Beautiful! The chair with flowers got me. I just had to comment. It's so beautiful, simple, and I love the detail. I could picture it hanging in the entrance way of my home.
I loved the rest of your collection too! Thank you for sharing.
@@ammiller3911 Thank you! I just love that one, too 🩷
What a wonderful collection! I love your Flosstubes and Felttubes, especially your kit stash videos. I always have a pen and paper next to me to go hunt new ones down!
As i was watching, I was thinking of my own collection and thinking "Surely my numbers aren't the same....." But i went and counted and they are! 😂😂😂
But such wonderful artwork to collect!
@@gretchenburns5946 thank you!! Sounds like you should make a video so I can see your collection 😁
Beautiful collection! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Loved seeing your Dimension kits. I agree with you. I have some kits that I do not envision stitching but I love looking at them.
Christine, I would love to sit down with you and a cup of coffee and go through these. They're wonderful and so interesting. Also, my dream job would be kitting up projects and sorting floss! Perfect! ❤
That sounds wonderful!!
Wow, Christine, you have an amazing collection. I want to stitch them all. I look forward to seeing what you stitch this coming year. ❤❤
LOL re-watch and 12 items added to my wishlist. THAAAANKS!
🤣🤣🤣
Wow everything is fabulous 🧵🪡👋Hello from TeXaS
Don’t be jealous of the spreadsheet 😂. I love your collection, you have SO MANY I have never seen. ❤
Loved this! It was so enabling, I saw some I haven’t seen before and already bought 2! 🙈 It was great to watch while soothing my newborn 👶 😊
Yay!!! I just watched your latest video yesterday! I'm curious which ones you bought :)
@@calico_whimsy flowers on chair - not my usual style but it just caught my eye. And Silent Flight which I’ve seen a lot but I saw it in a new way this time 😊🦅
@@stitchingmoon wonderful choices!!! 🥰
Your collection is amazing! There are some pieces I have never seen before. I also love how they are able to create beautiful scenes and animal representation on fabric. Happy stitching!
I just love the dimensions kits! Thanks for taking all the time to showcase them!
Amazing collection, thank you for taking the time to share it with us. ❤
I love Dimensions kits and was so excited when I found your videos and Luda? I think. They are so beautiful stitched. Thank you.
I really really enjoyed this video!
❤️❤️ Thank you!
14:49 I’m going to be starting that one next year!!
So kind of you to share your collection! Some I've seen, many were new to me. You helped me decide on buying The Holiday Village kit.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful collection! I have never stitched a Dimensions kit but loved looking at them! Maybe someday 😊
Immediately inspired to go browsing for Dimensions and related kits! So many amazing pieces in your collection - thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for posting your Dimensions Kits Collection. It is so true that collecting and stitching kits are two different hobbies :)
I enjoyed this so much! I realized how much I miss the 90's.
Loved this flosstube. Congratulations
You need to start stitching! I have quite a few old kits and am now trying to get them done . I did the Old Teddy one this past summer. I also have that ScenicFarms one. Last year I did Maggy The Mess Maker, check it out, it is really fun. Some of my kits go all the way back to Erica Wilson (crewel), My eyes can only do 14 count now. I did the Angel Of Hope that my daughter had started 25 years ago and didn't have time to finish and the small size drove me crazy.
Thank you or showing all of your beautiful kits! Now I want to go stash shopping!!🤣
This is lovely! I watched with my Dimensions loving Momma. You need to be sponsored at this point 😂
This is such a lovely collection - I enjoyed watching you go through all of the kits ♥
So many choices. They are all beautifull. 🌻🌻
Holy poop! 😅You should do start a week for 2024 😋
🤣Don't temp me! No, I'm going to focus on wips next year 👍
@@calico_whimsy Ah, but where's the fun in that!? 😜 I defo need to work on wips too
@@StitchingJoanne Right!?! Honestly though, it's been so long since I worked on most of my wips, they actually feel like new starts!
I enjoyed every minute of this! I will also have a bird wall some day!
Wow, love your kit collection, Thank you for sharing :)
I loved this video so much. You have a lot of wonderful kits but so far my most favorite is the Snowy Owl & then the Rose Stems is 2nd. I love birds too. The Berry Wreath Welcome is so beautiful. You don't see to many wreaths in counted cross stitch. You inspire me to go and look for my counted cross stitch ones that I bought but have not started. Love your channel.
OMG you have no idea how excited I was to log on and find this floss tube video up!!!!! I am going to get some stitching stuff together so I can stitch and watch! I can't thank you enough for making this video!!!!
