Evergreen finis

Evergreen Loose Feathers #17 - Design by Blackbird Designs
Recommended floss
32 count Silkweavers French Vanilla Swirl

I finished up Evergreen yesterday. I really pushed to finish it so I can move onto something else that excites me. I got a lot of really great advice yesterday on how to break my slump. I'm planning on going through my stash tonight and see what hits me the best. I do have a couple of gifts I need to work on and that might be why I'm not wanting to stitch as much. I'm not a fan of "have to stitch" but much prefer to stitch for my own pleasure. That might be the block.

Just gorgeous! And I agree about stitching for others. I don't do it anymore.

I love your finish! And I agree -- stitching that you have to do can definitely put you into a stitching slump.

Gorgeous finish!

I'll bet "having to stitch" instead of "wanting to stitch" is what is holding you up. Hope you find something that strikes you in your stash.

Love your BBD finish - it's beautiful and perfect for this time of year - Hope you find something to peak your interest - I HATE just sitting but that is why I knit - I can always find something fabulous to work on in my knitting pile when I am too tired to stitch. Somehow for me - stitching takes more energy to focus. Cheers! Melody

Love it! Just looks like so much fun to stitch. Great job.

Evergreen is beautiful. Whenever I have to stitch something - a gift, etc. - I find myself not stitching at all rather than stitching on what I'm supposed to be doing. I too love to stitch primarily for my own pleasure!
