    You have some very ambitious stitching plans, but I do love that you emphasize that plans can change for various reasons or no reasons at all. That feels very human to me.
    I’m still working my way through your FlossTube videos. The current cliffhanger is how March Madness will evolve. I’ll find out next.
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    I just ordered up supplies for the Seasonal Saltbox SAL. I love Plum Street Samplers designs so was easy to jump on board this train! I ordered a Fat Quarter of Oaken thinking I will stitch the way you described with 2 x 4.
    Also I love the fabric you used on back of Fall into Autumn. Great colors.
    Good luck in your new career endeavor.

    Hi, Lauren, so glad your FT showed up in my feed! Thank you, I've got a number of pattern, podcast and book ideas! A book suggestion for you, which is knitting humor. Have you heard of The Yarn Harlot? (If not, she's a Canadian knit blogger, back when blogging was new) I definitely recommend reading any of her books. She's a fabulous knitter and the humor in her books is totally laugh out loud. Happy Stitching! Lynn

    I watched all your Flosstubes this weekend. Thank you for sharing 1 strand a day. I am a seasonal stitcher but have a few WIPS that are for other seasons just sitting there but don't want to get too far behind on them. So I added a strand in each one yesterday and It felt good. I might not make it everyday but if I at least get a strand a week in I'll feel satisfied.

    Such lovely finishes! Look up blind/ladder stitch for a slightly more difficult but much more invisible way to handstitch pillow openings. I use whipstitch when I know I am going to put on trim but I kinda like the magic of blind stitching. I’ll be following your March Madness 🍀🍀🍀🍀 Maybe I will join in next year. I’m still quite overwhelmed with the 10 plus years of neglected WIPs, though getting less so every month, so I am not participating this year. Love watching your FlossTube and adore hearing about your reading.

    • @newhampshirestitcher
      @newhampshirestitcher  Рік тому

      Thank you for the tips! I have actually tried ladder stitch but to be honest I am not very good at hand sewing and I get frustrated with it quickly, thus the whip stitch! Maybe I need to dedicate a little more time to learning some new techniques so I don't have to add trim to everything. 😊
