Good evening ladies, I watch you from Ireland. I do enjoy spending time with you on your site. Your great educators, I did a little cross stitch when I lived in the U.S. in the '70. I'm back at it a short time. I sew, I make quilts, knit and do Neddlepoint. My husband is from Sunbury PA, went to school in Lancaster + spent 8 years in USMC. I met him when he was stationed in Spain and I was touring Europe. We will be married 45 years in October. We live in a rural community in Co Cavan. Congratulations to McKenna and Connor on their engagement, what excitement for you all. Their names sound very Irish. I would love to make Liz's penny rug. Your finishing idea's are lovely, Deb's idea for the pumpkin with Matt's frame was outstanding. Take care. Marion
Wonderful engagement story! So nice to see all the lovely cross stitch patterns. I loved the black cat jumping over the pumpkin. It will look so nice once it’s in the black frame. Both those samplers would be fun to stitch up.
Deb and Liz I can’t wait to watch your videos. I’m a couple month’s new. It’s been 40 years since I’ve cross stitched and so thrilled I’m cross stitching again. This is November 2022. I love almost everything you ladies do. I need to stock up. Love you Liz and Deb! ❤
Such a happy story. Best of everything to sweet McKenna, her fiancee, and all! I loved seeing all your stitches. I am one who is back in love with cross stitching after a break of over 30 years. (Sampler) I am loving it but possibly I chose something too hard.. Coming to America! Wow. I am doing 18 Aida 1 over 1... Whew it is tiny! I cannot imagine yours, Deb! I took a class in the late 70's with my sweet Mama and then just got busy with other things... And even with health challenges --- I can still stitch!
Hi! Long time subscriber, love the cross stitch and the stories. Congrats on the engagement. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and stitching in hand is challenging now after all these years. I just purchased a Lowery floor stand, I’ve had it 3 days or so, but I’m having trouble getting my magnetic board that holds my paper pattern to where I can see it. Hubby handed me a cow magnet to stick on the stand where it holds the frame. The board sticks quite well and stitching is going better. I’ve named the magnet Hank. Now to get faster at two handed stitching. I also have trouble at night stitching, because I get tired too. Thanks for the video and be well.
You two have been keeping me company while casting off my shawl of 900 stitches, and I enjoy your friendship and the laughter but most of all you both do beautiful work and have inspired to want to stitch it all, especially using that Potoky stand in the background. I love the M-5 but a mine would fit nicely in my home too.
I see that beautiful green Potoky stand in the background teasing us...Congratulations to McKenna and Conner. The engagement setting was beautiful; can't wait to see this wedding come together!
Congratulations on your daughter's engagement!!! A lifetime of joy and happiness to the happy couple. As a subscriber the green Potoky stand would make my life a lot easier to stitch! Thank you for sharing with your subscribers!! The M2 and M3 stands look awesome on there website.
I loved all the excitement and planning that it took for the engagement for McKenna. It makes me feel as if I'm a part of your family for you to share this exciting moment. You are truly blessed. I really love your counting pins. I have just been using regular quilting pins to keep track of my stitches but yours look so much more prettier. The Potoky Mini is still my favorite for both beauty, function, and health relief!!!!!!!! After viewing the web site I can see that it would be a great help to me with my neck problems.
Congratulations, McKenna! What wonderful news. Regarding the uptick in stitching, I totally agree. I try to stitch every day, even for just a few minutes, but I am stitching much more now. I took a break from Flosstube, early on in the pandemic. My Grandson lives with me and I didn’t want to distract him from his home school work. I’ve gotten back into watching recently and I have so much to catch up on. Visiting virtually with you two has been a balm for an anxious soul❤️. I had a good laugh about your relationships with your irons😂. I’m a quilter / mask maker as well as a stitcher so I’ve changed my views on ironing. Before I started quilting, I would only iron under duress. I’m staring longingly at the Potoky’s behind you. I love the mini, but now I drifting back to the original video and lusting over Liz.s stand, I think I’m in love. Stay well, stay safe, enjoy the new chapter in your daughter’s life, Deb. Liz, you look smashing in taupe and pearls!
