I love St Paul's cathedral. Not only did Charles and Diana get married there, but my favorite scene from Mary Poppins was filmed there. The scene where they sing feed the birds. 🙂
It was lovely to meet you at the retreat and thank you for your company. It was such a special time and I hope we can all gather in 2025.
So glad you had a wonderful time. I enjoyed hearing your recap. London holds a special place in my heart as I lived there for a little while, in Earlscourt, and also spent one new year's eve in a very crowded Trafalgar Square so hearing about your adventures also made me sentimental in looking back. The pictures from the orphanage of the children were so touching. It will make Mary 395 that much more special as you stitch it. Take care, and happy stitching.
Thank you for sharing so many beautiful items from your retreat! I enjoyed seeing the orphanage. I had read the biography of George Mueller and the orphanages he created. It was so nice to see it in person. Thank you so much Stacy for sharing this😊
Fantastic video of your trip. Thank you for including pictures from the Bristol Orphanage and showing all your goodies from the retreat.
An absolute treat!!! Soo glad you all had such a wonderful time!!! Great pictures!!. Thank you sharing!!!! I loved every minute!!! See you next time!!! Sincerely, Barbara Southall
Hi friend, it was a PLEASURE to stitch "with" you this evening. I found myself smiling the entire video. You have such a beautiful way of describing such goodness. You offer such kind words and considerate comments about people as well as gifts. I appreciate your positive outlook. Thank you so much for sharing such a fun experience. You never fail to say something nice.
YOU help make this community a lovely place to land. Happy Stitching, loved your photos, your friend, Daleen
Hi Stacy! So glad you had a wonderful time at the retreat! Thanks for taking us along on your trip through pics and videos! So many beautiful gifts! Happy Stitching!
Oh my gosh! What a fabulous retreat. I have never been to one but with you talking and the pictures it was like I was there. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing about your retreat and your sightseeing. Beautiful
I agree 100% about put the phone down. Went to dinner with a friend not long ago. It was a night of watching her look at her phone. Sadly it makes me not want to go with her again. I know I shouldn't think that way, but like you said, time is precious. Thanks for sharing your UK experience.
Thank you for sharing your retreat highlights. Glad you had a great time.
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing trip & goodies with us, especially the Bristol Museum!
Our Daughter and Grandkids moved to East Sussex this past April. Trying to decide the best time to visit. Thx for this!
I really enjoyed your England retreat video.
Thank you for describing your trip. What a wonderful adventure. And that BOX!!! The trip to the orphanage -- so moving. I can just barely imagine it. And London -- I was last there in 2007 and just briefly before travelling out to Suffolk to visit friends. But I went to Evensong at St. Paul's...so lovely! Have fun using that banding and thread for that lo-o-o-o-ng sampler!
Thank you for sharing, Stacy. I had to put down what I was stitching on and pick up Mary 395. A magical retreat for sure.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful trip with us? Wow your museum pics are awesome. Loved hearing Big Ben.
I loved watching this! How special!
Thank you for sharing your experiences and haul from your trip. That sounds like the adventure of a lifetime.
I have a trip planned to the UK next summer to celebrate our 50th. I have a trip planned to the Attic in Nov. and Mary 365 is on my list of charts to purchase. George Mueller was a Christian man and his story is incredible of God's provision for the orphanage/children. There are books written about his ministry, almost an unbelievable story.
What a wonderful trip and experience you had. Thank you for sharing.
Great retreat recap. Both the retreat and your other travels sound amazing. Thank you for sharing with us.
Wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing ❤
It was lovely to meet you at the retreat. I am the local girl. Your projects are beautiful.
I really enjoyed the recap of your retreat! You did a wonderful job of sharing!

I am so jealous! Those pot pies are so good! You make my mouth water. So glad you had great time
So glad you had a fabulous time!
Oh, I just loved highlights from your trip and seeing all the goodies you received. Looks like everyone had a wonderful time!
Your pictures are beautiful! Loved hearing Big Ben!😊
Visiting England and especially London has been on my bucket list for ages. Going in 2025 to a retreat like this might be doable too! Please keep us posted on this and dates. Thank you for showing us your visit. ❤️
Great recap! Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for all the photos. They were fun and beautiful.
Wish I could have come with you. What a fabulous trip and a great retreat. Enjoyed all the clips and photos. Thank you.
Staci!!!! What a wonderful video! You did a great job sharing your experience and pulling the watcher in. It left me wanting more!❤
Thanks for sharing ! 🍁🍂
So glad you had a good time! I went to London back in 2001. It’s a beautiful city!
What a wonderful trip! Loved seeing all your projects & lovely gifts. Thanks for the video at the end ❤
Love hearing about your trip!
