Loved your parade of lovelies. I had a MAJOR milestone birthday in '22 and decided that if I don't majorly increase my WIPS, the odds are that a huge number of my beautiful patterns will never get touched. That saying of too many WIPS, too little time is very true. So -- Do I want finishes? Oh yes - my framer and I are becoming fast friends. But I've had a total change of outlook. I'm truly enjoying just picking them up. If I finish, I'll consider that a bonus. So just enjoy every stitch you make and try to not even think about how many WIPS you have. (Not that you asked for my thoughts, but there you are. LOL!) Steph
I know I shouldn’t worry about having so many WIPs and I should just have fun stitching what I want, that’s the kind of advice I need to hear sometimes! I have a feeling the winds will change and I’ll end up on the path of many starts soon enough! I just have to give “discipline” a good go for the month of January before I run off the rails! 😂 I love your advice, keep it coming 👍☺️💕
So glad to see you and somewhat yourself. I lost my mom when I was 23, it’s so hard, even 30 odd years later. I’ll still send some prayers your way. I adore your beauty and beast. Can’t wait to see it done. I hope to meet you at the Queen City retreat! Your videos were the first flosstubes I ever watched. I now rarely use a paper chart and I make my own floss drops too!
Oh I was so upset when you said that would not be a chatty video))) I like you talking about your feelings and reasons behind your wips. Will be waiting for further videos))
When I grow up I want to be like Katherine with 83 WIPs. LOL. I’m totally kidding. My friend, you do what you want. It’s amazing how the new patterns come along and the older ones seem to get forgotten yet we still want to stitch them. If only there was more time and this was a faster hobby. We have several dimensions kits that are the same. Reach out if you ever want to work on any of them together. Not that we will finish, but we will have some motivation. 💜 elisa
You always make me laugh with your comments! 😂😂 I sometimes wish it was a faster hobby, but then I wonder if it went faster whether I would still be as interested in doing it! Yes yes yes, I would love to work on a Dimensions kit together! Let’s connect over the weekend and decide on one. ☺️💕
dancing turkey 🤣🤣i love all your WIP's! cant wait to see your progress on all of them esp teddy bear gathering. its one of my unicorns that i finally managed to get.
You found it, that’s wonderful!! I love teddy bears, and that’s one of my favorite Dimensions kits… although I think I say that about all the kits I’ve started! 😂😂
Absolutely *loved* this!! The pace ar which you showed at everything was awesome. Sometimes WIP parades can be so drawn out, but I loved every minute of yours! Since I just recently found your channel, now I want to go back and watch some of your older videos, too! Great job!!
Thank you so much for the kind sweet comment!! I struggle sometimes with the pace of my videos and I sometimes do talk a little too much, lol! I tried to keep this video on track, so I’m glad you liked it! I hope you have a very Happy New Year!
@@NeedleberryStitcher Happy New Year!!! And, please, never worry about talking too much! I think half the fun of Flosstube is getting to know the makers! 😊. It’s only for WIP parades that I like the speedier pace - ONLY because there’s always so much to see! So much enabling goodness!! Lol!
I was definitely trying to get through them quickly! It was actually my second time filming it… the first time I talked way too much and it was over 3 hours long, so I re-recorded it and talked a lot less!! I also forgot to show 3 WIPs, oops. My next videos I will talk more. Your videos are still my favorites, I could watch you talk about cross stitch all day! Have a Happy New Year!
Fantastic WIP Parade and always great to catch up with you! Mirabilias and Lavender and Lace patterns❤️❤️. It's wonderful that Marilyn Leavitt Imblums daughter also shares the same passion for design like she did. I've also got a soft spot for Paula Vaughn . A Tisket a tasket is part of my plans for my 60th birthday next year. HAPPY NEW YEAR!🎉🎉🎉
@@thesteadfaststitcher The silk conversion, oh that’s going to be so gorgeous done in silks! I’ll want to see your work on that for sure - and everything else you’ve got going! So much eye candy in your videos!!
Great WIP parade and like so many others, I think the dancing turkey butterfly should totally be a thing 😊. I also perked up when you talked about the Atlantic sampler, I’ve seen that pattern countless times, but had no idea it was the Anne of Green Gables house, I’m on the other end of the Island, but I drive by it a couple of times a Summer when my friend and I do the yarn trek, one of these days I really need to stop and go through it 😊
Great video, I love all of your projects. I don't have very many WIPS actually two large pieces then Christmas ornaments, I love Christmas. This last year I finished my first Dimensions kit, Yoda, he took me one day short of 4 months. He is framed and hanging in my son's theater room. Santa brought me two Dimensions kits this year, I have started one and am almost half done. Thank you for the parade. Happy New Year.
