Loved seeing your plans and stitching friendship! I so connected with the reminder that this is a hobby - it’s meant to be fun, not just restricted by too much organization or arbitrary goals. Thank you for encouraging the love of stitching for the joy of creating something beautiful! Can’t wait to see the next one, friends! ❤
Thank you for your sweet comment. I have to remind myself a lot that this is my hobby and that I stitch because I love it and not because I have made it a chore. I love creating goals but I am learning its ok to change the goal and do whatever I want at the time! Enjoy your stitching!
I am your long lost Sister. I hate being told what to do so I gave up on WIPGO. Loved your projects and plans. Stitchy Sarah is a lovely stitcher and wonderful friend and I am also trying to complete 6 projects in the first quarter.
I knew I had siblings out there! I'm trying WIPGO again and now I have added BOSME as well. I'm going month by month so we shall see how far I get. I love Sarah's videos, and I have a few projects started because of her. Lol! I'm really hoping to do the 6 finishes per quarter. Happy stitching! 🩷
What a great idea you two had for the Jingle Ball! I am lucky as I live in Ontario and have been able to attend all the retreats done by Evertote, Roxy Floss Co. and Jacob of Modern Folk Embroidery. I am also signed up to attend the 2024 retreats with Evertote, and Roxy Floss Co. You gave me some great ideas with organizing and planning your stitching. The positive reinforcement of the stitching community is wonderful and I wish I could connect with others in my area but can’t find any! Happily, you are all out there. I was happy to also attend the Jingle Ball and met many of my favourite Flosstubers in the stitching rooms. Keep up the great stitching!
The Evernote team does a super job of their retreats! We loved attending Stitch North. Glad you also got to the retreat with Jacob. Exciting! Happy stitching!🩷
Those are wonderful ideas, Sheryl! I have some projects that will be gifts for Christmas and I just accepted that I would not be doing WIPGO again. I want to have them done in time to be fully finished so this will work for me. We had some snow here the other day so I difd get So Much Snow back out and we are getting some more this weekend so I may get it out again. Such a fantastic video. Thank you.
Thank you for watching. We had a snow day on Wednesday but the snow left quickly. I do love the snow. My So Much Snow is almost done! Happy stitching 🧵
Hi girls! Loved seeing and hearing all about your plans for the year! Lots of beautiful projects! And isn't WIPGO great in that you can make it work for you. I have my board all set and actually I just finished my first number while I was watching you. I am going to do 1000 stitches per project. I also loved when you said Michelle that you shouldn't ever be made to feel bad about your hobby, whether it is coming from yourself or someone else. We are just all here to have a good time. P.S. I don't think a storm is a good enough excuse for you two to miss recording a video :)
Hey Khristine! I'm glad you are doing WIPGO, too! I am so hopeful it will help me finish a few things! Fingers crossed! I really think it's important to remember that we are just making xs and to always be kind. You're right. A storm shouldn't stop us!! Happy stitching!🩷
Happy New Year to you too !! Loved meeting you at Jingle Ball ! Great video and thank you so much for the shout-out for my channel and my Leap Year Sal 2024-2028 ! I love the projects that you both picked !!! See you online !
Thank you ladies for another great video! Love your plans. I tend to “wing it” when it comes to stitching. But love watching how organized others are. Keep up the great work! Happy Stitching! 💗💓💕
I am a terrible planner but over the past few years, through limited successful WO+IPGO boards and listening to people's plans on Flosstube, I seem to have a semi hopeful plan for 2024. I have done modified WIPGO and it worked the best for me. Love spending time with you ladies! Stay warm!
I very much enjoyed your video. Your stitching plans sound so good and I love your message that it is a hobby which is to be enjoyed and not stressed about. Thank you ladies for another great video. Wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year.
I really want to focus on remembering that this a hobby and not something to stress and worry about. Hopefully, the plans I have made will help. Happy stitching!🩷
So glad to see you ladies back for floss tube. I totally agree that cross stitch is a hobby and when it brings us stress, something has to change. I stitch on what I want to stitch on and I do not feel bad if I find I have a project that just doesn't bring me joy anymore. Like Cheryl I sometimes followed others and not what worked for me so lessons learned. I am a big Brenda Gervais fan as well. Right now I am trying to finish up Evry Opening Flower.
