Oh this was so fun to see all your goodies and progress (even if it was a little)! If you’re not happy with those couple of patterns on the fabric you didn’t care for - let them go. Perhaps start over on fabric you love. Also - I’d probably give away the coffee one and the house with the peacock on the roof - don’t feel guilty about not finishing! Plenty of things to stitch that you’d be excited to stitch! Happy NewYear and Happy Stitching Kristy
I enjoyed watching your wip parade Sarah. I would join you on a blue flower month, as I own more than a few of them. Your stitching is beautiful. Keep stitching on the charts you love. x
Love this WIP parade! My philosophy:”life’s to short to read bad books or stitch unfulfilling stuff”. Use the stuff you aren’t in love with as a ‘give away’ and let someone else benefit from your time invested! Soldier on to 2023!!!!
So many WIPs! I enjoyed seeing them all. I’m currently stitching some of the same ones. I like the Cozy Cafe piece but you have so many pieces that you may enjoy stitching so much more that I would put it aside for now and stitch on whatever makes you happy. Maybe you’ll “feel it” in the future and then you can return to it. Happy New Year and happy stitching!
What an enjoyable video whilst I was sewing last night. Thank you. I really enjoyed looking at all your WIP's. If you are not sure whether you want to keep something just put it to one side and give it a period of time before deciding. I have started various projects which I eventually just stopped and added to my art journal. So not completed unused. If I don't enjoy something I have never re fallen in love with it. Also I have over the winter holiday from work sorted my arty / crafty items and amazing how many I had that I have not used for years. I feel much better having had a good organisation and clear out. I smiled at Daisy's replacement though I did miss her. Liked the look of her new Christmas presie bed of the little tower. :) I look forward to your new video. Happy New Year and thank you once again. :)
Great WIP parade! I have Moonlight Visitor on winter wren by Fox and Rabbit. It was a recommended substitute fabric for the called for. It is darker than I am used to stitching on but colors do pop on it. Love Blue Flower designs too. Happy Stitching!
Thanks for the great parade of WIPs you showed today! I find I like to stitch the seasons too and like you stitch what calls to me at the time. This new year I want to try to schedule certain days for specific patterns to stitch and get further along with my WIPs from 2021 and 2022 years. We shall see what happens😀. Happy New Year to you and Jen and I’ll be doing #NYE12x12 with you and others!🎉🥂🎶
Hi! Just found your channel. Loved your wipparede, your gaste on stitching os lovely, and your works too. Definitely Will keep watching your videos. Have a great new year 😉
Really enjoyed seeing all of your WIPS and your fabric choices are fabulous. I have the Teresa Kogut Hello Halloween Book but I worry it may be too much for me to take on, so I did plan to make some little items from it, I will be watching to see how you are doing on this. Thanks for the entertainment!
Great WIP parade! I would probably have to finish Cozy Cafe since you are over half done. At least work on it a couple hours to see if the love comes back. If not, pass it on to someone. ❤ Happy New Year! Can’t wait to see your nye 12x12!!
Hi Sarah and stuffed Daisy 🌼 🐶 hahaha. Your whip parade I found enjoyable as you had so much done on your pieces! Let Love reign can only go to your son & future wife without haunting in it I'm thinking. 😉 Invest in better lighting, it is so worth it! Tfs
I enjoyed watching all the wips you have. I think you should finish up the Cozy Cafe. You got a lot done and it shouldn't take you that long to finish it. But if you don't want to, you could always give it away, I could take it off your hands. 😆 We have similar taste, but I wouldn't be able to have as many WIPs as you. I have around 12 or less. I used to have a UFO and I gave it away because I couldn't force myself to stitch it.
I really enjoyed this Sarah thank you for the time and effort and the ironing lol! I know these WIP parades are a lot of work. I think you should gift The Cozy Cafe if it’s no longer inspiring you. Take care!
I'm a little behind, but enjoyed watching! Yeah, I'd let go of anything you aren't feeling anymore. You can pass it on to a friend or viewer who would love to adopt a WIP. I haven't regretted anything I decided to let go of so far! Also, I am literally working on Thirza as I watched, but I'm doing the crazy colorway! lol
Hi Sarah! I love all your WIPS! 👏🏻👏🏻. I tend to plan (or not🤔), like you. I stitch what I feel like. Your little dog stitches will be really cute AND have meaning for you and your family! I love all the mottled fabrics you acquired. I like stitching on 20 ct Lugana and it seems like there isn’t a great choice of really nice mottled fabrics in this count? 🤔 Sometimes ordering them online can be disappointing as you don’t see the entire piece you are ordering and can come all mottled for example, on one corner, but nothing much on the rest of the fabric. I am going to Stitch North in May and will hopefully be able to get some there. Well, enjoy your January stitching and so will I ! Take care. Happy New Year! Marilyn 🎉🧑🏻🦰🇨🇦
I love your let love reign colors are so beautiful what floss did you use I remember u said u changed some of it. I enjoyed your whips parade so much fun to watch. Blue Flower patterns are beautiful love it!! Happy new year!!
I messed up my border on Let Love Reign as well but by two stitches. I simply "fudged" it and made adjustments when I had to match up the border in the bottom. I had to move motifs over where I could so that they didn't meet the border.. I lovede stitching this and my favorite part was the large basket of flowers.
Your Let Love Reign piece is stunning! I don't know if you follow GaRon Tottenbags but every month they have a designer focus and January is going to be The Blue Flower! I love her designs too!
Sarah, love all your stitching. When you add up all of the WIPs, that also adds up to a lot of stitches!!! I think you should find a good home for your Cafe stitch. Fake Daisy is so cute, too. I just had a failure trying to do a FFO, so will take in to a professional framer at Hobby Lobby. Just keep having fun. Happy New Year!!!
As you were first showing the Cozy Cafe I was going “I have to find that pattern” - love it - if you decide to pass it on I would love to have it or maybe the pattern - it’s a beauty👏
I think I got almost the exact same amount done on Cozy Cafe as you and I feel EXACTLY the same. Just zero desire to go back - I think I’m gonna UFO it and cut out the cups I’ve finished and make cute smalls out of them. It’s a cute pattern but I hate my fabric choice and I have no idea what I would do with the finished piece anyway
Ha, Sarah, all I was thinking right up to where you called me out was how I need to just bite the bullet and do a parade. 😆 We have a lot to SAL this year. 100% a Blue Flower month is happening! I love it for May-nia or March madness. Hang on to your tfps Cafe piece until I FFO mine. It may change your mind. I didn't make it up, but it's really cute.
Have you considered designating one day a week to stitching Blue Flower? Example: Blue Flower Friday. It has a nice ring to it and what a great way to start the weekend! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy the rest of your holiday! 🎉
You could off that part and make into a pin cushion or book mark. Don't give up on cafe stitch by frosted pumpkin. It's so cute I. Bet you could finish it quickly.
Loved seeing all your WIPs!! I'm wondering if for This is the Day, maybe doing a darker fabric? Like a mid-tone blue? That might make everything pop more!
I enjoyed your WIP parade. I saw several patterns that I would like to stitch. Could you please tell me what color floss you are going to use for Winter Cometh by Summer House Stitch Works? Thank you.
Pass the Cozy Cafe along. You did to much work to just leave it unfinished. The one with the owl ( can't remember the name of the pattern) I would cut out those stitches instead of cutting it off. So you have the full piece of fabric. I bet a black sampler would like really pretty on that fabric.
I don't want to be negative but it looks like the fabric for your Stars Bright piece may be cut off grain. The left side of the piece seems to be moving closer to the cut edge as you go down. How much margin will you have left when you get to the bottom? I didn't see how close you were to bottom. If close, you should be fine.
If you have misgivings about a fabric I say restart on something else. I bought darker purple for that pattern. Your stitching is beautiful but material too light
I love seeing your wips. I also love your idea of Halloween at Hawk Run as individual pillows. Let love reign is one of my new year new starts! More excited after seeing yours!
Some of your WIPS that you’re not feeling could be turned into drums, Vonna Pfeiffer does a tutorial where she uses pieces she didn’t want to finish in the same way. Shame to waste all your hard work 🥰
The stand in Daisy was cute! I enjoyed seeing your projects!
Except when she elbowed him onto the floor 🤣

