Love you new kits, and I really enjoyed the stitching. It's relaxing to watch you stitch and catch up on your life. Congrats to your son, Mom's are always so proud of their young ones. That's so great about the Dimensions kits, I have been destashing charts that I e stitched, and giving them to stitchers I know will stich them.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thanks for visiting with me, Linda! i'm glad you enjoyed my little stitch and chat. Hope you're having a great summer!

[@RhubarbPatchStudio]

Last time you did a Dimensions kit parade it cost me some money, since I had to go and find a couple that you showed. 😄 I’m glad you’re following your stitchy bug wherever it wants you to go, and congrats on being a Plaid Creator! Thanks for the update and happy stitching! -Leah Noel

[@calico_whimsy]

Hi Leah! Oh, you may want to keep you pocketbook nearby for my next kit parade. reach out to me if you want the name of my "dealer" she has quite the collection ;)

[@lynncordova8169]

The coin purse is adorable. I had 2 Mill aHill kits go "walk about". Still haven't found them. I put them in an unusual, very safe place. Lol.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

I love seeing all your kits. And you don't just buy them, you get them done too! Congrats on being contacted by bucilla, I look forward to seeing your next felt tube. Happy stitching

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! I sure wish I could get them ALL done. Can't stitch fast enough, lol

[@jennuhxstitches3729]

Congrats on the Plaid Creator! That is HUGE! Enjoy it! I always love watching your Mill Hill stitching but I also love Dimensions and you stitch so many beautiful ones. So eitherway I'm here for them all. Haha. Happy Stitching!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! I'm so excited about Plaid! I love their products!

I was happy to see your video appear, as I had been waiting eagerly! Love the Mill Hill haul, cute kits! I’m looking forward to seeing what kits you got from that lady, you must have been in heaven talking to her and finding out what she had. Hope your son passes his test, fingers crossed 🤞🏼 Looking forward to your next video, and also your felting video, not my thing but I like seeing the videos regardless . Have a lovely day and end of week, have a lovely weekend too, glad the stitchy bug returned ❤

[@calico_whimsy]

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you Laura! I'm working on getting that parade filmed! :)

[@in_re_cross_stitching]

Hi there. Just catching up on some of your latest videos bc I was off crocheting again. So happy to hear about the Plaid creator opportunity. I'm glad they did that for you because you got me started on Bucilla felt kits and I'm sure so many other people as well. I look forward to more felt videos. 😀 Thanks for the excellent content.

[@calico_whimsy]

I'm glad you came back for a visit! I hope you are still enjoying some felt crafts :) I'm always more than happy to enable :D

[@xstitchinglibrarian]

Hi Christine, thanks for keeping me company while I kitted up a few projects for later this year. Nice job on those Mill Hills. I am looking forward to your kit/wip parade.❤

[@calico_whimsy]

and thank you for stopping be for a visit! :) I can't wait to see what you kited up!

[@jacquestedcooper]

I love the Mill Hill haunted house and I hope you finish it because I’ve had my eye on That kit and would like to see your finish on it. I’m looking forward to seeing all the Dimension kits you purchased. Have a great July.

[@calico_whimsy]

I'll make a point at getting it finished just for you! ☺️💜💜

[@missteaandstitches]

Congrats again on the plaid ambassador ship!!! Also YAY kits hahaha

[@calico_whimsy]

like I need more kits!!!!!

[@e_craftingincolorado]

Congratulations on becoming a Bucilla embasador! That’s super exciting!!! Hope you are staying dry. 🌺 elisa

[@calico_whimsy]

Thanks Elisa! I'm pretty excited about it!

[@dianelynum8530]

Hi Christine, I love the haunted house mill hill kit you are doing and I think I might have to get the little purse. I just finished a small Mill Hill kit, fireflies in a jar. I know it’s the middle of July, but I think you should ditch the July Christmas stitching and go right into one of your new Dimensions kits. Can’t wait to see them. Take care.

[@calico_whimsy]

I love that little firefly jar kit! Spoiler alert: I DID dive into one of my new kits ☺️

[@loriholmes8705]

Hello Christine. I always enjoy seeing what you’re stitching on. The little purse is so cute. Every time I see you stitching a Mill Hill I think why havent I stitched one? Im looking forward to seeing your newly acquired dimensions kits and your video on the summer felt kit. Happy stitching!

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you Lori! You really must stitch a little mill hill for starters, they are soooo fun! Happy stitching!

[@BernStitches]

I’m so excited to watch your acquired kits!!! I came back for more but I got a “I’m sorry, I just sold that to your friend Christine” 😂 😂

[@calico_whimsy]

lol, she knows my taste now and keeps sending me pictures of kits I can't resist! :) Let me know if I have one you wanted...I'll be happy to send you the chart when I'm done!

