Drizzle Stitch Tutorial and Pattern Winner

[@jjivy6310]

I may have to go back to my youth and pick back up stitching. You inspire me to try to remember what I learned and learn some more.

[@quiltroadies1695]

oh yes...I circle back an forth between all my loves :)

[@create557]

Hi guys! Girls just want to have fun! Congrats to the very lucky winner. Anna so nice to finish viewing your vids with Enzo 💕

[@quiltroadies1695]

yes...I know someday G will have a different ending but I so love seeing him...I think he does it because he knows I wait to see the end when I proof

[@karensinn3294]

Another fantastic video with very clear instructions. Thanks!!!! I laughed so hard on your off/on switch for your light. Keep em coming. Hugs to both of you.

[@quiltroadies1695]

such a crack up

[@debbiewidner5676]

Enjoyed this again Anna! Now relearning some embroidery stitching after several years! I have been watching Ariane Zurcher’s tutorials and following Sue Spargo’s 90 days creative stitching. All 3 of you are great teachers!

[@ilovelucy7073]

So funny 😂 with the light and the tv control. 😜 CRAZY !

[@nellieflanders2531]

You crack me up, thank you 😊 and I learn a lot too. Watching your tutorials is very relaxing for me. Need to get my stitching stuff out and get back into it.

[@quiltroadies1695]

yes you do...cause we all need to relax :)

[@cindygehrke5249]

Anna, you are an excellent teacher! Thanks!

[@quiltroadies1695]

wow...thank you!

[@stephaniemilano3525]

Oh my goodness, you crack me up, TV remote for the lamp 🤣😂🤣

[@janrichardson8715]

Ooh, love this stitch! Thanks for the lesson.

[@quiltroadies1695]

you are going to have fun!

[@palomanavarrojaramillo5568]

Muchas gracias por enseñar esta puntada, porque me encanta bordar mi me gusta mucho lo que hace Sue Fargo .Un abrazo

[@quiltroadies1695]

Ella es la mejor ... ¡y me encanta cómo embellece sus proyectos con puntos de sutura!

[@ukexpatpennsylvania7304]

Great tutorial Anna, it's rather like needle tatting. Instead of tying the knot to a filler thread, you tie it to your project..... who knew? It looks awesome. I will use it as a flower filler in place of French knots..... I just finished an embroidery that I could of used it on. Oh well... I guess I'll just have to start another one.

[@quiltroadies1695]

yes you will...a new project is like a breath of fresh air!! Tatting is a lost art that needs a revival!

[@karenbigwood1517]

I hope you’ll continue to do these “how to” stitch videos they’re great.

[@HWolfe]

I can't do much hand work anymore, unless I do the following: Glucosamine Chondroitin pill, Aspercreme, RX NSAID, 2 days of prayer, and another prayer before I pick up the needle...LOLOL> Kidding, but not by much, ty, such a cute stitch, and the birdies lol adorbs! That thing about knotting off the previous drizzle is a very good idea. TFS.

[@quiltroadies1695]

oh man...I hear ya...aging is not for the faint of heart is it!? My eyesight is what is challenging me.

[@MariaM-yn9tl]

Hunter W that’s funny 😂hope your feeling better I have a great tip. I wrap my thumbs & index finger with waterproof bandage tape to limit my bending of those fingers since I have trigger fingers it helps with any repetitive finger craft like sewing 🧵 knitting 🧶 crocheting. I had basil Joint Anthroplasty surgery on my left hand for arthritis & two trigger fingers. I don’t want to go back for surgery on my right dominant hand thumb trigger finger. So using the tape or bandaids saves those fingers. I use it around the house also to remind me not to grab. I also put athletes tape on all my door knobs so I don’t get stuck in one of my rooms. I can’t turn door knobs. Have a great day! Let me know if you like my tips. 🥰💕🧶🧵👍👍(my thumbs😂)

[@deedeemac]

Best drizzle stitch tutorial I’ve seen! Thank you. And.... appreciate the styrofoam idea.

