This month's topic for discussion is: "What finishing style have you never tried but would love to do?"
I can't say that there are many that I haven't tried.
I have done framing, three-dimensional (mainly boxes and ornaments but also pillows and easels/stand-ups), even banners! I can't say I've had rousing success with all of them...I still prefer a professional framer to my own handiwork and getting banners cut right, hemmed and properly lined is a pain I associate with my terrible record with making quilts (many of which have featured embroidery, although not cross-stitch)!
I have never tried using cross stitch on cards (although I have stitched on paper) and don't really see the need for that.

As per usual, I have not stitched at all this month because of my wrist/thumb injury. I am out of the splint and in to strength-building PT for at least three more weeks. I see the surgeon for the second follow-up on October 3. We shall see if the thumb will ever be "nornmal" enough to allow me to hold a hoop again...

WIPocalypse Check-In, August 25, 2019 (a few weeks late here)
This month's question was:
"What do you have on your stitching bucket list? (for example, specific projects, designers, fibers, etc)"
Well, on August 25 (the day this was supposed to be posted), I had been dealing with a cast and subsequent splint on my left hand resulting from a rupture of the flexor tendon to my left thumb on July 24 and surgery to repair said tendon on July 26. I'm still in therapy (passive exercises only) and see the surgeon on September 9 to see if the splint can be removed and active therapy. followed by stength building, can be initiated. So, clearly, I did no stitching this month!
Getting full use of my left hand with a capable left thumb is my immediate bucket list goal. And someday getting BACK to stitching is the entirety of my bucket list right now!
