Always happy to see you-no matter when! Love seeing your projects and you always use such beautiful fabrics. Thank you for sharing with our community!! Hugs : )

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@kristinaciminillo9908]

I work nights and love listening to you when I get home and I'm falling asleep. Thank you!

[@marleenoceanbreeze6510]

Nice to see you again, Vicki, and all your pretty stitching. I love the fabric you're doing Raven Queen on. I've had that pattern for a long time, may do either the pink or gold conversion of it, but that won't be for a while. You've got so many lovely patterns on the go. Your new start with that little house is awfully sweet. I look forward to hearing what you've been working on in June, whenever you do your next video. But meanwhile, enjoy the summer and your travels, and whatever else you get up to. Take care, and happy stitching, Arleen.

[@marthaabstein6046]

Glad that you are back. Have a great time on your trips and I look forward to seeing your flosstube when you have time to film again. Love all of your stitching. I am so like you, stitching all over the place, from one project to another one, but I love all of the things.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@sharonhendrix3864]

I’m a huge introvert……I have to recharge and am a homebody….love love love people - total people watcher….can’t do small talk - very stressful…God makes us all different and we are All needed to make the world go round…..Enjoy your videos so much…God Bless❣️❤️❤️❤️

[@thevirginiastitcher]

True for me also.

[@nancybrindley8921]

You are the sweetest lady ever!, I love your videos!. Im with you girl, less ppl is best. I used to be the social butterfly ...thats what I was called at church, but now, I don't want to entertain a big crowd. I think all you as my "friends" . Your colors of fabric and thread are like usual very very good!. Thank you!!

[@charlotteburgess7828]

I enjoy your floss tubes with all of your wips, but I'd really enjoy seeing a finish. Enjoy your traveling this summer.

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

[@lindaholland683]

I enjoy watching your channel. I prefer to be in small groups not certain of attention. Enjoyed seeing all your wips. I am currently working on Oh Joyous Day. This is my third cross stitch project ever and completed Painted Threads and Everything Opening Flower. I found myself buying project bags, charts, floss, and Aida.. Have a blessed few weeks and enjoy your new room.

[@JackieOnyon]

Thank you for sharing! I love seeing your stitching. Hope you are able to get your home back in order and cozy soon. Hope you have a great week!

[@stitchinginhighheels9529]

I love the variety in your stitching. I enjoyed seeing everything that you worked on in May; I hope to figure out a plan for next year now that I don't have to worry about schoolwork. I'll be keeping you and your friend and their family in my thoughts. 🪡👠

[@normajeansicard4842]

[@suzanelemay5021]

Thank you for taking time out of your day to share your stitching with us. Beautiful work. 💚

[@thevirginiastitcher]

You are so welcome!

[@dianelegace4846]

So glad to see your video. Your stitching is amazing. Your personality is what keeps me coming back to enjoy your stitching. Please don't change or worry about how long you video takes. Take care and happy stitching.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@debraculpepper2396]

Hi Vicki! Boy you have been busy! I love everything you are stitching. You always choose just the right fabric to make your stitching pop! As for me, I seem to be buying and kitting more than stitching. Vicki I love watching you each time you video. Thank you so much for sharing, I do get inspired by seeing your stitching!😘 Until the next time, take care and keep on stitching!♥️

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you! You too!

[@joyceclowser3371]

I, too, like my alone time. Love talking with people, but am an introvert first and foremost. I am content with my own company. As always your stitching is fantastic!!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Well said!

[@heathershearer7889]

Your samplers are so beautiful ❤️

[@Pamallama_Stitches]

Beautiful WIPS. My wish list grows & grows! Thank you for sharing your stitching progress. I enjoy your floss tube. Lots of eye candy Vickie!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@Sues_knots_and_crosses]

Lovely to see all your wonderful projects Vicky. You have been so busy. I liked the Liz Matthews pattern, the colours you are using are so pretty. Your meet up in the shopping mall sounds like fun. It’s a good idea. Enjoy your time away with your Mum. Look forward to your next video. Take care x

[@lindaskinner5887]

Thanks for sharing your stitching.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thanks for watching!

[@bettyechristain9711]

There are many infomercials. Sometimes two in a row. FYI. Very beautiful stitching.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Good to know!

[@maureenlopez9266]

It was good to see you again and all of the beautiful things you've been working on. I got a lot of stitching done while watching😊. You're inspiring me to start my Land that I Love after seeing the progress you are making on yours. I'll be doing mine on 16 count as well. Such a beautiful piece! Have a great couple of weeks!

[@snickerdoodlestitch2146]

Love your videos!

[@joanneseeger5271]

Love seeing your variety of wonderful projects! Thank you for sharing. Have a fun trip with your mom, speaking from experience, enjoy time with her when you can. Happy Summer!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you! Will do!

