    Thanks for the visit today! Re: the floss versus fabric, it's funny what our hangups will be. I haven't tried stitching with silks yet. Paying for fabrics makes me pause for some odd reason. I'm pretty comfortable dyeing fabric, though. ...
    Scrappy bindings on quilts are super fun, in my opinion. I say that now having not made one in a while. 🤣
    Stitch what makes you happy stitching at the time. :-). Have a great week Nancy!

    My most memorable FROG experience was stitching a Paula Vaughn design that was a crazy quilt pattern and I had to FROG out about half the many color changes. I did finish the piece and my father made me a frame for it. My father has been gone 20 years and I remember him everything I look at it hanging on my wall.

    As another flosstuber says, "Your stitching, your rules." Stitch what makes you happy. I LOVE the Peanuts portfolio - it is the perfect size for me. I don't stitch patterns with yards of fabric and 100s of flosses. And the wide elastic is genius! Yes, those rubber thingies are for knitting needles, to keep you from poking a hole through your knitting bag (or losing a bunch of stitches). My cat Ethel (who has no tail) is a mighty hunter. She loves to present us with moles and voles, and lately has discovered how to catch a frog - I think it is the same one each time! Needless to say she does not like for us to liberate the poor creature, and continues to look for the poor frog for days after it has been returned to the yard. How has it felt since school started? My roughest days were Sundays, and that lasted for months!

I agree it needs to be a little bit longer and since I use a nerds hope to that would be great. I think I would like those better than the project bags. I have purchased a bag from you before and they are top-notch. I look forward to seeing your portfolios in your Etsy shop.

    Love the Peanut's portfolio. I like the the outside yab to add a tag as well as the tab inside for the scissors. As a stitcher who uses floss drops on a ring, a similar tab in the middle would be great to' hook' a ring for floss drops above the pocket. What a coincidence, my middle name is frog as well! My first SAL I'm doing now, I have spent almost as much time frogging as stitching 😮

I don't have a fabric stash so I don't know if it is better to keep it in the packaging or not. I'm glad your shop is doing so well :)

    A quilt is useable and a lot bigger than a cross stitch piece. So for the size does not seem as much bang for the money. I say buy a few at a time. Will not hurt as much. Love the peanut fabric. I like frogs unless I have to frog. My biggest problem seems to be the mess of knots I can make while trying to stitch.

    I like both cards. I take a 2x3 picture with my HP Sprocket and put in badge I’d and hang from zipper of bag. Makes it easy to identify the project. I could put your small card on back side in sleeve. The larger project card would be a way to track all my projects long term and put dates on that I stitched. I would like a portfolio that can fit full size pattern book. I like have 2 big slot pockets and then on one 1/2 half have small zipper pouch and other half floss bed. I use Q-Snaps so I would like to be able to put that in folio.

    When I was a kid we collected tadpoles. It was interesting watch them grow legs, at that point I’m guessing we brought them back to where we got them. Was afraid, or perhaps parents were afraid the y would jump out of jar we kept them in. Congrats on 3K, so well deserved.

My frog story is me trying to catch a frog late at night that somehow got inside ( had lots of family members in and out all evening). I almost stepped on him when I was locking everything and was ready for bed, but it took me more than 30 minutes to get the frog out because I couldn't touch him. Thank you for another great video.

    Appreciate your love of Peanuts ❤. We had a cat called Pigpen after my brother's favourite character and the sister called Lucy after my favourite.
    Wouldn't mind an upside down project bag as I live at the bottom of the planet 😂. Will it turn right side up? When i was a heck of a lot younger my Dad made me a frog haven from an old water tank with an island in the center ,lots of logs etc. I loved frogs (not so much any more🤬) and had quite a collection of different varieties until we had flood rain ......tank overflowed and,all bar 2 (obviously the smart ones who knew where the easy life was) , hopped away. Dad worked as a phone company linesman so we always had rescued animals , birds and lizards at home including the ubiquitous kangaroo, an echidna that never left and a Mopoke owl that also hung around.

    I like both of those cards to be honest with you. I keep my fabric in the plastic bag when it comes in one. I just buy mine from 123 Stitch. Love your finish. I am working on my very first sampler and it is called Berlin Swallows Sampler and I am loving it so I can see why you love samplers. The features in a portfolio that I like is to have pockets to fit my bobbins in. I only saw one person have one and she made it but she doesn't sell them. I think she had 12 pockets made with the vinyl. Happy Stitching.

For me it is the Cost factor. Fabric direction gets me too. The worst frog recently has been to rip out something that didn't need frogging. I've been stitching for decades, when will my frogging end?!?

    I finally found you on Etsy! I looked at so many bags trying to find you. LOL Is there a trick to finding a shop on Etsy? I finally typed your handle in Safari and it took me to your Etsy shop. Well, we are supposed to take fabric out of plastic. And I have to say, the fabric I had stored in plastic from way back in the ‘80’s does have a funky smell. I do try to leave the top of the bag open so it can breathe now. I have never been fond of frogs since my brother threw one down my jean shorts when I was 8, 9, or 10 years old. I could not get it out. We were in company so I couldn’t just drop the shorts. I raised quite a ruckus. However, I do like to eat frog legs. My dad used to hunt for big bullfrogs and my mom would fry them up similar to chicken. She soaked them in something so they didn’t really have a fishy flavor. And I like both your large and small project cards. I think the small ones would go really good in one of those name tag plastic holders and I like the back of your large project card because I think you had like the times you worked on the project on the back and I think that’s pretty cool. Happy stitching!
