Thank you for all the inspiration you provide. I’ve been getting into stitching older patterns/kits. I love oriental/asian designs, so right now it’s 2 kits by Dimensions designed by Pat Zitomer 1982 &1984. I would love to put together all the new flower LEGO’s. I’m not sure if I still have them but I have/had Falling Water LEGO & Guggenheim kits, still in the boxes. I have to look in my storage unit. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡

That really was the perfect finishing piece for All Sorts! Speaking of Legos, I just found out there's a Jaws set that I didn't know existed and I'm dying to get it!. 1

Love the Lego sets. I have the bookstore also. It is part of the Creative Expert series. Spy books, Dorothy Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax Series. They are great fun. "Mrs. Pollifax is a widow and senior citizen who decides one day to leave her comfortable apartment in New Brunswick, New Jersey and join the CIA". Thank you for the inspiring videos! 🙂

So pretty! I love your taste! 1 😊

Hi Deborah! Your All Sorts is so cute and the finishing piece is perfect. I finished Hedgehog and Hyacinth, but haven’t full finished it yet. It’s on my table with sticky board and a finishing piece. Your finish for the Good Morning is going to be perfect. The LEGO buildings are amazing. Love the bus, and Galileo. The bookstore is amazing too. I did read Daniel Silva and the main character is an art restorer and spy. I might grab another in the series.

I was just in England and staying near a Lego store. We bought our grandsons the double decker bus. 😂 I helped him put it together the other day. Love the Disney ones!

1 I love all the legos

Hello! My read for last time's pull was the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy by audio book. It was an okay read. This pick is going to be much harder to find as it's not my genre at all. Enjoy Stitch New England! Patti

Cute finish! Love the Captains too -original Captains. I really dig that Galileo Galilei lego set 🔭😊 Somehow I missed the EBook prompt 😢. So I picked a free spy Prime ebook -The Secret Weapon -Bradley Wright. Happy stitching, Legoing and reading.

I see a new start at the farm for us. I paused. I ETSY'd. I added to cart. I checked out. Haunted Mansion FTW! 🎃👻🧡

Love you all sorts finish! And I'm looking forward to seeing you this weekend!

Love the pearls! I absolutely do not have the room for another hobby, but I do love your legos and have to resist the temptation every video!

Have fun at the retreat! I'm heading to Charlotte tomorrow morning.. it still makes me just a little sad that both retreats are on the same weekend lol. Your prompts seem to be following my reading pretty well.. I just started Code Name Helene by Ariel Lawhon. I should get a lot of reading done in the airport and on planes this weekend since both of my flights are early enough that I won't want to be stitching! 🪡👠

Love the captain charts!! 1

Have fun at the Stitching New England Retreat. Thanks for sharing your cross stitch. I enjoy watching your ideas on finishes. 1

Oh I love your all sorts finish! I love that candy, my Grandmother always had a jar full of them. 1

All Sorts is lovely. You do not need anything around the edge. 1.

Hi Deborah, ❤ thank you for your video. Great finishes! I'll have to think about this writing prompt 🤗 and come back and let you know what I find.

I love those Haunted Mansion charts. Off to buy!! 😊 Thanks for sharing them.

I would love to try a strawberry, I’ve seen many super cute ones! Getting back into cross stitching hard as 1 of my hobbies, simply don’t have time for everything ❤️

👍🏽🪡

Dang! You're the second video I watched while stitching tonight and both of you are going to Stitch New England! Color me green! You are totally rubbing off on me - I went to Michaels the other day, not because I needed anything, but just to wander around looking for finishing pieces! I ended up getting a few things, two of which are the little drilled wooden ornaments and so I'm going to make some Christmas ornaments to send rather than cards. Loved your stitching and your thought process! Sorry for the length of the comment, I sound like the grandma in the book you mentioned! 1

Enjoy your retreat….wish I could go…enjoy for me please..can’t wait for your video telling us all about it….1

Your finish is cute love it. 1

I love how you think of the finishes even before you have stitched the pattern. I have a stack of finishes that I need to FFO. You have inspired me to get busy! Have a great week. 1

I love All Sorts. My Grandma always had a bag which is how I acquired a taste for licorice. Think I might have to stitch it! Enjoy the Stitch NE retreat... you'll be in good company, some really wonderful Flosstubers are attending...have fun. I have been reading Freida McFadden... everything she writes is a page turner, I only put the book down when it's done. Number 1 please.

Hello Deborah, thank you for your excitement to help me conquer the post retreat (Stitch in London 🇬🇧) blues. What a great set of finishes and your glass is gorgeous ❤️. I have a frame and mat board on order for my abcs so I’m hoping to get mine FFO’ed in time to display winter this year (just a whole year after you 😂). Look forward to your next video. Judith

Hi Deborah... your gkass blowing pieces are so beautiful, what treasures. I too hate the finishing process which is why the they make under the bed boxes 😮😂! Have a great week.

