- The time has finally come where I get to stitch my very own Bella Filipina, of course joined by some lovely stitching friends! Plus loads of haul, some controversial opinions and a sprinkle of non stitching related chat!
If you're new around here, I'm Emma, a stitcher based in the UK (with a slight kiwi twist) and I love to chat all things cross stitch! Please join me with chats about my slight obsession, including WIP's, accessories, hauls and the ever growing wish list!
Thanks so much for watching! I will do my best to get back to every comment and remember to subscribe for more 🩵 #crossstitch #bellafilipina #gaiatheearthgoddess

I am loving your progress on Gaia. It looks so great! I can't wait to get to that part of her dress!!
Thanks Andrew ☺️ there’s so much detail in her dress I didn’t even see in the pattern or cover photo, I think you’ll love it!
I love your Gia on the lilac aida, it looks so fresh and vibrant🥰
Thanks Debbie! I’m glad I chose a light colour, anything dark and working with fractional stitches on Aida would be a nightmare 🙈
Your dragon is so vibrant! I can’t wait to see how you frame it after that last stitch goes in.
Love how the dragon had turned out! No idea what my frame options are but I better get looking, I don’t think I’ll be able to resist stitching for much longer 😁
The dragon looks amazing! I'm so glad you discovered the amazing -ness of Raven Stitchcraft! At this point I need a special allowance just for her patterns. 😅 So cool that you found a thread shop somewhat nearby and also the wonder of 123 Stitch!
Thank you! They have so much amazing stuff I can only hope to get to! I loved how you recreated the wood effect using less strands of thread, already getting ideas for starting one I don’t own yet 😂 and having a LNS and 123 stitch on hand is so dangerous. Adding things to your basket but not checking out doesn’t quite hit the spot the same haha
Don't know how I found you but so glad I did! Loved visitin ya. 🧡🧡🧡
Love having you here 🥰
Love your flosstube!!!! Working on a Teresa Kogut strawberry piece!!!
Thanks Jeanette! Ooh I haven’t heard of Theresa, will need to go check them out!
Just discovered your channel and subscribed. I've seen all the others stitching Gaia. I only stitch on aida and I've been wondering whether aida would do the fancy ladies justice so it's lovely to see yours and you've convinced me that it does indeed look lovely on aida too. Big investment though £££. Look forward to following your progress ❤❤
Lovely to have you here Mara! Obviously I’m not finished yet but I’m 100% certain at this point fancy ladies are just as nice on Aida 😊 it definitely is an investment, I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end 💖
Does your LNS have an online shop?
I love hearing about your Bella. I’m about to start my first Mira and I’ve been thinking about starting her on Aida as well. It’s nice to find someone else on the same journey lol.
Subscribed to all your mentions that are under 1k.
Very few of the LNS here have online stores ☹️ well the ones that I’ve come across anyway! I’ll just need to make it another excuse to come across the pond 😂
That’s so exciting about your Mira! I don’t see many people doing them on Aida so we can be the ones to shout about it. Thanks so much for watching 💖
Oh, woman! Do I have a HAED story for you! Give me a few months and I’ll do a video on my FT.
Please share! I’d love to hear about it because all I really come across are rave reviews and diehard fans but I’m not convinced they’re THAT good 🤔
Oh yes...the mess after filming is very real 😂 It takes ages to tidy up! So nice to see your projects and I was especially excited to see Gaia...she is looking awesome! But I really loved the dragon too...I can see why you are loving it so much; it's stunning 😍 And your new dragon pattern purchase is soooo pretty too! As someone who has done a HAED I think they are a very mixed bag. Some I love, some I can't see the appeal of and/or would actively dislike stitching, but that's the same with any designs. I'd be happy to share more thoughts with you if you would find it helpful.
@catkinandlillie tidying up is my most hated part cos I’ve already done the fun thing 😂😂 the dragons are too addictive, I think I may need to stitch them all! And Gaia is just so fun, seeing all her detail coming together is something special. And yes I would totally love your input on HAED, I think you’re one of the only people I’ve come across on flosstube that has a (fabulous) finish. I don’t see the appeal in a lot of them but as you say each to their own. I’d love to make a video discussing pros and cons at some point but I definitely need to mull my thoughts over before doing anything cos I feel it could cause a stir 😁
