Your framed pieces are wonderful, and you chose a perfect colour of mat for the hydrangeas. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful stitching, so many lovely pieces. Hope your mom and hubby settle in and enjoy living in VA. Take care, and happy stitching, Arleen
When I saw your video as I scrolled my subscriptions, I just couldn't wait to watch you! I love your mid year wip parade. Your stitching and fabric choices are amazing. Thank you.
Thank you for your video. All I can say is wow! I thought for sure you'd have more small ones in there, but no! When you go for it, you really go for it. Girl!😂 They are all so, so pretty! I can't wait to see the rest of your starts! Enjoy your summer, (it's very hot here this week). Take care and happy stitching!
Thank you so much for watching me and mentioning me. I don't stitch that fast but I do appreciate the encouragement 😊😊. Great video was fun to see all the new starts
Hi Vicky, loved your finishes and your new starts! So many lovely patterns! Some of them I knew or stitched myself like the Kringles pattern. But what amazese me is how you cope with so many! I would get into a panic 😮 ! I had 5 new starts in May for StitchMaynia, and want to stitch on all of them. But I enjoyed watching ! Best wishes from the Netherlands and good luck with your next 31 starts!"😊
Glad that you are back. loved looking at all of your new starts. Now you are going to have a tough time deciding what you are going to work on. Maybe you should just put all of the WIP names on paper and draw one out of the hat.
Thank you so much for the wonderful mention on your flosstube- I really appreciate it. I love the colour of your fabric that you are stitching Elizabeth Weston on, it works perfectly with the thread colours. (I have stitched her and she hangs behind me when I film). I have also finished stitching Kringles, yours is coming together nicely. I am busy stitching on Ann Dale while watching your flosstube- you have a beautiful start. Happy stitching on all of your wonderful wips. ❤❤
Thank you so much, Nerissa. Your stitching is superb! You give me lots of inspiration and I love watching someone else that loves to tackle the large projects. I am planning on joining you in August and September with 9 new starts on samplers. One for every Monday. I am looking forward to it! Happy stitching 🧵
So enjoyed your video. I was hoping to see one soon and you did not disappoint. Love the idea of how many starts in a year. I will retire in a couple years and think I will do the same. I have so many projects I want to stitch and never enough time.😊
What a whirlwind of a summer you've had❤ So glad to hear your mom has moved in and is settled. It is always a joy to see all that you stitch and it always motivates me to get moving on projects as we stitch a lot of the same patterns. Those big girls just call to me, and I have yet to finish one.😊 Lots of loves, oodles of appreciation for sharing all you do. ❤❤
Thank you for making this video, Vickie! You always do such a great job! I have stitched “At Home,” “American Sampler,” and “Humming of the Bees.” While I live in Atlanta now, I have lived in VA - Reston, Chantilly, and Arlington. Good luck on your 62 starts and Happy Belated Birthday! 🧵🪡🎂
I also stitched Summer Delivery in 2023. My horse did not show up well on 28ct. Legacy Lugana, so I outlined it with back stitches. It still doesn't stand out as much as I would like but it will have to do. Yours look great! I have the letter "B" chart and wanted to use DMC 103 but I guess they stopped making it. It is a varigated blue floss without any light blue sections. I have not chosen a fabric yet and your idea of using gray with DMC 121 is a good one.
I always look forward to seeing you and your beautiful projects. You are so amazing. Your choice of projects, floss and fabric are top notch! 62 new projects - WHEW!!! I also have the Lila's Studio "Summer Quaker". Another flosstuber said to be careful on the left side of the chart. It seems the E and R should be switched, which she did. It makes sense. I made a note on my chart. LOVE YOU!!!
Thank you so much! Yes, the friend I know that finished that piece said the same thing. I don’t know why she charted it that way. Maybe it was an oversight.
It is awesome seeing you again. No apologies! Life happens. You have beautiful stitching and gorgeous starts. I LOVE your FFO's. Beautiful stitching and frame choices.
Hooray! I get home from a bad day at work and I see your video. Just what I needed. I love your WIPs, your personality, everything. Thanks for taking the time to film this.
Love your WIP Parade! The patterns you choose are beautiful, and I purchased prairie schooler village sampler, Summer Delivery, and Gigi R letter P! I added Serenity to my wish list.😊 Looking forward to seeing more of your finishes!
