Loved watching. The strawberry and monarch finishes were beautiful, also the other monarch patterns you shared are beautiful.

Your finishes are fantastic! I always enjoy seeing them! I am not a butterfly girl, but the Monarchs you shared are all beautiful! I am looking forward to more about your garden! I am not currently in a position to grow things, so your talk helps to enjoy the garden from your perspective! I am really glad that you're growing Zinnias and I can't wait to hear more about them! I do believe that if I ever have the opportunity to garden again, that I will mimic your approach! Thank you for always opening my mind to new ideas! 💝

I love your monarch! I don’t have that one yet. Also yes it was the Megans (us) who had Amy on our channel! She’s joining us again this month 👀

Thanks for sharing your stitching and garden. So lovely to see both.

So happy to finally catch up with you today - you popped up in my queue to watch later. I was able to get a little stitching on a piece for a swap while watching. You have worked on so many pieces since last time, I love seeing all your projects. I will definitely have to find the Ark book for future reading. It’s great to see your garden doing so well! Hopefully we will get to visit later this week. 😊

Hi Nitya! Those carrots are so cute! Really enjoyed the inclusion of books- added new books to my library requests, which is always a good thing. It’s been a pleasure following along with your garden adventures. I am not a huge butterfly person, but Monarch butterflies have always delighted me. I had the pleasure of visiting a really famous grove where Monarchs clutch- it was absolutely amazing. Thank you, as ever, for sharing your stitching! Your colors are always so pretty and inspiring. Happy July!

All of the monarch patterns are so pretty 🦋

Hi Nitya! I was stitching on the Femurs and Fungi SAL while watching this, and loved seeing all your stitching and hearing about your garden. What a transformation you've made to the garden! Love the effort you're putting into native plants as well. So much beautiful stitching as well! The Menagerie pattern is one I have in my stash but haven't started yet. Someday! I haven't seen many people stitching it, so I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on yours. The mention of residential schools reminded me of an article I read recently that talked about a school in Arizona expelling Native students (in 2019!) for participating in an Apache ceremony. A third student was given a warning and ended up not having her own ceremony because she worried about it affecting her chances of going to college, and the whole experience had a big impact on how she connected with her culture. It was maddening to read.

So many pretty projects. I love your color choices for one dozen quaker So excited to start Sarah’s pattern soon 😍

Love all of your projects! I super enjoyed the garden chat, and am going to see if I can get my hands on that ARK book.

I loved the quote about beading you read out, it reminds me of the relationship Palestinians have with Tatreez. Also when you said every time of the year feels like soccer season I really felt that 😂

I've heard about you on Mariam's channel, and I finally got to you in my list of flosstube to watch. I really enjoyed your video and all the books you mentioned. You have some beautiful projects.

good luck with all your plants.
