[@brendanawesomeness]

“It is well with my soul” was my grandmas favorite song (:

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thanks so much for sharing that with me. It’s my Mom’s too! God bless you!

[@luanadillingham5748]

[@maryjanejones6858]

I just ran across this video, how inspiring! Thank you! Your granddaughter is adorable!

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Awe, thank you so very much!❤️

[@janetlaplaca1060]

Love the work and the framing!

[@Kathleen-rw8iy]

Love this Bridgett ! Thanks for the lesson❣️

[@daynachandler2730]

Beautiful video, Bridgett! I love all of your work!❤

[@bobbischolze4645]

Love the samplers and the new frame on your latest! You did not mention if the cardboard and tape you used were acid-free. It is important to mention this as many may not know that new pieces mounted with nonacid free materials can cause damage over time. Also, any old pieces that are matted before the 1970's should be taken apart and re-matted as you described so well, as any tape, cardboard, paper, etc. will definitely not be acid free as they pre-date the acid free process and will damage and eat the material over time. Love that you found an old frame as samplers look best when in a period frame! Thanks for encouraging the ancient arts and for showing others how to rescue the old ones that can never be replaced! They are indeed treasures!

[@samplerstitcher]

I don't think you have to worry about that, considering the coffee and tea will destroy the sampler anyway....

[@vickikennedy9644]

What beautiful work you do!!! Love the video

[@toriestes381]

Beautiful ♥️thanks for sharing!

[@juliehiebenthal7894]

Loved your video! Thanks for showing us all your beautiful samplers (your Mama's too) and for showing how you age and frame them!

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thanks so much for your sweet comment and for watching!🥰

[@user-yq8gs9rx3l]

Oh my…..this was the best video!! Thank you for sharing your aging process. You know I love me some samplers!!!

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thank you so much Tara!🥰

[@geavonnashel9185]

I Love, your sampler collection!!! You and your mother are so talented! Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your channel so very much!

[@karenbrewer5864]

Bridgett, this video was so informative. I didn’t realize that I needed to put salt in my tea stain solution. You and your mom have some beautiful samplers. I use to be an avid cross-stitcher but had kinda laid it to the side for awhile. You’ve made me want to pick it back up again. Thanks so much! I enjoy your videos so much. You are such a down to earth person and of course I love your way of decorating!

[@janetmcclure8007]

Loved this. Thanks so much. I have 5 samplers you made for me in the past and I do love them all.

[@CindyBlume]

I would love to have one of those samplers, the one with the house that you tea dyed and ironed just beautiful!

[@pamelaevans5290]

Beautiful samplers. Thank you for doing this video. I cross stitch but follow a pattern. Your coffee/tea dyeing was very helpful too. Once again a great video.

[@brendabathurst6921]

Oh my goodness, that was amazing!! Beautiful samplers and I learned so much . I absolutely love your channel 👍🙏❤️ Everything is wonderful, Thankyou

[@debraadamsadams6955]

Your work is beautifull. Thank you for the tips

[@bubbalynn49]

Thank you, Bridgett, for showing your Samplers and the dyeing tutorial. I’m love to stitch reproduction samplers, and you’ve given me inspiration to make my own Samplers that will represent my family’s lineage. I absolutely ♥️ your channel! (And Kristy, Daisy Kay Primitives, is a favorite of mine.)

[@vickygray1369]

They are all beautiful,

[@marthameadows9013]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Love samplers and have made a few myself. Enjoyed aging technique.

[@gailreeder457]

[@debbratefft3813]

Wow that looks beautiful !! I'm going to be looking for samplers now, and make them look old, thank you so much !!!

Inspiring indeed! Blessings 💜

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thank you so much!🥰

[@rebeccatarrance8444]

Such beautiful samplers! I love doing them but my eyesight isn't what it used to be. I do stitch more in the winter when I don't have yard work to do. Just amazing work!❤

[@susansaunders397]

Wow, do you & your mom have a collection! I’m a daily stitcher & love my samplers! Lots of fun to watch you prim up that one piece. Christy had mentioned you in 1 of her videos & I’m so thankful she did! Truly enjoying your videos❤️

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thanks so much for your sweet comment!!🥰

[@DevonsCreativeChannel]

Beautiful samplers as a cross stitcher who stitches a lot of reproduction samplers I really enjoyed this video 😊

[@kinfolk127]

Very interesting. Thank you 😊

[@teresamc521]

Love all of your decor! I too love primitive designs, and stitching. Coffee tea dyed really makes the finished project aged. I too burn fabric in the oven 😳. I now hang my tea dyed fabric on pants hangers n let them dry on my porch. Great to have found your videos again😊

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

I should have hung mine out to dry!! LOL Thanks for your sweet compliments!

