Very beautiful pillow. Great stitching as usual. I am feeling much better and back to a bit of stitching myself. Happy stitching Hello Donna!! Patty

Wonderful to see you Dena, and to see Donna again too. I love hearing about your plans and I think that this new plan is a great idea. I love, love, love your Pandemic Pillow. It's beautiful! That was a great idea to stop it where you did and turn it into something else. I also love Winter Arbor and the frame that you chose for it. Thank you for sharing your your WIPs and plans with us. Have a wonderful time at the retreat Hugs to Cocoa and Happy Stitching!

Love your pandemic pillow! Winter Arbor is gorgeous as well. Happy Stitching!

Your pillow with the Pandemic sampler turned out so pretty too and it looks great on your bench..Love it! I enjoy your flosstube so much Dena I hope you continue to make them for many years to come...Thanks you.

Love your pillow finish of the pandemic sampler. Oh, dena, your framed drawn threads winter piece is lovely. The frame compliments your stitching and beading so well. Thanks for taking us along on your thought process to include your series stitching. I cant wsit to see how you incorporate those into your stitching. 😊

Your pillow (Pandemic) turned out so great - love your choice of lace you used!!!!! 🙂

Your Sampler for All Seasons is stunning!!!!! Finished up real nice!!!! Looking forward to seeing it FFOed!!!! 🙂

Your Pandemic pillow is beautiful and so is A Sampler for All Seasons. Well done. Hope you had a great time at your retreat. Happy Easter.

Your Pandemic pillow turned out beautiful! Thank you for sharing your plans and how you went through your series items. It made me realize that I have a few series that I've done one of and then forgotten to go on to the next one yet. Happy stitching! - TaMara

Your Winter Arbor is so pretty!!! I think the frame choice was right on!!!! 🙂

Congratulations on your finish. I squealed when I saw it! I even made my husband take a look. I hope you enjoyed your retreat. Happy stitching this week 😊

Hi Dena. Your pandemic pillow is beautiful. I love it sitting on your lovely bench. I hope you have a very happy Easter with your family.

I loved hearing how you processed your planning of your projects/new starts with all your challenges! Thank you for sharing that! As always your work is stunning and congratulations on your Pandemic pillow and Sampler for All Seasons finish!

Your By the Bay is so beautiful!!!! Looks more like a painting!!!! 🙂

Your pandemic pillow came out beautifully ❤hope you and our have a really nice Easter. Look forward to seeing you soon.

The pillow finish is really beautiful, congratulations x

Your pillow came out perfectly! I like the On Tomato 🍅 project. Can’t wait to see that finished 🦉🤗🛎️

That was a great video. First the pandemic cushion, that is perfect and beautiful. Than the sampler for all seasons, that was a favorite project from me to see growing. Very beautiful. And than the trees one with the beads and silver, I forgot that one. But awesome. Have a great Easter.

Your allseasons piece is fantastic! Congratulations on your finish and all the other accomplishments this month. I've fallen behind in all my goals post cataract surgery and a quilting retreat. I'll make up for it sooner or later, but not being able to for a few days makes stitching time more precious

Beautiful fully finishes and finishes . Love your channel and thanks for sharing 😊

Hi there, your pandemic pillow is gorgeous! You did a wonderful job. 2 side pillows in that beautiful blue velvet would be stunning. It’s just a thought. Thanks for sharing .

Hi Friend, Wowza on the pandemic pillow!!! I think it looks like a very expensive tapestry!! It's a showpiece for sure. I appreciated your candid discussion on the series pieces. It's so easy to do a piece or two and set them aside. I'm caught up on all my series but I've been really picky lately with onboarding to any new series. The tiny towns are keeping me busy!

Hi. Great job on your pillow. Hope you two had a great time at the retreat.

Beautiful pillow finish. I always enjoy visiting with you 🧡🧡🧡

Your Pandemic pillow is so pretty! And, finished! Love seeing all your progress. I found it so interesting how you plan for new starts in a series. When I look at patterns, I don't always like the whole series, so I just treat them as single projects. My exception this year is Satsuma Street Oology Easter eggs and Snow Village by CCN. I also try to kit up when I get a pattern, stick in a basket, and it's ready to go. Thank you for showing your thought process. You always have such great advice and ideas. 😂 Happy stitching!

That pillow is fabulous!

Beautiful Pillow Finish!!!

Wow your finish is beautiful! Looks great! You definitely have been busy! Be back in a bit to finish watching, am mKing bread

Hello Dena thank you for the information much appreciated

Thank you for another lovely video. ❤

That pillow...Oh my goodness. I think I would probably be pretty picky about who would lean on it!!

A beautiful finish Dena.

HELLO DONNA!!!!!! Great to see you again!!!! Hope all is well with you!!!! 🙂

Wonderful stitching and finishes. Loved hearing all about your plans. Hope you have a fabulous time at retreat. Hi Donna - good to see you again. Happy stitching. xx

Your pillow turned out amazing!! I'm also working on the vintage Christmas ornaments - I pretty much only work on them on Friday's and I'm making really great progress considering. I think it's because, even though it's full coverage, so many of the stitches are 1/2 stitch. My goal is to have them finished and on my tree this year!

Hi Dena! I know you are glad to get that pillow finished and it looks lovely! Today I am celebrating my 70th birthday! Happy Easter! Take care.

Hello Dena the Pandemic pillow is beautiful so good to see it completed. A beautiful bench . I am working on Autumn Hawk Run Hollow on 40 count hand dyed linen with tea and cinnamon. Love the Winter bling. Love Christmas Parade so adorable. Another beautiful finish the four seasons. I am considering purchasing the Pandemic chart as I have been so inspired by your work and finish would you mind telling me the floss colours you used. Happy stitching and enjoy the retreat.

Finally back and had to say I am trying to figure where my totem side ends and background is as I am doing background 1 over 1 and totem itself 2 over 1. So have been trying to see where I can use 1 or 2 threads thankfully I am on second from last page to end.lol whewwww. And thing is who will notice edge being 1nline thinner. Lol noone. My priority is getting this full coverage done. Then have 3 others in the back waiting but when done this I am doing a regular one for me. Lol. Ohhh sampler for all seasons is fantastic! Think I may look for that pattern, not like the list of wants isn’t long enough but like you love the sentiment and it can stay up yr round.❤

Every time I see 13th Colony, I am blown away at how beautiful it is… an curious, but what are your plans for finishing due to its size? Enjoy your retreat!

I love that littlebunny,can you tell me where you found that pattern and who is it by.TIA

Hi Dena...Can you help with a question I have? I recently purchased the Victoria Clayton silks for Halloween at Hawkrun Hollow, first time user of any silks. Question is do I use 1 strand as I would when using DMC thread, I am stitching this on called for fabric 40 count Legacy.

What kind of fabric are you looking for?

Your Pandemic Pillow looks great. Yes, stuffing pillow forms can be a challenge, but the results are worth the struggle. 🪡🪡🪡

Hi Dena, Loved seeing your Pandemic cushion - you definitely made the right decision to stop and turn it into a FFO. Hope you enjoyed your retreat. I was at the Scottish Stitching Retreat over the last weekend and had a great time meeting up with old friends and meeting new ones