I watched this while I stitched in the mornings this week! And have since added a few to a few carts 😂😅 loved this! I love listening to you, you have the kindest demeanor in your videos ❤
Thank you so much Brianna! I'm so happy you saw some charts you like ❤️❤️
Beautiful collection! I’m now on the hunt for Holiday Village. Amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Just finished a dimension kit from 1985 First Flowers of Spring that I found at a thrift shop. Not much detail but it was fun. Now working on 16 dimensions kit and iso 5 more. Thanks for sharing ❤
So many beautiful kits 😍
All the kits look attractive.Thank you very much for introducing.Let's enjoy cross stitch.^^
Thanks for the Dimensions parade. Enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed your Mill Hill kits parades. I too am a huge fan of Dimensions and several classic patterns across its many brands. No birds in my inventory. My favorite (and most expensive Dimensions kit which was my unicorn until I located it last year on the secondary market) is "Soft Sounds of the Orient." It was designed by James Himsworth (my favorite designer) for Dimensions' The Gold Collection and released in 2000. I hope to put my first stitch on it next year as soon as I can get my first Mirabilia ("Gypsy Queen") at least three quarters done. My last big finish - and fully finished is Jean Farrish's "America Land that We Love." It was a two-year labor of love and my therapy during the height of the pandemic and my Mother's terminal illness. This craft has saved me thousands of dollars in therapy. Thanks for your content. Take care.
Loved every minute of this video! And, yes, I'm going to watch again and take notes!! I appreciated the format and enjoyed hearing you talk about what drew you to each kit. Love, love, love the snow scenes! Hope your November is going well.
I loved seeing all your Dimensions kits! You have some very beautiful kits.
If I compared the amount of cross stitch charts to what I've actually stitched Id have to say I'm more of a chart collector. In recent years I have purchased some kits I've found on destash. Definitely intend to stitch at some point. Love all yours, never stop doing what makes you happy.
Where on Jersey Shore? I grew up in Monmouth Beach! 😊
Oh I can definitely relate !!!
Thanks for sharing,always LOVE watching all your videos
I enjoyed your video, so much. I have quite a collection of Dimension kits also. I enjoyed seeing yours and I saw several I would love to find. I hope you make a video of all of your finishes. I have subscribed to your floss tube and can't wait to see more.
That was fun!!!
I'm so excited to go on to UA-cam and see this video pop up. I am saving it for watching just a little later for the impending insomnia I feel coming on. I text my daughter to bring snacks on her way from work to enjoy with your Flosstube. Thank you for this!
love all your demensions kits i am fom europe postage is very expensive but looking forward to buy when im abroad tnx for sharing
Love all your kits. Dimensions kits can be really challenging with all the blended and multiple threads, half stiches, etc. I was going through my wips and realized I have a lot of Dimensions! I bought that stamped kit because I loved the design but I couldn't figure out how to transfer it to cross stitch, so I gave it away. I wish they would make in cross stitch. I'm working on Rocky Point right now, hoping to finish it for my Dad for Christmas. I stitched Horses By the stream a few years ago for my sister and it was a lovely stitch. I noticed they are using white packaging now instead of black
I loved this kit parade! I too collect kits but I also do stitch them. You showed me many new one to put on my wish list. Happy Thanksgiving - Hugs and blessings on your coming week!
Enjoyed seeing all your nature themed kits!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing!!
Lots of pretties! Thanks for sharing them❤
Enjoyed this so much. Watched while stitching.🙂 Thank you!
Oooohhhhh I can’t wait to watch this when I get home from the oral surgeon!! LOVE Dimensions kits and have a big collection that SERIOUSLY needs organizing! 😊
Love them a lot
Gorgeous collection ❤
You have so many beautiful kits to choose from. I enjoyed looking at all that you shared. Thank you!
I enjoyed to see all your kits.
Oh I'm so excited to stitch Christmas and watch your video!! Thank you! I kinda gave a tiny excited squeal when I saw the video was out and my partner looked at me curious and I told him "My youtube grandma just made the best video!" It's how I feel when I see your videos.
🤣🤣🤣! Thank you!
Oh my gosh I didn't know the moose was Abraham hunter!! I absolutely LOVE him. His art is one of my favorites. Now I'm going to have to go get those. I have multiple full coverages going from him. :)
Always enjoy the stash revisits . You have a beautiful collection but that berry wreath is still on my short list ! I love it so much!
Thank you for sharing, you have a great collection. Hope you and those you love have a wonderful holiday
Oh, I love seeing all of your Dimensions kits! It truly is like being in a candy store! LOL! Love the Christmas stocking. I'll have to look into that one. 😉 Happy stitching and thanks for sharing, Christine! ❤
Love seeing all your kits - lots of pretty ones! It is good to get them before they go out of print or they get expensive. Make sure your family knows you have quite the investment there. Happy Thanksgiving!
Great selection,love them all🌈🌈🌺🌺🌸🌸
Wonderful stash of Dimension 🧵🪡🙏⭐️😍
❤great job on your video 👍❤
Loved this, thank you! Some of these kits I haven't seen since I worked in craft retail in the early 00s!
