CONGRATULATIONS to the winner of Big Ears! The mouse is very cute and you'll love it. Nicola, thank you for the inspiring video course this week and the red sampler chart. Our fur babies mean the world to us. I hope your babies live very long lives too as they are very special.

Completely understand about not being noisy people. I’ve been asked before “I bet your house is quiet?”

Many thanks for the beautiful red sampler chart. It will be another one to add to my red sampler collection from the two Red Boxes that I have purchased from you and love. The red sampler that you are currently working on is beautiful and will be another must have for my red sampler wall in the future. Also , thank you so much for the stitch tutorials that help me review stitches that I haven't done in a while. The feather stitch was one that I learned back in high school and that has surely been a bit ago. Hope you enjoy your trip to Country Sampler with your stitching friends. If Melissa is there, please tell her hello for me. Safe travels and Happy Stitching! Dottie

Congratulations to the winners. May your future stiching bring you joy with your winnings. Thank you for the chart. What fun it is.. KZbin just can't keep up with all the channels I am subscribe to so started later. Anyhoo found some colors, some linen remnants in my stash, some needles and played catch up. Just got the feather stitch done. Thank you for the tutorial it helps because you talk us through it while you do it, being vision impaired since birth it helps very much. My great grandmother taught me to embroider and cross which when I was barely 7 and to hand see too. That is long ago. But it is good to review and repeat learning. The stitch area is about 13" to the end of the naught. So tiny stitches but I do better with tiny, always have. Which is fine by me it will eventually be hung behind my American Girl Historical Girls display.

Nicola, you have no idea how long I had hoped for Needle Needs to manufacture a tablet holder. I was ecstatic to see it introduced on your last episode. I recently purchased it based off your assembly and demonstration video from last week. Although it just occurred to me that maybe I should have waited for your review first. Haha. That said, my experience with Needle Needs products is similar to your experiences; I love their products. I wish the USD conversion rates were better, the delivery times were quicker and international shipping rates were less expensive but the product and customer service are top notch so it’s acceptable for me. I’m going to save your video from last week so I can use it to reference when I need to assemble my tablet holder. Your assembly video for the Necessaire floor stand and how to load fabric on the millennium frame were extremely helpful too. Thank you! As always beautiful stitches.

Always such a pleasure, Nicola. I love seeing your videos because you come across in them much as you have in the in-person chances I have had to meet you. Makes me look forward to the next chance even more.

Thank you again for this video/tutorial en the red sampler gift🙏 I have printed it for future stitching, it is lovely. I always watch your videos from beginning to end once before I watch it again to actually start my stitching for the week on the ABC sampler, looking forward to trying my hand at the stitches of this week, they are new to me. And I know what you mean about our furry family members. Our dog turned 13 two weeks ago and we are dreading the moment he will no longer be with us. Recently I read somewhere that dogs (or any pet) are so special because they never break our hearts..... until they leave us. Isn't that just the truth.

Thank you Nicola for the beautiful red sampler gift. Your flosstube was wonderful as usual. I can relate to home construction while living in it. We did that for many years. I too have always wanted to go to Country Sampler. Its such a beautiful website. Enjoy with your friends. Happy stitching Scarlett

Thank you so much for the sampler gift! Your weekend flosstubes always brighten my day as well. Congratulations to the winner of the scissor holder, and what was funny was when you held that page up I actually saw my name just a few lines above! Hope you have a lovely time back on our side of the ocean, and a pleasant trip.

I do hope your sweet furkid lives fur ever. It's such a blessing to have four-legged kids to brighten our lives. A beautiful video, I am learning so much, and I am so encouraged to try this new stitch out. Thank you, thank you. Blessings, and much love to you and yours❤❤

My Cohana…both green and blue are still about the same color as when they arrived. They have only been exposed to indirect light. Yours are lighter than mine. Still love them but we know from past releases that the actual colors are always a bit of a surprise…😂

The would be the same answer for me. Mine have been sitting on my desk but not in direct sunlight.

Oh, my! Philomena's sampler is beautiful; I look forward to watching your progress with this piece!! Congratulations to Melanie Wood on winning the lovely "Big Ears" scissor holder. Many thanks for the M.S. Geristein sampler design that you will be sending to all of the contest entrants!!! 💖 You made me smile when you mentioned the Jessica stitch, as that is the stitch that I mentioned in my email. I have since been searching for tutorials on that stitch. I think I'm making progress with the round and square versions, but the oval version of the Jessica still eludes me. I'd love to see a tutorial on that version if you ever have the time and inclination to make one. In the meantime, I hope you have a safe and wonderful trip to the US and that you enjoy your visit to Country Sampler!

Hi Nicola - I also purchased the blue scissors from Cohana. They are lovely but not the color shown on their website. Perhaps that have lightened a bit - but not much. Like you- I still like them but they’re not the color shown.

Yay! Can hardly wait for that gorgeous red sampler pattern. I am gunshy to purchase cohana (?) scissors. Someone told me they are prone to tarnishing? I *do* live in Colorado where it's semi-arid so IDK. 🤨

@nicolaparkman 3 ай бұрын

I live in a very damp climate as we are next to the Cornish Sea and have lots of sea mists. So far my Cohanas have not tarnished.
