I may have to join Year of WIPs! Love your orange dyed fabric for Its Halloween! It’s flosstubers like you that keep me out of being in a dark place with stitching! Always love your videos!
I am watching your video for the first time, thank you CZook for mentioning you. I am going to try your year of WIPS 2023. You have a lot of awesome projects going. I liked and subscribed to your video so I don’t miss you. Have a happy stitching week.
Hello Melanie! Carolyn Zook sent me and I am so glad she did! I have just picked up my needle again after many years (er decades) having recently retired. I love your shelf of project bags back there! Anyway, needless to say, I do not have an abundance of WIPs, but I love all the organizational things -- especially I love watching them from a distance LOL!! I do have a stash of kits and patterns that are not started. I'm not sure I'll suddenly start starting a gazillion of them, but I do want to hang out with your group just in case! Who knows, maybe in January I'll actually have 6 projects -- however many, maybe I can work to finish 1/2! A lot of your pieces I've never seen before! I love that "It's Halloween piece, I love the fabric too! I can't wait until you finish it -- go for it! because after all, it's all about me LOL!!
Yayyyyy I’m glad you found me! That’s awesome that you have found your desire to stitch again. I actually need to go through my WIP’s and try to renew my love for them. Thank you so much for watching and we would love to have you join the Year of WIP’s. Happy Stitching
Hi Melanie this was a great video. It was like a mini wip parade with all the projects from ABCingo. I'm a process stitcher too. I never finish anything. I think I have only fully finished maybe 5 pieces. I have an under the bed box FULL. So I'm thinking next year not only will I do 6 wips for the year of wips I'll also finish 6 pieces under the bed. Thanks for inspiring me with year of wips to get at least 3 of my pieces done. Til next time Happy Stitching. Kim
I have "Jingle All The Way" too! You are further along than I am! It's beautiful! Your "Winter Rose Manor" is pretty. I have had it for quite some time, fully kitted, not started. Beautiful stitching on all of your projects! I've actually considered purchasing a few. Looking forward to your next flosstube! Have a wonderful week-end!
I found your channel via Carolyn Zook who talked about your new “Year of WIPs” for 2023. I have subscribed and I look forward to hearing the details about that event. Hopefully it will work for me too. I am so glad that you found your stitching groove again, I always hate to hear when someone is off of their stitching hobby. Enjoy your stitching until next time………….
You really speak to my heart! I entered my own dark state around beginning of Covid and then had a series of mini strokes. I lost complete interest in stitching although it had been my lifeline since 1978! Suddenly in August I found my mojo again! ❤
What a fun video full of wips. Your jingle all the way is beautiful. I would like to see the owl forest cat finished as is, its full of personality : ) thanks for sharing your beautiful stitches!
I love the idea of the year of WIPS. I think I will choose 10 or 12 with the focus of finishing half. I have some large ones I want to get done but I think with this event and narrowing my focus on 6 projects for my WIPGO next year I think that is achievable. Thank you for giving me a focus. I too really enjoyed ABCingo and felt very accomplished and successful when it was done.
Hi Muriel! I want to get something’s finished in 2023 as well. I really need to get my WIP pile down so I can add more. Lol Thank you for watching and Happy Stitching.
Love your projects. Great idea to choose WIPs to complete next year. This is my first year to gather WIPs. Next year I will have to stitch with you to get some completions under my belt!
Hi Melanie. So I was watching Carolyn's latest episode (CZook) and she mentioned your channel and Year if WIP challenge. I had to check you out and I am glad I did. I enjoyed watching this episode. I like your idea of your challenge and I am looking forward to joining. I've been stitching for a little over a year and hearing you talk about your struggles and going into funk sometimes about your WIPs made me realize I am not alone here 😊 I have to say when it comes to borders, I am like you, sometimes I just don't like them lol but I do stitch it as I go. I don't stitch it all. To me it van get boring some times. Buy I also feel that if I don't care for a border, I just don't stitch it as long as it doesn't take away from the piece. Good luck to you and I look forward to your next videos.
Hi JoAnn! Thank you so much for watching. I was in a slump and just unsure what to do. You are definitely not alone and I’m so glad you decided to come on this journey with us. Happy Stitching
Hi Melanie! I found you by way of EJ (Sunshine Stichers) and Carolyn (CZookStitch). Love your projects. I also love your idea of Year of WIPs. Enjoy the day!
Hi Melanie, new subscriber here. Lauren at Flossibilities shouted you out and I’m so glad she did. Really enjoyed seeing your projects and hearing about your next year plans. I haven’t decided my plan for next year yet. I did my own version of WIPGO this year and that was pretty successful for me. Trouble I have is being specific about a project, if I feel I’ve got to stitch it I don’t want too!! Never did like being told what to do 😂😂😂 take care and happy stitching 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Hiiiii!! Thank you for watching and subscribing. I don’t like the feeling of having to do something either I love flexibility but I have come to realize I have to get some of my WIP’s finished. Happy Stitching
Hi Melanie, don't know where in Florida you are, but glad you're okay. Congrats on all the excellent stitching you got done in September! For your Glitter House, another option is to finish each piece individually and do the rest on 16-count so # 1 would be the same size. Kind of 6 of 1 or 1/2 dozen of another situation.
New subscriber here 👋 you have some beautiful projects, I’m very tempted by Baby it’s cold outside. Looking forward to seeing which projects you choose for your Year of Wips. Happy stitching 🧵
Hi Melanie, I’m a new subscriber to your channel and really enjoyed watching your video today. Loved all your WIPs. I’m with you on borders! I can never make up my mind about which way to go but do try to do a bit as I go along. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t! Happy stitching 😊
Hi Sally! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Borders I think will always be a back and forth thing for me. I think I got it figured out but we shall see. Happy Stitching
Your stitching is beautiful! Thank for sharing your WIPS. I hope you can figure out how to continue on Glitter Houses without switching to a new fabric. What you have completed is so pretty. Have you tried increasing your magnification? Looking forward to your next flosstube.
