Sarah - welcome to the general embroidery world. Not just cross stitch, but other styles of embroidery. I have done all kinds of embroidery all my life and have belonged to my local Winnipeg Embroiderers' Guild for many years. I was Treasurer, Vice-President and President and even designed the tartan for our Guild which is registered in Scotland. Those "specialty stitches" in some cross stitch pieces are merely part of the general embroidery pantheon. You will enjoy learning new things. Our guild has Zoom stitch ins several times a month.
Hello, Nicole, so good to see you. I, too, have done many kinds of embroidery and I am thrilled to be a part of the this guild. I look forward to expanding my knowledge and appreciate all of your encouragement. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! Glad you enjoyed your visit with your daughter and Vince. I had to laugh that you didn’t realize you were showing the back of your stitching. Tome, this is a testament to how neat your back is that you can’t tell the front from the back😊 Loved seeing your progress on O Joyous Day as I’m also stitching this. I took it to the Grace Notes retreat this month and got the whole house “ painted”. Now I need the roofers to come in and build the roof. Thanks for a great video, be well and stitch what makes your soul happy.❤
Good morning, Susan, so nice to see you. Such a lovely and thoughtful comment. I have been hearing about the Grace Notes retreat and it sounded lovely. I am starting to feel the finish on Oh Joyous Day, but must remember that I have a bit of satin stitching to complete as well. Thank you for watching and your continued support. Take care, my friend.
Hello, Jude, so good to see you. I am very glad that I have joined a guild, been meaning to for a long time. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
So loved your flosstube! Your shares were AMAZING! Thanks to all who submitted your stitching accomplishments. And you are such an enabler! Loved your WIPS AND PLANS! I would dearly love to meet you on a zoom call but I’ve never learned how. Hugs to Stan for his amazing intro song, still gives me chills!
Hello, so nice to see you. I would be more than happy to show you how easy it would be to Zoom. Just shoot me an email (address is in the description box). I will share your remarks with Stan. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
I had to giggle - my son who is 15 still sometimes signs “more” just out of habit! Signing relieved such much of my stress as a mom! Eddie is gorgeous! That is such a fun stitch. I love all of your wips and your progress is wonderful. I can’t wait to see what EGA brings to you! Zoom (as always 😂)
Good morning, dear Karen, so nice to see you. I am a big proponent of ASL even in hearing children as a transition to the spoken word. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
I'm so glad you joined the EGA and spoke about it in your flosstube! I joined my local chapter a year ago and have loved every minute of it - I've made new friends and met some lovely women. I've wondered why I don't hear about it from more flosstubers - hopefully you will be an "EGA Influencer" and increase membership in local chapters.
Hello, Denise, so good to see you. I am looking forward to my time with the guild and thrilled to hear you are enjoying. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Yea for the Embroiderers Guild, I have been a member of the Southern Maine chapter since 1988. I have learned so much , taken many classes , lectures, events, and have many wonderful friends. Be as active as you can in your local chapter and have fun.
Good morning, so nice to see you. I am looking forward to my membership with the guild. It is wonderful to have the option of Zoom, right? Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Red is certainly your color, Sarah! I'm looking at the piece I am working on now, and there are three hanging threads of hope. Thought of you yesterday and smiled. I'm drastically changing colors, and am going to have to go back and recolor some of what it done (not a ton) but think I will be happier with the changes. When I was stuck and unsure, I remembered coloring when I was a child and could happily pick whatever color I wanted. Not using crayons! But threads are the just another coloring tool - so am going forward. Thanks for the Flosstube inspiration.
Hello, Marcia, so good to see you. You are exactly right and it brought back those childhood memories of sitting with that open box of colors and all its possibilities. Thank you for watching and your kind and wise comment. Happy stitching.
Always lovely to catch up with you and see all your stitching progress - front or back 🤣 It was wonderful to get a shout out for the Flosstube that Sarah and I did together. It was such fun and so lovely to have chatted with her! Happy Stitching xx
Hello, Sally, so nice to see you. I can’t believe I never noticed I was showing the back. FlossTube brain, right? Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
🙋♀️ Sarah, wonderful video….so excited when I heard my name read had to back it up & listen again to be positive 🤣 so looking forward to that❣️ prayers always…along with kindness our best forms of communication in my humble opinion such great laundry basket of WIP’S …plans look wonderful, I have ES Spot Motif as a WIP such a fun sampler ♥️ see you soon…
Hello, LaNelle, so good to see you. It was wonderful to meet you during the Zoom and I look forward to more. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah I sure do love all of your beautiful stitching. I just can’t wait until you do your videos. You make me so happy with your attitude and your beautiful smile. Love you
Wonderful! I just joined the EGA and my chapter is Show Me Stitchers! I joined for my birthday. I love embroidery too but have not done any in a long time. My stickers are on my water jug! Great group of people, very talented in cross stitch, needlepoint, quilting, bead work, etc. Have fun!
Hello, Jeanne, so good to see you. I am looking forward to my journey with the guild. I have not done embroidery in many years, but did enjoy it. Thank you for watching and your kind support, my friend.
You make me smile when I see your videos. They are packed full of beautiful stitching, love and caring. Very excited about having my name chosen. Looking forward to next week!
Thanks for the video visit! I have started the Pennsylvania Red Deer, as I finished the last of my holiday ornaments, and awarded myself a new start! Gave the temperature dragon to my son this weekend, and he loves it. He's going to decide how he wants it FFO'd (pillow, plaque, framed, etc). Once that is determined, I'll create the color key and info for the piece so he has all of that. Looking forward to seeing you on the 24th!
Hello, Deb, so good to see you. The meeting on the 24th was wonderful. I look forward to the FFO of temperature dragon. Thank you for watching and all of your kindness. Happy stitching.
You might want to also try Soie Surfine for over 1 - it's thinner than 100/3, and can be used with a smaller needle. I always use it with a #12 short tapestry point beading needle for over 1 and I think scaling both the thread and the needle to the stitch makes it easier. Thank you so much for your kind words - you are truly such a beautiful and generous soul. Small world, too! We used to go to Bear Valley when I was a child, and we'd always stay in Murphys.
Good morning, Katie, so nice to see you. I will pick up a couple Soie Surfines and give it a try. I do want to become confident and adept at one over one stitching. I lived in Murphys 24 years ago and Eva learned to ski at Bear Valley. Thank you for watching and your kind support.
