Thanks for Watching, Happy Stitching
You have BEAUTIFULL pieces made . I can't choose a favorite . I love all of them . Greetings from Belgium
Thank you so much
Your stitching is beautiful. You have stitched so many patterns I have never seen. I also like your linen/fabric choices. Beautiful work.
Thank you very much :-)
Your finished projects are absolutely breathtaking. I so enjoyed this video!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)
Your finishes are stunning!!
Thank you :-)
Another great video. You are so natural and such a pretty young lady. I love your chatalaine. I'm 71 and been stitching 34 years but have never attempted one but I'll live vicariously through all of y'all. Look forward to your next video.
Thank you Betty, have you ever thought about starting one of Martina's smaller designs? She has plenty of minis including mandalas that would stitch up a bit quicker than a full sized one. Just a thought if you wanted to attempt one! Happy stitching
I love your stitching...I so love your videos and am happy to welcome you to the community!!
Thank you for the warm welcome
I think I'm going to oooh and aaaw over your butterfly chatelaine every time you show it. lovely, lovely, lovely.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of your past finishes. Great projects!
Thank you so much, I'm feeling a bit burnt out on my Chatelaine right now so it might have to go away for a while, but I really want to finish another large butterfly before that happens. Well see what happens....
Gosh, you've done so many intricate designs & beautiful finishes! Wow! Your stitching is just beautiful! And, I love your framing too. Oh, & both of your cats are beautiful too. Looking forward to more videos. 😊
Thank you very much, I used to work in the framing department at Michaels, so I'm a little picky about my framing. It's just too bad its so expensive :-)
All of your projects are beautiful ...and your framing choices too💕 I really enjoy your videos and look forward to seeing all of them. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous work💞
Thank you :-)
Thank you for another terrific video and for showing your Halloween kitty mandala. All of your prior finishes are fabulous. Looking forward to your next video.
Your welcome, I really wish there were more hours in the day to give my Halloween Mandala more attention
Lovely videos. Beautiful stitching. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome, Thank you for watching :-)
Your finished works are beautiful. You are extremely talented. Loved your video
Thank you :)
Beautiful work. Love them all ! Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Holy crap!!! your finishes are amazing. what an ambitious choice for your first mirabilia!!! I am in awe of all the large pieces you have stitched. seriously awesome.
Thank you, I will be starting several smaller pieces in a few weeks. Even though I do love my larger pieces I get antsy and need some finishes in there as well :-)
Omg! I was blown away with your massive projects all so beautiful ! You do amazing stitching Loved the video, watched while stitching a small Halloween project for a nice quiet Sun. Of stitching and watching.
Thank you, which Halloween project are you working on, just curious as it is my favorite holiday :-)
Loved seeing your finishes - those HAEDs are amazing!!! You do such beautiful work. I am so glad you decided to jump into Flosstube!! Love seeing your sweet kitties and throwing in a nod to what looks like a NIN hoodie. Love them.
Thanks Michelle! I'm so glad I decided to start doing videos, everyone has been wonderful. And yes, it is a NIN hoodie, I saw them a couple years ago when they were here in Edmonton, it was such an awesome show!
its a pleasure visiting with you. i really enjoyed it. keep up the good work. til next time........
Thank you
All of your projects and finishes are beautiful! I love the cat and the cauldron finish and also the mermaid. I really enjoyed your video and look forward to your next one.
Thank you very much!
Glad to have see your video today. Lovely finishes! Thank you for sharing them with us. Looking forward to your next video very much.
Thank you for watching, I'm hoping to have another video up soon if technology will co-operate with me :-)
All your works are wonderful;)!!! And I love your cat!
Thank you! They are very adorable and give new meaning to stitching with specialty thread :-) Thanks for watching!
I love your Mermaid of the pearl, I'm exactly the same I stressed about following the patterns to the letter! Floss tube has opened a whole new world to me, a licence to go rogue lol. Love all your stitching thanks for sharing xx
Isn't it great! It makes it so much more enjoyable, I'm amazed at how far people go with making changes that look amazing. I still consider myself an amateur, I enjoy picking out fabrics, but am really not confident with swapping out threads, I guess I just need to practice more :-D Thanks for watching
So glad I found your channel!!!! Love love love your finishes!!! And the zebra and elephant prints on your wall!!!
Thanks Latisha! i really should do a video tour of my room and show off those lovely paintings! Thanks for finding me! :-)
+miskacat1 yes please!! Lol!
