[@kathycary4798]

Fabulous WIP Parade!!! You have awesome projects! Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to prepare & then do this!!! You rock !!👏👏👏👏

[@teriherrell6354]

Thank you for sharing your gorgeous WIPS, I enjoyed seeing them all. What a sweet pup, he laid in his doggy bed so quietly and calmly throughout the videos, he’s so sweet……❤

[@nancypeterson9176]

2 wonderful videos! Thank you for sharing all your beautiful stitches! Happy stitching to you as well!❤

[@lisadolson6598]

Immensely enjoyed seeing all of your lovely WIPS! Don’t worry about working on projects that have retired patterns! Goodness, work on what you want. There are gazillions of available patterns for us to buy! We can still admire what others are stitching even we aren’t stitching the same thing. Take care!

[@rosemarycunningham8190]

What a great WIP parade! Thank you for spending all that time putting it together! You have some gorgeous projects! Looking forward to 2025! ❤

Hi Laura I enjoyed your WIP Parades - both of them. Beautiful Stitching - Lots of Pretty Projects. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵❤️

[@tanyawilson9870]

Wonderful parade. Watched both parts and enjoyed every project. Thank you for sharing.

[@SALex_stitches]

Oh Laura, what a treat this WIP Parade was 😍😍 Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into this - amazing!! I’m looking forward to see you plans and all the beauties you’re going to stitch this year ❤️

[@hannamansfield2894]

It was fun....thanks so much to you and your little pup for the show and tell. Was great!! I wish I had done some stitching while I was watching.....but...well, you know....maybe next time ...hugs

[@Stitchykiwigirl]

Thank you so much for sharing all of your amazing WIPs. I’m sure it takes a crazy amount of time to put together so I really appreciate the effort. I’ll probably watch more than once to soak in all the goodness some more. ❤

[@GwenK3]

Love your wips especially Totoro and the flowers. Keep stitching

[@j.a.devanney7523]

I vote for one strand on 36 count. Your call, depends on your frogging pain threshold. If you have enough fabric to start over with one strand you could use the 2 threaded part into a bowl filler pillow. A companion piece and no frogging! So many wonderful projects! Stitch on!🪡🪡

[@joanneneufeld8212]

I loved watching both your wip parades! I have to say your fabric Princess Elliana is just what I’ve been looking for! I’m so excited to see what you get done this year.

[@allycat5820]

Laura, thank you for doing a review of your stitching collection. I watched both part 1 and 2. You were great company for my insomnia. Ha ha. Beautiful work!!!

[@cindyhess99]

Love your creative thought process! You are an artist!

[@HJKingston]

I'm doing an intentional buy year to try and stitch patterns I own already. So I'm allowing 1 buy per 5 charts finished. With 2 exceptions (if I need a specific pattern for a gift for someone else and if I magically get to go to a needle work shop - closest one to me is over 2 hours away). Hopefully I follow my own guidelines! 😅

[@debbiduncan6082]

I love alpine garden, it is beautiful.

[@larahorstmann8603]

I just can't, I am dying!!! TheNora Corbett birds look like an exhibitionist clown 🤣

[@vickisimer7003]

Whew, girl, you have a lot of WIPS. I enjoyed the 2 videos. You have so many beautiful projects. I have followed The Pollinator through the year, so it is great to see that near completion. Please, go get that DMC (LOL). I am also very much looking forward to the Alice Projects in February. I, too, am a big Alice in Wonderland fan. Great job; now relax.

[@flwr2pwr]

Thoroughly enjoyed your WIP parade As for “Consider the Lilies”, you have way more stitches ahead of you than behind you, so start over with 1 over 2 if that will make it a more fun stitch.

[@StenoStitches648]

Hands down best WIP parade in 2025!!! ❤

[@sherrymcconathy8835]

Love the WIP parade. For Consider the Lilies, I would start over. It’s too big a piece to keep stitching in a way that you’re not really happy with. You won’t want to work on it. That linen is beautiful!

[@philippacarlin6542]

Laura, thank you so much for providing this wonderful and lengthy diversion from my own glublahblah - counting is hard some days. My own head gremlins did a real number on me last year but now I'm just going with SWYWWYW with about a dozen WIPs and sticking to stash. Gotta say though I'm very tempted by several of the fabrics I saw today (my poor debit card) 😂🇳🇿

[@oldtonewtreasures7110]

Such joy to see your wip parade videos were posted. Here is my take on "Consider the Lillies"...you should do a restart for I feel you're never going to finish it because you're obviously not happy doing the 2 over 2, hence the reason its been on a "firm pause". I suggest you just restart and dont worry about taking out the other stitches until you need to. Who knows, you might decide to go back to the 2 over 2 🤔 I love all your wips and thank you for taking your time and chatting about each piece. Its very enjoyable. 😊 Take care my dear, looking forward to any and all vdieos you bless us all with. Just hoping you dont make me add more projects to my already large wips and to do piles in cross stitch and quilting! 😂 Love from a Nana in Michigan

[@barbaramueller8636]

Thank you very much for an awesome WIP Parade. As for Consider the lilys, I would start stitching it on the other end of the fabric and then see what you really like best. Unfortunately if your heart isn't in it you will not stitch it and it is a beautiful piece. Then if you like the one strand better you can slowly pull out the two stand stitch. It would be a daunting task at best to pull it all out. Sometimes it is worth it. I do know this from experience. Who doesn't, right. First and foremost your heart needs to be happy with it. All your stitching is amazing and thank you so much for sharing it all with us.

[@deborahwalton9689]

I was so excited when I saw you did your WIP parade!!! I look forward to seeing what you get done in 2025. Happy Stitching my friend!!!❤❤❤

[@angelawhite7870]

I was so happy to see your WIP parade posted last night/this morning! Your flosstube is my absolute favourite. You have such beautiful projects, and it’s always helpful to see how other people tackle managing them. Love the pirate plans! We lost our yellow Lab a few months ago, and it’s such a joy to see Gracie living her best life with you. I hope you’re doing well (as someone who also suffers from brain gremlins, I hope they stay away), and I’m so looking forward to a new year of stitching “with you”!😊 (Also, I wondered about a “magical March” or May session for your unicorns…?) xx

[@Paulabee348]

Sometimes we don’t want the closer that will come with the finish ❤❤❤ . Your work is beautiful; big tight internet hug 🤗

[@leswilliams4022]

Two videos, what a treat. Your stitches are beautiful. !

[@thaliapatricio9964]

So many beautiful stitches in progress. I had to stop both videos several times to check out one of your projects. I only purchased one chart from the videos since it is a new year. Cannot wait to see what your guidelines are for 2025. Happy New Year and thank you for sharing.

[@Becca_Is_Stitching]

I finished that unicorn in a sweater and few years ago and it was SO beautiful 💕 thanks for showing up all your beautiful WIPS

[@maxwellstudio19]

Loved your wip parade!! Have you ever considered taking a photo of your pattern and using it to stitch your project?

[@angelabates1489]

Is the mystery fabric you "love everything you've stitched on it" perhaps Potato?

[@biadoras]

10:18 restart. That looks too pretty to not stitch. Originally I was like : make that stitched page into a small. But if you can fit it on that lovely fabric ripping some of the already done seem smarter. *Is getting serious stitching in during these* ❤
