I just love your backdrop with the lovely trees and beautiful lake behind you - what a treat to have a stitching getaway in such a glorious place. I very much enjoyed seeing all the projects that you've been working on and love the Prairie Schooler Santa too. Thank you so much for another wonderful video and wishing you both a fantastic vacation away.
@@lorrainebergstrom9391 thank you so much for your sweet comment. We always find our time at the lake rejuvenating. We love how each year’s Prairie Schooler Santa is so unique. Thanks for watching and have a great week.
Wow! You ladies always amaze me! So many beautiful projects in the making! You both are making so much progress on your wips! Thank you for sharing! Happy stitching!
So great to turn TH-cam on and see you two sweet ladies had a new post up! Always a joy to see you both! Enjoy your vacation on the lake! I loved all your projects and finishes! I shop on line at The Silver Needle. Such a great shop, love their Secret Needle Night kits and Circle of Fiends Club. I hope your sweet kitties do well in their recovery. I do a lot of quilting, working on about 6 quilts right now. My cross stitch is slow, I have trouble with my eyes with small count fabrics so I stick with large counts in my older years. Amazing that you made your project bags by hand. My grandmother made my First Communion dress by hand in the 50’s. I wish my mother had kept it! As always I love seeing a new post from you two, I also enjoy your Facebook group and love that Santa chart! Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
Thanks for watching! We need to check out the Secret Needle Night Kits. Can we find out more about them on their website? It sounds very fun and exciting!
@@suncitystitchers7793Thank you for your reply. Yes, on their website you can look for The secret needle night monthly kits in their shopping section. If you live in their area you can attend the shop that evening to get you kit and have a stitch time with friends. Otherwise they will mail it to you. Their kits include fabric, all different types of specialty threads from all over the world, special made buttons and beads, needles. Always a variety of different fabrics. Often large count which I love. If you can’t find on their website just call them. They are so helpful! Good luck!
So nice to see you again. It's my goal to meet you one day. Enjoy your summertime. The lake looks beautiful, and being by it sounds wonderful. I hope the kiddies do well.
Hey from San Antonio! Love to watch. I always watch videos late at night while stitching...since I don't sleep well. Amazed at how prolific ya'll are. I don't stitch in hand, so I am much slower. God bless you both!
Thanks for watching. We think having such a variety of projects to stitch on keeps us interested. We rarely have times when we don’t stitch at all. Have a great weekend.
What a great time you 2 are having. Love all the finishes and starts and wips. I have the 2024 PS Santa pattern. It's one of my new starts this month. He's so cute! ❤
What a blessing you 2 are. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing all your beautiful stitching. It's so special that you both enjoy stitching so much. Happy stitching and enjoy your sisterly time together.
Thank you for watching! We find our time at the lake to be very rejuvenating and love coming here each summer. Have a great weekend and happy stitching!
Happy Birthday (belated) to the two of you! How wonderful to have sister time at such a summery, relaxing place! I stitch several Christmas projects throughout the year on rotation during the month as SALs with my mother via Facetime (so we are doing Jolly July by default); we are doing the 12 Days of Stockings (Annie Beez), the 12 Days of Christmas (Vivster), the 12 Days of Santas (Prairie Schooler), and an advent calendar piece from Etsy that has a nutcracker ballet them called Advent Calendar Nutcracker by Wombat Stitching; my mother is stitching hers as a sampler as charted and I am stitching mine on perforated plastic as ornaments (my first time trying the plastic vs the paper). We are also stitching one of the charts each month from the 2024 Nashville Cookbook; we just completed the Shepherd's Bush patriotic sampler. Enjoy your summer retreat and happy stitching!
@@GleefulGretchen Thank you for the wonderful comment. We love all your Christmas WIPs and we definitely want to check out the Advent calendar piece. It sounds very intriguing! How fun you FaceTime stitch with your mom. Our mom was a cross stitcher too. We always brought her a gift bag full of stitching projects when we came to visit. She left anything she didn’t like to stitch for Marlene to finish for her😉 I fully finished her items for her. Thanks for watching and sharing about your stitching! Have a great week.
Good video! I so enjoy all your stitching. You stitch so many different designs. I have a few of the same ones. My sister is a stitcher too. It's fun to stitch together. Love your kitties stories!
