I'm sure I missed something but I've done my best! Contact with specific questions. 😊 Happy stitching!
Everything about this was wonderful, Audrey. Love, love, love your little strawberries and the gorgeous needle book. Thank you for sharing. Take care, my friend.
Thank you! I do love the strawberries and look forward to having many, many more on display one day. Much love to you, dear! 🥰
What a fabulous video! Congrats on Maria! And the finished pillows were so beautiful... each one more precious than the last!
But the strawberries and the needlebook were divine! 🍓And your WIPs... total swoon! I am so inspired... thank you!
Thank you! I'm so glad you saw some things you like! Let me know if we are stitching anything in common! 🥰
Hi Audrey, enjoy you very much. Great stitching and your Christmas finishes are on point. Your one of my favorites take care❤
Thank you so much! Very much looking forward to being able to display my new FFOs. Thanks so much for watching! Happy stitching! 😊
I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for doing them.🍓
Thank you for the kind words, Sarah! I have been having fun with them. Hopefully won't be too long before I make another. All the best ❤️
Fabulous Flosstube Audrey as always, love everything! I have my strawberry kit ready to start, hope mine turn out as beautiful as yours. Thanks so much for sharing ❤😊
Wonderful, Sue! Happy stitching! 🥰
Love your velvet strawberries!
Oh Audrey- Stop! - I've had to go and order the strawberry kit all the way from USA - think they must be getting shipped on cotton wool in a gold casket - lol!!! Love Maria - Love your Christmas pillows - the ice skaters look like French General Noel which I have here and love a lot! - LOVE your strawberry and ribbon needlebook - clever girl you are on fire! PS. Thanks a million for mentioning my channel - I am so grateful for your kindness :)
Ugh, I am sorry about the shipping costs but I know you'll love those strawberries! You'll just have to come back over here one day with an empty suitcase and do a lot of shopping 😉 And always happy to mention your channel. LOVE your videos! P.S. Showed Rupert your Porsche (he's a car lover) and now he's an even bigger fan 😂 Talk soon 😊
@@StitchStitchBead haha!! Love it all so much :)
Donder is the reindeer’s name in the Night Before Christmas poem by Clement Moore.
I always look twice when I see your name. My maiden name was Myres, a very unique spelling and not many, if any, other families with the same last name.
I so enjoy your floss tube, love all your projects.
That's very interesting about your name! Mine is an odd one. My husband asked me a few times if I didn't just want to keep my maiden name when we married because his is so strange lol. Thanks so much for watching and happy stitching to you! 😊
OH MY GOSH! 💕💕💕
So many pretty things! I had to stop watching and go check out Mary Jo Hiney’s strawberries and then I had to look at the embroidery kits and then I came back to your video to see that you had actually finished one of the kits! I’ve never worked with ribbon, so maybe the strawberries are the better choice? I love all your stitching!
Thank you! I do think for me, never having done ribbon embroidery or strawberry making, the strawberries were easier or at least they felt easier. And you get supplies for five berries in each kit so there's the idea that if it goes horribly wrong you've got four more tries 😅 I would recommend them, though, as Mary Jo's instructions are very clear. Let me know if you try them! Happy stitching and thanks so much for watching! 😊
Congratulations on your beautiful sampler finish! She’s stunning! And I agree with you, the floss colors are so much more vibrant than the chart cover. Just beautiful. I love your needle book, too. It turned out really pretty.
