I love it when you go shopping! I can’t begin to imagine what it would be like to have A&T in my vicinity. Its great to “see” what’s hanging on the walls. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the tour of Acorns & Threads. It looks like Avery nice shop. I wish I lived closer, there are no shops even close to me. Love your stash enhancement! Marilyn
I just love you Anna you brighten my days , I’m from Australia and will never be able to visit all the quilt and stitch shops you show in your videos, I’m in Aw , thank you so much 🥳
Listening to you is like looking into a mirror. We are so much alike in many ways. I worked nights on a desk on a couple different floors and I was a zombie. Got on days as soon as I could. And, I like all the same quilting you do and dislike paper piecing for the same reason. And, I jump into new projects with both feet and my eyes closed. My first quilt was a king size needle turn applique and hand quilted. It was American Indian designs so I my quilt design included geckos across the top and bottom and bear claws up the sashing. Applique is my passion. Love your chats. Beautiful table topper.
Anna! I took your advice and slowed down the video during the tour of the shop, and it worked perfectly! No motion sickness! It was lovely to see the shop. Thanks for sharing your haul and the tip about doing one thread a day on a project. Have a great week. Blessings and take care.
A thread a day, thats such a great idea and I really liked the getting your needle ready for the next day. I'll be visiting my granddaughter soon so will be checking out the new Acorns!
Such a fun place to visit! Wish I lived close enough to actually go there. Love your plant kindness chart. That is perfect! I wish we had these type shops here. Love the “I will cut you” kit. That’s so funny! It’s always fun hanging out with you. Enjoy your week! 💕🧵
I love your trip to Acorns and Threads. I can't wait to go myself. You're so right about going to an experienced framer. Your Plant Kindness might have to be on my stitchy list too.
A&T is 2 hr 11 min drive, barring traffic. We were going to go there and to Starlight Stitchery in March of 2020, but 'Stay Home, Stay Safe' (lockdown) occurred. Maybe next Spring, or Fall this year. Gotta save pennies, again.
I wish there wasn’t the whole Pacific Ocean between me and Acorns and Threads! That shop is amazing. Thank you for showing it. Your videos of shops are so inspiring, and you’re the only person I have found who has a really steady hand with the camera - most people’s videos make me seasick - not yours. Keep up the good work!
You looked so cute today........your hair was darling and your shirt great. Also, thanks for the trip thru Acorns and Threads. I would like to go. Enjoy living close by the stitching shop. Yay!
Looks like you had fun Stash Shopping - Good for you. I love love Lugana Fabric. I use this for my Heaven And Earth Designs Projects. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️XX❤️
The tour of Acorns and Threads was fabulous! Thanks so much! Also love the thread a day idea. Next video can you take a before photo and show and then show how much progress you have made on your three thread a day projects? That would be awesome to see. And yes, I do agree that Christy, JavaGirl, is an awesome finisher and has the cutest ideas for finishes! Happy one thread a day stitching! P.S. Take a look at my WIP Maynia stitching on my FLosstube. Stitching Scottie , Dottie
Great video Anna! It is amazing how space created and without too much more stuff can look like more stuff (??). Everyone knows your name!! (song). Thanks again! Sandy
Anna, I enjoyed seeing A&T’s store last week. I agree that the extra space in the store is wonderful. I picked up a red sampler they framed for me. The frame Jeanne suggested is perfect and I enjoy seeing my stitched piece fully finished and up on the wall. Your idea of doing a length of thread is a good one-I am also part of a SAL that does 25 stitches every day on one WIP. That is how I got the red sampler done. I along with you and many others are so enjoying Spring. All the flowers seem extra bright!! I have been enjoying the warm dry days. I know we need rain but...I do enjoy sunshine.
I watch your Stitch Roadies even though I am not cross stitching. I did catch myself purchasing some 14 count recently though and wondered why I felt like I had been sucked into an upcoming rabbit hole. More than likely this won't happen 'til later in the year though as I am currently doing "Spring Brook Blossom" BOM with Coriander Quilts. It is garden time too so life has speeded up with this lovely weather (although we are badly in need of rain!) we've been having. I'll live vicariously through you for a while...XO
Acorns and thread looks like a beautiful shop. Thank you for sharing. I like your idea of threading a needle and taking a stitch, leaving it ready for your next time you stitch. I do this same practice when binding a quilt. At one time, I would thread several needles at one time, I may go back to that practice again. Happy Stitching! ❤️❤️
Anna, thank you so much for the tour of the expanded Acorns & Threads shop! I have been doing my Pandemic stitch everyday since January 31st... The start of the 100 Day Project. It is the final 10 days now, and I use the same strategy as you have been!! I always finish at least 1 length and before I put it away for the day I anchor my new thread for tomorrow! 🤗 The Pandemic sampler will go for a long time yet though!!! In 100 days I made it to page 4🤣
Loved seeing the new improved Acorns & Threads. Wish they had an internet sight. The closest shop I have found near me is 6 hours away. I want to stitch “When you fall”. When you showed it months ago I screenshot it. Then you got home and showed you had purchased it. I laughed so hard. I have tried to find the chart online.
" Told in a garden " patterns have a number of designs that incorporate amish quilts . You might enjoy them !!! Happy stitching 😊 Blueberry homecoming is one of my favorites !
I was eating dinner when you said you weren’t going to buy anything at Acorns. I almost choked!! Mischievous Stitches is doing one red thread before bed and has a red work sampler half done. It really does work. Can’t wait to see your framed piece.
I can’t wait to get down and check out the new expansion! I started my StitchMaynia last night. It was late when I realized I hadn’t started anything as I had planned. So I went thru and found a chart, then realized I had pulled a natural linen and had a white that I wondered if the cream thread would work on it. I decided I’d compare the thread count if the natural. Well when I unfolded it not only had had done a very little bit on the piece already but my favourite bee needle minder was on the linen. I thought I’d dropped it and that maybe it had found something metal to attach itself to like the one you lost in Penny. I hope you find yours soon. Now I’m looking for my seam ripper I was just using it and it’s disappeared!
@@stitchroadie4076 no, I haven’t seen you since you bought the floss or I’d checked. I found the seam ripper just after writing that comment, it’s reunited with its guard and back where it should be.
There is something very comforting about going to a favourite quilt store and being warmly recognized and welcomed at the door. Like going to meet an old friend.
Thank you so much for the tour of the shop. It is my LNS too. I haven’t hD a chance to go since the expansion. Hopefully it will be in the next couple of weeks. Have a great week. Love the one thread a day approach.
I never use any of the big box stores for framing anything. They offer 50% off but I’ve found their 50% off total is higher than the cost at my local framer. Also, you don’t know how well trained the big box framers are.
Hi loved the trip wish there was one close you looked pretty today have been mowing an planting flowers waiting this week to put out my vegetable going to rain hard
I do miss the stash show after shopping and can’t wait for those days to start again. My shop is finally opening back up for appointments and my friends and I are already planning a road trip for shopping and lunch. Lunch is where we’d sit around the table and everyone would bring their bags and show what they bought. I love watching you shop at Acorns and then show what came home with you. 😉
I've heard about a thread a day. Michelle Bendy Stitchy is doing 25 minutes a day on a particular WIP. She has accomplished so much. Either one would be good to try. Love your trips to that store. I want to go there. Lol
