Sally I'm so happy to say that I finally got to claw my way up to my sewing room to stitch and catch up with you! I'm so so thrilled that you're happy with the exchange gift I made for you! The best part of all of this is I feel I have a dear new friend across the pond! The beautiful stitching you made me and the gorgeous fabric and goodies are icing on the cake. Just absolutely love your videos and look forward to seeing your stitching in years to come. Much love from sunny and soon to be too hot California!🐔🐔🐔🌻🌻🌻
So pleased you've watched and enjoyed my lovely new friend! I look forward to seeing what you'll make with the fabric - I am thinking maybe a project bag with the fat quarters I have.....we'll see! I hope the garden is blooming and the bee's are busy buzzing in the sunshine. Big hugs from a getting slightly less wet Wales! 🏴🧵🪡
Thank you so much! I'm glad I'm not the only one although a few crazy chicken ladies seem to be creeping out of the closet now 🤣🤣🤣🐔🐔 Happy Stitching! 🪡🧵
Thank you! I don't seem to have stitched on the chicken projects much the last couple of weeks.....might have to get those back into my rotation for next week! Happy Stitching!!
Thank you Sarah! 50 new starts was a big ask but I think Sarah and I are having so much fun doing it and trying to cover all of the prompts that you all gave us. Thanks for joining me and happy stitching across the pond to you 🥰
Honoured muchly that I got 2 viewings! I hope you had a wonderful weekend at Stitch North and I look forward to hearing all about it soon! Happy Stitching! Xxx
Sally, finally got to sit down & watch you tonight after our trip across the Irish Sea. I haven't stitched in almost a week & I'm really missing it. Yourself & Sarah are making great progress on the #funfor50sal2024. It's great fun to watch. I have some plans to join in over the next few weeks. I really miss our chickens. We had them when Jon's daughter was in secondary school. She used to tell her favourite, Miss Yellow, everything that happened during her day. Miss Yellow would jump up onto her shoulder & they would go off for a chat. We also got into breeding for awhile which was an adventure in itself. If we could, we'd happily have chickens again. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
Lovely to hear about Miss Yellow! It is lovely having chickens but when you are travelling so much and here they become harder to manage! Hope you are managing to get some stitching done after all your travelling. Happy Stitching! Xxx
Lovely floss tube Sally, my friend is going to watch her first Flosstube so I'm going to send her your link, I think your enthusiasm for cross stitch will enthuse her too! Thanks for the mention today. I've not started Four Seasons yet, I'm off for a stitchy week away in Suffolk next Sunday with a girlfriend so I'm taking The Mad Hatter Dreams with me as Four Seasons is a bit big to take. Just wanted to say I use those tiny needles too they are great especially on 36 & 40 count. Wow your stitchy kindness from Kathryn was amazing what fantastic gifts to receive 🙂
Thanks Lynn! I really hope your friend enjoys watching! I look forward to seeing your progress on Four Seasons when you get chance to start so please post some pics on Instagram. Yes the little needles are so nice to stitch with! Happy Stitching! Xxx
I'm so happy to have finished it. Never again will I stitch something so big on such dark fabric 🤣 I did enjoy it when I got into thr swing of it though and it is so effective. Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❤️
Beautiful stitching Sally you really are getting lots done. I'm late leaving a comment. I will join in stitching Yasmin chart and Barbara Anna I have them both. Happy Stitching my friend ❣️
Enjoyed your video today Sally - thank you! I love your Moonshine Cabin finish - so beautiful! Sorry about the problems with your Barbara Ana piece. I hope you don’t have to frog! These days I always try to fudge before frogging (life’s too short for frogging unless it’s absolutely necessary!). I hope you’ll enjoy stitching on Summer Quaker as much as I am - it’s a gorgeous design!
Thank you for watching and commenting! It keeps me going to know you are all enjoying listen to me waffle on 😆. I think I have just about sorted Garden of Dreams without too much frogging and a bit of a fudge so looking forward to picking it up again this week. I am really loving Spring Quaker though - its a wonderful stitch! Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❤️
I wish I could send some of our sunshine to you 💛 I have posted more gardening than stitching on Instagram lately. I'd love a rain day so I could take a day off! We're in Zone 8a. Delightful video as always. The package from Katherine is divine!
