- Hello friends! Thanks for joining me for my 2024 end-of-year WIP parade. I hope you like what you see today!
I would be so appreciative if you would like my video and subscribe to my channel. Please leave a comment below or connect with me on Instagram @stitchysarahreads. Happy stitching friends!
Love, love, love WIP Parades! You have such a diverse group of WIPS. Looking forward to seeing some of them finished in 2025!
You are overthinking the Barbara Ana Madam Butterfly chart! The colors look fabulous on that fabric! Love all of your WIPs!❤
Enjoyed seeing all of your projects ❤ Always inspiring 😊
I love a long wip parade! Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful wips!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Sarah! I’m a new viewer drawn in by your pretty smile and all the WIPs! Yay for a two-hour video! Your stitching is beautiful!
Welcome to the channel! Glad you’re enjoying the content.
I loved your stitch parade. I only do one project at a time until it is completed. Your videos show you can do more than one at a time. So funny that you are right up the road from me. You mention Keepsakes and i frequent that shop often. I do like Martha's heirlooms in Mason too. Small but super friendly. Thanks for sharing your stitching😊
I’ve never heard of that shop in Mason. I’ll have to check it out!
Amazing WIP parade, Sarah! I got some good stitching done while watching.
You totally overwhelm me with all of your WIPS. Are you overwhelmed too? Such beautiful stitches and I would want some of them finished so I can look at them. Yes, I did watch the whole 2+ hrs. Fun!
Well, I finished 46 things in 2024, so despite the large amount of WIPs I have, I am also getting things done and displaying them in my home. The amount of WIPs someone has depends on their personal comfort level, and that’s unique for everyone. I enjoy my WIPs and I am comfortable with how many I have. I appreciate you watching the whole video, even though you found it overwhelming.
Hello Sarah, I enjoyed your WIP Parade so very much. You are an A+ stitcher. I can say that because I’m a retired teacher. 32 years in lower elementary, mainly kinder! That’s something we have in common and I just purchased the Stacy Nash chart, “ Merry Autumn Pinkeep.” I’m a linen stitcher but 32 and infrequently 36 count are my normal choice. Though I did try 18 ct Aida to get the small look. It wasn’t bad. Loved all your project bags and WIPs. Good luck with the finishes. Thank you again, for the great floss tube.
I'm glad you enjoyed my WIP parade. Happy stitching! Love hearing from fellow teachers!
Loved seeing all your projects! Glad you found your missing wip
I like that you read what the stitches say….
Loved all your projects! Here is to many finished projects in 2025!
So many beautiful stiching,hello from Hungary.
Thank you! 😊
Love your WIP parade. I have restarted many projects because I didn’t like the fabric. If you are not liking the fabric, restart! Your time is valuable. I started out like you with Aida and progressed to linen. You have a great eye for fabric color. TFS.
Thanks, I agree! Time is valuable!
So many great projects. Worked on my Dasher & Dancer project while watching. Amazed at how well you keep track of all your WIPs
Thanks! It’s definitely a challenge keeping track of them all!
I love, love, loved seeing all of your WIPs! I grabbed my Blackbird book with the 4 panels (from the heart? With my heart? Can’t remember and I’ve moved locations 😂) as soon as you showed yours…Will kit it up this weekend and get a new start. Cuz I’m running out of things to stitch (she said very sarcastically). Have a great night Sarah!
Thanks Cheryl!
Thank you for the WIP parade. I was glad it was long. I too love the Blue Flower. I have done the night walked down and the Moonlit sampler. But I left out the alphabet, lol. I didn't care for the color of the fabric on your cross stitches you were redoing. I love the saying, do what makes you happy. Its a good one for the new year. Have a great day and please keep the videos coming. :)
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Sarah. I wouldn't restart or change any of your projects! I like all your choices in floss and fabric. But as we cross stitchers well know, there are no rules. Love all your stitching.
Loved this WIP parade! So organized and informational. Not too long either. Thank you for your videos! ❤❤
Thanks so much for watching!
Wonderful WIP Parade! Thank you so much!!
Thanks for watching!
Love seeing your projects!
So happy you found your missing WIP!! Such a relief. Excellent WIP parade! I love all your stitching - such a great variety of projects. I don’t blame you for frogging the pink house….I don’t understand why many times the called for colors don’t look like the cover photo. It can be very disappointing. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤❤
FANTASTIC WIP parade! I love the fabrics you select to go with your projects! Everything is so beautiful, and yes, we have several projects that are the same. Mostly mine are still kits! Thank you so much! That had to have exhausted you! Sorry! Happy stitching!❤
When I saw this video was 2 hours, I got all my stuff done and sat down to stitch. Love a long WIP parade! 💕 Thank you! 💕
You are so welcome!
