    I hope you feel better soon... R&R for a day or two! You definitely need to be on your A game for stitch con fun! Love your new shirt! Awesome!
    Love your Gifts From My Garden and the memories you shared. It is a piece you will cherish every time you look at it.
    Safe travels, have fun and just enjoy the stitch!

    Your tribute piece was the first one I bought from Nashville for the same reason. It reminds me of my mother. I haven't started it yet--working monogamously on a gift. Anyway, yours is stunning, and I love the frame too and displayed with that happy picture. I'm an adoptive mother and I could feel your heart. Your mother was blessed to have you. I'm praying for you to have peace and feel better. You bring me joy, and I want joy to fill you up. Enjoy stitch-con. Barbara

    Your finish is beautiful! I can’t believe you got it done so quickly! One of the few perks of getting older is no more severe migraines. I battled them for years too. Hope you are better. Have a great time at Stitch Con!🪡

    I just recently came across your floss tube. I thoroughly enjoy watching you. You are so genuine. I love flamingos as well. I hope you were able to get a quick relief from your migraines. I was a migraine sufferer for years. I sympathize with you immensely. Have a great time at Stitch - Con. Hugs to you.

    Sending hugs. Love the tribe to your mom. I uses to suffer from horrible migraines that lasted 48 to 72 hours at a time. Then I had a hysterectomy and I have not had any migraine since. I hope you find so kind of relief. Sending out prayers to all who need them. Praise our heavenly Father for all he does in our lives.

    I love God-incidences! When you mentioned God being your Shepherd, it was a reminder to me, but then... I was behind on preparing my prayer journal for June. Wouldn't you know my focus for the month is Jehovah-Rohi: The Lord is my Shepherd. Prayers for full relief from the migraines. ❤️🤗🙏🏼

    Thank you for sharing a little about your mom. My mom passed away February 14th this year( also from dementia). And this weekend we will gather as a family to spread her ashes and remember her. Your stitched piece for your mom makes me want to find just the right cross stitch piece as a memory to my mom.

    The tribute piece for your mom turned out so beautifully. Thank you for sharing a little about her with us. She does have a twinkle in her eye, that photo is such a good one. I hope your daughter has a wonderful time in Utah! I’m sure it can be hard to see her go off on her own but this kind of experience will help her grow. And thanks for the kind mention about my wedding! We don’t have a flower girl, so you’re hired! 😂

    Re Welcome to the North Pole: I would move those striped poles outward a space in each direction, add an extra stitch to each side of the snow, and call it good. There’s no border and no one is going to measure it with a ruler to see if your side edges match all the way down. The tiny ends of the garland will not be noticeable if they’re too wide. I think it’s so cute in one big piece.

  • @kimrae6752
    @kimrae6752 Год назад

    I love that you are walking the walk! Good for you. Have a ball at the retreat. Thoughts: 1) sadly, I think that if you continue on with “The North Pole” as is, that you will not be happy. 😢 if you want to stitch it as 1 big piece, I think that you need a visit from the 🐸 😮. OR… stitch it as pillows, as you suggested. 2) a friend struggled with migraines and it was suggested to her to remove common allergens from her diet (dairy, corn, etc…) and she learned that corn was a huge problem for her and she is migraine free now. Just something to think about.
    Thank you for your wonderful flosstubes! I appreciate you and your content! Xx

    Love the tribute piece for your mom. My mom had dementia the last two years of her life. Very difficult two years - it was as if she became a different person. Safe travels for Emily on her summer job/adventure! I enjoyed the fish tank update. That's great that hubby and Gavin changed fish stores and like the staff there!

    As you are talking about the sheep… have you done the little sheep virtues? They are wonderful. I am currently working on one a month this year. So far my favorites are faith and peace.

  • @britches__get__stitches
    @britches__get__stitches Год назад

    On Welcome to the North Pole, what if you just took off 2 stitches on either end of the top garland? That gets rid of your 4 extra rows (If I'm following your math correctly). I've got to get mine started this week!
    Yay for linen stitching! So much goodness!

  • @quiltralso2
    @quiltralso2 Год назад

    So sorry about the migraines - they totally suck!! I have had a lot more recently, I think my allergies are just getting worse (big trigger!!), and now the smoke coming down from the Canadian wildfires is just adding to it...
    I think you should just make the top swag 4 stitches longer (2 on each side) than the rest of the stitch. I would find it easier to remember to start 2 stitches in than to try to add 4 to each horizontal row.
    Can't wait to see all your content from StitchCon!! I can't go to any retreats right now, so I'll live thru you!!!

    The piece you stitched honor of your mother is beautiful. It compliments her picture and the frame is perfect. I’m glad you have been able to make peace with your mom. A truly lovely tribute. I hope your migraine goes away quickly. My daughter gets them monthly and gives herself shots for them once a month. She had a battle with insurance and won. Migraines are no fun. Enjoy StitchCon!!!

How comforting it must be to know that your daughter will be in such good hands on her first big trip away from home💕. Hope your migraine disappears real soon. Your stitch to hnor your mom is just stunning❤️. Relax and have a ball at StitchCn!!

  • @sewmesarah
    @sewmesarah Год назад

    Hi Alicia. Take care of yourself with those migraines, sweet lady. Re North Pole - if your top row is 4 stitches too long, could you just take two of the stitches off each end of the row (the green swag), and make sure to bring all the rows in by the two stitches at each end for this top part. That way all your adjustments are just in part 1 and all the other parts can be stitched as they are? I haven’t seen the pattern, so not sure if that would work but sound easier than remebering to adjust every part going forward. Hope that makes sense.

She loved flowers so very much! Plan on stitching this piece for her! I am working on COURAGE now, placing my family members in! Feel good! Have a good week! Ordered those bags for myself! Excited, one like yours with Flamingo!!!!! Love the new format, so cute! Wish I were going to be at stitch con with you! Your babies and you are going to be just fine! Prayers and lots of love!

  • @leaannsmith7128
    @leaannsmith7128 Год назад

    I have a “fish” story for you. My daughter & her family were in Florida last enjoying the beach. I stayed at their house to watch the dogs & feed the fish. Easy right? They kept saying there were 3 fish…I only saw 2 & I hunted for that 3rd one. They said don’t worry he’s hiding…nope he had died. 😢 I felt horrible! My grandson took it like a champ. He told me “don’t worry gigi, don’t be sad, it’s not your fault. It’s just the circle of life.” 😮
    I loved the piece you stitched for your mom. I stitched several pieces for my mother. When she moved into assisted living they came back to me.
    Mother also suffered from dementia/Alzheimer’s. It was a tough journey we were on for several years. She passed 4 years ago this September. She is missed every day. ❤
    I decided to do something easy for cross stitch camp. I’m stitching the camp badge! 😂
    I’ll keep you in my prayers, it’s hard to let those daughters go off. Even though you know they’re ready.
    Have a great time at Stitch Con!
    Where would we mail “happy mail” if we had something? Asking for a friend…😂

    If you want to keep the Welcome to the North Pole as one piece, just make sure the second section is centered and everything else will be centered. It’s ok to have the swags a bit longer, it’s on top. ❤️❤️
