Another type of resolution improves our stitching skills. Here are some ideas:
Want to learn more new stitches? Make a sampler. Divide it up into 12 or 24 squares and pick a stitch dictionary to use. Go to your stash and pull threads. Once a month or once every two weeks pick a stitch that is new to you and put it in one square. Once you’ve learned it, look for places to use it.
Want to learn a new technique?Look for programs at guilds and on-line that cover the technique. Look for magazine articles. Start a project, do it long enough to learn the technique, but don’t worry about finishing it. The learning is what’s important.
Want to get better at needlepoint in general? Join your local or on-line guild and do every project that is offered. You will be astonished at how much you learn.
Want more time to stitch? Stitch for 15 minutes every day. This will help you create the habit of stitching.
By the end of the year, there’s a whole new stitching you!
