Hello. Thank you for the video. Love your Roses and Easter finishes. To answer your question, I watch because you work on a great variety of pieces, and you're genuine and funny. I don't mind dog and life noise in the background! ⚘️
Pleased stitch whatever you would like, don’t worry about what any of us think! If we want to start 15 Miras-we can. Also, if you want two of the same picture, go for it. If you’re just doing it as a demonstration you could stitch a small area or we can just be thankful that you shared the idea and try it ourselves. Life is too short to do crafts on anyone else’s agenda. I am just thankful that you share your crafting with us-whatever that is!
Hooray a finish ! She is beautiful! Your fabric haul was fabulous and you are so correct about they totally different when you look at them online as to when you actually get them. The Beast has totally changed from the last video it's going to be a wonderful piece when done. Hey don't worry about being weird, that's what the world go 'round. Happy Stitching! I can't wait to see which of your fancy ladies you choose.
Truth be told, I'm glad you changed your mind. It will be more pleasant to see 5 days of stitching on 6 designs than a few stitches on a bunch of designs.
I am new to your FlossTube by way of Vonna’s recommendation and really like how natural you are in presenting your fabulous projects. The diversity of your projects really interests me because I like to stitch a variety of charts too. Looking forward to the next FlossTube!
Wow, so much gorgeous stitching! I haven’t finished the video yet, but I quickly wanted to say that in amazing grace there is a dot missing. Because the rest of the sheet music is so clear and easy to read, I noticed immediately that in the first whole bar of the bass line, the quarter note needs a dot after it. Musically speaking of course. I don‘t know what is charted. Now I can go and enjoy all the pretty things I haven’t seen yet without thinking about this.
Thanks for pointing it out, I think it is missing in the chart but I will double check!! You have a great eye and a background in music, very nice!! ☺️💕
Hmm…. I don’t know! I really don’t do anything special! 😂 But thank you!!! I put my fabric in a Q-snap or frame and the fabric is always very tight, maybe that helps? Not quite sure! ☺️💕
Your videos are so fun to watch - your Mirabilia finish is absolutely STUNNING 😍 I am by no means a pink or flowery type of person, but every time I see your fancy lady pieces I am sorely tempted to start a lot more lol. I am 100% with you on the no counting thing - I only do that if Pattern Keeper does it for me and even then I forgot to write it down sometimes 😅 As some others have said, you should structure your hobby the way it will work for you and make it most enjoyable. Your videos are wonderful, dog noises and all. If you want to start 6 projects instead of 15, that’s totally up to you! Nobody is entitled to tell you how to do your stitching. Rant over lol. Can’t wait to see your new starts! 😊
You are just the nicest person ever!! So glad we’ve connected here on FlossTube! 💕 When I work on full coverage I don’t want to do anything else, but then when I finally switch and work on Miras or other projects I don’t want to do full coverage for a while… and then I watch one of your videos and all I want to do is full coverage again!! 😂😂 I got Beloved in the last HAED sale… I know I don’t need another start (at all, ever, for the rest of time 😜) but yours is just so inspiring, I love watching your progress 😍
Congrats on the finish, she looks absolutely stunning with the beads!! Beauty and the Beast is also looking amazing; I'm sure you can get the row done by June! I totally understand changing your mind on how many starts to do; As someone who did "start something everyday/every other day" for two years, it is absolutely overwhelming at times haha. You do what works for you!!
So nice to see you back out here on FlossTube again, I’ve missed you and I keep checking for new videos! Looking forward to being enabled by the one you’ll be editing and posting soon!! 😍
@@NeedleberryStitcher it’s nice to be back!! Editing tonight and will hopefully be ready to upload sometime tomorrow or Friday! ☺️ I feel enabled to start a Mira with all of your beauties you keep showing off, haha. I’ll have to show the ones I have next time I record for some help picking one!
Thanks for keeping me company while I implement your kit/floss drop system on a project I’d already started. So, no new start but this particular project is going to be my June focus. I can’t wait to see what you started in May. Pam
I wish I could have stitched more in May, it turned into a very busy month, so “Stitch Maynia” turned into “Stitch MaybeNot” 😂😂. Hoping to film an update video soon to show the little bit I did get done ☺️
Your stitching is beautiful! I found out about your floss tube from The Twisted Stitcher, Vonna Pfeiffer, who gave you a shout out. I'm so happy she did. I live in St. Charles, MO, area. Happy stitching.
You and I are practically neighbors, how nice! Are you planning to attend Needlework Galleria in September? I’ve never been because I’ve always had a conflict, but I’m hoping to go this year! 😃
Well my goal met start to finish on your videos in less than 24 hours! I think you are fantastic! I have bought 2 Mira’s fully kitted in the last 24 hours because of you 😂 you make me laugh, I always love to see how others stitch, you have great ideas, I love your heart, it shines right in your eyes…..I will so be ready to see your next update! Have a fantastic day!
Thank you for watching my videos, what an honor!! I’m glad you think I’m funny, my kids think I’m nerdy and they groan at my humor! And that just makes me want to be all the more silly! 😂 Best wishes to your family on all the wedding festivities, I’m looking forward to an update… and maybe some lovely photos of the special day? ☺️💕
Ohh your Roses of Provence is finished - so pretty!! I saw someone working on it at a retreat I attended this past weekend, and I gave your flosstube name to her for inspiration - I hope she comes and watches too 😊 Would love to see your TW patterns too, take care Nic x
Aww, thank you so much for sharing my channel!! Roses of Provence is still my favorite of all the Miras! If I never finish another one I’m glad I have that one done. I have a video after this one showing my TW patterns… although I’ve acquired a few more since then 😂
Hi Katherine! Just wanted to let you know that the kit came today! I love it, and once again thank you for your kind giveaway! I can’t wait to get started!
I’m so glad you received it (I was such a slow-poke getting to the post office!) I sincerely hope you enjoy every stitch, it’s one of my favorite designs. And I bet you’ll get yours done before I get mine done! 😂
Found you from a recommendation by Vonna (The Twisted Stitcher). So glad I did hop over to your channel, your stitching is beautiful and I will be going back to watch some of the past videos.
For your Year in the Woods series, since the finished size is important, you might consider using 18 count aida if you can't get 36 count linen or evenweave... Also, another option is BeStitchMe...I believe they are dying fabrics specifically for this series!
Excellent idea, I never even thought of that 😂. Hence why I LOVE sharing my thoughts on FlossTube to get ideas from people who think outside the box 👍😃. Thank you! 🌷
Love your finish and your progress on your wips. BeStitchMe has a fabric bundle for the Cottage Garden Samplers in the wood series. You can also buy them individual. That is were I ordered my fabric from. Hope that helps. Happy stitching!
Congratulations on your beautiful finish!!! Why I watch? It's great to see other stitcher's choices. I don't stitch fancy ladies, so I watch other people do it. Your video's are also informative (I'm a beginner. Why wouldn't it be good to keep stitching fabric in the plastic it comes in?). It is comforting to know other people are nerdy (and I am completely normal... ; P ) And you want to hear us say it right?...You're funny!
