    Omg you are hilarious! Your excitement over samplers just made me laugh so hard. Try Hands across the Seas for some amazing samplers with birds! This video just popped up in my UA-cam suggestions, and now I have to go back and start from the beginning and watch them all. Added bonus you look just like a guy I knew when I lived in San Diego. Now back in the Midwest in IL. I am planning my drive to OH for Stitchcon 2023 and will have to check out the shops you mentioned. There are zero local shops in my area so when I actually get to go into one I am so excited and don't know where to look first at all the displays!
    Side note: Stash accumulation is another hobby in itself when it comes to cross stitch! In case you didn't know, you can find frames second hand at thrift stores for your finishes that will help cut down on the expense of framing.
    I have an excel spreadsheet I list all my patterns on at this point to try to avoid multiple buys of the same pattern. Sometimes it works lol. When I can't decide what to start next I have them all on strips of paper in a jars by theme. I just pull a strip out of the jar to decide which one is next. Or you could try a decision wheel app.

    Hi Mr. Hollick, Finally A Farmgirl sent me to your channel, and I I'm binge watching all of them. I love your enthusiasm, I buy what makes me happy too! It's an ugly cycle, I don't have enough time to stitch all I want because I work, but I have to work to be able to buy all I want to stitch! I went to a retreat in Indianapolis in July, it was the Stitch, etc. retreat with Stitching with the Housewives as the guest stitchers. I can't wait to get to be able to go to another one.
    The Steel City stitchers live in Pittsburgh, not Philly. If you drive to Pittsburgh for the retreat make a stop at Keepsakes, it's in Ohio, it's worth the detour. I drove to the retreat from Philly in July and it wasn't really that far out of the way , only added about an extra 40 minutes (drive time, not wandering around the store shopping time). It's awesome, so much to see & so much to add to your stash! Keep making your floss tubes, I've been thinking about trying it but haven't been brave enough yet - Melanie

    You are such a "Fun" guy!!! Some of your comments make me laugh. I agree with the statement "across the pond" being weird. I suggest picking one of your larger patterns and work on it on a specific day of the week, and then fill in the other days you stitch with smaller projects. Keep up the videos and happy stitching.

    First, hello Mr. Hollick, The Tiny House Stitcher sent me, she really enjoys your floss tubes and I can see why! I'll be going back and checking out your earlier videos! Second, the steel city is Pittsburgh and I think the steel city retreat may be in Pittsburgh, not Philly, but I'm not registered so they may have moved it to Philly, but I'd be sure before you hit the road! Pittsburgh is probably 2 hours closer to you. :) Third, I love the red bird sampler, I fully intend to stitch those as well -- your work is neat! I have the hummingbird one right now -- for my daughter the hummingbird is the spirit of my mother, who was from Johnstown, which is just outside of Pittsburgh. Fourth, thanks for the tour, I'll be in Ft. Wayne, that shop is great! I'll definitely see if I can stop in -- my sister in law lives there and we're going up for a game, and I'm being honored, along with several of my friends on the women's rowing team from the 1970s, as one of the first women athletes at Notre Dame (it's the 50th anniversary of women at ND and they didn't have varsity women's sports back then). Fifth, I think there is a retreat in Greenwood, IN, I could be mistaken, and a new brick and mortar store -- check with the Proper Stitcher, she went, Stitch, Etc. maybe? Loved seeing all your stuff! I'm not sure if we'll have time to make it to LaPorte, but maybe on Sunday after the fancy dancy brunch for us. :) Oh, but they'll probably be closed....

      @@MrHollick Well I was actually the coxswain. But several of the women I coxed are still rowing and competing as the "Golden Domers." One year they called me up because the cox they'd been working with was unavailable for the Head of the Charles so I made the trip to Boston, but a woman who's been coxing with older crews and recently flew herself out from San Francisco do cox them (!) and I was off the hook. Good thing as I haven't been in a boat in decades (and many pounds ago!). BUT some of the women are Erg competitors, including one who owns a coffee business in South Bend, and I believe she places, at least she did a couple (few) years ago -- she's in her 60s now of course, but her name is Jill DeLuca -- Bendix Coffee I looked it up. I googled her and got nothing related to rowing.

