Hi Karen! Great video as usual! You made me laugh several times as you were showing your kitted samplers! I, too, have many of those all kitted up and ready to go! Jeannie always bugs me to start them all, but I'm like you. It would make my heart palpitate just like yours! You and I are alot alike! I do know about the debate about starting them all, but I keep telling Jeannie, if I keep starting them all, that takes away alot of time from stitching the ones I already have started! I guess the debate will never have a correct answer! I really hope to meet you someday! Keep stitching! Hugs, LeAnn😊
You make me squeal when I see your videos. I am in hog heaven when I see your incredible quilting and stitching, you inspire me. Thank you!
Thank you for that wonderful comment. I really appreciate it. Happy stitching. Best, K
Good to see you! I can see how devoting yourself to 5 days of stitching really makes a difference in your progress. I think I need to try this! Congratulations on your finishes. They all look great. You have so many projects ready to stitch; I am almost jealous! 😅 I helped my guild set up our quilt show today and can’t wait to see how the voting goes in each category tomorrow. Have a great week!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I really appreciate it. Good luck with your quilt show. I went to a local show this weekend. So much fun. Happy stitching. Best, K
Your stitching is so amazing!! I loved your Sampler kits. Your quilts are so beautiful!! I always look forward to your videos! Congrats on your Flossaversary and 4, 000 subscribers!!! Have a blast at your retreat!💗
Hi Karen! That is a beautiful collection of kits to start! It is sooooo hard to not start all the things! I’m looking forward to see you work on them. I’m trying to work my wip pile down so this month I am allowing myself one new start for every 2 finishes so that I can get my wip list down from 43 to about 25.
Hi Karen!!! Just picked up my phone and got happy. Congratulations on your new subscribers, I am sure you will meet your goal! I enjoyed your video so much. Thank you so much Karen for sharing everything with us!!!😘
Thank you so much for being a faithful follower of my channel. I really appreciate your comment. Happy stitching. Best, K
Wonderful video, Karen. I was drooling over all the kitted samplers. What a glorious collection. Happy stitching.
Sarah, I know. How will I ever get all of them stitched? So many samplers, so little time. Happy stitching, my friend. Best, K
Your framed pictures are absolutely amazing.
Great ones you've kitted up, too.
Beautiful quilts on the wall. You've got it all
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment. I love knowing that you like seeing both cross stitch and quilting. Happy stitching. Best, K
Karen...thanks for your sweet visit...loved your framed piece...beautiful samplers...enjoyed your awesome quilts...we need two weeks worth of time in one week to stitch all our kitted up projects...best wishes ❤
O my yes. Not nearly enough time to get all of these stitching. I appreciate your loyalty to my channel. See you again soon. Best, K
Oh what fun to watch and plan! There are several that I have and would love to start with you! Hannah Wallace, Amelia Trowell, Rose Cottage to name a few.😂 Have a wonderful day and thank you for all you share with us and our purses! ❤
Karen your mason jar frame was worth waiting for . It just enhances the beauty of your stitched piece as does your other framed pieces. Beautiful 5x5 stitches. Loved your parade and oh so many Gorgeous choices. O’Tannenbaum is the most Beautiful Holiday quilt - congratulations on the finished piecing.
What a wonderful comment. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your loyalty to my channel. Happy stitching. Best, K
I tried your way of lacing and like it much better than the way I have been doing it. Thank you 😊 ❤
If I already made a comment on this, ignore this one 😂
Thank you for letting me know that you found that video useful. I really appreciate the feedback. Happy stitching. Best, K
That was very weird Karen, as your first ‘new’ start - the Blackbird Halloween Owl - is the one I want to do this month. Great flosstube as usual. I’m sure you’ll get to 5,000 subscribers soon, best from Steph in Northern England
We must be on the same stitch channel. How funny. Thanks so much for your comment. Best, K
OMGosh, Karen! Please go back and watch yourself going through the basket of kitted projects. Lol! It was so much fun watching you. You were like the proverbial kid on Christmas morning. You have some beautiful projects to look forward to. The frame for Mason Jar Line-up is beautiful! Congrats on the FFO!
Janet, I know. l am a kid in a candy shop. LOL. Happy that you enjoyed the video. Happy stitching. Best, K
Hello Karen The framed pieces are beautiful not to mention your precise stitching. Love all your samplers. Thank you for sharing I enjoyed your video and happy stitching.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment. Happy stitching. Best, K
Hi Karen. Thanks for sharing my cruise sampler. I’ve enjoyed watching your progress on the mason jars and the frame choice is wonderful. I think I may have to start stitching those Beatles themed designs. Love the Octopus’ garden. Thanks for keeping me company as I stitch my September sampler sitting on my front porch on this beautiful Friday. Happy Stitching!
Thank you so much for giving me permission to share. I am a long-time Beatles fan and love that series. Happy stitching. Best, K
Oh my goodness Karen! What beautiful framed pieces! Your kitted baskets look like mine, and I purposely keep my WIPS under 10. I'm ready to start another one but change my mind daily on which one. Why is it we can be so decisive in all other areas of our life but totally a mess when choosing out next cross stitch start? I just started quilting so very interested in all you have to share there!
You are so right. I can be so determined in one area, but when it comes to making a choice of which project to pursue, I am flummoxed. I am happy to know that you love both cross stitch and quilting. Happy stitching. Best, K
Hi Karen, great to see you tonight in a cold, wet Ireland. Great to see the final framed piece after watching the lacing video 👏👏👏
Love all your projects as always.
You have so many beautiful samplers waiting in the wings. Just need more days in September 😂😂😂
Love your quilts.
Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
So happy to have you back again. Thank you for letting me know that you found the lacing video helpful. So many samplers, so little time. Happy stitching. Best, K
Your framed pieces are so pretty love the Mason jar frame.
Great WIPS & future starts.
Love those tree quilts.
Marilyn

Beautiful projects - thank you for sharing. It is always good to see you.
Thank you! 😊I love knowing that you enjoy what you see. Happy stitching. Best, K
You have so many beautiful projects both in process and kitted up. I am sure you will reach your goal of numbers by year end.
I too am a stitcher and a quilter so I enjoy all your content.
I am happy to know that you like seeing both cross stitch and quilting. Thank you for your comment. Best, K
Your framed pieces are so beautiful! Great choice of frames! I loved the kit parade! Happy stitching!
Thank you so much for your comment. I am happy that you liked what you saw. Happy stitching. Best, K
Love all you kitted up samplers! So hard to choose which to start! So many I have never seen before. Lady in Red spinning and Margaret Ferguson are now on my radar. Thanks for sharing your beautiful patterns!
Thank you so much! I am so happy to know that you saw something new. Happy stitching. Best, K
Congratulations on the additional subscribers!! Another awesome video!! Thank you!,
Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it. Happy stitching. Best, K
Loved the kit parade. You and I are cut from the same cloth. While we will have multiple wips….we have trouble starting things. I am considering a new WIPGO plan for 2025 because I missed it in 2024 but didn’t like how my wips were called some months. I guess I could have made changes but I was trying to be authentic to the game. Anyhow, my WIPGO might be WIPGRO. I plan to talk about it on my next video. Maybe saying it out loud will make me do it or maybe it will remind me of how insane my idea is. Pam
Your framed pieces are absolutely beautiful. Love the Mason jar frame. I am working on a couple samplers, trying to get the house done on Harriot Hey 1809 and Sarah Milthorp, almost done. There are so many beautiful choices for sampler September. I’m am loving how everyone is sharing what they could have stitched, so many I haven’t seen before so thank you for sharing. I know Emily C and Curious Crafters just shared their samplers. Oh the quilts are gorgeous! So many details but very beautiful! Enjoy the rest of Sampler September
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment on my video. Sampler September brings great stitching time, but also the knowledge that we have so much more that we want to stitch. See you again soon. Best, K
I love D Freitag!!! I’ve had it forever….maybe I will actually start one day 🤣🤣🤣
We are on the sam channel. Too many wonderful projects and not enough time to stitch them. Thank you so much for your comment. Happy stitching. Best, K
Love the tannenbaum quilt
Thanks. Best, K
Beautiful FFOs & WIPs! You certainly have many beautiful samplers to start in the future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilts, too!
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment on my video. I really appreciate it. Happy stitching. Best, K
Wow! Your wi eh k is so awesome! 😊
Thank you so much. Happy stitching. Best, K
Great Frames, all are Very Nice! My "plans" for Sept. keep changing ... wanting to join in more SALs. Smith Sampler is looking good!!! Nice chart parade. Mayflower by F&R will be so nice for that one. I tried to start a bunch one month, and it became overwhelming, so I think it's best to limit my New Starts / WIPs. I wanted to see a closer look on all your project bags, they are eye candy too. We don't have to know who made them, just like to see the fabric combos. Ann Kirby 1845 on Hog Bristle will be awesome. I need a circle cutter!!! Nice share, Wow on that Quilt, I'd say she'll get 1st prize!!!
Thank you for letting me know that the project bags should be shown too. I am a bit self-conscious about that because I make all of my own bags. I really appreciate your faithful following of my channel. Happy stitching. Best, K
@@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947 I enjoy seeing bags made by you & others. Just a quick full view of the bag is fun and then onto the next WIP / item.
That is the perfect frame for the mason jars!!!! I got my fair entry back…it took 2nd place. BUT the ribbon and tag was placed over the extreme damage to the frame and even the mat. How the glass didn’t break…we will never know. What disappointed me was that no one said anything. I didn’t notice the damage until I removed the ribbon! The framer isn’t sure it can be fixed..may have to start over with mat and frame. I have a few scroll rods, but refuse to buy duplicate rods…so I have a pile waiting for me to finish what’s on the rods currently. 🤦♀️
What a sad story! It is always a risk to enter items in a fair. I have been very lucky. I am so sorry that this happened to you. Scroll rods can be expensive. I have a set of three sizes. I don't intend to buy more. Happy stitching. Best, K
@@recoveringmonogamousstitch1947 The extension agent called today. The fair board has apologized and are paying for the repair, which basically is a new mat and frame! I was surprised and thankful.
Why wouldn't you use frixion pens on dark fabric? Your machine quilting is outstanding. ❤❤❤
Oh mason jar is awesome! I am so having to pick it up again. Did you use kitted fabric? But started dancer as well. Love both quilts! And the blues on barn one ❤❤
Your Tannenbaum quilt is gorgeous. Have you considered an allover pattern like Baptist fan?
Thank you for that suggestion. I will consider it. Best, K
Hey Karen, I am new to your channel and I am loving it!! What is the Christmas Tree wallhanging pattern called? It is so beautiful!!!!
Welcome to my channel. The wall hanging is Tannenbaum by Laundry Basket Quilts. There is the Christmas version and a scrappy version available as a kit from them. Hope to see you again soon. Best, K
Lots of great future projects. I am just starting using a count that requires using one thread. When you start your stitch do you use a pin stitch or a waste knot or what method?
Barbara, Great question. I only use a pin stitch if it is necessary. I usually use a waste knot. Thanks for watching. Best, K
