We need flosstube MEDALS. You should get the first one. Admire your plan to watch the games & get a boat load of stitching done, to boot. Good plan. Great stitching planned.
LOL, too true!!! I will ask my husband if he will give me a medal, lol.
I so enjoy your updates and all your stitching. You have accomplished so much!! I day dream of the days when life is a bit slower and I can watch 8 hours of Olympics and stitch. You e earned it!! Enjoy.
Brenda...lovely plans...best wishes and happy stitching ❤
What a fun challenge!!! Your 30-a-day is stunnnnnnning, not sure I have seen anyone else so far along.
Thank You! That one is definitely challenging me to keep caught up!
Hi Brenda I love your planning for your projects set up for the Olympic's. I have been stitching on my Christmas in July projects and enjoying them. I went to Stitchery X-Press the other day and all I can say is WOW!!!! This store is amazing and I live only 5 minutes away from my home. Guess where I will be shopping. Brenda if and when you are out this way to Stitchery X-Press please let me know I would love to meet you. Cindy and Brook loved seeing you last time at their store. I turn 72 on my birthday this Saturday. I will be stitching that day and may go out with my hubby to dinner.
Brenda you are person that I admire and talented and gifted lady. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless
Pat
Thank You Pat!!!!! So glad you found Stitchery X-Press! And I am envious that you only live five minutes away!! Yes, I will let you know next time I will be there :)
You get a gold medal just for all that planning!! Amazing!
Thank You Joanne! LOL I think sometimes I enjoy the planning as much as the stitching :)
I think the planning would be so much fun!
I went to Elsa Williams School
Of Needlework in Massachusetts. She was in California then. I took a class there. I loved her stitchery. She was known for her crewel stitchery. We had lunch there. Her home had once belonged to Winslow Homer the artist. She did crewel work on her upholstered chairs in her living room. She did every bedroom upstairs in different types of stitchery. Quilts, needlepoint, crewel etc. at lunch we sat at a glass top table where we could see the chair seats matched the China. Beautiful. We had cold asparagus soup etc delicious. What a fun class. I still have the crewel patterns in cloth from that trip.
Oh my goodness, that sounds amazing!!!!!! Your story inspires me to put more of my needlework out in my house to enjoy :)
Really cool idea for stitching along during the olympics. Can't wait to see your results :)
This is so fun! Love these ideas. ❤️
Thank You Joanna!
You are so devoted to your stitchings.
Thank You Shirley, it is my happy place :)
I love your Houses. From a distance, the barn looks like a weird Santa in the video. 😂 Your Elsa Williams piece is so beautiful. I would never have looked at it twice with the picture on the pattern. Your plans are great. Have fun!
LOL!! Funny what our eyes try to interpret :) Thank You!
I always enjoy your planning videos! Can’t wait to see your medal tally at the end!
Thank You Jackie!
Happy stitchyolympics ❤ I have 2 going, counting stitches with olympic related words - one in English, the second in Finnish!
I too really enjoy watching the olympics, the athletes and stitching while watching. I too have the Gnomes olympics to work on 💞🤗
Thank You! So glad to hear your olympic stitching plans :)
Good luck with your plans! Have a great time at the retreat! Happy stitching 💜
Thank You Lidia!!!
Congratulations on your retirement!🥳
Thank You Lauren!
Hi Brenda. Hope your retreat goes/went well. Good luck with your Olympics goals! Love the gnomes 😂. Looking forward to seeing your Wee Village sone time after the Games finish. ⚘️
Thank You Margaret! The retreat was fabulous! Yes, I will include a short clip of the wee village in the next video :)
Wow, what a challenge. But I know you will make it. Happy stitching!
Thank You Karin!
You have very ambitious plans Brenda 😊 Go for Gold 🥇
Thank You!!
Amazing plans. So fun! Good luck - go for gold 🙂
Thank You Liz!!
