Congratulations on 9 years! Coco is so much fun to watch. Your progress always amazes me. Have a wonderful month of stitching. ❤
Thank you for the kind words - I am glad you enjoy watching Coco! Happy stitching for February!
Congratulations again on 9 years. You are such a joy to watch. Well done on all the finishes - January certainly was a bumper month of stitching for you. I am travelling with family so not getting as much done. But grandchildren time is precious so I’m making the most of being with them. Thank you for sharing everything. Oh, did Cheryl like the quilt. Happy stitching.
I hope you have a wonderful time with your family and grandchildren! It sounds like you are making the most of this special time. I don't have grandchildren in my life yet so if and when that time comes, I will be stitching less I'm sure. Dena
Congratulations on 9 years!! 🎉 My how time flies! May you and your family be showered with blessings in 2025, and may that car be under warranty!!!
Petra, from your lips to God's ears about the car! Yes indeed we are hoping it is under warranty because they have confirmed he needs a new engine. UGH! Dena
Thank you for sharing your stitching. I’m starting to enjoy my stitching. I almost completed the boarder. Thank you for the encouragement. Happy stitching. ❤
Linda, just relax and enjoy the process. You may fall in love with it as you go. Dena
Beautiful progress for the last few days in January. I'm so glad your plans worked out. I love when a new month comes around, and I can work on some new and wip projects. I slacked off in January on my BAPs, so now I'm making plans to buckle down and get some serious stitches put in. I hope (and i just know) that your friend loved her quilt! Who wouldn't. It is gorgeous. Happy stitching. ❤
Judy, sometimes we just need to do a little something different for a month. You will be ready with renewed spirit this month to tackle your big projects. Wishing you much stitching time. Dena
Great video Dena I pretty sure I have watched you since the beginning 🎉I always love to see allbthe stitching and life you share Take care and Enjoy......
MaryJo, I believe you have been with me the entire 9 years! You have always been so kind and consistently positive about what I'm working on. Thank you for your long time friendship. Dena
So fun that you two surprise finishes at the end of the month! I hope your friend enjoyed her quilt. 🥰
Sarah, she really did love it. She had seen the fabric before and had tried to find it to purchase but couldn't get any so this was truly a special surprise. Dena
@ Wonderful!
Dena...well done on your accomplishments for stitching...blessings for you and your family❤
Thanks Loretta for the blessings! Hope you have a great stitching month in February. Dena
Hi Dena, it was so much fun seeing all your stitching with so much progress. I need more days in February! 💕
Well, I started working on my February goals a little at the end of January because it is a short month! I did my first February WIPGO goal in January! Anyway, I am working on my last two British Baking Championship stitches today for this week. Then I will watch the next episode. Dena
A very busy stitching month. Cocoa is so cute watching the cat. Happy stitching Patty
Cocoa sends her love even though you have cats. LOLOLOL. I hope you are getting to stitch some. Looking forward to seeing a video from you! Dena
Dena, always a pleasure to watch your video. I have loved seeing all of your polar plunge stitches and feel you may have enabled me there! Listening to your plans and different group activities has also inspired me to try two different acrostics each month. Hopefully I can keep up! Happy stitching.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy stitching those acrostics! I dearly love them. Really helps me plan on touching WIPs I need to stitch by choosing them for the letters and then makes me stitch them to complete the acrostic. Good motivators. Dena
You had a very prolific stitching month in January. I always love seeing your progress. Happy stitching! - TaMara
TaMara, I sure do like to meet my little goals each month. It does make me feel successful I guess. I hope your family is all healthy and well and you are getting great stitching time. Dena
There is perfection in imperfection!!!!! Your sweater project is just perfect as far as I'm concerned. I think you are a "fudger like I am, LOL!!!! I don't think I've ever had a project that didn't have some of my fudging in it. After all, there are NO rules in stitching. Carry on Dena, carry on, LOL!!! No one will know, unless you tell, LOL!! 🙂
You know, I completely agree - there's a kind of beauty in those little imperfections that only we stitchers know about! 😁
Another great video. I just love all your videos. And seeing Cocoa is always a treat. Congrats on meeting all your January goals. You are such an inspiration!! I've started on my Feb goals. It's always fun. Have a great stitchy week.
Carla, it is always such a great feeling of accomplishment when I finish a goal. I think that is why I like setting them (and they enable me to make progress). Happy Stitching on your February goals. Dena
Dena,
Wow I won 😊. Thank you
Peaches
I worked on Woodland Christmas while watching. You got so much done in January! Cocoa was such a good girl with the kitty! Very impressed!
