How hurtful! It makes me angry for you. You've been given some good ideas here - put it up for adoption, make smaller projects out of it, destroy it, etc. If you decide to finish it I'd be honored to add some motifs for you, or even finish it. I bet some of your other readers would stitch a medallion too. Perhaps you could turn this horrific experience around to a positive.

I'm sure that's my address as well, so we should find each other and have a party. It seems to those who have nothing better to do with their time than to sit home and stitch all day they don't "GET IT" when someone who works for a living and has a family cannot live up to their expectations, and heaven forbid that a death in the family get in the way....OMG I know that's not allowed at all. I have a couple of RRs in my house that bring a big frown to my face when I unfold them, but I plan to do the CEREMONIAL BURN on them one day. I have to send out invitations to some friends to join in and dance around the bonfire with me as they do understand what I was going thru at the time. Don't let it bring out the worst in you, cut it up if you must and make fobs, salvage what you can, or as suggested use it as a dartboard, I like that a lot.Adanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495620914021162238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14159830.post-1171054352917645912007-02-09T15:52:00.000-05:002007-02-09T15:52:00.000-05:00Wow, your second stringers are gorgeous!

RRs can bring the best - or the worst - out in our sister stitchers. I find your experience appalling, but I hope it won't put you off RRs forever.mainely stitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915498269348257624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14159830.post-1170878167542919072007-02-07T14:56:00.000-05:002007-02-07T14:56:00.000-05:00I love how you're adding the Bible verse to Tree o...I love how you're adding the Bible verse to Tree of Life, Joanie. :) What a great idea!<BR/><BR/>We just lost a dear aunt on Saturday, so I'm especially appreciative of the stories of your Aunt Jay.

Except that poor RR piece, what an awful experience for you. I think as the others have said, I would just toss it. If you still like the design, restart it fresh. <BR/><BR/>I've had only good RR experiences, I hope you give them another try one day.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12194880509630916177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14159830.post-1170684322316251372007-02-05T09:05:00.000-05:002007-02-05T09:05:00.000-05:00I love all of UFP and honestly the words about you...I love all of UFP and honestly the words about your Aunt brought tears to my eyes.

How ...I LOVE what you are doing with Tree of Life. How kewl is that? Wild Roses looks great. So sweet that you're making it a memorial piece.<BR/><BR/>About your Quaker RR, I have to ask...are you planning to finish it so you can use it as a dart board? :o) Personally, I could never finish it with that many bad memories (and that much angst) surrounding it. Have you considered letting it go? Sell it or give it away. Quakers are so popular right now, I bet you could easily find a buyer. Or rip out ALL of the stitching and use that nice piece of fabric for something fresh and new. (Mail it to me and I'll be happy to frog it for you!) It might be more cathartic to take a pair of scissors to it and cut it into nice tiny pieces. Bottom line, why keep something around that makes you angry just to look at it? Turn the page and go on to the next chapter. {{HUGS}}Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00591712058338153577noreply@blogger.com
