One over one on 28 count?!! Fantastic job on Modern Folk Embroidery, congratulations on this finish! What a great year 2024 has been for your stitching, lots of progress and 3 finishes. Thanks for sharing your efforts; you remain an inspiration for me and others.

@@carolharding9911 thanks Carol! Yup, 1x1 on 28 ct makes for a smaller, more delicate looking piece.

I’m in awe of your stitch count and that you’ve managed to stitch everyday. Amazing!! Great progress and love the stag! Happy stitching!

[@msufly]

@catharinestitches thanks so much! I love seeing all the things you're working on too!

[@juliedyson3383]

Many years ago, while I was teaching, I took the entire week of spring break and painted the inside of my house. I will NEVER paint another square inch again! It is important to find the things you don't like to do! Now that stitching that you do like to do is coming along beautifully! Love the gnomes - they are so cheerful.

[@msufly]

@juliedyson3383 absolutely. Gotta try things out to see if you enjoy them and you can also save $ doing it yourself, but some things are worth spending the $! Happy stitching!

[@janehouston6822]

Oh my! So outstanding ! The finish on MFE and the stag is fantastic . Thank you for sharing, love all your projects!

[@msufly]

@janehouston6822 thank you Jane! Merry Christmas!

[@cherylbenish3274]

You always get so much progress done on all your projects and it makes you a real inspiration to watch. So many beautiful patterns you are doing. Painting ceilings is pure torture. Don’t ever try removing wall to wall carpeting and especially on stairs. There are reasons that those trades charge what they do. Wishing you a Merry Christmas with your family. Happy stitching to you.

[@msufly]

@cherylbenish3274 I don't think I'll paint another ceiling! Lol. I can only imagine the # of staples to remove carpet from stairs! Merry Christmas!

Hi Kim! great finishes … I just love those gnomes, they are so cute! That ort jar lamp is cool. I bet your sunroom is going to be awesome when it’s done. A sunroom is something I am really hoping to add to this house someday.

[@msufly]

@TheCraftyCataloger thanks Katrina. I definitely need to stitch more gnomes for other seasons & holidays. The sun room will be great in nice weather!

[@sarahwebb1450]

Beautiful finishes and progress as always. I'm looking forward to seeing what you get done with Museum Shelf. Have a great stitching month, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@msufly]

@sarahwebb1450 thanks Sarah! Merry Christmas and happy stitching!

I have jelly world all kitted up and ready to go. I am so excited to start the 2025 HAED SAL.

[@msufly]

Me too Brooke!

[@dannaballard7652]

I love your idea of using artist canvas to finish.

[@msufly]

@dannaballard7652 thanks Danna! Such an easy way to fully finish and they come in so many sizes!

[@sherrygary626]

Great seeing you again! I have never painted walls or a ceiling. Kudos to you! Love all of your projects even though I am not a dragon fan, your projects are so beautiful. Take care, Merry Christmas, and look forward to seeing you at the end of the year.

[@msufly]

@@sherrygary626 thanks Sherry! ❤️ Merry Christmas and happy stitching!

[@occam5123]

Hi Kim. Congratulations on your 3 finish. That's amazing. And more finishes to come. Love the gnomes. They are so cute. Great idea with the canvas. Can't say no to a free trip, even if it is for work. 1 hour for 16 km's. Blimey! I'm sure the sun room will look amazing. Happy belated Thanksgiving. And happy stitching🧵🪡🐈‍⬛🐈🦃🦃

[@msufly]

@occam5123 thanks Occam! It was 16 miles, or 25.5 km or so, but still ridiculous. Merry Christmas and happy stitching!

[@mrsbobbinlacer]

Thank you for the video. I love your finishes. I can't paint rooms for the life of me because I see 3 of things, so the wall is never totally covered. My sister and family had to come and fix the walls, but I can paint pictures very odd, but it works. I love your life updates. I am so grateful for all your adventures because mine are past, and I always love your victories.

[@msufly]

@mrsbobbinlacer thank you! I like hearing about people's lives too so it good to share and connect. Happy stitching!

[@nicolasimplyastitcher]

I love how you are going to FFO the gnomes.. I think I might use that method for some of my pieces!

[@msufly]

@nicolasimplyastitcher it's such an easy finish and you can fid artist canvases in lots of sizs!

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Great full video Kim. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas 🤗🇬🇧

[@msufly]

@mrsmiggins6435 thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Fantastic progress Kim🎉 Thanks for the heads up on the December Stitches Sew Beautiful challenge. I just signed up on fb and hope I made it! 😮😊

[@msufly]

Thabk you. Yup, the deadline is midnight tonight (PST I think) so you made it!

[@deborahbrandenburger7240]

I must admit that that was not a "fun" way to spend time around Thanksgiving!! But it will be nice to have that room like you want it and be able to use it next year. Always love your full coverage progress and it's great to see finished!

[@msufly]

@deborahbrandenburger7240 thanks Deborah! Yup, it's worth it cus it'll be ready to use as soon as it's nice out! Merry Christmas!

[@maryannjohnson5410]

Nice progress on everything. I got Sundae Delight in the latest sale because of seeing yours. It looks like a fun stitch. Not sure when I'll start it. I'm doing the same dragon book as you. I haven't started yet but hope to this week. I hadn't thought about marking the rest of the pattern complete. When you finish that book will you unmark another one so that you can stitch it? Take care!

[@msufly]

@maryannjohnson5410 awesome, Sundae Delight is a fun stitch! So many of us are doing the same dragon book so that's cool. And yes, once I finish that book, I'll unmark the stitches on another book. I think I have enough skinny strips of fabric for 2-3 more.

Crafty Emily has a lovely channel, so glad you mentioned her. Great job as usual on your progress, I wish I could achieve half as much.

[@msufly]

@@MsRaineyroo thank you! Yes, I enjoy all of Emily's videos. 😊