Thank you so much for sharing McKenna's engagement with us. So exciting. Wishes them many years of love, blessings, and happiness. I enjoy these nice, long videos and am still admiring the Potokys. Gorgeous. Thank you for your time.
Wow what an exciting video. Congratulations on McKenna’s engagement. I had happy tears listening to the story. How sweet. Liz I too can fall asleep while stitching. I lose needles all the time but when fall asleep always wake io with the needle in my hand and place to stitch. LOL Amazing. Only about 10 minutes or so So I loved Deb telling your story. Deb what an eye for finishing, need a Deb in my life! The cat and pumpkin are going to be so cute finished that way. Recently stitched my 1 st sampler and now I love them. As always look forward to seeing you 2. The Potoky stand is so nice. Thank you.
I missed you yesterday, so was glad to find your video today. Such exciting news for McKenna and your family. How lovely that he included your family in it and asked your permission first. The Potoky mini-stand is calling my name. Love, love, love it! Stitching a sampler never interested me before, but since starting cross stitching again and watching you, I have fallen in love with samplers!
Hi Liz and Deb! So happy for McKenna’s engagement! Liz, I can definitely relate to falling asleep while stitching - it happens to me almost every night! I don’t drop my needle either, lol! Thank you for the counting pins tips - I’m a quilter also, but never thought to use pins as an aid to keeping my place. Great info! The two sampler patterns are very nice.
Lovely. Once again ladies a fun time. I spotted that Potoky stand back there. Deb’s stand is most practical for me though the floor stand is to die for. Congrats Deb on an amazing week of engagements and birthdays. Stay safe. Kate
Yay! How fun to plan a wedding! Congratulations to you - it’s nice to see such happy smiling faces. That potoky stand just standing there looking pretty -such a tease!
Congratulations to McKenna and Conner on their engagement! Love your stitching, I would love to have the POTOCKY mini stand...but wouldn’t turn down the box!
So happy for McKenna! What a great surprise! Congratulations! (Good-looking couple!) If money were no object, I really like the Potoky M5 Floor Stand. I tend to stitch with scroll frames (my fav) and Q-Snaps. I also stitch in-hand and with hoops. The 'Mini' would be great for retreats. Hope you ladies enjoy the long weekend. Stay safe and enjoy the stitch!
I love the Potoky products! Thanks for introducing me to them. The workmanship looks amazing, and so nice to have a choice of finishes. The stands look quite sturdy, I think I would enjoy the mini stand. But the box looks great, too! You can never have too many places to store needlework tools and trinkets! Thanks for another great video!
I saw your Instagram post of McKenna's engagement! How beautiful! What a special event. I enjoy hearing your pointers on techniques. You all are fun together! The Sampler patterns you showed were very pretty, too. Thank you for sharing your stitching!
Congratulations to McKenna and Conner! And Happy birthday to her too! Deb I bet you are already dreaming of ways to decorate for the wedding! Loved the fabric and ribbon idea for Liz's cat /pumpkin piece. I have a small BBD patriotic piece that I think would be cute framed in that way. Thank you for the inspiration! Loved your progress on the G Leger Sampler and the Scenic Farm. I love the idea Liz of using different color counting pins for different sums(?.) When you reached for your beautiful Coming to America box Deb, I thought you had made something with the Potoky box. That is such a beautiful way to commemorate both the Mayflower Anniversary and stitching it. Are one or both of you stitching something for the Wedding/marriage? Have a wonderful week!
That mini Potoky stand is my favorite because of how portable it is. Congratulations on McKenna’s engagement. It sounds like a wonderful evening! I would love to stitch a sampler. It would be my first one.
Congratulations to the happy couple... Happy 21st Birthday for McKenna... Beautiful stitching... I am stitching Sampler September did a new start while watching ...Broderie a Paris... .. Happy stitching...
