thanks (I think)

Welcome back! Isn't it nice when we start to get excited about something other than our daily routine!

Thanks for posting. Sounds like me, I stitch in splurges too. Sometimes it's worthwhile to slow down a bit, and appreciate what we've got, the ordinary things that make life worthwhile.

Good gawd, girl, you ARE a sadist to suggest that!

Well, I'm about 1/3 of the way finished with it. Of course, I made it tougher on myself by deciding to stitch the hummingbirds (in addition to the insect critters) over 1 on linen... I can't remember when I started it, I think 9 or 10 years ago!

Why not make yourself a `cloth tile` with your initials etc,, and important family dates ? mirjam

Hey - I have it all kitted up and have never started it! some day soon!

Thank God I'm not the only one! I think I must be about as far behind as you are - I started it somewhere in the late 1990s. And I made it harder because I decided to do it in silk,(trying to get the shading right when you're trying to work out the equivalent colours in the silks has been a nightmare). Right now it's folded neatly away with only the day lilies done. I think I had better move it to the top of my ufo pile this winter, and try to get going again.

I really like working on it in the winter, but that also seems to be the busiest time for work and travel and of course the holidays -- so it doesn't get the attention that it deserves...

Have you tried blending the silks to get equivalent colors? You know, one strand of medium A + one strand of pale A to get a blend medium-pale A?

hmmm, now I'm thinking about pale ale...
