Posts: 1 11/01/09 10:33:23	Tags : None Hello, I live in the UK and have been stitching (and knitting) for years and years... to the point now where I have definitely got to get myself organised. I have so many WIPs that I'm hoping I can learn something about rotation stitching from you all and, hopefully, sort myself out so that I can manage to produce some finished projects next year! I have been trying to focus on just 3 projects: Carriage House Samplings 'Houses of Hawk Run Hollow', Chatelaine Designs 'Japanese Octagon Box' and Primitive Traditions: 'Sewing chest of Sarah Elliott' but keep breaking off to 'catch up' on other projects...... plus I keep signing up for SALs (2 x Victoria Sampler groups last month!) and I'm also attending two CA Wells' classes in two weeks' time (preparatory work is taking all my time at the moment) and I can't resist a bargain at my LNS or on Ebay - oh dear! I have now so many projects in progress or ready to start that I need to decide how I'm going to approach my stitching in 2010 (most definitely got to cut back on stash additions next year), so I hope that some serious rotation stitching is the answer. Looking forward to reading your posts and hearing your advice! Best wishes from the UK.

It's a good way to get motivated again. ~ Cathy My Progress Finished 2008 ~ TW Wedding Sampler Finished 2009 ~ TW First Day of Christmas Ornament Rotating ~ 2nd Day of Christmas, Santa of the Forest, Fishing Buddies Stocking, Double Irish Chain Lap Quilt, Pincushion Reading ~ Beneath My Mother's Feet - Amjed Oamar, The Puzzles of Amish Life - Donald Kraybill, Drums of Autumn - Diana Gabaldon

Posts: 2 11/05/09 11:59:46	Hello again, I live in Sheffield, Yorkshire with my husband and 6yr old twins. I've lived here since 1993 so it pretty much feels like home now! (By the way, I see you live in Cheshire - I lived in Chester for two years when I was younger.... I've fond memories of the City and its lovely shops!) I've read quite a few of this Group's posts now, and I've started to work through my stash of WIPS and kitted up projects, making notes of what I've got and what I probably will never start (these can go on Ebay). My problem is that I start projects, work on them a while and then become overwhelmed by the amount of time they demand to make any progress/finish them... plus there is the distraction of other kits which I want to start! Looking at the time I have available in an average week, I'm going to choose 5 projects (4 already started and 1 new) and work on each in 5hr blocks..... see how it goes over the first few weeks. Right, it's back to sorting out and making notes now!!
