Yes, please re a tour! I always love your videos. Your wide range of patterns that you choose always make me smile and now I have to stitch one of the Vivster's patterns. Also, Carolyn Manning's. If I recall from a past video, you only stitch with one hand? You are a fast stitcher! I'm amazed at how much you get done! Enjoy all your time stitching before you have to go back to work. ;)

The variety designers & of ground fabrics is amazing! 52 count? How much magnification are you using? I'm finding, at 71, I need at least 5x magnification over my blended Bifocals... & standing lamps with magnification are usually no higher than 2.5 x... & the 5x I use are readers from Lori Holt. I am amazed at your productivity... it inspired me to better organized. It's now INTENTIONAL stitching. I now have WIP'S & starts on a 4 week rotation (Sunday-Saturday) + sometimes a 3 days in a row stitch if I am really enjoying...a couple on a 2 week rotation & one on a 3 week rotation. Lots of variety; beginning with kits purchased in the 1970's & never started & including newly printed projects! I also add in Year-long crochet project for every Saturday morning! Yes, Cosmo thread is very satisfying to use. I learn about many different floss makers, dyers, colorways by watching you & many of your recommended other floss tubers... (sounds like a potato variety...tubers..haha) I, too, like Varigated colors on blocks of color when stitching! My Quilting is on hold until fall... You mentioned putting labels on the project bags...would love to know how you are accomplishing that task !! PLEASE! I, too, have completed 2 Vinyl project bag stitches, from Shepherd's Bush patterns on 2 Mad for Plaid Project Bags from Fat Quarter Shop. Found it best to knot the Perlé Cotton & still catch the short tail while I stitch. Next one, I think, will be started about 1" below the top, & "centerec" horizontally...for easier stitching at the bottom of the design. It was a fun, new challenge, for me!!! Thanks for you detailed videos.
@Handworkmaniac
@Handworkmaniac Год назад
Thank You Nancy! I have contacts that correct for normal near and far vision (one near and one far). But when I am stitching I wear 3.5 reading glasses and always have a good light source :) Glad you found some 5X readers from Lori Holt, I think I will need them eventually! I love your rotation plan!!! And I love your phrase "Intentional Stitching" :)

After watching this several days ago and diligently searching I found the Jardin Prive pattern at Cobweb Corner so I'm going to stitch along. Yes, it seems to be out just about everywhere and Jardin's website is on pause for ordering for a bit. Not sure what I'm stitching it on either. Thanks for enabling me once again.😂 Enjoy your videos and your garden is cute.

Love seeing all of your finishes, WIPS, & haul. When you stitch on 40ct & 46ct, and do do a half cross or full cross stitch with 1 strand over 2 threads? I can’t imagine stitching on 46ct! You must have super vision. TFS.
@Handworkmaniac
@Handworkmaniac Год назад
Thank You Sue! I have contacts that correct my vision for normal near and far vision. And then I wear 3.5 power reading glasses for magnification of my stitching :) With 1 strand over 2 threads I always do a full cross on 40ct, 46ct, and 56ct.

Oh my, how many finishes you have again!!!!! Eeeek!!! I am really excited to see the progress of that fishing one. I am certainly not into fishing at all, but the scenery just looks so lovely! And gosh, I can’t believe how close to the finish you are now with the Dimensions kit. It felt like it took forever to stitch that right side and then it has progressed so fast. I always love seeing that bit with the sheep and flowers, but those trees are amazing!!!!

The color wheel needle minder is amazing!! I love the new SAL. I might just get sucked in and start it with y'all at Stitch West. Like you said, it's still out of stock on 123 and the Jardin Prive website is currently on hiatus until Aug 6. That gives me a few more days to change my mind and back out. Ha ha. I'm anxious to see what fabric you pick. The mocha doesn't call to me, but I can't figure out what color would work. I initially thought a cloudy blue, but then I think two of the birdhouses would get lost. I thought about a gray, but the sun is up and shining so gray seems wrong. That's where I gave up.

Hi Julie!!!! My hand darted out and grabbed that needleminder before I even knew what had happened!!! LOL I LOVE it!!!! Yay!!! Yes, please join us! I am getting the floss for that piece in the mail tomorrow and then I want to do some floss tosses to see what color would look good. I know what you mean, a blue would be happy and sunny, but it would have to be the right blue. I will let you know what I decide :) Did you pick a fabric yet?
@stitchingatthecabin
@stitchingatthecabin Год назад
@@Handworkmaniac I picked a tentative fabric. It's on the video I just put up a day or two ago (if you want to see it). I need to pull the flosses and toss them around to make sure this is the final fabric, but in my head it's perfect. My head has been wrong many a time.

Hi Brenda Have you ever thought of doing the buy me a coffee link or something similar so that you could raise money for framing? I know I would definitely contribute to it.

