My dad was an artist and he passed in 2006. You gave me a great idea! I am going to replicate some of his art with embroidery! Thank you for the idea! Embroidering a race car is going to be a fun project!
I have no idea why The Algorithm waited twelve days to show this one to me, but I think you found an excellent plan to get those lovelies out of their box and properly enjoyed.
@@gettheetothestitchery Oh wow never thought you'd see my comment! You might not see this one but I just wanna say you're one of the main reasons I got into embroidery and sewing. I love the controlled chaos that is your channel.
We need to elevate people’s minds. I first encountered the word you didn’t say in a book about people in the woods gathering fuel for their campfire. I looked it up in the dictionary because I didn’t know the meaning. Then I came upon it learning all the stitches in my sewing machine. I never knew it was a pejorative word till I was in my 40’s. I kid you not. It’s a darn shame a perfectly good word is now used to try and denigrate a segment of humanity. We need to support each other. Ah well, I enjoyed seeing your embroidery, and this senior citizen has to get with the modern word usage.
I'm very impressed, not that you started so many projects, but that you finished so many! Wow, I'm in envy of that. Tha handwriting idea is great, I'm adding it to all the open tabs in my brain...
Perhaps consider having a rotating gallery of your embroideries on one wall. They would all get a chance to shine and you could take off the ones you aren't feeling at any time.
Well done you for keeping those perfectly good supplies out of the trash. And, oh, man, I remember those flowers. That video was invaluable to me and the embroidered patches I was making. I actually ended up using that exact carnation pattern for a patch on a satin jacket.
It’s 3:00pm on October 25th and already your auction is raking in the views and bids. Congrats on this entire process. I bet it feels so good - if not a bit daunting- to put this little project into action. Well done!
Your creativity always astounds me. Even though you says it's just taking other people's designs, it still requires vision to transfer that to another medium. We learned to embroider as children: tea towels, for our hope chests; and I have done pillow fronts and embroidery on quilts. Most difficult embroidery: I am trying to add embroidery to an heirloom quilt I made 30 years ago, which means I can't access the back of the quilt top fabric.
I found your channel because I was starting my embroidery journey. I’d been crocheting since I was a child but couldn’t anymore due to wrist injuries. I was hoping to find the same joy in thread as I did in yarn. You keep surprising me with just what embroidery can do. I love it. Every time you share something new, I get to experience the joy anew. Thank you!!!
The cruise ship supplies story is a great “in law” test. If those lovely people did that for you - that shows that they love their son, they really like you (don’t know how long you knew them or how much time you had spent with them at that point) and they are happy to see you together and aren’t passive aggressively trying to break you apart. So I’d say you are lucky in your choice of in laws. It boded well for the future. My “friendship test” was a large, very heavy, real wooden chopping board acquired in Canada when the rest of the family lived in UK. Imagine trying to fit that in the hand luggage. Got to love the “adjacent” people in your life such as best friend’s parents, nephew’s friend’s older brother - you get the idea.
I know you talked about it a bit in your stitching a life path video but I’d love to hear more about the different jobs you have had and how you moved from one to another. I’m currently having a bit of an existential crisis because I can’t picture myself working one job for the rest of my life so I’m really interested in how other people’s career paths work? So if you’re thinking about doing a chatty video like that, yes please!
The Winnie the Pooh pieces made me go "Aaaaawwww 🥹🥹🥹😍☺️" - Eeyore (ii-aah in German [pronounced ee-ah], the word for the exact sound of a donkey in German, not the word for braying) is the best of them, I love that little donkey to pieces! ❤🥹🥰🫂🫶🏻
The comment about being into variety in your stitch types and how varied stitches speak to you more than embroidery reminded me of a family friend who knits, who mentioned once that she's more into creating varied textures with a single yarn in a project than she is into colourwork, where you switch yarn colours to make a picture or pattern without varying the stitch type.
'tis the problem of being creative. You create because you enjoy the process of creating; the problem of what to do with the item once it's made. Also because you often put something of yourself into the item it then gets hard to part with. All the feels ❤
Oh my, Charlie, your generosity and sweet heart just about bowl me over! This is a beautiful, kind and meaningful thing to do, I applaud you. I knew that there were lots of reasons why I follow you and enjoy your videos and this is only one of them. You are so talented and witty and warm and altogether lovely 😊 thank you for all that you do 🩷
The Captain America Shield out of entirely french knots. I think I died. I hate french knots so much. Wishing you all the luck with getting these pieces out and what a lovely way to share with the word. Still very low priced.
So fun to see your journey through and with embroidery! Had to look up the sad quote since i also liked it and "It's happy for deep people" is from a character named Sally Sparrow in the Docter Who series 😄 And thank you for sharing your art with us through such a fun and generous idea! I stuggle a lot with letting go of things but they pile up after a while, I'm thinking I take inspiration from your idea and see what I can do where I live, help someone out and letting go of some things at the same time. Thaks for another great video! 🥰
