Do you ever get to a point working on a project that you’ve had for so long, you start to wonder what possessed you to start it in the firstplace?
Yes. I felt that way earlier this year with “Fish City” by Stoney Creek. I finally set it aside earlier this year, deciding that I wouldn’t put any more time into it until I wanted to. Well, I picked it up again last night, and at least for now I’ll continue working on it. I still don’t know where I’ll put it once it’s done, but I think I’ve got a few years to figure that out. I’ve been finishing about a page per year, so at that rate it’ll be done in 12 years or so.

BTW – your magazines were mailed yesterday : )
[...] quick stitch, which was just what I needed. I actually feel ready to get back to stitching some on Fish City, which I think I might do tonight. I’ve got to tidy up my stitching bag first; it gets so [...]
