Vonna, you deserve to be connected with people that gift you with special charts. I’m sure you don’t realize how much you offer to us “simple” stitchers. Your gift of stitching and finishing talents, helps us achieve our goals. You humbly and unselfishly give us everything we need to finish our projects, not to mention your tips and tricks that you share with new stitchers. Thank you so much for just being you. ❤
Vonna - I love all you videos, especially the Stitch With Me videos. You have a very calming voice to me and I love hearing your stories. I feel like I know you personally. You are a beautiful soul. Thank you for everything you do. Peace to you dear stitchy friend. ❤
What a wonderful video..loved all of the kits that you shared! Wow!! And, your sharing of your faith and outlook on life absolutely touches me…I love stitching while listening to you! And, enjoy the soft music 🎶
Once again, it was a pleasure to stitch with you! Enjoyed your stories as well as that relaxing music in the background. Of COURSE, I enjoyed seeing your stitches too! Anyways, took awhile for me to finally watch this video as I have it on while sewing binding to a runner.... 'cuz I can't count and listen at the same time! lol! So, my next Santa piece is a Dimensions Petite that says Believe. Should be a relaxing stitch! Thanks again for sharing! :-)
I love spending time with you watching you stitch and hearing you talk about your life. I have Santa of the Forest. Watching you has convinced me to get on the ball and start it. It’s so beautiful! Thanks for sharing your time with us. I look forward to future videos.
I enjoyed stitching with you today, seeing your beautiful work, and being inspired by your sharing about your reasons for stitching certain pieces. Enjoy your family vacations because you are right - the day comes too quickly when the kids don't want to travel with you, and are busy with their own lives. Take care.🏵
I Love, love Santa and Jesus (him more). Vonna, you need not concern yourself what others think or think they know of, you. That's their insecurity of themselves, it's a reflection of themselves. I see and feel your love for what you do, your family, and your beliefs. God has blessed you because you have blessed us all with your videos of stitching, finishes, and much more. You GO Girl!!
Vonna, I always enjoy your stitch with me videos! You are so inspiring and your stitching brings so much peace to me! Thank you again for being so generous with your time and talents! Happy Mother’s Day! ❤
Hi Vonna - I just watched today and stitched Huckleberry Farm. I started once last year and realized late in the process I had not left in enough room on the fabric for the whole design. So i put it away for a long long time, discouraged. Thought about restarting on different fabric but decided to tough it out and frog on my special dyed fabric and restart. Now it is going well and if there is not enough room - so be it and I will adapt. I have loved this design since I saw you showcase it at a Market with Gary on FiberTalk. You know how long ago that was! The reason I am writing is to tell you a dear friend of ours gifted us with a picture of Santa's Nap and wrote on it "This house believes in Santa Claus". My husband used to 'play' Santa for kids at the local botanical garden at Christmastime, so it was a special gift. I had not seen the picture before and now you showed it as a chart! Wow - had no idea, I will have to look for it. Take care and enjoy your vacay to Colorado - I can tell you the Sand Dunes are windy!!! be prepared to take precaution if you are camping and cooking:))
I too have a bright tech floor lamp LED. I just bought another one brand new on Amazon from a seller who mails with prime and he had some he bought out and was only charging $69 so now I have 1 in our family room and 1 in the living room. Most days I’m in the back room and I go out in from living room at night so I can stitch and watch all my true crime and stitching podcast while my hubby watches his gear podcasts!! I just adore you Vonna, you are the sweetest and kindest person out of anyone I watch and so funny too. I am 71 and I live in Ohio. Our Hobby Lobby is doing the same thing as yours grrrr. I read that the Original owners retired and who ever is in charge now wanted to make it a more Home store than a crafty store. You should have heard what women who used their yarn did they were protesting and going on social media until they brought more yarn into the stores. But I went about 3 months ago and there hardly any DMC thread at all and they had it in the front corner of the store where fake plants are. I made a point to say to the manager that wasn’t right they drastically changed the store with cheap China stuff and threw out crafts to a dark little corner. Oh well that’s my personal rant with Hobby Lobby. You take care Vonna ❤
I love all your Santa's! Someday I will stitch Santa's Midnight Ride, some day. I don't know when or how I'll afford it but hopefully the good Lord will find a way! You give some much value to the cross stitch community absolutely free. Getting the most beautiful patterns is your reward here on earth, just imagine the reward when you get to see our heavenly Father!! God Bless Vonna!
Oh dear Vonna I can't tell you how much Stitch with Vonna means to me.I feel like I have a stitching buddy.I wish you a blessed Mother's Day and Happy Birthday to Keith. I am working on Primrose Cottage I would rather bee Stitching.I am hoping to have this finished into a project envelope. Can't wait to hear your mother in laws expressions when she opens Jesus and I look forward to seeing your progress on Santa.Thank you for making the Stitching Community a peaceful place.💗💗💗
What a great video!! Live the Santa stitchery!! I am working on a 1987 Santa from a Cross Stitch &Country Crafts magazine. And, yes, the white beard is a BOOGER to do! Love your progress..
When I need to have some peace, like tonight I turn on your videos and listen to you talk and it always makes me feel better. I am going to send you a picture of my framed Lavender and Lace.
