Greetings from needlepoint land.
I recently inventoried my ever-expanding collection of needlepoint canvases.
Fellow stitchers who heard me say that have, without exception, groaned. You probably did too. I have to admit that one of the reasons I did it was because I bought a (small!) canvas and then discovered I already had it.
I am not going to admit to the number of canvases I have. This is not a competition. (My evil twin, who accompanies me when shopping and encourages me to buy this stuff, says to tell you that I have a good chance of winning the, um, non-competition.)
Besides, I also inventoried the things I have actually finished and found that I've accomplished a whole lot more than I realized! Way to go me!
Back to the point. During this inventory I found a canvas I loved when I bought it. Now - not so much. It is even on stretcher bars and I have the threads. I just don't want to stitch it anymore.
So it's time, without guilt or regret, to make room in the collection and pass the canvas to another stitcher. One who will love it and want to stitch it now.
And it's time to go shopping.
