    Thank you Helen D. for making these tutorials. Your voice is so calming and you make these finishes look so easy! I have made so many things that intimidated me. 😅 I cannot wait to see what you make next! Thanks again.

    Well now you’ve graduated from encourager to enabler, Helen. First the berries and now these blocks, oh my goodness! I definitely have to stitch this and while I am still terrified of finishing it, at least I know with your video I have a high success rate. Boy your sister is lucky she has a Helen! 😀 Definitely need to make one a Tabby to match my Ernie. Thanks again for all the time and effort you put into making these videos.

    Another great finish! I did the Block Party Buzz, but it was my first and only time stitching on black linen. The finishing used black floss, so it was hard to see where to pick up each stitch. I did another block finish later with a contrasting color for the backstitching and whipstitching, and it was much better.
    I like that you used a blend of fiberfill and walnut shells. I used all walnut shells (it took more than four cups), and it’s a bit too squishy. I used a funnel for the filling. I have the SNOW block in my “stitch soon” basket, so I will use the fiberfill with the walnut shells. Patti
