With the floss for halloween quaker, it looks better on haunted. The floss seems to pop more. So very sorry to hear about your fur baby. One of my fur grand babies has cancer as well, and I was just gutted when I was told. I now have a few more charts on my wish list. Lol. Building up my retirement plan. 😉
I think you’re attitude to your stitching this year is perfect. Stitch what you want when you want. Thanks for your comments on The Bee Sting. I started it but laid it aside. Will give it another go. ❤ to you and Prince
I don't think you would go wrong with either of those fabrics, but of the two I prefer Haunted. So sorry to hear about Prince, glad he is enjoying his time in the garden.
Awesome video. Love your wips and your kitted up projects. The one I love the best is ‘midnight ride’ it reminds me of my mom because she loved crows. See you next time. Happy stitching 🪡😊☃️
Elaine, I agree with your fabric change for the Halloween Quaker. I think it looks better than the murky. I would use a darker or brighter purple versus going lighter on that fabric for your monochromatic pattern. Enjoy the time with your boy! Dogs bring so much joy and companionship into our lives.
I agree with your plan to change the floss color to a lighter one. So sorry to hear about your beloved dog. I hope he gets to enjoy many more days lounging in the garden.
Hi Elaine, all of your stitching is looking fantastic. I love how we’ve started With Thy Hands in different places. It’s good to see what it’s going to look like. I think haunted for Quaker Halloween. Sorry to hear about your asthma and your boy Prince. Glad you get to spoil him for a bit longer. Take care my lovely friend. Happy stitching 😊
Spending my day off stitching and catching up some Flosstube. Lovely stitching, as always. Boo to the asthma … I think many people go undiagnosed. Asthma drugs are amazing so I’m sure you’ll see a difference! And yay for it not being COPD. My mama and three of her sisters died with COPD. I got a lung function test at a specialist to be told I don’t have it. Yay. Just asthma.
Oh Elaine - what a relief to get a diagnosis for your asthma, even if it was initially quite scary. Glad you have the right medication. I can't wait to see Cheese Delivery in real life in March.
Thanks for the video. The blue fabric for the Halloween project looks more like the night sky in October where I live, so I would pick that. I like the simple crochet blanket pattern "corner to corner" (C2C). I find it simple, easy and fun.
Hi Hun. I definitely think you need to stitch it on haunted. I think it would look much better. Sorry to hear about yr Dog. Loved seeing yr stitching. Take care hun. Xx
Great to see you Elaine ….sorry to hear you have asthma though at least you can get the correct treatment now, sorry your dog is unwell 😢 it’s hard when they get old we have a cocker spaniel who is 14 in June he’s showing his age now . I would definitely go with purple floss on your project and the haunted fabric on your other one 😊you have some beautiful projects ,take care and happy stitching x
I would stitch the Halloween Quaker on murky. I stitched it a while ago when I was a baby stitcher and I didn’t have a clue how to get murky so I actually dyed a piece for it myself and it turned out pretty good! I recently finished it into a huge cushion and I love it so much. Such a fun stitch’
Lovely to catch up with you Elaine. You’re clearly doing the right thing just stitching whatever takes your fancy as you seem to have got loads done. Re the thread you are not sure about - I find that if you are uncertain whether a thread will work, if you take a photo of it on the fabric and then switch it to black and white you can often see really easily whether the tones are too similar. I have been unsure about a colour in the past and then when you look at the black and white image it just sort of merges. And I definitely vote Haunted for Halloween Quaker. So sorry to hear about Prince bur you have more time to cherish him which is lovely and he can just enjoy himself in your garden. See you in March. xx
Lovely to see you! I wanted to chat back at the screen so we need a catch up soon!! Feeling very enabled by the things you have kitted up but need to resist 🤣 Happy Stitching my friend x
Sorry to hear about Prince Elaine, I hope he gets to spend many more months relaxing in your garden. ❤ You, again, manged a great amount of stitching. Lovely to see all your progress. I like the haunted for the Halloween quaker, have it to, hopefully start it sometime this year. Also the quaker, yeah, a darker thread I'd say would look better. Loved seeing your kitted mini parade. I really should start sticking my kitted in bags to start, instead of having them all over the place 😆 I was stitching on Rejoice Evermore while watching you and managed to finish the house, thank you for the distraction as it was getting a bit boring 😂 Happy stitching Elaine
I’d possibly go for a charcoal grey thread 🪡, definitely haunted, although I love murky . I’m planning to stitch the sheep virtues this year I’ve got all the charts. Sorry to hear about Prince, so sending virtual hugs. You will know when the time is right ❤
Nice to see you again Elaine. I'm sorry about your dog, and your Asthma diagnosis. I agree with you about the silk getting lost on that fabric and think a purple would look awesome. I started using Duolingo to learn Welsh sometime between New Year's and Christmas. I'm doing it just for fun. So far I think I could read or write it far better than speak it. Sometimes I have to slow it down so I can try and figure it out. Take care.
