    I loved seeing you again. Your cross stitching is so lovely. I love the fabric for the mermaid piece. Enjoy your getaway and be safe.

    Thank you for your video. It's always a treat to see your progress on your beautiful pieces. I hope those beads work for you. What a disappointment. That fabric for your mermaid chart is perfect! Can't wait to see it. Have a wonderful Bali trip, enjoy your time together! Take care and happy stitching!

      Thank you very much! After several suggestions I’ve decided to order some Mill Hill Petite beads in the same color so I think they should be perfect…. We’ll soon find out!
      I’m so excited to start the mermaids on that fabric!
      Thank you for your kind comments as always 🥰

    As always you have done beautiful stitches on your projects. When I saw the pictures from StitchesSewBeautiful I knew I had to go to that etsy shop and look at the rest of their pattern. I immediately fell in love when I saw the Victorian Santa pattern and had to buy it. I also will buy the Yuletide Dragon and their little Mouse Designs. I recently bought the Gamer Girl pattern from Medusa as a gift for my boyfriend. But as soon I am done with that project I will stitch the Santa. I can´t help myself. Its just so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and happy stitching!

      Thank you so much. That Santa is gorgeous and will look amazing stitched up. I’ve had to stop myself looking at the site otherwise I’ll buy a whole tonne of them and I’ll be upset that I can’t start them. I’ve learnt to just buy charts now when I know I can start them. My tastes have changed a lot over the years and I have to be more selective now. But I still enjoy watching everyone else purchase the goodies 🥰

    Your fairy garden project is beautiful. Hoping you can sort out the beading issue. I wonder if that person asking about cross stitching magazines is talking about actual magazines from the newsagent with articles and letters from readers etc rather than the shopping catalogues that you mentioned. I love buying Crossstitcher Magazine and The World of Cross stitching from the newsagent. I think they come out monthly and are the good old fashioned magazines to read with patterns to stitch. Have a great time in Bali.

      Thank you so much! I’ve bought Mill Hill Petite beads now so I’m very hopefully they will suit. Hopefully I can get the beading done before the end of the year.
      Yes it’s possible, but from the way she worded it on FB I understood it to mean she was looking for a catalogue that shows charts and kits available for purchase.
      I have a stash of magazines that I can’t seem to part with. I enjoy getting them every so often and planning Future stitches and then I get side tracked with others 😂😂

I may have to break down and stitch Woman in a Yellow Dress on weekends. I’ll be stitching it on 28ct, 1 over 1. I’m retired so I have plenty of time to stitch 🤗

  • @luvslyfe1
    @luvslyfe1 11 місяців тому

    Fairy garden is beautiful ❤ I use mill hill 15’s in both cross stitch and in jewelry beading work. The 15’s should work fine on that count. Looks like it was charted with 11’s, which seems quite large for the fabric shrinkage. Was it charted for an undyed fabric originally?
    We are never tired of seeing your HAED progress. I love seeing it come to life! It’s going to be another Carolyn masterpiece, just like the dragon you did for your son way back when 😊
    Thank you for the referral for the new stitching site…I am always looking for new projects. One site that you didn’t mention is Charting Creations; they have great charts as well. And I hope you have a wonderful vacay to Bali…that would be a dream vacation!

    • @TheFlosstubeStitcher
      @TheFlosstubeStitcher  11 місяців тому

      Thank you so much for the suggestion. If looked into the Petites originally but didn’t realize all I had to do was change the first number to a 4. I’ve now ordered some and can’t Waite until they arrive. I’m sure they’ll be perfect. The design was charted for a hand dyed fabric from Fiberlicious, but funny enough no fabric count was suggested 🤷‍♀️
      I knew I’d forgotten one of the sites… I’ve never ordered from that one and that’s probably why I couldn’t remember it 😂

    • @TheFlosstubeStitcher
      @TheFlosstubeStitcher  10 місяців тому

      I’m not sure which one you’re referring to. The only project I’m currently working on that’s not compatible with Pattern Keeper is the Mirabilia Mermaids of the Deep Blue. That one I’ve had too old school photocopying off the chart and using highlighters to mark off Finished stitches. If that’s not the one you were referring to, please let me know.
