    Jennifer I am learning embroidery thru your snippets and books. And today I saw a video of a piece of embroidery I donated for a Breast Cancer fundraiser. It is a piece they will live auction off. I cannot tell you the happiness it brought me, as a former patient to see something I made be use for good. Please keep the snippets coming I learn so much just from watching your style. Thank you

    Thank you as always Jennifer for your video and a lovely time spent with you in your garden. Oh Jane called your bluff 😂. Try Corrine, she has made a few books like this in on her channel. That may help you in your search. I agree this year has flown ,and I am so sorry about the loss of your sister, sending you much love and thoughts over the miles. Our stitching often feels as if it's difficult when we have pensive days. I always say I am compressed, not depressed but not quite jolly. Funny I was thinking on your last video the crows were quiet, perhaps Lord Butcher saw them off, he looked so funny in the house obviously awaiting food.
    I have trimmed Christmas right down, it's a time for children these days. I shall stitch and read and watch tv ,be nice and quiet and unstressed.

I finally found a website to order silk ribbon here in Canada and it has arrived, but I haven’t worked up the nerve yet to try using it haha! I’m hoping you will show us more of your crazy quilt pieces you said you have a plan for? I’ve hauled out my old machine and made two blocks and am trying some of your stitches on the seams but I’m unsure about putting it all together. I hope Chloe and Hayley are both feeling stronger each day🙂

    Hi Jenny. I’m wondering if your crows/ ravens have nested in the trees surrounding our home! There are at least two very hungry babies and , like your husband, their noise gets to me!! The babies are constantly hungry and therefore constantly crowing. My husband hardly notices them!
    We don’t have butcher birds here, but the crows do take over and the families of birds who have nested here each year have disappeared. Such bossy and raucous creatures they are!
    Love any video, silent or otherwise. Hope all are doing well in your world. Chris ❤
