Hi Sarah Love your WIPS - especially Dragon Ride. Wow. This is so pretty and I love the Colors in this. Congratulations on finishing Flea Market Flowers. This is so pretty. I am so glad that you are okay from Hurricane Hilary and the Earthquake. Another Stitching Friend of mine who makes Floss Tube Videos also lives in Southern California and she said that it was mostly rain as well too. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Hi Sarah! I really enjoyed today’s video! Congratulations on a finish on Flea Market Flowers! The elephant advent piece is so cuteI I like your plan for your family pieces going forward! I also like watching Laura’s videos for the same reason I like yours - so much variety and pretty patterns! So with variety in mind, I’m really going to enjoy your September plans! Have a wonderful week!
Hi! I am so excited to hear about your finishing ideas for the Advent Animals. I have kitted up mine this past week and as I was looking at that border...I wondered: What did Stitchin' Mommy do? After listening to your ideas I want to offer a small tweak - do the border on the design piece, fray out the edges AND THEN stitch it to the parchment. To me, the Advent border design looks like it is going to be very bulky. I look forward to hearing what you decide to do! Now, back to watching the rest of your Flosstube #286. 😍
A chuckle for you - School Principal: Your son has done so well, we believe he should graduate a year early. Stitchin' Mommy: NO! I won't have his cross stitch done!🙄
Hi glad you and your family are ok. Love all your stitching and I'm like you I love to cross stitch but I don't like to fully finish unless is a gift. Have a great day and Happy Stitching.🌻
Sarah I love your finishes and WIP's. I love the pillow you did for your pastor it is beautiful. I like a lot of your plans for September and I also love the patterns your purchased. I too love bright colors in my patterns. I'm glad you and your family are safe from the hurricane and earthquake. It's that time of the year. Love seeing Smokey. I almost have another finish and when it's completed I will send you a picture. In the meantime be safe and kind. God bless Pat
Your Flea Market Flowers is so pretty, very delicate in that size. I think I smiled the whole time at the story of your stitching for your Pastor. How fun! It made me think of my husband with the crochet comment. All the years I’ve cross stitched he never can remember to call it that. He always calls it my crocheting. I do crochet, but they certainly don’t look alike😁. Btw, I’m stitching your Quaker temp chart for Ohio, I use the varied chart and have not used the hottest 3 colors at all! Cooler there too.
You can use a denim needle in your slewing machine and sew your ornaments to your card stock! I’ve done it and it works great but I would use auto fill thread and it comes in beautiful colors! ❤ I can’t wait to see how your flip calendar turns out Sarah! Love all you do! ❤
Yes, my original plan was to sew them onto the cardstock with my sewing machine. I have done that before when making cards. But it just occurred to me that adding that candy cane border as the method to attach them to the cards might be a fun alternative. :)
Nice to meet you today on Zoom! This is the first episode I’ve watched, and I really enjoyed it. That pillow is hilarious, and turned out so well. Your stitching is beautiful. I also love the planning you did for ABCingo. I did the exact same thing in planning out how many times I would stitch each piece. Great episode. I look forward to more!
I really enjoyed our Zoom meeting - I have only joined once before since Saturday mornings aren't generally a good time for me to get away to do my own thing. It was nice to chit chat with everyone about stitching - like a mini retreat! Who were you on the zoom? Everyone on there had real names showing so I don't know who to match your UA-cam name up with. :)
Love your progress and plans! I’m doing the same thing next month since August has been completely monogamous so far. I don’t think the flag pole looks much different. You could always think of the other poles being more “in the sun”? I would leave it. So happy you are all safe and sound! And what a great gift for your pastor!
It is 100 degrees here in Springfield, TN. for 3 days this week. So glad you and your family are ok. Congratulations on your finish of Flea Market Flowers.
I love the pillow! And it is so true, we don't put the hard verses on display, but maybe we should to remind us how God brings us through the hard stuff.
I'm glad you're ok. I live in AK and am very familiar with earthquakes. I really enjoy your stitching! Can you show us your stitching portfolio? Take care.😊
I look forward to your update every week. It is so much fun. For the advent animals maybe sew around the card stock with no thread to have holes to embroider through to make it easier to sew. Can’t wait to see what you do! Using the sewing machine with the right length stitches😁
On the frosted pumpkin project, since it is the middle pole it does not matter the color is different. Love the new idea of giving your sons project 1000 stitches each, every month. Looking forward to see how much you get done on dragon ride the next 1,5 week 😍❤️😊
I have been waiting to see if you would post a video this week! When i watched all the news about the weather and then the earthquake, you and your family were what i thought about first!! So glad you are okay! I absolutely love the pillow! Our Sunday School class is going through Ezekiel now and it is a stark reminder that God is a loving, long-suffering God, but He is also a jealous and wrathful God when we turn from Him. We need reminding of that as well as how people will treat us as Christians. It's not all sunshine and roses, but it is worth it!!! Once again you have inspired me with ways to finish my own family's projects. Thanks so much for that!! You constantly help keep me motivated to carry on making progress no matter how much it is!! Take care!!!
totally enabled. As soon as I saw that house with flowers, I paused the video, hopped on etsy and made sure to favorite it so when payday comes around, I can have all the pretty things lol.
What a bad stitchy enabler I am!!! +giggles+ Bit you will so enjoy stitching those. I know it! ❤ Gosh, what an amazing amount of stitching you got done again. Absolutely amazing!!! And congratulations for the finishes!!!! Woohoo!!!!!! You know, I am actually really hoping that you will work on the full coverage bear again soon (as well as the cupcake one). I always play a little game when I watch you show before and after pictures. I try to spot the newly stitched area before you point it out. 😂 And I am really excited to get to see you start colour completing the colours with smaller amount of stitches. I think that is what your plan is with the bear, right? It will be fun. But I love seeing whatever stitching you do! ❤
Hello my friend! So excited you’ll be doing ABCINGO this year! I hope you enjoy it! I think the flag poles look great as is - when I see multiple flag poles out in real life, they all age differently from the weather, so I would leave it as is. Have a great stitchy week and thanks for a longer video today!
Flagpoles in real life are usually not all the same color. Also the colors you are using are not that different and I am sure when all is stitched, no one will notice. 😊 Oh, that pattern with Smokey is so purrfect ❣ I'm going to look forward to you stitching on that 😉 Happy Stitching 🪡🧵🥰
Love your finished pieces. The scripture cushion turned out very well. Dragon ride is an amazing piece. Will be fun watching your progress. ABCingo is a lot of fun. I’ve nearly completed my plans for it. Have a great week.
Congrats on finishing Flea market flowers. Lovely. Leave the flagpole alone it’s fine. Love your plans for September, but rather you than me. Good luck and happy stitching ❤
I don't think the different pole colors like bad. You notice if you stare at the project, it doesn't jump out at you. Plus poles do tend to be different colors over time when they are outside.
I am glad to hear that you weathered the storm - I was hoping to see an update from you since I knew that Hilary was in your neck of the woods! Congratulations on finishing Flea Market Flowers! I understand not having a specific full-finish idea for that piece; I did it and finished stitching it last year, and think I will make a pillow out of it - but of course I have not done it yet!
I am also doing ABCingo and I am looking forward to it. Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. You got me with the tulip house lol. Happy stitching!
I only manage to get 500 stitches a day at the most. A thousand stitches a day is wow. That's funny and cute about the pillow for your pastor. It's also funny he knew exactly what it was. I want to see the dragon for your son get done. When I found your channel, you had just started it.
Leave the flagpole as is - it seems closer and therefore should be darker, to me. This NC girl (with lots of hurricane experience) is glad that you were spared the wind! It can cause so much damage. Good to hear that everyone at your house is ok. Yea! Another finish!
I'm glad you are safe from hurricanes and earthquakes! Yikes! Congrats on finishing Flea Market Flowers! I think that's a great idea to try to finish your boys' pieces before they graduate. Great goal! I'm excited to see them progress rapidly!
Great idea on the dragon the eye placement definitely is odd, I thought it was a freckle on a cheek 😂. Flag poles look great no need to change. I plan on start putting my finishes in a portfolio as well. I have more cross stitch projects than I can put up. Any recommendations on portfolios? I have one in my Amazon wishlist but not sure if it will be any good.