Hi Sarah, what a wonderfull happy hour you gave me this morning, thank you, you brought many smiles on my face. Nice to see a picture of you and Ava, mu daughter Charlotte is a little blonder but besides that, they look a little alike. This week she had a NIPT test and everything was all good, very thankfull for that. In the first week of september we find out if we we're going to have a granddaughter or another grandson, very exiting. I love all your projects, wish I had more time for cross stitch, I'm onlu working on 2 at this moment. Looking forward to your sampler september. Have fun tomorrow with your Zoom-meeting. -xx-
Hello, Marion, so good to see you. I am so glad everything is going well with your daughter’s pregnancy. I don’t know the sex of Eva’s baby as yet. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Sarah!! Greetings from Dallas!! Hot hot hot Dallas! It’s suppose to get up to 101 today and 106 by Monday! Yikes!! I’m so glad I have my stitching to keep me busy indoors and under the ceiling fan! LOL!!! It’s always so great to get your videos and see all the projects you’re stitching on. Loved seeing all the samplers you’re planning on stitching on for Sampler September. So much fun!!! Thanks for all you do!! Hugs!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Hello, Michael, so good to see you. We have finally cooled off a bit here. I think we had 30+ days in triple digits so far this summer. I am really ready for fall weather. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Love and hugs right back at you.
Hi Sarah! I’m going to the retreat in Murphys too. Looking forward to meeting you in real life. My friend Clare, who will be on your next Zoom meeting, is also a member of Vintage Stitchers and I believe will be at the retreat too. It will definitely be a fun weekend. Always love your videos and seeing your wonderful stitching. Monica
Hello, Monica, so good to see you. I am quite excited about the retreat in Murphys and looking forward to meeting you both in person. It also appears we will be able to meet at the Zoom meeting on the 8th. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Thank you so much Sarah for sharing with us your stitching passion with so joyful words. It is a great pleasure to watch your video. Have a sweet afternoon. ❤ Isapassions
Congrats Sarah, your WIP progress is amazing. Your efforts to host Voom chats is a treasured experience for all. Can't wait to hear about your EPP projects. I saw the Lucy Boston EPP post on Instagram. Take care.
As always, a pleasure to visit with you ❤ I've been curious about joining my local guild, and now you've made me more interested.... Looking forward to hearimng more about your guild adventures!
Hello, Caroline, so good to see you. I am looking forward to my time with the guild going forward. I have really enjoyed the FlossTubes with the English designers. What a group of talented designers. Thank you for watching, my friend.
Hello, Karin, so nice to see you. I have so many hummingbirds, I almost feel guilty. It is a full time job keeping them supplied with sugared water. Thank you for watching and your kind support. Happy stitching.
Good morning, Alison, so nice to see you. I enjoy sharing the stitching of others very much. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Another wonderful flosstube Sarah! The hummingbirds-, lol we are in a severe drought in WV, so I spend literally hours a day feeding and watering hummingbirds, other birds, squirrels and chipmunks and deer. Takes up stitching time, but to have a deer look you directly in the eyes as if to say thank you, makes it worth it. Blessings
Hello, Bonnie, so nice to see you. I completely understand about the wildlife. A drought hits our animals very hard. I know they appreciate your care and good soul. Thank you for watching and the kind comment. Happy stitching.
Love hearing you say you’re loving 1/1❤. Sorry, didn’t realize Vince is deaf. Glad you had some training in ASL. If you bring Sarah Milthorp to the next stitch in and mark your starting point I can help you if needed to stitch the 1/1 using 100/3. It wasn’t too hard for me on A Stitch In Time, and that was on 36 count 😊 Great pic of Mira with Annie ❤
Hello, Angie, so good to hear from you. Vince is not deaf, we are teaching him sign language as a bridge to verbal speaking. I have been meaning to bring both Ann Campion and Sarah Milthorp to our meetings and forget every time. Thank you for watching and your continued support. Happy stitching.
Of course of course of course this is a great video - so much interesting stuff to look at, and your cheerfulness and enthusiasm is a great addition to my floss tube viewing - I look forward to your videos. I will say "zoom" this time and hope to be chosen for a time that I can make it!
Hello, Emily, so nice to see you. I always appreciate your kind words and support. Thank you for watching. I look forward to a Zoom meeting in the near future. Happy stitching.
Thx Sarah!! Great video!! My grandson was taught sign language, 25 years ago. I had no clue. Daughter a great mother. Grin. Fast forward to our great grandson, grandsons nephew, who head been learning it. It is soooo helpful for when they are non verbal, you understand their needs so much more, less frustration all around. Glad you mentioned it.
Hello, Connie, so nice to see you. From my college courses in ASL, learning sign language can also facilitate their speaking first words. I also taught to my 11 year granddaughter when she was a baby. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! Again, another wonderful FT: always such fun to see what you have been stitching on and to see your upcoming plans. Just a thought, I would love to start the ES Spot Sampler with you! I have had it kitted for years and it would be a perfect for Sampler September! Keep me/us posted on what you decide. Would so love to join in the fun! Thank you so much for bringing us so much happiness and excitement with your love of stitching! Take care and C U at our stitching group in the coming months!
Hello, Patty, so good to see you. I will let you know when I plan to start ES Spot Sampler. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hello, Kara, so nice to see you. I enjoyed meeting you so much. The Smith Sampler is such a joy to stitch. Come on and jump in, you will love it. Thank you for watching and your kind support. Happy stitching.
A joy as always, Sarah! Thank you for the EGA info! Pleasanton would be my chapter too, so I’m going to check into that! So glad Eva is doing well! Zoom!
Hi Sarah 😍 So good to see you! I had an amazing time on your stitchy zoom and hope we see each other again on another one! ❤️ Great stitching as always and thanks for keeping me company!
Good morning, Alex, so nice to see you. I am thrilled with having these Zooms and meeting everyone. You are one of the gifts to our stitching community. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
It is always such a pleasure to see you. Your enthusiasm gives me such a boost! Thanks for the reminder of the EGA. I need to rejoin. I was a member before I retired. Interested about Grouper as well. What, pray tell, did you do to your arm? Hope you didn't take a tumble while walking your new pup. Take care, Sarah. ❤
Good morning, Kris, so nice to see you. Unfortunately, sweet Annie can easily break the skin with her paws. I call it my grandmother’s arms. I guess I have reached that age. No falls, yet. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Great video Sarah! Thank you for the tip about free autumn patterns from Little Loops. On it! I was fortunate to be able to view “The Red Dress” embroidery project in person at Southern VT Art Gallery in Manchester, VT last summer. Truly an awesome masterpiece of needlework. The story behind the project is fascinating…make sure to read the article in your new guild magazine and if you ever have the chance to see the dress in person, Just Do It!! I would love to Zoom with you ❤
Good morning, Karen, so nice to see you. What an experience to see the Red Dress in person. I will make sure to read the article. Thank you for watching and the kind comment. Happy stitching.
Wow - I was blown away when you called my name for Zoom. I can't wait!!! Your progress is so awesome and you know I love all your projects. See you next week.
