Such beautiful stitching. I so enjoy your videos not only seeing your handiwork but you are a pleasure to listen too. I look forward to seeing your roses on your sewing box. Thank you for sharing your work s
Thank you Nancy! I have started the roses for the sewing box and it is so pretty 😀. Happy stitching
That was a nice, long vlog with many & varied projects. I particularly like the September Sunflowers & the Marjolein Bastin Wildflowers. The sewing box would look
wonderful with the rose stitching added to it. I also stitch in hand & lately, after years & years going across, I have started stitching up & down & prefer that.
Thank you so much. So interessant to hear you have changed your way of stitching after so many years. Happy stitching 😀
So nice to see all of your creations and how you manage stitchy time on the train❤ How wonderful❣
I love my stitchy train journeys :)
Loved the red and black stitching. Very neat pattern you picked for the sewing box just perfect. Happy stitching.
Thank you so much. Happy stitching
My vote is the biscornu as you said you wanted to make one. You can always stitch again on a larger count fabric to make a pillow, or perhaps a small for a dough bowl!?!
Your projects are beautiful.❤
Thank you so much. Happy stitching
Thank you for another great episode. Your stitching is so lovely and your voice so soothing. Love your plans for the sewing box…just wish there was something closer to a finish to use on the top. But that rose band is stunning! Enjoy your holiday!
Thank you so much! The rose band sampler has been started and I am flying through it. So it won't take nearly as long as I anticipated. Wishing you a lovely week. Happy stitching
Lovely projects. Your sewing box will be lovely either way and the roses will look beautiful. Happy holiday and happy stitching 🌸💞🌸
Thank you so much! Happy stitching
Awesome episode. I especially like the last piece you are stitching. Changing the little cabin and the fence to blue adds so much to the piece. Enjoy your vacation!
Thank you so much. Happy stitching
Absolutely gorgeous projects. I love how you are very intentional in your stitching. I like the idea of making your squares into a biscornu. I hope you enjoy your time away from work, and get to travel. ❤
Thank you so much! I finished the biscornu and it turned out lovely. Happy stitching!
Such a wonderful video. Loved seeing all of your progress. Enjoy your vacation time. ❤
Thank you Sarah! I just packet my bags and am all set to leave early tomorrow.
I think you should make it into a Pillow because it will show the pattern better than a Biscornu. Those baskets are so beautiful. On your Spring Sampler maybe think of changing the Moon to a light blue or a light gray. I think it would balance it out a little more. That is just my opinion. Your projects are so beautiful. I also work on 16-count & 18-count aida and next month I will start my Summer Quaker on 20- count aida for the first time so I am excited to try my hand at that. I am going to try it with 2 strands of floss. I have never worked with 1 strand and it looks hard to do. Hope you have a great vacation. Happy Stitching.
Oh good luck on your 20 ct. I am loving 20 ct but do find that I prefer one strand rather than 2 even though that can come out a bit light. Hope you'll enjoy working on it! Happy stitching
Yes Hanneke I don't take part in SALs as I don't enjoy feeling pressured when I want to stitch on my choice. Now my finger's in a splint for weeks I've had to become a monogamous stitcher in order to get a Golden Wedding Anniversary Sampler stitched in time! It's so frustrating seeing everyone showing their progress on WIPs!! Thanks for showing a map. On a school holiday we crossed from Harwich to the Hook of Holland and travelled by train to Salzburg. A few years later I was stationed in Germany and occasionally got a train for a day in Venlo or Roermond. People were so friendly. I don't wash my pieces until I finish but found recently when I had to unpick some red lettering using a random dyed American thread on the linen fabric that it's left a mark and warns on the thread card that the colours may run so I'm trying to keep it clean but admit it's taken the pleasure out of the piece for me but I've got a lot done so don't want to begin again. I'm more inclined to use the DMC suggested than called for threads originally used. Enjoy your holidays 😊
So sorry about your finger being in a splint. Must be so frustratie to not be able to stitch the way you want to. Sending you some virtual hugs! Colors bloeding is one of my biggest fears. Usually I use DMC so that should be ok... wishing you a speed recovery!
So glad to see you. How lovely to have a long holiday with so many wonderful plans! I enjoyed seeing all of the projects you’ve been stitching on. I too am going to stitch the rose sampler now that it’s available in pdf and I look forward to seeing how you finish the sewing box. Sounds like a fun project. Enjoy your time off.
So great to hear you are also starting the rose band sampler. I have already started and am flying through it. I love it! Do let me know how you are finding it! Happy stitching
That sewing box will be a real treasure after you refurbish it, especially with the beautiful rose patterns you have planned. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Enjoy your upcoming vacation!
Thank you so much. The rose pattern has already bekomen my favourite. It is so elegant 😀. Happy stitching!