I am not even halfway through the video and I cannot even express how much I am enjoying just going through your embroideries with you. (Also, shield logo in FRENCH KNOTS?!?! WTF??? That's crazy and impressive and amazing.)
Dang what an amazing score!! I love finding cool stuff in the garbage! I still need to fix the chipped plaster on the fancy antique picture frame I found leaning against a dumpster...
Loved seeing your projects. What you say about embroidery compared to cross stitch makes total sense. I'm stitching a few little pieces and instead of having them in hoops, I'm incorporating them into sewn project bags. That way I get to use them all the time. Maybe you would want to play with the idea of adding some of these into your garments, for example, I can totally see some of them made into the pockets on bib overalls, or outside type pockets on dresses, or even as part of a quilt. Of course I say that because I'm a quilter and quilt pattern designer, so you know....of course that's where my mind goes. Take care & have a wonderful day.
I love your random stitch collection too. Going through stitches. Wow, wool stitching is awesome. It gets better every time you pull from the box. I love the tea things.
love this soooo much!!! such a fun vid. my favs are the winnie the poo bottoms and the tea set sets are DARLING!! so inspirational!!! LOVE FROM UTAH!!!
Thank you Charlie for your video and sharing your embroidery history with us. Must have been quite nostalgic for you looking back at various times in your life through your needlework at the time. I do agree about cross stitch, I started some in early 2019 as I was at home in recovery mode from illness. I suddenly remembered why I had given it up in the 70's I got bored. I love embroidery stitches and crewel and stumpwork etc. All the variety. Your idea of an auction is wonderful if you have no interest in joining them together to quilt or make a wall hanging and I am sure it will be a great success and raise a lot of money for the charity.
When I saw the pile of unframed embroidery, it reminded me of the story of Princess Furball, who had a coat made of hundreds of different furs. You could do that with your pieces.
Man that Bargello piece has a really satisfying thunk when you put it down XD I wish my hands would let me get good at embroidery. The pain makes it really hard to get proficient at small work and I am a tense worker so satin stitch and I are never friends. I'm very impressed with your collection though XD
I'm finally watching this!! How cool! I'm very impressed with how many things you've done. I also snuck a peek at the bids and it's going so well!! I'm thrilled to see it. I love Robin Hood it was a childhood favorite for me too (I still watch it when I'm sick.) So it was cool to see those embroidered pieces. I'm happy you "dumpster dived" to get the hoops. 😁 Have a lovely day and thanks for sharing your old memories with us!
Charlie, this is SO cool. I love having this peek into your creative journey. And I so relate to the feeling of “I just want to try that to see how it works”!
As a baby embroiderer I have made one (1) piece that I keep saying l’ll finish and 3 “patches” that looked more like lumps of yarn to toss…but my family still has them! Auctioning for charity is such a good idea aswell-hope those subway maps find the perfect home
I'd bid on something but for living abroad and not wanting you to pay extortionist amounts of postage. But I'm super happy the bids are rolling in. It's a testament to your Geekdom of Sewists.
I took a bunch of my embroidery projects and sewed them together to make fabric to make a really cool jacket thingy. Every time I wear it people go nuts. I saw some patchwork wide legged pants in the Cancun airport and thought, I coulda done that too. You could unhoop some and do that with your faves.
Just a thought..Embroidery-hood of the Traveling Hoops. Any unfinished designs traded around and added to by others until it's completed! It would be neat to see something created and added to by so many people.
It's so curious! I'm into cross stitch because it's pretty and easy, it's kind of faster than regular embroidery. Plus, I don't need to memorize tons of stitches that only frustrate the hell out of me & I consider them some kind of torture that people come up with. Embroidery can be gorgeous, I am especially into needle painting visually, but the amount of patience, and time, and dedication it takes? I think I'll rather cross stitch in that time (or write, or play video games, or read, or whatever that is more productive for me). I tried both cross stitch and embroidery when I was a kid & I remember my time at an embroidery class & losing interest in it very fast. I remember looking at the patterns and telling the teacher I am not interested, she encouraged me to try anyway, and that piece got buried in my wardrobe for literally years and years. And when I was already an adult, my mom told me that I told her that I wasn't interested in it. I rediscovered cross stitch and embroidery well into my mid twenties, but it has to be specific things and patterns that I'm into and that can be hanged on my wall, creating a gallery wall. I'm into that kind of interior design choice. And I remember watching some of your tutorials not so long ago and feeling overwhelmed and how it's basically knitting on fabric and WHY would you do it to yourself, lol. But honestly, to each their own & that's great. It's great that you've found your medium. P.S.: 250 hoops! That's a lottery won in a way. Plus free needles. Great stuff. The fact that they decided to just throw it away instead of giving away or recycling through giving away? Shows you just how wasteful capitalism is. UPD: Forgot to say, the sin pieces are gorgeous. Probably one of rare cases when I think the textured embroidery really is worth it.