Loved it Sarah! You impressed me with your organization and ironing! You have so many wonderful WIPS. Things will get done when they get done, it’s not a competition or a race, right? Thanks so much for the inspiration and for taking the time to make this video! Hugs. ❤
I agree, it's not a competition! Thanks for the hugs, you're sweet. 🥰
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to create such a fun video!
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely loved your WIP parade and you DID inspire me!!! And I am so glad you found the lost project!! Have a great weekend and keep these videos coming! We all enjoy them.
I'm so glad it inspired you! Happy stitching!
A lovely wip parade and I really like your choice of patterns
Thank you!
Enjoyed every minute!!!
Thank you!
Sarah...enjoyed all your WIPs. Happy and healthy new year!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you too!
Enjoyed your wip parade while I was stitching, have a few of the patterns you are stitching but haven’t started them yet or even kitted them. Sure makes me want to stitch all the things. You are so super organized, wish I was too, but just happy to be stitching.
Happy stitching!
What a fun WIP parade. I loved watching it all. You're timing was great. Happy stitching in 2025 ❤
Thank you! You too!
Loved your wip parade! I also loved all the different bags by different makers. I really want to check them out.
I’m glad you liked the bags!
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Looking forward to 2025 with you!
Thank you so much!
This was so much fun, your wip parades are some of my absolute favorites!❤
I feel the same way about yours! Just watched your Finish Parade today!
Enjoyed this WIP parade so much! I saw so many that I either want to start or have started already. I think I saw on the “My Blue Heaven”, that someone did the roof in x’s only. I’m hoping I remember that correctly cause I’m going to try to do that also. Thanks for showing all your bags too cause I love seeing them. Great video! Pretty makeup too! Happy New Year!
Thanks so much! Happy New Year to you too!
Loved it. Beautiful WIP’s. The length was perfect. Never too long.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I 🩷🩷 your WIPs!!
You choose the most perfect fabrics (unless you don't love it, then yes, change it)!! I am the same, the project bag needs to match the pattern...lol I always enjoy your videos!! 💖✨ Yaay! So glad you found that beautiful chart!!
Thanks for watching! Happy New Year!
Loved your WIP parade. We have a few of the same projects going. 💕
Great minds think alike!
I enjoyed your WIP parade, your stitching is always beautiful and I love seeing all of your different projects. Have a blessed 2025. Thanks Janine
I also have the 100 owls pattern and haven’t started it yet. Madam butterfly I love your fabric color for that piece. I love the marbling in the fabric. When you buy bags from other vendors do you feel like your cheating on you’re mom and sister? lol I love all your bags. Loved all your stitches, so beautiful. Keep on stitching. Can’t wait to see what you stitch in 2025.
Thanks so much!
My Blue Heaven is so unique and lovely. I love it. I'll have to look up the inspiration story. Home Sweet Home is really special, too. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Thanks for watching!
Loved watching everything ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing all your WIPs! Can’t wait to see what you do in 2025. Your laugh makes me smile. 😃 Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
Hello Sarah, I am so glad I found your video today. What a wonderful presentation. I loved every moment. Lovely projects. You are always a pleasure to watch and listen to. Thank you for sharing your time and thoughts. ❤☕️🎉🇨🇦
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the WIP parade! I was sewing away while watching. We have so many of the same wips!
I have just dipped into the 40 ct after 5 years of stitching. I definitely feel you about suddenly wanting everything to be on 40! I am making myself work through my 32ct projects in 2025 to try not to abandon them all!😅 love your WIPs and see you in 2025🎉
Happy stitching in the new year!
Wow! Amazing projects!
Loved watching
Thanks so much 😊
Woo! Love this time of year and the wip parades are so fun! I'm stitching a new start today while watching.
Wonderful!
Amazing video Sarah. I always say you're such an inspiration!
Aw, that's so sweet of you to say!
Sarah on the 2 that are on Tyco especially the one with so much done try antique stain on it first before you restart. I think you will like it. Antique it and then try finishing it. I love your WIP parade i can't believe you have that many WIPS i thought I had a lot with 20. I would loose my mind if I had that many. I worry about 20.
Thanks for the suggestion
I really have enjoyed seeing all your whips. Having that many whips would drive me nuts. LOL I mostly a one project at a time person. If I had that many whips I wouldn't know which one to do next. But that's my brain. LOL
It’s definitely a bit overwhelming to have that many projects going at once! LOL
Loved your WIP parade. Yes, I stayed until the end - loved every project. Beautiful bags too.