Enjoyed your parade, Katherine. The dancing turkey cracked me up! Maybe going through your wips when you feel the need to start something will keep you motivated? Regardless, you do you to keep you happy with your stitching. Have a happy and safe new year. Take care and thanks for sharing.
Love your parade. I watched your video while working on lost no more. For such an old kit I have now found 3 flosstubers working on it also. So 4 of us I have seen. 😊
Lost No More is definitely one of my favorites! I’ve seen Brenda (Handworkmaniac) and Colette (Highway Stitcher Colette Kingsley) both working on it, have you seen others as well? I love seeing people working on it! I’m sure you are much further along than me! ☺️ Happy New Year!
Wow so many wips i love the o kitten tree and will try to get that. I'd love to see some finishes you have some amazing pieces I really liked to see them all
Hi Katherine, I love a good WIP parade! Yours was great since you have so much variety! I can’t wait for your plans video. Have a wonderful couple of weeks.
Loved seeing your WIPs! It’s interesting to compare the faces of the different designers for your “fancy ladies”. Bravo on the number of WIPs that you maintain….I’m basically a monogamous stitcher who is trying to pretend my 20 cross stitch/quilting WIPs are causing me to sweat…😂
I long for the day when I can get my WIPs lower! I know it doesn’t look like it but I was a monogamous stitcher for 20 years… then one day I started a second one before finishing the first one, and you can see what happened after that!! 😆
Everything was so beautiful just keep on Stitchen as the one people say on sew on Wednesday I think it’s her name of her RU-vid and she does a lot of lavender and lace one stitch at a time It will get you there. Happy new year.
Absolutely lovely ❤ I am new here, I am so inspired by all your incredible WIPS I am so glad I am a subscriber now. Your collection of Dimensions is incredible. The detail work on each one…I am inspired totally. Beautiful ❤
Thank you SO much for watching and subscribing! Your comment means the world, so appreciate your kind and sweet comment! I hope you have a very Happy New Year! And happy stitching! ☺️💕
So many beautiful projects! I, too, love black capped chickadees, so it is nice to see your wips of them. You are super close to a finish on some of the small pieces. Yea! Happy New Year.
Hi Judy - so sorry you got spammed here in the comments, not sure why people do that it’s very annoying. Thanks for watching my video and leaving such a nice comment! Black capped chickadees are the sweetest birds! I hope you have a very Happy New Year!!
I was happy to see you working on "Feathers and Friends" as that pattern has been calling my name. It reminds me of the story of my Grandmother from Slovakia who's job was to tend the geese. I think the coloring of the woman resembles her. I hope you can put a few more stitches in that one. Thank you
So glad you like that pattern and it’s nice that you are considering working on it! The colors in it are very vibrant. Very interesting that your grandmother tended geese, that’s neat! ☺️💕
Watching in February but as soon as I heard you grew up so close to Green Gables I hit subscribe haha Glad to see another maritimer on here ❤ this was a great WIP parade!
Loved seeing all of your projects, especially the ones that made their debut! Now i really want to start a paula Vaughan!! Thanks for sharing! Ps. I hope "chatty" kathryn makes an appearance in your next video! 🤣🤣
As I was watching your parade I kept thinking " ohhh that one is my favourite"...then I would see another and be like " nope, that's the one, I like that one the best" by the time I got to the end I had seen so many great projects I couldn't even pick a favourite!😆. Wonderful WIP parade! Thanks for sharing!😊 Also, I can't believe you got through so many WIPs in just over an hour! I need to learn some tips and tricks from you!😆 Happy New Year!🎉😊
I had to keep reminding myself not to talk too much! The first time I filmed the video it was 3.5 hours long 🤭😂 so I had to re-record it and not talk so much! Happy New Year to you too, and happy stitching!! ☺️💕
@@angieslowlycrafts Oh yes, you know the whole editing nightmare! Your last FlossTube #7 video is on my playlist tonight!! Woohoo! I’m so far behind… hoping to catch up a bit this week!
@@NeedleberryStitcher I have over 70 videos in my "watch later" list. I completely understand being behind!! Thanks for checking out my videos though!😊
I enjoyed your parade. I loved seeing all of your full coverage WIPS, Some I have thought about stitching but they seem so daunting and I don't know if I will ever finish them, yours are amazing!
