    Thank you Jennifer for your video and company. Oh my goodness what a shock you must have got with the guanna well done for continuing to film for us. How lovely does this piece look with straight stitch. I am delighted to say I now have an ORT jar, well 2 really. One is for useable ORTS and the other is for the bits you can do nothing with,I make them into ORT balls or dispose of the bits. I was given someone's threads who had stopped sewing and there was a bag with a tangle of thread. I had great fun untangling and adding to the jar of all useable thread for my daily snippets. I have your new book on pre order and I am so looking forward to it arriving. Happy stitching.

    It just amazes me how you just sit down and it comes out spectacular! I always watch you on the tv so don’t think I have ever commented but I do watch, like and SAVE all your videos to watch and rewatch !! And I created the wool clutch and so enjoyed it ! Maybe date the videos instead all the volumes etc etc .. that is very confusing to me!😂 I did silk ribbon embroidery in the 90s and had not picked it up again until you appeared on UA-cam!! I have since bought your books and I have particularly enjoyed the latest videos where you reference your books !! Better close .. like you I am afraid it’s getting too long!! Just love all the color you use especially the piece in your intro and oh oh .. all

I even went and found perle cotton in size 8 and 12 locally like you suggest. I love your Foolproof Flower Embroidery book that pushes me to continue to turn the pages slowly and enjoy each type of stitch for the beauty that they are.

    I completely agree that you can do very interesting work with a limited amount of stitches. I use mainly stem, fly, and knots. I can create an entire meadow with just those stitches by varying the thread size and color.

    Does the goanna bite? It would shake you up a bit. Like when I go to put my foot down and there is a snake slithering by. I'm not afraid of snakes but it's the surprise. I love your 15 minutes of stitching. Do you see it in your head before you start or do the straight stitches just start and you fill it in. I really envy people who do that.
    Anyway thank you for stitching with me today. ❤

I applaud you stitching while recovery from your scare!
