Holy Cow that Consider the Lily's is giant. And every stitch is one stitch closer to a finish.
Wow you have an amazing set of wips! I love them all! Just one stitch at a time! Thank you for sharing! Happy stitching!
Your progress on your wips is beautiful . Your framed pieces are great. Love the frames you picked. Til next time
Thank you for sharing all of your incredible stitching, Lauren.
Your stitching is awesome and I enjoy your Flosstube.
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Thank you for another wonderful video! Your stitching is beautiful!
I always am more motivated in cooler weather, too. I thought you had a lot of finishes! Beautiful stitching!!❤
Love your recent purchases/plans, I’m very much in a autumnal mood…I think it’s the colour palette!
Always love watching you videos. Your finishes are absolutely gorgeous and I love all your other projects you are working on. I am also doing the Summer Quaker and loving it. Looking forward to your next FlossTube.
Loved seeing your projects! You have made a lot of progress, even though you don't think you have - especially Summer Quaker!
Every single project is a slay!! I love catching up with your stitching, and can’t wait to see what you get done this month! So glad your bug is back!
Lauren, it's good to see you back with some beautiful stitching. Consider the Lilies is just breathtaking. I can't imagine me doing something that large, but all of you who stitch large samplers inspire me. Happy September Sampler stitching.
Thank you so much! It has certainly been a labor of love, I can't wait to finally see it done and on my wall to enjoy :)
I also can't wait to see the Autumn Quaker from Lila also! Such great patterns! I've got Mary Ann Coop, but I'm having fabric dilemma's...but that will be a start soon, so I'll join you on that trip!
Love your two finishes! Beautiful work!😊
Beautiful projects to love
The blue flower is probably my favorite designer. I love your framed huckleberry farm. I need to kit mine up and start it.
Definitely do it - it was such a fun stitch and despite being big moved pretty quickly. I split it up into sections so that I didn't do all those intricate branches at once and that worked well for me. I still think that yellow house is my favorite house I've stitched thus far!
@@newhampshirestitcher I like the idea of splitting it into sections, makes setting “goals” easier too.
Yay! You’re back and have conquered your stitchy drought! Everything is beautiful, as usual, but your finishes are gorgeous! How great to have the two samplers framed. Somebody else (I can’t remember the Flosstuber) finished Huckleberry Farm recently and I kicked myself in the rear because I had that chart but sold it in a destash. Now I’m seeing it finished and have serious regrets! So, I did what any red-blooded cross stitcher would do…… I placed an order for the chart (again!),threads and fabric. 🙄😄
Haha I love this! That is why I am paranoid about letting go of charts I haven't stitched because this is exactly what would happen to me 😂
I'm doing 36 count for my HFLM Pumpkin House! I think I chose Indigo and Beige from WDW! 😊
Oh! Your framed blueflower piece is gorgeous.! 😍 All your stitching is beautiful. Glad your stitchy bug is back.😊
Thank you so much!
Love your finishes. Very ambitious plans, you have. I am also knitting a simple ‘top’ but find it very time-consuming. None-the-less, I will persevere. I am also happily working on a new method of ‘parking’ called Royal Rows that has seen an insurgence in getting through my oldest WIP (2018) called Determine by Dana Bathos of Peacock & Fig. Happy Stitching. Cheers!
I've heard Royal Rows are really helpful for full coverage! If I ever start mine I will likely do an approach similar to that. Hope you're getting lots of stitches in!
Thanks for the heads up on the next Lila Studio Quaker.. I’ve had a hankering to do a Quaker but couldn’t find just the right one. Love autumn colors so maybe this one will be it!
Yes that's how I felt about Quakers too! Hadn't tried one until this year then totally fell in love with Summer Quaker. Fingers crossed she releases Autumn soon 🤞
Your framed pieces are beautiful. I love all of your WIP's too. I'm glad your stitchy mojo is back, it always makes me sad when I'm in a slump.
