I am loving your fabric choices, bags, and of course patterns and stitching! I have a list to shop for now 😂

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! That’s the danger of a WIP parade! 😂

[@MoniMerel]

Thank you for this super long video. I discovered this morning that I had a broken tooth, luckily I was able to go straight to the dentist today, who repaired it. And then I could enjoy watching your WIPs. So extra thanks!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Yikes! So glad you were able to get that fixed. Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@MichellePetersen-j7e]

Loved all your projects! Keep chipping away Sarah!😊

Awesome video. Such beautiful WIPs

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you so much Catherine! ❤️

[@stacy0304]

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful WIPs! I am never going to be a sampler stitcher, but it is inspiring to see all of your large pieces and creative fabric choices. You have such a great eye for color! Thanks for sharing!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Stacy! I’m glad you can appreciate and enjoy my WIPs, even if it’s not something you would stitch yourself. 😊

[@olhak7063]

Great video, watched the whole thing! I love all your WIPs. (I also watched your kits video.) I’m mostly working on dimensions kits and kits similar to that. It’s inspiring to watch your videos and try new things! Thank you for posting!❤ I plan to binge watch the rest of your videos!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! ❤️

[@sutherngal71]

I do enjoyed your WIP parade, love seeing all the owls, I love owls too! Also, I wanted to share this thought about the magnifying light, I look at like this, I use it to help me stitch better, faster and prettier 😂😂when I can see it better plus it helps not make my eyes worse❤. Can't imagine if I couldn't see, and not stitch 😢 So get your light out and rock it gurl! ❤❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

Will do! ❤️

[@sharonpetterson478]

Best ever wip parade,fantastic! Great choice of charts,lovely stitching and oh how I loved seeing all your project bags. Didn't t find the video too long at all,nor too fast. Thank You.

I enjoyed seeing all your WIPs and project bags. I just recieved a project bag from your mom. It was the beach one. I love it!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Kathy! I’m glad you’re loving the beach bag you got from my mom! ❤️

[@kathyaufman1016]

Thanks for the great mid-year WIP parade, you have beautiful projects! Stop beating yourself up on your progress on them, progress is progress and you at least have some stitches in them! Your teacher is showing with how organized your WIPs are!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Kathy! I do like to keep things organized…especially my craft room and my classroom! 😊

[@debbiek4559]

So many gorgeous projects! I hope you get a lot of progress during your summer break!

Loved your Wip parade, Sara! Your projects are amazing. The floss and fabric is just gorgeous! Definitely gave me some ideas!!!! The Blue Moon project just stays in my mind when I see your progress on it! So pretty! Thanks for sharing your time and talent! Happy stitching!❤️

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Maureen! ❤️

[@MicStitchesinIndiana]

Hello Sarah! Thank you for sharing all your WIPS! LOVED seeing them - perfect video to have playing while I canned this afternoon. And you added to my WIP lists - lol!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Glad I could keep you company while you were canning! ❤️

[@bernadettekok4079]

Never too long. Great video and great enabler. Thank you for doing these videos.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Bernadette! ❤️

[@bethanyrutta2377]

Beautiful wips and I love seeing bags just as much! I’m stitching Alice in Wonderland by OFE too. It’s so fun! Love all your samplers too!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

I really want to get back to that one soon!

[@kayhelland9599]

WOW!! I loved this video. Your WIPs are amazing. I admire your bravery in sharing all your WIPs. The fact that you have that many just speaks to your creativity and your need to express it. Never apologize for being creative. I loved this video so much. You inspire me to focus on some of my BIG WIPs which has helped me make good progress. Your fabric choices are absolutely yummy. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Kay! Hope you can make some progress on your big projects! ❤️

[@CorpusChristiCrossStitcher]

Enjoyed your WIP parade. I also like The Blue Flower designer and her focus on nature. Lovely projects and impressive bag collection! ~Michele

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Michele! ❤️

[@jessicakorthals4825]

I love watching your WIP parades. Thanks for sharing all of your stitches with us!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Jessica! ❤️

[@flowerandlinen]

Fabulous WIP parade. Love all of your projects. Thank you for sharing

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@karenmarasia8]

Just watched your whole WIP parade. You have such gorgeous projects and your stitching is perfect! I jotted down the names of quite a few of them. Love, love, love all the project bags.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Karen!

[@paulamcmellon6171]

What a great WIP parade!! Your projects are beautiful and I loved seeing them all. I love how you took pieces of projects you decided to start over and created something using what you had already stitched! I must remember that. I can’t wait to see what you finish and look forward to your next video. ❤❤❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Paula! ❤️

[@scrappychickcyndi]

I did stay til The end, but it took me a few days of pause and restart LOL. So many beautiful WIPs, as always. Sarah, you are a joy to watch!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks for watching the whole thing Cyndi! It was a long one for sure! ❤️

[@aimeezellers814]

You inspire me to start more. I have about 5 wips and about 40 kitted. Time to start those kits!