[@wooleygirl5240]

Love all of your samplers-so pretty. Enjoyed seeing your technique of aging samplers. I also cross stitch and have done some primitive stitching which I need to age. Thank you. Pam Miller in Alabama

[@lorigarcia844]

What beautiful samplers you and your mom have stitched ♥️ I loved seeing all of them and the process!

[@veronicadelancey-smith6408]

Thank you for such an informative video and for taking us through the process of framing a sampler. I LOVE your channel !!

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching!🥰

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thank you so very much!🥰

[@michellestewart2419]

I love all the samplers. I’m working on stitching my own collection. Thank you for all your lovely videos. Such inspiration!!!

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thank you so very much Michelle and it’s nice to meet a fellow stitcher!!🥰

[@pamwright5126]

Oh Bridgett, I’ve been waiting and hoping you would share all about your samplers and boy I was not disappointed… both you and your mama’s are amazing. And the finishing you shared is magnificent. The dyeing and frame change is perfect. Thank you so much. And your granddaughter is a beauty ❤

[@janhietpas4929]

Thanks for the tutorial. Awesome samplers..... you know you could sell the patterns as PDF downloads. Daisey K is the one who steared me to you.... glad she did.

[@kankerdoodleb9149]

Bridgett you and your Mama are the best primitive sampler stitchers! Thank you so much for this video. Just seeing all the samplers was a real treat.

[@sherryhamilton6374]

Very educational learned a lot, it looks gret❤

[@estherlangille6098]

Thank you for showing us how to dye

[@daisykaysprimitives]

Another fab video Bridgett! Always such a great inspiration. You know I love your channel and have been looking forward to seeing more of your stitching. Now if we can get you to sell your pattern charts! (wink, wink). Thank you sweet lady for the wonderful shout-out, I appreciate it very much. Hugs, Kristy.

[@cindylaun5962]

Kristy that was so sweet that she mentioned you❣️love both of your channels

[@ileyburkett7814]

Oh yes, patterns next please.

[@joycegavioli4222]

Love your videos !

[@dianathorpe2280]

I just found you today. Love your samplers so much. Thats what I love to stitch too. I live in Alabama. Sounds like were neighbors! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Oh wow! It’s so nice to meet you and I’m happy to have you as part of my KZbin friends!! Sounds like we love the same things and we’re not too far apart!❤️

[@dianathorpe2280]

@@bridgettsprimitvepassion Just watched the Hulaco home tour. She’s about 45 minutes from us here in Decatur. In fact I wonder if I’ve been there. Went to a country show a few years back and bought a Merry Christmas sign similar to the one in her house. Do you know if she used to have country Christmas shows in her home?

[@cleocat8415]

I so enjoyed your tutorial and a tour of your and moms samplers. Tks Lonnie in Texas Aka Cleocat

[@bridgettsprimitvepassion]

Thank you so much Lonnie! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@pattywethington3764]

Your samplers are beautiful! You and your mom are so talented. I think your iron is great! I've never found a steam iron that didn't spit out dark water periodically, and ruin what I was ironing. Had to rewash the items.

[@bearzhere]

Thanks for this lesson on framing stitcheries! I have some that have been sitting in my cedar chest that I need to get framed. I also have numerous Baltimore applique quilt blocks I have also been wanting to get framed up. My Gram taught this type of stitchery in her sunday school classes she taught somewhere around 1910 and she kept the blocks from a class I am guessing! If you or anyone else knows of some good directions on getting these framed I would really appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to show us how to do this properly to make them look old!

[@donnakish2316]

Bridgette your samplers are fabulous as are your moms. I'm always excited to see you have posted a new video. Better than a magazine.