Me too! People always seem a bit worried when we say we're going to retire as if we'll just sit at home and fade away. No way! There simply aren't enough hours in the day for everything I want to do. Thanks as always for a most fabulous video. I truly love your stitching. Can't wait to see the next 29 starts.
Hello from NC Vicki! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful needlework with us…all gorgeous! Kind of you to share…you pick such beautiful fabric to stitch.
I am going to be turning 62 later this year, but I don't know about that many starts. I will have to see about it, I probably have close to 62 ready to go. I enjoy watching all of the things you have. The frames you chose look fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
So glad to see you back. I have completed all four seasons from the Cricket Collection. I have one frame I can use for all four. Just a word of caution: decide if some of the letters..especially Spring and Summer….might need a little backstitching to make them stand out a little more. I noticed it after they were framed. Of course it depends on your fabric choices too. Happy 31 more starts. Anxious to see them.
I am also turning 62 late this year and you have inspired me to start patterns I have kitted ( not 62 ) 😅. The floss tube channel I enjoy is the Periwinkle Stitcher who is new and so far has only two episodes - she is amazing!!!!!!!! Love your channel you are so down to earth, an inspiration and wonderful enabler ❤.
I'm always excited to see your flosstube videos... Your pieces are so beautiful... It makes me want to drag out some of my pieces... I can't wait to start Elizabeth Weston
So very happy to see you!!!! ❤ I just love all of your projects. We have many of the same. Of course I had to stop and go order a couple I didn’t have 😊 Look forward to your next 🥰
I really enjoy your floss tube. You are such an ambitious stitcher! I also just pick up and stitch whatever I feel like. No pressure. I has so many interruptions it took me three sittings to get through this #49 but I didn’t miss a minute of it!! I’m working on a big Halloween project. See you in August. Thank you for so much entertainment !
Just discovered your flosstube video tonight and i love it!! Such beautiful projects too. I love the Halloween giveaway. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. 🎃
Hi Vicky. I stitched the Hydrangea piece as well and it is beautiful Lanarte and called Garden Interlude. I finished mine be in 2006 and have it finished in a gray rustic frame. Yours looks great. Enjoyed the video
We seem to have similar taste in stitching. Even with the old ones. Thank you for the info. I never thought I would ever need to know what I was stitching so I didn’t keep track.
I was thinking today wheres the va stitcher. I was going to see if i missed you. Then you showed up and I was so excited. Come back when you can. You get a lot of stitching done! I like your stitching and Lori's stitching.❤
So wonderful to see you again! It's good to see all of the things you have started and are working on. And thanks for sharing your Flosstube viewing recommendations, it's always nice to learn about new ones. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Hi Vicki, another great enjoyable floss tube. I love all your beautiful projects and there are lots that you are stitching that I would love to stitch as well and few of your projects that I have the pattern 🎉so I may join in at some point a same as you ❤keep sharing and inspiring me, much appreciated. Take care and have a great summer filled with lots of stitching time. Warm regards 🌻😘
As soon as I saw that you had a new video, I couldn’t wait to get home from work to watch and enjoy it. Enjoy your summer and all the birthdays that are ahead of you!😊
Hi Vickie!!! Needless to say I’m doing the happy dance!!! Love you Vickie and your awesome work and videos. So thrilled you are here for us. As always everything is beautiful!!!!♥️
Another fantastic episode! I was away from home and saw that a new episode from you was available. I could hardly wait to get home and watch you. You have such a flair for choosing the right fabric for the charts you stitch on.
Hours before uploading your flosstube I checked to see if I missed your videos. Glad to see you again I’m really sorry about all the health issues you went through. I hope you’re much better now. I’m super glad that this floss tube is more than 2 hours. It was full of exciting projects & beautiful stitchery. I’m truly inspired & grateful ❤
It was so great to see your video pop-up I was so excited!!! Please don't stress about your timing on these videos your human and have lots going on in your life I'm sure. Your projects are always amazing and beautiful. Return whenever it is good for you and Happy Stitching!
Great to see you again! I agree with you that sometimes starting is the hardest part. I find it difficult to finish also, usually because there's only backstitching left and my motivation has gone on to the next project. 😅 Lucky that I really enjoy the bit in the middle. 😂❤🎉 Looking forward to seeing your progress though the 62 starts. Thanks❤
Whee a real treat! A Vikki video! Where's my special tea? I am spending the morning with Vikki. The do not disturb sign is up. Now for a couple of hours of pure pleasure and indulgence. I love that Lugana platinum you showed so I am getting a yard of that for a couple of projects. On my screen it looks a little pinkish. We shall see when it arrives. Hugs and love
Thank you so much! It is fun having tea with a friend and stitch. I am pleased you invited me along. The platinum is a beautiful neutral that works for many patterns.