[@kathyharris7158]

Thank you for taking the time to show us your wips. I’m glad you showed the bags too. I love pretty project bags. Great inspiration for some fun stitching.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Kathy! ❤️

[@megastitches]

❤❤❤ wow Sarah! Soooo many cute patterns ! Love Nature by Teresa and forest 😮😮😮 I’ve sent some new friends your way! And they are just amazed 😊

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you my dear friend! ❤️

[@fransturgeon4970]

What a wonderful video. It was so organized. I loved every WIP you showed. I want to see all of them fully finished (sorry, but I can't just pick one). Sarah don't beat yourself up over how many WIPS you have or the fact you don't have much stitching done on them. The answer to your question about why you do this is because you want to stitch it alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll! Every die hard stitcher loves to start stitching new designs that they can't resist. Thanks for taking the time to share and will be looking forward to all 72 fully finishes!!!!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks for the encouragement Fran! I finished two of my WIPs a couple of days after my video, so I’m already lowering my WIP count! 😉

[@starlightstitchingco6752]

Such a fun WIP parade! So many beautiful projects! Good luck choosing what to stitch on from your select pile.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! ❤️

[@jennyfifield8452]

I absolutely love your parade. Love long ones, I got a lot of inspiration from you. Thank you so much ❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Jenny! ❤️

[@brigettebell5814]

I love watching your channel. You do such wonderful work. I love that you have that many wips. I think it’s great. You love everything like I do! Keep up the good work, you will finish them all. Thanks for sharing you stitchy life with us

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Brigette! ❤️

[@katiehughes340]

Thank you for sharing! I love your WIP parades! You have so many beautiful pieces to share and were so organized.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you so much Katie! ❤️

[@carolscrafty]

Loved your WIP Parade. I totally didn't mind the length of your video. I'm the same way, dark fabrics are hard for me to see to stitch on them especially at night. Hi Lilly!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Carol! Lily says hi! ❤️

[@lisasharbono7181]

I loved seeing all your wips! I love plum street, stash Nash and Teresa kogut so it’s fun to see what you have started! For me, when working on dark fabric, it’s very helpful to either sit outside in the sunshine or in a sun window with the light beside me and something white under my project on my lap. I prefer 28 count so I don’t know if that will help with 40 but it might be worth a try. Happy stitching and I look forward to seeing what you decide to work on.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks for the helpful suggestions, Lisa! ❤️

[@lizzythestitcher]

That was awesome, mainly because you pick such amazing projects! They look stunning. Enjoy each stitch when you get to it.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Lizzy! ❤️

[@dawneck936]

Thanks for an awesome WIP parade. On your Quaker that you are worried about the crooked linen. Do a running stitch across the top of the design to see exactly what you end up with. Good luck

[@sarahsstitchery]

Good idea! Thanks!

[@janieceprieur7068]

Enjoyed the WIP parade. Love seeing all the different types of patterns you stitch. I too see Dachshunds in that pattern. Especially since I had Mini Dachshunds growing up and my family also had one. Don't be too hard on yourself regarding all the WIPs. I personally don't have more than a dozen. But I do have lots of patterns, fabric and floss. And quite a few are kitted up. I don't see much difference between that and a small start. I have so many patterns I want to stitch, I need to stop buying!!!! Take Care

[@sarahsstitchery]

I need to stop buying too! 😬

[@nancyfinney1314]

Thank you for your wip/bag parade! So much eye candy!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks for watching, Nancy! ❤️

[@shannabales2001]

Thanks for sharing. This was my first floss tube of yours that I watched. Loved it I will be back.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Shanna! I would love to have you as a returning viewer! ❤️

[@pamelaevans5290]

Great projects and your project bags are beautiful. I got a lot of stitching done watching your WIP parade. 😁. Enjoy your stitching

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Pamela! ❤️

[@donnamurdoch5915]

Wonderful wip parade Sarah! I love all that you stitch! I just love the fabrics you choose to stitch your projects on! ❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Donna! ❤️

[@madebymichellemcgraw5899]

I finally got to watch! You have beautiful wips! So many great projects!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Michelle! It was so great to meet you at Stitch Con! ❤️

[@bonniemiller8188]

A great flosstube - I have so many of the same projects and really enjoyed watching you today- Happy Stitching!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks for watching, Bonnie! ❤️

[@kathiefosnaugh8109]

I am re-watching your video. I missed some things so rewatching!! Lol I LOVED the Bertha Mae Brown. I loved it when it was first shown. I wish they would release it to the public. I keep looking. Haven’t done a sampler like this but this is a special one. You are one of my favs!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Kathie! I’m sorry you aren’t able to find Bertha Mae Brown. It’s such a beautiful chart. ❤️

[@debmyers1648]

Thank you for sharing the fun WIP parade! I really enjoyed it.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Deb! ❤️

[@lilysmomma785]

Such a BEAUTIFUL WIP parade, your company was (and always is) so pleasant. I appreciate you taking the time to share all of your gorgeous stitches and thank you for the enabling. I took copious notes on so many fabrics and charts, so many starts in my future lol. You were great company while I worked on my Mother's Garden by Blackbird. It is actually thanks to you that I was inspired to choose my own pallet and put the colors where I thought they worked best instead of a 1 to 1 conversion or called for colors. So much inspiration 😊 Happy Stitching -Kimberly

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks for watching, Kimberly! I love how we all inspire each other to step out of our comfort zones and try something new. 😊

[@tinasauls978]

Love your bags , love the material on the bag mom made. Who care if you have too many starts that mean you want be bored.

