Your finishes and WIPs are all so beautiful and very inspiring! They make me want to pull out so many of mine and work on them. I am looking forward to seeing what you accomplish in 2024. Happy stitching………………
I don’t. Sometimes i used them mostly for the pieces that are on the wall year round but for seasonal or stitchings on dark fabrics I don’t. If I use a glass usually I ask museum non-glare glass. 😊
Hi Heidi Love your Finishes - they are so pretty. Love your WIPS - they are so pretty. Making great progress on them. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️
I enjoyed watching your FT! Hope your new year is filled with all the stitching you want to get done! You can try calling the shop where the dyers are for R&R fabric: Dyeing to Stitch in Virginia Beach, VA… they are the best!! ❤
great video! For the Maurer Stroh monthly flowers - did you use the alphabet provided? If not, could you share how you did the months. I LOVE your font you used. I've got these patterns and planning to kit it up for this year.
Hi I goggled it free alphabet and found one that though matched best and used that. But since then I purchased Brenda Keys’s Ultimate Samplers Motifs Source Book and honestly I love the alphabets she provides 😊
Another great enjoyable flosstube ❤so many beautiful finished. Looking forward to following the wips progress for this year. Wishing you a great and blessed New Year filled with joy and lots of cross stitching time🎉❤🌻😘
Beautiful finishes for 2023. I forget the name of the pattern by Brenda Keys, but that yellow house is gorgeous. I had to pause the video and buy the chart. I finished Brenda Gervais, Every Opening Flower. I love Blackbird Designs. I am currently working on Feast of Friendship (I think is the name of it) by Blackbird Designs, Weeping Tree Sampler by The City Stitcher, Weight Ins series by Stitching with the Housewives, Pumpkin Lane by Pansy Patch Designs, Rose Quacker. One embroidery project and two wool projects. Can't wait to see your progress on your 24 and Blessings Sampler.
Absolutely gorgeous stitching, Heidi..you are an inspiration. I did search a bit for the R&R Winters Brew fabric..I’ve used it on some small pillow quilt designs and really enjoyed it as well. I can’t remember what count of fabric you would like but I did find 36 count in the Traditional Stitches website. Hope that helps. I really enjoy your flosstube. Happy New Year…Suzette
What an amazing stitching year you had, Heidi!!! I am so excited for you to have those finishes! Your WIPs are beautiful and I always come away so inspired by your projects! Thanks as always and happy stitching!
Heidi-What beautiful work you’ve both done and are doing. Thx for this video. Took me awhile to get through it. But well worth it. I can’t even begin to fathom how you get all that done! I only get a couple finishes done a year. And your projects are not small! They’re all pretty large! I love that lovely flower finish you did. As far as framers, I got tired of Michael’s making mistakes on my framing. So I checked out several other framers in my area. One does it out of her home. I had her explain the process she uses for needlework. She knows what’s she’s doing. So if I’m not sending to Jill Rensel, I’ll try that gal. You might try searching for a framer in your area. Might even be less expensive than Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. Also have you thought of making a full gallery wall? It’d be expensive to frame it all, but if you do, that would be a beautiful gallery wall.
That’s my goal to have one day full gallery wall, but cost of framing them all keeps me from having it. I have not checked out other options since I always assumed frame stores might charge more. But it is a good idea to look my area to see if I can find someone who knows needlework and framing. I even thought about taking some summer framing classes from local college so I can maybe frame my own. I see couple of flosstubes doing that, and I love all their framings 😁
Amazing video Heidi!! Those flowers are just beautiful...love the frame too. I am also stitching Evry Opening Flower and hope to finish it by March. It is one of my favorite stitches.
Watch a tutorial for of Stitching with the Housewives. They mount their stitched pieces on Sticky Board, then another Sticky Board with fabric that’s slightly larger and finally onto anything that fits at Hobby Lobby like a frame in the unfinished area, a sign that is covered by the stitching, etc. I do suggest getting some quilt batting to put under your stitching before you mount to Sticky Board or acid free mounting board.