Hi there, your stitching is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. A friend of mine told me about your channel, I look forward to more future videos. I especially love your mirabilia mermaid and the nimue piece, so much detail and gorgeous.
Thank you for the kind comments and watching me ramble on and on.... :-P
Love your finishes! ! Great video. Welcome to Floss Tube!
Thanks for the warm welcome :-)
You have some beautiful fishes and works in progress. Really enjoyed your first two videos looking forward to more. So love your Butterfly Lace Mandala. I have the chart for this but trying to resist ordering the kit until I am further on with Venice but seeing yours so beautiful makes me want to start it!
Thank you. I have several Chatelaine's ready to go....it's so hard not to start them all. I really want to start the Polar Beauty Mandala, but I must resist until I'm finished with Butterfly Lace, having two large ones on the go would be to much me :-)
Loving your finished items. What a variety of stitching styles. Aren't we spoiled for choice now with the talented designers on the market? Happy stitching.
Things have definitely come a long way from when I started, I'm so glad we are spoiled, I think the amount of choice that is available has reignited a stitching passion in many people. However, it still needs to stop being classified as an old lady hobby, at least with the people I know...lol
Aww, thanks so much for the sweet shout out :) And Omg, those are awesome finishes! And isn't the bird nest pattern so lovely? Great job! :) Janet
My pleasure :-) Thank you for sharing your bird pattern, he is so adorable, now to only find time to stitch him.....
Your stitching is SO beautiful. I had to stop stitching to look more!! I seem to have watched your videos the wrong way round so off to watch your first one now :))
Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)
You have some amazing finishes! And I love your cat, he's gorgeous!
Thank you very much!
I don't know what to say other then I'm lucky to have found your channel. 💖 What an honor it was to see your ffo's.
Thanks Shana! I've had more finishes, but they were given away as gifts and I never thought to take photos. Kinda wish I would have now :-(
😣 would you be able to ask them for a picture?
I'll see what I can do, I'm sure there are lots of little ones I've forgotten about though :-)
Love, love your beautiful projects; you must have started stitching when you were very young. Love the Chatelaines; I am currently working on the Tinctorium on black fabric. I haven't gotten very far yet but I love it. I hope to order Rosarium soon, also love Herbularius. I enjoyed your post, so please keep it up. Happy stitching.
Thank you! I was about 12 when I started stitching, but I had several years when I wasn't stitching very actively. I'm so glad their are more options now for stitchers and the amount of support now with social media blows me away, 10 years ago I would have thought this was a dying art! I'm so glad to find out I was wrong. I love Tinctorium! And how brave of you to stitch it on black, it must look amazing! Thanks again for watching :-)
Amazing work!!!
Thank you :-)
Beautiful stitching!! really enjoyed your video :-)
Thank you :-)
Your finishes are utterly stunning! Wow! I have recently bought the patterns for both the fire and the earth dragons from cross my heart inc. do you recall which colours in particular required multiple skeins? Thanks for the heads up! Much stitchy love xxx
Hello Clare, glad to hear you found those charts from Cross my Heart... I believe the Earth dragon multiple skein was 938 ( it wasn't 3371 which is stitched right beside it) and fire dragon was 918,919,or 920 sorry it's been so long since I've stitched them and have gotten rid of my patterns, but I do remember it was one of of the dark red colors...sorry I can't be of more help
That's a great help! Thanks again for the heads up ☺
Love the video's and all the beautiful art you have created Can you tell me if the 2 framed pictures behind you are the sillouette cross stitches of the horses and lions head? Keep bringing your videos to inspire. xxx
Thank you! The pictures behind me are of a Zebra and Elephant, I picked them up through a vendor during one of Edmonton's summer festivals several years ago. They are painted on canvas by someone in Africa (?) if I remember correctly, Thanks for noticing and watching
Your finishes are beyond amazing. The Nimue is so cute and detailed. The white willow ones are gorgeous! And your dragons-wow! I had not seen those charts before and now I might need to track them down. Do you have any tips for stitching on black?
Thank you, I've actually never had a problem stitching on black. I've heard people say something white or a light underneath the fabric can help, I tried it and I think it did something weird to my depth perception and I found it more difficult and it was almost too bright. I instead just found good lighting from the top side and that worked out well for me. However, I did stitch these several, by that I mean at least 10+ years ago, so maybe now something has changed with my eyesight and I will find it more difficult to finish up the last two
Beautiful work. Did you start stitching when you were 5? :)
Oh my gosh, I wish! I actually started in about 1992, I started with doing a few Precious Moments charts as that was available at the time and I also did some easier baby animal pieces as well. I am always amazed at how much this craft has changed over the years. Thank you for watching :-)
Thanks for your video. I admire all your completed projects. They are so wonderful. I really like your butterfly project. I have never tried a chatelaine.
