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

I HAD TO BUY CHEAP READERS AT THE DOLLAR STORE TO WEAR OVER MY GLASSES, MAY LOOK LIKE A DORK, BUT HEY IT WORKS LOL I ADDED A NEW PIC OF THE ONE I'M WORKING ON NOW

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.

heres is a color picture chart

Thanks Bev! That will come in very handy! I just wish I could print it oput. Unfortunatly my printer will change the shades of the colors :(

At one time Joanns carried this folder deal with REAL floss and the color name plus number. Maybe their site has it?

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.

I love quilting when I'm alone and peaceful.. I do my cross stitch at night while watching tv.....

Cross stitch has been a love of mine. Here are a couple but pics are not so great of them. They make a DMC book with actual thread and numbers of them on the swatch.

I should get back to my cross stitch. So little time and so many fun things to do.

One of these days. LOL
