Holly, this was so fun to watch! As I've been organizing some things, I've found far more things kitted than I realized I had. Now, I realize I'm in good company 🥰 I'm like you - as I dig through things, it's a constant echo of "oh, that's cute!" Happy Friday! 💜
Stitch ALL the Things!!!! LOL I'm working on a Shepherds Bush stocking - Made by Michelle McGraw style. I'm using 14 ct vintage country mocha instead of her murky...I started trying the same stitching over 2 but it was just way too big. So I now have gone to just regular 14 ct stitching....I copied her SB stocking and adding the Prairie Schooler Santa she did first... I'm loving it so far! Thanks for sharing all of your pretties.... oh... and I LOVE the "oh one more thing"... so cute!!!! xoxo
OK, I got through it! Thank you for the channel mention! I have a big, long list of charts to purchase now. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 (Sarah Barker, Martha Pettit, Sarah Allen, D Freitag, HF 1837, Give Thanks, Autumn Garden, Sweet Friendships, and the Sajou “Paris” kit). Thank you so much!! ❤️🥰😘
I am glad that you decided (halfway through your kited projects) to put aside the projects that you should work on now. Maybe when you put everything away that you can make different groups - right this minute, now, different seasons, in the future, maybe should give away. Love seeing all of the project kits.
I love WIP and Kit parades! I have a lot of kitted projects! I count them kitted if they have chart & fabric. Then I pull the threads when I get ready to start them! I have quite a few Mill Hill ornament kits because this year I’m make my grandkid’s ornaments from them! I have 13 grands & 1 great grand! Thanks for sharing! By the way, I love your cabinet!
Thank you for sharing your kits with us, Holly! I would have to check my spreadsheet for a true total of kits that I have ( yep, I’m that much of a nerd 🤓🤣) but I think I’m in the range of your number of 77. 🙃 And it continues to grow…. 💚💚💚
Well hello! I like that we have the same ish number! Mine grows as well, even though I don’t mean for it to grow! And I miss your face, when will you FT next??
Wow! They are all so beautiful. I also have the Pink Sparrow Sampler and want to do it so bad. Love your Flosstube, and can't wait to see the holiday kits.
So good to see you!! I loved this. I really enjoyed how you got excited all over again by this you had gotten a while ago. I think we ALL should do a kitted WIP parade, if only for the record!! Thanks for the inspiration. Hope to see you soon. Hugs
I LOVED this video Holly! I think 77 kits is a lovely number! I do need to go count my kitted projects - I’m guessing I’m at around 50… I also have the Blackbird Humming of the Bees all kitted up…..it’s calling to me loudly, but I really want to focus on fall kits…. Isn’t it fun having so many choices! See you next time! Gisele
Gisele, it’s SO fun to have choices! It does feel a little like pressure though, will my lifetime be long enough to get it all stitched? Oh well, a girl can give it a try! 🥰
There is no such thing as too much of a good thing. What a fun kit parade. Thanks so much for this wonderful video. Happy stitching, my friend. Best, K
Love kit parades! Motivates me to not only count what patterns I have but to go ahead and kit them up so I can pick up to stitch at anytime. I have stitched 2 shepherd’s bush stockings. Love my soft fabric. I use 20ct cork linen ,color Raw. It is very soft . Love it especially since I stitch in hand. Happy stitching! ❤
You are the first person I have heard that is also coming to the DTS retreat! I am going alone since my bestie didn’t get in. 😢 I will see you there! ~Lori
Love seeing all your kits! I love the corner flowers on Anne Thomas too! I haven't ordered from 123 Stitch yet, thought I plan to soon, but the ordering everything in one place was one thing I really liked about that site too! Not having to search through everything on the site to find what you need is wonderful! I hadn't heard of The Drawn Thread before, but they are beautiful! I have been saying I really want to start a couple things I have kitted up too, but I am making myself promise to finish at least one of my wips or I'll get too overwhelmed and won't get anything finished!! Funny fact about me; my parents almost named me Erin Elizabeth but my maiden name starts with a P so they were afraid that kids would take my initials which would be EEP and turn it around to spell pee!
Oh what a fun fact! It’s hard to start new with so many WIPS for me too! I did start and finish two smalls this month so it doesn’t count against my count 😬🥰
Hello! First, your France trip looked amazing! Second, I have no idea! Maybe I should just close my eyes and reach into the drawer to choose new starts? 🥰
