Thanks for keeping me company while I stitched. ❤❤
You are so welcome!💗💗💗
Congrats on the birth of your son! I am not a knitter (I cross stitch and quilt mostly) but I love watching what you make. I keep telling myself I don’t need another craft but I feel like it’s inevitable 😂
Haha thank you for watching! Knitting is so much fun 🤩.
It is such a treat to see your beautiful face and soul. This community is BEYOND amazing and I love it so much! Get better quick, and as always your work is inspiring! See you again soon! And it’s been 2 years?? Feels like it was yesterday that I was watching your first video right after you uploaded it!!
Thank you so much ☺️!! I really need to plan some kind of get together at thread needle street or something so all the local
People can shop together haha. That would be so fun!
Hooray for sharing your xs with all of us for 2 years now!! I’m so happy a generous soul gifted their kit to you! I remember you sharing that for the first time and you were SO excited talking about it! Happy you get to continue. I heard on one of your friends flosstube about them finishing your round robin….i also cried. No video lol
I literally couldn’t believe they finished it for me! 🥲😭 they are the absolute best and I love them all so so much. Can’t believe I met my girls through RUclips of all places haha.
Thank you for the update. Agreed completely of the border of your Quaker piece.
Love the update on your (soon to be grown baby).
Thank you! ☺️
Lovely stitches, as always.
The eye thing is true. When I had my son 41 years ago, I had never worn glasses. When I returned to work, my vision was blurry. I went to an ophthalmologist and when I mentioned I had just had a baby, he went on and on how sometimes your vision really messes up for a while, and it would return to normal in time. Of course he said it in medical jargon, but that was the gist. Just be patient and enjoy your 32 ct. for the time being.
Enjoy your babies. The time passes so quickly. As I said, my baby is 41.
Hi Megan
That is so fantastic that your group of friends finished your stitched piece for you. Wow. This is so pretty too.
Love your WIPS - you are making great progress on them. They are so very pretty.
Love your Knitting Megan. That Blue Hat is so pretty. The Sweater you are making is so pretty. I love the Color.
I am doing well - My arm still hurts - shoulder does too but it is getting better.
I will be making a Floss Tube Video tomorrow - Monday the 8th.
Take Care & Happy Stitching - Knitting
❤️🤗🙏🧵❤️
I’m so glad you’re feeling better! Hope your recovery continues to go well 🤍🤍🤍. Can’t wait to watch your video 😁😁
@@TheSeattleStitcher - Thank You Megan ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧶❤️
I have Strawberry Fields Forever too. I want to start it as well. All the fabrics would be beautiful. Thank you for sharing all the fabrics. Your knitting is amazing! Hope you all are feeling better. So happy your son is doing well💕🙏🏻
Thank you! We are so grateful he’s healthy! He’s gained back all his birth weight and then some which is great and he’s doing a bit better sleeping at night. Wakes up 2-3times but that’s not all that bad lol. The strawberry fields forever is SO pretty! I can’t wait to start it.
My eyes changed in my first trimester with my last baby. It was so bad I had to get new glasses. I hoped they would go back after I had her, but my eyes got a little bit worse. I am older than you (I was 37 when I was pregnant with her), but yes, it's another thing people don't talk about a lot with pregnancy and birth. I got transition glasses for less than $100 on Zenni without insurance, when the shop quoted me 300 with insurance. I hope your eyes go back on their own, but if they don't, getting new glasses was a total gamechanger for me.
❤🌎
I love Zenni! Definitely will order from them again. I swear my eyes have never been worse even close up vision is just not as good as it was before. Really hoping my vision somewhat returns to normal even though normal with me is still bad eyes LOL.
Oh Alexis’ Round Robin looks so good!!! 😍😍😍 ooh and your finished sampler too
Isn’t it SO pretty! Her floss is amazing 😻
Omg! They finished your project!❤❤❤❤❤
I couldn’t believe it. 😭
Thanks for sharing. You’ve done so much, especially with all you’ve had going on. Thank you for sharing baby gurgles too. It’s just the cutest sound 🥰. I’ve been around from pretty much the beginning but I don’t always have time to comment and I recently changed my name to be more stitchy!