    I have just been checking out your flosstube videos & catching up. My suggestion for your Christmas Eve Sampler is to stitch it with a dark green thread that has some subtle variation to it. Leo & Roxy thread from Evertote or something else. Then still use a yellow but something not quite so jarring. Tone the yellow down a little. I think it would be beautiful! Enjoyed your enthusiasm for your new hobby. Keep it up!

    Great haul! I’d slow down on kitting every chart bought, though: tastes change and you may find you want to try different fabrics, do colour conversions and so on. There’s no rush to get the supplies. Just a thought.

    Awesome video ! Your Red bird sampler looks great ! Congratulations on your FFO’s ! So glad you’re back I enjoy your videos ! I fell down the Rabbit hole when I returned to cross stitching in 2020 ! I also love Lizzie Kate designs, and Primrose Cottage and Hands on Designs ! Nice haul ! Enjoy your stitching and the hobby !♥️

    Hello Mr Hollick, I love your enthusiasm! Wonderful finishes and you pick such great projects. You gave me suggestions to ones I would like to do. I have the Hummingbird bird design. It would be fun to stitch that with you whenever you get around to that. I almost purchased that BBD Christmas one last weekend. It's one that has been on my list as with many of theirs. You did a great job showing the patterns and fabric. The glare wasn't too bad at all. And last of all I hate the term "glamping". People have been using campers/RVs for probably about 100yrs...it's not new so just call it camping. Ha! Well thats my pet peeve. Loved 💙 your video and look forward to your next.

    Love the Redbird Sampler. You did a great job stitching it & I can't wait to see it framed. Your FFOs are lovely....I like the frames you selected. So nice to watch floss tube with the male prospective. It is also a great place to make new friends. I enjoy going into the stitch shops and looking at the models. Most times, something just grabs my attention and I have to have it. Heaven only knows when it will get stitched. I have enough haul to last me a hundred years and yet I still buy more! Why???? The Christmas corner in the LNS is really awesome. I'd be there for hours.

    Just found your channel - enjoyed all your stitching projects- current and future - I always have several in line to start as I finish something - and just go with the one that pulls me in at that time - and I think we all have a stash of charts - fabric- and floss - and no matter how much we accumulate there is always more to add when we see something we like - because we may need it sometime and won’t be able to get it then -keep up the good work

    • @MrHollick

    You won’t stitch everything, your tastes will change, but you’ll finish plenty. If you bought a magazine, paper, it would cost the same as a lot of designs. You can look at your purchases and this alone gives lots of enjoyment. When you are ready for another project it will probably jump out at you. In the meantime enjoy your hobby.

    Accumulating patterns, fabric and floss that you could never use in your lifetime is normal. I started only stitching cute patterns on Aida but as I got better I moved on to samplers on all types of things. Just caught your video and I’m glad I did. Great job on your pieces and your video!!

    Hi Sean, The red bird sampler is great. I finished that one and the blue bird one. I too enjoyed stitching those patterns. Your JBW Christmas tree looks great.

    I heard about you from tiny house stitcher. It’s great to see a male enjoy cross stitch. I loved your tour of the shop but if you don’t have a car you apparently can’t get there I lived in alaska For 28 years and all they had in alaska was Joann’s and michaels. So it was so nice seeing a real cross stitch store. I’m going to my first this week in glen elyn Illinois. Anyway enjoyed your floss tube. Keep onn

    I just found your channel through tinyhousestitcher! I love your enthusiasm! And yes, most stitchers have way more stash than they could ever actually stitch. That book of samplers you held up - I used to have that and I stitched the quilt sampler on the front cover, probably in 1986 or so. It’s still a favorite piece. I had to laugh at your “across the pond” comment, my equivalent is the word “adulting.” I hate when people use it!

    WOW WEE dude a male cross stitcher. The Tiny House Stitcher recommended to check out your flosstube. Love watching your enthusiasm about your haul. I like the name you used for one design "beachables." I have a big stash and it is also hard to decide what to stitch next, but I go with whatever appeals to be at that moment. Kudos for your FFs and your FFOs! I will definitely tune into your next video!

    Hey Mr Hollick! Great red sampler finish. I hope you start the red berry JBW design next. You’re not alone in not knowing what to start next when you have so much to choose from... I think that’s why so many stitchers get into SALs and stitching groups, because the prompts help remove that initial decision. You’ll find what works for you. Happy to subscribe and I look forward to your next update! -Leah Noel