I am really wanting to use Sulky Cotton Petites 12 wt. It seems much more affordable for large pieces. I found you by searching for thoughst about the Sulky. My LNS carries it. I am confused because of all the opinions about what fabric counts to use it on. I stitch on Aida, Lugana, and usually 28 count linen. I hope you will help! I will check back on this particular video to see if I get some replies & answers. Thank you!❣
@Handworkmaniac

Hello! I love stitching with the Sulky 12 wt :) In my opinion, if you are using one strand of it, it works the best on 18 ct Aida or 36ct Linen & Evenweave. But I also think it looks great on 16 ct aida/32ct linen & evenweave. And it also looks great on 20 ct aida/40ct linen & evenweave. You could totally try it on 14ct aida/28 ct linen & evenweave, it will still be beautiful, you will just see more fabric showing through :)

Hi!! I think you mean "Peaceable Kingdom" by Catherine Theron. It was a class piece, and I believe you can only get the Chart & Kit by taking the class from her.

Hi, just heard about you from Samantha Hygge Stitcher! apparently she's decided to try to achieve 23 WIPs! I can't have that many WIPs but i love seeing all of yours! I did get inspired to do a Sunday project, and i pulled out a small chart i had kitted up. Do you mind sharing where you get your fabric, esp the 46 count? My closest LNS is seattle and I'm not inclined to put myself through that traffic! Hope you're having a great summer, tho by the time you see this you'll be back to work.

@SarahKingOurStitchingKingdom
Hi Brenda! I’m working on the Electrical Light Parade Mandala as well. Question, how are you remember to do the beads instead of the regular stitches? I started in the middle, so I’m not quite to that point of the pattern yet. Love watching your Flosstubes!
@Handworkmaniac
@Handworkmaniac Год назад
Hi Sarah!!!!!!! I had that same thought when I started! Then I realized that the floss colors that are used for an alternative to the bead, are not used anywhere else in the pattern for the normal stitching. So I purposely did not put those colors on my floss ring (I have them in a separate little zipper pouch in the off chance I need them). So when I go to pull a color and it is not on my floss ring, then I know it is a bead color. I'm so glad you are stitching it too!!!
@SarahKingOurStitchingKingdom
@@Handworkmaniac oh perfect! Thank you so much Brenda! I didn’t realize that. I had put the bead color next to the symbol just in case that I had to stitch the color too. I like the idea of having those floss colors separated on the off chance they are needed. Alma from @almaslittlewonders is stitching it as well, so I will let her know. Are you going to the Crazy Woman retreat in September?

Just loved watching. I can’t wait to visit the two stores you mentioned. I’m hoping to go in August. And question, it looks like you have a lot of Q snap sets. Do you always keep your projects on a separate pair of Q snaps? I did purchase the lapstand you recommended. It should be here tomorrow. But I wasn’t thinking about purchasing a bunch of Q snaps for different projects. I have about 30 WIPs. I have been stitching for about 40 years. I think you and I graduated at the same time. I have always stitched in hand, but with arthritis now, I need to change what I’m doing. Thank you!
@Handworkmaniac
@Handworkmaniac Год назад
Thank You! I really could just have one pair of q-snaps in each size. I can only work on one project at a time, lol! They are easy to move from one project to another. But for some reason I just keep buying a few every year and after so many years I seem to have quite a few, lol!!! It is nice to not have to move the q-snap, but certainly not a necessity to have one for every project :) So happy to meet another 40 year stitcher!!!!!!

I was able to visit Riverview stitching in Monroe Michigan. It is a great store. And because I went in August, all of her patterns and her daughter’s hand-dyed fabrics were 20% off. Needless to say I walked out of there with a large bag of goodies. Ha ha.

@Handworkmaniac
@Handworkmaniac Год назад
Hi Kim! I usually make a list of pieces I want to work on at the beginning of each month and make a plan from there. Some days I stick to the plan and other days I totally go off-plan, lol. But I am goal oriented, so if I decide I want to finish a certain piece or section that month I can usually pull it off. I usually have a few pieces that are at a tedious point so I work on them a little bit every day or every few days. And then I usually work on one of my Catherine Theron pieces on Saturday and some Full Coverage on Saturday as well. And Sunday is usually a dedicated Sunday piece which is Lost No More right now :)

Thank You Melissa! You can find those GiGiR charts at 123stitch.com, and I had the exact same reaction when I saw "The Steadfast Stitcher" using that color thread to stitch a french sampler, I stopped the video and went to see what I had in my stash that was a french type sampler, that I could stitch with that thread!!! When I shop for project bags I am always looking for 16 x 16 with a handle. But I can usually only find 15 x 15 or 14 x 15, and sometimes without a handle. I have made a few myself, but I much prefer buying them, lol!!
