[@loriirons9503]

Hi Sarah! Thank you for sharing all your lovely stitches at your cabin home. I loved the cranes, as well as the tribal stitches and all of them really! I remember those light switch covers, I used to have a few back in the 80's! Wish I had them to do now! ☺

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! You may be able to find them on eBay 😊

[@peggymartinez5350]

Thank you for sharing your lovely stitched pieces.😊

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@kckoehler1766]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful stitches & those of your dad too. Have fun at camp.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much! 🤗

[@missylucas9449]

Those stitches are all gorgeous, but I love the lighthouse

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Glad you like them! ❤️

[@cherylrichards8951]

Sarah, I found the pdf pattern of the four cats on Etsy. I liked your so much I bought it! Thanks for the episode. It's always interesting to see how the stitchery is framed and you taught me to keep important information with the piece so I can mark the framed work afterwords. Thanks to you, I will include the pattern name, designer, fabric and floss information, as well as frame information. I really enjoy watching your Flosstube channel, and I'm glad Stuart is getting better.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thanks so much! Frame info is great way to brag “from the dump” or “$2 at the thrift store”😂I love thrifty finds!! Stuart was on Demon mode this morning. New scratches to my leg as he tried to climb. Still learning 🤦🏼‍♀️❤️🥰

[@marilynr2738]

What a beautiful collection. Your frame choices are amazing!😊

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thanks so much! ❤

[@thefarmonhighwayj]

Oh my gosh! Those light switches, how cool! And what adorable fur babies! We have two dogs and two cats and the other day they were all outside together each laying on their side, in a row, all facing the same direction! If only i could have got a picture!!! 🐕 🐈 😊

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Love those Awwwwww moments ❤

[@kimdavison9223]

So much fun to see all your camp finishes❤❤❤

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you😊

[@j.a.devanney7523]

Enjoyed your camp review, loved them all. Glad Stewart is doing well.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

@@j.a.devanney7523 Thank you! 😊 We’re so relieved ❤️

[@jeanmartin6471]

Your camp stitches are beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing them. Watching your videos is like having tea visiting with a friend. The fur babies are so sweet together! Just chilling together without a care in the world. People need to take lesson from them.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

There is definitely something calming about watching them enjoy the world ❤Thank you

[@deborahgoethe362]

Very beautiful stitching! Thank you for sharing?

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thanks for watching

[@kimdreamweaver]

You make my day girl!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

@@kimdreamweaver Awwwww🤗

[@sidewalkpirate23]

Oh what gorgeous cross stitch pieces! Also, the steer in the mirror has an utter lol. It is a cow. Both cows and Steers can have horns. Cows usually have horns if their mother had horns. It is an inherited trait.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Oops😂I’ll have to look at more closely 😂

[@margaretkrueger9664]

Hi Sarah, Camping out in my trailer with my baby Nala girl, today while we get new windows installed in our home. Just a stitching and watching movies and KZbin. It's such a pleasure to see all your beautiful stitching both what you have done and also what has been given to you and you've found. Especially the lighthouse you found. Have fun at the cabin. Stewart and Abby look chilled. 🥰

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

We miss our trailer! Pulled one to camp for years before we decided on a build ❤snuggly and fun! Thanks for your kind words and support 🤗

[@Griffinand3]

Thank you so much for sharing the stitch at Camp! it was all so beautiful! I am so happy the kitten is doing better! Great video!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much❤

[@DianeHollon-i2q]

Such wonderful stitches!! Thank you for sharing these!! The Lavender in the basket with the bees is a DMC! I'm working on it right now! Soooo cute! I'm gonna order the monarch butterfly! I lovvve it!!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

😮I thought it was DMC! Does it have a name? ❤

[@DianeHollon-i2q]

@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher this a copy that I got from you a few years ago and on top it says Lavender cards

[@dianemcclure6884]

So much fun, thank you for sharing!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! Have a great week!

