Your fabrics look amazing!!

LOVED the bloopers at the end! ❤❤

💜 Enjoyed your company while I stitched. Lovely projects!

❤❤❤

OK, love your mom's wall---LOVE your dyed aida, and I personally would very much enjoy seeing a video on your process for that. I love dying fabric so much but I think I dilute mine too much. Your fall projects ARE fantastic companion pieces, they couldn't have been better matched! Gorgeous! And that Magic Needle Sunflower kit??! WOW-right up my alley! I love fall and halloween stitching. Thanks for inserting that dye example at the end!

Another fun video, I’m loving all the kits! And your dyed fabric 😍😍😍😍 Your mom has a fantastic wall in her entryway too! I’m sorry to hear you had such a terrible comment, I agree a lot of us are moms and can relate to your love for your children - which is beautiful to see bc sadly there are families out there that doing share/voice their love. Send all the love to you and your family :)

i can tell by your mom's maximalist wall she's literally the coolest person imaginable, dang!!

Watching you for the first time. Coming over from the Thread Gremlins. Loved your projects and your dyeing. Those dyed pieces are gorgeous. I would love to see a longer tutorial on it and combining two colors also.

Andriana has great designs, but their floss is really low quality. You may try Panna or Klart, it's the same floss from magic needle. Also very cheap, but much better.

In Russia local cross stitch kits are kind of low priced. For instance, the Magic Needle kit that you've showed is less than 6 dollars with free shipping.

Some people keep their small pillows in a basket or maybe a dough bowl. I sometimes cluster them around the base of a seasonal vase or artwork. Congrats on the dyeing. I just spent some time doing that but used natural food products-don’t recommend this method as it fades or washes out completely. :(

I don’t get it when people go around and leave the nasty comments. Honestly, don’t they have anything better to do? Don’t like - don’t watch, it’s simple! Don’t apologise for you love to your family - this is normal and so precious nowadays! I am enjoying watching your videos, always 🌹♥️

You be you and don't worry about the negative weird people out there. I always enjoy our visits.

Megan, love seeing the variety of the kits and hearing your reviews on them. So many beautiful designs. Thank you for sharing your dying process, I really want to give it a go as buying already dyed pieces can be quite expensive. Listening to you talk about life stuff is part of what makes your episodes so lovely to listen to. Some people just seem to be the type that have to make negative comments on other people all the time. Ignore them and just continue to be wonderful person you are. 💖

Thank you for the dyeing video! It makes me more confident to try it…. I can’t believe anyone would make such rude snarky comments about your love for your family! Your love of your family is just one of the many reason I watch your channel. ❤

Have a Great 4th of July 🎉 and Thank you for Sharing ❤!!

🖤💙💜

Thanks for sharing all you do with this community! I especially appreciate your kit reviews - it's so good to hear first hand from someone about how they feel, are packaged, etc. I'm glad you're able to transition back to work in a part-time capacity ☀ Have a great time with your kiddos and happy stitching 💜

I do not want to see you apologizing for that woman’s comment or any one else’s comment about negative comments because we are better than that better to be better people knowing we won’t take it and moving on also we have it good with families and support system also love! I love love magic shop something fall/halloween shop finally always in Christmas I have a question I have been meaning to ask for the fabric you want to swap out for 32 count fall still art the floss provided will be enough? Love your video, wips and seeing you having a lot of fun squirreling and finding new things love it!💜🤟🏼

That is so awful that someone would have the nerve to say such a ridiculous, ignorant statement. I’m so proud of you for standing up to her. Love your videos and thanks for sharing your dying process. You’re amazing!!❤❤

I always look forward to your videos. I’m on vacation and I still watched!! lol. As far as your unpleasant persons reply, I just finished a book called The Choice by Edith Eger. She is a holocaust survivor and the book was great. But one of the many things she said was “it’s not what people say that is horrible, it’s only horrible if you believe them” (paraphrasing) I’m sorry and totally do not understand how anyone could not like you and your videos, much less comment something less than joyful to you! I’m a fan! Xoxo

Good for you.

Love your floss tube, Megan! You are so brave to do these really large kit projects! Your progress is so pretty!!!! I absolutely love seeing your family and hearing updates! I am horrified that someone would criticize your love for your daughter! I think it is beautiful to see how much you love your daughter and doing things with and for her! I always loved doing my girls hair and pretty clothes! There are a million floss tubes to watch so there is absolutely no reason to make negative comments except pure meanness…. So sad… As always I look forward to your next video!!!!! Happy stitching ❤!

I'm sure you already know about this but a good way to use those high res images of paintings is to plug them into pixelating programs to make your own full coverage pieces. I'm currently working on tweaking the colours of a favourite painting to make one myself. It's cool because you can tweak the size and amount of colours used, etc. Warning: addictive! And the amount of options is obviously unlimited, lol I'm using Pixel-Stitch btw - it's free!

Do not ever apologize for expressing your love for your family!! You are amazing and so kind to share your stitching, knitting and family with us. I enjoy your updates and hope you don’t let anyones negative comments bother you :) You have a fabulous group of stitchy sisters (your girlies) :) Don’t let the negative nellies get to you. Stay true to who you are, we all love you.

One of the reasons I continue to watch your videos is to experience your consistent positivity and joy. Expressing how much you value your family cannot possibly be a bad thing. Kudos to you for standing up to that commenter with a mature assertive reply. Sometimes we do need to call out unacceptable behaviour online, rather than just ignore it. On a different note, thanks for showing the video of your fabric dyeing. I would like to dye my own fabric but find it intimidating, and your little video made it look possible!😃.

