As I watch the moon at midnight, the owls hoot, hoot, such a fright !!! I love wool applique and Black Bird designs, so it would be so fun !! Blessings Claudia. New watcher
Enjoyed watching your video and seeing all your beautiful ffo’s and wips love your wool projects. I would enjoy learning about repairing your quilts. Have a wonderful day and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
I loved your antique quilts you found,that diamond is a beauty ! Sounds like Agatha is giving you a run for your money !😸 . I have been wanting to stitch Midnight Watch also, I just love it !
Love your flosstube. I would very much enjoy watching a video on conserving an antique quilt. Those antique quilts you purchased are gorgeous. Happy Halloween. 🧟♀️🧟♂️🕷👻
I love your beautiful finish. Thank you for sharing. I love the choices you make with your floss and fabric and your wool appliqué is so sweet. I love wool appliqué. Midnight
You are so entertaining to watch!! Love it when I see you have a new FlossTube up! Such a good cat mama, says a lot about you! I am so happy you are not giving up on wild one, sounds as though her earlier days were rough ones! Midnight Watch is a wonderful chart , I agree with you. Would love to see tutorials on conserving old damaged quilts, please! You certainly have some beauties❤️
I'd definitely love a series of quilt restoration videos. I say go for it. Love your cross stitch project choices and wool applique WIPs. I hope Agnes settles down and becomes less of a crazy banshee.
I’m so happy to have run on to your video this morning while having my coffee. Antique quilts, wool appliqué, Shaker baskets, history, love it all. Yes please regarding conservation tips. I have a signature quilt from Pennsylvania with inked dates in the early 1840’s which is in good shape but have others that need some repair so your offer of a conservation series is much appreciated. Thank you!
Oh, wow! What a treasure you have! They really become so delicate at that age, I am glad to hear it is in good condition. Often the ink itself deteriorates the fabric.
Glad Agnes is feeling better and hope she will settle down. Thanks for showing your wool applique as it is lovely and makes me want to piece together some! I would absolutely watch a series on conserving quilts. As is often the case I have an old quilt made by my grandmother which was well used and loved until we decided we had to put it away to keep from totally wearing it out.
Love your studio - especially your spool cabinets! I enjoy your videos and would love to learn how to repair or conserve antique quilts. Thanks for sharing your stitching with us! Midnight Watch would be fun to stitch.
O yes, a tutorial on preserving quilts would be fabulous. I also love the shaker boxes. I haven’t seen any of those in this part of the country. Anyway it’s midnight here and time to go to bed.
I would love to be able to sleep. I stay awake until midnight but wake up at 2, 4 and wide wake at 5:30😂 we found a stray on our property similar story to Agnus. He is white but has lived separately from the other cat for 3 years so far. Yikes oh my!! I love those wool snowmen ... beautiful 😍
The best video EVER. I loved everything thing you showed. With winter coming -- pls show more videos projects we can make With you pls. I love working with wool. In my grandmothers parlor (livingroom) on the farm-- she displayed wool table mats. I am so excited. I am 81 yrs old and sewing etc keep me intertwined. Here in Wichita Kansas we have a fabulous cross stitch shop called Heart's Desire. Loved all young ideas
What did her table mats look like? I can remember my grandmother’s lace tablecloth and some doilies but that’s about all. I lost all of my grandparents at a young age. I do have her quilt frame though.
Would love it if you would do some videos on conservation of quilts. I have many of my Grandmother's quilts and I give them the care they require; refolding and storing properly but in view to enjoy. I love wool applique and have several pieces I want to do. Your studio is a place I would like to spend some time in. It is just a paradise for those of us who quilt, craft, stitch, etc. Hope Agnes calms down for you and she is a lucky girl to have found a home with you. Thanks for sharing all the knowledge you have in textiles. I find your videos so educational and learn something from you each time. Have a lovely week from Norma in Boise, ID
I always loved doing wool applique ! Your wool needle piece is one I would use all the time. I use to do a lot of midnight stitching when I was waiting for my kids to come home before the time of cell phones but d Still like stitching late.
I would love seeing videos about old quilt restorations. I really enjoy your videos and always find a project OR TWO that I want to do. Wool appliqué is my favorite too.
Cats can be very busy! Midnight Watch is beautiful. My hubby told me, after seeing you studio, that I must feel deprived, lol. Keep in mind I have a huge bedroom with walk-in closet and beautiful built in cabinets he built for me, everything on rollers. So although I’m not deprived, I do love your workplace. I love everything sheep. I also quilt, wool appliqué, punch needle, and a bit of rug hooking. Then came the cross-stitch back into my life…squirrel, or rabbit hole. Lol.