😂 You crack me up!!! 😂 I’ve heard from a few other FlossTubers and sources that the plastic that fabric comes in can react with the fabric and change the color over time, so I usually take it out. I’ve never personally had that happen, but I’m not one to take chances - fabric is expensive!! 😅
@@NeedleberryStitcher Aha, good to know that can happen! Don't get me started on prices of fabrics...see, another reason to whatch: yo admire your beautiful fabrics : )
Your Mira finish is so pretty!! Congratulations!! And never feel bad about changing your mind. That’s your right, it’s your stitching, your hobby. You’re nice enough to share it with us💜
Congratulations on your RoP finish! She is gorgeous! I'd be jumping for joy and pride. Your frame sounds perfect- really what's the difference between antique, vintage and second-hand aside from age? Your decision to backstitch on Easter was perfect. Amazing Grace looks so good and I love seeing the progression on the Beast's face- those eyes! Whatever you decide to do for May- do what you want to do, not what you think you should do. I'm starting my first Mira in May -Deco Spirits because I am indecisive on choosing fabric. I'm also starting my first SSMC on May 4 so the force can be with me. In the meantime, I'm plugging away on my TWs so I'll look forward to your Wentzler parade. Take care and thanks for sharing. Oh, and congratulations to the recipient of the beautiful Lena Liu kit! You are so generous!
@@NeedleberryStitcher You deserve all the nice comments. RoP is so lovely! I will be starting Leonid Afremov's Farewell to Anger by HAED. It's my first full coverage and I'm jumping into the deep end but I couldn't help myself. 18 count- its going to be huge!
The bigger the better! Your HAED is going to be beautiful and amazing!! And Deco Spirits is such a neat Mira! Have fun with your projects, let the May Starts begin! 👍😃
I love your Mira finish ! The fabric is perfect for her. You have a good eye for fabric. I love your fabric haul ! The new Mira is gorgeous. She is by far my favorite. Happy stitching.
Congratulations on your very first Mirabilia finish! Here's an idea for the comparison stitching of one with beads and one without beads. You stitch one version. Someone else stitch another version. (I don't know if I'm volunteering myself or not 🤣) And then the two versions end up together for a comparison video before living with their respective owners.
If you do want to volunteer to stitch one of the versions let me know!! 😂😂 We can collaborate 👍 I just don’t make any promises on when whichever one I stitch will get done… 🤣
Hi! Can't wait to see your Mira Maynia! I am absolutely loving your channel and your videos. I watched your Mirabilia pattern parade and I am now obsessed! 😂 😂 (so thank you). Jo xx
you may have already have this information somewhere down the list - but Brandy (BeStitchMe) has dyed some great alternatives for the Year in the Woods series - and she has 36 count. Congrats on a fabulous finish. And hearing the dog is fine!
Congratulations on your finishes. Love your Easter piece. Your Maynia plans sound more manageable. I'o ly starting 2 pieces maybe 3 if everything else gets done. See you ne,t time.
I started Liberty Games by Erica Michaels and will be starting Spring Quaker by Lisa's Studios with some friends on the 911 stit her zoom I may or may not start another small patriotic piece toward the end of the month depending on how the rest of the month goes
Woohoo Mirabilia finish!! Gorgeous!! I have to give you props for doing all the beading! The Easter piece turned out mags with the backstitching as well! It doesn't matter if you start a few or a lot, I just enjoy seeing your work. I do full coverage mostly so I understand about missing it after doing a lot of projects that aren't full coverage. The ferret is sooo cute!! When I am done with a couple of the projects I have going, I'll do that one. I think the Rosamund will be smashing on the green fabric - it's very beautiful! I love your fabric choices, you are actually very good at picking fabric!!
Thank you for the compliment!! I’m not confident in choosing fabrics, I think I prefer stealing ideas from other people who take more risks than I do!! The ferret is adorable, I love all the designs in the series so far 👍😃
Woohoo! A new video from one of my favorite flosstubes a day before my birthday! Lucky me. Glad to hear the puppy situation is settling 😆. Happy stitching, friend.
Aww, you are so sweet!! We have mutual admiration!! 😍 I love watching your channel, not just your stitching but your knitting too! You are so talented!! 🤩
Hey Katherine, great to see your updates, and just. wow. on the Roses of Provence. What a Beauty. I totally get getting cranky without stitchy time, I am really noticing just how much LOL Spring and summer means outside work so I'll be really cranky. *sigh* Getting it in as much as I can until then. Cheers!
I suppose after a long winter it’s time to finally get outside a bit, a little fresh air and exercise. But I do hope you still find time for some stitching and that you don’t get too tired out! ☺️💕
Yes you are so close to 2k subs. How exciting 👍❤️. You did get a lot of stitching done. Love your Easter finish looks much better with the backstitching ☺️. Your Mira looks amazing. So pretty and a great accomplishment. Omg the Beast’s eye looks so cool. So real. Love that pattern. I’m glad you pulled some of your older ones out. I love Amazing Grace it has always been my favorite song.your wips look amazing as usual, your stitching is always so nice and neat. Glad you changed your plans for May. It’s your hobby you can do whatever you want. Just don’t feel pressured then it becomes not fun like counting. Ok I wrote a long enough book 😂😂. I hope you have a great couple of weeks, can’t wait to see the new starts, stay safe and happy stitching my friend. ❤️
I love the Wisteria! I really like the mottling - maybe the Peaceful Purple is too peaceful for me! I’m a real Mira rebel when it comes to the background fabrics. I’ve only used the called for fabric on one Mira and that’s because it was a kit. Trust your instincts and do a floss toss and you will almost always be right. Your finish is absolutely gorgeous! That pattern has always looked like one of the more intricate to me, and you did a beautiful job! I can’t wait to see the frame! And don’t worry about resale stores- frames are one of their best things! No shame in that game! So save that extra frame $$ for important things like more Charts and fabric! Great video, again! Have a great weekend!
Your Easter piece is beautiful. Backstitching in the light color really made a difference. When you frame it, be sure to let us see. How satisfying to get work done on your older pieces. They are looking great. Your Roses Mirabilia is stunning. The Year in the Woods fabric situation is frustrating. Maybe they didn't anticipate so many people stitching the patterns. But, I also found that the count fabric (14 count aida) I wanted to use was not available in every color, even if it was in stock. So, I have ordered a variety of colors of 14 count and am just picking and choosing for each animal. I think I will find a frame or stand and switch out the finished critters when I, or a grandchild, wants to. Have a great stitchy couple of weeks.
I love that idea of choosing different colors of fabric for all the different animals! I need to learn to be more adventurous with my fabrics and try new things! I’m thinking that idea of switching out the animals in a frame or stand periodically would be perfect!! 👍☺️ Happy stitching to you too! 🌷
It was so nice to watch another flosstube with you and your beautiful stitching. Roses of Provence is absolutely gorgeous on the fabric you chose. I plan to start Queen of Peace along with Mother's Bliss or Miss Ginko in May in the spirit of your Mirabilia Maynia. I plan to stitch the queen on xjudesign light blueviolet. I don't think there's anything wrong with scaling back how many projects you plan to start in May, but then I'm primarily a monogamous stitcher. Having two Miras going at once is plenty for me!
@@NeedleberryStitcher I can wait a little longer. I don't have all my treasures and beads for her yet anyway. I started emerald dragonfly on Sunday and figured I would still be working on it in May, but here I am putting the last few beads in it 5 days later. I suppose I'll start the silver one next.
Roses of Sharon finished so beautifully! I really like the straw light fabric you got and I agree it will go well. The light grayish piece was also really nice. 💗Tonya
@@NeedleberryStitcher so far so good! You all will be first to know when we close and how the things are going over there on the property. (We have a power pole now 😁)
Yay congrats on your beautiful finish! I love how your Roses of Provence turned out. Gorgeous stitching! I just found your channel today and watched your videos that show your mirabilia pattern collection. So happy and grateful that I found this channel and can’t wait to see more of your work!
