the queen will be a lovely addition to anyone's wip pile!
Loving your Bountiful Blooms and Modern Folk Embroidery project! Absolutely stunning. Your quilts are so beautiful.
Thank you!
This is such a fun and great idea for a quilt! Loving the heart, well done. Your videos always inspire. Ditching ufos saves you time and stress 😊 keep up the great work.
Thank you!! I agree, so much less stress!
I am a new subscriber and look forward to watching you. I would love to adopt your Dark Queen for
a special friend of mine. She is autistic but very talented with art and loves to help me stitch. This
would be right up her alley and I know she would love stitching it and it would get finished.
Keep up the great work and beautiful stitching,!
I would love to adopt your queen dnf. It is really cool of you to pass along all the supplies too! ❤
Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Thank you! 😊
Hey Brijin! All those lovely wips. The Manning design is beautiful. It's so fun to follow that hashtag. And then of course the Greenhouse... It's going to be so good. Much love, Gen
Thanks Gen!😉💖
Wonderful video. Love your pacing and the way you talk about your stitching. Very enjoyable. I have so many Carolyn Manning charts and have started any. You are an inspiration.
Aww, thank you so much!!💖
I would love to adopt your ufo. I have never tried to stitch one of these so would LOVE the adventure of trying one! She woyld be loved and finished!!! Thank you for thinking about my want
Wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed "The Echo of Old Books". It is likely I would have never found this book without your book review and recommendation and I really loved this book! Keep doing what you do!
Aww, you just made my day! Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I would love to stitch a Queen. That’s amazing ❤
New subscriber here! I really like the designs you've chosen to stitch! Mystery SALS are also something I've not 'yet' tried but do plan to do so when it's a designer I like! I'll jump in when I know it's the right one! I love your Queen. I'd love to stitch one!
Aww, welcome!💖
You have done such great work on your Queen! I would love to adopt her!
Thank you!
Okay but the Carolyn manning looks so good 🤩 Happy Place was on my list but now I’m definitely going to read it sooner because that sounds very relatable, I need all my friends to move back to the same city as me stat!
Me too!! It's one of the saddest parts of school ending!😢 I will say, the romance itself wasn't my favorite of the Emily Henry's, but the friend group made up for it!
The Carolyn Manning piece Bountiful Blooms is going to be amazing, Brijin. I also love the Taylor Swift quilt. Take care.
Thank you!!💖
Brijin, your stitching is exquisite! I love your CM start 😍 and your TSwift quilt is coming along so nicely. You chose such great colors - each combo is beautiful together. Nice work! No hard feelings on UFO'ing a project - there are so many projects to choose from, why be unhappy stitching one? (I feel the same way about books - I'm a big fan of the DNF!) I have "Hart & Mercy" on my shelf and wasn't sure if I was going to read it or not, but after your review, I think it might be next on my list. I'm game for something weird 🤭 I hope you're having a great week! Happy stitching 💜
Aww, thank you so much!! I hope you like Hart and Mercy!! Happy stitching to you too!😉💜
I found your channel only yesterday and already binged through half your videos! And now I see a new one, yay me!
Welcome!! I'm so glad you're enjoying it!💖
Your queen is beautiful but I can understand UFOing her. Glad to have your catch up! Thanks for taking time out of your day to do so.
I would be happy to adopt your queen ufo! My friend is stitching it and she talked about cross charting it with only the "queen of the sea's" face and will use the green or teal colorway for the hair instead of the red... i think it may come out beautiful
Mystery SALs always make me anxious, I was loving everything for Dark Queen until the face reveal. it’s grown on me since the initial reveal, it just really wasn’t what I was expecting. I still started it for my birthday because I do love the rest of it
It’s ok not to want to stitch a certain pattern. I ended up getting rid of 2. I felt bad about it, because I was almost half way done. But I’m over it! On to ones I really want to stitch!
I can’t wait to see your quilt! The picture of it looks so pretty! Can’t wait for your next video! Take care
I agree! There's no reason we should make ourselves stitch projects we aren't into anymore! It's supposed to be a fun hobby!💖
I would love to adopt the queen ❤
Hello. I am interested in your queen. I am in Australia and happy to pay for postage ❤. I don't generally sign up for stitch alongs as I like to know the whole thing before I begin. You do you Queen 👑
I agree with you on the face design of the Dark Q of the Earth, I wasn't a fan of the reveal. No harm in dropping something that you're not interested in anymore.