Oh I have been enjoying your gardening posts! It must be far easier to grow in such a warm climate. We had a sunny day yesterday and it gave me some optimism that better weather is coming our way. I hope so! Need to get out to the greenhouse and sow some beans today! Happy Stitching and gardening xxx
Oh, hooray for stitching something from the Friendship’s Way book. Totally you should change up the colours to make it all bright and happy - and think of me!!
You have some big starts coming up this month. While th❤e smalls are great to pepper through our year, I think it’s good to have a few bigger things to really remember as part of this year’s journey. Have fun with them!
Lovely video thank you Sally. I would love to join you with the Barbara Ana in June! I have just started a new SAL which I know will keep me really busy so I will see nearer the time 💕
You're very welcome - its great to have another UK flosstuber join the gang! I hope you joy us stitching Light - do tag Sarah and I on Insta so we know you are. Happy Stitching! Xxx
Lovely to see you at Stitch Across the Pond! I didn't speak this time as had been to a stitchy day and was quite weary from chattering! Happy Stitching x
Hi Sally, I’m new to your channel and I really enjoyed watching you! I’m stitching Light by Barbara Anna, it’s been on my WIP list for far too long and you’ve motivated me to stitch along with you guys and get it finished. Your chicken projects are gorgeous xx
Thank you for coming over and watching and I am glad you enjoyed it! I do hope you'll get Light out and stitch it with Sarah and I! I am sure it won't be a finish for a while for me with all the starts but I'll try!! Happy Stitching and see you again soon! Xxx
Behind on my Flosstube again. Great to catch up today. So glad you're going to be stitching "Light" it might urge me to pull out that long neglected WIP (I think it's going to be four years old in May😬) at least I know I'm not responsible for the enabling - I don't think anyone would feel enabled by my sad little start. Hope you enjoyed your stitchy day which probably feels ages ago now x
Better late than never! Same with my reply lol. I hope you finish Light with us!!! Someone else has said it has been sitting in a Wip pile and they are going to pull it out to finish! Happy Stitching my friend 🧡
starting my birthday vacation with a video from you, is the best start 😍😍 can’t wait for tomorrow and work on „spring quaker“ 🥳 i wish i had a stitchy group i could go too - i envy you 😬😬 enjoy it and i‘m curious if you will start it tomorrow 😊 this looks like a great exchange 😍 i signed up for the next one and now i am a little intimidated 😂 it will be my first exchange 😅 i love your finishes and all your progress - great job my friend ❤️ i wish you a wonderful weekend and talk to you soon 😍
You'll have seen now I did start Spring Quaker although I didn't take it with me to the stitching afternoon but did stitch on it at Stitch Across The Pond. I am really enjoying it so far. I hope you have had a wonderful birthday weekend and the rest of the week is just as good! Happy Stitching! Xx
So nice to catch up with you. Nice progress on everything. I will be starting Spring Quaker tomorrow after I figure out my fabric for sure. The piece I want to use is a 32 count jobelan. But for a 2 inch margin I need it to be 18 inches tall and my piece is 17.5. It's fine for the width. So have to decide if I'm going to use it and deal with the smaller margin or switch to something else. Have a fun weekend
Thank you! You have made a wonderful start on Spring Quaker now! Wonderful to see how much you are enjoying it on Instagram. I haven't done quite as much as had a busy week but it is such a lovely stitch. Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❤️
Hahahahaha! So much stitching you can't remember what you have an haven't done? Love it! Great to see you yesterday. Itch to Stitch will be soon I think......😆
Lovely floss tube Sally. Love your finishes and really enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful stitching. Have you decided what to do with Garden of Dreams or is it still in the naughty corner?! I can’t believe you’ve only got a few more starts before you’re halfway through your 50. Both you and Sarah are doing brilliantly! Happy stitching 😊
Thank you Sally! Late to comment so apologies. Garden of Dreams sorted now so looking forward to showing you my progress when I film again in next day or two! Happy Stitching my dear friend x
Love your moonshine cabin ❤ looks fantastic 😊 great video as always. Just watched you which is unfortunate because i went to the retreat at Wychwood Park at the weekend and might have been able to visit the shop 🤔 i brought With thy hands but i really don't think i can start it yet 😂xx
So pleased to have finished Moonshine Cabin finally!! I hope you had a wonderful retreat weekend. I knew a few people who were going too! I am sure you can visit the shop another time! Happy Stitching! Xxx