I'm new to your channel and while I haven't done any dimensions kits I enjoyed your collection as well as the sound of your voice. It's so soothing and comforting.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the compliment! ❤️
Love the video! Where I live on Vancouver island (BC Canada) we can see the northern lights from the beaches 😍
So much fun! I enjoyed this video so much. Yes, I had paper and pen and have to say I of course wrote down several of them! I like how you pointed out some things on the patterns. Things I didn’t see at first glance.
We have Cardinals everywhere in my area, but I still get excited when I see one fly by.
Silent Flight was an enjoyable stitch, I have it framed above my bed.
Congrats!!! I'm sure it looks amazing!
Such a wonderful watch, I am gonna watch it again and this time with a notebook and pen! lol and yes you did enable me to go ebay hunting, but more to save and purchase a kit I've been wanting for a while. I had been searching for it, and your enablement prompted me to check for it again, and voila, there it was at a good price, thank you!
Hi Christine, sorry if I've commented before but I've been traveling and have probably watched this video a couple of times! Thank you so much for the enabling! I think I've mentioned before that you need to give me a heads up in our next obsession 😂
I adore your owl finish.
I'm so thankful for your videos.
Take good care ❤
🤣🤣🤣 Well technically this isn't a new obsession 🤣🤣
Enjoyed every minute of this, so many beautiful kits. I’m the same as you in loving the art work but not always wanting to stitch it..can’t even begin to choose a favourite but winters hush is exquisite..it may have to be purchased sometime. However, I have just bought the gold petite coffee shop, it’s super cute and a nice stitch for Christmas 🎄 Thank you so much for filming this, I intend having another watch soon. Have a lovely week ahead, and hope you get plenty of stitching and crafting done x
I loved this! Worked on my Squirrelly Mill Hill ornament while watching 😊. Wow, what an amazing collection you have! Winter’s Hush and Main Street were my favorites. ❤ Would love to see you do a stocking! Thanks for making these wonderful videos, I sure do love them!
obsessed right now with these dimensions gold kits. My unicorns are Japanese maiden and enchanting geisha.
Those are beautiful kits! Japanese Maiden is on Mercari right now for $112 😬
Looking forward to seeing your finished projects.
I just put the finish video up yesterday! Enjoy!
I enjoyed each and every moment of this kit parade. I have done the painting of the cove with the Victorian house and have been very tempted to stitch the kit. It does seem like those kits are of the same house. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
I'm never watching you again😂. Wow, was this an enabling video! It was a lot of fun. 🎉❤
I'm not sure that I have ever seen a lighthouse in person either. Mountain cabins ftw.
Ah, what a treat this is!!!! I am not even halfway yet and I am loving this. ❤
Oops, I don’t have aurora cabin in my dimensions collection. Lol. :) I think it is indeed due to the popularity of it.
The Cherry Blossom Creek is one that I would like to stitch just the right half of the pattern. That stream looks so pretty!
Hi! Well, first- awesome video, love this kind of videos, second- old Dimensions Chair with flowers, that kit made me wanna do that picture NOW, i mean now:D Its so lifelike and interesting pattern, i found from google finished picture as well and that convinced me that i want on my wall! Thank you for inspiration! Love from Estonia!
Isn't it gorgeous!?!? ❤️
Omg I’ve just seen this 😍 that’s my evening sorted ❤❤❤
☺️ Enjoy!!
Love all those kits! So many that I would love to stitch, but didn’t write them down because I now myself and I would pay way to much for them 😂
Winter morning, is also an enjoyable stitch apart from the backstitching which I didn’t enjoy as much.
Loved seeing your collection! full disclosure, I bought one. 8)
Ooooo, I have to ask which one you bought!
@calico_whimsy Chair with Flowers, first one you showed. It has such a simply beautiful composition.
@@Tricia-TheLefthandedStitcher wonderful choice! 💐
I'm currently stitching the Early Snow one, love, love the pattern.
Oooo! I bet it is! can't wait to start it at some point!!
Just happened to find your floss tube by chance. You have a very impressive collection. I have never completed a Dimension kit. I have purchased from a thrift store but never completed it. I love doing samplers. I really like some of the kits, especially the black dog with the birds on his back. Also like the Berry Wreath and Seaside Retreat. I can see how you can get hooked on collecting! You have a sweet personality which made time fly by! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words ☺️ I hope you try stitching a Dimensions someday. They can be a bit tedious at times, but soooo worth it!
Sitting down to watch with some stitching and tea.... should I get some ebay tabs ready to go? Let the enabling begin :D
Apologies in advance 🤣
Hello
I think every stitcher should at least stitch one Dimensions kit just like you should stitch at least one Phillipina or Miribalia. Lol. If you xan conquer these designers, consider yourself an experienced stitcher. Haven't gotten there yet, but I have purchased a pattern or two of these. That Victorian house is calling me with tea and scones. Love, Love,, Love
I would love to see your finishes!