I’m sorry you’re so deprived. LOL Having everything on wheels is wonderful. My husband built my sewing table and it is my absolute favorite piece in the room. A handy husband makes for a happy wife. :)
I was just thinking that I had not seen you for awhile and this video appeared! I see now that I have missed a couple. And I have been admiring the Midnight Watch pattern for awhile. Thanks 😊
Love black cat patterns! Midnight. Found my black cat after a Halloween ghost tour of a historic fort in a very dark parking lot. Tiny kitten with very loud voice. Had her for over 20 years.
I loved seeing all your wool projects! I vote for tea-dyeing the sampler to match more with what your aesthetic is. Nothing is white in my house…it just feels too stark with primitive decorating. 😉
I love the wool applique things. I've done the pin cushions that were a set. Yes, they were all in the same pattern. Primitive Gatherings have some great prim patterns. I really dislike the prep work, but love the stitching. I find it very relaxing.
I would be very interested in quilt conservation videos. I have a delicate, hand sewn family quilt with fraying and torn fabric pieces. Always enjoy your videos and good luck with Agnes. She is lucky to have found you. Thank you!
Your video came up in my feed. So glad it did! Loved your cross stitch! LOVE your wool projects! I want to get into wool appliqué. I’m already looking around for the Crow pattern and the snowman one. They are adorable 😆 I’m also going to look for the ‘In the meadow we can build a snowman’ quilt. So super cute. Can’t wait for your next video 😀
Love all your projects! I love seeing your wool appliqué! I just started teaching myself and it’s so much fun! I totally get it about the cat fuzz, I have a houseful of fur babies in my house and battling the fuzz is an issue. It’s almost Midnight 😊….. nighty night😴
I’ve decided to take the attitude, if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em. I’ve started collecting my long haired cats fur. I’ve seen people needle felt it into little things. I plan to make finger puppets for my grandkids. LOL
My first black kitty was named Midnight. He was a love. Love all your wool applique. I use a damp rag to remove cat hair from my penny rugs. I would antique your sampler to give it some age. Thanks Christine.
I would love to see you do videos on how to restore antique quilts. Your wool applique pieces are beautiful. I need to get my fingers back into working with wool. I look forward to your next video, hopefully before midnight...lol!!!
I love to see all your crafts and the gems from your antique shops! Conservation tutorials would be great. I could watch at midnight while I cross stitch!
Yes, please on sharing your knowledge of restoring and preserving vintage quilts. I also appreciate you sharing your ancestors’ history as you do your research. You are very fortunate to have such a rich history in your family. Love Agnes! Sorry she is a little stinker though. 🙀
I do love your videos…you have such a variety of things to show and you do indeed inspire me. I have not tried wool applique but you have made me think about giving it a try. Regarding Agnes…we have had to return a cat to a shelter because she was terrorizing another cat. It was such a hard decision, but it was the right decision because we could not change the behavior. Someone else adopted that cat, who really belonged in a one-cat household. I hope you can adjust Agnes to your home, but, if not, she might fit in better in someone else's. I love seeing your many projects and of course I love the studio. Midnight.
Hi Jill. I am worried that may end up being the case with Agnes. There are things we can do to safely try to get them used to each other and if that fails we will have to consider plan b.
I have an Agnes! She’s a ginger cat 🐈 - but I have a midnight cat 🐈⬛ named Chrysanthemum as well. Polar opposite personalities! Have to love them where they are!! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts!!
I had a stray called Midnight years ago. We took in a Orange Cat and named him Cheddar. We got him last June. He is crazier then any cat I have ever had! He can not be left out on his own or he will destroy the house! He's a work in process! We love him though! Yes, I would be very interested in anything to do with old Quilts! I have some to fix!
My best friend in grade school had a pet feral cat that lived under her back porch. Scary and weird! I would love to stitch midnight! Thanks for sharing! Had to go and order the big book, nice deal. Love your smalls, I need to do alot of finishing here! But you've inspired me.
We have another cat that we’ve been seeing in the woods and around our barn. Definitely feral. I’ve been trying to convince it to live in the barn by leaving food out for it.
I really hope you will do videos on restoring antique quilts. A friend gave me a quilt her great-grandmother made, circa 1860. The binding is really frayed, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Also, Agnes, despite being a challenge, is one lucky girl that you found her. Love your videos. Thank you.
First time to see your channel, and I love it so much! Thanks for sharing your projects. I may buy that embroidery projects book! Your cross stitch finishes and wool projects art so beautiful.
Wow is all I can say. So many things. Yes, wool is easy to work with and I often wonder why I’m not doing more of. I have one “appliqué” quilt which I believe is a Lori Smith that was supposed to be made all in quilters cotton. I decided to do all the appliqué in wool as customer came into my shop with hers. I loved it so much. I called to all the ladies in the back class to come look at this most magnificent quilt. All but one took one look at it , turned on their heels and went back to class. The other lady and I bought background cotton and wool to start the quilt. In my area wool a no go. Much like you I’ve gotten bogged down on the appliqué cutting for the border. I currently don’t have the brain width to do it. I had to close the shop in the middle of working on it due to husband’s medical emergency. I finished all I had cut out but just the getting to the cutting isn’t working. Hoping I will get myself in gear as it would be a perfect project for this current medical emergency he’s going through. So brainless and relaxing when the pieces are cut and ready. I’d love to see your quilt conservation techniques. I have a passion for antique quilts and love the 2 you found. Midnight is a special time for cats!
