It is nice to know that there are others who have more than one unfinished project on the go, and I am certain, judging by the quality of your work, that whoever gets that quilt will love it!wendyytbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958628213008688022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415053333659807656.post-55745779817070467482009-09-30T04:36:02.331-07:002009-09-30T04:36:02.331-07:00Right now, I'm being fairly well-behaved with ...Right now, I'm being fairly well-behaved with respect to starting and not finishing a bunch of things. I have one counted cross-stitch 5x7 picture that I gently put into a plastic ziplock baggie and it will stay there until I quit being angry at the instructions for how to embroider one simple little word -BELIEVE -in a little circle at the top of said picture. I have a set of six Mary Engelbret counted cross-stitch ornaments sort of on hold -have two of the six semi-completed. No sewing projects started and left undone at the moment -a rarity and no knitting or crocheted things hanging around either. But I do have two baby quilts unfinished. One is a pre-quilted item -"Ten Little Indians" I believe is the name of it and it's almost completed -was begun about 4 years ago. But the record for being left undone here is still the quilt I began in March of 2003 -in anticipation of the birth of my second grandchild. I did get all the embroidery work done, got the batting and backing all put together and even managed to do the quilting too -via my sewing machine (so, by my Grandma's standards, I cheated i guess) but I have yet to tackle the binding which would finish this project. I've never done binding of any type and frankly, I'm terrified I will totally muck it up! My granddaughter, for whom I made this quilt, will be six years old on the 18th of October so it's a little late and more than a little small for her now too. Maybe I can get it finished in time to present it to oh, let's say my first great-grandchild? That should give me quite a few years of leeway!<br />Thanks for stopping by my place -hope you'll be back too. Especially since I see you and I share a love for Joanne's stores! (I'm also a huge fan of Herrschnerr's online crafts store too! Should buy stock in either of those two places maybe!)Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415053333659807656.post-13869809070948499362009-09-29T11:13:08.447-07:002009-09-29T11:13:08.447-07:00Hi there TRO!

My home.<br />Actually, I live about 4 hours west, but still, I am glad you have been to the Soo.<br />They have closed all of our Joanne Fabric stores up here, and I miss them.<br />I too, have trunks of knitting needles, crocheting supplies, etc. I have pretty much given up crafting and sewing now....but still can't get rid of the supplies!The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415053333659807656.post-55711113660626855492009-09-25T03:52:48.811-07:002009-09-25T03:52:48.811-07:00Wow!

It means so much to me. And I have several unfinished books, but I stopped doing craft projects years ago for the same reason: I ended up with lots of guilt and a lots of unfinished projects. Now I spend my time blogging, which is finished each time. And reading others, like yours...DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2415053333659807656.post-80234918968088990732009-09-24T17:44:23.838-07:002009-09-24T17:44:23.838-07:00LOL!

Oh...I LOVE your fall wall hanging it is gorgeous.<br /><br /><br />Oh and Joanne's is my favorite store too. In Florida we had a Joanne's ETC. and I spent a LOT of time there. When we moved here I was devistated to find out there wasn't one anywhere close. Three months ago though a large Joanne's ETC just like the one in FL opened about 30 minutes from us. I was in heaven my first trip there.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06227096370544516921noreply@blogger.com
