    I really like your lavender and lace pattern/kits. The quilt maker and the patriotic angel is so very pretty. I too seem to collect pattern kits that I have yet to get too. Lots of angels for me too that I have strangely, not made yet. Great job on your videos. I have thought about doing a channel myself since 2020 and have yet to do it so great job doing this for us watching.

    I found the nurge hoops earlier this year and love them. I have embroidered and cross stitched for years using various hoops but nurge is now my favorite. I have a few of the wooden ones but the plastic ones work very well also.

    Your stitching is beautiful! Such lovely charts . I enjoy your voice and your sense of humor! Great video .I also tend to do my borders to be sure they match, but I could try doing like you said Brenda recommended ! I did Maynia, my way ! 1 project a week, Saturday start through the next week ! It worked out good . I was always a monogamous stitcher in the past !

    Greetings from over the pond! I have loved watching your 2 videos and your voice is so soothing. I use a 4" hoop when stitching (Just the cheapie ones) because they are so light. ("Death Grip" made me laugh!) I'm going to check up on Amazon UK to see if they have Nurge Hoops as yours looked such good quality.

    Mrs. Cambell is beautiful, looking forward to seeing the frame you choose for her. Love the Alaska piece, what a special work to commemorate your cruise vacation trip. Thanks for your opinion on hoops. I stitch in hand on most of my projects but sometimes the linen is too soft and loose and needs a hoop to make nice stitches. So far I have only used hoops from Michaels or Hobby Lobby and know there are better ones out there. Enjoy your stitching!

    Great projects. I stitched The Quilt Maker years ago. It’s so pretty. I like to camp, too but we gave it up a number of years ago. It was really fun when the kids were growing up. What will you be doing up this way when you hope to get to Hobby House?

      @@TheCampingStitcher oh cool. I love the antique mall out on 332 between Canandaigua and Farmington. I can guess where you’re camping since I think there’s only the one campground. There’s a small cross stitch shop on Main St in Canandaigua and another in East Rochester…just a few miles from Hobby House. They just moved to a smaller location just down the road from their old shop in The Piano Work’s Mall…..they’re in a house on the same side of the road…just down past the Wendy’s. She has a lot of old treasures. Hobby House mostly has whatever’s new since it’s a new shop. Their stock of fabric and fibers can’t be beat. Have fun.

    Heard about you from Sambrie Stitches so I just finished watching #1 and 2 of your videos. Keep up with it before you know it you’ll have plenty of subscribers and if not you’ll have some loyal friends right? I can’t wait to see how you stitch on the road cuz my husband and I are going on a road trip, driving this time, to go back to our hometown in Michigan. We retired in Nov. 2020 and are living in FL now. I re-started cross stitching again in 2021 after about 15 years. I had gotten rid of so much of my stitching stuff including patterns and fabric! Yikes, what was I thinking huh! I now have a nice lighted magnifying lamp and can’t imagine how I’ll stitch in the car or while we’re gone. Any help is appreciated. I’m thinking some type of magnified glasses? If you have a lot of things you aren’t going to stitch then I agree do some giveaways. I think it may help you get some additional stitchers. I heard you say the word unicorn and that you were stitching it but slowly or something? I have a unicorn I’d love to borrow from someone (possibly purchase) it’s called Strawberry Garden by Blackbird design and is, of course, retired. It’s a smaller pattern like 5x7 if I remember right. You see I had it and in our move to FL I pitched it with so many other things I now regret. Ugh!! Anyway keep making videos and I’m on to watching more. Happy stitching!

    • @TheCampingStitcher
      @TheCampingStitcher  2 года назад

      You can try bigger counts of fabric too? I wear glasses so maybe some higher strength readers might be good? I don’t use a magnifier so I can speak to that. So sorry about all you pitched but I can tell you all of us have done that with our crafts, glad you came back to it.
