Beautiful dragon fly. Today's Quote: "We shouldn't be afraid to embrace whimsy, that nagging idea that life be magical; it could be special if we were only to take a few risks." -Donald Miller. Huge hugs. Namaste 🐞🐞🐞

[@JeriBellini]

Love it! Thanks Lala! 💜

[@debzehr3244]

I love what you showed of your scroll. 💖 Thank you for sharing your fabric distressing tip 💖💖 I thoroughly enjoy your stories. 💖💖💖

[@JeriBellini]

You are so welcome! And I appreciate you leaving me a comment! 💜

[@Love-to-sew-so-much-56]

I would’ve never thought of mixing colors together in one strand! I love listening to you talk. Thank you for all your videos.🎉

[@JeriBellini]

You are so welcome! I'm glad you're here! 💜

[@carolbyrne3241]

Thank you for the tips on distressing fabric, it’s brilliant. Love your stories as you stitch ❤ Looking forward to seeing your bag ❤

[@JeriBellini]

You are so welcome! It will be out tomorrow (friday) 💜

[@terriyoung2389]

Jeri, I’m not sure what people expect the content creators to do in their own videos. Talk away. I have a feeling the folks who do those types of comments will always find something to complain about. I love your stories.

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you! I have to joke about it, it's so absurd to me! Sending love and hugs! 💜

[@lourdesdelalastra-rojas5865]

LOL you’re too funny!!! Love the idea of the emoji…for real, are you supposed to be silent while explaining what you’re doing!? Talk your little heart out. I’m sure a lot of us enjoy the chitchat and even laugh with you (I know I do). Like you said at the beginning, we’re hanging out, that means we talk and laugh. LOVE the dragonfly, it’s my favorite bug!

[@JeriBellini]

@@lourdesdelalastra-rojas5865 Thanks, did you notice I changed the title to read, Stitch-n-Storytime! LOL

[@cathiespalding2083]

Loving your scroll…you come up with the most creative and interesting pieces to put on it. Can’t wait to see your bag

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you so much! I'm IN LOVE with the bag! Want to make another already! ❤️

[@anitajansen5610]

I love dragonflies, they have a special meaning to me. I'll definitely try to make it👍🧡

Wonderful! I love them too! 💜

thanks Cheryl! 💜💜💜

[@ljshaw8516]

So relaxing to watch you stitch and listen to your chit chat Jeri. Like an old friend coming by for some tea and biscochitos. I'll have to post my dragonfly with needle lace wings on your KZbin! Great minds think alike. We have a bright blue Jeep Latitude and a bright orange Jeep Compass. You're right, they're great. Prior had a bright construction yellow vehicle and always waved when we saw another and didn't even know it was thing back in 2004. I think you have a Jeep REBEL??? x's lj

[@JeriBellini]

It's a Jeep Renegade... and they should have named it Rebel! I like the sounds of that better! LOL Yes, I feel like you're all sitting with me when I'm going on and on... LOL 💜💜💜

[@ljshaw8516]

@@JeriBellini Well do I get a B- for it started with an "R"? lol 🤣

[@sandraweiler5971]

I love your dragonfly, I hope I can stitch one as cute as yours!!!

[@JeriBellini]

I can't imagine why you couldn't! I'm sure it will be amazing! 💜💜💜

[@maz3002]

I love seeing your scroll come together ❤ what a great tip on making a ragged edge!! Love the dragonfly too!!! 💕💕

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 💜

[@vanessaporter7669]

Beautiful dragonfly! I love it! And for heavens sake you do not talk too much! People these days are so rude and high strung, they just need to settle down, relax and breathe before they speak, or in this case, comment!

[@JeriBellini]

YES!!!! Thank you! 💜💜💜

[@sharlabrechbill5768]

Thanks for all the helpful tips. I will be trying the krunkle and cut method to get rid of those straight edges!