Coming very soon! 👍☺️
I worked at Keystone Ski resort while in high school. We have a connection.
Oh that is sooo cool! I was there the winter of '85-'86! Probably way before your time, i'm guessing ☺️
Thank you for taking the time to share your amazing collection! There are a few I haven’t seen before. Btw, the artist Sung Kim is a man, not a woman 😊. I just bought Winter’s Hush also. It is so beautiful. I may have to start it for next Christmas. I’m currently doing a Mill Hill kit (Winter Glow) for this Christmas. Idk why, but I’m attracted to a lot of blue, silver, and white for Christmas. I did all the Traditional colors when my kids were little, so am wanting a change! Lovely video❤
OMG! Thank you for enlightening me about Sung Kim ( I don't know why I assumed he was a woman, oops!)
Winter Glow is beautiful and I feel like there is a companion piece to it as well. Let me know if you want the name, I'll look it up! Happy Stitching!
Kits you've convinced me I need to buy:
Birch tree birds
Aurora Cabin
SEASIDE RETREAT!!!
Holiday village
Farm hamlet (those lil cows!)
Garden door
also had no idea Summer cottage went out of print! was this recently?
👏👏👏 Go Treat yourself!! ☺️
Maybe create a video on how to sort the floss on the old kits.
I made one awhile back...I'll see if I can find it
Ruth here, l did the coffee shop and the Holiday tree farm, l still like em, not to hard but that stamped one to me looks like a nightmare to figure out the back stitch, l have done a little stamped stitching, l looked at the picture a lot to help me
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback! That's so great that you did BOTH if those petites! Well done!
Wow, so many to stitch, where to start😵💫 I've stitched the chickadees and pinecones - its stunning! The picture does not do it justice. Also stitched Chair with Flowers. I'm in the process of stitching Love Birds. I must admit I am not enjoying this one, thus the reason it is still a wip after so many years. I have to stay at it in order for my eyes/brain to get used to the chart. I have decided to stop where the branch ends and not complete the bottom with the initials. I am only at the birds, UGH and haven't done any backstitching.
My all time favorite is Scenic Farm. I bought it when first released, started it and put it away and forgot about it for years. Only discovered it a few year ago, finished it and won Best In Show at our local fair 2 years ago. It is stunning when complete. The next one I want to start is Winter Geese. It's geese flying over a snow covered corn field with a beautiful red barn in the background. Can't wait to have it as a complement to Scenic Farm.
I enjoyed your parade and love me a good Dimensions kit. I agree the old stockings were more detailed. I stitched 2 of those for my niece and nephew - a labor of love !
Congrats on winning Best in Show for Scenic Farm!!! That's awesome! I have stitched Winter Geese and it's one of my favorites!
Seems we have a lot of stitching in common. I'd love to see your Winter Geese, please show it sometime !! @@calico_whimsy
@@MK-vp1rr I show Winter Geese in Flosstube 52 about 11 min in!

Love to see dimensions kit video.. do you have a video of your finish work of dimensions?
I have an old video that has my Dimensions kits( at that time), WIPs and finishes. I need to update my finishes because I have quite a few more since that video. I will try to do that soon!
I forgot to give you the link it's Flosstube # 57 ua-cam.com/video/JiPyYuIDH6E/v-deo.htmlsi=kBSg0T2irRcm93FF
I know this video was posted a month ago but I happen to come across it today while stitching. I love Dimensions also and have enjoyed your parade. If you ever get to the great lakes of Michigan there are some beautiful lighthouses to tour. We love lighthouses and am actually stitching one for my husband. But I wanted to suggest to you that if you want to get some of these kits finished but may not have time yourself have you thought about hiring a stitcher to do some for you? I have been model stitcher for years and people hire me to finish their projects for many reasons. Maybe they don't have the time, arthritis, vision is not good or they just don't know how to stitch but would love something stitched that they saw. Just thought I'd pass that on to you. There are many stitches out there that do this besides myself. Thank you for your parade!
I would LOVE to visit Michigan someday! That is so wonderful of you to help stitchers finish their projects! It must be hard to let the projects go after you put the work into them. ❤️ It's a very kind thing to do ☺️
@@calico_whimsy it makes me feel good that they can still enjoy the finished stitched. About four years ago a young lady asked me to stitched two dimensions stockings. One for her husband and one for her, she doesn't stitch herself. Well this past year they were going to welcome their first child in October and she asked me to stitch h one for him. I'm waiting, lol, for her to ask me to do another someday for child #2. The lighthouse I'm stitching for my husband is the Dimensions Rocky Point but I need to show him the Northern Lights kit since he would love to be up north when the sky is full of the beautiful Northern Lights.
Do you have the kit stored in special containers?
