A Stitch Too Far - flosstube #72 : A new lover?

[@kateworthington6519]

Gorgeous stitching

[@primitivestitcher385]

Ingeborg, You are always such a joy to watch! I adore your sense of humor and it goes without saying that your stitching is beautiful. I also enjoy that you include topics other than cross stitch into your videos. I believe that we should never stop learning so I would happily watch videos from you about Myer Briggs. I hope that you have a lovely retreat holiday. Safe travels and happy stitching! Suzette x

[@AStitchTooFar]

thank you Suzette xx

[@ldrstitcher]

Hi Ingeborg, I somehow missed this video earlier. How wonderful that you sought out some books about U.S. history before your trip. I hope it added to your enjoyment of the museums and other places you visited. I really enjoyed hearing about the books and I would enjoy the Myers Briggs topic too. As always, I love all your stitching and want to stitch everything you are stitching :-). Miss you & hope it is not too dark in the NL.

[@AStitchTooFar]

It's getting darker but i'm haning in there ;) thanks for helping me make some great memories along my trip! Will treasure them!

[@PalettePC]

Yay Fall, cooler weather is much needed here. Love the aboriginal turtle so far.

[@AStitchTooFar]

I thought you might like that one :) xx

[@judygibbons5983]

Interesting. I stumbled upon you this morning, and when you mentioned the Netherlands, all I could think of was that I traced my grandfather’s lineage back to the Netherlands! I was in your country for an afternoon on a layover to Rome- time enough to see the Ann Frank museum and a quick trip to see windmills and tulips and cheese! Your country is gorgeous! It seems you like nonfiction. I enjoy historical fiction and as such love the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Enjoy your holidays!

[@AStitchTooFar]

Hi Judy, thanks for leaving such a nice comment. I must say i do enjoy historical fiction so I will have a look at Outlander, i'm mainly reading non-fiction right now because I like to prepare for my holiday :)

[@frogandfudge]

Thank you for your video Ingeborg and yes I am definitely interested in hearing more about Briggs.

[@AStitchTooFar]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@KellyBellcambridgegiftsbykelly]

Very enjoyable video Ingeborg. Wow! I am impressed that you listened to American history. It’s such a convoluted history in the grand scheme of the world. I love your boyfriend and all of the pieces you are working on. Your nail color is beautiful and I’m loving the matte top coat. I’ve noticed that as the year begins to wind down, and the season changes, many people are becoming introspective and retrospective. Briggs is very interesting. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching 🧵

[@AStitchTooFar]

It was for me really nice to get a refresher of the US history in a short amount of time, there were some great moments and some not so great and it was interesting to see patterns and draw lines to our current time (i say interesting but it was also scary at times to see how history is repeating itself) xx

[@KellyBellcambridgegiftsbykelly]

@@AStitchTooFar It seems like we (as a species) don't seem to learn from collective mistakes - maybe it's just that we become apathetic and think that someone else will take care of it - very sad and yes - very scary.

[@lauriedittbenner3762]

I would enjoy hearing you talk on Myers Briggs, and any other subjects you’ve explored.

[@AStitchTooFar]

Thanks for letting me know Laurie!

Your Mirabilia is gorgeous. Love that fabric. The needles praise is prettier than the picture. Wonderful WIPs. Thanks for visiting and sharing. Patti Dagg

[@AStitchTooFar]

Thank you Patti!

[@mandysetterfield415]

Thank you ingeborg. I liked the book reviews. I read all the time! Well, when I’m not stitching. Or working. -Mandy

[@AStitchTooFar]

yea, darn work gets in the way of the fun stuff :)

[@kaylinfrancis8751]

Wow Ingeborg, stitching your lover on the same fabric on your husband. You're a bold woman! Thanks for sharing your WIPs, almost finishes, and your haul with us. I'd be very interested in those other videos. Thanks also for sharing you readings with us. You are definitely a history buff. I tried to read about the Underground Railroad but had a tough time with the subject matter, so instead I chose to read about Harriet Tubman, and ended up doing my research paper on her because she was such a fascinating person. In fact, she reminded me a lot of my grandmother, Jemima. They were both very strong women who had to be that way to survive. Enjoy your travels and Happy Stitching!

[@AStitchTooFar]

They seem to get along pretty well so far :) I have a book about Harriet Tubman on my wishlist, she was quite an extraordinary woman. Let me know which one you read?

[@andreac-iheartcrossstitch]

Three weeks and counting!!!!

[@AStitchTooFar]

woop woop! xx

[@aussiestitcher1699]

What an stunning almost finish! And love your new lover. Have a great holiday happy stitching

[@AStitchTooFar]

thanks Belinda

[@ekennedy9982]

Enjoyed another visit with you Ingeborg. Please do share what you've learned on Myers Briggs, sounds interesting. Enjoy your holidays. I look forward to hearing all about your visit, stitching, and sight seeing.