The process of stitching and even just dreaming about finish the full coverages are enough for me even though I’ll never finish them all! ☺️💕 Happy New Year! 🥳🥳🥳
Holy cow! 83?!? 🤯🤩 That makes me feel good about my 37. Thanks for the parade. You have many charts that I said “oooh I want that”. Have a happy and safe new year!
Thank you for sharing all of your WIPS. I really enjoyed watching your video because some of the projects are not the usual ones you come across in other video's. Good luck on finishing some of them this year! Oh and happy New Year Katherine!
Hi there ! My husband and I love your videos! I wanted to tell you: you DO NOT talk too much!! Don’t let people change you.. you’re awesome the way you are. 😊 Holy cow!! You’re almost 50!?! Darn, what cream are you using?? Lol I thought you were in your late 30’s.. I love all your cross stitch’s I stitch all things- but I grew up on dimensions.. so that’s where my heart is. My husband and I both stitch.. that’s a bit of a story. Have a 🥳 happy new years, and God bless you and your family in Jesus name.. your friends in Canada (Ontario) near Niagara Falls- Jen and Fred.
Oh my goodness, I don’t even know what to say except THANK YOU for thinking I look younger than I am, you might have made my whole 2023 year already and it’s only Jan 1st!! 😂 How fun that you and your husband both stitch!! I’ve tried to get my husband to try it but he says the needles are too tiny and he can’t hold them properly… I’ll win him over eventually!! Have a happy and blessed new year! ☺️💕
I believe I m first time on your channel, absolutely love your projects! Fun how you say this is my start and show half the kit done with hummingbird 😂 never saw bucilla kit with honey, I loved it ❤ probably gonna stalk it now. I totally believe you can get your wip count to 50 since you have a number of smaller patterns. You could focus on them first, to see how many you can finish. I feel like my videos is so much blabbering compared to yours 😂 I cant just show a project, I always tell it’s story and my inspirations
Hello! You have so many lovely WIPS and charts. I am up to 25 WIPS….I stitch 1 Halloween, 1 Christmas and 1 regular, then I rotate through them and spend 3 days on each. I do get finishes and if I want to keep stitching on one more than 3 days I do….I am trying not to purchase anything new and stitch from stash. Happy New Year and Happy stitching!
I find it hard sometimes to stitch from stash when there are so many beautiful charts released and when I see what other people are working on, but I need to try! 😂 Your rotation sounds very manageable and I think I need to do something similar so I can complete a few WIPs but still have options and the choice to keep working on one longer if I want to. Thanks for sharing your process!! Happy New Year and happy stitching to you as well! ☺️💕
Wonderful WIP parade-so many amazing projects! It was great to see some that I haven’t seen before. I sometimes think I should reduce my WIP pile but then I look at all the things I want to stitch and I don’t worry about it. Happy New Year!
As always, I loved seeing all your projects! I admire people who can have so many WIPs and be totally fine with it - I know myself well enough that it would give me anxiety 😅 That’s why I watch people like you haha! Looking forward to watching your plans video next. Happy new year!! 🎉
Oh I have plenty of anxiety about having this many WIPs! Do I hide it that well?? LOL!! I want to get some finishes, I don’t like having this many. I want to work on all of them at the same time…. 😂. See you soon in your next video!
WIP parades are the best! For years I've loved Honey Bee Happening and searched far and wide for the kit (out of print), only to discover that you can buy the pattern itself by Kooler Design Studio. I never see anyone stitching this wonderful pattern. Thanks for all the eye candy.
Thank you so much for watching!! WIP Parades are my favorite videos… but they are also a double-edged sword since I usually end up adding loads of stuff to my wish list!! 😂💕
Love a good WIP parade, you did not disappoint ! Loved all of your Chick a Dee WIPs. The L&L are amazing. When i do the face first I always feel like she's there with me. Don't tell anyone, but I talk to them when there is a face.The steampunk looking one is really pretty. My fav. of your full coverage is Beauty and Beast. Your daughter made a really nice design for you. You must be so proud. .Steps to Twighlight is gorgeous. I'm always amazed at your Stitch an Inch. It's coming along nicely. I really like it better when you talk during your video. That's how we get to know our flosstubers. Thank you for taking the time to do videos. Happy stitching.....Pam
I started doing a WIP Parade video while talking more, and based on how much I was talking it would have been over 3 hours long! I had to start over and talk less, at least for this one… once I have a few less WIPs (next year I hope!) I’ll be able to do more talking! Thanks for watching anyway, I really appreciate all your support! Have a very Happy New Year! ☺️💕
Absolutely loved your wip parade ❤️. You have some beautiful patterns. It doesn’t matter how many wips you have or don’t have. It’s your hobby. You started them all for a reason. They made you happy. That’s all that matters sweetheart. Start them all if you want. It’s ok ❤️. I will always love Beauty and the Beast. I still need to get that one. Actually I made some notes. I need to get a few thank you very much 🤣😉❤️. Can’t wait to hear your plans for the new year. Talk to you soon dear friend ❤️❤️
Start them all… I would love to do that!! I have a feeling I’ll have a whole lot more starts next year than I’m planning at the moment! 😂🤣 Can’t wait to pick up Beloved with you on Jan 2nd! ☺️💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher Me too. I’m so excited to be working on it again and getting some progress on it. Loved the way you did yours. I would get lost 😂😂
As always I truly enjoyed watching you go through all that, I really want to thank you for taking time out of your day or evening to gather all those up and do the video. Your projects are just amazing. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us for 2023 ! Happy New Year and Happy Stitching!
