Your H&E stitched piece A Place of Her Own is magnificent!!! and it’s on 18CT Aida (I love 14, 16 and 18 ct) it is truly a Masterpiece of Love👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥂🙋🏻🌹

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you!

Every one of your projects is beautiful. A place of her own , wow, a masterpiece. Can’t wait for updates. Happy stitching!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you! Happy stitching 💜

[@kathynaugle2661]

Wowsers! I am SO glad your video popped up on KZbin. Your stitching is AH-MAZING! I like that you stitching on a variety of pieces from Mill Hill kits to the huge Heaven and Earth Designs pieces. And from one organized person to another, I love how organized you are. I don't think I could ever manage a huge full coverage but I surely did enjoy seeing yours! I had no idea they could be that big and gosh, you are almost done with one - which was stunning (the design and the stitching). Looking forward to your next video.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Aww 🥰 thank you so much! I love hearing about plans and organization so I try to include them when I have them. Happy stitching 💜

[@traceydelcamp]

First time watcher here and new subscriber! Love all your projects and especially a place of her own. Stunning piece! Your videos are very calming!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Aww thank you so much 🥰 I love hearing about other people's plans on flosstube so I like to include them. Happy stitching!

[@lindaducharme4923]

[@idlamerica3354]

KZbin suggested your channel and I'm so happy they did. Your stitching is beautiful but I'm not sure how leisurely it is 😂. Great video Lidia. 🎉🎉 Patricia

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

😂 True! My stitching has definitely evolved over the years! Thank you for watching and happy stitching 💜

[@Liliane-C]

I'm in owe of 'A Place of her Own", it is absolutely gorgeous! Great new charts you have as well. Looking forward to seeing your progress on all of them.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you so much! Happy stitching 💜

[@soniasundberg2940]

I like your long sea themed piece. Like your logic in how you laid it out. Oh my goodness your HAED is stunning 😍.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you!

[@belindamurnane4973]

Love how organised you are in your stitching…. So unlike me! Enjoying watching your progress, thank you for sharing

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you! I want to make sure all of my projects make good progress so I try to stay organized!

[@jenniferoldfield5894]

i am super impressed with your projects - love watching your progress and definitely motivates me to keep stitching.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you 😊

[@Ninagsing67]

A Place if Her Own is huge. Beautiful. Definitely a masterpiece. Just encouraged me to finish the Charles Wysocki I started stitching in 1996. It's about 75 percent done.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Good luck as you work towards a finish!

[@Jan-SewHappy]

You do beautiful work! I can’t imagine doing all that!! Wow!!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you so much!

[@highwaystitchercoletteking5633]

Hi Lidia! It’s always fun to see you again and the progress you have made on your pieces. Can you believe it’s almost time for another Stitch-Con and you are almost finished with A Place Of Your Own! Amazing! We need to have a video chat when you are down to your last few stitches. Kim, Brenda and I could do a countdown! 10,9,8,7,6….. 😂 Hugs! 🤗💕

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Aww that would be so great! I'm sorry I'm going to miss seeing you at stitch con this year! It's so nice knowing I have you cheering me on! Happy stitching 💜

[@RandomStitcher]

Beautiful finishes, I love all your projects 😍

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you! Happy stitching 💜

[@jonij794]

The detail in the Haeds you are stitching is amazing. I so appreciate their beauty (and your stitching) but know I simply don’t have the patience to stitch them. Thanks for sharing your thought process in selecting a new stitch and in how you decided to order the piece with assorted creatures of the sea. I find it fascinating how different details strike different people and I learn how to better articulate why I’m drawn to some patterns but not others. Hope your needles speed along and you reach your lofty stitching goals and, if you don’t that you have lots of fun trying.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

The full coverage are definitely a time commitment! Thank you for the well wishes. Happy stitching to you 💜

[@krystinatremblay826]

Your stitching is so beautiful! The Christmas scene, wow, A Place of her Own is a dream, makes me want to do it! Grate work 😊

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you so much!

[@kathleensharin9947]

Your work is fabulous. I am in awe of your talent. I get excited when I complete an ornament. I know the idea is to just do what you get pleasure from. I do get pleasure but I know I would love to have the talent and patience that I see from the stitchers on line

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you! It's definitely a big time commitment so I don't start new ones lightly. Enjoy your stitching!

[@mylissahq4602]

Loving all your progress! Like you I take a long while before I commit to buying a pattern. There is so much beautiful artwork out there but I need to know I’ll love it over a long period of time. Both while stitching and then living in my home forever more ☺️ I recently took the plunge and bought my first haed, it has 288900 stitches! Prior to that my biggest was 44000, now it’s finished the haed has taken its place.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Congratulations on starting your first HAED. I hope you are enjoying it! Happy stitching 💜

[@patsyowens7365]

What an amazing stitches you do awesome work!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you so much!