[@gloriaurrea7916]

Vickie, thank you for sharing a fabulous video. You have been an inspiration. I enjoy my time with my cross-stitch projects all by myself. 😊😅 I also enjoy meeting people, but that has become so unpredictable that I could be okay without it. 🙂

[@kjmstitches]

Your WIP’s are amazing! I always look forward to your videos! What amazing stitching and such a variety of projects! All of your work is beautiful. Thanks for explaining how you approach your work on a Q snap and that you do bead using a Q snap as I wondered if people used a Qsnap to do their beading. Super helpful for me! I have only been stitching a few years so I appreciate the suggestions and the helpful hints on how you approach your projects!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much. I use a q-snap up until I bead and then I switch to a scroll frame.

[@aliceschultz3182]

Another amazing video!!! Just letting you know there were 7 ads during your video. Enjoy your trips!!!

[@susansaunders397]

So fun seeing all of your accomplishments! Beautiful pieces & as always, inspiring. Can’t wait to see your next video. I hope you have the best time at Massanutten with your friends & get a lot of stitching in; we were supposed to go this weekend & unfortunately, my husbands schedule changed, so he’ll be flying. I, too, am a mix of intro/extrovert! Depends on time, place & mood for me, & I actually prefer being a homebody! Happy Stitching ❤️🧵🪡

[@bethliotta267]

So good to see the notification of your video pop up!!! I'm stitching what I want this year but my Mid Summer Reset happened... So I am Stitching Wips only for the rest of the year! SO much fun! And that's so cool that you met Sheilia! The Sunshine Stitchers are so much fun. Another Floss Tube I have watched from the beginning like yourself. Love your MAYnia ! Thanks for another great video!!!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

A mid year reset🤔. I like that idea.

[@michelemead841]

Thank you for sharing your stitching it's beautiful ❤️

[@dollyyarborough2918]

Hello from NC Vicki, no apologies needed, we are all busy with life challenges. Appreciate so much you sharing all your beautiful pieces with us, gorgeous as always. How lucky you are to be going on a trip with your Mother...I miss my Momma every day. Have fun Vicki...and we will see you when it all settles down for you again. No worries, have fun!

[@naturegirl7420]

Finally..I missed you !! Now I’ll sit back and listened😀

[@jensfiberweb]

Just so you know, I'm only 20 mins into the video and it has already been interrupted 3 times with ads. I'm not sure if its something youtube is doing on my end or yours, but you mentioned it so I wanted to share.

[@kathyn4267]

I got to the coffee cup stitch piece. Very pretty. I will watch the rest tomorrow. Going to bed to get up early for work tomorrow. Missed you.

[@MountainLakeStitcher]

I finished my One Nation in May. So excited to have it done. Gotta get it to a framer real soon. Started it on July 4th after seeing your WIP. That means I’m coming up on my one year anniversary of watching your channel. Yeah!!!!! I finally counted my Wips. Got 52. You inspire me soooo much and help me feel less guilty for having so many unfinished projects and still wanting to do new starts. Also counted up my finishes. Got 62 since I started a year ago in April. And I have 116 kitted projects ready to be started. I always have something to do. Never board. Just came home after spending 7 weeks RVing out west. Enjoy your trip.

[@CarolRogers50]

You are fabulous charming very informative for me and inspirational 🧵🪡🧵🪡🙏🌻🌻🐾😍♥️👏

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Wow, thank you!

[@beckipugh8124]

Thanks for the update! All the projects seem to be coming along nicely such nice work. Hope you and your Mom have a great road trip! Hope you have a wonderful summer and we'll be here whenever your schedule works out to post again. Happy Stitching!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thanks, you too!

[@DaisysXMarksTheSpots]

I’m the same way, I enjoy being by myself and talking to the camera is different, I’m enjoying doing my FlossTube 😉

[@clarec6659]

I feel I’m visiting with you, just stitching ‘Caroline’s Sampler Pouch’ by Stacy Nash. Blessings and happy stitching,plus getting that carpet in.

[@quinellleftwich1781]

I hope I can make the stitch together. It's about 3.5 hours from me. Sounds fun!!! Will stay tuned.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

That would be wonderful.

[@quinellleftwich1781]

@@thevirginiastitcher yes it really would!!!😊

[@clarabyrne4183]

Always enjoy your video's but there were so many ads this time. Can't wait to see the FFO when you get it back from the framers.

[@Jasmine-ur1sl]

Hi, Vicky. Nice to see you again "across the table" and catching up on the projects you worked on last month. I went to my first retreat in early May. I a glad I went, but I too needed some alone time and was not shy about politely excusing myself from the stitching room every couple of hours or so to go for a solo walk or back to my room and read a novel. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

[@kathyn4267]

Second half was just as fun as the first half. I don't know how you pick which one to work on?

[@DeeAZstitcher]

I'm still organizing my room. I've been finding cool stuff. Not sure what I'm stitching yet in July.

