That floral pattern pic is so gorgeous with the gold border. I would stop stitching it and put it away. It looks too spring. Please ask your friend that does the great color conversions to make the floss match the pic. Then you can eventually start the design you had really wanted to stitch. Or you could match it another time. You have too many things you are enjoying stitching to hassle with that one right now. I remember you knitting that baby outfit. He looks adorable in it. Such a blessing. Always a great video! Oh, I bought the Remember Me pattern. Yours is so lovely, and that border is gorgeous. I’m 70 and can’t find an emoji on this tablet…my phone I could…but I made it to the end. lol
You’re so right. I can save it for later when o have the time to do the conversion. I’m not going to worry about it right now. Thank you for the wisdom my friend. I appreciate you! Happy stitching and thanks for watching 💖💖
Loved stitching with you today! Malachi had a lot to say today 😂 I love it 💕. My youngest is about a month younger and he decided to learn to blow raspberries with his 3mo leap lol. So when he wakes up in the mornings that’s how I’m greeted. Little turkey just blowing raspberries in the air 😂😂.
The sampler is pretty but I totally get how disappointing it is when the colors aren’t what you wanted. Your stitches are great and your knitting is beautiful! Love the sweater you’re making for your grandma. Such love between you. The smile on Malachi brightened my day. He is just so darn cute! God love him. ❤❤❤
I agree with you on the colors of the new start. That's alot of stitching if you're not in love with it. I'd cut my losses, put adide and someday do your own conversion. Love your flosstubes🎉
I'm normally a "get some type of finish out if every project no matter what" kind of stitcher but those colors are completely different from the pattern image. I would say it's much better in this case to go ahead and put everything back in stash and focus on the projects you actually love to work on. Also I love seeing your knitting and your son looks so adorable in it!
Megan…..late to the party again……I have been on jury duty last week and next……just purchased the last 32 Count Jackson Fabric Sienna….so appreciate your recommendations…You always hit it out of the park with your knitting the utilitarian jacket is SMASHING…..Family is our Blessing here on Earth….let’s be kind and give a smile when we can this week…..and Malachi is Magic!
Hi Sherry! you are so right, as always LOL. we are so blessed to have family in our lives. Definitely trying to not take any of it for granted. Hope jury duty is over for ya and if not I hope they are letting you stitch or knit or something! Hope you have a great week friend. Thank you for watching.
🦃 Always a pleasure to spend stitchy time with you! Love all you stitch and knit! Thanks so much for keeping us enabled and coming back for more! Happy Stitching!
Yes, Jackson Fabric Arts! I've been stitching on her fabric since the beginning and just LOVE the feel of it. I've got some London Fog that I've been holding onto until the exact perfect stitch, hahaha! I'm actually doing a round robin with Brittany! She's wonderful!
Brenda and Laura at the Attic this year. I too find watching their video to be an inspiration and therapeutic time to release my personal challenges. I can’t wait to see them again, on video and in person. Praying for all to be at peace and be healed. Love m our stitching family.
Love your floss tubes! Feel bad that you don’t like your new start. I think I would finish that center motif and see if you like this as something different than you had thought😊 originally . If not make the center motif into a pillow or put it in a small frame. You and Cam are so good at color conversions. Maybe you guys can do a color conversion that is close to the way you wanted it to look.As always, a joy to hear that beautiful baby boy! You’re knitting is beyond my comprehension! I don’t know how you are able to do everything you say and have it come out just beautiful! You are definitely a master knitter! Happy stitching!
Hi, Megan! I just love all those fabrics from Jackson Fabric Arts you use in your projects, especially the London Fog. Her fabrics are so versatile and different. I love them! 🦉 I agree with you about the Floral Sampler…the colors on the cover are what I love. Have a great week, dear friend! Love, Meline. ❤❤ ps …Malakai is such a beautiful blessing! That picture of him with your mom…OMG!!! Love, love, love!!!!!