[@lindapearson3340]

I love your Heaven & Earth Design called A Place of her Own. It is so beautiful. Can not wait for you to start on the lady outside with that Owl. I love Owls and she looks like she is in the forest to me. I have old eyes so I could never stitch a full coverage so I am going to enjoy watching you stitch on yours. You put in a lot of stitches per month. I am trying to put in 200 stitches a day per project for my Maynia. I started my first SAL and it is called Sweet Summer by Tiny Modernist and I got the first series already and I have not even finished the border yet but I am enjoying it but I don't think I can keep up with it. I am just going to take my time. Your finishes are awesome. Happy Stitching.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Take your time! It's all about the enjoyment and taking it one stitch at a time. Happy stitching 💜

[@janicem.1100]

WOW!!! Your projects are amazing!!! LOVE a Place of her Own!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you 😊

[@debra5483]

Wonderful work!! The colors are fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you!

[@dmscraftyvortex]

Wow you are doing such a great job! I have not forgotten about you. I just have not been in my sewing room in months!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

I've missed you! I hope you are able to carve out some stitching time soon!

[@jeannettesmith501]

Amaxed at your accomplishments! I don't stitch full coverage but love seeing all your projects. I am focusing on houses for Maynia and have 6 projects WIPS with houses. Happy stitching!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

I love hearing about other people's plans! Happy stitching to you too 💜

[@Linda-Lovestostitch]

Your finishes look so beautiful. I love your A-Place Of Her Own. I have started it but I am still in the curtains. You have beautiful pieces.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

I was in the curtains for a long time- years! I love hearing that others are enjoying it too. Happy stitching 💜

[@JanetDoucette]

You know I love to see your progress on A Place of Her Own!!! I have 41,000 stitches in on Once Upon a Fairytale Max Colors... 10%... I don't stitch on it every month... I have a spreadsheet to track my stitches as well... it's been great to see you in Grace Notes events!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Oh! We have such similar tastes! I'm scared of doing a max color- good on you for getting to 10% that's a huge milestone! Happy stitching 💜

[@Jasmine-ur1sl]

Beautiful projects. I can't wait to see you finish on "A Place of Her Own!"

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you! Happy stitching 💜

[@karendavis-macon9658]

OK Lydia....this is for that secret smile because I usually don't leave a comment....there are soooo many great videos out there. Now, I have to add you to my list!! You are one SUPER stitcher on your full coverage and non full coverage pieces!! Can't wait to see more beautiful progress. HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2024!!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Aww 🥰 thank you so much! You did make my day! Happy stitching to you too 💜

[@loriholmes8705]

Hello Lidia. I just found you on flosstube. I enjoyed seeing all your projects and your amazing progress on Victorian Christmas Eve and A Place of Her Own. Im looking forward to following your stitchy journey. Happy stitching!

Love your finishes! I was hoping you would start the skating one. So close and so exciting on A Place of Her Own!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Sounds like I picked the right one then 😉 Happy stitching 💜

[@magnolianana1552]

Hi, Lidia! Your projects are lovely and your new stash quite exciting! I look forward to seeing your finish on a Place of Her Own! Your work on it is amazing!! Enjoy all your May stitching!🧵💙🪡

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you 😊 Happy stitching 💜

[@janniestanley]

A Place of Her Own! WOW! That is gorgeous and such a huge commitment! Are you going to have that framed? 1st time viewer here. Your FFOs and all your stitching really are lovely. But that “A Place of Her Own” is incredible! You are a patient woman. Congrats on 95%.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you! Yes, I'm planning on having it framed. Luckily I've had all the time I've spent working on it to save up!😅 Happy stitching 💜

[@janniestanley]

That’s for sure, but it would be a shame to not totally have that one finished. I hope you’ll show us once it’s on the wall too. Be hard for you to show us that one in its framed entirety cuz it will be heavy and hard to wrangle. I’ve only seen one other piece that intricate and it was not that big.

[@mannmom1]

I loved it when you said you like to think about your projects for a long time before you start. I do that!! So much to mull over and ideas running laps in my brain! I feel reassured knowing I’m not the only one. Also, I’m really curious about your gridding and I’d love to know how you’re doing it, because gridding is something I struggle with. Your pieces are stunning

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

For gridding, I use jewelry beading wire/thread. Horizontally I go over 8 stitches and under 2 stitches. When going under the two stitches there's one hole in the middle. This is the end of stitch 10 and the start of stitch 1 in a 10x10 block. Vertically, my horizontal thread is the bottom of stitch 10/top of stitch 1 in a block. Hope that makes sense!

