Beautiful design and stitching.

I know it’s been a while, but can I ask if you used one or two strands of the metallic for this count?

Just getting caught up on my videos, so good to stitch with you today. I always say if I have a day with no back pain, something has got to be wrong!

Stitching along with you since I missed it when you posted!!! I so enjoy stitching with you!

Is it 24 count? Work -❤❤

Thank you Carla. Lovely to see you again my friend.

Loved watching today thank you for your time ❤ I’m working on Delphine from the sewing shop Canada.

I’m gonna try my best but I don’t think I’m gonna get my 4 pages. I’m just not loving it anymore. It’s a struggle to stitch 😭 But I got about 2K in on my SSMC Grand Library over the weekend so hooray for that lol

I love the way one over one looks. I get entranced watching you and forget Im stitching too lol.

I love listening to you while I stitch i even watch all your older ones and i watch them over and over again even your lives i wish you would do lives again but I do understand i miss you stitching on Riverwalk charm. And i like it when you talk about everything even about pain. When you do start your Christmas one can you please show me how you start a project on a diagonal as I don't have troubles hearing you as I don't hear very well and I learn things slower then some people

I feel your pain... and I'm afraid you can take that literally. After weeks of back pain, they found out I had a broken vertebra due to osteoporosis. I am slowly recovering, but I don't think I'll ever be free of pain again. And I absolutely recognise the taking advantage of good moments and paying for it afterwards. It's hard not to feel disappointed or angry. I'm cheated out of 20 years and intend to get as many of those back as I can. Let's keep doing small walks and small stitches. Take care Carla 🪡🇳🇱🌷

Oh, if that is not something to put on a tile...May all your challenges be stitchy ones 😂.

Are you still working on Grandparents and fireflies, love that one might have to do that if not. Lost my stitchy bug though, crocheting instead I am 76 and I do like to finish things.

Oh my... I can totally relate to your frustration about your back. I have been fighting plantar fasciitis since January and exactly as you said - I can do something on good days just to be punished for a couple of following days. It seems it will never want to stop bothering me. Take care and do only so much you can and try to enjoy what you can do.

I often find myself answering you. Out loud. Like your in the room with me. My dog thinks I’m talking to him.

How can someone in the US get this magazine?

I like your ramblings. Currently, for my channel, I am not talking because it's summer. Meaning my two youngest are home and out of school. One just graduated but she is disabled and will be living with me for a very long time. But I feel like there would be too much background noise for a talking video. But I do plan on trying to get some in when school starts back up. I never did get to see the coronation on TV. I am in America but I think it was very early in the morning for me so I was asleep. Other than that I am stitching Nostalgia Baseball of the Bucilla kits. I plan on giving it to my brother. He likes baseball.

Your work is beautiful! I am learning to do full coverage, even though I have been stitching for years. Is this 25ct? I just love your idea of cropping this.

Hi Carla … I’ve been watching your channel for a while and really enjoy it and your full coverage projects. I am about to embark on my first 25 ct gridded even weave, 2 over 1 tent stitch. I’ve been binging videos and am hearing some folks struggling with the fabric “slanting” because you’re only stitching in one direction and not “returning” to complete the X. I’m wondering if you’ve ever had this problem with your fabric and if so, how do you deal with it? My new start is a HAED called Mini Roses Golden Shadows by Erin Dertner-this is one I’ve never seen anyone on flosstube do yet. Thank you for your videos as I always enjoy them and pick up great tidbits about stitching. Best to you!

I'm in Ayrshire and stitching on far too many HAEDs 😂

Hi, further to my reply earlier, I'm doing Jungle Kitty by Paine Free Charts, it's great, even the stitches fall better, no bulk. Thank you.

Hi lovely! Congrats on the Thomas Kinkade. It looks wonderful. I'm thinking of doing it as well, may I ask in what type of fabric you stitch it?

Loving your Thomas Kinkade finish. I stitched along on my Aimee Stewart, Stitch in Time. I live in Edinburgh. You are not alone there are a few of us here doing HAED's 🤗

Your cats eyes are unreal. What a beautiful blue they are. Loved stitching with you as usual ♥

I love your channel. It's fun to see what you are working on. I looked for the HAED chart A Lady Sewing but could not find it. Any ideas of where i could find it? Do I have the name of the chart right?

Stitching with you on my Amy Stewart's HEAD Beach Combers Bounty. First full coverage currently at 6.75%. Thanks for the video and chat. Your new plans sound great. 😊

I just came across your channel the other day, and I love it! Really enjoyed this SWM. I’m working on Felice by Paine Free Crafts. I have a black and white cat, so I’m really having fun with it. Your cat is beautiful! Thanks for sharing that video of her. Too cute 😊

I'm still working on The Grand Library. Now at 44.95%. So close to 50% 😊. Did have a new start to have a little change. I started the freebie Forest Maiden from HAED. I wanted to do something I could try cross country all over rather than just a 30 X 30 I've been doing. Have started with the black and enjoying it so much. The Grand Libray has too much confetti to try. Didn't think I would like it. The black was a good choice to start with as it outlines everything and is mostly connected. About 24,000 stitches in all. Will be on that for a while. It's given me a fresh excitement I needed. Your cat is adorable 😍 thanks for sharing her.