Hi Meline! Hope you had a nice weekend and are enjoying your week. Amira had her first cheer practice yesterday and OMG it was SO cute! What a blast. She is so excited about it all. Her first game isn’t this weekend but it’s next so she has 3 more practices till her game. Such a good time. I definitely put that sampler away for now. Idk if I’ll work on it. I don’t really want to do a full conversion at the moment but maybe some day I’ll take it to my LNS and make one up. Thank you! Malakai is growing so fast it’s crazy. Anyway hope you’re well as always! Love you so much!!
@@TheSeattleStitcher Awww, Amira’s first cheer practice!!! Girl, I can’t even imagine how adorable she was!!! I bet she’s so excited for their first game 🎉💕👍🏼!!! I’m hoping you’ll have some video next time?🤩🥰
Just found you, and enjoyed your update so much! Love your shirt-I am new to flosstube and shared a Peanuts Halloween craft recently. Love Halloween stitching and decor-so fun!
Immediately click when I saw notification to watch! Don’t know what you going to show yet but very excited to see! 😀🥰 Love your new hair, absolutely stunning 😻
Unfortunately they base their conversion off the existing color key so the called for DMC, classic colorworks etc. the colors are all off so they would have to actually look at the chart and do a personal 1for1 conversion and I don’t know if that is offered. 😩
Hi Megan Love all of your WIPS - Very Pretty. I am so glad that everyone in your Family is doing well. Love the Pictures - ❤️ Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏☕️🧵🪡🧵❤️
Megan, the orange fabric is so perfect for a Halloween stitch! Love it! I am still in awe of your colourwork knitting. I really want to make a sweater with colourwork. It was a goal for this year, but doesn't look like it will be happening. Maybe my New Year cast on.
Thank you so much for wishing! I hope you get that Teresa kogut because it’s SO good! I just love it. Something about it is still different from other Quaker Halloween pieces. Im obsessed.
Pack it up and move along. Life is short and there are too many beautiful projects to do to get bogged down. The evertotes conversion idea for roxy floss is a great idea though. Hannah the floss boss is amazing.
I have definitely moved on for now! Lol the sucky part is to make conversions themselves they base it off the called for flosses but this project that’s the problem. The flosses are all so off from the cover. I wonder if they would do a custom 1-1 conversion. They would have to sit down with the cover photo for quite some time LOL.
I agree about choosing a pattern and the colors don’t look the same as the picture. Now I pull the colors and look at the pattern to see if they are what they show. I change them if they don’t look right. So happy your family is healthy and doing well. Your knitting is amazing!
I love your knitting! It was fun to see your stitching also and I will look at some of your projects for my use. I was very inspired by your sweater knitting, though. Where do you buy your Jamison yarn? 🕊️. I chose a peaceful bird to show that I stuck with you to the end. Also, I didn’t want to ask but I am so glad that Malachi is doing well. He is adorable and such an alert baby. Also, on the floral stitch I would stop now and find colors that you were seeing in your mind. You could frog the stitching or maybe put it up for sale for someone else to stitch.
Unfortunately the shop I ordered from for years isn’t open any longer so bummed. I think there are stores that do sell it tho in the states if you give it a quick google. Thank you so much for watching and I totally agree about the project. I’m moving on and UFOing it for sure.
So happy your Grandmother is home and healing❤ Loved your stitching as always. On your sampler with off color way; l would pull out the floss called for for the part you are stitching and compare against the pattern. If the total are mismatched, l would not complete. Good luck.
