    I would love stitching and learning new stitches from the Mrs. Parkman's Academy of Needlework. I recently took an EGA correspondence course to learn reversible stitches. We had to design our own sampler using required stitches. What a great course for learning new stitches. I certainly would sign up for this class and stitch-along.

    Thank you Nicola for another great video! I would love the workshop. I tend to shy away from anything besides cross stitch over 2 but that then I lose out on so many beautiful projects. I appreciate your encouragement and enthusiasm! ❤

    What a treat this video has been. The sign of a great teacher is that she has mastered the skills she is teaching AND she wants to share all that she knows with others…a rare jewel. The statement that “it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in anything” is personified in you. Thank you for sharing!😊

    As always a very informative and pleasant to listen to video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of needlework with all of us. Sad to say that I have kitted many of the HATS samplers, but have not been able to start stitching. Hopefully when I retire (sooner rather than later), I will be able to enjoy stitching them.

    Nicola!! What a fabulous video. Your red sampler walls are OO-LA-LA!! I would love to do the sampler with videos. I am always happy to learn new stitches. Just when I think I've heard of all the stitches to learn, up pops another one. I love teaching myself, but it's always great to get that extra help from you and your videos. The Victoria Sampler alphabet piece is absolutely amazing. What a masterpiece. I have several of her charts. The wedding ring pillow top I did was from one of her designs. I can hardly wait for Queen of the May 2024 to be available. I have every one for each year since you started. Have the best time ever in Cincinnati!!

    Thank you Nicola for your video. I would love to join you on a stitch journey. I have been very busy on a needlework course learning many new skills with not a cross stitch in sight and surprisingly to me I have missed it. Safe travels and I hope your back improves quickly so you can enjoy your trip pain free.

    Just caught up with your video today, and interestingly, I was having a good look at my Mary Stead sampler this morning (whilst dusting!) and wondering why I had left such a wide border. Then I remembered that when getting it framed, it didn’t look right with the frame too close because the sampler is not entirely symmetrical, so a wider border evened out the imbalance - and she’s a sweet sampler; the first Little Gem I stitched during Covid. Our samplers do bring back memories - so sometimes it takes me a long time to dust! 😆.
    Btw, Sew and So was taken over by the online suppliers LoveCrafts.
    Enjoy your trip to Cincinnati. Looking forward to the video.

    It would be great to have some online stitch techniques. I would happily participate. I loved the huge Victoria Sampler piece you did. For anyone who is interested the PDFs are available on their website. For all 24 charts the cost is about $265 (USD). I decided I don't have enough lifetime left to stitch them all, but I did get my 3 initials for $35 (JLS). Thanks for showing it.

    What a treat to do a little needlework exercise in reversible. That’s a technique I would very much like to accomplish. Your comment about learning new stitches is well taken. I find that learning a new stitch or technique always helps me in my other projects as does changing up my materials from cotton to wool to silk. Never stop learning!

  • @monikamcmanamy1174
    @monikamcmanamy1174 6 місяців тому

    I very much enjoyed this video dear Nicola. I would love to learn more specialty stitches. I often look at diagrams of new stitches and can follow along, but sometimes I think it would be much more helpful to actually see someone step by step showing me the way. I am a hands on kinda girl.
    I would love to see this being done with the one over one stitch. I can do them for a simple alphabet, but when it comes to stitching a solid block of over one, it looks horrible. Thank you for your time and your encouragement. Have a safe trip back to the US and I hope your back will feel better soon ❤

    Great video. I see the issue with the wonderful alphabet project. I checked the site and the patterns are sold individually, each over US $10. That would be over US $260 for all of them! I wanted to add that I would be interested in doing the multi embroidery stitch project in an online group. Will that be handled by the Mrs Parkman's Academy channel or at the Hands channel?

    Oh I loved what you have said and shared in this video. It made me realize that when I cross stitch I do my work without an awareness of my process. It has become second nature almost and although I plan my route so to speak I never think of my plan, if that makes sense. I e been do n this road so many times I can drive it without thinking about right turns and left turns. Thought provoking. The charm of your large alphabet piece is not just in all of the various stitches and the letter that they start with, but that you did them as one piece. Love it! Your adopted orphan sampler is beautiful! I dreamed of it as a smaller sampler with the crocheted border done in cross stitch or perhaps satin, in the colors she crocheted it. Thank you for the sit this morning!
