[@stitchingincostume]

So many beautiful WIPS!! I think I need to scrub through again and take notes. I LOVE the Scarlet Letter Scottish sampler. I may have to schoom over and get that one. Happy stitching Nicky... It's always nice to see you!🦘🦘🦘

[@rwords3056]

Ragamuffin 2 is amazing! What lovely work you do. Enjoyed your WIP parade.

[@phylliswomack2849]

What a delight seeing all of your beautiful WIP’s. You have a quite interesting variety of patterns and even more interesting variety of floss, both cotton and silks. I would be at a loss trying to decide which one to work on next, but what a pleasant dilemma to have. Thank you so much for sharing all of this!

[@LaladeeStitches]

Your stitching is lovely! Thank you for sharing. I loved watching, and have some new pieces in my wishlist after seeing yours. Happy stitching to you!

[@hannamansfield2894]

Hello Nicky....LOVE all of your samplers. I also like that you have lots of starts and not finishes...lol. Makes me not feel so bad...lol. Thanks so much for sharing. Beautiful stitching

[@yvonnerichardson8860]

Lovely w ips bickie just love it all ❤❤

[@triciabenich]

Really enjoyed wip parade, Nicky. Glad you had 31 wips. Wish you had 31 more. (I have 33. I feel like telling your wip number is cross stitch confessional.) I am from Michigan, have lived in Illinois for 32 years, and we say neesh, not nitch. Thanks for sharing, xx, Tricia

[@annproudley8526]

I really enjoyed your WIPs. Now several of your samplers have been added to my list to stitch. Especially the Shakespeare’s Peddler Quaker sampler

[@patburton837]

Your stitching is beautiful. It’s amazing that you can work on many wips. I can only work on one at a time. Enjoyed your video. Thanks!

[@sandrafromsydney8192]

Please come back and keep recording, you are missed very much! Just re-watched this video and enjoyed seeing your beautiful WIPs again. Hope to see you soon 😊 Happy stitching.

[@andrea7986]

Just love watching your videos. Umm, that Scarlet Letter chart you got on the freebie table at the retreat, yes. You snatched out of my hands. Just kidding lovey. But it is a gorgeous chart. ♥️

[@raspberry_stitcher]

I’ve loved spending some stitchy time with you seeing all your WIPs!!! I’ll just say, that, yes, you should try the Turkey Work!!! I ended up doing it and I’ll say it was challenging at first but the end result was totally worth it!! I did stitch this in a hoop and at the time I didn’t have a stand to hold the hoop 😅😅😅 I used 2 different KZbin tutorials to help me. I stitched on 45 ct and used Soie d’Alger silks. And I think for the Turkey work I used 2 strands to make the plush look. Enjoy!!! 💜💜💜💜

[@nickynoodlesstitching7368]

Oooh thanks for the tips Barbara. I am determined to give it a go. I'll be sure to check out KZbin first for some hot tips. Take care and happy stitching. N xxx

[@danaadams4607]

Lovely wips.

[@susanhoughton1104]

The Scottish sample would look good framed next to hand across the sea piece. Thanks for wip parade!

[@nickynoodlesstitching7368]

It sure would. Thanks for watching. N x

[@karendavis-macon9658]

What a wonderful array of WIPS you have chosen! I had a few in there saying I got that...why don't you start it!! Why...b\ c I got a sh$t ton of WIPS already!! 😀😉. Love your videos, but I don't always comment...Will have to work on that one this year!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2023!!

[@katebrown3291]

Great video Nicki, thank you. I enjoy our memories of the Hunter Valley retreat. Again, thank you for organising that. I’m disappointed I can’t make it in 2023 due to the date change. I have work commitments until October and it’s impossible to travel that distance at that time. Hopefully I will be there the following year!

[@wandamccoll3739]

What a fabulous WIP parade Nicky!!! You have some amazing projects in the works!! Thanks as always and happy stitching!

