Merry Fifteen

  

I really want this, but I'm not sure I can bring myself to spend $100 on it.  I've never stitched a pin-suchion like this--fifteen panels.  It is gorgeous, though.  It's an exclusive kit through The Silver Needle.  The thing is I am notorious for buying expensive designs and then taking forever to stitch and finish them.  Is anyone planning on ordering this?

It looks gorgeous, Danielle. But I can understand you thinking about purchasing it as it's really very expensive. I'm always very reluctant at these prices. I once bought one of Chateleine's mysteries together with all the silks - the most expensive thing I have ever bought. That was years ago and now it's my only real UFO because I haven't stitched on it for the last three or four years. And somehow it still doesn't appeal to me.

I think this is so pretty, but there is no way I would spend that much on such a small piece. I almost bought last year's exclusive, Scream House, but the price was ultimately too much for it too.

On the other hand, if a TW design came out that was this expensive, I probably would buy it. I guess it comes down to desire.

And I am in the same boat as Brigitte with a Chatelaine, but it has only been about 10 months since I have put mine aside. I'll get to it one day, I'd better for the price I paid.

Ok, here's the deal. Take out all your cross-stitch books, find some small Christmas patterns, find a nice biscornu pattern to get the count (there are lots of these free on the internet, design your own and save you $100 to feed the hungrey at Christmas.

Ooooh! I love this design and had not seen it yet. As tempting as it is, I just can't afford that kind of spend on one piece.

I have it reserved! I LOVE Just Nan and the pins alone are just stunning. :)

It's an interesting idea but doesn't come close to tempting me for that price. Try and resist. There's always another cool design around the corner.

It's lovely, but there's no way I would spend that much money on a small piece like that - I would spend that kind of money if there was a class, or I was learning a fabulous new technique, but a published Just Nan design? Not so much...

Thanks for all the comments everyone! It's a lovely piece and very tempting, but so far I have resisted! Usually if I can just wait a few days I can talk myself out of a project and a look around my own stash will usually yield a project similar, already purchased and paid for and most importantly Not Yet Stitched!
