Well Jean! That episode was worth the cost of a workshop. I never understood how the backstitching was important if I wanted to make a shaped design. Thanks. And I also wondered how to correctly incorporate beads. Thanks, again. The pattern you offered is appreciated. Thanks some more. The slipknot to begin was genius. More thanks. I really appreciated this episode, can you tell! A word about your ‘Green Book’. Please don’t sell it. You have the original. It is now worth a tidy price. I am a weaver and a word about your coverlet. The particular overshot pattern is Summer and Winter. One side shows dark (that is the winter side) and the other summer. It is made with flax as the warp (lengthwise threads) and weft, and wool is the two colors ‘overshooting’ the ground fabric. It feels rough because it is a complete ground cloth (plain weave) with the wool on top. Theoretically, you can cut off the colored wool threads and you would have a complete plain weave fabric underneath. (Please don’t do this😊)I have a coverlet, red and black, in a similar pattern. I use it like any other blanket. Enjoy your textiles. The coverlet period is about 1835.
Thanks for the insight. Way back in the early 1970's I was teaching middle school geography and restoring a family home (my daughters being the 8th generation, unbroken, to live in that house). I gained the handiwork of many Farish women who lived there, including that coverlet. I think it was one strip intended to be sewn to another strip (or more) to cover a bed. The book was given to me by a sweet student who knew I loved old things and especially old textiles. I treasure both the book and the weaving!
Thank you, Jean! It’s so nice when you provide a bit of history with your work. Your tutorials are always so good - your closeup camera is excellent along with your soothing instructional voice. I love this pattern and also the horse ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ - I may have to get both of them. Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful scissor fob! I can’t wait to stitch some of these for my quilty/stitchy friends as a “we are back together again “gift! It’s always wonderful to learn from you 💜
Hi Jean! I am so happy to have found you. I am getting back into cross stitching after many, many years. I want to thank you sincerely for your teaching skills and your presentation. You eloquently share your knowledge, but still make me feel good about the work I am trying to accomplish, even if it’s not going to be “perfect”. I am looking forward to doing Roxie with you!!!! Thank You Jean!
Thanks for today’s instructions on making the scissor fob. You explain how to do it and show your stitches so clearly that I think I could do it too! And also thanks for the free pattern - it’s lovely and I can’t wait to stitch it!
Thank you for all your videos. I have learned so much about cross stitching from watching you. Catching up on all of them now. I want to try my hand at stitching humbug soon. Very cute.
Hello Jean, It is such a pleasure to watch your videos, I have been paying attention and my stitches have been so much better! I just printed out the Humbug pattern and I am looking forward to making several for friends. Thank You !!!! Blessing , Claudia
My grandmother used to save the hair from her hairbrush in a container with a hole in the lid. She used the hair to stuff pin cushions, she said the hair kept the pins sharp and lubricated. I have just subscribed and look forward to following you. Thanks
I am sorry Miss Jean, this is just amazing to me that you not only offered up your free pattern, you show me how to do it also, I wish I could give you a hug. I hope God blesses you ten times ten. I have watched a couple of your videos and I decided to look at your library and it was there. Your a secret Angel. Thank you again.
Jean, I absolutely love this project! I am making one for my daughter, who also loves to cross stitch as a little thank you gift. Her and her hubby have been very attentive to me during this last year. I sort of feel like I am living in the Ground Hog Day Movie, every day is the same in so many ways. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Stay safe and well and kind. Stitch everything you love every day!
Thank you for the pattern and the tutorial, Jean! I've never done this finishing technique before with the beads, but will be sure to try it now, after enjoying your clear example and seeing the lovely results.
i can follow your instructions so much easier than anyone else.....I too have a weaving background and loved it but had to give it up because of space and more attention to husband, who has dementia. Thanks for your time
So thankful for this tutorial. Love the design and the humbug. Thanks for the pattern also. You are truly a "gift" to our cross stitch community! Can't wait to stitch one.