How interesting that they weren’t sold immediately! I really had to force myself to get the pieces traced. I’ll have to do it again with the snowman quilt. I always love the end result, I don’t know why it’s such an issue for me.
@@mountaincraftsstudio apparently it is the location in which I live. I had wool manufacturers who told me that to the south , north, and west of me the wool sells, but in my location it doesn’t. She warned me not to buy the wool from her. Did I listen? No, but three of us bought the wool and we were happy!
I’d love to learn more about quilt conservation! I also looked up Lori Smith quilts and ordered a couple patterns, thanks for sharing your beautiful framed piece.
Thank you for sharing your stitching with us. It is always nice to see what you like to work on. I wonder what time of day you like to stitch. Myself, I am a night owl and have been stitching at Midnight many a night. Best wishes with the 🐈⬛.
Beautiful finish on It’s a Changed World. Thanks for sharing. Yes please, a series of preservation quilt would be wonderful. I need to just get started on my wool appliqué also. I get intimidated at the start of the project also. Thanks for sharing. Happy Fall Stitching!🍂🍁♥️🪡🧵
Since you asked for ideas…I might leave it as is since the frame is not antique but more of a modern look. Such a lovely studio. And you are very talented 😊
Oh, that is brilliant! I bet that is beautiful. I love that type of finish. Nothing is safe from me turning it into something else. My husband thinks I’m not right in the head because he can’t see the potential of things.
What a lucky find, that frame is perfect for your small stitch. So sorry that Agnes has become a wild child. Good luck getting her acclimated to your other cats. Great projects, as always. Stay well. Best, K
Thanks for all of the inspiration! Look forward to seeing your knitting bag’s progress. I may just make one like that. Right now I have zipper ones & I am very careful about closing them so that the wool does not get caught. The draw string bag is probably a good idea. Would love to know more about conserving/restoring quilts. All knowledge & information gratefully accepted. I have a quilt from my grandmother which I was advised to”throw out”. Didn’t even consider doing that. It is carefully folded on a quilt ladder for display. Happy stitching🧶🪡🧵
Thanks Christine! I ordered the book from Amazon. Looks like a nice project to start. Need to pick out some fabric. During the summer I made a mitred square blanket (free pattern on Ravelry) so I had a large project bag of all the colours I was going to use & a smaller one for the square I was working on. Used up so many of those little balls of leftover sock yarn. I think that people make the pattern for baby blankets. The blanket looks good. May make another one. 👍
@@carolalanliversage6077 I think I know which one you are talking about. I have the crochet blanket pattern that is just one giant granny square to make someday. That will be a scrap buster for sure.
I would love to stitch midnight. I’ve been wanting this pattern all fall. Good luck with Agnes. I went to Catholic schools and I remember there was a nun everyone dreaded getting , Sister Agnes. I have total sympathy now, at the ripe old age of 67, for what those women dealt with. But she was a heller.
I love all of your wool pieces!!!😍 The quilts are fantastic! I would love to watch you give tips on preserving them! Oh, Agnes! I hope she acclimates to her new space and learns to play nice with the others! ❤ 🐈⬛🐈
I was excited to see that you had a new video up. I enjoy seeing what is going on in your studio. Recently, I was thinking about a quilt top I somehow ended up with, trying to decide what to do with it...should I finish it, care for it, etc. I'm not sure if there was a name for them, but its from my grandmas wedding in the 1940's. The ladies from her church (I think???) each made a block for this quilt top (I believe there's one from my great grandmother, who was her mother-in-law to be). Sadly, it was never finished and I have become its caretaker. So, yes, I would love if you did a series on quilt conservation.
I totally understand about the new cat. I am debated whether or not to get a second cat so our February adoption isn't so lonely, but I am concerned what will happen to the house while we are at work. And sometimes, Lana is up at midnight meowing at us. Love the antique quilts.... always a great find. I would love to learn how to patch a tear. The afore mentioned cat jumped up onto a wallhanging chasing a bug and needless to say it needs a patch now.
Just found your TH-cam . Like it! Midnight is great, I’m a night owl. Never stitched much with wool appliqué. Saw the finished oval bird piece on Shanda’s TH-cam piece on an older dated filming. I could never get either of my daughters interested in any needlework, whether when they were young or older. I will be looking for your conservation quilt TH-cams.
I absolutely love working with wool! I have the two books you showed and have made a couple of things. Anything to do with wool!! Love your finishes and the large framed piece is stunning!! Your quilt purchases are amazing! The Midnight stitch will be beautiful!! You have such a kind heart for Agnes. She is a lucky girl!!
