Brenda, enjoy your retirement! Love the wide variety of projects in fabric, thread and style. My favorite is the monthly house series. Oh my! It sings to my heart. Celebrate and be grateful for the wonderful gifts God has given you so you can share with us!
Thank You Kathe!! The gift of stitching has been such a blessing in my life :)
Happy retirement Brenda. Thank you for this video and the Maynia catch up - I have watched them back to back while working on Dark Queen of the Sea by Autumn Lane. I am still only on part 4!! Your stitching is beautiful. I can only dream of stitching on 46 count - I barely manage 36. Thanks again and happy stitching.
Thank You Susan! Ohhhhh, that dark queen is soo gorgeous :)
Love all the projects and hearing the rain. Your choices of colours is always so great.❤ oh wow! All the parked threads on your 4 seasons! I park but never had that many!😅 oh that hilltop village is cute. Oh and you don’t like repetition, how kind of her!❤
Isn’t retirement grand? I just LOVE it! Congratulations to you and Happy Stitching! 🧵🪡
I always enjoy and appreciate the progress you make on all of your stitching projects. The assortment is so varied that it makes your Flosstubes go by very quickly. Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us. Jacque 🐑
Thank You Jacque! And yes, I am already LOVING being retired :)
Happy retirement! It was nice to see you back on flosstube. Gorgeous stitching as always!😊
Thank You Maureen!
Congratulations on Retirement! That is fantastic! Just starting to get into cross stitching again after many years. Your work is amazing. No idea how you keep up with all of it!! and how do you remember all the WIPs you have going on! So good! Happy stitching!
Thank You Lara!! So happy you are getting back into cross stitching!! I keep a list of my WIPs in my bullet journal and refer to it often, lol! And I have a magnet board with a small strip magnet for each WIP.
I can't believe after all the years I've watched Colette I've only just now found your channel. Happy retirement! Your pieces are amazing. So many I've never seen before.
Hi Jennie! LOL, so glad you found me! I love Colette and her channel, we have been stitching friends for something like 15 years :)
Happy retirement! I’m so happy for you and just a wee bit jealous. (I’m still a few years away yet) 😊 I think I’ve decided that you must never sleep because you get soooo much done! I just love all your projects and am limping along behind you in many of them. Thanks for sharing all the things. Hugs! ❤
I loved seeing all,your wips. I am so glad you had a good time at srirch con.
So good to see you. Happy Retirement. You not only will stitch so much, you will be busy, so busy you will think how did you get anything done while you were working! Really, you will see. Mainly, enjoy yourself, you deserve it, you earned it. Your stitching is amazing. See you again real soon.
Thank You!!
Happy retirement. So happy we will be seeing more of you. 🇦🇺🦘❤
Thank You Maureen!
As ALWAYS a super great progress on your WIPS and new starts! CONGRATULATIONS on your RETIREMENT!! It is a beautiful feeling to experience. Go and come as you please...stitch anytime!! Hopefully I will get into Stitch Con 2025. Hope to see you and Collett!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2024!!
HELLO KAREN!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haved missed seeing you lately!!! I am loving retirement!! And yes, I hope to see you in 2025!!!!! :)
Congrats on your retirement! What a way to celebrate by going to StitchCon. Love your little house montage…haven’t seen anyone else do them that way. The colors just bounce off each other…great job!
Congratulations on your retirement! I agree. It's the best!! Love your stitching. So many beautiful projects, beautifully stitched. I also like those Liz Matthew two-fabric house pieces but the putting together of two fabrics feels overwhelming. I'm hoping someone does a tutorial. I also purchased the by the sea patterns by Jeanette Douglas. They are so beautiful but also full of more complex stitching than I expected. I'm going to have to work up to those. Will love to see yours as you get going on them. Happy stitch-y retirement!
Thank You Kathy! Yes, attaching the two pieces of fabric will be a little fussy :) I love Jeanette Douglas! And yes, she is always a challenge for me but I love the effect :)
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Great to see you and wishing you a very Happy Retirement 🎉 I’ve just finished Sweet Summertime and it was such a fun stitch that I have its companion piece, Watermelon Crawl kitted up. On a side note I also have an Elan stand, which I love, and thanks to one of your videos I’ve recently ordered scroll rods from them. I may have to order the floor stand as they will stop production for it in July as they gear up for retirement and decrease their product line 😢 Happy Stitching!