Thank you for sharing all of your adventures a
No treasures. WOW. I hope I can go sometime. Maybe in my dreams.
A wonderful video Stacy! It is great to hear everything you had to say about London and the retreat. I was hoping to get into the weekend next year but they sold out in hobby house. My, husband, myself and my son are hoping to go to England next year! My mom and dad and my whole family is,was from England. It is all about finances. We should be able to manage it it is is good to have such great friends. Luv Sue
Great recap of your trip to Great Britain. I love, love everything about this video. You received so many wonderful gifts. Great video of the sites you shared. Happy that your hubby went along with you. The orphanage was sad but very interesting. This was an amazing retreat. I will probably watch the video again!
OMGoodness! I loved seeing your photos! Looks like the trip of my dreams! I've been to London three times now and would love to go back again and this time also attend a retreat! I loved going to the Natural History Museum - I remember a room filled with birds - birds unlike any I had ever seen before! Just beautiful! Our first two trips we stayed in a hotel right on the Thames behind the London Eye and across from Big Ben...your photos made me wistful...Thank you for sharing!
Fabulous!!!
Always good to see you. I envied all you guys that got to go. My husbands family lived in Swindon via Liverpool for 35 years and we’d go visit all the time until they moved back to Canada 3 years ago. Sigh. Everytime we’d go we’d take the 10 pm flight and sleep all the way. Get there like noon their time rested lol I was so upset last time we were there the V and A had the samplers in lock up preparing a new wing. I knew it would prob be our last trip because they were moving back to CA and my husband was diagnosed with Benson Disease. I like mushy peas too. Everyone gave me theirs. I hated blood pudding. I think the Bristol museum would’ve made me cry. I never made it there. When they were in Bristol my nephew was in British 0:01 military and we all travelled to Scotland and northern england and London. I could kick myself for not insisting but they already humored me with a trip to Bath for Jane Austin tea. This was a wonderful video. Thanks for taking the time to share and visit.
To the retreat in London never been there but would love to go someday.
Fantastic
I’m a Halloween junkie too 👻
Hi Stacy - I was there too and I loved seeing your perspective on our amazing trip to Swindon. I sat here stitching, laughing and smiling with you as you shared the experience with us. ❣
Stacy, I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this video! What a wonderful recap of such an amazing retreat! I loved hearing all about it, and seeing your wonderful photos and videos of London, the orphanage, and the retreat. Thanks so very much for sharing your wonderful trip with us!❤️
So happy that you had such a great time! Looked like so much fun! London is a beautiful city!
I just adore Eliza Stringer, and the way your finished her! The trim is perfect, as is the plain black backing, and the fabric is perfectly on point! I know how much you love black samplers, and now I can see why! Nicola’s design is precious! 🖤
I loved your video. What a fantastic event this Sampler Weekend was. Being Dutch and many visits to the UK further I recognised a lot of things. Ànd my needlework shops are Annemieks in Roden and Soed Idee , Simones webshop. And just to tell you, you pronounce Soed like Good , only no G but a S 😅
How fun and memorable! Would love to visit England someday, I’m related to the cloptons he was a grandfather a knight from the 13th century I believe, the family has been recognized by the queen of England for one of longest traced family lineage! I wonder if he was there where you took the video, I’ve seen pictures of his tomb incapsulated in a knight coffin like the ones you shown? Not sure what you call them😊
Oh my. I absolutely lived this video. Downtown Abbey, The Knights Templar. Victoria's dress and shoes. I see this Era in the movies I watch and is very drawn to the history and culture. You did a great job of moderating and brought us on the trip with you. Again, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. THANK YOU.
Such a fabulous retreat and your company was so special to be with !!! I miss you all and will treasure the memories !!!
Thank you for sharing 💕 What a fantastic trip/retreat!! The notes written by two children at the orphanage, brought tears. Makes my heart happy that they were shown kindness. ❤
Fun recap!! And I was there!! 😂 but it’s fun to relive it again! My friends try to be excited about it but being non stitchers it’s so hard to explain just what a huge high you are on after TGBSW! I have family living just outside of London so we also combined types of trips. London , the coast, my sisters… but the retreat was INCREDIBLE: was fun to meet you also :-)
That scissor holder is adorable! So glad you had a great time! Thanks for sharing! 💝
Dear Stacey, I’m so glad to see you back, and I am enjoying your London video so very much, but I had to pause it to thank you for your beautiful comments about cherishing the one you’re spending time with (@ 11:57)…what you said is so very true, and your remarks brought me to tears. I feel the exact same way, and I know exactly what you mean, since I have also gone through similar experiences. I am so very thankful to hear that you and your husband enjoyed y’all’s time some together, and it was such a pleasure to hear about everything you both enjoyed! Thank you so much for that special reminder!!! We are not promised tomorrow, so let’s cherish each other today! 😇💙
Much love,
Meline
Thank you for a wonderful video about your trip to London and the Great British Sampler Retreat! Your gifts and photos were special. Glad you had such fun.