All of your pieces are lovely; I enjoy seeing your changes - I think we like similar color balance in our work. For the square pieces you showed, I think you would be fine doing them as a biscornu; I don't feel that you would lose much of the design at all. They would be lovely pillows also, but I've found that I enjoy the process of making a biscornu and seeing how it comes into the finished shape. 🪡👠
You are so right. I have made them jnto a biscornu and I loved the proces. Wishing you a lovely week. Happy stitching
Beautiful stitching! I enjoyed seeing it all. When you mentioned the Olympic gnome pattern I was thinking of Brenda The Handwork Maniac too. I don't do many stitch-a-longs either for the same reasons you mentioned, it just seems like I have to stitch it instead of want too. I am participating in the birdhouse SAL that Brenda shares on her Flosstube. 1 birdhouse a month is manageable, but after 10 months I am ready not to have to get it out each month. My husband was in The Netherlands for work earlier this month and did go to Ghent. I am hoping if he goes over there again I can go with him and I can check out that shop. He said the weather is much cooler than where we are in Memphis, Tennessee, but he still wanted a ceiling fan or air conditioning and many of the places he was in didn't have that. He also went to Belgium. He brought back a box of Neuhaus chocolates. Incredibly amazing. Highly recommend.
I love the birdhouse pattern and may do it at some point, but do understand it may be quite a lot each month! Belgian chocolates is such a weakness of mine 😉. Hope you will get to go to Gent one day and enjoy that shop. I havent been yet, but hopefully will be able to go in a few weeks. Happy stitching
Eindelijk bij met het kijken, heerlijk bingen. Ik heb weer genoten van je projecten. Alvast een hele fijne vakantie en heel veel borduurplezier.
Dank je wel Suzanne. Leuk dat je zo meekijkt. Happy stitching
Since I’m over 40% Scottish I ordered the Royal Albert cup and saucer and the salad plate to use for my tea time. I wouldn’t have known about them if I hadn’t been following your floss tube.
I love this so much! I hope you will enjoy using it 😀. Nothing better than stitching and drinking tea from tiny pretty cups. Happy stitching
I love biscornus. Do put it together as there is a magic when it is stitched together together. It’s. Not had just be careful about finding the middles and stitching around the corners .
I put it together and so agree on the magic! It was lovely to see it come together. Happy stitching
I laughed out loud when you said if you have to do something you don’t want to do it! 😁I so understand. Oh the red and black piece is so striking! I love your floral projects, thank you for sharing your beautiful work! 🪡🧵☮️🌻
Thank you so much and nice to know we are likeminded people 😉 Happy stitching
Another great video. I so enjoy them! Enjoy your well earned break. I cannot wait to see how the sewing box renovation goes!
Thank you so much! Happy stitching
Thank you for sharing ❤I really enjoyed your video and all of your gorgeous projects while stitching one of mine😊
Thank you so much for visiting. Good to hear you spent the time watching and stitching! Hope you have a nice project to work on! Happy stitching
Pam and Steph recommended your channel. So, of course, I am a new subscriber. 🎉. Hi from Minnesota. ❤
Thanks for subscribing. Much appreciated. You are very welcome!
This is my first time watching your video, and I enjoyed it very much. Your pieces are beautiful, flowers are a gorgeous subject to stitch. Enjoy your holiday!
Thank you so much for tuning in to my channel. You are very welcome. Wishing you a good week with hopefully some stitching time 😀
Your stitching is beautiful. I love your different WIPS. I would make a pillow for try on the modern folk design. There is so much detail that would not show on a history. You might like to use bees wax on your sewing box, it might bring it back to life. Thank you for sharing, love your soothing voice!
Thank you so much. Just finished with the bees wax and it has made such a difference. Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated
Lovely video, beautiful stitching, the gnomes I also find adorable and have almost all of those patterns (but haven't stitched them yet), a lot of progress, thank you for sharing, have a great holiday! Zsófi
Loving the gnomes. It is very addicting! Wishinh you a lovely weekend! Happy stitching
Re protecting work in progress: My grandmother (born 1880s) used to wrap her unfinished needlework in a clean damask napkin.
Thank you so much. I wrap them in a fleece blanket, but sometimes I just want to enjoy looking at my progress 😉. Happy stitching
Fijn, dat je weer opgeknapt heb. Prachtige projecten. Was een super leuke video. Dank je wel. Voor een projectbag of tas maken zijn goede tutorials te vinden. Het is vind ik niet perse moeilijk, maar kost veel tijd. Als ik eerlijk ben borduur ik liever dan dat ik een projectbag of tas maak😉. Goede vakantie en veel borduurplezier.
Haha, ik borduur ook liever dan naaien. Maar soms heb ik opeens de geest en dat komt de naaimachine op tafel en dan maak ik vanalles (probeer ik vanalles). Happy stitching
I so enjoy your videos Hanneke! I love seeing all your beautiful WIPs but my very favourite at the moment is the red and black piece - it is stunning!!
I wish I had known about the needlework shop in Ghent. I was staying in Brussels a few weeks ago and we had a day trip to Ghent! I didn’t see the shop but would have tried hard to find it if I’d known - maybe on another occasion!