[@debbiereynolds9276]

So glad you are back. Following progress on “North Pole”, I have that one and will pull it out tomorrow and try to catch up. Also have From The Heart and Halloween Letters. I may try Ghoultide Welcome by Plum Street. Hope your back is feeling better and can stitch 🪡🧵👏🥰 Thank you so much for sharing 🥰

[@thevirginiastitcher]

All fun projects

[@frankieronacher1794]

Good morning from Canada, just started getting back into cross stitching. I love all your projects on the go. I would love to know how to get Cup of Cheer by Shannon Wasilieff. My granddaughter loves making all types of drink. Would love to make it for her. Love your video, subscribed to you channel. Thanks in advance for your help

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Hello and welcome 🙂. You can find her charts on Etsy under Shannon Christine. Happy stitching 🧵

[@billembody4829]

Congrats on your finish! I just ordered the Quaker Study chart… Question - on the silk 4 you project are you using the loop method? What length are you cutting your floss? All your projects are gorgeous and makes me want to start them all. I’m, along with 5 friends, going to a retreat in October. They all know I’m on the quiet side and will need to get away from the noise for a bit, either a nap or a walk. Thanks for sharing your stitching with the world, it’s very much appreciated.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

I cut the Silks4U hank in half then use two strands to keep the variegation. Happy stitching 🧵

[@sueb1828]

Always enjoy seeing your progress on your stitching. A couple of questions. How many inches do you allow for your border in Welcome to the North Pole & Jolly Christmas Bell Pull? They are quite long & am wondering how long your fabric needs to be. Thanks for tips on using Q-Snap. TFS.

[@WhatstheSizzle]

Love your Q snap tips. I also like a piece of fabric (you said you use felt) but a piece of fabric b/c those clamps on the Q snap are hard to lift off -- unless you know a better way -- w/o breaking my nails, but I can pull on the extra fabric & it snaps off. Been stitching for over 65 years & am open to any ideas/tips that anyone shows. Love ur videos.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

My a-snaps have loosened a bit with use. I used to break my nails frequently also.

[@devrakline4967]

So excited when I see you have a new video! Great WIPS! I’m about 2 hours from you. Would consider a stitch together. May I ask what brand of carpet you are getting? Looking into recarpeting our bedrooms but worried about the smell of new carpet.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Sounds great! We purchased our carpets from Lowe’s. I am not sure about odor yet. It gets installed later this week.

[@LesleyDuncan-vw5gq]

You have some beautiful WIPs. I'm afraid I had to pause the video to go and buy Tiny Modernist Spooky Halloween Bellpull. 😀

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@susanleone8986]

Yes I had the same experience...lucky to be able to watch 5 minutes and a commercial pops up. So annoying as I enjoy watching you and your stitches but those ads are too much!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

I just monetized my channel. There should not be ads during my videos.

[@cathy5boys]

I always love your updates and seeing all your projects! Where is your WIP tracker from?

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you Cathy 🙂. My WIP tracker was downloaded from “Stitch All The Things”. They are free downloads.

[@cathy5boys]

@@thevirginiastitcher found it! Thank you!!

[@dollyyarborough2918]

Hello Vicki, one more note, if after watching you one time, I decide to watch again, KZbin puts commercials in every 8 minutes....so you should be compensated, for sure.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you, Dolly. I just monitored. I checked and did not see ads in the middle of my video.

[@BassingirlCrafts]

❤

[@marthaabstein6046]

I wanted to let you know that that there have been 2 ads in the first 3 minutes of this video. I watched the Tiny House Stitcher yesterday and she said that floss tubers were having this problem. She suggested that we should let you know and that you need to check and see if you have monetized you KZbin. Maybe they have done something to cancel that. I have watcher your channel for over a year and this is the first one that this has been a problem.

[@candrasowder8236]

The ads were thick throughout. I wouldn't mind so much if I knew Vicky was getting the revenue, but she isn't.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

KZbin has recently started adding the ads. I just minimized. There should not be ads during my videos.

[@candrasowder8236]

@thevirginiastitcher you're worth the watch!

[@harleyriderstitcher3951]

Would yu please turn captions on? You used to have that option! Thanks!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

I never turned them on or off. I don’t see anywhere on my KZbin on how to do this. I am so sorry.

[@susanmarit5365]

🌸🌼🌺🌸

[@suzettemiller4689]

Did you finish One Nation?.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Not yet. It is approximately half done. I am planning on making it my 25/7 where I stitch on it every morning for at least 25 minutes.

[@CarolRogers50]

Hello 👋

[@jellybabies47]

Hi Vicky. Just wanted to let you know that there are a lot of advert breaks in this video. I am enjoying this video but it is really quite annoying. I am a subscriber and have been watching you now for a long while. There never used to be so many ads like nowadays. Of course I love watching you and will keep watching. ❤❤❤

[@gleehanson4775]

Good visit, Girlfriend 😊

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you! 🤗

[@kathygarvin5084]

Would rather see more of your work. Less talking please. Not being rude. Love your work.💗

[@thevirginiastitcher]

I will try to keep it in mind. I think it is a little bit of nervous babble.