I just got one on Amazon also. I haven't actually put anything in it yet. :P But I got one that was pretty big so that I could potentially put something like a Mirabilia in there.
No, I have already acquired a photo flip album that I will put the animals in. So, I just need to mount them on something to help them look cute and fill up the entire 4x6 space in the flip album. Card stock is heavy enough. :)
If a piece has beads, I will iron it upside down and be gentle in those areas where beads are - not ironing as much or as firmly in those areas. You can put a towel down underneath the stitching to further cushion the beads as well. This will only work if you have attached them with cotton thread - if you used invisible thread, you would need to put a cloth between the work and your iron and use a lower setting so that the thread doesn't melt.
@@StitchinMommy Thank you so much ! Got it! There's no double t in Paterns--but eventually it came up. (I mean.. I know how to spell it, but that's not how it is) 😉
Good afternoon. I'd say keep the flag pole the other color. It's not much different and wood is usually different shades anyways. I do have a question though...I love the Amazing Grace stitch you did previously and wanted to do something similar (changing the smalls to a wild flower design i already have in my stash). Do you still have the conversion you did for the smaller font? Would you consider sharing? I searched your esty store and didn't see it but I'd be willing to buy it.
Are you interested in those verses charted out, or just the font so you can chart your own words? If you're interested in the verses, send me a message over on Etsy and I can put up a custom listing for you. :)
Flag poles in parades rarely match so I don’t think it matters. With Brooks ornaments, if you match the to stitching to the background, you can sew an overlap of 3 to 5 stitches and it doesn’t show. I am making a trading card for the Stitching on the Shore challenge and fraying the edge of the stitched portion…did this and you can’t see it. I just checked Victoria Sampler…so many lovely charts but I can’t find the freebie you were talking about.
Their free patterns are on their Facebook group in the Featured section: facebook.com/groups/144448399084489. And the end of each year, they take down the freebies and put them up for sale on their website in the Creative Designs section. I hope that helps!
It took me forever to find the pattern your daughter wants you to stitch. Then I realized the shop name spelled pattern with one t (patern). Anyway, I have it now🎉
I so enjoy your floss tube. Thank you for sharing your projects. I am very interested in the VIctoria Sampler free pattern but when I went on the site I couldn't find them. How do I find them? Thank you for your help.
The Victoria Sampler design I am currently working on is called Year in Stitches and it was a free design in their Facebook group back in 2021. You can find it for sale now on their website here: victoriasampler.com/collections/creative-patterns/products/a-year-in-stitches-january-december-package-pdf-downloadable-charts There are also separate listings for the individual months also. They do continue to offer free charts on their Facebook group every year, but take them down at the end of the year. To find this year's free charts (a series of trees), join their Facebook group here: facebook.com/groups/144448399084489 and the charts are found in the "Featured" section. I hope that clarifies everything!
Yes, on that design (and most of my projects) I tend to backstitch each stitch when going in a straight line (or exact diagonal). If the line goes on an uneven diagonal (up 1 stitch, but over 2 stitches, for example), I will do a straight stitch across the space rather than try to split the fabric. On my Advent Animals, since the majority of the backstitching is done with 2 strands and the model stitches looked like a lot of the "backstitching" was actually straight stitches, I have been stitching that one with much longer stitches, but that is abnormal for what I usually do. :)
everyone else is experienceing a dangerous heat wave and you are upset because you haven't hit your top two colors on your chart. You make me chuckle. What a way to deal with it. According to my information the Dragon's were taken down because she believed it was not appropriate with her religious belief's
I think that pillow is great. Sometimes now, Christians are already being persecuted. Although, it’s nice to see people standing up for the Lord and Christ. But where would our lives and peace of mind be without Them? I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know a lot of people say, so you’re not Christians. Wrong, our name of our church says it all. All Christians do have to speak up for our Heavenly Father and Christ.
Hi Sarah
I always enjoy to see your progress on your pieces. Your letter fairy is excellent. Congratulations on your finishes. 😊