I really like your 2023 WIP plan and I’m looking forward to hearing how you are going to choose your projects. I’m going to look at my list and think about which 6 to pick. 🤔
I love your 25/7 idea and I like this year of wips idea! I might just join along. I have way too many unfinished projects. Hope December is finding you well!
Melanie, I just found out about your flosstibe through CZook! Excited about all the motivational plans and am looking forward to participating in some and maybe all. Looking forward to your December video. I subscribed and hit the bell so I don't mis your next flosstube. Susan Weber from Texas
Hi Melanie! I am a new subscriber. I’m going to plan on which WIPs to stitch on next year. I really enjoyed seeing all your WIPs you stitched on. I was in ABCingo too but for whatever reason missed a few days and then life happened and I stopped. I have one wip from the mid 1990’s that I need to finish!! That’s my oldest one for sure.
Carolyn (czookstitch) sent me over as she mentioned this year of wips. And I need to get some wips done. I think I can stick to this.. bringo, and the likes I don’t find I stick to as I want to stitch what I want. Same as wip go. Also I don’t know how to do a photo album on fb. Guess I need to learn! I also watch dena (half stitch x stitch) and she is always doing all these and I love it. So, I am going to join at least yours! So, new subscriber here and am going back to see some of your other videos. I really like sarahs stitchy spot and also recovering monogamous stitcher.
Always a pleasure Melanie 🤗!! Glad you had such Great success! Fantastic even !!!! Enjoyed the Stitching times I had, too Would love the to try again in January!! I plan on getting at least 3 to 5 finishes next year. Please Count me in!!🤗 Happy Stitching 💖!!!!
Hey Melanie! I am sooo happy to hear Year of wips is back and the minimum is 6 projects. I usually only have 6 as a max so I’m so happy I can join next year! Already looking toward to seeing your video on what you will choose for your year of wips. Sorry to hear your are unhappy with your fabric for the glitter cottages, if you decide to change it , maybe start on a different cottage then number 1 so you don’t feel like your repeating the stitching so soon and do the others first and leave that one to the end. It may feel newer by the time you reach it. Good luck with whatever you decide hunny and happy stitching! 🧵💗
I’m watching this vid over and over and getting excited about January!!!! Not sure how to do and show the pics in an album…so you have IG? Love your pattern choices so similar to my taste!!!
Hi Sarah, I’m so sorry I left the “how” out of my video. What you want to do is join my Facebook group Soulful Stitching and you will create album there.
Congratulations on a great month of stitching through ABCingo! You have some great projects. I'll be joining you for the "Year of Wips"; one question thought. Will/is there a separate Facebook group for that? I've never participated before, so I just want to join if there is. Hope yu and the family are well.
I got Apothecary sisters by Primrose cottage as soon as it came out. I'm gonna start it next year probably. I haven't purchased halloween town yet but I plan to. My stitching MOJO was gone for most of September I'm looking forward to stitching more in October. I have some owl forest embroidery patterns I'd like to work on and finish up some of the halloween stitching I started by Primrose cottage stitches.
I may have to join Year of WIPs! Love your orange dyed fabric for Its Halloween! It’s flosstubers like you that keep me out of being in a dark place with stitching! Always love your videos!
Yay for year of WIPs! Your changes are great. Beautiful stitching as usual! Thanks for sharing and be well!
Thank you Sharon! Happy Stitching

Thank you for watching! That’s a great suggestion but I would rather keep them all in one piece.
You are brilliant. When I took a break from stitching I gave it all away and wow o regret it. I enjoyed your video and will be back.
Awwwww you are so sweet! Thank you for the compliment and watching.

Hi Kandy! Thank you for watching!! The group that host the Year of WIP’s is the group Soulful Stitching. Everything is done there
So glad to see you! I'm there for Year of Wips. But I also enjoyed the intense YOW you hosted in 2020. I got so much done that year.
Whoo Hoo! Let’s do it
I got Apothecary sisters by Primrose cottage as soon as it came out. I'm gonna start it next year probably. I haven't purchased halloween town yet but I plan to. My stitching MOJO was gone for most of September I'm looking forward to stitching more in October. I have some owl forest embroidery patterns I'd like to work on and finish up some of the halloween stitching I started by Primrose cottage stitches.
Sounds like you are going to be a busy bee, Ilove it!!! Thank you for watching
I'm glad to hear that year of WIPs is coming back! I enjoyed it the years that I did it. Love your progress!!
Thank you for watching and Happy Stitching.
Hello. Where would I make this album at? Sounds like this should be fun and hopefully will help me finish some larger projects.
Hi Judy! You will need to join my group Soulful Stitching on Facebook and that is where everything will kick off.
This sounds interesting, are we still allowed to start stuff next year or is that not part of it
Hi Beth Ann, Sure you can start stuff new next year that is totally separate from the event.
@@thesoulfulstitcher2123 Oh awesome, I have some I could knock out of my wip pile
You need to get rid of the Liz Matthews WIP. If it doesn’t make you happy unkit and go on. Stitch what makes you happy. 😮
I may have to join Year of WIPs! Love your orange dyed fabric for Its Halloween! It’s flosstubers like you that keep me out of being in a dark place with stitching! Always love your videos!
Thank you for watching and I hope you join along!