Carolyn, she does not do well with cats. Don't know why as she was never exposed to them. There is one in our neighborhood (not the one shown in the video) and he is a very cantankerous kitty. He taunts Cocoa and she doesn't like Mr. Pickles at all. It is funny to see. She will head to Loki's to play with him and stop dead still if Mr. Pickles is in the yard (he lives with Loki). So very funny to see. Dena
Dena!!! I can’t believe I won Sleeping Beauty! Wow! Thank so much! Oh- tell Cocoa , great job on just walking away from the cat! 🤣
Stacy so very happy for you. I have your email, so thanks for sending your mailing address so quickly. Dena
Hi Dena. I think you saved the sweater perfectly! I actually like the way the tree that got cut off looks. If you didn’t say anything I would not have known you had to make an adjustment. Good job! Congratulations on nine years doing flosstube. Thank you!
I'm glad you like the way the sweater turned out. I am sure it will be slightly smaller than the others when I fully finish them, but I may just use the same template and allow a little more fabric to show around the edges. I appreciate you watching! Dena
Wow a busy month of stitching and such progress congratulations x
Sharon, it was a busy month and one of great progress. February will be a bit shorter, but I have been stitching loads! Hope you are getting lots of stitching time yourself. Dena
I was watching The Camping Stitcher this morning and she made a very nice compliment regarding your floss tube. Enjoyed the video!
Thank you so much for sharing that the Camping Stitcher made a nice comment. I will have to go over there and thank her. Dena
Always great to start my day with your video chats! They get my day started on the right note and todays was a little more exciting when I heard my name!!
Looking forward to many more years of great video chats too! Congratulation on 9 years, and best wishes for many more!
I definitely feel like I need a few more days in this new month of February...lots of travel for me and lots of goals I'd like to accomplish as well...time will tell!
Have a great day and stitch happy!
Chat again soon!
Karla, thanks so much for spending some of your day with me. I am so delighted that you won a pattern and it has been placed in the mail to you already. Enjoy stitching it. Dena
I am amazed at all you get accomplished in a month / year. Planning is the key I'm sure. Thanks for sharing
Sharon, I do love the planning almost as much as the stitching. Almost! LOL. Happy stitching this month! Dena
Hello Dena congratulations on nine years doing floss tube. Did your friend like the quilt? You have achieved an enormous amount this year and so good to see your beautiful stitching .
Neil, my friend really did like her quilt. I need to share about that! I forgot. Thanks for asking. Dena
Congratulations on all your finishes!!!! Dena, I love your hair, looks so pretty. I forgot to mention on your last video I have stitched the Nora Corbet " H" also and I love it. The beads were a pain, as I'm not a fan of beading, but I got it done and I love it. Thanks for all your videos!!
Jenn, so glad you liked the H from Nora Corbett. I am enjoying stitching on mine. Dena
👋💜💜💜
Good progress. My Plans worked out well in January, yet not a good start for February though. The stitched Sweater looks Fine to Me.
Thanks Debra! I am very glad to have another one done in that series. They really do look cute. Dena
Congratulations again on 9 years. 🎉
I so enjoy your shows they keep me company while I stitch.
I don't think you mentioned a recipient of the Lizzie Kate.
Did your friend like your quilt you'd made her. Take care x
Lin, it was a Mystery sampler and I probably didn't mention the name Lizzie Kate when I announced it. At least I think I announced it. I will go back and make sure. Dena
Dena...after watching your last video, I stitched my January Word Play on light blue opal. Thanks for your suggestion.
Carole, so glad you decided on the light blue for January. I am working on mine and it will be the final one of the 12 when I finish it. Dena
Hi Dena WOW!!!!.......I'm a giveaway winner.......Thank you so much!! I won the Lizzie Kate Christmas sampler chart and I've decided to start this in July as my 'Christmas in July' new start, it's lovely and excited to stitch on it - I've sent you an email with my address details. I love the fabric that you are stitching Royal Games 2 on, please can you tell what it is?
I love watching your videos to see all your stitching and planning, very inspirational. Happy stitching & Thanks so much again 😃Best wishes Natalie x
Natalie, so glad you saw the video and responded! Thanks! The fabric I am using on Royal Games is Pixie Dust from Silkweaver. How wonderful that you will be starting the new patterns you won in July for Christmas in July! I will get them in the mail to you! Dena
Hi you didn’t tell us what your friend thought of the quilt. Hope she liked it.
Cheryl, that was a huge oversight on my part. Will mention that in my next video! But, she loved it! Dena
Beautiful stitching Dena. I don't think you mentioned what your friend thought of the quilt you made her...was I asleep at the wheel?
I don't think I did mention it yet! Thanks for the reminder. She loved it by the way! Dena
I would really like to see the photo of that cake 🎂
I will insert it in my next video just for you! Dena
