Hi Brenda, thanks so much for sharing all your beautiful patterns! Such eye candy! Looking forward to following your progress on them. Happy New Year and Happy Stitching! Lori
Just loved seeing all your gorgeous stitches! Your fabric and floss conversions are always a treat to see. I just love your sense of color and determination in choosing such large projects!
Such a pleasure to watch your videos. So excited for your soon retirement. You'll probably be stitching -life size- max color projects then! Everything you stitch is just beautiful.
Wow! I love how eclectic you are in your pattern, floss, and fabric choices. Always a mix of relaxing to listen & stitch with, yet exciting and challenging. Happy 2024🎉
I'm so inspired by you. I love your choice of patterns and how you actually finish your WIPs. I retired in 2015 and spend a lot of time indulging in my three hobbies: reading, crocheting, and my favorite, cross stitching. I look forward to spending time watching your videos.
You truly have amazing projects-your stitching is exquisite! I particularly love Serenity Harbor-would love to know the colors for your conversion for the water-it really stands out!
Thank you so much for adding the count of fabric and how many threads you are working over, I really do appreciate the time you spend showing your projects
What a fun way to start my morning! Every morning I do a search for floss tube filter by date to catch the very latest video and today I found you. Love your attitude about working with mistakes!
I really love your Kingdom of Books. It is so beautiful, especially the colour of the floss. R-Kade is gorgeous. I really like how the colour of the floss goes with the fabric. That one is very beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished piece.
Loved seeing all your beautiful projects. You always have such a gorgeous variety of projects and have enabled me to buy a few that I've never seen before. I will enjoy watching your progress.
Brenda, I love every one of the patterns you have selected! They are beautiful, but most of them are intricate and/or huge! Thank you for taking the time to show them to us. I just believe you either never sleep or Utah has more than 24 hours in a day! Enjoy your hobby!
i realize why i enjoy watching you - you don't stitch what everyone else is stitching! I want to thank you for holding up your projects long enough that i can get a really good look at them! i had never heard of sara guermani and i now i want to stitch one of her charts - the Christmas village putting on the Nativity had my eye -it's called "we wish you a merry Christmas" and it's a big one - 354x190! Is it safe to assume that the catherine theron chart for the irish blessing was a class exclusive? my heritage is irish and i'm looking for the perfect sampler! happy new year! terri
Thank You Terri!! I am always watching Flosstube when I am stitching and I place my needle and then look up and I miss what they showed!!! LOL So I am glad I am holding them up long enough :) I so love Sara Guermani designs. That Christmas village one is on my wishlist as well!! I believe Irish Blessings is a class exclusive piece, but she has published some of her designs under "Theron Traditions", so you could always look for it :)
Wow, what an amazing WIP parade. You have such a variety of projects and I love every one of them. Thank you for taking the time to go over each one with such detail. Looking forward to watching your progress through the year.
Thank you for your video. Wow, that was epic!!! I'd forgotten a few of them, so that was so much fun to see them all again. Beautiful projects. Take care and happy stitching!
You are soooo talented! I love all the crafts as well and have done tatting, crocheting, knitting, diamond painting, quilting, swedish weaving, etc LOL But I always come back to cross stitch and now spend almost all my time doing that. Maybe when I retire I can get back to the others :)
Thank you so much for your videos! They are so informative and interesting! Just getting back into stitching after 25 plus years and oh, has it changed! Getting my feet wet with some smaller pieces but I’ve had my eye on Serenity Harbor for down the road. Would love to know what color changes you made from the called for colors. I love the way you did the water! All of your pieces are beautiful and so inspiring! Thank you again!
Hello!!! So glad you are finding cross stitching again! Yes, I agree, it has changed soooo much! If you email me at AdnerbYakJ@gmail.com I will send you a picture of my floss changes on Serenity Harbor :)
My favorite is the books and especially the part with the gate. So many projects. You must have lots of time. I'm retired so I have lots of time, I LOVE IT!!!
