Lori I agree with you cross stitching should be a hobby that brings joy. If you’re feeling pressured by this hobby, take a step back. Do you and the things that bring you joy. I Love your stitching. Continue doing what you love. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Thanks Linda. You're so right. It's a hobby! Whatever I do stitch, I'll be sure to share. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and happy stitching💕

Stitching is definitely a hobby, and you do what works for you! I love the motivation the acrostics bring for me to touch on older WIPs. I so enjoy watching your chats as you have a very relaxing way to share what you love! Enjoy the stitch! See you again soon!

Thanks so much Karla. Some days I'm so excited to stitch, I feel the day goes by so quickly that I wish I had more hours in a day. Happy June 💕

Hi Lori, thank you for sharing your beautiful projects. I’m also stitching the Angel of Light for my son and I’m going to use gold beads instead of gold floss, I’ll see if I like it, if not I’ll change it for floss. I’m at the beginning of the project I have still a log way to go. Blessings to you and your family ❤️🇬🇧

[@vickibenyo]

Libby's ornament is absolutely darling with the color changes you made. You appear to get a lot of stitching in despite watching the grands. I think I'm going to try your method of stitching in a q-snap. I enjoy my in hand poke and stab method but I NEED to get through these patterns quicker! And I certainly have the tummy to handle your method...🤥

[@OnceUponAStitch]

Vicki! Oh my goodness! Your thank you card arrived. I just love this scissor fob. I will cherish it forever. Thank you so very much. Today we had a finishing day and I was able to finish Libby's ornament. I'll share in the next video. I really love working with q-snaps. Give it a try. I think the 11 x 11 works well.

Your Brenda Keyes sampler is stunning! I love the straight stitches on the weeping willow tree. Libby's ornament is a perfect remembrance of her and I love the color changes that you made. I have also not stitched on a higher count than 28 and find I am happy with what I do, even if someone else works on 46 count. You have to do what is joyful for you.

Hi Lori! I love the samplers you stitch on. They're just so pretty. All the over one on Plum Street pieces makes me hesitant about them as well. I have a few here that I haven't started because of the over one. But, like you, I'm going to stitch them and push myself to tackle learning over one stitching😊. I love the little piece you stitched from the Lori Holt stitch cards! Cant wait to see how you FFO it😊

[@DeeAZstitcher]

Great work on your WIPS, bummer on the frogging, but it was necessary. Libby's Christmas ornament color changes look Very Pretty!!! I think I'd probably add an additional top stitch (2nd leg of the stitch) of the Kreinik so it stands out more. It might be fine in person, just hard for me to tell from the video. And I also agree on the color symbols to match chart, makes sense to me.

Lori, I admire your stitching, and you are an inspiration to many. I have a few questions: What does a straight stitch mean? Where do you find anchor floss?

I struggle with charts when the key is in color. My vision is bad and it always seems like they usually have several I have to use a magnifier to figure out what they are. Primrose Cottage is my problem child. Love their designs and colors but struggle with the charts.

[@christinesouthard2350]

Thank you for your video. You got lots of stitching done! All of it beautiful as always. I'll be interested is seeing if you do decide to a 3 day rotation next year. I dud try a 2 day. But it's just not for me. I want to stitch what I want for as long or short as I feel like. It's why I don't join any acrostic , bringo, etc groups. Right now I'm in a bit of a monogamous mode, but feeling that might change soon! Take care and happy stitching!

I love that you said that when you look at your stitching you are inspired. That’s brilliant. Your stitching inspires me. Thanks for explaining how you manage the Q-Snap. I can’t wait to see you in action. I’m relatively new to Flosstube. What exactly is WIPGO and where do I find it?

[@OnceUponAStitch]

Thank you so much. WIPGO is a form of Bingo. There's a flosstuber Jessie Marie Does Stuff who came up with this idea. She had a video explaining the entire procedure. It's something to get people motivated to stitch on their works in progress or possibly a new start. I'll talk a little about it in my next video. Happy stitching 💕

Hi Lori. I enjoy seeing your fantastic beautiful work. It is not the work of a novice. I started stitching again in October 2018. i love your pattern choices. Do you stitch over two on 28 ct. ?