I wanted you to know that i have all the country cross stitch and needlework and will be able to look up the sweet reindeer and santa for you if you would like.
Have a good week stitching and hope your haul came in the mail.
Thank you for watching. Yes, I would appreciate knowing what issue the Santa and reindeer set came from, it's been so long I'm not even sure I kept my issue of it, but it might help me find it either way :-)
Jen, I have located the Folk Santa and Folk Reindeer. It is in the Cross Stitch and Country Crafts the May/June 88 issue. Vol.111 No. 5.
I have an extra copy of that magazine if you can't find your copy. Hope you had a good day stitching.
Thank you for letting me know which issue those charts were in, I was talking to my mom the other day and she's pretty sure I gave her my copy, so I should be alright to put my french knots back in. Thank you for offering to send me your spare copy, that's extremely kind of you :-)
You are welcome. I am glad you have located your copy. :)
hi, I have just discovered you, just watched your first video and now finished your second video, I hope to do a video soon. love all of your finishes, and wips. I completely understand with those arrows, I am doing my first HAED, and I have the arrows in all 4 directions all in the same area, I have been using post it notes and sticking it to my needle minder so I know which one I am doing. amazing work, look forward to future Vids. happy stitching, from Victoria Australia. :)
Thanks for watching, Which HAED are you doing? I have several more on the go and similar symbols in one area seem to be a theme.... Writing it down and keeping it close is a great idea I will have to steal the next time I run into that problem, thanks for the great tip! Good luck with your first video, I'll keep an eye out for it :-)
+miskacat1 steal away, :) I am doing Randal Spangler HAED story keeper effects of caffeine. one of the cute green dragons
I have that one in my stash as well, He is my favorite out of all the Spangler SK!
It's a Halloween was in a little kit by a store in SLC Utah it's a kit they made its cute.it has 4 little pictures sort of in a square then you mount it on a piece of wood it has some ribbon to go around it and is mounted on a couple pieces of paper sort of like matts? Kind of and then it is put on the wood with those little nails so it's cute small and easy but......... With easy stuff I keep messing up but it's fun. The kit is called October sorry for the long description.
OMG! It sounds so cute and very different from anything if seen before with the way you mount/display it. I'm exactly the same way though, the easier I think a project will be the more frogging I end up doing.....it's like my brain turns off and I can't count larger blocks of color, lol Thanks for sharing your project :-)
Молодец.Класно.
Thank you for watching! Happy stitching!
did you mean 2 over 1 on your bear with flowers piece? those stitches look tiny! you have gorgeous pieces btw!
Sorry, yes it is 2 over 1 on 28 count. Thanks for watching :-)
Would you please guide me in the right direction?? I so want to do a heaven and earth design but got discouraged because I wanted to stitch them on 28 count evenweave. I think I chose too large of charts... 23 pages. I heard you say storybook is that a size? Thank you for your inspiration. I ended up selling 3 of them lol.
Hi Tammy, I'm sorry to hear your discouraged with your HAED's, I started stitching mine as recommended, 2 over 2 on 25 count, it is very tight but I've invested to much time in them to restart, my favourite combination now for full coverage is 1 over 1 on 32 count. But I have stitched them on 28 count as well. So you can stitch them on whatever you are most comfortable, the trick is to find the thread coverage that your happy with and make sure you calculate your fabric size properly. I'm not sure if this helps or answers your question, but let me know if you need more information
Hi there, love all your cross stitch and thanks for the websites, I have save some of them for future reference. I absolutely love the Zodiacs and hopefully will be able to buy the Virgo one for myself when Greece decides to lift the Capital Control ban which prohibits me from using my credit card. So frustrating....anyway and I adore the Dragons and have been looking for a dragon to stitch. Can you perhaps give me the website for your dragons ? Look forward to your next video !
Thank you so much, it's a shame your unable to use your card to make online purchases, I can't imagine how annoying that would be :-( Unfortunately Cross My Heart Inc closed down several years ago and I'm pretty sure their charts are no longer in print, my best advice would be to keep checking ebay and maybe they will turn up there. The charts are Earth Dragon, Fire Dragon, Air Dragon and Water Dragon all designed by Sherrie Stepp-Aweau, Good luck and I really hope that your able to find them :-)
Will keep checking ebay, tks for the reply, cheers, Michelle