Oh my, your progress is amazing! I love stitching with you, your voice is so relaxing. You share a birthday with two of my grandchildren, a sister and brother born on the same day 16 years apart. No, it is not cheating if you are stitching the same man. Love you collection of Santa future stitches. I watched you stitch on Jesus and now I am looking for that pattern/kit. My sister-in-law would love that stitched for her so yes, I'd be giving Jesus stitched and framed to her. Wishing you a Very Happy Mother's Day, Vonna....enjoy!
Hi Vonna. I enjoyed stitching along with you for an hour or so. I love this beautiful Santa. I have lots of Christmas patterns but I don’t think I have a Santa. I must put that right! You Santa collection is fab. I think you should call yourself the Santa stitcher!! I love Christmas and have many memories with my family. I lost my mum just before Christmas last year. My brother and I have been clearing the family home. We went through the boxes of Christmas decorations which had lots of hand made ornaments. Things that my parents had made and also things that had been made by my mums friends. They are such special things and they now form part of our own Christmas collections. My first grandchild is due any day now and I look forward to passing on our traditions to them. One thing I aim to do is make a stocking for them for their first Christmas. Look forward to catching up with you soon x
Vonna, thank you for this lovely stitch along❤ My Oma used to have me put carrots and cookies into my slippers on St. Nicholas' eve. To wake to chocolates filling my slippers was always magical. My Oma has been gone for over 20 years... thank you for this remembrance ❤ I have the same magnifying floor lamp from Amazon as you..... I love it!!
So enjoyed stitching and visiting with you tonight. I'm stitching on a Mani de Donna small called "Liberty Lane pillow". I went in Hobby Lobby today and found our stitching section is much smaller also. It was discouraging. I only returned to stitching about 2 years ago; I thought cross stitch was a lost art but had decided to just stitch some of the patterns I had collected in the 80's and 90's as it is so relaxing to just stitch. Then I found "Floss tube"!! It was so amazing to see that it IS still a very much an "alive" art!! But I have never lived near anywhere that has much of any supplies. I am grateful for the online shopping!
Online shopping now a days is a blessing ❤ I’ve stuck with the hobby since the early 80s and lots of choices came about in the late 80/early 90’s and since the pandemic lots and lots of choices ❤
I want you to know that you inspire me with your stitching. You are an awesome stitcher. I appreciate all your advice. I used to have a Ottlight magnifier but I recently changed my magnifier to a brightech magnifier. (I definitely need a magnifier to stitch) I do like it allot better than the Ottlight. You are 10 years younger then me but you are more knowledgeable than I am in many ways. Thank you for sharing your stitching with me. I have never stitched a Santa. I mostly stitch HAED. At this time I’m stitching on Virgin In Prayer. I also have Mulan by Zanna cross stitch in my rotation and Ave Maria by Modern Folk Embroidery and some other stuff. God Bless you see you next time. Happy Mother’s Day’s to you.
I am the same way with Mother's Day, when the boys were all home, I used to tell them to take the money they would spend on a gift and take there dad out to a long movie and dinner. I enjoyed the day alone. Chris made me hamburgers and French fries for my very first Mother's Day, it has become a tradition! I had a the very same experience at my Hobby Lobby. I am SO sad. It is where I got all of my fabric. I just refuse to pay the dyers prices. :( I loved this video. I will again say it lulled me to sleep several nights before I finally saw the whole thing. You are such an inspiration to me. You are everything I wish I was. Thanks for being exactly who you are.
Thank you for sharing your time, your thoughts & your stitching. I hope Mother’s Day went well for you & your mother in law, she must have been thrilled with her gift. You take care, Penny ❤
Loved the Santas! My mother stitched the peace/ forest looking one. She would not spend to have things framed professionally. When it became my inherited piece, I took it from the plastic box type frame, and had it framed with a forest green suede mat and gold frame. Stunning. I treasure it so. Miss her so. Thank you for sharing.
After watching this show, Stitch WITH ME, I went and bought 2 Dimention Santa Kits. I really have a tough time seeing but all that I stitch is for me and if they are not quite perfect that is OK. You are a special person, I love listening to you and enjoy stitching along with you on your videos. Thank you for being you. Thank You again!!
Thank you for the wonderful video, you kept me company while stitching and inspired me to stitch a Santa real soon. I have a few Christmas cross stitch books that have some amazing pieces so I will get busy on kitting one up. Thank you also for sharing your gift of this art and your love of it. Happy Mother’s Day and happy stitching ❤
I really enjoyed these “Sit and Stitch” videos, I find them very relaxing as I stitch and listen to you. I wish we were in the same room having this conversation. Your Woodland Santa is so pretty, and your other kits/patterns you have are also gorgeous.
I so enjoyed stitching with you Vonna! I worked on Antonia Roses y Garcia 1886 by Jan Hicks. It was a WIPGo call this month so lots of love for May. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!❤
It is Sunday, May 21 and I finally had time to sit and stitch with Vonna. I am working on a really large piece - The Zimmerman Coverlet by Modern Folk Embroidery. I am almost finished with page 7 of 9 and can see the finish line in sight. It's on a half yard of fabric! I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day and enjoyed the tiramisu.
