Oh so very close now to a finish. I can smell it. Almost there .....if only I could concentrate on it
See the problem is Emma. She's a bit of a trouble right now and tries to tempt me.
Do you know the feeling? Very close to a finish and then loosing a bit of interest? The upcoming project grabs your attention? Or anything else BUT your recent project?
Sigh
If I would allow myself to start the project before I have finished the last one, I would have a house full of ALMOST finished ufo's.
And then there is also another project I started not long ago. This is the project I take with me when we're going away. I always need to have something to do...
The Wisdom Sampler
Designer: The Vermillion Stitchery
Fabric: Lakeside Linens 36ct Magnolia'
Fibers: my own conversion to NPI silk
Floss Toss for Emma Miles by the Scarlet Letter
Avas silks on 36ct Lakeside Linen Vintage Cornsilk
That's how she will look like

Emma is gorgeous, but hold on on the wisdam Sampler. Promise yourself you can start Emma after a finish ...The Wisdom Sampler is worth it!!
Be strong Gabi! Emma will wait. I love the holly band on Emma.
Have a great week!
ooOoo! Don't slow down now Gabi. We are all watching and waiting to celebrate the gorgeousness of the Wisdom Sampler. =)
You can do it! You're sooooo close!!! Just put a good audiobook on or a tv show and get stitching. That's what I do when I feel that distracted feeling. :D I do love Emma Miles -- the floss colors look so pretty! But your sampler is almost done, and it's gorgeous too! I also love your Mother's Garden -- very nice!
Beautiful works love the Wisdom sampler.

I really love The Wisdom Sampler! Beautiful! I don't think I have ever seen that one before. Lovely!
I'll be cheering you on to the finish line. Your sampler looks fantastic. Use Emma as an incentive to get the Wisdom Sampler completed.
OMG Gabi! You have hit the nail on the head! I am almost finished with my long-term project and I'm itching for the next one. Weird, huh!? Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous!
Wow Gabi! The Wisdom Sampler is stunning! I adore the colours and the motifs in this design. Pretty floss toss for Emma too! Exciting to be almost finished one sampler so you can move onto another!
Such beautiful stitching! I vote to go ahead and start a new one. Why hold yourself back?
Gabi, your The Wisdom Sampler looks gorgeous!! I love that style of the sampler so much and have kitted up something similar with it in my stash for someday. I totally understand how it goes- you may loose an interest of what you are doing when it gets that close to finish. But that's ok, you are free to move on to whatever you feel like it now. Life is too short!!
Wisdom is stunning! I understand what you mean about wanting to finish but also anxious to move on. I think we get bored with the same project when they are large, and can't wait to start a new one. Some times the hardest part is the end!
Wisdom Sampler is gorgeous! You are so close, I can't wait to see it finished!
Loving your next project!
Hugs,
I am the same when it comes to being close to a finish on a big piece, I have to bully myself to finish - your wisdom sampler is very pretty she is going on my wishful thinking list :)
The Wisdom Sampler is beautiful. Those colors are amazing. I can see how other things would tempt you, especially when you have the threads all lined up like that ;) Can't wait to see 'Wisdom' finished!
Oh I know that feeling so well lol. Your Wisdom Sampler is really lovely. Emma has also been a favouite of mine. One day. So many beautiful samplers out there. - Sandra .
I do it all the time start a new one , but they all get stitched in the end , hugs.
Not much more to go Gabi. It is beautiful.
Your stitches is very beautiful !

Such a pretty sampler! It won't be long - you may even be done already. :) Emma Miles is another pretty one!
You're nearly there. Quick, hide the fabric and threads for Emma so you won't be tempted to look, touch, start!
Your Wisdom sampler is just stunning. Such beautiful colors. I have had that in my stash for years and years and have never touched it. I think that now that I've seen yours, I'm going to pull it up into the in the near future pile. It's gorgeous!
Your Wisdom Sampler is just gorgeous, Gabi! The colors and your stitching are just so pretty. You'll be done in no time! The BBD piece looks really great, too and I love Emma but let her wait a bit - Wisdom is worth it!
merveilleux ! bisous de FRANCE
