Prepping for 24 Hours of Cross Stitch! 

While I can't do 24 hours given my busy upcoming weekend, I'm still going to try squeeze in some progress regardless!

Joy. Go for the joy!

Shoot! I work this weekend, so I can't do 24 hours of stitching! I'll have to schedule a make-up day later this spring.

Heck, don a new start!

I'd put all three options in a basket by my stitching spot and pull out the one that calls to me at a given time me. And there's easy switching if I start to flag.

Rather conveniently I have nothing to do from tomorrow… it appears I’ll be stitching all weekend then! I was waiting for an excuse to start a New Cross stitch project rather than finish the one I’m currently stitching 😂

Oh that is a dangerous thought.. could just do the three adult things I need on Saturday morning and then stitch for the rest of the weekend.. tempting..

As tempted as I am to vote for the practicality of finishing as many things as you can, it's always better to do what you enjoy. Especially if it's going to be a big time commitment.

Stitch the dragon!!! The world needs more dragons!!!

I always love your vlogs, and thank you for the heads up about this! I very much want to participate, although I always work until 10 Friday night, and then all day Saturday and Sunday. My weekends start when I get off work at 10 Monday night and then Tuesday and Wednesday, so I may have to switch it up a little, and adjust the rules a bit. But it would be great to spend some dedicated time on a summer sampler I can’t seem to finish, so it can replace the Springtime one in the same series, which has been up since last spring lol. I love the autumn stories one you’ve been doing, but I think I agree with the majority, it seems, about the dragon ☺️

Oh, perfect timing! I have a cross stitch deadline next weekend (it's a present), so I was planning on spending as much of this one cross stitching as possible anyway! Thanks for the heads up in advance this time, I usually only hear about these challenges after the fact.

I feel like the dragon sparks the most joy, would be a great option for this weekend!

I vote for steam punk world.

LOVE Your Enthusiasm and inviting and saving a place at the table for ALL…I adore cross stitching legacy biscornus for my five GrandKiddos Christmas 2024 gifts from Granny….But You had me at the suggestion of KNITTING …..I so appreciate making your own rules that allows so many to play…..

I vote for working on whichever project you are enjoying until you need a break from it and then stitch something else. You could always do a new start also. I have a few Wips that were Sal's from 2020 still so I think you're good. I don't know how much I'll be participating this time around. I'll be visiting my son in Madison Thursday to Saturday and helping him start to pack since he's moving next week.

I say work on them all, lol! I tend to work on a project for about 4 hours of the marathon and the switch to something else. I have joined on Discord but I have no idea how that all works. I will figure it out I hope! Thanks for the incentive to make this marathon amazing!

I was late for that officially, but was stitching anyways

Hello, lovely lady! I was worried about you. There was no videos..... Until now. 😊 I will join in, but I have to prepare a party for my family.... May be next time :) 😊

I’ll join mentally as I’ll be attending a craft fair in Utrecht in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 this weekend

Work on the dragon!

"as you get older, time starts to fly" - yes, this might be because, as time goes by, we 1. Organize our lives into more routines, and 2. Do not have as many new experiences and do not learn as many new things. So our brains "compress" the memories and make it feel like it's not been that long. Sorry, I'm weird! Yeah, I have not heard of this event. I'm not on Facebook, not because I am "young", but for my own reasons 😅 I have a SAL I am desperately trying to "catch up" to, but not sure I can cobble together a whole 24 hours. And I never stitch with timers. Maybe I'll give it a whirl though, stitch as much as I feel like this weekend, but time it and count up the hours :D

Would you be willing to do a video on setting up your stitching view and simultaneous front facing view for filming? I'd want to use a setup like that for when I start a Flosstube channel. Thank you for all you do!

I vote for what you enjoy…that is a big commitment as it is so do something you enjoy for that time.

I suggest mixing it up. Working on finishing touches as well as making some progress on sth you really enjoy. I rarely pick up cross stitch, though I do like it a lot once I actually get going). So, I'll try to pop in. I have a few things that need finishing touches. I am eyeing your bench design as well as the corner garden. Both really speak to me. So, I guess you got a new member :D I also need to venture around Mastodon a bit more again (maybe the event will be a good reason to get more involved) - haven't done so since I signed up, lol. As I'd have to post from PC (I know they are apps but I don't want too much stuff on my phone as it distracts me enough already; and I hate to type on my phone) I found that to be a bit of a chore. Plus, mental health was iffy for a while.

My 24h of cross stitch tends to derail into 24h of flosstube watching x) Thanks for the update as as try to avoid Fb.

This will be my first time participating in 24 HOCS and I'm all about stitching what I enjoy!! ❤ (When I don't have a self imposed deadline because what I'm working on is a gift for someone) 😂

Oooh, this is tempting. I may stitch along for part of it as i'm also musing about going to a quilt fair and food festival this weekend...ah decisions! As for your project, go with the one you love to stitch the most, then swap over every few hours to stitch a bit of the others! 😊❤🎉

I vote steam punk world =)

I've never heard of this. But would like to try it. I may have to do it longer than three days. I have arthritis in my hands and don't know if I could stitch that long in one day. But maybe it would help get some of my wips finished or at least some good progress. I need to stop watching flosstube videos. I get totally enabled. Now I have to go find the steampunk world. I'll just blame you for it. lol

I think I'll start tracking hours and see how many days it takes me to get to 24.

❤❤❤❤

I vote dragon!

I can guarantee 24 hours of generic crafting, and ERROL always ERROL because a) errol and b) the 24 hours will be done by then, but we are approaching the glorious 25th

I'm going to try to join in on 24hocs but I don't know if my hands will be able to keep up! -Stephanie