What a wonderful space you’re in!! I love your wool appliqué!! Just ordered a beginner project from Under the Woolen Willow and looking forward to learning. I recently purchased Lisa Bongean’s book “Wool, Needle and Thread”. Thanks for your encouragement and inspiration!! Also, love midnight chart. Thanks!!
Autumn is my favorite season and I love being in our tiny cottage in the woods and be creative. You have inspired me to think about making an Emily Monroe inspired quilt for the cottage. My mind is whirring with ideas. I had hoped we would see Agnes again. Maybe you can insert a little video of her now? I no longer have a cat because we were heartbroken over the loss of a very special cat followed by the loss of a kitten we got afterwards. We travel weekly back and forth from our apartment to the cottage in the woods. Not easy for a cat to be in a car. But I collect cat charts and love the midnight cat. Loved seeing your wool applique! The framed piece is fabulous but also the pin pillows. I would love to watch a series of quilt conservation videos. I have never bought antique quilts because of now being sure about how to conserve them. I quilt by hand. Happy stitching 🧵 and a wave from The Netherlands Heidi
Just found your channel. I would love any advice on repairing and conserving older quilts and quilt tops. I enjoyed seeing your wool applique pieces. I like many forms of needlework and Midnight Watch looks like a fun stitch..Looking forward to more.!
You totally transformed The Scarlett House sampler for me and I immediately paused and purchased the chart. Most definitely interested in the quilt conservation series. I have a few wool kits that need to see the light of day. Thanks for always sharing so many interesting things with us and inspiring us to create, Kristy.
A Changed World is beautify - lovely way to mark this time in history. I especially like your modification and am curious to know if you are using the called for threads and fabric. Thank you for rescuing Agnes- now that she is healthy she is no doubt acting her age- likely under 2 and needs toys. I've heard it is easier to introduce a male to an existing female but please call the vet for helpful suggestions, otherwise there could be fur flying...
I would so be interested in knowing how to conserve my "my Grandmother's Flower Garden" stitch by my grandmother for my graduation and used on my bed for 20 years and it began to disintegrate so I have it carefully vacuumed sealed to figure out what if anything I can do.
I had a black cat named midnight but our housekeeper insisted on calling him Shine. LOL. I’d love to try wool appliqué, but have no idea how to start or where to get materials. What a great idea to cover books with fabric!
I think wool appliqué is the easiest type of appliqué to learn. You might enjoy visiting buttermilkbasin.com. They have loads of small kits to choose from. You could try one to see if you like it. It is basically just glueing wool together, then blanket stitching the edges. There are lots of ways to do the gluing. I use an appliqué basting glue, but I’m pretty sure plain old Elmer’s school glue would work. You only need a teeny tiny bit to get it to stay while you stitch it.
@@mountaincraftsstudio what a cute store! I’ve done needleturn appliqué before, so that part won’t be too hard, I think. It’s just the materials and assembly that I need to learn about. Thank you for the recommendation!
Had to turn our only walk-in closet into a teeny 6X12 craft room b/c our rescue *midnight* tuxedo was also sweet kitty for 2 weeks, then...boom! She appointed herself "owner-dominator of all craft items." lol
@@mountaincraftsstudio 2 yrs and our kitty's doing so much better (though she's still banned from the craft "micro-studio"). She absolutely loves herself some floss, yarn & a pipette--which doesn't work with bite holes.
Just found your channel and absolutely loved this video. I also knit, quilt, cross stitch, crochet, sew, spin, and would love to learn to weave. (Am I correct that I spied a loom in the background?). I just happened to be refolding some quilts made by myself and some by my husbands grandmother as I watched your video. Conservation videos would be fabulous as I noticed so some damage on the quilts made by hubby’s grandmother - likely from lots of use. I would love to be able to repair them so I can pass them to my sons someday. Thanks for the fabulous video, now I need to go back to beginning and watch them all!😊
Hi Angela, Yes, you did see a loom. I’ve not been able to use it much lately but I’m hoping to again soon. I pretty much do it all. About the only things I don’t do are things like bobbin lace or tatting. Not for lack of interest, just lack of time. lol
As I watch the moon at midnight, the owls hoot, hoot, such a fright !!! I love wool applique and Black Bird designs, so it would be so fun !! Blessings Claudia. New watcher
Oh yes please do a video re conserving quilts, thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and all your wonderful finds!!
Enjoyed watching your video and seeing all your beautiful ffo’s and wips love your wool projects. I would enjoy learning about repairing your quilts.
Have a wonderful day and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
First time viewing, enjoyed very much, it's a good midnight watch!
Love your floss tube. I watch it at midnight.
I loved your antique quilts you found,that diamond is a beauty ! Sounds like Agatha is giving you a run for your money !😸 . I have been wanting to stitch Midnight Watch also, I just love it !
Poor Agnes! She was fortunate you took her in! Had a black cat named Midnight when I was growing up!