You are so inspirational to me!! Love your stitches and also the reasons you give for stitching them!! I chuckled as you said you make a Xerox copy on your printer. Technically that would just be a copy or a scanned copy of the chart, but I chuckled because I know what a Xerox machine is - not sure the "kids" these days do know what a Xerox copier is! Thank you for another thoroughly enjoyable stitching video!
You are so lovely! I can not tell you how grateful I am that you share all your gifts with us. You truly restore my faith in human beings. You are so generous. I loved stitching along with you. I'm working on a HATS red sampler. The Santa you are working on is beautifully stitched. I enjoyed seeing all your other kits at the end. You brought back very fond memories of my mother who loved Christmas and had a huge collection of Santa's. St. Nick's is also a tradition we celebrated. Thank you for sparking warm thoughts of my Mom. You are appreciated and valued.
That beard is perfection! White is a struggle for me....even railroading I redo so much. I live in Wyoming...Colorado is gorgeous. My daughter lives in Colorado Springs, and we are in and out quite a bit. I stopped in Sherri's shop (in Fort Collins) on one trip and it's wonderful. I just stitched Helen D's flamingo to make into a bookmark for a friend...I know better than to stitch trying to watch a good movie because he ended up with added neck stitches and looked like a pink giraffe! I just folded him over and started over! Amazing Santas....each one is beautiful...and big! I run from those, but sure love them!
Hi Vonna! It was a pleasure to sit and stitch with you. You made me feel like I was right there with you! I love your Santa collection and the Lost No More is absolutely stunning. Watching Brenda stitch that was wonderful, and your Jesus stitch is stunning as well. Our Hobby Lobby has really downgraded the cross stitch aisle as well, same thing on the kits, very little to choose from, only smalls.
I guess other places will be beefing their selections up (I hope) I’ve already bought a number of kits off the Dimensions Store on Amazon. They have deals on some and I go in weekly to see what the deals are for that week. Thank you so much for stitching with me today ❤
U will definitely love loving on grandkids one day! I'm 69 and w/b married 50 yrs Aug 3rd, 2023. We have 2 grown daughters, 8 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren ages 5 to 3 months. Start stitching that stocking! They are a blessing! I so enjoy your you tube videos.,
I can't tell you how much you have inspired me with not only your stitching but also your finishing work. Watching your videos has given me the courage to take on fully finishing my own stitching projects. I can not thank you enough for all you do!!
So fun stitching with you this afternoon. I was stitching on Brenda Gervais Home Sweet Home. But I did take my "Catholic" sampler to the framer this week. I did G Legere over the last three years and I adjusted it to reflect my journey into the church. It is a big girl and my husband gifted me with the framing for my birthday. I saw your Jesus on Instagram today and I am thinking of making Him a future stitch. Love that Santa Stamp!! What a sweet surprise. Looking forward to seeing you start that one.
Gonna, Love your Santa and your Jesus stitch that you were working on Good Friday. Just love how you stitch. I am working on Bonnie Trail by Sugar Stitches. I picked nine out of twelve to work on and I have two done. I am a very slow stitcher but I enjoy my project! Have a nice Mother’s Day. I enjoy watching your videos and I know that you have God in your life!
Vonna I loved sitting with you and watching your stitching. The peaceful music in the background was wonderful. What an extraordinary gift for your mother-in-law, and your son-in-law, your Jesus piece is. Please know that you are so loved Vonna, and not by just one or two. You are so very special to me...a prayer warrior I can always count on. Blessings, Marlene
I thank God for your gift of giving. If I want to learn how to finish something, I google your name. The Christmas gifts I gave this year were well received because you taught me every finishing technique I used. My son went gaga over Jesus, so you know what he is getting for Christmas. Bless you, Cynthia
Vonna what a marvelous collection of Santas. Your work is beautiful. I love your integrity and sweet loving spirit. I so enjoyed spending time with you 😊
I love watching your videos. Thank you for motivating and teaching us so much. Enjoy Colorado. I have been to all the places you mentioned and happy you get to see the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I live in Pueblo, CO where we have the Steel Mill. Google Bishop’s Castle that is in the mountains just for something man man to read about. Also the Hobby Lobby stores in Colorado are also making me sad with no linen fabric anymore. Love love your Jesus picture and love to hear when you talk about your church since I am also Catholic. ❤️
I've been to CO one other time and I thought it was beautiful. But I wasn't with my family. Will be enjoying so much more with my family with me this time!
Thanks for keeping me company while I stitched! I am working on Teresa Kogut's angel..Oh My Soul..and only have a few more stitches to finish for page one. Your Santa is beautiful.
At the end of a busy weekend, how calming it was for me to sit and stitch with you! Thank you for your time and the ever generous sharing of your talents and skills. The level of your background music was perfect. Happy belated Mother's Day and God bless you!
Love to see you stitching away. Keep doing that on your floss tube. I did actually stitch "The Spirit of Christmas, "Gift of Peace" and currently well not so currently I started it probably 5 years ago the "Song of Christmas" and have not brought it out to do. I do have the pattern "Santa of the Forest" but not have it started or plan to start it yet. I do not have the "Spirit of Christmas" or the "Gift of Peace" because I stitched those two patterns for a silent auction for our Catholic High School for a fund raiser. I was pleased that the amount they received from the cross stitch. I did it on 18 Count Aida at that time .