BTW, you're hair is super cute in this video!
I love the Manning design you picked! I haven't had a chance to start mine yet, but I will soon!
Aww, thank you so much! Can't wait to see which one you go with! There's so many good choices!
I love the queen.
I would love to adopt your queen!! I have the pattern but have not started her yet or collected the supplies. Your stitching looks fantastic!
Thank you!
Queen would be welcome in my home. She looks lovely already.
Thank you!
I would love to adopt your Queen! 💕
Would love to stitch the queen. I’ve been getting through stitching some of the witches by Autumn Lane but hope to one day do the sea queen and earth queen.
Hey Brijin! Omg I’m in funky town too! I just started cross stitching about 2 months ago! Maybe one day I will run into you at stitch niche or a local yarn store in town 😊. I would love to adopt your queen 👸
Yay! Always happy to have new stitchers around here!💖
Great video!
Thank you!
@@TheMuseumStitcher I am planning to kit up “The Flower A Day Stitch Along” today for the Carolyn Manning May SAL! 😊
Omg Brijin, I just started the Dark Queen of the Earth, I love that alternate face! I would have totally taken this off your hands but I just put my first 2600 stitches in this weekend. I see some others are interested in adopting her so that’s good to hear. Working on my Greenhouse of Oddities SAL as I’m watching this video, I’m at 70%.
Wow thats so far on Greenhouse! I'm really excited to see what that one starts looking like here in just a couple weeks! I've gotta get my butt in gear and get caught up!
I would love to adopt your Queen project.
I have always wanted to stitch one of the queens! That's amazing of you to share it. Your stitches are all beautiful.
Your Carolyn Manning is even more beautiful than I thought it would be. I can't wait to see your progress on that. Your Era's quilt is coming along so fun. Can't wait to see your finished one back.
Thank you! I totally agree, there's something about the Carolyn Manning cover photos that don't do the stitched pieces justice! They're just so much better in person! (or on screen!)💖
I would give your queen a good home! I’ve actually got the pattern but not pulled the trigger on getting all of the supplies 💕💕💕
On board also with Carolyn Manning design. Thanks for Sharing! Stay safe and Happy Stitching!!!❤
I have figured out how to scan and upload paper charts, specifically Mirabilia/Nora Corbett charts, to Mark-up. It works well enough for me!
That's my next task, I would really love to get my mira in there!
@@TheMuseumStitcher I can give you a few pointers if you want. It’s not perfect but it has been a total game changer for me!
I LOVE how the quilt blocks are coming out! It's gonna be the coolest. I also love how you included a heart for the show where she announced Speak Now Taylor's Version 😍😍
I had too, it was just too exciting! I may also do one for the July 7th show!
I would be thrilled to adopt your Queen project. I am too chicken to start a mystery SAL at the beginning but now that I have seen her face, I can safely say I would love to stitch her!
💜☮️
Ok absolutely obsessed with bountiful blooms 😍 sooo my vibe! Gorgeous work as always. Super excited to continue to see the progress on the Eras quilt! I’ve been in my Swiftie era lately! One of my best friends was at the same show you were!
Thank you so much!! And how funny! It was a fantastic show!💖
I’m a epp and quilter…I have two words for you…Tula Pink.Beautiful stitching and amazing quilt! ❤️🧵
Oh I've been following Tula for years! I'm a big fan!😉💖
Okay this hair and lipstick. Guuurrrrllllll you are literally stunning. I’m obsessed. Your love gains is absolutely amazing. You know that’s one of my favs. Your quilt looks great. Can’t wait to see it! I’m getting to excited about stitch con. Eeeee!!! Love you so much!! ❤🎉
Thanks babes!! Love you too!!💖
Those Carolyn Manning designs are stunning! You are a Queen love❤
Omg! I would love to adopt your dark queen!❤❤❤ thank you!!!!
I don't like mystery SALs I usually wait til all the clues are out. I didn't like the face either but I will be getting the dark queen of the seas sometime soon.
That's unfortunate about the queen SAL, but I totally get it. I'm always so hesitant about mystery SALs, even from designers I love, like Autumn Lane Stitchery. But I actually do love how this one looks so far. The face I think has like...otherworldly vibes, like she's made out of crystal or rock or something. Idk, it's kind of weird, but is also pretty cool. Regardless though, good for you for setting boundaries and not forcing yourself to stitch on something you're not enjoying. I wish I could do that with some gifts I've already committed to...😂
I also totally agree about the YA books! Sometimes they just seem lacking.
Oh definitely! Somehow, gift stitching turns into the biggest chore!😂
So happy you are adopting it out
I would like to take Autumn Queen. I wii give it a good home.
I would love to adopt your Dark Queen. I stitched the Dark Queen of the Sea and have been thinking about doing this one also.
Life is too short to stitch things you don’t love anymore - retire that one and start 5 new ones!! - Nic x
Lol I think I've already started 4 since I UFO'd it!😂
I would love to adopt your Dark Queen!
The eras quilt is everything!! Nice to finally see a Rep block! I was wondering when you showed your plans for this how long it was going to take before she played a song from that album! I’ve been live steaming her shows every weekend to relive the high from the Arlington show I still haven’t come down from. I also took advantage of your coupon code and ordered some floss drops and I’m obsessed! I was wondering though how you store them once your project is finished? Do you leave the floss on them? Hang them up somewhere? Not sure how I want to go about storing these things once they have floss on them and I’m not using them. ❤
I nearly rolled out of bed, I was so excited when she played Gorgeous! Oh as far as storage, I have a big ziploc bag where I keep all of my floss drop supplies! So I put all my extra hearts and thread drops of various brands on binder rings in the bag, along with some sharpies, scissors, labels, thread winders, all those kinds of things! So then when I'm kitting or de-kitting everything I need to floss drop my floss is in one place! I don't usually store floss on my thread hearts long term, because I put my DMC in a bobbin box, but my plan is to flip over to the atom heart thread bobbins in my bobbin box eventually! Then I'll just use the hearts for fancy floss, and put the fancy floss back on the manufacturers card after!
@@TheMuseumStitcher ha! Hopefully you get a few more rep blocks on there by the time the our is over!! Thanks for explaining your storage system!!! :)
😊🙂✌️
Loving how the quilt is turning out! Where/what video did you mention the DMC conversion for the Vanity Sampler SAL? I'm having a hard time finding it. Thanks!
Thank you! The conversion was actually done by my friend Cam the Stitcher! I believe she will share it if you send her a DM on Instagram!
Congrats on letting go of that WIP that no longer served you. Did it take you a while to work yourself up to it? It usually does me.
Omg it did! I've been considering it for like 3 months, and just never did it! It's hard when you've sunk several thousand stitches into something! But it definitely felt freeing afterwards!
I would love to adopt your queen! Also what video do you use to sew your bags? I am wanting to learn, but am so intimidated
Which bags, I tend to make a lot of different kinds!😂 If you're looking for a good basic project bag, I highly recommend Elizabeth ann can stitch's tutorials. I use different sizes than hers, but the basic construction is similar!
@@TheMuseumStitcher yes, definitely the basic bags 😂😂😂 I’ve had my sewing machine since December and haven’t used it yet. Very beginner lol
Where can I get the DMC floss conversion for Goth Vanity Sampler?
It was done by my friend Cam the Stitcher! I believe she'll send it to you if you shoot her a DM on Instagram!
Hello since you guys are doing the the Vanity Sampler i was wondering if you can answer my question the second butterfly/moth on the right is it supposed to have a different color for the bottom right of its wing???
I relooked at the pattern and i guess that butterfly does have a different color
Holy cow! I'm impressed you were able to notice that from the tiny image! It is supposed to be different; I just swapped out the colors, I didn't make any changes to the chart!
I just noticed cuz that lil part was blue and the other butterfly didnt have the same but i totally changed the color pallet for this
So Caraval - yes, I also feel like I have “outgrown” YA Fantasy but this series especially is so overhyped. I read all three because I’m a completionist and they don’t get any better. It was really hard to pinpoint exactly what wasn’t working because the premise is pretty cool and the characters are reasonably well-developed. It’s really not worth continuing the series if you’re not feeling it - except that they’re pretty quick and easy reads! I have been hesitant to give her new series a try (even though I’ve seen positive reviews) because I found this to be so meh.
Okay I'm glad it wasn't just me! I def won't continue the series then! Yeah the new series really isn't worth it either in my opinion! But it is kinda baffling, it seems like it would be amazing but something doesn't work!
I don't blame you at all for abandoning your WIP, that's exactly why I don't enjoy mystery SAL's. She was looking beautiful but I don't like her face at all.