Hello, Debby, so good to see you. It was so wonderful to meet you at the Zoom and I look forward to more in the future. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! Your WIPs are looking beautiful. Well done on conquering your dislike of over-one stitching! Thanks for keeping me company this evening as I stitch on Pavane for These Times and wind down from a full day of soccer games and sunshine with my son. Happy stitching! -Leah Noel
Hello, Leah Noel, lovely to see you. I love that I could keep you company as you stitched. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. I remember the days of soccer. My middle daughter, Allison, was quite the soccer player. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! It's been almost a year since I've been on Flosstube and I've missed the interactions! This past week, I've sat and caught up on all your videos since last August when Chester passed 🥺 Vince has grown! Annie is beautiful! And it's just been wonderful to watch you again! Zoom sounds fantastic! 🥰
Good morning, Barb, it is wonderful to see you again. I had noticed the absence and glad to hear that all is well. How sweet of you to catch up on the videos. Thank you for watching and I look forward to a Zoom in our future. Happy stitching.
Sweet Sara. I look forward to every video and hope one day to meet you via ZOOM! Your WIPS are inspirational and I love seeing your progress and the shares and plans. Thanks for including sweet photos of Annie and those beautiful faces of your children and grands. Family is EVERYTHING and every moment is precious. Happy stitching! xoxo
Hi Sarah! So great to catch up with you today! Your smith sampler is looking amazing! OMG the piece you showed your back was STUNNING even from the back haha. You were making me laugh by saying who am I katie strachan? haha. Love it. Incredible that your back looks that good! I was working on my summer mermaid while watching your video! Happy stitching!
Well, hello again, Andrew, trying to get caught up on my comments. What a wonderful day!! Loved meeting Andrew! Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching and safe travels.
Hi Sarah, enjoyed this very much!. 😂 been thinking about joining a Guild and was going to visit one next Thursday to what it's all about. Wow a retreat in California (YES). It's northern California but who cares. Live in Southern California just had that earthquake 9 miles away but just a jolt. ❤
Hello, Yvonne, so good to see you. I was very excited to hear about the retreat in Northern California and ecstatic that it is so close to where I live. Glad to hear you suffered no damage from the earthquake. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Sarah, I’m so very sorry I missed the second zoom on the 11th. I was thrilled to hear my name called on your last video. Thank you for including me and love that you enjoy time with your viewers!
Hello, Stacy, so good to see you. Please let me know if you would like me to move you to the next Zoom call on September 8th. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Hello, so good to see you. I think the “happy hour” concept gives me some freedom to stitch on a variety of projects while also focusing on others. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hello again Sarah 👋. I am always stunned by the amount of stitching you manage to do. I'm in awe, I haven't managed to stitch in a week I'm test knitting a summer tee pattern for the designer & the deadline is September 4!! I love all your big samplers with their bed sheets of fabric and I love that you mostly always have threads hanging off projects 😂. I hope to meet you on ZOOM soon. Sending hugs xx
Hello, Audrey, so good to see you. So, today is the 4th, did you finish your summer tee? I appreciate that you “get me” and the large swaths of fabric and dangling threads. LOL. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
@@SarahsStitchySpot unfortunately I didn't get the summer tee finished. Sadly my friend passed away just after I put this message up. I just can't pick it up at the moment but I'm sure that I will get back my concentration after the funeral on Saturday 7th. Sending you much love xxx
Hi Sarah! It was wonderful to meet you and a bunch of other wonderful stitchers last week via Zoom! I am so happy that you put these calls together - please feel free to put me on your back-up list for future calls. I also loved seeing your hummingbirds. I also love hummingbirds and wish we had that many in Chicago. Take care ❤
Good morning, Lisa, so nice to see you. I enjoyed meeting you and the others as well. This morning I had so many hummingbirds around my two feeders, it almost sounded like a helicopter. I love them so. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Good morning, Linda, so nice to see you. I am now planning to do both pieces as I will have enough room on my piece of fabric. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah, another great video. I always smile when I see you have a new FlossTube. All your WIPS are coming along beautifully. I love your Eddie & Patsy it is so gorgeous and your Betsy’s Spring Basket is beautiful. I have all 4 of the seasons baskets plus the others ones she has. I love them all, I haven’t started any of them yet but seeing your start makes me want to start one of them too. Glad to hear that Eva is doing good, my prayers will still be with her and family. Looking forward to your next FlossTube ❤
Hello, Pauline, so good to see you. I am such a fan of Pansy Patch Quilts and Stitchery and would love to stitch all of her patterns as well. Eddie and Patsy is another favorite. Thank you for watching, your kind comment, and continued prayers for Eva. Happy stitching.
Thank you Sarah. So enjoy your videos. What a positive force in our community you are. Now I have to dash and cook. I'd love t o be on one of your zooms.
Hello, Virginia, so nice to see you. I am looking forward to our Zoom meeting that is coming up. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching.
Sarah, what a surprise that you mentioned you were a Doctor, because at this moment I have developed a physical condition which I just discovered that it was caused by my inactivity in my daily life. So now I have to start slowly with a exercise therapy . I found that I was stitching for way to many hours straight without leaving my chair. I went from a month of limping to pain that I couldn't walk. Please point this out to fellow stitching friends. I'm waiting to hear from Grouper.
Hello, Theresa, so good to see you. You are so very right. It is very important to get up and move around during our stitching. It is one of the ways I complete bits and bobs of housework, laundry, etc. Stan and I always walk every morning with dear sweet Annie. Thank you for watching and I hope you continue to feel better every day. Happy stitching, with breaks!
Wonderful to see you and all of your beautiful WIPS! The only thing better would be to see you in person on Zoom! Glad to hear that Eva is doing well! Hope that you and Stan are enjoying a nice weekend!
Hello, Dee, so good to hear to see you. I think over all two days would be the better choice over three. Thank you for watching. Looking forward to hearing your September plans. Happy stitching.
Congratulations on joining EGA! I have been a member since 1998 and have a local chapter here in NJ. They have great programs and National Seminars. I would love to join your Zoom meetings.
You will love being a member of EGA. I am a past member of the Dayton OH chapter. The friendships I made & the techniques I learned are some of my most valued memories. You are a delight to listen to & one of my favorite Flosstubers! Happy Stitching!
Hello, Carrie, so nice to see you. I am looking forward to my association with this guild and love hearing of your wonderful experiences. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching.
I would love a chance to zoom with you Sarah! I almost always watch on my tv so it’s a little more challenging to like and comment - it really just takes a wee bit more effort, it’s the mental remembering that is a bit hard! Thanks for all you do! Hugs and blessings on your coming week! ❤
Thank you Sarah! Another great flosstube! Thank you for sharing! So many beautiful wips! You are making g great progress on them! Hopefully we can zoom and see each other’s faces soon! Happy stitching!
Another fantastic😅 video! I have to decide on my sampler for Sampler September, I’m thinking about the Smith Sampler. Continued prayers for Eva and the family🙏 Zoom😊
Hello, Barbara, so good to see you. I am thrilled you have chosen the Smith Sampler. What fabric, what floss? Thank you for watching and the continued prayers for Eva. Happy stitching.
