done. The piece is Duality, a collabrative piece by Betsy Stinner and Sue Stehle. After teaching at one of the stitchers retreats one year, they decided to design a pattern together and presented it at camp the next year. This piece was fun to work on with the chunky texture motifs designed by Sue and the more intricate linen work designed by Betsy. I've been plodding along on the Palm and need to get an updated progress picture of it up, but I cannot say that I've been making real headway. I should be making more headway with the cabin fever that I have. I want Spring in a major way. The next best thing to a warm weather fix would be a stash run. I won't be able to go out tomorrow for the Super Bowl sale, but I can order from home and still get the discount. Enjoy the game, shoppping or whatever this weekend gives you.

It turned out wonderful, congratulations on getting it done. I'll bet it feels great to get an older WIP finished up. I sent Deb my order a little earlier today, so now I just have to have some patience until my goodies get here.

Great job. Doesn't it feel good to finish something?

You must be ordering from Stitches 'n Things. I plan to do an order in an hour or so. Have never ordered from them, but have been getting their newsletter for a while. Was introduced to them by someone I met at Silver Needle's camp.