I had so much fun watching your WIP parade! I was trying to stitch but kept messing up because I was too busy watching!! 😂. Your projects are all so lovely and you do such beautiful work! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
You are very organized! Love your list as it makes sense to me. I'm just starting to get organized project-wise as I just finished chemo. I'm looking forward to stitching again! Thanks for sharing! What I liked best was the comment, could have this done in 4 years! I began to rethink my many projects and put a more reasonable time frame on them even years out! Thanks!
Thank You!!! And so happy to hear you finished chemo!!!!! Stitching is a wonderful thing to bring joy :) I sometimes think I enjoy organizing it as much as I do stitching it, lol!
Brenda I sure have enjoyed both videos. Just in awe of your beautiful stitching. Always love to see what you are working in or finishes. Thanks for sharing.
Wow I would love to know what dinky dye you used for the by the bay harbor piece!! Would also love to see a closer pic of the water puddles- that’s amazing! I’d love to stitch it similarly if you’re okay with me sharing your idea!
Hi Michelle! I am using Dinky Dyes "Gum Leaves" and Dinky Dyes "Ocean Pines" for the water on my Serenity Harbor piece. If you email me at AdnerbYakJ.gmail.com I could send you a close up pic of the water :) I got the idea of doing the water that way from one of the stitchers on the original Facebook Group for the Serenity Harbor SAL several years ago :)
I watched both of your videos and I am totally amazed at how many finishes and WIPs that you have completed and/or that you are working on for 2024. I can only imagine how many you will finish once you get to retire this year. I really enjoyed your videos with all of the variety in projects that you have. It is nice to see ones that are not all the same as what others are working on. They are all so beautiful. Happy stitching……………….
Enjoy your long floss tube. Not feeling well today and appreciate the WIP parade. Totally agree with your Soap box. There is so much negativity in the world why do people make negative comments.. It isn't anyone's business on the amount of projects a person has, that's between you and your husband. I enjoy seeing everything and want to stitch it all. It's neat to see the types/color of fabric and floss changes and the world of charts. I don't have a local shop and can only purchase online. I have only been stitching since August 2023 and I am nearly 58 years old....loving it. I always wanted to learn how to cross stitch. I asked how many projects you have only to follow your rotation progress on certain charts.
Thank You Linda! And I'm so sorry you are not feeling well! So happy you found cross stitch and Flosstube!!! I am 58 as well :) The amazing variety available online now, is so nice. Especially when you don't have a store nearby. I have 51 projects currently :)
Fantastic and super enabling wip parade! I've added a few things to my wish list😊. That Paris floss is gorgeous on the GiGi letters! Have a great stitchy month.
You can see and hear in your voice and expression your love of your stitching! Your Kingdom of books is exquisite! Do you chart the titles of the books first and stitch it first before you fill in each book? Thank you.
Thank You Barbara!!! I do love it so much, I am glad it comes through :) Yes, I pull out some graph paper and draw a square on it that is the same size as the space for the title on the book. Then I sketch the words and erase and edit until it fits nicely. Then I stitch :)
@@Handworkmaniac Thank you! I have the kit also and bought 18 ct fabric so that I can just use 2 strands of floss. I do hope that leaves enough to complete the whole project.
What !! Your done already, you can’t be , I’m not done with my flower. Maniac is right, you are so organized and are the best stitcher! Thank you for spending so much time showing us ALL your stitching. I feel terrible about taking you away from your stitching. I appreciate it. Your the best ! Happy New Years
LOL!!!! Don't you hate it when someone else finishes before you do!! And I'm so glad you feel bad about taking me away from my stitching, giggle. I was feeling very deprived that day after 5 hours of filming, lol!! Happy New Years!!!
