Isn't Google wonderful? Anyway, a friend of mine is writing a newsletter for the Rocky Mtn. Region of EGA & she wants to do a newsletter to our members about stitching hints, ideas, thoughts & tips. I am wondering if you would allow<BR/>her to reprint your article in that newsletter in whole & giving you the credit for writing it? She would really be grateful if she can. And it in no way would be for profit or sold or anything like that. Just let me know & here is my email address so you can notify us. Thank you so much for your thoughts on a neverending issue all of us stitchers face.<BR/><BR/>Jean<BR/>jeandeh@juno.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389145368102563139.post-20862215170374536132008-07-18T19:56:00.000-04:002008-07-18T19:56:00.000-04:00Loved your comment on mine today - you can do it!!...Loved your comment on mine today - you can do it!! the CQ designing.

Thank you for such a comprehensive entry on rotations! I looked for something like this forever until I developed my very own rotation steps: 1) Plan rotation carefully for days and days and days 2) Go to Target to buy new containers for new rotation categories 3) Organize organize organize for days and days and days 4) Start carefully thought out and planned rotation 5) Do it for fifteen minutes and realize that this rotation simply won't work. 6) Fret fret fret fret fret 7) Gripe to sister who told you not to start a rotation in the first damn place 8) Lather, rinse, repeat.Conihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019863597169674976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389145368102563139.post-51008654753168670052008-07-14T12:08:00.000-04:002008-07-14T12:08:00.000-04:00Wowzers!

I switch back and forth on a daily basis, depending on my mood.

Usually I finish a section before rotating.<BR/><BR/>Let's say that I am working on project A, then I will complete a section before moving on to project B and it does not matter if it takes me one, two, three days to do so.<BR/><BR/>After that section is done, I look around and decide which other project that I have around me that I feel like working on that day.<BR/><BR/>What happens with this system of mine is that I am usually working on a project like I feel like working on, but that also means that some projects are not being worked on for long periods of time until I feel like working on them. In the end, there always come a day where I say, today is the day to work on that project that I may not have touched for a couple of months. It does not look like a real rotation system now, does it? (ROFL) It does keep me a happy stitcher though, which is the main thing and I also end up finishing lots of projects in any given year. <BR/><BR/>Pierrette =^..^=Love to Stitch 99https://www.blogger.com/profile/08717611751588945815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4389145368102563139.post-33874950271054969552008-07-12T03:55:00.000-04:002008-07-12T03:55:00.000-04:00That was a very complete and non-threatening discu...That was a very complete and non-threatening discussion of rotation stitching. Too bad it will never work for me. <BR/><BR/>I travel too much and live in different places. There are certain projects that do not travel, so even if their "time" came up I might not have them with me in order to work on them. Conversely, I need a certain amount of "small" projects that I can stitch on planes. Once the plane lands, I may or may not stitch on them again. The only thing that seems to be working for me is Yearly Goals. Could you call that a yearly rotation? At least it keeps me focused on what I want to stitch and keeps me from starting too many new large projects. Although I think I may have been a bit too conservative this year and could have put a few more things on my yearly list. Next year the list will be longer.<BR/><BR/>Though I do agree that I also find myself stitching a certain amount so that the next blog post can <B>show</B> some progress. :-)Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968531508224415029noreply@blogger.com