Looks like fun! I’m already planning to participate in thenaptimestitcher challenges, but I like your challenge for the number of medals we win each day. My son likes to track statistics and he usually likes to follow our medal count. I’m thinking I could work on my “travel” piece for those numbers of minutes, since I don’t get as much time on that one during the summer. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yay! Sounds like a great plan Sarah!!!
Oh what fun planning out 'Olympic Stitching'! An additional way to enjoy our hobby! Thanks also for the summer wall tour. 💕
New to your channel! Love, love, LOVE all the things you are stitching!! I am not a huge gnome fan but that chart is just cute as a button! I may have to stitch that!
I have never done a full coverage nor have I done the parking method while stitching. If you have any tips for this I'll take them :)
I just absolutely LOVE how organized you are....love it! This and the revolving Maynia over the years is in my wheel house. Wish I could participate in some of that but I never have more than 2 pieces going at a time.
Thank You Dorothy! Sometimes I think I enjoy the organizing as much as the stitching, lol! Two pieces at a time is fabulous!!! Whatever works for you is the best!
Can’t wait to see how many medals you get!
Thank You Diane! :)
P.S. Your planning and work on your Olympic Journal is a testament to your love for stitching. Thank you for sharing.
Such kind words :)
So lovely, Brenda! Look forward to your flosstubes! Blessings!
Thank You Cathy!
So fun to hear your Olympic plans! I just adore how organized you are!
thank You Kathy!
Love your Olympic plans! I'm obsessed too and watch a lot of the games when they're on! 🇺🇸
Thank You! Yay!!! So glad you will be stitching and watching as well :)
Brenda....oh how I love your best laid plans!! You are a GOLD STITCHER in my book!! I love the sameness and do ability...so I'm m just going to stitch my behind off during this time frame and try to finish some OLD WIPS!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2024!!
Hi Karen!!!!!!!!! I think your plan sounds Fabulous!!!!!!!!!
Gosh, you are so productive! I love the Gnomes piece you are starting, so cute! I remember your stitching for the winter games two years ago. Seeing your notes from then brought back some good memories.
Thank You Karla! And thank you for watching for so many years! :)
How is retirement going? A few two weeks now at least?
Alternate pieces if one falls out😂😂😂
The houses look great!
I don’t count stitches or hours for stitching….. I’m just glad I can a couple of stitches in per day. This employment gig really gets in the way.😂😂
Thank You Char! Retirement is FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A couple of stitches a day is wonderful as well, especially when you are working :)
was für eine tolle Planung und Projekte
Thank You Laula! I love to plan :)
Fabulous plans! I’m getting back into stitching after a couple of decades. The cross stitching world has changed a lot since I last worked Dimensions GOLD stockings for my children and grandchildren. Or maybe I’ve just been clueless. 😊 Question: I’ve begun collecting the Fabulous House pattern series. However, I’ve not started them. I would like to stitch all of them on one piece of fabric as you are, but I’d like to start with house #2 (January-ish) so that the houses correspond somewhat to the 12 months. Therefore Houses #11 and #1 would coincide with October and December. I know. I know. This is my project. But I would like your thoughts. Btw, seeing your Fabulous Houses is what prompted me to order the released patterns last month. 🏠 ❤
Thank You! Ohhhh, I bet your stockings are just stunning!!! I think your idea to change the order of the houses sounds fabulous! They are all the same size so you could stitch them in any order you want :)
Thank you! I was planning to wait until January 1 to begin, however, I might not be able to wait. Especially after seeing yours. Hope you enjoyed your retreat.
Love your Olympic ideas…I have already started my own challenges but will make a chart and plan for the medals. Isn’t it lovely not to return to school? 🦉🪡🧵🔆
Great idea! Yes, it is absolute bliss!!!
I swear you are the fastest stitcher on the planet!
LOL, I don't think so. Maybe just persistent :)
❤. Love all your planning! Have a wonderful time at the retreat!
Thank You!
Love your plans Brenda- your fabulous houses look FABULOUS!!!
