as always-incredible stitching! I was hoping that I could find the cicada pattern, it's stunning! Can't wait-hopefully it'll be released and I can purchase it eventually! :) I was working on catching up on my postcrossing and decided to catch up on floss tube! I know you'll appreciate that comment! :) As for you rant, I've already expressed my thunks on it all and I totally agree. This past weekend, I had the pleasure of meeting one of the artists that is no longer with HAED. I won't kiss and tell, but I will say that the artist community is deeply saddened by the turn that has been taken by HAED and that unfortunately for us stitchers, we're going to be seeing a lot more of them 'just ship' because of AI and the bs that is going along with it. I purchased from another full coverage company last week-INCREDIBLE service-above and beyond what I could have imagined. And honestly, my purchases with HAED will probably be dwindling down to none as I now know where several of the artists that we all love have went to and why they have decided to do so. Thank you again for an awesome video! Have a wondermus day! Sharlene in Colorado
I love your rant Mandy, on the A.I. situation. I totally agree with you and was glad to see you say something:) Also, I love the cicada finish..its the mascot for the summer of 2024. Hello to darling Stitches❤😺
There have been many times over the years that I have questioned business decisions. I wish I had taken a screenshot and saved it, but back in the day when they were on the Yahoo boards, I suggested Ciro Marchetti when they were asking for artist recommendations. I was told essentially no, that his style didn’t fit them and they weren’t interested.
Great variety of projects this video! I love the cicada and the fabric for Apothecary is just perfect!
Love your birthday start--Courage will look great on the "April Showers" fabric. Happy Birthday!

Love the rant! I really try to avoid AI artwork but I am finding it impossible to find FC designers that don’t have any in their shop. It’s not enough to see if there is an artist-you need to check that the artwork itself has a ©️. The only project I have ufo’ed on the past few years is one that I fell for because it looked like there was an artist. When I searched artist and found the artwork separate from the xstich company, I saw they stated it was ai. So the video is almost done and still no Stitches!😂 This cat lady needs her fix. -Debbie 🦉🐊
I fuel my rants with Dr Pepper also. Patricia
That blue fabric for Courage is gorgeous😮. I hate what HAED is doing. It’s just going to get worse.
Patreon for HAED is hilarious! Hard pass…
Love your fabric choices. Especially on apothecary 😍
Have a great couple stitchy weeks!
Her colours are pink and pink.
Patreon for HAED? Pay to have access to patterns to again pay for… how does that even make sense?!