[@moosemom2010]

Love seeing all your beautiful finishes! Glad Stuart is feeling better.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much! He sure is and we are soooo relieved ❤️

[@lisamaestas6642]

What a great way to spend some time, Sarah! Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful pieces, so special that you have those that were your dad's. Love the pictures of Abby and Stuart ~ so sweet that they have become such friends.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much! This is why we tolerate the kitten antics.🥹Just when we’re ready to pull our hair out we have that Awwwww moment. They are so bonded ❤️🥰

[@lynntyler6131]

Loved your video. Now I 😅need to take all my pictures down. I don't have your wonderful collection of cross stitch.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Not doing it at home. Scary. Camp was fun though ❤

[@Linda_James]

On the apples it just looks like shading/shadow. Your stitches are beautiful 🤩 thank you for sharing ❤

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you for that! I tried to fix the bleed but decided the same. It’s a nice effect ❤

[@robinwatson6651]

Thank you for sharing,I really enjoyed seeing all the cross stitch ,all different and all amazing. I always look forward to your video,great start to my week 😊❤

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much! 🤗Glad you watch so often ❤️

[@stampincass]

Loved seeing all your finished stitches! I still want to do that riolis 🍓 but waiting till I build my skills!😂 i really loved that blueberry lightswitch. And the angry bluebird!! I've got to find him... and the dimensions 4 bird one....

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Added to your pile I see😂❤

[@KellyGreen-io8js]

Thank you for sharing your camp stitches it was fun to see! What a joy for you to have your father’s cross stitch, that is so special. 😊

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I’m very happy and he had so many that family has a few as well❤😊

[@sandyevenson-hagen370]

What wonderful treasures you have decorating your camp. Having so many projects stitched by your Dad is so special. Love the pictures of Stuart and Abby that you shared, they’re living their best life. 🐾♥️🐾

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much! They are very well cared for and 🥰 loved.

[@JanetOrr2455]

It is a cow! Cows can have horns. Plus she has an udder. Love, your Iowa friend

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

@@JanetOrr2455 yes, yes, you are now the 12th person to tell me to look out back and not just up front! 😂

[@dianeperkins7229]

That was fun! Love the piece with the cats, and of course all the birds too. I have a mug with the same bluebird on it. So cute. Glad Stuart is doing well. How cute are the two of them together!!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I thought someone would recognize that bluebird! He’s such a cute fussy pants!😂. Thanks for watching ❤

[@sueb1828]

Enjoyed seeing your stitching. Also, happy to hear Stuart is recovering well. TFS.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you 😊

[@marylynnlucas3918]

I enjoy all the older pieces. I have some of the ones you showed. Right now I am working on Halloween stuff. I want a spooky tree this year so I have to get some ornaments stitched up for that.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I’ve kitted up some Halloween too👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@deehansen5490]

You have some wonderful stitched pieces that you and your dad did! How special to have a place to come to and see these goodies! Thanks for sharing!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you. Every time we’re there it’s like visiting old friends ❤

[@normaferro3190]

[@kathleensharin9947]

This was great. Now you have the fun of getting them back on the walls!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

It was like tucking the children in 😂❤

[@stitchingbytheriver8666]

Just a wonderful video chalked with so much. Loved the way you finish your projects with your own framing. ❤

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much! This has motivated me to get some more framed in my pile👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@carolm.6072]

What a great video, thank you for rounding up all those beautiful pieces to show!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@beachgirl681]

So glad little Stuart is doing so well and has retired the cone of shame. All your stitched pieces are gorgeous. Love your cabin. I really like the pottery fish on the wall behind you. Have fun up there.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! Maybe next time I’m there I’ll pull out all my emergency stash there 😏A girrrrrl should be ready for anything

[@connieverbeck1110]

What a wonderful video! You are prolific.. such a variety!! So glad you shared. Love that you are so regular in posting too. Take care and enjoy your stitching time!!!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you for that! Glad you enjoy the channel ❤

[@brendamaxwell7962]

Love seeing your treasures, some from your dad how precious. They are all beautiful.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! Need more wall space for the rest of the pile to be framed ❤

[@lindameeks5228]

Stuart and dog are bff's, just love it. I reall enjoyed seeing all of your fabulous stitching at the camp. Favorite pics were of fur babies side by side looking out the windows. Thank you so much for sharing

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! I’ll be glad when this little squirrel monkey calms down. I’m so full of scratches from his playfulness and endless energy. Daily blood lettings 😂 Their bond is so adorable though and we couldn’t be happier for our pup Abby. She was so lonely 😢

[@KayeTaylorE]

You're so lucky to have 2 houses to cover in cross stitch. I've mostly run out of wall space although I recently added a utility room. My granddaughter looked at it and said "Granny you can hang some cross stitch right here". A child after my own heart. Loved seeing all your stitching. I think the cow may be from Cross Stitch and Country Crafts.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I think you’re right! The magazine rings a bell. I’ll start in that pile for the name❤Thank you. My pile of “To be framed” is awful. Will have to get more crates to do rotations of stitches 😅

[@KayeTaylorE]

Look in the March/April 1992 issue.

