Alas, I subscribe to the "personal hell" philosophy - where true hell is crafted out of your own fears and anxieties - multiplied minion-fold....So, for me, having 51 unfinished projects would not be hellish, you see - I would bask in the happiness of knowing I had completed stitching 51 things!!! Perhaps that is why I am so non-proflific....?? Anywho - my offer still stands - send me a few and I'll (eventually) finish them and send (most) of them back. ;o) Smiles & Devilish Hugs ~ RobinTheCrankyCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314851714923955216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-56070421894677700512012-10-13T16:05:42.012-04:002012-10-13T16:05:42.012-04:00Yes, french knots are hellish!

I hate finishing and I don't sew, so you know that I have a pile too. For a couple of years I just spent November focused on finishing.
