So much beauty! Can you imagine what you’ll accomplish once you’re retired?! My Kingdom of Books should (knock on wood) be done by its 5th birthday on March 1st. I only have the outlining, the titles and the bottom background to do. I’m trying to do 50 stitches in each row across each day. Hopefully I don’t have too many distractions. It’s school break so I’m off babysitting duty. I will stop scrolling for sellers of some of the kits you showed! Pam

Hi Pam!!!!!! Ohhhhhh, March 1st, I can't wait to see it!!!!!!!!! 50 stitches a day is a very smart way to do it! So glad you are on a break from babysitting, stop scrolling and get stitching, lol!!!

@StitchingBetweenTheLines 4 ай бұрын

@@Handworkmaniac Thank you….I might go crazy with how boring the bottom border is, though! There’s about 15 rows of lower border so I figured it would take me 9 days to complete at the rate of 50 stitches per row each day. That ends up being every minute of stitching time I can manage in a day. I’m giving it my all.

Brenda!!!! Oh, my, so much lovely stitching!! I enjoyed seeing all of your pretty projects!! To keep the dark thread from showing through on the front of your finish (of the seaside scene) you can slip a little piece of white non-woven interfacing between the floss and the linen. Make sure the edges of the interfacing are uneven or even a little frayed to keep the edges of that from showing through. You can then mount the stitching on a white board and keep the picture nice and bright. 😊. Didn’t mean to write a book here…. Take care, my friend! Thanks for sharing!!

I'm so bummed that I won't be going to Stitch West this year - barring a miracle. I'm way far down on the 'wait list' because there was a funeral the day of sign ups that my women's group was serving the reception for. By the time I was done with that and the clean up, the retreat was sold out. Maybe next year. I'm going to see if I might make it to one of the Silver Needle or Quilter's Station retreats instead - they are both 'drive not fly' distances for me after all. I'm going to keep up on the #BirdhousesSAL though, just on it's own merits - it's a lovely pattern.

@Handworkmaniac 4 ай бұрын

Hi Karla!!! Sounds like you were doing a good thing though serving at a funeral, which is way more important :) And I would not be surprised if they get quite a ways through their waitlist by the time we get to the retreat.

You have so many lovely stitchy projects, everyone you show is a delight to see. I love the back stitching on haberdashery. I like to stitch a lot of eastern European designer pieces and they use a lot of backstitch. It is so much fun to see the piece come to life after you backstitch. I have tried to do the 30 minute or hour a day on projects, but I never keep up with it. When I need to move a project along each month, I play catch up. Lol. Some projects keep getting pushed back all the time until I have to get them done . Laura has been the reason for several of my project/ purchases. She is so sweet, she even helped me source a hard to find older RTO pattern that I started for my New Year piece. What a wonderful person.❤ Your video was such fun to watch. Have you started a count down to your last work day yet?

Like everyone else, I love your stitching.You are a great artist and inspiration. I use so many of your ideas and organizational skills. I am excited to use the overdyed floss to make things go faster,not to mention how beautiful it looks. I have a question about how to use them,that is do you complete every cross or do you stitch a row with one leg of the cross and comeback to complete the whole cross? Again thank you so much for sharing and inspiration.

@Handworkmaniac 4 ай бұрын

Thank You!!! So glad my ideas have been helpful :) When I use overdyed floss I always cross each stitch as I go, because I like to see all that beautiful variation of color. But you can also go across a row and then come back, and it makes kind of a tweedy look, depending on how highly variegated the floss is.

I always love seeing all of the things you are working on - there are usually 3 or 4 that i have to go bookmark! Just wondering, it looks like the left hand side of most of your WIPs that are in Qsnaps have the left side removed. Is that for the floor/lap stand or just to release the tension on it? Thank you for all the videos! i am now a proud owner of both an Elan lap and floor stand! Love them1

Thank You Stacey! The only reason the left hand clip is removed is so that I can show you the whole piece on the video, so you can see the already stitched part that is under the clip. When I stitch on them I always have all four clips on. In video #19 I show how I hold the q-snaps in my Elan stand. So glad you are loving your stands from Artisan Designs!

Love the " 4 Seasons " piece. Would like to stitch it myself & wonder if it is still available. I think I first saw the pattern years ago.

The Lanarte 4 seasons? I love that project :) I think it was only sold as a Lanarte kit. It is out of print, but I do see it every few weeks on Ebay

Hello Rosalie!! I do need 3.5 magnification reading glasses, and a really good light :) And I also wear contacts. Patreon is a designer membership platform where you can sign up to join a designer's membership group. You can find more information at patreon.com. And WipGo is a fun stitching activity that is run by Jessie who has a KZfaq channel called "Jessie Marie Does Stuff". She has several videos on her channel that explain how it works.

Where did you get the card catalog needle minder on in the library?

@Handworkmaniac 4 ай бұрын

Hi Patricia! It was a large pendant or charm pack that I bought at the Pine Needles quilt/needlework store in Salt Lake City. It is called "Cathe Holden Vintage Charm Zipper Pulls Furniture". And I glued a magnet to the back of it :) It looks like it is available online at a few quilt stores and on etsy and ebay. Here is a listing on etsy :) www.etsy.com/listing/1479300853/moda-fabrics-furniture-chair-and-cabinet?gpla=1&gao=1&&Cj0KCQiAoeGuBhCBARIsAGfKY7w6kRbXhrpJF9o-ZwcoCBK4n3X3yT4Yezwdpdo9UJ5ocA-C4GbB_lgaAgtvEALw_wcB_k_&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAoeGuBhCBARIsAGfKY7w6kRbXhrpJF9o-ZwcoCBK4n3X3yT4Yezwdpdo9UJ5ocA-C4GbB_lgaAgtvEALw_wcB

Hi Brenda. Love watching your flosstube. I am wondering about the retreat you attend called crazy woman retreat. Is that associated with a needlework shop? Or is it a group of you ladies who just get together?

Thank You!! I got that needleminder from a project bag maker on Etsy who made me a BYU project bag. She took a piece of the fabric and made a covered button with it and put a magnet on the back. She made it for me as a special order, but you could always contact her and ask :) Her store is "BrassButtonShop" on Etsy.

Hi Susan! I stitch on all kinds of fabric, including Aida, and all kinds of counts for 7ct klostern to 56ct linen. I do wear 3.5 reading glasses for magnification (I wear monovision contacts and don't need reading glasses to read), but I have not noticed that it is hard on my eyes :)

I have been searching for days with no luck. Maybe you can help me I really appreciate your time. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful work.

Hi Gladys!! I did see a "Lost No More" kit on Ebay last week. It seems to come up every other month or so. I'm sorry it is so hard to find, I would suggest you just keep watching re-sell sites like Ebay and Stash Unload Facebook sites. I believe all of the .pdf versions are illegal copies of the original kit.