I love your beautiful finish. Thank you for sharing. I love the choices you make with your floss and fabric and your wool appliqué is so sweet. I love wool appliqué. Midnight
Our black cat is called midnight and she is the fourth cat that has adopted us ❤

Agnes is quite the character, that’s for sure!
I'd definitely love a series of quilt restoration videos. I say go for it. Love your cross stitch project choices and wool applique WIPs. I hope Agnes settles down and becomes less of a crazy banshee.
I sure hope so! I think she may just be a little bored inside. I hope anyway.

Midnight Watch by Blackbird Designs would be a fun stitch. Thanks for sharing your stitching with us.

That’s exactly what you should be doing with grandmas quilts. There’s not much point having them if they can’t be enjoyed.
Midnight looks like such a great stitch I hope one day I get to add it to my collection. It’s always a pleasure to watch your Flosstubes.
Thank you, Linda.

I love seeing your wool applique. Agnes is a great name. I would love to learn more about quilt conservation. Midnight
Your Midnight Watch will be beautiful. I think I love all things Blackbird designed. Wish this was still available for purchase.
Midnight. Love your studio!
Glad to see you back. I stayed up till midnight to watch
I would love seeing videos about old quilt restorations. I really enjoy your videos and always find a project OR TWO that I want to do. Wool appliqué is my favorite too.
Happy to pass the torch to the next crafter. LOL

It's almost midnight, as I watch your video. Agnes sounds like a hoot
Would love to stich Midnight Watch in honor of Agnes! What a spirit she has
Thanks so much for sharing your wool projects. I would love to see how to repair a quilt. Hope you have a great couple of weeks.
Enjoyed your video very much. Loved your choice of linen for stitching Midnight Watch.
We like to sit around the fire pit watching the flames until midnight. Looking forward to seeing another video.
Jane is a wonderful stitcher, finisher, designer. You will enjoy her patterns.
Great video! Love your choice of fabrics! Would Love the Midnight watch pattern.😊
I was just thinking that I had not seen you for awhile and this video appeared! I see now that I have missed a couple. And I have been admiring the Midnight Watch pattern for awhile. Thanks 😊
Hi Cathy, here I am! (Waving hand above head.)
Love black cat patterns! Midnight. Found my black cat after a Halloween ghost tour of a historic fort in a very dark parking lot. Tiny kitten with very loud voice. Had her for over 20 years.
Aww, that sounds a little creepy I’m glad you were there to find her.
I loved seeing all your wool projects! I vote for tea-dyeing the sampler to match more with what your aesthetic is. Nothing is white in my house…it just feels too stark with primitive decorating. 😉
I agree. I’ve tried to lighten things up lately but white tends to stand out.
I love the wool applique things. I've done the pin cushions that were a set. Yes, they were all in the same pattern. Primitive Gatherings have some great prim patterns. I really dislike the prep work, but love the stitching. I find it very relaxing.
Seems like there should be an easier way to do the prep work, but I’ve never figured it out.
Your studio would be a fabulous venue for some midnight stitching and crafting💚🪡
Your craft studio is beautiful. Love watching you. Midnight
Thanks, Debbie.
I would love to stitch Midnight Watch! It's such a great pattern and I love Blackbird Designs.
Midnight watch would be fun to stitch. I enjoyed seeing all your wool projects. Wool is so fun to work with. Good luck with Agnes.
Thanks. I’m sure we will figure it out eventually. Most of our pets have be problem childs. lol
I would be very interested in quilt conservation videos. I have a delicate, hand sewn family quilt with fraying and torn fabric pieces. Always enjoy your videos and good luck with Agnes. She is lucky to have found you. Thank you!

They are adorable 😆 I’m also going to look for the ‘In the meadow we can build a snowman’ quilt. So super cute. Can’t wait for your next video 😀
Hi Debbie, I hope you find the pattern. It’s a great pattern that could stay up all winter.
Thanks for another video! Love seeing all of your projects. You must be crafting past midnight to get them all done!
Hi Anita!
Love all your projects! I love seeing your wool appliqué! I just started teaching myself and it’s so much fun! I totally get it about the cat fuzz, I have a houseful of fur babies in my house and battling the fuzz is an issue. It’s almost Midnight 😊….. nighty night😴
I’ve decided to take the attitude, if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em. I’ve started collecting my long haired cats fur. I’ve seen people needle felt it into little things. I plan to make finger puppets for my grandkids. LOL

I really enjoy watching your videos. We have similar tastes. Midnight is on my wish list also.
My first black kitty was named Midnight. He was a love. Love all your wool applique. I use a damp rag to remove cat hair from my penny rugs. I would antique your sampler to give it some age. Thanks Christine.
I’ve never tried a damp rag, but I will now. I bet that works well.
I would love to see you do videos on how to restore antique quilts. Your wool applique pieces are beautiful. I need to get my fingers back into working with wool. I look forward to your next video, hopefully before midnight...lol!!!