Hi Vonna! What a beautiful gift for your Mother-in-Law! I'm stitching the Prairie Schooler Santas. I'm up to 1988....a ways to go....lol. Enjoy the day!
@@VonnaPfeiffer Yes, exactly. I've been thinking about doing an earlier one and then a current one and then eventually meet somewhere there in the middle.
I agree, Vonna. It hurts my heart too that the box crafts stores have significantly decreased their stock of counted cross stitch kits, supplies etc. I was thrilled when I finally got to go to Hobby Lobby for the first time a few months ago. Sadly, only to found out when I got there, that they are fading out the cross stitch and yarn sections. Sad that there are hardly and brick and mortar cross stitch stores. Buying on line is convenient but not near as much fun as browsing the aisles of a LNS! Beautiful progress on Santa!
Honestly Vonna, I don't see the 'hobby' in Hobby Lobby. You walk into mine at least, and you see candles, decorative items, dishes, cups, salt/pepper shakers, framed art, and picture frames. There's a fabric section over on the side and way in the back a very spread-out cross-stitch area. Every time I go, I can't find the right size fabric or color or count, so I go online. It seems stitchers find great finishing items at HL, but I never hear about any great fabric buys. So nice to sit and stitch with you. I am stitching my Monopoly board, customized to Phoenix and loving it!
Your Santa is fantastic! My Mother stitched this Santa many years ago & gifted it to someone. Many fond memories of stitching with my Mom. My Papa hand carved Santas as a hobby. They are fantastic and I have #1 of each of his styles. Enjoy!
Santa’s are my favorite. I still have a Santa from when I was a little girl that I put on my tree every Christmas. Your Santa is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I called headquarters at hobby lobby and complained about what they are doing to the needlework aisle. I heard from my local store they wanted more room for household items. I told headquarters they are called hobby lobby for hobbies not household lobby! We have a home goods one door down from hobby lobby and it makes no sense to me. My Michaels store has the most needlework too.
Oh, darn it, Vonna - why do you have to keep showing us your beautiful stitching?! I absolutely love woodland scenes and when I first saw you stitching "Santa of the Forest", I fell in love with it but kept telling myself, "I'm not buying that. I have enough patterns. I'm NOT getting that." Apparently, I can only hold out for so long though! You should know that you've caused just about every online store to sell out of the pattern. I was lucky enough to find the last one that my LNS had in stock (see - it was meant to be after all)! I found some gorgeous 32ct khaki linen with silver sparkles, which I'm hoping won't turn out to be too much. Can't wait to start it this weekend. After a LONG week, I'm looking forward to rewatching your latest "Stitch With Me" video and settling in for what will certainly be a LONG stitching journey. I SO love your "company". Thanks for sharing yourself so generously. Wishing you and your family a happy and blessed summer.
I went back to making paper copies when my ipad stopped working after two years which is how long I have been stitching my one and only HAED. I am stitching as much as I was when using patternkeeper. I like my papercopies.
Hope you enjoy your trip to Colorado! I live in Broomfield and Estes is one of my favorite places for a day trip. Love the park (animals) , the stanley (haunted), the taffy/carmel corn/candy apples (yummy)…well all of it. If you don’t see elk in the park, look around the city golf course….😂 Lori
What a wonderful surprise! I’m sorry I missed your live, but at least I can pick you up on the Re-Watch crew! Vonna, I swear I think we must be related somehow. I’m also a Medical Technologist, only my specialty was Blood Bank! My favorite meal is also hamburgers and French fries! And then there’s the cross stitch! Kathryn is a lovely, lovely person! We are so lucky to know her in this community. I can’t wait to see you stitch the Christmas stamp. Your Santa is just gorgeous. Don’t you just love all those reds? I love stitching with reds. Right now I am working on the Jeannette Douglas 12 bouquets that were freebies from her site last year. I’m up to August- 5 more to go! Keep these Stitch with Me streams going and hopefully I’ll see you live next time! You are such a blessing to all of us! Lots of ❤❤❤
Blood Bank! I was always a nervous wreck in Blood Bank 😂 Hamburgers 🍔 and French Fries 🍟 for the WIN! These aren’t live, I can’t do live by myself because of questions and stuff, so you are good ❤❤
I had to pause the video in order to laugh when you commented that maybe stitching the same guy wasn't cheating. You made my day. I laughed so much. Thank you. 😊
Vonna, you deserve to be connected with people that gift you with special charts. I’m sure you don’t realize how much you offer to us “simple” stitchers. Your gift of stitching and finishing talents, helps us achieve our goals. You humbly and unselfishly give us everything we need to finish our projects, not to mention your tips and tricks that you share with new stitchers. Thank you so much for just being you. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind and profusely generous words! I treasure them ❤❤
I couldn't agree more! Perfectly said.
Vonna...beautiful stitching and peaceful music...can't ask for much more...thank you❤❤
Vonna - I love all you videos, especially the Stitch With Me videos. You have a very calming voice to me and I love hearing your stories. I feel like I know you personally. You are a beautiful soul. Thank you for everything you do. Peace to you dear stitchy friend. ❤

I could watch you talk all day…..you are so uplifting…..you rock is spectacular…..
