Needlework Stash

Current Count = 77 kits and fully kitted projects 

After the Great Sort in 2015, there were over 175 projects counting WiPs and kits, but that was just a rough count.

Total count at first "official" inventory 12/2019 = 142 projects.  

Notes:   Kit numbers do not include chart packs, partially kitted projects, 'want to kit - have pattern only' or 'future purchase'.  There are 13 projects in the "chart pack/partially kitted" section.

"Chart Packs" are patterns that come with 'extras' as part of the initial purchase price, but I have not purchased the other materials to kit the project up.   Also excluded from the 'current count' above are the items listed "For sale or trade".

The Santa ornament collection - Perforated Paper Santas designed by Sandra Cozzolino for Willmaur (WM) and Mill Hill (MH).  Purchase as needed.