🐦 so happy to hear about ur grandma being back home and on the mend 😊 the sweater u r knitting for her is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL😍 Actually, ALL ur knitting is absolutely gorgeous!!! I know u said u emailed the designer about the color differential btwn called fors and model...is it poss they used a filter to make it look more vintage? 🤷♀️ the flosses r really pretty, but i so get what u mean that u were expecting a certain mood. The design is gorgeous and id be hard pressed to ufo it, but at the same time there are SO many amazing samplers out there, and stitchy time is super valuable, so if it doesnt bring u joy id move onto another piece. Or maybe in a few years ull go back to it and decide u want to do it after all... i guess that advice was no help as i went both ways 😂 Anyway, happy stitching!🐈⬛🪡❤️
Thank you so much! I totally am UFO’ing it LOL. I decided it’s not worth the time right now. I honestly wonder if they did filter it. It’s such a bad conversion 😩
I’m not watching a whole lot of flosstubes these days but I love watching your videos. Seem to have the same taste in patterns. On one of your last videos you showed the purple flowers kit. I had been working on mine in August like everyday. It’s going fast! I don’t know if I can attach a pic here; I wish I could show you. Abandon the pattern is my advice. 😉
I love your fabric colors with the Silhowitches. I’m doing mine with a purple theme! The sampler issue is a bummer. The picture looks more like autumnal flowers with golds/muted colors but the colors provided are definitely giving 1800s version of Lisa Frank. If you aren’t enjoying it and you are only at the beginning I wouldn’t keep pushing myself to do a big project that isn’t fun. I am totally new to flosstube and you are one of first subscribes so I haven’t binged watched your videos yet to know if you are a seasonal stitcher but if you are and don’t want to restart maybe put it aside for spring when bright color makes a comeback.
I LOVE the purple idea omg that’s going to be awesome. I totally think you’re right that I might pull it out next spring lol. Never know what I’ll be in the mood for then. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for sharing your stitching! I just started a pattern that I was drawn to because of the image, and was so disappointed when I pulled the threads. I was able to really see the color difference, and there were not that many colors. I did end up doing a custom color conversion based on the image. The size pattern you have though would be difficult to do that with! If it isn't something you're enjoying, maybe set it aside for now. Our stitching time should be something we enjoy, especially when it is limited. You may have a different perspective in a few weeks!
Your new mic works well, no background noise. Good for you getting so much done while doing a Floss-tube. You have so many beautiful cross stitch and knitting projects. Your little guy is so sweet. So nice to hear Amira enjoys school and is doing well!
Twisting the floss is a brilliant idea, thank you for sharing. For myself I would not keep stitching on a project that was not turning out as expected. Disappointing though.
For that piece you are struggling with. I like the both, but I bet you could find some golden browns you would like better. Wouldn’t be that hard to frog or start over. I also love the orange fabrics you choose.
Thank you! I definitely put it away for now lol honestly I don’t know if I’ll get back to it or not but someone suggested to pull it out in the spring and maybe I’ll feel the colors then.
I think you lucked out finding the anchor spools in black went to 2 Joanns and none. one had a clearence sign on the anchor spools one didn't. but no black . bummer. .....😮
I'd cut my losses on the new start. The colors look flat compared to that cover and gives a much different look. I love the cover colors tho and the floss drop is beautiful. Just messing with the expectations!
Thank you for mentioning the color thing on the the Crowthers piece. There is another flosstuber I saw stitching this pattern and thought it was so pretty, especially the colors, but she never mentioned the differences. I thought I might want to stitch it, but if the colors are that different, I don't think I would like it either. It's unfortunate because what really draws you in are the beautiful colors. Will you share if you come up with a solution? Loved seeing all your projects! 😊
I definitely will let you know if I ever do a conversion myself. I don’t imagine it being any time soon. I still love the flosses but man do they not look like the cover LOL.
I really am having trouble deciding what to do. The flosses are still gorgeous I think I’m just apprehensive because I don’t know what the final outcome will be. And thank you! Love Jackson fabric arts.
@@TheSeattleStitcher I think it would be best then to wait until you can do the conversion or Cam can. You have limited stitching time with having little ones, so you should only stitch things you know you like.
So the anchor black you bought at Joanns? Is it crosstitch floss or some other type of thread/floss?It looks really good on your project. I have something that needs anchor black. Love your stitching Take care.....
Honestly, if you aren't in love with the project, I wouldn't spend time on it. You don't necessarily have to give it up forever. You could put it away and see how you feel about it later but honestly life is way too short to stitch anything you don't love.
I'd stop Susan until you have time to modify the flosses so they match the picture, as the picture is stunning!!!!! Perhaps the Gloriana Silks are a better representation, as I did see the DMC vs G Silks vs CC noted as three different colour palettes. Mike sounds great - no background noise at all.
