Such beautiful stitching. I love all the pieces. I stitch on one piece for as much as a month (but still do several smalls while I am working on the one piece) but more often than not I stitch a dozen or so pieces in a week. It is a mood thing, too. After all, it is art. OUR ART. Take care.
I always enjoy watching you and lean on every word and project. We have many WIPS in common so it propels me to see your progress! Love your fabric choices!
Love seeing your new episodes pop up! What an inspiration to us to start 62 new projects this year; looking forward to seeing the next 35🤗. Really enjoyed seeing your Nature WIP…I’m stitching it too and haven’t seen it on anyone else’s channel.
So enjoy your floss tubes! Your stitching is wonderful. Love the way you have so many that you just enjoy, one by one! Thank you for all the inspiration! Looking forward to seeing more.
Thank you Vicki I love you stitching and really enjoy the tips you give on organizing tips and how to stitch neater. You said in another floss tube that you twist your needle to straighten up your threads and that’s what I do and it was a wonderful tip.
Hi Vicky! Beautiful projects as always! Thanks for sharing your progress on your beautiful projects! That's a beautiful table mat. I hope your back is getting better! Happy Stitching!
Always excited when you post. Love all your new starts and WIPs. The Teresa Krogut pattern The Land That I Love has a flat bottom plantar bowl in the top right hand corner. Always love you tips on storage.
I always look forward to your videos. So enjoy all your projects. You have given me a lot of ideas for starting my age and birth year. I am also thinking of doing a year of all starts from magazines. I have all these magazineas i have been collecting for years with some lovely patterns i would like to stitch. Just never seems to be enough time in a day. I still work full time. For now i will just enjoy all your beautiful stitching and new starts.
I love your videos! You projects are always so interesting and you are so inspiring. I love the way you use color and your projects are always so neat and colorful. Thanks for taking your time to share your good ideas. You are the BEST.
Hi Vicki I love seeing all your WIP's and new starts. You always do beautiful stitching in your projects and I love the patterns you choose and do. I have a few on my wishlist. In July I did Christmas and thank you for the nice comments when I sent you what I did in July. That was very sweet of you. In October I think I may do Halloween projects because I have a lot of WIP's on Halloween. I went to Stichery X-Press which is only 5 minutes away from my home and I went there for the first time because Brenda for Handworkmanic went there and loved the store and I didn't know it existed. All I can say is WOW!!!! This store is amazing in one room alone is material and she has old and current patterns from a to z, Guess where I will be shopping. I told Brenda when she goes there again to let me know so I could meet her. Every Saturday they have from 10am to 6pm come stitch and shop. l have never had anyone to stitch with and this will be fun to meet people who have the same interest in cross stitching as I do. I always look forward to watching your channel you are such an inspiration to me Vicki. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat
Hello from NC Vicki! Always so nice to “visit”. Always such a treat to look at your beautiful stitching…just gorgeous. Thank you so much for pulling it all out for us…sorry your back is bothering you. I can relate, at night when I stitch, I have my heating pad on lowest setting to ease off my back..works like a charm. I do so enjoy your recommendations on thread and fabric. If you have a favorite needle, would love to hear about it. Thanks again for all you do.
Always excited when I see a new yT from you. I’m also stitching the Kogut Halloween Sampler. I’m working on it exclusively, but it won’t be done for this year. I like lots of your projects; similar tastes I guess. You do such beautiful stitching.
Hi Vickie. I am a long time watcher of your videos and enjoy them very much! I also stitch 2 handed and I have a tip for you. A long time ago I saw Vonna give a tip that changed my stitching forever!! She said to lead with the eye of the needle when you are coming up from the back. Then the thread does not twist as much and the needle is in the right position to just put it back through from the front. It truly was a game changer for me! Also please tell us how to spell your name. I see it a variety of ways!!
I did see Vonna’s video about it and tried it. I felt like it slowed me down but I am sure with practice I could get faster. She is such a prolific stitcher and finisher. Happy stitching Vicky
I like you, love Teresa Kogut and have many of her pieces started. I started this month featuring one of her pieces every week. I can work on that piece every day during that week or just one day. Whatever I feel like. This way I am touching and enjoying these pieces a little bit at a time.
