Ooooo! How did I miss this thread? I've been cross-stitching since I was 6 and rug hooking, creweling, and needlepointing since my teens. When ASLFRose pledged AOPi, I won an AOPi cross-stitch book on eBay and mentioned to the seller that I had a ton of daughters I hoped would rush. She sent me the pattern books for about 10 NPC sororities!
That AOPi rose was hard to do--the reds are really close to each other. Now I have to get to work on a Chi O pattern-- and maybe the other books will get used sometime in the future too!