That is a stunning finish 😍 well done xx

Great catch up with you ❤ I know what you mean with committing to a certain amount a day, I've learned my lesson and put my Lord of thr rings away so I can focus on other things. I think your crop is a great idea 💡 and with the HAED sal I'm feeling like I might UFO mine completely but I'm still not sure x

I always enjoy your stitch with me videos and hearing about your plans. Happy stitching 💜

Thank you for another stitch with me video. I'm working on Fractal-020 by Mystic Stitch. Almost finished (86% done 😊)

Thank you, I enjoyed this session. I’m working on HAED Patron Saint of Green Chile by Jeff Haynie. I’m about 200 stitches off a page finish and am working monogamously as it is currently at 84%. Next up when this one is done I will be working on HAED Alpaca which is around 60%. The village looks quite charming, but the Dickensian WIP would be fun to see.

I’m also having trouble with Astrology Cat. I’m in the same boat. Because I HAVE to work on it, I don’t want to lol You should definitely start A Woman Stitching. I started it but I’m gonna crop the bottom instead of the top. You’re right though, the top does have a bunch of dark colors. I also have Stitcher’s Retreat which I’m gonna stitch as the companion piece. That’s the one Karen Bugg did a few years ago

I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel yesterday! Your voice is so soothing and love listening to your stitchy chat. Misty is a beautiful girl!! My girls also like to try and get into my threads, Bobbi has mastered how to take the lid off. I was stitching on Vibrant Fusion by Stitches Sew Beautiful. Her charts are fantastic, there is confetti but not ridiculous amounts like some of the HAED charts.

This is such a beautiful chart, and I love your progress. I too have way to many charts I want to do and not enough years left in my lifetime to stitch them all. Seeing you and some other stitchers decide to crop and do only parts of the charts has really inspired me to do the same. I stitch most of my full coverage charts in tent stitch just so I can get it done faster. May I ask how you finish your threads? I'm always looking for new and better ways. I find it much more difficult to end threads when tent stitching only because I want to finish from the front and I have a difficult time doing tent stitches on 28 count.

hey! love your videos ;) and love this piece! thank You for working on this, otherwise i would need to work on this myself (and i also have too many project already ;DD so you are my saver and a hero! ) i have so many similarities in "planing" everything and "changing my mind"! yeah... i guess most important is just to enjoy what are You doing and in the end every stitch counts, no matter in what order it has been worked on.. ;) by the way. the easiest way for you to know your percentage on this piece: its just minus 50% from the "current progress" (it should be accurate if you decided not to do half of the chart) ;)

Beautiful!

Lovely to see you back.. x

I enjoy watching your videos your work is so beautiful and I am glad you are back. I would like if you can to give me the name of the pattern with the stitching lady that you want to start in the winter, I just fall in love with that pattern I really want to buy it. Thank you so much.

Love seeing Happy Village but fun to see what you are working on. I am more of a cross country stitcher because I hate sorting through parked threads 😊.

Since you asked, today I'm stitching Tree Frogs, by Charting Creations. I'm also working on the following HAEDs It's About Time (Ciro Marchetti), Fingers of God (Golden Orb Designs) Cotton Candy Dragon and I just finished Beloved (Adele Sessler)

Omg Misty has the most extraordinary blue eyes. She is simply gorgeous! Such a precious girl, and surely a wonderful stitching buddy! I personally think that cat hair on my stitching is a mark of honor, that we are loved by our little furry companions! Stunning stitching as well, as always! ❤

I have an app called Spin The Wheel. I have 3 HAEDs and one by Charting Creations on the go. I added them all to this. When I can't decide, I just spin the wheel. All of my WIPs are getting more love, and it helped me finish a HAED a couple months ago.

Just started watching your videos and I am enjoying you and your stitching so much. The last year I have really been enjoying full coverage and that seems to be what you enjoy doing also. Right now I’m stitching Luca-S Paris in Flowers. I only have two full pages left out of 8.

I love how this one is turning out. Very pretty! I am focusing on my Ginger Cat in July. I'm not sure how much I'll get done because I will have grandkids here for 2 weeks, but little bit is better than none.

Hi Carla, I think I've got an idea for you with the cropped chart. When you upload the pattern again in Pattern Keeper as a new one and mark of the cropped part, you know the amount of stitches and the percentage of that part. So now it's easy to do the math on the real PK chart. E.g. if your crop is 53 % and your WIP is at 63%... you've stitched 10%.

I can’t believe how far you’ve gotten. You enabled me and I’m still in the sky. Yours is looking so nice!!!

This is a pretty pattern. There's a stitcher in Asia with a channel name of "rin" that is only doing a portion of the chart.

Gorgeous finish!! I had a lot of fun stitching along with you. I was working on my Hannah Lynn Montage. I am also Team Cat. I could be wrong but I think page four is classified has a partial page not a full page. You may want to check. It would be very sad to do all that work and not get the free charts. I’m doing Christmas in July right now but I’m planning on focusing on my Cat starting in August in hopes of finishing this year. I have 99.98% of part 1 done and a significant amount of page four. Page four is almost all huge blocks so it is nice relaxing stitching. Happy stitching!!
