I am always happy when I see your beautiful smile and know you have a new flosstube to watch! You are a joy to listen to. Congrats on another wonderful blessing of a grandchild!
The Prairie Schooler bunnies on blue are charming! Much better on blue than black I think. Another very enjoyable flosstube. Congratulations on the new granddaughter. Back in the 1980's I too did birth samplers. Styles sure have changed.
I really enjoyed your video! Congratulations on your new Granddaughter Talia! What a blessing! Whenever I am asked about what you tube videos I watch, I always list yours as my favorite! You are such an inspiration to all of us with your beautiful stitching and organizational skills! Take care! ❤ see you next time
Congratulations on your new grandchild, Lori. I very much enjoyed seeing all of your current wips and finishes. Your stitching is so beautiful and you are so inspiring. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Congratulations on your grand baby being born! How very exciting! I remember when you did not have any grandchildren and now you are such a busy grandma. All good!
I know. Marla, it's been 3 1/2 years since #1 was born and in that time it grew to 5! I say in 5 years I'll retire cause they'll all be in school! Lol. Happy stitching💕
Hello sweet Lori…another great podcast…congratulations on your new grandgirl…your grands’ have been born into a lovely family…your stitching prompts are letting you touch so many things…I look forward to hearing about each one…love your magazine bird stitching and finishing…beautiful ornament…you have so many awesome patterns in your inventory…I love all you have accomplished …thanks for your visit…wishing you the best and happy stitching…and of course happy babysitting ❤❤❤❤
Hi Loretta, thank you so much for your kind words. So appreciate them. My stitching time is very limited at times but when I do stitch I try to touch many projects. Enjoy the rest of your week. All the best💕
I’m so glad you have new subscribers! You have a great floss tube, very personal, fun, and up beat. Not to mention the beautiful range of stitching and finishing. Lots to love!
Congrats🍼👶 So glad they agreed on a cute Name. The last blue mottled fabric would be my choice, those floss colors will look great on it with that Very Cute pattern. Every time I organize my craft room I hide stuff on myself for weeks+ ... I'm currently still looking for tiny Magnets. Those 2 Hand-dyed by Jim are very cool fabrics. Fun Barbie dolls to hand down, My Mom wasn't a saver either.
Hi Dee, so much in common! I always need to clean my craft room and then I forget where I put things. Oh well, one day I'll come across whatever I'm looking for. Lol. Have a great week💕
Every time I see your Kringles I gasp... it's amazing! so beautiful and so many stitches! and also love seeing your Brenda Keyes Red House sampler. Thanks for sharing! Congrats on your new grandbaby! Such a special time : )
Congratulations, Lori, on the birth of your new granddaughter! So happy for you! As usual, you have so many beautiful WIP's! Your wall has some beautiful finishes also. I always look forward to watching! Dottie
Love your flosstube! Congratulations on your new grandbaby! So much love and care you share and give to your family. Your nutcracker project will be amazing. Great stitching all your month challenges!
The Prairie Schooler Bunnies!!! Love them on the blue fabric, a great choice. Congratulations on being a new Grandmother again, isn't it fun to have a new baby around to love and cuddle. Your Barbies are wonderful, truly collector's pieces, I was never into Barbies (much older than they) but my 3 sisters and my 2 sister-in-laws were totally into Barbie and Ken. I, however, made 5 wedding dresses (crocheted) and 5 tuxeos (sewn) my first married Christmas as gifts for them. My middle sister still has all of her Barbies and Kens and all the clothes, who knows where the rest are ?? LOL. Have a wonderful 2 weeks and I can't wait to see your progress. Sending you warm hugs from sunny Arizona.
Hi Mary, that's such a nice remembrance you did for them. I'm sure they treasure the crocheted dresses! Thanks for the well wishes on the new addition. Sunday will be the first time i'll be babysitting the twins and Caleb! Hope I'm not too tired to watch the Academy awards that night! Take care and happy stitching💕
Congratulations Lori. Your stitching and finishing is beautiful as always. You do such a great job of coverage on 14 count. I don't stitch on 14 count because the fabric shows through sometimes. I don't pull tight either. My favorite is 32 count and 20 aida. You worry to much about videoing. You do great recording and your beautiful stitching certainly tells the story. Relax as if you were talking to your stitching friends when you get together. Looking forward to your next video. Happy stitching and enjoy the baby.