Omg since the beginning thank you so much for spending you precious time with me! I appreciate you. Malakai really had a lot to say this time around LOL. Thanks for understanding I can’t prevent the background noice. He’s a tough crowd 😆😉🤣.
Hi Megan! Thanks for another great video! I love following along with your stitching and your knitting and your family. I lurk more than I comment but think I found your channel when you were 3 or 4 videos in so I’ve loved seeing all your progress!
Omg that’s so long thank you so much for spending your time with me. Time is so valuable and I can’t believe anyone would want to spend it with me so I always feel honored to hear it 🥹🤍🤍 thank you.
Love all the stitching. You can use the "old"' trick & treat piece as a pincushion or needlecard. Many projects are now pincushions. LOL.
lol good idea instead of throwing it away 😂 I am not gonna lie I hate sewing though 🤫 😆.
What lovely gifts! ❤
Hi Megan, thankyou for sharing your stitching with us! You're such a sweet upbeat person 💛. I know the sleep deprivation is brutal, but you are so positive and you look so great! You and your friends and so carring and supportive of each other how wonderful you connected with each other. Hugs to you. Margie
Thank you so much for being so nice! I had a couple people comment or send me messages telling me how I still look tired and I know I do but I didn’t want to hear it LOL. 🥲😅
Bless your heart for taking the time to show us your beautiful projects. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy!
Thank you so much for spending time with me!
It’s so exciting to find a somewhat “local” cross stitcher. I live just under two hours north of Seattle by the Canadian border. I love your videos!
Ahhhh! Go neighbor haha. I’m south of Seattle but hey maybe some day I’ll catch you at thread needle street.
@@TheSeattleStitcher I was half asleep when I read your comment and my first read through I thought it said go away neighbor 😂 I had to read it a second time. That was also at 5 am lol I am not a morning person.
@@brookerule93 LOL! I think I was up late nursing because I don’t even remember saying go neighbor. LMAO wtf was I trying to say 🤣🤣🤣. We both need to put our phones away apparently. I think I typed like hey neighbor but clicked the G and it autofilled to go. 💀🤣
I love seeing all your stitching and knitting. 🌻🪡🌻
Thank you! 😇
I’m about 75% through Strawberry Fields, I prefer it on the darker fabric you showed 2nd. A friend of mine (oddly also called Megan) did hers 1 over 1 on 28ct! It came out the size of an iPhone LOL - take care, Nic x
Omg!!! That would be so cute lol thanks for the suggestion on the fabrics too. 🥰🥰
Congrats on two years! I think I've been watching the whole time, kinda can't believe it's been that long already!! I just started a piece on Lapin Loops Small Potatoes, it's a really nice neutral and I'm enjoying it a lot. I don't know if they are a new dyer or not but I feel like I just started seeing them around a lot.
Eeeee 😁😄 thank you so much for watching and spending time with me. I have never seen them till this years market and wow! what pretty fabrics. A few other people commented about the small potatoes and now I feel like I need to snag some up because it has to be great.
You are such an amazing person and it always makes me so happy to see everything you have been working on! That haul of fabric from Hollis Hands is stunning! I love that we can make new friends with a craft that we enjoy so much! You have made some really great ones for sure! I just watched Crow River and loved her as well; excited to see her 2nd FT very soon! All your knitting is so beautiful! You are very inspiring for sure! Happy that all is going well with you and your family! Enjoy all your time with your new little one and your daughter! they do certainly grow up way too quickly! Until next time, take good care and stitch and knit what you love!
I hope you’re doing well, Patricia! And that you had a nice Easter if you celebrate. Thank you for being so kind to me. I’m lucky to have met you through this community.
I am loving the crow river stitcher. Isn’t she just fabulous and her stitching is gorgeous I’d have never guessed she is a new stitcher. She gets so much done too everything looks amazing.
Time is flying but I’m loving every minute 💗💗💗
Hello, I was so happy to see your first video after the baby. I was so worried and hoping that everything was fine. Like, I told the Museum Stitcher (I don’t want to misspell her first name) l listen to you guys on my work commute. I consider you girls my pretend cross stitch nieces!
