See you next time, Great listening to you and seeing your work. I vote to wait to finish your New England stitch at retreat!
Melissa - congrats on your soon to be finish. I think you should finish it at the Stitch New England retreat. Go for the gusto! 😊
Finish at the retreat! I'm a little jealous for all the retreats and fairs you get to go to, we don't have as much of that stuff here.
Keep a few stitches to finish at Stitch New Englad
Ring that bell!!! 😂😂😂😂
🐴🐴🐴
Melissa, nice to meet you. I was at Frogwarts this year, it was my rist retreat ever. It was intense and really fun.
🧚♀️💕
I love seeing you do these unboxings. You always seem so genuinly happy with everything you get, it feels super wholesome!
I attended Frogwarts for the first time this year and selected Hogsmeade because I didn't know what to expect. I'll definitely get sorted into a house next year, though. A lot of the challenges looked like fun! You had great tips for participating in the challenges! Thanks for a great video!
The threaded needles is always my best kept secret. I use the sweet treats tray with needleminders and keep my colors on it. So helpful. ❤❤
Hey! I love your attitude towards Frogwarts and your progress! I am just now recovered from the weekend and am sorting out my life lol. I wore myself out big time this year. Can’t wait to see you at Frogwarts next year!
Loved Frogwarts too. Can't wait to see I Love New England at the Big E. Love looking at the pieces.
Hi!! I had a blast at frogwarts also. Which Gryffindor class were you in? Were you the Melissa in transfiguration class? I slept 13 hours Sunday night because the retreat is so exhausting but I had so much fun!!!!
Hi Michelle! Yes I am - loved being in Transfiguration this year! The retreat finally caught up to me Monday afternoon.
@@Geekywitch it was great being in transfiguration class! Hopefully we can be together next year!
I didn't put two and two together I was in the same class as you!!!! Fellow Gryffindor transfiguration class room!! Glad to have you.
Wonderful unboxing ❤
Thank you 🤗
Welcome back! 🧚🏻♂️💕
Glad to have you back! It's always so much fun to see your projects,
Nice seeing you again! 18:07 your hockey watching stitch is great! 22:25 that guild sounds so cool!!! I’m gonna have to look into this!!! Did you get notification for my previous comments and shout out?
Welcome back. :) Happy stitching! :)
🐴🐴🐴
It's so great, that you are back! Nice, to see you again. Greetings from Germany, Doreen😀
I love the cowboy cats!! From a Crazy Cat Lady in Texas
I found you. I just had to wait for a new video so I would be notified.
👋👋
Enjoyed!
Enjoyed the visit back to the Eighties. I love scrunchies and still wear them quite often. ❤
Wow you had an eventful year. Thanks for going through your retreat bag!
To piggy back off what you said about the fair, if the entries are down then the craft portion of the fair is in jeopardy of being shut down.
Your finishes are gorgeous! I agree Silver Creek are a lot of fun!
3:36 well, I’m 2 years too late but I liked seeing the daily progress and box opening lol. But I bet it’s a chore some days to film a clip.
9:41 Jack Skeleton is in the other Tim Burton Halloween movies?
Is the guild the Embroidery Guild of America?
I was nice hearing the back story of your stitching journey!
Hey! New subscriber and I can already tell I’m gonna enjoy watching your videos!
I 'm enjoying your WIP parade. Where can I purchase a T-shirt like the one you're wearing?
#under1000subsclub ❤👋
*salutes you* :)
LOL I love the sound of a Trapper Keeper! Your temperature chart looks great. I'm in the process of a temperature chart too - I'm soooo behind LOL and I just bought one for next year 🤦🏼♀
Stitch New England was my first retreat and I was so nervous but I’m SO glad I jumped in! So much fun and I met so many lovely people! Was nice getting to meet you! Can’t wait for next year!
Thanks for sharing the tips for retreat packing. I recently went to a quilt retreat and a lot of your suggestions are good for those retreats as well.
Hi Carla! Thanks for stopping by. I'm happy to hear it was helpful... I'm sure there's a lot of overlap for planning for any crafty retreat. :)
Hi friend I also was just at Stitch New England retreat, what a wonderful time!! I also will be at the farm as well with my mom That also is one of my favorites ❤ Looking forward to seeing you there Happy Stitching 😁
Yay! I will definitely see you there! I tend to be a little introverted in person, but please come say hi! (I was too nervous to walk tables to pass out my cards at Stitch NE). Not sure where I'll be sitting this year, but I'm going to try to move around a bit to meet people.
Met you late Saturday night at SNE and I checked out your FT! Wow lots of WIPS! I will be looking for update! (Peggy)
Great projects! Love that Deep Blue Sea! 💜
Love your videos. Thank you
This was a fun series of videos. There were several pieces that made me think "I have that! Maybe I should finally start it!" lol 🪡👠
I love having a full set of DMC - I acquired it over time during sales. It is interesting to look at some of the colors and see how they've changed. I try to keep two full skeins in reserve; the hardest part for me is keeping my spreadsheet updated when I open a skein. I forgot that the Park Hopper Bart piece used etoile. I haven't started it yet, but now that I hear you talk about it I was thinking it was a good excuse to try etoile and see what I thought of it. My Hobby Lobby had all of their colors on clearance and I didn't get any because I didn't care for how it felt in the skein, and it looked "messy" - that's the best word I can think of. I enjoyed this section, and I've seen the final one posted.. I hope to get to watch it soon! 🪡👠
I'm definitely glad that I tried the Etoile. I'll try anything. But like everybody else... there's stuff I work with well, and stuff that I don't. Etoile and I are... not friends. :)
Just loving the wonderful variety of stitching projects that you have And those band samplers are epic!
Thanks! I definitely embrace stitching anything and everything (as you can clearly see! LoL!) Those band samplers are insane. When they're done I'm honestly going to be shocked that I actually stitched them!
*whispers* finish it, finish it! Let’s see Apache and your fair piece done! Paper charts are lovely when you have a power outage, you don’t need to worry about your device running out of juice. I take photos of color charts so I can “paint” over it because highlighter is basically invisible on certain charts.
Yeah... I don't like color charts for that reason - hard to highlight. There definitely will be some love given to those projects, I promise! There's a stitch challenge for backstitching this weekend for Frogwarts, so Apache's going to get at least an hour of love before Sunday afternoon.
Wow you have some AMAZING wips! I like the small quaker piece and of course Plum Street! Gorgeous project bags too!
Thanks! Definitely a curated set of both WIPs and bags over many, many years. They bring a lot of color and joy to my office!
Thats a fantastic amount of WIPS! AMAZING video ❤
Thanks! I'm a bit out of control... but embracing my crazy stitching style. Thanks for stopping by my little corner! :)