Dear Jean, Thank you for your informative videos. Your demonstrations are clearly photographed and comprehensive. I have been stitching for many years yet continue to learn from you. I have made humbugs previously (Jane Greenoff of the Cross Stitch Guild is very fond of them). I completed my vintage hearts humbug this morning and I am very pleased with your design. I feel the urge to make another one this evening for my friend. Thank you. Take care and best wishes, Linda
Dear Jean, The second humbug for my friend is stitched. Finishing will have to wait until the morning as it is now late evening here in England. As we say “Night, night. Sleep tight”. Thank you again, Linda.
As usual, Jean, you've given us a fabulous tutorial! I now have the courage to try making what before seemed much too complicated for my skills. You made this fun project so doable. Thank you! Kathryn
This was just Wonderful . Jean ! Interesting history on this weaving technique ! LOOOVE your humbug ! How utterly Charming !!! Thank you for this inspirational visit. So am enjoying . Stay safe. marcia
Jean this is so pretty and adorable. Thank you for sharing the Humbug chart and all your videos and tutorials are inspiring, I have become a better stitcher because of you. You are always interesting and informative and I always learn something. So glad I found you. Best Regards and Blessings to you
Such clear directions - I feel like I was sitting next to you in your sewing room. Such a beautiful gift from you and I will make some to pass on as gifts is the plan. Thank you very much! My mother wants to make one also. Such fun to have a stitching buddy 💕
That was wonderful! Never would have imagined that it could be that simple of a finish and look so tedious! Please don’t get me wrong, time consuming but definitely something I could accomplish! Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh, I totally understand! It's like those desserts that take 15 minutes but get rave reviews. I'm all in for simple techniques that look complicated. That is so much better than the other way around!
Thank you for this great tutorial for such an adorable way to finish a small project! I love the beading idea at the top. Thanks for demonstrating it. I finally took the plunge and tried your upside down stitching trick you use for stitching some sections on your pieces (turning the chart and stitching piece upside down). What a game changer!!! I just used that method on 2 pieces I was working on this week and it made the stitching go so much easier!!! Don't know why I was nervous to try it...it was the easiest thing! Always learn something great from you! Thank you!
This was fascinating to me! I loved the overshot weaving - I need to research it - it’s so interesting to me. I also appreciated the demo with the beads. Thank you for this video!
Found you by accident and it was a wonderful accident lol. I’m a weaver who also loves overshot and a cross stitcher. What a wonderful video and pattern you have shared. I can’t wait to stitch this. Thank you very much for the pattern. I hope to learn more from you.
I just love this! The hearts are my favorite motif and the fob/humbug is so pretty with those beads! Thank you for sharing the pattern and the tutorial!
Thanks so much for the pattern and video! I’m thinking of making these occasionally throughout the coming year so that I have them as Christmas gifts for my stitching friends, of course attached to a new pair of embroidery scissors. You can never have too many scissors 😀❤️
Great tutorial - thank you. I am going to try out these techniques and make a humbug - someday. I laughed out loud when you said about the stuffing used "for animals. Not real animals."
Catching up on some of your earlier videos. This is a cute little item but I just don’t get the concept of having a scissor fob. I suppose it’s just decorative. Loved watching you put this Humbug together.
In a practical way, I like the 3-dimensional kind so I can find my scissors when they slip between the couch cushions ... the scissors may slide into the gap but my "fat" scissor fob doesn't. Scissor fobs are identifiers which can be important in a class or retreat when several people have the same type of scissor. Finally, they are a form of creative expression.
Thank you very much for the humbug tutorial. I am going to try this. I am not a 'finisher' because I don't sew. But I think I can do this. You are the best.
Thank you for the tutorial Jean! I always send my finishes out, but you have inspired me to try this humbug finish. Fingers crossed!! Have a great week.
Oh wow!! Just came across your channel with this video suggested on my profile and I’m so glad! This is amazing, from your knowledge of history to the technique! Thank you so much! Great and beautiful work! 🙏🏼❤️
What a great and informative video. Anxious to start such a pretty pattern. You are very easy to follow and you have a lot of patience. In order to cross stitch like you do I will have to do a lot of practicing and will attempt for sure. Thank you for sharing.🙏🧵🪡
Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial! I always say "I stitch, not sew," but I might try it. Although I've not come anywhere close to cording either...hmmm. Either way, I really loved the humbug!