💗💗💗 thank you so much for spending time with both Brijin and I! Malaki is doing amazing he is growing every day and we are just so blessed. 🥹 thank you for thinking of me.
Hi Megan! Congrats on the baby. New subscriber here. I love your personality and stitching taste. I stitch as well as knit, crochet, hand embroidery, and am just getting into quilting. So thrilled to have found you!
Thank you so much for spending time with me! Your hobbies all sound SO fun.
Congratulations on two years as a stitcher and flosstuber! I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning and I love your positive vibes. Congratulations on your new baby! You have a beautiful family!
I always recognize you! Thank you for not only spending all that time with me but for leaving such nice supportive comments. I really appreciate you and this community because of people that are like you. I hope I can keep doing videos even as Malakai gets a bit older. It’s easy now with Amira in school but now I have to re figure out filming while a kid naps lol! 😆 ❤️
Hello sweetie,
I just caught your latest video. I’m just catching up with videos as life has been crazy. First of all, you look radiant and I can tell you’re very happy. I know God answers prayers and you’re living proof. I’m so happy that you are doing well and that your little angel is already a month old!!! OMG that’s just so incredibly wonderful. I will continue to keep you and your family in my
Prayers and if there is anything you need, please reach out. I’m here!!! May God bless you and yours, Gisela
Thank you so much, Gisela. Hope you had a great Easter. God is good. Your kindness truly amazes me. Thank you for blessing my family with your prayers. You’re wonderful. 🥹💗💗
Wuuutttt!!! Thank you for the shout out! We def need to go hang out and play at Denise’s. She is an icon. I’ve also been watching The Crow River Stitcher too, she is so fun. Love all your plans, can’t wait for all these big girls to take shape!
Of course! I hope you guys keep filming the girls and I have been watching and we love y’all! The crow river has me absolutely gob-smacked with her FFO’s and how she just started stitching. Shes my roll model now lol! I love her.
I’ve been with you since you started!
Omg an OG lol thank you for sticking with me! 💗😁
Hi, hi, hi!!! I missed you!! Okay, I am not going to remember everything I wanted to say if I wait until the end, so I will pause and add comments as I go, if that’s okay…❤
First of all, you look MAH-vellous! (spoken in the Billy Crystal voice 😂) and I can tell you are feeling so much more like yourself again. ☺️ The silk you chose for that gorgeous Atomic Ranch fabric is genius, I love it! Wow…what a wonderful gift from the viewer who sent you her kit…that is touching and beautiful, and I am so glad you can get a fresh start on it. God bless her! And speaking .of gifts, when you talked about the girls finishing your project, I just melted!!! ❣️What fabulous people they are, indeed! Oh, yeah, I also found the Crow River Stitcher, and she is fantastic! Super talented, too, and funny! As for your fabric haul…girl! That is my weakness, but I already have stash beyond my life expectancy! 😅 Your knitting projects are just gorgeous, as usual. And the perfect accent to the video was hearing little Malakai cooing in the background! Happy two year anniversary, dear Megan, from your very first video till now, it’s been a beautiful journey! Here’s to many more to come! Love you, my friend!
Meline
I Meline! I hope you had a wonderful Easter if you celebrate. We had a blast Amira had her own personal Easter egg hunt at my parents and was very spoiled lol. It was great. Thank you, thank you! I definitely got a lot of sleep the night before I filmed this lol. I ended up/ staying up too late last night though and Malakai had me up most the night. Luckily it’s the weekend so Daniel took over and I slept in! I’m really enjoying the crow river stitcher isn’t she great. I too enjoy her humor. I am jealous of your fabric stash lol but I’m working on mine apparently 😂🤍. You know I adore you and am just so grateful this community brought us together love you so much!!! 💗💗💗
-m
@@TheSeattleStitcher Ditto!!! Thank you! I had a beautiful Easter at my mom-in-law’s home, with most of the siblings and their kids…everyone brought a dish and we had a great time🥰 I love that Amira had her own private egg hunt 🐣! As she should! LOL Many thanks to Daniel for giving you some good sleeping time 😴♥️! Hugs to all!!
