I keep mine at home, too. I jealously guard my projects, always have, even as a child. I started doing embroidery at about 9 and if I would show someone else to do a stitch, if they did it on my project, I would take it out. I wanted it to be all mine. I cannot explain it, I am normally a generous person, I give lots of stuff away including quilts after they are finished. Oh well, who knows?
