    I started a counted cross stitch of the last supper in 1991. There were 47 colors or blends. I called it my worry piece. I would work on it until I started making mistakes then I'd snuggle up in the recliner with my ripple crochet throw I was also working on because I didn't have to look at it to work it.
    I like to have something easy to do when I'm to mentally drained to concentrate on 22 count cloth. ;)

    You go Girl!
    I vote with your GGM, but then I am a sick woman

    No help here either. I currently have the following in progress
    Piecing the 108x108 Civil War Quilt (I'm taking this as a class and should be finished piecing in December)
    Piecing the 97x112 Thimbleberries Quilt (also should have pieced some time in December)
    Hand quilting a 80x95 mystery quilt from last year that my LQS did (about 1/3 of the way done)
    Pieicing a pineapple quilt that I can't remember the size it will be
    Appliqueing the Hop to It (by Edita Sitar) that I am making larger that the pattern
    Appliqueing a Autumn Reflection wool wall hanging
    Paper Peicing Carol Doak's Twisting Mystery wall hanging that she is doing on her Yahoo group
    Just finished pieicing this years mystery quilt but still needs to be quilted

    And I'm sure I'm forgetting something. LOL

    On top of all of those projects I work full time
