Stitching Blogger's QOTW

Do you feel cross stitching requires patience?

Yes, it does. Sometimes it's hard to be patient, sometimes not. The projects that try my patience most are usually the ones meant for someone else. Earthdancer springs to mind. I have a hard time summoning the patience to work on it, not because it's difficult, but because it's going to be a gift, not hang in my home.

I've also found that small, simple pieces tend to require more patience than big or intricate pieces, bizarrely. I get bored easily if it's too simple, something a bit more difficult holds my attention better. Now, that said, I do stitch a fair amount of simple little pieces, especially halloween related ones! :)