I think I giggled every time you used the word Xeroxed. I say that also! I enjoyed spending my stitching time with you. Thank you.
Thank you for all you bring to this crazy world. Wathing you makes my day always. Keep being you as I think you are the Best. Hugs and much Love ❤
Thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart ❤
You truely are lovely. Bless you.🙋🏼♀️🇦🇺
OH MY STARS is this a wonderful way to spend time--what an ENRICHING video--THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I could watch you all day Vonna.

Love your progress..
Thank you for a great video. I always enjoy spending time with you.
Thank you for watching and stitching along with me!
I enjoy your stitch with me videos so much and seeing your santa collection is great. I may have some of them myself.
Oh how much fun….sunny and warm in Olympia,Washington
When I need to have some peace, like tonight I turn on your videos and listen to you talk and it always makes me feel better. I am going to send you a picture of my framed Lavender and Lace.
Wow! Nice stitch!! I have this pattern...so beautiful! ❤
Oh my, your progress is amazing! I love stitching with you, your voice is so relaxing. You share a birthday with two of my grandchildren, a sister and brother born on the same day 16 years apart. No, it is not cheating if you are stitching the same man. Love you collection of Santa future stitches. I watched you stitch on Jesus and now I am looking for that pattern/kit. My sister-in-law would love that stitched for her so yes, I'd be giving Jesus stitched and framed to her. Wishing you a Very Happy Mother's Day, Vonna....enjoy!
Thank you so very much for stitching with me! I believe a number of people have told me they found Jesus on Amazon 😊
@@VonnaPfeiffer Thank ;you, Vonna. I'll take a look there.
Hi Vonna thank you for sharing love the Santa I always looking forward to your floss tube 😊
Thank you ❤
Loved the stitch with me!!! I have the kit of Jesus! Can’t wait to stitch it!!!
Aw, Vonna, what a sweet gift for your mother-in-law . . . . .she will love the face of Jesus . . . .who wouldn't?
Thank you! ❤❤
Fabulous video enjoyed watching. JESUS looks so real life looking stunning.
He does ❤❤❤ thank you for watching!
Hi Vonna. I enjoyed stitching along with you for an hour or so. I love this beautiful Santa. I have lots of Christmas patterns but I don’t think I have a Santa. I must put that right! You Santa collection is fab. I think you should call yourself the Santa stitcher!! I love Christmas and have many memories with my family. I lost my mum just before Christmas last year. My brother and I have been clearing the family home. We went through the boxes of Christmas decorations which had lots of hand made ornaments.

Look forward to catching up with you soon x
Prayers for safe delivery of your new grandbaby and lots of years of love ❤
I'm a lover of Santa, too. Have several started. Even though i retired finally not enough time to stitch or do all my crafts!
Thank you for showing how you stitch and sharing why you stitch it that way. Enjoy burgers and fries on Mother's day.
🍔🍟🎉
Vonna, thank you for this lovely stitch along❤ My Oma used to have me put carrots and cookies into my slippers on St. Nicholas' eve. To wake to chocolates filling my slippers was always magical. My Oma has been gone for over 20 years... thank you for this remembrance ❤ I have the same magnifying floor lamp from Amazon as you..... I love it!!
We did same! ❤❤
So enjoyed stitching and visiting with you tonight. I'm stitching on a Mani de Donna small called "Liberty Lane pillow". I went in Hobby Lobby today and found our stitching section is much smaller also. It was discouraging. I only returned to stitching about 2 years ago; I thought cross stitch was a lost art but had decided to just stitch some of the patterns I had collected in the 80's and 90's as it is so relaxing to just stitch. Then I found "Floss tube"!! It was so amazing to see that it IS still a very much an "alive" art!! But I have never lived near anywhere that has much of any supplies. I am grateful for the online shopping!
Online shopping now a days is a blessing ❤ I’ve stuck with the hobby since the early 80s and lots of choices came about in the late 80/early 90’s and since the pandemic lots and lots of choices ❤
I want you to know that you inspire me with your stitching. You are an awesome stitcher. I appreciate all your advice. I used to have a Ottlight magnifier but I recently changed my magnifier to a brightech magnifier. (I definitely need a magnifier to stitch) I do like it allot better than the Ottlight. You are 10 years younger then me but you are more knowledgeable than I am in many ways. Thank you for sharing your stitching with me. I have never stitched a Santa. I mostly stitch HAED. At this time I’m stitching on Virgin In Prayer. I also have Mulan by Zanna cross stitch in my rotation and Ave Maria by Modern Folk Embroidery and some other stuff. God Bless you see you next time. Happy Mother’s Day’s to you.
Thank you so much for stitching with me ❤ and your projects are beautiful each one…I looked them all up and just wonderful ❤
Vonna, you are amazing!
