Hi Andrew! Donner is so pretty, I love him. I have all of the reindeers, the sleigh and Winter White Santa. I am working on Santa right now and I am loving it. The more you work on your Evertote advent the more beautiful it gets. I can’t wait to see it finished. I might have to get there advent box next year. I love Celine Dion. I was able to see her concert when she was playing at Cesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. It was absolutely amazing it was well worth every penny. There was so much going on, on the stage that I would have liked to have gone again just to see what all I had missed. She is an amazing performer. She wasn’t just singing she was also dancing along with everyone on the stage. She even picked a little girl from the audience and sat with her and sang a song to her😢. It was so precious. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow ❤❤❤❤

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thank you so much! Oooh Winter White Santa is a great piece!! I love that you've got them all. That is amazing you saw Celine in Vegas! I always wished I could have. Sounds like an incredible experience and concert! Glad you got to enjoy that!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Wow, Donner looks fabulous. Happy jingle, jingle, my friend.

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thank you Sarah! Wait until tomorrow :)

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

@ I can’t wait!!!

[@judemack8604]

A very happy birthday to your mom.

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thanks so much!

[@stitchinginthemuseum]

Happy bday, Andrew's mom! I hope she is having a good day. I love that she sends you all cookies. Such a lovely tradition. Personally I love the full look of 2x2 on 36ct fabric. I usually only stitch 1x2 if the stitches look too tight with 2x2. Donner looks great. Make a note that all your tails need to be 2x2 for the rest of his friends' patterns. Have a good weekend 😊

[@therunnerstitcher]

It is a great tradition and I love eating them ha. I think 2 x 2 is what I'm leaning towards for that piece. Thank you for the input. I'm glad you're enjoying Donner! You're right they will all need to be 2 x 2 for the tails. Happy stitching!

[@neilstephen6761]

Thank you for a great video.Happy stitching

[@therunnerstitcher]

[@robinb6281]

Hi Andrew , loving these videos. Thanks for sharing all your good stuff. I shared chocolate with you today. Yum 😋 till tomorrow! Coffee on me!

[@therunnerstitcher]

Hi Robin! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos! I do really love sharing them with you (chocolate included). That is SO kind of you. I really do appreciate that so much.

[@Aspen_stitcher]

Happy birthday to your beautiful Mom! Love the last two floss colors from evertote. !

[@therunnerstitcher]

thank you! I love those two colors too!

[@suecollura5524]

Happy Birthday to your Mom! My birthday is coming up on the 17th, we are fellow December babies! The Celine Dion Christmas album is a favorite, on replay with Nora Jones this season. Happy stitching!

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thank you! Yay for December babies! Those are both great albums for this season! Happy stitching!

[@KimFallis-rp4ur]

This is so beautiful 😊

[@therunnerstitcher]

Aww thank you so much!

[@nolamcneely7857]

Hello from Tennessee! It was wonderful to see you today and has been absolutely delightful to share my morning stitching with you every day this month! I'll have severe withdrawals next month😂😂😂. So the hubby and I watch all the Lord of the rings movies during Thanksgiving so I started the Hobbit House. 36ct (not called for linen... I decided to go rogue 😅) and one strand over 2. I'm going to start the Santa House on Christmas Day 😀. Thank you for your vlogmas videos. Love you bunches!

[@therunnerstitcher]

Hello! Oh good I'm so glad you're enjoying the morning stitching with these videos this month! Oh good to know you used 1 strand. Are you happy with the coverage? Exciting to start Santa's house! :)

[@carlenehall2979]

Andrew you are doing a great job on Donner, I hope you get him finished today! I only stitch on 16 or 18 aida with 2 strands so can’t advise on that one! Happy Birthday to your Mom!

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thank you so much! I think I am going to go with 2 strands :)

[@StitchinwLoo]

Hope your mom is having a wonderful birthday weekend! Awww the sweatshirt! Reminds me of flosstube #1! Happy stitching Andrew! 🐈‍⬛🪡❤️

[@therunnerstitcher]

Really takes you back to where it all began huh? haha

[@cherylportnoy398]

Happy Birthday to your Mom! My son’s birthday was yesterday…he turned 30. Which I don’t know how that’s possible since I’m only 29 🧐😂. Have a great day Andrew!

