Great floss tube! Happy that your little boy is coming soon. Praying for him to be healthy.😊

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you! 😊

[@TheCraftyWhippet]

You are my knitting inspiration. There is no way I would be doing a stockinette beanie in fingering weight if it weren't for your projects, but here I am and what a great way to use up the one off hand dye skeins in my stash, so thank you! Your stitching looks fantastic and nothing like starting the year with a finish! ☺

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you so much 🥹💕💕💕. Happy knitting I hope you’re having an amazing start to your new year.

[@TigerLilyDesigns]

Loved catching up with you sweetie! You have such a positive attitude on life and it’s just perfect. It is hard to have things happening you can’t control. I’m sending you lots of hugs and prayers! I hope Amira has a fabulous birthday. I’m sure you will spoil her which is exactly as it should be. 🩷

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you 🥲🥹🤍. I am trying! Besides, when you’re a mom you just gotta keep going. You know how that is! I can’t wait to have Amira’s little birthday party. Her friends have slowly been rsvp’ing and she is SO excited 😆. I love it.

[@mm-qm9zh]

Yay!! I’m so happy to see you today! Girl, I am so proud of you…your finish on the Suffrage Act is just gorgeous! I remember when you started it, so that’s really special. 🥰 You’ve made great progress on the Beatrix Potter piece as well..I love the color you chose. Dinky Dyes are one of my favorites, too. In fact, you’ve made a lot of progress on all your WIPs…I just love seeing those early projects again. Love, love, love the yarn that Brijin sent you for the beanies…It’s just perfect. You are so strong, and have such a beautiful, positive spirit…I am so proud to be your friend. Thank you!! Sendup prayers and love, Meline PS - The project I am working on is Three Chairs by Carriage House Samplings 😊

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Meline, you are simply an angel. Thank you for your love and support. I’m trying to stay positive and accept whatever the outcome is but I’m hopeful none the less! I appreciate you more than you could ever know. Lots of love! -m

[@rockymtnpenny]

OMG! I now have the sweetest picture in my head of you and Daniel in your 90's at the yarn store so he can pick out the yarn for his new hat! Yes please! And staying positive is the best thing you can do for yourself, your son, and your family. You can feel absolutely positive that you already have a son that you love with all your being. That's the best thing in the world. (Until they turn into teenagers, but that comes later. LOL) Best wishes!

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Hahaha I swear that will be us. He seriously loves them and I couldn’t adore that more. I appreciate that they are getting used to death LOL. Thank you so much for your positivity. I definitely try my best to stay hopeful. We can’t change what’s happening we can only control how we feel about it.

[@rockymtnpenny]

@@TheSeattleStitcher Our intentions are so very important for so many reasons, from how we react to a current situation to the karma that we will experience at an undetermined later time. I find that during times of great challenges, it often requires more focus to smile and show love than to succumb to the dregs, and by concentrating on staying positive I avoid most of the darkness. Lots of sage advice out there, including mine. But ultimately if you hold onto the love, it's worth whatever it costs us.

[@phyllisreeves1156]

Love the color on your Beatrix Potter Quaker. Praying for you and your baby boy

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I am a new subscriber and am excited about my daughter starting to cross stitch with me in 2024. 🎉

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you so much! I hope some day my daughter enjoys stitching, she is almost 6 and occasionally shows interest. Maybe some day! That’s so exciting.

[@stitchinginthemuseum]

Your suffragette finish is wonderful. I need to stitch some suffragette patterns at some point. Meant to in 2020, but we all know what happened that year. Cam has the most amazing conversions for floss! So envious of people who have an eye for colors. Definitely not me 😂 Glad you and your family are doing well. Those mom and son beanies are adorable. Have a great week! Sending you lots of love and hugs!

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

I don’t think any of us know what happened to our 2020 goals LOL! Cam really does have the best conversions. We constantly tell her she is a color queen. A genius! 🥰🤍 Thank you for watching!