Thank You Erica! I am loving working on Sweet Summertime!!! So happy to meet someone else who loved it as well. Watermelon Crawl is just as beautiful! So glad you like the Elan stand as well! I am happy they are able to slow down, but sad they are decreasing their product line as well :)
Thank you for video. You worked on lots of things outside of StitchMaynia. You are going to have such fun in your retirement, stitching. I forsee alot of new starts. Stitch-Con sounded fabulous! Take care and happy stitching!
Thank You Christine!! I am trying to not go crazy with new starts, but it is hard!!!! LOL
What a wonderful way to celebrate retirement! So many great projects, thanks for sharing your wonderful work!
Thank You Sandy!
Congratulations on your retirement!! 🎉 your wide variety of projects is inspiring as always!! Thank you!
Thank You Emily!
Brenda, can you do a show on your fav tools: scissors, needles, ripper, etc. how did you transition to the 46+ count fabric? I have just done my first sample on even weave and am scared to death. A gift suggestion for your daughters: coffee mugs that say “ I’m not Bossy. I am aggressively helpful”. Does your hubby know he is married to the Taylor Swift of Floss tube? Looking forward to more videos now that you are retired.
I think your amazing can’t imagine you doing more stitching than you already do . WOW wishing you the best retirement ever
Thank You!!
Hi Brenda I loved seeing your WIP's and finishes. May was a busy month for me because I went to Indiana to see my granddaughter graduate from High school. In her class that graduated was 1360.00 students. It was 3 1/2 hours. Whew!!! She will be going to Ball University in Indiana in Art. So I have been behind in floss tube and trying to get caught up. When I got back I have been working on my 33 new starts this year and added 4 more May new starts that I do with Dena of Half cross stitch and will be working with her in July new starts only on Christmas stitching and I have about 11 projects kitted up. So I will have about a total of 47 to 50 projects this year. I have never done that many in a year so this is my first actual WIP's but I am loving it so much. I am happy you enjoyed Con stitch and love the patterns and the trinkets. I always look forward to seeing you and when I do complete some of them I will send you a picture of my progress. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless
Pat
Hi Pat! Wow, that is a lot of WIPs! But it sounds so fun!!!!!!! Congrats to your granddaughter!
Congratulations on your retirement! You’re such an incredible stitcher. Even though I don’t stitch a lot of the same things you do I love seeing all of your massive projects. You much be a super speedy stitcher! 😊
Thank You Stephanie!
Thank you for sharing all of your stitching. You get so much accomplished. StitchCon sounds amazing and you certainly showed us what it was like. Thank you!
You are welcome Desiree!
❤. Welcome to Retirment Brenda!! It’s a wonderful adventure! I love your retirement start!
Thank You!!
Great to see you back! I am binging watching your last few videos and enjoying your hail in Australia's winter lol. I love your project wall, and your project progress. Especially loving how Pandemic is taking shape. Are you backstitching all the motifs or only where backstitching is charted? Ooh, i just ordered the Matter in Hand project from 123 stitch. Hopefully I get it in time to work on it! I wanted to make a project mat out of it for work/vacation stitching... and if the 2026 retreat in Australia is not during exam/interview season then maybe that.
Congratulations on your retirement, the blanket is going to be beautiful.
Thank You Vi!!
Beautiful projects and progress. It was so nice to see you at Stitch Con, Brenda. My sister in law and I just love you. We now have four years of pictures with you 💕 Enjoy your retirement! ❤️🌺💕🌷
Thank You Kimberly!!! I am so glad we have been able to meet for four years now!!!
@@Handworkmaniac 💕
Congrats on your retirement! I am almost there, too.
Thank You Donna! And so happy for you as well!!
Welcome back,wonderful to see you again.
Thank You Cathy!
Congrats on your retirement! I just watched both of your latest videos. Fantastic stitching! You've got a lot of gorgeous projects. Your finish is cute on the higher count fabric. ❤
Thank You Judy!
