    I am looking forward to yard/lawn sale season this year. I know in years past there were often bits and pieces of embroidered or crocheted items. I always felt badly that the new generation would disrespect these heirloom pieces. Now I'm going to be on the lookout to give them new life!
    This little book is going to look fabulous!

    I love when you break out your Aussie : ) I just watched you knot your thread when you were finished sewing and it was a revelation!!! So easy, simple and clean. Being a amateur I do at least 50 knots before I'm happy that it won't come undone before I cut the thread. Love your ideas, you have some real gems. Thanks for sharing and your chattyness : )

    Watching this video today. You are really good at embroidery and hand sewing. Your Mother taught you very well!
    As I watched you put the thread back on the cardboard “spool,” I realized that you do it the exact way as I do. It must be so obvious that’s how it’s done, that so many people do it that way. Or maybe that’s why they put the little hole it it. I know you are very busy, you don’t have to respond.
    I’m happy to see you so relaxed.
    Have a great day, whenever you read this comment.

    Those ‘comments’ with a dot com and no real conversation, are likely nudies. I’ve always reported them when i’ve seen them but these on your site will not go away. You need to delete them from your side. Don’t open them!

    This was helpful...I've collected several pieces of embroidered pieces, and some of my own work, and never know if I should cut them, I'm assuming that we should cut around the pattern and avoid cutting into the stitches? Could you cut one out or a piece of one to show me!?! Great video!😊😊😊😉

    I bought a linen cushion cover on line to use in my making. Took one look at it and promptly put it on a cushion.😊 Well, I know where it is when I need it. But I have other stuff I can use. When I do that kind of work goes to a close friend or I keep it.

    They have loads of your needle threaders on Amazon...if you put in ****Needle Threader, Stainless Steel Threading Tools for Large Eye Needles by Zhichengbosi**** they are 30 pieces for £3.99 no good for me though as I need a threader for very small needle eyes for sewing seed beads