Congratulations to Deb’s daughter with their engagement! How exciting! I like the idea of using the elongated stitch for the roofs. I’m going to try that. I really enjoyed all of Liz’s patterns... I would like to try a lot of them and also have some of the same ones. The colors of the POTOKY stands are so pretty. I think I would choose green in the M3 series. Thank you again for all the ideas and gadget corner!
Congratulations to McKenna & Conner from Southern Ontario,Canada! How exciting for all!!! I still love the Potoky box & Potoky stand,. I have never stitched a Sampler but would love to!
Congratulations on your daughter's engagement! It is so nice to hear good news with everything that is happening in the world. I used to cross-stitch in the early 90s when my kids were babies. I found it to be a nice, relaxing thing to do while they slept. I gave it up when they started school and work got busier. I have recently picked it up again, starting over from scratch. I love it! I have never done a sampler so I would be intrigued to do those you are offering. Thank you so much for the laughs and your video in general. I am about to start binge-watching from the beginning! Wish me luck! lol Edit: You guys are such enablers! I only got to #3 and I have already purchased the Winter Bell Pull pattern from 123Stitch along with the beads that were available as well as the floss I do not already have...then I found the fabric on eBay...so it's all on the way. I'm kind of afraid to keep watching now! lol Thanks ladies!
Congratulations on the engagement! How wonderful! Great video, lots to see and learn. I registered for the Potoky company and spoke about it in video #58 on Once Upon a Stitch. My preference is the lap stand but all their products look amazing. Liz, your attention to details is awesome. Stay safe and happy stitching! Lori
Congratulations to you and McKenna! How exciting! Cant wait to hear more about the wedding plans!!! And of course, all your stitchy progress is so impressive and inspiring! 💓💓💓
Congratulations to Makenna and Connor on their engagement, such exciting news! I love Liz's 'travel bag' it reminded me of Mary Poppins and her carpet bag filled with all sorts of useful things! I site, I really like the M3 stand and the SB-M1-L large storage box, also the OM1-L and the OM2-L organizer. Another lovely video, thank you for sharing all your makes and future stitching plans!
This was a great video of celebrations Engagement and birthdays. 🎉🎉🎉. I love samplers ❤️ Love seeing all the progress and different projects. The framing piece was too cute. Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️the Potoky m3 is amazing looking
Congrats to McKenna and Conner. I’m so glad I get to sit and listen to you. I look forward to seeing you guys. I’m definitely enjoying sampler September and seeing all of the samplers that people are stitching that I have never seen before.
Enjoy the stories. Thank you for the history lesson on samplers. 😀, I also wondered the history behind it. Can’t stop looking at the Potoky stands behind you. They are so beautiful and keeping fingers crossed that I will be the chosen one for the stand. 😀
It is always a pleasure to sit and stitch with you ladies. I hope you are enjoying all your wins including that lovely French sampler 😀 and congrats on the lovely engagement 👏
I would love to have a Potoky mini stand and the Potoky storage box. This is such a fun video. You two are so knowledgeable!!!! Love your projects! Thank you so much for the lesson on the counting pins.
Congratulations to the happy couple! I’m looking for a cool sampler to work on. I made one years ago for each of my two sons when they were born and I have always loved the antique samplers. As I mentioned before I am just getting back into cross stitch after a 20 year layoff. The craft has changed so much since I stopped. I am so excited for all the new designs you show each week. Thank you! My favorite Potoky product is the mini lap stand.
Thank you for sharing your excitement over McKenna’s engagement. She is truly blessed to have parents thrilled to participate in her fiancé popping the question. Congratulations! I must confess that I impatiently wait for your weekly videos like I look forward to dessert after I eat all my veggies at dinner. 🧁
Congratulations to McKenna! I loved the first kiss story, what a sweet memory for you to share. The finishing idea for Liz's pumpkin & cat was beautiful, what a great idea! Love seeing your Potoky stand in the background, it's just too beautiful not to display. Using a metal frame to add some seasonal bling is genius and I can't imagine the time and intricacy on the scissor fob! Kim
Congratulations on McKenna's engagement! Enjoyed seeing your variety of WIPs, haul and gadget corner counting pins. I see your Potoky stands in the background - the workmanship on those is amazing.
