Before I get to the winner of my How Many WIPs giveaway, I'd like to introduce you to

| The Alphabet Club |
The Alphabet Club is an A-Z SAL created by Jo of Serendipitous Stitching and Chiara of the Grey Tail.On the first Saturday of every month, we do an alphabet letter related post; we include stitching things, of course, but also any language or custom-related items or fun facts or jokes or anything that goes with the letter of the month.
This month, being the first, is all about the letter A.
I love to stitch ALPHABETS!
Whether it's just the letters
or a single chart of letters with pictures

How many WIPs?
So, the time has come! How many WIPs/starts do I have? (I say both because some have been worked on since I started them and some haven't). There were a lot of good guesses.
The grand total as of Monday was....
147!
Yes, I'm crazy :-)No one guessed the exact number, but one came close.
The winner of the summer issue of Cross Stitch and Needlework Magazine is
Kaye of Kitten Stitching!
She guessed 153. Pretty close! Congratulations, Kaye! When you get a chance, please email your mailing address to bookworm187@earthlink.net.Thanks, everyone, for your guesses.
Thanks for reading and looking.
Blessings :-)
