I can't decide what is more satisfying about watching your videos: is it the amazing progress (and projects) that you have, or is it your meticulous planning? I love it all! Thank you!
You and your lovely stitching make Mondays exciting! ❤
Love seeing all your progress. Happy stitching ❤❤
Hello, Sarah! I love your stitching and enthusiasm for needlework!
I enjoyed seeing all of your plans for February. I love your full coverage pieces. I'm excited for you to work on them. I like seeing your progress. Enjoy your week.
Yay! Great progress and love to hear your plans! I'm going to work on full coverage February as well, just need to make a plan. It'll be focus pieces, but not all of my stitching time will be on full coverage. Any is way better than none. Love your videos Sarah. Thanks for keeping me company while I stitch!
Great video, Sarah! always enjoy seeing your stitching :)
Praying the Lord will keep you and your family safe during the storms in California
Thank you! So far, we are doing well. The sun came out today for a nice break, and Smokey immediately took advance of a nap in the sun spot. It might rain again later, but it's pretty for now.
Haha, even during full coverage February, you managed to get a fancy lady in there 😉
Happy stitching 🪡🧵🥰
Yeah, I wasn't planning to participate at all this year, because I just want to focus on my plans, but when Colette explained that she was doing an 8-day acrostic, I figured I could at least play along that much. :) It helps that she has a lot of traveling in February, so SHE can only play along for a limited time as well.
I am always amazed but also inspired by how you make stitching work for you 🥰
I have been trying to stitch from stash and not start so many new things, but obviously I need a leap year start 👀 thank you for the inspiration
Maybe you have something in your stash that you could start for leap year? It would still be a start, but at least would be something you already have. :)
Hi Sarah, lovely to catch up with you. Your Kitty and me heart is looking amazing, you've progressed so quickly with it.
Feeling inspired to stitch after watching both you and Collette (the highway stitcher) the last couple of weeks. Loved the stitch with me video you did. My Brrringo fell off the rails. But you bring me back to plans. Thanks
Happy stitching Sarah, lovely work ❤
Love watching the progress you make on each project. Dena halfstitch Cross stitcher also stitches to prompts, and i enjoy hearing how she makes the connection to her stitching project. Thanks for sharing, and happy stitching.
Great progress and I applaud how organized you are with your plans. Look forward to seeing full coverage February by those participating. Happy Stitching.
Hi Sarah. You look so happy! A secret finish, a new start and lots of full coverage! Yay! Thank you for filming. ⚘️
Hi Sarah, I’m about to start the Union Jack flag on February 11th when I go on a cruise etc. I’m thinking about doing it 1:1 on 32ct. As I no longer like my stitches doing 2:2. The quakers are in relief and not stitched but I’m thinking about stitching them in which would then make it f/c. Looking forward to seeing your progress on the USA flag. 😊 Thanks for posting a video each week. Tricia
I would recommend doing a test stitch of the 1 over 1 on 32 count - I personally find it pretty squishy with a full cross and too sparse with a half cross (unless you're using silks or CXC or something fluffier than DMC). I stitched my Temperature Garden 1 over 1 full cross on 32 count and it worked okay, but there was a lot of white space to allow the stitches to "breathe". This flag will be a bit heavier on the stitching, which is why I am leery. Also, if your fabric is hand-dyed, I would think it would be much too tight, but a plain or printed fabric might be okay if you're willing to have tight coverage. My go-to for 1 over 1 full cross is either 25 or 28 count, but I know we all like different things! Have fun stitching it!
@@StitchinMommy I have done a test stitch and I’m leaning towards 1:2 full cross. It is OK but not as saturated in colour as 2:2 would be which would then be tight if I did f/c. I will start it and see how it goes. I am using 32ct white Lugana.
If you do want to finish the flag in 4 years, you could slot that in for your “talking to your sister stitching” when the frosted pumpkin stitchery is done. It doesn’t look like the counting is to bad, and fewer colors makes it easier to work on while talking😊 and when it get closer to the 4 years, maybe make it a focus project and then you could probably get it done in 4 years without to much stress😊 just a thought 😊
This is a wonderful suggestion! The only trouble would be if TFPS comes out with another SAL that I can't live without. :D But, I think I might be done with those for awhile...
@@StitchinMommyHi, Sarah! I will be turning 79 in the Spring. So....today I took a PARTIAL inventory of my WIPS.! Oh, my. Trying to think which ones are at the top of the list for finishing??? I think the wip pile is growing....how did that happen?!?!
Happy stitching to you too!