Always so happy to tune in to what you are up to. Congratulations on your finish. I haven't started my Ella: Frog princess yet...I keep changing my mind on the fabric...got it now, just need that push...think you just gave it to me. Have a great day! Snow is melting, and lake is deciding whether to defrost or not. Aloha from Alaska.
Hi Iris!! I hope your ice is gone soon and that you pick up your needle and take that first stitch on Ella!! That’s all you need, just one stitch and you’ve made a start!! ☺️💕 So lovely to hear your latest news from way up in Alaska, I hope I get a chance to visit Alaska one day, the land up there is breathtaking 😍. Have a great week of stitching… remember, just one stitch…. 👍😃
Congrats on the Rose pf Provence finish! She came out beautifully! I am going to start my first Mira on my Bday in August, the Forest Godddess, as long as my linen comes in before then!
That’s the tough part is planning a start without knowing if the fabric will come in time! My fingers are crossed that you get it! I have an August birthday also 👍😃
Congrats on your Mirabilia finish, so pretty. Also, it was so funny hearing you talk about Year in the woods fabric selection/availability, it was like hearing my own thought process (that I had a few weeks ago), same as you start with 36 count, then realize valor was not listed in that count :). I love your videos, looking forward to seeing what you decide to do for May.
I had someone reach out to tell me that 36 ct Valor is available from Traditional Stitches in Alberta, Canada and you can order online from them! I placed an order, but I’m not sure how long the fulfillment time is for it. They don’t charge for the purchase until the items are ready to ship, I really like how they do that. Here’s a link if you are interested: www.traditionalstitches.com/p_36ptpvalor.html

Thanks, I was planning to order and ready to wait for the current PTP production time. I will check it out. Not in a hurry because my 10 month old baby doesnt give me that much stitch time :)
Roses of Provence is stunning!! Congratulations on such a beautiful finish! Between you, Fiberartsamy, and the Lucky Chance stitcher, I'm kitting up Mirabilias and Lavender and Lace as fast as I can. I was able to score Adia on ebay this past weekend for $17! She should arrive within the next two days and I'm going to get busy ordering beads and treasures. I was happy to hear that they're all readily available. I'm thinking about a green fabric for her, not sure until I pull the floss. I'd love to see a stash dive of Teresa Wentzler! I have the Carousel and all 4 of the Carousel Horses, none started yet.
Yay, you got Adia for a steal!! I got all the beads and treasures on 123Stitch, I was surprised they had all of them in one fell swoop (that never happens for me) 😂. Green fabric would be gorgeous!! 😍 The TW carousel horses are among my favorites! My roadblock in starting one is that I know I will feel compelled to stitch all 4 as a set, and I don’t know that I’ll have enough hours in one lifetime to stitch everything I want to stitch on 🤣
Easter is so cute. Roses of Provence is just beautiful! I have the Amazing Grace pattern, too. There are 3 companion pieces - can't remember them all, but one is How Great Thou Art.
Love your Mirabilia finish. Sharon from Fun with cross stitch is stitching Rose of Sharon on a purple mottled fabric. She is using a color conversion for the dress but you may want to check it out to see how the columns look with a non-beigy color fabric. Anyways, I look forward to your next video!
We could never be mad at you!🤗 You be you and we will just come along on your stitching journey! The back stitching on your Easter piece looks really good! It really makes it pop! I like your fabric change on garden verses. I think the cantaloupe will compete with the colour in her dress. I totally want to start rosamund sooner than later. She is one of my favorites out of her newer releases! I'm planning to start queen of peace in june! Did someone say start along?😂😂
Good to catch up. Roses of Sharon turned out beautifully. For Maynia, Dena on Flosstube is doing a new start on every Monday giving 5 new starts, an idea for you maybe Would love to see your Teresa Wentzler patterns and WIPs, I have a few as well and love them
That’s a great idea to just do Monday starts! Thanks for that suggestion, I love it!! ☺️💕 My only wish for Teresa Wentzler designs is that there weren’t so many to choose from, I can never decide which ones I love the most 😂
Did you get the comment I sent you thanking you for winning the Dimensions kit? I am the worlds worst at writing comments and forgetting to send them! If you didn’t get it, thank you SO much! I am totally thrilled at winning the kit! And thank you so much for offering it up for giveaway! I am seriously thrilled, and you totally made my day! And I will send you a note with my email address!
Congrats on your Roses of Provence! She is beautiful :) and congrats to the winner of Sweet Nectar! You lucky duck :D I like the idea of stitching Sabrina twice, but I do think she's going to be a bit of a big beastie to do. To ensure your chance of success, why not pick a smaller one like a Nora?
Of course that would be the sensible thing to do!! 😂😂 I’m telling you I’m totally nutty, I have such silly ideas sometimes!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday!! I’m so jealous of all your new Dimensions kits! 😍
@@NeedleberryStitcher lol I got two new ones in the mail today too. They are an addiction I tell ya! And it's a nutty idea, but if you really wanna do it, DO EET. That's the fun of stitching, we make it OURS
love your fabric stash additions! definitely do a TW collection video! I finished her fantasy tryptich a few years ago. Have a few others floating around that I should finish too :)
Hi Cathryn - Congrats on Roses of Provence. She looks great. Your adjusted Mira Maynia plans sound a lot like mine. I'm starting one new Mira or Nora every Sunday and then focusing on her for the following 7 days. That gives me 5 new starts. BUT - Rosamund has arrived and I started her on Monday and don't want to put her down. So now I'm debating if I should count her as my first new start (replacing another start on 5/1) or start another one anyway? Oh the wonderful dilemma!! :)
Thank for the great flosstube episodes! Can you share the brand of tablet stand that you have? The Amazing Grace is beautiful. Love seeing all the beautiful patterns and the Dimension kits.
Fantastic podcast! Love all the Miras! I have so many I want to start and only 1 actual start! I am now debating as to whether I should start them on 28 count or 32 count! Is the beading any easier on 28 count? Curious do you railroad your stitches at all? Hoping to try out Girabaldi’s fabric soon! Thanks for sharing! Found you through a shout from Vonna! Happy Stitching!
Thanks so much for watching! If I use hand-dyed fabric I usually choose 28 count because the fabric shrinks a bit in the dying process. If I use a fabric directly from the manufacturer (Wichelt, Zweigart) then I’ll usually do 32 count, although I think 28 count would be fine also. You might try stitching a small area and add some beads and see if you like the density with the 32 count, sometimes I have to fudge the beads a bit to get them to fit, although that could just be my beading technique causing the space issues. I do railroad sometimes if I can’t get my stitches to look nice, but not always, only if my thread is not cooperating 😂. Happy stitching, and thanks again for watching and leaving such a nice comment! ☺️💕
Thanks for your video. Your Roses of Provence is gorgeous! I absolutely love it. Take this with a grain of salt, but if I were to substitute Valor, I think I would use BeStitchMe’s Through the Stones. I think it’s darker than Valor usually is, but I think the look of the fabric is the same, and may give the same effect.
@@NeedleberryStitcher I’m happy to help if I can. For what it’s worth, I think you do a fantastic job with fabrics. Your choice for Roses of Provence is perfect. 😊
I just found your channel, your stitching is gorgeous. You already enabled as I had to go get one of the patterns after seeing yours stitched. Do you stitch all your mirabilia’s skin tone 1 over 1 it looked that way. I just started to noticed some people doing that.
