Vonna, I have binged watched your December through March videos!! I am so inspired by you and your wonderfully loving family. Thank you for sharing your time and your talent with all of us. So glad that you are taking time to enjoy your craft, family and yourself. You will love being a grandmother, congratulations on the next phase of your beautiful talented life. Warm hugs from sunny Arizona. God's blessings to each and every member of your family.
I’m so excited! My husband watched this video with me when you originally posted it, then secretly contacted Dave and Joan about the lap stand for me. It came today and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Vonna!
That stand is the bomb! What a wonderful gift! Vonna, you just keep amazing us! So glad you received help from the lunch ladies. If I lived closer, I would help too. I used to love working in the kitchen with the organist who was also a gourmet!! And congrats on becoming a Grand-Vonna❤ My mom was Grand-Pollie and I was called Grand-Becci❤
Hello 👋🏻 I am currently stitching The Guardian Cherub for a friend who lost her son. Its such a pretty piece😊 Great idea on stitching one for each grandchild
I JUST LOVE YOUR SEGMENT WHERE YOU SHOWCASE OTHER STITCHER’S FINISHES. Your precious grand baby and family will be in my prayers. Praying for a healthy baby. I had one child (a daughter) and she and her husband gifted my husband and I with 3 precious grandchildren. My son in law is an OB. He delivered the third child and I was able to be present for the birth and cut the cord. It was an incredible honor.
Thank you Vonna for the great review of your new lap stand. Love your new stitchy wall, so many beautiful pieces! I must say I love your segment highlighting the Stitchy Stars. You have a beautiful family too. ❤❤❤
Dave is going to be inundated with emails. Very neat stand! And congratulations on your new grandbaby. What a blessing. Boy or girl, darling room. I love the forest theme!
I love watching your Flosstubes. It's so wonder of you to show all the stitchy stars. There are so many patters I saw today that I've never seen before. Good job with your stitching wall. It looks wonderful. Praying for your new grandbaby and momma. I love your new stitching stand.
I love viewing your flosstube you are talented in so many ways. Congratulations on your grandchild!!🎉 I also love the stand. I'm new at stitching so not sure of getting one at the moment it's on my list! ❤❤
Your videos always make my day. Thank you for taking the time to share your beautiful stitching as well as demonstrating your new stand. Thank you too for including my Rabbit Folk in your Stitching Star segment. What an honor! I have learned so much from watching your tutorials. You are a treasure to this community. ❤
Vonna, thank you so much for sharing your time with us. Your wips are beautiful especially the baby you are doing to celebrating your up coming grandchild’s birth. All of your sewing work for the baby is beautiful, I love the nursery too. Your stitching wall is beautiful, congratulations and for your amazing lap stand design. Love and blessings to you and your family. Xx
Wow! First time viewer here. When I watched you review your needlework stand, I realized what I have been fighting all along with mine...it doesn't tip!! I am always trying to get the angle right. So I immediately ordered one! He needs a helper to handle all the orders! I am retired with 10 grandchildren and two great grandchildren. The first time I held my granddaughter, I simply breathed her..."Flesh of my flesh and bone of my bone." God is SO good! Thank you for a wonderful time together!
Hi Vonna! Thank you so much for sharing your stitching and life updates with us :) Your videos always bring a smile to my face. Bravo to you on a successful Easter season of altar decorations at church - the pictures you've been sharing along the way have been gorgeous. What a special way to honor our Lord. Glad to hear mama and baby are doing well! Prayers for you and your family, and happy stitching 💜
I am so glad to hear you are finally receiving additional help at church that enables you to continue serving your community with love and not exhaustion ❤. Your future grandbaby is so lucky to have so many special items handmade by grandma.
Wonderful updates, yes I did order the stitch stand, and I am looking forward to using it, as mentioned it really does address most of the problems with lap stands I have owned in the past. Loved seeing all of the items made for the new addition to the family, its always nice to be able to create things needed for the babies, I know I did quite a lot :)
I love seeing your segments relating photos of what's happening in your family. You're a down home awesome lady. Thank you for being you. God Bless and stay you. ❤
What a great flosstube, as usual, Vonna! Thank you so much for taking the time to video for us . . . .blessings! Hope you had a fantastic Divine Mercy Sunday! Xo
What can I say you did a great video and I loved it. Vonna you are one of favorite my stitcher and I like all the work you put into your videos. You inspire me to want to go back to stitching. I like all the effort you put into the stand with ideals to make stitching more fun. Keep stitching I ❤ all you do.❤❤❤❤❤
In stead of STOP DROP AND ROLL, I STOPPED, DROPPED and WATCHED VONNA!! Thanks for shouting me out. I loved stitching Guitar Sunset for my son. The city scape is not what the pattern called for, I used the Nashville skyline. :0) Thanks Vonna!! It was so good watching you today.