Aw what a lovely story! Happy engagement McKenna, I’m so happy for you! Love the mixed fibers framing idea...eyeballing the gorgeous Potoky minis in the background. Another great episode ladies, thanks so much!
Thank you ladies for another lovely video full of stitchy goodness.I am one of those who has come bAck to stitching after 30 years and yes how things have changed. I would love to stitch a sampler as I am drawn to this style of pattern. I am slowly finding on line places in the UK to purchase things. Congratulations to McKenna and Connor on their engagement, it is lovely to hear of a young man who respects his intended and her parents by requesting her hand in marriage. Stay safe and sane ladies.
Congratulations McKenna! At the moment I would say my favorite POTOKY product is the MINI in the grey or the green color. They are beautiful! I do like the looks of that floor stand also. WOW!
What a fun video - well worth the wait as usual. So much was covered and I had such a nice time watching. Congratulations to the newly engaged couple - what a great time!! Loved seeing all of the works and am now picking out some additional projects and counting pin sets. I've been on the POTOKY website watching the various videos on the stands available. I'm working through a shoulder issue at physical therapy and might have to get a new lap stand. We'll see. If I were to be lucky enough to win the lap stand is what I'm most interested in . Still working my way through the older videos and loving every minute of them. I'm also playing around in the Playlist section and enjoying viewing on topics as well. Thanks for compiling those videos. Hope you both have a great week and weekend - until the next video. Take care.
Thank you for sharing your lives and your creativity. You are good company to have while stitching. I checked out the Potoky site and my favorite is the mini lap stand. I stitch in my recliner, so it would be a wonderful tool to have.
Congratulations on McKenna’s engagement...you two are great a finishing each other’s sentences...thanks for the information...loved your Samplers...best wishes to you both and happy stitching❣️
Just love watching you both! I’m a new subscriber. I starting stitching in the 80s and haven’t stitched since the late 90s. I found you while crocheting a Blanket and looking for something to watch. Needless to say after a few of your videos, I’ve purchased several patterns!! 😊🧵 can’t wait!!
Thank you for your video! Saw the IG Pics and it was wonderful hearing about McKenna and Connor. I wish them a long happy life together! As always just enjoyed my visit with you, just chatting with friends. Great looking at all your WIPS and finishes, and thanks Liz for the informative bits. Yes that metal frame is really cute, and you can stick appropriate needle minders on there. Deb, really liked the fall piece in the wreath. I'm can't believe you are doing your Coming to America piece on 56 ct. Yikes. I usually stick with 28 to 32 count, but I have ventured into 36 and that's what I'm doing mine on. I'm loving the 36, and I think it's my new favorite. That fob is gorgeous, Liz! Take care Ladies and happy stitching!
So very happy for the whole family, Deb. Many prayers of thanksgiving for a wonderful marriage for McKenna & Connor ! My husband and I are blessed with 3 wonderful daughters and LIVED through 3 beautiful weddings. Enjoy every moment.
Hi Ladies, I am happy to see your video again, I am glad to see the Potoky frame that is sitting to the counter in the back of you. Deb I love to see your finishes and Luz I like hearing about the gadgets talk about. I am try to look for the video about the finger thimble. It is a joy watching the both of you,. Chat with later.
Lovely engagement surprise ❤️ Loved the Goliath story 😀 It would be great to have a house tour Deb, and thank you ladies for your fabulous flosstube and your offer of a sampler 😊💕😊💕
Just found you! Love binge watching your videos. Your laugh makes my day! It is so awesome to see such a great friendship. With how the world is today, those friendships are not something that is seen very often. Thank you for the laugh. I love the POTOKY Mini and love how portable it is. I would love to own one. Hugs!
