    I bought today plastic pouches. I storage in boxe. In put a non-slip in background. But it doesn't work. It's problematic. All pouches slip each other. Effectively, I must put inside pouches a piece of board for rigidity. Contrary to you, i put my pouches verticaly and not horizontaly. Sewing pouches in fabric it's complicated too. It's not a good solution. It's complicated to find the good solution because we want place, we want practical, we want easy to find flosstube. 🤔

    Great to see you back! I am binging watching your last few videos and enjoying your hail in Australia's winter lol. I love your project wall, and your project progress. Especially loving how Pandemic is taking shape. Are you backstitching all the motifs or only where backstitching is charted? Ooh, i just ordered the Matter in Hand project from 123 stitch. Hopefully I get it in time to work on it! I wanted to make a project mat out of it for work/vacation stitching... and if the 2026 retreat in Australia is not during exam/interview season then maybe that.

    Hooray for retirement! Your stitching is always inspiring. Do you have a suggestion for a tutorial/or flosstube that addresses the "parking" of threads, like you have done on your May 6th "Stitching Shelf" piece? Would love to learn tips on successfully executing full coverage pieces like this. Thanks so much!

    Brenda, can you do a show on your fav tools: scissors, needles, ripper, etc. how did you transition to the 46+ count fabric? I have just done my first sample on even weave and am scared to death. A gift suggestion for your daughters: coffee mugs that say “ I’m not Bossy. I am aggressively helpful”. Does your hubby know he is married to the Taylor Swift of Floss tube? Looking forward to more videos now that you are retired.

    • @Handworkmaniac
      @Handworkmaniac 6 днів тому

      Hi Donna! I only grid my fabric on large HAED-type full-coverage designs (with a disappearing marker). But I do always make a working copy of the chart and I use a highlighter to mark what I have stitched so I can keep my place. I have dyed a few pieces of fabric, but I don't know how to make those white puffy clouds on blue, I have wondered how they do that myself :)

    Congratulations on your retirement! I agree. It's the best!! Love your stitching. So many beautiful projects, beautifully stitched. I also like those Liz Matthew two-fabric house pieces but the putting together of two fabrics feels overwhelming. I'm hoping someone does a tutorial. I also purchased the by the sea patterns by Jeanette Douglas. They are so beautiful but also full of more complex stitching than I expected. I'm going to have to work up to those. Will love to see yours as you get going on them. Happy stitch-y retirement!

    Great to see you and wishing you a very Happy Retirement 🎉 I’ve just finished Sweet Summertime and it was such a fun stitch that I have its companion piece, Watermelon Crawl kitted up. On a side note I also have an Elan stand, which I love, and thanks to one of your videos I’ve recently ordered scroll rods from them. I may have to order the floor stand as they will stop production for it in July as they gear up for retirement and decrease their product line 😢 Happy Stitching!

    Hi Brenda I loved seeing your WIP's and finishes. May was a busy month for me because I went to Indiana to see my granddaughter graduate from High school. In her class that graduated was 1360.00 students. It was 3 1/2 hours. Whew!!! She will be going to Ball University in Indiana in Art. So I have been behind in floss tube and trying to get caught up. When I got back I have been working on my 33 new starts this year and added 4 more May new starts that I do with Dena of Half cross stitch and will be working with her in July new starts only on Christmas stitching and I have about 11 projects kitted up. So I will have about a total of 47 to 50 projects this year. I have never done that many in a year so this is my first actual WIP's but I am loving it so much. I am happy you enjoyed Con stitch and love the patterns and the trinkets. I always look forward to seeing you and when I do complete some of them I will send you a picture of my progress. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat
