    Many congratulations on completing 50 starts🎉🥳🎊, an amazing achievement. I joined partway on yours and Sarah’s journey and it’s been inspiring to see all the different projects and as a newbie to flosstube to see what a great community of stitchers there are out there. Looking forward to see what you do in 2025 🥰

    Well done, Sally! It's been so enjoyable to follow your amazing journey with all of your projects this year. Congratulations on achieving your goal! I had hoped to start Strawberry Fields with you, but life intervened in the form of a fracture of a vertebrae in my back. I just didn't have it in me to start anything new. But, I'm hoping to get it started in the not too distant future. As you know, I have quite an attachment to the Beetles and Liverpool. ;) Happy New Year. Steph x

    • @flossysewsandgrows
      @flossysewsandgrows  17 днів тому

      Thank you Steph, I have really loved 2024 and all I have achieved although still a few projects that have quite a way to go on them! I'm so sorry to hear about your back - I hope you are on the mend and will be back to 100% soon. I doubt Strawberry Fields will come out for a while now so let me know when you are going to make a start and I will get it out and stitch some with you. Sending healing thoughts and best wishes xxxxx

      Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I loved looking at all the projects again and it really made me want to stitch on a few so hopefully most will get stitched in 2025. Trying to take my foot off the pedal a bit now and enjoy it rather than rush, rush, rush! Happy Stitching x

    Congratulations on completing your big 50th birthday challenge! Very well done! It was fun to review all of them. And I’m so pleased to have joined you on “Light.” Thanks so much for sharing your fabric and color conversion. I love it! I’m excited to see what you show us in 2025 with the British designer charts. ❤

    I’ve enjoyed watching your 50 starts through the year! I did not meet my goal of 60 but I’m ok with that! Hoping to do a Flosstube today or tomorrow. I totally agree with you about stitching with one thread. Once I started it has been hard to go back to my older projects that I started with two threads. Looking forward to 2025 stitching!

    That was so much fun! I have about 5 of your starts as wips too! I have finished Cinnamon Stars and gifted it to my friend as a house warming gift. Like all of Plum Street Samplers they often fool me as there is so much more stitching than I think there is! Happy New Year!

    • @flossysewsandgrows
      @flossysewsandgrows  16 днів тому

      Oh I do love Plum Street but you are right - they always have more stitching than you think they will! So enjoyable though! Pleased you enjoyed and hope you have a wonderful 2025! 🪡🧵❤️

    Loved yours and Sarah's fantastic year of 50 starts, and I think I joined for at least 10 of the combined starts. I have Button box on my start list for May but that was in my plans last year but didn't get to it in the end. I love that dreaming of summer it's definitely on the wish list. Love cinnamon stars it's definitely one I need to add to the stash. I ended up starting the quaker and have already worked on it this month. Amazing 29 finishes 🎉

    • @flossysewsandgrows

    Hi Sally…the summary video is lovely…so much accomplished in 2024. May I ask what you do with your chickens when you are travelling? 🦉🧵🪡🍾

    • @flossysewsandgrows
      @flossysewsandgrows  17 днів тому

      Thank you Karen - I loved filming it and reminding myself of what I had done. Just one chicken now (Snow) and we have the teenage son of some friends who comes over to let her out in the morning,.check her food and water and pops back in the evening to put her to bed. Luckily this time of year it's not too early or late as it's dark later and she goes to bed by 5pm! Happy Stitching my friend ❤️🪡🧵

    • @flossysewsandgrows
      @flossysewsandgrows  16 днів тому +1

      Thanks so much for joining us and for all the support you have given us this year. I have loved my big birthday year and I am sure you will too. Don't forget I did lots of smalls which I was able to do quickly - you already have a huge full coverage in the mix! So it doesn't really matter if you finish as many as me or not - it's your journey. Just enjoy it as much as you can! ❤️🧵🪡❤️🧵🪡

    Quakeralong … I have a restart coming. I just couldn’t get along with my fabric. So I’ve got a different one. Was only 2% so not a great loss but more catching up to do!
