Every single time you say her name, I send up a little prayer for your family, and for Rebekah by name, that her heart would receive one more drop of comfort and healing....a mother's heart needs an entire lifetime of those precious drops. I love all 54 projects - go Lori!!!

I enjoyed seeing what you have planned on stitching for the months ahead plus what you've chosen for fabrics -- very helpful ! I'm amazed with how you already have SO much fibric for all of your chosen projects but I've always seen how organized you are so that didn't surprise me.. Thanks for nor only this video but for all since the 1st one. The Basket design would e fun to stitch but I think I'd change the flower colors.

[@OnceUponAStitch]

Hi Jan! When my LNS was opened, every time I went there I bought a few pieces of fabric and just held on to them. But because some of the patterns are larger, I have to see what I can find that I'll be comfortable stitching on. Enjoy the weekend💕

Thank you for your video. You're funny! Changing your mind about all those starts you were going to do on that video last year. I completely understand.

I look forward to seeing you work on them. Basket. Take care and happy stitching!

[@OnceUponAStitch]

Thanks so much. Happy May and happy stitching💕

[@angiefittro8372]

I would choose #2 for the Lady Quaker. By the way, I just noticed your wedding ring. It is gorgeous! It takes something special for me to notice jewelry. I did not know I was allergic to jewelry until I got my ears pierced when I was 11. As time passed, I discovered I could not wear a watch that was 14 carat gold, a class ring that was titanium, or wire rim glasses. Frankly, I think it was a gift from God because I would have more money to spend on cross-stitch since I could not wear jewelry, lol.

[@OnceUponAStitch]

Thanks for the suggestion of #2. I think that's where I'm leaning towards. I knew others allergic to certain metals and she could only wear 18 carat gold - more expensive. Thank you for the wedding band compliment. Years ago we had an awesome jewelry section of stores in lower Manhattan where you were able to buy more for your money. It's not the same today.

Hi Gail, when I had a local store, I purchased 98% of my fabric from them. And I have a little stash of them. I do purchase Picture This Plus from 123 Stitch.