I am the same way with Mother's Day, when the boys were all home, I used to tell them to take the money they would spend on a gift and take there dad out to a long movie and dinner. I enjoyed the day alone. Chris made me hamburgers and French fries for my very first Mother's Day, it has become a tradition! I had a the very same experience at my Hobby Lobby. I am SO sad. It is where I got all of my fabric. I just refuse to pay the dyers prices. :( I loved this video. I will again say it lulled me to sleep several nights before I finally saw the whole thing. You are such an inspiration to me. You are everything I wish I was. Thanks for being exactly who you are.
You aren’t the only person I put to sleep apparently 😂😂 several people have told me the same!
Thank you for sharing your time, your thoughts & your stitching. I hope Mother’s Day went well for you & your mother in law, she must have been thrilled with her gift. You take care, Penny ❤
Yes, she loved it!
Loved the Santas! My mother stitched the peace/ forest looking one. She would not spend to have things framed professionally. When it became my inherited piece, I took it from the plastic box type frame, and had it framed with a forest green suede mat and gold frame.
Stunning. I treasure it so. Miss her so. Thank you for sharing.
I bet it’s beautiful ❤ would you send a picture to me?
@@VonnaPfeiffer yes, I will soon. Sweet of you to ask.
After watching this show, Stitch WITH ME, I went and bought 2 Dimention Santa Kits. I really have a tough time seeing but all that I stitch is for me and if they are not quite perfect that is OK. You are a special person, I love listening to you and enjoy stitching along with you on your videos. Thank you for being you. Thank You again!!
❤❤ they really are lovely stitches
Thank you for the wonderful video, you kept me company while stitching and inspired me to stitch a Santa real soon. I have a few Christmas cross stitch books that have some amazing pieces so I will get busy on kitting one up. Thank you also for sharing your gift of this art and your love of it. Happy Mother’s Day and happy stitching ❤
Thank you for watching ❤
Thank you for sharing, the stitching was very relaxing.
Thank you for watching ❤
I really enjoyed these “Sit and Stitch” videos, I find them very relaxing as I stitch and listen to you. I wish we were in the same room having this conversation. Your Woodland Santa is so pretty, and your other kits/patterns you have are also gorgeous.
Thank you for stitching with me ❤❤
It’s beautiful.
Thank you. Love your Jesus that you keep giving away. I never tire of looking at it.
I enjoy you talking and sharing
I throughly enjoyed your share from beginning to the end. Have a blessed evening!
Thank you so much for stitching with me❤
I so enjoyed stitching with you Vonna! I worked on Antonia Roses y Garcia 1886 by Jan Hicks. It was a WIPGo call this month so lots of love for May. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day!❤
Thank you and thank you for watching and stitching along!
Great video and visit. 🌻🌻🌻
Time well spent with you. Peace be with you 🇦🇺❤️
Thank you so much for stitching with me!
Your Santa is gorgeous and Thankyou for sharing it. Happy Mothers’Day😊
Thanks for watching ❤
Thank you for always being generous with your time and talent. You are so appreciated.❤️
Thank you for watching ❤
Beautiful
Your two-handed stitching is beautiful.
Thank you!
It is Sunday, May 21 and I finally had time to sit and stitch with Vonna. I am working on a really large piece - The Zimmerman Coverlet by Modern Folk Embroidery. I am almost finished with page 7 of 9 and can see the finish line in sight. It's on a half yard of fabric! I hope you had a lovely Mother's Day and enjoyed the tiramisu.
Well, we all love you!!!
You are so inspirational to me!! Love your stitches and also the reasons you give for stitching them!! I chuckled as you said you make a Xerox copy on your printer. Technically that would just be a copy or a scanned copy of the chart, but I chuckled because I know what a Xerox machine is - not sure the "kids" these days do know what a Xerox copier is! Thank you for another thoroughly enjoyable stitching video!
😂 yes I make a printed scanned copy 😂
I sat and stitched with you tonight on a small Blackbird stitch. Just know how much you give to so many people ❤️
Thank you so much for stitching with me ❤
You are so lovely! I can not tell you how grateful I am that you share all your gifts with us. You truly restore my faith in human beings. You are so generous. I loved stitching along with you. I'm working on a HATS red sampler. The Santa you are working on is beautifully stitched. I enjoyed seeing all your other kits at the end. You brought back very fond memories of my mother who loved Christmas and had a huge collection of Santa's. St. Nick's is also a tradition we celebrated. Thank you for sparking warm thoughts of my Mom. You are appreciated and valued.
Awww thank you so much for your kind and generous words ❤❤
That beard is perfection! White is a struggle for me....even railroading I redo so much. I live in Wyoming...Colorado is gorgeous. My daughter lives in Colorado Springs, and we are in and out quite a bit. I stopped in Sherri's shop (in Fort Collins) on one trip and it's wonderful.
I just stitched Helen D's flamingo to make into a bookmark for a friend...I know better than to stitch trying to watch a good movie because he ended up with added neck stitches and looked like a pink giraffe! I just folded him over and started over! Amazing Santas....each one is beautiful...and big! I run from those, but sure love them!
Hi Vonna! It was a pleasure to sit and stitch with you. You made me feel like I was right there with you! I love your Santa collection and the Lost No More is absolutely stunning. Watching Brenda stitch that was wonderful, and your Jesus stitch is stunning as well. Our Hobby Lobby has really downgraded the cross stitch aisle as well, same thing on the kits, very little to choose from, only smalls.
