Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

Love seeing all the finishes and new starts! It was so lovely to spend some time with you and visit Sheri's shop. Also, I had a feeling Maryam would already have that pattern 😉

I have had problems stitching patriotic for the past few years too. I put out my old stuff but just don't want to stitch any now. Thought I was the only one. Felt good to hear I'm not alone. I've been focusing on bees.

I haven't been able to do any patriotic stitching for several years.

Beautiful finishes Julie! Lucky ducks, your outing at Colorado Cross Stitcher's shop sounds fun! You've enabled me once again- you picked up some fun items at the shop. I'm excited about Nuri's new pattern too! I wonder if there's a SAL out for it.

Iced coffee is life, and no one can tell me differently. Even in the winter, I’m an iced coffee gal. 😉 Absolutely adding Moonlight Laguna Mermaid to my must stitch list. Your conversion looks so beautiful, as always!

Great to see you and I always enjoy seeing what you are stitching. Thanks for the book recommendations (and warnings). Just put a few things on my To Be Read list! Have a great summer and happy stitching!

The forest friends are adorable!!! Your mom is going to love her present!

So happy to come across your video! Love your tee shirt and love your SAL! No patriotic stitches here and like others I thought I was the only one too.

Love nightstalker's calling fabric and floss. That tiny modernist Sal is super cute! Hope she releases it at some point.

I loved A Fate Inked in Blood! The cliffhanger it left me on makes me crave the next one!

Love the Ink Circles round robin piece! Awesome colors and I love dragonflies. Thank you for the link to the Juneteenth patterns. I am meeting up with Chris and Jane from BosStitchers on Juneteenth at my daughter’s coffee shop in Freeport, ME. I bought the pattern that says June Nineteenth and made copies for them. Looking forward to their visit and if you’re ever in Maine… 😊

Always glad to see your videos. Iced coffee really is life. I used to live in between Boulder and Denver, and miss CO a lot, but your videos always remind me of being there. :)

Your mermaid is beautiful! The conversion is perfect and I love that it isn’t huge. I also have noticed that the red, white, and blue has kind of taken over the whole summer in an oddly aggressive way. Love your choices! I soooo love your book talk! You earned that iced coffee - hope it was delicious!

The fabrics you dyed are SO pretty! I love how your Pieces project turned out. Definitely feel you on not feeling the patriotic stitches these days too. ♥️

I love your T-shirt🏳️‍🌈 And now I need an iced coffee, too!!!

Just added Moonlight Laguna Mermaid to the wish list! 💝

You sure earned that iced coffee! Yes, patriotism is a difficult one these days. 2 1/2 years ago I stitch the Ukrainian coat of arms encircled by a heart thinking it would be on my wall for a short while and yet...it remains there. Toying with doing a piece with a Palestinian theme now but will I come to understand that it could be a new focus every year or two?! Love to see what you're working on and what you've been reading. ;0)

Julie! Greetings from Dallas! What a fun video! Really enjoyed all of it including the book talk. Love the tarot card stitch. That is going to be so beautiful when it’s finished. Hope all is well in your Colorado World!!

Love the Tiny Modernist SAL! It's adorable! Your mermaid skin conversion is spot on and so beautiful! I totally agree that any Abby Jimenez books are a must read. I binged most of the audio books in January and February from my library. They are great audio books. The voice actors do a wonderful job and I felt very connected to the characters.

I still haven't found fabric I want for my tarot. I'm going to stitch it for my DIL who not only reads tarot cards, but is also a 90s baby and loves Lisa Frank :D

I love when you are able to make videos more often!! (And your chattiness is the best! Have all the coffee! (Because how else can you do the sentence putting together?! lol)). I’ve been watching you for a few years and I recently started again alllll the way back at the beginning of your videos (up to ~68ish)! It’s crazy to watch and think about all that has changed/developed in the world as you can see in the updates in your videos. You are definitely my favorite flosstuber! I hope you never stop making videos!! Edited to say: I also love book talk!

Your Mira’s are always so amazing❤

i love the Bees In Her Bonnet pattern! and im not even a sampler stitcher LOL

The DMC floss color pisces

I like your stitching! May I ask about the stitch to your left of the lady sitting on the sewing machine. I'd like to purchase that pattern. Its adorable. I like that you do all kinds of stitching.

Tshirt twins!!! "I'm sorry this is a spoiler but you shouldn't read this book anyway; it's not good." lolol

Ice coffee as motivation is too real😅😅 Love the forest friends 🦨🦨🦨❤❤ What is the pattern that's framed on your wall behind you?

I always enjoy your videos but this one was especially funny to me for some reason, in a good way. Your delivery was just the right tone for me today. And I'm sorry to say, I keep staring at the Thirza Dawes sampler in the background. I purchased and kit it up as soon as it was available but I have yet to start it. I'm so ashamed. Thanks again for another great video update.

Hey Julie! Beautiful stitching as always! I really love The Witchy Stitcher tarot card piece! What did you use to get that beautiful black fabric, is it just rit black? I’ve also been struggling with the patriotic stitching for a while. I still do it some, but not as much as I used to and definitely not with the same joy as I used to feel for it. That’s why I decided to do more nautical/ beachy pieces for my summer decor! So thank you for sharing the mermaid piece because I’m super into mermaids right now! Happy Stitching!

I’m from Canada and I have found that so many designers are releasing so much patriotic patterns especially since needlework marketplace earlier this year. The designers I was most excited about seeing their releases I was so disappointed that they were pretty much full of patriotic stuff and continued to release them. :( 😢

No patriotic stitching here either. Xoxo

Love how your Queen Charlotte piece is looking - the colors are perfect. Love the skin tone conversions you did for your mermaid and for Taurus - they look fantastic. Completely agree with you about the Ritual. It was just...not good. I actually put it down for like a month or two and then made myself go back to it and finish it, but I was just not feeling it.

Love the parade. Wondering what color number did you use for Pisces lady?. So glad to hear about your views on diverse stitching. Also your fabric colors are awesome. Do you stitch in hand or hoop?

Life is short - drink the coffee!! I remember when Nora released Taurus I pointed out to her that she had the Aries symbol on the Taurus chart. I don't know if she released an official chart correction, though. (It wasn't difficult to do, really.) And I am with you on the book recall. I know I loved the book, but don't ask me to tell you anything about it!

❤❤❤

Your mermaid is beautiful!!!

Love the t shirt and love your channel

I really love your videos. I added them to my watch now, like now, Playlist!😂😂😂

The finished item in your background-I lived in books more…. Who is the designer and/or where did you buy it ? I need this so badly!$

Happy Pride 🌈 Love seeing all your finishes and progress. The fabric/thread on the Queen Charlotte piece is lovely. Thank you for the honesty on books. Never been a fan of everything that is pushed out there by social media. Glad you said something 😂 cuz I was beginning to think I was the only one. Have a great rest of your week!

😊🪡🧵🤗🤩
