Always lovely to be inspired by your stitching and thank you for putting me on to Nicola's tutorials. What a gift to our commmunity. She deserves a seat on a throne as do you for how you connect out community.

[@sewmesarah]

Nicola’s work is amazing and her tutorials are brilliant. I need to catch up a few weeks now.

[@lindab8078]

It is always a pleasure to see what Charlotte is up to. Her excitement and enthusiasm is contagious. She is a fireball of energy😊. Congratulations on making it to the halfway point in your year of 50 stitches. It must be hard to put down something you are enjoying to start something new. My favourite thing about Halloween is handing out candy and seeing all the cute costumes. Happy stitching!

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you Linda. Charlotte is definitely a force of nature! Yes, it’s hard starting things and having to leave them but I am getting some of them moved on and finished so it’s not too bad. The bigger ones will probably have to wait until next year.

[@cindyb4486]

I think you deserve a throan for all these new starts!

[@carrotcakestitcher]

Thanks for sharing all of your lovely projects Sarah. You are doing so well with your fun for 50 sal new starts. I love seeing Charlotte ❤😍 Such a little star 🌟 Throne.

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you for watching!

[@cindyb4486]

Halloween and Christmas are my favorite seasons to stitch!

[@stacymaris6375]

Loved your video. It was fun to hear about the bridge house and your holidays there. Sometimes we watch walking videos and I remember seeing the bridge house on Dave’s Walks KZbin channel. He walks through the English countryside and doesn’t talk, just shows the beautiful countryside. Very relaxing. Love your starts for Christmas in July. Happy Stitching

[@sewmesarah]

Yes, the Bridge House is very distinctive and so cute because it is relatively tiny. For many years it was used as an apple store (actual apples, not tech equipment 😉) because it has no grounded foundations and being over the river it was naturally cool and perfect for the purpose.

[@catkinandlillie]

I absolutely love the variety of your projects and your stitching is beautiful 😍 Congrats on a super pretty finish 🎉💜 Now I see why you enjoyed my chatting about the Lake District and Ambleside since it is a special place for you. We did love the cute Bridge House and Ambleside was lovely...yes, a bit touristy but I guess that included us as well 😂 We will be back to the area for sure. And I'm excited to see your Bridge House stitch...it's so tiny and cute...just like the House itself! By pure coincidence I was stitching on the Historical Sampler Company Happy H.... SAL while watching this! It's a lot of fun and of course, I am enjoying yet another new start 😂

[@sewmesarah]

Yes, we have always loved the lakes and have many special memories there as a couple and as a family. Ambleside is touristy but it doesn’t take very long to get off the beaten track if you want to. Hope you are enjoying the latest HSC SAL, they are always lovely.

[@cotterillfamily7355]

You filmed this one on my birthday :) but I am a couple years ahead of you, 1972 vintage :) Congrats on the halfway point, I am sure the 2nd half will be just as varied and exciting! - take care, Nic x

[@kris_cross_stitches5748]

Another wonderful video. Love the pieces you will be started. I really enjoyed hearing about Charlotte want to read the comments. Can you imagine being regal enough to sit on a throne. That would be so exciting. The historical sampler patters are always so beautiful. Halloween stitching is my favorite to do. Happy stitching.😊

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks Kris. Yes, Charlotte was very interested in the comments folks left and I think she really enjoyed the interaction of it.

[@jeanmansfield1138]

Congratulations to Andrew for getting a job and in such a lovely area - good for his walking/running choices - but a shame for you it's across the Channel. Our daughter has always thanked us for her being independent as being a Nanny has meant she has late finishes and time off when friends are working so she is often travelling solo. The quilt show is held in May and a smaller one in October outside Malvern 😊. I hope you hear soon re: Charlotte's school. Let's hope we get summer weather for the school holidays!! You'll have had a lovely time moving your stash and discovering lost/forgotten items😂. You'll appreciate having more space - when you can find the time to enjoy it lol! Happy stitching🙂

[@sewmesarah]

Staying on the mainland is the right thing for career opportunities. I love Northern Ireland but can see that it’s just too small to offer the opportunities our young people need. At least I have a good excuse to visit somewhere I’ve never been before, and the quilt show is an added bonus😉 It has been lovely moving my cross stitch things and reorganising better, but it’s spreading out a bit and reminding me of just how much I actually have!

[@Lobirdie58]

Thank you for another great video! Your Charlotte is such a joy. I love watching your 50 in 50 starts. I imagine if I had done 65 in 65 this year 😮. I can’t wait to see what you come up with for Halloween 🎃.

[@sewmesarah]

I’m enjoying my 50 but glad I’m doing it this year and not leaving it until the number is bigger 😉🤣 I don’t enjoy Halloween so I don’t stitch for it. Once I did a little gift stitch for a friend who likes Halloween and I can see the appeal in stitching it, especially when there are so many fun charts around.