[@sharyndonner6178]

You are such an easy and natural talker to listen to while demonstrating

[@michelegibbs9261]

O Bridgett I was so happy to see that you posted a video about your samplers! I am amazed that you can just create a sampler design as you go. I also love to stitch samplers, but definitely need a chart to follow! Every time I think you can’t possibly top your current video, the next is even more inspiring! Thank you for all you do for your viewing audience!

[@SamuelStJohn-be9wk]

Looks great! I have a cross stitch, some cobalt crocks and a couple red ware and couldn’t figure out which direction to go with continuing in my collecting. I think I know now!

[@susangannon2972]

Thank you so much for this inspiring video! Samplers are my favorite thing to stitch and I’ve made quite a few small ones (from patterns- I’m not nearly as talented as you!). I am definitely going to use your techniques for aging and am going to start with some minis that I made over 30 years ago. And your simple framing instructions are just great! I’ve been enjoying all of your videos so much! I haven’t read all of the comments yet but I sure would love to buy patterns if you sell them!!

[@danitarogers2419]

Beautiful

[@pennyhall2575]

😊The samplers are amazing! I'm a cross stitcher and in awe that you stitch those without having a pattern. So talented!

[@cottagecharacters]

Beautiful skilled work making your samplers. One thing I can absolutely guarantee your post will inspire many viewers to have a go.

[@marsacrane8238]

Love all your videos, especially.... your home and your Mothers! ... You are easy to watch, with a warm, down home voice and style.. I look forward to each video you do...and your DIY projects. I made the bee skep...please keep visiting with us...love watching you decorate my style...🌻

[@LanaWyrick-kw9cc]

Bridgett I just love your videos! I so enjoy meeting your family and friends. Your little granddaughter is so sweet! Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us! ❤️

[@gaylek9302]

Thanks so much for showing yours and your moms stitching. Y'all are so talented!

[@kalezi]

Great video! You have an eye for putting that sampler with that frame. Loved seeing your aging technique. After all your effort and to prolong the looks and life as these treasures get handed down, especially the ones with your family names, my I suggest acid free mounting board, pinning or using thread to mount and a spacer if using glass. I go yo Hobby Lobby and the measure my frame and cut me the mounting board and I pay for the board only. I got flat head mounting pins from Amazon, a gazillion in a box, and use those (pin goes in the side of the mounting board.) to put the piece on the board. It is so easy. One of the framers at Hobby Lobby told me that this is the way they mount. They don’t use lashing method. Anyway, I enjoyed your video!

[@kdstitcher]

Thank you Bridgett for sharing your samplers. You and your mom do beautiful work. Loved watching your aging fabric process, I will try your ironing it dry method. All of your videos are wonderful, and I love when you share the how to tips. Your granddaughter is a cutie.

[@cherylmccloy5863]

I enjoyed this so much. Thank you for sharing. Your samplers are so wonderful. I really loved the primitive style. When you mentioned having the needle in your hand, I feel the same. If I am not stitching and my soul needs some calm and peace, I can feel that needle in my hand and I know I need to get to stitching. Using favorite verses and quotes and song lyrics makes them even more special. I appreciate what you've done. Thank you so much.

[@cindylaun5962]

Thank you Bridgett for showing off your samplers and your mother’s as well. I appreciate you taking the time to walk us through how you age the sampler. What a great find you found at that yard sale. Always enjoy each of your videos ❤ see ya next time

[@sandysmom100]

Beautiful samplers ! I’ve learned a lot from you Bridgett . Thanks ! Interior decorating has always been my passion !

[@AlisonFox-u6c]

Thanks so much for sharing. Absolutely beautiful work! Samplers have my heart. You and your mom are certainly talented. How wonderful that you both enjoy stitching~ ♥️

[@robinrhea6125]

You are so talented, those are absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing...❤ glad you used Bible verses!!

[@beverlyjohnson9413]

I just subscribed! These are amazing! I have a couple of samplers that I have done that I want to age before I frame!

[@rebeccakidder1397]

I so enjoyed this video! Bridgett, you are truly blessed with a talent. I could look at samplers all day. Thank you!

