I always enjoy watching and listening to you two delightful ladies. You both stitch such beautiful things. I like Adoption concept for your unfinished projects.
Adoption would look beautiful over my fireplace. Liz, it just so happens that I took out my Cardinal Points to work on. You have much more done on yours than I have. Ladies it was good to see you again. Thank you for sharing.
2 strands in a 28, oh yes I have recently noticed that occurring. I recently (Christmas) purchased quite a variety of manufacturers and am doing my own testing. I had gotten spoiled by Pat Carson needles. They are no longer available, and while I purchased a pack of each size just before she passed, they won’t last forever. My preferred is the 28, I’ll go to a 26 if I’m using two strands. I feel like I’m wielding a pole when I use a 24, so that is strictly on Aida three or four strands. When I started stitching in th late 80’s I just bought kits. I discovered most of what was in the kits were John James, so naturally I started using them. Then after watching several videos and stitching shows I started getting other needles and trying them. Thanks being such great teachers.
Hi ladies, I really enjoy your videos everything you ladies work on is so beautiful I am brand new to cross stitch and enjoy all the information you both share .
Thank you for sharing all your fun stuff with us and all the info on the needles, that was great. I would love to do a heart like the one you showed with the different stitches on it - very nice. Spring
So happy to see you wonderful ladies again. I would love to adopt your Stoney Creek piece. I’m partial to Stoney Creek bc one of my first cross stitch pieces was a Stoney Creek publication. And I live 3 miles down the road from Stoney Creek Beach. Liz, Herman is adorable !!! Debra- I can’t believe you are stitching 1 over 1 on 46 ct! You go girl!
Of all the flosstubers out there, you two are a few of my favorite! I wish I could visit you both when I am up in PA! I see your getting an ice storm this week. Stay safe!
I guess I'm an angry stitcher too because my needle eyes break all the time it seems, lol. Having very little metal in eye makes perfect sense, you only had to be said. I'm going to look for the Edmar needles for the cure. Thank you for the golden nuggets! Your WIPS are all beautiful and I look forward to seeing them progress. Seeing the stitching piece versus seeing a pattern makes a whole world of difference. The Mani di Donna, Blue Quaker Sewing basket, Rosewood Manor, Parchment and the Sekas Heart designs have all caught my eye. Also, I'm going to have to look for the Fat Quarter needle cases. what a brilliant idea. Again, thank you for all that you do ladies!
Hi Ladies! Great video as always. Thanks for the tips and info about needles. It was very interesting. I love Herman the Hedgehog! He's on my wish list and will now be my next purchase from Fern Ridge. I've been working my way through their fobs and in the last handful of months have completed 5 of them. Many thanks to you, Liz, for the tutorial you did quite a while ago. I watched it, made several simple fobs for friends, then started on the Fern Ridge Collections fobs. I love them and love to create them. Can't wait to see your finished "tuna can" project. It looks very interesting. I really enjoyed all of your wips and finishes.
It was fun looking at your WIPs. Thank you for sharing. I liked the needle talk, portion of your video. Very interesting. I’m like Deb, I only take 1 project to work on, at a retreat. I did love to be conceded for the adoption of Faith, Hope, Love
Enjoyed watching you ladies today. Would love to finish Faith Hope Love , ADOPTION project. Venturing out to different fabrics and flosses. Lots of interesting information. ❤
Deb, I find Ocean State has the best prices around for pool chemicals and they have some really good prices on flower pots. Would love to finish your piece up for adoption.
What a fun & educational video! Love those needle cases, stackables, & of course, all of the stitching. I purchased Comfort Lighthouse last year before going on vacation in OBX, to have something nautical to stitch on there. Little did I know that this is actually New Pt Comfort Lighthouse & it’s only a 20 minute boat ride from our house! Love a “meant to be” surprise. I can’t wait to see yours finished with beads & wish I had thought about that! Happy Stitching ❤️🪡🧵
OMGosh I love your adoption plus I’m adopted….I have the perfect place for it snd they are my colors and I have never stitched in silk….and have always wanted to try it….
Hi ladies! I was so disappointed to miss the stitching get together, especially since it was just up the road from me. I would just love to meet you both. I’ll stay tuned in and hopefully there will be more. Love you both and all your projects ❤
Another very informative video. Thank you! I've never used silks. I haven't wanted to purchase them & then decide I didn't like them so am interested in your adoption. It's a beautiful pattern. ❤
Just found you today. Enjoyed watching and learning. I like the John James Petite needles and usually buy this brand. Will check out other needles thanks to information you shared.
Adoption looks beautiful! I was wondering if you all were ok. It’s been a while since I seen a post but it is a busy time it seems. Thanks for sharing with us Deb and Liz!
The only draw back to having vinyl bags is the pattern will have a tendency to stick to the vinyl. It’s nothing you have gotten on the pattern or did it’s just the nature of the beast. I’ve gone back to making all cloth bags because of that. Deb, your Montage is Stunning!!!!! Have a wonderful week ladies.
