Very cool episode! Thanks for your willingness to share all your kits, mira's etc. As you mention your in your episodes you enjoy stitching at your cabin. There is a podcast called Ologies and one of the recent episodes is called cabinology! You might enjoy it. Please keep stitching and sharing.
This is an amazing parade; so many wonderful kits. I've stitched part of Garden Gate; my aunt started it for me before she died, and completing it in 2021, a few years later, was what re-awakened my cross stitch bug, even though I generally do more patterns than kits. Her kit was labeled Dimensions, so you're right about the Dimensions/Sunset connection. I haven't framed it yet because I need to stitch both our initials in the piece, and because I love looking at the back. You can definitely where she left off with her incredibly perfect back and where I picked it up (less than perfectly). Enjoy stitching it and all the others, when you get to them! BTW: Art Deco is the one with sharper angles and more square corners (D=Deco and Dwarves), while Art Nouveau is more organic and curvy (elves).
Epic kit parade!! That tape is over 20 years old. I pulled out a piece I stored and had used masking tape on and it looked like that. It was a Mira that I stitched in 1994. Luckily I had used plenty of fabric and was able to cut it completely off the piece. Awesome you are saving older pieces. I'm ready for spring. Happy stitching! 😊
I loved your kit parade.....you won't believe how many times I had to pause and go on the hunt for the kit you were showing! So much fun....my wish list has definately growen. Thanks so much for sharing! Spring
This was so much fun! My wishlist has just grown. I started my first Luca-s (butterfly magic) kit a few months ago and when I saw the detail on the face and in the butterflies I immediately bought “girl with poppies”. I am generally not a kit person but aside from the bobbin set up I am a fan. The gridded Aida is really nice that they have. I actually bought a few yards of it for my stash. So thanks so much for your efforts with this video. I too love the cottage by the lake in the woods.😂 Spring.
Loved seeing all the fun kits. So cool how find the ones with different shapes, like the round and oval ones. Lots of dimension and depth. And of course the fancy ladies are a must. Im going to have to join in on the 2026 year of the horse stitching. Amazon says wild Horse will be here friday....probably pending snow 😂Spring
What an amazing collection! I recently started my first kit, Princess and Unicorn by Janlynn. A few months ago I found a finished Valley of the River Beck and have it hanging in my house now. Spring!
This was a delight! I absolutely love stitching kits and collecting kits of course. I have a ton of Dimensions kits - there’s just something about that brand that I love! Can’t wait til Spring gets here too 😊 xx
Love all your kits!!awesome stash, I have done several dimensions kits, they are definitely a nice challenge and beautiful. I haven’t seen spring fairy before, or the other, but it is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Yay! A kit parade! Thanks for showing us all your kits. I am a bit like you, just having some of them brings me joy :). I have some of the japanses theme ones that you showed and they are so beautiful. All the season fairies would be great additions, including spring
One thing I just thought of. Be careful sewing fabric to the horse piece you want to turn into a pillow. The stickiness from the machine might gum up your needle and machine.
Amy, this was so fun to watch. So many beautiful kits. I recently pulled out a very old wip, This Side of Heaven by Bucilla, from 1992. It is about 25% finished and I have picked it back up again. Back in the day tape was how we prevented our fabric from fraying. I am so nervous now to remove it. I am still going to finish the piece because it is so pretty.....a cottage with flower gardens!
I’m not into fairies but those seasonal ones are stunning and I want to stitch them all. The sparkle in the spring one is gorgeous. I also imagine the back story when looking at the pictures.
Wow - such a great collection! I confess I own zero kits but I love the Dimensions fairies, including Spring Fairy. I also love the Dimensions Victorian house on the dark navy. I keep going back to that one on Amazon but I have sart-itis - the fear of adding to my WIP pile. 😂
Loved this kit parade, but then again, I'm a sucker for a full-length feature movie 🤣. Saw some kits I have, some I don't, and I'm really trying hard not to go searching. I haven't started collecting the Dimensions Gold seasonal fairies, but after seeing Spring and Summer, I might change my mind. One note about Dana's Roses (which I somehow managed to acquire a while ago): the floss is all DMC, so if you can find just the paper pattern, it would be super easy to just kit it up and go.
It was so much fun going thru your stash!!!! Love the feeling of rediscovering things that we have and forgot about.. haha. I know you have a few repeats and it’s great you want to share them, but have you thought about checking other flosstubes who collect kits and may have dupe that you could possibly trade…. Just a thought. Spring❤️❤️❤️
I want Dana's Roses very badly too! Thanks to Luda, 😅! I check ebay every week, and a kit popped up in mid-December that sold for around $220. Maybe it will get re-issued one day. On the subject of masking taping the fabric edges, that's just what we did back in the 80s and 90s, even cross stitch shops told stitchers to do that. I stopped stitching for about 15 years in the early 2000s, and when I pulled all that stuff out in 2017, yeah...it was cringe. Now I ziz-zag all my fabric, I know better now, but in our defense everyone was using tape. I have a Paula Vaughn project from about 1993, Aunt Verdi's Porch, that is 80% finished, and it's got tape on it. I'm going to finish it this year, thankfully I have always been the type of stitcher that over-shoots on the fabric size so that can all be well-hidden! Lastly I am now about to purchase the RTO kits of Mr. And Mrs. Santa from the Kingdom of Fairy Tales. Those are gorgeous, and you're correct, that's a Mrs. Claus I want to stitch! I'm usually not enabled too much by kit parades, but that one hit me right in the heart! Thanks so much!
Hello - fantastic collection but have you ever considered getting a vintage cottage kit with flowers and maybe a water feature with either a bird or a bunny 😂 . Reminds me of my collection with floral - single flower - vase of flowers - growing flowers etc etc etc … happy stitching & danas roses is a unicorn for me also …all the best - Allison
Thank you for the kit parade-I made a note of a few them. It’s like an early spring present. FYI I speak Russian so if you want anything translated let me know (it was moving too quickly on screen to read) Are all the Marejka kits counted cross stitch? I was looking at one online but didn’t want to risk getting a stamped kit 🦉🐊
I haven't seen a lot of these but the LettiStitch kits are calling my name ❤ Maybe you could join Cross Stitch the Globe's "Make it Murder SAL" with a couple of kits that remind you of Agatha Christie 😊
You have a lot that I haven't seen before. That's why I love kit parades. I feel like kits have become less popular in the past couple of years on flosstube and that there are only a handful of us still stitching them. I may be completely wrong but that is just what i have observed. Regarding the candamar kit floss...toss it. It's trash! When i was stitching cinderella, it kept breaking and shredding. The coverage is really bad and the colours aren't as bright as what the cover shows. I would convert to dmc.
I love all of the kits you have shown. It really makes me want spring to come soon
What a beautiful collection of kits! Spring!

