9. I love this thread!!! I too have a 70's project unfinished!

I have a set of three needlepoint pillow patterns, which are geometric patterns. which I loved then and still like. I DID finish the first one, which is beautiful, and decided to frame it, not wanting to put on a pillow something which took so much work. The patterns are not printed on the fabric, which means following a printed pattern, counting stitches. I don't know if my eyesight will be good enough to do the two others, but I really would like to try. I've moved two times since then, and have just now unpacked all my fabric, etc.. I'm thinking about going into a more creative route with all the stuff I have, but needlepoint is something you can do while watching TV or listening to the radio, and I have all the thread which was included in the set. I don't knit or crochet, but I do like needlepoint.

If I do one more, maybe that will be enough! Good luck to all you needleworkers! Do the things you like and don't feel guilty about not finishing something.