I don’t always do skin one over one, lately I have been opting not to. I think the skin looks nice as charted two over two. I used to see people on FlossTube and Instagram do one over one and thought I must be weird not to, so then I started doing it… but quite honestly I prefer two over two and that’s what I do now on new starts. No more caving to peer pressure- I just do what I like! 👍😃
Hi! I'm so happy I took Vonna 's advice to come see your video! I'm so impressed with your stitching! I just started Elizabeth by Mirabilia. Have you stitched her? I wanted to stitch Mira's with minimal beading until I get better at it. So far a stitched Zena (gifted it) and a Pixie. Forgot the name. I'd love to hear any tips you have on stitching Miras. Happy stitching! Lori at Once Upon a Stitch
Thank you for such a sweet comment! I’m probably not the best person to give tips on Miras… I’ve started several but only finished the one so far! You definitely don’t need to add beads if you don’t like beading, you can choose to convert the beads to DMC floss if that’s more your preference. Also, I much prefer using Petite Treasure Braid instead of Kreinik, it’s much easier to work with and I only use 1 strand even if it calls for 2 strands. I think those are all the tips I can think of, but if you have specific questions let me know! Happy stitching! ☺️💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher thanks so much. As I stitch Elizabeth and cover scores any questions, I'll ask. I've been watching your previous videos as well. 💕
Howdy from Tennessee!! Your Mira finish is so lovely!! You touch on so many topics I’d love to hear more about, but especially your stitch spot and set up. What frame, lighting and magnification, where do you place your chart, and so forth! Lol Take care ☺️
New subscriber here! Congratulations on your Mira finish! They are so pretty when they are finally all done, so worth the time put into them. Have your tried checking Rogue Stitching for your 36ct Valor? They might have it. I will have to go back and watch your Maynia plans. I love a good planning video :) happy stitching! 🦩🦩🦩
Oh wow, I’ve been a fan of your channel for so long! 😍 I’m a bit starstruck that you watched my video 🤩. Thanks so much for the fabric tip and where to look, there are so many online shops but I don’t find many in my searches that carry PTP regularly, so I’m excited to get recommendations!! Thank you!! ☺️💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher oh wow! Thank you so much! ☺️☺️I’m glad that I have found your channel. Best of luck in your quest for your fabric! Happy stitching! 🦩🦩🦩
i just happened upon your YT channel and I'm curious, do you cross stich without a pattern on the fabric? If so kudos to you I cannot image doing such projects without a printed panel. Your work is just lovely.
I had the same problem! I bought an RCA tablet from Walmart.com that I found on sale. It was the cheapest Android tablet I could find, although apparently there’s a way to make Pattern Keeper work on a Kindle (I think there are some video tutorials on how to do that). But I didn’t have a Kindle either. Hope that helps!
I’ve gotten them from a lot of different places over the years, but my favorite place lately (last couple of years) to buy from is Sandra’s Stitch Stash, she has an eBay store as well as an Etsy store but I usually buy from her through eBay, although I just realized recently that she has her own website to order through: sandrasstitchstash.com I have also gotten some Mirabilia patterns from 123Stitch and Stitcher’s Inc. (via the Wichelt website). Out of print designs can many times be found on eBay, and sometimes very reasonable!
Hello. Thank you for the video. Love your Roses and Easter finishes. To answer your question, I watch because you work on a great variety of pieces, and you're genuine and funny. I don't mind dog and life noise in the background! ⚘️
Pleased stitch whatever you would like, don’t worry about what any of us think! If we want to start 15 Miras-we can. Also, if you want two of the same picture, go for it. If you’re just doing it as a demonstration you could stitch a small area or we can just be thankful that you shared the idea and try it ourselves. Life is too short to do crafts on anyone else’s agenda. I am just thankful that you share your crafting with us-whatever that is!
You are so sweet, thank you for the beautiful comment and kind words! You are so right, stitching should bring us joy! ☺️🌷
Dogs are puppies until they are about 3. Babies don't stop being babies at 1...Training is the key! I dog sit and love it❣
Amazing Grace is beautiful!
Maybe you can come and dog sit for my daughter’s puppy until she comes to pick him up! 😂😂 We love him, he’s a sweetie 💕
Happy Stitching!
I found you thr0 Vonna. Your stitching is beautiful. Can't wait to see more.
Thank you so much!! I hope you have a great week of stitching! ☺️💕
Congratulations on your Mirabilia finish - she is so gorgeous!! Happy stitching…………..
Thank you so much!! Happy stitching! ☺️🌷
Hooray a finish ! She is beautiful! Your fabric haul was fabulous and you are so correct
about they totally different when you look at them online as to when you actually get
them. The Beast has totally changed from the last video it's going to be a wonderful
piece when done. Hey don't worry about being weird, that's what the world go 'round.
Happy Stitching! I can't wait to see which of your fancy ladies you choose.
I’m excited too! May is going to be a really fun month! 🎉
Great finishes. Enjoyed your floss tube
Thank you! Have a great week! ☺️💕
Truth be told, I'm glad you changed your mind. It will be more pleasant to see 5 days of stitching on 6 designs than a few stitches on a bunch of designs.
Thanks, I think that will be much more fun too!! ☺️💕
I LOVE your Mira....how gorgeous!!
Thank you!! ☺️💕
I am new to your FlossTube by way of Vonna’s recommendation and really like how natural you are in presenting your fabulous projects. The diversity of your projects really interests me because I like to stitch a variety of charts too. Looking forward to the next FlossTube!
Thank you so much for watching! ☺️💕
Your Mira finish is STUNNING 🤩- I may have watched that bit of the video more than once 😉
Oh thank you! ☺️ It should have been done a very long time ago… but better late than never!! ☺️💕
Wow, so much gorgeous stitching! I haven’t finished the video yet, but I quickly wanted to say that in amazing grace there is a dot missing. Because the rest of the sheet music is so clear and easy to read, I noticed immediately that in the first whole bar of the bass line, the quarter note needs a dot after it. Musically speaking of course. I don‘t know what is charted. Now I can go and enjoy all the pretty things I haven’t seen yet without thinking about this.
Thanks for pointing it out, I think it is missing in the chart but I will double check!! You have a great eye and a background in music, very nice!! ☺️💕
Okay I have to know how you got your backstitch so straight and perfect!! I am amazed!
Hmm…. I don’t know! I really don’t do anything special! 😂 But thank you!!! I put my fabric in a Q-snap or frame and the fabric is always very tight, maybe that helps? Not quite sure! ☺️💕
Your videos are so fun to watch - your Mirabilia finish is absolutely STUNNING 😍 I am by no means a pink or flowery type of person, but every time I see your fancy lady pieces I am sorely tempted to start a lot more lol. I am 100% with you on the no counting thing - I only do that if Pattern Keeper does it for me and even then I forgot to write it down sometimes 😅
As some others have said, you should structure your hobby the way it will work for you and make it most enjoyable. Your videos are wonderful, dog noises and all. If you want to start 6 projects instead of 15, that’s totally up to you! Nobody is entitled to tell you how to do your stitching. Rant over lol. Can’t wait to see your new starts! 😊
You are just the nicest person ever!! So glad we’ve connected here on FlossTube! 💕
When I work on full coverage I don’t want to do anything else, but then when I finally switch and work on Miras or other projects I don’t want to do full coverage for a while… and then I watch one of your videos and all I want to do is full coverage again!! 😂😂 I got Beloved in the last HAED sale… I know I don’t need another start (at all, ever, for the rest of time 😜) but yours is just so inspiring, I love watching your progress 😍
Congrats on the finish, she looks absolutely stunning with the beads!!