TY for showing Flowers Feed the Soul. I was able to search Etsy with “sampler flowers feed the soul and it came right up 😊. I’ve bought several Happy Mood Point PDFs and love their designs ❤
it's wonderful that you've found such good friends in the stitching community. What an added and unexpected bonus. Congratulations again on your sweet son. I'm so glad he is doing well.
Thank you! He finally gained back all his birth weight too which is huge progress so he is doing great. I can’t believe he is already 5w old. How does a month pass so fast! Maybe it’s the lack of sleep making it feel like only a week hahaha.
When you’re so tired and the little ones need so much, the days can be exhausting. Time really does rush by though. Treasure it as much as you can-as of course you do.
@@rebeccacattails5804 it really is so exhausting. It’s 1:30 here and I think I’m just now coming to terms with the fact it’s day time LOL. Long night to say the least 😩😅💗
I’ve never heard of Nash knits, thanks for sharing! So cute. I am pretty sure I’ve been here since more or less the beginning, I think???? What is time though when you have little kids 😂
Oh my goodness isn’t that the truth LOL. My concept of time is out the window. Today I had to recall all the dates of doctors appointments for Malakai and I literally could not remember a single one. My days are all a blur 🙃😅.
I’ve been watching you from the beginning and you are still one of my favorite channels on here. The community is truly amazing! I’ve since started my own channel and made so many friends. I’m grateful we all have each other 💗
This community is the best!! 🥹🥰
I worked for a couple eye doctors when I was in college. Pregnancy hormones can mess with your eyesight, but I want to say it gets better at some point postpartum. Go to the dr to see what they say. After all, I was in college a long time ago. lol. Your linens are beautiful.
I have my six week checkup next week so I’m going to bring it up and see if she happens to know timeline wise when it will get better lol.
OMG coincidences. I'm also from the Seattle area, and I'm kitting up a lady and the unicorn from Threadneedle - I'm doing the Sense of Hearing one instead, but that's absolutely wild.
Hahah no way!!! I’m south of Seattle about an hour on a good traffic day lol. What are the chances. I wonder if we have other wips in common!
@@TheSeattleStitcher You've got to be kidding me, I'm in SE King county - not about to say exactly where on a public comment, but pretty close to Threadneedle. Probably not many WIPs in common on the stitching side since I'm just starting into the craft, but we probably have some knitting FOs in common!
@@fionacleary9387 omg same I don’t say exactly where I live online LOL it’s too scary! Ya never know. Do you have an IG! I kinda want to try and link up with a bunch of stitchers maybe a little shopping trip to Denise’s it would be so fun to meet local people.
I am so happy to see you doing well, and doing some stitching. You are making so much progress on things. I am also so glade you have found a community of friends to support you, good friends make all the difference. I have been looking for the doll house pattern for over a year lol, I have a saved search on eBay but I haven’t gotten any notifications, I am using bright needle cross stitch doll house and a couple variations, do you mind me asking what search terms you used? They also had a spooky edition of the pattern called Ezmeralda's House and I have never seen that come up at all. Anyway thanks for all you do and share, I started cross stitching a little over a year ago and found you right away, I love watching you and hope you know how wonderful you are and what a gift you are sharing with all of us.
Hi Casey! I’m so sorry I’m not sure what doll house you’re talking about. I haven’t ever purchased a pattern on eBay or a doll house pattern in general. I wish I was more help. Maybe I just don’t understand the question. Thank you for the support! 💗💗
@@TheSeattleStitcher sorry I thought the bright needle pattern was called the doll house. I am sorry
Megan…..the coral fabric that was gifted is gorgeous to the moon and back……I LOVE the Round-Robin among Besties is a hit with me……Women supporting Women is a gift……Cam is amazing at conversions….oh the baby sweater is way tooo cute….can’t wait to see the ruffle addition…….stop stop the Norwegian sweater is to die for….I have to take a breath here…..Be still my heart… Grandma Sue is Blest…….the Baby -Bloopers are a kick in-a half….I obviously comment on your video as I listen to You and do my handwork along the way…..Megan You My Dear are a GIFT to this community of two years……where does the time go……no wonder people who were at one time-strangers want to shower You with “giftings”……”paying it forward” as an example is a lesson for all of us….let’s do two more years My Dearest…..
