Of this one – there is really no excuse. It should have been finished years ago.
The Tired Trio by Plum Street Samplers.
Stitched on some nondescript 14CT Aida with the called for specialty floss. Start date? I think March of 2019. Looks like it should be simple? Nah – bunch of ½ and 1/4 stitches which are a pain on Aida. I didn’t know about them when I started and just didn’t want to shift fabrics. Mistake that. When I pulled it out today I started looking for what needed to be stitched. Turns out it was three small flowers, one leaf, and a few outline stitches. THIRTY STITCHES! That was effectively all.
It is done,
Earlier I had put time into The Greenhouse, and my Modern Folk Embroider piece, Since I had finished the Solar System yesterday, I had needed pull out another old WIP. And that is where it became challenging. Most of the patterns I have are digital. Near the end of last year, I had backed up most of the files and pulled the non-current ones off my computer. Now, the flipping external drives are refusing to be read. Noah has them to excavate but meanwhile, it turns out that I needed a few of those files to finish two projects (SALs).
But, and this is important, I use an off-line reader on my MAC and save just about all messages of any importance. Obviously, having an attached pattern file was important. As a result, I managed to salvage the four files needed to complete each project. I managed a couple hundred stitches into one of the two projects before deciding that reading and computer games would be much more fun…