I’m plugging away on Serenity. I’m very monogamous in my stitching. I have maybe two smalls going with my Serenity but I love seeing all of yours
Happy New Year 🎉
Your Serenity progress is looking amazing Vicky!
You are so organized. I love watching all your videos.
I appreciate that!
Sarah, A year ago I discovered FlossTube and you were my very first video. I hadn't cross stitched in 35 years and your videos got me hooked! The last year has been full of so much fun stitching , rediscovering my local cross stitch store in Branson, Missouri and I joined 2 stitching groups in Springfield, Missouri. I just wanted to tell you that I love your videos and you are my favorite RUclipsr in my new stitching world! I was a Special Education teacher working with High Schoolers and I just jived with your teacher energy and appreciate all you do for our stitchy community! Keep your wonderful videos coming and know that I am encouraging you in every way! Happy New Year!!!
Kari St.Clair Springfield, MO
Kari, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad my videos could rekindle your love of stitching! ❤️
Great video. I love all your work, even those you don't. I guess I like the pattern and the quality of your work. Happy new year.
Thank you Danielle!
I think the Barbara Anna Madame Butterfly piece looks great on that gray mottled fabric! Keep going! Happy New Year!
Thanks for the encouragement!
Love me a WIP Parade.
Me too!
Hi Sarah! Alright, Sweet Pea, if you’re not happy with how a piece is going you should definitely start over. Mail me those you’ve abandoned and I’ll frog them for you so you don’t waste your fabric and mail them right back. Our hobbies are supposed to finish filling our buckets after family, friends, career. I really enjoyed this video. A long one is great every now and then. Great job in decreasing your WIP count this year. Happy New Year, many blessings. ❤K
Haha, you have no idea how many things I need frogged! 😂
Sarah, since your children gave you the 2021 stitch for Mothers Day I would restart it on your now favorite 40 count fabric. You will be happier about the whole thing!! This is a cute design. Great job working down your wips this year. I always enjoy your flosstube Happy New Year!🎉
I think I will restart it so that I will be excited to get back to it.
So excited to see your WIP parade 🎉🎉 You have such positive energy Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and talent ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Love your parade. 🎉. I very rarely change fabric I just keep going.
Thank you for giving us such an inspirational viewing of stitches!
Thank you for watching!
Always love your videos and WIP parades. I do try and match my bags with projects but sometimes it doesn’t work out lol. I’m also a fudger and I’ll restart on new fabric for sure!
It's definitely a challenge to match everything up!
The love bars sampler is so pretty maybe if you just finished the center and did as a pinkeep if you have a trench bowl for Valentines day I think it is beautiful
I love that idea!
Thank you for the wonderful WIP Parade!!! My favorite one so far!!
Wow, thank you!
Wow! You’ve got a lot of wips Sarah 🤣.. .that should certainly keep you busy in 2025. Your stitching is beautiful. Maybe I should go through my measly little wips and see what I can get done. Happy New Year to you and your family.
I hope you have a great 2025!
Awesome WIP parade Sarah! I always enjoy your stitches and beautiful floss and fabric! I have to say every time I see My Blue Heaven Sampler I absolutely love it! Want to start a sampler so maybe it will be that one!!! Happy New Year! Hope it is a wonderful year for you!🎉
My Blue Heaven is one of my favorites!
Loved your WIP parade, thank you for taking the time to put it all together and for all the lovely videos you shared with us this year. Hope you’ll have a wonderful, creative and healthy 2025.
Thanks Annie!
Congratulations on all of your hard work over the last few years. Thanks for sharing your talent with us. Happy New Year.
Thanks Arlene!
Loved everything! I am starting Serenity. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!
Happy new year!! Thank you!
I love WIP parades. Thank you for sharing.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your video. Love all your projects! Happy New Years!
Thank you! Happy New Year!
Love boat on beautiful fabric, you should consider pushing through ❤
Thanks for the encouragement!
Wishing you a happy and healthy new year!
Thank you! You too!
Love all your WIPS
Thank you!
I enjoyed seeing all your WIPs. Mudpuppy Stitchery finished 100 Owls this year. She shows it off in her Flosstube #25. I really like the fabric you chose for it.
I’ll have to check out her Flosstube!
Happy New Year Sarah. Love watching your wip parade it is very inspiring. Is it possible for you to do a video about how you prepare your floss, fabric etc for a new start? Do you put the whole skein in your project bag or do you split the skein ? Wishing you an awesome stitching adventure in 2025🎉
Thanks Rosalyn? I can talk about it in an upcoming video.