I have not done many samplers, but would love to try. I enjoy watching you ladies. You inspire me. Deb, my advice to you" Enjoy planning the wedding and the day of the wedding, savor every second of the day, it is the fastest but most memorable 24 hours you will ever live. Congratulations to your family.
Always a fun time watching you both. I have used fabric on the bottom of a piece for a pillow and loved how you added the wool to the framed piece. I had never done that before. Another great idea. So glad I saw it.
Thank you for sharing the excitement of McKenna's engagement. How wonderful that you have a lovely wedding to plan with your daughter Deb. Liz I can assure you that you are not the only one who has nodded off while stitching. It was also great to see the Mini Potoky on the screen. I am looking forward to your next joyful Country Stitcher's installment
Love your new Potoky frame. I want the get the Potoky mini for holding my hoop. I think it would work well on my lap which is really what I want to use it for. I love watching you guys and watching the clips of the video of all the work you did to get the gazebo ready just melted my heart. Beautiful couple. Best wishes to them for many happy years together.
I know you are so excited for your daughter, Deb. I look forward to hearing the wedding plans as they evolve. I see my favorite POTOKY lap stand behind you. That green color just calls to me. They are so beautiful and different. Robin C.
Once again, you both have made such an interesting video. Congratulations on the engagement of your daughter! What a lovely way to propose and begin their lives together by involving the families. I am stitching and watching --- not much stitching, a whole lot of watching! I see your Potoky stand in the background. The mini stand like Deb's is my favorite. Your entire craft/stitching room is amazing!
Congratulations to McKenna and Connor! As always, thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. I appreciate them so much. Have a great week and stay safe!
No mention of Potoky, but one in use, and one in the background. I love that mini! So glad you mentioned the counting pins. I just use the ones you can find in the sewing section of Joann’s. They come in handy so many times.
Congratulations on McKenna's engagement!!! It was very special to hear your vivid description, of the big moment! Wishing all the best to the Happy couple!
Enjoy your floss tube and the tips and information you both provide your viewers. I did go to the Potoky site and like all the items offered, such beautiful workmanship and colors offered. I would love to receive the mini hoop stand.
Deb, love the piece you are working on... great to see both of you working on the Potoky! Love all the products. Hope to one day buy the floor stand, but right now the mini table stand are just great!
So much wonderful info and sharing! Thank you. Great progress on your wips. I haven't stitched a sampler in some years now, but I keep looking at the smaller ones available. I love your Potoky mini stand. My favorite item on their website is the floor stand. I do like the mini stand in the green, too. Happy stitching.
An engagement that was picture perfect, congratulations! I love to stitch a good sampler. Deb, you could start a business helping with color changes and when to add backstitching for the “pop”!! Have a great week!
I always enjoy the stitching tips you share. I must rewatch video #77! Another person shared that they do a full cross every 10 stitches to help them count long runs, like borders. Samplers! Those would be wonderful to win. Thanks!
Best wishes to McKenna and Connor. What an exciting time for all of you. Liz, I am putting beads on an old Shepherd’s Bush pattern I left half done for a number of years, but just got out and finished. First time with beads. I love it - and never thought I would. I spent an hour looking at Mill Hill kits today. I think the bug has bitten me thanks to all the pretty beading you do. Still dreaming about that POTOKY mini in your background. Thanks for such a happy video today.
Love your u tube channel. I love looking at your cross stitch samplers. Samplers are so special. You two are so fun to watch.

Congratulations to Makenna and Connor on their engagement, such exciting news! I love Liz's 'travel bag' it reminded me of Mary Poppins and her carpet bag filled with all sorts of useful things! I site, I really like the M3 stand and the SB-M1-L large storage box, also the OM1-L and the OM2-L organizer. Another lovely video, thank you for sharing all your makes and future stitching plans!