Lol, I was born and raised in Maine and you have me over here saying "lobster" in the Maine accent. My husband is looking at me funny, Haha! I never did acquire the accent and people have actually accused me of lying about my Maine heritage because I don't sound like I'm from there. We recently just moved from the Maine to Virginia and I miss it.
Hi birthday buddy! I have the Teresa Kogu too but I haven’t done it I’m concentrating my baby granddaughters docking and our birthday start but I’m making a ton of mistakes……😖I finished Land That I love and had it framed. I was determined to finish, it’s gorgeous.
Vicky, I am really enjoying seeing your 62 starts, thanks for taking us along on that journey with you!! I love that Christmas Bells piece, I have it too and seeing yours really makes me want to pull mine out and get it started!! That project bag your (other) viewer made for you is truly stunning and I love coffee, and I have some coffee fabric too, I just have to get up the courage to start sewing. So, your retreat mat -- I was thinking of making some as table gifts for a retreat in October (using my coffee fabric), I was going to use Jessica, the Sweetwater Stitcher's tutorial, hers are about 16x16, would you mind sharing the size of yours? Of course I can just go to the Etsy shop, never mind! Jessica's have the pockets at the bottom and you can hang them off the table if you prefer, or turn the mat and have them (there are 3) along the side. I was also thinking of a cherry blossom theme since the treat is out of town and it would be a DMV type of theme.... Yours is beautiful!! Oh. My. Goodness! That hanging organization idea is genius!! Thanks for passing that along!! And thank you for talking about keeping stitches neat. I have had a terrible time on one particular project lately and I think of you and that tutorial every time I get frustrated -- and I use your twisting idea religiously!
Have fun on your retreat! The stitching mat I have is about 16” x 14” (I believe). I am not in my craft room at the moment. The 16”x 16” mat should be a nice size. Happy stitching and sewing!
Your programiwas very interesting and I learned a lot. Iam just a beginner compared to you ladies. It takes me a long time to get things stitched. I just work on 14 count so far. Not sure I will Get to the larger counts, but sure did enjoy your program. Thank you very much,❤❤ 1:34:06
What a treat to see you today and your beautiful stitching! Vicki I am so, so glad you are sharing with us again!!!! Out of curiosity did you take art classes in school because the way you choose your fabric is amazing! I’ll wrap this up so I can watch😂♥️
Thank you so much. I have not had any formal art training but love to play with colors and know a little bit about color theory. I just pick what looks best to me. Happy stitching
Hi Vicky, great video. I always love seeing your projects! Thanks for sharing all your tips. On Angel of Light will yoy be using krenick for the gold stitches or petite treasure braid? Happy stitching! Lori
Hey Vicky another great floss tube. I just love looking at the patterns and fabrics that you choose. I also am an Ada stitcher so I appreciate seeing what all the patterns look like on Ada. You’re doing a great job… just wondering would you mind sharing the dimensions of the stitch mat that you received and the measurements for the ort container as well? I’ve been wanting to make a stitch Matt but because I’ve never been to a retreat so I don’t know what size to make and I love the look of the one that you received I hope that’s alright to share, the measurements of both those two things would be great thanks so much Jenny Melbourne Australia 💚
Thanks for a great video Vicky! I always get excited when I see you have posted a new video. I know I'm in for some great stitches! ❤

Thank you so much 😊. The stitching mat measures 19” x 14”.
Oops, also the ort container inside measurement is 3”x3”
I would take you to China with me this fall!
Have a fun time!
Do a working copy of the pattern to you don't ruin our damage the book itself. And I sometimes use highlighter to mark off what I've already done
What brand and size needle do you use on 16 ct Aida??as you might remember, I’m 73 and my eyes aren’t the best,,hence Aida
I would recommend size 26 needles. They are a little bigger but work for 16 count Aida. I have been buying Piecemakers.