[@AStitchTooFar]

thank you ;)

[@passionforcrafting1161]

Great stitching Ingeborg! I hear you on the fear of not packing what was planned, I tend to check my bags 5 times before each trip and still forget something ☺️. Regarding Myer Briggs I think that could become very interesting. I hadn’t heard about this before and just made the test... it is crazy how accurate the description is after only answering a few questions... But now I sit here and ask myself: What can I do with that knowledge? Happy stitching my friend, Dunja 😘 P.S.: Love your nailpolish

[@AStitchTooFar]

Yeah the online test is nice but I had much more use in diving in a bit deeper, there is a whole theorie on functions use associated with each type that should help out in figuring out your blind spots and how to deal with that. Will try and incorporate that into the videos once I get to them :) If you can't wait I'd suggest looking up function stack and the 8 functions. xx

[@kaitstitches6812]

I was also a little confused about the train part in "the under ground rail road" as well when I read it but really liked the book over all. Lovely stitching as always! I hope you enjoyed your US trip!

[@AStitchTooFar]

I enjoyed it too, confusions and all :)

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗

[@sofiamochon-ciniglio4010]

I love the turtle & fish :)

[@FrostyXStitch]

Hi, I know you are already across the pond... I hope you'll have a lovely time and can meet all the people you want to see. Enjoy

[@sandybakos6914]

Lovely projects as always. I love that you are putting the turtle with your fish.

[@Manyanababy]

Have a great time xxx

[@AStitchTooFar]

thanks sweetie!

[@m00nwise]

ha Ingeborg, ik heb helemaal niets met nagellak 🤣 met video’s over Myer Brigss maak je mij wel blij. Ik ben benieuwd 😀 ook heb je me nieuwsgierig gemaakt naar de darning sampler, in het Nederlands heet dat stopwerk. Een techniek die me al een tijdje interesseert, maar wat er nog niet van gekomen is te proberen, een sampler kan dan net dat zetje zijn. Fijne vakantie! ( en die sexy bril ga ik ook bestellen, handig voor buiten de deur)

[@AStitchTooFar]

top!

[@sharonbruce6639]

Lover and husband on the same fabric? Naughty! The Needles Prayse is absolutely stunning and I have loved your progress on it. Which retreat are you going to? Will there be another Dutch retreat? I would love to stitch with you, Mev, Meike and Jucus! I can thoroughly recommend Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series....a story of the Jacobite Rebellion and the creation of America through the Revolution. It is fiction , though beautifully researched and a dream to read 😍

[@AStitchTooFar]

I will be at the retreat organised by ms oh sew crafty :) not sure about another dutch retreat, haven't made any plans yet.

[@MichelleBendyStitchy]

[@ixstitch6717]

Thank you for showing your updates as well as your Silks4U. I got my next set (September), the day I watched your video. Have a lovely time on your holiday and on retreat. Bye for now, Vicki

[@AStitchTooFar]

Yeah they take a while to ship, but it's totally worth the wait :)

[@honeybstitcher1598]

Hoi Ingeborg. Gefeliciteerd met je (bijna) finish! Leuk dat je het tijdens het retreat helemaal af gaat maken. Je aboriginal-mannen zijn geweldig. Wat een heerlijk vooruitzicht dat je naar het retreat gaat, ik ben heel benieuwd naar je ervaringen. Ik wens je heel veel plezier. Ook gefeliciteerd met nog een unicornchart, bofbips! Veel van de Maiapakketten zijn prachtig, ik heb zelf een Afrikaanse dame geborduurd, de 2e in de serie moet nog gemaakt worden...… Vraagje: is de sexy bril niet zwaar op je neus, zeker als je het al een tijdje op hebt? Ingeborg, nogmaals een heel fijne vakantie gewenst! Groetjes, Alice

[@AStitchTooFar]

Hoi Alice :) voor mij is de bril niet zo zwaar, maar ik draag sowieso een bril dus ben het gewend. Je kunt batterijen in de bril doen voor de LED lamp aan de voorkant en dan vind ik hem wel zwaar en onprettig, dus ik gebruik hem eigenlijjk altijd zonder batterijen. De winkel die ik heb gelinkt heeft ook een hoop andere opties die misschien beter voor jou passen, er zijn bijv ook opzetlenzen die je op je eigen bril kan zetten (als je die hebt)

[@tealelder6475]

I enjoyed your video. Have a wonderful holiday.

[@AStitchTooFar]

thank you!

[@evelienjol7169]

Nagellak is aan mij niet echt besteed maar zo'n matte toplaag geeft zeker een mooi effect. Ik wens je een heel fijne vakantie en een gezellig retreat! Groetjes Evelien

[@AStitchTooFar]

dankjewel Evelien!

