obsessed with paddocklane fabrics! perfect project for it

[@adelaidestitches]

Thanks! They are beautiful and I love their opal colour ways. The sparkle is so pretty and perfect for Christmas! Happy Stitching :)

For your white stitch in PK problem, go into the settings and switch on "Use translucent colours". That way the stitch symbol will show through the white overlay just a little bit to help you see where you are. I use it on all of mine and find it helpful to be able to landmark as I go.

[@adelaidestitches]

Thank you so much :) That is very helpful! Who knew there were so many ways to see white on pattern keeper and they make it so much easier to stitch. Happy Stitching :)

I didn't do alot of the backstitching on the gingerbread house. Didn't think it needed it. I backstitched the candy canes at the door and the lollipops, and the wreath.

[@adelaidestitches]

Great minds :) Good to know I'm not the only one that thought that! I hope you're enjoying stitching your Gingerbread House. They're going to be so cute! Happy Stitching :)

[@adelaidestitches]

Thanks so much! I'm so happy with Cosy Cafe and can't wait to get it framed. Happy Stitching :)

[@lindapearson3340]

I did finish my frame on Friday so I am all ready to do my stitching for tomorrow. I am so glad that you have the numbers because I do not so now I will be able to know how many stitches I have done for the day so thank you for having Pattern Keeper. Congratulations on finishing Cosy Cafe & those beads really make it pop. Happy Stitching.

[@adelaidestitches]

Congrats! That's so exciting! I hope you enjoy stitching the blocks. I'm really enjoying stitching the pretty angel at the moment. I'm glad the numbers help. I always find statistics interesting. Cosy Cafe is so beautiful! I'm really happy with it and can't wait to frame it. Happy Stitching to you too :)

[@caseycarr5222]

Another fun update! See you tomorrow!

[@adelaidestitches]

Thanks so much! Happy Stitching :)

[@christinaharris9853]

Great first Christmas video!! For PK White stitches, I go into edit legend and pick a custom color that’s a very light blue and switch it to that. Then I know those are actually white but I can see them.

[@NicM2375]

I do the same but with grey

[@adelaidestitches]

Thanks! That's so clever. I have changed my white to a bright orange and it is so much easier to stitch! Happy Stitching :)

[@adelaidestitches]

Thanks! Grey would be good too because it's like a faint white. Happy Stitching :)

[@Jeremiahs_Mom]

Fantastic work on everything. I am weird and I love the way backstitching makes a piece look finished. Congrats on your big finish! Gorgeous. Fun way to plan some next year projects. I am enjoying getting my plans together and seeing what challenges I want to join.

[@adelaidestitches]

Thanks! Lol I don't think you're weird I think you're far sighted. You know it will be worth the effort! I'm so happy with Cosy Cafe. I can't wait to see your pieces for 2025. Happy Stitching :)

[@nicolekeen6497]

Hello Adelaide love seeing another Aussie stitcher on here! You’ve inspired me to do the lovely Christmas calendar as well. I haven’t finished the entire frame/border for it but I got it to where I can start the first few blocks so I’ll keep at it. Can’t wait to see how your projects progress!!

[@adelaidestitches]

That's so awesome! It is lovely meeting more Aussie stitchers. I hope you enjoy the calendar. It's such a great Christmas pattern. I'm stitching the angel and she is so pretty! Happy Stitching :)

[@kimholmes3083]

3 ways to deal with white stitches are either switch to dark mode, change the colour of the white stitches to something that really stands out that isn't already in your pattern like a florescent pink or change in your setting to still show the symbol after you have marked it off.

[@adelaidestitches]

Thank you so much! That is very helpful! Who knew there were so many ways to see white on pattern keeper and they make it so much easier to stitch. I've changed my white to a bright orange and it's made such a difference! Thank you again. Happy Stitching :)

[@kimwiitala1190]

Hi Adelaide! It’s only Nov 30 here in New England! So I was surprised when you said it was Dec 1st 😮. Cozy cafe looks amazing!! ❤ Looking forward to your daily progress on the calendar. And I really like your idea for planning. Looking forward to your daily progress videos 🤗

[@adelaidestitches]

Thanks so much! I'm so pleased with Cozy Cafe. It's such a beautiful pattern! And lol yes we are quite early in Australia. I'm hoping my planning means a nice easy way to get organised for 2025. Happy Stitching :)

[@kathyn4267]

I'm still on row 4. I will be glad to use a different color. It's Nov 30th here. I'm not going to make it by tomorrow. Hopefully I will catch up. Good luck with all your projects.

[@adelaidestitches]

Thanks! Row 4 is pretty good! You could definitetly start the first few blocks if you feel like changing colour. Happy Stitching :)

[@ThePajamaStitcher]

Lovely stitching! There is a way to change the color of white stitched. If you go to edit legend, find the white, then hit the blend button. The top line will say Blanc, white or whatever number. In the bottom line, change it from DMC to the eye dropper. Then pick a custom color that you'd like it to be. When it shows up in your list it will still say the original color plus the custom color. It will then highlight in the custom color. If you need help, let me know and I can walk you through it.

[@adelaidestitches]

Thank you thank you thank you :) That is so helpful! I have changed it to a bright orange so I won't get it mixed up with the other colours and it is SO much easier to stitch. Happy Stitching :)

[@homemadeontheridge]

Hooray!! I forgot your day 1 starts earlier than mine (Australia vs US) happy surprise when I saw your video pop up! 😆 Your finish is FABULOUS!!

[@adelaidestitches]

Thanks! Lol we are a lot earlier here. I'm in love with Cosy Cafe too. I can't wait to frame it. How's your Christmas stitching going? Happy Stitching :)

[@homemadeontheridge]

@ can’t wait to see it framed! Two fully finishes down, hoping for two more very soon-stitching shouldn’t take much longer! And, I have officially started 6 of 12 of my Santa themed patterns for my hashtag! 👏🏼

[@adelaidestitches]

@ Wow that’s amazing!! Good job!👍

[@homemadeontheridge]

@ 🥰🥰🥰

[@ThisLittleKittenStitches]

craafty gaming jamie has switched alot of her full coverage pieces from full cross to tent stitch even tho she already started full cross, and you cant tell at all. For pattern keeper, I like to change the settings to use translucent colors, that way the symbol can still be seen. Tho i supose if its white it will look just like an incomplete stitch, perhaps change it to a different color just keep a note that when PK says that number it means white.

[@adelaidestitches]

Yes you are right! I'll have to go back and look at some of her older videos to see if you can tell the difference. Thanks for the information about pattern keeper. For now I have changed it to a bright orange which is working okay. Someone else suggested black which could work too because there's no black in the pattern and it's a similar neutral. Happy Stitching :)

[@nancynorin4224]

What are you using to count your stitches?

[@adelaidestitches]

Some pdf patterns I'm able to put into Pattern Keeper. It is an app I have on my Android tablet. My Tiny Modernist Christmas Calendar is in it and that counts stitches for me. If you have Apple devices a lot of people use Markup but I haven't tried that. Hope that helps :)