[@suzilou02]

Loved seeing all your WIPS Nicky, you are amazing with all you achieve! Thank you for the mention and your Ellen Norris is looking just as beautiful, I am inspired to get mine framed now, can't wait to see yours up on the wall as well. 💖💕

[@loribarksdale6547]

Thanks Nicky - love your stitching! And you would love Shepherd's Bush!!! Such a charming shop - and Tina and Teri are the BEST!! Mom and I will hopefully get back over there this spring sometime - we don't have an LNS here anywhere, unfortunately.......... Sheri, at Colorado Cross Stitcher, is probably the closest, and you "can't get there from here" LOL. We are in Western CO. Happy stitching........

[@nickynoodlesstitching7368]

Oh wow! I would soooo love to go to both Shepherds Bush and Colorado Cross Stitcher. I really enjoy Sheri's videos. Maybe one day. Take care, Nicky xx

[@elizabethbryan9475]

Oh my goodness WOW, all that beautiful work. I loved everyone of your projects. I wish I had kept count of how many WIPS. This is the first time I have watched your floss tube, so, Hi from New Zealand😊

[@nickynoodlesstitching7368]

Hi Elizabeth, I believe there were 31 WIPS in my parade. Too many! Thanks for watching my video. By the way, I LOVE New Zealand - it is such a beautiful place. Happy stitching, Nicky x

[@elizabethbryan9475]

@@nickynoodlesstitching7368 I thought there may have been more. NZ is a lovely country, but at the moment we are experiencing terrible flooding in Auckland and (very severe in Akld). Lots of rain and flooding in parts of the North Island as well. It has been unbelievable. Looking forward to your next floss tube

[@karenlynch3556]

[@suzannedeasey3688]

Your work is beautiful! Please share how you press your cross stitch projects. I have a difficult time getting out all of the wrinkles when I press mine. Yours are so perfect! Your WIPs are so nice! You seem to be a very ambitious stitcher! Good luck with your finishes. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@nickynoodlesstitching7368]

Thanks Suzanne, I am overly ambitious. Haha. I am lovingly stitching my way through my WIPS. I use Mary Ellen's Best Press to get the wrinkles out of my stitching. I spray the back side from 50cm above the work, then iron with a hot iron. Linen can tolerate the heat. I don't use extra pressure. Just the weight of the iron, the heat and the best press gets the wrinkles out. Good luck, Nicky x

[@kankerdoodleb9149]

Oh what fun to see all your beautiful stitches, very enabling too since there were charts I'd never seen before. Happy Stitching 🪡

[@christinesouthard2350]

Thank you for your video. Loved this WIP parade. So much beautiful eye candy. And you're right, counting is hard. Mr. Frog seems to like it here and thinks he's a permanent resident. I have done more frogging this year than I have done in my entire life!🤯 I'm looking forward to seeing progress on all your lovely projects. I'm a DMC girl too, I do stitch with overdyed on bigger items when I want that variegation, but I think DMC is so lovely, and underrated. Our Joanne's craft store has started carrying Anchor in spools, which I love, and am slowly building up my stash with. I grabbed 5 blacks, because their coverage is so much better than 310! Take care and happy stitching!

[@nickynoodlesstitching7368]

Hi Christine, thanks for your lovely comments. I have not yet been able to try the Anchor spools - I'm not aware of anyone stocking them in Australia. I will certainly keep my eyes open for it. Like many, I'm eager to try the black. Happy stitching, Nicky

[@lisawhittaker5680]

Nicky I thought the 'fun bags' were in The Unicorn & Badger chart not a project bag🤣 . Maybe the fabric you are using with Ellen's chart is either Antique Lace or Silica from Nicola. Looks similar to the pieces I have. Good to see all your wips. Interesting variety of styles. See you next video. Regarding the cramping and magnesium. There is an Australian product that looks like a roll on deodorant that is a concentrated magnesium compound designed to roll over the area during a cramp. Have used it a lot on my foot & abdomen. Just another option.

[@nickynoodlesstitching7368]

Tee hee, thanks Lisa Gosh there are plenty of fun bags and meat and three veg on that chart!!! I think it might be Antique Lace from Nicola. I love that linen sooo much. Thanks for the magnesium tips. Nicky xx

Thanks so much Sarah. Hee hee hee, you're on the ball - I have decided to restart mine. I started stitching it on a green but I'm not convinced it's the right colour for the piece.
