On my Facebook group someone asked “how do you store your WIPs? and someone replied with this picture. I had to share.
Dec2020 WIP (Work In Progress) 'Show and Tell'
Hello all! December has arrived, as has our monthly 'show and tell'. Maybe when looking at each other's stitching we'll see something new to add to our wish lists or to gift ourselves!
What have you been stitching on, or what have you completed, in recent weeks? If you like, share a photo of your project(s); if you prefer, just tell us in words.
Next project.
Trying to decide which easy project to do when Cat under Moonlight is done. For the first time I might break my rule of one easy one and a harder WIP at one time. I’m having a hard time deciding.This is one I’m considering. I don’t usually do seasonal/holiday themed projects, and no winter pictures, so this is a change for me. I think I’ll do it on a blue/gray Aida so the snow will show up better. Decisions, decisions!
Like my cat
This is the pattern I bought twice. First from Etsy, then from heaven and earth when I realized there must be a copyright issue. It reminds me of my cat. This will be my first 25 count project. I wish I could stitch faster, this is my next hard project.
Heirloom Christmas Stocking
Does this come with just the pattern? Or is it also the fabric for making the stocking and cross stitching on? I see where you can add the embroidery floss, but I wasn't sure if I needed to buy the fabric supplies on my own?
Old project -- trying to match thread
Hi, I have a very old crosstitch quilt that I've taken up working on again. I'm having a very hard time matching the floss. The original floss that came with the kit disappeared years ago. I'm sort of ordering anything that looks like it might do, and so far I've managed to come close only to one color. The colors are muted -- the DMC colors just seem too bright. Anchor seems to have the best options. Is there any sort of service where I can send samples of thread to get them matched?
What do these symbols mean?
My husband passed January 31, 2020 and I am getting back to doing some cross stitching. I finished most of Chorus Line by Valerie Pfeiffer except for a few symbols I am not sure of. I have started the outline sheet, no problems there. Thanks for looking. Lucie

My 3 jars arrived from Amazon in Germany just now and they smell perfect. They will be my Christmas treat.