This was a great video of celebrations Engagement and birthdays. 🎉🎉🎉. I love samplers ❤️
Love seeing all the progress and different projects. The framing piece was too cute. Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️the Potoky m3 is amazing looking
The Potoky floor stand is amazing beautiful craftsmanship on all products
Congrats to McKenna and Conner. I’m so glad I get to sit and listen to you. I look forward to seeing you guys. I’m definitely enjoying sampler September and seeing all of the samplers that people are stitching that I have never seen before.
Enjoy the stories. Thank you for the history lesson on samplers. 😀, I also wondered the history behind it. Can’t stop looking at the Potoky stands behind you. They are so beautiful and keeping fingers crossed that I will be the chosen one for the stand. 😀
Hello! I Love. Love.love your video, it's just like being there,in person. Thanks so much ❤️
You two are a hoot! Just got back into cross stitching after being away for 25 years.
And I want ALL THE THINGS! TFS - Linda Goodwin
Congratulations, you two have so much positive energy. Love the Loving M5 floor stand, but the table top is really cute.
It is always a pleasure to sit and stitch with you ladies. I hope you are enjoying all your wins including that lovely French sampler 😀 and congrats on the lovely engagement 👏
I would love to have a Potoky mini stand and the Potoky storage box. This is such a fun video. You two are so knowledgeable!!!! Love your projects! Thank you so much for the lesson on the counting pins.
Congratulations to the happy couple! I’m looking for a cool sampler to work on. I made one years ago for each of my two sons when they were born and I have always loved the antique samplers. As I mentioned before I am just getting back into cross stitch after a 20 year layoff. The craft has changed so much since I stopped. I am so excited for all the new designs you show each week. Thank you! My favorite Potoky product is the mini lap stand.
Thank you for sharing your excitement over McKenna’s engagement. She is truly blessed to have parents thrilled to participate in her fiancé popping the question. Congratulations! I must confess that I impatiently wait for your weekly videos like I look forward to dessert after I eat all my veggies at dinner. 🧁
Congratulations on your daughters engagement! How exciting! I love that scarecrow fob also! So blingy! Eye spy 2 Potoky stands!
Congratulations to McKenna! I loved the first kiss story, what a sweet memory for you to share. The finishing idea for Liz's pumpkin & cat was beautiful, what a great idea! Love seeing your Potoky stand in the background, it's just too beautiful not to display. Using a metal frame to add some seasonal bling is genius and I can't imagine the time and intricacy on the scissor fob!

Congratulations on McKenna's engagement! Enjoyed seeing your variety of WIPs, haul and gadget corner counting pins. I see your Potoky stands in the background - the workmanship on those is amazing.
Congratulations to Mckenna and Connor. This was such an enjoyable video. Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful projects. Take care.....Crystal
Aw what a lovely story! Happy engagement McKenna, I’m so happy for you! Love the mixed fibers framing idea...eyeballing the gorgeous Potoky minis in the background. Another great episode ladies, thanks so much!
Thank you ladies for another lovely video full of stitchy goodness.I am one of those who has come bAck to stitching after 30 years and yes how things have changed. I would love to stitch a sampler as I am drawn to this style of pattern. I am slowly finding on line places in the UK to purchase things. Congratulations to McKenna and Connor on their engagement, it is lovely to hear of a young man who respects his intended and her parents by requesting her hand in marriage. Stay safe and sane ladies.
Very happy for McKenna & Connor.... the charts are really cute. The potoky stand are really built well. I like the mini potoky stand
Congratulations McKenna! At the moment I would say my favorite POTOKY product is the MINI in the
grey or the green color. They are beautiful! I do like the looks of that floor stand also. WOW!
Potoky products look amazing. The table stand would be a great addition to my tools. Congrats on the engagement of your daughter. So exciting.
Love each sampler. Congrats on your daughter's engagement. So exciting.
What a fun video - well worth the wait as usual. So much was covered and I had such a nice time watching. Congratulations to the newly engaged couple - what a great time!! Loved seeing all of the works and am now picking out some additional projects and counting pin sets.
