Dear Friends,
I'm wondering whether any of you ever do what I've just done.
I've been working on a very difficult piece of Point de Lille for the
past 8 weeks or so and it has about 3 days' work left in it. I've
enjoyed it so much I am loathe to finish it. So 2 days ago I simply
stopped and kn
Don't you just hate it when the last step in a near finished project is a
sewing session.
I would rather keep lacing

I have had things on my pillows that were not very large and more than half
finished and then I didn't touch them for years. Sometimes I finish out of
a sense of duty (blah) and sometimes I fall in love with it all over
again. But lately I have been mostly tatting and inventing things in

I usually try to finish one piece at a time, but must admit to having two
unfinished at the moment. One is a large Bruges flower lace mat, and I have
just run out of team on that, and the other is a "free" lace piece that I
know is going to be difficult to finish off - it is waiting for me to have
Hi
My problem is just the opposite. I have just finished a Kortelahti Oval
from the book of roses, and a Torchon bookmark. I cleaned my pillows from
UFOs which were sitting there collecting dust for several years. I didn't
finish the UFOs I just took them off the pillow going by the motto that if
No..Don't think I've done exactly that. I usually get excited about finishing
and push right along. It's *after* finishing a piece that I've used as a demo
project for several years that I have a small panic: "What will I do now? I
don't have a demo project."
Then there's the times that I've

It's *after* finishing a piece that I've used as a demo project
for several years that I have a small panic: "What will I do
now? I don't have a demo project."
I know that panicky feeling. But it always happens when I finish a
piece. I rarely know what I'm going to make next, and th
I do this all the time. You'd be surprised how many projects I have lying
around, each one only needing a couple of days' work to complete! I'm a process
person - for me, it's not the finishing, it's the fun of making something that
drives me. So the closer I am to finishing, the less impetus I
David, I always start grieving when the end of a project is near! And yes, I
probably drag it out as well! But I'm also eager to get it off the pillow and
see it in its glory!

Oh, I am shocked about myself. It seemed I am not as some of you are. I mostly
become very impatient if a work of mine becomes to an end. And I must be
careful not to spoil it. Because my thoughts are still on the next project. And
I am happy to have finished this one.

I'm with you, Ilske! I am excited when a new project starts, hate the long
middle part when I have become familiar with it, like the end as I am
looking forward to seeing it finished, and from the middle part on while
working on the lace I am looking forward to the next project and planning

Yes I am the same as you Ilske. Â Always eager to start the next project.

I never simply work on one thing, I have a challenging pattern usually
teaching myself a new technique, any easy pattern to do just for fun, a
project eg gifts for family members, and at least 2 others all of

I'm not sure if I should do anything to it before taking it off the pillow. As
I live in a desert climate linen dries out too much. In fact I will probably
not do it again as the threads break a lot!
