What do you do with your completed patterns?

I have so many patterns I want to make, but only so much wall space! What do you usually do with your finished projects?
I figured you could sew them on to a shirt or something? I've heard waste canvas is hard to work with, so I mean cutting the aida and sewing it on that way. I love the small count plastic canvas keychains! Definitely going to take advantage of that. ^.^
Any other ideas?

Pillows (or cushions as we call them in the UK!) are always a good thing to make and really easy too. Scented sachets are nice too and make good gifts. Small bags and pouches are also good!
With waste or soluable canvas you can pretty much stitch on to anything like t shirts and bags etc

Plastic canvas is fun and you can use it for keyrings, badges, ornaments and even make 3d stuff too!

There is one thing I have that BMH didn't mention.
I used to store everything wrapped in acid free paper, then I have a quick gift if required. This was back when I had time to sew and made too much =) I found this useful for things like cards etc. That is just me though...

Get a bigger place with more wall space!

You could also try making a collage out of all your squares and mounting it inside a large frame. This would take up less surface area than a bunch of separate frames, not to mention look super-dee-dooper cool!