I absolutely enjoyed your last two episodes! You have an amazing, eclectic assortment of pieces. I can’t wait to see your progress throughout the year. You really do inspire me to stitch different pieces out of my comfort zone. I am going to look for chicken and potatoes for my next project.
Wow wow!! The choice of projects is incredible - what a lot of fun!! Best of all though are your hugely ambitious plans Brenda - I can hardly believe what you manage to achieve!! Love it ;)
I also picked up the Stoneycreek afghan pattern and fabric because of you and the ladies you mentioned. 😊I saw their video first and it slipped my mind until I was sitting here watching your video! I paused and went to purchase it immediately! Thank you!
Happy New Year, Brenda!!! I've been waiting for this video update. I love all your projects and looking forward to your 2024 progress and finishes. I will live my stitchy life vicariously through you. LOL -Aubrey
Thank you for the wip parade, I love your work, but I must say better you than me. I would not know what to do with all of your projects. I would be overwhelmed by them, but they sure are beautiful.
I am so impressed with all your projects. Amazing really. If I get three projects done in a year I am pleased with myself. I love your channel. Thanks for posting. And happy New Year and blessings to you and your family and pets. The Elsa Williams kit is going to be so beautiful when you finish it. Please keep us updated on your progress.😊
Бренда, доброго времени суток! Смотрю ваши видео давно, всегда восхищаюсь вашим творчеством. Приятно, что вы вышиваете наборы из России. Это прекрасно! Спасибо за вдохновение❤❤❤!!! Ваша почитательница из России😊.
Thanks for reminding me of the DMC variegated threads....not only are they pretty....but it's an affordable way to get the hand dyed effect. The afghan is gorgeous!!! I'm just wondering how the back is protected when finished? Is there a special way to finish off the threads? Also.....what is that little pillow over your right shoulder....looks like skaters on a pond? I've been meaning to stich ONE Praiseworthy Stitches for awhile now....looks like you talked me into Joy To The World! 🙂 I truly enjoy your flosstubes.... a variety of designs and so much prgress on each piece! Beautiful! 🙂
I love those DMC variegated threads! The back of the afghan is not finished specially, I just try to be careful with hiding my threads on the back. On the edge you sew a seam several inches in from the edge and then pull all the horizontal threads to create a fringe :) That little pillow with skaters on it is "Let It Snow" by Stitchrovia :) It turned out so cute :) Yay!! Joy To the World is gorgeous!! Good choice :)
I loved your WIP parade, it's so fun seeing how they change year to year! Would you like please sharing exactly what air erasable marker you use to grid your fabric? It sounds like a brilliant idea!
Brenda I’m pretty sure you are the most prolific stitcher on Flosstube!!! Wow, just wow! May I ask how many hours a day you stitch? I feel like I stitch a fair bit but my progress is a pittance in comparison 😆😆Just curious! Thank you Marissa from 🇨🇦
Thank You Marissa!! On a week day I usually get about 4-5 hours between work and bedtime. On Saturdays I may get 8-10 hrs, and on Sunday maybe 6? And then vacation days off work are like Saturdays, lol. I will choose stitching over any other social activity and my husband is quite busy with two jobs and is very understanding of my passion, lol. My whole goal in life is to get all my other responsibilities done as efficiently as possible so I have more time to stitch!!!! It is my happy place, and where I find peace :)
Brenda, I do so look forward to your videos! I think Pam from Pam and Steph said it for me also: I want to do everything you do. 😁 Happy and healthy new year to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing all your WIPs. Love your range of designs, floss, and fabrics. I usually stitch on 40 ct…would Sulky 12 wt or Silk4U work on that or be too heavy? Can’t wait to see how your stitching plans work out☺
Thank You Connie!! I have used Silks4U on 40ct and 46ct and it is gorgeous. My "The New Normal" piece was Sulky 12 wt on 40 ct and I thought it looked great. Some people think it is too crowded on 40ct. Also, mine was on 40ct Antique White, so it was a true 40ct. Usually the fabric shrinks a little if it is overdyed and would make it closer to an actual 43-44ct. Which probably would be too small for Sulky 12wt.
I´ve not finished watching, but I already love how many different kind of projects you have! And I watched you doing "Pandemic" in this gorgeous colors so long now I copied your idea entirely und ordered the same threads for my Longdog Sampler. Since I´m from Germany it wasn´t expensive at all. I just loved the look so much and the idea of doing all the animals in a different color. Thanks for all the inspiration and for showing your wonderful work!
Thank You!!! And I am so glad you like my colors and are also using them!!!!! And so happy you are close to the makers of Sulky and can get them inexpensively, yay!!! So nice to find lovely materials that are not expensive. I bet your piece is gorgeous!!!
Love everything, Brenda! I love how you stitch so many of a different genre. It's amazing. If you get a chance, can you move your microphone closer to you? I had my volume at max and it was a bit hard to hear. Look forward to seeing you the end of January. Happy New Year!
Thank You Tammy, and Happy New Year!!! I will definitely do that, it is so frustrating when you can't hear what the flosstuber is saying :) I think I was getting tired, and my throat was getting more and more sore, lol.
Wow,you have a lot of wips,and so many big ones.You also have a great assortment of bags,do you make all your own bags as well.All your wips and bags are beautiful.
Thank You Kathi!! I do seem to like big projects, lol! I have made a few of my bags, some were made for me by family or friends. And most of them I have purchased over the years from many different makers. I do enjoy them :)
I’ve been waiting for a video from you! Sorry you were sick. I think of everything you get done and am trying to imagine what you will do when you retire!
Hi Brenda - I would very much like to know which Dinky Dyes threads you used for the water in Serenity Harbor. It's my New Year, New Beast start this year (once I get the right count & size of fabric!! I've ordered it 3 times now). I do love the water "puddles" you stitched. Also, Stitch New England shop had the full 12 pattern kit for Serenity Harbor if anyone is looking for it :)
Hi Melanie!!! Most of the water in mine is stitched with Dinky Dyes "Gum Leaves", and the darker parts around the edge are stitched in Dinky Dyes "ocean pines". Yay!! So excited you get to start it, and thanks for the tip on where people can buy it!!!
Happy New Year! I have enjoyed watching you complete all your projects over the last few years. Has it really been that long!? I recently received Kingdom of Books kit and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to share the English translation of the books? I had thought about leaving the titles off but since you have the translation I would add them. I'm going to stitch my project on 18 count aida that is motled with grey. It reminds me of clouds. I live in Alaska so we see lots of clouds. Thank you for providing content. Your stitching is inspirational to me. 🎉😊
Thank You Christy!!! I think a mottled gray would be fabulous for Kingdom of Books!!! Just email me at AdnerbYakJ@gmail.com and I will send you the translation document :)
I think you are an amazing stitcher... but Kingdom of Books is mostly my favourite at the moment... beauty! Can't imagine what will happen when you are retired... holy smoke!
Where is stitch west? Can you also tell me when it is held? I would love to attend a retreat. Wow! I am impressed with all your WIPS they are beautiful.
Thank You!! StitchWest is held in Salt Lake City and is hosted by Snug Harbor Crafts on RUclips. You will need to watch their channel to keep updated on when the signups open up :)
I did chuckle in awe when you brought out the 2nd Jim Shore afgan! Oh my! I’m still working on the Stitchers Shelf you inspired me to start almost 4 years ago! Do I dare to start an afgan? I’ll be watching your progress!! I could alternate on my Friday full coverage day?! Love, love all you do! 💕
You have so many gorgeous wips ! That first Christmas afghan you showed was amazing. And I love the book one with Russian titles that you had translated into English. I was gifted the pattern but haven’t started it yet I may just have to start it this year after seeing yours. Happy New Year!
Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful projects! You have such a great variety of styles and it’s so fun!
Thank You Susan!
It is always a joy to see your wips.. sooo many good ones and your stitches and organization are just to wonderful!
Thank You!!!
I love your work, great patterns, amazing stitches ❤
Thank You Angela!
Thank you for giving us two videos to start the year with. 😊
You are welcome! LOL!! It took an entire day, lol!
I just love these progress videos. It’s so fun to see the WIPs come to life the more you get stitched! Thank you 😊
Thank You Michelle! I LOVE watching all the WIP parades this time of year :)
I love watching a stitcher who loves her projects. I loved everything too!
Thank You Debra!! I do love every one of them, and I am glad it shows :) Stitching is my happy place.
Wow! No one does a parade like you! Maniac indeed! 😂. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank You!! You made me smile :)
Hi Brenda, thanks so much for sharing all your beautiful patterns! Such eye candy! Looking forward to following your progress on them. Happy New Year and Happy Stitching! Lori
Thank You Lori!!!!!
Just loved seeing all your gorgeous stitches! Your fabric and floss conversions are always a treat to see. I just love your sense of color and determination in choosing such large projects!
Thank You Susan!!! I do seem to be drawn to the great big ones!!! LOL
Such a pleasure to watch your videos. So excited for your soon retirement. You'll probably be stitching -life size- max color projects then! Everything you stitch is just beautiful.
Laughing hard!!!! I can't wait to see what calls to me when I am not spending so much energy on work every day :)
So much fun to watch all your beautiful stitching!
Thank You Ruth!!
Love the variety of stitching you do!! All beautiful!!
Thank You Joanne!
Thank you for doing a wip parade. Love your stitching and projects. Can't wait to see what you get up to this year.
Thank You Diane!! It should be an exciting year :)
Love your progress on your beautiful wips. Happy stitching!
Thank You Karin!

Thank You Kristina!! Such nice words, you made my day :)
Thank you for taking the time to show us your 2023end of year WIP parade!!! Lovely stitching as always.
Thank You Betty!
I'm so inspired by you. I love your choice of patterns and how you actually finish your WIPs.
I retired in 2015 and spend a lot of time indulging in my three hobbies: reading, crocheting, and my favorite, cross stitching. I look forward to spending time watching your videos.
Thank You Mildred!!! I also love to read and crochet. So glad you get to spend a lot of time with your hobbies now!!!
Happy New Year! I love watching you! Love your calming effect.
Thank You, that means a lot to me :)
Your book pattern/kit looks awesome. I love your four seasons piece. I love all your WIPs. I love Serenity Harbor. Stunning.
Thank You Linda!!! I can't wait to put more time on those three pieces :)
I am overwhelmed with just 12 wips!!
Twelve is a lot! Do the amount that makes you happy :)
You truly have amazing projects-your stitching is exquisite! I particularly love Serenity Harbor-would love to know the colors for your conversion for the water-it really stands out!
Thank You!! I am using Dinky Dyes "Gum Leaves" and Dinky Dyes "Ocean Pines" for the water on my Serenity Harbor piece :)
Thank you so much for adding the count of fabric and how many threads you are working over, I really do appreciate the time you spend showing your projects

Thank You!!!
I am sitting here watching you, and working on my Christmas Village Afghan!! I also am doing the Halloween Afghan I am loving your wip parade
Loved seeing all your beautiful projects. You always have such a gorgeous variety of projects and have enabled me to buy a few that I've never seen before. I will enjoy watching your progress.
Thank You Sarah!!

Thank You Christine!!
Great video! I love your projects and you have enabled me.
Thank You Laura! So sorry for the enabling, lol!!
I knit, quilt, counted cross stitch and diamond painting. I have done tatting, crocheting too. Don’t get enough done in counted cross stitch.
You are soooo talented! I love all the crafts as well and have done tatting, crocheting, knitting, diamond painting, quilting, swedish weaving, etc LOL But I always come back to cross stitch and now spend almost all my time doing that. Maybe when I retire I can get back to the others :)
Happy New Year Brenda! So much beautiful stitching.

Incredible whip parade ❤❤❤. Very inspiring ❤❤❤

Happy New Year, Brenda!!! I've been waiting for this video update. I love all your projects and looking forward to your 2024 progress and finishes. I will live my stitchy life vicariously through you. LOL -Aubrey
Thank You Aubrey!!!
Nice seeing all your finishes in the last video and WIPs in this one Brenda! Plans sound good for the year too!
Thank You!!
Thank you for the wip parade, I love your work, but I must say better you than me. I would not know what to do with all of your projects. I would be overwhelmed by them, but they sure are beautiful.
Thank You!!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful as always, Brenda! Thank you for sharing your amazing work with the world ❤️.
Thank You!!
I am so impressed with all your projects. Amazing really.
If I get three projects done in a year I am pleased with myself. I love your channel. Thanks for posting. And happy New Year and blessings to you and your family and pets.
The Elsa Williams kit is going to be so beautiful when you finish it. Please keep us updated on your progress.😊
Thank You Donna! And a Happy New Year to you as well. I will definitely keep you updated on Spring Creek :)
Your work is so perfect and beautiful.
Thank You :)
Бренда, доброго времени суток! Смотрю ваши видео давно, всегда восхищаюсь вашим творчеством. Приятно, что вы вышиваете наборы из России. Это прекрасно! Спасибо за вдохновение❤❤❤!!! Ваша почитательница из России😊.
Thank You Anna!!! I love kits from Russia :) They are so fun to stitch, and such beautiful colors!
What a GREAT video! Such beautiful work, Brenda! Happy 2024!
Thank You Cathy! Happy New Year!
Hopefully you display your gorgeous finished pieces.
Yes I do, but my goal this year is to get more of them up throughout the house :)
Thanks for reminding me of the DMC variegated threads....not only are they pretty....but it's an affordable way to get the hand dyed effect.
The afghan is gorgeous!!! I'm just wondering how the back is protected when finished? Is there a special way to finish off the threads?
Also.....what is that little pillow over your right shoulder....looks like skaters on a pond?
I've been meaning to stich ONE Praiseworthy Stitches for awhile now....looks like you talked me into Joy To The World! 🙂
I truly enjoy your flosstubes.... a variety of designs and so much prgress on each piece! Beautiful! 🙂
I love those DMC variegated threads!
The back of the afghan is not finished specially, I just try to be careful with hiding my threads on the back. On the edge you sew a seam several inches in from the edge and then pull all the horizontal threads to create a fringe :)
That little pillow with skaters on it is "Let It Snow" by Stitchrovia :) It turned out so cute :)
Yay!! Joy To the World is gorgeous!! Good choice :)
Always an absolute joy to catch up with you Brenda. You have the perfect collection of projects!
Thank You Alison!!
I loved your WIP parade, it's so fun seeing how they change year to year! Would you like please sharing exactly what air erasable marker you use to grid your fabric? It sounds like a brilliant idea!
Thank You!!! Yes, I use a Dritz fine line air soluble marking pen :) a.co/d/ag1RACY
@@Handworkmaniac thank you so much!!!
thank you so much for all your wonderful videos and sharing your beautiful embroidery with us🧵🪡❤️🙏💕🤗 warm regards and hugs from Switzerland 🇨🇭🍫❤️🤗💕
Thank You Alexandra!!! I visited Switzerland many years ago, it is such a gorgeous place :)
Such a fantastic variety of projects - really looking forward to seeing your progress in 2024
Thank You!!!
I LUV LUV serenity harbor!! I would love to have ur color conversion!! U r SO talented😮
Thank You!!! It is quite a few colors. If you could email me at AdnerbYakJ@gmail.com I could send it to you :)
R-Kade and Pandemic look great!!!
