Winter break of my sophomore in college, my mom picked out a Thomas Kinkade cross stitch pattern and asked me to make it for her. I made excellent progress during the break, but stalled out during the school year. My mom only asked that I finish it before I got married. In 2005, she asked that I finish it before we have our first child. Or second. Or third.
Here is the photo of the completed project SHE made me...and my slacking progress.

Mom, before I'm a grandma, I promise.
ambitious Missy, before you're a grandma will be here before you know it! :)
ReplyDeletei just finished piecing a quilt that I had started for Susanna five years ago.
my cross stitch from high school remains untouched.
but, your work so far is beautiful!