[@quiltroadies1695]

really makes it easier!

[@sandym6682]

Would love to see more of the hexagon quilt behind you!! Love hexies. Great tutorial by the way!!

[@sandym6682]

Just realized it's not a hexagon but is it the snowball pattern? I love it

[@quiltroadies1695]

yes...the lazy persons hexi, LOL

[@sandym6682]

Perfect for me!!! I'm on it already!!

[@natureluvr_d7186]

This was so helpful. I have the Creative Stitching book but I'm more of a visual learner and that's why I love YT. I just applied to join the FB group.

[@quiltroadies1695]

you and me both...

[@barbarablumke4827]

Oh, Anna, I just love you. I watch all of your videos and read your blog. You warm my heart.

[@quiltroadies1695]

awww that makes me feel so good...thank you!

[@barbaragallagher1996]

Great stitch ...I just got a needle tool too ..but haven't made it yet. Thanks a million🐑

[@barbaragallagher1996]

Not tool Roll hahahaha spell check gone ctazy

[@quiltroadies1695]

I knew what you were talking about, lol...I have become quite adept at translating autocorrect!

[@janetburgess5781]

I like that stitch. Hope I can use it some day on a project.

[@clarecampbell6493]

Those little birds are delightful. Happy Stitching.

[@loism7453]

Have fun stitching. I’ve recently gotten back into embroidery and am so glad Sue Spargo has wonderful books!

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

What a great tutorial! I’ve never seen that stitch before. Definitely going to try it!! So happy to see you again!! Have a wonderful weekend!!

[@quiltroadies1695]

Thank you...this weekend I am Kondomari-ing my Bee Hive...yikes!

[@sharondauz880]

Anna you are a natural in teaching. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@quiltroadies1695]

not to sure about the teaching but the sharing I have got down pat, lol

[@janice3716]

I just found your channel and subscribed. I love your videos. I'm so sorry about Enzo, I will keep you and G in my thoughts and prayers. I had that experience with one of my fur babies too. You have inspired me to start quilting. Thank you for putting a smile on my face and being so generous with your talent and time. Can't wait for your next video.

[@quiltroadies1695]

thank you so much for deciding to hang out with us! We do have fun!!

[@sherryclifton4947]

Anna, your stories crack me up. It’s real life, cause you can’t make stuff like that up. Your “whoop” stitch is kinda like casting on for knitting😍😂

[@quiltroadies1695]

you totally get it...real life is far more entertaining. I have heard Knitters totally get this stitch...but alas I am not one...

[@lindarobinson3821]

Hi Anna, Just wanted to say your smiling face and cheerful disposition is such a delight to come home to. Love, love love watching your videos and unwinding from a long day at work. Thank you

[@quiltroadies1695]

Awww...thank you so much! It is a warm fuzzy to hear that I am touching someone's day :)

[@sewgirl1247]

That's a fun looking stitch. . .definitely will try this one out on a future project....thanks for the great demo Anna.

[@quiltroadies1695]

you'll be adding it to everything, lol

[@heartfulhandworks24]

That's funny with the remote. I have my stitchy spots also. My year round craft room and in the warmer months I go out in my Florida room that's filled with windows and so bright. Enjoy your day.

[@quiltroadies1695]

it is all about the light!

[@ruthaskea6110]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I have been so intimidated by this stitch that I never tried it. Now I know that I can do it!

[@quiltroadies1695]

You can do it!!!

[@gigibush8071]

Such a cute project! My son and family live in Portland and I have always been amazed at the quirkiness of that city, never a dull moment there. Cannot wait to give this stitch a try. Happy stitching.

[@QuiltingWithMeSew]

Thank you for all the time you take making these wonderful videos!! The drizzle stitch DOES make me smile, so fun. What a great idea to use the Styrofoam block to stab your needle into. Your lap pillow is wonderful, I use mine all the time. I made it from your instructions, such an unusual design...love it so much.

