Your Love Birds piece is gorgeous! I like your color choices for your birthday stitch. Very pretty! I look forward to your Market video. Thank you for taking the time to do it. I'm sure I will see lots of patterns that I want to stitch. ❤🪡
Carolyn: Your Love Birds design is beautiful and framed perfectly, lovely. Nice design you are stitching.I did win but am patient and will wait we all get busy. Thank-you.
Lovely work on everything. The kitten SAL is adorable but I have way too much going now to join haha. Will be fun to watch the progress though. I personally like the flowers on the winter piece. Good luck deciding. Have a wonderful week ahead.
I would put the flowers in the 5th square. We have Winter Flowers called the Hellebores and mine are getting the buds & I am in Illinois. I love the birds & it is so delicate looking. Happy Stitching.
Hi Carolyn! The Love Birds is so beautiful! Yes, you can do it! You can get the 1544 Band Sampler finished this month :)! Looking forward to see what's coming out at Nashville! Getting my Wish List ready. Happy Stitching!
I love your Jardin Prive piece, so beautiful. Also love love your Consider the Lilies. I'm too chicken to start mine yet, not quite ready and don't know when I'll ever get that thing started, but one day I'll do it. Your band sampler is looking so great. The color you chose for your JBW piece is so pretty too. Thank you for another great video and hope you have a wonderful week.
Consider the Lilies is a big piece, but it's very motivating to stitch because of all the small motifs - you feel like you keep getting small "finishes" or "wins"
I remember when you finished the birds and how beautiful it is. The fabric is perfect for the piece. I love all your upcoming Sals. Looking forward to seeing your stitching them. Go Chiefs!
Hey Karen, here in the Netherlands red tullips are christmas flowers, especially grown in the glasshouses for christmas. So they are in all the christmas bouquets. So maybe that is the same in other countries in Europe and that is how they get into christmas designs.
Glad you are well and stitching away. I love you Love Birds so elegant the mat was a very good choice. I pulled out our last year’s Birthday stitch “Blue Rhapsody” and stitched on her for about 10 days. I have all of the top left corner done and all the alphabet and the first border type design below the alphabet. I still have to do the tall “bush” that goes up the right side. I don’t know if I am really getting bored or just tired, but I am wanting to get out the next WIPCO project “Hoity Toity”. I am using Jan Hick’s color conversion. I am almost to the middle of that stitch.
You have probably worked more on Blue Rhapsody than me! It will go on my "finish" board for next year. I do also need to pull out Hoity Toity - it's been a while since that one has seen some love.
Love your Consider the Lilies! Wow! Using 2 strands makes it come alive! I do plan on joining you for your sals. I did get both thread packs for the kitten and for the hummingbirds. Can’t wait! On your little angel in Christmas in the Woods, I like the flowers around her, but I’m not sure of the flower on her dress. What could you do instead? Make her dress solid red? Happy stitching!! ❤️💛Go Chiefs!❤️💛
Yes I am LOVING how Consider the Lilies is turning out with 2 strands. Thanks for the ideas on the angel - I will have to play around with it a bit to see. So happy the Chiefs won!
For youth angel pattern you could change the flowers to holly vines with or without berries and then a snowflake on her dress. You have 4 of 12 so 1/3 done. Congratulations
Hi Carolyn. Thank you for filming. You have so many pretty pieces going now. The little angel could have a poinsettia, which is a winter flower, or holly or mistletoe. Or a charm! Also extra snowflakes around her. Have you considered using an external hard drive for additional computer storage? I love mine. ⚘️
I love the love birds!! They are beautiful! I am for the Chiefs also. Hope they win! Beautiful stitching! Have a terrific week. I would turn the flowers into pine branches. That would be pretty, I think.
Lovely wips. Gosh, you’re such a fast stitcher! Love everything you’re working on. Hope things at your school slow down so that you can relax and stitch a little bit more. You made a great call on that Prim project. Those colors do POP! Love the design. Happy stitching❣️🧵
I was able to convert the Sullivan flosses for Hummingbird Garden to DMC on the Sullivan website. They have listings for each colour of their floss using their floss numbers & for each colour they provide the equivalent DMC floss number.
