I am still on block 3 of Shores - just got back to stitching on it today after a couple of days on Bramble and the Rose.When I have some decent progress I will show some pics.
I have signed up to do a course at uni - only 10 weeks but quite intensive, it's to do with work so I won't bore you with details but it will inevitably cut into my stitching time.
I saw this on another blog and thought it quite interesting. Lee has revivied the SBQ and the first question is:Suppose we say that there are two types of stitchers.
There are those who enjoy the “process” of stitching. They stitch for stitching’s sake and if something gets finished, so much the better, but it’s not necessarily the end goal. Primarily, it’s the application of needle and thread to cloth that makes them happiest.
Then there are those who are “project” stitchers. They move steadily through their projects, certainly enjoying their stitching time, but finding their greatest joy in the completed stitching.
If you had to pick one to describe yourself, which type of stitcher would you be? I imagine that we could all say that we fall somewhere in between, but really think hard about this and try to pick just one. And once you’ve decided whether you’re a Process or Project stitcher, tell us if your recognize that approach in other parts of your life
I am most definitely a "process" stitcher - I really enjoy the stitching process and finishing is not essential to my enjoyment. The only pieces I seem to finish are those intended for gifts or exchanges. Interestingly I find that this is the opposite to my approach in my professional life where i am very goal orientated. I think that the different approach to stitching helps to balance things in some way. It certainly helps to reduce the stress levels.
I am interested to see what other people think.......