[@barbaradzitko1826]

The samplers are beautiful, Bridget. Thanks for the tutorial on how to age fabric.

[@PeggyMills]

I’m in awe. You are a true artist and your mama too. Like others, I would love to know how to purchase a sampler from you. Excellent video, Bridgett.

[@marsacrane8238]

I would love to buy one of your small samplers you offer occasionally... I will try to watch for the next opportunity..

[@sueepling7280]

Long time stitcher here, probably close to 60 years! Samplers are my favorite thing to stitch and I recently started adding family names too. I age mine too but didn't know about adding salt, so I will next time. Your finished sampler is gorgeous as are ALL of yours and your Mom's! Bonnie May is absolutely adorable ❤️

[@cindyk4294]

Oh that was wonderful! I love that your mom had one upside down… that’s something I would do and my adult children would poke fun at me for the rest of my life.🤪 You don’t give yourself enough credit. It’s really not as easy as you make it look. Thank you so much!🌷

[@user-dh8bw4mr6e]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful works and "how to" info. Always look forward to seeing what you do next...keep your videos coming!!!

[@lindafritz6132]

Your samplers are so beautiful! What a treasure that would be! Thank you for sharing! ❤️

[@user-bh4oi1ln9z]

Thank you so much for sharing "your process" with us, Bridgett! I made lots of schoolgirl samplers ~ till my hands and eyes failed me and then I began buying yours. Of course yours are much more authentic looking.

[@barbarasimmons7637]

I have been waiting for this video! I love stitching and samplers! I have 33 in my bedroom. I have followed Kristy for a long time! I am so happy to see how you age samplers. I have not ever done that. Thank you so much Bridgett!

[@phyllishaynes1544]

You and your do such beautiful work . I love the story of the burned corner. I would have been panicking and freaked out. I'm sure there were some that actually caught on fire back in the 1800's. Bonnie Mae is adorable .

[@DonnaVintageSnippets]

Oh, how beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing how you stained and framed your sampler. Love the way it looks in that gorgeous frame!!

[@lindamelz242]

I was so thrilled to see you were doing this one. I had to save it for a treat . And it certainly was !!! You and your momma have such a God given talent . To just start stitching and create your own design- AWE Struck !!!! Love the addition of Bible verses that are meaningful to you and your family. Your Grandmas samplers are so precious!!! Enjoyed every minute. If you didn’t want to recreate patterns - I would love a booklet with your gorgeous motifs. Antique frames are the crowning touch. I loved the touch of blue on one of your samplers. Great story on your burned stitch. What a cutie granddaughter. That is wonderful you passed your talent to her. I taught my four girls to stitch on aida - no takers but have one grand who liked it . Have a wonderful Labor Day !!!

[@JackieMooney-fr1lo]

You are very talented stitcher! And your Mom!

[@jparker2493]

This was so much fun to watch! You and your mom are very talented and have a gift for stitching! I learned so much from watching! Thank you so much!

[@juniperneedleworks]

I love your samplers - especially your own designs! If you chatted those as patterns, stitchers would snatch them up. Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching and aging process!

[@notforgottenfarm]

Hi Bridgett! I can't tell you enough how mush I look forward to your videos...it's ike we're right there with you!

[@debbieniles8706]

Oh my goodness! I am absolutely loving this video! All of your samplers are stunning and I love that you are showing us how to do the aging process. Bridgett, you are my favorite KZbin account ever and this just puts it over the top! I would love to know how to begin Crosstitching! You should do a how to video for beginners. Thank you for being so down to earth and so friendly. it’s like sitting in the home of a good friend when I watch your videos!

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

I have stitched so many samplers mostly for gifts and use the same steps for aging. Yours and your Mother’s samplers are absolutely gorgeous.Wonderful video and such a sweet granddaughter!! God bless.

[@janeperry5890]

Thank you for your inspirational episode. Your work is so authentic . I found your channel through Daisy Kays Kristie and am so happy I did. You have to be so brave to plop that beautiful red house in the boiling brew. Amazing results!

[@debkarcher1992]

I have always tea/coffee stained my samplers but thank you so much for showing me how you do it. Yours look so much more like what I’m trying to achieve. I appreciate it! Thank you. I love your channel.