There’s just something about the texture of wool that is so satisfying.
I would love to see your process and knowledge in restoring old quilts!
Thanks for sharing I enjoyed your video! Your work is beautiful! I would love to see how to repair or conserve antique quilts.
Love all your projects! I made the Pumpkin Wool Mat!
A wonderful video! I love your antique quilts and would love to know how to preserve them. I do wool appliqué also and enjoyed seeing your patterns.
I commented too quickly. I would love you to make videos that show how to repair antique quilts without ruining them. Yeah! Best, K
I love to see all your crafts and the gems from your antique shops! Conservation tutorials would be great. I could watch at midnight while I cross stitch!
Yes, please on sharing your knowledge of restoring and preserving vintage quilts. I also appreciate you sharing your ancestors’ history as you do your research. You are very fortunate to have such a rich history in your family. Love Agnes! Sorry she is a little stinker though. 🙀
I do love your videos…you have such a variety of things to show and you do indeed inspire me. I have not tried wool applique but you have made me think about giving it a try. Regarding Agnes…we have had to return a cat to a shelter because she was terrorizing another cat. It was such a hard decision, but it was the right decision because we could not change the behavior. Someone else adopted that cat, who really belonged in a one-cat household. I hope you can adjust Agnes to your home, but, if not, she might fit in better in someone else's. I love seeing your many projects and of course I love the studio. Midnight.
Hi Jill. I am worried that may end up being the case with Agnes. There are things we can do to safely try to get them used to each other and if that fails we will have to consider plan b.
I have an Agnes! She’s a ginger cat 🐈 - but I have a midnight cat 🐈⬛ named Chrysanthemum as well. Polar opposite personalities! Have to love them where they are!! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts!!
I had a stray called Midnight years ago. We took in a Orange Cat and named him Cheddar. We got him last June. He is crazier then any cat I have ever had! He can not be left out on his own or he will destroy the house! He's a work in process! We love him though! Yes, I would be very interested in anything to do with old Quilts! I have some to fix!
I had one for awhile named Jack that was the same way. lol Bless their hearts.
@@mountaincraftsstudio Indeed!
My best friend in grade school had a pet feral cat that lived under her back porch. Scary and weird! I would love to stitch midnight! Thanks for sharing! Had to go and order the big book, nice deal. Love your smalls, I need to do alot of finishing here! But you've inspired me.
We have another cat that we’ve been seeing in the woods and around our barn. Definitely feral. I’ve been trying to convince it to live in the barn by leaving food out for it.
I really hope you will do videos on restoring antique quilts. A friend gave me a quilt her great-grandmother made, circa 1860. The binding is really frayed, but I'm not sure how to fix it. Also, Agnes, despite being a challenge, is one lucky girl that you found her. Love your videos. Thank you.
I’ll definitely be doing the videos. I started pulling out my old quilts and I have many that could use some attention.
First time to see your channel, and I love it so much! Thanks for sharing your projects. I may buy that embroidery projects book! Your cross stitch finishes and wool projects art so beautiful.
Thanks for stopping by, Tami!
Wow is all I can say. So many things. Yes, wool is easy to work with and I often wonder why I’m not doing more of. I have one “appliqué” quilt which I believe is a Lori Smith that was supposed to be made all in quilters cotton. I decided to do all the appliqué in wool as customer came into my shop with hers. I loved it so much. I called to all the ladies in the back class to come look at this most magnificent quilt. All but one took one look at it , turned on their heels and went back to class. The other lady and I bought background cotton and wool to start the quilt. In my area wool a no go. Much like you I’ve gotten bogged down on the appliqué cutting for the border. I currently don’t have the brain width to do it. I had to close the shop in the middle of working on it due to husband’s medical emergency. I finished all I had cut out but just the getting to the cutting isn’t working. Hoping I will get myself in gear as it would be a perfect project for this current medical emergency he’s going through. So brainless and relaxing when the pieces are cut and ready. I’d love to see your quilt conservation techniques. I have a passion for antique quilts and love the 2 you found. Midnight is a special time for cats!
How interesting that they weren’t sold immediately! I really had to force myself to get the pieces traced. I’ll have to do it again with the snowman quilt. I always love the end result, I don’t know why it’s such an issue for me.
@@mountaincraftsstudio apparently it is the location in which I live. I had wool manufacturers who told me that to the south , north, and west of me the wool sells, but in my location it doesn’t. She warned me not to buy the wool from her. Did I listen? No, but three of us bought the wool and we were happy!
I’d love to learn more about quilt conservation! I also looked up Lori Smith quilts and ordered a couple patterns, thanks for sharing your beautiful framed piece.
Her patterns are gorgeous. I have a few more projects of hers waiting for me.
Thank you for sharing your stitching with us. It is always nice to see what you like to work on. I wonder what time of day you like to stitch. Myself, I am a night owl and have been stitching at Midnight many a night. Best wishes with the 🐈⬛.