So many kids I'd never seen😮! I better spring into my stitching and get moving on these wips
Spring. I'm so excited to find your channel. You sound so much like me (liking the same type charts and wondering about the pictures).
I would love spring.
Thanks for sharing your kits a lot I have not seen before. A pleasure to watch your face as you rediscover your treasures. Spring

Spring is coming at last!! Thanks for such a thorough and joyful video. I love seeing your passion for these kits!
I love your Flosstube videos!! I know spring is coming soon, but winter is still my favourite season.

@@honeybunnystitchery good point! I’m considering stitching one or two stitches into the piece. I’m not certain how I’ll approach it yet.

Thank you for your video! So many beautiful kits! I would not dare to buy so many kits but it's great you do !😊
It's Springtime in the woods, so let's get our spring on! Love the Video's always.
Great kit parade 😊 I'm also a collector, my faves are fairies and lighthouses 😊 Im also a fan of Luca s and letistitch
Love all the kits. I can't wait till spring.

I had to get paper and pen for this video. I have a list now… thanks lol. Love the spring chart!!!!
I love everything about this video!!

Thanks for the long video. It's easier to watch a long video while sewing than switching from short video to short video. Spring 🌼
Thanks! Spring
Love seeing all your kits. Spring

@@therunnerstitcher sorry I didn’t mention it. It’s called Robin Hood.
