That's so sweet, thank you!

[@patfortner9612]

Enjoying all your cross stitch 1,2,

[@ChristyHunter]

I enjoy your Flosstube. Your chart from the Library Stitchers Retreat is nice. I miss Maine. It's been 2 years since we went there. Beautiful state. I wasn't a stitcher when my kids were in sports, but that would have been an awesome thing to do at practices. I remember trying to read books and just couldn't do it. Cross stitch is so nice because I can have a nice conversation with people while stitching and it also has helped start conversations with others. It's a wonderful hobby.

[@cindyflinchbaugh7155]

So many beautiful finishes and stitches. You are such an inspiration for my cross stitching. Have a great week. 1

[@dianeruno4942]

Thanks Helen for the new freebie!

Hi Helen. Thanks so much for the Lobsters and Lighthouses chart. I stitched it up for a good friend who is from Maine and goes home often to visit. She was fortunate enough to be able to purchase her childhood home her grandfather built. I hope she’ll enjoy this pattern in her Maine home.

I had mine in scouts, marching band, swimming etc. When my daughter was 16 yrs old she came to me and said”Mom, do you know the kids who participate in activities, don’t get pregnant?” I said O Really and thought myself YES!!! Its working the kids are too busy doing things they enjoy not bored and looking for something to do. I enjoy your videos very much. Happy Stitching from South Carolina. Ann

My sister is stitching 324 too. I knew she had ALL the DMC colors so I told her to look into it after watching a previous video. She shared in our last video that she has stitched lots of the solid squares on the diagonal. The floss holder for that project is very smart!

[@helend.flosstube]

It's so interesting to see how different people tackle the same design!!

[@charimoss]

@@helend.flosstube I agree! I probably would have done it in rows or columns myself.