I guess other places will be beefing their selections up (I hope) I’ve already bought a number of kits off the Dimensions Store on Amazon. They have deals on some and I go in weekly to see what the deals are for that week. Thank you so much for stitching with me today ❤
U will definitely love loving on grandkids one day! I'm 69 and w/b married 50 yrs Aug 3rd, 2023. We have 2 grown daughters, 8 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren ages 5 to 3 months. Start stitching that stocking! They are a blessing! I so enjoy your you tube videos.,
Those pictures will be beautiful ❤️❤️😻
Thank you!
Dear Vonna - You Are A Blessing From God, I Love Everything You Do. You Bring So Much Joy Every Time I Listen To You. Muchas Gracias For All You Do. ❤
Thank you for stitching with me ❤❤❤
I can't tell you how much you have inspired me with not only your stitching but also your finishing work. Watching your videos has given me the courage to take on fully finishing my own stitching projects. I can not thank you enough for all you do!!
Aww sincerely my pleasure ❤❤
I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you!
thank you for stitching along with me!
I just found this pattern I probably bought 25 years ago or more, has $7 price tag on it..have always loved it!
So fun stitching with you this afternoon. I was stitching on Brenda Gervais Home Sweet Home. But I did take my "Catholic" sampler to the framer this week. I did G Legere over the last three years and I adjusted it to reflect my journey into the church. It is a big girl and my husband gifted me with the framing for my birthday. I saw your Jesus on Instagram today and I am thinking of making Him a future stitch. Love that Santa Stamp!! What a sweet surprise. Looking forward to seeing you start that one.
Thank you for watching and stitching along with me today! I'll be anxious to see your framed piece. I imagine it is wonderful!
Gonna, Love your Santa and your Jesus stitch that you were working on Good Friday. Just love how you stitch. I am working on Bonnie Trail by Sugar Stitches. I picked nine out of twelve to work on and I have two done. I am a very slow stitcher but I enjoy my project! Have a nice Mother’s Day. I enjoy watching your videos and I know that you have God in your life!
Thank you so very much for watching ❤
Vonna I loved sitting with you and watching your stitching. The peaceful music in the background was wonderful. What an extraordinary gift for your mother-in-law, and your son-in-law, your Jesus piece is. Please know that you are so loved Vonna, and not by just one or two. You are so very special to me...a prayer warrior I can always count on. Blessings, Marlene
❤❤ you are my dear buddy and I think of and pray for you daily 😊
Love brightech…. Table clamp
I thank God for your gift of giving. If I want to learn how to finish something, I google your name. The Christmas gifts I gave this year were well received because you taught me every finishing technique I used. My son went gaga over Jesus, so you know what he is getting for Christmas. Bless you, Cynthia
I am so glad I can help you in a small way ❤
❤❤❤ touching video... you spoke to my heart...
Thank you for watching ❤
I love all your 101 Santas!! 😊😊😁😁
I know right? and I have 101 more waiting in the wings! LOL!
Once again, enjoyed stitching with you. You ARE the Santa Stitcher. 👏👏👏
😂 I know…😁
Vonna what a marvelous collection of Santas. Your work is beautiful. I love your integrity and sweet loving spirit. I so enjoyed spending time with you 😊
Awww thank you ❤
I love watching your videos. Thank you for motivating and teaching us so much. Enjoy Colorado. I have been to all the places you mentioned and happy you get to see the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I live in Pueblo, CO where we have the Steel Mill. Google Bishop’s Castle that is in the mountains just for something man man to read about. Also the Hobby Lobby stores in Colorado are also making me sad with no linen fabric anymore. Love love your Jesus picture and love to hear when you talk about your church since I am also Catholic. ❤️
I've been to CO one other time and I thought it was beautiful. But I wasn't with my family. Will be enjoying so much more with my family with me this time!
Thanks for keeping me company while I stitched! I am working on Teresa Kogut's angel..Oh My Soul..and only have a few more stitches to finish for page one. Your Santa is beautiful.
I bet yours is gorgeous ❤
Vonna, your kind and generous spirit shines brightly in all that you do! Thank you for being a blessing!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you for watching ❤
Love your choices...Santa is always a favorite with me, too. I will be looking for the Santa stamp; just think it is adorable.
It is adorable ❤
You have absolutely the BIGGEST heart. You are the BEST! Thank you. For all you do.
Love this. I will wait and watch the whole show when I can stitch along
Thank you for stitching with me ❤
At the end of a busy weekend, how calming it was for me to sit and stitch with you! Thank you for your time and the ever generous sharing of your talents and skills. The level of your background music was perfect. Happy belated Mother's Day and God bless you!
Thank you for stitching with me!
Love to see you stitching away. Keep doing that on your floss tube. I did actually stitch "The Spirit of Christmas, "Gift of Peace" and currently well not so currently I started it probably 5 years ago the "Song of Christmas" and have not brought it out to do. I do have the pattern "Santa of the Forest" but not have it started or plan to start it yet. I do not have the "Spirit of Christmas" or the "Gift of Peace" because I stitched those two patterns for a silent auction for our Catholic High School for a fund raiser. I was pleased that the amount they received from the cross stitch. I did it on 18 Count Aida at that time .