Merci beaucoup pour votre vidéo tous vos projets sont magnifiques 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank You Carole!
I like your style, interesting choice of patterns, congrats on your retirement 🧵🪡🌸
Thank You Krystina!
Congratulations on your retirement! Enjoy your extra stitchy time 😊
Thank You Jenny!
Happy retirement🎉 Your stitching is perfection💜
Thank You Rose!
How fun to see the Electric Light Parade! I asked Colette at Stitch-Con how that project was going...
Thank You Becky! I figured it was about time to get it out again, lol!!
❤❤❤
Thank You Karen!
That Pandemic Sampler is gorgeous. Congratulations on your retirement journey.
Thank You Pam!
A bit late watching but...already struck by the afghan piece. Who in their right mind would design an afghan -- essentially for cozying up under or taking a nap under or maybe even pic-nicking on -- with *beads* on it?! I'm gob-smacked!
Again, congrats on your retirement! I have questions 😊 How will your rotation change now that you are retired and how many hours a day do you think you'll stitch? Also, you have alot of projects (as do I) Do you stitch them having in mind where you will put them in your house or do you just stitch them for the pleasure of doing so? I think I stitch for the pleasure of it...I mean realistically where would I put all 52 of my WIPs in my house if they were miraculously finished?? 😂😂😂
Thank You Melodee! I am hoping to add a few morning pieces to my rotation, and more hours on each piece in the afternoon/evening slots. I am still kind of playing around to find a good schedule. I am hoping to get at least 8 hours of stitching in a day, lol! I rarely stitch a piece knowing where it will go in my house. I am happy just hanging them anywhere and enjoying them, and I do love changing them out for the seasons. And so true about where would I put all my current WIPs!!!!!! LOL!!!
You are so productive and diverse in your projects. But, I wish the camera was closer to see the work and you held each piece a little longer to view. Not complaining just wishful thinking. Thanks for your time and effort making videos.
Thank You! And I am totally happy to show them closer and longer :) Especially since people (mostly me) are quite often stitching and don't look up at the right moment!
Welcome back and happy retirement!!! More stitching time for u I hope. I really enjoy seeing ur WIPS. Happy stitching🪡❤️
Thank You!!! I hope so too!!!!! :)
Congratulations on your retirement! I hope you had a lovely send-off :)
Thank You!! Yes, I had a lovely party at work and another lovely dinner with friends and family :)
Congratulations on your retirement, Brenda! ❤
Thank You Joanna!
I realy like your color choice for Pandemic.
Thank You!! I wasn't sure how it would look when I chose it, but I am loving how it is looking :)
🤩🤩🤩
Thank You!
Congratulations on your retirement. I retired in April. It's great!
Thank You! And congratulations!!!!
🐴🐴🐴
Thank You Mel!!!
Catching up, me too !
Hello! Did you mean you wanted the 100/3 colors as well for Entrelacs Bleu? 100/3 colors I am using are: blanc, 309, 480, 16, 510.
WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY AND HEALTHY RETIREMENT! TIME WILL FLY ENJOU EVERY MINUTE!
Thank You Carol!!!!!
Congratulations on your retirement. I'm excited that you may be making more videos. Yay!
Thank You!! LOL, I am totally planning on more videos :)
Congratulations on your retirement! Your stitching is so beautiful. Could tell me which green you used on your hobbit door, "The Hobbit" is the reason I bought the house, I loved your color choice.
Thank You Stephanie! I am so glad someone else thinks Bilbo's door should be green! LOL. I used 936 for the darker stripes and 937 for the lighter stripes. And then I used the 936 for part of the gate as well to tie that new color in with the rest of the design.
I got the same bag! Which weekend were you at?
Hi Brenda, I retired too this year. Love your stitching. Quick question... on your fabulous house series, how many rows are you leaving between the houses?
Hi Carol! Congrats to you as well!!!!! I am leaving three empty rows between the houses :)
Please share the 100/3 silk thread colors you are using to stitch the Entrelacs Blue design. Thank you.
Hi Sandra!! The 100/3 colors I am using are: blanc, 309, 480, 16, 510.
@@HandworkmaniacYou have inspired me, Thank you.
