AT THIS RATE, WE'LL SEE THIS ONE COMPLETED SOMETIME IN THE YEAR 2092


Progress continues on L'Hiver, but if I say to myself "Gee, this really stitches up pretty quickly" one more time, I'm going to hide my safety scissors from myself.

Why do I always sit down with a piece and think "Oh, I'll have this one done by the weekend, surely"?

    Been there, said that -- at least a hundred times. That's why I have so many stitching UFO's and WIP's.

    Hey, that's my line, LOL! I think every stitcher thinks like that, Coni...we are just a n optimistic lot...or delusional, LOL!

    Loving the WIP though...not matter how long it takes you to finish it, it is going to be lovely!

    Coni: I am sure 99.9% of us have been in the same boat as you aer, I have a project I started way back in 1999 and still donot have it finished, maybe and I mean maybe it will get done in maybe 2015.
    Stewy you need to learn to stitch so you can help Mom.

    There is always that chance your prediction will come true, keep trying.

    I actually OWN this! AND the other three seasons! AND I've done two of them - but not this one (I did summer and spring and started fall and then some kid at the pool dripped water all over it and it ran and I quit.....) Aren't they gorgeous? But they DO take a lot longer than you think.

    You say that because you are a stitcher. Don`t we all have delusions of grandeur? *wink*

    Looks great so far. Kisses to Stewey and Bosco...

    Seeing your progress pictures of L'Hiver makes me want to pull out mine. I think I started in the opposite corner of where you did, so maybe we could meet halfway and then call it finis?

    I do the same thing! I always always underestimate how much time it's going to take to stitch something by about 5000%. L'Hiver looks beautiful though.
