OMG! Queen Bee is amazing! Her face!!! I’m learning that I’m very drawn to Nora’s faces! I need to order Gray Stuff, it’s gorgeous! Also Black Licorice! And Hannah! Great recap! 👏🏾 Talk soon, my friend! 💝
Love love love your Queen Bee …… I’m starting her in the new year ♥️. As always your fabric choices are inspired ♥️♥️. Can’t wait to meet you at the upcoming Queen City retreat ….. I’m the crazy redhead lol
Fabulous videos!!! I am stitching my first Nora Corbett for Mirabilia May, I've been watching tons of Mirabilia flosstubes. and yours is by far my favorite! I love colors. Your pattern choices and fabrics speak to me!!! Go with the forest fabric!!!!
I look forward to my Classic Colorworks club threads every month-so pretty! Your Queen Bee is AMAZING!! I can’t wait to see the finish 😃. “THICK” that’s what we say in the South 😁 Enjoying your flosstube tremendously and miss you every time I watch😃 Pack up that boyfriend and make a plan to come and stitch with me 💛💛💛
Hi, I enjoyed seeing you again. You are so lucky to get to go to the Queen City retreat. I didn't know about it until it was already sold out. I'm on the wait list. But I doubt anyone will cancel. I hope you have a wonderful time.. if you can take some pictures. I loved your pattern collection. I have several, too. See you next time.
okay okay, between your encouragement on Instagram and the beginning of this video, I think I'm ready to dive into fancy lady land. I only watched the first section because BOO I have to go to work but I'll be back for the kitted up projects. I just needed to say that your finishes are perfect and I GASPED when I saw Queen Bee's dress completed. It's absolutely stunning and the fabric choice was perfection. I'm sure I'll have a lot to say about your other projects but for now, thank you for this video, it came at the perfect time
Hi Alli! OMG just loved this video! Beautiful finishes! I'd use the hand painted fabric - I think it would be beautiful. I think you may lose the wings on the yellow fabric for the autumn lady. There were so many options I don't remember them all. I'm sure what you select will be beautiful! Can't wait to hear about your retreat when you get home! Have fun A and happy stitching! Lori
Love all of your beautiful Mira’s and Nora’s! I think haunted would be gorgeous on your mb2! They are all lovely and maybe use the gray on the Mira the haunted was intended for, her flowers would be amazing on the gray! Love it all this was so fun❤😊ville Mirabilia is always going to be my 🦄 uni! She is so gorgeous and glorious! Oh have you looked at Pol Stitches fabric for Mira’s? They are out of the country but my goodness they have some amazing fabrics! ❤back to beading!
I've never stitched a Mira/Nora but this was inspiring! I have had my eye on Moon Glow since it was released (for many of the same reasons you articulated) and the second fabric, Haunted, I think, looks perfect! I might have to pull the trigger on that one...those waterlilies are 😍
I am a HUGE Nora Corbett/Mirabillia designs. I just finished the letters from Nora S, P, C and Mermaid letter S for my daughters...i was so glad they used a lot of cross over colours
I have never been interested in the Mira/Nora patterns, because they looked tedious; however, I did spend about two hours on 123 Stitch looking at all the patterns and I found a couple that aren't too overwhelming. I LOVE YOUR HAIR color. My granddaughter watched today as well and she liked the color too. She also loved your finishes, but she's a "newby" at cross stitching, and it will be some time before she's ready. I don't like taking on big projects, because I am a bit on the older side (ahem, I'll be 80 next April), but I sure would get your hair color if I could. I've subscribed and will be watching future episodes.
Do it! Add some purple! It would look so rad on you! There are some patterns that really aren’t tedious at all, especially the smaller Noras. Do you have an Instagram? Would love to message you and make some suggestions if you’re open to it!
Everything looks so fantastic! I’ll def help out with fabric choices in Charlotte. Can’t wait - only a couple weeks. And you had me blushing hard over here - you’re pretty fantastic as well 😊
Your Queen Bee is phenomenal!! I was talking back to you through this whole video… I wish I could remember everything I was saying and comment on it all. Not only am I working on QB, I’m also mid wip on Elliana and have a small start on Nightingale, haha. I think your fabric options are all fantastic. Can’t wait to see all the things! And my name is Sarah. ❤️
Ooh I was close with the S! 🤣🤣🤣 Sorry about that. Hahaha you need a voice recorder so then you can just hit “post” at the end! Feel free to share anytime if you remember what you were thinking - or just tell me in Charlotte!
So I’ve been tempted by the fancy ladies but hesitant to start because they seemed scarily complex but this lit parade was so cozy. I’m a little intimidated by picking the right fabric (decision paralysis!) because yes the cover models don’t sell them and then everyone on social media is so creative on their choices! Also I agree about the skin tones! I like variety in shape and colours and poses. I saved a conversion of the Baker’s Wife that I really liked as well
Happy to help with all of that! I will say too that a plainer fabric can really make the stitching shine. There’s no “wrong” answer, whether you go schmancy hand dyed or not.
Thank you for the Mirabilia/Nora tour-it’s getting me so excited for the retreat next month! Noting that you are in Philly and have an owl on your shelf, are you a Mawrter?
I think the Nora silhouette should be done on the green. Even though it’s quite similar to the green waterlily, if the plants blend more into the fabric she then becomes more of the focal point, you’ll still see the plants but they move more into the background rather than being a secondary focal point.
I just started my first Nora pattern Miss Spider. I had looked at sea witch but I don’t like greens, however yours looks amazing on the fabric you picked.
@@alliziscrafty that’s who inspired me to buy miss spider lol. I had never seen her before. Nora’s and Mira’s aren’t my style typically. But I fell head over heels for miss spider.
I commented before I got to the Mira kitted section. I love Fairy Moon, sucker for moon patterns. What about like a dark blue fabric? Cathedral woods goddess is one I also love.
Hello Allie! I loved ur fabric choices which makes the entire piece more alive and fun to work on . I have a question regarding The Stargazer. I picked pinksand 32 count and I’m not happy with that choice . The dmc colors are muted as u know . Any suggestions for a conversion ? I also watch the FB Mira conversion and haven’t liked them either. I have a friend who sent me 16 mirabillas some very old and includes poppy. I didn’t know she was Out of print. Anyway loved ur video and great information.
Is there a particular color family you like/were thinking of using for her? I saw a pink and red conversion that’s really pretty, and I know folks have done her in blues too!
All I, loove your fancy ladies and your fabric choices😊❤ thank you for sharing and great video 😊❤
The last fabric soooo gorgeous 🥰
O.m.goodness so much eye candy!!! Amazing video❤❤❤
Thank you! 🤗 I had a lot of fun pulling everything out and showing it all off!
Omg! The Mirabilia is stunning on Gilded! Wow!
OMG! Queen Bee is amazing! Her face!!! I’m learning that I’m very drawn to Nora’s faces! I need to order Gray Stuff, it’s gorgeous! Also Black Licorice! And Hannah! Great recap! 👏🏾 Talk soon, my friend! 💝
Loved this video, I'm new to these patterns and very excited to get started
You got this! It’s such a fun journey. Keep us posted on your progress!

