Stitching WIPS

I’m still trying to figure out a plan for stitching that works for me. Maybe I need someone telling me what to do and I shouldn’t be left to make my own decisions. 🙂

In 2023, my friend, Pat, and I started a lot of projects. We had a lot of the same charts and we had a list and we started a lot! By the time 2024 started, all the WIPS were started to make me a little nervous.

So far this year, I’ve finished 12 pieces and at least 8 of those were started in 2024. That means I haven’t done a very good job of going back and finishing those older pieces. What’s left of 2024 will be spent working on finishing WIPS.

On November 30, I started back to working on Red Bird Sampler. I started this one in May, 2022 and this is what it looked like when I picked it up again a few days ago.

After just three days of working on this, look how much I have stitched!

I think I can definitely finish this one by the end of this week.

Next I’ll work on For the Love of Nature. Here’s where I left off in July, 2023.

I’m about halfway done with it. I’m pretty sure I can finish it in two weeks if I stick with it.

The last project I would love to work on, though it’s doubtful I can finish it before the end of the year, is Noel Sampler. I last worked on it in April, 2023.

What are my stitching plans for 2025? I have no idea. There are a lot of big projects that need to be finished. There are a lot of new projects I would like to start. I doubt I’ll ever be a monogamous stitcher but I am going to try harder to finish more and start fewer projects in 2025. Time will tell!
