Those quilts are amazing - can’t wait to see the finishes. Your Freedom Rings is beautiful! That Halloween bag is so cute. Glad to see you! Take care❤❤

Hi Nancy. Loved all of your stitching and beautiful quilting! You look great------retirement is definitely already agreeing with you:) Stay inside during this brutal heat wave and keep stitching!

Always love your videos, and your humor. Keep it up! Please don't call your errors "mistakes", they are called "Nancy's added touches" !!! I can tell you have joined those of us who are retired, you have a big smile and you find your STASH that you have grown over the years. Please don't be in a hurry to part with your stash, as retirement funds don't reach as far as pay checks did. Take care and keep stitching. Love the quilts also.

Great finish on Freedom Rings! Your quilt projects are so nice. The best part of the video for me was seeing you looking rested, relaxed and happy. Retirement looks wonderful on you!!!!

Good morning, Nancy! I just found your channel and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Congratulations on your retirement. I am a retired elementary teacher - 14 yrs. now - and I think it would have been a blast to be on staff with you. I love your sense of humor. I have a love of history and always told my kiddos that history is a really great story because it happened. I'm looking forward to watching more. Keep up the good work.

Hi Nancy Love your WIPS - they are very pretty. Love your Quilting - those blocks are big. Wow. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵✂️❤️

Hi Nancy, glad to see you are recovering well from your knee surgery. In the opening there was a picture of your grandson. I live near Broadcreek Boyscout campground. My boys were all boyscouts and we have lots of good memories from there. I am a big Peanuts fan as well and love the Halloween bag. Try to keep cool! Oh, I am a quilter as well and I love your blocks!!!❤

I’m not a quilter-I made two back in the day but don’t like cutting all the fabric-however, I love them. My bestie is an excellent quilter, who gets paid to quilt other people’s quilt tops and has made me a few. I absolutely love them and I have no patience for making them. However, I love seeing them. Thanks so much for sharing yours. I am still stuck on the first block of Shores. The rocks and ocean have not gone well so I kinda stopped to stitch patriotic and beach. I’m happy your knee is healing enough so you can drive again and that you are enjoying retirement. I started my ninth year of retirement and love it. Now on to watching your WIP parade video.

Hi Nancy! So much beautiful quilting and stitching in this video!! Thank you for showing all of the beautiful projects you are working on! Your quilts are beautiful!! You look so happy and relaxed since you are now retired! I just love your cat, and enjoy seeing her (?) on your IG posts! Hope to see you someday in person, perhaps at the Midsummer Stitching virtual retreat??

Happy Retirement and glad to see your knee recovery is going so well. Your quilt blocks are gorgeous ! Can't wait to see more .

Hi Nancy loved your quilt blocks,quilts,and all cross stitch,Halloween,also you are looking so well and more Happy in yourself,retirement is great,have a good week Thankyou for sharing 🪡❤️🇳🇿

I agree! You look great! You have made some wonderful progress on your large projects! And a fully finished project! It looks perfect. I like history too! Now that I’m retired it’s great to have some time.

Another great video Nancy! You have a smile a mile wide ... retirement looks good on you! 😊 Your quilts are beautiful as well as your WIPs. I've been stitching on both Christmas in July as well as Patriotic this month. Looking forward to cooler weather & switching over to stitching Halloween & other Fall projects next month! Have a great week & happy stitching!

Congrats on your retirement!!! Oh my that Heaven and Earth design is a doozy! But it will be stunning once done. Your pillow turned out very nice. It is a nice patriotic piece. The Halloween Peanuts bag is so cute. Stay safe in this heat.

Congratulations on your fully finished pillow! Well done! I also admire your applique by machine -- I confess, I've done it, and also by hand, but it's not my jam. I'm a *piecer* and love Bonnie Hunter too -- as she continues to help me use up my scraps. (They breed in the night, doncha know?!) I'm also fond of samplers, and have a couple of big ones on my plate. My fave designers are Jeannette Douglas (I used to work for her in her office when Iived down in Calgary where she is). I"m also fond of Jacob of Modern Folk Embroidery -- his geometrics and Quaker designs get me every time. As for an LNS -- I'm 2+ hours' drive north of Traditional Stitches, but I love that shop -- and they have a great online store. And I've also treated myself to some of Evertote/Roxy Floss linens and flosses. I prefer to buy Canadian, of course, as the CAD/USD exchange rate is 30% or so -- and not in my favour here in Alberta!

Always wait for your videos. Your finish is Great. I just got back to Ohio from Arizona. So ooo hot. Fun visit with my family. Got to see my two great great grandchildren. Have fun stitching.

I love, love, love your quilts!!!! Halloween is one of my favorite stitching themes!

So nice to see your face again and your stitching!!! Love your quilt too! I just joined your Facebook.

Congratulations on your retirement! I love the quilts you have finished and that you are working on. You have shown lots of cross stitch patterns I have never seen. Halloween will be here before we know it! ❤️✂️🪡🧵

❤❤❤ isn't retirement wonderful. Love all your stitching. Glad your recovery is going well.

Love your videos. Glad you are feeling well and getting lots of stitching done.

That’s a brilliant idea with the poppy field stitch. I like Ken Burns also

As others have said, you have some beautiful projects. Just wanted to let you know that felt like poppies, with a straight pin to fasten it on your jacket, are available to purchase in Canada every year from November 1st through to the 11th. It's called Remembrance Day here, and the monies raised from poppy sales go to our Legions. When you have a chance, check out A Dutch Stitcher. She is relatively new to being back to stitching and has gone down the rabbit hole. Halloween and Peanuts go well together!

