    So great to see you again, Ellen, and up close, what a treat. Your new designs are fabulous and those queens are royally amazing, you stitch-over-achiever, Thank you for sharing all your stitching but especially the ufos. It’s good for me to see people doing that, normalizing it. I cant stitch everything and it’s a good reminder to re-evaluate the stitchuation, periodically. I’d pay hundreds of American dollars (thousands of Canadian) to hear your band, if only I were ever in the same city as you when you do that thing. xx One of your Older Bits

I really enjoyed making them for everyone. You are definitely becoming a very prolific designer. I really enjoy your stuff. I am really looking forward to you charting the rose pattern on the vintage purse you showed on the video. It is really beautiful. Hope to see you either in concert or at Stitch North next year!

    So nice to see you again, and I'm impatiently waiting to receive the floss and fabric for September's Revenge. Your three queens are gorgeous, but having just finished Mabel Tuke with a zillion queen stitches on 40ct (and still working on Ann Morison's zillion eyelets also on 40ct), I can't face anymore of them for a while. I was hoping you'd mention your organization of the lovely spools (100.3??) behind you - they look so good!! ❤

      My 100.3 spools are stored in acrylic lipstick organizers that I bought from Amazon. I might have to get more! I probably shouldn’t have them out where they can get dusty but I love seeing them.🤷‍♀️
      Oh yes take a break from the eyelets! After doing 164 on Anne Bolyne I was in need of a break! I love doing them though. They really do add to a piece.

    I saw your queens the minute your flosstube opened and I was wondering about them - so glad to find out it is available. Way to go - I am ok with specialty stitches because a lot of those you do on canvaswork. That HAED - if you put it on stretcher bars and on a stand - you would not have to hold onto it that cramps your hands. It would take some getting used to, but it could work. I will be at Jacob Palooza week 1 - Hope to be able to meet you and shake your hand in appreciation of all your designs.

Yes, please design one because I've never stitched a village, although I am attracted to them. but I'll bet yours would be totally cool. Yea, I know about the cost of hotels. I had to stay in three this summer and we're not talking super duper hotels but nice ones and holy freakin' moly they were likely to put me in the poor house. So I hear ya. Yes, Ellen, we so care.

    Heavens to Betsy Lou what is wrong with me? Did I fall sleep during Ellen Reid’s last floss tube? I was watching Brenda and Laura and Laura was talking about starting Ann Webb and then talked about the linen Ellen was using and oh my gravy, pause the duo go to Maximum Cross Stitch, fast forward and sheesh Louise the linen is perfect. How how how did I miss that??? I’ve been wanting to start that forever and 20 days and kept putting it off. So how did I miss that??? Linen is ordered. So a start will be happening (will use DMC which I have purchased because well my budget laughs at silks). I just just mad at myself for totally missing that while watching you. How can I ever be wife of the week if I don’t pay attention? Oh wait that is only for floss tubers. Maybe some day I’ll not be scared to do that. Floss tube that is. And be able to figure out how to film and upload. I promise to pay more attention next time if you promise not to wait so long to record.

Also, I have the perfect fabric to stitch your little petit point coin purse on - its a cotton pillow slip with a super fine Hardinger in the middle. It would be perfect and so ladylike.