What a sweet shout out Vonna. I am so honored to be considered a "stitching star" by one of the brightest stars! I'm like a 15 watt bulb and you can light a stadium! Thank you.
Oh Vonna what a lovely video. Lifted the heart. Wonderful stand, materials, and so many more things. You should bottle your wonderful energy but please have time to smell the roses. A very big thank you and wishing your daughter and the little one well.
Vonna, you are beautiful 😍. I hope your grandchild inherits your eyes. Thank you for letting us into your home, your hobbies, your heart, and your spiritual life .
Vonna, I am so enjoying your excitement about being a grandma!!! The bibs are such fun! Loved the tour of your gorgeous needlework wall with the gorgeous Santa of the Forest taking center stage!!! Your new needlework stand looks like a dream! I really enjoy your Stitching Stars - thank you for sharing them. Thanks as always and happy stitching!
Thank you so much! Stitching Stars is my favorite part too because I live looking at and sharing such beautiful stitching with others. Showcasing others is my favorite!
Vonna can I just say you look so radiant and I gasped when I say the painting of you which I am sure your beautiful , talented daughter ! Love everything you do and can hardly wait until your little grandchild arrives! This baby I truly blessed to have such a supportive grandmother and family he or she will have! Love everything you stitch, sew or finish. Your a blessing to watch. Thank you
The Lady was absolutely gorgeous! I'm Catholic. I was taught the story about the Virgin Mother appearing to the 3 children of Guadeloupe. This piece is stunning. Too full of coverage then I can produce. I love it! Thank you for covering this piece. Awesome to the person who stitched it. The Kingdom of Books was complete awesome! ♥️
I need to get me a friend named Dave! That stand is amazing! I have all those issues you had, my stand constantly collapses under my arm while I stitch. 😂
Great video Vonna! Can’t wait to see your grandchild! I know it is exciting for you and your family! I Will certainly add Katie and baby to my prayer list! You look fabulous my friend! Thanks for always sharing with the stitching community! ❤❤❤
Always nice to visit with you again; just like being with an old friend. You are so happy with preparing for the grandbaby, it just overflows. I will have to check out the new stand. I will uplift your daughter and baby in prayer as well as the rest of the family.
I will definitely pray for Katie's safe delivery and healthy baby. Such an exciting time!! My niece, who sees beautifully, made her first grand baby's Baptismal gown. She was SO stressed! Literally finished it just hours ahead of time!! Strss wrecks your body and makes you sick. Don't do it!
Love your stitch wall, beautiful pieces, and all your new baby sewing! Also, love stitching stars, love seeing others work! Lovely video! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing the stand, I have been looking for a change in how I stitch and this seems perfect. Thanks for showing how you stitch with it as well, very helpful. Your grandchild is so blessed to have you and your whole family. Our son got married last year so we are hopeful that we will be grandparents one day. Love all the photos at the end especially the Easter Vigil.
Oh Miss Vonna, after seeing that BEAUTIFUL nursery, you might consider doing the baby clothes in green, like the walls of the nursery. How cute that the legs were crossed for the entire time. Gonna be a precious addition to your family!! I also make everyone burp rags, but only flannel and terrycloth. Love your videos.
So much in your video to say “you are fabulous “! First, I hope your friend’s husband gets a patent on the stand. I also hope he gets my email and makes the stands for me. I know he will be inundated. Everything you do is wonderful and so demonstrative of what it means to be a Christian. You live it and don’t just talk it. Getting volunteers for funeral lunches is so hard to do. Women wear so many hats anymore and don’t have time to volunteer. I truly think there is a desire to volunteer. It is not because they don’t want to. I can tell you that being a grandma is just absolutely the best feeling in the world … until great grandchildren start coming! God truly loves us!! Prayers for your daughter-in law, expected grandchild and son!! So much more I could say! You are my favorite! Thank you for your time and talent and unselfish giving!
Thank you for sharing! Great job on all your grandma stitching! Those burp clothes are a life saver as we know! They are fabulous! Your lap stand is phenomenal! I just might need to look into that later on this year. I just did my taxes so no extra money right now🤨 happy stitching!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us. Love hearing about your family and seeing all your projects. Congratulations on your soon to be grand baby! So exciting.
