[@marshakruze6056]

So many beautiful pieces of stitched art! Not 1 HRH but 3 and another on the wall. A Chatelaine-1 of 3! Lots of beauties tucked away. You are an amazing stitcher. Thanks for all the eye candy.

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Marsha!!

[@madelaine3209]

I never like stitching until I saw your work. You have inspired me to make a project. THANK YOU!!!!!!!! You have given me a precious gift.

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Madeleine! I hope stitching brings you as much joy and peace as it brings me :)

[@mrsmiggins6435]

An absolute joy to see all your under the bed box finished projects Brenda😁💖💐. You chose such wonderful patterns on which to stitch. Thank you for showing us. Stay safe🤗 and I look forward to your next video🤗

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Angela!!

[@jenniferrahm3600]

Late to the party! How fantastic hearing how you got started and for sharing all the beauty and fun things you've stitched. I remember going into a cross stitch store in Provo when I was 16 and my jaw dropped. I didn't know so many patterns existed! And now, it's this amazing community and so many patterns, and we connect and laugh and build lasting memories, all because we love to put needle and thread to fabric. Blessings!

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Jennifer!

[@PegC52]

Such beautiful stitching and listening to the history was wonderful. Exactly why I stitch -- each piece holds a memory.

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Peg!!! Yes, each piece brings back so many memories :)

[@tanyawilson853]

Wow, it was awesome to see your stitched pieces, each one is really lovely but I particularly loved the one with the houses and bird houses. That is a pattern that 'speaks to me' .... stunning. Thank you for sharing your stitching with us, your work is beautiful.

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Nicole! That is a beautiful chart. It is called "Maisons et Nichoirs" by a mon ami Pierre.

[@loriholmes8705]

Thank You Kay :)

[@conniejlarsen4416]

Hey cousin! So many beautiful stitches! I should have as many pieces in my box, but I rarely keep anything I make. I give many away as gifts...😁. Your work is beautiful and you are a stitching maniac...this the name!!!😁😁😁

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Connie! I love that you make so many things for other people :) And my husband would definitely agree, a maniac.

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Barbie Jo!

[@juliewright1304]

Omg the band sampler with the little Christmas tree at the top is just so beautiful. So many stunning pieces. You really need to get some of those projects fully finished. I also have a huge stack of finishes that are not fully finished and I have now finally started getting some ffo’d. It makes me so happy to see the newly fully finished items displayed around my home. Jx

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Julie! Yes, I am working on getting them fully finished, a few at a time :) They are so fun to enjoy when they are out and displayed :)

[@juliewright1304]

@@Handworkmaniac me too I wish I was clever enough to frame my own as the framing is pricey but so worth it jx

[@kimedge7493]

That is Victoria Sampler's Heirloom Christmas Sampler by Thea Dueck. I know because I hung mine up in our living room last week :)

[@charlenereeder8317]

Just found you and wonder why I missed you all this time. So enjoyable. Brought a lot of memories as I’ve been stitching 40+years now too!

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Charlene!

[@sharenbrewer9611]

Brenda, so unbelievable your stitching ! Please please give some thought in gifting your pieces to others. The under the bed box is not the place for your Awsome creations. Every lady in this world would love them. You are an encouragement to me in my meager stitching ! Thanks for sharing !

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Sharen! That is a great idea :)

[@shinglespringsstitcher]

Your UBB’s are just stunning works of art. I’m with Long Dawg Samper! Get that Kringles piece on the wall!

Those stockings are absolutely gorgeous! I subscribed at the same time, but never got up the nerve to cross stitch them.

Thank you for sharing. You started stitching about the same time I did, but I stopped for several years (more than 20) and only got back into it July 2020. Love seeing all your beautiful finishes.

Hi Mary Ann!! So glad you are stitching again!! :)

[@tinafisher]

What wonderful finishes, thank you so much for sharing!

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Sarah!

[@maybee...]

Your "Evening in the Park" is gorgeous!!! I had to pause and go look it up, it is still available with updates also available. The pattern is sold in 12 increments for 40.00 euros ea. Obviously an overseas company. The design was first introduced in 2005 as a mystery stitch.

