[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Tami! ❤️

[@Savannahstitcher]

I just found your floss tube and enjoyed it very much. Then I peaked at Sarah w’s and liked hers also. I did that when you mentioned that she was an Aida stitcher, and you are a Linen stitcher and people like the comparison. Well, I am an Aida stitcher, and I always thought how nice it would be to see the same thing side-by-side on different fabric. So when you mentioned that I quickly subscribe to your channel and to her channel. So now on rainy days while I’m stitching, I will go back and watch all of the KZbin‘s. Folk

[@sarahsstitchery]

I’m so glad you found us both and that you enjoy seeing the same projects stitched on both linen and Aida! Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@eileensanford6086]

Love the folk themed board. I love bees and noticed that you stitched a lot of the patterns that I have marked.

[@loidaruiz7112]

Those folk stitches are adorable
