Your stitching is gorgeous. I love everything that you are working on.❤

So talented! Such beautiful projects!

Isn’t Helen amazing? Was such a treat to fossick in her suitcases in Wellington - she is such a valuable retailer for kiwi stitchers, and her customer service is just impeccable. So lucky for us that she has decided to be involved in the community! Your goddess looks amazing, and i am also keen to join Quack Along - maybe I need to see what fabric Helen has…. - take care, Nic x

Wow, you are a busy lady! So many stunning projects. I love your book binding project ... you've obviously been working hard on it, and it looks stunning! I think you should join the Quack-along. I am very tempted myself😉. Thank you for mentioning me, it was fun going through the fabrics with you 😊

Wonderful video, and thank you for the mention! Going to join the Facebook group you mentioned now!

Rachel check online, Sarah Millican is in NZ in January 2025 - my daughter and I have tickets booked!

Amazing projects! Absolutely love the bothy mouse. Definitely looked good in the hoop!

Oh youre so close to finishing your flower w the blue backgroun round wip. Sorry i forgot the name already Beautiful wips😍

Woah so pretty!!

There is a Christmas ornament swap every year through the nz page, if your interested watch out for the details around October

Missed you being around - so good to catch up. See you in stitchy zoom on a Friday soon? - take care, Nic x

Love your embroidery piece -- so delicate! And my favorite color too! :) The Gothic cathedral is SO cool!

Hi Rach - great video again, hey are you signed up for any of the retreats? LH or Christchurch? Be good to see you if you are x take care, Nic x PS isn’t Judy an incredible enabler?! I was ready to offer you my TW chart as the likelihood of me ever stitching that one is slim but glad you got it sorted!

Heya! Take two on the comment! Yes I've had stitching months like that, and I just go with the flow. Every stitch done is progress made no matter what. Love the progress you've made on your wips; the neverending black on Book of Shadows would be a great one for when you're meeting with friends, just fill in so you don't have to concentrate. Was wondering what fabric you're using for the Tiny Modernist Stitchy Goddess? Such a lovely blue. Also, I didn't know the Patterns Online files worked in Pattern Keeper, would love to know how you got them in please? I'm excited about the TVS Christmas Village. Have the Christmas Tree Etui kitted but need to get this month's challenges done before I start it. I've been wanting that Wrendale kit for a while, but I didn't know that both colour options came in the same kit! I want to do the pink version :D I know what I'll be adding to cart come pay day lol I didn't used to be good about noting down when I stitched something, what it was and who for but now I make sure I record this information. You can even get little stickers that you can stick to the back of your framed stitching to record this information. I agree it's important to record this info. Hope your daughter had a great birthday, she will treasure these cats for a long time :) Have a great stitching month Racheal!

Great to spend some time with you tonight Racheal, good progress on your projects. Happy birthday to miss 10 and loving the cats. Great idea to add the date and occasion the cats were stitched, it will be good memories for her in the future. I'm excited about the gingerbread house, just sourcing fabric (possibly from Catherine and country stitch) and I will get it started. Love that you have all the heartstring sampling designs, they are pretty awesome. Take care and happy stitching 🌷 🌷 Take care

Beautiful WIPs.

Hi Rachel, your embroidery is looking lovely and you have a great lot of haul especially that footstool! Do you watch Neat and Knot by the Sea? Victoria is also doing embroidery and hers is gorgeous. Yes I agree everyone is tired and stressed … think its just a sign of the times at the moment with everything that is going on in the world.

Thanks for your video! I look forward to your next update.