Hi Diane, I'm going to try and take your advice - easier said than done! Lol. I stitch on 28 and 18 or 14 and 16 and I always use two strands and I don't worry about the coverage. But that's just me. Happy stitching💕
Thank you for sharing your stitching. I love your round beaded finish, it was perfect. Who knew there were so many different styles of Barbie 😊…congratulations on the new grand baby. Have a great week!
Congratulations on the Grand baby! Wow are you going to have so much fun with all those grandchildren. Beautiful stitching as always Lori. Thank you for making your great flosstubes.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much Marjorie! Yes, the oldest is 3 1/2 and the youngest not even two weeks. In two years, when they are all together there will be no stopping them! Lol. Happy stitching💕
So much fun today! Congrats on the grandbaby! It is so wonderful to add to the family. Your Barbies are beautiful. I would like to dress like that also. I love your project choices.
I like the Lord’s Prayer piece. Congratulations to everyone on the newest addition to the family. I love her middle name, can’t imagine why😉😉 Oh, on the Kringle clock…. You should take the arms off. Then add them back, showing the exact time you finish that piece!! That would be so neat!!
Thank you for the great video, and congratulations on another grandchild, such wonderful news! You definitely are worthy of a shout out...your videos are great, you put a lot into them, always have so much stitching to share, and I love that you stitch a variety of subjects, something for everyone to see and enjoy! :) The Barbies you shared from your friend are incredible, she must have quite a collection. Yes, I love the hair, and their dresses, and all in the original packaging, how amazing! I recently parted with my Barbies...they had been in the attic, and when I really looked at them, they were less than intact...let's just say they had been played with and enjoyed and their hair was less than perfect at this point. I had great memories of my years playing with them, and I used to put their cases in the basket on my bike and ride to my friend's homes where we played for hours! I'm sure your grandchildren will love them!
I love those Barbies! I never had any growing up but bought my daughter a lot of them and enjoyed dressing them up with her! Such fun times. Enjoyed seeing your cross stitch as always.
Thank you, Lori, for another wonderful video. I always love seeing your projects and getting your family updates. Kudos to you for adding in challenges to your normal rotation. You are very organized. I love that. I have stitched the PS Bunnies also. I stitched on black because I have no imagination. Yours are beautiful. I enjoyed seeing the Barbie dolls. I wish I had kept mine. Take care. Best, K
Your floss tube was recommended by Vicky, The Virginia Stitcher as she was describing your Brenda Keyes samplers you have stitched and are stitching now. The Red House sampler is very pretty with that beautiful border too! And the finish of the birds ornament with the bead hanger is sweet! I made some ornaments using those bead backings for my tree this past Christmas using Priscilla and Chelsea patterns and love how they turned out. Congratulations on your newest granddaughter and have fun spoiling her with Grandma love!
Loved the Barbies. I don't know how you keep from opening the box. Brings back fond memories. Crossstitch pieces are very pretty. Have a great two weeks!
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! You and Dena have inspired me to really get going on my Kringles! I love it but it kept getting pushed aside for the newest shiny project😂. Seeing you and Dena both working on it lit a fire in me and I have been pretty much monogamous with it for the last few weeks. I now have the bottom floor completed along with the brickwork on the two upper floors. I’m a third of the way through the roof and will complete that before filling in the remaining 6 windows (they will be my reward that really makes it all come to life!). Thanks for the inspiration and all your wonderful content.
Hi Debbie! You may be further then the two of us on Kringles. I only but in two days a month, Dena wants to complete a room a month for a year end finish. Hopefully we'll all be able to finish it this year! Happy stitching💕
Congratulations on your new Granddaughter. Beautiful name. I enjoyed your video as always. Pretty wips. I laughed when you said you have an empty project bag and need to put a new start in it. I think we all do that.
Congratulations on a new little grandbaby to love! Wonderful stitching! Wow, to the Barbie's! I still have a few from my childhood. Hope you have a great week!!! 💜
Hi Lori! Congratulations on your new grand baby 🩷 I'm glad everyone is well. I stitched and completed Spring Doxology! I used all DMC. It's beautiful and has special meaning. I can email a photo to you unless you've already seen it. Jim at Silkweaver/Needleworkers is funny. Love the beads for a finish! I love the light blue fabric you are using on Prairie Schoolar Bunnies. Always inspired ♡ The Barbies are beautiful! Have a wonderful week 🌹
Hi Cynthia, I did see your Spring doxology it was beautiful. Day I was babysitting so sometimes I don't get a chance to comment. But I do watch! Happy stitching💕
Loved seeing the barbies. I have one from Africa, I think. I think you should finish your 30ish year old pieces. I love the lords prayer piece. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Thank You so much Lori for answering my million questions about your Kringles Project...I can't wait to start this one...gathering my supplies now. I really appreciate it so much!