[@therunnerstitcher]

So many great birthdays in December!! haha yeah somehow 30 comes so quickly! :)

[@sandragrasdock6377]

Happy Birthday to your Mom 🎉 way to burn through that Krynik 😅 Great job with Donner 🦌 I love one strand on 36 count but it is definitely a personal choice ! I don’t like thread that looks to bulky they bother me when they don’t lay orderly lol

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thank you! Yes he sure used a lot of that stuff! I know what you mean about bulky thread. I think I'm going to try 2 strands and hope for the best ha.

[@madgrandma]

I always use 2 strands on 36 (or 18ct aida). Looks so nice and full. Donner looks great

[@therunnerstitcher]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@DeeAZstitcher]

For a small on 36-ct I'd do 2 strands of floss, as long as the weave is not too tight, and the floss is able to glide through the holes. I mostly prefer 1 strand on 36, but I think this design needs to show the colors more intense.

[@therunnerstitcher]

I agree too that this pattern needs to have the colors more clear and full. I'm leaning towards the 2 strands.

[@berthalutters1615]

You are so sweet and I am crossing my fingers for Donner. You go!!

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thank you so much!!

[@tracyshrode9047]

Hi, im waiting on my floss to come in to start the Santa House. I have it ready to go in my chair.

[@therunnerstitcher]

Yay! That's exciting! It's going to be so much fun to stitch up!

[@toenikern6914]

I was so excited to see that you were wearing your sweatshirt that you stitched! That was the first thing that I noticed. Happy birthday to your mom 🎉 Will you be visiting them for the holidays this year? I also noticed that Winston seemed a little move energetic this morning. Maybe he got to sleep in? Thank you for sharing your stitching! Looking forward to seeing Donner with all of their beads!

[@therunnerstitcher]

:). Glad you enjoyed the sweatshirt! I won't be going over the holidays but likely in the spring when it's a bit warmer :). Yes Winston wasn't quite so tired ha. I think he likes the weekend schedule too. Happy stitching!

[@raggedygene1770]

Donner is so majestic - beautiful stitching!!

[@therunnerstitcher]

I am so glad you like it!

[@barbaraburdett9594]

Stitching with one or two strands of floss also depends on what fabric your using because all 36 count fabrics are woven differently.

[@therunnerstitcher]

That's a great point! I think I'm leaning towards 2 strands on this one.

[@RomainCalmandKeepStitchin-w2z]

Hi Andrew, it's Jyl Romain using my new youtube channel. Didn't want you to think I left. I listened to Josh Grobin as you suggested. Great album and such a powerful voice. Happy Birthday Mom! 🎂

[@therunnerstitcher]

Hi Jyl! Glad you're still around! I'm happy you enjoyed the album!

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Hi Andrew…can you check the dresses of the headless cheerleaders for stitches? I loved seeing the motifs in a row…I do think a project bag could be quite fun with these. 🦉🎄🎅🏼🧑🏼‍🎄

[@therunnerstitcher]

Yes I totally missed them when I was first looking at the pattern, but I saw them later. haha. Thank you!

[@tinacarlile6126]

Donner looks amazing. Are you going to finish the matchbox pieces as ornaments? I think 2 strands for Santa's House will be great. As you said, it will look fuller.

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thank you! Not sure how I will finish the matchbox pieces yet. Still tossing around ideas ha.

[@MichaelQPowell]

I love your sweatshirt, Andrew, and how you stitched one for you and one for your Mom. Did you use waste canvas or soluble canvas? Donner looks great. I am amazed at how fast you have (almost) completed it.

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thank you so much! I used water soluble canvas for the sweatshirts. Highly recommend! I'm excited for Donner too. Hopefully getting the beads done today!

[@9001012]

Congratulations on beautiful Donner ! Your mom must be proud, where does she live ?

[@therunnerstitcher]

Thank you so much! She does love the sweatshirt :). She is in Florida!

[@9001012]

@@therunnerstitcher So do I !! Does she stitch ?

[@dianemanion7200]

After watching your videos I think it would be fun to do an advent calendar. How did you find out about it?

[@therunnerstitcher]

It is a really fun idea! I have had other advent calendars in the past but never a cross stitch one. I heard about the one through Evertote last year around January or February. I knew I loved Modern Folk Embroidery patterns so I took a chance and ordered it! There's a lot out there though.
