The Hobby of Cross Stitching Expressed as a Pie Chart

I know its totally geeky and a little silly, but I believe this pie chart is reasonably accurate to a certain degree. Of course all figures and numbers are completely non-scientific and your results may vary.

Pin it, share it, and enjoy 🙂

Happy Stitching!

    You are forgetting the percentage of time reading books/magazines about stitching, researching new patterns, and cataloging your unfinished projects!!! That’s the best part of stitching is procrastinating…

    Haha! This is too true! If you took the shopping figure down to 65% and added in Planning Next Project at 10%…you’d have my stitching life covered, lol!

    I spend a lot of time fondling my stash and doing floss tosses and planning my next project….with no real intention of actually stitching it any time soon. LOL

    I kit up my pattern, floss and material and think to myself I can stitch that up in 20 mins at the most. I don’t know what I am thinking and then when I do start another project and I have to go looking for floss in another bag. I guess the trick of the trade is to finish one project at another time.. LOL LOL

    Stitchers could easily be hoarders, LOL! I never have enough floss or fabric even though I definitely have enough floss and fabric. 😀
