I justvstarted the LD sal. I'm so excited. It's my first one!
So excited to see your progress with the spinning game. I am very intrigued. Looking forward to your wip parade.
@@dianelegace4846 thankyou! You should see my pile of wips! Filming this weekend!
Do you realize there are 3 months in a quarter? Which makes 4 quarters in a year? Your plans are awesome!
I love your wheel spinning game! I'm glad to see Once Upon a Fairytale is a focus for next year 😊 Happy stitching 💜
@@LidiasLeisurelyStitching join on in with my crazy fun! Lol
Congrats on all of your beautiful finishes! I like your Wheel of Fortune Game.
@@maryannjohnson5410 Ty I think it will be fun with a twist
Hi Karla! Nice stitching! I have been doing a lot of knitting. Got to get back to stitching. The Jingle Ball helped! LOL! Rosey says hi!
Love the video! we are slacking if you truly feel you have to start a RAK. You RAK me Evergreen last year.. so we both need to add that one as a new start too.. LOL.
Oh we do! I want to start Evergreen too!!! UGH So many pretty's I want to start!! Of course we know its hard to do the RAK start a thing.. but Sheri needed a nudge! LOL
I have joined the HAED SAL... Descants... I'm not sure how much stitching I will actually get done, Making Finery is my focus piece, I am the one stitching with Corrin, I love seeing her progress!!! I have one of the animal crackers that I will stitch on perforated paper, and I hope to get them all!!!
Love your flosstube and I love the animal in that chart.
Congrats on the finish-it looks great! Definitely get a cat. They always give us a story to tell.
I 100% agree with you! I haven't had a cat in a long time.. but recently got the automatic litter box for my daughters cat.. that could be a game changer for me. I just have to keep bugging the hubby!
You're welcome! Congrats on the finish! You had a great month of stitching. I was just under 11,000 for the month.
I am so excited I am going to reach my 200,000 stitch goal for the year. as of today I am only 3,000 a way!!
Go glad to see you today! Funny you should get Drea, I've been looking at that one. Question for you about the easy count fabric - do you find the 28ct to be a lot softer than the 25ct? The piece I have of 28ct is so soft and I'm trying to figure out if it's always that way or if I just got a luck piece. You've gotten so much stitching done! I don't know how you do it! Happy stitching 💜
I am not sure... I think I have 1 project on 28 count.. it is definitely not my go- to. I prefer 25 count.. but the 28 count is soft.. just not sure if softer then 25 never gave it much thought.
Lovely to see your stitching!!! You are making great progress and it was great to hear about your retreat… animal 😉
Hey lady!! I love seeing your progress too! So glad you popped in for one of my videos.. Hubby is convinced he is some video-ographer now.... and keeps messing with the camera and lighting! Thinks I can edit all the things out! UGH!!! I hope you are getting ready for 2025 plans!
I'm stitching Huckleberry Farm 1 over 1 on 28ct... I'm stitching on the bear, top right, as I'm watching your video! Corrin told me you were starting Making Finery... I'm excited to see that... Corrin, Linda & I all started it at the same time! Yay, that you started A Tisket A Tasket... I just finished it on 28ct 1 over 1! I think you talked me into the HAED SAL... I do not stitch by page... I grab a thread & run with it... so, it will be a challenge... either I will wait until I get all the pages to start or??? I love your boards, keep sharing! I stitch events on Semi Sane Stitchers... this month we're stitching however many xx we get in, then steal a shopping bag from someone with less stitches in a day, I feel bad for stealing them, so I usually go to someone who dropped out of the game!
Love the fabric for a tisket a tasket! You made a great choice! I’m also in the Haed Sal….team “drinks on the beach”.
@@lucycraft1 nice that is the one I was debating back and forth on! Will definitely stitch it once I get my 6 pages done on the bunny!
Hey Karla, I am so glad one of us is putting stitches into Tisket a Tasket 😁 Do you have the name of the group in Ohio? I missed it in the video. Thanks!