@ thank you warm regards Rosalyn 🫶🏻
So much work to put a great WIP parade together! Thank you for taking the time to iron and talk about each piece, show threads and even bags. That shows such respect for us as your audience and I appreciate it. I also like when you read what is on the pattern if there is a saying. You have many beautiful projects. Proud of you for reaching your 24 in24 goal. AND having all of those finishes! Thanks for the inspiration and motivation. @cbellsew
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you taking the time to notice and comment on those little things that I do. Happy stitching!
All are beautiful to me. I just don’t feel like I could do those big pieces but still gorgeous
Thanks Pam!
So many great WIPs! I have a long list of new ones I want to start, especially Meditation Garden and The Little Dog. A thought on Little Pink House, from the front cover and your light pink house I wonder if it’s stitched in light pink and then larger stitches over it in red?
It could be. Maybe I should try that before I frog all of that house.
Lovely WIP parade!! I cant imagine the amount of effort that goes into doing one of these so thank you for doing it! It was fabulous. 😊
Hopefully I can help with at least one of the mystery fabrics. The first one from Kitten Stitcher was likely a Dames of the Needles fabric as she has a color named that and Kitten Stitcher sells it. Could the S&S dyer stand for Stitches and Spice? They no longer dye fabric so its hard to find the list of fabric names and I am not overly familiar with them. I remember their Camofudge being the called for on a few patterns but thats about all I know about them. Worth a google maybe.
Thanks for the help with the fabrics!
I liked all your WIPS, but I think I would need two life times to finish them all!
I probably will need two lifetimes to finish them all! 😂
Tons of great stitching. I know it's a long shot, bot is it possible the S&S is Steelcity Stitchers? You mentioned them in another project... jist a thought. Happy New Year!
That’s a good guess, but Jodi never names her colors, so I’m guessing this isn’t hers since it has a name. I really have no clue where this fabric came from. 😂
Well ... I now have a few new designs to buy! Your WIP parade was great - you're so organized :) Thank you so much for spending the time to show us all your projects and I'm inspired to trying substituting some colors. Happy 2025
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you found the lost WIP!!
Love the charts Deer Friends and Floral Motif Sampler. I would like to start this one.
Do you think Ballet Slippers would be a good fabric ??
Yes I do!
Your pacing was great! Wonderful show and tell.
One question - your floss drops look like the perfect floss lengths, please share the measurement. 🪴
Thanks! I cut my floss into 18 inch lengths.
❤️❤️❤️
💛💚💛
Long video but really great!!!
On your Noel sampler, I saw where someone stitchet their piece except for the snowflakes, sprayed the stitched piece with antiquing spray and then stitched the snowflakes.
That’s a good idea!
I would totally restart if I don’t like the fabric. I am very weird about yellowy fabric. You could save the fabric for a St. Patrick day stitch, green floss would be pretty on that fabric.
That is a great idea, I'll have to keep that in mind for a future project!
Painted Leaf Co fabrics used for project bags are amazing! I usually sew my own project bags. I’m now on the look out for fabric choices just like Painted Leaf Co! 🌿 BTW…..where can I find current project bag inventory from Painted Leaf Co?
Here’s the link to her shop. There’s not any current inventory, but check back because she’ll be restocking soon.

💟☮️
Loved this video! I have a question. Where can I find My Blue Heaven pattern? I can’t seem to find it . Thank you 😊
I believe it is sold exclusively through Keepsakes.
I Only stitch on 32 count cause my eyes won't do anything in a higher count. So everything I do is with two threads. I have never tried one over two but would love to give it a try.
You have such beautiful fabrics.
On your Noel sampler could you just finish the house. The piece would be so cute inserted into the front of a bag. I wouldn't stitch anything more but the house. Then cut it off and keep the rest of your fabric. Also all your work would not be wasted or the threads.
Yes, I did something similar with my Away We Ride that I restarted. I definitely don’t want all of that stitching to go to waste.
On the Love Boat project, I feel it’s just too much pink with that fabric and all the pink flowers. A more organic looking fabric( green/brown/ tan would suit better. Great WIP parade. Keep up the good work.
Could your mystery fabric that is spice splash blend for the biscornu have been purchased from Starlight Stitchery? I notice she sells some fabric 40 ct and higher on her website and the maker letters S.S. would match.
Possibly!
Question where did you find the hole punch you use for your floss drops also where did you find your floss rings
I get everything on Amazon.
Can you link painted leaf co? I love the bags!!
Here ya go! www.etsy.com/shop/PaintedLeafCo
Do you think SNS stands for Spice Blend Splash (from the name of the color)? The B is just one key over from the N... not sure though!
Not sure. That is a possibility. 🤷♀️
Great Wip parade. Can you tell me the fabric the Halloween at Hawk Run hollow. I can’t make out what you are saying in the video. Thank you.