Gretchen has lots of those silk ribbons in her store that always tempt me but the last thing I need is another hobby! 😅
And you’re right, I’m nowhere near St. Louis. I’m way on the opposite side of the state. The better side. lol 😂
Lol I thought for sure I was going to get an angry message from some St Louis resident so thank you for the laugh! Made me feel better. And if I ever get to your side of the state I will definitely pop into Florilegium for several hours of shopping. Thanks for watching! 🥰
@@StitchStitchBeadand if you come here, you’d better let me know so we can shop together! ❤
@ComfortStitchingJackie Absolutely! 😁😁😁
Hi Audrey, fabulous finishes but big congratulations on Maria she is a stunner as for the Lords Prayer I’m Lutheran that is what I was taught…🤗❣️LaNelle …was interrupted before I could finish..strawberries are totally delicious so adorable can’t wait to see Halloween so fun …love seeing WIP’S & all your plans nice variety, so inspiring ❣️ Audrey length of video wasn’t an issue you had fantastic content worthy of time well spent …hugs my friend🤗♥️
Hi, LaNelle! Yeah, it's just a few of the words are slightly different in the Lord's Prayer on Maria's sampler than what I remembered but it made for an interesting stitch. I'm so excited to send her off to the framer soon. Thanks as always for watching and commenting! Halloween content coming your way in just a few weeks! 😉 Hugs! 🥰
You did a great job on your needle book and strawberries. Looks professional. Thanks for another enjoyable episode. I'll be making Halloween berries with you. 🍓♥️
Yay for Halloween berries! I bet they'll be fabulous. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🥰
The mystery animal in Maria's sampler may be a greyhound. Larger than a whippet, but traditionally bred for coursing deer - which would make it a logical companion to the stag. Could also be a deerhound. Even larger, but with a shaggy coat.
That makes sense! Whatever he is, I love him. Definitely not a goat 😂 Thanks for watching and for the comment! 😊
If you ever come to the Kansas Speedway Floriligium is just a hop, skip and a jump.
I might have to make the trip sometime! 😊
TLDR. Donder comes from the poem, not the song.
Reindeer name is originally Dunder in the Clement C Moore "A visit from St Nicholas" in 1823 (apparently Dunder and Blixen was a mild form of swearing - equivalent to Gosh and Darn); but was changed (several times) and by the 1860s he'd settled on Donder (Dutch for thunder) pairing with Blitzen (lightning)
Donner comes much later - when Rudolf the red nosed Reindeer was written - mid 20th century. I guess the songwriter liked the fewer consonants or knew the (modern) German Donner - and thought the original was a mistake.
Of course the song has embedded itself in our popular 21st century consciousness, much more than the 19th century poem.
Thank you for commenting, this was very interesting! I knew Blitzen meant lightning; it never occurred to me that one of the other reindeer would be named after thunder. So strange that there should simultaneously be one with a Dutch name and one with a German name but there you go. Thanks again! Today I learned! 😊
@@StitchStitchBead I read it was originally "Blixem"
Hi Audrey! More
Comments to come but needed to give you a heads up on Nettle … I’m stitching her now.. SO CUTE! But the eyes on nettle herself are charted in wrong color… so reference the eyes on the mask . Thats correct! If you do it as charted they blend into the rest of the bunny…. Ok back to watching !! :-)
Thank you for the tip about Nettle because she is definitely the Cracker I will stitch next! Much love! 🥰
Sorry forgot to mention, not sure if anyone knows but Mary Jo Hiney has a utube video on how to make those strawberries which I know I will definitely use whilst I’m stitching them 🤞🏻😊
Yes, I should have mentioned that! She has great videos 😊
Hi Audrey, I am hoping you can recommend a smallish HATS chart for an Aida stitcher with not too many colors so I could try 100.3s for the first time? I have Martha Walmsley (using DMC) because I simply love everything about her, especially the pinks and greens, but I won't have her done anytime soon and would really love a sweet little HATS sampler to encourage me to push on with Martha. I would be so grateful for your time and suggestions. Thank you so much!
I would love to help! The three that come to mind are Alice Tippet (one of my current WIPs), Ann Rathmell (which I have in my stash, beautiful colors), and Annie Morris, an adorable little sampler. All of those have interesting color schemes and can be stitched on linen or Aida. If you decide you’d rather try a monochromatic sampler I would recommend Ruth Gibb because she has a lot of impact with very few stitches compared to some other designs. Hope this helps! Happy stitching! ❤️
I'm wondering if Jenny's sampler alphabet is in 'learning to write' order. When teaching letters, it's often easiest for young children to learn to print letters with only horizontal and vertical strokes, then curves, then diagonals.
That's an interesting theory! Whatever her reason, it gives the little sampler some interest. Thanks for watching! Happy stitching! 😊
