Fortunately I think I have less than 5 of these.

I stitched a flower bell-pull in 2008, and I swore I'd never touch black fabric again. As for long forgotten WIPs, yes they constantly whimper and cry for attention; but I close my eyes and stuff my fingers in my ears and say La-La-La very loudly until they go quiet again.

I tried stitching on black once... yes, definitely a booger! ;-) I try to keep WIP's to a minimum... but, there is always a variety of projects on-going... one quilt, one hooked rug, one wool applique, one cross stitch.... that's how I can avoid calling them WIP's! lol! moosecrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309739222008330155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778498094254760366.post-76444339692823616432016-03-31T18:04:04.137-05:002016-03-31T18:04:04.137-05:00It is gorgeous on that black fabric.

This bin contains all of the WIPs, UFOs and stitching orphans that I have in my collection. When I started in February 2015, I had a total of 89. I whittled out more than a few for one reason or another. After that exercise, it left me with 75. My goal was to finish the stitching on a minimum of 25 of these projects throughout the year. <br /><br />I hit the 25 mark in July of that year and by the end of the year, I had finished the stitching on 36 of these abandoned projects. This left 34 to be stitched, beginning in 2016. <br /><br /> This years' goal is to stitch 12 more of these, one for every month of the calendar year. I hit 6 projects this month, and couldn't be happier. It is so, so nice to have all of these wrapped up and out of that bin. I highly encourage anyone who has UFOs to get them out and stitch them up. It's been a very rewarding journey! :)ArchangelDeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00470693171781707533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6778498094254760366.post-14864027227136274642016-03-31T17:03:44.941-05:002016-03-31T17:03:44.941-05:00That's beautiful!
