So good to see you again. Your wips look amazing as always. You always get quite a bit of stitching done. Your pieces look amazing and are are really coming to life ❤️. I hope you have an amazing month of stitching, stay safe and happy stitching ❤️
CJ you are such a lovely person. You always leave such great comments, thank you so much . I wish you a super stitching month my friend, take care 🤗🪡🪡🧵🧵
You've outdone yourself with Cheese Delivery and over 5,000 stitches! That's amazing! I hope you have a great (and safe) trip to the U.S. and I hope you feel better before you go. Love Mad Morti & David too! They always make me laugh! I will have to check out the shout outs you mentioned that I'm not currently watching. Take care!
Hi Sue, I’m sure I will be fine for USA trip. I was so so pleased with my progress on cheese delivery. I will give a little love to Magik Forest this month. Take care and happy stitching 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Great progress Elaine. I was going to ask about where you got your stickers from so I'm glad you mentioned it. I'm looking forward to the stitch day. I hope you're feeling well soon and have a great trip away.
Wow, Elaine, you’ve got lots of gorgeous stitching done. Well done on the 5000 on Cheese Delivery. I’m looking forward to starting Stitch All the Things and also our New Year’s Day start. I might have to start thinking about fabric soon as I’ll probably change my mind loads of times before January! Hope you feel better soon. Take care. Happy stitching 😊
Hi Sally, thanks for watching ❤️ I’m super looking forward to starting stitch all the things, it’s kitted and ready to sew 👍 I’ve got the tape measure for finishing too, just not sure how I will back it yet! Let me get ahead of myself 😮 got to stitch it first. NYD might be only one of 2 starts in 2023. I too haven’t decided on a fabric yet. Like you I have a significant birthday next year and want to do a new start for that, it’s not until November so loads of time to decide. Take care and happy stitching 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Hi Elaine! Amazing progress on cheese delivery! I am willing you in for your finish in 23! Thank you for showing the book of days and stickers I really want to get one for me and mama for Christmas and I’ll keep an eye on patchwork rabbit! Hope your feeling better soon, it’s going around isn’t it! Xx
Hi Lauren, I really recommend book of days, I’m rubbish at keeping up with journals but I’ve really enjoyed this one. Yes the bugs do seem to be doing the rounds!! Take care xx
Woo! Thank you for such an amazing shout out 🥰 love the pieces you’re working on - and David has fallen in love with the Chris Dunn pieces and eyeing another one of his pictures 🤣 oh dear…. Those needleminders you got are fab and I can see them joining my collection - funnily enough, I also got one of Agnes’ latest bats… 😁 just waiting for it to turn up now I replied to your comment on our last video, but will say it here too - hopefully I will see you at an Essex retreat in the future cos Mum and my sister are in Braintree ( we used to live in Leyton) and I’ll be visiting them at some point…
Hi Morti and David, firstly David get down the Chris Dunn rabbit hole, you will never look back!!! Just remember, it might seem like a lot of stitches but it’s just one X at a time!! I love you guys, I’ve watched you since your first video and I couldn’t understand why you haven’t hit the 1k, so if I can help, I will!! I hope you guys can join us one of these days at an ENR. Morti is in the group now so you can see what dates come up. Take care guys and happy stitching 🪡🪡🧵🧵❤️
Hi Elaine! So sorry you are under the weather. Hope you feel better soon. Glad you had a good time at your stitchy meet up. You are steadily getting progress on The Feast. I enjoy looking at your Book of Days. I actually decided that I am going to keep a stitching journal next year thanks to you and some other floss tubers. I am not sure that I will use stickers unless I find some free ones or really inexpensive ones somewhere as my stitching budget is such that I mostly am stitching from stash and not able to buy much still. I did buy a snap tray and it has really come in handy and was quite inexpensive but is a great way to keep my scissors, current loose thread I am working with, threader if needed, and markers. Love the background colors in Raspberry Dragon. I enjoy watching the progress on both your and Darren's dragons. I was finally able to join on of his Zooms last night. It was so fun. Will probably be the last one unless I can join on of the UK ones. WOW! What amazing progress on Cheese Delivery. The moment you held it up I literally said Wow, what amazing progress and so beautiful. I love the wording font on this piece and all the detail! What size will it be when finished? Those words on Morris Dancer are so tiny. I haven't done over 1 stitching much but cannot imagine doing it on such a small count fabric. Seems like it would be very time consuming and definitely would not want to make a mistake on it. I tried 1/1 on 32 count and promptly decided it was too small. I couldn't even see the stitches to frog them out of the piece of fabric. Love the flower border on Louisa Barny. Such great progress on the flowers and well worth the effort. The border is going to be fabulous all by itself. I agree with you that it is just as pretty as it would be with the silks in my mind. Your progress on Maria is fabulous!!! Stitching 1/1 on 40 count sounds insane. I love the border on that piece as well. Greta is very pretty. Cute needle minders! The 2 special needle minders are works of art. I got great news at the doctor's office so I don't have to do therapy and can just do the back exercises I already have, can gradually start lifting more, and can go back to having my grandson overnight in a couple of weeks! I have about 50% loss of disk height, so here I am shorter again. This is my second disk that has 50% or more loss of height. The first one happened 38 years ago this winter while I was trying to go to work after an ice storm and I did a banana peel slip and landed on my back. That one was T11 and now L1. Better not fracture T12 as I may not get so lucky with not having surgery. I hope you have a blast on your trip to Salem and the rest of the US. Sorry for the book again. You have too many beautiful projects for me to keep my comments short. I sure hope I can catch you in a Zoom sometime as I think it would be phenomenal to chat with you. Happy stitching!
