End of February WIP update.....a few days late

My last post listed 4 neglected WIPs that I was going to get back into actively stitching again. However, I decided that the smart thing to do was to focus on only one of the WIPs.   Especially since I have 2 or 3 current WIPs that I am also working on (more about those in another post).  So the neglected WIP that has been put into active stitching status is Spring Flame Pin Cushion by Heartstring Samplery.

I started this project in 2015!  Here is a photo of the progress that I had made on it as of January 2018 when I laid it aside and didn’t pick it up again until last month.

So let’s take a look at my progress during the past month.  Not great, but I have been stitching on a couple of other current things also. The color looks more vibrant in this photo.....thanks to my new iPad.

What about the other three neglected WIPs?  Two of them, La-D-Da and The Hearts Content, will get put into my active stitching pile after I finish the Spring Flame Pin Cushion. 

After much thought, I have decided to abandon the Prairie Grove Peddler Honey Bee candle mat.  It has become one of those projects that I liked at one time but now I really don’t care about finishing it.  I decided that I have too many WIPs and even more in my "to-stitch stash" to spend time working on something that I no longer want to stitch.  I struggled with that decision.  I don’t like abandoning projects (or books!) but sometimes that is the best thing to do.  What about you?  Have you ever abandoned a stitching project?

I’ll post a progress report on the Spring Flame Pin Cushion at the end of March.  I also want to do a post on the 2019 Wholesale Needlework Market that was held in Nashville last weekend. (Can we say “more stash”?)   And I need to do a post on the current projects I’m working on.  So many blog posts to do, so little time.  See ya later.