Hi Vonna. Kelly from Michigan here. Love your Flosstube, and am so appreciative of all the stitching/crafting knowledge that you freely share. I want you to know that you can get Isle Royal National Park by boat. There are charters available. While you're in Northern Michigan, visit the Cross in the Woods in Indian River. It's a real blessing and holy place. The gardens are beautiful. 😊❤
I loved this video, Vonna, and I immediately ordered a stand from Dave! I love the things you asked for on the stand! 😍 Your stitching wall is gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing with us. You are the best. 💓
Hi Vonna! I just want to say “thank you!” I hadn’t been in the best mood since last night (over something silly, to be honest) and your video helped put me in a good mood and better head space. I appreciate your positivity, honesty, hard work and creativity. Take care!
What a kind thing to say! Thank you ☺️ mom so glad I could help. Now here is one for you: I’m struggling this week myself….I’m doing too much, I haven’t had time for me and I’ve been down and grouchy. Your sweet words have helped me this morning too. Thank YOU!
I watch all the time but don’t often get a chance to comment. I just want to say what an inspiration you are. Your creativity is a gift from God and I can see it spilling out of you as you have more ideas than time to execute. If your heart still feels the baptismal gown and your family would appreciate it, then don’t write yourself off. You absolutely can and will do it. Give yourself grace Vonna, you are so generous and giving and talented and I would hate to see you regret not doing the baptismal gown. Blessings and wishes from Northern Ireland, Sarah.
Well Sarah, (I love your name btw - if I would have had a 5th child and it were a girl, Sarah it would have been)....I restarted the Baptismal gown yesterday after Mass....and I'm rather proud to say: I've done lace insertions and they have turned out pretty doggone good! Now I still have neckline and long sleeves and all that to go, but God is with me because I DO really want to make a Baptismal gown. I had a dream the night after I did this video and it was telling me to do the gown. So I am. Thank you so much for watching and your kind sincerity!
Vonna, everything you touch turns beautiful. I love your happy attitude, precious is what you are. Thank you for all that you share and letting us in on your life. Love you kiddo!🩷🩷🩷
Great catching up with you! Loved the entire video……but I busted out laughing seeing the cat standing as a human. I laugh every time I think about it 😂. Thanks for the visit. ❤
Dear Vonna, you made my day by sharing my Summer Moon by Plum Street. It was one that I stitched monogamously because I just could not put it down. I say I am a cross stitch carpenter as I love to stitch houses so much. I got tickled at all the new baby preparations...It brought back my excitement when I found out I was going to be a grandmother. That granddaughter will graduate from high school this May! What a lovely time you are going to have with that precious one. As usual I loved your stitching and I count Joanie as a friend( online) as well. She let me borrow a unicorn chart once and I have never forgotten that! Her husband will have lots of orders for that stitch stand. You can tell a stitcher designed it!!
Congrats on being a grandma soon!! Thank you for sharing info on Dave's xstitch stand. I had to order one. Apparently the Vonna Marketing Dept did a good job because it will be quite a few months before i receive mine. So much for Dave's retirement. Joan was so nice to communicate with on my order!!
I’m so glad you’re getting help with the funeral lunches! Your stitching is absolutely beautiful as always regardless of how much or little! I’m so glad Katie’s pregnancy is going well! I will definitely pray for her! I love the idea of a stitched piece for each grand kid! (My daughter’s favorite color is blue) Those are the cutest burp cloths ever and those blankets are going to be precious! That stand sounds like a dream! I’m so surprised you remembered what each piece on your what was called. Take care Vonna. You made my day with posting your video!
Thank you. Thank you. I have placed my order for the stitching stand. Can't hardly wait. Your stitchy wall looks so good. And, what a great looking family.
The nursery is adorable and is something that the baby can grow into. Just with a few changes, it can be a "big kid" room. You can always take a cruise to Hawaii since you don't like flying. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
I loved every aspect of your video, Vonna!! I saw that you had gone through skin peels and I must say that your skin just glows. You look absolutely beautiful!!🥰 A new great grandbaby will be arriving in May to our family. The baby is a boy and they will name him Liam Micheal which I really like. Your ideas for the burp pads is fantastic. I hope to make some for the new baby. I am making a quilt and I won’t see them until they visit in July so I would have time to make some. Great idea and so adorable. I love the new lap stand, and I hope to be able to order one in the future. I have a floor stand made by Judy Odell years ago of Just A Thought and it is still in perfect shape but I find that I like to stitch in bed (due to back issues) or in one of my chairs which have the swivel bottoms and don’t work with my stand. I plan to try to sell my floor stand and then order one of your new ones. Thanks so much for sharing all of information and the very thorough demonstration of the stand. I really think I would also love it. Your stitching wall is so fantastic, and I had to write down several patterns during your video from that and what you shared. If the Christening gown is bringing you stress it is really a good idea to go a different route for that; there is so much stress in our lives that anytime we can eliminate a stress it is totally worth it. I pray many blessings on you and your family and especially for the new little one that will be joining all of you. A little one is so precious and such a joy and a true miracle of life. Hugs and happy stitching to you (with your new stand)!! ❤
Congratulations on becoming a Grandmother, I am so happy for you. Love the burp cloths. The frame is amazing. I am a down and up stitcher, the frame stand is amazing. I follow Marly on her Blog site. Your family photos are lovely.