Love your quilt blocks. Thank you for sharing Looks like you are healing well Hugs

Love your patriotic finish! I recently worked on patriotic, then moved to a fall piece when I really needed to be doing a Christmas stitch. I don't have Halloween on my radar yet but I'm sure I will soon. I guess you could say I'm all over the place. Oh well. Thank you for sharing your work.

Good to see you back, you sound great. Awesome quilts and cross stitch projects. Enjoy retirement!

Well Nancy…since retiring I have tried to get to the sewing machine more. That means going through my closets of fabric. I have a lot of fabric…wow. I might be cutting up my fabric into logical smaller cuts right next to you. I am so glad you can drive again. Take care.🦉🧵🪡🔆

Halloween is great to stitch and your quilts are wonderful.

I really like your idea of modifying Plum Street Samplers’ “We Remember” with the poem.

You look great! Glad you seem to be doing so well after the surgery. I look forward to Halloween stitching 😊

Quilt blocks are beautiful!!!!❤

So good to see you! I so enjoy your videos! I am a big Halloween lover & stitcher so the Peanuts project bag really caught my eye. Take care & give your nurse a big hug!

I love your idea for the project bags! Nubbies is definitely a proper term! I love the blue fabric on your FFO! I want to the halloween Hawk Run Hollow charts someday. Breaking it down, like you said, makes it seem a lot less intimidating! Now that Heaven and Earth chart.... 😲 That's crazy huge!

Hi Nancy, I love your Pumpins and Blossoms quilt blocks. 💖💖 Halloween. Do the full coverage in half stitches. Happy Stitching and Quilting. ❤❤❤

Wonderful to see you and your enjoying your retirement. The quilting and stitching are both beautiful. Good for you jumping into full coverage..I would never start one but I am not retired so guess never say never. Halloween in July..sounds like fun 😉 Happy Stitching 🙋‍♀️

Loved your patriotic finish! I love Halloween stitching❤❤❤ looking forward to meeting you at the Grace Notes retreat in a few weeks!

Your quilting and stitching are amazing. Love Halloween

I like fun Halloween. Great video. Happy Stitching.

I am glad you sound so happy.

Love your finish. I like to watch the great pumpkin at Halloween Charlie brown is one of my favorite cartoons. Woodstock is my favorite.

Always good to see you when your videos pop up. You look healthy, happy and rested. Amazing what the lack of knee pain and retirement can do for us. Cindy

Hi Nancy! I love your quilting blocks. You have encouraged me to start doing my own floss conversions. I mean all this floss stash is just sitting here. Michelle

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year!

You have been very productive in your retirement! Halloween is my favorite holiday.

I cannot wait for HALLOWEEN!!!! I would LOVE to have a Peanuts bag! I think I might rival you as a Peanuts fan. I used them in my classroom as much as I could!!!! ❤️🙏🏼 PS. Your quilting is beautiful, as is your cross stitch. So happy to see you!!!

I love Halloween and love your project bags. Really enjoyed your video. Congratulations on your retirement. ❤

Sure ready for Halloween 🎃 weather! Love those cool Fall 🍁🍂 days! Enjoyed your video, Girlfriend!

I am really getting excited about stitching for Halloween this year.

Your quilts are gorgeous. I also like your patriotic stitches. I’m a Canadian and it’s kinda hard to find anything along the lines of Canadian stuff. I’m in the process of collecting the floss for Halloween at Hawk Run Hallow. See you next time, until then happy stitching 🪡😊

I'm so jealous of you being retired! I have a billion years to go. I, also, love peanuts and would really treasure the Halloween bag! Have a great week!

Love your prairie quilt. I have the kit for that but haven’t started. Ugh. So pretty! You’re looking really great. I hope u feel good too. Wonderful stitches. ❤ Halloween

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos, although you may have to change your name pretty soon. Beautiful quilt, I can't wait to see it finished. And congrats on your FFO, I like yoiur idea of modifying "We Remember"

Always enjoy seeing g your video. Beautiful stitching and quilting. Your finish is so cute. Great haul, a couple I need to get myself. Thank you for always sharing. Halloween

Retirement agrees with you, that is a very genuine smile 😊 I love the applique quilt ❤ Halloween

Halloween please! Love Peanuts!

Love the Halloween project bag. I need to bite the bullet and just start making them but zippers intimidate me. Love your videos Nancy.

just caught your video you are such an inspiration. yes i saw your thought wonder away must of followed mine into the wild blue yonder. seeing your sewing projects makes me want to start some of my own. Halloween

Halloween! I love that bag!

Btw, I really like your knotty pine walls!:I don't really have a LNS. The closest is at least an hour and a half. I love going to go to a few LNS on our road trips. I don't order much because I'll just plain old spend too much money.

Another great video. Happy retirement. Looking forward to Halloween!

Halloween is in my favorite season

I haven’t started stitching any Halloween yet. But…I have purchased Shores of Hawk Run ! Eeekkkk….it will get started some day. I’m currently finishing Eggs a la Round and have started Queen of Freedom. I need to finish these big girls before I start another!

Always enjoy your videos! Halloween. 👍❤️

Hello! I’m getting caught up on my watching. I love your Colour & Cotton substitutions on Chris’s Freedom Rings. Beautiful! I have a hard time deciding when to quilt and when to cross stitch. I want to do both! How do you decide how to share the time? I love stitching Halloween. In fact, I finished block 1 of the Satsuma Street Monster House Sal while “we chatted.” Happy stitching!❤

Price out the cone of DMC for those large colors. Sometimes that works better price wise. I have four cones next to me…they make HAEDs better

@redneckbifocalstitcher is my friend Sarah. She is amazing!!!

Halloween. Will you be getting your other knee replaced? I get my other knee replaced on September 9.

Glad your knee is doing better. Now that you are retired you can stitch all day. halloween