[@JeriBellini]

I LOVE that "the krunkle and cut method" ! 💜 maybe I should make a seperate video on it, maybe I will! LOL 💜

[@HesterSnyman]

Keep on talking, we will keep on listening ❤

[@JeriBellini]

YES!!! 💜💜💜

[@carolynculp7087]

We have a jeep rally down here in Biloxi and when someone admires the jeep you’re showing at Jeeping the Coast they give the owner a rubber ducky. It actually is a rather new tradition. We’ve had a couple of jeeps, too and loved them. I’m glad you don’t pay any attention to the negative commenters. I thought my response would negate those people. I turned on KZbin and saw your new video, and shouted “Jerri, yay!” I love your videos and are very inspired by them.

[@JeriBellini]

Loving the duck idea myself! And thank you so much for the Jeri, YAY! ❤️❤️❤️

[@karena.2416]

So 26 yrs. ago I made a quilt with the blocks having 4 overlapping circles all hand sewn, a long term fun project. Well just recently discovered your Dots project and now I am making circles on blocks for another quilt. Circles aren’t perfectly round as I am turning under the edges but I’m excited. ❤ I will once again use buttonhole stitch to hold the circle down then quilt the block ( eventually lol). I’m not worried about how long it takes, it will just be a fun diversion from the pieced quilts I continuously make.

[@JeriBellini]

Absolutely! It's all about the process, enjoy yourself and take your time! Thanks for watching! 💜

[@c.kallman127]

How about a lady bug???? Really enjoy your videos. Just made a rice bag. Lining was a challenge for me. Will watch ur Friday video for sure. Did kantha stitching on my rice bag. You are such a great video for" sit and stitch". Hv been working on my dots...many people r doing these!!! Did u ever think something so easy is becoming a "THING" . 😂 LOL thanks for the video.

[@Hellen-pf7ts]

Hi Jeri, I'm recently new to your channel (the last 2 episodes) and I love what you are doing, so inspiring and creative. I'm starting to get my stuff together to make the dots in squares project. But now I'm blown away by your beautiful dragonfly. Will try to catch up now with all your past episodes, thanks so much for sharing 😊, Helen

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you so much! and Welcome! 💜

[@allyoop3108]

Just found your channel recently and subscribed. I am retired and get to do my art full time -yahoo! I have loved your work AND all your stories. I would be disappointed if you stopped. (Ignore those who complain, they can go elsewhere!).

[@JeriBellini]

Awesome! Thank you! Congratulations on your retirement! ❤️

[@Kitten49able]

I love your creativity!

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you so very much! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm SO grateful that so many people love them and now they are a thing! I think you will find my rice bag really easy to make if you do the squares/dots like I did. Thanks for being here! 💜💜💜

I think I'm heading for a rice bag and needle book x

[@JeriBellini]

HAHAHAaahhhahahheeeeh Yes you are! 💜💜💜

[@jacquielawrence5670]

I will put a photo , in the group of my layout x

[@newmoonjlp]

Rice bags was my first thought when I saw your dots collection!

[@JeriBellini]

OH! Great minds..... hope you make one! ❤️

[@janillingsworth5347]

I have begun my scroll. Such fun. You were saying that you had problems dividing the strands of embroidery thread. The trick is to cut your length of thread and go to the middle of the length and divide it there. Pull it apart from the middle, and it won't tangle. On one video, you were saying some subscribers were critiquing you for talking too much, and you didn't know how to respond. Ask them for the name of their channel so that you can visit and learn from them the exact, right amount of talking. Critics are usually people who don't do. Most art critics are not artists,for instance, and literature critics don't write, so those criticizing your videos probably don't have their own channel.❤ I love your creativity and your purpose. I am 75 and like to create every day.

[@JeriBellini]

I always go look when I get a weird comment, to see if they have a channel and they never do! Thank you for being here! 💜

[@deborahmeyer-y4m]

I love dragonflies and yours is gorgeous! They are my thing and now I need to make one! LOL I want to make so many things you've shown us. I am thankful for you. Can't wait to see the Dot Bag! Blessings.