Love this video, so much embroidery inspiration! I have been trying to get back to embroidery but never knowing what to make. This is very helpful, thank you!
These are so great! I wish I had at least taken pictures of all the cross stitch/sewing/quilting/crochet projects I've completed! I might have also been keeping my eye out for pieces for my home. 😅
I like the idea of making quilts and putting the work on clothing. I too don't like the process of selling. I haven't embroidered in years but all of it except the learning pieces were intended for use, pillow cases, handkerchiefs and the last one was a rose I put on a dress while expecting my first child. I have been tempted to do some more flowers on clothing but haven't.
Great video, I loved seeing your progress during your embroidery journey! also the idea of replicating people's handwriting is amazing! I would never have come up with that idea on my own, I'm totally gonna do it with the pieces of handwriting of my friends and family I collect!
Randomly, my current needlepoint project is the same as the one your mom made you! It’s a kit, of course, and mine is cotton needlepoint rather than crewel. And oh yeah … love your projects, and selling everything on for charity is a great idea! 🥰
Your first project is an amazing kit; when I started, I got something way less creative and visually appealing. Would have loved to have started with something so interesting. The fingerprints were really lovely, also creative. Imagine doing them specifically for someone! LOVED the Pooh character ones - really creative! Now I have to go back and watch your embroidery tutorials, like the "fill" stitch one. Great idea with the thread weights/same flower. You have wonderful and inspirational ideas. I can imagine you taking these various pieces, much like your sashiko embroidery, and creating an amazing two-sided quilt. Something like that is an amazing "memory" and heirloom. I only started doing embroidery in 2020 (pandemic time filler!). I taught myself by watching TH-cam videos, bought all the kit and kaboodle you need, and so have a ton of materials, but don't like the boring kits. I used the kits I did to make workbags and pillows for friends and family - at least everyone got something "useful"! Now, I'd like to do pieces for myself of my own design. This video has inspired me to get at it again! And having now finished this video (I typed my comments as I watched), I'm off to ebay to look at what's available. Thank you for another inspirational and fun video!
i've been watching your videos for quite a while now, but i hadn't discovered your channel until after you stopped making embroidery content. i had never really thought about embroidery as a hobby much (i sew) but after you started making stitching and stories videos over on your second channel, i've been really interested in the idea of taking up embroidery. i have lots of needles, floss, and an embroidery hoop from a project i started a few years ago when i was eleven and never finished, but i was wondering if you have any beginner projects/tips/advice?
I think it’s always best to start with the thing that interests you the most, so with there being so many different types of embroidery, I’d consider what style or technique most draws your attention. Then do something small on your first try so it won’t take super long to finish and you can see if you really enjoy the process and the craft itself, and if you do, then go absolutely nuts!
My dad was an artist and he passed in 2006. You gave me a great idea! I am going to replicate some of his art with embroidery! Thank you for the idea! Embroidering a race car is going to be a fun project!
That's such a fantastic way to honor his work and remember him!
I have no idea why The Algorithm waited twelve days to show this one to me, but I think you found an excellent plan to get those lovelies out of their box and properly enjoyed.
Dang girl I just did the math and if this is 5 years worth of work, that means you took 6 days on average for each piece! ONLY SIX DAYS! You are SPEED
Oooo... that's a math I never thought to do, but that's craziness!
@@gettheetothestitchery Oh wow never thought you'd see my comment! You might not see this one but I just wanna say you're one of the main reasons I got into embroidery and sewing. I love the controlled chaos that is your channel.
Aw thank you, that means a lot to me!
Every time “she is beauty, she is grace” happens, my brain is over here helpfully going, “she’s Miss United States!” 😂
Me too!
I get that melody, but my brain finishes it instead with "she'll punch you in the face" 🤣🤣🤣
@@prophetessoftroy much better than the version stuck in my head, which goes “she’s beauty, she’s grace, she’s got resting bitchface”
I think "sad is like happy for deep people" is from the episode Blink of Doctor Who. It's a really excellent, creepy episode.
It is on both accounts. It’s from that episode and it’s an excellent and creepy one
Yep - that's a great episode as well because you can just watch it on it's own without needing to know anything else about Doctor Who
Came here to say this! "I like old things, they make me sad. It's happy for deep people." It's from Blink in series 3 with David Tennant!
My gateway drug into Dr Who
I never thought I will see one day an embroided version of a quite outdated metro map of my city on TH-cam. Life is full of surprises!
😅😅
Which one???
@@brooke_reiverrose2949 The one with a brown circle.