[@kraftnkris2999]

How exciting! Congrats on becoming an Influencer. I think you’re a perfect choice. I really enjoy your Feltube! 😆 Loving all of your fall Mill Hills. I might need to add a few of those to my wish list! Can’t wait to see what Dimension kits you scored. Take care. 😄

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you Kris! I still have a couple more kits I'm waiting on from E. 😁🩷

[@kraftnkris2999]

@@calico_whimsy I’m hoping mine will arrive this week.

[@calico_whimsy]

@@kraftnkris2999 Exciting!!!

[@jacquelinefavero4329]

Hi Christine, always happy to see a new video from you😊. I love the Haunted Cottage you are doing, it looks great!!. I laughed, because I was thinking that would be so cute with glow in the dark beads and two seconds later, you said it comes with glow in the dark beads😂. Congratulations on becoming a Plaid Creator, you will be great at this opportunity. I love your Felt Tube , can't wait to see your upcoming video. Take care😊.

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! I agree, that kit just screams for glow in the dark! I will do my best to keep all the videos coming this summer! Happy stitching!

[@collbn]

I love the Mill Hill cottage. I really need to make all the Mill Hill kits in my stash. I love fall Halloween themes now, so any time after July 4, I think its time for fall! lol That's awesome about Plaid. I can't wait to see what they send you.

[@calico_whimsy]

I totally agree....Bring on the Fall! Have you been doing any felt projects lately?

[@collbn]

@@calico_whimsy I'm working on an older kit "Sparkle Snowflake" It's mainly blue and white.

[@calico_whimsy]

@@collbn sounds pretty!

[@cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

That purse is so pretty!! What will you do with it? I may buy that and make it for my niece, who loves purses! Congrats on being an influencer!! You create beautiful projects from those kits and you deserve the official title!! 😊🌞

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! I just hung that little purse near my stitchy spot to enjoy. I'm starting to get sooooo many ornaments between the Mill Hills and the Bucilla felt kits, that I'm thinking I need to get a year round Xmas tree to display them all year long!

[@ellenmeester5802]

Hi Christine! I loved watching your video! Please start a new Dimensions kit and please do a Dimensions kit parade in 1 (long) video.❤

[@calico_whimsy]

Spoiler alert....I started a new Dimensions on the 4th! I'm thinking the only way I'm going to have time to film a ling Dimensions video is if I do it in my car with good lighting and no interruptions, lol!

[@JennsCraftyWorld]

You are a perfect choice for a Bucilla Creator! Now if only Mill Hill would call you....! Looking forward to seeing your newest kits😊

[@calico_whimsy]

Ah yes, that would be amazing!!

[@marika.stitches]

Hi Christine! Brilliant idea on racking some fabric to your perforated paper, those buttons and bead kits have real big paper and it was somewhat hard to hold. Going to try to figure out how to do it with my q-snaps :) picked up some new dimensions kit this month too :) thank you for sharing!

[@calico_whimsy]

Oh yeah, you must do the fabric trick, it's great! I think you might need to use the 11x11 qsnaps, but 8x8 might work! I still can't believe how fast you cruised through you Haunted Cottage! Needles on fire!

[@sandrawood7852]

That coin purse is adorable. I have the kit I just need to stitch it and I’m so glad to hear that. It was so easy and fun to stitch up but I am wondering if one could stuff it? With it being perforated paper I’m kind of a frayed that probably not, but I guess I could do it on black Ada and then stuff it. Any recommendation whether I should attempt to stop that or not? Since how some people make pillows out of their Crosstitch projects.

[@calico_whimsy]

@@sandrawood7852 I think stuffing it would be so cute! I think you're right about needing to do it on Aida, though. The paper is just too stiff. I hope you give it a try ❤️❤️

[@Stacy_Needle]

Hi! Christine) I am really glad that I’ve found your channel) I am also captured by felt kits and I am a big mill hill lover 😊 I am from Ukraine but I’ve got several videos in Eng) welcome if interested ❤

Welcome to my channel! I just subscribed to yours and look forward to watching! Happy stitching❤️

[@Aqualovinhippychick]

Hello, I'm trying to find an old Mill Hill cross stitch book that was about 15 years old. It had the treasures, buttons, beads, and various types of floss. It was a banner. The top was a witch, and it I think had green face, with purple shiny hairy type thread, and sampler style. Had candy corns, bats, ghosts (buttons and pattern) and was about 2 feet long, and maybe 10 inches wide. I have looked all over the internet and cannot find the book or pattern. Please help?? I don't think it was a kit, but it has been long enough, maybe I've forgotten...Thank you, Michelle

[@calico_whimsy]

I'll see what I can find out for you! Sounds like a great pattern!

[@calico_whimsy]

There is an old Mill Hill book called Bittersweet Moon MHP93 that has many patterns similar to what you described could that be it?

[@kimberlywatson7788]

Super excited for you !!! And your official influencer title ! I must follow your other channel! Off to do that now ♥️. Sent you a message on IG regarding your contact 💗

[@calico_whimsy]

Thank you! My felt videos are on the same channel, just a different playlist. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll go get your message on IG!