For working with your acrylic wool- use a larger needle, maybe a 24. This will open up the hole to reduce the drag on the thread and the thread should cover up the widened hole 😊

Riolis will send more floss if you run out, but you should be fine

My mum always says, if you have nothing worth saying ,do us a favour don't say anything at all.😁

Your love for your daughter and your family as a whole is part of what I love about watching you. Your kids are lucky to have a mom who cares and loves them so very much. Not to mention that Amira is a cutie pie and deserves all the positivity you can provide. Too many parents don't pay attention or show that affection, you keep doing you (as I know you will) and so many of us will keep watching and appreciating everything you share. Happy Stitching -Kimberly

Thank you so much for the info about your dying process. It’s the best discussion I’ve seen of it yet, and I’ve seen alot!😊 I live in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, which doesn’t have an LNS, and the price of shipping on top of the price of (certainly worth it!) beautiful professionally dyed fabric is too prohibitive right now, so hand-dyed Charles Craft from Michael’s it is!😏

So late to the party again…..have been celebrating 50 Years of Marriage this last weekend on the South Puget Sound…..and You are so RIGHT my Sister…..”Families Are Forever”….ps….been thinking about You getting back to work ….not sure what auto company You are with…but my long time hubby just picked up a new Ford Mustang much to my chagrin❤ here in Olympia…..he is going to be 80 here soon…..what was he thinking?……but the paperwork was a bit interesting with the “hackers” spoiling the process for all….

I am happy you have and enjoy a healthy happy family❤

A damp sponge on a saucer is good to wet yarn ends works well for threading needles.

You are kind and beautiful and so very positive! I cannot tell you how much you happy-up my week when l see you have a new lovely video!!!❤

I look forward to seeing all your progress on these kits. That is a ton of stitching. I'm 52 and I'm wondering how old I'll be when you'll finish them all. 😂 I do love how you talk about the kits, your likes and dislikes about each one. I find it encouraging how you talk about your love for your family. It's good to hear that from a young mom. It's absolutely sweet and I also love hearing you talk about all the hats you knit for your husband. When he wears them it definitely shows he appreciates you and loves you too. Keep doing what you do. ❤

It's funny that you happen to give us a dying tutorial on aida as I spent a part of my day looking up just that. So thank you. By the way, you mention that your husband saves the big yogourt containers. So do I but I just found a place the next town over that makes up soups and meals for those in need and they had asked for large yogourt containers. I was so happy to have a big bag of them to take there and now I'm starting up a new bag. Anyways, take good care and I hope your transition back to work goes smoothly.

That was so fun seeing the different kits! And thank you for the clip of you dyeing your fabric! ❤

I don't have children but I have so much love for my mum and it's so heartwarming to hear you talk about your family. We live in a world with so much pain and we're lucky we also get to experience all these acts of love. Thank you for sharing 💕 You might have also just given me ideas for all of my white Aida and my unused tubs of yogurt, haha 😊

When you use large paper charts, try and tape the back of the chart along the places you usually fold. That will prevent the chart coming apart after much folding. Don’t tape on the front as the highlighter will not “stick” to scotch tape and you’ll loose the mark up. As for other kit manufacturers, have you looked at Luca-S and Letistitch? They’re v good quality, in case you’re thinking of trying them.

Your strawberry house looks great and love that frame. Would like to see a video on dyeing fabric. Have you dyed for example vintage country mocha so it could be alittle darker?. And your husband got you a floral chart for your birthday . Who makes it. Take care Megan❤

Loved your video and hearing about your family. Your stitching is beautiful. Thank you for sharing about the kits, they are stunning. Enjoy your summer with your family.

I LOVE your strawberry hill color conversion! The frame is perfect. I’d love to get your color conversion if you have it available.

When I have paper charts (for knitting or cross stitch) I make a working copy. I find that I feel much more comfortable making notes and taking the chart out of the house that way. I have no concerns about damage or wind taking the page and I can make notes or mark my repeats on the page also. I have occasionally enlarged a section also. You might want to do that and/or have a PDF made to enter the pattern in pattern keeper or whatever program you use for your cross stitch. I really love the colors in the lilac piece - that will be stunning when finished. I will be interested in watching your dyeing process. I would love to buy a large piece of Aida and cut it then dye different colors, depending on what I want to stitch. Your coordinating pieces with the golden look will look awesome together! They will be like soft candle or lantern light. 🕯️ I am so glad that you have this time to relax and enjoy your time with your children. Once you return to work there will be less time but you will still make time to enjoy them and you should. This time will never come again and needs to be appreciated. ❤

Children are the best gift in life!

An interesting and informative Flosstube about various kits available and dyeing your own fabrics. I especially love hearing about your adorable daughter and baby son. Never stop talking about them and showing your love for your precious family. You always make me smile. As a mom and grandmother, I so admire that you share with us your deep love. Ah, I remember those days when my three were little ones too and the joy, and yes, hectic minutes, they brought to every day. You are a wonderful mom.

It’s really sad that there are people who are so miserable that they must project it onto others. Megan never apologize for loving your beautiful family. Fantastic video, as always!! Please, YES do a dyeing video!!! Looking forward to your next floss tube and have a great 4th!!

I’m sorry someone was rude to you. When a person lashes out like that I always feel they must have a really bad life. Your subscribers/friends enjoy your videos and family updates. I am glad you are enjoying this season of your life with your young family. Have a great summer. I am off to look at some kits to stitch.😊

As always a great floss tube. Love that you share you’re beautiful children with us. Ignore the haters, they must live miserable lives

Great video! Loving the autumn prices 😊 I vote yes for a fabric dying video! I would love to see your process. Also an idea for floss cards, I use empty cereal/ tissue/ cracker boxes, just cut whole punch and go, then you don’t need to pay 3$ per price of paper and you can recycle :)