I am totally putting it aside for now. Hopefully I’ll have time to make my own conversion some day. Thank you for the feedback on the mic! I think I’ll keep using it.
You could contact one of several Xstitch stores to ask for a color conversion for your sampler…The Attic, Keepsakes, Shepherd’s Needle etc. it’s a beautiful chart and you should be happy with it. You didn’t say what the designer’s response was?
Unfortunately I believe all of these store make a conversion based off the existing floss list. Ie DMC, classic colorworks etc. so I think the flosses they pick would also be just as bright. Someone would have to sit down and do a 1 for 1 conversion from scratch. I’m not sure if a shop will do that but I’ll have to look into it in the future if I keep the pattern. The designer told me there were no mistakes but that I could make up my own floss list.
I would say that if you are very unhappy with what you have so far on Susan Crowthers i woukd cut your losses and ditch it. Maybe Cam could help with your colors? Or Bridgen? If you still want to stitch it❤
I think I might just be cutting my losses haha! I think I’ll revisit it later and see how I feel. Maybe I’ll have more time to out into a conversion at some point.
This may come across as harsh, that is not the intent behind these words. The Cross Stitch you showed first, you have some options. 1. Stop sewing it, and perhaps gift it to a person who likes the colours provided. 2. Convert it to the colours in the photo. 3. Ask a person who regularly converts colours to do this for you. 4. Salvage what you can of the fabric, or frog, and sew something else instead. 5. I would not complete the one bit and then make the decision, this is just putting off the decision you need to make. I did enjoy the rest of the video and wish you all the best with the problem. 😊
I think I’m going to just put it away for now lol! I’m not sure when I’ll pull it back out but I might do a conversion if I have time some day. It’s so pretty. Thank you for wishing! 💖
Hi Megan, great video and love seeing your knitting . My opinion: would stop stitching that floral chart with those colors and use fabric for another project. Don't just stitch that big floral motif. Just the way you explain it to us. Don't think you should waste time and then never finish it or make it into alittle ? You never display. Take care❤
That floral pattern pic is so gorgeous with the gold border. I would stop stitching it and put it away. It looks too spring. Please ask your friend that does the great color conversions to make the floss match the pic. Then you can eventually start the design you had really wanted to stitch.

What about overdying with coffee or tea to tone it down ? I agree with asking for a conversion from a thread dyer. I like the cover photo as well.

Regarding Susan Crowthers, have you considered giving the called for flosses you are using a 'coffee dunk' to see if that softens the brightness?

I'd cut my losses on the new start. The colors look flat compared to that cover and gives a much different look. I love the cover colors tho and the floss drop is beautiful. Just messing with the expectations!
Yes! the colors are so not living up to my expectations lol. Definitely putting it away for now.
Thank you for mentioning the color thing on the the Crowthers piece. There is another flosstuber I saw stitching this pattern and thought it was so pretty, especially the colors, but she never mentioned the differences. I thought I might want to stitch it, but if the colors are that different, I don't think I would like it either. It's unfortunate because what really draws you in are the beautiful colors. Will you share if you come up with a solution? Loved seeing all your projects! 😊
I definitely will let you know if I ever do a conversion myself. I don’t imagine it being any time soon. I still love the flosses but man do they not look like the cover LOL.
Tough decision because the picture is very pretty but the floss colors do not do it justice. Love your silhowitches quacker . The fabric is gorgeous🕊️
I really am having trouble deciding what to do. The flosses are still gorgeous I think I’m just apprehensive because I don’t know what the final outcome will be. And thank you! Love Jackson fabric arts.
I'd stop & change the floss colors.
I think I might just have to. 😩
Your time is precious and if you don't love it, move on.
So true!
I would DEFINITELY stop now. If it's not what you really wanted, it's not worth your precious stitchy time.🐦
What if you aged it with the walnut crystals? I agree, it doesn’t have the same look as the picture.
Good idea. Maybe I’ll try that if I do some back to it. Thank you.
I would stop and move on to another sampler. Give it some distance before you decide.
Yes! Putting it away for now for sure.
You could compare your fancy floss to DMC to see how much it's off. Maybe it's the dye lots.
