I do wish you wouldn't worry so much (about lighting, focus,...) -- I went back twice to CATCH YOU going out of the frame, and, unless you edited it out at the laugh, you didn't! You're just fine!😉 I wanted to comment though, mostly on that leaf!!!...that little yellowed leaf! I really think that put it over the moon with natural beauty -- that brought a smile to my face! Thank you again, for letting us watch your creativity! 'So relaxing!

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Thank you, because I video outdoors it’s difficult to do see on the camera if I am in frame! 🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

[@claudiaforrest6669]

Oh the lovely sound of thread passing thru fabric and the addictive stab stitch! Love your videos and really appreciate your teaching!

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Claudia, yes, that sound of needle going through thread is so relaxing! XXXXX

[@gillianpayne374]

Thank you for staring my day in the UK with your stitching. 😊

It’s amazing how with your quick, deft stitches you create such realistic delightful flowers!

I love that you have Corrine reviewing your book. She's the perfect person for it and looking forward when she does. I love how you show how quickly a piece can dramatically change with just a few strokes of stitching. Learning so much through yourself and Corrine. (And Marion's World also). Such talented ladies. So glad for KZbin!! ❤❤❤

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Melinda Yes, Corrine is great! Gosh, I am not really into watching youtube videos. But there does seem to be a lot out there. XX

The video is perfect the way it is! No need to worry. We love it no matter.

At 85 years old I have suddenly taken up embroidery. Never have even tried sewing. I am slow but lose myself in it and love watching you.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi, your comment made my day. It’s good to be slow - I move too quickly at everything I do! I wish, sometimes, I didn’t. I would so love to see some of your work. Jenny C 🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛

@@jenniferclouston7545 Thank you for taking the time to reply. My daughter ordered me some materials to get me started and I have started the first canvas which happens to be flowers. No matter how amateur it is I will send you a picture when I finish. Right now I am filling in a flower head with French knots and find it incredibly difficult but those are the rules and I will follow them 😁 Betty Hollis

Thank you Jennifer for your video. Please do not worry about your camera work it was fine. I love these snippets with orts , it just shows you what you can achieve with random threads and ribbons (and of course a large dollop of talent) I also watch Corrine and like many others she put me onto you and your books. I know her review will come out before my pre order will arrive but I still intend to watch so I can get even more excited for the postperson if that is possible😂😂 Enjoy the rest of your day in your beautiful garden.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Thanks, Carol. I think I worry about the camera work because I film outdoors. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am nervous about this book! 🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛🪡

Looking forward to your newest book and also Corinne's review which I'm sure will be wonderful, she is how I found your wonderful channel and the reason I purchased Foolproof Flower Embroidery. Your stitching is almost magical the way things just appear and develop each flower, leaf and stem.

Hi, gee today l have also learned something. Using color change to go further than ending off. have not used much variegated threads. Had a show and tell yesterday at the Dias Quilt Guild and got a prize for my crazy quilt. Your work is very unique and l would have loved to have your book, which is too expensive to import, and creative brain. hehehehehe Thanks for the visit.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Newbie stitcher here - just found you moments ago in my feed - happy serendipity! Forgive my ignorance, but, what is an ORT and an ORT jar? Is this a British term or acronym? Never heard it used before… rookie question no doubt, but there it is. Very enjoyable video - I have subscribed & will continue to watch & learn! Thanks in advance. 🧡

[@peggys9449]

Maureen ORTs are leftover bits of thread (odd random threads). Stitchers save everything because you never know. And they the piece of thread look so pretty in a jar.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

An ort is simply something that is leftover! In this case, threads!

[@judipeterson1063]

Loving your videos... This is a newbie question: Sometime, could you address the choice of fabrics that you stitch on?

[@jenniferclouston7545]

I will do so, if I remember. That’s quite a big topic 😂😂😂 🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

[@Sewbits]

Corrine was the best choice for your video, she was the one that made me buy your books. Why is it called orts?

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Yes, Corrine has been so generous! Ort is a word that means something that is left over, it can be food, wine etc. 🥰

[@rebeccaday7076]

PLEASE! SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT ORT MEANS. i have asked on lots of videos i watch with no answer.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi, Rebecca As I said in my videos, many times, an ort is a word for a piece of thread that is left on your needle when you are done stitching. The word can be found in a dictionary! It simply means something is that is left over. Gosh, there is no need to use capitals! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AnneMarieVoegeli]

Stitching with "orts" ?? What does that mean? I've never heard that term.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Let’s is a word that describes something that is leftover. It is in the dictionary. I simply stitch with bits of threads leftover from my stitching projects. 🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛
