FlossTube 10 - Mirabilia Pattern Collection Part 2 - MD101-MD180

[@stitchingbelowsealevel1177]

Thank you for taking the time to show your treasures. A very impressive collection. It's always nice to see other peoples 'crazyness' in cross stitch. I find it calming!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it! ☺️💕

[@robingregg5928]

Loved the video. I just kitted up Sabrina as well. The beads just came. I feel she reminds me of Audrey Hepburn.

[@cyndimartinez524]

What a fun day watching your Mirabilia videos and stitching. Took my mind off the world issues for a while. ❤️

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

That’s all we can hope for right now is a little bit of distraction between the doses of reality. Hang in there, and thanks for watching 💕

[@alisstitchingstudio8990]

Hi there, thanks so much for this parade of Mira charts. They are fabulous and I concur with others, some I had not seen 'in person' before. You asked if anyone had stitched the Red Lady Pirate before and yes I have. It is on my channel here and also on my IG which is private but you can request to follow. I allow stitchers to follow me !! I am going to go and binge watch the rest of your channel. I am a huge Nora Corbett fan and you will see a lot of her work on my IG. Thanks again for the time it took to do these videos. Happy stitching to you. Take care, love from Brisbane, Australia.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you for watching my video!! I can’t wait to check out your channel - I love Red Lady Pirate and I’m so happy to find other Mira lovers!! ☺️💕

[@corynneperson275]

I didn’t realize you were in STL. St. Louis had at least 10 shops in the metro area when I first started stitching. Now there is nothing and it is so sad. We used to have enough for a shop hop so I went to them all. I worked at Stitches on Main St. in St. Charles for a few years til I got married and started teaching. To go from that many to nothing is so strange and the same for quilt shops. There are only a couple of those. I’m really enjoying your videos.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you for watching my videos, and it’s so nice to meet a local stitcher!!! ☺️💕 It’s very sad that the cross stitch stores are all gone in the STL area! ☹️ I dream of quitting my day job and opening a cross stitch shop so we can bring it back to the area again. Maybe one day!!

[@bronteg2250]

I so appreciate your descriptions and references to other stitchers and the way they have done the pieces. It is so inspiring to see how many ways a piece can be presented.

[@TessLynnxo]

I say go for it! start with number one and see how far you go! Good Luck🎉

[@magnolianana1552]

What an amazing collection! I love the idea of stitching them in order!! You should go for it!🙃 Thank for sharing with us and giving the materials required for each design. The only Mira I own is Elizabeth and the Lavender Sky which I must stitch someday soon. 💗

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I think everyone needs to stitch at least one Mirabilia 😉 I hope you have a fabulous week of stitching! ☺️💕

[@marlenechurchill3664]

I have so enjoyed seeing your collections! What a treasure you have! Thanks for sharing them….happy stitching!

[@margaretbaker623]

Interesting again, thank you. I think you should stitch the ones you love. Maybe start at #1 and from then on, choose whether to stitch every one, or just every one you can't miss out on. Rouen is pronounced roo-on, with the N only barely there. ⚘️

[@helenashby6977]

Thank you so much for showing all of your Mirabilia's! I loved seeing them all. Yes it would be amazing to stitch them all in order. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you!

I thought I would mention that I love longer videos mixed in because it gives me a change to sit and stitch with no distractions. It keeps me going and get me to make lots of progress! Keep them coming

[@LouXstitchAficionado]

Hi, I’m so glad that u completed your Mira design parade. I saw the MD180, and it’s different in the use of colours. As to Sabrina, I’d not change the colour in the dress as it depicts the original 1954 movie Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. That was the dress Sabrina wore at Larrabee’s party when she first came back from Paris. I doubt if I’ll ever stitch a Mirabilia, but I certainly enjoy looking at your collection and all your stitching progress. Cheers for now from Eastern 🍁 Canada 🇨🇦

[@Attia1701]

Wouldn't Sabrina be beautiful to do a dark hair conversion to mimic Audrey's hair🌼

[@LouXstitchAficionado]

Oh Barina, that would be brilliant. If I had the talent and the time, this is one Mira that I would do…

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Now that you bring that up about her dress you are SO right, the dress really shouldn’t be changed at all! Besides I already have it kitted up with the black thread and all the black beads ☺️. I might look into changing her hair to be more authentic too, another great idea!! This is why I love FlossTube, to meet stitchy friends who can help me make decisions and give me such wonderful ideas!! 💕💕

[@LouXstitchAficionado]

That's why we watch you to get inspired...

