The wonderful thing about projects you don't want to finish is that you
feel no guilt or loss about passing them on to someone else who might
appreciate working on it. Projects like this are a great way to introduce
new friends to the joys of cross stitching. This is how I got my mum hooked
on needlework. (And a few other friends !!!) One friend said she
particularly liked picking up my unfinished work because when she carried
it around with her, ppl always thought it was hers and that gave her a kick
and added inspriration to finish it.
