Bring 3. Pick 1.

I am so incredibly lucky to have a group of friends who love to cross-stitch. Every time we get together it is like a little slice of heaven. We are all passionate about stitching, new charts, new accessories, old charts, new thread, laughing and being positive and happy.
Recently we were able to celebrate a big birthday for Linda. We gathered at Karin's house and just had a great time. Key words are birthday cake, stash room, and fun.
As we were stitching someone told a story about a group of stitchers who had a great idea. I am stealing that idea.
Here is the scoop: at our December stitching get together at Inspired Needle we are all going to bring 3 projects. They can be works in progress or just a chart that we have but have not started.
Then everyone will vote for one of the three charts for each person. The task then will be to finish that project by the end of 2011! Isn't that so much fun!!!!
I vow to document the day with pictures of all of our choices and the winning projects.
Hence, the title of this post "Bring 3, pick 1!" Half the fun is going through my stash to pick which three projects I bring!!!

What a fun idea!!!! I am going to suggest it to my little group too. Or maybe I could send a list of my three with Karin and you all could decide on a project for me ;-).

That's a really cool idea! The focus should help get some things finished! (Says the queen of UFOs.)
