    Thank you again! I am really loving all these weekly projects. I am learning so much and each piece goes into my journal. I now cant stop stitching! 🤩 I am so enjoying it, before I came across your channel I really didn’t think I could stitch. Thank you so much for all these wonderful videos. Xx

    This is yet another inspirational page. As I watched you stitch each little scrap on the page, it reminded me of all the little daily routine chores done to indirectly express love for others: taking out the trash, doing dishes, cleaning, running errands, etc. Little scrappy chores that make life brighter. I am keeping up on the pages even though it takes me the entire week sometimes. At some point, I will be doing a separate video to show my progress. Thank you for another page🌷🌷🌷

    Really lovely when common themes come together across fellow creative souls. Yesterday I shared a video using a very old and worn linen tea towel from my nanna and grandpa to make a slow stitch fold out heart. 💛 It’s wonderful when we can stitch memories into our work. Cheers, Christine p.s. and laughing now about your “spat on silk” or poor (wo)man’s iron 😆

    I think grannies are so important in our lives (and grandparents in general, I had a wonderful relationship with my paternal grandfather). I lived with my maternal grandmother (the one I use to talk about) until I was 39, when she passed away. She was a bit of a harsh woman, because of her difficult youth, but she passed on to me many things, she didn’t say do this or do that, but I learnt from watching her. My paternal grandmother was the second most important person in my life (the first was my mother), she passed away when I was 27 and we were best friends, she was the most amazing grandmother and I miss her till this day. That being said, I loved this project that I will surely make one of these days, even because both my grannies were friends and I have photos of them together.
    I adore French knots. I often do them without the tension on the thread so they look loopy and crazy! I love it 😂
    Thanks for showing Fredfred. I was a bit sad he didn’t say hello 👋🏻, but, well, I forgive him 😂
    See you soon, Kathryn, I so appreciate your company 🩷💛🤎💙🤍💚💜🩵♥️🧡🩶

What a wonderful idea. The Valentine’s connection of your two Grandmothers- that’s just intriguing! My paternal grandmother was born on Valentine’s Day. She inspired my creative side with her quilting. She was a very loving Granny. I live in her house now (if only for a while). She’s been gone now for decades. Thank you for stirring memories, I had actually forgotten her birthday was upon us!

    This was a wonderful project, fit for Valentines Day. I did not like my scrappy heart, well, until I did a bit of stitches on it. Now, it feels lovely, and it changed into a new cloth. Thanks for the inspiration. I think we all have our DNA in our projects in more ways than one!! LOL. Like your naughty (and Mine) needle in mouth! I hear your voice now every time I change my thread.

    You could dye your fabric with beets or avocado pits and most likely many other items to get shades of pink. I recently found that onion skins can make a vibrant yellow dye as does turmeric. A mixture might make orange? Plus I use the Easter egg dyes, when they go on clearance, to dye fabric and paper as well. There are lots of ways to color paper and fabric. Have a play and see what you end up with. I think I will make a stitch project with samples of the various dyed pieces.

    When I go to put my needle in my mouth - a lifelong habit = I now hear your voice in my head saying "naughty, naughty." 😁 You're going to break me of that habit! (Just hearing the horror story a friend of mine once related about a friend of hers who put her needle in her mouth with disastrous results wasn't enough apparently.) I also really appreciate you pointing out that if we're fretting over our running stitches (which I do) we're focused on the end result instead of the process. I will keep that in mind as I work on my heart this week.

    I so enjoyed this video and the mention of licking your threads, I have been a thread licker since I was about 8, so 60 of moistening the end of my thread to sometimes running the length through my mouth. I love the wetting the teeny fabric to iron it a tip I will remember for future use. Your scrappy heart is wonderful as is the story or your grannies. It brought up memories of my own grandmother who taught me to hand sew when I was 7. French knots will always be my nemesis but they have improved and no longer resemble mini cauliflower heads. Originating in the Colonial United states and still used in the deep South, cattywampus means something that is in disarray, that is askew, also called kittywampus.

      Thank you for the background on cattywampus, I actually like the sound of your cauliflower french knots 😁❤️

    Just found your channel and think I’m going to enjoy it very much. Others might like to look at another I found just over a year ago, called The Last Homely House. Both very inspiring 😍

    I have only recently discovered your channel and have been delightedly catching up on past episodes while stitching in my craft room during the last few rainy days here in my home in Charente. I couldn’t believe it when you said that you also lived in France. Your scrappy heart is a beautiful tribute to your grandmothers and an inspiration to all. Thank you so much for giving so much pleasure to us all!

    This one is outside my comfort zone and will push me to finding a safe space for relaxed stitching. The rebel in me resists social holidays that strongly associate color and shape with a day. I'll focus on the lovely sentiment behind your story and draw from that, remembering my Gram.

      I do understand that, we don't really celebrate either, me and hubby. It's just special for me because of my grannies ❤️

    Spit is ok - back in the day my mom used to spit on a Kleenex and wash dirty spots off my face. I always pullled a face but remembering this 6 decades later makes me smile ❤

      I was in a restaurant some years ago with my daughter ( she was about 30plus) and I licked my fingers, and wiped something off her face. “ Oh Mum I’m not 6 anymore “ It was an automatic reaction from me. 🤣😂🇦🇺🦘🤪