[@quiltroadies1695]

my pillow goes every where with me, lol

[@bkpaster]

Thanks for showing us that stitch! I’ve never heard of it, and I love doing embroidery!

[@quiltroadies1695]

oh you are in for some fun!

[@SewCreateful]

That’s me, a girl that just wants to have fun and enjoy making things! 😊❤️ Enjoyed seeing the drizzle stitch. Kind of reminds me of a stitch I started for filling in a sheep. I showed it in my StitchMaynia project video. I am interested in the Sue Spargo Stitching, I will have to find the Facebook page😊

[@quiltroadies1695]

the facebook page is a nice place to support and be supported in our ongoing stitch journey :)

[@mardellgrayhek9958]

What a great stitch. It reminds me of one I used to do years ago when I was actively doing crewel embroidery. Thank you and congratulations to the winner! Enjoy your prize.

[@quiltroadies1695]

I think so much of what we are learning is old school forgotten and it is wonderful to have a revival!

[@lindalangendorfer20]

Oh Anna you crack me up!! Love to watch you every day!!

[@quiltroadies1695]

yeah my life sometimes is a freaking circus!

[@terrynero81]

I like the way you explain the stitch. I tried to do this stitch by reading it and I didn't understand what I was reading. Thank you for showing how to do it.

[@quiltroadies1695]

I am such a visual learner that I too have trouble sometimes with the written explanations!

[@suzannemoffitt2368]

I love how that turns out. You're so funny, you cracked me up about the guy at the bus stop, don't drizzle at the bus stop.

[@quiltroadies1695]

Oh I couldn't stitch at the bus stop...my attention span would be awful!

[@joanniebarnett9740]

Great video

[@claudettebettis9463]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful stitch.

[@maryannbird5547]

Gonna try doing this stitch for smoke on the chimney of my little house blocks

[@tracynewby755]

Love your little birds,and great stitch demo.

[@RjsHome]

Very interesting Anna, I didn't know what a drizzle was. Thanks! 💗💗💗💗

[@FotiniaDi]

Thank you.

[@cheryl8280]

OMG That is sooo funny with the TV remote. How the devil did you figure that one out??? I have to agree with your daughter-in-law. And men get so upset when women breast feed babies in public! Pishaw!! Well, isn't that knot (and needle) just the slickest thing. I tried it on a rewind with you doing it and it worked! Yup, I hear ya. Just a good ol' country girl who loves to stitch. That'd be me!! Talk to you again soon!!

[@quiltroadies1695]

Well, when there was a old TV in there I was changing the channels and the light kept going on and off, LOL We got rid of the TV cause it was just taking up space but oh do I protect the controller!!

[@juliemcneal5742]

Cool stitch! Thanks for showing us!

[@jackiewald05]

Love it Anna. Please show us the finished work. I’m looking forward to it!

[@quiltroadies1695]

I shall on the blog :)

[@lauramendoza801]

Love it. You should do a sew along for your upcoming needle roll. I would join in. Thank you for the videos. I always enjoy them. Have a good weekend!

[@quiltroadies1695]

Maybe after the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show...that would be so fun!

[@cindymclaughlin3941]

OMG, what a great thing to know about the lamp. I ordered mine a few years ago, and my control didn’t work, so I had to send the control back and get a new one, but I often wondered what I would do if I lost the control. I will have to find an old TV control and see if it will work.

[@quiltroadies1695]

I know...isn't it a hoot! found it out totally by accident when there was a TV there I was changing the channels and the light kept going on and off, LOL

[@pamketron]

You are so funny! I had to laugh when you talked about the guy peeing at the statue. Then, when you were explaining the drizzle stitch, you said whoop it around. Great explanation. I actually watched a video of yours (it’s been a while now) of this stitch being demonstrated and I think Sue was doing the demonstration. It’s when I first found your channel. There was a group that she was sitting with in a circle and she showed how to do this. I really like how you explained it. The stitches look cute on top of the birds heads!!! Fuzzy wuzzy type hair. You are the best. Keep on being you. Love your videos. Hugs! 🤗🦜

[@quiltroadies1695]

Thanks! I do think the audio sound effects of stitch movement helps...thus the whooping, LOL I learned this from Monica at Olde World Quilt Shoppe...she is big on the sound effects, lol

[@debbie-bethmutzabaugh985]

Such a cute project and an adorable stitch. Love watching you.