Congratulations on a new Grand baby. I have made numerous Self Binding Baby Blankets. I usually make both sides flannel. I make a pair of them that “match”. The pattern I follow takes a 40” square piece for the back and a 30” square piece for the front. I get 2 yards (72”) of 2 coordination fabrics. You get a 40” & 30” square of each piece, then swap the front and back., and you have 2 blankets with opposite front/back. Then when you square off the 30” piece you are left with approx 10-12” pieces that I square up and make little spit clothes. I sew one each of the fabric together, turn right side out and top stitch around the edge to close. Flannel is quite absorbent so I don’t think the spit cloths need terry. These are a Mommy favorite and a great shower gift idea. Your stitching is so beautiful, I loved the tour of your sampler wall and Santa of the Forest is exquisite, absolutely gorgeous, and he better win Grand Champion at the fair. I love to see your excitement about your new lap stand. So glad you were able to work with someone to get beyond what you wanted and needed. Hope to see a lot of stitching on that stand.
Congratulations on being a grandmother. It's a blessing 😊. I hope you get some time to stitch and thank you for showing your collaboration stand. I need one of them and will look into getting one. Thank you!
I made receiving blankets for all of my grandbabies. I made them 36" by 36", crocheted the edges with #8 thread. My daughters loved them because they were so much bigger than the ones that you can buy.
Thank you Vonna for another amazing video. Congrats on your grandmother status. Such a blessing. I love the lap stand; such a great collaboration. I have contacted Dave and hoping he can make one for me.
Vonna, congratulations on your new grand baby. I will pray for your daughter ‘s healthy pregnancy. That lap stand looks absolutely amazing. Thank you for showing how to put it together. Will come in handy to the many people that will be ordering it.
I read your news today that you’ll be retiring from finishing. I’m not one of your clients, but have so valued your tutorials. They have given me the knowledge and confidence to begin finishing so many of my own smalls. I’m sure letting go is difficult, but rest assured that you can take some measure of credit for THOUSANDS of finishes you’ve inspired by so generously sharing your techniques. More time for stitching and family.
Thoroughly enjoyed your Flosstube Vonna, thank you for sharing. I stitched Teresa Kogut's Easter freebie pattern over Easter, was a beautiful piece to stitch while reflecting. Good luck with yours! 💗
Thank you so much for your kindness and watch! I had high hopes to finish it on Easter, but I had been at church literally all week doing flower arrangements, setting up Altar of Repose, Risen Christ display…and at every Triduum mass that by the time I sat to stitch on Easter Sunday I promptly fell asleep. I slept all day 😂
Vonna, never apologize for getting choked up. It’s a gift to experience things so deeply. You turn off comments on your tutorials so please let me say here for so many of us how grateful we are to have them as reference material. You absolutely need to do a book. Great retirement project to keep in mind. I want a signed copy.
I was so happy to see that you posted a video Vonna! I have added your Daughter-In-Law and baby to my prayer list! Thank you for your service to God's House!
What an amazing stitching stand! That is so cool that he worked with you to solve all your problems with other stands. Looking forward to seeing all the wonderful stitching you accomplish with it! 😉 Love your Stitching Stars segment. Beauty has a way of touching the heart & making the soul sing! Don't apologize for getting emotional. It's wonderful to see.
Your Stitching Wall is gorgeous - such a labor of love! You truly are a stitching inspiration. The nursery is so cute and your grand baby is so lucky to have all the burp cloths and blankets handmade by you. It truly is so special when your baby has a baby! ❤
I always enjoy your videos so much! The baby's room looks so peaceful and I'll be praying that Katie's pregnancy continues to be healthy. And your hair looks fabulous!
Vonna I’m going to add Katie to my prayers that God will keep she and this new little one safe, healthy and full term until birth🙏. I thank you for the wonderful demonstration you gave on your new cross stitching stand. It looks fantastic and easy to set up. Congratulations on a great collaboration with Dave to get the perfect stand. Loved seeing all the lovely burp cloths and blankets you are making for that new grandbaby! The nursery theme is so special with the animals. It was wonderful seeing the Stitching Stars segment too. So many beautiful projects which were not small projects!! Have fun with your new stitching stand.