Hi. Jusst fund your channel through Georgia Girl Stitching. I really enjoyed your video so you have a new subscriber :). I will be stitching along for your bday SAL as my Dad's birthday was also 3/22.
Hi sweet friend and Simon! Love Birds is still one of my favorite of your finishes. I might try to do it sometime in the future and try using Floche on it. Right now, I am not much into the whole love thing even if I love almost everything birds, as you have probably guessed. I hope you continue to avoid the flu. My bestie was in the hospital last month with respiratory failure. She thought she just had a cold so was waiting it out but woke her hubby up at 6 a.m. to take her to the ER because she was having trouble breathing and ended up being hospitalized for 3 days and going home on inhalers, steroids, and breathing treatments. Scared the heck out of her. There are a couple Market pieces I would like but can't preorder at this time so hopefully will be able to get them later if I still want them. Great progress on your band sampler and Sampleur aux Fleur. Beautiful colors. Winter Montage is looking fabulous. I know you feel like it is slow going but it is so beautiful. I would replace the flowers with either mistletoe or holly berries on Woodland Christmas. Consider the Lilies is going to be fabulous. I really like your version of it with the colors being brighter with 2 strands. I am stitching my Fox and Rabbit Mystery SAL with 2 strands on 18 count so that the colors will pop more. The hedgehog is so cute from your magazine extra. I am still debating on doing the Hummingbird Garden SAL because I really love that piece but man I don't need another dang start this month. I ended up with 6 starts in January, will have 3 in February, and a minimum of 2 new starts per month of kits for the rest of the year. Congrats on the Chiefs OT win. Hope your week slows down a bit. Love and hugs to you and the boys. Happy Galentine's Day! Dawn
Hey lady!! I am also starting everything all the time this year - what’s one more hummingbird start? You won’t even notice it! How scary about your friend - some serious stuff is going around right now. Sending you all so much love!
Hi! Oh I so enjoy the preorder even though I never buy anything. Wish shipping wasn’t so expensive I would do that tiny bowl set. Oh Montage is fantastic! Love it❤ when you can’t pronounce google and ask for pronunciation. A (soft a)nenemy. Lol and jardin is jar dan(n is there but almost isn’t) when I lived overseas my parents had friends who were translators in Belgium and because I played with all the kids in the 3 different countries, I was adept at catching the languages. They were insistent I would make a good translator. Haaa yea I was young, we came back to Canada when I was 13. Lol. Now I only know my french and even that when you don’t use it you lose it. Ha like my body’s muscle mass. Lol oh I am crazy this morning. 😂 okay, I will restart my full coverage Sunflower piece in March.. a start along though.. lol
Ha ha ha! Usually I can pronounce Jardin Prive, but boy I tell you - my language was off in that video! I learned German in high school and college and was fluent at one point in time, but haven't used it hardly at all so most of it is gone now.
@@czookstitch488 I can still count in German and a few plain phrases. But like you my french is waning a here in maritimes they speak acadian french and unless slow I don’t know the slang. Plus hey… lol I finished university in 1976
Such pretty fabric for your love birds. I have been stitching again for almost five years and still don't know what "prim" stitching means. Could you explain? Love your plans and your projects. I just don't know how you handle them all. Happy stitching.... xox
I'm catching up with watching FlossTube. I apologize if you said it in the video and I missed it, but what floss did you use for the Lovebirds by Autumn Lane? I'll be starting it for the Queen City Stitchers Retreat and I have some gorgeous pink fabric but I'm not sure what floss I really want to use. 🪡👠
Your Love Birds piece is gorgeous! I like your color choices for your birthday stitch. Very pretty! I look forward to your Market video. Thank you for taking the time to do it. I'm sure I will see lots of patterns that I want to stitch. ❤🪡
I love the woodland Christmas on that dove gray. The contrast really works.
Hi Carolyn
I love your Beautiful Wip’s - they are so pretty.
Take Care and Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🙏☕️❤️
Love Birds is gorgeous!
Carolyn: Your Love Birds design is beautiful and framed perfectly, lovely. Nice design you are stitching.I did win but am patient and will wait we all get busy. Thank-you.