Grin, thank you!!
Thank you for your video. You are so ambitious! I'm just going to work on my Gnomes, whenever I can. I am looking forward to seeing your progress and your medal count! You said a different hastag than you listed in your info. Which is it, I would like to post my progress on my Gnomes on it. Take care and happy stitching!
Hi Christine! So glad you are stitching the gnomes as well, you just have to stitch when you can right? Sorry about the different hashtags! I will check both hashtags, but the one in the notes is the correct one :)
Brenda your plans are so ambitious and fun at the same time!! I kind of wanna copy it all!! Happy stitching my friend ❤
Thank You Sian!!!! I so enjoyed your last video!!!
@@Handworkmaniac ah thank you Brenda! I hope you are enjoying the Olympics 🥇 the swimming last night was epic! And Simone 🤸🥇
Wow! I am sooo impressed with your plans. ❤❤❤❤
Thank You!
Thank you for the video. Enjoy your retreat and the Olympics.
Thank You!
Thank you for sharing. Good luck with your challenge. It sounds like fun. Happy watching and stitching. ❤
Thank You Linda!
Great plans! Have a wonderful time at the retreat.I am also going to watch & stitch❤
Yay! So fun to stitch and watch the Olympics :)
Excellent plan! I will be stitching the Gnome Olympics with you! Happy stitching!!
Yay! Thank You!
Enjoy the Games. It's the only time I wished I had a TV lol. Great Games plan🤗🇬🇧
Thank You!
I love this! I might have to do this but adjust it a little for the 1 piece I am working on right now. You come up with the best ideas!
Thank You! And yes, come up with your own plan that works!!! :)
Wow ambitious goals! Awesome. Your houses are looking great! Oh such a cute olympics piece. That is cute! I will just continue being monogamous with my full coverage thanks to Colettes full coverage feb.. lol😂 and we don’t have tv so no Olympics for me. Oh the teresa kogut one is fabulous. When you said worked on zimmerman coverlet and day and night, is that a haed with green and a man carved into a tree in the middle? If so I have it started but don’t ever remember you doing it so thinking something different. That Halloween one is so sweet! Have fun at the retreat!❤
Hi Cindy!! Day and Night was a Long Dog Sampler with tiny houses and trees around the border and a village scene in the main part. I love that you are enjoying your full coverage piece! Do what makes you happy!!! LOL
@@Handworkmaniac well by now I just want it done! Lol I will post on IG when about 9k stitches left. Oh I like the sound of that day night, best go look! Like I need anything more let alone a big one.
I love how you plan your challenges and that you´re so enthusiastic about them! Thanks for the idea of a Olympics challenge! I made my own by assigning each sport a theme, so for example riding would be "something with an animal" or surfing would be "something with water". I then looked through my wips to find matching wips to the themes and work on them on the day when there is an event. I tried to find a match for every one of my wips and I think I did it. Now to see if I can really stitch on every one of them during the Olympics... 😄 Greetings from Germany
Hello in Germany! I think your plan sounds fabulous! Sometimes I think I enjoy the planning as much as the stitching :)
@@Handworkmaniac I think I do, too 😄
Oh what fun! I too will be watching the games as much as I can and appreciate you sharing your medal ideas. I will figure some out for my efforts and hope to get a few golds! Love this idea!
Yay! Yes, please join in with your own plans!
@@Handworkmaniac I just got a gold medal for completing The Santa House begun in February. Stitched most of the Opening Ceremony and Saturday! Now trying for Gold on Summer. Have done all but the last two letters E and R. Will get gold if I finish today…Silver for tomorrow, Bronze if finished on Wednesday!
You inspired me to have Gnome Olympics to stitch for the Olympics!!
Yay! So glad you will be joining me on the gnomes :)
Thank you. I love your program. I am planning on adopting some of the pieces but not all of them. It will get me started in the right direction. I have never done a full coverage piece and would love for you to show how you use the parking method while doing full coverage.
Thank You Martha! Definitely do what works for you and makes you happy :) I think I showed how I do a full coverage piece in Video #100. There are so many different ways to do the parking method and lots of videos out there that explain it :)
I love watching your videos! And I finally gave in and rejoined Teresa Kogut's Patreon and will start and catch up on Hometown Mystery SAL. I couldn't help it after seeing yours. Thanks for enabling me. LOL Also I hope you are enjoying retirement. Isn't it great!!!!
Thank You Beth! So happy to enable you, lol!! And yes, retirement is FABULOUS!
A designer told me if you back the project with black, you can't see the traveling.
That is a fabulous idea Beth!!!!!
It was nice
To meet you at StitchCon! 🌞🌞🌞
I'm so glad we got to meet!!!
You said Kingdom of Books is finished. When will you debut? I have watched your progress since your first presentation. You were very close to a finish your last update video. I have admired this piece over the years and have been cheering you on. When it disappeared from your rotation I didn’t panic, I knew it would be back. I enjoy seeing you and your work. I would love to meet you one day. Liz, Florida
Thank You Liz! It is not quite finished yet, but I am finished with the "July" section, lol!! It will be done in December :) So glad you keep cheering me on with it, it has been a long journey :) Yes, I hope we meet one day!! :)
I was curious to check out the other Olympics challenge, but I couldn't find the naptime stitcher. Searching under Olympics cross stitch challenge, your video came up again. The other videos were years old. And ideas?
Your careful charts would send Sheldon Cooper over the moon. lol
So sorry! I believe she is only on Instagram @thenaptimestitcher. She has a post there of the different Olympics prompts. She also has an Etsy store :)
@@Handworkmaniac Oh! Thanks!
💜💜💜
Wow, that’s a lot of stitching! Would love to see your daily tallies😉. And when you’re at retreat, how often do you have take a stitch to count your time. That could be a challenge! Good luck!
LOL, yes, it will be very interesting to try and count stitching time at a retreat. I don't think one stitch every 20 minutes is going to really be acceptable for the challenge, lol!!!
I admire your passion for the Olympics. I am not a huge fan. I don't like being tied down to watching anything. But I am curious.... Your watching will be curtailed by the retreat, yes? In any event, happy stitching!
Hi Ann! Yes, the retreat definitely limited my watching, but I will make up for it now that I am home, lol!
On the rainbow color blocks are you doing one over one with the DMC.
Hi Susan! I am doing 1 over 2 on 46ct linen :) And yes, using the called for DMC.
Hello
Good games for all and welcom to Paris
It s a great idee
Bye
Thank You Moera! Loving it!!
🧚♀️💕
🤩🤩
Thank You!
I’m so hoping that after watching the opening of the Olympics with them being okay with the perverse mocking of Jesus and the Last Supper that all flosstubers who are doing their Olympic cross-stitch plans will boycott the Olympics. We need to tell them that God will not be mocked and we won’t be a part of the mockery. So disgusting of them to do that.
Yes, that was so disappointing that they chose to ruin the opening ceremonies 😒. The 3 way polymorphous display was extremely inappropriate as well. The Olympics are supposed to be a family friendly event! We won’t be watching.
Thank You for your comment Mary. It breaks my heart when people make fun of sacred religious beliefs.
🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Thank You!
All the time you spend on all this boring planning ,I have enjoyed your stitching but can’t believe timing all this work ,I just pick up a project @ work on it @ then move on to the next
Maybe it is boring to you but it isnt to brenda. She enjoys all the planning and that makes it more fun for her.
Hi Rosalie! I love how you stitch :) Sometimes I think I enjoy the planning as much as the stitching, lol!
How do you know what’s in each bag?
Hi Dawn! There is a tag on each bag with the name of the project in it. And after the project is in that bag for a while, I remember which bag has which project :)
Sēo burg þæs mōdes sċeal swīðe oft ġefrēdan hire fēonda speru
Thank You!

Thank You Milka!