Thank You Jenny!!!!!!!
So many beautiful WIPs! Like your 2024 plans!
Thank You Dee!
Brenda I’m pretty sure you are the most prolific stitcher on Flosstube!!! Wow, just wow! May I ask how many hours a day you stitch? I feel like I stitch a fair bit but my progress is a pittance in comparison 😆😆Just curious! Thank you
Marissa from 🇨🇦
Thank You Marissa!! On a week day I usually get about 4-5 hours between work and bedtime. On Saturdays I may get 8-10 hrs, and on Sunday maybe 6? And then vacation days off work are like Saturdays, lol. I will choose stitching over any other social activity and my husband is quite busy with two jobs and is very understanding of my passion, lol. My whole goal in life is to get all my other responsibilities done as efficiently as possible so I have more time to stitch!!!! It is my happy place, and where I find peace :)
Well it is quite amazing and a joy to follow your progress! Always looking forward to seeing your videos⭐️⭐️⭐️Happy New Year and Happy Stitching☺️☺️☺️
I just love your videos! You have so many beautiful finishes and WIPS.
Thank You Diane!
Brenda, I do so look forward to your videos! I think Pam from Pam and Steph said it for me also: I want to do everything you do. 😁 Happy and healthy new year to you and your family.
Thank You Beth! So glad to hear from another stitcher with the same taste!! LOL I feel the same way about Pam :)
Thank you for sharing all your WIPs. Love your range of designs, floss, and fabrics. I usually stitch on 40 ct…would Sulky 12 wt or Silk4U work on that or be too heavy? Can’t wait to see how your stitching plans work out☺
Thank You Connie!! I have used Silks4U on 40ct and 46ct and it is gorgeous. My "The New Normal" piece was Sulky 12 wt on 40 ct and I thought it looked great. Some people think it is too crowded on 40ct. Also, mine was on 40ct Antique White, so it was a true 40ct. Usually the fabric shrinks a little if it is overdyed and would make it closer to an actual 43-44ct. Which probably would be too small for Sulky 12wt.
I´ve not finished watching, but I already love how many different kind of projects you have! And I watched you doing "Pandemic" in this gorgeous colors so long now I copied your idea entirely und ordered the same threads for my Longdog Sampler. Since I´m from Germany it wasn´t expensive at all. I just loved the look so much and the idea of doing all the animals in a different color. Thanks for all the inspiration and for showing your wonderful work!
Thank You!!! And I am so glad you like my colors and are also using them!!!!! And so happy you are close to the makers of Sulky and can get them inexpensively, yay!!! So nice to find lovely materials that are not expensive. I bet your piece is gorgeous!!!
I love and want to stitch almost all your WIP's ❤ and I love watchind yours flosstubes❤.
Thank You! So glad to meet another stitcher with the same taste!
Thx for sharing!
You are very welcome :)
Love everything, Brenda! I love how you stitch so many of a different genre. It's amazing. If you get a chance, can you move your microphone closer to you? I had my volume at max and it was a bit hard to hear. Look forward to seeing you the end of January. Happy New Year!
Thank You Tammy, and Happy New Year!!! I will definitely do that, it is so frustrating when you can't hear what the flosstuber is saying :) I think I was getting tired, and my throat was getting more and more sore, lol.
Wow,you have a lot of wips,and so many big ones.You also have a great assortment of bags,do you make all your own bags as well.All your wips and bags are beautiful.
Thank You Kathi!! I do seem to like big projects, lol! I have made a few of my bags, some were made for me by family or friends. And most of them I have purchased over the years from many different makers. I do enjoy them :)
As always, wonderful video. Just thinking how your plans nay change once you retire. Have fun stitching and can't wait for your next video.
Thank You Jane! Yes, I keep thinking that too, lol. I may have to do my plans all over again in June!
I’ve been waiting for a video from you! Sorry you were sick. I think of everything you get done and am trying to imagine what you will do when you retire!