Your framed pieces are gorgeous Lauren!! 😮 And the thumbnail is lookin great 🙌🏻
I can’t decide between the dark and light versions of Golden Delicious, but the longer I’m indecisive the lower my wip count is… so 😅 And I’m not done with the Pressed Flowers shawl, I have the border still to go and my knitting bug up and left 🫣
As you know my vote is dark!! And one day we will both have beautiful finished pressed flowers shawls... one day...
So glad your stitchy bug has returned! Loved the framed pieces too! Seeing your work finally fully finished is always a great incentive!
Until next time, enjoy the stitches!
Love your Finishes - they are so pretty.
Love your WIPS - making great progress on them.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Thank you for your video. Hey, progress is progress, even a small amount of stitches, or knitting count. I'm a crocheter, and you are making me want to finish the blanket I haven't picked it in several years. It's hot here in Chicagoland, so maybe when it cools off? Take care and happy stitching!
I would love to learn how to crochet some day! My friend taught me how to do a basic chain and single crochet a couple years ago, but it never really clicked for me at the time. Maybe I'll have to try again though 😊
I stitch 32 count PTP with one thread a lot, for smalls and things like that. I don't mind the coverage at all.
beautiful stitching! I am also knitting the half and half wrap - one in fingering and one in lace. My knitting mojo is just starting to come back now so hopefully I can start working on them again. :)
Two half and half wraps - wow!! That is incredible; I'm sure they will both be gorgeous. I'm just hoping I may be able to wear mine before it turns to spring again :)
Your two framed pieces are beautiful; the frames are the perfect compliments to each piece. "Consider The Lilies" will no doubt be a stunner when complete.
Thank you McKenna! I'm excited to finish Lilies but just embracing my whims and stitching whatever speaks to me right now ☺P.S. I loved your finish of Elizabeth Pyle - I never find anything cool like that for finishing!
Great video! I'm inspired...as always. Thanks for sharing your progress!
Glad your stitchy bug is back. Your framed pieces are gorgeous, what great deals on those frames! Summer Quaker is looking amazing. I love quakers & I really need to start that one. I was over the moon to hear you mention my name for the project bag, thank you so much!! I’ll shoot you a message in IG. 😊
Just saw your message - yay! Glad you enjoyed the video ☺
Beautiful stitching, Lauren! I also enjoyed seeing your knitting. The Pressed Flowers shawl…I was going to restart it this summer. However…I can’t find one of the skeins of yarn I bought for it! 😮 I know it’s in my house somewhere in a bag (likely). It’s safe wherever it is…if only I could remember where it is. Aack!
I hate when that happens with my craft supplies! And then I end up finding what I needed while looking for something entirely different 😂
@@newhampshirestitcher Good point! I wonder what else I haven’t seen in awhile. Perhaps I should look for that instead! 😂
You stitch on such beautiful pieces! Your framed pieces are absolutely stunning! You must be so happy to see them hanging in your home😊
Thank you! I love seeing them on my walls every day ☺
Your framed pieces turned out fantastic, Lauren!😍 I really love how the Autumn Quaker piece is turning out. Those crabs are darling!
Thank you!! I had no idea how much I'd enjoy a Quaker!
Consider the lilies is a major undertaking. It’s currently sitting in my WIPS right now. Your work is lovely . Very inspiring.
Your stitching is just lovely and oh my your finished pieces are Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thank you for watching!
Outstanding FFOs!
Beautiful projects as always and some very fun things come!
Your FFO's are beautiful! Consider The Lillies is turning out epic. And I love the loose curls in your hair, so pretty!
Thank you so much!!
Your framed pieces are gorgeous.
Beautiful FFOs and finishes! Happy your stitchy bug is back in time for autumn stitching. I’m completely enabled and have taken screen shots to purchase some patterns!
Thanks for a great video - the framing came out beautiful! I am one of those in Texas but glad the weather is turning nice for y’all😊 again, thanks for sharing your stitching and always making me laugh. 💜💜
Thank you for watching 😊 I hope Texas cools down soon!