I have been having such hard nights with Malakai and your comments always lift my spirits. You’re a treasure. Thank you for being my friend and letting me get to know you over these two years. You’re an amazing woman, Sherry! Truly blessed to have this amazing community 🥲💗💗
Congratulations on hitting your 2 years both as a stitcher and on flosstube. I love seeing all of your work, both stitching and knitting. Just beautiful.
Thank you so much!☺️
Wonderful to see you today, Megan!! So happy for you that the kind viewer sent you the unicorn kit. It’s looking good already!😊 Happy 2-year FlossTube anniversary!
Thank you for watching! 💗💗
i like the 20 ct aida
I am so excited to start something on it. I need to find a big sampler!
I like the brown sugar fabric better.
Yay! Two years! Congratulations! I think I’ve been watching you since the beginning! Wow! You’ve been busy stitching and knitting! I’m so impressed by all you do with a new baby. Thank you for sharing! Happy stitching!
Wow! Since the begging that’s awesome thank you for all the support 🥹🤍❤️. Happy stitching, friend.
I have been watching you for over a year and enjoy everything you do! It’s so sweet to hear about your relationship with your Stitchy friends. The stitching community is the best! Your knitting is STUNNING. I LOVE everything you do. I’m not a knitter, but seeing your work makes me want to learn! Thank you for taking the time to share your talents with us!❤ Emi
Thank you for sticking with me for so long 🥹💗. I hope you learn to knit! It’s such a fun hobby. I know it’s not for everyone but it’ll always be my first love for fiber arts.
I've been watching your flosstube for over a year now 💛 i just love the patterns your stitching too 🌟
Thank you! ☺️
Woohoo! 2 years, you go girl. I remember your first one. You look great for being sleep deprived and a one month old. Your best friends in the cross-stitch community were so nice to finish your round robin Sampler. It is beautiful!! Take care of yourself and rest when you can...
Thank you so much! Last night was my first night of sleep since he was born 😅 I feel like a new woman after a night of sleep LOL.
@@TheSeattleStitcher Awesome, sleep is wonderfully restorative, when you're new mommy. I hope it continues....
Congratulations to two years stitching and being on flosstube! :) Also, I wanted to suggest a pattern for that huge piece of Brown Sugar. Have you seen the Dutch Beauty sampler aka "'n Hollandsche Schone Anno 1790" by Permin? Normally I'm not that into samplers but I absolutely love this one and I think you would too! The original was stitched by a 13 year old girl in 1790! I picked it up about a month ago and started it on a 40 count linen.
Oooo I am off to take a look at it now thank you for the recommendation!
@@TheSeattleStitcher Yay! I hope you like it!
I've ony just found your channel but I love your videos and your projects! Confratulations on the new family member and the 2 year annoversary on Flosstube!
Thank you so much!
❤❤❤
Man… you pick the best linens for your projects! Sorry…I am going to copy-cat your material choices! 🤭 You look amazing and baby boy adorable!! ❤️
Thank you! ☺️ I am honored to be copies haha.
Hello dear~ lovely to see you. Congratulations on your beautiful son and also your Flosstube anniversary. You’re completely rocking it and being totally amazing with a new born in tow and still achieving with your crafting as well. Go girl 💪🦸🏻♀️💞 xx
Thank you so much! 🥰🤍
I like the sand for Strawberry Fields. Congrats on your two years! I am pretty sure I have been watching you most of that time.
Thank you so much for spending your time with me! 💗💗💗
I’ve been watching for probably six to eight months. Love your flosstubes!
Thank you for sticking around 🥹💗💗
So good to see you❤
Great video! The cross stitch community is the BEST!
It really is!
I have been watching for a year now, I really enjoy your videos and you have enabled me with many of my WIPS . Thank you for sharing 😊
😁😁 happy to have enabled. Thank you so much for watching!