[@trishmcgoogan3921]

Loved your Mirabilia chart parades! So many beautiful patterns, I thought I had quite a collection but....lol. Fellow Cdn here, originally from Montreal but in Ontario now. So glad I found you and look forward to future videos. Cheers, Trish

[@cjstitches5709]

Wow! Stunning patterns. I would also start with No. 1. I did that with Paula Vaughn’s patterns back in the day. Haven’t finished them all yet but have them and have done quite a few as gifts. Stitch what and how it makes you happy. You are a girl after my own heart. I just told my husband that you may start with No. 1 and he laughed and said I had a twin out there 😂😂. Hope you have a great week, stay safe and happy stitching ❤️❤️

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

You are so hilarious, I just love having a “stitching twin”!! 😂🤣

[@ChristyHunter]

I really enjoyed you sharing the Mirabilia patterns. They are very unique and I think you have a great collection. I have no desire to stitch one, but so appreciate the work that goes into them. They are beautiful. Even if you never get around to stitching them it would be cool to just have them in plastic sleeves in some kind of book format to look at. They only have so many patterns printed so just collecting the printed copies can be a hobby itself. I remember as a kid collecting baseball cards and opening packages to try and get all the cards in a set. It could be the same thing with specific designs of patterns. Get all the printed patterns from one designer.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Absolutely true, collecting the patterns is its own hobby! People fill shelves with books they’ve not yet read, I just put patterns on my shelf that I haven’t yet stitched. 😉💕

[@angelakopecky888]

You have an incredible collection of everything! And, your videos are never too long!!! 😃

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you so much! ☺️💕

[@fiberartsamy2654]

I agree with you about the earlier patterns; overall they’re my favorite too. Yes it’s wild to stitch them all in order, but would be super fun anyway, so if you want to, go for it! Thanks for a great video!

[@jamesthephstitcher]

Finally part 2 is here, I really enjoy this video same with the Part 1. If I have all these charts, maybe I'll be stitching also the first one to the latest. It would be crazy but amazing. I am trying to do that on the Bella Filipina Designs, I am starting this year to collect all of their patterns since all of them are not yet out of print. But still I love to stitch the Miras...

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

I haven’t yet started collecting the Bella Filipina designs but they are very beautiful! It’s hard to decide what to stitch on - Miras, full coverage/HAEDs, kits… too many lovely designs available and not enough time! ☺️

[@stitchinglonestar6362]

Yay! I feel complete now that I have seen all 179!!! I’ve never seen many of them. Thank you for sharing. I definitely have some favorites (circle of friends, white santa).

[@beckybesendorfer2427]

Another great video! I think I like the earlier Mirabilia patterns. It is a crazy idea to stitch them in order, enough to do it. Stitch what makes you happy.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thanks for letting me know what you think of my idea! My husband already thinks I’m crazy so he’s not very helpful when I ask his opinion 😂. You are 100% right, we need to stitch what makes us happy 💕

[@suecallen9915]

I love your idea of stitching all the MD's and stitching them in order numerically! Crazy yes, crazy fun! I have a lot of the older charts and none of the newer ones - have stitched several and used to alternate between Lavender and Lace/Told in a Garden/Butternut Road and Mira's. Now I'm hooked on HAED's.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

It’s so hard to decide what to stitch on when all I want to do is stitch everything!! 😂 There’s something very satisfying about stitching full coverage - 1 over 1 and no backstitch, and an epic masterpiece when it’s done! 👍☺️

[@thesoapystitcher2987]

Stitching them in order is something I would totally want to do if I owned them all!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

@@NeedleberryStitcher it’s like a weird stitchers OCD. Hahahaha

[@sarahkay8784]

I did Red as charted and it’s gorgeous. However I’m not sure if the Waterlilies in the piece really showed up and were worth the expense. Same with At The Met. I wanted them to be more in that stash. On At The Met I subbed the treasures for Bicones from a beading place. They are the exact same thing and so much cheaper. I’m stitching Zelda and I changed the waterlilies for cotton dyed floss. A mix of DMV overdyed for the flowers in the bottom of her dress, a weeks floss for the greyish color in her dress and a purple from Threadworx. Threadworx also has overdyed silks that are just beautiful and fun to work with. There is a group on FB that is devoted to just Mira designs that people have converted and I know I’ve seen so many versions of Red. It’s called Mirabilia Nora Corbett FULL conversions. Every now and then I want to stitch Red again in maybe purple!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thanks for all this great info!! I love Red, and I know what you mean about subbing other beads and threads in Mira patterns to save on cost (and also for threads and treasures that are no longer available). I’m not very active on FB but I guess I should start checking out some groups! 👍😃

[@donnabecreates]

That was fun 2 (too)! Thanks for sharing!

