Stitching while biking? You are my hero.

Hello Deborah, lovely to see your stitchy progress. I think the shaped frame will be a great finish for il pleut ☔️. I’mmaking good progress on Summer abc’s and just ordered the floss I need for Autumn abc’s. Have a great bank holiday weekend.

Stitching on summer abc’s while catching up on your flosstube 🧵🪡🪡 Love your colours and look forward to seeing it finished.

Hi Deborah Lovely to see you and have a catch up. As usual a brilliant video with lots of wonderful things . The little bookcase was just adorable. I remember having a little cardboard bookcase when I was young (I think I can remember that far back) 😂 it had tiny books inside, all Fairy stories, I loved it. The Lego, well what can I say, you are so brilliant with it, loved it. Take care my friend, see you soon. P.s how are the boys behaving themselves I hope. 👵 x

Miss you! Happy Memorial Day and see you next weekend 😊

Hello. What a fabulous Lego collection you have! I keep looking at your temperature chart behind you and think that is the one I need to do. It’s so fantastic and I like the fabric you stitched it on.

Your little bookshelf is so cool! Although I'm sure my cats would keep knocking it over here. 😂

I really like the Hands on Design patterns. They are so cute. The frame you chose for the umbrella stitch will work out well. (I tried typing its name, but auto correct kept changing it-didn’t like the French I guess) lol I love the bookshelf! We did our library branch staff Christmas party doing a similar craft. 3 did a bookstore, and I did a greenhouse. The ladies also found making the books tedious. lol I never finished my greenhouse. It kind of went downhill fast. lol Yours is so adorable. I took pictures while you held it up to show my coworkers and my friend who collects miniatures. For our TD Summer Reading Club at the library this summer, the kids and adults have a chance to win LEGO sets. The kids will read so many books just to enter to win the LEGO. We have 2 sets for our prizes. Every branch got 2 sets. The Lego store is excellent! We have a Lego after school programme at our branch too. Great, fun video! Our long weekend was last week. Our official kick off to summer. Victoria Day. Have a great long weekend this weekend

Deborah! Greetings from Dallas! Fun video!! I love the idea of cross stitching while you’re on a stationary bicycle!! Ingenious!!! Also loved your little bookcase with all the personal items in it. And, as always, enjoy seeing your new Lego sets. It is so cool that you have that hobby that you share with your father. Always great to get your flosstubes!!

I love the new frame for your finished French piece. I can’t wait to see it FFOed. See you next time😊. I really love your bookcase. It looks like a fun project.

Love the Legos! Please show where you display them, it would be great to see.

Have a great weekend Deborah. Your bookcase looks like it was so fun to put together.

What a sweet little book shelf

That French magazine is so hard to find! How much did your subscription cost? I assume you ordered it online directly from the publisher?

Enjoyed your video. Loved the Lego store. I thought of you. My local store, The Silver Needle is having a shop European sale through today. I love it, but I am overwhelmed with stuff to stitch at the moment. 🧑‍🎨

I love the miniature bookcase and the Legos! I’ve seen kits to create little mini bookstores/cafes/etc and I think I’d enjoy the kits but my new home will have very little space to display. Years ago I bought a Fallingwater Lego build and gave it to a friend to build. He did it all in one day and I was amazed! I’ve seen more of the architectural Legos in recent years and consider buying them to build, then disassemble and donate to my library for others to enjoy.

I'm so happy that I found your channel! Your cross stitch projects are beautiful, and I also love the bookcase you made! Very inspiring! The cherry on top...the Lego builds! So fun

I didn't like to read and need a book report finished in a few days. What to do? I got a Nancy Drew book and my mom read it to me. I got the report finished but that isn't all. I started reading and I haven't stopped yet. I can't read like I use to. My eyes won't allow me to. I grew up on Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Bobbsey Twins, and Trixie Belden. When I was a young teenager my dad would be me paperback books that were donated to the people stationed at the Nevada Test Site. Agatha Christie was one of my favorite along with Zane Grey and Earle Stanley Garner. My mother happened to open up one of the westerns and saw some of the language and I was forbidden to read them. What she didn't know did hurt me. LOL

Hi Deborah. Love that nautical pattern. As soon as I saw it I went and found it at Etsy. I’m also reading again all the Agatha Christie novels. Besides Poirot mad mrs Marple series she has also some other series with other detectives. So I’ve sorted them based of the main character and I’m reading them chronologicaly. As soon I’m going to finish the smaller “series” I’m going to read my real love Poirot. Enjoy your audios.😊

Enjoyed your video today! I love the curved frame for your French piece! That is not something you would see every day hanging on someone's wall! How unique! Old books are awesome! I have a couple books, but they're the same book. It's called Beautiful Joe - A Dog's Own Story by Marshall Saunders. One is a small 3.75 x 6.25 Phoenix edition and the second is published by Grosset & Dunlap and has all kinds of motifs on the cover such as Pinocchio (I believe), a cowboy, an Indian, pirates, etc, and says 'Companion Library' in the center. I think this book was published as a kind of group of children's books. The second book also has illustrations. Why I look for these books in antique shops is because in the preface the author says it is a true story about a dog named Beautiful Joe whose first owner was very cruel and mutilated him, and that grabbed my heart...may Beautiful Joe live on.

Hi Debra! So great to meet you at CT stitching circle. I think if you follow your intuition, you’ll come up with the right finish for your pieces! The Hawk Runs are so compelling - I want to do two particularly - the Houses and Shores of Hawk Run Hollow. Agatha Christie mysteries are so great. I have an interesting reading lineup - we will have to talk about sometime! Thank you for a great video!!

