I took a break from Stitching for a while and I have regained my Stitching interest. I ran across your videos. Your teaching videos are always a pleasure to watch. This was a great refresher course. Thank you!❤

I made that hardanger pillow for my niece’s wedding with the intention of becoming a heirloom piece and to be used in our family for all weddings to come. I also made a little bag to hold the coins, that bag had been made for each wedding with their names and dates, but the pillow does not have names so it can be used for all.

Oh my stars!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this free workshop! I am so looking forward to the tutorials, and will try to get fabric and floss this week. It is my fervent wish to one day be able to stitch the reversible Alexandrina da Silva sampler as beautifully as she stitched the original. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥰 💖 😘

Happy Mother’s Day, Nicola! I made each of my two daughters a wedding ring pillow and a box for their Arras ( a Spanish tradition that Filipinos still practice of exchanging a set of 13 coins between the couple to symbolize their pledge t care for their family). Thank you creating a free MrsParkaman’s workshop for us to learn by and enjoy. You are so generous. Take care!

Hi Nicola, This is so generous of you to do. Thank you so much. I have already downloaded the pattern. Looking forward to stitching along with yourself and everyone. What a lovely idea! We can all learn. Thank You for sharing with us.

I really enjoyed the workshop in Northern Kentucky with the Queen City Sampler Guild and really learned a lot about how to make my stitches look neater on front and back. You are an amazing teacher and very generous with your time too. I loved Margaret Hutton and the sampler that you gifted us also. Looking forward to the Stitch Along in the next few weeks. Thank you for all you do to make our stitching community better and better! I never miss any of your videos as they are always chock full of goodness. Hope to see you again soon! Happy Stitching! Dottie

Thank you so much for this!! I don't have the funds to pay for classes and of course cant travel either so this is amazing. I have been trying to learn on my own but it is so much easier to see someone actually do the stitches. Again, Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity.

I learned to cross stitch at age twelve. At age seventy-two, still learning. Thank you Nicola. I can now do reversible cross stitch if I should ever desire to do so.

Thank you Nicola for being so generous and sharing your knowledge with us. I have been hesitant in doing some samplers because of the different stitches, and not having the confidence do them. These videos I am sure will give me the confidence to attempt them now.

I’m so excited to start the workshop because I love to learn new skills. I have been looking at the beautiful Elizabeth Charlotte Cotton because I love band samplers and this one has an online workshop that I would love to complete. However, I worry that I just don’t have the skill required. This new workshop will hopefully give me the skills and confidence to develop my needlework. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it’s simple tips like the scissors are invaluable to beginners such as myself. I think it’s the very basics that are often overlooked.

Hello Nicola I loved the little black sampler you took to the States. Georgina Caroline Williams. I adore your Hardanger cushion it’s such a beautiful technique. Thank you for the video.

Nicola, so very kind of you to offer us this sampler and tutorials. Thank you so much. I hope one day you release Doris Wood as a true reproduction. It's amazing, and I'd love to stitch it as is. Do you have any history or date on it? It has a Deco kind of feel, especially the flowers.

@nicolaparkman 2 ай бұрын

Hello Marlene - there is no date on Doris’ sampler but I agree with you. It does have an Art Deco feel to it. I hope to release the sampler one day as a workshop but I really do not know when that will be. There are so many skills demonstrated in the sampler. N x

I would love to see your process on starting a project. Do you always start on scroll rods? Would you start a smaller project on a hoop? Thank you

@nicolaparkman 2 ай бұрын

Hello Rhonda - My first choice is my Millennium frame but I use a small hoop for travelling. If I have a project that requires changing the orientation of the fabric as I work I will use a large hoop and either the Poltoky floor stand or lap stand.
