This could be a good time to complete any of your UnFinished Objects (UFOs) stashed away in a bottom drawer!  To help get these projects back ‘off the ground’, we have put together some Top Tips:

• To decide which UFO project to start, set aside time when you are not going to be disturbed.  It will take you some time to decide on which UFO to complete and it should be a kit which brings you joy, and not one which you did not complete for negative reasons.  Once you start embroidering again, it will initially take you longer to pick up from where you left off and to get back in to a rhythm and flow.

• Don’t rush – it’s not a race, you want to enjoy the kit you are working on which will no doubt bring back some happy memories of your time in class.

• If you can find them, revisit any notes you made during the class as they will help jog your memory.

• If you attended a class with a friend or met new ones, you could reconnect virtually.  It always helps to stitch with someone and encourage each other along the way.  Even if this means an online partner at this current time, it’s a great way of being able to help and offer ideas.

• When you finish your UFO you might like to mount your work, to offer as a gift to someone or to hang in your home.  If you are finishing pieces during our ‘Stay at Home’ period the pieces hanging will bring back memories of this unprecedented time when you perhaps dedicated more time to yourself and to your wellbeing.  We will be teaching Mounting Classes again when they are rescheduled.

• Don’t forget to share images of your pieces with us on social media.

• Happy Stitching!
