Have you got some UFO's still to finish??

Setting yourself deadlines for stitching cards and pressies?

Half way thro a huge project and needing motivation to finish?

Then grap a cuppa tea and come and have a moan, come a borrow ideas, or just look lovingly at everyone else's projects.

Don't forget to set yourself up a photo album account somewhere to share all your lovely work.

Hope to see some 2009 UFO'ers + some new faces.

  • count me in... I started a cross stitch wedding ring cushion over 11 years ago for my sisters wedding to her now ex-hubby! Not sure if it is good or bad luck, but I have been thinking about completing this (and others) for my own wedding in June!

  • I'm just settling down to watch Corrie and do some work on a Christmas stocking that I started about a month ago and was trying to get it finished for my niece for Christmas this year.

    I am planning to stitch stockings for most of my family this year, this way I get to buy stitchy stuff and save money on presents...lol
    ;)I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY;)

    Had planned to have 2 weeks of solid stitching but alcohol has sadly got in the way today. Travelling to Norfolk tomorrow (10.5 hour journey - if the roads are ok) so no stitching tomorrow either. Maybe the next day.

  • I have a UFO! My nanna and I bought a 'Calendar Bears' cross stitch about 10 years ago; she finished hers within months and it hung proudly by the front door until she died in September... so now I want to finish mine... sat working on it while watching Bad Santa, there's 12 bears to do, I have completed 2 and have 2 half done!

    pm2326 they are fantastic - you have farr more patience then me.

    I'll get my 3 UFO's up soon. I WILL finish them before starting anything else......famous last words.

  • Oooh please can I join you. I used to do loads before I had my dd almost 5 years ago and have hardly done any since. She is now at school and I only work 16 hours a week so in theory should have plenty of available stitching time!
    I started a picture of lions that my mum purchased for me to do as a gift from us both for my dad-it was possibly for his 60th birthday. He is 70 on 25th march 2010 and it would be great if I could have it done for then-only 10 years late!!!
    BTW I'm a single mum of 41 who is a nurse.
    Hope to get to know you all.