Beauty and the Beast is also looking amazing; I'm sure you can get the row done by June!
I totally understand changing your mind on how many starts to do; As someone who did "start something everyday/every other day" for two years, it is absolutely overwhelming at times haha. You do what works for you!!
So nice to see you back out here on FlossTube again, I’ve missed you and I keep checking for new videos! Looking forward to being enabled by the one you’ll be editing and posting soon!! 😍
@@NeedleberryStitcher it’s nice to be back!! Editing tonight and will hopefully be ready to upload sometime tomorrow or Friday! ☺️
I feel enabled to start a Mira with all of your beauties you keep showing off, haha. I’ll have to show the ones I have next time I record for some help picking one!
Looked you up by Vonna's suggestion and so glad I did, I love your pieces especially your Mirabilia finish.
Aww, thank you very much! It’s my first Mirabilia finish, but I hope to have many more! ☺️💕
Thanks for keeping me company while I implement your kit/floss drop system on a project I’d already started. So, no new start but this particular project is going to be my June focus. I can’t wait to see what you started in May. Pam
I wish I could have stitched more in May, it turned into a very busy month, so “Stitch Maynia” turned into “Stitch MaybeNot” 😂😂. Hoping to film an update video soon to show the little bit I did get done ☺️
Your stitching is beautiful! I found out about your floss tube from The Twisted Stitcher, Vonna Pfeiffer, who gave you a shout out. I'm so happy she did. I live in St. Charles, MO, area. Happy stitching.
You and I are practically neighbors, how nice! Are you planning to attend Needlework Galleria in September? I’ve never been because I’ve always had a conflict, but I’m hoping to go this year! 😃
Well my goal met start to finish on your videos in less than 24 hours! I think you are fantastic! I have bought 2 Mira’s fully kitted in the last 24 hours because of you 😂 you make me laugh, I always love to see how others stitch, you have great ideas, I love your heart, it shines right in your eyes…..I will so be ready to see your next update! Have a fantastic day!
Thank you for watching my videos, what an honor!! I’m glad you think I’m funny, my kids think I’m nerdy and they groan at my humor! And that just makes me want to be all the more silly! 😂 Best wishes to your family on all the wedding festivities, I’m looking forward to an update… and maybe some lovely photos of the special day? ☺️💕
Ohh your Roses of Provence is finished - so pretty!! I saw someone working on it at a retreat I attended this past weekend, and I gave your flosstube name to her for inspiration - I hope she comes and watches too 😊 Would love to see your TW patterns too, take care Nic x
Aww, thank you so much for sharing my channel!! Roses of Provence is still my favorite of all the Miras! If I never finish another one I’m glad I have that one done. I have a video after this one showing my TW patterns… although I’ve acquired a few more since then 😂
Roses of Provence' is gorgeous❣
Thank you so much!! ☺️💕
That finish is so gorgeous!!! I just found your channel because of Vonna, and I think your stitching is very beautiful.
Thank you so much, you are so sweet! ☺️💕
Hi Katherine! Just wanted to let you know that the kit came today! I love it, and once again thank you for your kind giveaway! I can’t wait to get started!
I’m so glad you received it (I was such a slow-poke getting to the post office!) I sincerely hope you enjoy every stitch, it’s one of my favorite designs. And I bet you’ll get yours done before I get mine done! 😂
Love your finish. I have never stitched a mira I'm to afraid!
No need to be afraid! But at the same time it’s good to stitch on what you love the most! Do what brings you the most joy! ☺️💕
Found you from a recommendation by Vonna (The Twisted Stitcher). So glad I did hop over to your channel, your stitching is beautiful and I will be going back to watch some of the past videos.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a sweet kind comment! ☺️💕
Your projects look great. I would never count how many stitches I do every day. I just stitch what I can. Everyone should do what works for them.:)
Yes, we just need to stitch what we can! ☺️💕
Hi, love you projects, came through Vonna and hit the subscribe. Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching.
Thank you so much for watching and leaving me such a sweet comment! ☺️💕
For your Year in the Woods series, since the finished size is important, you might consider using 18 count aida if you can't get 36 count linen or evenweave...
Also, another option is BeStitchMe...I believe they are dying fabrics specifically for this series!
Excellent idea, I never even thought of that 😂. Hence why I LOVE sharing my thoughts on FlossTube to get ideas from people who think outside the box 👍😃. Thank you! 🌷
Just found your channel I joined like the roses piece you finished
Thanks for watching! I hope you get lots of stitching done this week! ☺️💕
Love your finish and your progress on your wips. BeStitchMe has a fabric bundle for the Cottage Garden Samplers in the wood series. You can also buy them individual. That is were I ordered my fabric from. Hope that helps. Happy stitching!
Thank you, I very much appreciate the fabric suggestion, I’ll look into it! 👍😃
Congratulations on your beautiful finish!!! Why I watch? It's great to see other stitcher's choices. I don't stitch fancy ladies, so I watch other people do it. Your video's are also informative (I'm a beginner. Why wouldn't it be good to keep stitching fabric in the plastic it comes in?). It is comforting to know other people are nerdy (and I am completely normal... ; P ) And you want to hear us say it right?...You're funny!
😂 You crack me up!!! 😂
I’ve heard from a few other FlossTubers and sources that the plastic that fabric comes in can react with the fabric and change the color over time, so I usually take it out. I’ve never personally had that happen, but I’m not one to take chances - fabric is expensive!! 😅
@@NeedleberryStitcher Aha, good to know that can happen!
Don't get me started on prices of fabrics...see, another reason to whatch: yo admire your beautiful fabrics : )
I'm stitching Blossom now. She is my 1st Mirabilia.
That’s wonderful!! I’m so excited for you, I hope you enjoy working on it! ☺️💕
Rose of Provence is gorgeous,what a beautiful finish 😍😍I would like to see your Teresa patterns 😀X
Okay! I’ll plan for a Teresa Wentzler video!!
@@NeedleberryStitcher yay thank you! Look forward to it 😃x
Your Mira finish is so pretty!! Congratulations!! And never feel bad about changing your mind. That’s your right, it’s your stitching, your hobby. You’re nice enough to share it with us💜
Thank you, Jemima! 💕 I need reminding sometimes that it’s a hobby, not a job and not a race! 😂
Great to see another episode! We're ALL a little nerdy and a little weird, and we like Star Trek and Star Wars and all the things!
🤩💕
Congratulations on your RoP finish! She is gorgeous! I'd be jumping for joy and pride. Your frame sounds perfect- really what's the difference between antique, vintage and second-hand aside from age? Your decision to backstitch on Easter was perfect. Amazing Grace looks so good and I love seeing the progression on the Beast's face- those eyes! Whatever you decide to do for May- do what you want to do, not what you think you should do. I'm starting my first Mira in May -Deco Spirits because I am indecisive on choosing fabric. I'm also starting my first SSMC on May 4 so the force can be with me. In the meantime, I'm plugging away on my TWs so I'll look forward to your Wentzler parade. Take care and thanks for sharing. Oh, and congratulations to the recipient of the beautiful Lena Liu kit! You are so generous!