I’m with you and stitch late into the night.
Beautiful finish on It’s a Changed World. Thanks for sharing. Yes please, a series of preservation quilt would be wonderful.
I need to just get started on my wool appliqué also. I get intimidated at the start of the project also. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Fall Stitching!🍂🍁♥️🪡🧵
Yes I would love a quilt conservation tutorial
Since you asked for ideas…I might leave it as is since the frame is not antique but more of a modern look.
Such a lovely studio. And you are very talented 😊
Midnight . I finished the blackbird design piece you are stitching and put it into a mantle clock face. Love different finishing ideas.
Oh, that is brilliant! I bet that is beautiful. I love that type of finish. Nothing is safe from me turning it into something else. My husband thinks I’m not right in the head because he can’t see the potential of things.
What a lucky find, that frame is perfect for your small stitch. So sorry that Agnes has become a wild child. Good luck getting her acclimated to your other cats. Great projects, as always. Stay well. Best, K
Agnes is so lucky to have you! Yes, I’d be interested in watching videos on quilt repair. Thank you! Midnight.
Thanks for all of the inspiration! Look forward to seeing your knitting bag’s progress. I may just make one like that. Right now I have zipper ones & I am very careful about closing them so that the wool does not get caught. The draw string bag is probably a good idea.
Would love to know more about conserving/restoring quilts. All knowledge & information gratefully accepted. I have a quilt from my grandmother which I was advised to”throw out”. Didn’t even consider doing that. It is carefully folded on a quilt ladder for display. Happy stitching🧶🪡🧵
Hi Carol,
The drawstring is great when you need to quickly stop and stuff your project in your bag, like when you get called into the doctor’s office.
Thanks Christine! I ordered the book from Amazon. Looks like a nice project to start. Need to pick out some fabric. During the summer I made a mitred square blanket (free pattern on Ravelry) so I had a large project bag of all the colours I was going to use & a smaller one for the square I was working on. Used up so many of those little balls of leftover sock yarn. I think that people make the pattern for baby blankets. The blanket looks good. May make another one. 👍
@@carolalanliversage6077 I think I know which one you are talking about. I have the crochet blanket pattern that is just one giant granny square to make someday. That will be a scrap buster for sure.
I would love to stitch midnight. I’ve been wanting this pattern all fall. Good luck with Agnes. I went to Catholic schools and I remember there was a nun everyone dreaded getting , Sister Agnes. I have total sympathy now, at the ripe old age of 67, for what those women dealt with. But she was a heller.
Bless her heart.
I love all of your wool pieces!!!😍 The quilts are fantastic! I would love to watch you give tips on preserving them! Oh, Agnes! I hope she acclimates to her new space and learns to play nice with the others! ❤ 🐈⬛🐈
Thank you for sharing. I think a conservation series would be very interesting. Love the sampler. God Bless You!
I was excited to see that you had a new video up. I enjoy seeing what is going on in your studio. Recently, I was thinking about a quilt top I somehow ended up with, trying to decide what to do with it...should I finish it, care for it, etc. I'm not sure if there was a name for them, but its from my grandmas wedding in the 1940's. The ladies from her church (I think???) each made a block for this quilt top (I believe there's one from my great grandmother, who was her mother-in-law to be). Sadly, it was never finished and I have become its caretaker. So, yes, I would love if you did a series on quilt conservation.
Did they sign their names to the blocks? That used to be popular.
@@mountaincraftsstudio I believe the embroidered their names. Its been about 15 years since I had it out.
Love your wool projects and would like to see quilt repair videos, I too am often asked to repair others and I’ve done a few.
Hi Debra. There are so many out there in need of repair I know a person could make a career of it if they wanted.
Love seeing all of your projects. 😊 Would love to stitch Midnight Watch. 💕💕😊
Hi Cathy!
I totally understand about the new cat. I am debated whether or not to get a second cat so our February adoption isn't so lonely, but I am concerned what will happen to the house while we are at work. And sometimes, Lana is up at midnight meowing at us. Love the antique quilts.... always a great find. I would love to learn how to patch a tear. The afore mentioned cat jumped up onto a wallhanging chasing a bug and needless to say it needs a patch now.
Oh dear, I can see that happening.
Midnight Watch is beautiful, I would also love to stitch it.
Just found your TH-cam . Like it! Midnight is great, I’m a night owl. Never stitched much with wool appliqué. Saw the finished oval bird piece on Shanda’s TH-cam piece on an older dated filming. I could never get either of my daughters interested in any needlework, whether when they were young or older. I will be looking for your conservation quilt TH-cams.
Hi Denise, thanks for stopping by.
I absolutely love working with wool! I have the two books you showed and have made a couple of things. Anything to do with wool!! Love your finishes and the large framed piece is stunning!! Your quilt purchases are amazing! The Midnight stitch will be beautiful!! You have such a kind heart for Agnes. She is a lucky girl!!