You are such a genuine hearted lady. 😊 I love that you get choked up over needlework.
Vonna, I have binged watched your December through March videos!! I am so inspired by you and your wonderfully loving family. Thank you for sharing your time and your talent with all of us.

That stand is like the Cadillac of all stands!!! The flat arms really got my attention’
Yes, I have a Hope stand that I’ve worn out. I also have a similar K’s creation and it is not my fav…. This one though…. Definitely my fav ❤❤
Wonderful updates, yes I did order the stitch stand, and I am looking forward to using it, as mentioned it really does address most of the problems with lap stands I have owned in the past.

I laughed out loud when you looked into the camera and asked how to get more time. You are one of a kind Vonna. Never change.
😂 thanks!
Vonna can I just say you look so radiant and I gasped when I say the painting of you which I am sure your beautiful , talented daughter ! Love everything you do and can hardly wait until your little grandchild arrives! This baby I truly blessed to have such a supportive grandmother and family he or she will have! Love everything you stitch, sew or finish. Your a blessing to watch. Thank you
Awww thank you so much! Yes Ellie created my picture at the beginning ❤
I love your portrait at the beginning. I guessed that Ellie created it . ❤️
The Lady was absolutely gorgeous! I'm Catholic. I was taught the story about the Virgin Mother appearing to the 3 children of Guadeloupe. This piece is stunning. Too full of coverage then I can produce. I love it! Thank you for covering this piece. Awesome to the person who stitched it.
The Kingdom of Books was complete awesome! ♥️
You are calling the baby Blueberry. Blue is perfect and you have the ultrasound story to go with it. Congratulations!
Thank you Vonna!! I purchased the HH Spool and will be so thrilled for your tutorial.
Congratulations Grandma to be. A huge blessing awaits. 😍
Thank you ❤
I need to get me a friend named Dave! That stand is amazing! I have all those issues you had, my stand constantly collapses under my arm while I stitch. 😂
Great video Vonna! Can’t wait to see your grandchild! I know it is exciting for you and your family! I Will certainly add Katie and baby to my prayer list! You look fabulous my friend! Thanks for always sharing with the stitching community! ❤❤❤
Congratulations!! Prayers for a safe and healthy delivery for Katie & baby!
Always nice to visit with you again; just like being with an old friend. You are so happy with preparing for the grandbaby, it just overflows. I will have to check out the new stand. I will uplift your daughter and baby in prayer as well as the rest of the family.
Praying for a healthy, happy grandchild. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us!
I will definitely pray for Katie's safe delivery and healthy baby. Such an exciting time!! My niece, who sees beautifully, made her first grand baby's Baptismal gown. She was SO stressed! Literally finished it just hours ahead of time!! Strss wrecks your body and makes you sick. Don't do it!
Yeah, I’m gonna buy it…told my husband this evening 😂
Vonna, you are truly such a delight! I'm always amazed by your videos + can't wait for the next!
Thank you so much for your kindness ❤
Love your stitch wall, beautiful pieces, and all your new baby sewing! Also, love stitching stars, love seeing others work! Lovely video! Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing the stand, I have been looking for a change in how I stitch and this seems perfect. Thanks for showing how you stitch with it as well, very helpful.

So much in your video to say “you are fabulous “! First, I hope your friend’s husband gets a patent on the stand. I also hope he gets my email and makes the stands for me. I know he will be inundated.
Everything you do is wonderful and so demonstrative of what it means to be a Christian. You live it and don’t just talk it. Getting volunteers for funeral lunches is so hard to do. Women wear so many hats anymore and don’t have time to volunteer. I truly think there is a desire to volunteer. It is not because they don’t want to.
I can tell you that being a grandma is just absolutely the best feeling in the world … until great grandchildren start coming! God truly loves us!!
Prayers for your daughter-in law, expected grandchild and son!!
So much more I could say!
You are my favorite! Thank you for your time and talent and unselfish giving!
Awww what a kind, heartfelt, sincere comment! Thank you ❤❤
Love your videos, Vonna! You are going to be a fabulous grandmother!
Thank you so much!❤❤
Thank you for sharing! Great job on all your grandma stitching! Those burp clothes are a life saver as we know! They are fabulous! Your lap stand is phenomenal! I just might need to look into that later on this year. I just did my taxes so no extra money right now🤨 happy stitching!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us. Love hearing about your family and seeing all your projects. Congratulations on your soon to be grand baby! So exciting.