Congrats for the new baby so fun. You’re .helping pass my quiet Sun. Having surgery tomorrow so trying to keep busy and my mind off it.Take care. I have all my Barbie dolls from childhood not in boxes like you got but well loved. I Always enjoy your videos always “perfect “ Take care 🍀
I love your stitching, Lori. You have so many wonderful pieces, and cute little pillows. That owl is precious! Well, I think I told you last time that I was going to start wipgo. Well, I spent quite a bit of time getting it all together--writing everything down etc. Well, the first 2 numbers that were called, I decided that I wanted to do something different. So I changed it. Then the next month, I couldn't find my wipgo sheet where I had recorded everything. lol I guess it wasn't for me. I probably would have changed everything anyway. lol I guess I really just like to work on whatever I'm in the mood for that day. Until next time, take care, and have fun stitching. Diane
Hi Lori, congratulations on your new grand baby, my daughter in law is expecting in June and I'm so excited. Thank you for sharing all your amazing stitching and your beautiful array of projects.
Oh my gosh Lori, your bird ornament is perfect! Your Kringles is making me want to get mine out, really beautiful! And red house sampler! Oh my gosh you’re amazing ❤❤
Don't be nervous you do a great job. Love the Christmas ornament so pretty .I have to get winter in the village pattern in fact in think I have to get all the patterns that you are working on they all look so lovely.congratulations on your new Granddaughter 🤗
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! What a pretty name! I think you should continue stitching that birth sampler for Caleb. It's too cute to let it just sit there, and being the oldest grandchild as well as the only boy, who better than to finish it for😊. I have 2 birth samplers that I love but never got around to stitching for my boys, but I still intend to even though they are in their late teens/early 20s! 😂. It's only because I waited a long time to find the sampler I loved, and I don't want them to go to waste. They are small samplers done on perforated paper (Brooke's Books Sunshine Line)...I've just got to slot them into the rotation! But I'm determined 😂 Loved seeing all of your pretty stitching today😊
Hi Maureen, yes I think I'll put it in my rotation next year. A few others told me to stitch on them as well. You'll have to work on yours as well! Happy stitching💕
Aww you do great - every time. I love your birds in the circle finish. Awesome job ! Congrats on the new baby . . . we are expecting our grandchild in August :) Your stitching is so beautiful ! ! !
Thanks Julie. I have to write down my agenda and try to look at it so I remember to share everything with everyone. Thanks for watching! Happy stitching! 💕
You deserve a shout out! I do not know anyone personally who cross stitches. Watching you and other Flosstubes is such a help! I love to see what you are stitching! Yay for a new grand baby!
Congratulations on your new granddaughter. Such a special time. Beautiful cross stitch I think you got as much progress as time allows and that perfectly all right because I know you would never give up those precious times with your family. WOW those Barbies are beautiful, can't imagine what her whole collection looked like wow. Happy stitching Patty
I enjoyed watching you on my tv today instead of the computer. A great video as usual and as always, I look forward to the next one. Congratulations on your new granddaughter and all your new subscribers.
I missed you but so happy for your fifth grandchild! Your pillow finishes are so good….can I send you some of my unfinished wanna-be pillows? I do not sew and am so nervous to take my finishes and try to make pillows with them. My sister in law has volunteered to help me but I haven’t taken her up on it yet. I also love your Kringles and think about ordering that pattern every time I see yours. You should never be nervous about your videos. You are so good on camera and SO REAL. I really enjoy watching you and I believe all your viewers feel the same way!🤩. PS. On the Brenda Keys Red House Sampler, you are using 18 ct. Are you using one thread or two? I just started a project and am using 18 ct with one thread but it doesn’t look as rich as yours.