What a wonderful space you’re in!! I love your wool appliqué!! Just ordered a beginner project from Under the Woolen Willow and looking forward to learning. I recently purchased Lisa Bongean’s book “Wool, Needle and Thread”. Thanks for your encouragement and inspiration!! Also, love midnight chart. Thanks!!
Autumn is my favorite season and I love being in our tiny cottage in the woods and be creative. You have inspired me to think about making an Emily Monroe inspired quilt for the cottage. My mind is whirring with ideas.
I had hoped we would see Agnes again. Maybe you can insert a little video of her now? I no longer have a cat because we were heartbroken over the loss of a very special cat followed by the loss of a kitten we got afterwards. We travel weekly back and forth from our apartment to the cottage in the woods. Not easy for a cat to be in a car. But I collect cat charts and love the midnight cat.
Loved seeing your wool applique! The framed piece is fabulous but also the pin pillows.
I would love to watch a series of quilt conservation videos. I have never bought antique quilts because of now being sure about how to conserve them. I quilt by hand.
Happy stitching 🧵 and a wave from The Netherlands Heidi
I will give an update on Agnes when I can. She can be a sweetheart when she wants to.
Just found your channel. I would love any advice on repairing and conserving older quilts and quilt tops. I enjoyed seeing your wool applique pieces. I like many forms of needlework and Midnight Watch looks like a fun stitch..Looking forward to more.!
Hi Lynne
You totally transformed The Scarlett House sampler for me and I immediately paused and purchased the chart. Most definitely interested in the quilt conservation series. I have a few wool kits that need to see the light of day. Thanks for always sharing so many interesting things with us and inspiring us to create, Kristy.
It really makes a difference, doesn’t it?! That black box kept throwing me off from day one.
I would love to see videos repairing old quilts. I enjoy all your needlework projects.
Yes on the vintage
Enjoy watching your channel. Love your studio space! Midnight Watch is a great chart!
A Changed World is beautify - lovely way to mark this time in history. I especially like your modification and am curious to know if you are using the called for threads and fabric. Thank you for rescuing Agnes- now that she is healthy she is no doubt acting her age- likely under 2 and needs toys. I've heard it is easier to introduce a male to an existing female but please call the vet for helpful suggestions, otherwise there could be fur flying...
Yes, I used the 100/3 silks and Baked Clay but a different count than what was called for. I used 36.
@@mountaincraftsstudio Thank you so much!
I would so be interested in knowing how to conserve my "my Grandmother's Flower Garden" stitch by my grandmother for my graduation and used on my bed for 20 years and it began to disintegrate so I have it carefully vacuumed sealed to figure out what if anything I can do.
I had a black cat named midnight but our housekeeper insisted on calling him Shine. LOL. I’d love to try wool appliqué, but have no idea how to start or where to get materials. What a great idea to cover books with fabric!
I think wool appliqué is the easiest type of appliqué to learn. You might enjoy visiting buttermilkbasin.com. They have loads of small kits to choose from. You could try one to see if you like it. It is basically just glueing wool together, then blanket stitching the edges. There are lots of ways to do the gluing. I use an appliqué basting glue, but I’m pretty sure plain old Elmer’s school glue would work. You only need a teeny tiny bit to get it to stay while you stitch it.
@@mountaincraftsstudio what a cute store! I’ve done needleturn appliqué before, so that part won’t be too hard, I think. It’s just the materials and assembly that I need to learn about. Thank you for the recommendation!
I love the midnight chart. I’m almost done stitching BBD Away we ride.
I like that one, too and I’ve considered looking for the chart a few times. So many charts, so little time.
Had to turn our only walk-in closet into a teeny 6X12 craft room b/c our rescue *midnight* tuxedo was also sweet kitty for 2 weeks, then...boom! She appointed herself "owner-dominator of all craft items." lol
I feel like it may be just the newness of being indoors combined with her young age. Or she might just be a nutcase. Too early to tell really. lol
@@mountaincraftsstudio 2 yrs and our kitty's doing so much better (though she's still banned from the craft "micro-studio"). She absolutely loves herself some floss, yarn & a pipette--which doesn't work with bite holes.
Just found your channel and absolutely loved this video. I also knit, quilt, cross stitch, crochet, sew, spin, and would love to learn to weave. (Am I correct that I spied a loom in the background?). I just happened to be refolding some quilts made by myself and some by my husbands grandmother as I watched your video. Conservation videos would be fabulous as I noticed so some damage on the quilts made by hubby’s grandmother - likely from lots of use. I would love to be able to repair them so I can pass them to my sons someday. Thanks for the fabulous video, now I need to go back to beginning and watch them all!😊
Hi Angela,
Yes, you did see a loom. I’ve not been able to use it much lately but I’m hoping to again soon. I pretty much do it all. About the only things I don’t do are things like bobbin lace or tatting. Not for lack of interest, just lack of time. lol