Thank you so much for watching!
Hi Vonna. Kelly from Michigan here. Love your Flosstube, and am so appreciative of all the stitching/crafting knowledge that you freely share. I want you to know that you can get Isle Royal National Park by boat. There are charters available. While you're in Northern Michigan, visit the Cross in the Woods in Indian River. It's a real blessing and holy place. The gardens are beautiful. 😊❤
There is a special spot in Heaven for you Vonna. Your generosity is much appreciated!
I hope so! But I don’t know what an did 😊 but thank you so much for your very sincere and kind words ❤❤❤have a great weekend 😘
@@VonnaPfeiffer Your generosity with your time is quite the gift.
@@margie6534 aww thank you 😊 😘❤️
I loved this video, Vonna, and I immediately ordered a stand from Dave! I love the things you asked for on the stand! 😍 Your stitching wall is gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing with us. You are the best. 💓
Thank you for watching ❤
Hi Vonna! I just want to say “thank you!” I hadn’t been in the best mood since last night (over something silly, to be honest) and your video helped put me in a good mood and better head space. I appreciate your positivity, honesty, hard work and creativity. Take care!
What a kind thing to say! Thank you ☺️ mom so glad I could help. Now here is one for you: I’m struggling this week myself….I’m doing too much, I haven’t had time for me and I’ve been down and grouchy. Your sweet words have helped me this morning too. Thank YOU!
@@VonnaPfeiffer one of my fav things about this community is the support and love we offer each other ❤️
Vonna, you bring so much joy 🥰. Thank you!!!
Thank you for your kindness ❤❤
I watch all the time but don’t often get a chance to comment. I just want to say what an inspiration you are. Your creativity is a gift from God and I can see it spilling out of you as you have more ideas than time to execute. If your heart still feels the baptismal gown and your family would appreciate it, then don’t write yourself off. You absolutely can and will do it. Give yourself grace Vonna, you are so generous and giving and talented and I would hate to see you regret not doing the baptismal gown. Blessings and wishes from Northern Ireland, Sarah.
Well Sarah, (I love your name btw - if I would have had a 5th child and it were a girl, Sarah it would have been)....I restarted the Baptismal gown yesterday after Mass....and I'm rather proud to say: I've done lace insertions and they have turned out pretty doggone good! Now I still have neckline and long sleeves and all that to go, but God is with me because I DO really want to make a Baptismal gown. I had a dream the night after I did this video and it was telling me to do the gown. So I am. Thank you so much for watching and your kind sincerity!
Vonna, everything you touch turns beautiful. I love your happy attitude, precious is what you are. Thank you for all that you share and letting us in on your life. Love you kiddo!🩷🩷🩷
Your stitch wall is amazing. I love how you have the seasonal work mixed in. All of those pieces deserve to be on display all year long. ❤
To me a holiday can be any day...not just a date on a calendar. I celebrate all year! Thanks for watching!
Great catching up with you! Loved the entire video……but I busted out laughing seeing the cat standing as a human. I laugh every time I think about it 😂. Thanks for the visit. ❤
me too!!
Thank you so much for watching 😂❤
Dear Vonna, you made my day by sharing my Summer Moon by Plum Street. It was one that I stitched monogamously because I just could not put it down. I say I am a cross stitch carpenter as I love to stitch houses so much. I got tickled at all the new baby preparations...It brought back my excitement when I found out I was going to be a grandmother. That granddaughter will graduate from high school this May! What a lovely time you are going to have with that precious one. As usual I loved your stitching and I count Joanie as a friend( online) as well. She let me borrow a unicorn chart once and I have never forgotten that! Her husband will have lots of orders for that stitch stand. You can tell a stitcher designed it!!
Your piece much deserving, it is gorgeous ❤
Congrats on being a grandma soon!! Thank you for sharing info on Dave's xstitch stand. I had to order one. Apparently the Vonna Marketing Dept did a good job because it will be quite a few months before i receive mine. So much for Dave's retirement. Joan was so nice to communicate with on my order!!
LOVE!!! Everything! And the stitching frame looks really great too!
Thanks Vonna. Great video. Love seeing stitchy stars
I’m so glad you’re getting help with the funeral lunches!
Your stitching is absolutely beautiful as always regardless of how much or little!
I’m so glad Katie’s pregnancy is going well! I will definitely pray for her!
I love the idea of a stitched piece for each grand kid! (My daughter’s favorite color is blue)
Those are the cutest burp cloths ever and those blankets are going to be precious!
That stand sounds like a dream!
I’m so surprised you remembered what each piece on your what was called.
Take care Vonna. You made my day with posting your video!
