Well here are my main three that I am working on finishing right now The first is my favorite, English Garden Sampler:

And of course my hubby's favorite, Jesus at 33:

And last but not least, Cherries:

I have serious issues with finishing anything! It seems like I get to the end and lose interest! :lol: Seriously my Jesus at 33 hasnt been touched in a long time... :oops:

Your projects are lovely. Why not set yourself the task of only working on your favourite one if you have done at least a little bit of work on Jesus first.

Unfortunately, I seem to have issues with tinypic, so I can't see your projects, but I'll keep trying! :lol:

Definitely finish them, they are all great in their own ways. You should set yourself a time limit to get one done then go to work on the next one and get it done too. You will soon get all of them finished I am sure if you work at it.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone! :wub: I am wondering what ya'll think about the section on the English Garden Sampler, instead of putting the alphabet replacing it with a bible verse or poem or something like that? The alphabet is very pretty but this certain piece means alot to me. So I was thinking maybe putting something meaningful there? I would be a little scared of messing it up though :thinks: I am working on the Jesus at 33 peice right now. All I have to do on that one is finish the background and some minor backstitching. That buys me some time to figure things out! :D

They're all lovely Maddy. I think putting a bible verse on the english garden one would be a really nice personal touch. You could use some graph paper to plot out the wording so it fits nicely into the available space.
Keep working on them - you'll be so pleased when they're done.

I agree, changing the alphabet to something else you like will make it more personal to you.
