Wow so many pretty options to stitch on this year Nerissa, I look forward to seeing how it plays out - hope you have an amazing 2025 :) take care, see you soon I hope - Nic x
There’s a few that are WIPS in my stitching baskets (I have a few of those as squirrels 🐿 keep visiting)too. Plus projects waiting to be made by my sewing machine. Thanks for the encouragement to move along with mine. Blessings and happy stitching.
It's fun to see what projects everyone is working on! Thank you Clare for your support and encouragement this past year. Here is to 2025 and many more hours of stitching. Happy stitching
Lovely to see Martha coming along. I need to have a close up in person on a couple of those beautiful samplers when I come to visit. So lovely. Anna and I are on the stash diet with you so we will all be there for one another 🤗🤗🤗
I can't wait to see your progress on your samplers in 2025! You are such a fast stitcher, but don't be hard on yourself. You get more stitching done each year than I get done in 5!❤❤❤
She’s such a fun one, I’m enjoying stitching her too! Charlotte always feels like I am not getting anywhere , but that is why I started at the bottom, to get the full coverage stitching done first. Happy stitching
Oh Nerissa I have added Alice Smith to my wishlist at Traditional Stitches! I will watch faithfully as you progress with her in 2025. What a lovely wip parade. 🪡🧵☮️❤️
Thank you so much Heidi. I am so looking forward to concentrating on my samplers for the coming year. With a few ornaments and smalls thrown in. Happy New Year and happy stitching
Just love your stitching and the projects you are working on. Wondering what’s your method for kitting up all these DMC projects since you have so many on the go?? Such beautiful work. You are so talented. How do you find the time. Wow. Also how do you determine what project to stitch on. You made my morning!!!!!
Good question! I like to have all of the threads in, Each project bag . If it uses a lot of a colour I will get a new skein - others wise I pull a couple of lengths off of my master dmc set. I stitch for an hour before work everyday on Christmas projects- then a few hours after tea. I try and put a couple of flosstubes to play and push my phone away - so I can just disconnect for everything and concentrate on my stitching. On my days off. I get up and complete the household chores and the. Have the rat of my day off to stitch. I work on a project for a couple of days - then I grab the next one. Sometimes there will be one that is calling to me and I will work on that until I feel like a change. Happy stitching
I checked, New Zealand has 24 hours in each day just like I have in Minnesota USA. But . . . you sure do get a lot of stitches done in comparison. I so enjoy you.
I’m so glad you enjoy my channel, I have lots of fun sharing my stitching. Yes we only have 24 hours in a day . Some days are just more productive then others. Merry Christmas, happy stitching
Wow! One of those big girls would be enough to keep me going through 2025. I don’t think I’ll live long enough to get through those WIPs but I love them all. I somehow think the speed that you stitch we’ll be seeing some finishes fairly soon. I’m also trying to cut back on my shopping this year but I would love Lucy Barber, HATS and DCVH 1785, Modern Folk Embroidery and the Jeanette Douglass ABC sampler box 😬 it’s going to be hard. Thanks for sharing your needlework with us. I really enjoyed seeing all your WIPs.
Thank you so much for watching. Yes some of them are going to take a while to complete. But if I put in one stitch it’s suddenly becomes one motif, then one page and before I know it I have completed the sampler. Happy stitching
Love Let Love Reign. Ive also got her on the go. She's so beautiful stitch. I'm just finishing last leg of my first long dog Dilema then straight back to Let Love Reign. Teresa Kogut has become my favourite designer and I have quite a few of her charts to start. I'm in process of kitting up Serenity and few of her other new charts that were released
Thank you Lynne. Teresa Kogut is one of my favourite designers also. I have quite a few of her pieces ready to stitch. But Let love reign and serenity are the 2 that we’re calling to me for this year. Happy New Year and Happy stitching
Your samplers are beautiful! Wow the Heaven and earth is amazing I have one from Golden kit I like to start on day. I love watching your videos you are such an inspiration Happy New Year Nerissa.
Your sampler selection is absolutely stunning. You inspire me! I started Sheep May Safely Graze after seeing Ellen from Maximum Cross Stitch finish it. But I have not worked on her in a while. I am determined to pull her out in 2025 along with you! I think we both will also have a finish on Martha Walmsley this year - I am about the same percentage done as you, and can’t wait to see her hanging on our walls. Keep up the great stitching, and for sharing with all of us. Best wishes for a wonderful, happy start to 2025. ❤
Thank you so much. I did not realise that Ellen had stitched Sheep May Safely Graze, I shall have to go back over her Flosstube and she it done. I am hoping for the finish on Martha Walmsley early in the year. I have the gape on my wall all sorted and waiting for her. Happy new year and happy stitching.
Nerissas you have some large protects for 2025, will be looking out on your progress especially Dutch Beauty since I started it 2 years ago and I am almost finish with her.🌺💕🌸
Thank you for watching, Dutch Beauty is a great project. I started her 18 months ago and really want to see some big progress on her this year. Happy stitching!
Nerissa - your WIPs are magnificent!! How to you stitch? In hand, in a hoop, on a Q Snap? I assume not a scroll frame as you have such an impressive rotation. Happy New Year!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much for watching. I mostly stitching in hand. I use a very small spring hoop for some of the pieces that are being stitched on 46 and 52 count linens. I only have 2 larger pieces on scroll rods, but I find that my back and shoulders get sore if I stitching to long on those pieces. Happy stitching for 2025
Thank you. I stitching Christmas in the mornings before work. Then after work/ tea I work on my chosen wip for the evening. Most of my wips get 2 days - then onto another one . I try to complete a motif or section before moving on. I have occasionally been known to stitch all day on my days off. Happy stitching
Such great and drool-worthy plans.❤ I’m looking forward to this year and watching your progress!👏👏 I have an odd and random question. Do you ever abandon a sampler? I feel that I get to know the maker by copying her work. For or the first time ever I have abandoned a project because I don’t like the girl. Has that ever happened to you?
Thank you so much. I can not wait to get stuck into some of my wips. I have not abandoned a sampler - but I have put aside a couple because they are not calling to me to be stitched on.