Oh I was talking to her via messenger for many yrs, have shared info on healing (have her book), recipes, and of course crafts. I also had grown sunflowers and never had any bloom, this yr had buds and I had said will show you a pic when it blooms. Well I was happy sad as it bloomed day after she died, bittersweet. I will miss her dearly, but have maNy photos, watercolours and notes from her snd will add that with her book. She definitely will be missed.😢❤ shares are awesome. I have a biscournu pattern but haven’t started,won’t be this yr. My daughter has 7 chicks well they aren’t old but are pretty big, and 3 just tiny ones. Her husband is building the coop which is amazing as he doesn’t have a clue about building and is doing great. I am not a monogamous stitcher ever,however, sigh lol I am still working on totem since Feb1. I am on the last page finally! Omg Stephanie is so funny on her videos her Nashville and now these are so funny. Probably loiuse chap-pwe. Hard to spell,phonetically. The sound of p and we. Like saying ph ph we. Lol Great to hear Eva is well❤ see you next time!
Hello, Rebecca, so good to see you. That is a wonderful idea to purchase her book. You are so wonderfully supportive. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
I belong to my local EGA and it is great, your group seems great as well. Love all your projects and plans for Sampler September, I plan on working on three WIPS and a new start as well. Going to do Georgiana from HATS on 56 count, who am I? Happy Stitching. Sending good thoughts for Eva and family.
Good morning, Renee, so nice o see you. How exciting to hear that you will be jumping into Jean’s 56 count warriors. I hope you will keep me abreast of your progress. I am enjoying my time with the samplers. Looking forward to the journey with EGA. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Hello, Nancy, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and the kind comment. I look forward to a Zoom stitch in our near future. Wasn’t Midsummer Stitch the best? Happy stitching.
Hello, Sarah. Such a lovely video today thanks for all the inspiration. I’m about to start a 1 over 1 stitch on 28 count linen by Jody at Cedar River Linens - I’ll post on IG my progress if I can do it. 😊 I’ve been having fun feeding jelly to Baltimore Orioles this year and oh my gosh - they go through a lot of jelly. I wish I could get some hummingbirds to come to feed though. OMG I love that Edie and Patsy bird pattern and I don’t know why I haven’t started it yet - except I can’t decide what color linen to stitch it on 🤔 Zoom
Hello, dear Peg, so good to see you. I looked up the Baltimore oriole and it is beautiful. How fun to have them in your yard. These birds are little piggies, the way they eat. You would love Eddie and Patsy. I enjoy every stitch. Looking forward to a Zoom in the near future. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! I was organizing all my WIPs with your video playing in the background. Not smart as your beautiful projects just add more to my wish list! Zoom Zoom!
Oh, Sarah, I don’t know who you’re fooling when you say you’re taking a big drink of “water” but if you insist it’s water, I can play along, though your “water” drinking may explain why we only saw the back of Sarah Milthorpe today. It looks perfectly nice, and maybe next time you’ll share the front with us, but no pressure there. Oh, and did I tell you that you’re looking particularly fetching today, and as always, earring appropriate (you always look lovely). Your PS Santas are so cute. I’m very impressed with the size of their fabric. Does the second Santa need a dotted line around the border, or he didn’t come with one? Your MFE large piece is very pretty, and the soft colours look great on that fabric. And speaking pretty fabric, your Pennsylvania deer is so pretty on that reddish fabric. Your hummingbirds are amazing!!! Even if they eat a lot, they’re incredible and you’re doing good by giving them nourishment. Pretty view out back with the woods. Isn’t nature wonderful. I’ve seen a woodpecker and a few sweet bunnies this past week, but alas, no hummingbirds. As to Cherry Hill- when you say you’ve pulled her dress down a little, Percy just rolled his eyes at me. Really, Sarah? She’s still hanging out in the breeze. Cooler weather is coming, so please give her more of a skirt. No one wants icicles hanging from their nether regions come winter. Stitch, Sarah, stitch!! Hope all is well with you, Stan, Eva, Annie and the rest of your family. Sending big hugs 🥰
Good morning, Arleen, you are just the breath of fresh air I need. Just because I squeeze a lemon or lime slice in my Yeti with ice doesn’t mean I added any alcohol. Alas, you are right, as I don’t have much of a defense showing the back of Sarah Milthorp. I will have to check but I don’t think the second Santa had the dotted line, but thanks for the heads up. I will keep you posted. I absolutely love working on Tjeerdje and Geertje by MFE and I love the Speculas fabric. (Alas, again, Kerri has not showered me with a lifetime of the fabric.) About the hummingbirds, I think I may have close to a hundred. They often make the noise of a small helicopter. I love them so. Speaking of nature, our neighbors (view from the video clip) had a huge bear in their yard. I don’t want to run into that. I am stitching as hard as I can to winter proof Miss Cherry Hill, but thanks for cracking the whip. Thank you for watching and making the day a little brighter, my friend.
@@SarahsStitchySpot Lemon or lime in your Yeki sounds yummy, so obviously cocktails are at hand. Whatever keeps you happy, Sarah🤪. And to that purpose, Kerri should be sending heaps of free Speculas. How else can you adequately celebrate your birthday, 4th of July, and other holidays? Your hummingbirds sound amazing. Can't believe you get so many. You must be making their nectar all the time. Your neighbour's bear sounds much less wonderful. Let's hope the bear doesn't hear how nice you are and want to stop by to visit. Miss Cherry Hill and I appreciate your efforts. I look forward to seeing her in a long parka next video. And please keep a good thought for me, as I had screening last week and will have results in the next 1-2 weeks. Take care, and happy stitching, dear Sarah.
Hello, Chris, so nice to see you. We missed you on Saturday, but I understand that your plate has been very full. The Stitchcation was quite successful and appreciated. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.

Good morning, Susan, so nice to see you. Such a lovely and thoughtful comment. I have been hearing about the Grace Notes retreat and it sounded lovely. I am starting to feel the finish on Oh Joyous Day, but must remember that I have a bit of satin stitching to complete as well. Thank you for watching and your continued support. Take care, my friend.
I boggles my mind how much you get done. I also will look into the Embroidery Guild it sounds like something that is right for me.
Hello, Jude, so good to see you. I am very glad that I have joined a guild, been meaning to for a long time. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
So loved your flosstube! Your shares were AMAZING! Thanks to all who submitted your stitching accomplishments. And you are such an enabler! Loved your WIPS AND PLANS! I would dearly love to meet you on a zoom call but I’ve never learned how. Hugs to Stan for his amazing intro song, still gives me chills!
