    Hello from NC Vicki, thank you for sharing your beautiful pieces with us. The tips you give us on fabric choices are very helpful, your floss colors just pop. So glad you were able to visit your Mom, I miss my Momma every day.

    Great to see you back, Vicky! Always enjoy all your WIPS and seeing your progress. Wonderful that you were able to spend time with your mom and then stitching at the retreat. Sounds like great fun. I’ve got a Hawk Run that I’m itching to start. All of yours are beautiful! Thanks for sharing😊

    Thank you a million times for the ideas for storing your fabrics. I bought the boxes, clips and comic cards and spent 2 days putting it all away. What a great idea. I pulled fabric from every where and now it's in 2 boxes! I bought 4 more boxes and put my charts in them by designer laying them on their sides. The comic board was the marker for the designer! Great! What a space saver and so much easier to find my various charts! Thank you!!!!

    Good morning, I’m Jill from NoVA, Warrenton to be more exact. I was thrilled to see your WIP of Hawk run Hollow that you will make as a tribute to your dad. I did the exact same thing!! My dad was in the navy during WWII. I rearranged some of the blocks and changed a few words to put appropriate wording for his remembrance. I don’t know how to send you a pic of it, sorry😵‍💫. I also have done a couple of other Hawk Run. Fun stitching. Enjoy your blogs. Happy stitching, Jill

    Wow your stitching is amazing. And all those Wips. Some of the pieces you have chosen are lovely. And the fabric is just something else. I especially liked the flag piece. And the fabric you chose for that really makes it. I found your channel as Lindsi from Blushing Pink Stitches talks about your work on her videos all the time. I can see why now. Look forward to the next flosstube.

Thank you for keeping me company (and productive) on a quiet Sunday night. Take care - and enjoy your house guests. Many of us spend endless weeks/months alone. Sometimes by our own choice, and we enjoy our solitude. Sometimes ... life happened. Looking forward to your continued progress on these amazing WIPs.

    @marthaabstein6046 2 года назад

    Glad that you are back on floss tube. I know that you had decided to not put out as many as you had been doing but I have missed seeing your work. I like it because you are one of the few that enjoys stitching on Aida. I too like 16 or 18 count Aida. In the Teresa Kogut pattern that you started - you were concerned enough about the short cat leg that you pointed it out to us. That would tell me that it is going to bother you. Why not fix it right now and you won't be second guessing yourself.

    So good to see you again! Wow, did you have a lot today, & I loved every bit of it. I, too, refined my WIPGO, & will continue that way for 2023. I chose “7 day” larger focus pieces, but I choose 4/ month, & 2 of those 4 will be somewhere on my board. I feel like I’m getting so much further on those larger pieces!
    We are finally getting a Lazy Daisy in Yorktown this month & it’s going in our old AC Moore store - it’s going to be huge, & I cannot wait for them to open! So excited!
    Supposedly, there is still a little room at a December small retreat in Williamsburg; I’m calling today to check on that, & when/if I get the info I’ll email you in case you’re free. Sounds like you’re going to be very busy in December, but just in case, it should be a good one & I know we’d have so much fun! Best wishes to your daughter & her family as they prep for their CO move!
    Happy Stitching❤️🧵🪡

    Glad your back I really missed you. You always have so much to share. ? What kind of stitch makes your Elizabeth Weston border? From what I can tell it doesn't look like cross stitch. Is there a lot of 1 over 1 or specialty stitches in it. I love it but I know she is a big girl and am not that confident about specialty or 1 over 1. Thank you in advance. You sound like you have a great rotation plan going forward. I am planning something similar, two projects each week that get 3 days each and then a 3rd for a Sunday stitch.

    I need to thank you for keeping me company. I’m in Greece on vacation and I am sick with Covid. All I want to do is go HOME! So while the rest of my group are out and about I am thankfully stuck stitching on Quaker Pumpkins and watching you. I think your plans are smart, that way you get to stitch what you want within your categories. Question: Why didn’t you chose an Aida for Let Love Reign? I’m planning to do that one too so was curious. Take care!

    • @thevirginiastitcher
      @thevirginiastitcher  2 года назад +1

      Hello Angela, I am so sorry you have COVID on vacation ☹️. That was my biggest fear when I traveled to Italy in May. I am glad I could at least keep you company.
      I picked that fabric for Let Love Reign because I was using stash. It was big enough and the color worked. There are no specialty stitches so it can easily be stitched on Aida.
      I hope you feel better soon.

    I stitched One Nation. I stitched the states alternating in red and blue (each line) because I hate stitching with white. The stars are white of course. I started on Election Day 2020 and finished on Inauguration Day 2021. I then had it quilted like a flag. I love it. Vote Blue!

    I do have a question for you. Since you always stitch 2 over 2 do your find that the amount of floss needed (as listed on the chart) is enough? Do you buy extras? I enjoy stitching 2 over 2 but wonder if I will run short on floss. Thanks!😊

    • @thevirginiastitcher
      @thevirginiastitcher  2 года назад +1

      Thank you so much, Jeana.😊. I have learned to check the chart. If it indicates that it was stitched with one strand then I always at least double the amount of floss.

    As always, enjoyed your video. I have a question about your planned 3 day rotation for 4 pieces. Do you plan to stitch on ONLY that particular piece for your entire stitching time on their chosen day, or do you have a certain amount of time/stitches/floss to spend each day for that piece? I'm very interested as I need to find a bit of a plan so that a lot of my pieces aren't overlooked regularly. I just started a plan for October that I want to put a minimum of 500 total stitches on my full coverage pieces in a week. I only have 2 of them and I will split the 500 any way I feel like - all on one or split between the 2 of them. I don't count stitches on anything else tho (as I let pattern keeper do it), so am hoping to experiment and find a plan that suits me to put in place for sure in 2023. I'm very curious about any more insight you can give me about your set up and how it works. Thanks so much!! Steph from NJ
