Welcome everyone! We meet here on Sundays to celebrate hand stitching in all its forms.
Today I must publicly confess that I am suffering from a bad case of startitious! Everyday I want to start something new (says the creative part of me) but it is really not a good idea (says the logical part of me). I started 4 new stitches this week and forgot all about my June goals. Is it because the summer weather has arrived? Is is an innate response to having survived another winter? What is going on?
Yesterday I started this project called "Kind Words Cost Nothing" by Modern Folk Embroidery. I love it so much that I put 300 stitches into it before I could do anything else. It's so beautiful and I love it!
It just so happened that the beginning of the text are my initials so I stitched that right away. Also I was trying to count my way over to stitch the birds of course!
But even while I was stitching this beautiful project, I was thinking about what else I was going to start this weekend. Craziness! What do you do when this happens to you?
Please share your hand stitching projects with us. Do you find yourself starting more thing these days, or is it just me?

Can't wait to see the "Kind Words Cost Nothing" project. Love that pink!
I'm not starting any new projects in June, there's too much outside work and I love it! I do want to start prepping an applique project to start in the New Year. Enjoy your stitching!
I can see why you wanted to start that one, Kathy - it's lovely! My feeling about start-itis is that you just have to go with it. đŸ˜˜ A few stitches at a time on each one and you'll have a finish! Have a wonderful Sunday!
Very pretty new project. I really like the white on the pink. I've been sticking to my plan to work on UFOs during 2nd quarter. But the desire to start something new is still there, brewing in the background. Fingers crossed i can hold it off till 4th quarter!
This made me laugh! I guess we all suffer from that complaint.....well I know I do! Sarah quiltingbythesea
I too am afflicted by startitis... I went and picked back up a WIP but the same day I kitted up a Thanksgiving project and and found a Halloween piece that I gotta stitch... there just aren't enough hours in the day...LOL...happy stitching-... I can see why you had to start that piece.