[@beverleygardam151]

A place of her own ,is just stunning ,what a lot of work you have put into this ,gorgeous.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you so much 😀

[@campingstitcherkaren1598]

Hi there, just found your channel. A piece of her own is just gorgeous. I met you at Stitch New England retreat last year and got to see it Ian person - wow! Can’t wait to see it finished this year ! Looking forward to seeing the log cabin one !

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

I'm really looking forward to the retreat! Happy stitching 💜

[@CindyMJ1986]

Beautiful work!!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you!

[@deborahsimmons8406]

You are amazing! I love A Place of Her Own. It's so beautiful! The full coverage patterns you picked are wonderful. Especially the lady standing at the door, the fairy tale one.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Aww 🥰 thank you! I think the lady at the door might be my favorite of those three!

[@NDQuilter1]

Beautiful stitching.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

[@sweetstitchesbylaur2433]

So close to finish a place on her own. So beautiful! You stitched a lot this year. And your finishes are beautiful. Happy stitching

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Happy stitching to you too 💜

[@PeaChips]

A place of her own is absolutely exquisite!! The detail in it is mind-blowing. Beautiful!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

It's really amazing how it's turning out! Happy stitching 💜

[@Milah_Renee]

Keep me in mind when you start Once Upon a Fairytale. I’ve had my eye on that chart for a long time. I’ve never stitched a full coverage so it will be my first.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Will do! I followed you on IG so I can keep in touch! Happy stitching 💜

[@debwillner5598]

I’m still so impressed with your stitching. I’m in awe! I love the library pattern you have but for me … not in a million years could I ever achieve something like that😅. Your podcasts are such a joy to watch!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you so much 😊

[@melpatton4731]

Hi hun. Really enjoyed seeing yr projects. I love full coverage so right up my street. I also have once upon a fairytale chart but not kitted up yet. Take care. Xx

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

It's a beautiful chart! Happy stitching 💜

[@stitching_geri]

Loved seeing all of your stitching today 💜

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thanks for watching!

[@KathysQuiltsandStitching]

Amazing pieces! You are a stitching genius!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Aww 🥰 thank you!

[@annettetrent1105]

Hello Lidia, I am a new subscriber. I loved all of your pieces. A Place of Her Own is beautiful. When it is completed have you assigned a special place it. I like some of the H and E designs ,I just don't know where I would display them. However stitching one would be fun. Seeing yours has given me food for thought. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thanks for subscribing! I'm planning on hanging it in my living room above the TV. Once you start one, you have plenty of time to figure out where it will go! Happy stitching 💜

[@wheretheneedletakesme1048]

Hi there, Once upon a fairytale is stunning. I remember you stitching on Coral City a long while ago. Personally I'd build on the 15000 stitches. It's so exciting to have all this to look forward to! I'm working to finish an Artecy (Dear Alice) by end of October. I'm at 71% but the pull to start all the other lovely things is hard to resist!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Wow! Thanks for sticking with me for so long! I might have been roped into starting another full coverage for a stitch along 😂 Good luck working towards your finish!

[@renabritnell5497]

First time viewer, glad you showed up in my feed. Subscribed so I can follow your progress. Your gentle voice is soothing and pleasant. A Place of Her Own is amazing! I would love to follow along on the Fairy Tale if you do a New Year's start on it. I'm going to watch for a sale on the pattern.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you! I'm sure there will be a sale between now and then! I look forward to it!

[@sharonanthony6925]

You are amazing!

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Aww 🥰 thank you!

[@heden1460]

I'm impressed with all the huge patterns you're stitching. My biggest full coverage is In Her Garden from Dimensions Gold. I I also have Raven Queen, which isn't full coverage, but Japanese Garden is. I have a bunch of smalls to work on when I get burnt out from working on the harder ones. Your finish looks nice.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Honestly, I think Dimensions Gold are harder than full coverage with all their different number of threads and blends! Happy stitching 💜

[@heden1460]

It does get confusing to remember if it's a full-cross, half-cross, or two three and four threads.

[@officialmermaidscove1376]

I love your finishes! They are so cute and they look amazing how you framed them! I've been considering doing Christmas in July stitching myself. I have a Grinch pattern I'm stitching for my husband that I've had waiting of to the side ever since I started it. 😮 Your HAED looks incredible! I have had one in my stash that I've wanted to start but I'm trying to finish some of my other full coverage designs first.

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

I like Christmas in July stitching because it helps get those pieces more attention. Good luck on your full coverage pieces!

[@peachesc8700]

Beautiful stit8

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you!

[@stampincass]

A place of her own is just fantastic, truly stunning! What count is it on? And 1 or 2 strands? Over 2? Over 2?

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

Thank you! It's on 18ct Aida, 2 strands over 1
