Stitching Wish List

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but it kinda slipped my mind. Some time ago a Facebook friend of mine posted a photo album containing pics of the projects on her stitching wish list. I thought it was a great idea and I decided to share some of mine with you.

Now the "wish list" is not to be confused with the "IN basket", which consists of projects I actually have a plan to do within the near future. Some are even kitted up. Now I know some of you are saying, "So what?". Well, I don't kit my projects up until I'm ready to work on them. I hate to duplicate materials (floss) and I really hate to go looking through kitted projects for something I need right now. Hence the pile of charts in the "IN basket" ready to be kitted. Do I sound really anal? How very perceptive of you.

The wish list consists of designs that I fully intend to do sometime in my ever shortening life, but for which I have no immediate plan. Some of you may not recognize some of these charts because you may not have been born when I bought them, but some of my favorite designs are classics. (Laura, you know which ones I'm talking about.) I will try to be as complete as I can (off the top of my head) with details about titles and designers, but I am not currently sitting in my library. So bear with me. Oh, and these are in no particular order.