I've been on the POTOKY website watching the various videos on the stands available. I'm working through a shoulder issue at physical therapy and might have to get a new lap stand. We'll see. If I were to be lucky enough to win the lap stand is what I'm most interested in .
Still working my way through the older videos and loving every minute of them. I'm also playing around in the Playlist section and enjoying viewing on topics as well. Thanks for compiling those videos.
Hope you both have a great week and weekend - until the next video. Take care.
Thank you for sharing your lives and your creativity. You are good company to have while stitching. I checked out the Potoky site and my favorite is the mini lap stand. I stitch in my recliner, so it would be a wonderful tool to have.
I enjoy all your videos. They are my go to during my 2am awake session. I love how the qsnap fits in the Potoky frame. Keep up the great work ladies.
Happy news! Congratulations to the entire family. Its fun to see your Potoky stand in use. My favorite is probably the accessory box.
Such amazing projects!! The Potoky items are lovely. I really like the soft creamy color on the Potoky box.
Congratulations on McKenna’s engagement...you two are great a finishing each other’s sentences...thanks for the information...loved your Samplers...best wishes to you both and happy stitching❣️
Just love watching you both!
I’m a new subscriber. I starting stitching in the 80s and haven’t stitched since the late 90s. I found you while crocheting a Blanket and looking for something to watch. Needless to say after a few of your videos, I’ve purchased several patterns!! 😊🧵 can’t wait!!
Congratulations! Blessings to them!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! Happy stitching! xxx
Thank you for your video! Saw the IG Pics and it was wonderful hearing about McKenna and Connor. I wish them a long happy life together! As always just enjoyed my visit with you, just chatting with friends. Great looking at all your WIPS and finishes, and thanks Liz for the informative bits. Yes that metal frame is really cute, and you can stick appropriate needle minders on there. Deb, really liked the fall piece in the wreath. I'm can't believe you are doing your Coming to America piece on 56 ct. Yikes. I usually stick with 28 to 32 count, but I have ventured into 36 and that's what I'm doing mine on. I'm loving the 36, and I think it's my new favorite. That fob is gorgeous, Liz! Take care Ladies and happy stitching!
So very happy for the whole family, Deb. Many prayers of thanksgiving for a wonderful marriage for McKenna & Connor ! My husband and I are blessed with 3 wonderful daughters and LIVED through 3 beautiful weddings. Enjoy every moment.
So much excitement on this video!
You both have beautiful stitching and such good ideas.

Hi Ladies, I am happy to see your video again, I am glad to see the Potoky frame that is sitting to the counter in the back of you. Deb I love to see your finishes and Luz I like hearing about the gadgets talk about. I am try to look for the video about the finger thimble. It is a joy watching the both of you,. Chat with later.
Always enjoy your videos. I love the potoky lap stand. It looks very comfortable to stitch with. Congratulations to McKenna.
Lovely engagement surprise ❤️ Loved the Goliath story 😀 It would be great to have a house tour Deb, and thank you ladies for your fabulous flosstube and your offer of a sampler 😊💕😊💕
Just found you! Love binge watching your videos. Your laugh makes my day! It is so awesome to see such a great friendship. With how the world is today, those friendships are not something that is seen very often. Thank you for the laugh. I love the POTOKY Mini and love how portable it is. I would love to own one. Hugs!
I have not done many samplers, but would love to try. I enjoy watching you ladies. You inspire me. Deb, my advice to you" Enjoy planning the wedding and the day of the wedding, savor every second of the day, it is the fastest but most memorable 24 hours you will ever live. Congratulations to your family.
Always a fun time watching you both. I have used fabric on the bottom of a piece for a pillow and loved how you added the wool to the framed piece. I had never done that before. Another great idea. So glad I saw it.
