    Thank you. I was introduced to you by TheRunnerStitcher.. I was intrigued by the combination of crossstitch and games. The family play a lot of games. So it is nice for me to do a little research 😊. Delightful video. Jan 🇬🇧

    I am so happy that you are pleased with my ornaments…your kind words truly touched my heart. I too had my prom dresses made by my mother…my first prom I went with the man that became my husband. Thank you for triggering such a lovely memory. I love seeing the diversity of the stitches you two do….thank you for another wonderful video. I do watch the games section as I have two kids who love board games.

    I only just came across your flosstube and you have quite a few gorgeous project going. I love the winter castle piece and the scene from Dimensions. And I have to say that I keep staring at the green piece on your wall. It is stunning, beautiful colours. Thank you so much about the very kind shout out and I am so enthusiastic about you stitching the national park series! I will cheer you on! Happy stitching!

    Lovely catching up with you. Beautiful stitching and stitchy plans. Love the fabric you chose for Azaad. I can’t wait to see how it will turn out 😊

      @UpliftStitches  4 місяці тому

      Thanks Maryam! Your description of Azaad as free-spirited and unrestrained really influenced my decision to stitch on what I felt was a vivid and joyful sky-like fabric Azaad could soar on. I am excited about the idea of doing all the fill-in while we are up in the sky during long flights to and from our vacation.

    Omg the hiking squirrel is adorable! I love him! I hope that pattern gets released. The progress on your Cherry Blossom dimensions kit looks great! Congrats on your design choices to make the game piece yours! Oh i'm so glad you're joining the fairytale forest SAL! I am going to live through you since I didn't have the time to do this one. I loved her patterns and I hope you enjoy it! I think roughly around 12,000 per month? ish? oOh marjorie made is hosting a strawbery sal in june as well where she is encouraging everyone to stitch strawberries! join in! the hashtag is on her latest video.

      Thanks Andrew! Michael has really been enjoying the Fairytale Forest SAL and his first experience of using fancy flosses. I know, there are so many fun SALs out there and not nearly enough time (or money) to attempt to do them all!! We have gotten a little behind on watching flosstubes this month, but Marjorie's video is in our queue so I can be enticed fully by her strawberry SAL! Happy stitching 💕

    I finally watched your video and I really enjoyed it. You both have such great projects and I “Let love reign” looks absolutely stunning! 😍 I plan to start it later this year and can’t wait.
    So excited about the Zig reveal soon 😊

      Alex, it was so nice to meet you in the Zig Zoom last weekend! I am also so excited about the reveal! 😍Working on Zig (okay, ripping out and re-stitching and questioning all my choices) took more time than I anticipated this month and I did not made as much progress on Let Love Reign as I hoped. Still some progress is better than none, and I now have fun Zoom memories connected to the border. Enjoy every stitch! 💕

    Great channel, great videos, great content, and great people! I found you a couple days ago and have watched all your videos. I love your boardgame section and have made a list of ones I need to get. A couple that my husband and I like to play frequently are Red Dragon Inn and Flux. Red Dragon Inn is a group of adventurers "resting" at the inn after a long day of questing. The object of the game is to outlast your companions in drinking games and damaging mishaps. There are several expansions and characters to add. So fun with friends!! Flux is a card game with ever-changing rules and goals. There are many different flavors and is fun with a group or just 2.

      Thank you so much! We're so glad you found us and thankful for all the time you have spent getting to know us through our videos. We have played Red Dragon Inn and Fluxx, and they are both great games! Our friends that we do game days with have the big box version of Red Dragon Inn in their collection with most of the expansions, which is fun because even though we have played it several times together I think I have never been the same adventurer twice! I think we have played 4 or 5 different versions of Fluxx over the years, including the board game version which has the added chaos of a board made up of tiles that move and rotate throughout the game. Happy stitching and gaming! 💕

    Found your channel thru Andrew the runner stitcher and I'm so glad I listened to his advice lol! Love all your projects! I was supposed to start the 324 sal but I got distracted by hundreds of other projects 😂 so its still in my tbs pile...but I am definitely going to join the hathaways secret sal if they do another 1 after zig ends...I have fomo for not participating in this one lololol. Super jealous u live so close to color and cotton...I'd be in HEAVEN there- nothing like being able to look at and touch the fabric in person!
    Look forward to seeing your progress on ur new projects and especially the forest sal that fabric is amazing!! 🐈‍⬛🪡❤️

      Thank you, we are so glad you followed Andrew's advice! 😄SAL fomo is so real, but thankfully there is still plenty of joy to be found in the piles and squirrels just waiting around the corner! It sounds like the Hathaway Stitchers might have a secret SAL idea in the works for later in the year, after we all have recovered from the chaos of this one. The experience of going to a needlework shop is always fun! Happy stitching 💕

    Beautiful stitching you two! Melanie, what is that pixel art with the yellow background and flowers hanging behind you?

    • @UpliftStitches
      @UpliftStitches  4 місяці тому

      Thanks Nitya! The pixel art piece behind us is actually a Lego set - Floral Art 31207. The booklet that came with the set has patterns for three different floral arrangements and this is one of those three. It also came with enough studs to play around with colors or make your own design.

    Beautiful video. Can you explain, what it means by 2 over 2 , 1 over 1, 2 over 1 etc thanks 😊😊 Newbie here . Love you too, your videos are awesome. 💞

    • @UpliftStitches
      @UpliftStitches  5 місяців тому +1

      Thanks, we appreciate you asking for clarification! "# over #" is a term flosstubers commonly use to describe the particular way floss is being used on a project. The first number refers to the number of floss thread strands being stitched onto the project. The second number refers to the number of aida or linen fabric threads that the floss is being stitched over. So when I say 1 over 2 it means I am using only ONE strand floss thread in my needle to make Xs, and that those Xs are being made over TWO threads of the fabric.
      Cat of Catkin and Lillie has a great video where she describes what this means and gives visual examples if that is more helpful to you: ua-cam.com/video/FUEHKfPvnmw/v-deo.html
