After you've been stitching a while, you can end up with odds and ends of threads. What to do? Anna has the answer—stash projects!

Anna has quite a few designs suitable for using up many colors of thread but you can also visit the free projects available online. The big thread companies have great free projects. Here is Caron's website. Besides the projects link below, look at Designer Spotlights and Online Classes to see more fun things to stitch from your stash.

Here are the free charts from Rainbow Gallery.

Finally, the Stitch of the Month projects from the American Needlepoint Guild are classics and a great way to learn while you use up excess threads. (Hopefully all the former projects will be available again soon as ANG builds out their new website.)
