Oh thank you! Those ladies are a lot of fun 🙂

Vicky..... thankyou so much for telling me to go back to your early videos. I can't believe how wrong I was doing things till you explained! I don't know anyone that's cross stitch so I'm glad I found you😁I'm on video 13 now and love watching them. Sending big Toni hugs from the UK 🇬🇧❤️

[@connietatar7536]

Hi Vicki, everything is absolutely beautiful. I love your projects. So sorry to hear about your knee pain and your mom’s foot. Pain of any kind is no fun! I enjoyed your video so much, thank you so much for sharing with us Vicki. Take care until next time.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Debra!🙂

[@empm1330]

Hi Vicki I just signed in to subscribe to your channel and I have been watching your old videos and have enjoyed them very much. I hope your knee and your mom's foot get better ( will say a prayer for you both) I enjoyed watching your stitchy goodness and have a lot on my wishlist. When I go to Shepards bush in around Oct/Nov (live only 20 minutes away) I will look to see what they have in stock. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much! 🙂. I hope you find lots of goodies on your shopping trip.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you, Shirley 🙂

[@christinesouthard2350]

Thank you for your video. I'm so sorry your trip got canceled, but it was good that you were still able to spend Mom time! All your WIPS have great progress. All those future starts are great, can't wait to see them! Hope your knee, and your Mom's foot heal quickly! Take care and happy stitching!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@paulafinlinson3165]

Loved every one of your WIPS. Just keep them coming.

[@lindabostedt1224]

Beautiful WIP'S but the diamond painting blew me away. Sorry your trip did not work out, but you had special mom time, and that is precious.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@kathyl4692]

Glad to see you back and that you had a wonderful visit with your mom. What an amazing Diamond Painting. I enjoy that too but haven't done much since I've picked up my stitching again and started some quilting. Not enough crafting time in the day to do all the things. :)

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much! I have been contemplating picking up quilting. Like you said, not enough time in the day.

[@bethgilene1515]

Glad you are back. Sorry your travels were up ended. Glad you could spend time with your Mom. I lost my Mom when I was in my early 30's and feel robbed of time with her.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Beth! 🙂. I am sorry about your mom.

[@joanneseeger5271]

Glad to see you! Your stitching is amazing!@

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you! 😊

[@marleenoceanbreeze6510]

Nice to see you back, though sorry about your knee. Your stitching is beautiful. Those Hawk Run patterns are such fun. The one you're making for your anniversary is beautiful, and much larger than I expected, It looked so small on the pattern lol. Take care, and enjoy the next few weeks' stitching.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@kerryw1958]

Lovely video. I am also currently stitching Rejoice Evermore. I’m enjoying this stitch very much.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Kerry! It is a lovely piece…happy stitching 🧵

[@ConnieInman1954]

I gather your mother lives in the Villages. I live in Belleview just south of Ocala and near the Villages. Glad you had time with mom. Love your channel and seeing all of your WIPS.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Connie! 🙂. She does live in the Villages.

[@marthaabstein6046]

So glad that you are back. I missed you because you make me feel that it is OK to stitch what I want. Like you i did away with WIPGO, so that I could be a happy stitcher. I hope that your knee is better and that your Mom's foot is better. Look forward to seeing your next video.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you, Martha! Stitch what you want when you want 🙂

[@susanpickett1997]

Good to see you back. Hope you’re feeling better.

Your video was wonderful! Definitely not too long. I love watching you, your have such a nice camera presence. I'm going to try and stitch those cute witches.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Kathy 🙂

[@crosshatchquilts]

Always love spending time with you! I love every single project you are working on!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much. Your channel is one of my favorites. You are precious along with Gus and his little sister (can’t remember her name). Your projects are always gorgeous.

[@charj57]

I have kitted up the top 3rd of a Hawk Run. So I bought all the threads to stitch the top section. I bought the total number of Threads called for of that color, so I did not have to worry about dye lots.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Smart idea!

[@MsKarenMR]

Happy Stitching 🤗🦋❤!!!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

You too!!

[@cherylbradford8960]

Hooray you’re back!!!

[@marylynnlutenski9196]

Your lighting is good!!

[@debbiereynolds9276]

Glad to see your video pop up. Tablet and coffee ☕️. Love all the charts you are working on but the Santa Stops Here by WTNT really shouts out to me, took notes on your changes to the roof and the snow. When the weather breaks here I have to plan a day trip to Salty Yarns, about a 2 hour drive from where I am in Delaware. Glad you got to visit with your Mom and happy stitching in the next few weeks. 🪡🧵🥰👏👵

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much! Salty Yarns is worth the trip, in my opinion. Happy stitching 🧵

You are so welcome!

[@bethliotta267]

Hi - So good to see you again! I am stitching Seedy Pumpkin Cottage and I almost did not stitch it because something didn't connect with me. Then I realized it was all the people! So I am going to stitch just a few people and dogs and fill in with ghosts and pumpkins. So far I really love it and will get it done for next Halloween. Thought I would share that with you! Can't wait to see what you decide to do. Thanks again for another wonderful video!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Hi Beth, I too, will probably pick and choose which people and pumpkins to stitch. There are too many scattered around and looks too haphazard for my taste. Have fun stitching it.

[@quinellleftwich1781]

Glad youre back. I hope you continue to mend. Great video!!!

