Thank you for sharing ! They are beautiful ❤
They are amazing. Thank you for showing them so up close it gives me a better view of the details. Previews don't do these Chatelaines justice.
Yes! They are so much prettier in person. Thank you
Sooo beautiful. Thank you for this video. Happy stitching
Thank you!
Thank You for sharing. I sit and watch your videos constantly. I started with your first one and I am inspired with each and every one. Your pieces are fabulous.Again thank you so so very much. I am going to stitch the Sparkling Peacock.Again Thank You so much.
Thank you for your sweet comment! This is why I love doing flosstube to inspire others to try something new or different!
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Chatelaines. I've been a fan of your channel for a long time. Please continue to show us other designs close up and talk about your experience stitching them!
Thank you for your feedback. Will try to do more close ups. Thank you!
Your work is absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you!
It is such beautiful work, thanks so much for sharing those beauties !!!!🤩
My pleasure 😊
Your peacock chatelaine blew me away. The threads, beads and your stitching are gorgeous. This flosstube was so bad for my credit card. 😂
I know what you mean about Flosstube being bad for your credit card 😂 Thank you!
I’m trying to stitch while watching your video and I’m not getting very much stitching done because I am gobsmacked by your Chatelaines. They are so beautiful and all the specialty stitches look so amazing.
Thank you!
Thanks so much. This was a great video. I agree - the peacock design is one of the prettiest patterns ever, and yours looks incredible. I hope you can frame it soon. ❤
Thank you!
Wow, these are amaaaazing.
Thank you!
Oh my goodness! Beautiful work! I’ve never been brave enough to try one of those! Thanks for sharing!😊
Thank you!
No one shows close ups like you do and it’s so appreciated! What lovely finishes! I always enjoy seeing your projects!
Thank you! I love seeing close ups of pieces too!
Your work is amazing! Love the close up looks and explanation of the stitches. I never new there were so many fancy stitches in this art. When I'm caught up on all my need to stitch projects I would like to give a chatelain design try. I recently got back to cross stitching and I'm still working my way up to using linen again. Thank you for posting your beautiful work.
They are so much fun to stitch! I love working on the specialty stitches. Hope you give it a try! Happy stitching
Looks like a combination of x , embroidery , and beads. It’s beautiful. ❤
I mean all of them 😂
Thank you! They are a lot of fun to work on!
Amazing what you have accomplished! 🌹
Thank you!
I’ve just found your channel and am so glad! Your chatelaines are gorgeous. I’m kitting up my first now (medieval herb garden) and have plans to start next year for my 40th! Your close ups of the stitches and talking through what may be a future issue or not was so helpful. thanks so much!
They are so much fun to stitch once you start going! Glad my video helped you. Enjoy!
Beautiful work, thank you for sharing ❤️
Thank you!
Your stitching is beautiful! I'm finishing up a portion of the winter fairy chatelaine banner and was considering starting a mandala. I've been putting it off because I was worried about getting bored with the repetition, but you've convinced me, it's time!
Thank you! Sometimes I do get bored with the repetition but I push on through because the end result is amazing!
Beautiful, Elaina! I'm one of those who drools over Chatelaine, but am scared to take the plunge. 😅
Thank you! It’s not so bad once you get started
Amazing! Thank you for sharing close up and all the lovely tips along the way. I have been admiring the design but too scared to even purchase any - can’t imagine it getting done with the rate of my stitching
They are a labor of love for sure! Very enjoyable to stitch though
Love your Chatelaines and videos about them
Thank you!
I love your chatelaines ❤. What you should do to stop it slipping out is sew a channel either end to fit the dowel rod into then it can't slip out
That’s a great idea! Thank you!
Yes. Thank you for sharing your Chatelaines up close and talking about them. More importantly, thank you for also encouraging us to not be afraid to try them out. 🎉😊 . You really did a beautiful job 🤗🤓
Thank you! Hopefully it will inspire more people to give them a try!
Stunning!! Thank you for sharing
Thank you!
Gorgeous! I love peafowl.
Thank you! It's my favorite too
Absolutely speechless. Gorgeous. Masterpieces. Lord Jesus. Just Beautiful
Thank you!
They are exquisite!!!
Thank you!
Absolutely AMAZING video. Omg thank you so much for walking us through your gorgeous stitching. I’m in love!!!
Thank you Maggi!
Unbelievable! Every time I watch your channel, I get the itch to start my "Serengeti Mandala." These close-up shots of the stitching - exhilarating. Thank you for continuing to inspire me to be brave and put that first stitch in (and seriously accept that it should be done on linen and not the 16-count Aida I contemplated). I dream of one-day (it may take me six years) when I can proudly display my finished piece.
Yes, you should start it! They’re such a joy to stitch once you get started!
Thanks for sharing your amazing pieces. I love chatelaines, and love so much to see them in real stitching.
Thank you! Hopefully the sparkle showed in the video. They are so much prettier in person
I hve never seen this before, stunning😮work. I stitch not so long...
chatelaine.de There are many beautiful designs!
Thank you for showing your Chatelaines so close up. They're amazing!
Thank you!
A. Stonishing!!! ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you!
Get the kitty off that gorgeous stitching. 😊
He’s naughty 😹
Well, Elena, you just cost me a fortune! I’ve been looking for something a bit more challenging than cross stitch and the Sparkling Peacocks Chatelaine is exactly what I’ve been looking for. It’s gonna be several months before the kit ships, but it’ll be well worth the wait. Thank you for opening the door to a new stitching journey. Also, which frame do you use?
They are such a joy to stitch! So glad you took the dive and ordered one. I use the Quantum frames by Omanik. If you're in the US you can order them through Hobby House Needleworks or Lindy Stitches. They're pricey but I love them. Happy stitching!
Ok I'm still learning. Heard the terminology, but what exactly is a chatelain? Is there a special purpose for it in Needlework? This is gorgeous
I think a Chatelaine is something to attach to your belt. I’m referring to the designs by Martina Rosenberg here though. She designed many beautiful cross stitch patterns before passing a few years ago. chatelaine.de
I am waiting for my kit for Flower Fairy Mandala and oh woow ❤ how did you manage to get in on 80 cm bars? What is your margin?
The fabric is 28 inches (71 cm) so I still have a bit of room on each side. It's been a fun stitch! Enjoy!
What size rods did you stitch this on.Can you recommend the best frame and rods to stitch these on?
I use quantum frames by Omanik. Lindy stitches sells them in her shop online if you’re in the US. I like to use the 80 cm by 20 cm. I’m not sure if that size works for all mandalas but that’s what I’m using for fairy flower garden
I'm always willing to try something new. But looks like they're stitched on linen only. Can they be done on Aida?
I think it would be difficult to stitch on Aida. You would have to pierce the fabric quite a bit to do a lot of the specialty stitches and some designs also have over one. I think linen or an evenweave is a better choice for Chatelaines.
Thank you. I'm venturing out now on linen and evenweave. Soon as I feel a little more confident, I'm definitely trying one of these designs. They are just gorgeous.
