You are the first stitcher I have seen stitching Let Love Reign! This is on my list to start this year and I have it all kitted up and ready to go. It mirrors a rug in our family room so I want to have it hanging in that room. I’m so glad I saw yours. It’s such a beautiful piece. Beautiful work!

[@sarahsstitchery]

You will love it! ❤

[@deborahcrotty8397]

Hi Sarah. Loved all the stitching today. Your dog is adorable. I don't think I could hold my 130- pound Rottweiler that way!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Probably not! 😂

[@maureenmoore4104]

Hi Sarah, I enjoyed your floss tube! Daisy is so so cute! Love your Valentine finishes. Now I have to go to Hobby Lobby to get the glitter ric rac!!!! Your new start for Tiger Lily’s Birthday is really pretty! Happy stitching!😊

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Maureen! ❤

[@lindamcivor8486]

Just discovered your floss tube today and I’m really enjoying them. Watched your WIP and now going back to your first video. Of course I have subscribed.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Linda! ❤

[@diannedolha2318]

Love seeing your lovely work. My son is fluent in French and he told me crocette is pronounced "crow set".

[@sarahsstitchery]

Good to know, thanks! ❤

[@MsKarenMR]

Happy Stitching ❤!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

You too! ❤

Another fabulous video! I always love your stitching. Yay for our new starts!!! Guess what? I just had a big finish while watching your video. Here is a hint… 💡 ❄️

[@sarahsstitchery]

Can’t wait for you to show it on your next video! ❤

[@jilllazzeri7861]

OMG you get a lot done between videos - so jealous don't know how you do it. I just hope to get one thing done in a month - but no luck. Glad dad is feeling better. have a great week and keep knocking it out of the park.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Jill! ❤️

[@irisgunn5304]

You are moving right along with your FFOs. Must be very satisfying and glad you didn't say "no" to new starts. I appreciate you listing other flosstubers. I'll check them out. I am stitching " Reaping Love" by Silver Creek Samplers and hope I can get most of it completed by Feb 14.

[@sarahsstitchery]

There is no way I can do no new starts. But I am doing much better at not starting ALL the things! 😂 I love that Reaping Love chart!

[@stacierisen8870]

Thanks for another good video. Hello to Miss Daisy. Our Lila Jo is also a lap dog... 63 pound one, but still 😅 I store my floss in stacked clear acrylic bino drawer units. Folding the floss drops into there can be a little interesting but it works wonderfully. Congrats on your finishes & progress. See you next time. ❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

Daisy says hello to Lila Jo! 👋🐾

[@charj57]

I just put my order in for My Blue Heaven! Can’t wait to stitch it

[@sarahsstitchery]

Sure thing!

[@luannk3178]

Great start on our retreat piece. I’m trying to work on WIPs, but I don’t think a retreat start is ok. It’s really pretty. I might make a start on mine.

[@sarahsstitchery]

You should! I’m absolutely loving it! ❤

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Daisy is adorable, Mikey sends her hugs, he is a Havanese dog. Love your Valentine pillows, so cute. Oh my gosh the snowman finish is adorable. So sweet the winter designs finished, love the Wips you have going. Nice up coming projects.

I’m glad your dad is doing good. I lost my dad when he was 86. He couldn’t remember much. We knew he was better off. But it was still so hard. I’m also loving your pillows. The second one was absolutely adorable. They were all so cute. Have a great week.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Lorraine! ❤

Hey, Sarah. Love the unboxing video and video #4. Hi, Daisy. You were a good representative for Black Box Needle. I will miss those videos. Great finishes as usual. I am in love with My Blue Heaven. I can't wait to see your start on the house. Keep going. I think you are doing a great job being so focused on your plan. Glad to hear dad is going well. Great job on everything. Can't wait until your next video. Happy stitching everyone!

Sarah, your finishes are beautiful. You always do such gorgeous work. I love that chart, My Blue Heaven. Do you think it will be released for others to buy at some point?

You are making fantastic progress…you have a balance of variety and focus in your stitching now. Daisy is adorable…my Lola will wear coats in the snow but will refuse to move if the hood is on the coat. Every pet has personality. God bless teachers…it is not an easy job and it is so important.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Dogs are so funny that way! My last dog refused to wear anything.

[@dianesutton9282]

So glad you are joining us for my Birthday start, it’s not far away now. Love your fabric choice ❤

You picked a beautiful chart for your birthday start! I’m so glad I get to join in on the fun! ❤

What a nice floss tube!! I need your cup!! The black one you had in this episode- can you share where you got it?

I got it on Amazon: a.co/d/0oEZxYU

[@lisaglavich4572]

Hello Sarah and Daisy, I’m so happy to see your beautiful stitching. 😍 I’m going to copy your display for needle minders. Our Christmas tree is still up in our living room, so I can really enjoy it. I also stitch in hand, but how do you handle the fabric on larger samplers. I’m working on Crocette a gogo “Winter Sampler” and Teresa Kogut “Remember Me”, I’m just rolling and wonder clipping. ??😊

[@sarahsstitchery]

Glad to hear I’m not the only one who still has their Christmas tree up! 😂 I don’t have any problems stitching large samplers in hand. I just roll it from the left and hold that in my hand while I stitch. Maybe I should show it on my next video. 🤔

[@UntwistyourStitches]

Another great video. Thanks. I have a question to you or viewers. I noticed you hung a charm on your FFO. What is the name of the type of hanger you used? I’ve been trying to locate them without any luck.

[@sarahsstitchery]

I think they’re called bulb pins or gourd pins. I got mine on Amazon.
