Oh my. I would have fallen out and/or probably cried. Or screeched to the high heavens. Maybe all three :P I could so see my DH doing this in a "cleaning" fit, so I read him your post. He had the nerve to say that because I turn down the ear of the pages with patterns I want to stitch, he'...

This is great. Thanks for sharing!

I'd like any new starts to come from stash. I collected an awful lot of charts in 2013. A number of them are already kitted.

Congratulations on your bundle of joy!!!!