Thank you for sharing the excitement of McKenna's engagement. How wonderful that you have a lovely wedding to plan with your daughter Deb. Liz I can assure you that you are not the only one who has nodded off while stitching. It was also great to see the Mini Potoky on the screen. I am looking forward to your next joyful Country Stitcher's installment
Yes I would love a sampler, just bought my first one and going to stitch it with a couple of stitchy friends. Happy Stitching
Love your new Potoky frame. I want the get the Potoky mini for holding my hoop. I think it would work well on my lap which is really what I want to use it for. I love watching you guys and watching the clips of the video of all the work you did to get the gazebo ready just melted my heart. Beautiful couple. Best wishes to them for many happy years together.
I just began cross stitching in March (Covid!) and only recently found your channel. I just love watching you two and I’ve learned so much! Thank you!
I know you are so excited for your daughter, Deb. I look forward to hearing the wedding plans as they evolve. I see my favorite POTOKY lap stand behind you. That green color just calls to me. They are so beautiful and different. Robin C.
Congratulations! Awesome and be. I love how it all came together and the 8th grade story just was the cherry on top. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely news about The engagement . You look so excited , what a story!!
Love the Potoky mini stand and the Potoky box can’t wait for the reveal
Once again, you both have made such an interesting video. Congratulations on the engagement of your daughter! What a lovely way to propose and begin their lives together by involving the families. I am stitching and watching --- not much stitching, a whole lot of watching! I see your Potoky stand in the background. The mini stand like Deb's is my favorite. Your entire craft/stitching room is amazing!
Lovely to hear the news about Deb’s daughter - how exciting. My favourite Potoky is the mini stand.
Congratulations to McKenna and Connor! As always, thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. I appreciate them so much. Have a great week and stay safe!
No mention of Potoky, but one in use, and one in the background. I love that mini! So glad you mentioned the counting pins. I just use the ones you can find in the sewing section of Joann’s. They come in handy so many times.
I would like to win the sampler patterns. You are both so much fun to watch. You are both a wealth of enjoyment.
Love the engagement story and pics I saw! Dreaming of the Potoky mini frame in any color!
Congratulations on McKenna's engagement!!! It was very special to hear your vivid description, of the big moment! Wishing all the best to the Happy couple!
Waiting for my Potoky... it's a present to myself!!! I love your channel, you are both always so positive, helpful & wonderful to stitch to!
Enjoy your floss tube and the tips and information you both provide your viewers. I did go to the Potoky site and like all the items offered, such beautiful workmanship and colors offered. I would love to receive the mini hoop stand.
Congratulations to your daughter on her engagement and for her 21st birthday. I love the sampler
Deb, love the piece you are working on... great to see both of you working on the Potoky! Love all the products. Hope to one day buy the floor stand, but right now the mini table stand are just great!
So much wonderful info and sharing! Thank you. Great progress on your wips. I haven't stitched a sampler in some years now, but I keep looking at the smaller ones available. I love your Potoky mini stand. My favorite item on their website is the floor stand. I do like the mini stand in the green, too. Happy stitching.
An engagement that was picture perfect, congratulations! I love to stitch a good sampler. Deb, you could start a business helping with color changes and when to add backstitching for the “pop”!! Have a great week!
Yay! Congratulations to the precious couple and families.
Those Potoky stands are gorgeous! My personal favorite is the mini desktop hoop stand.
Congratulations to your daughter! 💕 I would love to stitch the little samplers!
I always enjoy the stitching tips you share. I must rewatch video #77! Another person shared that they do a full cross every 10 stitches to help them count long runs, like borders.
Samplers! Those would be wonderful to win. Thanks!
Best wishes to McKenna and Connor. What an exciting time for all of you. Liz, I am putting beads on an old Shepherd’s Bush pattern I left half done for a number of years, but just got out and finished. First time with beads. I love it - and never thought I would. I spent an hour looking at Mill Hill kits today. I think the bug has bitten me thanks to all the pretty beading you do. Still dreaming about that POTOKY mini in your background. Thanks for such a happy video today.
