I love needlework! But somehow this little piece ended up unfinished, a small UFO, sitting in my closet with more UFO’s.
During the years that I was a member of the Embroider’s Guild of America, EGA, I took every class offered and attended regional retreats. As a result, I ended up with a lot of UFO’s in addition to the finished projects. But, all was not lost with UFO’s! I enjoyed every stitch that I did complete and learned so much about embroidery and other forms of needlework and canvas work. In addition, I loved spending time with friends and the conversations we had while sitting and stitching.
The stitching of this little project is finished. I started tearing away the paper but something distracted me and I didn’t finish the project. I will most likely turn it into a small sachet pillow or frame it, so I hope to post the finished piece shortly! I’m also feeling guilty about my other UFO’s so will pull them out and work on them while being a couch potato at night. That will also limit my couch potato guilt!
I hope you pull out your UFO’s and give them a little love!

I should feel guilty, I have a cross stitch for our granddaughter to finish the back stitching on. Then I can frame all three that are long overdue. I am usually too tired in the evening to pick it up. I used to do that in the evenings. Maybe some unexpected exercise will do the trick.
Happy Fall (don’t forget fall back is coming)

Hi Mary, Do not feel guilty!! There’s only so much one can do and most of us have too many things on our plate. Happy Fall to you. I will be at the International Quilt Market in Houston when we fall back, which is good as I stay up too late chatting and will be able to have an extra hour to sleep!