So many lovely designs in your stash. May your hours of stitching some of these be relaxing. I am feeling good that these are your choices and not mine. That many would worry me.
Oh my goodness! Have you got a lot to pick from to stitch! I do too but I think you have be beat! Lol!!!! Thanks for all your help with the sock knitting. I feel a venture coming on as soon as I finish my scarf. Happy stitching my dear! Hugs, Rene
With thy needle and threads is Brenda Gervais It is gorgeous . I have stitched Ann Thomas and it was such a lovely stitch. Gosh you have some beautiful samplers kitted.
Use the linen that came with the SB stocking kit. It softens as you work with it. It is only starch. Wash it before you start and that will also soften it, too. The perle cotton will thank you. Enjoy!
Holly! I ❤ love, love, love everything you have kitted. I also love your family comes from TN & KY. I’m from TN as well. So wish we were friends 😊 or at least neighbors. 😂 Till next time.
I love a parade! I am not sure how many kits or WIPS that I currently have. I know that I have a lot of them and counting them all will just give me anxiety. So…who needs that kind of pressure in their life? I just buy what I like and stitch on the project that calls to me. ❤
These look so beautiful!! I’ll have to watch the rest with the sound off. 😂 I can’t take it! I’ve got some ordering to do already and I’m only 9 minutes in. XOXO Heidi
Holly, Such a great stash video. Do stitch the Shepherds Bush stocking on the linen provided. I stitched four of their stockings ( plus about three dozen other SB designs) and the stockings are very nice. You would have to use different threads if you went to a larger count linen. The stockings stitch up very quickly. Enjoy!!
I think I'm a newbie!! I don't have half of your amount of kits!!! 😂 lovely to see them all. I did want to ask, for the bottom drawers that hold the charts you have, do you use comic book boards in the bag to hold them upright so they don't slide and bend out of whack? Hugs and Love, Jennifer
Well, maybe my number of kits is more than one should have so maybe you’re in good shape 🤣. I don’t have comic boards in the drawer, I think it’s just stuffed full! I did just switch out the containers in that drawer so I could divide into a third section though!
I enjoy seeing all your planned projects. I would really like to know where you purchased the project holder that you had the Shepard's bush stocking pattern in. Pittsburgh, PA
I just love watching what everyone has kitted up! Such fun. I have a ton kitted up whats wrong with me I should just start them all😁 because I keep buying more!
I don’t think you have too many kits (I have around 100-or more). I know I went thru 100 project bag tags and some tags have more than 1 project written on them. 🤪I love kits. LOL I think you should start some of those autumn charts. Happy stitching!❤
Oh it’s good to hear I’m not the only one who loves kits 🥰 I started the Satsuma Street rocking horse for my niece but I think I’ll start an autumn project this week!
Oh Holly just start all the things! You have so many beautiful choices. Could you explain more about deltas sites please and where you find the best finds? Happy Stitching!
What a very fun video, thanks so much for sharing! Do you remember if the Scarlett house Autumn Garden was an exclusive from a retreat? I did not come up with anything when I searched for it.
Thank you so much for sharing, Holly. I also have Grace from Artsy Housewife purchased, but I need to pull the floss together. I think I will do it on one piece of linen. Want to start it with me? Take care!
I enjoy watching your videos so much…thank you for sharing your beautiful cross-stitch with us🌸…do you mind telling me which de-stash site you find to use?
I have a ton partially kitted up, many fully kitted up, but until more WIPS are worked on, they are on hold to start. My willpower is fading as the season will be changing soon.
I only have four kits - and only 1 wip. I am a monogamous stitcher because way back in the day - that's how we did it. You picked a project and worked on it until it was done. It was the 80's...what can I say.
@@hobbiesofholly the difficulty is deciding what to stitch on. I tend to use scroll rods, but refuse to buy duplicates. So…once something is loaded, that’s what I stitch on until finished.
I was wondering about the pattern behind you on the wall, what fabric did you cross stitch this one and it is so pretty. I just got the pattern and wondered what fabric you used and how much much you purchased to cross stitch it. 0:040:040:04
Hi Sharon! I need to go back and make sure but I believe I used and Needle and Flax 32 count. I can’t remember what Jacob used? I stitched with 1 strand even though it was on 32ct and love how it looks

