Another wonderful project!! The pattern is perfect for winter. I stitch whenever the mood hits me or I’m just not busy. I try to stitch most days.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Thanks. It's nice to have some things that aren't just Christmas.

[@victoriajohnson914]

I just love ALL of your little things! I haven't cross-stitched in years and was thinking about getting back into it. Thank you for sharing with us!❤❤❤❤

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

I'm so glad you're inspired to stitch again!

[@robinbunis6792]

Very sweet drum. My stitchey time is predicated on my chores ...when chores and errands are done then it's my time!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Priorities in order. Good job!

[@heartlandstitcher9825]

Love that stitch and finish! I stitch everyday. Mostly early morning and evenings. Thanks for sharing!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Thanks. I love to stitch in the evenings. I'm not a morning person.

[@melissahodnett7170]

That design is perfect for making into a drum, but I never would have thought to do that. So clever to leave off the words so you have a winter item, too. I don’t have a set stitching time, but I need to so that I can finish more projects.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

It's easy to get sidetracked. My problem is the internet. Facebook and KZbin take up way too much of my time.

[@SandraEvenson-Hagen]

For the first time you’ve finished a project into a drum you did a great job! Super cute and nice that you can keep it out for winter. 🎄

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Thanks so much! I am really pleased with how it turned out.

[@fancypants6697]

Hi! I stitch on and off all day, but I do mornings consistently. The afternoons are times that I veer off into cooking, cleaning, other crafts. The evenings I go back to cross stitch as long as the energy holds out. Retirement has given me options I didn’t have when working. Best to you 🎄🧑🏻‍🎄⛄️

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

It’s wonderful to have all that free time to stitch. I love being retired.

[@justjoan8677]

The primitive blues are my favorite to stitch. I am powering through my last Christmas stitch for this year. I am ready to stitch winter. ❤ your drum finish. I stitch in the afternoon after my chores and the noon meal dishes are done. I am also a monogamous stitcher.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

I just finished a project. Not sure what will be next.

[@nannettmcdougal-dykes9339]

Always fun watching and seeing what your up to..please take care and please take care

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@alfredpratt9373]

Thank you 😊

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

You're welcome 😊

[@caroltown3162]

That was cute!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Thanks!

[@marybd123]

Love the drum finish…thanks for sharing. I like to stitch in the mornings when the natural light is good. Unfortunately, I have another commitment tomorrow and not able to attend our Stitchy Saturday in Waynesville but enjoy and Happy Holidays to everyone there.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Thanks for watching and Happy Holidays to you too. We'll miss you!

[@susanbeaver9197]

Love your drum. I havent tried one yet. I love to stitch but have to be in the mood to do finishes. I stitch in the afternoon and evening.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

It is so fun to see a project come to life. 🪡 I have 5 now, that need to be fully finished. I might do them on Sunday.

[@allysonwoolworth9214]

Love your drum! Super job on your first drum finish!! My stitchy time really depends on what else I need to do that day.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Thanks. It really wasn't difficult at all.

[@terrilynch9328]

I’ve made a few of Asbury’s Echoes patterns- they’re so sweet and prim! Thank you for sharing.⛄️I’ve not stitched in a while and I’m hoping to start again after Christmas.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

I'm glad you are inspired to start stitching again after Christmas! The holidays can be busy.

[@debimiller7572]

My stitchy time is based on my "house chores" I try to take care of business before I stitch. Plus I know we shd not sit for long periods of time so I try to break it up. Enjoy your stitchy meet up.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

That is a great way to manage your time! I sit way too much.

[@joanhodapp6089]

My stitching is random times depending on family errands.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Get your stitching in whenever you can.

[@tamaradovel5091]

I’d love to see how you make a drum!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Helen D has a tutorial, and also Vonna Pfeiffer.

[@carolpharaon5918]

No stitching program. I stitch when I find some time

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

That's about how I work. I'm my own boss. 😊🪡

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

Is there any finish you can’t do perfectly? The drum is perfection! How do you make the cute covered candy canes?

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Thanks Sheila. The candy canes are easy. Just wrap torn fabric strips around the candy cane, at an angle, hot gluing as you go. You can either coffee stain them afterwards by brushing the coffee mix on, or you can coffee stain the fabric ahead of time, which would probably be easier.

[@joanhodapp6089]

Love it as a drum! I’ve wanted to try one. What did you stuff it with or is there something inside it fo the drum shape?

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

It's stuffed with fiber fill. Vonna Pfeiffer has a tutorial.

[@lindadays8933]

What do you use for form on drum?

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

You stuff it very tight. At the ends, you use a circle of cardboard. I think Helen D has a tutorial video.

[@lindadays8933]

@ thank you!

[@MarB3942]

What did you use to get the cylinder shape on your drum effect? Right now i just stitch when i have time

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

I think I used a piece of cardboard for the circle shape on the ends.
