Hi Dena I always love your WIP's and finishes they are always beautiful and stunning. I love your ABCingo starts that you will be doing and I will on your birthday do a new start. It may be Joan Elliot or Croix de Petite. Don't know what pattern it will be but I will let you know. I will look into watching Stitches and Coffee with Jurgita. I actually today went back to an old WIP the Heidelberg castle I showed you a while back and started the backstitching. All the cross stitching is done so it is backstitching and the lettering. My goal is to complete before Christmas and have it framed for my hubby (keeping my fingers crossed). Cocoa was really enjoying her toy. Love it!!! Oh by the way I finished and watch all of Lori's videos (Once upon a stitch and have enjoyed all of them). I did feel for her about losing Libby her grand daughter. I too lost a grand son and felt the pain but they are in heaven and the lord is looking out for them. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Your friend always Pat
Pat, so glad you enjoyed Lori's videos. She is such a kind lady and I am so grateful to have met her. I am so sorry to learn you have lost a grandchild as well. That is not something anyone ever expects to experience. I pray God always gives you peace about it and agree with you that now these precious souls are in His presence. I will keep my fingers crossed for you on the Heidelberg castle in hopes that you finish it for your hubby for Christmas. I know you can do it! Dena
Thank you Loretta for the blessings! So happy you enjoyed the planning and all the things I shared. Happy Stitching to you this month of September. Dena
Dena - I love seeing your progress each time you work on Nativity. It's looking so good! I can't wait to see all of your ABCingo projects during September, especially the new starts. It looks like Cocoa loves her new toy. Happy stitching! - TaMara
TaMara, so happy you are enjoying Nativity. I am enjoying it so much more now. ABCingo has started off with a BANG! The first day was a new start that I started and finished, so that was exciting for me. Hope you are doing well. Dena
I just kitted mine up for a weekend retreat with girlfriends. We are planning three new starts each (one each day) at the retreat. So that may be one of mine. Dena
Awesome plans can't wait to see how it goes. Maybe next year I can join in the Magazine monthly challenges again. Been a tough year. Happy stitching Patty
Patty, I hope next year is a smoother, kinder year for you. In the meantime, I pray that you will find peace and joy in your daughters, friends and stitching. Wishing you a wonderful month of September. Dena
Karla, so happy you are thinking you may work on your birthday start from last year to help me celebrate. Keep me posted on your plans as you finalize them. Dena
Sena Nativity is so beautiful. those colors are magic together. Your projects are always so beautiful. You have so much fun stitching with your friends. Cocoa loved her new toy for sure. She is so cute. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching.
Hi Dena. I want to tell you how much I still love your videos and getting to see Cocoa. Thank you for taking your time to share. Please take care and stay safe. I don't know if it is true or not, but I heard where there is a lot of very contagious sickness spreading in Georgia. I just pray God takes it away and heals all who are unwell.
Crystal, there seems to be a resurgence of COVID here, but I think it is everywhere really. Thank you for your prayers for safety and well being. You take care as well. Happy Stitching. Dena
Hello Dena so good to see your progress on the WIPS. Congratulations on finishing all your games. Love the green pears shall you stitch all 3. Summer by the sea is very beautiful. You have lovely pieces to work on in September. I shall be working on 2 samplers during September and hope to see progress as they are both big girls. Happy stitching
Thanks so much for checking out my ABCingo line up! I plan on doing all 3 pears, but probably not in September with the change every day. But they will be on my radar to complete. Dena
Hi Dena, Great video as usual. 😊 I anlways enjoy seeing your beautiful stitching progress. And thank you for sharing your ABCingo plans. This will be my first time doing ABCingo and I’m very much looking forward to participating, and hopefully keeping up! Enjoy you week and happy stitching.
Ellen, we start ABCingo in the morning! YAY! I have participated every year and love it! Hope you enjoy it too. Remember, you can always catch up if you get behind. There are five days at the end of the month from the 25th to the 30th that you can use to make up any calls you missed. Dena
MaryJo, getting ready to head out to Stitching in the Wild in about 10 days! My friend Donna and I did some shopping today to finalize some gifts and such. So much fun! Dena
Thank you Dena for sharing your plans and stitching. It’s always delightful to see your progress. ❤ So, did Cocoa defeat the squirrel? 😂 Happy stitching.
Oh my yes, Cocoa defeated the squirrel before bedtime. She finds the seam and uses her teeth to cut the threads like a seam ripper! NO JOKE! She had it opened and the stuffing out of it within a few hours. LOL. She enjoyed it though. Dena
I am stitching primrose cottage stitches autumn quaker. They have a live every week at 9 am I think but I have to watch when I come home after work. I like all their cross-stitches.
Hi Dena, you fit in so much in your day , it amazing. Great progress all round. On Shakespeare fairies what color fabric and count are you using. Take care ❤
Yvonne, the fabric is Pickled from Picture this Plus and it is 32 count lugana (evenweave). So glad you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful month in September! Dena
I love watching your Flosstube!! I met you at GaRon grand opening and met up again at Silver Needle this past July…was great seeing you again! Which weekend Stitching In The Wild are you going to? I am going to weekend 2
Kathyn, the patter is easy to follow and it is a good bit of block stitching in a Hawk Run. However, each block is 94 X 94 and some of them are full coverage, so it is dense stitching, but it is not difficult. Dena
Hello!!!!!!what weekend are you attending Stitching in the Wild? I will be at weekend A!!! Please tell me we are actually going to meet in person. Finally!!!!

How awesome that you get to see them after work and can follow along with what they are up to as you are stitching their designs. Sounds fun! Dena

I will miss seeing you this year as I am going to weekend 1 at Stitching in the Wild. SO sorry, but I know you will have a wonderful time. Dena
I hope you get the square done. I haven't done any hawk run hallows but they seem popular. Is it an easy pattern?
Kathyn, the patter is easy to follow and it is a good bit of block stitching in a Hawk Run. However, each block is 94 X 94 and some of them are full coverage, so it is dense stitching, but it is not difficult. Dena

Sheila, we are going to meet in person! I am attending Weekend A for Stitching in the Wild! Can't wait to meet you! Dena