Thanks for the super nice comment! ☺️💕Your first Mira in May - woohoo!! 👍😃 Which SSMC chart are you starting on Star Wars day?
@@NeedleberryStitcher You deserve all the nice comments. RoP is so lovely! I will be starting Leonid Afremov's Farewell to Anger by HAED. It's my first full coverage and I'm jumping into the deep end but I couldn't help myself. 18 count- its going to be huge!
The bigger the better! Your HAED is going to be beautiful and amazing!! And Deco Spirits is such a neat Mira! Have fun with your projects, let the May Starts begin! 👍😃
I love your Mira finish ! The fabric is perfect for her. You have a good eye for fabric. I love your fabric haul ! The new Mira is gorgeous. She is by far my favorite. Happy stitching.
Thanks for watching my video! I agree, I love the new Mira too! ☺️💕 She’s going to get stitched sooner than later I think 👍
Gonna said you were the bomb. Well that sounded great.
Congratulations on your very first Mirabilia finish! Here's an idea for the comparison stitching of one with beads and one without beads. You stitch one version. Someone else stitch another version. (I don't know if I'm volunteering myself or not 🤣) And then the two versions end up together for a comparison video before living with their respective owners.
If you do want to volunteer to stitch one of the versions let me know!! 😂😂 We can collaborate 👍 I just don’t make any promises on when whichever one I stitch will get done… 🤣
@@NeedleberryStitcher I will totally stitch a version. Let's chat!
Hi! Can't wait to see your Mira Maynia! I am absolutely loving your channel and your videos. I watched your Mirabilia pattern parade and I am now obsessed! 😂 😂 (so thank you). Jo xx
It’s an addiction - be ever so careful… 😂🤣
@@NeedleberryStitcher I will try!! 😂 X
Happy spring to you too. Your Easter stitch looks A-MAZE-ING with the back stitch added in 👏
Thank you!! I can finally see the letters! ☺️
you may have already have this information somewhere down the list - but Brandy (BeStitchMe) has dyed some great alternatives for the Year in the Woods series - and she has 36 count. Congrats on a fabulous finish. And hearing the dog is fine!
Thanks Holly! I hope you are well and getting some great stitching time in! 👍😃
Love the BS on Easter...looks great! Rose's of Provence looks gorgeous. Congrats on you 1st Mira finish! Smiles, Jeannie
Thank you! Finish one, start ten? Haha!! 😂
Congratulations on your finishes. Love your Easter piece. Your Maynia plans sound more manageable. I'o ly starting 2 pieces maybe 3 if everything else gets done. See you ne,t time.
Happy May stitching!! I’d love to know what you decide to start! ☺️💕
I started Liberty Games by Erica Michaels and will be starting Spring Quaker by Lisa's Studios with some friends on the 911 stit her zoom I may or may not start another small patriotic piece toward the end of the month depending on how the rest of the month goes
Woohoo Mirabilia finish!! Gorgeous!! I have to give you props for doing all the beading! The Easter piece turned out mags with the backstitching as well! It doesn't matter if you start a few or a lot, I just enjoy seeing your work. I do full coverage mostly so I understand about missing it after doing a lot of projects that aren't full coverage. The ferret is sooo cute!! When I am done with a couple of the projects I have going, I'll do that one. I think the Rosamund will be smashing on the green fabric - it's very beautiful! I love your fabric choices, you are actually very good at picking fabric!!
Thank you for the compliment!! I’m not confident in choosing fabrics, I think I prefer stealing ideas from other people who take more risks than I do!! The ferret is adorable, I love all the designs in the series so far 👍😃
I love watching you. The fabrics look nice for what you are planning.
Thank you Elisa!! I hope you’re having an awesome week! ☺️💕
Woohoo! A new video from one of my favorite flosstubes a day before my birthday! Lucky me. Glad to hear the puppy situation is settling 😆. Happy stitching, friend.
Aww, you are so sweet!! We have mutual admiration!! 😍 I love watching your channel, not just your stitching but your knitting too! You are so talented!! 🤩
Hey Katherine, great to see your updates, and just. wow. on the Roses of Provence. What a Beauty. I totally get getting cranky without stitchy time, I am really noticing just how much LOL Spring and summer means outside work so I'll be really cranky. *sigh* Getting it in as much as I can until then. Cheers!
I suppose after a long winter it’s time to finally get outside a bit, a little fresh air and exercise. But I do hope you still find time for some stitching and that you don’t get too tired out! ☺️💕
Congratulations on your mirabilia finish she looks fantastic. Great flosstube as always
Thank you for watching! I hope you’re have a fabulous week with lots of time for stitching!
Yes you are so close to 2k subs. How exciting 👍❤️. You did get a lot of stitching done. Love your Easter finish looks much better with the backstitching ☺️. Your Mira looks amazing. So pretty and a great accomplishment. Omg the Beast’s eye looks so cool. So real. Love that pattern. I’m glad you pulled some of your older ones out. I love Amazing Grace it has always been my favorite song.your wips look amazing as usual, your stitching is always so nice and neat. Glad you changed your plans for May. It’s your hobby you can do whatever you want. Just don’t feel pressured then it becomes not fun like counting. Ok I wrote a long enough book 😂😂. I hope you have a great couple of weeks, can’t wait to see the new starts, stay safe and happy stitching my friend. ❤️
You are the sweetest, I always love your comments! You are so encouraging 💕☺️🌷
@@NeedleberryStitcher ❤️
I love the Wisteria! I really like the mottling - maybe the Peaceful Purple is too peaceful for me! I’m a real Mira rebel when it comes to the background fabrics. I’ve only used the called for fabric on one Mira and that’s because it was a kit. Trust your instincts and do a floss toss and you will almost always be right. Your finish is absolutely gorgeous! That pattern has always looked like one of the more intricate to me, and you did a beautiful job! I can’t wait to see the frame! And don’t worry about resale stores- frames are one of their best things! No shame in that game! So save that extra frame $$ for important things like more Charts and fabric! Great video, again! Have a great weekend!
I agree - spend less on framing if possible so I can spend the extra on more patterns, fabric, threads and beads!! 👍😃
Your Easter piece is beautiful. Backstitching in the light color really made a difference. When you frame it, be sure to let us see. How satisfying to get work done on your older pieces. They are looking great. Your Roses Mirabilia is stunning. The Year in the Woods fabric situation is frustrating. Maybe they didn't anticipate so many people stitching the patterns. But, I also found that the count fabric (14 count aida) I wanted to use was not available in every color, even if it was in stock. So, I have ordered a variety of colors of 14 count and am just picking and choosing for each animal. I think I will find a frame or stand and switch out the finished critters when I, or a grandchild, wants to. Have a great stitchy couple of weeks.
I love that idea of choosing different colors of fabric for all the different animals! I need to learn to be more adventurous with my fabrics and try new things! I’m thinking that idea of switching out the animals in a frame or stand periodically would be perfect!! 👍☺️ Happy stitching to you too! 🌷
It was so nice to watch another flosstube with you and your beautiful stitching. Roses of Provence is absolutely gorgeous on the fabric you chose. I plan to start Queen of Peace along with Mother's Bliss or Miss Ginko in May in the spirit of your Mirabilia Maynia. I plan to stitch the queen on xjudesign light blueviolet. I don't think there's anything wrong with scaling back how many projects you plan to start in May, but then I'm primarily a monogamous stitcher. Having two Miras going at once is plenty for me!