Thank You Julie! I am feeling much better this week :) I can't wait to see what stitching looks like when I retire!!! LOL
You projects are beautiful!
Thank You Katie!
Hi Brenda - I would very much like to know which Dinky Dyes threads you used for the water in Serenity Harbor. It's my New Year, New Beast start this year (once I get the right count & size of fabric!! I've ordered it 3 times now). I do love the water "puddles" you stitched. Also, Stitch New England shop had the full 12 pattern kit for Serenity Harbor if anyone is looking for it :)
Hi Melanie!!! Most of the water in mine is stitched with Dinky Dyes "Gum Leaves", and the darker parts around the edge are stitched in Dinky Dyes "ocean pines". Yay!! So excited you get to start it, and thanks for the tip on where people can buy it!!!
Ohhhhh, I want to start the Halloween so bad!! But I keep thinking I should finish one of the other ones first!!
Beautiful pieces, Brenda!! 🎉😊❤
Thank You Cathy!!! Miss stitching with you :)
Great video Brenda! Per usual! I hope to see you at the Stitching on the River retreat in July!
Thank You Cheryl!!! I am working on getting there!!!!
@@Handworkmaniac how exciting!
I am signed up finally!!
@@Handworkmaniac I saw that! Yay! I’m so excited! It will be fun times.
Happy New Year! I have enjoyed watching you complete all your projects over the last few years. Has it really been that long!? I recently received Kingdom of Books kit and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to share the English translation of the books? I had thought about leaving the titles off but since you have the translation I would add them. I'm going to stitch my project on 18 count aida that is motled with grey. It reminds me of clouds. I live in Alaska so we see lots of clouds. Thank you for providing content. Your stitching is inspirational to me. 🎉😊
Thank You Christy!!! I think a mottled gray would be fabulous for Kingdom of Books!!! Just email me at AdnerbYakJ@gmail.com and I will send you the translation document :)
Happy New Year! WOW!
Thank You Paulette!
I so enjoyed all your stitching's. Your Pandemic color choice are just amazing 🥰
Thank You!!! I love that project :)
I'm overwhelmed with 2 whips! How do you have time for anything but stitching?
I think you are an amazing stitcher... but Kingdom of Books is mostly my favourite at the moment... beauty! Can't imagine what will happen when you are retired... holy smoke!
Thank You Dawn!! I can't wait to find out!!! LOL
Where is stitch west? Can you also tell me when it is held? I would love to attend a retreat.
Wow! I am impressed with all your WIPS they are beautiful.
Thank You!! StitchWest is held in Salt Lake City and is hosted by Snug Harbor Crafts on RUclips. You will need to watch their channel to keep updated on when the signups open up :)
I did chuckle in awe when you brought out the 2nd Jim Shore afgan! Oh my! I’m still working on the Stitchers Shelf you inspired me to start almost 4 years ago! Do I dare to start an afgan? I’ll be watching your progress!! I could alternate on my Friday full coverage day?! Love, love all you do! 💕
Hi Susan!!! My husband does remind me regularly that I am crazy, lol!!! Sure, alternating on Fridays sounds totally reasonable to me! LOL
Such A beautiful wipparade. I love your projects. You give me always inspiration. Thanks
Thank You Christel!
Qué bonito todo lo que haces. Me encanta. Feliz Año 😊
Thank You Begona!! And Happy New Year to you as well :)
You have so many gorgeous wips ! That first Christmas afghan you showed was amazing. And I love the book one with Russian titles that you had translated into English. I was gifted the pattern but haven’t started it yet I may just have to start it this year after seeing yours. Happy New Year!
Thank You Joanne! And yes, you should start it!!! I am still loving it :)
Thank you for sharing your projects! Where did you find 46 ct. Prehistoric by Fox and Rabbit?
Hi Lisa! I bought it from 123stitch.com back in October or November :)
