Question from the Forum - What are Your Stitching Pet Peeves?

Tuesday July 22, 2008
Miz V recently posted this question in the Forum:

"We have a lot of newbies... and I thought it would be fun to hear everyone's problem areas.

Mine is that I recently was at a friend's home and had spent a lot of time stitching a beautiful picture for her - and it was nowhere to be seen. I even excused myself to go use the restroom to see if maybe it was in a guest bedroom or hallway, but no sign of it. I was hurt as I spent many hours stitching it and if I do say so myself, it was really pretty.

I have also stitched a wedding sampler for YS and a cute picture for my sister in the past, neither of which are up on a wall. It is discouraging as I feel our hobby is an art and our work is beautiful and should be treasured. Maybe I expect too much.

Well, that's my rant - what is yours?
