This thought has been running through my head so I thought I would throw it out here. Not sure how many cross stitchers are here but . . here's my thought:
Supposedly, Sweater Weather has 4,605 stitches. I'll know for sure when I finish it. It has been pretty easy for me to get stitched in two weeks, give or take a day or two. It wasn't hard by any means but there were a lot of stops and starts and color changes. Four stitches of this color, then 2" away, 2 stitches of that color. Something like Red Deer Sampler that a reader mentioned she's working on - that's definitely not a quick stitch (for me anyway), but it's beautiful and I do have it and would love to stitch it some day.
I was just thinking about something that's pretty but doesn't take forever - and for all of us, that probably means something different.
Would there be any interest in a monthly themed stitch along of something that is a long the lines of being finished in two weeks?
In my opinion, having something I can start and finish in a couple of weeks kind boosts my . . not energy, not self-confidence . . I don't know the word, but with so many WIPS, it's fun to have a finish every now and then.
I think the fun in this would be challenging ourselves to get something done in two weeks but honestly, if it's done by the end of the month, that would be great too. The Pinker & Punkin' blog has tons of small freebies and I think they're all so cute. She has a whole series on little salt box houses that should be super easy to stitch and I've been wanting to stitch some of them.
My feelings won't be hurt if no one wants to participate but if someone does, it could be fun to stitch with friends. Somehow stitching with friends makes me feel accountable.