Such a wonderful gift to see you pop up with a WIP parade nonetheless! I’m stuck here with Covid- and your post really gave me some enjoyment! Can’t wait till you tell us all about your 4(?) WIPGO boards! Have a happy end of 3922- and here’s to moving stuff out of the WIP pile in 2023!
That Precious Moments Noah’s Ark is a big one!!! I’m not sure I’ll ever get it finished but I’m not ready to give up yet! 😂 Sounds like you’re not giving up either if it’s been with you that long! I started mine in 2001. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
I am very interested in hearing more about your four Wipgo boards. Love seeing all your projects! Good luck on getting some finishes in 2023. I am sure you can do it.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching my video! I know there are lots of parade videos right now to watch, and I’m so thrilled that you chose to spend some time watching mine! I hope you have a Happy New Year with lots of stitching time!! ☺️💕
Yay for a WIP Parade!! Gonna try not to make this the lengthiest comment in existence, but no promises 😂 I’m also going to be trying to touch all of my WIPs next year, though I won’t be doing WIPGO to do so; the idea of the board sounds great for organizing, but I know it would just stress me out!! Instead I’ll be doing a “Random WIP Weekend” where I’ll let a wheel decide what I’m working on for those 1-2 days, and I’ll pull out any projects that have been stitched off the wheel so I don’t get any dupes before going through everything at least once! Love all of the Teddy bear projects ❤ Bears are my favorite animal, and the teddies are so stinkin’ cute! ALSO I CACKLED OVER DANCING TURKEY! It was so unexpected, I couldn’t stop myself 😂 The comment about “being really good at starting things, but just need to finish them” has never hit so close to home before 😅 I feel so called out, LOL. Sabrina has gotten some amazing progress!! Wow, she is gorgeous, wonderful stitching ❤ I’ve come to the conclusion that Stitch Maynia is great once every like 5 years; anything more than that is asking for insanity 😂 I can’t wait to see your Princess in the Snow start!! Such a pretty pattern! Did you decide which fabric to start her on yet? We need to start some kind of SSMC (or just SS) SAL! I have vague plans to focus on my current one (Tategoto) in 2024. The bear in the bassinet is soooo sweet 🥺🥺🥺 Incredibly adorable!! PHEW! Thanks for the WIP Parade, I love all of your projects and can’t wait to see what ones you pull out first in the new year 😍 I’ve heard a few flosstubers talking about using 2023 as a “Focus on a Finish” year, and thought that a neat idea! I have a few small stitches that I could definitely knock out if I tried, so maybe I’ll join in as well. 😊 Thanks again, and have a happy new year!! 🎊
I think you win for longest comment! 🤭😂 Thank you so much for sharing your plans and ideas, I love hearing everyone’s thought process for how to tackle lots of WIPs! Focus on a finish sounds like a great idea! And your random weekend wheel spins will be so much fun! For the Princess of the Snows ai ended up going with cracked ice (blue/white, no purples in it) because it’s 28 ct and will be easier to fit the beads, also I think the design will stand out well. I liked both, just hard to decide. I’d love to start a SSMC SAL! Let’s chat and see if we can narrow down a theme and eventually a design that we both like! Have a very Happy New Year!! ☺️💕
Thank you for the wip parade very inspiring. I am doing the 12x12 on New Year’s Eve so my 3 wip total will raise to 15 by the end of 23 I will be down to one or two. But that’s the way I roll.
That sounds very manageable and I want to get to the same spot, 10-15 favorite projects and finish them in a year! Well done, and I’m so glad you’ll be having a fun New Years with all the starts! ☺️💕
Could you tell me the artist of Country Mouse City Mouse? I didn't catch who you said. Enjoyed your WIP parade. Loved them all. Looking forward to seeing 2023 progress.