Thank you so much for the sunshine you brought to me on a rainy day in Seattle. So grateful to both of you for such an informative and fun video. You bring so much joy to all of us who love to create beauty stich-by stich.
I very much enjoyed seeing your beautiful finishes and wips. So glad to see you back, ladies, your videos always make my day better. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great projects! I have Cardinal Points and the Carriage House chart in my stash. Trying to decide which to start next! I’m not picky about the brand of needle I use to stitch but for a 24 or 22 I prefer needles from Primitive Gatherings. Just as long as the needle size suits the thread and fabric, I’m good! I did pre-order 3 charts to make sure I got them. Happy stitching!
Thank you both for another great video and sharing your talents with us. Liz do counting pins qualify as a "gadget"? I have heard of them but never seen them used. Can you show us how you use them? (if you haven't already) Snuggles and belly rubs to Ivan and Charlie. 🐾💕
Thank you for as always a lovely visit with you both. I watch you over a few days during my lunch time when I try hard to not reply to emails. It is so nice to see your progress on your work and always inspires me to pick up my stitching when I have a hiatus. I am so pleased for you that your stitchy meet up went so well.
I absolutely love watching you two! You both look so lovely In his video! Love everything you both share! I absolutely love the bead work Liz and that Minnesota is stunning! Did you choose the charms yourself? Wow love love. I am new to stitching can you share what would be the way to try a new cloth to stitch in there are soOo many it’s overwhelming I might add my eyesore is not great. Thanks I’m advance. I am loving the adoption idea…so kind to pass on something you may not want to finish because I’m seeing I love and just have gotten bored of other things. Truly a clever idea! Oh the hedgehog is soOo sweet love your version much better. Dang I need to now research needles…so much to learn. Tfs!! God bless! -christine
Another lovely video! I think our version of the store you got the Sterilite case from might be called Big Lots here in California. West coast folks could try there perhaps? I am using Bohin needles right now, they're ok, I think I'll try some others to experiment. Until next time!
Not sure about any needles..I bought a pack each of 24, 26 and 28 Pat Carson ( now discontinued). Never broke one and don’t think I have ever bent one. But, I do use larger count linen and evenweave. 28-32 and some 36. I have used Bohin. No preference..I stitch most every night, but only have a couple year’s experience..maybe that makes the difference. I stitch in hand. Hoops only with embroidery. I am a quilter first (50 years), but absolutely love cross stitch. Always look forward to watching you both.
The needle information is so helpful for me. It is truly amazing how cross stitching has changed. I just started cross stitching again after 25 years. Such a great video.
Have you advertised your get togethers to the Amish or Menenite communities? I bet everyone could learn something new. I've only ever used 28 needles. I usually stitch 2 strands. My favorite are Mary Arden, though those have become a bit scarce. I stitch in hand and tend to bend my needles after awhile. Thanks ladies. As always hugs for Ivan, Charlie and Hank.
Yes, Counting pins, saves me from frogging. I've done many Hinzeit charts w/charms, they are fun & fast. I use a "tail weaver" (Dritz/LoRan makes on, sold at Joann's +++) when I can't run my thread under the stitches!! I'm tired of bending & breaking needles. I recently tried Piecemakers, they are so-so. I think All are just made so cheaply, no quality 😑. Others have had ink transfer or chart cover photos get distorted with vinyl bags, so maybe keep the chart in a plastic sleeve.
This is about your Victorian boy chart. Our family has a portrait of two children that hung on my grandmother's guestroom wall. When I was about 12 I finally asked who the boy and girl were in that picture. The girl has beautiful long blonde ringlets. She is wearing a fancy outfit with an oversized ruffled collar. That "girl" is my grandfather. He was born in Missouri in 1892. To see where that fashion trend started Google Little Lord Fauntleroy. Adoption. I love EdMar needles. I think 2 threads go through the eye of this Number 28 needle easier than any other I have tried.
My first time watching. Love the adoption idea.
What a nice idea - adoption of projects instead of them hanging out in a bin forever! ❤️
Adoption. A saviors praise is on my bucket list. Beautiful piece.
I always enjoy watching and listening to you two delightful ladies. You both stitch such beautiful things. I like Adoption concept for your unfinished projects.
Always a pleasure to stitch and watch with you both
Love the saviors praise and the rest I can’t remember! As always enjoy the two of you together! Would love and adoption!

I loved the. Piece Liz is working on and found it on line under the name as Bucklebury Sampler!
Deb your montage is just beautiful! I’d love to do an adoption of your piece.
Lovely video today! I like the Pako needle holder also. So many projects require a lot of colors and that works well for me.
I love John James needles
Great “ tips” on needles in this video! ( get the ‘point?) lol. You guys knock it out of the park every video!
I guess I'm an angry stitcher too because my needle eyes break all the time it seems, lol. Having very little metal in eye makes perfect sense, you only had to be said.

I got those same storage containers at Hobby Lobby for $11.
I always smile when I watch you two ladies. So much fun and stitchy goodness. Adoption is a great choice for your piece. I’d love to finish it.
Liz. I have heard several people say that their pattern stuck to the clear front stitching bags. Just an FYI. Love your show