It was so nice seeing all your projects!
If you aren’t enjoying a project, don’t finish it. Pass it on to someone who will enjoy it.
Happy New Year 🎉
Love your videos. Thank you for the inspiration.
I will finish your Cozy Cafe. That is a precious piece for a coffee/tea bar!!!

Hell I havent even started This is the Day yet! So much to focus on this year! Maybe I'll start it when you restart it lol
Your Let Love Reign is Amazing!!!
Happy new year! Love the plans. Put cozy cafe away. Maybe you’ll have a grandchild you would like to finish it for someday. See ya soon.
I love your let love reign colors are so beautiful what floss did you use I remember u said u changed some of it. I enjoyed your whips parade so much fun to watch. Blue Flower patterns are beautiful love it!! Happy new year!!
I pulled aside Meditation Garden and Rhings Unseen SALs too.... will plan to focus on them hard in the Spring...
Love your WIPS!

Love your pattern choices !
Love a wip parade!!! For Cozy cafe, if you did finish it would you FFO it and display? If not, pass it along to someone who will.
Sarah, love all your stitching. When you add up all of the WIPs, that also adds up to a lot of stitches!!! I think you should find a good home for your Cafe stitch. Fake Daisy is so cute, too.

I love the idea of Blue Flower Friday! I added it to my calendar! ❤
For This is The Day I removed the goat and added another butterfly. And I am switching some of the pink flosses to randoms from my stash.
Give to someone to finish. Stitch what you love even if it changes. Enjoy your videos so much
You could off that part and make into a pin cushion or book mark. Don't give up on cafe stitch by frosted pumpkin. It's so cute I. Bet you could finish it quickly.
If you don’t like it you won’t want to work on it so maybe make some smalls from it. Happy New year! Let get those WIPS done! 🥳
I had not seen the bunnies driving vegetables! 😂 So cute!! Thanks for sharing, Happy New Year Sarah
Yeah that was funny!
I used vintage country mocha on my this is the day, you can really see the white on that fabric
Loved seeing all your WIPs!! I'm wondering if for This is the Day, maybe doing a darker fabric? Like a mid-tone blue? That might make everything pop more!
Hi, love all of your WIPS. Can you pase the link for Jodie fabrics. Thank you.
Yes Maggi! Come back to flosstube!
I enjoyed your WIP parade. I saw several patterns that I would like to stitch. Could you please tell me what color floss you are going to use for Winter Cometh by Summer House Stitch Works? Thank you.
I am of the opinion that if it brings me joy, stitch them. If they don’t, let it go. Lol.
Yes the free charts from Owl forest you mentioned are still free on their website with lots of others. I love your wips will jen be showing hers?
Such a fun video!! Please don’t toss your adorable cafe! ☕️ Maybe put it in time out but it’ll be gorgeous finished!
💜☮️