Hi Dawn, I always love your chatty comment ❤️ glad to hear you are starting to get on the mend. Funnily enough I nearly went on Darren’s last zoom as I was up late but it was just a bit too late!! I figured by the time I got on there I would be falling asleep. I would absolutely love to have a chat with you on one of Darren’s zooms if you are ever up in the early hours for you!! Take care my friend ❤️🧵🧵🪡🪡
You are the boss of your own cross stitch! Do what makes you happy 😊. Love your book recommendations, although I don’t read crime myself my husband does and I have now got a list of books he’d probably enjoy from you! Have you read Jodi Picoult ‘Wish You Were Here’. - I loved it
Hope you'll be feeling better soon and definitely before your trip to USA. I'm envious. You have done a fantastic amount of stitching this month Elaine, 5,000+ on Cheese Delivery, I take my hat off to you as you know I gave up twice on it 🤨. Don't think it would matter much regarding the tent stitch issue. Perhaps you could turn it upside down? Have a wonderful time away. Stay safe🤗x
Really enjoyed your video Elli 😊 cheese delivery is storming along now I think I am going to get mine framed properly when it’s finished I’m rubbish at finishing myself 😂I love seeing all your Wips so thank you xx
@@elliewelliestitcher I’m at 89.51% 😳 getting there and still enjoying stitching it .I’m not sure which full coverage to work on next I have forest Santa ,Not a creature was stirring (Chris’s Dunn ) and the toy shop from Steve crisp to choose from 🥰 thinking maybe start a couple 😂xx
I always do half cross stitch in the same direction as my bottom leg, and no one has ever said it looks wrong, and truly, when you look at a cross stitch, the direction of the top stitch is never really evident. I do the same as my bottom leg as I know that’s what comes naturally to me and I would make mistakes if I tried to do it the other way. I’ve also stitched designs where the direction of the half cross stitch is prescribed and goes in both directions, regardless of your normal stitch direction.
Thanks Gina, it’s what I was thinking too. I think I would likely make mistakes if I don’t stick to what I feel comfortable with. Happy stitching and take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵❤️
WOW...Happy Dance for 5,000 stitches on Cheese Delivery and Congratulations Elaine 👏 💃💃💃 looks Absolutely Stunning and you should be very proud of yourself!! All of your progress on your wips are awesome...I love the dainty look of your work on 40ct..all of the samplers are Beautiful 😍 so sorry you've been sick 😷 and glad your feeling better. Prayers your completely well and have your strength back for your trip to the United States cant wait to hear all about it and see what you buy 😀 😊...hope you have a great month stitchy wise and stay safe 🥰 Heading now to check out Stitchy Rach and the other flosstubers I have not seen...thanks for the heads-up about them. I too love to read and especially a good mystery...going to have to go to my library and see if I can find these authors your 📚 reading ....not familiar with them. Love a good book 📖
Hi Jodee, I hope you are well my friend. You are making fantastic progress on your cardinals, amazing !!! Do share with me some books you have read that you think I might like, I love recommendations!! I hope things are a bit cooler for you now in Texas? I hope you were not affected by that hurricane. Take care and happy stitching 🪡🪡🧵🧵❤️
I do half stitches in the same direction as my top leg when in a mixed full cross + half cross project [like dimensions], as then I know it's a completed stitch (ie I don't then go back and accidentally finish the cross). I think it looks nicer when seen close up, but if it's on the wall across the room I don't think you could tell a difference 👍 (If it's on a project with only half/tent stitches then I don't really think about it lol)
I agree with you if it’s a dimensions kit. I’ve made that mistake with one in the past!! I think in this case the stitches are small enough no one would notice. Take care and see you again soon 😊🪡🪡🧵🧵
my tent stitches are always same as 1st leg, even if there are other full crosses in the design, and it looks totally fine! I never do half stitches same as top leg. Do it the way you are used to, otherwise if you do it the other way, you will revert and not realize it, and then have inconsistent stitches and have to frog.
Hope you feel better very soon. That chest infection seems to be making its way around UK at the moment. I have a cousin and uncle who don't live together and don't have contact with each other, both who came down with chest infection at about the same time. So rest, drink fluids and stitch till you get rid of it. Steph
I'd say stitch it however you'd enjoy. It's your hobby and it should make you happy.
Enjoyed your update. Thank you for sharing and Happy Stitching!
Feel better soon!! have a fantastic fantastic trip. thank you so much for the mention. i really appreciate it. Love seeing all your WIPS as always 💕❤💜💙

Thank you 😊
So sorry you’ve been ill. 5,000! Wowzer! I’m loving Louisa’s border, and it’s nice to see your progress. Enjoy your trip! 🤗
Thanks Kim. It’s probably the nicest border I’ve done!! Hope you are well my friend and your husband is on the mend. Take care 🤗
Great video Elaine, love all your progress. Enjoy your trip to the states 🎉