[@JeriBellini]

Oh that's great that you love dragonflies! It just came right out of me! I love when that happens. Thank you for being here! ❤️

[@suen6410]

I am a knitter and a girl I follow has a burgundy jeep, she has wanted one forever.well her husband loved it so he got another one for himself. She takes duckies and puts them on other Jeeps door handles. Love watching your fun creative work. I so enjoy hearing you talk, I shared you with another one of my creative friend and told her I so enjoyed your chats and creative works. Can’t wait to hear about the dot bag. I have made 2 rice bags for my knitting.

[@JeriBellini]

Oh that's so nice that you have 2! I AM going to make another one and experiment more! ❤️ Thank you for sharing my channel! ❤️❤️❤️

[@terryk5656]

Look up Jeep Easter Eggs. The company adds a little mark on jeeps for the owner to find. My sisters Jeep had a tiny mountain climber on the bottom of her windshield. She was so sad where she got a big rock chip and had to replace the original windshield. We are from Canada but I think US Jeeps would have them too

[@JeriBellini]

YES! My husband just learned of them and we had fun looking, BUT I also have them on my car!!!!! I had NO IDEA! I have a Jeep Renegade and I have at least 30 eggs! I have the Sasquatch on my back window! And the NO STEP inside my back door, Brian doesn't even have those! LOL 💜💜💜

[@lesleynitschke4858]

Funny we have Jeeps here and my dream car is a jeep Wrangler lol...the wave you mention we do that when driving out on the open road, it's a courtesy thing to acknowledge one and another on the road, love how our customs are similar but different too

[@JeriBellini]

I can't wait to see "Willy" LOL and I'll wave if Brian won't! ❤️

[@gailsmith-gv5zl]

Viva la krunkle!!

[@JeriBellini]

YAYAYAYAY! 💜💜💜💜💜

[@user-cc9bp9gn2d]

Love your dragonfly. Have you ever tried using a small embroidery hoop for your beautiful stitchery? I know some stitchers like the feel of the fabric scrunched up in their hands. I scrunch😊 my needlepoint.

[@JeriBellini]

Yes I have And sometimes I am in love with a hoop and sometimes I am not. I could have tried using a hoop for the dragonfly.... hmmm... I just didn't think of it so I did scrunch it! 💜

[@carolcuming2152]

I think it was what rookie drivers were called..

[@JeriBellini]

💜💜💜

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Jeri have you heard about leaving a rubber ducky on a jeep? My Daughter has a Jeep SUV. I guess I should have waited till the end of the video 😂.

[@JeriBellini]

Hey Eva, no problem the more comments the better YT will like me! 💜

[@ljshaw8516]

Wherever did you find a purple rubber ducky?? I love it, as you know purple is my passion color 💜

[@JeriBellini]

Hey LJ, I ordered a big box of duckies to give out to other Jeepers... It was in there!

[@carolcuming2152]

In the 60's there was a tv show, either with cops, or long distance truck drivers, who I think used "rubber ducky" as a code call. However I cant remember what the original means.

[@JeriBellini]

Loving the Duckie! ❤️ Was it Convoy?

Hi Carrold, ask your questions here if you have any. I'm only too happy to answer. 💜

[@lanceanderson8318]

Ask the lady who thinks you talk too much, what is the name of your channel?

[@JeriBellini]

Hahahaheeeee! ❤️

[@alexandraalmeida3661]

Please, please, do talk too much! What are you going to do? Keep quiet? There are so many people who are alone (like me) and we love to have someone who’s talking to us, telling us stories, making us laugh! I only subscribe to channels in which artists talk too much! If they don’t, goodbye 😂! You’re a kind of a friend with whom we stitch with! And don’t we talk to friends? To those people, I would answer: take the sound off 😂! 💙💜🧡❤️🩵💚🤎♥️💛

Honestly I feel like you're sitting right here with me and I love the visit! We are all keeping each other company, we are a community!!! 💜💜💜
