In my part of the world we say you are a fool if your passion for a pursuit overcomes all practical sense. I am a stitching fool, and I stitch foolishness.

Look what they did!

For the past two years, the program committee for the Carolina Sampler Guild has been designing and teaching motifs for the Sailor's Huswif.

And tonight they showed us how all the pieces will go together:



Isn't this a wonderful project? 

Have I been stitching on this?  Uh . . . .not yet. Apparently I need to let it age a little more, the way I've been letting other things age before I pull them out and stitch my fingers to the bone.

And, since I had a guild meeting tonight, I haven't stitched yet today. I plan to rectify that situation immediately.

    Just like a good wine, your stash gets better with age. Good one. I'm going to use that line!

    The project is beautiful.

    That is lovely. OMG I love that term "got to let it age a little more" I've got to remember that!
