    Wow, this was the absolute best finish parade that I've ever seen. You should be so proud of all of your stitching from the past indeed. The last piece, the floral one, on 40 ct is stunning. I love the picture you showed of the first thing that you ever stitched - what a special keepsake. Thank you for this great video, Shiloh, you are a seasoned stitcher and needleworker, and probably one of the best.

    I literally sat here doing a drum roll for that last stitch from 2015. B.R.I.L.L.I.A.N.T.. Shiloh you are amazing! You truly have a talent but more than that you have a good eye. None of your older stitching seems dated. And the care that was put into the storage of these is impressive because none of them are damaged at all. What a treasure trove you have there. I am so happy for you that you were able to bring so much home. I know how hard it is as I moved from Michigan to Québec with literally one suitcase almost 50 years ago. xoxoxo

    This was my favorite floss tube ever, so much fun to see your past stitches!! I had the same sunflowers piece from the cross stitch magazine mostly done, and my eye sight started changing and I stopped stitching. Then in 2019 I found it and wanted it finished. I was watching Caroline (yes, off the grid Caroline) and she encouraged me to try magnifiers. I did, finished it, and have been back to stitching since then. I have a lot of pieces from the 1990s and still love them. They are part of our family home. You are going to have the best looking walls as time goes by!

    Oh my.... so many beauuuuutiful pieces!!! Love the idea of letting those missing halfs stay missing and frame it like that. Like you said... it's a story that is beautiful and funny to tell and remember! Also love the idea of framing your very first piece! It has an very emotional value and your first step into the joy of stitching your found through it.
    Also... the last piece you showed... stunning, just stunning! Can't imagine to stitch any of it over one on 40 ct.... Can't imagine to ever stitch on 40 ct, 'cause it's so tiny... and then over one? Just amazing!
    All in all... I loved that parade and hope you'll show more of your older pieces when you get your hands on them. Maybe also your Aida pieces? Would love it. :) And I'm so happy and also thankful that you took us with you down memory lane, 'cause to hear your memories and see (and also hear) your reactions to everything was just wonderful and warmed my heart so much. So, thank you!

    These are amazing, Shiloh! I love that all your old finishes are such beautiful patterns. If I look back at mine, they are ... definitely not my style. That's the 80s and 90s for you, I guess. 😆But 2 over 1 on 40 count?! That blows my mind. That piece is amazing and I, too, can't believe you can't remember stitching it. I feel like that's trauma that would stick in your brain. 🙃 Thank you for sharing with us. What a treasure trove!

    Omigosh, Shiloh! I don’t even know where to begin ❤️ I believe this is probably my favorite finish parade that I’ve seen. That Flower Power piece is jaw dropping gorgeous. I stitched a number of Drawn Thread patterns, so of course I love yours, lol. You’ve been stitching a lot longer than I have ( and I am old, haha) , so I had not heard of the Bright Needle patterns, but I absolutely love their muted color palettes used in their designs. I wish they’d reprint their patterns too, as I know I’d be buying a few. Thank you so much for the parade…between this and your Jacob Palooza video, you’ve got me wanting to stitch all the things! 😁

I almost fell over. I have had this chart forever. Have I started it? No! But what an inspiration! It is sincerely one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen! Ever. I am just so glad that you have a real big girl. Job now and can get these framed! They all must be framed. Stat! Loved the little needlework shop too!

    My first cross stitch was when I was a kid. One of my cousins was having their first baby. I stitched one of those stamped baby bib kits. I want to say it was a little turtle with balloons 🤣
    Didn't start seriously stitching until after grad school. A friend of mine inspired me and I haven't stopped since then 😊

    And you’ve been talking about how you don’t like samplers, but you were stitching them when you were a teen. Do you think you unknowingly got burnt out on samplers? All of them were lovely by the way!! My mouth was agape the entire time with what you accomplished at such a young age.
    And that last stitch, chefs kiss! What about double framing it?

    I just kept sitting here saying “oh my gosh, oh my gosh.“ That flower power piece is stunning. With your love of birds, I was going to ask if you had seen any of the crossed wing patterns. I have several. I also have a passion for birds. And I love your story about your first Crosstitch. I taught my identical triplet girls when they were young also. Only one of them has continued. The general surgery resident has not, and I wish she would because it would be a great stress reliever. I keep telling her she needs to get in contact with you. 😀 Thank you again.

    Hopefully I can still get the chart for the Bookshelf and put it on my bookshelf since I am an avid reader too. Great parade of previous work - I loved it. If you can and are willing to lace your finished projects, you could go to Michaels to find a frame that would fit. That would cut your cost. You could also get frames at a thrift shop - get rid of what is in there and use it for your pieces.
