    Love the framed La Grande Jatte! Very creative finish, so happy it finished just the way you imagined.
    I would love to stitch that little spooky cat. Your storytelling is such a highlight of your videos. You share so many life lessons in each story.
    Thank you for all the time you do spend putting your videos together. See you in a couple of weeks🧡💛🍁

    Btw,I'm going to be a little sad I won't he at your first retreat, but I'm certain you'll have a wonderful time among lovely, talented stitchers like yourself. ❤
    Your description of yourself as a little boy waiting patiently for your mama to come home ,having been cared for by a loving grandma and family all day , just brought such joy and nostalgia to my heart all at once ....and then knowing circumstances changed for you afterwards... sadness as well. Much love ,dear friend. 🥲

I especially love Sunday on La Grande Jatte and how you fully finished this piece. Enjoy your first autumn in CT, spooky or not. I am waiting for your upcoming opinion on winter in the northeast as you remember the warmth of a southern CA winter. Have a great two weeks in autumnal delight and I look forward to seeing you and your stitching then.

Best wishes this winter ⛄️ from this Florida girl! 🌴 I do miss the beauty of Fall in the North! Happy Stitching 😎

    @sallyknotwell1605 Рік тому

    I use the sticky-back felt as well for all my ornaments! The package of felt from Amazon gives you so many colors to choose from. Well done on the partridge ornament. I never thought about the long loop vs short loop and I love your idea of using the short loop to allow for manipulation of the ornament on the tree. Those goats are darling - I think you are referring to Fainting Goats....I've seen them and when they faint, it is startling! Autumn and Spooky are two of my favorite words...especially at this time of the year! Thank you for an amazing video, as usual.

    You are such a wonderful storyteller! I found your flosstube videos from the lovely ladies in Alabama. Your needlework is so gorgeous and most love how you stitch pieces that you love, not just what everyone else is stitching. I like to stitch a few smalls and then work some on a chart for an antique sampler my 2x great grandmother did when she was a little girl in 1823. You have sparked an entrance in me for doing more Christmas ornaments. I usually make them for gifts there for have none for myself!! I love the all Santas. Autumn

    Wonderful, fun video, as always! Love the finish and the ornaments. I agree, they are intricate to cut out. A little tip to identify birds, butterflies, anything really is google pic. If you go on to your google app and take a picture it will tell identify the item, bird, etc. for you. I do it a lot when I see different birds at my backyard feeders or flowers that I don't recognize. love your life story...a cliffhanger! Can't wait for more!