[@deborahmistark9386]

The apple and pear are kits from Bucilla and are Linda Byrd designs. I've raised and released Monarchs for years and have held off on the winged monarch kit for years...I truly regret that seeing yours "in person". It's stunning! The Bee Calm... is from Teresa Kogut. It was a freebie at the Nashville 2020 market.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you!!!! I will make them proper now👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I can only say those monarch kits are definitely stunning when done❤thanks so much for the info 🤗

[@AmniconStudio]

It was so fun to see all your past projects! Thanks for sharing. The one photo of Stuart snuggling up to your pup was adorable!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

They make our hearts melt daily 🥹❤

[@carolpharaon5918]

I've done quite a few of the Tribal patterns. They are so much fun to do. You should try one sometime.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I have an anchor in a wannado pile❤

[@sandraskonieczny746]

Sarah, All of your finishes are awesome, what a fun video thank you. Today is our 52nd wedding anniversary , I've known my husband since I was 13 now I'm 76. He's a wonderful man. Have a good week. We are having our roof replaced today, due to hail damage, next week the siding.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

We did our roof last year. Abby was NOT a fan of all the noise. Hope they’re quick about it! Wish I’d known my sweetie as long…❤Happy Anniversary 🤗

[@stampincass]

What a sweet legacy! Did you like him from the beginning? I bet your love story is such a joy to hear!

[@dianemckoon7808]

Ok...I have to commit on the cow cross stitch .... That is a COW.. dairy cow she has udders. Just because they have horns doesn't mean they are a steer or Bull. Just a lesson for today. It was fun looking at all the crossstitch pieces. Take care

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

@@dianemckoon7808 that’s what I get for looking at the front and not the back 😂

[@ericafrazer6567]

Hi Sarah, I found the Chickadee pattern. It is in a Stoney Creek collection titled Encore, Natural Wonders, Jeanette Crews Designs #8106 from 1999. The pattern is called Chickadees. Hope that helps. Have a wonderful day😊

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

@@ericafrazer6567 WOW! Thank you so much!!! I recognize the chart. Haven’t a clue where it is in my stash but so grateful that you found it!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Thank you❤️

[@SessionMom]

Love your camp collections. Really love the apples and pears. Probably too late now but I've had good luck getting rid of bleeds with peroxide on a Q tip dabbed into the bleed. Your "steer" looks like a cow with an udder. Cows do have horns. The Bee Calm pattern is a freebie Teresa Kogut Creative Whims. I think it was 2020. The chickadees look familiar and I think you are right that it came from a magazine. Love the green pillow with the cabin and of course, your fur babies sleeping together! Best to you.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! I did try the peroxide method and it improved it but I’m also pretty happy with the effect of the shadow 😊Thanks for the info!! I’ll look for the birds❤

[@SessionMom]

@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher oh good! The bleed does give it a bit of an aura!

[@CrossStitcherTX]

What a wonderful tour of you and your dad’s older stitches. I hope when I kick the bucket that someone like you rescues my stitches. ❤ The lighthouse rescue is gorgeous. I had to get Mad Bird after seeing yours. He’s absolutely adorable. Opening a bag of chips while you’re filming is so like a man. 🤣 Must love Stuart’s shenanigans. 😊

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Had to go to the doctor today and they always do an assessment/questionnaire: “Do you feel safe at home?”. I should’ve responded with “Not really, we have a kitten”. My legs and arms are all scratched up with his antics. Glad you liked the video ❤

[@CrossStitcherTX]

Bahahahahaha! Maybe next time you can say it. 😁 Kitten nails can be lethal. Or it seems that way. 🐈

[@DeeAZstitcher]

I might be a Crossed Wing Collection design from the "Gone Birding" booklet. Fun Video.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I wish I had all my CWC charts in one area. May be another organization to start. ☺️ Thank you

[@jackandbonniebreuer554]

Cows can have horns too. Especially some kinds of dairy cows. You can’t milk a steer.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

😂I looked up front but not out back

[@melson1534]

BEE well from Teresa Kolgut Creative Whims

Is your dog part Boston?

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

We were told that, yes! Boston terrier and pittie. She’s short so we call her Short Stack❤