[@debraculpepper2396]

Hi Megan! So nice to see you! I haven’t been on flosstube for a while, unfortunately I have been sick with a bad head cold. Now I am back and so are you. 🎉 How have you been feeling, you look so pretty as always. Congratulations on your finish it is so pretty. As always I enjoyed your flosstube, take care, see you next time.💕

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Oh my goodness Debra I hope you are feeling better! Thank you so much for your support! I am feeling tired haha that’s for sure. My body is really just done with this pregnancy I’m feeling it that’s for sure but only a few more weeks! 🥰🤍

Hello sweetie, I’ve been thinking a lot of you today. The time for welcoming your son is coming soon, I think. I just wanted you to know that I’m praying and virtually holding your hand! I’m so proud of you, your courage, your determination and most of all your love for your precious child. May God bless both of you and may everything go well. Be happy and keep looking up! Lots of love and warm hugs for you and your entire sweet family. Gisela

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you so so much for your support and love. I am due in less than two weeks and the time has flown by. I keep meaning to make time to record but between birthday parties, doctors appointments and work I have been swamped. Hoping to get one more flosstube out before baby is born but we’ll see! 💓💓💓

[@deborah965]

Your mystery linen looks like picture this plus Ancient. It is my new favorite linen.

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

I thought the same, I think they look a lot alike. It’s ledger by BeStitchMe. Brijin reminded me the colorway LOL. She has the best memory I swear!

[@juliehart6952]

I stitched the suffragette pattern and gave it to my daughter. My pattern was given to a friend. I enjoyed stitching it. My grandmother (who my daughter is named for) was a suffragette. It took me longer than you. Loved it I am stitching I Heard the Bells by Heartstring Samples.

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Hi Megan, glad to see you. I am almost done with my double rim fingering hat since last video thanks!. I'm going to try the Musselburgh hat. All your projects look great . Take it easy dear.❤

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

I want to try that pattern too! I always hear such good things. Happy knitting friend.

[@tamimorgan1487]

Yay! Great finish! Your wips are coming along- one stitch at a time! I too am trying to work on what I have and not buy any new charts this year- hopefully I can resist 🤪🤣 I will continue to pray for you and your sweet little baby! I just started a new chart that I’ve had kitted up for over a year. “Beautiful Things” by Lindy Stitches. Thank you for sharing!

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@kerrietwycross2222]

Lovely projects again. I remember those last few weeks of pregnancy, and it is hard 😅 to sleep, to move, etc. My second dropped low so early but waited until we were past due date to make an appearance. Keep strong and positive. You're in my thoughts and hope you can take it as easy as you can (tough with another kid and work).

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Oh man I cannot wait for this pregnancy to come to an end haha. I am so tired! Time really does fly by though. Thank you for thinking of me! 💕💕

[@thecampinglibrarian]

I always love watching you videos. Praying for your comfort during this last trimester. Even though it’s been years since I was pregnant I remember that time. ❤

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you! 😊

[@juliegomery2792]

Hi, Megan! Loved seeing your progress, I was finishing up Christmas in my Heart by Samplers Not Forgotten as I watched you today. That is a goal for a finish in January -- Only 1 more day! I think I will make it. I wanted you to know I am praying for you you, your family and your precious son. I so admire your determination to stay positive and be present for your pregnancy and your son, so that you don;t let worry rob you of the joy along the way . When I was pregnant with my son, they found something in the early ultrasound which could have boded very badly for him , as well. We were unsure until he was born, although a late term ultrasound gave some hope that he would not have the most difficult outcome. He was born healthy, no issues to our joy and surprise. It can happen,. At at any rate, I pray for you to enjoy every moment with your precious son

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you so much for sharing your story with me. 💞 I am staying as hopeful as I can! Time goes by so fast, I can’t believe he will be here in a few weeks.

[@maureenmoore4104]

Love your floss tube, Megan! Your stitches are beautiful! Love your Round Robin and your finish is really pretty! Your are so courageous and such a bright light! It is a joy to watch you! I pray for you and your beautiful baby boy! I know you are in the Lord’s hands. I love being considered your friend! God bless!❤

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you, Maureen! I hope you’re doing well in the new year 🤍🤍. Happy stitching my friend!

[@Aspen_stitcher]

Your first 2024 finish is beautiful! Well done! Love the knitted hat you made for your daughter....she is so adorable, plus the matching hats for you and your son. Love the color of that yarn....Brijin is such a sweet person.

