Robber Bridegroom For the 22 day Facebook Challenge I decided to attempt to finish the remainder of page 8 on Robber Bridegroom.  I've added metallic threads to the chart. Reminder of artwork: Previous progress: Current progress!: Floss Organizer Update Version 10 It was recently brought to my attention the Floss Organizer is missing the 35 new floss colours released by DMC near the start of 2018.    I've now updated it and Version 10 is the most recent version.  This version still has the skein estimator and several other useful sections.  I will also make the link permanently available via the "Downloads" tab at the top of the page.  There is also a user guide available in the Downloads tab.  Changes to version 10: 1.

Update on the Floss Organizer If you haven’t already noticed the Floss Organizer I made has recently been revised.  I added a skein estimator, percentage calculator and fabric calculator.

Previous progress: Current progress:  Happy Stitching! xxx

If you have more than 20 projects I would suggest "saving as" on the document and renaming it, so you have multiple documents i.e. Two different documents for a total 40 project tabs, or 3 different documents for 60, etc.  (I suggest this because If you add more tabs yourself this messes the formulas up). The project tabs are located at the bottom of the spreadsheet and can be easily renamed without this effecting the functioning of the formulas (just click on the text and type in your chart title).  If you have lots of projects it may m...