Hello, so nice to see you. I would be more than happy to show you how easy it would be to Zoom. Just shoot me an email (address is in the description box). I will share your remarks with Stan. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
I had to giggle - my son who is 15 still sometimes signs “more” just out of habit! Signing relieved such much of my stress as a mom! Eddie is gorgeous! That is such a fun stitch. I love all of your wips and your progress is wonderful. I can’t wait to see what EGA brings to you! Zoom (as always 😂)
Good morning, dear Karen, so nice to see you. I am a big proponent of ASL even in hearing children as a transition to the spoken word. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
I'm so glad you joined the EGA and spoke about it in your flosstube! I joined my local chapter a year ago and have loved every minute of it - I've made new friends and met some lovely women. I've wondered why I don't hear about it from more flosstubers - hopefully you will be an "EGA Influencer" and increase membership in local chapters.
Hello, Denise, so good to see you. I am looking forward to my time with the guild and thrilled to hear you are enjoying. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Oh Sarah, so many beautiful WIPs! And wow, your progress on the Smith sampler is really inspirational to me ❤❤❤
Hello, Phoebe, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind support. Happy stitching.
Yea for the Embroiderers Guild, I have been a member of the Southern Maine chapter since 1988. I have learned so much , taken many classes , lectures, events, and have many wonderful friends. Be as active as you can in your local chapter and have fun.
Good morning, so nice to see you. I am looking forward to my membership with the guild. It is wonderful to have the option of Zoom, right? Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Red is certainly your color, Sarah! I'm looking at the piece I am working on now, and there are three hanging threads of hope. Thought of you yesterday and smiled. I'm drastically changing colors, and am going to have to go back and recolor some of what it done (not a ton) but think I will be happier with the changes. When I was stuck and unsure, I remembered coloring when I was a child and could happily pick whatever color I wanted. Not using crayons! But threads are the just another coloring tool - so am going forward. Thanks for the Flosstube inspiration.
Hello, Marcia, so good to see you. You are exactly right and it brought back those childhood memories of sitting with that open box of colors and all its possibilities. Thank you for watching and your kind and wise comment. Happy stitching.
Always lovely to catch up with you and see all your stitching progress - front or back 🤣 It was wonderful to get a shout out for the Flosstube that Sarah and I did together. It was such fun and so lovely to have chatted with her! Happy Stitching xx
Hello, Sally, so nice to see you. I can’t believe I never noticed I was showing the back. FlossTube brain, right? Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
🙋♀️ Sarah, wonderful video….so excited when I heard my name read had to back it up & listen again to be positive 🤣 so looking forward to that❣️ prayers always…along with kindness our best forms of communication in my humble opinion such great laundry basket of WIP’S …plans look wonderful, I have ES Spot Motif as a WIP such a fun sampler ♥️ see you soon…
Hello, LaNelle, so good to see you. It was wonderful to meet you during the Zoom and I look forward to more. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah I sure do love all of your beautiful stitching. I just can’t wait until you do your videos. You make me so happy with your attitude and your beautiful smile. Love you
Good morning, Barbara, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Wonderful! I just joined the EGA and my chapter is Show Me Stitchers! I joined for my birthday. I love embroidery too but have not done any in a long time. My stickers are on my water jug! Great group of people, very talented in cross stitch, needlepoint, quilting, bead work, etc. Have fun!
Hello, Jeanne, so good to see you. I am looking forward to my journey with the guild. I have not done embroidery in many years, but did enjoy it. Thank you for watching and your kind support, my friend.
Wonderful to see you Sarah. Loved your projects as well as the stitching you shared from others. A zoom with you would be a joy to participate in!
You make me smile when I see your videos. They are packed full of beautiful stitching, love and caring. Very excited about having my name chosen. Looking forward to next week!
Hello, MaryAnn, so nice to see you. It was wonderful to meet you during the Zoom. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Glad your meetings by zoom are going so well Sarah! I enjoy every episode you film. Thanks for your time.
Good morning, Kristine, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
As always, love your fabric choices. It inspired me to hand dye more of my own fabrics❤
Love Garden Sampler❤ And I just love you❤
Hello, Rebecca, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Love ya right back.
Thanks for the video visit! I have started the Pennsylvania Red Deer, as I finished the last of my holiday ornaments, and awarded myself a new start! Gave the temperature dragon to my son this weekend, and he loves it. He's going to decide how he wants it FFO'd (pillow, plaque, framed, etc). Once that is determined, I'll create the color key and info for the piece so he has all of that. Looking forward to seeing you on the 24th!
Hello, Deb, so good to see you. The meeting on the 24th was wonderful. I look forward to the FFO of temperature dragon. Thank you for watching and all of your kindness. Happy stitching.
You might want to also try Soie Surfine for over 1 - it's thinner than 100/3, and can be used with a smaller needle. I always use it with a #12 short tapestry point beading needle for over 1 and I think scaling both the thread and the needle to the stitch makes it easier. Thank you so much for your kind words - you are truly such a beautiful and generous soul.
Small world, too! We used to go to Bear Valley when I was a child, and we'd always stay in Murphys.
Good morning, Katie, so nice to see you. I will pick up a couple Soie Surfines and give it a try. I do want to become confident and adept at one over one stitching. I lived in Murphys 24 years ago and Eva learned to ski at Bear Valley. Thank you for watching and your kind support.
Thank you so much for your wonderful shoutout and I’m so glad you like the Birds and Barns Sal. Fabulous video 💕💕
Hello, Sami, so good to see you. I was honored to shout out your FlossTube and beautiful designs. Thank you for creative talent. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah, what a wonderfull happy hour you gave me this morning, thank you, you brought many smiles on my face. Nice to see a picture of you and Ava, mu daughter Charlotte is a little blonder but besides that, they look a little alike. This week she had a NIPT test and everything was all good, very thankfull for that. In the first week of september we find out if we we're going to have a granddaughter or another grandson, very exiting.
I love all your projects, wish I had more time for cross stitch, I'm onlu working on 2 at this moment. Looking forward to your sampler september. Have fun tomorrow with your Zoom-meeting. -xx-
Hello, Marion, so good to see you. I am so glad everything is going well with your daughter’s pregnancy. I don’t know the sex of Eva’s baby as yet. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Sarah!! Greetings from Dallas!! Hot hot hot Dallas! It’s suppose to get up to 101 today and 106 by Monday! Yikes!! I’m so glad I have my stitching to keep me busy indoors and under the ceiling fan! LOL!!! It’s always so great to get your videos and see all the projects you’re stitching on. Loved seeing all the samplers you’re planning on stitching on for Sampler September. So much fun!!! Thanks for all you do!! Hugs!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Hello, Michael, so good to see you. We have finally cooled off a bit here. I think we had 30+ days in triple digits so far this summer. I am really ready for fall weather. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Love and hugs right back at you.
Thank you, Sarah! ❤ I appreciate what you do for our stitching community.