Bonjour, quel bonheur d'admirer toutes ces broderies, elles sont si belles et parfaitement réussies, j'ai mis la traduction française via les paramètres de la vidéo mais les traductions n'étant pas parfaites, Je n'ai pas compris si vous avez brodé toutes ces toiles cette année 2023? Il y en a tellement... 🤩🤩Merci pour la vidéo
Hi! I have worked in picture framing shops and frame out of my home. To help you explain to your framer, you want spacers between the glass and the needlework so that the glass doesn't touch the needlework. This is a good idea even if you don't have beads, buttons or embellishments because the glass will smash your stitches and over quite some time, will pick up a ghost of your image. With regard to how much space you want between the edge of your stitching and the edge of the frame, I call that the float or breathing room for the piece to show separation from the frame molding. Any of these requests are reasonable and should be accommodated. Hope that helps!
Thank you for sharing your experience with me. Usually framers that are not experienced with needleworks look confused when I ask for spacers. It is great idea to let them know what I want and why I am asking for it 😊
Came across your video and fell in love so am a new subscriber. Love all of your projects. Thanks so much for sharing and look forward to watching more videos.
My blessing sampler is 247x247….not sure what I was thinking but apparently I will be as busy as you stitching it. 😂 Loved seeing all of your finishes Heidi….so gorgeous! Thank you… Lori
I guess I am not the only one who didn’t realize to pick a smaller sampler for the Jan project 😂I am sure we will finish it this month Lori! 🤞Happy stitching 🧵
Beautiful finishes! I want you to know that because of you I bought Winter Quaker it’s stunning! Pretty much everything you stitch enables me 😂 by the way whenever I want R&R fabric I call Dyeing To Stitch. ♥️
Oh thank you! I’ll try them next time I need R&R fabrics 😊 and congratulations on your new pattern and potential start! Just heads up if you are planning to use Valdani floss,which is called for, save yourself headache and for the snowflakes use regular ecru Dmc or silk. Separating Valdani is a nightmare 😂
As always your stitching is so beautiful! Looking forward to seeing many more projects either finished or you have met the goals you set for yourself. Happy Stitching!
Your finish parade is inspiring! Your work is exceptional. Thank you so much for sharing. My mind is swirling. YOU help make this community a lovely place to land. Thanks for letting us enjoy your pieces. Happy New Year of stitching! Happy Stitching, your stitchy friend, Daleen
Awww Daleen! Thank you so much! I am grateful to be part of this wonderful community, and the kid welcoming I have received! I am honored to call you my stitchy friend as well 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful finishes, Heidi!! I'm fortunate in that I have a framer who is excellent at framing needlework. Altho I've never used them, I often see absolutely beautiful framing done by Rensel Framing. Have you seen their work? I know they have a website and you contact them either that way or by phone to make arrangements to send your piece to them. I have no idea how expensive they are, but their work is fabulous. Looking forward to seeing even more of your lovelies this coming year. Steph x
To find a framer who knows how to frame needlework is amazing! I fallow Rensel Framing on instagram and they used to post on Pinterest too! Love love their work! Hopefully one day I’ll have them frame one of my works 😁
Thanks for sharing your finishes. So much eye candy! Happy new year. I hope the year treats us all well! Looks like you will be enjoying many more finishes this year too. Looking forward to seeing them.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching! Yes, you can order the mats Shepherd's Bush uses as well as their kits and books. They will also kit up anything you ask. Tina and Terri are great.
I heard about it but I wasn’t sure since I never checked it my self, but that is great that designers are helping stitchers out sourcing mats and accessories 😊
You’re stitching is beautiful. How do you finish so many so fast! Happy New Year and happy stitching. I am sure we will see many more beautiful projects from you this year.
Love your wip parade and finishes they all look amazing 🤩 have a great week and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow! A lot of beautiful stitching. Really enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

Your stitching is gorgeous. Love your Celtic lady by lavender and lace
Your finishes and WIPs are all so beautiful and very inspiring! They make me want to pull out so many of mine and work on them. I am looking forward to seeing what you accomplish in 2024. Happy stitching………………
So many beautiful finishes!
I love your Halloween at hawk run hollow. I love your accent, as well. Where are you from?
Do you put glass on all of your work? If so, what kind of glass do you use?
I don’t. Sometimes i used them mostly for the pieces that are on the wall year round but for seasonal or stitchings on dark fabrics I don’t. If I use a glass usually I ask museum non-glare glass. 😊
Enjoyed seeing everything! All your finishes and wips, you do such a great job. You always give me inspiration. Can't wait to see you soon.
Always in awe of your beautiful stitchng, Wips as well as all those finishes…amazing. Happy Stitching

I have seen their tutorials! They make it look so easy until I try them myself 😂 but that is a great way to finish at least smalls 😊
