I store my floss in the same type bags and have never had a problem. I am hoping that someone can tell me of a site that is about stamped cross stitch. I love doing that and would like to have more ideas from ladies who do the same.

As for storage, all my ancient sewing stuff has been in plastic containers for decades with no ill effects. I even have some very old embroidery thresd from a great aunt that was in plastic grocery bags & it has held up fine.<BR/><BR/>I think the beautiful UFO star blocks would look great in anything.Julie in the Barnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147114606468287519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21492635.post-11277276651766339712008-06-24T03:10:00.000-04:002008-06-24T03:10:00.000-04:00I really like the blocks but if you don't feel mot...I really like the blocks but if you don't feel motivated, chances are they are orphans. I have a selection of those myself.<BR/><BR/>Don't you just love all those colors of floss laid out like that?

As long as it's not in direct sun, a lot of years would be needed to do any damage.<BR/>As for the UFO, I'd vote to add the blocks to the "orphan pile" and put the fabric back in stash.<BR/>The closet looks much better after you worked on it...good job!