Hello, Connie, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! I’m going to the retreat in Murphys too. Looking forward to meeting you in real life. My friend Clare, who will be on your next Zoom meeting, is also a member of Vintage Stitchers and I believe will be at the retreat too. It will definitely be a fun weekend. Always love your videos and seeing your wonderful stitching. Monica
Hello, Monica, so good to see you. I am quite excited about the retreat in Murphys and looking forward to meeting you both in person. It also appears we will be able to meet at the Zoom meeting on the 8th. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Thank you so much Sarah for sharing with us your stitching passion with so joyful words. It is a great pleasure to watch your video. Have a sweet afternoon. ❤ Isapassions
Hello, dear Isabelle, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching.
Great progress on your beautiful stitching.
Continued positive thoughts for Eva.
Marilyn
Hello, Marilyn, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching, your kind comment and continued good thoughts for Eva. Happy stitching.
Congrats Sarah, your WIP progress is amazing. Your efforts to host Voom chats is a treasured experience for all. Can't wait to hear about your EPP projects. I saw the Lucy Boston EPP post on Instagram. Take care.
Good morning, Susan, so good to see you. I need to start cutting out some new hexis. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
As always, a pleasure to visit with you ❤ I've been curious about joining my local guild, and now you've made me more interested.... Looking forward to hearimng more about your guild adventures!
Hello, Caroline, so good to see you. I am looking forward to my time with the guild going forward. I have really enjoyed the FlossTubes with the English designers. What a group of talented designers. Thank you for watching, my friend.
Love your progress on your wips. I love your hummingbirds. Happy stitching! Zoom
Hello, Karin, so nice to see you. I have so many hummingbirds, I almost feel guilty. It is a full time job keeping them supplied with sugared water. Thank you for watching and your kind support. Happy stitching.
🤣You’re totally Katie Strachan. 😂 Seriously- thank you for the inspiration!! Every piece makes me want to stitch it. 🎉
Hello, so good to see you. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for watching and your continued support. Happy stitching.
Thank you for sharing everyones stitching. I love seeing it!!
Good morning, Alison, so nice to see you. I enjoy sharing the stitching of others very much. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Another wonderful flosstube Sarah! The hummingbirds-, lol we are in a severe drought in WV, so I spend literally hours a day feeding and watering hummingbirds, other birds, squirrels and chipmunks and deer. Takes up stitching time, but to have a deer look you directly in the eyes as if to say thank you, makes it worth it. Blessings
Hello, Bonnie, so nice to see you. I completely understand about the wildlife. A drought hits our animals very hard. I know they appreciate your care and good soul. Thank you for watching and the kind comment. Happy stitching.
Love your earrings. Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching.Happy stitching
Helllo, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Love hearing you say you’re loving 1/1❤. Sorry, didn’t realize Vince is deaf. Glad you had some training in ASL. If you bring Sarah Milthorp to the next stitch in and mark your starting point I can help you if needed to stitch the 1/1 using 100/3. It wasn’t too hard for me on A Stitch In Time, and that was on 36 count 😊 Great pic of Mira with Annie ❤
Hello, Angie, so good to hear from you. Vince is not deaf, we are teaching him sign language as a bridge to verbal speaking. I have been meaning to bring both Ann Campion and Sarah Milthorp to our meetings and forget every time. Thank you for watching and your continued support. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah
A Great Video - The Stitching is just beautiful.
Prayers for all of you
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️
Good morning, Linda, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching, your kind comment, and prayers for our family. Happy stitching.
Of course of course of course this is a great video - so much interesting stuff to look at, and your cheerfulness and enthusiasm is a great addition to my floss tube viewing - I look forward to your videos. I will say "zoom" this time and hope to be chosen for a time that I can make it!
Hello, Emily, so nice to see you. I always appreciate your kind words and support. Thank you for watching. I look forward to a Zoom meeting in the near future. Happy stitching.
Thx Sarah!! Great video!!
My grandson was taught sign language, 25 years ago. I had no clue. Daughter a great mother. Grin. Fast forward to our great grandson, grandsons nephew, who head been learning it. It is soooo helpful for when they are non verbal, you understand their needs so much more, less frustration all around.
Glad you mentioned it.
Hello, Connie, so nice to see you. From my college courses in ASL, learning sign language can also facilitate their speaking first words. I also taught to my 11 year granddaughter when she was a baby. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! Again, another wonderful FT: always such fun to see what you have been stitching on and to see your upcoming plans. Just a thought, I would love to start the ES Spot Sampler with you! I have had it kitted for years and it would be a perfect for Sampler September! Keep me/us posted on what you decide. Would so love to join in the fun! Thank you so much for bringing us so much happiness and excitement with your love of stitching! Take care and C U at our stitching group in the coming months!
Hello, Patty, so good to see you. I will let you know when I plan to start ES Spot Sampler. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Joy to watch & see what you have been working on again. Zoom ♥️

Hello, Catharina, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
It is always such a pleasure to see you. Your enthusiasm gives me such a boost! Thanks for the reminder of the EGA. I need to rejoin. I was a member before I retired. Interested about Grouper as well. What, pray tell, did you do to your arm? Hope you didn't take a tumble while walking your new pup. Take care, Sarah. ❤
Good morning, Kris, so nice to see you. Unfortunately, sweet Annie can easily break the skin with her paws. I call it my grandmother’s arms. I guess I have reached that age. No falls, yet. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Great video Sarah! Thank you for the tip about free autumn patterns from Little Loops. On it!
I was fortunate to be able to view “The Red Dress” embroidery project in person at Southern VT Art Gallery in Manchester, VT last summer. Truly an awesome masterpiece of needlework.
The story behind the project is fascinating…make sure to read the article in your new guild magazine and if you ever have the chance to see the dress in person, Just Do It!!
I would love to Zoom with you ❤
Good morning, Karen, so nice to see you. What an experience to see the Red Dress in person. I will make sure to read the article. Thank you for watching and the kind comment. Happy stitching.
Wow - I was blown away when you called my name for Zoom. I can't wait!!! Your progress is so awesome and you know I love all your projects. See you next week.
Hello, Debby, so good to see you. It was so wonderful to meet you at the Zoom and I look forward to more in the future. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! Your WIPs are looking beautiful. Well done on conquering your dislike of over-one stitching! Thanks for keeping me company this evening as I stitch on Pavane for These Times and wind down from a full day of soccer games and sunshine with my son. Happy stitching! -Leah Noel
Hello, Leah Noel, lovely to see you. I love that I could keep you company as you stitched. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. I remember the days of soccer. My middle daughter, Allison, was quite the soccer player. Happy stitching.
So glad Eva is doing well. Great video.
Hello, Lisa, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your well wishes for Eva. Happy stitching.
Wow that modern folk embroidery project is so cool! Can wait to see it progress
Oooohhhh the swan!
Good morning, ladies, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind support. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! It's been almost a year since I've been on Flosstube and I've missed the interactions! This past week, I've sat and caught up on all your videos since last August when Chester passed 🥺 Vince has grown! Annie is beautiful! And it's just been wonderful to watch you again! Zoom sounds fantastic! 🥰
Good morning, Barb, it is wonderful to see you again. I had noticed the absence and glad to hear that all is well. How sweet of you to catch up on the videos. Thank you for watching and I look forward to a Zoom in our future. Happy stitching.
