The World's Oldest WIP
One of my current projects is the decluttering of the house. And a major thorn in my side has been my sewing room. Yea. I won't post a picture ...yet. But I am making progress. Garbage has been going out. Decisions were made. Things went to the thrift store. I have been finding WIP's. Lots of WIP's. You know. Works In Progress. Those projects that were started and never finished. Enter this pillow. I embroidered it 40 years ago!! Forty!! I remember what a fun project it was. Candlewicking and so many embroidery stitches. I loved it. So why did I toss it into a tote and left it there for 40 years??? Ok ... maybe because I didn't know what I wanted to do with the back. I had run across a piece of vintage pillow ticking ... and BINGO! It was going to work! So I quickly stitched that together and stuffed it. And it is ... DONE! DONE! STICK A FORK IN ME, IT'S DONE! Sorry .... I shouldn't have shouted. 😔 Now to get back to my knitting
