I'd love to stitch Christmas RULES. Have a wonderful Christmas and great New Year

[@cakesandstitches]

Congratulations on being able to leave your job and focus on the shop - you must be so proud and excited! Christmas rules looks fabulous - I'd love a chance to stitch it too.

[@adelecottam8106]

Congrats on finishing Christmas Rules , think breaking it down like you did is a great way to get a finish 🎉

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

So motivating to have someone you’re keeping up with too!

[@lindamcivor8486]

Congrats on finishing Christmas Rules, it looks fab. I am so tempted by Silent Night, it is so beautiful. Looking forward to seeing your wip parade.

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you Sarah! Really looking forward to getting all the projects out 😇 all 80… or so…

[@janestyles4024]

Many congratulations on finishing Christmas Rules.

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you!

[@leannedyson1816]

You have done amazing at getting Christmas rules finished can’t wait to see how you display it xxx

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you Leanne, I have lots of thoughts and not enough time 😂

[@lisaproefrock]

Congrats on finishing Christmas Rules. I have it on my WIPGO board for next year. The gingerbread fabric is adorable.

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you so much! Are you aiming for a finish on it too? I was lucky enough to find it for free on a destash table at a retreat, couldn’t believe someone was giving it away but I think I found the perfect pattern to use on it 🍪

[@AliM-yv6bh]

🎉 you finished Christmas Rules, well done. In good company, we’re all madly stitching for the season. Ouch, arthritis is kicking my butt lol 😂 Merry Christmas x Ali M

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Oooh dear, the cold doesn’t help does it?! I’m ready to invest in some fingerless gloves to get me through 🥶

[@mavisgreaves2419]

Great Video, great to see you have finished Christmas Rules. A very happy Christmas to you and Yours and a fab new year....

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you so much, a very merry Christmas to you too 🎄

[@theresacardy4084]

I'm on the east coast of Canada, and we also have Terry's chocolate oranges in the stores at Christmas. My husband loves them. Congratulations on finishing Christmas Rules it looks great 😊

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thanks for sharing! It’s not Christmas without them - a small cube wrapped up under the tree is always a dead giveaway, it’s always a chocolate orange 🍊

[@RosieXstitches]

Yay! You smashed Christmas Rules 🎉 I love that you will be stitching Christmas all year round! Spreading the festive cheer! Seeing your Owl Forest Dinosaur Forest piece has made me want to dig mine out as I have the threads and pattern somewhere! 😅 might add that to my list of to start in 2025! ❤️🌹

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Oooh yes! It makes a big difference having it in Cross Stitch Saga for sure 🥰

[@elephantstitcher]

Love your Christmas Rules finish! xx

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Yay, thank you!

[@GemXStitch]

Well done on finishing Christmas Rules! It’s looks great. Something id love to stitch myself x

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you! I’m really looking forward to passing it on to another stitcher 💜

[@lornabuffey8896]

Love the Christmas Rules what a lovely job you’ve made of it, also love the tiny town, I’ve just got the frosty one from you and now I’m convinced I’m going to neeeeed the Christmas one! 😂 we stitchers are definitely part pack rat 😂

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

We definitely are! Some of us open a shop in order to stash even more goodies 🤪😂 Frosty Tiny Town is my next start once I finish Christmas I think, it’s so cute!

[@ajborthwick7239]

Nice to see your finish of Christmas rules!!

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you!

[@rosamoulton9775]

Great to see you again Christmas Rules is beautiful congratulations on your finish x

[@judithlimbrick3639]

Hi Rosa, I too have just posted a comment and I noticed that your Christmas Rules entry was spelt incorrectly you might want to edit it!!! 😉

[@rosamoulton9775]

@ thank you x

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@judithlimbrick3639]

Well done on your Christmas Rules finish it looks so good! I love the Silent night chart too I think that might well be a on my Christmas stitch list too!!

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Isn’t it beautiful!! Lauren just keeps outdoing herself

[@suecraig634]

Just discovered your channel. Loved the Christmas rules when finished x

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Welcome!! Thank you so much x

[@twelvebooksaday8640]

Love your Christmas rules finish, can’t wait to see it as an ffo!

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

One day, hopefully soon 🤞🏻

[@Taylormadestitching]

Ah well done on finishing Christmas Rules, you did it! It looks fabulous too 🥰 (I’m not entering btw, I have it in my advent calendar but just wanted to say well done)!

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you so much. I did it! And so chuffed with myself 💜

[@thismrsfisher_stitches]

Christmas rules is a lovely piece well done on pushing through to the finish. I'm working monogomously at the moment for a Christmas gift and gosh is it beginning to make me grumble and lose the festive spirit. Lovely video, thank you

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you! I definitely find that giving myself no space to swap projects makes me grumpy and not want to stitch at all. Explains my huge pile of WIPS 😅

[@thismrsfisher_stitches]

@TalkingDogStitcher me too!!

[@rampantrae-sq4hy]

I can understand the overlocker love ❤ they are so useful. You should have standard Talking Dog Stitchery overlocker thread colours so people can easily identify where they got their fabric from. Like Zweigart and the orange selvedge thread, just a bit more niche 😊

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

I love that idea! I’ve loaded it up with purple and blue which is pretty much my “brand” colours so they’ll probably need to stick around! I love the thought someone could look at their stash and know their fabric came from me 💜

[@susanleslie4150]

Rules!

[@cardiffstitcherdanielle]

You could start the Halloween cushions on Friday 13th 😂 Loving your pieces, well done on finishing the Christmas Rules SAL it looks fab. Animal Panorama is looking really good ❤ I'll have to have a look at the premade cookie doughs, I love baking but not having to measure and mix it all

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

I have the Halloween pillow started 🤪 it definitely needs to come out this Friday 13th though! Thank you for the reminder!

[@justsewsherrie]

I loved doing Christmas rules with you. Really motivated me but the same as you, Christmas tiny town house a month is way more liberating for 2025 😂😂😂

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

It was brilliant- am very excited for tiny sections now though 🤣

[@evelynburrola3574]

Look forward to your sip parade. Nobody likes Rules, however it keeps us on our toes, Lol.

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you 💜

[@sprucedupstitching]

Congrats in finishing Christmas Rules and now I thi k I am off to etsy to find both the flossabilities chart and the Emma Congdon piece

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy them 💜

[@AlwaysBeYourself-6]

Christmas RULES is stunning. Love the colors. How much fabric did u use ? Happy stitching 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄✂️🧵🪡❤️

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

It fit into a fat quarter of 32ct, and I think I could squeeze another one onto the same piece! Thank you so much x

[@sophsewph]

Your Chatelaine Rules, congrats on nor dropping it this time.. Haha! Also, Overlocker is perfectly acceptable for personal use... Although I would say anything you show on FT is business related too ;)

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

Hahah thank you, turns out the trick is to not try and point to anything 🤣 I’m taking that and running with it - what else do I need as a “business expense”? 🤔😂

[@MrsBroomeMakes]

The rules are meant to be broken lol 😂 but I do love the Christmas rules chart

[@TalkingDogStitcher]

😂 I totally agree

[@adelecottam8106]

Congrats on finishing Christmas Rules , think breaking it down like you did is a great way to get a finish 🎉