[@cindyjurek7325]

The Underground Railroad is commonly used here in USA when referring to escaped slaves and those who participated in providing safe travel and rest spots to assist the slaves to reach Canada.

[@AStitchTooFar]

Yes that's why I was confused, I know it's just a name and not an actual railroad, but in the book it is described as an actual railroad.

[@brookekovalenko8837]

Ingeborg. We all loved the shout out!! Thank you so much! We have the same taste in "husbands and lovers" because I love looking at yours. Amazing!

[@AStitchTooFar]

hahah we have similar taste in other projects too :) Glad you all enjoyed the shoutout

[@StitchingJoanne]

Love that Lakeside sal. It's a bit pricey though :/

[@AStitchTooFar]

yeah, but quite a big piece, and I love it so much :)

[@StitchEm]

There should be plenty of room in your luggage this time as I won't be in it. I look forward to meeting the tortoise 😉

[@StitchEm]

#ingeborgandemmaontour

[@AStitchTooFar]

i kinda wish you would be in my luggage :)

[@raekess]

A year of unicorns! What a lovely place to be. :) The red Geisha is so graceful and beautiful. Oohhhhhh, the East Asian Inspiration SAL is gorgeous. I've been waiting to see how it ended up, and boy am I absolutely tempted now. I loved hearing about the books you read and your thoughts on them. I'm going to chase down a few of them. Your nails look beautiful. Travel safely!!

[@AStitchTooFar]

thank you Rae!

[@joanclarke5531]

Love your new lover, the turtle. But on the same fabric as your husband?? I'm also a history buff. Did you happen to see the PBS series by Ken Burns on the Civil War? It's so well done, especially with Shelby Foote's commentary throughout. ( I could listen to that man speak on any subject) He's author of a 1-3 box set on the Civil War or a 9 book series. I'd be interested in the Briggs Meyer videos. Have a wonderful time on your journey to the US. Where does this retreat take place?

[@AStitchTooFar]

I've heard of the Ken Burns documentaries, but we don't get PBS in Europe unfortunately :(

[@calico_whimsy]

Beautiful stitching! I would love a Meyers Brigg series! I just finished listening to Into Thin Air by John Krakaur. True story about the deadliest year for climbers on Everest. A little slow at the beginning, but becomes quite the thrilling ride! Not really anything to do with American history, lol

[@AStitchTooFar]

Ooh that sounds like a good one!

[@karendavis-macon9658]

Your 2 nd husband will look just beautiful when finished...love the colors!! You are right..the dark background will show off threads and stitching...like they always use black to show off jewelry!! I have 1/2 of a top row done on Praise the Needle...love it, but OTHER PATTERNS😏🙄😌

[@AStitchTooFar]

oh I hadn't thought of that but you're so right about the jewelry! It took me about two years I think to get Praise (almost) done, but once I was halway through the verse I really didn't want to put it down. :)

[@carolhebert7964]

I am interested in the Myers Briggs tests. I would like to know how to deal with social anxiety.

[@AStitchTooFar]

not sure that my video's will go into that, but it might help you figure out if your personality type is related to social anxiety and maybe help you in finding ways to deal with it.

[@dianamh5438]

HI Ingeborg, I know I am late to the party but if you are still thinking of doing a series about your Myers Briggs results and how it can help someone, I'd love to see it. Love your videos and I don't know why KZbin stopped putting them in my feed but I'm catching up and hopefully won't fall behind again.

[@AStitchTooFar]

I am, but not sure how long it will take me to get to it, will definitely give it a try!

[@Tinsleymumsey]

I have Dying to Stitch on my calender!!! Totally understand about that it’s tenous. (I’m enfj)🙋🏼‍♀️

[@AStitchTooFar]

Yay! why am i not surprised about that enfj? :D

[@Tinsleymumsey]

Tee hee

[@clairenoack2861]

I have curiosity in Myers Briggs, people refer to it and I have no experience with it. I use the Gallup Strength Finders whch I am finding useful but not as complete as I understand MB to be. Be well and safe travels!

[@AStitchTooFar]

thanks, i'm not familiar with that method, will have a look :)

[@marymac1646]

Those books sound interesting - thanks for the suggestions. The movie 'Harriet' is coming out soon in the US and I'm also looking forward to seeing that. I know it will be embellished but movies often give me a great place to start learning about things that weren't adequately taught when I was in school.

[@AStitchTooFar]

She was definitely an extraordinary woman! Didn't know there was a movie coming.

[@CreativelyYours]

Wat worden de BSisters mooi zeg!! Ik ga kijken of ik the Underground Railroad als ebook kan krijgen, ik vind dat soort boeken erg interessant. Jouw round robin project is onderweg naar mij, ik ben heel benieuwd 😉 ik hoop dat je een geweldige vakantie hebt straks!! Tot snel x Debbie

[@AStitchTooFar]

Ja was soms best wel confronterend boek, maar daar hou ik wel van! xx
