So why are they rolled up in a diaper bag and not being displayed? Shame on you! ;)

I have seen boards with every color on them and the cross referance numbers of the diffrent companies. It looks like a handy thing to have for someone like you. I am not sure where you would get one though.

Holy Canoli, Beverly!!!! :shock: I thought I had a good amount of floss, then I saw Jen's pictures, which shows she has more than I do. THEN I saw what you have. Good grief, woman! Who needs Michael's or JoAnn's when we have YOU!
I have cross stitched around 30 years, and every single piece, except one, has been given away as a gift. The piece I kept was one that I worked on, sitting next to my father who was dying. I could never bring myself to give that one away.
All in all, though, I'd have to say that I definitely love quilting more than cross stitching. Maybe it's because I can see the results faster.