As a quilter, I have some suggestions 😂 truly a box full of beautiful art! Thank you for sharing with us.
Yes patchwork quilt please!!!
my grandma did this with some embroidery my great grandma did!!
You need to put together kits of the Shakespeare put downs. THOSE are beyond hysterical!
You could possibly redesign them yourself, and google the play scene and line

The cruise ship supplies story is a great “in law” test. If those lovely people did that for you - that shows that they love their son, they really like you (don’t know how long you knew them or how much time you had spent with them at that point) and they are happy to see you together and aren’t passive aggressively trying to break you apart. So I’d say you are lucky in your choice of in laws. It boded well for the future.

Makes me want to take up embroidery...... really don't have time for another hobby but damn its tempting
I know you talked about it a bit in your stitching a life path video but I’d love to hear more about the different jobs you have had and how you moved from one to another.

You know, you now have a Mary Poppins themed room...you may need to recreate a favorite.
The Winnie the Pooh pieces made me go "Aaaaawwww 🥹🥹🥹😍☺️" - Eeyore (ii-aah in German [pronounced ee-ah], the word for the exact sound of a donkey in German, not the word for braying) is the best of them, I love that little donkey to pieces! ❤🥹🥰🫂🫶🏻

Thanks for sharing.
I don't even embroider but I'm feeling so inspired now. You do such beautiful work.
The Captain America Shield out of entirely french knots. I think I died. I hate french knots so much.

Sweetie you should totally use all this for a blanket and cushions and clothing applique! Mix those sewing media together and show it proudly!❤
Wow, the fingerprints and insults are such a good idea 👍👍👍
WOW. 🎉 Hope you raise a bunch for Save the Children. My heart is happy that you are able to do this! ❤
The stitch explorations are amazing... Their chaos speaks to me ❤

WOW! Talk about keeping yourself busy. I was going to say the ballerina one and the toe shoe if you have a dance studio near you, they might like them
Your work is FANTASTIC. Stunning.
love this soooo much!!! such a fun vid. my favs are the winnie the poo bottoms and the tea set sets are DARLING!! so inspirational!!! LOVE FROM UTAH!!!
Great idea to "get rid" of the art pieces! I saw that everything was sold, congrats! Loved the Marry Poppins series you made! Such delicate work!
I'm watching your videos nonstop. Thank you for keeping me company all this time while I was working or cooking or eating or sewing.
Your the pocket person, that’s what I thought of when I saw all of your beautiful pocket size pieces.
Oooh! You could use one of the themes and cover a dress in pockets!!! How cute is that🤸♂️I’ll have to watch this episode again now !
Thank you Charlie for your video and sharing your embroidery history with us. Must have been quite nostalgic for you looking back at various times in your life through your needlework at the time.

Well, drats...I was in China when you posted this. Love the bargello and of course too many others!! You do good work.
It was nice 2 see all Ur work! The auction is a good idea. Love Save the Children. Be blessed. Ciao
I'm in awe of all your various series.
I do love that "back to back" Beauty and the Beast one.
I LOVE your first piece. It is so beautiful!!!! I need to find that kit. Great job. Also love your dress. Very pretty.
What a beautiful soul you are using your work and skill to benefit others. I pray your pieces raise a whole heap for Save the Children x
I'm finally watching this!! How cool! I'm very impressed with how many things you've done.
I also snuck a peek at the bids and it's going so well!! I'm thrilled to see it.
I love Robin Hood it was a childhood favorite for me too (I still watch it when I'm sick.) So it was cool to see those embroidered pieces.
I'm happy you "dumpster dived" to get the hoops.
😁
Have a lovely day and thanks for sharing your old memories with us!
Love this idea! And I lovd how you do practice pieces that actually look like something for stitch exporation. ❤
This was SO fun to watch! And the auctions look like they're going great 🙌🏻
Charlie, this is SO cool. I love having this peek into your creative journey. And I so relate to the feeling of “I just want to try that to see how it works”!
As a baby embroiderer I have made one (1) piece that I keep saying l’ll finish and 3 “patches” that looked more like lumps of yarn to toss…but my family still has them! Auctioning for charity is such a good idea aswell-hope those subway maps find the perfect home
"Sad is like happy for deep people" is from Doctor Who "Weeping Angels episode" Such a good episode
I am in love with your stitch and thread exploration and teaching pieces. ❤
Great idea, to auction them off for charity. There are quite a few lovely and fun pieces.❤❤
I'd bid on something but for living abroad and not wanting you to pay extortionist amounts of postage. But I'm super happy the bids are rolling in. It's a testament to your Geekdom of Sewists.
Oh I love the Mary Poppins pictures.
I took a bunch of my embroidery projects and sewed them together to make fabric to make a really cool jacket thingy. Every time I wear it people go nuts.