Oh that is is such a shame, to have missed the shop on your visit. Luckily Gent is worth visiting for many reasons 😀, such a lovely city! Are there any cross stitch shops in Brussels worth visiting?
@@adutchstitcher I didn’t see any stitching shops in Brussels.
I always say this but it's true. Lovely stitching and beautiful projects! I recently became acquainted with Brenda the Handworkmaniac and love her varied projects including the gnome Olympics. She is the one who introduced me to Jadin Prive. Such beautiful designs. Brenda has also been showing progress on her piece called Kingdom of Books. She has shown it on her Flosstube #126 and mentions that even though it's a Russian pattern, the books are from the Netherlands. Her friend translated the book titles from Russian to English. Anyway, as I was thinking about mentioning it to you I went to Etsy and found the pattern on sale for $2.42 USD so I bought it. I wanted to tell you about it but now I suddenly own it. 🙃😄
Oh I love that project. The colors are so beautiful and it is just a piece of art. I am so tempted... but it is a big piece and I already have quite a few big projects. But it js beautiful. Are you going to start it soon?
@@adutchstitcher I feel the same way. It's big and beautiful but I have plenty of large projects going. But now I have the pattern and maybe one day I will just know it's time to give it a go. You know how it is. 😉
Hoi Hanneke, afgelopen oktober was ik in Gent en heb ik het Gaerenhuys bezocht. De winkel is fantastisch! Ze hebben zoveel mooie borduurspullen en stoffen. Ik zou er iedere week langs willen gaan maar gelukkig voor mijn bankrekening woon ik niet heel dichtbij 😂 De eigenares is ook zeer vriendelijk. Groetjes, Michelle
Dank je wel Michelle. Fijn om te horen dat een bezoek zeker de moeite waard is. Helaas waren ze afgelopen week dicht dus ik moet nog even wachten. Maar ergens in augustus ga ik zeker proberen. Happy stitching
Hoi Hanneke, ik ben nog niet bij ‘t Gearenhuys geweest, maar heb ze gesproken op de Handwerkbeurs in Gent afgelopen jaar. Erg vriendelijke mensen en erg hulpvaardig. Ik hoop ook nog eens er naar toe te gaan en ben ook benieuwd naar hun lijsten…..🥰
Ik hoop over een paar weken te gaan. Ze waren afgelopen week helaas dicht dus ik moet nog even wachten. Je hoort van mijn ervaringen tijdens een volgende vlog en mocht jij een keer langs gaan ben ik heel benieuwd naar jouw ervaringen. Happy stitching!
Hello!! Greetings from Dallas, Texas! I really enjoy your flosstube! You have such a calming/soothing voice and your English is absolutely perfect!! I also enjoy the variety of your stitching. Have you seen the MFE 2025 SAL? Jacob released it on Wednesday. It’s absolutely gorgeous! I also like Prince Albert china. I’ve always been drawn to the Old Country Roses pattern. Have been for years but I do not collect it; I just admire it from afar! LOL!! Hope you’re enjoying your holiday!! ❤️
Hello there all the way in Texas. Thanks for watching! I did see de MFE SAL and it is beautiful. But it is also quite big so I am going to pass for now. Looking forward to seeing everyones progress on it though 😀. Are you going to stitch it?
@@adutchstitcher Hello there! Yes! I’m planning on stitching MFE 2025 SAL! Been thinking about fabric and floss since he released it!
Zo leuk om weer "even" te zien wat je hebt geborduurd (ik heb geen enkel probleem met wat langere video's hoor 😅). Een leuk idee om het naaikistje te renoveren. Meestal zie je ze met een houten deksel dus dit exemplaar is wat aparter. Veel borduurplezier en geniet van je vakantie!
Groetjes, Evelien
Dank je wel Evelien. Ik ben ook zo blij met de nooidoos en als het wordt zoals ik in mijn hoofd heb dan wordt het super leuk. Maar eerst flink borduren. Happy stitching
Biscornu
Hello, Nice work, maybe not a button but a little bead or something.
Thank you for the tip. I tried a bead but ende up doing just a cross stitch in the centre. But will make more biscornus en would like to finish some with a pretty bead. Happy stitching
Доброго дня Ханнике! З задоволенням дивлюсь ваше відео.сумно що ви хворіли.і дуже добре що зараз ви в гарному настрої і добром здоров'і.дякую за відео.в України також була спека,це дуже важко
Thank you very much. I hope the heat had come down a bit! I am already looking forward to fall even though we haven't had much heat yet. Happy stitching!
Hanneke, ik had je een mail gestuurd, maar helaas heb je niet gereageerd. Moet ik een nieuwe sturen? Want ik zou een reactie op prijs stellen.
@@ingevanerp4946 Hi Inge, ik heb geen mail van je gezien en als ik zoek in mijn mailbox komt er niets naar voren. Zou je nog eens willen proberen? Dan houd ik het in de gaten 😀
