    This is so inspiring! It was wonderful to see others appreciate the work that goes into not only cross-stitch but all handwork. I have been “collecting and rescuing” handwork for years and NOW I have some more wonderful ideas of putting them to use.

    OMG! This is so inspirational. It’s giving me so many ideas to work with my old Crosstitch that’s packed away not to mention all those vintage pieces of embroidery and lace that I just kept in my stash. now I have to go back and look at that medallion quilt video. Thank you!

    Oh my gosh, I never thought of taking pictures out of a panel and framing it. Now my mind is racing to say, "Hay what did I do with those cute patriotic bears that where not enough to make a quilt, but framed would make an awesome hanging in a Childs room. Thank you for this inspiration.

    I love this! Thanks for explaining about lightest to darkest for courthouse/log cabin. I spend way too long figuring that out. Now I will forever have your words in my head. I also hate things to be abandoned in thrift store. I also pick up toddler smocked clothes that have stains on them. I try to recycle all of those things into what I call half sized twin bed quilts. Every child needs something like that to cuddle. I must confess that I alive to find the Christmas ones and I am saving them for a quilt to go on my bed. I also like to pick up clothes that have patches sewn on them. The ones from the 70’s are the best. Great video.

    Thank you for sharing such a practical and creative idea to utilize attractive cross stitched panels. I have several that I really liked, but didn't want to frame to hang on my walls. I didn’t know what else to do with them, so they languished out of site in my closet. Now I know just what to do to bring them out of the dark, put them to good use and truly enjoy them - you've inspired me! 😊