[@quiltroadies1695]

thanks for coming along!

[@virginiaolsen5265]

What a fun stitch! I love doing it for many things that I am working on. Just finished a Brazilian embroidery that has many, many drizzle stitches, and various ways to do them. So happy it is finished.😊😊😊😋. Love your video s. Gini

[@quiltroadies1695]

fabulous...I am going to have to take a look at Brazilian embroidery as I have heard a lot about it...one more thing!

[@lynnvalerierc]

I love the drizzle stitch and use it a lot!

[@quiltroadies1695]

it is a fun one!!

[@karleenmiller1023]

Never heard of the drizzle stitch, thanks for showing it. I can see where it would be a great stitch for the center of some flowers. Had to laugh at how you operate the turning on of your light.

[@quiltroadies1695]

I know...isn't it a hoot. and yes, the drizzle could be stamens in flowers, smoke on chimneys or truck exhaust...the ideas are endless!

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Such a clear tutorial. Thanks!

[@jankubillus7157]

Beautiful work Anna. It’s good to see you so relaxed. Love your vlogs.

[@quiltroadies1695]

Yes...I have had a huge emotionally switch in my brain and seem to be more peaceful :)

[@debbiewidner5676]

Thank you for teaching this stitch!

[@deborahdunnell6343]

I took a class with Sue Spargo. She is a delight. Working on her needle roll at the moment. Did the drizzle stitch on it.

[@quiltroadies1695]

the stitches are challenging and rewarding!

[@krisheld4496]

Anna is the needle a Sue Spargo number 15 Milliner needle. That is the one I saw

[@quiltroadies1695]

I actually can't remember but I choose the milliner according to how thick the thread is and I was using what I believe was a #8 thread and thus a thinner milliner. did you know that Sue's needle containers are now color coded to the thread spool color!!! genius!!!

[@dawnbrinker2384]

Thanks for the video😀

[@laurawiemann2160]

That is such a cute stitch. Thank you for showing me how to do it. Going to add it to my practice mat :)

[@quiltroadies1695]

such a variety of opportunities to use it :)

[@deborahbaxter27]

I love your videos.

[@huisuk]

Thanks. Beautiful stitches.

[@vickythatcher]

Loved it ... can’t wait to learn more... love your videos...

[@maybee...]

Girls just wanna have fun, 🎶 This is a lot like one sided tatting, same concept. Thanks for sharing, I have thought I could tat on fabric.

[@quiltroadies1695]

yes you can!

[@coholt1]

What a great tutorial

[@suedonnenwirth3269]

Love the tutorial

[@anashilinsky4722]

Thank you so much for that stitch I been tray it for long time and this is the easy way I find it!!

[@quiltroadies1695]

I am so glad because it is a fun one!

[@pjinlaca5489]

Cute stitch. Thanks, you did a great job teaching it!!

[@tinkerfeet]

I love all your videos but the ones that show how to do different stitches are so helpful. What thread were you using in this video?

[@quiltroadies1695]

I am so happy to hear this! the tread is a variegated yellow #8 Sue Spargo thread

[@aidak2241]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@coholt1]

Soooo adorable

[@cheryl8280]

That's so funny about your lamp! LOLOL I once had a TV that turned on and off if one were to open the drapes with the hooks running along the channel, fingers running along the teeth of a comb or a plane going over (we were under the airplane path to the airport). Strange!! Those little chicks look so cute. They look like Alfalfa from Little Rascals with their top knots. Anna, I'm still working on my stitching on wool. Will the wool stretch if I use my blanket stitch on my sewing machine instead of hand stitching? I'm really not very good at the hand stitching. Have a wonderful time in your tree house and virtual hugs from Canada.

