FIRST of all My Dear…..let Me say how stunning You look on camera and photographed….Your Help with the color “Soot” was perfect for my “INTROVERT” project which I am using some stash plus changing up the thread counts usage to give different depth ie scroll….spools….it just fun to have been doing this for over 50 years and just watching new to me stitchers like yourself ie I Love Megan….(I live south of her in Olympia ) as You guide us through making color changes of thread and switching up fabrics…..as we know there will always be critics….Fiber\Floss Police etc……loved the blooper “decision made….that will be the margin”…..one less decision in a too busy world! Cracked Me Up!

@TheMuseumStitcher 9 месяцев назад

Aww thank you so much! Introvert is such a good pattern!

I just recently found your channel. Love it. It makes my heart happy to see you get people enjoying this medium. I’m 53 and stitched quite a lot when I was younger. Took a couple decades off and getting back into it now. Watching from Kentucky and currently stitching a pattern of the USS Arizona memorial.

The autumn project bag is lovely. And I absolutely loved your earrings! Can't wait to see you again.

Oh I was a missin your stitchin! So glad you showed up in my feed today. Glad you’re feeling better. Your finishes are gorgeous. I’m not much of a sampler gal but yours are sure pretty. “Page3Stitches” latest cross stitch video has Ophelia as an FO. She goes a little bit into the history which I didn’t know. It’s beautiful! Thx for showing up. Oh I had a red silk bleed before on a piece and Shepherd’s Bush told me to soak it in ice water and dump ice cubes in it. Keep changing the water out every 30 mins until the stain is gone. I did that and AMAZINGLY it disappeared! Love the bloopers! So sweet. Thx for the video!

@TheMuseumStitcher 9 месяцев назад

Anyway, I just wanted to say you look even more gorgeous than usual, and that I’m blown away by all the progress you’ve made on all your projects. I love that you work on such a wide variety of charts, too. It was great to see Fergus again; he’s such a beautiful kitty!

Hello! I have a couple questions if that's ok :) how are you ironing your projects so the stitches aren't squished, and what program do you use to rechart? I've been using Stitch Fiddle to rechart small changes but if I try to upload a large section the image is blurry. Thank you

@TheMuseumStitcher 9 месяцев назад

Hi! I don't do anything fancy when I iron my stitching! I usually try to iron from the back and use a bunch of steam, and I've never had my stitches look squished! As far as recharts, I only use StitchFiddle, but I don't use the uploading image feature, I do all my changes manually! I go through it step by step a couple flosstubes ago if you need more details!