I’m so glad I’m getting help too….i need it….in more ways than one 😂 thank you so much for swinging in ❤ have a great weekend!
Nice burp cloths! When I make burp cloths, I get inexpensive bath towels for one side & flannel for the other side.
❤. Just a wonderful lovely video Vonna! I love your new stitching stand!
Thank you so much! ❤❤
Congratulations on becoming a grandma, there’s nothing like it! Your walk is amazing! ♥️
That new lap stand is amazing! Such beautiful craftsmanship! Love the pictures of the family and cats. ❤
Vonna, I attempted to email Dave and both times it was returned as undeliverable. I emailed you as well. Great stand! You’re a good saleswoman.
I forwarded and CC’d you! Thank you!
Thanks so much Vonna. I love all your videos. You are my hero!
Thank you. Thank you. I have placed my order for the stitching stand. Can't hardly wait. Your stitchy wall looks so good. And, what a great looking family.
Wonderful ❤❤ thanks for watching ❤
Congratulations on your future grand baby. So happy Dave made you the perfect stand. Looks like every thing I would look for. To bad he’s retired
He’s coming out of retirement to make stands 😂 itsallaboutthewood56@gmail.com
The nursery is adorable and is something that the baby can grow into. Just with a few changes, it can be a "big kid" room. You can always take a cruise to Hawaii since you don't like flying. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
No stitching, a little stitching or a lot of stitching, your video visits are always my favorite!
Yay, thank you so much ❤❤❤
You were getting choked up because you are such a beautiful soul. Thank you for ALL you do. ❤❤❤😊
Awww thank you ❤❤
Love your new cross stitch frame!! Thanks for sharing how to get one!! ❤️
I loved every aspect of your video, Vonna!! I saw that you had gone through skin peels and I must say that your skin just glows. You look absolutely beautiful!!🥰 A new great grandbaby will be arriving in May to our family. The baby is a boy and they will name him Liam Micheal which I really like. Your ideas for the burp pads is fantastic. I hope to make some for the new baby. I am making a quilt and I won’t see them until they visit in July so I would have time to make some. Great idea and so adorable. I love the new lap stand, and I hope to be able to order one in the future. I have a floor stand made by Judy Odell years ago of Just A Thought and it is still in perfect shape but I find that I like to stitch in bed (due to back issues) or in one of my chairs which have the swivel bottoms and don’t work with my stand. I plan to try to sell my floor stand and then order one of your new ones. Thanks so much for sharing all of information and the very thorough demonstration of the stand. I really think I would also love it. Your stitching wall is so fantastic, and I had to write down several patterns during your video from that and what you shared. If the Christening gown is bringing you stress it is really a good idea to go a different route for that; there is so much stress in our lives that anytime we can eliminate a stress it is totally worth it. I pray many blessings on you and your family and especially for the new little one that will be joining all of you. A little one is so precious and such a joy and a true miracle of life. Hugs and happy stitching to you (with your new stand)!! ❤
Your wall is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on becoming a Grandmother, I am so happy for you.
Love the burp cloths.
The frame is amazing. I am a down and up stitcher, the frame stand is amazing. I follow Marly on her Blog site. Your family photos are lovely.
Thank you so much!❤❤
Congratulations on a new Grand baby. I have made numerous Self Binding Baby Blankets. I usually make both sides flannel. I make a pair of them that “match”. The pattern I follow takes a 40” square piece for the back and a 30” square piece for the front. I get 2 yards (72”) of 2 coordination fabrics. You get a 40” & 30” square of each piece, then swap the front and back., and you have 2 blankets with opposite front/back. Then when you square off the 30” piece you are left with approx 10-12” pieces that I square up and make little spit clothes. I sew one each of the fabric together, turn right side out and top stitch around the edge to close. Flannel is quite absorbent so I don’t think the spit cloths need terry. These are a Mommy favorite and a great shower gift idea.
Your stitching is so beautiful, I loved the tour of your sampler wall and Santa of the Forest is exquisite, absolutely gorgeous, and he better win Grand Champion at the fair.
I love to see your excitement about your new lap stand. So glad you were able to work with someone to get beyond what you wanted and needed. Hope to see a lot of stitching on that stand.
Well thank you for your expert advice. I’ve always made mine with terry cloth because I like the weight.
Congratulations on being a grandmother. It's a blessing 😊. I hope you get some time to stitch and thank you for showing your collaboration stand. I need one of them and will look into getting one. Thank you!
Thank you so much!❤❤
I made receiving blankets for all of my grandbabies. I made them 36" by 36", crocheted the edges with #8 thread. My daughters loved them because they were so much bigger than the ones that you can buy.
