    Hi Judy, I am new here - I am glad to see your colours because I am redoing the flooring and painting in my house - smaller than 1,000 sq. ft. I am going to paint every room a different colour. Yes I am Canadian so colour has a U. I am in Winnipeg and a member of the Winnipeg Embroiderers' Guild with Samantha - Hygge Stitcher on flosstube.

    Loved the Canadiana of this video. I'm also a bit of a fan of Lynne Nicoletti's designs. I have 9 of her designs in my stash. I have one on my wish list still. I have stitched both the Bluenose Dime and the Maple Leaf Penny. They are both framed and hanging in my office at work. I thought they were appropriate for an accounting office. I hope to be at the next stitching at the library, we can talk about the possibilities of you borrowing the Bluenose Dime design.

    • @citystitcher
      @citystitcher 27 днів тому

      I am cautiously excited about potentially borrowing the pattern. If you do make it to the library, could you also have a picture of the maple leaf penny? I can’t even find a picture of that one and I am intrigued. Hope to see you at the library.

    Hi, Judy! Your Canadian flag finish is gorgeous! I can see why you are thrilled. Thank you for sharing the bits of Canadian history with us. Your Mirabilia is looking great as well. I , too, have struggled with fitting beads on certain fabrics. Do you stitch your beads on the diagonal or straight with a full x? Or do your alternate depending on the area and look you are wanting? I hope you are out of water restrictions soon. I sent you an email. Thanks!

I am a hoop stitcher so I hope things will go well. I ordered it end of December so it was 5 month. Same as you exact same process.

    It's been over a year since I last put needle to fabric, but I've been enjoying cross-stitching vicariously through you. I pat my WIPs now and then and promise them that I'll get back to them at some point... My Holiday Queen still thrills me whenever I look at her, as does my Cryptid Sampler. At least I've got some of my crafting mojo back and I've been doing a bit of knitting and crochet. Thanks for highlighting the video for the mosaic lapghan! Great resource!

    I like the patriotic finish. It's pretty. April looks nice too. Three finishes is great. I am working on Quaker Farm by Jardin Privet. I thought I was going to be finished this week, but no...I am working on a bush in the bottom right corner by a rabbit when I find out I'm off. I miscounted, and although I was almost finished with the pattern, I now have to unpick that bush. Cuss, cuss, curse, curse. Sigh. I will still finish next week.