@@disorderlystitcher yep it’s western pa eastern Ohio
Love thr spinner game. I wish I could get a fraction of what you manage to do. One day when I don't work so much. I am really interested in the HEAD sal. Thanks for mentioning it. Look forward to next time to see how many stitches you got in.😊
@@dianelegace4846 remember every stitch counts… adds up! I am fortunate most evenings my husband works and I have my weekends off and kids all grown… so I squeeze stitches in anytime I can! Don’t wait too long to jump on the haed sal! After Dec 13th. It won’t be available
I like to call them Stitch In's , LOL Wonderful video.. I love the yellow fabric on your new October start.
@@samkelly62 thankyou! I like the stitch in that is probably much more along those lines vs a retreat per se! Miss you! Have a great thanksgiving if I don’t talk with you before then!
I hope you continue to share your spinner game. I love it and am considering joining you in 2025
@@karly937 it really has helped me stay on target and focus! Plan to keep it around will be excited to hear how other folks do playing along
Yay! I'm so glad Once Upon A Fairytale is coming out! And I'm glad I enabled you with the Madame Chantilly patterns 😊 I love hearing about plans and goals so i enjoy seeing the spinner game. Happy stitching friend 💜
@@LidiasLeisurelyStitching I am asking myself if I made right choice! Not sure why but I have max color on this pattern.. feel like I am always in confetti! Considering a restart that isn’t max color
stitchy weekends as opposed to stitching retreats?
Karla, its the name printed on the scroll rod, 😂
@@suzloch3175 from what I could see I didn’t see a name… and it’s right on top of my tongue! Begins with M and used to take months for people to get them… ugh!!!
@@karlastitchingjourney I think it is a Millenium frame
YES!!!! OMG THANKYOU SISKE!!!
Nice progress in October Karla! If you can match that amount of stitches or even a little less the next two months you'll get your 200,000. I like hearing and seeing the ways you keep yourself motivated and accountable, so for me keep showing the boards and spinner game. I loved your intro. Both the music and the pictures. Love the finishes as well. So far I put my holiday/seasonal finishes away after the season is over. Something else had to come down for them to go up. I don't have any really big finishes yet so maybe that will change depending on the piece. I kind of wanted to leave Halloween Cat by Satsuma Street out longer. Take care.
Hi Karla, which team are you for the haed sal 2025? Great progress on your wips too and how did you pick your quarterly goals ?? Thank you
@@siskestitches I’m team bunny. I picked my quarterly goals by looking at my wips and deciding how much I thought was feasible to stitch on each month… I then multiplied by 4 and tried my best gauge and what I wanted to push harder then the others and bumped them up on the quarter goal. Plus having the quarter goal I don’t feel bad if I miss stitching on one for the month or go over on others.
The mystery round robin sounds fun. Any room left?
@@nikkimatthews6045 I can check with Anne wheeler and see not sure where she is! I finally picked my project yesterday
Monkey!!!
Have friends I used to stitch with when I lived in PA who also went to Villa Maria for stitching. Small world. 😊
@@lucycraft1 it is such a nice relaxing place!
I have a cake maker spinner… they are the best!
@@lucycraft1 I always struggle with cutting a big hank of silk. The cakes make me not feel so bad
Loved seeing all the WIPs - so cool that I actually got to see some of them in person 💜
That was really neat to watch! Nestor did a great job as a cameraman!!!
Always something with me 🤣
@@GailBrazell-u1x 😋
Umbrella apparatus = swift
AHH! I could not remember that name for the life of me!!! THANK YOU!
Thanks for the tutorial Karla, and for helping with my Christmas list. How do you put the hank of silk or yarn on the umbrella part? Also I love how politely your husband refused to wind the silks. Looking forward to your wrap up.
What I did to load on the umbrella (aka Swift) was hold it above the swift and then with the other hand I lift up the swift so it expands. As it takes up the looseness of the hank I can rest the hank on the swift as it expands. starts on 1 side and gently lower the silk as I raise the swift and it basically expands under the floss. Boy hope that makes sense. I can't wait to do the end of the month. It was a great stitchy month. Will probably film this Friday!
it's so great to see you again Karla. I have been quite ill for the past year and a half and I am slowly getting my mojo back. I forgot how much I enjoyed your videos. I always credited you with getting me into cross stitch when I stumbled on one of your videos ny accident. Lesleyx
Loved seeing all of your WIPS! I would leave the black off the bottom and when you finish the words I would repeat the top border. Congratulations to your daughter-that is so awesome! Will keep her in my prayers for her safety!
