Love all your progress on your stitching. Thanks for sharing. If I don’t stitch everyday I feel like my day is off. Stitching is calming for the soul. 1-2
Helen: You are so amazing at finding the right finishing techniques, I like the Pumpkin Fare idea of not doing the top green. Nice progress on Troublemakers, nice progress on all your stitching. Congratulations to all the winners. Carl is so generous, 1.
So very thankful we all have stitching to get us through our times --whether good or bad. Thank you for addressing what was on everyone's mind and letting us know that you all have come through it. We are all still here supporting you as this will go on for awhile. Your stitching and finishing is wonderful as usual. I always learn something from you! 1 2
Wow "Book it" was a blast in the past, absolutely loved that program. I find stitch feeds my soul too. Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful 2024. Never saw the Harvest Moon stitch, that is so beautiful #2.
I agree with you that stitching soothes the soul. I am glad normalcy is returning to your community. There are certainly a lot of fun and goofy turkeys out there as well as that stunning one you are stitching from Cottage Garden. The upcoming house series looks fabulous. May your Thanksgiving be peaceful. 1 2
"My turkeys don't need that kind of negativity!" 😂😂 So many great pieces as always. I loved Book It when I was growing up! I think I'll need to go get that needle minder. I love that it looks like the original pin.
I would certainly love a needle minder!! 🎉🎉 Have fun at your retreat!! I have oodles of scissors, if I ever won the lottery I'd be up for Kohana scissors. I truly believe you would never think you meant anything negative!!! ❤❤ Love you gals!!!
Glad your husband got to celebrate the 💯th birthday. What a beautiful milestone to celebrate. I love turkeys and fall also. My favorite time of year. 1 and 2.
My heart was aching for everyone in Maine during the recent events. I was following Missy's Instagram posts about the safety of all the Maine stitchers. We actually stayed in a hotel probably 10 years ago extremely near one of the locations. Number 2 is on my wish list at an online LNS. I love the finishes you have shown. Thanks for taking your time to do these videos.
We are having a gloomy day in western NY so I have the same feelings. My dad missed his 100th birthday by three months. Happy Birthday to grandma. Love the tree. Thank you for sharing. 2
You are absolutely correct, of course, those great turkeys do not need the ax! Thanks for the update, I hope that you are all well. I love your videos and enjoy your past ones, as well.
Very thankful that you are safe...didn't know danger was so close...loved all you shared...1 and 2...happy birthday to Grandma too...wishing you the best ❤❤
♥️🌹You are so welcome! Thankful you are safe. Love you and your channel, as always. And your beautiful stitching and trees and turkeys. Lol! You are a wonderful talent. Also love all your life dates. Your son sounds so cute. Boy oh Boys! Huh? And Grandma’s 100 years! Wow! Blessings to you and yours🙏🏼 (1,2 Please. Thank you!)
I am tickled to death to see all your turkey charts and finishes. I have said for several years there just isn’t enough turkey charts for thanksgiving. I have collected a couple of smalls and am working on them. Stitching is so soothing. It calms my brain and I can just concentrate on what I’m doing. I’m glad y’all are ok from the recent tragedy there. I’m so glad your hubby got to go to the birthday party. I have coveted #1 for quite a long time now. I can’t wait to see your progress.
You are so right Helen, stitching soothes the soul. In the past months dealing with chemo treatments I don’t know what I would have done without my stitching. Take care.
The Turkey is fabulous and I never thought I would hear myself say that!😂🤣. I love the addition to your tree lot as well. Can’t wait to see your display and watching it grow. I have been thinking if you a lot since the tragic happenings in Main. I can only hope that at some point we see a respect for human life returned to all of us. Thank you for all your videos. 1 - 2
Thought so much about all of you in Maine! Thankful you are safe. Glad your turkeys are safe. 🦃 I could live the rest of my life without snow. OMG, when you said Book It my first thought was my kids and Pizza Hut. 🤣 1
Liked your finishes! Especially that one with the turkey peeking around the corner! Love the new tree you added to your Christmas forest! I enjoy listening to everyone's stitching plans...it gets me thinking... 1 2
Our wonderful hobby is very relaxing…when I stitch, all the cares of the day just fly away! All of New England was shocked by the recent sad events in Maine….I’m sure it was scary being so close….thanks for such a great video with all of the yummy stitching….and it was great to meet you at the retreat! 1,2.