I love your stitching! I am doing a lot of the same stitching as you are. I, too, was born in 1962 and turned 62 in January. I started "A Sampler for all Seasons" on my birthday and finished it not too long ago. I love watching your videos and I always look forward to the next one! Thank you for taking the time to make them. :0)
So glad you did a video of your new starts. Beautiful choices. Can't wait to see the 2nd half of your new starts. I am like you in that I almost ALWAYS use 2 threads. I stitch and stitch and then I stitch some more. Been retired for 12 years now and I will never retire from stitching. LOL. Lovely stitching. 🤡
I was so excited to see that my favorite flosstuber had posted another amazing video. Thank you Vicki for showing all your great starts, now I have even more patterns to add to my wish list….😉❤️
Thank you for taking time to share your awesome video! Your FFOs are beautiful! I think your TK patriotic piece will look great on the oatmeal fabric. I look forward to seeing your progress on all your starts. Have a great rest of the summer!
Hi Vickie, so good to see you! Your framed pieces are so lovely, you’re a wonderful stitcher. I just finished a Kathy Barrick piece called Peace on Earth. I love it and can’t wait to get it framed. I’m a monogamous stitcher and I live vicariously through you with your wips. Your fearless! Great video and don’t apologize for being late, I usually watch your videos a couple times each anyway. You give us so much yummy content. Have a great month❤️Diana
I've watched you for a long time. I thought I'd better let you know that you're one of my very favorite flosstube videos to watch! When I seen you on RU-vid I was super happy!! 🥳🎉😂 I love that you share everything you use! That's important to me because I'm not sure what to use sometimes. Love the Glacier fabric that you used for This Is The Day! It's beautiful! Thank you for all you do. I appreciate it very much! ❤❤❤❤ I love that your videos are long! Lol
It was good to see you back! You are stitching on some amazing pieces! They are all just beautiful! I think you're one brave lady to be starting 62 new things this year 😂. Hope you're enjoying each one of those lovely new projects. There didn't seem to be one small project in the bunch 😂. Speaking of Christine at Hollis Hands Create (such a great stitcher and flosstube channel!), I believe she announced your name as a winner on her most recent flosstube! Check it out, if you haven't already😊
Spent the night with my newborn, and was so excited to see you post this video. Can’t wait to get back to my stitching once I have more time, lots of beautiful WIPs in your video!
Hi Vicky! I hope you are fully healed! I enjoyed your video! So many beautiful projects and FFOs! Happy Birthday to all of your summer babies! I know you are happy that your Mom is now living closer! A new to me Flosstuber that I just started watching recently is Stitching by the Shore (Laura). Happy Stitching and enjoy the rest of the summer!
Glad you are back great floss tube..I’m stitching on Sampler of all seasons to.That was so nice that lady gave you Queen of Freedom I have stitch her Can’t wait for your next floss tubec
Hi again Vicki, it’s me again! First I am so sorry you hadn’t been well. As I told you awhile back about my eyes and not being able to stitch, so I haven’t been to Liberty Hill. Vicki I must tell you again your projects are simply gorgeous! Your choice of fabrics are always stunning, just amazing on how well your stitching shows up on them. Take care until next time.😘
Vicki- I love your stitching projects. You were influential when I first started to stitch so my projects reflect yours . Working on Oh My Bird right now. I’m 73 and will never ever get to all my patterns - I treat the patterns like good books! Thanks again
Hi! Like your idea of treating patterns like good books! I think of them as collecting artwork too. I am 70 and I also was stitching Oh My Bird! I haven’t seen too many other projects of that. I finished it in April. Really enjoyed it. Have to post it on Instagram one of these days🥰
Hi Vicky (I actually wonder how you spell your name and hesitate every time I type it....) thanks for the video, lovely to see you again and all your hard work. Your framed pieces are gorgeous! I had no idea one could get such great work from HL! And happy birthday year! I am in awe of your industriousness in starting 62 pieces in one year while still working on existing projects and finishing things to boot!
