I too would like to see how you start and stop your threads. Love to see Smokey with you. I too am a cat lover. Today I am away from my stitching, but when I get home, because of your incentive I’m going to stitch right after I start my washing machine!! You give me such incentive to keep my stitching going. I’ve been stitching for about 50+ years off and on. I did a piece for a girlfriend of mine and believe it or not she still has it hanging in her bathroom, probably for at least the last 30+ years! Never realized how my stitching impacted someone. Look forward to each and everyone of your videos. Happy stitching.
Sarah I always love seeing the progress on your cross stitching it is beautiful. I like how you are doing your advent animals on cards. I never seen it done that way and I really like that idea. I just sent you a picture of my cross stitch to your email address. Hope you like it!! Love seeing Smokey!!! In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat
Your advent animals look awesome! I’m really enjoying watching your progress on Beartime Stories. That’s a great idea to color complete the color with the most stitches because you can really see the outline of the bear. I’m tempted to join you in February on the Jardin Privé spring piece…
I just love the variety of your projects and your enthusiasm, Sarah! Thanks so much. (Watching your videos a bit late because of having been out of the country for a couple of weeks.)
I really like how your advent animals are turning out. I think your family is really going to enjoy being able to "flip that card" everyday! Always love hearing your plans and seeing what you've been working on!
Amazing progress on E fairy. Good idea to move the finished advents out of the travel bag. I got a few finishes and have started scratching the new start itch. I've decided to hold 1 in reserve for the new years new start. And of course, the new projects always seem to keep using the same floss as every project already in progress. I really need to pull the full coverage back out, but I just keep not. May you have a needle made out of lightning so you can get all your stitches in.
So many lovely things to inspire. Was trying to work out what FQS sal you were talking about in your last video. It’s going to be so pretty. As you know I’ve bought the cat version if they Jardin Prive design. February is a looong way of. Sigh. Have a great week.
Apparently Friday the 13th happens to fall in October to make it the spookiest day of the year for new starts. Says the person that is doing WIPGO. She is kicking off a HaED Sal but most of us are just starting our own pieces on that day.
Yes! I've been kind of tempted to start a Halloween piece I picked up at retreat this spring, but I think my goals for this month will win and I'll just start that next year. :)
Hi Sarah! Beautiful stitching! It was great seeing Shelley at So Cal Stitchers retreat this past weekend. Wish you could have been there. Have a great stitchy week! ❤
For some reason I'm really surprised that you've never stitched 1x2. You have so many projects that it seems like you've tried everything! Just goes to show just how many different ways stitching can happen.
I know, right?! I’ve stitched 1 over 2 on 46 count, but never actually the classic 40 count. And I haven’t used 36 or 56 count at all yet - although I have some and hope to start projects with them eventually. Lots of fun ways to get creative and try new things!
Hi Sarah! I'm so impressed that you stitch by color completion. I would be so afraid I'd be off by 1/2 a Stitch if it's not aida. A counting error would be something I don't know I could fix. Does that scare you at all? Happy October stitching! Lori
I tend to be a pretty accurate counter, so I am always double checking myself as I count - especially when color completing. Some things I find I do need to stay closer because the fabric isn't helpful - my Stargazer for example is harder to see being very dark fabric and it's a tight weave because of being dyed. So I won't stray very far with that one - I do believe I would get 1/2 stitch off pretty easily on that one! But other projects are either over 1 already, so that makes it easier to count, or the fabric is easier to see, so it's not as tricky to count and double check everything. :)
If the tube is clear, I don't have a label - I can just see through the tube and remember what project is on that fabric. If the tube is cardboard or cardstock (especially if the fabric is not sticking out the end), I will just write the name of the project on the end of the tube.
Right now, I have all the cover pages for the patterns I have in Pattern Keeper in a plastic folder that has a center section to secure them brads through 3 hole punches. In order to add a new page, I do have to undo the brad and take the pages out, put the new one in and put them back on the brads. So, a small 1/2 inch or 1 inch binder could also be a good alternative if you think you'll be changing out the pages more often.

Put a clear plastic hole protector on the back of the holes in your little cards to keep them from becoming damaged. They are really pretty.

Hi Sarah. Thanks for filming 😊. Your advent is great! I look forward to seeing your Shine On variation. ⚘️

Garden Prelude, Tea and Books & Smokey look lovely 🤗
Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

I'm glad you had a nice time at the retreat! I wish it was closer to me, so it could be easier to work into the schedule. :)
So excited for your new start
Hi Sarah
Love all of your WIPS - Making great progress on them.
Take Care & Happy Stitching

Smokey was very entertaining in this video
I love the fabric you chose for the new SAL and the Jardin Prive piece. Your temperature Quaker is so pretty. Loved seeing Smokey.

@@StitchinMommy 40ct is the highest I've gone so far. One day I'll try something higher!! Tiny stitches are just adorable.

I would like to see how you start and stop your threads as your backs are so neat and mind are horrible.
Love all your wips always fun watching you Happy Stitching
Happy Stitching ❤!!!

Just curious how you label your tubes for your projects?
If the tube is clear, I don't have a label - I can just see through the tube and remember what project is on that fabric. If the tube is cardboard or cardstock (especially if the fabric is not sticking out the end), I will just write the name of the project on the end of the tube.
Thanks for sharing...take care

Are the Aurifloss on wooden spools? That is fantastic if they are!
Yes, they are wooden spools! 🧵
What kind of binder do you use for your charts.
Right now, I have all the cover pages for the patterns I have in Pattern Keeper in a plastic folder that has a center section to secure them brads through 3 hole punches. In order to add a new page, I do have to undo the brad and take the pages out, put the new one in and put them back on the brads.
