Thank you! 😊

[@paulinerowbury5589]

My favourite is still Firefly. One cat a year. That is a doable goal. Lovely to meet you at VICSTITCH.

[@AnimalInstinct]

Yaaasss - mid year wip parade!

[@carylminard448]

I do love the Red Mermaid she’s looks fantastic! & I do need to get her back out and put some work into her. Galah is a gorgeous bird, I’m looking forward to seeing how that develops. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡

Great WIP parade Kelly. I’m running very behind on watching floss tube videos but really enjoyed watching your update 💜💜

[@AnimalInstinct]

Thanks Gail! Hope you’re well 😊

[@Tanglethread]

Just found your podcast and loved the visit . The pin cushion is gorgeous. Nice to an Adelaideian too.

Hang in there with your cat sampler, I finally finished mine after starting it two years ago and it is truly lovely, Once I got into it again I finished it within a month and I customized the kitties to look like mine so maybe that helped me want to get it finished!

[@AnimalInstinct]

Thank you! Just what I needed to hear! 😊

I am about to start a flossy fox shop pattern! I wish I was as a good as you at choosing a fabric colour for it!!

[@AnimalInstinct]

Ooh which one? I found a piece in my stash that I think was the same as the model/picture. I’m sure you found something great 😊

[@StitchFitAu]

@@AnimalInstinct The Witch Hat Sampler, Adventurers Guild. I am going to keep it simple with an antique whiteish fabric!

[@eleanorbrickhouse8467]

❤ Love, love the cat project ! Is that a HAED? ❤️

[@AnimalInstinct]

Thank you! It is from Gecko Rouge and is called Firefly, artwork by Jey Parks 😊

[@juliew3740]

Hi Kelly, thanks for doing a wip parade. They are so fun to watch. I have a question about your larger Biscornu. Did you do the same 4 sided stitch on the edges, or was it just a cross stitch or straight stitch on the edges? I couldn’t make that out.

[@AnimalInstinct]

Thanks Julie, it’s the same 4-sided stitch on both pieces, then joined together with the same technique you’d use if you’d done back stitch around each edge. Hope that makes sense!

[@christinemoore5547]

Love all your stitching. Your finishes are amazing. I tried to find the Haunted Library from Lola Crow Cross Stitching but I could not seem to find it. Do you know where I can get that pattern from because I absolutely love it.

[@AnimalInstinct]

Thanks Christine! lolacrowcrossstitch.com/products/haunted-library-halloween-stitch-along-sal-cross-stitch-pattern-pdf-instant-download - you might need to copy and paste but that’ll get you to the pattern. Enjoy!

[@marionanthony1530]

When you mentioned Kristi"s charts are from the boarders of scripts, I thought of children doing funny drawings in their books. I am surprised that you stitch bits far away from the larger area that has been stitching. To much counting for me . Hope that makes sense.

[@AnimalInstinct]

Thanks Marion, I know what you mean by kids doodling in the margins, must have been the earliest version of that! And yes, a bit of careful counting required, but it wasn’t too bad. 😊

[@Tanglethread]

Quick question is the Firefly pattern available to purchase anywhere, I’ve seen it to buy in a kit and couldn’t possibly afford the amount showing on Gecko Rouge. It’s a fabulous design

[@AnimalInstinct]

Hi there, unfortunately I don’t think it’s available anywhere else. I nabbed it with a new release special discount and some vouchers, and know I’m very lucky to be working on it. 😊

[@Tanglethread]

@@AnimalInstinct thankyou for letting me know. It’s absolutely amazing 😻

[@franziskaheidemann4434]

I like your projects and your system very much! I look forward to every new video!!!! Unfortunately Gamer by Medusa Dollmaker on Etsy only has 36 colors!!! So the result will never be as detailed and beautiful as Gecko Rouge's kit. Maybe you'll add that next time. This is not an alternative to the kit.

[@AnimalInstinct]

Thank you so much for letting me know - I will mention that next time, really appreciate the info.

[@franziskaheidemann4434]

@@AnimalInstinct In the meantime, Medusa has expanded its range and also offers a version with over 90 colors! Greetings from Berlin Franziska