I think for me, it's like the fear of missing out. I am hoping that this year is about finishing pieces I love and starts that I can't wait to finish! Happy stitching!🩷
Hi sweet ladies - it was great catching up with you today and learning what your plans/goals are for 2024!! Excited to see some progress and finishes. XX, Rosana
We really enjoyed the Jingle Ball as well. It would have been great to meet up. We need to remember to nessage each other for next time. Happy stitching!🩷
It was so nice to see you back and hear about all the things you're stitching on. I didn't go to the Jingle Ball, but that speed dating thing sounds great! It was fun to hear you describe your plans. However the cards fall, I'm sure you'll both make great progress on whatever you choose to stitch. I'm also a believer in "don't overthink it". Go with the flow and enjoy where your stitching takes you😊. Happy stitching!
Great ideas, I plan on writing down new buys for 2025. I’m also doing the leap year Sal, I just need to get threads . I decided to partake in two thread clubs weeks and classic and I’m not buying patterns unless I’m at a retreat. I do agree it’s a hobby, I say this to myself all the time.
The floss clubs are a great way to build stash. When 2024 is done, we should share our list. I keep telling myself the pattern will still be there in a year. If you still want to stitch it, get it then. Happy stitching!🩷
Hello Lovely Ladies - it is so good to see you back - you are so right about Jingle Ball and our Canadian room was great fun - I look forward to seeing you again on Feb 11 and the one thing I WON'T be doing is stitching 8 Teacher ornaments hahahahaha🤣
That was an hour well spent 🙋♀️ enjoyed listening to all your plans and ideas of how to get projects done ✅ Take Care & keep your stick on the ice 🏒 🇨🇦😁
Thank you for watching! I had to smile when I read your comment because my husband always tells our daughter to keep her stick on the ice. Happy stitching 🧵
Thanks so much for watching our video! I love planning, but I haven't always been great at following through. I'm hoping that this is a very doable plan. Crossing fingers! Happy stitching!🩷
Your plans sound great! Your Jingle Ball weekend sounds perfect! I was disappointed not to be able to get to the tables but pretty sure the issue was on my end. That hopefully will be improved by next year. My sister used to live in Murray River and Beach Point so we’d make a trip over at least once, often twice a year. Since she’s moved home we’ve only been over a handful of times. In 2022 we came over for the musical Tell Tale Harbour. I see there’s a July retreat on the island too. Will you be at that?
Hey Darlene, we were hoping to connect with you at the ball as well. We haven't heard about the retreat in July. Could you message me the details. Happy stitching!🩷
So marvelous to see you two and hear about your plans! You know if we head for PEI, I'll let you know. We're in Florida right now visiting friends and I'm sending warm thoughts your way. I think I've got about 15 WIPs since New Year's Eve that I'll be rotating through for the next few months. I know I want to start more but I'm trying to keep my focus on them. We'll see how that works out for me. 😂 Remember to post so I can see how things are coming along for you two.
Hey Doreen! Lucky duck to be in Florida! Hope you are enjoying sunshine and warm weather! Cantcwait tocsee your updates on your projects. I'm going to do better about posting on Instagram! Enjoy your holiday and happy stitching! 🩷 P.S PEI is beautiful in the summer! 😉
Hi Doreen! Enjoy Florida but don’t send the warmth - I want some storms and we are getting very little snow. I’ll try to post more on Instagram. Happy stitching 🧵
Hey guys, missed you. I'm a terrible planner though I've done better for 2024. It could all change next week, lol. I'm going to try to do the Jingle Ball next year, hopefully it will fall on a weekend when Aaron is at his dad's. Sorry ladies, it's the first time I've ever stuck to a SAL, now I'm doing 3 more. Sheryll, I really want to see your progress on Always Remember.
Michelle, I’m interested in trying 25 count for the same reason as you. Have you found you can use DMC or must it be a finer silk thread? I didn’t catch what you are using. I also signed up for the leap year sal. I’ve got a project in mind. Happy New Year ladies see you next month.
Loved seeing your plans and stitching friendship! I so connected with the reminder that this is a hobby - it’s meant to be fun, not just restricted by too much organization or arbitrary goals. Thank you for encouraging the love of stitching for the joy of creating something beautiful!

Excited to see you guys dig into those wips. You have such amazing projects!
Good to see you my friend! Thank you so much for sharing
What a great idea to get a hotel for the “jingle ball”! That must have been SOOOO FUN! Love all your projects and plans ladies ❤ -Jen
It was a lot of fun! We just stitched and relaxed. The Jingle Ball was great, too! So far, I'm enjoying my plan! Happy stitching!🩷

Hi Kay
I'm using dmc for the PS stitch. It's works very well. I'm really enjoying stitching on it! Let me know if you try it! Happy stitching!🩷