That cats bum is my new stitching goal LOL I love it!!!! I have a needle minder that looks like that too lol - take care, see you in a Friday night chat soon! X Nic

Hey Racheal! It was great to meet you in person at the Bowerbird meetup last month :D You've made a lot of progress on your wips, and agree it's sometimes hard to recognise just how much. These days I've taken to photographing my progress each day and uploading them so I can see side by side comparisons. Really keeps me motivated. Loooovveee your new stitching chair! What an amazing find :D I've also been umming and aahing about which Chatelaine to stitch. So many amazing choices, but because of the cost investment, I am taking my time to decide. The last thing I want is to get the kit for one and then find I don't like it! Looking forward to seeing which one you choose to do. Have a fantastic stitchy month :D

Those cats you've stitched for your daughter are so cute. I think I've been enabled 😂

Lovely to spend some time with you Racheal, you have some great progress. Keep up with your Sal (start along), it doesn't have to be finished at the same time. I'm still stitching on a 2019 Sal, no stress I will finish when I finish. Could you put your families first names in the fox and rabbit design instead of the seasons? Look forward to seeing what chatelaine & Long Dog designs you choose. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷 from Judy

Here’s my channel. I love your channel. I stitched some of those bottles a few years ago. I must show them in my next flosstube.

Hello from Saskatoon (Canada)! I love seeing different projects and different types of embroidery, so I am glad to have come across your channel! I am just barely starting to foray into different types of needlework so I am always looking at new types of projects! Its always nice to find other "smaller" flosstube channels to learn from!!

Thanks for being honest and real Rachael, I know it’s not easy to put yourself out in the public space and I wanted to say I really enjoy the content you provide. Also thanks for the tip on how to know if it’s been played with, this will be so helpful and I’m not an embroiderer. But I will be able to utilise it in ‘other areas’ hahaha. Your dye job worked a treat! She’s on my list to do too, maybe I’ll have a crack at dying fabric for it. Take care, Nic x

Hello from Matamata. First time watching and I thoroughly every minute of it, so many lively projects and oh my what an amazing haul. Aren’t sales tables just the best. Looking forward to your next video 🙋‍♀️

Lovely to spend some time with you Racheal. Love that you enjoyed your time in Sydney and your haul is amazing. I watched your flosstube while working and I giggled outloud when listening to Alison Cole's comments about playing with it and being stiff or limp, haha very funny. The fabric you dyed for stitch Goddess is adorable, I love it. I definitely need to get back to dyeing some more fabric again. You may have inspired me to do that lol. Appreciate you sharing your own medical ailments causing you to be off work at the moment. We never know what people are going thru and for you to spend time out of your day to record a flosstube is wonderful. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷 look forward to catching up again soon.

Lovely to spend some time with you Racheal. You have some great projects on the go, love the colour choice for the 2022 SAL. Look forward to seeing your progress on the goddess and the love rain project. I have never heard of the cottage garden thread project, you have done an awesome job. Look forward to catching up again soon and also at stitch tui. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌹

I see each of the bottle designs just like little frames in a bottle shape. Cool quilt program to have ongoing surprises and a big finish at the end. Thanks for the video.

Hi Rachel, loved your field album! Man I wish I could do Stitch Tui, not for any classes cos I am rubbish at those but to sit and stitch with you and Judy for days would be awesome! - take care, have a fab time in Sydney - Nic x

Good to meet you Rachel😃. The wonderful Judy sent me over. I look forward to your next video. Take care🤗🇬🇧

Hi Rachel. I loved your video and seeing your projects. So happy that you told us about that Etoile thread. I think I will leave it alone. ❤

Great first flosstube. I look forward to your progress on the temperature chart as love those colours (and to hear how you get on using that thread!).

Hi Rachel! It was awesome to see all your projects, I’ve really enjoyed our Friday night zoom chats with Judy the Enabler LOL and I look forward to following your floss tube too :) - take care, Nic x

Fabulous first video and hello from a fellow kiwi. Excited to follow your progress on your wips and keen to see your embroidery too as this is something I want to start getting into as well. Do you have Instagram? Would love to follow you there as well. Have a great stitchy time and looking forward to your next video.

Great job! Looking forward to seeing more!!!

Congrats Rachel. Well done. Looking forward to seeing your progress on those WIPs.

Thank you so much for sharing your time with me on your first flosstube, congratulations you have done so well. I love that you have stored one project in a gorgeous tin. The stained glass temperature pattern is beautiful, may need to search for that and add it to my stash. The colours are gorgeous. It felt like we were sitting, chatting and stitching together. Great job. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷
