I’m working on a new banner for my sewing room!
First, I stabilized around the center squares. Next, I stitched in the ditch around all of the letters.
Then it was time to tackle the borders.
The wide, solid colored border just begged for a little “Divide and Conquer”!
I decided to add a fancy “frame” around the center rectangle to soften the edges.
Instead of just stitching the “frame”, I used the String of Pearls motif to add a little more interest to the line.
I added a cluster of flowers at each corner…
And now I’m not sure what to do next…
Fill in with more flowers…
Switch to a different design…
Leave the inner frame area “open”?
For now I will just give it a rest…
But sometimes you just have to make a decision and go for it because…
I know myself.
In the guise of “considering my design choices”, I can procrastinate my way into another UFO!!!
I know…I will set a deadline.
I will finish this by Friday and YOU will hold me accountable!
What about YOU?
What do YOU do when a project stalls?
How do YOU jump-start a project?
We’d LOVE to hear!