Yay for your stitch bug returning!! Great finished pieces and ones in progress as well. You have some exciting patterns waiting to be started too🤗
Thank you for watching!
Oh, Lauren! Your FFOs are gorgeous! Thanks for helping me add to my chart shopping list. 😂. One would never know that Huckleberry Farm is in an $8 frame. I like your new strategy, bringing in an old finish with a new one, when you go to Michaels for framing. I may have to try something similar as I have so many FOs just stored away not being displayed or enjoyed. So glad your stitchy bug has returned! ❤
My pile of finished projects was really starting to bother me! Having a few new things on the walls is really inspiring me to get more done 😊
I finished the pressed flowers shawl last year and love it! Hopefully you will be able to get a start on it soon.
I would love to know if you have any tips! I find the chart a little difficult to read which is why I haven't restarted I think.
I sent you a DM on Instagram with some tips that hopefully can help!
“Apparently all I needed was insomnia to get this one finished” LMFAO 😂😂😂
Love your FFO pieces! Those frames are perfect ❤ I’m working on my BAP as I watch your flosstube 😉 Excited to put some more work on my BAP, as I’ve been very consumed with home in the garden 😊
It’s very easy to get consumed by that piece, I know from experience!!
Your FFOs are amazing! 😍 every time you post a video, a new pattern is added to my wishlist 😂. I’m glad your stitchy bug is back, I lost mine earlier this year so I know how you were feeling!
Aw thanks Kirsten! What chart caught your eye? I'm impressed you're even finding the time to stitch with a little one at home! ☺
@@newhampshirestitcher of course! This time it was birds of a feather! I’m lucky the little one is a good sleeper at night so I’m able to stitch a bit when she first goes down!
Just subscribed and your stitching is unbelievable! I’m a relative beginner so can’t imagine stitching on that gorgeous linen.
What are those things with the stars you use to roll up your piece? Seems a lot better than the clips I use. Thanks for the inspiration!
They are actually cable ties! If you search magnetic cable ties on Amazon they should pop up :)
☮️💜
It looks like one of the birds isn't finished in Birds of a Feather.
Hi Carol, I checked against the chart and the birds are all finished. The wing on the left bird is quite light against the fabric, maybe that is what you're seeing?
Your framed pieces are beautiful! Which Michael’s do you use? I use the one in Manchester and like their work. However, I don’t ever see their surplus frames.
I usually use the one in Seabrook! I have found their manager to be very good (she used to own a frame shop) and she trains the employees well!
This is my first video of yours. I really enjoyed your content. I have a question: Is there any over-one on the Three Things Sampler? I’m an Aida stitcher because of vision issues but I’d appreciate the information. Thanks for sharing your talent. ❤
Hi Kay, sorry for the delay in my reply! I just checked my chart and it looks like there is no over 1 in this chart so you should be good to go on Aida. The designer actually references using Aida in the description and I don't think she'd say that if there was any over 1. Happy stitching!
What are the two things you used on your Myra Blackburn pattern, to hold your excess linen out of the way??? Please tell me what they are called and where I can buy them. I wish I lived in New Hampshire. I love snow.
Hello! I am using magnets from Amazon. I've linked them here: a.co/d/g6Sz6dp Enjoy!
Such lovely work! What do you call the small magnets to hold your fabric on the a snaps? Thanks!
Hi there! They can be found on Amazon under magnetic cable ties - I am including a link to the ones I have: a.co/d/4rGjxi0
Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful framed pieces! I recently tried Michael’s and was satisfied with their quality. 💕🪡
They do a surprisingly good job! The manager at my Michael's used to own a frame shop so I think she does a good job at training the employees.

Hi Kathryn! Thanks for watching :) What I use to hold my linen is a set of magnetic cable ties - here's a link on Amazon to the ones I have: a.co/d/bh5da7X