Dressed Monkey Dressed Monkey Dressed Monkey - she’s my fav ever. And MBs Take a Leek.
Great progress on your wips. Love the new spinning game. You sure do not do things in small proportions.😊
LOL my husband would agree.. he says I have always been over the top! But as long as I am having fun it works!
Thank you for the mention! I'm watching right after filming my own video where I mentioned you 😊 You've gotten so much done on seeking refuge! Unfortunately I'm no help at changing patterns. I agree that it makes sense to do your travel shelf by the book. I look forward to seeing it grow like that! I enjoyed watching your spinning game, I was a little disappointed to see Fairytale wasn't in it so I'm glad to hear it may come up later 😊 happy stitching 💜
Oh yes Once Upon a FairyTale will take the place of Seeking refuge. I wanted to give you and Carla a chance to get yours started. Who knew you would stitch so much straight out of the gate! Just watched your video last night. I really like your summer piece too!
@@karlastitchingjourney it will still take me a while to catch up with you!
I finished Seeking Refuge during lockdown and love it. I did do the black and flowers at the bottom. I’m glad I did because for me it gives a grounded feeling.
That is a very good point!! I do enjoy this stitch. Did you know there is a companion piece to it as well?
I stopped at the words :)
well I have to do something on the bottom.. just not liking the black.
Nice progress Karla! Love your spinning game. If I wasn't using the dice and didn't have my birthday plans for next year I'd play along with you. I'd leave off the black on the bottom and do a row of diamonds. Talk to you soon.
I would leave the bottom off and replace it with another row of diamonds to keep it balanced. Stay safe🤗🇬🇧
I think that is where I am leaning. I think another set of those green diamonds would give a good balance to the piece.
I want to try that spinning game , I was thinking of something along this line but didn't think it would work but yours I really love this
@@BethAnn1145 join along with me! Make your list of focus.. give yourself grace with a miscellaneous spot… and jump in with me to give it a try. I love having it right in front of me while I’m stitching keeps me motivated seeing my boards with the goals!
@@karlastitchingjourney I dont have room for the boards, I dont think LOL But I can easliy make a page in my planner. I need to add the stitch counts to my spinner
Love your wips can non PA and Ohio people join the group I want more challenges lol
@@BethAnn1145 absolutely! We welcome everyone!
My uncle Jimmy used to train colonels, generals back in World War II
I think you should name your monkey - Judy 💜
Beautiful pieces! Enjoyed watching…I subscribed!
WELCOME! So happy you decided to join in on my journey! I try to have a good mix of WIPS and try very hard to make some noticeable progress each month. Hopefully my new spinning game will help.
if you were married in 1992 shouldn't that be 32 years? cause thats my wedding year too.:) I like the name Tilly for the monkey
@@marthadewald664 Tilly is a cool name and my dork self can’t read my own stitches! It was 1997…. Ugh!
Thank you so much, Karla for showing my books on your stitchy chanel and for your beta reading support! 🩵🩵🩵 I am in love with your Stargazer. Looking forward to watching your progress. Inspiring! I also appreciate your feedback on the white pages. 😄 Just one of the myriad decisions an indie author struggles with. So helpful! ❤
@@d.l.lewellyn123Starlight absolutely and I love the white pages so much easier for me to read… I have passed on cream colored pages cause I can’t read well.. kindle is nice for that but dear also can cater too much and my eyes don’t get exercised. I enjoy stitching on stargazer too. It is a fun one.
It was good to catch up with you! Happy stitching 💜
Nice to see you again Karla! You made a lot of progress. I got the One Nation chart a couple months ago. I don't think it fits into next year's plans but if you want to stitch it together in 2026 let me know. Love the finishes! For the monkey how about Trudy or Ruthie?
MaryAnn I would definitely be open to a 2026 One Nation Sal with you! I am testing something new here in September.. we will need to see if it works out at the end of the month! Testing all the plans... see what works. Love the names for the monkey.. even had someone recommend Loo-cy.... LOL