[@karlaromero3292]

Hello! Loved these videos…I like doing things in an order so it doesn’t sound crazy to start with the first one. Happy stitching!

[@littledoe4529]

I’m from STL and moved to Florida 5 years ago. I grew up by Sign of the Arrow (which is definitely an awesome store, and it’s legendary for needlepointers) so I never knew the world of cross stitch. I’ve been LOVING the recent years I’ve been cross stitching because I definitely prefer owning charts.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Ah yes, Sign of the Arrow is a great Needlepoint shop! The one I’ve found recently is called Needlepoint Clubhouse, they have a few silks (Gloriana), Kreiniks and Rainbow Gallery threads. I think they also have Sulky threads but I haven’t invested in any of those yet. I’m happy if I can get even a few supplies locally and support local businesses 👍🙂

[@teresasmith2919]

I loved looking at your Mirabilia collection. I have a good portion of them. I never was too fond of the mermaids so I don’t have many of them. I did stitch the Santa Magic. I have a lot of the old ones and several of the new ones. Nora Corbett is my favorite designer. Starting with the first one sounds like a plan. 😊

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Santa Magic is gorgeous! I never used to be a fan of the mermaids either until Nora released Enchanted Mermaid - I would definitely stitch that one!

[@susanoberfell9861]

Yes indeed. Do stitch them in order! That would be so awesome. I have never stitched one but like to see them.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

It would definitely be so interesting to work on the Miras in order! 👍☺️. I hope you have a wonderful stitchy week!! 💕

The Garden Prelude #165 is being stitched by Cherry Hill Stitchery (a designer) and she is stitching it on a Flair Fabric that has a rose arch behind her and it is so pretty. Plus she also plays the violin and so she added sleeves to the dress as she said she would never perform with her violin wearing a strapless dress which i found interesting. Her rendition is very pretty. I enjoyed seeing your collection.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you!! I will check out Cherry Hill Stitchery, sounds like she has a lot of knowledge and an amazing take on the pattern! Thanks so much for sharing, I love to find new FlossTubers stitching Mirabilias! ☺️💕

I loved this video so much!! I only have one Mirabilia but now I want to pull it out!

[@teresaboyer5707]

I loved your video! I haven’t found 01 yet, so I will see them after the new ones. You had some that I will admit I have not seen! Like you, I love Princess Eliana and I also love Blossom, the newest one. She has kind of similar colors as Eliana. I love the idea of stitching them from the beginning, but you’d better be a fast stitcher, which I am not! Lol. I was really into Mira’s early in my stitching career- I did 2 mermaids and Midsummer Nights fairy, and then Winter Queen. Then hit a Mira wall. I have a couple of others under construction and need to get back to them. You really made me remember my love for them. I can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you SO much for the nice comment, and for watching my videos! 💕☺️. I do love Miras, I am not a fast stitcher 😂, and I have so many other stitching passions too (full coverage, Dimensions kits…) I need several more lifetimes to do it all! If you continue working on Miras I hope you’ll let me know which ones!

[@zebstitches]

It's not crazy to want to stitch all the Miras, but realistically it might not be possible if you want to also complete them all. I too love a lot of the older ones, but I am focusing on the ones that REALLY call to me and investing my time into them. LOVE this second round of your Mirabilia collection. Re-affirms my desire to own every single one lol working on it.

Just finished watching your latest mirabilia video, of your collection, a lovely watch. I haven't stitched any of the ladies, love seeing them though, but the Santa so enabled, now need to find in the uk. I am going have to curb my list as already ordered the Dimensions Finery of Nature after seeing it on your channel. As I am not very good with evenweave or linen do you think aida would work for the mirabilia santa. x

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Santa is pretty much full coverage except for the outside border, and I personally think Aida would be preferable over linen for that design! I know people who only stitch Mirabilias on Aida. I say go for it, it will be beautiful! 😍

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

There are a few that are a bit less complicated and have more regular crosses and not so much Kreinik and beading. The Seasonal Garden ones are on the easier side (Summer in My Garden, Spring in My Garden, etc) or if you want a lady in a dress the pattern “Starlet” isn’t too big and it doesn’t have too many extra fancy flosses or beads, just a few. Starlet is SO pretty! Find one that you will love, you won’t feel like stitching on it if you don’t really fall in love with it. Happy stitching!! 💕💕
