Hey Nate - well I assumed Catherine was going to get done by now - but some of her fellow wives have been pushed waay back down the line. I still love them and want them on the walls but they're a bit simplistic for my tastes right at the moment.
Rosebud and Old Woman are on Aida which I don't like for fractional stitches anymore and Fantasy was part of an RR and I feel a bit depressed about finishing that off on my own.
I thought if I listed them here - they might push me into thinking about them whenever a slot opened up in my rotation.
Funnily enough....there's the two RR's that Paula didn't manage to work on....would be nice to have the cat one finished off......and by a good friend too..... Eep, aida though....after all, my RR's are from 1997 and 1998.....
I'm so glad we talked! It's weird, you sound just like my cousin Isabel but with an Aussie accent. Too cool.
I'm happy to do a swap - I'll work on the cat one for you! Just as long as its not the cat design mum is doing in secret for me :) Hey my two ELTWIPS are both on Aida !!! We all went through an Aida stage at some point in our careers :)
I'm still bouncing around work from your phone call - it was sooo kewl !!! Its great knowing your voice now so now when I read your posts I can hear your voice too!
So what ELTWIP is that ??? And I can do the cat one ... that's what I did with my Fantasy RR - just sent the fabbie and everyone chose a chart out of their own stash for the theme. Oh that's right I did send around a few pages for those who didn't have Fantasy in their stash ...
Ah yes the border - haven't figured out *what* do to with them !!!! The black is too stark and detracts from the designs.
I was thinking of pulling it out and replacing it with a simpler chain style motif in a variegated floss - say a blue-green or green-purple or something like that .... haven't gotten any further than thinking about it yet .... hmm might have a play after I finish this week's section and upload my update tonight. Any thoughts? Anyone?
Hmm I like the idea of a variageted blue/green border maybe something simpler like a simple one line stitched round but because of the variagation it will blend.
I don't mind this one and would be happy to finish it for you and return it to you. I have quite a few Imaginating designs. Contact me off list if you like. Debbie
Debbie, thanks so much for your generous offer - Rosebuds will be going around the world as part of a small UFO RR shortly. Thank you for the offer - but the girls got in before you :)
Can I keep you in mind if I get similarly bogged down on the companion piece - While ye May ? ? ? {grin}
I'll send this one around if/when Rosebuds get finished .... so this year or next. I can see the end in sight for my ELTWIPs - what a liberating experience !!!!
Hmm - but then again there's still my wool tapestry and Mystery IX so no happy dancing on these just yet :)
Multiply is weird like that sometimes - and its weird to come into a conversation so late - and you think "oh dear I hope they didn't think I had been ignoring them because I've been chatting on other threads and not this one" Well *I* get that paranoid anyway :)

Wow Mel, some of these are really far along!
What exactly is an ELTWIP?
Extremely Long Term Work In Progress

If you want this to have another person on it, I'd be happy to do a section...not as part of the UFO RR, just as ...
If you really really want to ........ let me know when and I'll send it out - do you have anything similar I could work on for you?

That's the same thing I do.....I hear the person's voice when I read a post! Neat. I wonder how many times you heard my accent change? LOL.
Nah, my aida RR, choose any cat you like...it's one where I didn't send charts or floss round with it at all. None of us did.
I do have one aida ELTWIP but I don't think I even want it worked on. I may change my mind someday.....

About as many times as you heard mine !!!!! {LOL}
Mel - I could do another Fantasy Bear on this if you wanted - maybe after Claire has done another section!
Oh wow! Do you have an uncompleted RR that I could work on a section for you in return?
well I could send out the Zodiac Cats! That should have had 8 sections completed and it came back with 3 done (one of which I had done!)
Done !!!! Well there's one space left - anyone else volunteering {LOL}
More to the point Mel - what about the blackwork section separators!
ok I finally figured this one out! it isn't some archaic language or maybe Elven but the photo is upside down LOL
{ROTFL} Ooops !!!!! I'll rectify that now ..... {blush}

Behind again on the lists -- as usual !!!!!

Have you decided which ELTWIP is going to be worked on Mel? all of them look good and I am sure you want them finishing off!

You certainly can!!
This is better - are you thinking about sending this one round as well?

Hmm - but then again there's still my wool tapestry and Mystery IX so no happy dancing on these just yet :)
I know what you mean! along with the one's that I photographed on my site there is also Celtic Summer, Above the Clouds and Element Dragons!
Still getting a couple cleared away would be wonderful!
Somehow this thread never popped on on my message board over the weekend.. at least I see where y'all got talking about a UFO RR...{G}