Was so glad to hear you were okay. Scary time for sure.. hugs cool! Happy birthday Grandma! My uncle, my dad’s twin, and only living sibling in the family, will be 98 on 23rd and is so waiting to be 100. Tree looks great. And yes cottage garden samplings patterns do have a lot of stitching. 2.
The Holly Jolly Tree Company is adorably finished. I think I have to get that pattern. Secret Turkey Hunt is also beautifully finished. You do great finishes and thank you for sharing with us how to do it. You are so generous. I do like how you adapt patterns. You showed us that you do not have to stitch the patterns as shown but can change them.
I love your finish of the trilogy turkeys! and your change to omit the axe! So cute! I am getting ready to start some turkey stitching myself and I love those chubby little birds. Take care! Love your videos! 1
Hi Helen! Great stitching and stories. And color descriptions -- "dead grass green" Funny! I have to agree that is the color of our grass at Thanksgiving also.
So glad you and your family are safe, I was praying for the people of Lewiston and was so relieved when they found the person. I live in Tucson, Arizona and several years ago the was a mass shooting at a Safeway across town and several people were killed and Gabby Gifford was critically wounded. It was awful. The crazy guy is in prison. I pray for an end to these terrible events. I enjoyed your video and your stitching is beautiful! My husband and I recently retired from 32 years of teaching. I taught Elementary and he taught Special Education. I used to give out the coupons for the free personal pan pizzas for reading. In fact my school won a 5,000 book award from Scholastic Books for giving out the most coupons that year! Very cool! Have a great week and happy stitching!
When we lived in Maine (miss it !) we had a cat (Harley) who would walk with the wild turkeys down the road to our back yard where they would spend the night in the trees, in the. Morning Harley would walk them to the road. Harleys Indian name is Walks with Turkeys! So much fun!! Love the. Projects and the video content, thank you
I was thinking of you and Missy and Kathy when everything went down in Lewiston. I couldn't for the life of me remember where you all were located in Maine. I am glad that the guy was "caught" and you and your loved ones are safe. God love Grandma Dailey! Happy 100th Birthday, Dear Heart. ❤ Must be due to that mountain air. I was too old for Book It, but my kids participated. I think I'll join you next year for the Book SAL. I have way too many BBD books that I haven't used yet. Maybe I'll make some strawberries. 🍓🍓
Thank you for sharing, always very impressed with your finishes. Looking forward to another SAL in 2024. I really like the idea of the “magazine” theme. 1, 2
#1 I've been loving this beauty!! I have turkey dinnerware that's the Plymouth turkey plates from Williams Sonoma (mine are 15+ yrs older and were on sale!). Happy Birthday to your DH's grandmother! How cool that she's been waiting for it! Goals!! Thanks for all you do! Be well
Helen, you are so inspiring with all your creativity. I just love the new charts, both 1 and 2. I don't have much fall and I love turkeys. Have a great day! Pat Tackaberrry
Great video. Good to see some oldies and newbies. Your #bookitsal sounds like a lot of fun. People will show these cute stitches and I go, “Huh! I have that magazine!” I need to go through them more frequently to remind myself what is in them! 🤪 Happy stitching! ❤ 2
Settling down here in my neck of the woods in Maine....such a terrifying couple of weeks. I am stitching the giant turkey also, thanks to a gift from a friend. That cute new tree finish is adorable. I love #2
Helen, have you see the Pinker n Punkin blog? Lots of freebies and some nice turkey charts. Hard to navigate around a bit, but there is a search box up on the top left. I put in Turkey, and got these. Scroll down a ways. pinkernpunkinquilting.blogspot.com/search?q=turkey
I had to laugh about leaving the axe off the turkey chart😃 You have beautiful projects as always. I have been doing a bunch of FFOs and referred to several of your pillow tutorials- thank you so much for taking the time to do those!! 1,2
I love your vlogs! So short and sweet and inspiring 😊 My family vacationed in Maine when I was a young teenager (many moons ago!), and I have fond memories of our time spent there. Prayers for peace and healing! 1
