The blue herons are stunning, I love them. Beautiful works.
Those birds are amazing!!
Wow, you have made very beautiful projects. Such a great job. I love the herons and the peacock. I don't do French knots anymore, I use a matching color bead. Can't wait to see more.
Thank you!
Hi Liz, lovely to spend time with you. First time watching your channel, you have some gorgeous projects on the go and also fully completed. The birds of paradise and the blue herons are just stunning!
Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷 from Judy in New Zealand (FT. An Aussie in a Kiwi world)
Hi Judy! Thank you for watching!
LOVE your stuff! 😃👍🇬🇧
Thank you!
I just found your channel and I love it. You are quite an accomplished needleworker. I love everything you have shown, especially the Blue Herons and Butterfly Forest. Both have been on my wish list. I will be looking forward to your next episode. Take care and happy stitching.
Thank you so much!
Great projects. The blue herons are gorgeous!
Thanks! I love them so much.
Happy I was looking to watch someone new. Love all your past finishes. I love peacocks and I have that pattern for years. After seeing how beautiful yours is I am going to put it on my 2024 list . I will catch up with your past five videos.
Thank you for watching! I am a peacock fanatic too.
Your projects are gorgeous. I did a thomas Kincade and done seed beads instead of French knots.
That's also a great way to do it!
I just found you and loved all those finishes, so beautiful!
Thank you!
Great Blue Heron is stunning, that would be my first one to frame! Lots of beautiful pieces that I haven't seen elsewhere.
I love the herons! They definitely need to visit the framer when you have time. I also really enjoyed seeing your needlepoint finishes. So many cross stitchers share their quilting, knitting, crocheting, and even diamond painting, but I think this is the first time I've seen needlepoint and I really appreciated it.
Thanks for watching! I will share a bit of crochet and knitting too from time to time. My cross stitch and needlepoint bug is strong right now though.
Phenomenal stitching ❣️❣️ As I live in northwestern Minnesota I have many Great Blue Heron’s sit on my dock & spend much time fishing etc. they are one of my favorites so your piece made my heart go racing…was just stunning ♥️. Was wondering if you have thought about different ways to display your works of art before they are framed so to enjoy? Thanks for sharing beautiful artwork! Happy stitching to you..
Thank you! They are such a beautiful bird. I haven't really delved too far into other methods of finishing pieces yet. Totally open to ideas though.
Liz, justice for that Blue Heron piece! He's a beautiful piece that deserves to be framed and displayed on the wall.
Loved seeing your completed projects.
One day I will get there! :D I am the worst at fully finishing!
Beautiful stitching. The Blue Herons definitely need to be framed.❤❤❤
Thank you!
Just found you and subscribed. :-)
Thank you for the video and thank you for sharing such beautiful work.
Thank you for watching!
Love your finishes. Love the castle and the Herons.
Thank you!
Amazing projects thanks for sharing
I'm glad I stumbled on your video. Your Kinkaid's are gorgeous but those french knots. Your finishes are lovely, I hope your husband knows what good taste he has.
Thank you!
I loooove blue herons! ❤️🇨🇦
Your husband is a great shopper! I've been admiring "the blue herons" for years, but just haven't bitten the bullet to purchase it. Now that I've seen completed - I am tempted to add it to my collection and stitch one day when I am retired, and/or have completed the 17 WIPs (the majority are full coverage) I have on the go.
Yes he is! It's definitely worth it, a fun and pretty fast stitch.
Gorgeous pieces of art you’ve got there!!! I am amazed… 😮 You’ve got yourself a new subscriber! ❤
Thank you!!
What a fun video. My mother gave my sister and I a lot of needlepoint kits when we were young…a few of the stitches were effective enough to frame. I agree…if you are going to hand us an awesome craft project as a gift, it needs to include three hours uninterrupted to start it. I am also a fairly new flosstuber….i hope you have as much fun as I do.
Definitely! Stitching time should be part of the gift! Thanks for watching!
You have some beautiful projects the herons are gorgeous. Ive subscribed
Thank you!
You have some beautiful finishes there! It's interesting to me seeing older patterns sometimes as i haven't been stitching for too long/fell off of it for years after doing it a lot in my childhood. I need to look at what needlepoint is and how it works, i hear about it sometimes and I'm getting curious :D
Needlepoint at its most basic is just half cross stitches! Jump on in, it's fun.
@@stitchinliz aaah the one where you basically stitch with the thicker yarn? I think i did that as a child, i remember it was being fun. might try it again eventually :)
I've done it with all different kinds of threads, but yes, it can be thicker. @@sensneedleworks
Beautiful stitching! I have a pile, too, and someday, I'll frame them all. I just stumbled on your channel and will subscribe now. Im curious about the afghan behind you on the chair. Have you shown it in your video before? If not, can you please? Im going to go watch your other videos now.
Thanks for subscribing! I haven't shown that afghan, it's actually so large that it would be hard to see, but I can definitely show part of it at least.
Just found your channel. Beautiful stitches. I am also drawn to a project by the colours or the challenge of the chart.
Thanks for watching!
Love that Lothrorien ❤ I'm doing All aboard Hogwarts express from that shop, love it 🤩
I got that one too! So many fun patterns!
@@stitchinliz great! I have changed the colors for the train, so I will be interested in if you are gonna go with the colors called for, or change them. In my world Hogwarts express is red, not brownish lol.... the nerd I am 😝
I started with Lothlorien and haven't looked very closely at the train yet. Good call though - I may have to do the same.@@RandomStitcher
I have to agree with you about the Dimensions kits. I've done two, and ran out of several colors in both. The designs are so nice! But if I do another one, I will kit it up with DMC. I have considered doing the Amid Amish Life panels, too, so I enjoyed seeing how yous turned out. Do you think that needlepoint canvases could be finished in crossstitch?
Absolutely yes! You can do a canvas with any stitch you like. The main thing is making sure you use a type of thread or number of strands that covers as well as you like.
Wow! You have some gorgeous pieces, Liz! And I loved seeing your needlepoints! I also love needlepoint but haven’t done it in a long time. Will definitely have to correct that. Your stitched peacock at the end was magnificent! If you get nothing else framed, you need to get that one done. I DO have a question for you! None of your Needlepoint looked warped, which led me to believe that you use a frame of some sort. Could you please share about that? Did you block them yourself?
I am so glad to find a fellow Needlepointer fan that I need to know all the things! Will be following to see all your updates!
Thank you! It depends on the piece and what I have available for frames. Sometimes I use stretcher bars and pin the piece to it, sometimes I just use my Q-snaps or other roll frames. I think your tension as you stitch is really the most important. I never block, I'm so bad! :)
I have also been known to put a needlepoint piece in a Q snap! Whatever works, right? Yours are so evenly tensioned they all look like they’ve been blocked! Great job! Do you have more than one on the go at a time? Your husband is amazing at picking out kits!!!
He gets a little help - I give him hints at times. I have something like 50 projects right now. :D @@teresaboyer284
All your finished objects are glorious! Did you teach yourself needlepoint or did you take classes. Seeing all your needlepoint is making me want to learn. Great video!
Thank you! My grandmother taught me some simple plastic canvas needlepoint when I was little so I just took what I learned from that and jumped in.
you have so much beautiful needlepoint. have you considered getting measurements and browsing thrift store frames?
(also, 21:10 go huskies. rip pact 10 / 12)
GO COUGS! 😆 I have considered it, something about framing scares me a bit but I really should look into it.
