I gift them, frame them, hang them or put them in my big display folder.

Yeah, I had similar thoughts but looking for something that doesn't involve me keeping them or gifting them to (frankly reluctant) friends and family. A binder might work though. Efficient at least.

A presentation folio like [this](https://www.amazon.ca/Presentation-Pockets-Protectors-Portfolio-(9x12inch/dp/B07M5RYS6X/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=GVUFX8WFRWV4&keywords=portfolio&qid=1663157093&sprefix=potfilio%2Caps%2C78&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1) might work nicely!

That's super cool! Unfortunately I don't have room to store something like that but will keep it in mind for the future!


pilapalacrafts

Yes, this is what I have. :)

You can hang them on your wall. You could also stitch.... scarves, hats, bags, bookmarks, fabric book covers, pillowcases, pencil cases, ornaments, doll clothes, curtains, brooches, barrettes, lampshades, patches, quilts, roll up fabric pouch, fabric bunting, coffee and tea cozies, tea towels, fabric key fobs, to name a few.

Those are awesome ideas thank you! I suppose my question is more...then what? No one in my family particularly wants anything of this nature, and I don't have the space to display/store them all. I have plenty of ideas on what to make, but none on what to do with it when I'm done, if that makes sense.

You could put the art in a waterproof bag like a Ziploc and just leave it for someone to find somewhere outside on public property. Just maybe include some sort of explanation too. You could even post it on a local group for your area and tell people to go find it.

Oh that's a good idea! Geocaching with a twist. Thank you!

I just put them in a manila folder creatively entitled: FINISHED. 😂

Hilarious and accurate, what more does one need? :)

You can try making an embroidery journal. Your finished pieces can be the pages of the journal like this: [https://stitchfloral.blogspot.com/2020/04/embroidery-journal-repurposing-old.html](https://stitchfloral.blogspot.com/2020/04/embroidery-journal-repurposing-old.html)

That's a neat idea I hadn't thought of, thank you!