Hi Paula! Thanks so much for the well wishes! I think you and your sister-in-law should take a day and work on those pillows - doing it with someone would be tons of fun. I finish them but do stress in picking the right fabric, etc. Once I had a friend come over so we could do it together. The Red House Sampler is stitched with two threads on 18 count. I like the loop method so I don't mind using two strands. Have a great rest of the weekend. Happy stitching 💕
Hi Lori Congratulations to all of you! If I was you I would finish those two pieces that has not been stitch on for a very long time. I would only work on those two until they are finished. I never let a Project go past 4 years - I try not to anyways. Sometimes I do but not very often. Love your WIPS - you are making great progress on them. On Friday of last week my Area had a Ice Storm that lasted from Friday Noon until Friday Night. Saturday the next day - my town’s power went out from Saturday Morning until Saturday Night. Our Houses was getting Cold. A Wire from the Substation came off. Our Gas Company - NIPSCO had to come and turn the power back on after my town’s Utilities change the wire. We only have one gas station at the moment and they also have fast food - It’s McDonalds. Everybody from my town that did not have no Electric went to McDonalds to get food. It’s the cheapest place in my town to eat at. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Hi Lisa, oh my. You have certainly been through some uncomfortable times. Was the McDonald's within walking distance, were the roads clear of ice? Ice can be quite dangerous driving or walking. Eventually I'll get back to those two WIPs. Hope the weather is better now where your live. Happy stitching💕
@@OnceUponAStitch - My name is Linda - Not Lisa McDonalds is one block over from me. I can walk or Drive to get to McDonalds. From March through late fall I will walk to McDonalds as long as it is not Raining out. The Streets and the Sidewalks was cleared up by Saturday morning. We are suppose to get more Nasty Weather again - Snow and Rain both - on Friday and then again on Sunday. Thank You ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Congratulations on your new grandbaby. That is so exciting. You absolutely deserve all you are given and all the recognition you receive. The Barbies are beautiful and your grandchildren will love them some day. I still have my two Barbies and clothes my mother knit for them. I need to display them. Have a great couple of stitchy weeks.
Thank you for your video. Congratulations on your new grandchild. You are truly blessed. Your finishes were lovely, and I always enjoy seeing your progress on your WIPS. You will do just fine on 32 count. It's not much different than 28. I have that library chart too, I've had it forever and never started it. Wow, I was expecting to see a couple Barbies, but you received alot! Fun! Take care and happy stitching!
Hi Christine, Helen shared her Barbie collection with a number of us in the group. She had a serious collection so I'm sure it's bittersweet for her to give them up. I assured her we would take very good care of them. Have a great week💕
@@OnceUponAStitch I am working on A Dog's Declaration by Ink Circles. I started about a month ago and have the top 3 pages finished. I would like to give it to my husband for his birthday in September or for Christmas. I am mostly a monogamous stitcher..
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! I have 6, ranging from 28 - 3 years. I was wondering what the pattern is next to the bunnies, ( on the wall) it looks like a monthly pattern. I enjoyed seeing all your beautiful work as always.
Hi Susan, I believe you're asking about Once Upon a Time by the Frosted Pumpkin. Each month was a different Aesop fable. Thanks for watching. Have a great week💕
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! Tallia is a beautiful name. I am stitching a Mirabilia on a hand dyed 32 count piece of fabric. I know that my vision is gettig worse as I'm getting older, but what shocked at how I could not see the holes in the fabric even with my 3.50 readers. I since have learned that some hand dyed fabric shrinks in the dying process so I am probably working on a higher count than 32. I'm just not enjoying the stitch. I'm contemplating restarting it on a 16 count aida. Have noticed this in stitching with your hand dyed fabrics?
Hi Lisa, yes some fabrics do shrink in the dying process. The Virginia Stitcher stitched many a Mirabilia on Aida fabric and they are gorgeous. Happy stitching💕
Don’t be nervous! If you didn’t start by saying you were nervous nobody would guess!! I think you’re a doll just the way you are. 😉 congrats on your new granddaughter! I bet your house is fun at the holidays.
Hi Angela! Can't wait for the littlest one to be two and they are all playing together. That will be tons of fun! Ought to be interesting. Lol. Have a great week 💕
I just love your channel! Miss Bingleys library is my next purchase and on my 123 stitch wish list. Now I NEED the Prairie Schooler bunnies!!! I’ve bought that same blue Artiste fabric and I love it!
Awesome! Congratulations on another new baby! My first was 8 12 second was 8 3. Lol how do you spell her first name? Never heard of it but it’s a pretty name. Oh owl is so cute! Wow the bird works perfectly in there! Oh did you say Holly? Funny from none to 5 in such short time eh? Lol ha be diligent on the diligent sampler.I definitely don’t enjoy that red house one. I never take it out lol. I have house and grass done and row of trees above and some border. Oh I would probably get my stitches backwards lol. Back tomorrow as bedtime now for me. Lol
Hi Cindy, Talia is doing well. My first was 7 libs 12 oz my second was 9 lbs 12 1/2 oz!!!! I'll get the Red House Sampler out again to make more progress on it. Slowly but surely we'll get it done! Happy stitching💕
Thank you so much for the week wishes. Amy and James watch over Gianna as she kisses and hugs her little sister. But then she goes on and plays with her toys and dolls. She is so adorable when she babbles on and no one understands a word she says. Thanks for asking. Happy stitching 💕
Congratulations on your new grandbaby!! I love your Heritage Sampler shown on the wall. I have this pattern but am struggling to pick out the right fabric. Can you please refer me to the episode that you discussed this or share the details? I love watching your videos!