Do you go to the Quilter Stations retreats? There is one next weekend. It would be fun to meet you. Are you the same Holly thar Christy from floss bossin cousins talks about?
I’ve been to one QS retreat and loved it! Sorry I won’t be at this next one though. I’m one of the Holly’s they talk about but I call myself “the other Holly” not Holly Hogue 🥰

It’s so fun to unearth treasures in our own stash 🥰. I enjoyed your last video!
First time watching, but not the last! Loved all of your kits! Happy Stitching. 🪡🩷
Thank you for stopping by!! I’m glad you’re here!
Fabulous video, Holly. Thank you for sharing.
Oh, thank you for watching, Sarah!
Wow thats a lot … so many to start! I had to laugh every time you said oh I must start this.
Right?! It seems I love them all! I have started 2 of them so that’s happy!
So much fun! Enjoyed seeing your kits. I vote for Humming of the Bees - love that one and I need to start it too! Take care!
Oh you’re right, I need to get that one started!
This is the first episode of yours that I watched. I enjoyed it very much and I will go back and watch your others Holly. Until next time…

What a great collection of kitted projects.
Thanks for sharing & enabling! 😄

Wow! They are all so beautiful. I also have the Pink Sparrow Sampler and want to do it so bad. Love your Flosstube, and can't wait to see the holiday kits.
Pink Sparrow is such a beautiful piece! She’s high on my list to start
So good to see you!! I loved this. I really enjoyed how you got excited all over again by this you had gotten a while ago. I think we ALL should do a kitted WIP parade, if only for the record!! Thanks for the inspiration. Hope to see you soon. Hugs
Hi Sue!! It was so fun to go through them all again and with fresh eyes! I signed up for HH next Sept, are you going?

There is no such thing as too much of a good thing. What a fun kit parade. Thanks so much for this wonderful video. Happy stitching, my friend. Best, K
Somehow, too may kits doesn’t stress me like too many WIPS does 😉. Thank you for watching, my friend! Can’t wait for your next video!
Love kit parades! Motivates me to not only count what patterns I have but to go ahead and kit them up so I can pick up to stitch at anytime.
I have stitched 2 shepherd’s bush stockings. Love my soft fabric. I use 20ct cork linen ,color Raw. It is very soft . Love it especially since I stitch in hand. Happy stitching! ❤
Oh thanks for that tip! Is 20ct cork similar size to called for fabric?
Lots of fun things!!!
Ah thanks! I need to stitch as fast as you to get them on my walls!
You are the first person I have heard that is also coming to the DTS retreat! I am going alone since my bestie didn’t get in. 😢 I will see you there! ~Lori
Oh that’s sad your bestie didn’t get in! You’ll still have so much fun! Hope to meet you there!
I can't remember which one I thought you should start, but the Pink Sampler stuck out in my mind as well as many, many others!! 😁
See? How’s a girl to decide??!!

I haven't ordered from 123 Stitch yet, thought I plan to soon, but the ordering everything in one place was one thing I really liked about that site too!

Thank you so much! And thank you for the prayer! Graham is doing great but his mama needs an ankle replacement in Oct so prayer is appreciated!
Enjoyed your kit parade! Who doesn't love a parade Haha! Love your sweet attitude. God Bless you!
Oh thank you, Teresa!!
Wow! What a lovely lot of kits - how ever will you choose where to start?! Love it so much :)
Hello! First, your France trip looked amazing! Second, I have no idea! Maybe I should just close my eyes and reach into the drawer to choose new starts? 🥰
You are such a bad influence 🤣🤣🤣 I always love seeing what patterns you have. Happy Stitching!
Oopsie 😇🥰
So many beautiful kits. I love the potential. I have a similar number of kits too. Happy stitching.
Isn’t it fun to have so many choices on the ready??!!
I love that you always have a different quilt behind you.
Oh thank you!!
Yippity skippity... excited to watch!❤❤❤
Thank you! It’s my longest video 🥴
So many lovely designs in your stash. May your hours of stitching some of these be relaxing. I am feeling good that these are your choices and not mine. That many would worry me.
Somehow, the volume of kits don’t stress me but too many WIPS completely stresses me! Thank you for watching!!
Oh I LOVE a kit parade!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thank you for watching my kit parade - it makes me so happy to peak at every so often!
Fun video Holly enjoyed seeing such a nice variety you have. I most of the time stitch on linen I like out of my stash 😘 Happy kitting Holly🤗♥️
Stash linen is the best! I need to use it up! And I’m on the foot of my second self striping sock!
Wow! That was so fun!
Hey, thanks for watching. You know I love you girls!
Oh my goodness! Have you got a lot to pick from to stitch! I do too but I think you have be beat! Lol!!!! Thanks for all your help with the sock knitting. I feel a venture coming on as soon as I finish my scarf. Happy stitching my dear! Hugs, Rene
Rene, I’m excited to hear the knitting is coming along! It’s so fun!
Beautiful kits! Thank you 😊
Glad you like them!
Thank you for sharing all of the wonderful kits.
Glad you like them!
So much fun watching your kit parade!!!! I would have no idea what to stitch…love them all!!!
See? How do I make a choice? 🤣🤣
Start the one your heart desires ❤. I have many of the same ones 😊
That’s a great plan! I started an ornament and I fall small!
With thy needle and threads is Brenda Gervais It is gorgeous . I have stitched Ann Thomas and it was such a lovely stitch. Gosh you have some beautiful samplers kitted.
Oh thank you! I couldn’t find info on the cover but was so glad it was inside!!
Beautiful kits. I have a few of those
Oh fun! I do love having kits ready to grab and go!
Thanks for sharing all your kits! Can you really ever have too many? ❤
Never! Well, maybe 😇
Use the linen that came with the SB stocking kit. It softens as you work with it. It is only starch. Wash it before you start and that will also soften it, too. The perle cotton will thank you. Enjoy!
Good to know, I will do that! Use gentle soap or just soak in water?
Holly! I ❤ love, love, love everything you have kitted. I also love your family comes from TN & KY. I’m from TN as well. So wish we were friends 😊 or at least neighbors. 😂 Till next time.
We are probably related then 🥰 My TN people are from Cleveland!
So glad I found you. Now, I will not fill so guilty about my kitted kits.😱
Well, I’m always here for you 🥰
Amazing kit parade !!
Thank you!!
I love a parade! I am not sure how many kits or WIPS that I currently have. I know that I have a lot of them and counting them all will just give me anxiety. So…who needs that kind of pressure in their life? I just buy what I like and stitch on the project that calls to me. ❤

