QOTW-Stitching and Learning

Stitching and learning
Do you know it all or is there something out in the stitching world you still want to know how to do?
What a great question!!
I would never say I know it all. There is always something new to learn. I will say I know how to make an "x" and lots of speciality stitches and whatnot but there is a lot I don't know and I would love to learn how. I would love to learn Hardanger. Yes, I can do kloster blocks, but the cutting part scares the pants off me. There is probably more I want to learn in the way of speciality stitches but off the top of my head the one thing that keeps surfacing is finishing. I would love to be able to finish ornaments the way they look in magazines. Don't get me wrong, the few ornaments I have made over the years look "nice" but I know they could be WOW. It is not that I am dumb or can't read directions, I think it has to do with my patience factor. I want quick fixes sometimes and I don't take the time needed to finish something properly. In other words, I cut corners and where my stitching is concerned, I shouldn't. After all, it takes time and patience to stitch something beautiful so it should take time and patience to finish it properly.

Now, I need to go get work done. The house is again quiet and the kids are in school and DH is at work. With any luck, I will get through the mountain of laundry and typing I need to do and then maybe, just maybe, I will have an hour or so to myself to stitch. I highly doubt it but it is nice to dream.

Have a great Monday everyone!!!!
