This is always my preferred rotation method. Every slot gets 5 hours at least. If I am loving working on something it might get a bit more.

Start 20 May, 2009

1. Autumn Queen ( 25 May )
2. Stroke of Midnight ( 10 June )
3. AQ ( 14 June )
4. Sleepy Horse Angel ( 19 June )
5. AQ ( 27 July )
6. Stoney Creek Baby Angel ( 23 August )
7. AQ ( 4 October )
8. January Birthstone Angel ( finished 19 Oct. )
9. AQ ( 24 Oct. )
10. Dancer ( abandoned 24 Oct. in order to do screaming rotation )

20 June- There is a photo of the Sleepy Horse Angel in the Everyone Else forum.
27 July - I haven't stitched for several weeks but I finally got the last 5 hour slot on AQ finished this morning. There is an update photo in the Mirabila forum under my "AQ focus" thread.
19 Oct. - January angel is finished and photo is in the Happy Dance forum.

Karla 5 hours for each slot isn't really very much time. It's not hard to get through each round. Although right now I am at the kids' school a lot doing stuff for the spring carnival on Friday. So my stitching time is limited this week.

You've been so successful with your rotation! Congrats! Can't wait to see AQ done... Mine is back on the scroll bars but I have so many obligation pieces that I have to do first.

Thanks ladies. Stacy my AQ is going to be a while still. I will probably update my thread in Mirabilia forum after I do another 5 hours. She's going quickly now, but I still have a large mass of skirt left and of course a ton of beads.

Good luck with yours Stacy. Maybe you can get some work done on her soon since you are flying through your obligation stuff!

Karla I am going pretty slow with round #11. Too many things going on with end of school and family stuff. The kids are busy with field trips and I am helping out with various things at their school too.

Kelley you've inspired me to try a timed rotation! It seems to work so well for you I figured I'd give it a try too.

Good luck with it Stacy! I don't have all of my WIPs in each round, I swap them around and change the focus piece each time usually.

That's really a great idea. I don't have nearly any of my WIPs in my rotation. I only chose 6 of them but I don't have a focus piece. I may have to try to copy cat this but I'll try a basic 10 hour rotation first to see how I like it. My first slot will be finished in this rotation so at least I'll have a HD! I may decide to do a focus piece at 5 hours but have the other slots be 10 hours to make sure I make progress on them. Hmmm... got me thinking....