All those items are beautiful, 😃
There is a spray that you can spray the back of artist canvases with that tightens them up. I think it might be an alum derivative. Worth a shot.🤗
What a fabulous idea.❤
Love this video, so much embroidery inspiration! I have been trying to get back to embroidery but never knowing what to make. This is very helpful, thank you!
I loved seeing your show and tell! It's fun seeing your trips down memory lane as you see how much your artistic talent has grown
What an amazing collection!
Your stitching is beautiful. I would buy some of your collection. I love the waves and coffee themes so far. I am still watching.
These are so great! I wish I had at least taken pictures of all the cross stitch/sewing/quilting/crochet projects I've completed!
I might have also been keeping my eye out for pieces for my home. 😅
I like the idea of making quilts and putting the work on clothing. I too don't like the process of selling. I haven't embroidered in years but all of it except the learning pieces were intended for use, pillow cases, handkerchiefs and the last one was a rose I put on a dress while expecting my first child. I have been tempted to do some more flowers on clothing but haven't.
Great video, I loved seeing your progress during your embroidery journey! also the idea of replicating people's handwriting is amazing! I would never have come up with that idea on my own, I'm totally gonna do it with the pieces of handwriting of my friends and family I collect!
Randomly, my current needlepoint project is the same as the one your mom made you! It’s a kit, of course, and mine is cotton needlepoint rather than crewel. And oh yeah … love your projects, and selling everything on for charity is a great idea!

Oh my gosh I adore the ballerina one 😍
Your first project is an amazing kit; when I started, I got something way less creative and visually appealing. Would have loved to have started with something so interesting. The fingerprints were really lovely, also creative. Imagine doing them specifically for someone! LOVED the Pooh character ones - really creative! Now I have to go back and watch your embroidery tutorials, like the "fill" stitch one. Great idea with the thread weights/same flower. You have wonderful and inspirational ideas.
I can imagine you taking these various pieces, much like your sashiko embroidery, and creating an amazing two-sided quilt. Something like that is an amazing "memory" and heirloom.
I only started doing embroidery in 2020 (pandemic time filler!). I taught myself by watching TH-cam videos, bought all the kit and kaboodle you need, and so have a ton of materials, but don't like the boring kits. I used the kits I did to make workbags and pillows for friends and family - at least everyone got something "useful"! Now, I'd like to do pieces for myself of my own design. This video has inspired me to get at it again! And having now finished this video (I typed my comments as I watched), I'm off to ebay to look at what's available. Thank you for another inspirational and fun video!
Favorite day of the week YEA
I love the ballerinas!
I love that you donate the money to charity. ♥
If I did embroidery I would use the round frame to stitch a pizza, a tart or a clock.
A great collection!
Those neatly divided samplers are so satisfying. I first tried ribbon embroidery with polyester ribbon too, and yes wow it was awful!
It was so cool to see all of these!! You've done an impressive amount over the years! Love the auction idea!
Totally loved this video!
these are beautiful
Just placed a couple bids fingers crossed thanks for making you art work available and for you inspirational videos xox
All of those series embroidery pieces would make really cool wall tapestries.
i've been watching your videos for quite a while now, but i hadn't discovered your channel until after you stopped making embroidery content. i had never really thought about embroidery as a hobby much (i sew) but after you started making stitching and stories videos over on your second channel, i've been really interested in the idea of taking up embroidery. i have lots of needles, floss, and an embroidery hoop from a project i started a few years ago when i was eleven and never finished, but i was wondering if you have any beginner projects/tips/advice?
I think it’s always best to start with the thing that interests you the most, so with there being so many different types of embroidery, I’d consider what style or technique most draws your attention. Then do something small on your first try so it won’t take super long to finish and you can see if you really enjoy the process and the craft itself, and if you do, then go absolutely nuts!
@@gettheetothestitchery that's really helpful, thank you so much!
I love the Marry Poppins pieces! And that S.H.I.E.L.D. logo is amazing!!!!