Sweet Sara. I look forward to every video and hope one day to meet you via ZOOM! Your WIPS are inspirational and I love seeing your progress and the shares and plans. Thanks for including sweet photos of Annie and those beautiful faces of your children and grands. Family is EVERYTHING and every moment is precious. Happy stitching! xoxo
Hello, Barbara, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Family is so important. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! So great to catch up with you today! Your smith sampler is looking amazing! OMG the piece you showed your back was STUNNING even from the back haha. You were making me laugh by saying who am I katie strachan? haha. Love it. Incredible that your back looks that good! I was working on my summer mermaid while watching your video! Happy stitching!
Well, hello again, Andrew, trying to get caught up on my comments. What a wonderful day!! Loved meeting Andrew! Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching and safe travels.
Hi Sarah, enjoyed this very much!. 😂 been thinking about joining a Guild and was going to visit one next Thursday to what it's all about. Wow a retreat in California (YES). It's northern California but who cares. Live in Southern California just had that earthquake 9 miles away but just a jolt. ❤
Hello, Yvonne, so good to see you. I was very excited to hear about the retreat in Northern California and ecstatic that it is so close to where I live. Glad to hear you suffered no damage from the earthquake. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Sarah, I’m so very sorry I missed the second zoom on the 11th. I was thrilled to hear my name called on your last video. Thank you for including me and love that you enjoy time with your viewers!
Hello, Stacy, so good to see you. Please let me know if you would like me to move you to the next Zoom call on September 8th. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Zoom 🤞 Great projects on the go and on deck. Happy hour is a great gift to give yourself 🤓
Hello, so good to see you. I think the “happy hour” concept gives me some freedom to stitch on a variety of projects while also focusing on others. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Oh, I have always loved hummingbirds ❤ How lovely! Today I had a fishhawk splash into my fresh water bird bath❤ I was so entranced!!
I almost feel guilty that I have so many hummingbirds, but I love them so. Birdbaths provide lovely bird watching as well.
Hello again Sarah 👋. I am always stunned by the amount of stitching you manage to do. I'm in awe, I haven't managed to stitch in a week I'm test knitting a summer tee pattern for the designer & the deadline is September 4!! I love all your big samplers with their bed sheets of fabric and I love that you mostly always have threads hanging off projects 😂. I hope to meet you on ZOOM soon. Sending hugs xx
Hello, Audrey, so good to see you. So, today is the 4th, did you finish your summer tee? I appreciate that you “get me” and the large swaths of fabric and dangling threads. LOL. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
@@SarahsStitchySpot unfortunately I didn't get the summer tee finished. Sadly my friend passed away just after I put this message up. I just can't pick it up at the moment but I'm sure that I will get back my concentration after the funeral on Saturday 7th. Sending you much love xxx
@@audreymcdevitt9611I am so sorry for your loss. Please know I am keeping you in my heart. ❤❤
@@SarahsStitchySpot ❤️x
Hi Sarah! It was wonderful to meet you and a bunch of other wonderful stitchers last week via Zoom! I am so happy that you put these calls together - please feel free to put me on your back-up list for future calls. I also loved seeing your hummingbirds. I also love hummingbirds and wish we had that many in Chicago. Take care ❤
Good morning, Lisa, so nice to see you. I enjoyed meeting you and the others as well. This morning I had so many hummingbirds around my two feeders, it almost sounded like a helicopter. I love them so. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Love the sewn in friendship it's stunning
Good morning, Linda, so nice to see you. I am now planning to do both pieces as I will have enough room on my piece of fabric. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah, another great video. I always smile when I see you have a new FlossTube. All your WIPS are coming along beautifully. I love your Eddie & Patsy it is so gorgeous and your Betsy’s Spring Basket is beautiful. I have all 4 of the seasons baskets plus the others ones she has. I love them all, I haven’t started any of them yet but seeing your start makes me want to start one of them too. Glad to hear that Eva is doing good, my prayers will still be with her and family. Looking forward to your next FlossTube ❤
Hello, Pauline, so good to see you. I am such a fan of Pansy Patch Quilts and Stitchery and would love to stitch all of her patterns as well. Eddie and Patsy is another favorite. Thank you for watching, your kind comment, and continued prayers for Eva. Happy stitching.
Thank you Sarah. So enjoy your videos. What a positive force in our community you are. Now I have to dash and cook. I'd love t o be on one of your zooms.
Hello, Virginia, so nice to see you. I am looking forward to our Zoom meeting that is coming up. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching.
Sarah, what a surprise that you mentioned you were a Doctor, because at this moment I have developed a physical condition which I just discovered that it was caused by my inactivity in my daily life. So now I have to start slowly with a exercise therapy . I found that I was stitching for way to many hours straight without leaving my chair. I went from a month of limping to pain that I couldn't walk. Please point this out to fellow stitching friends. I'm waiting to hear from Grouper.
Hello, Theresa, so good to see you. You are so very right. It is very important to get up and move around during our stitching. It is one of the ways I complete bits and bobs of housework, laundry, etc. Stan and I always walk every morning with dear sweet Annie. Thank you for watching and I hope you continue to feel better every day. Happy stitching, with breaks!
Wonderful to see you and all of your beautiful WIPS! The only thing better would be to see you in person on Zoom! Glad to hear that Eva is doing well! Hope that you and Stan are enjoying a nice weekend!
Hello, Carol, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching, your kind comment, and good wishes for Eva. Happy stitching.

I do my WIPs every 2 days, so it doesn't feel like I have to work on it like a chore. 😉 I need to make my Sept. plans!!!

Hello, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind words. Happy stitching.
I would love a chance to zoom with you Sarah! I almost always watch on my tv so it’s a little more challenging to like and comment - it really just takes a wee bit more effort, it’s the mental remembering that is a bit hard! Thanks for all you do! Hugs and blessings on your coming week! ❤
Hello, Diane, so nice to see you. I look forward to a Zoom in the near future. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.

Good morning, Linda, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Oh I was talking to her via messenger for many yrs, have shared info on healing (have her book), recipes, and of course crafts. I also had grown sunflowers and never had any bloom, this yr had buds and I had said will show you a pic when it blooms. Well I was happy sad as it bloomed day after she died, bittersweet. I will miss her dearly, but have maNy photos, watercolours and notes from her snd will add that with her book. She definitely will be missed.😢❤ shares are awesome. I have a biscournu pattern but haven’t started,won’t be this yr. My daughter has 7 chicks well they aren’t old but are pretty big, and 3 just tiny ones. Her husband is building the coop which is amazing as he doesn’t have a clue about building and is doing great. I am not a monogamous stitcher ever,however, sigh lol I am still working on totem since Feb1. I am on the last page finally! Omg Stephanie is so funny on her videos her Nashville and now these are so funny. Probably loiuse chap-pwe. Hard to spell,phonetically. The sound of p and we. Like saying ph ph we. Lol Great to hear Eva is well❤ see you next time!