Love love love your Queen Bee …… I’m starting her in the new year ♥️. As always your fabric choices are inspired ♥️♥️. Can’t wait to meet you at the upcoming Queen City retreat ….. I’m the crazy redhead lol
Yay!! So excited to meet you!! She’s gorgeous. Glad to hear that folks are stitching on her!

So beautoful. I have a sad start on Ophelia. I want to start Snow Queen next!❤

I am a HUGE Nora Corbett/Mirabillia designs. I just finished the letters from Nora S, P, C and Mermaid letter S for my daughters...i was so glad they used a lot of cross over colours
I am really looking forward to starting the letters! I enjoy using overdyed threads so I think they will be lots of fun to stitch.
Lol hi! The friend here! You already know all my thoughts 😂 but this was so fun!
I have been trying to choose a Mira/Nora for a while. Queen Bee is so incredible!
She is GORGEOUS. Lots of block stitching, so if you enjoy that, she’s a really good pick!
I have never been interested in the Mira/Nora patterns, because they looked tedious; however, I did spend about two hours on 123 Stitch looking at all the patterns and I found a couple that aren't too overwhelming.

Raspberry latte looks good with just about everything
I think you’re right about that!
OMG Fairy Moon is the one I did in 1998!!
Thank you for the Mirabilia/Nora tour-it’s getting me so excited for the retreat next month! Noting that you are in Philly and have an owl on your shelf, are you a Mawrter?
Yes I am!! Omg omg omg are YOU a mawrter?!? 😃😃😃
@@alliziscrafty yes class of ‘92.
@@owlandgatorstitcher yayyy!!!! My class is dark blue. I’ve always been into owls but being a mawrter just makes them extra special :)
I think the Nora silhouette should be done on the green. Even though it’s quite similar to the green waterlily, if the plants blend more into the fabric she then becomes more of the focal point, you’ll still see the plants but they move more into the background rather than being a secondary focal point.
I love little Junebug ❤ what a cutie she’ll end up being!
She is absolutely adorable. And I love how round she is!
I have queen bee with like 500 stitches 😅 yours is stunning ❤❤❤
I just started my first Nora pattern Miss Spider. I had looked at sea witch but I don’t like greens, however yours looks amazing on the fabric you picked.
I believe @kitschywips is also stitching Miss Spider! Seeing her WIP has been tempting me to get her too…
@@alliziscrafty that’s who inspired me to buy miss spider lol. I had never seen her before. Nora’s and Mira’s aren’t my style typically. But I fell head over heels for miss spider.

All those beads you are looking for can be found at Fire Mountain Beads!
I will definitely take a look!