I think there are a few people starting Queen of Peace soon - I’m planning to start that one in June, but you may not want to wait that long 😉💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher I can wait a little longer. I don't have all my treasures and beads for her yet anyway. I started emerald dragonfly on Sunday and figured I would still be working on it in May, but here I am putting the last few beads in it 5 days later. I suppose I'll start the silver one next.
Oh my!! You stitch so fast!!!! 😍🤩
@@NeedleberryStitcher thank you 😊 It's a small design but I do tend to get projects done quickly.
I think garden versus would look fine on very light cantaloupe. The straw light is closer tot the original fabric color. Yay for new starts!
I’ll need to do a floss toss now that I have fabric in hand! So hard to tell on a website picture. But I really like both!
Roses of Sharon finished so beautifully! I really like the straw light fabric you got and I agree it will go well. The light grayish piece was also really nice.
💗Tonya
Thank you Tonya! I hope all is going well with your house plans! ☺️💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher so far so good! You all will be first to know when we close and how the things are going over there on the property. (We have a power pole now 😁)
@@TheStarletStitcher Fantastic!!! One step closer to home sweet home!! 🌷
Yay congrats on your beautiful finish! I love how your Roses of Provence turned out. Gorgeous stitching! I just found your channel today and watched your videos that show your mirabilia pattern collection. So happy and grateful that I found this channel and can’t wait to see more of your work!
Thank you so much, how very nice of you! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and find lots of time to get some stitching done! ☺️💕
Always so happy to tune in to what you are up to. Congratulations on your finish. I haven't started my Ella: Frog princess yet...I keep changing my mind on the fabric...got it now, just need that push...think you just gave it to me. Have a great day! Snow is melting, and lake is deciding whether to defrost or not. Aloha from Alaska.
Hi Iris!! I hope your ice is gone soon and that you pick up your needle and take that first stitch on Ella!! That’s all you need, just one stitch and you’ve made a start!! ☺️💕 So lovely to hear your latest news from way up in Alaska, I hope I get a chance to visit Alaska one day, the land up there is breathtaking 😍. Have a great week of stitching… remember, just one stitch…. 👍😃
Your Mirabilia finish is gorgeous!!
Thank you so much!! Curious to know which Miras you added to your wish list! 👍😃
Great video, your Roses of Provence looks absolutely stunning can't wait to see what you start for May
Thank you so much! May is going to be fun 🤩
Your Mira finish is stunning! Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing the frame you choose 😄
Thank you so much!! ☺️💕 I hope you’re having an awesome week with plenty of time for stitching!
Congrats on the Rose pf Provence finish! She came out beautifully! I am going to start my first Mira on my Bday in August, the Forest Godddess, as long as my linen comes in before then!
That’s the tough part is planning a start without knowing if the fabric will come in time! My fingers are crossed that you get it! I have an August birthday also 👍😃
I’m back…I fully support stitching the same Mira twice, if you want to.
Oh that’s right, you have several of the same Mira on the go!
@@NeedleberryStitcher 🤦🏻♀️perhaps more than is wise. 😂
@@fiberartsamy2654 Totally worth it if it brings joy!! ☺️💕
The Roses of Provence is stunning! And bring back the Inner Unicorn 🦄 !!! --Deb
😂🤣
Congrats on your Mirabilia finish, so pretty. Also, it was so funny hearing you talk about Year in the woods fabric selection/availability, it was like hearing my own thought process (that I had a few weeks ago), same as you start with 36 count, then realize valor was not listed in that count :).
I love your videos, looking forward to seeing what you decide to do for May.
I had someone reach out to tell me that 36 ct Valor is available from Traditional Stitches in Alberta, Canada and you can order online from them! I placed an order, but I’m not sure how long the fulfillment time is for it. They don’t charge for the purchase until the items are ready to ship, I really like how they do that. Here’s a link if you are interested:
www.traditionalstitches.com/p_36ptpvalor.html
Thanks, I was planning to order and ready to wait for the current PTP production time. I will check it out. Not in a hurry because my 10 month old baby doesnt give me that much stitch time :)
Roses of Provence is stunning!! Congratulations on such a beautiful finish! Between you, Fiberartsamy, and the Lucky Chance stitcher, I'm kitting up Mirabilias and Lavender and Lace as fast as I can. I was able to score Adia on ebay this past weekend for $17! She should arrive within the next two days and I'm going to get busy ordering beads and treasures. I was happy to hear that they're all readily available. I'm thinking about a green fabric for her, not sure until I pull the floss. I'd love to see a stash dive of Teresa Wentzler! I have the Carousel and all 4 of the Carousel Horses, none started yet.
Yay, you got Adia for a steal!! I got all the beads and treasures on 123Stitch, I was surprised they had all of them in one fell swoop (that never happens for me) 😂. Green fabric would be gorgeous!! 😍 The TW carousel horses are among my favorites! My roadblock in starting one is that I know I will feel compelled to stitch all 4 as a set, and I don’t know that I’ll have enough hours in one lifetime to stitch everything I want to stitch on 🤣
Easter is so cute. Roses of Provence is just beautiful! I have the Amazing Grace pattern, too. There are 3 companion pieces - can't remember them all, but one is How Great Thou Art.
I didn’t realize there were more - I might have to seek them out! 👍😃
Love your Mirabilia finish. Sharon from Fun with cross stitch is stitching Rose of Sharon on a purple mottled fabric. She is using a color conversion for the dress but you may want to check it out to see how the columns look with a non-beigy color fabric. Anyways, I look forward to your next video!
Oh, thank you so much for that suggestion, I will definitely check out her channel too see Rose of Sharon on different fabric!! That’s awesome! 👍😃
We could never be mad at you!🤗 You be you and we will just come along on your stitching journey! The back stitching on your Easter piece looks really good! It really makes it pop! I like your fabric change on garden verses. I think the cantaloupe will compete with the colour in her dress. I totally want to start rosamund sooner than later. She is one of my favorites out of her newer releases! I'm planning to start queen of peace in june! Did someone say start along?😂😂
Queen of Peace start along in June - let’s do it!! 👍😃 I really want to do Rosamund pretty soon also, it’s a new favorite for sure!!
Yes! I will mark it on my calendar!😂😂 oh and your mirabilia finish is so pretty! Good job!!👏👏👏👏
Good to catch up. Roses of Sharon turned out beautifully. For Maynia, Dena on Flosstube is doing a new start on every Monday giving 5 new starts, an idea for you maybe
Would love to see your Teresa Wentzler patterns and WIPs, I have a few as well and love them
That’s a great idea to just do Monday starts! Thanks for that suggestion, I love it!! ☺️💕 My only wish for Teresa Wentzler designs is that there weren’t so many to choose from, I can never decide which ones I love the most 😂
Did you get the comment I sent you thanking you for winning the Dimensions kit? I am the worlds worst at writing comments and forgetting to send them! If you didn’t get it, thank you SO much! I am totally thrilled at winning the kit! And thank you so much for offering it up for giveaway! I am seriously thrilled, and you totally made my day! And I will send you a note with my email address!
Got your email!! Congratulations on winning the Dimensions kit!! 👍😃
Congrats on your Roses of Provence! She is beautiful :) and congrats to the winner of Sweet Nectar! You lucky duck :D I like the idea of stitching Sabrina twice, but I do think she's going to be a bit of a big beastie to do. To ensure your chance of success, why not pick a smaller one like a Nora?