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You May!!!! I stitched it when it was a mystery and it was so exciting to get each part in my email each month. Martina Weber was the designer and was German. She has since passed away, but her daughter still sells her patterns :)

[@Pheasant-wy3cg]

All beautiful pieces 😍😍can’t even pick a favourite! Your so clever doing all the speciality stitches and not one Chatelaine but three!! 🤩x

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You!!! Martina created such beautiful patterns :)

[@lavalor9865]

Thank You Carol!

[@Suzeeduzee1]

I came across your channel today. You do beautiful stitching! We have several things in common, an under the bed box of finished stitching, we are around the same age (I have to stop and think about how old I am too.), live in Utah, and had the same hangouts in the 80's, which were Diane's Cross Stitch and Heintzelman's. I loved going there just to browse and search for the perfect project. I am amazed at all your stitching, in the early 2000's somehow I became more of a pattern collector than actually stitching. And I think I have a few projects in what you call "stitching prison." I will keep watching your videos and pretty sure you have motivated me to at least check on my decade old WIP's. My current WIP is the Game Board Sampler... I have one house left too do. Its been waiting a very long time to be finished. Thanks inspiring me. :)

[@Handworkmaniac]

Hi Susan!!! So happy to meet another stitcher from my same era, lol!! One house left!!!!! Are you done yet? I hope so :) I find that my oldest WIPs are usually still around for a good reason. There was something I didn't enjoy about them. So I like to switch off stitching on them with new projects that I like better :) I hope you get some lovely stitching time today :)

[@kathygerhart7979]

Your work is beautiful 😍 Thank you for sharing, so inspiring

[@rosebudstitcher2780]

What an enjoyable video. I enjoyed hearing your stitching journey mine is very similar though I am a year older and started earlier in high school. But seeing your old finishes and under the bed brought back lots of memories of seeing the same designs. Blessings and merry Christmas

LOL, so glad I am not the only one!! Thank You :)

[@colleenhenderson8302]

Wow! You are an amazing stitcher. If you haven’t done so in one of your previous videos, I would very much like to see where you stitch. How you organize your materials around you while stitching, your chair your lights all that kind of stuff. I struggle with organization. It seems like I think I have everything I need but when I sit down to start stitching I always have to jump up and go get some little thing I’ve missed. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@Handworkmaniac]

Thank You Colleen!!! I think Video #19 would show you how I set up my stitching area :)

[@bluekitty3731]

Thank you for sharing your stories and projects, Ive been sewing most of my life ( I'm 62!) I've been quilting since 1975 but I also knit and machine embroider. I x stitched a bit in the early 90 but I gave it up as raising three children took up a lot of my time and by the time at night I would sit to xstitch I was too tired to concentrate on a xstitch chart! Also at the time the available designs just weren't my style, I love the antique designs of samplers and more muted colors and I couldn't find anything I liked. So jump forward to last year I decided to take up xstitch again to deal with my stress and anxiety of the pandemic(my mother told me to stop yelling at the TV!), and the news, and because now so much is available online Ive been discovering all of the antique sample designs and beautiful overdyed thread that I've dreamed about 25 years ago! Im a slow stitcher so it will be years before I get all of the things done I want to do but I'm loving stitching and learning about xstitch from flosstubes.

[@Handworkmaniac]

Hello! I'm so glad you have found Cross Stitch again, and all that is available now :) It has brought me much peace as well during this stressful few years!

[@mrsbobbinlacer]

[@nancyespenshade7103]

I'm very interested in the namesake sampler that you put the B up in left-hand corner. All your work is so beautiful. I'm just getting back into stitching. I had the privilege of taking care of my Mother the last 7 years until her passing this year. She is so missed. So I'm trying to stitch and quilt to cope with my loss.

[@Handworkmaniac]

Oh Nancy, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad stitching is bringing you some peace. The blue namesake sampler I showed is called "Namesake Sampler" and is by "My Big Toe Designs". You should be able to find it at an online cross stitch store, or ask your local needlework store to order it for you :)