[@elizabethaston4434]

Always lovely to see you again,love seeing all your beautiful stitching. Halloween is always a fun time, and I enjoy doing some stitching for the season. Happy stitching 😊❤

[@jeancairns1825]

🙋Yep, we love Ambleside too; have lovely memories of trips to the Lakes when the children were young. Congratulations to Andrew and what a beautiful place for you to visit. So hope that school gets sorted for Charlotte soon. Great video. Happy stitching. Good bless.

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks Jean. Ambleside is just filled with memories of our life journey, and the bath buns help!

[@kathleenstroddentrail2798]

A lovely way to spend my Sunday morning, with my sweet friend Sarah! What lovely stitching. I know you felt like you didn’t get much done, but really, you had quite a little bit to show! All so pretty. I have been going back and forth with ordering that Historical Sampler Co Halloween Sampler. As you know, I don’t need another chart or another start, still……….😂. I feel for you with clearing Andrew’s room. Ah but you raised him to fly and he is. Take heart sweet friend. Thank you for taking time to make the video. 😘❤️

[@sewmesarah]

Andrew has always been very capable and independent natured and he is ready to step out into adult life now. We miss him terribly, of course, but he was always going to move away permanently. In career terms it’s absolutely the right move. NI just doesn’t have the opportunities. I just hope he remembers to call us once in a while and visit now and again. He’s not so great at that 🙄

[@louholder7012]

Lovely spending time catching up with your stitching!amazing how much stitching you & sally are getting through & seeing your plans. Hope you’ve had a lovely Father’s Day ! The Halloween chart looks fun! X

[@sewmesarah]

We had a lovely celebration lunch on Father’s Day. Charlotte loves an occasion, especially when there’s dessert!

[@lisaboban]

"No, that's not right. That's not about Charlotte." That story made my heart smile. As usual, your stitching us beautiful, inspiring, and very enabling!

[@sewmesarah]

She’s a character for sure😉

[@joanneneufeld8212]

Hi Sarah. What a great story about the Bridge House - I had never heard about that before. It sounds like a perfectly lovely vacation spot. You may not have got a lot of stitching in but you had a full flosstube of things to show and share!

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks Joanne. It’s such a beautiful spot right at the top of Lake Windermere. Thoroughly recommend a visit if you ever make it to England.

[@amywaters9621]

Thank you for sharing all your lovely projects. I've been looking for some stitchy zooms so I've just joined the Across the Pond group and I'm hoping to join the next call. I'm all kitted up ready for starting Barbara Ana's light on the 26th, looking forward to it.

[@sewmesarah]

Yay for joining us with Light on 26th! And maybe I’ll get to see you on the next Across the Pond Zoom!

[@debramckenzie266]

Thanks for sharing your vacation memories. I have a place like that in the North Carolina mountains. The Speckled Egg was my favorite Bakery. I am sure many stitchers are enjoying their memories now too. Always lovely stitching projects. Hello to Charlotte!

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you Debra. I’m so glad you enjoy my reminiscences. Those memories are the best.

[@rebeccajourney3183]

Always so enjoyable to spend time with you Sarah! After two 12-hour shifts caregiving a difficult 97 year old, you are the highlight of my weekend ❤❤

[@sewmesarah]

I don’t think I’ve ever been described as the highlight if anyone’s weekend Rebecca. 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll take it! I’m sure that those long care giving shifts are exhausting for you.

[@therockingchairstitcher]

I’m always excited to sit down with your latest flosstube 🥰 I enjoyed seeing your bridge house project and the story and photo with it!

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks Sarah. I was annoyed I could only find one photo. I know there are more over the years, but I’m wondering if they are older and actual hard copy pics that I’ve stored away🤔

[@therockingchairstitcher]

@@sewmesarah just a good reason to go back for more visits 🥰

[@RenewingStitches]

I enjoyed stitching with you this evening : ) Wonderful projects and oh I love the stories about Ambleside! I know it well, but just though Charlotte Mason. She was the inspiration for our homeschool curriculum. I have seen videos of people traveling there to see where she lived and worked. It's on my bucket list : ) I have Adore Him on my list of starts. July will be a great time to get it going! Thank you for sharing the border resource book. I have several books with alphabets and a few borders mixed in, but not one is just borders. What a find, thank you!

[@sewmesarah]

The border book is really lovely. I’m ashamed to say I had to go and look up Charlotte Mason on Google. For the many, many years I’ve been to Ambleside and the surrounding area I do not know why I haven’t heard of her. I did however have cause to use the health centre in Ambleside once and from what I’ve read that was on the site of the school she set up. The land and grounds are beautiful and I did think it rather grand for a health centre.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

It’s always lovely to get to spend time with you. ❤ ❤❤

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you my friend!