I so enjoy watching your videos. Hope y’all have a wonderful summer. I would love the Santa pattern. I’ve never actually done one of those and I know they are so popular.
Thanks for watching! We have just started collecting the Prairie Schooler Santa’s. They are very fun to stitch, but they don’t go quite as fast as you think they will. Happy stitching.
Just found your channel and enjoyed seeing all your stitching. Beautiful backdrop on the lake. I lived in El Paso for a time in 1966 as my dad was at Fort Bliss for schooling. I also do quilting and wool appliqué. Happy stitching!
@@deborahfitzer6877 we are so happy you found us! We have lived in El Paso since 1986. One of the school districts was recruiting teachers when Marlene and finished college. We grew up in North Dakota. It has grown and changed a lot, but we love living in El Paso! Have a great day filled with stitchy fun!
TH-cam hates me! I had to subscribe again! Thank you I am looking forward to the project. I will see you next time you are at a stitch in. So many lovely finishes. I need to finish more that have been stitched up.
Thanks for persevering and continuing to resubscribe😉We have a number of finished WIPs that need fully finishing. Most of them are ones we wanted to framed. Unless we win the lottery we need to figure something else out😂Happy stitching!
I enjoyed your video from the lake with all the work and plans. I am currently working on Nora Corbet’s Fern, so I stitched, sort of, and watched. Enjoy your future stitching. 😊
Thanks for watching! We are both hoping to get back to stitching our Nora Corbet Pixie Blossom WIPs and June Pearl Fairies soon. Have a beautiful Sunday!
You both had so many FFO’s, congratulations. I like your WIPs and Finished stitches. Oh, I cannot stitch in a car🤢 The Blue Flower stitch is pretty. I have stitched one of her designs. Such beautiful pieces!!!! Thank you both for sharing❤ I’m stitching the Marvelous Mr Meow by Satsuma Street
@@charj57 thank you for watching and leaving such a wonderful comment. We both loved stitching the Satsuma Street design! We can’t wait to stitch some others.
Your lake house is probably a serene place to get a lot of stitching done. How wonderful that you sisters have been able to keep it to share. It also sounds like it's in a spectacular location for visiting attractions, stores, and restaurants. Enjoy your time there. I hope that Charlie is able to medicate and clean Minnie's ears so that he doesn't have to keep taking her in. And poor Mickey, if has allergies, I can't imagine how uncomfortable he must be to cause him to pull his hair out. Carlene, I FFOd my Honey Faire! Yours looks great! My caramel corn was too brown to use for the flower, also, so I just used one of the yellows. You all have so many amazing projects and progress that I don't want to write paragraphs, but I look forward to your videos. See you in a couple of weeks! *Please don't count my comment in your special Prairie Schooler thing, as I know many others would really love to have the chart more than I would.* 😊
We love hearing from you! I thought maybe my dye lot of Carmel corn was old and that’s why it was so brown, I guess that is the color. I want to stitch the other ones too.
I just love watching all of your stitching progress. Enjoy your beautiful lake house! I’m stitching on Nature by Teresa Kogut and Mari Ann Copp by With Thy Needle and Thread. Happy Stitching. Thanks for another great video!
So happy to see you both, and glad you're having a great summer at the lake. Love all your stitching and always seeing your finishing, they are all so pretty.
I also like Nevermore from the JC Halloween magazine. I put Isabella Fox by Gigi R up for a while and will go back to the Rose Quaker. I am also starting my Halloween stitching but am not sure which ones yet. Thanks for another great tube!
Thanks for watching! We will probably not actually start stitching fall/Halloween until September. We are very much seasonal stitchers and we stretch out summer as long as we can😉
@@cathiepaski8085 Thank you-we find our time at the lake very rejuvenating. We don’t assign homework for each other, we each set our own goals for things we would like to get accomplished.
Sew good to see you ladies. I’m glad you’re both able to enjoy the summer. Beautiful stitching and finishes as always . I just recently started collecting prairie schooler Santa’s . I’m anxious to get started on them. Happy stitching 🧵 🪡
Thanks for watching! The Prairie Schooler Santa’s are very fun to stitch! We thought they would stitch up really fast, but they take a little longer than we expected. All of the details on each Santa makes them so unique. Happy stitching.
