Hi Carolyn! Snuggle is looking so cute! Thanks for sharing your beautiful WIPs! I hope you have started having more energy! Happy Stitching!

[@lilylewis760]

I hope you feel back to your old self soon. I am also stitching one nation and after struggling through the stars I have put it aside but Im going to pick up your idea and stitch on it on Federal holidays. That kitten face is adorable. Love all your projects.

[@czookstitch488]

Those stars are NO JOKE! Very monotonous too!

[@joyd5000]

Such lovely stitching. Really enjoyed it!

[@pattysmith9266]

Ohhhh now I have to stitch that kitten too. So many patterns not enough time ROFL Happy Stitching Patty

[@czookstitch488]

The kitten stitch is just soooo darling! I just smile so much while stitching it!

Hi Carolyn. Thank you for filming x3!😂 I love how you celebrate March with your birthday WIPs. The daisy one is beautiful. I love Herschel and Lucy too. ⚘️

[@czookstitch488]

Ha ha! Thank you my friend! Please join us for Herschel and Lucy SAL in April!

Thank you! 😊

I’ve started my snuggle is real but started in the middle (the fuzzy slipper part). The kitty face is so cute - can’t wait to get to it! I’ve debated doing a hawk run hallow but always get scared off by the size. Thanks for the discussion about these.

[@amymmakes]

Newer subscriber here, from PA. Found you from searching for magazine flip throughs, yours have been super helpful. Love all your videos! And beautiful stitching!

[@czookstitch488]

So glad you're here - thank you for stopping by!

[@teresaboyer284]

Carolyn, how long has it been since you had a physical with blood work from your doctor? This fatigue you are feeling might be due to you being a little bit anemic, which happens to us ladies all the time. It might be worth scheduling a physical just to take care of you! You are very important to all of us! ❤

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you my friend! I do have bloodwork scheduled for this week in fact!

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you! I'll let my doctor know to test for thyroid levels as well!

[@joyceclowser3371]

You are too funny!! I was really chuckling when you cam back twice! LOL I’m glad you are getting checked out at the doc’s. I really hope it is nothing serious. I need to get busy on the two sals I’m stitching with you! Happy stitching! Hugs.❤

[@suelambert5760]

I grew up in NE also. I am a NE Cornhusker! I lived in Sidney, Chadron, and Omaha. That cross stitch reminds me of NE also. Have you been to the Dr.? I have been having the exhaustion too and my Dr. has been doing lots of blood tests and retests. We think we have it nailed down to a couple of things and I’m hoping to be feeling better in a month or two. Being tired all the time is not fun especially when you have a lot to do. Hope you’re feeling better soon💕

[@sharonbeck-hl7cf]

Take care dear friend. Great stitching!

[@lindaholland683]

I started Hummingbird Garden. Thinking about doing each motif as a pillow.

[@czookstitch488]

That is a great idea!!

[@HilltopStitching]

Amazing telling about the Hawk Run Hallows… I have just put every single one of them on my wish list at 123Stitch. It will take me a bit purchasing them all and the fabrics. But I’m so excited about stitching them. Thank you so much❤!!!

[@czookstitch488]

Yay! So glad it was helpful. One of the things I wish I knew before starting: two of them (Autumn and Spring) are long and narrow. I'm personally having trouble deciding how I want to FFO it. I think I would have preferred rearranging the blocks into more of a rectangle like the others ones are (3 across by 4 down or vice versa). But if you like it the way it's printed, that's good too, just something to think about before diving into such a big piece!

[@HilltopStitching]

@@czookstitch488 I will keep that in mind. I really don’t like 40ct as I have trouble seeing. I don’t want to make them any bigger than they are. Do you have any recommendations?

[@czookstitch488]

@@HilltopStitching I am doing mine on 32 ct. You could do 18 ct aida which would be equivalent to 36ct linen or if you can find a 20 ct aida that you like that would work too and be equivalent to the 40ct. But yeah, they are big. Something else I've seen people do is just select their favorite boxes and only stitch those - so it may be 6 boxes you're stitching instead of 12 (but I could never decide which was my favorite so I just stitch them all lol!).

[@joannebedford8571]

Your projects are beautiful. Hope you find out whats going on and can start to feel better xx

[@goldenstitcher]

Carolyn, please take care of yourself. Do not ignore the exhaustion-get it checked out if it persists. ❤Susan

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you so much my sweet friend. I appreciate the reminder more than you know.