I bet they were beautiful
Hi Vonna! What a beautiful gift for your Mother-in-Law! I'm stitching the Prairie Schooler Santas. I'm up to 1988....a ways to go....lol. Enjoy the day!
I've stitched the majority of them so I know your struggle :)
@@VonnaPfeiffer Yes, exactly. I've been thinking about doing an earlier one and then a current one and then eventually meet somewhere there in the middle.
I agree, Vonna. It hurts my heart too that the box crafts stores have significantly decreased their stock of counted cross stitch kits, supplies etc. I was thrilled when I finally got to go to Hobby Lobby for the first time a few months ago. Sadly, only to found out when I got there, that they are fading out the cross stitch and yarn sections. Sad that there are hardly and brick and mortar cross stitch stores. Buying on line is convenient but not near as much fun as browsing the aisles of a LNS!
Beautiful progress on Santa!
Thank you for watching and stitching with me ❤
Honestly Vonna, I don't see the 'hobby' in Hobby Lobby. You walk into mine at least, and you see candles, decorative items, dishes, cups, salt/pepper shakers, framed art, and picture frames. There's a fabric section over on the side and way in the back a very spread-out cross-stitch area. Every time I go, I can't find the right size fabric or color or count, so I go online. It seems stitchers find great finishing items at HL, but I never hear about any great fabric buys. So nice to sit and stitch with you. I am stitching my Monopoly board, customized to Phoenix and loving it!
Agree, my trips to Hobby Lobby won’t be nearly as frequent, sadly 😢
Happy Mother’s Day!
Thank you ❤
Your Santa is fantastic! My Mother stitched this Santa many years ago & gifted it to someone. Many fond memories of stitching with my Mom. My Papa hand carved Santas as a hobby. They are fantastic and I have #1 of each of his styles. Enjoy!
I’d love to see a picture of your Daddy’s Santas ❤
Santa’s are my favorite. I still have a Santa from when I was a little girl that I put on my tree every Christmas. Your Santa is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I called headquarters at hobby lobby and complained about what they are doing to the needlework aisle. I heard from my local store they wanted more room for household items. I told headquarters they are called hobby lobby for hobbies not household lobby! We have a home goods one door down from hobby lobby and it makes no sense to me. My Michaels store has the most needlework too.
I’m gonna call too!
@@VonnaPfeiffer Maybe if more people called Hobby Lobby and complained they might add more supplies back. Thanks!
Oh, darn it, Vonna - why do you have to keep showing us your beautiful stitching?! I absolutely love woodland scenes and when I first saw you stitching "Santa of the Forest", I fell in love with it but kept telling myself, "I'm not buying that. I have enough patterns. I'm NOT getting that." Apparently, I can only hold out for so long though! You should know that you've caused just about every online store to sell out of the pattern. I was lucky enough to find the last one that my LNS had in stock (see - it was meant to be after all)! I found some gorgeous 32ct khaki linen with silver sparkles, which I'm hoping won't turn out to be too much. Can't wait to start it this weekend. After a LONG week, I'm looking forward to rewatching your latest "Stitch With Me" video and settling in for what will certainly be a LONG stitching journey. I SO love your "company". Thanks for sharing yourself so generously. Wishing you and your family a happy and blessed summer.
I hope you find it as pleasant of a stitch as I do...I am so loving this one!
I went back to making paper copies when my ipad stopped working after two years which is how long I have been stitching my one and only HAED. I am stitching as much as I was when using patternkeeper. I like my papercopies.
Enjoyable!
Thank you ❤
Hope you enjoy your trip to Colorado! I live in Broomfield and Estes is one of my favorite places for a day trip. Love the park (animals) , the stanley (haunted), the taffy/carmel corn/candy apples (yummy)…well all of it. If you don’t see elk in the park, look around the city golf course….😂 Lori
What a wonderful surprise! I’m sorry I missed your live, but at least I can pick you up on the Re-Watch crew! Vonna, I swear I think we must be related somehow. I’m also a Medical Technologist, only my specialty was Blood Bank! My favorite meal is also hamburgers and French fries! And then there’s the cross stitch! Kathryn is a lovely, lovely person! We are so lucky to know her in this community. I can’t wait to see you stitch the Christmas stamp. Your Santa is just gorgeous. Don’t you just love all those reds? I love stitching with reds. Right now I am working on the Jeannette Douglas 12 bouquets that were freebies from her site last year. I’m up to August- 5 more to go! Keep these Stitch with Me streams going and hopefully I’ll see you live next time! You are such a blessing to all of us! Lots of ❤❤❤
Blood Bank! I was always a nervous wreck in Blood Bank 😂 Hamburgers 🍔 and French Fries 🍟 for the WIN! These aren’t live, I can’t do live by myself because of questions and stuff, so you are good ❤❤
I also use the Bright Tech floor lamp. I also have the table top model for traveling/retreats.
I had to pause the video in order to laugh when you commented that maybe stitching the same guy wasn't cheating. You made my day. I laughed so much. Thank you. 😊
Laughing is good for the soul ❤😂
I can't believe how fast you stitch! 😮