Thanks for sharing your time in England! I loved everything you showed. I especially loved seeing the children from the orphanage! Also I LOVED seeing your tour of everything at the end!
Wow! You have such a special way of recalling your retreats and trips. It was nice to see London and Swindon through your eyes. The Muller Museum is fantastic. I'm glad you and your hubby got to go to the UK again. Happy stitching.❤
It is so fun to see your delight. London is a fun city. The retreat recap was terrific
Gosh, what a great time you had! My heart was really touched by all you shared. Most e by your visit to the orphanage. How incredible to see the pictures of the little ones and how their lives were touched. My husband came into the room, and I told him you had been to a stitching retreat in London. He said, "Let's go!" I am going to hold him to that and look for info for 2025!
Oh 👏🏻 my 👏🏻 goodness 👏🏻
I am living vicariously through you for sure! You always provide such great content sweet friend ❤
Hi Stacy. Really enjoyed watching & hearing about yr trip and retreat. Those scissor nolders were beautiful. Take care. Xx
I loved your video of your trip to Great Britain! Your trip to Bristol was especially meaningful to me too! Such a beautiful retreat!❤❤❤
You did such a great job and I loved it! Hope all is well with "the Boys"! hugs
It looks like you had a wonderful time on your visit :D I'm well overdue for a trip back home to the UK I think, maybe I can time it to include a retreat over there, that would be fun! I love the wooden scissor holder with the mouse...did you buy that from someone who has an online shop maybe? I'd love to get one ey😍
Loved hearing about your retreat experience and seeing your photos. We went to Europe in 2004 and the Victoria and Albert was absolutely amazing to see! Luckily we got there about 9am and had plenty of time to wander the halls.
That was such a great weekend. I enjoyed it so much. ❤❤❤
Hi Stacey, I am also in London right now at the International Embroidery Convention which is different to the one you experienced. I am from Australia, I couldn't attend both but it would have been wonderful. Great to see we can experience great embroidery from all over the world. It is such a unifying activity.
Wow….

When you took out the drawers there was another liner in the back behind the drawers it looked like
I was viewing your Christmas Parade RUclips and heard you say you live in So California. OMG! I live in So California too! I also got to visit London years ago when my daughter was doing a Study abroad summer ….. I’m so glad I heard of your channel from the AZ stitchers. Do you know of any LNS locations in So California? Again, so happy to find you on RUclips.
It’s so great to hear from you. There are no LNS’s in So Cal at all. Such a bummer. The closest needlework shop that is worth a visit is the Attic in Phoenix or Stitchers Paradise in Las Vegas. Both are fantastic! Where abouts in So Cal are you? I’m always thinking about having a stitch get together ❤️❤️
@@911stitcher I’m in Alhambra (LA County). My daughter lives in AZ and have gone out to visit The Attic with her. Great place…..Ooooh, a stitch with fellow cross stitchers sounds really cool. I’ve asked Top Knot Stitcher how you hear of Cross Stitch retreats on the West Coast….. she did say she heard of one in Anaheim coming up. The one she had been to in Sacramento was more of a needle punch retreat. Btw…. Do you by any chance know Angie of the Eclectic Stitchers in AZ?

Stacy! Greetings from Dallas, Texas!! I just found your flosstube and love it! Enjoyed the recap of the retreat tremendously! Do you know the company/individual that made the scissor block you bought! I really liked it and would love to be able to get one. Thanks so much!!
Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I would send an email to Nicola Parkman. She was our host and it was her pop up shop where all the fabulous items were for sale. I know she would love to help and could tell you. Her email is handsacrosstheseasamplers@gmail.com
On the Mary 395, do you carry your Thread between letters?
Sorry for the delay in writing you back. Yes, I drag them if it’s not too far. If it’s more than like 5 stitches then no.
Do you know who made the sampler scissor holder?
I would contact Nicola Parkman. She was in charge of the retreat and all her fantastic goodies she had for sale. I know she would be able to tell you. Her email is handsacrosstheseasamplers@gmail.com
Stacey, also did they work without a pattern?
Hi Donna, Sorry, I’m not understanding your question. Let me know what you were wondering about and I can help you ❤️
@@911stitcher You know we have cross stitch books with the pattern design so did they work from a chart?
😊🪡🧵🤗🤩
What a great recap, and I loved looking at all your photos. Thank you very much for sharing your trip with us.