Consider the Lillies is AMAZING!!!
Your color choices for Floral Sampler are really pretty! I’m excited to see how both of ours look. 😍
Yay! Sarah approved!! :D
I have my the snuggle is real excited
Lovely work on everything. The kitten SAL is adorable but I have way too much going now to join haha. Will be fun to watch the progress though. I personally like the flowers on the winter piece. Good luck deciding. Have a wonderful week ahead.
You are so talented have a great rest of your weekend
Thank you so much my friend!
Love the tiny modernist piece - would put snowflakes in place of the flowers 😊
Good idea!!
Woodland Christmas look fun. Good call on changing snowflake for that flower.
Oh my!!!! Look at consider the lilies
Join us on Consider the Lilies!!
I would put the flowers in the 5th square. We have Winter Flowers called the Hellebores and mine are getting the buds & I am in Illinois. I love the birds & it is so delicate looking. Happy Stitching.
Oh this is good to know! Thank you!

I hope I can finish the band sampler - I have missed a couple of days so far this month, but we're getting there!
@@czookstitch488 One stitch at a time :)
Plan to join in the snuggle kitty SAL. Great vlog again Caroline! 🐨👍🎈♥️
Wonderful! So happy you’ll be joining us!
@@czookstitch488 thanks! Is there somewhere you are planning to post progress pics?
I finished Consider the Lillies a few years ago - 32 count 2over 2. It used a lot of thread, but was great fun to stitch. Enjoy all your projects ❤
Ohhhh! You wanna come finish mine too? 😂😂
Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
The fabric name is 'Ah- Nem- Oh- Knee' I believe, Carolyn. 😊 Looking forward to the Nashville video! Gotta get this year's wish list going! 😁
Ahhhh super helpful! Thank you so much my friend!

I love how your Consider The Lilies is turning out using 2 strands. And the fabric IS perfect. Your stitching is just lovely.
Thank you so much!
For the angel stitch I would change the flower spray into a pine bough.
Great idea! Thank you!
I remember when you finished the birds and how beautiful it is. The fabric is perfect for the piece. I love all your upcoming Sals. Looking forward to seeing your stitching them. Go Chiefs!
I used the called for fabric for the lovebirds. I love looking at it throughout the year hanging in my hallway!
Hey Karen, here in the Netherlands red tullips are christmas flowers, especially grown in the glasshouses for christmas. So they are in all the christmas bouquets. So maybe that is the same in other countries in Europe and that is how they get into christmas designs.
I love this so much - thank you for sharing!
Currently stitch the humming bird garden as I was watching this video lol
Ahhhh fantastic! I can't wait to start it!

Hi Carolyn,
Thank you for the video.
Love love love your Jardin Prive start. Can't wait to see more.
Have a great week. 🪡🪡
😘
Red is not my favorite color, but Love Birds looks pretty with it.
I agree - I wouldn’t normally go for fancy colors for the fabric, but this one worked!
So excited for #areyoukittenmesal!! I’ll have to gather together the supplies for #hummingbirdgardensal. I love Carolyn Manning’s work! GO CHIEFS!!
Yay yay yay!!
I love the love birds!! They are beautiful! I am for the Chiefs also. Hope they win! Beautiful stitching! Have a terrific week. I would turn the flowers into pine branches. That would be pretty, I think.
Thank you for the idea!! Go Chiefs!
All of your WIPS look great. I love your color choices for the JBW pattern. Have a good stitchy week, stay healthy and Go Niners. LOL
Lol noooooo not the niners!!

Great idea! Thank you!
My birthday is March 24th. Kitten chart is so sweet. Love the love birds.
HEY almost birthday twin!!
My birthday is March 27 so my small purchase at Market is also a birthday present to myself.
Perfect!
I'll have to come up with a start for your birthday! I might restart Flee Market Flowers. 💜💜💜
Yes yes yes!

Woodland Christmas is so cute. Instead of spring flowers how about poinsettias, and holly leaves and berries?
Great idea!!
Hi Carolyn how about a garland with holly berries around her like an arch
Great idea - thank you!

Such pretty fabric for your love birds. I have been stitching again for almost five years and still don't know what "prim" stitching means. Could you explain? Love your plans and your projects. I just don't know how you handle them all.
Happy stitching.... xox
Oh that's a good question! I will answer it in today's video! Thank you my friend! XO
I'm catching up with watching FlossTube. I apologize if you said it in the video and I missed it, but what floss did you use for the Lovebirds by Autumn Lane? I'll be starting it for the Queen City Stitchers Retreat and I have some gorgeous pink fabric but I'm not sure what floss I really want to use. 🪡👠
What are you going to use as the hashtag for you birthday sal?
Happy stitching 🪡🧵🥰
I'm not sure yet - I will think of something before March starts and let you all know!