Love your videos and seeing your progress. As for which fabric I love haunted the best. As for crochet videos, Rich Textures Crochet, Blossom Crochet and Tuba crochet are great for different stitch patterns. I'm currently doing mosaic crochet which is using just 2 types of stitches and only working from the front side. Tinna Thorudottir videos is who I followed to learn it and Beba blanket and Fiber fox studios have good mosaic pattern tutorials too. Good luck and hope to seeing how you go with it. Happy crafting.
Sorry to hear about Prince. My husband was 19 when he got diagnosed with asthma despite having issues as a child. Haunted looks good for the quaker, you might have inspired me also.
You ae right about the silk color on the fabric for the Quaker. A purple would be pretty, something with a little more intensity. Not sure it needs to be neon! 😊 But it's your project. 😊 I vote for Haunted instead of the Murky for the Halloween Quaker. The yellows and orange look good against the bluer tones. Good luck with your kitted projects.
Love the bluer fabric for the Lila Crowe Quaker. Have a look at Attic 24 - she has a brilliant blog & step by step blanket instructions- lots of beautiful different designs. I managed to do one & the only reason I haven’t yet started another is because I can’t make my mind up! (And maybe that it’s a bit too hot here right now - think 40 Celsius)😂
Oh Elaine, I'm so sorry to hear about Prince; my heart goes out to you all. My concern with the floss for Halloween Quaker would be the grey; it was difficult to tell through the plastic; my advice would be to concentrate on which one that shows up better on. As for crochet, check out the video tutorials by Bella Coco on RUclips for techniques and how to videos. Also have a look at Attic 24 blogspot for free patterns and tips. I'm a newbie crocheter and have completed her cosy stripe and ripple blankets (there are also wool packs available through Wool Warehouse)
So sorry to hear about prince, I hope you can spoil him a bit longer! I’m currently working on Sheep Virtues too…just finished Patience & Love this month, and starting Friendship next month :)
I love your projects. I would have drove home if it was me just because I like being home. And I have asthma too I was around 5 and was playing in my uncle soybean scared everyone they thought I was dying got me out of gym class though so that was good. I would always rather know what you are dealing with then you know what to do.
Lovely catching up with you! I think the Halloween sampler you showed with both the gray fabric and floss does need a different floss, and I LOVED your idea of stitching it with a purple would look so amazing on that fabric! My vote for Halloween Quaker by Lila Studio is that haunted fabric, I think the colors look so striking against that one. I am so sorry to hear about Prince, I am sending both of you LOTS of wishes for strength and calm as you go through this difficult time. Thanks for sharing and Happy Stitching!
Sorry to hear about Prince. I lost my sweet companion earlier this year and it just is so hard to make the best decisions for them and so hard to let them go. Haunted is definitely my pick for Halloween Quaker, Murky varies WILDLY with the dye so it isn't an isolated issue. Also yes that silks4u is definitely too tone on tone for that piece. Love seeing your full coverages always! Happy Stitching!!!
I didn’t quite hear the name of the glorious fabric that you bought at the retreat … perfect for Something Wicked by La d da … thank you in advance !!😊
I always enjoy your videos ! I recently went through my shelves as well and made a list because i had no idea what i had kitted. I agree with you about that silk, I think you have to go darker or lighter. Sending lots of love for your Prince!
