what do you plan to do with it?

The reason I eventually finished the stitchery I talk about in the OP, is that it was always intended for my friend Don. I certainly didn't think about it very often in the decades it was put away, but it was always out there for him.

Right now I have a bunch of embroidery projects, mostly stamped pillowcases, that are intended for specific people. None of them are going to take years and years, but for me having a specific recipient in mind helps.