Thank you 🙂

Was so happy when I saw your video posted, missed you! Hopefully both you and your Mom are on the mend. At least you were able to spend a good bit of time with her. Wonderful wips! Love them all!! I have been working on Cinnamon Stars by Plum Street and am almost finished, only a few more stars. I got the Fall stitching bug early, LOL

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much! Me too, I started stitching Fall in August. Happy stitching 🧵

I’m very sorry your trips were switched and I hope your knee and your moms foot are healing. I know what lower back issues can do. Glad you got together tho with your mom!!

Hello and welcome back! We all missed you! Even though your trip did not go quite to plan you made the best of it and spent time with your Mom and that was the important part! ❤. I never get tired of hearing about your projects and seeing your stitching! Your work is stunning and I love all the projects you have! Looking forward to your next video!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@donnas.7604]

I was so excited when my notification came up that you posted a video! I’m sorry your plans fell through but glad you and your mom still had time together. Your Diamond Painting is so beautiful! I always enjoy your videos and your stitching is amazing. You always get so much done.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much!!

[@jenniferrahm3600]

What a glorious flosstube. I'm so happy that you're back. I do hope you and your mom are over your aches and pains and are feeling fabulous ❤ The flosstubers you mentioned are just wonderful. They have so much stitchy goodness and are such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful projects and of course, your gorgeous self with all of us. ❤❤

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Jennifer!

[@maureenlopez9266]

It was so nice to see you back😊. I'm sorry your travel plans got so messed up, but I'm glad you were able to enjoy your time with your mom and finish that gloriously huge diamond painting of Queen Elizabeth ! Wow! That really looks impressive! Your Tidal River piece and Santa Stops Here are looking beautiful, as are your Hawk Runs. You always stitch on such lovely colored fabrics. Hope your knee is all healed!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much!!

[@heathershearer7889]

So pleased to watch your video again ❤

[@nancyevans7609]

I enjoyed your WIPs today but really loved Santa Stops Here on your fabric choice!!❤️ Hope that new flooring was worth all the pain you went through after the fact! Very happy you could salvage your Mother Daughter time spent together so maybe that trip out West could still be planned another year! Your Diamond painting was a fabulous finish. Just curious about how you finish one for display? Is it framed in any way? Never looked into that hobby but I really loved yours!❤️ Have fun at your retreat and enjoy stitching with your friends.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Nancy! So far I have only framed my Diamond Paintings. I am checking into other ways to display some of my really large pieces that I want to display in my craft room and switch out.

[@angiefittro8372]

You were missed!❤❤❤ I do not stitch anything you do probably, but I love watching your flosstube. I cannot stitch big pieces, and I barely do samplers, but I listen to and watch your flosstube anyway. Good to have you back!😊

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Angie! 🙂

[@anniebeezfolkart2558]

So glad you are back Vickie! Missed you! I love the variety of pieces you stitch!🩵🧡

[@ritatomaino4502]

We missed you!!! So happy you are back and I'm hoping your knee is feeling better and your Mom is doing well too!! Can "Love Never Fails" be done on Aida - is there any over ones? Thanks for a great video ... as usual!! 🙂

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Rita 🙂. Love Never Fails is charted with all regular cross stitch so it can easily be stitched on Aida.

[@stitchinglonestar6362]

I’m so sorry to hear that your summer plans didn’t work out. It would’ve been an epic trip, for sure. Glad you are back!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@OnceUponAStitch]

Hi Vickie! So much fun watching your video and seeing all your beautiful stitching. I am sorry to hear that wonderful Trip that was planned, was postponed. Your mom playing softball at 80! That is awesome! Our was great seeing the Plymouth Sampler being stitched - I just loved that pattern! Enjoy the rest of September! Lori

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much! I teared up at the end of your last video along with you. You all will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Also, how dare that doctor 😠

[@sandraoreilly7477]

Your back!! Sorry to hear that your plans had to keep changing and about your knee and your mom’s foot. Wishing you both a speedy recovery, beautiful stitching as always.

Hi there. So happy to see you! Sorry about your plans and your knee. So glad you had some time with mom! You stitch some beautiful pieces. I especially love the houses! God bless! See you soon.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Paulette 🙂

[@cozybee]

It was a lot of fun to see what was in your autumn stash! I think the house alone with some trees from Praiseworthy Stitches on its own would be beautiful! Also I want to nudge nudge you to pull out your scarecrows from 1994 this fall and give them some love! They're so close to being a finish!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much 😊. With all the new, shiny things I tend to forget about my oldies but goodies. Thank you for reminding me.

[@kathrynbaker-gago5942]

Your diamond art piece is gorgeous. Do you do a treatment on it once finished so you can roll it without wrecking it?

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much, Kathryn! I don’t do anything to the Diamond painting and I have never had a problem with diamonds falling off that is why I like Diamond Art Club. They are great quality.

[@marylynnlutenski9196]

I love to see what you’re stitching!! I think your stitches look like some of the best I’ve seen. Do you use mostly DMC? I’m finding it’s the easiest to stitch with for me. I also don’t like over 2??? I’m wondering why tho?

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much 🙂. I probably stitch about half with DMC and the other half with over dyed cotton threads and a very little with silk. I usually stitch with two threads. I love using the loop method when I am using DMC.

[@michelemead841]

I have started Feast of Friendship with Vicki Clayton silks I love it ❤

I bet it is going to be beautiful 😍. Happy stitching