So enjoy watching your channel!

The little Mill Hill bicycle (penny farthing?) is so cute. I haven’t done a Mill Hill yet, but it’s on my list. I too don’t cook anymore, lol. If I baked, I would just eat all the goodies, so no baking either. I really like the winter pinecone😍 The lighthouse is sweet. It is a fun souvenir. We just had our county library staff day, and we had a Lego challenge. We were divided into 6 groups of 8-9 people. Then our team had the holders of the design, runners and builders. Design holders couldn’t talk to the builders. The runners had to relay the instructions to the builders. It was an exercise in communication and how best to instruct and then relay information. The designs were small. Only the holders of the design knew what the finished product looked like. One was a small camera, one a small backhoe with a “pile of dirt” . It was quite the adventure. I like the idea of reading all the Agatha Christie books. I listen to them too. I like Hugh Fraser narrating Poirot books. Did you know about the Nancy Drew books being rewritten in the 50s? Many were actually politically incorrect. The newer ones all have 20 chapters. The older are collectors items . See you next time

Absolutely love your channel! Big hello from Belfast Northern Ireland 👋 new subscriber !

Thank you so much for the giveaway! I am so excited to start that adorable kit. I've deleted it from my 123 stitch wishlist now because of you and I'm so appreciative. 😺

Love it all! Please share the AC book that has all of the detectives.🙂 Happy Stitching!

I love the idea of using the "D" frame!

Deborah, thank you so much for choosing my name! We met at the Stitch New England retreat and chatted for a few minutes and I thought you were just delightful. Also, you pronounced my last name just perfectly! I always enjoy your videos and your stitching is just beautiful. Nice to go to a brick and mortar shop once in a while, isn't it? I like to tell people that back in the 80s, I lived in Indiana for a few years, and in our tiny little town there were three cross stitch shops. It was really big out in the Midwest back then! Thanks again for a lovely video!🌷🌷

Hi Debra ( or Deborah). Sorry, I am unsure of your spelling. I am so happy to have gotten to visit with you today. I really enjoy your videos and especially the European designs that you stitch. I am working on Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow, but I love them all and definitely want to stitch The Farms some day. As for your framing dilemma, I would try and find another frame. I thought perhaps a little larger round one. It is such a delicate piece I would not want it to be overwhelmed by the frame. Thank you for sharing your stitching and other hobbies. I will be looking forward to your next episode. Take care.

Keep looking for another frame. There are so many places to look for frames.

Lovely to visit with you this morning. And thank you so much for the patreon shout out. I’m excited that people are signing up to join in the fun.

Oh I can't remember the last time I saw The Farms of Hawk Run Hollow. I like the idea of larger versions.

Hawk run in bigger scale sounds awesome. I was a Nancy Drew reader as a child or Kitty as the Swedish name of that character was :) I did buy a couple of Nancy Drew audiobooks that I really should listen to :) Hope you have a great week!

Love Hades Town! Have you seen Six? It is amazing!

I’m stitching the Village of Hawk Run on 28 count Lugana 2 over 2, it is so fun😊

I love tiny things, but I am becoming more appreciative of 36-count and larger. Doing something so tiny that the details are only visible with magnification seems to be somewhat pointless! I look forward to seeing your Hawkrun Hollow piece(s) in whatever size you choose!

I love the Little House ABC’s. How fun to have them all. I think the Hawk Run in large scale is great. That one was new to me. Love it though.

I love the idea of a hawkrun in a larger size!

The Nubs! I Love Nubble lighthouse! Grateful to live close enough to go in all seasons!

Love your videos. Nice to see some crochet too. 2

Thank you for this very informative video. I have stitched several French designs. I used to purchase all of my European patterns from The French Needle and while I still love her shop, she is stocking less cross stitch designs. I agree that it is the delicacy of the European designs that I love. Veronique Enginger is my favorite.

I love catching up on your stitching! I hope your plumbing woes have been solved. That napping cat is on my wishlist so it's a timely giveaway for me 1

Hello love your multi crafting channel love all the lego just started to delve into it thankyou for showing all your lovely things. Number 1 and 2 x

Hi Deborah another enjoyable video, thank you . Like you I watch Sew me Sarah, she is a lovely person and another very talented stitcher. I loved seeing your cross stitched umbrella project the material you have used is absolutely gorgeous. The Orient Express Lego was amazing, how long did it take you? The crochet pieces were really pretty. At the moment I am crocheting a Christmas Granny Square Blanket in between my cross stitch projects. Take care my friend and don’t work too hard. 👵 x

Hello Deborah, lovely to see your stitching projects especially Summer abc’s. I’m looking forward to seeing this one complete. Fabulous Lego too 😊

WOW! Your Orient Express is impressive! The hours it took to complete that is probably like doing a full coverage piece. I do love the Il pleut.

I always enjoy seeing your stitching and now I am loving your crochet pieces, as well. I would love for you to show more of them. See you soon. 2 😊

Hi Deborah I really like the Summer ABCs. Your English project bag is so cute too. Cute scarves! That version of Persuasion sounds interesting. I might get the Anne of Green Gables when it comes out. The Lego house is so cute. See you next time.

Lovely to see you again Deborah and catch up on your beautiful stitching. I loved Lego as a child so have lived my second childhood via my daughter and it amazes me how much it has changed in the 30 or so years in between! Number 2 😄