I had to do some research to find out the details on Heritage Sampler. It was completed the end of November 2018. It was before I took better notes on what I stitched. But what I found out was I stitched it on 28 count ivory lugana. Two over two with DMC colors. Hope that helps.
Hi Lori I enjoy watching your floss tube! Can you tell me the name of the pattern and fabric you used. It’s the first piece on your shelf behind you. Enjoy your grand children!
Hi Sherri, I'm not sure which one you are referring to. Was it the top shelf, the dresser or the piece that was behind me. Many people asked about those patterns so I think I'll add a video showing them in detail. Or if you can tell me what it is a picture of, i'd love to share. 💕
@@OnceUponAStitch Thank you getting back to me. It’s the one on the top shelf next to the Quaker piece. First piece , black frame leaning on your shelf. 😊
What a great show. I hope your granddaughters will be old enough to treasure them. Your stitching is beautiful. Thank you very much.❤
Hi Vi! Thanks for watching. Happy stitching💕
I am always happy when I see your beautiful smile and know you have a new flosstube to watch! You are a joy to listen to. Congrats on another wonderful blessing of a grandchild!

Congrats on the newest grand baby! Love the stitching. See ya soon.
Thanks Tammy. Happy stitching💕
Loved the Barbies. I don't know how you keep from opening the box. Brings back fond memories. Crossstitch pieces are very pretty. Have a great two weeks!
Thanks Kathy. All the best for the next two weeks with lots of stitching time💕
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! You and Dena have inspired me to really get going on my Kringles! I love it but it kept getting pushed aside for the newest shiny project😂. Seeing you and Dena both working on it lit a fire in me and I have been pretty much monogamous with it for the last few weeks. I now have the bottom floor completed along with the brickwork on the two upper floors. I’m a third of the way through the roof and will complete that before filling in the remaining 6 windows (they will be my reward that really makes it all come to life!). Thanks for the inspiration and all your wonderful content.
Hi Debbie! You may be further then the two of us on Kringles. I only but in two days a month, Dena wants to complete a room a month for a year end finish. Hopefully we'll all be able to finish it this year! Happy stitching💕
Congratulations on your new Granddaughter. Beautiful name.
I enjoyed your video as always. Pretty wips. I laughed when you said you have an empty project bag and need to put a new start in it. I think we all do that.
Hi Carolyn, that's one of my favorite things, filling up an empty project bag! Lol💕
Congratulations on a new little grandbaby to love! Wonderful stitching! Wow, to the Barbie's! I still have a few from my childhood. Hope you have a great week!!! 💜
Hi Connie! You're lucky to have your original Barbies. That's awesome. Thanks for the well wishes. Happy stitching💕
You are killing me here!!! I love Barbie Dolls get one every Christmas.
Lol. I'm so happy to have received them. 💕
Hi Lori! Congratulations on your new grand baby 🩷 I'm glad everyone is well.
I stitched and completed Spring Doxology! I used all DMC. It's beautiful and has special meaning. I can email a photo to you unless you've already seen it. Jim at Silkweaver/Needleworkers is funny. Love the beads for a finish! I love the light blue fabric you are using on Prairie Schoolar Bunnies. Always inspired ♡ The Barbies are beautiful! Have a wonderful week 🌹
Hi Cynthia, I did see your Spring doxology it was beautiful. Day I was babysitting so sometimes I don't get a chance to comment. But I do watch! Happy stitching💕
@@OnceUponAStitch thank you, Lori ♡
Loved seeing the barbies. I have one from Africa, I think. I think you should finish your 30ish year old pieces. I love the lords prayer piece. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Jacqueline. Eventually I will complete them. I'll eventually put them in my rotation. Maybe 2024 one at a time. Thanks for watching💕
Thank You so much Lori for answering my million questions about your Kringles Project...I can't wait to start this one...gathering my supplies now. I really appreciate it so much!
