What is left you wonder? Does this woman do it all? I don't think so. Like most craftspeople, I am the master of UFOs, or UnFinished Objects. Here are some of the projects I'm working on other than the hardanger dresser scarf previously posted on July 17th, 2007.

“Friends” - a cross-stitch picture on linen I may never finish. Too many shades of pink and blue for me!

 

A Stitchery Guild sampler project from several years ago now. I have no idea how to do the stitches!

 

Cross-stitch Christmas ornaments on linen for an upcoming sale.

“Leaves”, an original design created after a round of acupuncture.  It incorporates quiliting, beadwork, insertion stitching and goldwork. This is the first real art quilt I've done – complete with goldwork and beading.

I am not happy with the insertion stitches, and will probably rip out a couple rows to redo. But that isn't what bothers me about the piece. The bottom green bar is supposed to be a row of five goldworked leaves. The goldwork leaves I'm currently working on seem to be overtaking the piece and becoming the focal point. That is not what I want. Any ideas? I am thinking of gradually reducing the amount of goldwork to each side of the main completely gold center leaf.

So there ends my creative journey at the moment. Hopefully posting these UFOs will encourage me to get cracking and finish them! 

I am looking forward to a lively continuation of my creative journey in future years. I have several projects underway and in the planning stages. I just have to stop writing this blog long enough to get to them!  So, until next time, good-bye!

THE END! (Bet you thought it would never come!LOL)