[@abibroderick373]

I love the Lake District too, Keswick and Derwentwater are my favourite places. I love seeing all your new starts and thanks for highlighting some new to me Barbara Ana designs I have not seem before. I love her designs! I have never stitched anything Halloween related but I’ve seen a few nice sals including historical sampler, so maybe this is the year I start!

[@sewmesarah]

Oh Keswick is a favourite of ours too and Derwentwater is so beautiful. I feel a holiday is needed now 😉.

[@annemarie6962]

Lovely to see you this afternoon Sarah. We're just back after an unplanned week in Somerset catching up with family & friends before life is interrupted for a few weeks over the summer. As a result I've been knitting rather than stitching. I'm so looking forward to getting back to the MFE 2024 SAL I can feel the finish approaching. Congratulations to your son, Malvern is a beautiful area with a great show grounds for the many shows held there annually. Love your stitching as always. The Blue Bird has stitched up really quickly 👏👏👏 For some mad reason, I decided to kit up 324 by Works by ABC. I kept seeing the pattern & I was intrigued by the idea of using 324 DMC colours. So I kitted it up, I only needed to add 19 colours to complete the list & I was able to get all but one in the UK this week. I was also able to get some 18ct white Aida for it as well. With all the colours I wanted something plain for the background. Don't know when I'll get to start it. Hope Charlotte's schooling gets sorted out before the end of term. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪

[@sewmesarah]

Congrats on only needing 19 colours to complete kitting up 324! That’s a success 😉 I agree that a plain background will work best with it. Glad you got some time with family.

[@amywyckhouse]

Loved hearing you memories of your vacation and special time that you were able to spend with your family. I went to the store a few days ago and it was full of Halloween decorations already.

[@sewmesarah]

Oh no! I am definitely not ready to see Halloween decorations yet!

[@susanbooth551]

I really enjoyed hearing your memory of your holidays spent at the bridge and got me started on our own family memories on this Father’s Day in North Carolina. You also brought back memories of when my son began his new life after school which eventually brought him to Ireland…as he lived and worked as the lead medical orthopedic person for Riverdance in Dublin for several years. We were able to visit him for two weeks about 30 years ago and travelled all over your beautiful country! Great memories! The new Halloween chart looks really cute and I’d love to stitch it! I love how you’re making great, continued progress on your 50…it’s inspired me to start a few more of my own! 💕

[@sewmesarah]

Wow Susan, that’s amazing that your son worked with Riverdance in Dublin. I hope he enjoyed his time in Ireland and I’m glad you got to visit too. I love the special memories place can evoke for us.

[@barbhanson1756]

I loved seeing Charlotte in the previous video, and hearing about her reactions to the messages. There was no doubt in my mind that the house on the bridge holds a special place in your heart. I'm glad that Andrew is finding his way in the world, though wish that he would have been closer to you. I am fortunate that my four kids all live within 40 kms to us. Halloween will be here before we know it unfortunately.

[@sewmesarah]

Oh that’s so lovely that your children aren’t so far away from you. Truthfully, Northern Ireland is just too small to offer the employment opportunities our young people need so it’s the right move in that respect but yes, my mama’s heart wishes he were a little closer. But, on the plus side he’s moving to a very pretty area of England I haven’t visited before and now I’ll have an excuse to go there!

[@kitmar1667]

Always such a pleasure watching every one of your episodes! Your starts are all so delightful to see. I'll be starting Barbara Ana along with you & Sally. Christmas & Halloween are my stitchy plans for the rest of June & all of July! That Halloween box looks fabulous!!

Sarah…I so understand…my husband and I are having a week at the beach in July for the first time in twenty years because our youngest just couldn’t handle any sort of change in daily life. How lovely that your son is maturing so nicely…and a musician! So many lovely starts coming up that I will check out. Stitching for Halloween may be among the Christmas stitches.

[@sewmesarah]

Yes, my son is a trombonist and loves the community and connection he finds through music. University has given him great opportunities to continue playing for the jazz band and the theatre orchestra. He loves to be busy! I hope he can find somewhere new to continue his music when he moves across country. I really hope you and your husband have a fabulous beach break Karen. I know you deserve it!

[@sewmesarah]

I am having so much fun with the 50 starts and encourage you to give your 40 starts a go. It does take a little pre-planning for supplies but the way I approached it was knowing I didn’t have to have it fully kitted with threads, just enough threads for my two nights of a start. Then I can add to the threads through the year if it’s a project I’m going to keep working on. Have fun with it, and make it work in a way that suits you!
