Stitching Lotus

Christmas Treasures

Sometimes you’ve just got to call something done, even if it isn’t totally done.

I’ve been working on Victoria Sampler’s Christmas Treasures since 2008. But, to be honest, I fell out of love with it pretty quickly. I had purchased the lovely box that was on the cover of the chart, so I felt like I had to finish it. But I didn’t…

I dug out the project the other day and took it to a stitching night. There, with the encouragement of some of the ladies present, I decided to finish up a couple of motifs, and then call it done. I’ll be finishing it into a small pillow (eventually), and I’ll be using the lovely box for Jeanette Douglas’ Strawberry Stitches instead.

I think sometimes you need to just call something done and move on, rather than let it hang around in your workbasket (and mind) for years and years.