It’s really close to the called for DMC so I really think the conversion is just bad unfortunately.
@@TheSeattleStitcher I think it would be best then to wait until you can do the conversion or Cam can. You have limited stitching time with having little ones, so you should only stitch things you know you like.
@@debwinslow5888 so true. Thank you!
So the anchor black you bought at Joanns? Is it crosstitch floss or some other type of thread/floss?It looks really good on your project. I have something that needs anchor black. Love your stitching Take care.....
It’s cross stitch floss. 6 gate and a just like all the others but I found a whole bobbin! Love it.
@@TheSeattleStitcher Wow Thank you I'm going to go get some💚
Honestly, if you aren't in love with the project, I wouldn't spend time on it. You don't necessarily have to give it up forever. You could put it away and see how you feel about it later but honestly life is way too short to stitch anything you don't love.
So true. I think I’m going to put it away for now and possibly just use the flosses for other things.
If colors do n I t please you ,start again. Choose your own colors to match picture you do like.
🖤 👯♀️ looking so beautiful 😻

Hehe ilysm 🥹💖
I just got to the part where you mention me 😭 omg
@@Bri10ny my precious bby angel 🥹💖
I'd stop Susan until you have time to modify the flosses so they match the picture, as the picture is stunning!!!!! Perhaps the Gloriana Silks are a better representation, as I did see the DMC vs G Silks vs CC noted as three different colour palettes. Mike sounds great - no background noise at all.
I am totally putting it aside for now. Hopefully I’ll have time to make my own conversion some day. Thank you for the feedback on the mic! I think I’ll keep using it.
You could contact one of several Xstitch stores to ask for a color conversion for your sampler…The Attic, Keepsakes, Shepherd’s Needle etc. it’s a beautiful chart and you should be happy with it. You didn’t say what the designer’s response was?
Unfortunately I believe all of these store make a conversion based off the existing floss list. Ie DMC, classic colorworks etc. so I think the flosses they pick would also be just as bright. Someone would have to sit down and do a 1 for 1 conversion from scratch. I’m not sure if a shop will do that but I’ll have to look into it in the future if I keep the pattern.
The designer told me there were no mistakes but that I could make up my own floss list.
@@TheSeattleStitcher well rats. I bet someone who’s very talented will see this and come to the rescue!
Cute frames 🤓 do you order online?
I got them through a sponsorship a while back! I can’t remember the name now I’m awful lol.
I would say that if you are very unhappy with what you have so far on Susan Crowthers i woukd cut your losses and ditch it. Maybe Cam could help with your colors? Or Bridgen? If you still want to stitch it❤
I think I might just be cutting my losses haha! I think I’ll revisit it later and see how I feel. Maybe I’ll have more time to out into a conversion at some point.
I would stop stitching and hope that someone else agrees with you and has the time to do a beautiful conversion
You're so right and I can use the flosses for something else for sure.
Hi friend ...I think your silks are close to matching the first one you showed that the colors don't match the pic ...

This may come across as harsh, that is not the intent behind these words. The Cross Stitch you showed first, you have some options. 1. Stop sewing it, and perhaps gift it to a person who likes the colours provided. 2. Convert it to the colours in the photo. 3. Ask a person who regularly converts colours to do this for you. 4. Salvage what you can of the fabric, or frog, and sew something else instead. 5. I would not complete the one bit and then make the decision, this is just putting off the decision you need to make. I did enjoy the rest of the video and wish you all the best with the problem. 😊
I think I’m going to just put it away for now lol! I’m not sure when I’ll pull it back out but I might do a conversion if I have time some day. It’s so pretty. Thank you for wishing! 💖
Hi Megan, great video and love seeing your knitting . My opinion: would stop stitching that floral chart with those colors and use fabric for another project. Don't just stitch that big floral motif. Just the way you explain it to us. Don't think you should waste time and then never finish it or make it into alittle ? You never display. Take care❤
You’re so right! I’m putting it down for now and some day I can probably get around to a conversion of my own. Who knows when LOL.
@@TheSeattleStitcher you go girl!👊
