What to do with finished projects
I was just wondering, what everyone does with finished xstitch projects,
other than the usual: picture, ornament, pillow etc., I haven't been doing this for too long, and I figure in 30 years, I won't have much wall space left, so I was hoping for a few ideas about what to do with various finished projects...both large and small.. thanks! |

Clothing, tote bags, quilts, jewelry...
If you have some storage space, you can always seasonally rotate what you display.

I got a book from Nordic Needle about "how to make your own fabric boxes". (Obviously, this is a pretty *special* group of friends!) Sue |

There other thing you could do it mount it on a chip board or one of the nicer ones you can get at some craft stores. Cheryl |

My favorite uses are tote bags, guest towels, tea cozies, egg cozies, tissue box and TP roll covers. I often combine a design with fabric pieces to make an item. For example, for a tissue box cover I make an oblong design and then sew it onto or into the fabric that actually covers the box. Hope that is clear? Rachel in Scottsdale |

Book covers - very simple to make for your journal, addresses, whatever. Think of desk sets, too. Use cheap purchased ones and cover them. For other ideas, visit http://www.justathought.net Dianne |

Well, I've still got alot of wall space left after over a decade of stitching
and framing. However, I do have alot of pieces in rotation such as Christmas and Spring pieces. I also use my mother's walls for hanging. In my job, I have a large coverage area. My employer has given me two offices.........okay that is 8 more walls. Plus another lady I work with also stitches. She has covered her office and the hallway with her pieces. I told her that she has to stay on her side of the building, that my hallway is mine and she will have to "hang" elsewhere. LOL Rhea from KY, USA |

Stash 'em in a drawer as I am sick and tired of them when finally
done. Take them back back out 2 years later and decide they're not as horrible as I thought they were when stored. Frame and place in wall rotation.
