Cathy and Bill, you two are such a couple goals to me! The way you two interact, support each other! so nice to see this can still happen after many many years of marriage!
Hi Cathy and Bill. Always love watching your videos and seeing the 2 of you together. I am always guaranteed to have a good laugh or two. I preordered the kit from Shepherds Needle, have not received yet but I’m patiently waiting. I am also signed up for both your closes on Jingle Ball, I can’t wait. You are my favorite designer, I love everything you do. Someday I hope to get to go to one of your retreats and meet you in person and of course Bill. Looking forward to what you will be releasing at Jingle Ball❤❤❤❤
Happy Thanksgiving to both of you! I just love everything that you design and cannot wait to get these 2 new releases. See you in both classes at the Jingle Ball 🎄🎅🎄
You two are the most enjoyable people to watch and fun to be with. My husband, Bill, doesn’t talk much. I enjoy watching your Bill interact with you 💗 Besides your great personalities, giving hearts, and definitely great humor, your designs are so ME!!!!! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving season with your family.
Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful designs … hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving Day … see y’all soon at the Jingle Ball so until next time Happy Stitching 🧵 … 😊❤ Dena
Love the ribbons! Looking forward to the jingle ball, so many goodies to stitch this time of year! Have a lovely Thanksgiving, don't forget to take a moment, look around and see how blessed you are. ❤❤❤
What a fun video! Glad you had a great trip to Stitch West and seeing friends after the fact :) I love the new releases. You and Beth are so creative! Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving 💜
Your That’s a Wrap pillows are so pretty! I am always amazed at your designs and the thought you put into your creations. Christmastide is on its way to me and I’ll see if I can keep up for a finish😀 And my #Joy is stitched and ready to be finished in December 48:12 with my kit that arrived last week. Thank you very much. Happy Thanksgiving to you both and to your family🦃
What a fun video- I live in Utah and love the Zion area- breathtaking beauty in every direction. You should check out arches national park next time. You will love that too. Thank you for all your beautiful designs.
Lovely new releases, Cathy, as always! I am going to the Jingle Ball for the first time this year and I can’t wait! I didn’t sign up for any classes because I have a big event at church that weekend as well, but I am looking forward to all the entertainment and the stitchy tables and the meet and greet. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Christmastide is so pretty. I love the way you planned the stitching over 12 days. I am looking forward to the #joy class at Jingle Ball. I received my kit with no issues. Also love the pillows. Your designs are just beautiful. 🤩
Now I need to get my order in for the Christmas Tide Sampler. Our Canadian postal workers are on strike so who knows where it will arrive. My first Jingle Ball this year. ❤🎉
Mr. HOD and my husband should form a 'Watch the orders travel' club. Unfortunately, my hubby is watching what comes in the door. I love counted canvas (needlepoint in my world)! Your happy designs might just get me over my fear of Jingle Ball. I know. I'm silly. Stitching them will be so fun! So many fun designs . . . wish I stitched faster. Good to see you again!
Great video. I so enjoy visiting with you both. Wonderful Christmas designs. I love the between friends autumn book. I was at a stitching day and 2 friends had done all the projects in the book. It was so much fun to see them in person. Looking forward to the jingle ball.
Great video!! I always enjoy them and love your designs!! I have several of your patterns. My birthday is the same day as yours so Happy Belated Birthday to us!!! I treated myself today and ordered Christmastide. Happy Belated Birthday/Merry Christmas to me!!! Looking forward to receiving it. Happy holidays to you, Mr. HOD and your family. ❤
How fun, I was watching this video when my Countdown to Christmas Jingle Ball box arrived and yep, I hit pause and ran to the front door to retrieve it! I'm so looking forward to this class!! 🪡❤ Wishing the HOD family a very happy Thanksgiving.
Ha. I do not think I am an overachiever in cross stitch but I am almost done with the counted canvas/needlepoint ornaments... And fun they are! One reason is that, being.... Thrifty, cheap, frugal.. I made stretcher bar thing and wanted to know if It would work. It has! (I cut a square out of some foam blocking mats I had and secured the canvas with quilt tacks. Easy to put tacks in, seems to have held shape, and was easy to transport). Looking forward to the finishing and to other new patterns And like the Christmas sample
Just ordered your Christmastide Sampler. Thanks for including the link. I am not very techy and you made it easy for me to find it. Love your videos with hubby. And I love your designs. I just can’t stitch fast enough.
I didn't realize that you had other counted canvas pieces in your catalog; I'll have to look for them. I love counted canvas; its soothing and is easy to work on when my eyes (or my brain!) are tired. 🪡👠
@@stitchinginhighheels9529 I do! I have 6 or 7 in the catalog. I have been trying to design more for awhile so I’m thrilled that this happened for The Jingle Ball.
Love That's A Wrap! I'm working on it now. Are you going to have a tutorial on placement of the stitched ribbons on the pillows. How much do I cut off so I get that frayed look? LOVE YOUR SHOW!
Bill, I need you to watch packages I order! The Christmas box from Chantelle went from Michigan to Omaha (I’m in Lincoln) THEN it went to SC and was stuck there because of hurricanes but finally made it. Last Saturday a package was ordered from Omaha, tracking said I’d have Monday. Sat in Omaha a couple days then went to Chicago! I’m waiting. I don’t understand. Those stackable pillows are so cute!!! I gave Starberry fabrics! Videos would be great!
I just bought your “Gather Pinecones” from FQS! Can’t wait to get started! I don’t do any social media, except RUclips, so I’m really glad you’re here! Enjoy your videos, you and Bill are so cute together!❤. Hope whatever new piece you are teasing from Stitch West will be released at Nashville Needlework next year!
I just received the little pillows chart (love them! ❤️💚) but I have a question. I read all the instructions but unless I missed it, I don’t see any mention of how to trim the fabric when you’re done with the nun stitch. I’m talking about making the fringe on the edge, how many stitches beyond the nun stitch do we cut the fabric? Hope that makes sense.
@@Patsay9053 it’s really up to you how much ‘fringe’ you would like. I cut between the 3rd & 4th threads and pulled the threads right up to the nun stitch. Hope that helps.
I absolutely love the term “HOD”! You guys are so sincere and I do plan on purchasing a few items!
Cathy and Bill, you two are such a couple goals to me! The way you two interact, support each other! so nice to see this can still happen after many many years of marriage!
@@Helen_Amt aww, thank you 😊
Mr HOD, I love how you keep track of the packages, ❤ shows how much you care !!