[@sunrise49738]

Hi dearest Carolyn! So very close to a finish on your band sampler. I hope you are feeling less fatigued this week so that you can stitch your usual amount. I am so sick of being tired and sick. Have a video appointment with my doctor today so hopefully will find out what is going on. Probably laryngotracheobronchitis again but kind of puzzling because things keep changing colors. You should count all your bowls and pillows for the Bitty Bowl Club. Your kitten is turning out so cute. An idea to get another day in on your montages is to work on them for 2 days at each change of season, i.e. if the season changes on a Tuesday, stitch on the montage on Monday and Tuesday or Tuesday and Wednesday plus your regular Sunday stitch. You made a lot of nice progress on your WIPs considering that you were not feeling well. Does Hummingbird Garden count toward your birthday SAL? If so, I think I will join you on the 18th. There definitely is an online conversion from Sullivans to DMC as I am using both brands in mine. You have been such an enabler on this video. Love you though! Hugs and kisses to you and the boys. Happy stitching. Dawn

[@czookstitch488]

Hello my sweet friend! I do hope the doctor had some news for you. It's so frustrating to not know. Love your idea to get in more time on the Montages - I do think next year I'm going to add in a 3-4 day rotation each month, on top of Seasonal Sunday to help move it along. And yes, definitely count the Hummingbird Garden as a "floral" for my birthday sal! I'm so excited you'll be doing it! Sending you so much love in Texas!!!

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Hello Carolyn: I am so happy you are feeling better, lovely progress on all your stitching, you choose some amazing designs to stitch, I am so in love with the Patriotic designs. Congratulations on the sweet win from StitchinMommy, it is an adorable design. I would love to do the Snuggle SAL but gave up stitching for Lent, will have to stitch Snuggle after Easter Sunday. Thank-you for a fun video, congratulations to the winners including me, yahoo. Have a great week.

[@czookstitch488]

Yes, please join us after Easter! I know I will still be working on it then! Congrats on your win - saw your email.

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

Hi Carolyn Love all of your WIPS - you are making great progress on them. You amaze me with all of your stitching projects that you work on. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️

[@lynncordova8169]

The kitty is so adorable. Your Winter Montage looks so good. I really like the richness of color 2 stands of floss gives.

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you! I do love 2 strands and the effect it gives!

[@gaylezook4718]

When you were talking about the 1544 Band Sampler, you mentioned the floss color as being Chester Blue. Did you know that your great grandfathers name was Chester Zook? He died at a young age, even before I was born so I never knew him.

[@czookstitch488]

I knew someone in our family was Chester but wasn't sure who! Did you know if I was born a boy I would have been a "Chester"? Thank goodness! :D

[@the614stitcher]

Great explanation of where to start the Carolyn Manning. I might need to jump on the bandwagon. Sorry I missed the call yesterday 😢. House of a Needleworker will be a finish for sure this year. Loving your birthday month plans so far.

[@czookstitch488]

Yes please do join us, my friend! Would love it (there should be a Sullivans to DMC conversion on line if you don't want to buy the Sullivans).

[@pennyjanelove9889]

This is my 1st time watching your channel, I really enjoyed it! In my personal opinion, you don't need to put anything in the H. It looks great with the changes you made.

[@czookstitch488]

Thanks so much for being here! And thanks for your input - I appreciate it - I keep going back and forth on whether that H needs anything.

[@carlahaskell2178]

Great video as usual. I always look forward to Saturdays and your video. Sound like a busy March!!

Thank you so much my sweet friend!

[@mihaela.929]

I enjoy so much the explanations for a certain subject in each video. I may not be a Hawk Run fan , but it is always nice to learn about smtg stiching related. The Blue Rhapsody, the daisies and JBW's letters are going to be such a spring delight, somehow they all match to me. Happy stitching!

Oh wow! I hope you have recovered! I took 3 Covid at home tests and all were negative. I hope you feel better soon!

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

I love your Home of a Needleworker so much, the kitty cats you added to it are so cute. And speaking of kitty cats, your Snuggle piece is so cute - the kitty cat looks so real. I hope you have a wonderful week and hope the exhaustion goes away and that you are feeling completely better soon.

[@lindapearson3340]

Thank you so much for explaining on how to start the Hummingbird Garden. I understood what you said. I also signed up for the subscription for Just CrossStitch Magazine so now all I have to do is to go and get the materials for this project. Love on how you organize all your projects. I am going to take one of my projects and do the 25/7 just like you do. On all my other projects I try and do 100 stitches a day. Hope you get your energy back. Happy Stitching.

Great video! I loved seeing all those Hawk Run Hallows. I am kitting up Map of HR and looking forward to a summer start on that. Your montages are beautiful. When I was teaching, I always crashed at the end of February/early March. The exhaustion of teaching is real even if you love your work. Have fun on your upcoming trip! Enjoy the down time.

[@czookstitch488]

Thank you for the confirmation that being exhausted this time of year is normal! I appreciate it!

Carolyn on the Hummingbird SAL are you going to use 1 thread or 2 threads over 2? I ordered the Sullivan threads and kit as well….. Excited to start this, I’ve never stitched on 28 ct. before. I’m an Aida stitcher. Thank you for reviewing how you’re going to start in the upper left corner!

I am using 2 threads expect for the backstitch where I'll only use one. I hope you enjoy!
