    Happy belated birthday, fellow Leo!! You and my husband are the same age (he's also a Leo!). You are the first flosstuber that I have ever watched, and I have binge watched every one that you have made while at work this last week. Your videos have been so entertaining, positive, and inspiring. As a birthday present to myself, I am purchasing the pattern "Pancakes." Tomorrow, I'm going to a shop to get "kitted up" (is that the right term?)so that I can work on it on my birthday (Saturday). Thank you for the wonderful videos!!! I look forward to the next one!

    I started Winter Wonderland last year and it is in time out. I did the whole rink and tree and then discovered it was on the wrong orientation. It will eventually be frogged and restarted on the correct orientation. I chose an opalescent grey linen and don't want to waste the fabric. Yours looks great. 💜💜💜

    Happy Birthday Andrew. I want to thank-you for your encouragement in starting my little cross stitch project. I bought a small Bucilla kit a few years ago but procrastinated. After watching you for a few months and appreciating your approach to sharing your time between projects, I finally opened my kit and sorted the threads. Yesterday I started stitching and having fun. I did do some xs projects decades ago, but nothing recently. Once again, thanks.

    Hi, Andrew, first I wanted to say how much I’ve been enjoying your flosstubes, your work is just beautiful. Thanks so much for the book review, as had been wondering about getting it, but it’s not easy to tell from the info you get on Amazon how many of the patterns I might like to do. The patterns look amazing, it’s still on preorder in the UK, but I think it will be a must buy. I’m planning to stitch Swan in Flowers from Max’s Etsy shop in the near future, another gorgeous design.

    It was great to stitch with you at Laura's zoom. I loved seeing your WIPs , especially Saga. A friend and I are also using the Silks4U PR 207. Her project is from Keslyn and mine from an Etsy seller. Are you stitching each stitch as you go, or across the row and back? It looks as though your WIP has some variation. I'm not seeing it in my progress of crossing each stitch, so am curious. What a great win on the Mirabilia! And finally, belated birthday wishes! Birthdays do last all month. 😊

    • @therunnerstitcher
      @therunnerstitcher День тому

      I had a great time stitching with you as well! Such a lovely afternoon with lovely people. Awesome that you're using PR207 as well. Mine doesn't have that much variegation in the silks actually. It's very slight. I have been stitching across the row and then back. I figured with such little variegation I couldn't be bothered to do each stitch separately on such a large piece haha. But I do think the lighter parts come across in the camera which is cool. Thank you for the birthday wishes and happy stitching!

    Glad you had a good birthday, and your cake looks great and sounded really good. I would never have guessed you were 38. If asked to guess I would have said early 30's. For marathon training do you follow a program from somebody or is it your own. Do you know if the marathon is televised? I'd love to watch it since both you and Yamir are going to be in it. Someone from the fitness studio I go to is also doing it. Have a great vacation!

      The cake was delicious and along with the special gifts including yours, it really was a great day, so thank you so much! Aww that's kind... yes I'm 38! Getting close to 40 haha. I follow the Hal Higdon training program. They have a website with programs for half marathons and marathons! I've found it really works for me. I'm not sure if it's televised but there will be an app where you can track where we are on the course during race day! I'll share more about that as we get closer. Happy stitching!

      Thank you! My readers are nothing fancy, I just bought a cheap pair at the pharmacy that have 3.25 perscription.

      Thank you so much! The 5K was fun and I was happy to see my time get a bit better. You're so right in that stitching mimics marathons. Consistent work is key and it's about progress over time! I think that's why I gravitate towards larger projects... it's all about the journey for me!

    Good luck on your marathon training. I am doing a 10k on Sept 21st so I understand those long runs on the weekend, although mine aren't as long as yours. What a wonderful surprise on your auction win. Happy Birthday!

      Oh that's awesome you've got the 10k coming up! Definitely keep me updated as to how it goes, that's very exciting! Training for that is tough too especially in this heat. We can do it though! Happy stitching!

    Happy Birthday Andrew🎉 You are inspiring me to start SAGA😅 It's gorgeous, you are moving along so quick. Good luck at the Marathon😊

      Thank you very much! SAGA is huge, but it's such a lovely piece. For some reason the size doesn't bother me on that one, it's just a little bit each week and progress happens! I think you'll love it if you start it. Happy stitching!

    First of all Happy Birthday, Andrew! And pass on the compliments of the internet to your boyfriend for that incredible cake! What a great haul and lovely birthday gifts. You are set for some fantastic stitching in the future. Re the specialty stitches. The older Just Nan band samplers, many Drawn Thread patterns, and some of the smaller Victoria Sampler pieces have good stitch diagrams. If there's something specific, let me know and I'll see if I can dig up some references for you.

      Thank you so much! I'll be sure to tell him. I still feel so lucky he made that for me and it tasted delicious as well! Thank you so much for those ideas for specialty stitches. I have a few Victoria Sampler pieces I like but I will look at Just Nan and Drawn Thread too. That's so kind of you to offer the references. I'll reach out when I try them. Thank you!