[@elisabethwink2298]

Your instructional videos are so well explained, easy to understand, not to mention fun. I began EPP because my machine has been in the shop for over 10 days, so I was thrilled to see the quilt of hexagons behind you. Did you make it, is there a pattern? The color selection is lovely. I also did learn the drizzle stitch. Thanks as always.

[@quiltroadies1695]

You know even though a majority of my projects have handwork when my machine goes in the shop I feel anxiety! The quilt behind me doesn't have a pattern it is just a bunch of I think either 6 or 8 inch squares cut into snow ball blocks and put together.

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗

[@cheryll8236]

What fabric is that you're using?? Love the drizzle stitch. I've not seen it before. Definitely will be using it in future projects.

[@quiltroadies1695]

the pincushion is on a grey wool :)

[@ajohnson2842]

Very good class. I’m going to get out my needle and give it a try. What was the stitch around the chicks, was that a bullion stitch also?

[@quiltroadies1695]

On this project I used the bullion a lot...cause I love it :)

[@valerievalagator6780]

"wrestling an orangutan" You are hilarious!

[@quiltroadies1695]

hehehehe

[@loumcconn19]

Thank you, love it

[@soymol6379]

It’s beautiful your proyecto 🥰

[@elisabethwink2298]

Also where did you get that magnetic needle holder that's in your fabric? You always have the greatest stuff and ideas. So, about that lamp you have by your machine in the beehive. Where did you find that and what's it called? You are soo informative. Thanks for being you.

[@quiltroadies1695]

Sorry it was a gift...such good taste on the givers part, lol

[@dijones2441]

Stitch in fun Anna 😘

[@doodle6166]

Do you use SF 101 on the back of your cross stitch fabric?

[@quiltroadies1695]

I do not..but on my embroidery definitely!

[@deborahdunnell6343]

I use my thumb like casting on knitting stitches.

[@quiltroadies1695]

I have heard knitters have an easier time with this stitch :)

[@valerielutzko9678]

Great tutorial! Where can I find the stitching pillow tutorial?

[@quiltroadies1695]

the link is in this video's description...you are going to love it!

[@maryannmcnees2464]

That's also known as a half hitch.

[@debbiegallett1125]

What thread are you using.

[@quiltroadies1695]

It was Sue Spargo's thread and I believe it was a varigated #8

[@nancyjones1060]

Where can I find the needle keeper with Paris and the Eiffel tower love your work

[@quiltroadies1695]

it was a gift so I don't have a clue but I love it!!

[@sandih.5798]

Love that the gal who won the kit has the last name Bird! Congratulations to her. Your pincushion is coming along nicely. I know you have a Slimline Daylight lamp also does it a remote to turn it on and off or a switch. Is it comparative to the Stella lamp? I’m thinking of buying one and would love your input on them comparing them to Ott lamps if you don’t mind. Enjoy your Portland time, although I think you might be back in Sisters already.

[@quiltroadies1695]

OMG...you need a Slimline with as much stitching as you do and late into the night! It give a lot more coverage because of it length but is unobtrusive...worth every penny. Although I am not replacing every Stella lamp in my life. Pincushion is done, adorable and am back in Sisters :)

[@chriseeeime9602]

have you made your needle roll yet????

[@kristie092]

Could you use this stitch for plain embroidery projects too?

[@quiltroadies1695]

I don't see why not...courage is a wonderful thing!

[@dkrzyston8485]

Whenever I’m going to add the Drizzle Stitch to another project I rewatch this video, lol. 🐝

[@quiltroadies1695]

me too, LOL

[@Dipsynoodle]

Looks kind of like the way my mother would cast on for her knitting.

[@quiltroadies1695]

exactly!

[@nellieflanders2531]

Lol🤣

[@coholt1]

Lol
