I vote for 1 piece. Good to see you back. You are different from other Flosstubers--fewer projects in process, some older stuff few have seen. No preference on topics.
Hi Morgan! It was so fun to watch you unbox those magazines! Your joy and appreciation for older things is refreshing. I was subscribed to that magazine “back in the day” and have those issues in my collection. Look up the RUclips channel blitstitch. He has finished that piece all as one and it is just beautiful. Couldn’t find the video where he shows his finish but if you watch #77 he shows it as a wip. Happy stitching! Teresa
Hi Morgan, In answer to your question. My very favourite flosstubes are where we are shown consistent progress on Wips. My least favourite flosstbes are where we are shown a surplus of new starts. Some new starts are great of course, we all have them, and must have them or we would run out of things to stitch. But all things in moderation. Thanks for asking this question.
Love the Amid Amish Life pattern. Can’t wait to see your stitching of it. I’m going to look for the 1987 Cross Stitch magazine’s on eBay to buy. I think it would look great in one frame. Would like to see what your working on and your finishes. Lucius is to cute. Happy stitching 🧵🪡
I had those magazines at one time and had thought about stitching that. I opted for The Quilting by Told in a Garden (another Amish design) instead. I didn't know if I would get tired of stitching such a large design. It is a beautiful pattern. Maybe try 16-count Aida so that the finished design isn't so large. This way, it won't be as expensive to frame. I vote for one piece. Amish designs were popular in the late 1980s. You might like to check out Told in a Garden designs. Many of them are Amish designs.
I have a hardback book called “101 Best-Loved Designs from Cross Stitch & Country Crafts”. Amid Amish Life is in this book (which is why I have it). I am planning to do this as a single picture, rather than as a triptych. I had the fabric cut by a cross stitch store in the Southern Highlands south of Sydney a long time ago. I’m just getting back into Cross stitch. Will first need to grid the fabric. I have already made my working copies.
Shameless plug here, but I’m stitching Amid Amish life and the Gathering Honey piece on my channel. I’m stitching mine as one piece. My mom also purchased the DMC kit for me back in the day and I’m finally getting around to using it on my Pandemic piece.

Ah, I LOVE THE Amid Amish Life Pattern!!! It’s gorgeous! I really enjoy WIP progress videos and WIP parades. I love your videos!
I started this same pattern in 1987 and I am on the 2nd panel. I have worked on it several times this month.
I am stitching it as one large piece.
That is awesome! I am sure it will be beautiful. I think I am gathering that most people are suggesting one piece as well.

Thank you so much!! I will definitely check out that channel.

I love this perspective! I also love seeing progress on a project. Thank you for your input! ❤

Thank you for sharing! I had no clue such a book existed. Happy Stitching!

I think it would be much more impressive as a single unit!
Combine it in one frame.
This is what I'm thinking also!