❤. Hi Sarah! Another lovely video! I can’t wait to see you again and hug your neck! ❤
Hello, Deborah, so good to see you. I can promise that hug felt so good and comforting. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Really enjoyed the zoom call. Thanks for such a great opportunity to meet other stitchers around the world.
Hello, Angela, so nice to see you. The Zoom call was wonderful and I look forward to many more. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Loved the Momma Witch cross stitch mermaid, but All of the Shares were just gorgeous!!
Isn’t that just the cutest?
I love your idea of the zoom meetings of 10.… Small enough to get to know each other. Thanks for the reminder to check out the EGA in our area.
Good morning, Barbara, so nice to see you. The small Zoom stitches have been delightful. Thank you for watching and the kind comment. Happy stitching.
Love Daniel! So to honor Daleen, I ordered her book, Practical Hope. I would encourage others to buy from Amazon in remembrance of our sweet lady❤
Hello, Rebecca, so good to see you. That is a wonderful idea to purchase her book. You are so wonderfully supportive. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Love seeing your projects!
Hello, Kristi, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
I belong to my local EGA and it is great, your group seems great as well. Love all your projects and plans for Sampler September, I plan on working on three WIPS and a new start as well. Going to do Georgiana from HATS on 56 count, who am I? Happy Stitching. Sending good thoughts for Eva and family.
Good morning, Renee, so nice o see you. How exciting to hear that you will be jumping into Jean’s 56 count warriors. I hope you will keep me abreast of your progress. I am enjoying my time with the samplers. Looking forward to the journey with EGA. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Thank you for the wonderful inspiration. I would love the chance to zoom with you again (we met briefly at Midsummer Stitch)
Hello, Nancy, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and the kind comment. I look forward to a Zoom stitch in our near future. Wasn’t Midsummer Stitch the best? Happy stitching.
Hello, Sarah. Such a lovely video today thanks for all the inspiration. I’m about to start a 1 over 1 stitch on 28 count linen by Jody at Cedar River Linens - I’ll post on IG my progress if I can do it. 😊 I’ve been having fun feeding jelly to Baltimore Orioles this year and oh my gosh - they go through a lot of jelly. I wish I could get some hummingbirds to come to feed though. OMG I love that Edie and Patsy bird pattern and I don’t know why I haven’t started it yet - except I can’t decide what color linen to stitch it on 🤔 Zoom
Hello, dear Peg, so good to see you. I looked up the Baltimore oriole and it is beautiful. How fun to have them in your yard. These birds are little piggies, the way they eat. You would love Eddie and Patsy. I enjoy every stitch. Looking forward to a Zoom in the near future. Happy stitching.
Enjoyed as always,! Zoom.
Hello, Kathleen, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
Hi Sarah! I was organizing all my WIPs with your video playing in the background. Not smart as your beautiful projects just add more to my wish list! Zoom Zoom!
Good morning, Brenda, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching. Looking forward to a Zoom soon. Happy stitching.
Such a great video. Red is definitely your color. Zoom 😊
Hello, Lonna, so good to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
Fabulous!
Good morning, Sian, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and your kind comment. Happy stitching.
You look so pretty in red
Another great flosstube! Hoping to meet you on a Zoom call soon. 😊
Good morning, Anita, so nice to see you. Thank you for watching and the kind comment. Happy stitching.
Oh, Sarah, I don’t know who you’re fooling when you say you’re taking a big drink of “water” but if you insist it’s water, I can play along, though your “water” drinking may explain why we only saw the back of Sarah Milthorpe today. It looks perfectly nice, and maybe next time you’ll share the front with us, but no pressure there. Oh, and did I tell you that you’re looking particularly fetching today, and as always, earring appropriate (you always look lovely).
Your PS Santas are so cute. I’m very impressed with the size of their fabric. Does the second Santa need a dotted line around the border, or he didn’t come with one? Your MFE large piece is very pretty, and the soft colours look great on that fabric. And speaking pretty fabric, your Pennsylvania deer is so pretty on that reddish fabric.
Your hummingbirds are amazing!!! Even if they eat a lot, they’re incredible and you’re doing good by giving them nourishment. Pretty view out back with the woods. Isn’t nature wonderful. I’ve seen a woodpecker and a few sweet bunnies this past week, but alas, no hummingbirds.
As to Cherry Hill- when you say you’ve pulled her dress down a little, Percy just rolled his eyes at me. Really, Sarah? She’s still hanging out in the breeze. Cooler weather is coming, so please give her more of a skirt. No one wants icicles hanging from their nether regions come winter. Stitch, Sarah, stitch!!
Hope all is well with you, Stan, Eva, Annie and the rest of your family. Sending big hugs 🥰
Good morning, Arleen, you are just the breath of fresh air I need. Just because I squeeze a lemon or lime slice in my Yeti with ice doesn’t mean I added any alcohol. Alas, you are right, as I don’t have much of a defense showing the back of Sarah Milthorp. I will have to check but I don’t think the second Santa had the dotted line, but thanks for the heads up. I will keep you posted. I absolutely love working on Tjeerdje and Geertje by MFE and I love the Speculas fabric. (Alas, again, Kerri has not showered me with a lifetime of the fabric.) About the hummingbirds, I think I may have close to a hundred. They often make the noise of a small helicopter. I love them so. Speaking of nature, our neighbors (view from the video clip) had a huge bear in their yard. I don’t want to run into that. I am stitching as hard as I can to winter proof Miss Cherry Hill, but thanks for cracking the whip. Thank you for watching and making the day a little brighter, my friend.
@@SarahsStitchySpot Lemon or lime in your Yeki sounds yummy, so obviously cocktails are at hand. Whatever keeps you happy, Sarah🤪. And to that purpose, Kerri should be sending heaps of free Speculas. How else can you adequately celebrate your birthday, 4th of July, and other holidays?
Your hummingbirds sound amazing. Can't believe you get so many. You must be making their nectar all the time. Your neighbour's bear sounds much less wonderful. Let's hope the bear doesn't hear how nice you are and want to stop by to visit.
Miss Cherry Hill and I appreciate your efforts. I look forward to seeing her in a long parka next video. And please keep a good thought for me, as I had screening last week and will have results in the next 1-2 weeks. Take care, and happy stitching, dear Sarah.
We have a few EGA members in For The Love Of Stitches, but I think they may be Camellia Chapter. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Hello, Chris, so nice to see you. We missed you on Saturday, but I understand that your plate has been very full. The Stitchcation was quite successful and appreciated. Thank you for watching. Happy stitching.