I just found your channel,through a mention from Liz with Country Stitchers. I am going back to all your previous segments to learn as much as I can about you. I am 71 and have quilted for over 40 years, but never even tried cross stitch. I have so much to learn, but find your teachings to be so helpful. I decided to stitch a small pin cushion on 28 count Aida. What was I thinking! I cannot see the weave without a lighted magnifier. I also stitched it with 2 strands over one. It is so tiny. There are no instructions about how many spaces to take. Is that a presumptive that the stitcher should know? Thanks again for such great content.
Hmmm ... I've not heard of a 28-count Aida. I thought 20 count was small! I'd love to hear back from you as to the source so I can expand my own knowledge. Anyway ... Aida is a topic I am covering in tomorrow's episode so I hope you will watch that one, also. But your question about how many spaces to take ... each square on the chart equals one square of the Aida cloth so you make a stitch in each square where one is required. Most charts will have blank squares where you will leave the corresponding Aida square blank also. The exception is what is now referred to as "full coverage" projects where there is a stitch taken in every square and the chart will have a symbol in every square. I hope this helps but if I have missed something, please do tell me!
@@Kitchensurprise Ah, that makes sense! Monaco is an "evenweave" which means it is like linen but not woven from flax; Monaco is 100% cotton. So that means it can be stitched "over one" as you did but is more commonly stitched "over two." Take a look at the video I made for stitching on linen / evenweave fabrics. I think it will help. Here's a link: th-cam.com/video/cIXYsx4MPek/w-d-xo.html Also, read this: www.jeanfarishneedleworks.com/wordpress/its-time-to-set-the-record-straight/ Enjoy!
Beautiful, Beautiful! What a quick fix, love it. You teach with such patience. Question, can you give material info? (Needle size, brand Beads size Fabric count) Thank you, M.
Thanks! I was stitching from my stash so there's not much I can tell you. I have no idea what the white linen is. I think the tan is Zweigart Cashel, Antique Ivory. The needle is a 28 from John James (my fav). The beads are "seed beads" but I don't know the size.
Absolutely love the video. I must make the hum bug and I will be starting a overshot table runner on the loom. I'm new to weaving overshot. Thank you for the inspiration ❤️
Thank you for this cute and fun project! I am planning to make one! Your tutorials are the best and I have learned so much from you and watching you stitch. :)
What is the brand fabric you are using in the video. It looks like it's a more open weave, or is that because it's magnified? I'm just returning to cross stitch and have only stitched on AIDA, this manufacturer looks like it would be an easier weave for counting.
Well Jean! That episode was worth the cost of a workshop. I never understood how the backstitching was important if I wanted to make a shaped design. Thanks. And I also wondered how to correctly incorporate beads. Thanks, again. The pattern you offered is appreciated. Thanks some more. The slipknot to begin was genius. More thanks. I really appreciated this episode, can you tell!
A word about your ‘Green Book’. Please don’t sell it. You have the original. It is now worth a tidy price. I am a weaver and a word about your coverlet.

Great to hear!
I just found your channel,through a mention from Liz with Country Stitchers. I am going back to all your previous segments to learn as much as I can about you. I am 71 and have quilted for over 40 years, but never even tried cross stitch. I have so much to learn, but find your teachings to be so helpful. I decided to stitch a small pin cushion on 28 count Aida. What was I thinking! I cannot see the weave without a lighted magnifier. I also stitched it with 2 strands over one. It is so tiny.

I am sorry. It is not Aida, but DMC Monaco, Evenweave Lugano 28
@@Kitchensurprise Ah, that makes sense! Monaco is an "evenweave" which means it is like linen but not woven from flax; Monaco is 100% cotton. So that means it can be stitched "over one" as you did but is more commonly stitched "over two." Take a look at the video I made for stitching on linen / evenweave fabrics. I think it will help.

I was stitching from my stash so there's not much I can tell you. I have no idea what the white linen is. I think the tan is Zweigart Cashel, Antique Ivory. The needle is a 28 from John James (my fav). The beads are "seed beads" but I don't know the size.

What is the brand fabric you are using in the video. It looks like it's a more open weave, or is that because it's magnified? I'm just returning to cross stitch and have only stitched on AIDA, this manufacturer looks like it would be an easier weave for counting.
Love this! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