I am so happy to help whenever I can
So if you have a question just ask. Happy stitching💕
Thanks for sharing....alway fun watching and see8ng what you are up to....please take care and be safe
Congrats for the new baby so fun. You’re .helping pass my quiet Sun. Having surgery tomorrow so trying to keep busy and my mind off it.Take care. I have all my Barbie dolls from childhood not in boxes like you got but well loved. I Always enjoy your videos always “perfect “ Take care 🍀
Hi Mary Jo, I hope your surgery went well and prayers for a speedy recovery! 💕
@@OnceUponAStitch Thank you 🍀Went well
Love all that you share! Anxious to see what you decide to stitch on the dyed fabrics shown towards the end of your video- so beautiful-
Hi Sally, me too! When I see a different fabric that I like I buy it and eventually I find something to stitch on it🤞. Lol. Happy stitching💕
Congratulations on your new grand baby!!
Thanks JoAnne💕
I love your stitching, Lori. You have so many wonderful pieces, and cute little pillows. That owl is precious! Well, I think I told you last time that I was going to start wipgo. Well, I spent quite a bit of time getting it all together--writing everything down etc. Well, the first 2 numbers that were called, I decided that I wanted to do something different. So I changed it. Then the next month, I couldn't find my wipgo sheet where I had recorded everything. lol I guess it wasn't for me. I probably would have changed everything anyway. lol I guess I really just like to work on whatever I'm in the mood for that day. Until next time, take care, and have fun stitching. Diane
Hi Diane. That was too funny. Maybe you'll try again next year! Have a great rest of the week. Happy stitching💕
Hi Lori, congratulations on your new grand baby, my daughter in law is expecting in June and I'm so excited. Thank you for sharing all your amazing stitching and your beautiful array of projects.
Joyce that is so exciting. Congratulating. June will be here before you know it! You'll have to stitch an ornament this year for the New baby! 💕
@@OnceUponAStitch I've been looking for a cute baby ornament or birth arrival but nothing has hit me yet. I hope I find something soon,
Oh my gosh Lori, your bird ornament is perfect! Your Kringles is making me want to get mine out, really beautiful! And red house sampler! Oh my gosh you’re amazing ❤❤
You're too sweet Christina! Thank you so much. Enjoy the rest of the week. Hope you get some stitching time in. 💕
@@OnceUponAStitch ♥️
Thank you for a wonderful video.
Don't be nervous you do a great job. Love the Christmas ornament so pretty .I have to get winter in the village pattern in fact in think I have to get all the patterns that you are working on they all look so lovely.congratulations on your new Granddaughter 🤗
Thanks Lorraine. Start all the projects, eventually they will get done! Happy stitching💕
Congratulations 🎊
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! What a pretty name! I think you should continue stitching that birth sampler for Caleb. It's too cute to let it just sit there, and being the oldest grandchild as well as the only boy, who better than to finish it for😊. I have 2 birth samplers that I love but never got around to stitching for my boys, but I still intend to even though they are in their late teens/early 20s! 😂. It's only because I waited a long time to find the sampler I loved, and I don't want them to go to waste. They are small samplers done on perforated paper (Brooke's Books Sunshine Line)...I've just got to slot them into the rotation! But I'm determined 😂 Loved seeing all of your pretty stitching today😊
Hi Maureen, yes I think I'll put it in my rotation next year. A few others told me to stitch on them as well. You'll have to work on yours as well! Happy stitching💕
Aww you do great - every time. I love your birds in the circle finish. Awesome job ! Congrats on the new baby . . . we are expecting our grandchild in August :) Your stitching is so beautiful ! ! !
Hi Mari! It will be here before you know it and that grandbaby will change your life🥰. Have a great couple of weeks💕
Yay! A new baby. ❤
Thanks 💕
I'm so impressed with how organized you are in both your stitching and in doing your videos.
Thanks Julie. I have to write down my agenda and try to look at it so I remember to share everything with everyone. Thanks for watching! Happy stitching! 💕
You deserve a shout out! I do not know anyone personally who cross stitches. Watching you and other Flosstubes is such a help! I love to see what you are stitching! Yay for a new grand baby!
Thanks so much Carol 💕
Congratulations!! Oh, and five years already?! 🥳
Thanks Kim💕
Congratulations on your new granddaughter. Such a special time. Beautiful cross stitch I think you got as much progress as time allows and that perfectly all right because I know you would never give up those precious times with your family. WOW those Barbies are beautiful, can't imagine what her whole collection looked like wow. Happy stitching Patty
Hi Patty, I know Helen must have had every Barbie made! I'm even behind in commenting but I'll get to everyone! Happy stitching 💕
I enjoyed watching you on my tv today instead of the computer. A great video as usual and as always, I look forward to the next one. Congratulations on your new granddaughter and all your new subscribers.