Thank you Vonna for another amazing video. Congrats on your grandmother status. Such a blessing. I love the lap stand; such a great collaboration. I have contacted Dave and hoping he can make one for me.
Thank you so much for watching ❤
You are going to love being a grand ma. It is the best thing ever.
We can’t wait 🎉
Vonna, congratulations on your new grand baby. I will pray for your daughter ‘s healthy pregnancy. That lap stand looks absolutely amazing. Thank you for showing how to put it together. Will come in handy to the many people that will be ordering it.
Thank you for your prayers ❤
I read your news today that you’ll be retiring from finishing. I’m not one of your clients, but have so valued your tutorials. They have given me the knowledge and confidence to begin finishing so many of my own smalls. I’m sure letting go is difficult, but rest assured that you can take some measure of credit for THOUSANDS of finishes you’ve inspired by so generously sharing your techniques.
More time for stitching and family.
I’m quitting my business, I’m not retiring from creating or sharing my knowledge. Thank you for your kind words.
Love your Floss Tube and congrats on the new grand baby. Love all the burp cloths! The stand is awesome and looks like it’s perfect for you. 🤍
Thanks so much!!❤❤
Thoroughly enjoyed your Flosstube Vonna, thank you for sharing. I stitched Teresa Kogut's Easter freebie pattern over Easter, was a beautiful piece to stitch while reflecting. Good luck with yours! 💗
Thank you so much for your kindness and watch! I had high hopes to finish it on Easter, but I had been at church literally all week doing flower arrangements, setting up Altar of Repose, Risen Christ display…and at every Triduum mass that by the time I sat to stitch on Easter Sunday I promptly fell asleep. I slept all day 😂
I'm sure your community appreciated the beautiful flowers 💗
Vonna, never apologize for getting choked up. It’s a gift to experience things so deeply. You turn off comments on your tutorials so please let me say here for so many of us how grateful we are to have them as reference material. You absolutely need to do a book. Great retirement project to keep in mind. I want a signed copy.
Those stitching stars are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your family pictures! Love the cats too!♥️
Thank you so much!
I was so happy to see that you posted a video Vonna! I have added your Daughter-In-Law and baby to my prayer list! Thank you for your service to God's House!
Thank you so much ❤
What a beautiful way to spend my morning. Great video,thank you for sharing your life,family and stitching.Have a blessed day💗💗
Thank you so much for watching ❤
Fun times ahead being a grandmother! And blessings on your church work. Have spent many hours in the kitchen preparing for a funeral dinner.
Thank you for your service to the grieving ❤
What an amazing stitching stand! That is so cool that he worked with you to solve all your problems with other stands. Looking forward to seeing all the wonderful stitching you accomplish with it! 😉
Love your Stitching Stars segment. Beauty has a way of touching the heart & making the soul sing! Don't apologize for getting emotional. It's wonderful to see.
Thank you for watching ❤
Blessings to you and yours, Vonna!
This was such fun that I couldn’t stitch and watch…..had to just watch! Thanks Vonna!
Your Stitching Wall is gorgeous - such a labor of love! You truly are a stitching inspiration. The nursery is so cute and your grand baby is so lucky to have all the burp cloths and blankets handmade by you. It truly is so special when your baby has a baby! ❤
We can’t wait🎉 thanks so much for watching!
Always enjoy seeing your updates! Great review on the stand. Loved all the family pics!
I always enjoy your videos so much! The baby's room looks so peaceful and I'll be praying that Katie's pregnancy continues to be healthy. And your hair looks fabulous!
Awww thank you ❤ prayers much appreciated ❤ my hair, I only wash it every 3-4 days and I’m amazed at how much healthier it is 😊
Vonna, thank you so much for sharing my ‘Our Lady of Guadalupe’ piece. I was honored to hear your kind words about it. Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing it with me! I meant every word! ❤❤ and it is truly stunning!
Vonna I’m going to add Katie to my prayers that God will keep she and this new little one safe, healthy and full term until birth🙏. I thank you for the wonderful demonstration you gave on your new cross stitching stand. It looks fantastic and easy to set up. Congratulations on a great collaboration with Dave to get the perfect stand. Loved seeing all the lovely burp cloths and blankets you are making for that new grandbaby! The nursery theme is so special with the animals. It was wonderful seeing the Stitching Stars segment too. So many beautiful projects which were not small projects!! Have fun with your new stitching stand.
Thank you for your gift of prayer and for watching my video! Have a great week ahead!
Always a joy to watch your Flosstubes! Thanks for sharing so openly! 🎉❤
