How exciting you found your unicorn Dimensions kit! That was very kind of the stitcher you mentioned to send you her used kit!! I am a huge Dimensions collector as well and I know how excited you had to have been to find that in your mail!! Look forward to seeing your progress on the stocking! (I never knew they had a stocking version of A Treasured Time!) I’m sitting here with the thread cards from the Petite coffee shop in my lap - trying to organize the threads - might need to work on this tomorrow. 😂
Hi Liz! Many years ago DMC offered an anniversary cabinet with slim drawers and slots to fit 2 skeins of each floss color and some space for miscellaneous. It also came with 2 charts to stitch a design for the front doors of the cabinet. It was a big splurge for me but I am so happy that I purchased it. Of course, it doesn’t accommodate new floss colors added or discontinued but I love that I always have 2 skeins available for kitting, etc.
Liz, I'm so glad to see the Winter's Twilight Stocking arrived safely. Thank you so much for the shout-out but also for giving that loved chart a new home. I was so happy to send it to you. I look forward to seeing your stocking progress in the future and your market releases soon as well. Thanks so much! 🥰
I’m so excited to join the SAL! I’m stitching the Toy Shoppe, since I’m not a fan of coffee. I haven’t stitched a Dimensions kit since the 90’s, but am super excited for this one! The nostalgia of it is making me so happy! Thanks for the inspiration! ❤
I had some free time early yesterday and couldn’t wait to start 😂 so I went ahead with a Center start with the teal colour doing the frames! Hehe we are of the same mind as to how to progress 👏🏻
Hi Liz: Thank-you for a fun filled video, love all your future projects, I have a DMC color chart, it is a necessity in needlework, I hope you show a video on how you cut the thread cards up. Looking forward to seeing your progress on the stitch along.
Liz, I can’t wait to see your market releases! Thanks so much for letting us know about the Lindy Stitches videos, I’m headed over there next! I would so love to join your SAL, but have a different full coverage piece I’ve had my eye on. Your enthusiasm is leading me towards it!
How nice that you complimented Stephanie from Lindy Stitches. How in the world did she ever dream up the Jingle Ball? And then produce such a wonderful, huge event! I look forward to your new designs.
Hello Liz! Can’t wait to start this SAL with you. When you say your starting with the bay window, do you mean both colors on the window. The Lt. Blue & the turquoise colors?
I bought the Toy Shoppe. I'm not on IG so can't post what I'm doing. I didn't know the Aida was so tiny! I've never stitched on that. I have a few other large Dimensions and if it's on this little Aida I may have to switch to 14 count. I usually work on 28 linen/lugana over-dye but since it's full coverage I'll stick with Aida. Hope I get used to it soon. I bought the large DMC chest that came with one skein of each color. I put the floss in the chest numerically and slipped a small piece of index card with the number range on it so I know what numbers are where. I do cut a piece of floss IF I NEED IT. I don't remove it-rule number 1 and if I should ever get low on one skein, I'll have time to get a new one. I have my floss on bobbins in big plastic cases because of cats and dust and fur. My overdye and silks are in plastic bins and not too organized. I'm getting ready to resume working on my Toy Shoppe. See ya in the next video
My kit is ready so going to get started as you suggested. I’m a 14ct still newish stitcher so hoping 18ct works but if not I’ll flip to 14ct. Thank you for organising 😉
Dimension kits have become a thing for me as well so far 4 and counting I did purchase the Coffee and Tea one and am currently trying to get it all set up… having fun getting it ready :-)))
Hi Liz, I went down the Dimensions rabbit hole a few years ago lol. There is no going back after your first Gold Collection finish! Just wanted to let you know that Stoney Creek Cross Stitch has the SAL kit available on their website.
Just went and ordered Tea Coffee shop just now,also the toy shop. But it won't be here for a while, so I will be behind in my start. Can't wait. Thank You!
Hi Liz - I’m just getting back into cross stitching after 25 years. I have never done a dimensional before and have ordered Feeding Frenzy. My question is - Can I do this on 36 count linen instead of 18 count Aidan. I am enjoying your RUclipss. Thank you
My kit arrived today. This is my first SAL. I cant decide if Im using the kit aida or 36 count evenweave. I’ll have to decide soon wont I. Happy stitching Liz!
Hi Liz - re the DMC floss card. In my post retirement "let's get the stitching life all set up", I purchased a package of every single DMC floss skein. It took me awhile to get them in FlossAway bags and then on large rings in numerical order, but I did finally do it. Now, when I purchase a pattern, I still buy the DMC floss that is called for on the pattern, but I know that I have a backup skein waiting for me if I need it. AND, when I am really good, when I finish a project I take the FlossAway bags I was using for the project and put them with the "master" set. If I were designing (and don't plan to, though I want to find floss that matches quilting fabric for when I integrate that work), I think it would help me to have full skeins to hold next to each other rather than just the few strand of the card. AND, yes, it was a big investment. Love the designs. See you at the Superb Owl. Anne
Hey Liz. I'm also collecting the vintage Prairie Schooler charts, as well as other designers including you. If you want help collecting/looking for them, let me know. I'm happy to help. No big deal for me to buy 2 of something and have you reimburse me. I know a couple of good sellers who have new stock of vintage charts left over from a business who is no longer.

I got my pattern on Everything Cross Stitch! Easy breezy. Excited for a change of pace with this SAL.
I love your video.
I happened to stash the coffee shoppe kit last year, so I suppose I have to join the SAL, haha! I can already tell it will be lots of fun!
Thank you for sharing.
wow, another bottom right starter. I was thinking I was the only one. I do single stitches or half down half back depending on the design.
Can’t wait to start the SAL. Unfortunately my chart is coming in February 15th. My sister is also doing the SAL

They have two cabinets now. Large and small. Not sure how many skeins they hold.
Having so much fun! ❤ My first Dimension kit. Loving it!
I have the kit got to get it ready

I’m stitching coffee SAL with you! Thank you for hosting this, I would have never been brave enough to tackle this by myself.
Getting my kit next Wednesday 🎉💃🎄

On your dimensions kits do you knot your thread as you start ?

Looking forward to starting this SAL with you, Liz. Can anyone tell me how many threads you’re using? I’m waiting on the delivery of my kit.

Are there any quarter stitches on the Dimensions SAL? I find that quarter stitches are difficult to do in Aida.