Thanks Cindy. Our growing family is a blessing to me and all my friends on TH-cam are amazing. So thankful. Have a great week💕
I missed you but so happy for your fifth grandchild! Your pillow finishes are so good….can I send you some of my unfinished wanna-be pillows? I do not sew and am so nervous to take my finishes and try to make pillows with them. My sister in law has volunteered to help me but I haven’t taken her up on it yet. I also love your Kringles and think about ordering that pattern every time I see yours. You should never be nervous about your videos. You are so good on camera and SO REAL. I really enjoy watching you and I believe all your viewers feel the same way!🤩. PS. On the Brenda Keys Red House Sampler, you are using 18 ct. Are you using one thread or two? I just started a project and am using 18 ct with one thread but it doesn’t look as rich as yours.
Hi Paula! Thanks so much for the well wishes! I think you and your sister-in-law should take a day and work on those pillows - doing it with someone would be tons of fun. I finish them but do stress in picking the right fabric, etc. Once I had a friend come over so we could do it together. The Red House Sampler is stitched with two threads on 18 count. I like the loop method so I don't mind using two strands. Have a great rest of the weekend. Happy stitching 💕
So excited to see another video of yours! You're one of my favorites! Now to watch 🙂
Hi Lori
Congratulations to all of you!
If I was you I would finish those two pieces that has not been stitch on for a very long time. I would only work on those two until they are finished.
I never let a Project go past 4 years - I try not to anyways. Sometimes I do but not very often.
Love your WIPS - you are making great progress on them.
On Friday of last week my Area had a Ice Storm that lasted from Friday Noon until Friday Night.
Saturday the next day - my town’s power went out from Saturday Morning until Saturday Night. Our Houses was getting Cold. A Wire from the Substation came off. Our Gas Company - NIPSCO had to come and turn the power back on after my town’s Utilities change the wire.
We only have one gas station at the moment and they also have fast food - It’s McDonalds. Everybody from my town that did not have no Electric went to McDonalds to get food. It’s the cheapest place in my town to eat at.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Hi Lisa, oh my. You have certainly been through some uncomfortable times. Was the McDonald's within walking distance, were the roads clear of ice? Ice can be quite dangerous driving or walking.
Eventually I'll get back to those two WIPs.
Hope the weather is better now where your live.
Happy stitching💕
@@OnceUponAStitch - My name is Linda - Not Lisa
McDonalds is one block over from me. I can walk or Drive to get to McDonalds. From March through late fall I will walk to McDonalds as long as it is not Raining out.
The Streets and the Sidewalks was cleared up by Saturday morning.
We are suppose to get more Nasty Weather again - Snow and Rain both - on Friday and then again on Sunday.
Thank You
❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Hey 👋 beautiful Barbie’s ❤and beautiful 🤩 stitching 🧵,,hugs and kisses 😘
Thanks Karen. Happy stitching💕
Congratulations on your new grandbaby. That is so exciting. You absolutely deserve all you are given and all the recognition you receive. The Barbies are beautiful and your grandchildren will love them some day. I still have my two Barbies and clothes my mother knit for them. I need to display them. Have a great couple of stitchy weeks.
Thanks so much for your kind words Susan. That truly means a lot to me. Have a great week with lots of stitchy time💕
Thank you for your video. Congratulations on your new grandchild. You are truly blessed. Your finishes were lovely, and I always enjoy seeing your progress on your WIPS. You will do just fine on 32 count. It's not much different than 28. I have that library chart too, I've had it forever and never started it. Wow, I was expecting to see a couple Barbies, but you received alot! Fun! Take care and happy stitching!
Hi Christine, Helen shared her Barbie collection with a number of us in the group. She had a serious collection so I'm sure it's bittersweet for her to give them up. I assured her we would take very good care of them. Have a great week💕
I love your videos, if you forget something talk about it next time. Your work is beautiful and I love to watch you and stitch along while we visit.
Thanks Valerie. What are you working on? Have a great week. Happy stitching💕
@@OnceUponAStitch I am working on A Dog's Declaration by Ink Circles. I started about a month ago and have the top 3 pages finished. I would like to give it to my husband for his birthday in September or for Christmas. I am mostly a monogamous stitcher..
@@valeriechamp1151 that's a great pattern!
I LOVE that bird ornament you stitched up. That is perfection with that beaded ornament from Hobby Lobby.
Hi Brenda, yes, I think I lucked out with that finish. Happy week to you💕
Yay!!!!
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! I have 6, ranging from 28 - 3 years. I was wondering what the pattern is next to the bunnies, ( on the wall) it looks like a monthly pattern. I enjoyed seeing all your beautiful work as always.