[@sarahsstitchery]

I will definitely never be bored! 😂

[@thesoulstitchers_fr]

Two hours of wips !!! Ohhh im so ready 🎉🎉 thank you for sharing all your projects ❤

Sarah, this was sooo much fun! I’m amazed that you ironed them all and that you were so organized! Your project bags are also just so amazing at how they coordinate with your projects. Loved watching this - hugs! ❤

Awesome Flosstube. Love seeing all of your WIPS and beautiful project bags. This was so much fun. Saw some charts I need to pick up for myself. TFS.

[@cathycosier7870]

Love your WIP parade! Lots of large projects!

[@rosetree626]

I LOVE the little Owl finish! It makes a wonderful small.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks! I love it too. 😊

[@ReneLewis64]

Loved watching this video, Sarah. You have so many WIPs because you are a creative person, which is why you also make a fabulous teacher! I've been struggling on a cross stitch piece because the floss blends into the fabric. Thank you for telling us that you've restarted some projects for the same reason! I needed to hear that.

[@KristinEastabrooks]

Love all of your fabric choices!! So clever matching with the patterns!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Kristin! ❤️

[@lisaproefrock]

I love WIP parades!

[@jerijocreates]

OMGOSH look at all those beautiful bags!!!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Right?! 😍

[@joyceclowser3371]

Thank you for the WIP parade! I know they are a lot of work! I think some of those small starts were 12x12 starts, don’t you? I thoroughly enjoyed! Happy stitching!❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

They might have been!

[@jenniferbrooks9213]

The shadow is your dark shirt, I think, cause it moves with your arm. 😂. Love your WIPs! ❤. I’m also doing 100 Owls; I keep it at work so I know it gets worked on at least 3-hours a week. And you enabled me a few times today, thanks…. 😂

[@sarahsstitchery]

That shadow was driving me crazy! 😂

[@virginiawallin114]

Loved your wips and all the beautiful project bags!!!!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you Dawn! ❤️

[@jdshoul]

Wow!! That’s a lot of WIPS. That would stress me out 😂. I’m sure you’ll get them all done. Maybe not by the end of 2024 but eventually. They are all beautiful. I think I would do the small ones first cause they could be done quicker. Enjoy stitching though…..Have a great weekend. Debbie

[@sarahsstitchery]

It does stress me out, lol! 😂

[@LauraLawsCraftCorner]

Great wip parade. Love your taste in fabric and patterns. You stitches are so beautiful

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! ❤️

[@susanevans7514]

Great video - thank you. Plenty of ideas for the future but I need to work on my WIP’s first! Disciplined I can be………..occasionally! x

[@sarahsstitchery]

Can you send some of that discipline my way? 😂

[@sewmesarah]

Gorgeous WIPs Sarah. On the Quaker that you are worried about the fabric not being cut straight - run a line of running stitches from the very top edge of the stitching you’ve already done all the way across your fabric width. That will allow you to see just how “ off” the fabric has been cut and whether your margins are going to be ok. Fingers crossed for you.

[@sarahsstitchery]

That’s a good idea, Sarah!❤️

[@krafty_kay_jay]

Oh my holy heck, you’ve got some fun projects going and the bags…oh so fun! I’m a recovering monogamous stitcher; I have three projects going right now, which is huge for me! I am absolutely changing that, effective July 1st I am participating in my first Jolly July! I am going to have over 10 WIPs and I’m SO excited! Thank you for inspiring me💖✨

[@kimbowman13]

Wow, that was fun to watch. Love all of your projects. The bags😮

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Kim! ❤️

[@jo-annwhite9237]

Sooo much work! What an inspiration!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! ❤️

[@pampepper7504]

Love all your WIPs and bags. Especially loved the round piece of the cabin with stars and moon. You need to ask your mom to make a bag with stars or moons to put it in instead of the nutcracker bag. That might inspire you to pull it out more. I was inspired to go find the nibblers pattern. Thank you.

[@bethliotta267]

Hi! I absolutely love your WIP Parade! So Much fun and I so enjoy stitching to your videos! Have a great 4th of July!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Beth! Happy 4th of July! ❤️

[@LauraLawsCraftCorner]

Love love your owl stitches!!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! 😊

[@CaroleLeonard-mq7ul]

I had an experience like you. I started a project of 12 monthies on a pierce of Aida. I started 3 inches down and 3 inches from the left. I stitched the border on the left and I ended with 1.5 inches at the bottom. I went to my LNS and they told me their framer could work with the border. Since you go to Paula at Craft Gallery, I'm sure you'll be fine. Happy stitching from Cleveland! onthies

[@sarahsstitchery]

I guess it’s important to measure all the way around and not assume that your fabric is perfectly square or rectangular. Lesson learned! Glad your situation turned out fine!
