A reminder to everyone. I was just going to say wash your hands and you said it!
No matter the topic, I just love watching your videos & hearing your voice. You have such a pure heart & spirit and I’m grateful that you share your life with us😇💛🙏
I’m a cross stitcher so I understand the love. I have been watching your videos for years and I feel like a Disney one is needed. I’m a 51 year old Aussie who loves Disney magic and I need to see some 100 year magic 🌻❤️🌻
Brings back memories. I used to do a lot of needlework as an adolescent.
I started embroidery in 2020 after abandoning it as a teen. I am so glad i did because RUclips tutorials make it so easy! I love that you make seasonal and practical items. I am trying to cut down on consuming seasonal decore by making it so I am into the vintage monthly towels-even your cheerful psychedelic leprechaun! I love him so much.
So fun ! My grandmother did every kind of needlework and I have it all !! My most cherished possessions. If I see anything hand-stiched at a thrift store it breaks my heart to think no one wanted something that someone put so much love into. I usually have to buy it.❤
Oh my goodness you were very good teacher
Oh wow, I have 7 days of the week tea towels my dear Mum made for her glory box when she was 16 years old, I’m now 66 and my daughters 30 years old and I thought why don’t I do the same keep sake for her 💡😂
Thank you so much for such a great lesson and all the great tips too xxx
Thank-you so much for this video. I've been thinking alot about a relaxing hobbie, and this is it. 💖
I want to win this towel. It is so pretty. I am inspired to retake embroidering. Last time I embroidered I was 14. I am 38 now. It is very peaceful and soothing hobby.
I love love love this video!!! Thank you so much for inspiring me and introducing me to the world of embroidery. My grandmother and aunts on my dads side (who are all passed away now) used to do this as their hobby. I want to make it one for me now & keep their memory going. ❤❤❤
This is a hobby practiced by my ancestors for years. In my hometown in Mexico, women for centuries would embroidered beautiful towels to put the fresh tortillas or wear in fashion. It's an absolutely beautiful craftit. I love it so much! Thank you for sharing. As always, best regards 🥀 Miss. Lilly 🥀
Thank you very much for teaching us how you do embroidery. The way you explain it seems very easy. I've been waiting for this tutorial for a long time. 😘😘😘
I love this towel so much, I love pink and green together. So cute!!!!
I use to do a lot of cross stitch. Haven’t done any in awhile. However, the more you do it, the more even your stitches become.
I loved it. This I am sure was not only therapeutic for you to do but therapeutic for me to watch. I enjoyed watching and inspires me to do some. I am not good at all to sew, the entire process stresses me out but this I think is more me. Thank you! I love it it is so pretty. ,😍👏🏻
Thank you for this video!! I have been wanting to try this for years and you have me the courage by making it look so easy. I finally started a little embroidery project and it has been so fun!
I love all of your videos! You are such a bright light!
Well there's our lovely Charlotte. Thank for sharing this. I've always wanted to le as rn💛🌷💗💗😊
Thank you for this video! You did a really good job explaining all the steps & I'm definitely going to try this!
I tried it out a couple years ago and really enjoyed it then got into crochet instead. Need to pick it back up
❤ I can't love this enough! I have always wanted to try embroidery; but way too intimidating. You made it look so fun and I'm going to buy my 1st kit this weekend! Thank you for sharing this. Sending great vibes to you and yours!!
Charlotte, this was so nice to watch like doing a craft with a friend! I took up embroidery last year after watching you do it and it is so relaxing. I was in an intense stage of grief last year after losing my mom and I feel like doing my embroidery was just one thing that helped comfort me in the evenings. Hope you and Nate and the dogs are all doing well!
Yay your back miss your videos ❤❤
Thank you so very much for helping others not be intimidated by this project
If you can do more of different stitches it would be greatly appreciated 🥰
Love this!! I have been doing a lot of cross stitch but I think I’ll enjoy embroidery more! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video!! You made it look so easy and I’m going to try it. I’ve done cross stitch a long time and tried recently and way too hard to do all the counting. Love your videos!!
Hey Charlotte! I just watched your amazing tutorial and I’m blown away! Your step-by-step instructions are so helpful, and I’m feeling incredibly inspired. In fact, I just placed an order for embroidery supplies on Amazon because I can’t wait to get started. I wanted to ask you, where do you keep all your supplies to keep everything organized? Thank you so much for creating this valuable video-I’ll definitely be back to watch it again when my order arrives for my first project! 🩷
Loved this video! Super easy to follow and I’m definitely motivated to try myself!
That was so cool to watch!!
I love it !! I ordered all the supplies can’t wait to get to work ❤
Yay you did it. A tutorial🎊🎊🎊
I have never really thought about doing this but it looks fairly easy and beautiful. My grandmother does this but I've never seen the process. I might try one someday 😊❤ this video was so relaxing to watch also lol
🥰The best tutorial you can watch for learning embroidery and all the behind the scenes problems and solutions when doing it 🧵 🪡 the key lime towel is so perfect for summer 🌴🧡🩷💚