Hi Susan, I believe you're asking about Once Upon a Time by the Frosted Pumpkin. Each month was a different Aesop fable. Thanks for watching. Have a great week💕
Congratulations on your new granddaughter! Tallia is a beautiful name. I am stitching a Mirabilia on a hand dyed 32 count piece of fabric. I know that my vision is gettig worse as I'm getting older, but what shocked at how I could not see the holes in the fabric even with my 3.50 readers. I since have learned that some hand dyed fabric shrinks in the dying process so I am probably working on a higher count than 32. I'm just not enjoying the stitch. I'm contemplating restarting it on a 16 count aida. Have noticed this in stitching with your hand dyed fabrics?
Hi Lisa, yes some fabrics do shrink in the dying process. The Virginia Stitcher stitched many a Mirabilia on Aida fabric and they are gorgeous. Happy stitching💕
Don’t be nervous! If you didn’t start by saying you were nervous nobody would guess!! I think you’re a doll just the way you are. 😉 congrats on your new granddaughter! I bet your house is fun at the holidays.
Hi Angela! Can't wait for the littlest one to be two and they are all playing together. That will be tons of fun! Ought to be interesting. Lol. Have a great week 💕
I just love your channel! Miss Bingleys library is my next purchase and on my 123 stitch wish list. Now I NEED the Prairie Schooler bunnies!!! I’ve bought that same blue Artiste fabric and I love it!
Hi Maria, can't wait to get back to Hobby Lobby to buy more of that fabric. Thanks for visiting. Have a great week💕
Awesome! Congratulations on another new baby! My first was 8 12 second was 8 3. Lol how do you spell her first name? Never heard of it but it’s a pretty name. Oh owl is so cute! Wow the bird works perfectly in there! Oh did you say Holly? Funny from none to 5 in such short time eh? Lol ha be diligent on the diligent sampler.I definitely don’t enjoy that red house one. I never take it out lol. I have house and grass done and row of trees above and some border. Oh I would probably get my stitches backwards lol. Back tomorrow as bedtime now for me. Lol
Hi Cindy, Talia is doing well. My first was 7 libs 12 oz my second was 9 lbs 12 1/2 oz!!!! I'll get the Red House Sampler out again to make more progress on it. Slowly but surely we'll get it done! Happy stitching💕
@@OnceUponAStitch oh I do like that name.. wasn’t sure after what you said!❤️
Congratulations to James & Amy and also to you & Sal. What does Gianna think of her new sister?
Thank you so much for the week wishes. Amy and James watch over Gianna as she kisses and hugs her little sister. But then she goes on and plays with her toys and dolls. She is so adorable when she babbles on and no one understands a word she says. Thanks for asking. Happy stitching 💕
Congratulations on your new grandbaby!! I love your Heritage Sampler shown on the wall. I have this pattern but am struggling to pick out the right fabric. Can you please refer me to the episode that you discussed this or share the details? I love watching your videos!
I had to do some research to find out the details on Heritage Sampler. It was completed the end of November 2018. It was before I took better notes on what I stitched. But what I found out was I stitched it on 28 count ivory lugana. Two over two with DMC colors. Hope that helps.
@@OnceUponAStitch Wow! I greatly appreciate you taking the time do do the research. Have a great day!
Hi Lori I enjoy watching your floss tube! Can you tell me the name of the pattern and fabric you used. It’s the first piece on your shelf behind you.
Enjoy your grand children!
Hi Sherri, I'm not sure which one you are referring to. Was it the top shelf, the dresser or the piece that was behind me. Many people asked about those patterns so I think I'll add a video showing them in detail. Or if you can tell me what it is a picture of, i'd love to share. 💕
@@OnceUponAStitch Thank you getting back to me. It’s the one on the top shelf next to the Quaker piece. First piece , black frame leaning on your shelf. 😊
Loved the video! May I ask the name of the Gloriana silk you held up? The Barbies were a fun addition!
Hi Joanne! The color is Autumn arbor #113. Looking forward to trying it. I hope all is well. Have a great week💕
What is the name of the bunny & tulip cross stitch chart in the gold frame that is on the dresser?
It's Easter Parade by Blackbird Designs. I was so happy when they re-released the pattern.
Thank you
What is the name of the chart for the rabbit with tulips in the gold frame behind you ?
Hi Christine, that is Easter Parade by Blackbird Designs. They reprinted the pattern a couple of years ago so it's now available. Happy stitching💕
Thanks