Your Flowers Feed the Soul project, oh my goodness it’s gorgeous! Stunning on that blue fabric too 😍
Thank you 🥹🤍
I'm not a knitter but your knitting is stunning!
Thank you! ☺️
Your Quaker project being stitched on the beautiful 40ct fabric - try buying a pair of otc readers for that use. You won’t be investing much money but it might make the stitching more pleasant for you. I agree with the person who advised you to wait a bit before getting an eye exam unless you have to for work. As far as the stitches being visible enough, if you are happy, that’s what counts. Don’t worry about anyone else’s opinion. 😊
I have been using my mag eyes for sure! I am hoping my sight get a bit better in the next few months 😬🤍. I really am loving the blue fabric for the color though it’s so pretty! Just a pain to stitch on.
Congratulations on your two year anniversary !!!!!
Thank you!
🐴🐴🐴
I have not been outside my house in weeks ..really... I will send you the yarn this week that comes promises!!❤❤
Good spring days for you and your family and love to see all your stunning projects , hug Gurli ❤
No rush at all! I hope you’re doing well. We all caught an awful cold but are getting better slowly thank goodness 😅 💗💗
@@TheSeattleStitcher 🌸❤️🌷🌹🦋🦋🦋
😍😍😍
I think I found your channel over the summer, but only recently subscribed because I thought I did then haha.
I had my son the day before Easter, so when your little started to make noises I instantly looked over to mine in his swing thinking it was him. 😂❤.
I hope your recover is going well 💕.
I don’t know if I could ever do a large sampler, as I have a hard enough time doing anything larger than 6”x6” and completing it in a timely manner lol, 😅. It would take a decade or more for me probably.
Omg congratulations! I’m doing good just really tired. How about you? Was he your first?
Honestly I know the huge ones are gonna take me years but I’m okay with it LOL I figure in like 5 years I’m gonna have a ton of finishes 🤣🤣🤣
@@TheSeattleStitcher I’m doing fairly well, I started napping more this week than last haha. He was actually my fourth, second largest at 9lbs 10.5oz but he sleeps just like a tiny newborn would. My others didn’t sleep near as much as he does.
Haha that is so true! I love watching your progress on them. I have about 30 wips from the last two years that I’m hoping to knock several from two years ago out, as well as some from last year. Trying to keep my new starts to a minimum. 😅🫣 I think last year I started 45ish and finished about half. 🙌🏼.
@@thelefthandedcrossstitcher I am so glad you’re getting naps in. It’s seriously so necessary! Malakai is now sick after Amira got us all sick spring break so we are struggling LOL.
You’ll get there for sure! I mean it’s hard when you have little kids to see much progress but honestly a little bit every chance you do get makes such a difference. Just chipping away 😆😅.
@@TheSeattleStitcher aww poor baby and mom! It’s hard when the itty bitties get sick. 💕
You’ve inspired me to get back to work on my Lady and the Unicorn
It’s so good!
The Seattle Stitcher, I love your channel so much, I just had to subscribe!
Thank you! 💗
Having to catch up since having babies. 😅
lol I feel you girl. I feel ya hard on that one 😂😂💖 love you 😘
I think Happy Moot Point changed their name to Daily Pattern Post. I think I heard that from flosstubers?
Oooo good to know thank you!
What wonderful friends you have! Can you send me the link to the pattern Flowers Feed the Soul? It is a lovely design.
Unfortunately the shop I bought it from is closed so I can’t get a link ☹️ sorry about that!
This is not exactly but I found this long dog that’s similar. www.etsy.com/listing/783120286/
Your eyes do get messed up when pregnant. Don't bother checking them for a few months:)
I swear they did lol! It’s so bad.
My optician told me it’s something to do with the muscles relaxing. You’re also more prone to dry eyes. Pregnancy is crazy lol.
@@Stitchybecca482 it really is wild what our bodies can do. 💗
Instead of tossing the piece you are not going to stitch, see if any of your subscribers might want to finish it for themselves.
I gifted it to a friend 💗
