Incoherent Scribblings

After the Stitching is Done

Today’s SBQ was suggested by Cheryl and when I had a look through my archives, I see that this question (albeit in another form) was the very first SBQ that I asked. However, since many members probably never had a chance to answer it I decided I would go ahead and post it again.

What do you do with your charts once you’ve stitched them? Do you keep them or dispose of them? If you keep them, do you organize them in a way that is different from the way you keep your unstitched charts?

Currently I still have all of the charts that I have stitched. They are not organized any differently than the ones that I have not yet stitched, but they do have a note in my spreadsheet that indicates that I have stitched them.

That being said, I must say that I am much less attached to the charts that I have already stitched than I used to be. I used to be afraid to get rid of anything because of that one in a million chance that I might stitch it again. I now know that once I stitch something it is very unlikely that I will stitch it again, so if someone were to offer up a trade for one of the patterns that I have already done I would be sure to consider it.