You make me want to drop everything and keep stitching! I don’t know how you manage to stitch so much, well done for finding the focus! May i ask: do you do all your full coverage in full cross? For example, on 28ct do you do 2 over 2 full cross? I’ve just started my first massive full coverage and I’m stitching on 32ct one over one tent and I find it far too small even with magnifying light. Which puts me right off stitching on it. Beautiful projects!
Thank you for the kind comment! When I work on 25 ct and 28 ct full coverage I do one over one full cross. The trick for me since my eye sight is not so good - I use MagEyes! The magnification is excellent and I can see everything quite well. I can understand how 32 ct might be difficult, and I haven’t attempted anything smaller than 28 ct for full coverage. Maybe give MagEyes a try, you can find them on Amazon. I did a video a while back (FlossTube Mania 2022 video about 8 months ago) and did a segment on my MagEyes. Or maybe consider restarting on a different fabric (25 or 28 ct) if you aren’t too far along already. Happy stitching! ☺️💕
Wow great wip parade! New subscriber after watching last one. Where are you living now? I am inNS but married an islander and lived there as teen, my dad was military. Love all the full coverage wow! I am working on a charting creations one now while i decide what ct to restart my one haed.
Hello Maritime friend! I’m from NB, but lived in NS for 6 years when I was young. I love the Maritimes and I would move back in a heartbeat if I could convince my husband 😃 I live in St Louis, Missouri now, my husband is from here. Which Charting Creations pattern are you working on, and which HAED are you planning to restart? So nice connecting with you! ☺️💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher my cc pattern is Guardians of the rainforest. By Terry Issac. A cdn artist. We lived in BC 6 yrs and my hubby chose this. It’s a totem pole with ravens and the raven clan was where we lived. And my Haed that I want to restart is Day night. Love it so much, just have to decide fabric ct and thread count.
Hi Kathryn. Thank you for filming. You've drawn a line in the sand! Great parade, thanks. So many pretty pieces. It will be interesting to watch your progress as I carry on binge watching.😊 PS: I've searched for the Mary's Minis booklet with no luck. If you happen to notice one in your shopping, may I ask you to please let me know? I'd be happy to let you have my email address. Of course, I'll keep searching myself. x ⚘️
Usually I work on just a handful, 3 or 4. I force myself to pick something different to work on once in a while but then end up back working on the main 3-4 current favorites. I’ve lately been feeling like being monogamous for a while, just work on one thing at a time. Doesn’t make for very interesting videos though. ☺️💕
I'm so scared to watch this. My wallet can't handle everything you are going to enable me with. See, just with WIP one, I'm like hmmmmmm...I'd buy that if it didn't have so many french knots. Maybe it's not that bad. Maybe I should just buy it so I have it. Ugh. Oh no. The no count is going to be beautiful, but I need the structure. Don't make me decide where the stitch goes!!!! Stop!!!!!! We have such similar taste. I'm not buying anything!!!! How did I not remember you had Celtic Summer's Needlepaints as well? I paused for a long while on that one so I could see if my dye job for the one I was missing was similar to what it really should've been. I still don't know. I thought I'd be safe with the full coverage section. I'm not looking to start any of those. Then you showed the Vincent Fleming and then you showed the dragon one. I sat on my hands. Birds in Winter!!!!! I want to start A Tisket A Tasket. Too bad Vellum is backordered. Alas, one day. I loved this despite all my whining that you were enabling me. Thanks for sharing!! ~J
You are hilarious!! 😂😂 I definitely prefer the structure in stitching also, we’ll see how the no-count goes! Which Needlepaints color did you dye to match? If I have that one (I think I have all the ones for Celtic Summer) I can send you some to compare to if you like! 👍😃 That’s too bad that Vellum is on back order, it’s hard to predict which PTP fabrics will be available and when… there are a couple that I’ve been waiting on for months, but I’m sure they will be back eventually. Whatever will I work on in the meantime?? 😂🤣 Happy stitching my friend!! 💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher I don't know which one I dyed. I believe the symbol is "s". Helpful, right? I appreciate the offer, but it's too late to do anything about it now so maybe I'd rather not know how well I did or didn't dye it. I hope your PTP fabrics turn up quicker than Vellum has. Ale was another I waited for way longer than I thought I'd have to. I've read the wait times are coming up on a year for PTP!!!!! I'm in the same boat. "Whatever will I work on in the meantime??" LOL!