My sister went to college in Elmira. We visited the Corning museum often; it is definitely worth visiting! I was always fascinated by the process and my favorite part was when you could watch someone creating pieces. Your pieces are lovely and it sounds like a fun way to spend an unexpected day. I actually just started a new library book on my Kindle - The God of the Woods by Liz Moore. It's been a bit of a slow go because I finished the Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sara J Maas just before I started this and I got so immersed in the book that I had that "finish hangover" when it was done. I find I use facebook more for actual interactions and instagram more for looking at photos, especially since hashtags are so unreliable these days. 🪡👠

Hi Deborah, Lovely video as always. Just an idea... the door draft project looks great. On the zipper pull end of the zipper, the leader tape can be hand stitched closed to secure the end and hide the end fabric seam allowance. What a great way to use cross stitch projects. Book prompt, have many ebooks on the go. Just started a ya novel, magical realms book about Olivetti the typewriter! Happy stitching, Lea

Wow! So much goodness! The glassblowing sounded like a lot of fun. It must have been so interesting!

Hi Deborah! Oh my goodness, I absolutely loved seeing your glass pieces. That is so cool and they’re beautiful. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Beautiful glass flower! Great stitching...what did you use to stuff the autumn door stop?

Great to see you Deborah! Your hedgehogs look great! I’ve started, and about 1/4 done. I like the idea of a FB page. Your glass blowing projects turned out beautiful. My former coworker is a glass blower, and participated in many shows across Canada. I have 4 of her pieces. I’m joining the book prompt, and will do an audiobook through Libby. I hav3 2 physical books on the go now. I just got notified today that I have a Poirot available. Good timing.

🪡👍🏽

Great video! Years ago I worked in a clinic and one of the visiting doctors took glass blowing classes. One Christmas he came in with all these wrapped packages and we each picked one. He gave us each a piece he had done in his classes - mine is a little bud vase with an iridescent dragonfly on it, as that was the lesson in that class. I love it and still have it to this day! I also have a hard time with the final finishing because yes, there are only so many pillows or framed pieces you can do, and so I love seeing what you come up with! The draft excluders are magnificent! What a great idea! Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us all!

I have so many finished stitches that are not fully finished. You are motivating me to do something about it. Currently I am reading Woman's Work The First 20.000 years by Elizabeth Barber and am enjoying it. I have many e books that I am meaning to start and now I have a reason to do it.

Hi Deborah Lovely to see you and have a catch up and see all of your stitchy endeavours. I’m like you I absolutely love stitching a project but hate the finishing process. The glass items are gorgeous , I think my favourite piece is the flower. The glass bauble would look pretty hanging in a window, it would look beautiful as the light caught the colours. Have a good week Deborah, don’t work too hard. Take care my friend 👵 x

I"m so happy to hear someone else doesn't like the fully finishing process. I love to stitch but when it comes to having to cut out mat board and sticky board is not my cup of tea. I need to be rich so I could have someone else do the finishing for me!!! LOL Oh wouldn't that be nice?

Great catching up with you. Have You Eaten Yet? definitely sounds interesting.

Hi Deborah, so glad you had a great time in NOTL. Kelly’s friend is on one of the cricket teams🙂. Sounds like you had a fun filled time. My daughter Lisa (Kelly’s twin) likes your t-shirt. Love seeing the Cows building blocks😅. I like watching haul portions of the program. Love Tudor Hare, and I have Hedgehog and Hyacynth. I can stitch along with you. The Snow Globe is cute too. PS - did my friend Jim tell you I got him hooked on Balzac’s too, lol. I told him it was you who recommended Balzac’s😂 see you next time

Hi Deborah At last, I have just managed to have some time to myself so that I can watch you in peace. It was lovely to catch up with you and see your beautiful stitching. I think what you did with The Allsorts stitch was brilliant, and I am looking forward to see how you finish it. The Silver Creek Samplers look as if they are going to be fun to stitch, I love the Sound of Music. The ABC season stitch has been absolutely lovely to see, you did an amazing job on that . I’m glad you had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday. How are the boys, both well I hope. Take care my friend see you soon. 👵 x. P.s. love your tee shirt. !

Sounds like you had a great vacation! I believe I actually saw some of the little lego-type things while I was in Alaska! They had quite a few different ones.

Thank you for the reminder about the book prompt. I have downloaded The Language of Food, about Eliza Acton who I think wrote the first English cook book. It also includes recipes, so maybe there will be booking and cooking!

Deborah!! Greetings from Dallas!!! Always a joy to receive your flosstube!!! Glad to hear that all is going well with you and that you had a bit of a vacation!! I always enjoy seeing what you’re working on. I’m in full Christmas stitching mode. Should have it all stitched pretty soon. Already looking forward to your next video! Hugs!! ❤️

Thank you for showing the All Sorts pattern. My favorite candy! I have made the other All Sorts cross stitch pattern earlier this year. After you showed the one you made, I ordered the pattern for myself. I have an All Sorts quilt pattern, which I'll make one of these days.

Hi Deborah, great video. I so enjoy them. I love bomb pops too.

Your trip sounds like a lot of fun! And the stash was amazing! 😉

It was so nice to see your stitching and hear of your adventures. Some of your haul is in my stash - great minds . . .

I was watching your video with my sister. She is not a cross stitcher but always wants to hear about the books. When you mentioned books about food, we had a good brain storm. She mentioned Chocolat and I did not realize the movie was from a book. I am going to get that coming and participate. It sounds so fun. Thank you so much for the time you take to present such fun videos.
