Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
I like the Blooms/Paper piecing quilty design the best of the three, but they are all really beautiful, so you can't really go wrong :)
If I had my choice of the three patterns it would be bountiful blooms. Will be beautiful when finished!
I’m so glad you enjoyed Taylor - it looked like a good night for a concert! I loved your finish of the Midnight piece, very cute! - Nic x
Thanks Nic!!
Excited for you to start the Gentle Rain! Can't wait to see what fabric you pick. Another great video as usual! :) Have a great week!
Another great video! I love that you said “no math, just vibes”. Totally how I live my life too. Someone suggested you should do it as a stitch… agree!
Lol if only I was a designer!
Bountiful Blooms gets my vote
I too am a quilter. Of the three patterns that you are considering, l favor the “ Bountiful Blooms”. Love your videos. Thank you.
I love my Zamat pillow because it has relieved my neck pain. Enjoyed seeing your projects. Hope you are out enjoying the weather, I feel the same way you have and am finally sitting out on the patio stitching and enjoying the beautiful weather before it cools off again next week.
Thank you! Enjoy your patio stitching, how fun!
Bountiful Blooms!
Bountiful blooms!!!
Bountiful blooms!! I am in search too, love it!
I love your stitching! I love Bountiful Blooms! I think I will purchase that and stitch along.
That's awesome! We'd love to have you join the SAL!
Your Taylor Swift shirt is awesome! So glad y'all had a great time. I love all the patterns but am leaning towards Ocean Deep in warm tones.
“No Math, Just Vibes” needs to be a stitch. Such a good life motto. 😂
Lol, ain't that the truth!
💯
My vote is for warm tones ocean deep. I think it looks amazing. I also liked the English paper pieced.
Thank you! The english paper pieced one was the overwhelming winner of the comments section, so I'm gonna start with that one!
Love all the color waves. I would stitch them all, but that is me: I usually re stitch many many projects (or certain motiffs or parts of a chart). We are so lucky we have so many choices & so much variety of charts/patterns to chose from. It's a great hobby, yes ? Glad you enjoyed Taylor Swift.
A fantastic hobby, for sure!
I’m definitely joining on the Carolyn Manning SAL. Her patterns are so cool! I think the warm-toned ocean deep would look really cool, I think it would be a unique one to try! Always love seeing your stitching. So many great plans and projects in the works!
I'm so excited! The comments section overwhelmingly chose Bountiful Blooms, so I'm gonna work on that one! But I'll get to the Ocean Deep conversion one day!
Solar Flare as called for is fabulous.
I am a fan of Bountiful Blooms. Happy stitching.
If the master says bountiful blooms, then bountiful blooms it is!!😉💖
@@TheMuseumStitcher ❤️❤️
Loooove your colour conversion, but I vote bloom. So pretty! You have beautiful projects.
Thank you!!
Great video
I’m definitely going to be stitching the Meet Me at Midnight piece. I love your finish! I was at the Arlington show on the 31st as well and am thinking it will be a fun little piece to remember it by!
My vote is for Bountiful Blooms! 🌸
Concert twins! One of my friends who was there with me started it as a memento piece too!
I love the way you ffo'd your Taylor Swift piece. I'm not much help in deciding, because I think they would all be beautiful. I'm more drawn to the paper piecing inspired one, but that's because I'm a quilter too and the colors are more my jam. Like I said, they'd all be beautiful. I love the pink on pink idea. It's very sweet and feminine. I'm going to have to do the rose quaker for sure at some point, I'm so in love with it.
I love all her quilting designs, it's so hard to choose! The bountiful blooms one is seeming to get the most traction in the comments though, so that may end up being the winner!
I’m stitching Roladex Mourning Sampler this week as my focus on a finish! ❤
Lol there must have been the vibes for it in the air!! It's so cute, I can't wait to see your finish!
I’d love to see your version of ocean deep
I am just about finished with my Real Comfort sampler and I even showed it in my latest video! It was a nice change to do a 1 color stitch. Your pink version is so fun!
I agree! Having a good monochromatic wip going at all times is nice!! But I think this makes number 3 or 4.... maybe I need to cool it!😂
❤❤❤
About to message the chat now to see about a start date for Rose Quaker.
Cannot wait to start my off brand pink on pink with DMC 915 and blush by zweigart! 😆 loving your projects, as always.
I’m also loving the side bangs, you look like a vintage queen. 🥰😍❤️
Thanks, boo! The bangs grow out journey has been ROUGH! You make it look so easy!😉
I’d like to help you select your Carolyn Manning, but I like two. I would probably stitch the quilt flowers as I’m a quilter, but I love the color change you used for the first chart. I’m currently reading A Dangerous Business by Jane Smiley. Happy stitching!
Happy stitching to you too!
I always love your flosstubes. I just recorded my first flosstube at Debora Carroll Stitcher
That's awesome! Welcome to the flosstube side of things!!
😊💕
First of all, I love the side bangs! 🏵️ My vote is for the quilty one to start in the called for colors. Thought... wouldn't it be cool if you could create a vision of Taylor similar to your T-shirt to cross stitch? 😀
Thank you!! Oooooh, I'll have to mock that up!! Only issue is there's 10 taylor colors and 16 colors called for in the pattern! But I may see!
Oh, no...I meant take your T-shirt picture of Taylor and make a cross stitch pattern of her in Taylor colors...EPIC!!
do ocean deep but in solar flare colors :). I'd love that conversion if you have it handy!
If you shoot me a message on Insta, I'll send it over!
I’m doing solar flare right now with the original colors and it would be super fun to watch you work on it with your fun conversion. I just started The Maid by Nita Prose and recently finished Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo and it was a good time
I really love your color conversion for the carolyn manning piece :) I look forward to seeing whichever one you start though. I hope you have a good week! Your FFO'ed Taylor Swift piece is beautiful.
Thank you!! It's been so fun seeing everyone's votes on here!
🌸🌸🌸
Awesome video as usual! Can’t wait to get cracking on Gentle Rain. I vote for Solar Flare the original version ☄️ Also I bought the first Finlay book recently and was planning to bring it on my vacation in May!
I just got the shipping notification for my fancy floss for Gentle Rain this morning! I'm so excited! And omg Finlay is the perfect vacay read!! Be warned, the first book ends on a cliffhanger that's gonna have you immediately reaching for the next one!😉😂
Same here with the Six of Crows Duology(?), I was burned out and didn't know what was going on. Maybe I'll try again, good call. I don't know why I've been putting off Mourning Sampler, when you start it, I might start it too! What a motivating video, thank you!
I actually really enjoyed the series reading it on it's own! Crooked Kingdom was really good, I recommend giving it another shot for sure! And yay for Mourning Sampler!!
do the blooms one, it is lush :D xx
i like solar flare as called for! also fellow swiftie 🤠✨🎆🧣🗽🐍💖🪩🥂🕛 and reader here
I'm excited that you are starting a SAL for Gentle Rain because after i saw Cross Stitch Cait's i ordered it from 123stitch - they were out of the called for linen but i got 36 count Kunzite by Fiber on a Whim , it's one of their new colours and it is soooo beautiful.
Ooh I've seen that linen! It's gorgeous! I'm gonna be using PTP Truffle for mine!
I love Ocean Deep as those are my colors. But I think its cool you kitted up Solar Flare. I think that's more your jam! But oh, if I were you, I'd be going with Bountiful Blooms (maybe as a future Project!
I'm reading Sleeping in Eden by Nicole Baart. It's a murder mystery.
Bountiful Blooms definitely seems to be the majority vote so far! It's gorgeous!
I like the solar flare color palette for ocean deep but I wonder about replacing the black with a deep purple/red instead - otherwise I think it looks really good!
Actually there's no black in that one! Solar flare had 17 colors and ocean deep only had 16, so I cut the black when I did the conversion!
My vote is definitely bountiful blooms! I feel like the bottom right corner loses a little something with the color conversion. But that probably isn’t a terribly hard fix if you choose to go with option 1.
Bountiful Blooms was overwhelmingly the winner!! I agree, I think the conversion needs a little more work with color placement, so I'm gonna keep playing with it and maybe start that one after!
Glad you had a good time at the Taylor Swift concert. I started the Gentle Rain recently. I just finished Nora Goes Off Script if you are looking for a finish romance.
I actually read that one back in February!
I’m not a huge fan of the Grishaverse, I can appreciate how her writing developed but I’ve been stalled on Rule of Wolves for ages. I did really like Six of Crows though and her Ninth House series.
I’m awful at colour conversions but I enjoy seeing the process of others working it out. Also those ones in your haul are gorgeously bright.
I'm right there with you with the Grishaverse! It'll probably be another few years before I start with King of Scars, just to give myself a break!😂
Sooo jealous you saw Taylor!! The last tour I saw was 1989 and she is just so amazing live!
Before Eras, the last tour of hers I saw was Speak Now! A lot has changed, lol! 1989 must have been so fun!
Love your mock up with the warm tones on ocean blue! I will have to look at that program as that is so much fun! In an off topic question.. do you curl your hair? I love the waves in your hair. Looks so pretty!
Thank you! And I actually use the heatless curlers from Bunnies hair! Not their microwave ones, but the originals! It gives me the best waves!!
I love your finish for Meet Me At Midnight!💜🕛I kitted up a couple projects this past weekend and discovered I'm running low on my Atom Heart floss bobbins. I'll be excited to put your discount code to use! I too am struggling to read (I didn't read any books last month!) I've started ACOMAF to help get me out of this slump!
Ooh ACOMAF is always a good slump buster for me!!😆 Sending all the good book juju your way!
Love your flosstube! I have a question regarding something you mentioned about a color conversion- it’s for the buying cross stitch like I’m immortal pattern.
Just wondering if you have seen it yet? You called it vampiric 🧛🏻♂️ colors. 🖤🖤🖤
Hi Janet! I actually am having a bit of a hard time understanding what you’re asking, could you help me out if I misunderstood? I think you might be asking if I’ve made my conversion yet, and I have not! I want it to be really dark and gothic, but I’ve had a few other projects on my starting lineup first! But I promise I’ll share it when it’s finalized! Happy stitching!
@@TheMuseumStitcher Oh sorry… but yes that’s it! Just wondering about the different (gothic style) colors for it that I thought I heard you mention. Now I’m wondering if I remembered it incorrectly 🤣🫣🤯
THANK YOU!
@@Highpocketstitcher No worries! I know I’m thinking somewhere around dmc 310, 3857, and 169, but haven’t officially laid anything out yet!