Hello Elaine, you’ve enabled me again, gonna have to stitch that boot and I don’t really do halloween! As you said we really do like the same things. Thank you for the mega mention!😂 So sorry Prince is unwell, I know what your pets mean to you. Bet you didn’t think this time last year that you’d be able to recognise your own Roosters call!😂 Definitely need a different thread on that fabric for your Quaker. Feels like an age until March retreat, already desperate for a catch up.xx
So sorry to hear about your old boy - hope he’s got a few good times left in him as yet 🙂 Like Halloween Quaker on Haunted, but when you did the floss toss I liked how they showed up on Murky - I can see your dilemma 🤦♀️🤷♀️ Hoping to get to the Crewel Gobelin in Sydney so will try and bring you back an Aus souvenir 😉
For Enchanted Quaker I was already thinking purple (I'm biased, it's my favourite colour) and then you said "neon purple"...I think that sounds perfect! I like the look of Haunted better for Halloween Quaker.
Awesome episode. For the enchanted Quaker lighter or darker floss. If it was me I would try something like a rust or gold (fall colours) for Halloween Quaker I think the floss looks better on Haunted. Can’t wait to see what you choose.
I think haunted would show the colors better than murky. Sorry to hear about Prince... sending hugs. All you can do is make him as happy and comfortable as possible and love on him lots.
Haunted gets my vote, some of those more vibrant flosses really ping off on it - gorgeous! Sorry about your old boy, you’re right you will know when it’s time. Never easy though 😢 Hey for Hen Peck - why not EST 2023 for your hen peck LOL established when you moved to Wales! Suppose it would be a bit tough to rejig the flags for the Welsh standard…. That red dragon… eek! - take care, Nic x
Try mosaic crochet. It's really easy. Tinna Thorudottir has excellent tutorials, great patterns that are easy and crochet really quickly. I've done 3 of them and learnt from her RUclips videos. Basically 2 stitches.
Great video Elaine😃. Would chalkboard grey go with the SILKS4U thread? My hand is itching already for the backstitching 😂 .Simba sends his woofs to your dear Prince🐾. Simbas back legs are going and hes loads of lumps and pumps but there is no way i'm putting in the hands of the Vet. Funnily enough i've been thinking about CatV this week worrying if her mum is okay. Are there many shops going in March?Take care🤗

Hi Suzanne, I’ve got to about 60% on The Bee Sting now and it’s gone back to being a bit of a slog, so I wouldn’t recommend it!!
I don't think you would go wrong with either of those fabrics, but of the two I prefer Haunted.
So sorry to hear about Prince, glad he is enjoying his time in the garden.
I would go with murky, it makes a very spooky looking stitch. So glad you have a little more time with your boy, we never have them long enough. Hugs.
Awesome video. Love your wips and your kitted up projects. The one I love the best is ‘midnight ride’ it reminds me of my mom because she loved crows. See you next time. Happy stitching 🪡😊☃️

I agree. Maybe a really dark purple.
I think I’d use Murky because I think it will show up better on it. Lovely to see you again as always and seeing your progress and plans . 😊
Sorry to hear about the fur baby. Ty for your time today.
I agree with your plan to change the floss color to a lighter one. So sorry to hear about your beloved dog. I hope he gets to enjoy many more days lounging in the garden.
You should always stitch what you want to stitch, that’s the fun of stitching 😊x
Hi Elaine, all of your stitching is looking fantastic. I love how we’ve started With Thy Hands in different places. It’s good to see what it’s going to look like. I think haunted for Quaker Halloween.
Sorry to hear about your asthma and your boy Prince. Glad you get to spoil him for a bit longer. Take care my lovely friend. Happy stitching 😊
Spending my day off stitching and catching up some Flosstube. Lovely stitching, as always.
Boo to the asthma … I think many people go undiagnosed. Asthma drugs are amazing so I’m sure you’ll see a difference! And yay for it not being COPD. My mama and three of her sisters died with COPD. I got a lung function test at a specialist to be told I don’t have it. Yay. Just asthma.
Hello Elaine so enjoyed your video, so very sorry to hear the sad news about your beautiful dog ❤️ take care of yourself stay safe and well 💐 .

Your WIPs are looking so good.

Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❄️
I think haunted would look amazing for Halloween quarker 😍
Lovely catch up Elaine, so sorry to hear about your asthma and Prince, but lovely work on your stitching x
So good to see you. For your Halloween Quaker, I vote for Haunted. The fabric would complement the design.
Sorry to hear about Prince Elaine, I hope he gets to spend many more months relaxing in your garden. ❤