Leave the flag pole - it's closer in viewpoint than the other poles, so it's a clearer darker color. It's fine and the project is very cute!

Wouldn’t it be nice if keeping your kids young was so easy. I’d never finish anything.
:D
Hi glad you and your family are ok. Love all your stitching and I'm like you I love to cross stitch but I don't like to fully finish unless is a gift. Have a great day and Happy Stitching.🌻
I would love to see what your portfolio looks like and how you put your finish project in it. Thank you
You are a good planner. The pillow you made and finished is well done. It looked perfect on the chair.
Thank you!

Hi Sarah. Thanks for the update. You finally finished your Flea Market Flowers! Yay! I like the way you're planning your family pieces. ⚘️
Enjoyed seeing all of your projects. You are like me, you have a lot started. But we don't get bored, do we?
Love your projects! Your fairy is beautiful! I think the flag poles are just fine. Always enjoy your videos. Happy stitching 😊
It is 100 degrees here in Springfield, TN. for 3 days this week. So glad you and your family are ok. Congratulations on your finish of Flea Market Flowers.

Congratulations on your finishes. Love the pillow. I'm glad your pastor loved it. Some beautiful patterns you added to your stash. Happy Stitching.
Love the pillow! 😂
Love your plans!
I’m glad you guys are ok. I was thinking about you this weekend. Thanks for sharing all of your lovely projects!💕
Thank you!
The pillow is wonderful and it is so true that we want to focus on God's blessings. Your plans sound great.
Yep. You're crazy!
And the flag poles look just fine!
So glad you are all ok. I live all the finishes you are getting done. Love your videos.
I only manage to get 500 stitches a day at the most. A thousand stitches a day is wow. That's funny and cute about the pillow for your pastor. It's also funny he knew exactly what it was. I want to see the dragon for your son get done. When I found your channel, you had just started it.

Flea Market Flowers is lovely , well done on another finish . Thank you for sharing x
I'm glad you are safe from hurricanes and earthquakes! Yikes! Congrats on finishing Flea Market Flowers! I think that's a great idea to try to finish your boys' pieces before they graduate. Great goal! I'm excited to see them progress rapidly!
Great idea on the dragon the eye placement definitely is odd, I thought it was a freckle on a cheek 😂. Flag poles look great no need to change. I plan on start putting my finishes in a portfolio as well. I have more cross stitch projects than I can put up. Any recommendations on portfolios? I have one in my Amazon wishlist but not sure if it will be any good.
I just got one on Amazon also. I haven't actually put anything in it yet. :P But I got one that was pretty big so that I could potentially put something like a Mirabilia in there.
Have you considered putting the advent animals on chip board?
No, I have already acquired a photo flip album that I will put the animals in. So, I just need to mount them on something to help them look cute and fill up the entire 4x6 space in the flip album. Card stock is heavy enough. :)
Glad you all are safe and sound. I think your flag poles are fine.
I enjoyed seeing your wips and especially the pillow you made your Pastor. Quick question: How do you iron your pieces with the beads on it?
If a piece has beads, I will iron it upside down and be gentle in those areas where beads are - not ironing as much or as firmly in those areas. You can put a towel down underneath the stitching to further cushion the beads as well. This will only work if you have attached them with cotton thread - if you used invisible thread, you would need to put a cloth between the work and your iron and use a lower setting so that the thread doesn't melt.
I think the darker flag pole is just fine. Leave it as it! (Agree with zook717''s comment),
I guess I love bright colors too! I found Mallow flowers😊 but can't find the Ukrainian house w/Tulips! 😔
That one can be found in the Etsy shop CrossStitchPatterns and it’s called Tulip House. I hope that helps!
@@StitchinMommy Thank you so much ! Got it! There's no double t in Paterns--but eventually it came up. (I mean.. I know how to spell it, but that's not how it is) 😉

Yes, on that design (and most of my projects) I tend to backstitch each stitch when going in a straight line (or exact diagonal).

Just leave the flag pole the color that you stitched. There will be other areas of interest so it wont matter.

I think that pillow is great. Sometimes now, Christians are already being persecuted. Although, it’s nice to see people standing up for the Lord and Christ. But where would our lives and peace of mind be without Them? I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know a lot of people say, so you’re not Christians. Wrong, our name of our church says it all. All Christians do have to speak up for our Heavenly Father and Christ.
