This month's WIPocalypse question is:
Have you ever adopted a piece from someone else or gave up a piece to someone else? Which piece and why?
And the answer is yes, sort of...
My husband's former secretary handed me a large carrier bag with a printed needlepoint canvas of a cheetah (and DMC needlepoint yarn) which she had started but decided, for one reason or another, that she couldn't/wouldn't finish. She knew that I did needlework and thought I might like it. She said she really didn't want me to make it for her, but t keep it. She died from a brain tumor a little while after that.
Sad to say, I haven't done a thing with it and it sits in its bag.

Now, for what I have been doing this month.
We have been on "stay at home" orders here in Ohio since March 17 so I have had the time to do quite a bit of stitching. On the other hand, I came back from Indianapolis (husband's regional daylily meeting, where he was elected regional president!) with a nasty cold (we returned three days before Indiana announced its first COVID patient - theoretically all I had was a cold) so that put me off doing much of anything for the two weeks between Indianapolis and March 17! So I did not do the one stitch a day challenge this month.
But, like I said, I have stitched --- on SALs...
1. "52 Weeks of Blackwork" by Purple Peppermint; various randomly selected shades of DMC on 28ct tea-colored evenweave. Completed weekly installments Week 10 through Week 13. Week 14 comes into my mailbox April 1.
