Joanne, also from the US, gave me fabric for a beautiful log cabing quilt. The fabric is so soft, the colors beautiful and I've started it. But..... quilting (at least for me) is something that needs a lot of concentration. Not something you do with the boys helping. The last time I worked on it I noticed that I had cut the strips slightly diagonally. It annoyed me so much that I had to stop. I want it to be perfectly straight! But once I get the cabinets in my (oops, our) utility room (please note this, DH), it will be a lot easier for me to work there.... and iron our clothes.
A picture of the vintage UFO my mother started in the 60's. I have serious doubts I'll ever finish it.
The edge of the vintage UFO table cloth is very beautiful! And it has taken a lot of time, I guess. My mom should really finish it!

I'm so impressed! I think the cross stitch looks beautiful! I think you should frame it as it is. It makes an interesting artistic statement. After all, each marriage is a work of art in progress. If you ever stop working on it, it falls apart. Shouldn't a cross stitch of that marriage be continually in progress too? You could tell DH that it's symbol that your marriage will never be finished - that you'll always be working to make it better... See why I never finish projects? I can always find a way to talk myself out of them...
That is a lovely thought. I should never finish it then, we'd end up divorced. I should frame it with a needle and floss hanging from it so I could continue any time I want.