Well, I understand - I had to watch your last ft in the car and now need to go rewatch with paper and pen! We are kind of a mess 😇🤣
Love that you keep finding more things! Makes me smile!😂 maybe you could do some of the smalls just to get your numbers down? Love you Missy
I immediately started the Satsuma Street rocking horse so one less kit, one more WIP 🥰
@hobbiesofholly I so relate to this dilemma ! So many beautiful projects I'd love to do, just not enough time in the day! Blessings to you and yours!
Just came across your FlossTube. Loved the kit parade, though my credit card is starting to melt
Oh welcome, Sherry! Thanks so much for tuning in and I hope you’re cc is cooling off 🥰
The quilt over your left shoulder is beautiful. Hope you show it in a future episode.
Oh thank you! I need to remember to mention them when they are visible! This is Front Porch pattern by Quilters Candy!
Holly, Such a great stash video. Do stitch the Shepherds Bush stocking on the linen provided. I stitched four of their stockings ( plus about three dozen other SB designs) and the stockings are very nice. You would have to use different threads if you went to a larger count linen. The stockings stitch up very quickly. Enjoy!!

Thank you for watching! I wish I could tell you more about that project holder but I bought the kit from someone and that is how it came!

Thank you! I love that quilt too! It’s mostly Art Gallery Fabric from 3yrs ago. But you can never go wrong with Art Gallery Fabric, always my fav!
It's nice seeing someone from Ohio. I'm from the Athens area. Unfortunately we only have Joanns.
Oh hello, fellow Ohio stitcher! Although I live near enough to an LNS, I tend to shop online the most!
Well, if you start your kits, you would reduce your kit count by increasing your WIP count! Love seeing your kit parade. TFS.
Kit count doesn’t stress me but WIP count does - that’s weird, right? 🥴
You have wonderful kits ready to do. Thank you for video. Would like to know your project bags you got on Amazon name?.
Oh yes, I haven’t added show notes yet but I’ll put a link for those in there right now!! They are great!
My first time watching you!!!You have such cute things!! My brother lives in Cincinnati…where do you live?
Thank you for watching! We live just south of Dayton!
I have a ton partially kitted up, many fully kitted up, but until more WIPS are worked on, they are on hold to start. My willpower is fading as the season will be changing soon.
You and me both! Too many kits doesn’t stress me but too many WIPs is stressy! But then I get an itch to start something new! 🫣😇
Finally catching up
Thank you for catching up and watching!
I only have four kits - and only 1 wip. I am a monogamous stitcher because way back in the day - that's how we did it. You picked a project and worked on it until it was done. It was the 80's...what can I say.
Well yours sounds way more reasonable than mine 😬. I should have stayed monogamous too!
@@hobbiesofholly it's not too late... just finish what you have.. LOL
if you hold your piece at an angle up or down or back a bit you will find the glare goes, no need to adjust the lighting,
Thank you
I think you need to do a little shopping friend 😂
Right? There is more space in the top drawer so might as well fill it!
The kit parade was fun to watch. Did you get your longaberger market basket with car caddy lid decorated?
Oh it’s still waiting for some final decisions! Hold me accountable to get that thing all finished, ok?
I have about 60 kitted…with half of those being HATS charts 🤦♀️

Do you go to the Quilter Stations retreats? There is one next weekend. It would be fun to meet you. Are you the same Holly thar Christy from floss bossin cousins talks about?
I’ve been to one QS retreat and loved it! Sorry I won’t be at this next one though. I’m one of the Holly’s they talk about but I call myself “the other Holly” not Holly Hogue 🥰