Of course that would be the sensible thing to do!! 😂😂 I’m telling you I’m totally nutty, I have such silly ideas sometimes!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday!! I’m so jealous of all your new Dimensions kits! 😍
@@NeedleberryStitcher lol I got two new ones in the mail today too. They are an addiction I tell ya! And it's a nutty idea, but if you really wanna do it, DO EET. That's the fun of stitching, we make it OURS
love your fabric stash additions! definitely do a TW collection video! I finished her fantasy tryptich a few years ago. Have a few others floating around that I should finish too :)
I need to quit my job so I can stitch everything I love! 😂😂
Hi Cathryn - Congrats on Roses of Provence. She looks great. Your adjusted Mira Maynia plans sound a lot like mine. I'm starting one new Mira or Nora every Sunday and then focusing on her for the following 7 days. That gives me 5 new starts. BUT - Rosamund has arrived and I started her on Monday and don't want to put her down. So now I'm debating if I should count her as my first new start (replacing another start on 5/1) or start another one anyway? Oh the wonderful dilemma!! :)
You know what I would say…. (It doesn’t count and you should start another!) 😂😂
@@NeedleberryStitcher Yep - I knew that's what you would say!! :)
Thank for the great flosstube episodes! Can you share the brand of tablet stand that you have? The Amazing Grace is beautiful. Love seeing all the beautiful patterns and the Dimension kits.
Sorry for the delayed response! The floor stand I bought for my tablet is Lamicall Tablet Floor Tripod Stand, it’s listed on Amazon for $29.59 USD ☺️
Fantastic podcast! Love all the Miras! I have so many I want to start and only 1 actual start! I am now debating as to whether I should start them on 28 count or 32 count! Is the beading any easier on 28 count? Curious do you railroad your stitches at all? Hoping to try out Girabaldi’s fabric soon! Thanks for sharing! Found you through a shout from Vonna! Happy Stitching!
Thanks so much for watching! If I use hand-dyed fabric I usually choose 28 count because the fabric shrinks a bit in the dying process. If I use a fabric directly from the manufacturer (Wichelt, Zweigart) then I’ll usually do 32 count, although I think 28 count would be fine also. You might try stitching a small area and add some beads and see if you like the density with the 32 count, sometimes I have to fudge the beads a bit to get them to fit, although that could just be my beading technique causing the space issues. I do railroad sometimes if I can’t get my stitches to look nice, but not always, only if my thread is not cooperating 😂. Happy stitching, and thanks again for watching and leaving such a nice comment! ☺️💕
Thanks for your video. Your Roses of Provence is gorgeous! I absolutely love it. Take this with a grain of salt, but if I were to substitute Valor, I think I would use BeStitchMe’s Through the Stones. I think it’s darker than Valor usually is, but I think the look of the fabric is the same, and may give the same effect.
Thank you for the suggestion! I think I need to ask you about some other fabric selections I’m thinking about too… 👍😀
@@NeedleberryStitcher I’m happy to help if I can. For what it’s worth, I think you do a fantastic job with fabrics. Your choice for Roses of Provence is perfect. 😊
I just found your channel, your stitching is gorgeous. You already enabled as I had to go get one of the patterns after seeing yours stitched. Do you stitch all your mirabilia’s skin tone 1 over 1 it looked that way. I just started to noticed some people doing that.
I don’t always do skin one over one, lately I have been opting not to. I think the skin looks nice as charted two over two. I used to see people on FlossTube and Instagram do one over one and thought I must be weird not to, so then I started doing it… but quite honestly I prefer two over two and that’s what I do now on new starts. No more caving to peer pressure- I just do what I like! 👍😃
Hi! I'm so happy I took Vonna 's advice to come see your video! I'm so impressed with your stitching! I just started Elizabeth by Mirabilia. Have you stitched her? I wanted to stitch Mira's with minimal beading until I get better at it. So far a stitched Zena (gifted it) and a Pixie. Forgot the name. I'd love to hear any tips you have on stitching Miras. Happy stitching! Lori at Once Upon a Stitch
Thank you for such a sweet comment! I’m probably not the best person to give tips on Miras… I’ve started several but only finished the one so far! You definitely don’t need to add beads if you don’t like beading, you can choose to convert the beads to DMC floss if that’s more your preference. Also, I much prefer using Petite Treasure Braid instead of Kreinik, it’s much easier to work with and I only use 1 strand even if it calls for 2 strands. I think those are all the tips I can think of, but if you have specific questions let me know! Happy stitching! ☺️💕
Oh, and I just found your channel and subscribed!! 👍😃
@@NeedleberryStitcher thanks so much. As I stitch Elizabeth and cover scores any questions, I'll ask. I've been watching your previous videos as well. 💕

Howdy from Tennessee!! Your Mira finish is so lovely!! You touch on so many topics I’d love to hear more about, but especially your stitch spot and set up. What frame, lighting and magnification, where do you place your chart, and so forth! Lol
Take care ☺️
I’ll see if I can do a video clip of my stitching setup - it’s not fancy but it works for me! 👍😃
New subscriber here! Congratulations on your Mira finish! They are so pretty when they are finally all done, so worth the time put into them. Have your tried checking Rogue Stitching for your 36ct Valor? They might have it. I will have to go back and watch your Maynia plans. I love a good planning video :) happy stitching! 🦩🦩🦩
Oh wow, I’ve been a fan of your channel for so long! 😍 I’m a bit starstruck that you watched my video 🤩. Thanks so much for the fabric tip and where to look, there are so many online shops but I don’t find many in my searches that carry PTP regularly, so I’m excited to get recommendations!! Thank you!! ☺️💕
@@NeedleberryStitcher oh wow! Thank you so much! ☺️☺️I’m glad that I have found your channel. Best of luck in your quest for your fabric! Happy stitching! 🦩🦩🦩
i just happened upon your YT channel and I'm curious, do you cross stich without a pattern on the fabric? If so kudos to you I cannot image doing such projects without a printed panel. Your work is just lovely.
It requires lots of counting but there are lots of ways to grid the fabric to make the counting easier 👍😃 You should try, it’s fun!
May I ask what tablet you got for pattern keeper? I think it’s crazy I have an expensive iPad and I can’t use pattern keeper ☹️
I had the same problem! I bought an RCA tablet from Walmart.com that I found on sale. It was the cheapest Android tablet I could find, although apparently there’s a way to make Pattern Keeper work on a Kindle (I think there are some video tutorials on how to do that). But I didn’t have a Kindle either. Hope that helps!
Please please please please please please please please do the TW video. Please. ~J

Is your first E in Easter fully backstitched?
Yes it is, I think the lighting in my craft room is not very good 😌
Can you let me know where you get all your Mirabella patterns at Thank you have a great week
I’ve gotten them from a lot of different places over the years, but my favorite place lately (last couple of years) to buy from is Sandra’s Stitch Stash, she has an eBay store as well as an Etsy store but I usually buy from her through eBay, although I just realized recently that she has her own website to order through: sandrasstitchstash.com
I have also gotten some Mirabilia patterns from 123Stitch and Stitcher’s Inc. (via the Wichelt website). Out of print designs can many times be found on eBay, and sometimes very reasonable!
Ruth here, l wish we'd see cross stitch on, RESURRECTION SUNDAY', l don't think of it as Easter, that's pagan
To each his/her own, God bless!