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you! And I have to agree, Brijin is the best. So honored to be her friend.

[@Aspen_stitcher]

@@TheSeattleStitcher Sure she is just as honored to have your friendship. You are both fabulous!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Take the opportunity to rest as much as you can. Your stitching can help with that as well. I worked on my one over one piece from PNPS. Keeping you in my thoughts.

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

I am working up to my due date but man am I feeling it. I only have a few weeks left and I am so tired. I definitely hope to take it easier the next couple weeks. Minus Amira’s birthday plans and her other events but you know how that mom life goes!

[@jonij794]

Beautiful finishes! I cast on a hat and am knitting the ribbing. Just finished binding off the Aurora cabin shawl by Stephen west. Sundays are knitting days.

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

I love that! Sundays for knitting. Hope you’re having a wonderful week.

[@beckipugh8124]

Congrats on the finish, I'll bet that felt good! Those matching hats are adorable and that color was great ( huge green fan ) Amira's was adorable also. Look forward to hearing how her birthday party turns out, that shirt is too cute! Get some rest kid! Happy Stitching!

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you Becki!! It really did feel great to finish something. I was so hopeful I would get close to a finish on my Good Intentions piece but it’s more stitching than I thought. Amira is so excited for her birthday. We are celebrating early next month. ☺️☺️🤍🤍

[@lindaromar2824]

I really enjoy seeing you in every flosstube. I think you did a lot of stitching all together over all of those projects and you can feel proud that you managed all of that along with the rest of your life responsibilities. Your matching hats look great, too. I am trying to get started on An Old Irish Blessing for my SIL and struggling to convert from silk gauze (what the pattern calls for) single strand and continental stitch to 25 or 28 count fabric . I am going to try to find a needlework store in my area and hope someone there can help. 😊

Oooo that sounds fabulous I hope you get the help you need. 😍

I hope you get a chance to have some serious rest in the next month Megan. Your positivity and acceptance are inspirational though. Thinking of you from the other side of the world. ( And also your stitching and knitting is amazing. I’m not even a knitter and I love seeing the things you make. )

Thank you! I also plan to work from stash this year. I seriously just want to see more progress on my current WIPs. Especially the huge ones! I feel like I won’t ever see that unless I stop starting SO many things LOL. It’s gonna be hard but I’ve been enjoying it so far this month.

Dear Megan, It’s so inspirational and heartwarming to see your strength and faith. You are amazing and my heart is full just seeing how that strength and faith allows you to accept whatever God wants for you and your son. You could have taken a different route, but instead you are honoring your values and love as a mother for your son. I want you to know that my prayers for you and your son are constant. God will be there for you and He will hold both of you close to Himself. Get plenty of rest and keep looking up!!! I send you and your entire family lots of love. Gisela

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you so much, Gisela. It’s been really hard and your comment brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your support. I really appreciate you and everyone in this community for just being here for me. We are choosing to stay positive. His last 3-D ultrasound he looked so healthy and I am going to hold on to that and stay positive. 🩵🤍🙏🏻

[@acueto7]

I’m working on “The little brown bat”. Speaking from a referral agents point of view. It is better for you to call them as we usually put the people who call first as well as the emergency cases. You get so many referrals people get pushed to the back burner and a lot of people don’t even want the referral the doctor sends. So I hope they can get you in and just know that whatever the outcome you are amazing and that baby is grateful to have a mommy that loves him so much. ❤

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

Thank you so much! My husband is pretty stressed about them not calling but I keep telling him we can’t change the outcome so I’ll be patient lol. I see my doctor next week so I’ll have to ask her for the number of the office to call.

[@maxwellstudio19]

I literately had to stop your video and go buy my first dinky dye! Your finish is amazing! Are you stitching a birth sampler for the baby? I don’t see many patterns for babies. My first baby was a precious moments baby announcement. Ha! Saying continual prayers for our boy and your family!

[@TheSeattleStitcher]

No birth sampler. Unfortunately I am pregnant with baby that could be still born due to a very rare brain cyst that only 1%-2 of babies have. We are super optimistic because blood work is looking good but anyway I decided not to do a birth sampler. I’ll keep my stitching as my peace. 🤍🤍🤍