The USA flag looks so different from mine - Finland. The lines are even in my flag - going through the quakerblock. They will be so nice to see once stitched! And as always, I do admire your organization and planning! I'm a bit better than last time, since I am taking part in wipgo, I have 4 wips in 25/7 and my haedsal. your organizational knowhow is getting a bit spread with me learning 🙃
True! It seems that the non-USA flags are all stitched with the "background" of the Quaker pattern, leaving the design elements unstitched, while the USA one has some parts with only the Quaker elements stitched and not the background, and some parts with BOTH the elements and background! :D
Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Visit Endor always looks so good and I'm not even a Star Wars person! I think I just like the vintage travel poster aspect. I need to do something like that with like Lord of the Ring or Narnia or Harry Potter. Hmmmm
Yes, you should! They are relatively simple stitches - probably closer to your Mrs. Pagody Arts pieces than a HAED, for example. Mine only has 11 colors! :D Country Magic Stitch is no longer on Etsy, but she has her own website now: countrymagicstitch.com/
@@StitchinMommy Thanks! I’ll definitely check them out!
Thank you for sharing.
☺️💕 Looking forward to a fun and colorful start next year (or whatever year in the future it gets started!) 😂 The cookies look so yummy, it will be fun watching the details come alive. Happy stitching!
Hi, I love your stitching! Especially your full coverage pieces.. I bought a Nora Corbett letter E and was wondering if you could help me do a color change on it. Violet doesn't go with my color pallet for my house. Plus I'd rather use DMC. Red, golds, browns, Sage green and soft yellows are more my thing. Please let me know if you got the time, I know you are a busy mom. Thanks.
Do you like either of the color conversions I did with the Letter E? You can find them listed out here: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yMAdJe6-Uy0iE6k3GkPeV7U-toGoAPei?usp=sharing. Or is one of them close?
Loved your progress.
How fun to do full coverage February! You will be busy!
Hi Sarah I'm back. It has be awhile because of life and I I kind of lost my stitchy bug so I am back in the groove and look forward starting some new starts and try to finish some of my old projects and give them some love. Love watching your new starts this year and your accomplishments in your cross stitching. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless
Pat
I'm glad you're back and excited about stitching again!
Hi Sarah, thanks for the constant inspiration, I so enjoy watching your videos. I've always been stitching in hand but you've helped me be better with handling larger projects that way. A question for you, what are you using for storage tubes please ? I used to fold the fabric when putting projects away, but I really like the idea of having them rolled up instead. Thank you !
I like keeping them rolled up because then they're ready to go whenever I'm ready to start stitching. I just unroll them to the point where I'm working, and I'm good! Most of my tubes are either recycled tubes that fabric comes in from craft stores, or wrapping paper tubes with a post-it note taped to the bottom. Nothing fancy! :D
@@StitchinMommy awesome Sarah, thanks very much!
Hey Sarah
I’ve looked up some some patterns of Pamela Kelloggs patterns are very cute
But the cost of the pattern is so expensive so I’ve decided not to invest.
I think if she did kits I’d be interested.
The price can be daunting, especially for a large set of something like these Cats & Hearts ones. I had been eyeing them for awhile because of that. Then, Etsy had some site-wide coupon codes they released a couple times last year and I used that code twice in two separate transactions to get extra $ off my patterns. :)
Love the Halloween girl. I’m about to start beading my first Nora. Eek.
It is so true: Final cross stitch looks so much better than the picture. The Quaker Flag picture was ho-hum to me BUT your stitching looks fantastic. It will really be beautiful. I thought you were going to do the cats in smoky color (per your cat) but I see you are going for black (as charted). Look so forward to your videos on Mondays.
She’s said she’s doing for Smokey. I think it may be camera issue changing the color. Cause she’s said she’s tested a grey DMC with a floss toss right on Smokey 😂
Sarah said she'd be using DMC 535 on the cat.
Yes, I am stitching the cat with DMC 535 and it looks like a nice, Smokey-matching dark grey in person. I'll try to remember to hold up a bobbin of 310 next to it in my next video and see if the camera can cooperate to help you see that it is truly grey! :D
Holy Smokes! Thanks, Sarah & co. @@StitchinMommy
I really enjoy your podcasts!
Wouldn’t it be fun to finish Dragon Ride in February for the start of the Chinese New Year of the Dragon? Not that I’m trying to stress you out 😂
Here all of us #yearofthedragonsal stitchers will just be starting our dragons and you’ll be finishing! ❤
Why is it I’m always enabled the most when I’m involved in hosting an event? That US Quaker flag is calling and calling…….
💕🤗💕
Yes, it's fun to see you all starting TW dragons while I'll be working on finishing up mine. :) I'm not sure how time-consuming it will be to finish up, so I want to set my expectations low. Best case, I finish early, but knowing TW, it could take much longer than it looks! :D
@@StitchinMommy very true! I’m going into this TW Dragon pattern with my eyes wide open! 😁
👍🏾😊
What is Collette's Instagram name? Interested in full coverage February. Thank you
Her IG name is colettestitcher. :)
