Hello, from Australia cross stitching isn't that big here in Australia and it is really great to see that there is a good following in America for cross stitching and that a lot of young people are getting into cross stitching.
Glad you survived the Hurricane, I was concerned. I enjoy the colour conversion ideas you have and the choice of different fabrics. I am also learning this skill from you, and I need to be brave. Glad your goals are going better. I do enjoy seeing your progress and you have such good stitches. 😊
Thank you! if you ever need help converting please feel free to reach out. I normally try to have an idea on how I would like the entire piece to look beforehand. When picking out floss for the conversion, just focus on one object at a time instead of the entire piece. I find that's normally easier for me.
I really envy your ability to look at a fabric and know immediately what would work great with it. I'm hopeless at that! Good Companion is looking so good!
I struggle in picking fabrics 😭I'm happy that it appears easy. I just have a few projects that live in my mind for months that I would like to start on. Pairing it with a fabric is the hardest part.
Thank you for the shout out!! You are getting so close on your Emma Congden piece! That fabric for Deadly Aquarium is beautiful, and I totally understand the sadness with feeling like you have wasted some fabric, but better to have too much than not enough. I have found myself being TOO frugal with fabric at times and then having to scrap a project because I "mathed" wrong. That project will be beautiful, and when it comes time to frame you can leave a large border and really show off that fabric! :)
Hi Yoshi! You had another great month with a lot of progress! Good Companion is looking so good and was great to see the update. The pillow on Lilly looks amazing and I can't believe you almost got it completely done! Love the colors on LolaCrow (bummer about the fabric) and Christmas Hymns. The Summer piece is looking great on the yellow fabric and is perfect for the SAL! Great stitching as always :)
I am in love with the yellow fabric, which is amazing because yellow is not one of my favourite colours. Smooth Sea will be joining the SAL instead of Lord of the Rings 🤣
So glad that you and your family are doing well after hurricane. Congrats to your sister on the new baby, and to you for being an uncle again! Your projects look great.
Congratulations on the new niece! How exciting!!! And I would say you had some good reasons for not stitching, but you still got a decent amount of stitching in! Not sure what color you should convert the cloth to, if you want it to kind of contrast with her dress, maybe like a green? Like emerald green tone. That might contrast enough but still look really good! Makes me think of Christmas though so idk if you want to do that 🤣🤣
Thanks for your input! You basically said what I was thinking for the colour. I had royal green or blue in mind. Lilly might become Lilly of Christmas at this point 😂
Hi Yoshi! Congratulations on your new baby niece! That’s so exciting! What about green or teal for Lily of the Valley? Or yellow? I’m not being much help, am I? LOL But she’s coming out so good! I also love the colors you picked on that Hymn of Christmas piece. I’m going to try to film my flosstube #2 tomorrow. 🙂
I love your color recommendations because that is what I was thinking of. I was thinking maybe royal green or blue. It's gonna be hard to decided 🤔 I'm definitely head on over to your channel!
Beautiful progress this month! Really love how that gold frame is turning out on the Aquarium! And Lily is turning out so well. Are you thinking contrasting color or something in line with the rest of the colors? I was thinking either a brighter blue than the pillow or possibly rich shades of brown.
Thanks for your input Liz! I originally was thinking of a tan colour for the cloth, but it kinda feels like I'm playing it too safe. Other colour options I have in mind are like a royal green or blue. Whatever I choose I just want it to feel cohesive with the rest of Lilly.
Nightingale is going to pop on that fabric. Great choice. You are motivating me to pull her out more often.
💜💜💜
Thank you, I find that the navy blue is dark enough to distinguish from the fabric. It looks great though!

Beautiful projects! Spending time with family is a good reason not to stitch. You are making memories with them
So many memories indeed.I'm amazed at how quick they grow up 🥲

I did contemplate restarting Deadly Aquarium, but that would be too much work at this point.
I'm aiming to get my first finish!🤞

Thank you! I love being an uncle.
Nightingale is going to look amazing on that fabric. I’m working on her as well.
Thank you, I'm actually enjoying how she is coming out. How is your Nightingale? Are you far along with yours?
@@TheCrossStitchGuy about the same. She’s due for some love.
@@nikkimatthews6045 I recently gave mine some love just to remind her that she is not forgotten lol
Congratulations on having a new nice!

Thank you for another great video. I'm glad you didn't lose power it was a bad storm. I'm pulling out Nightingale next week to work on
Nightingale is a fun one. Her dress colours are so beautiful.

I'm thinking gold for the cloth. All your WIPs are beautiful.
Thank you, I didn't consider gold as an option, but I'll totally consider it now. I do plan on making her wings gold.
@@TheCrossStitchGuy Okay. So maybe gold isn't good for the cloth. I'll take another look.

@@TheCrossStitchGuy I think all three of those could work. Just a matter of finding the right shade.
