[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Yay! Thank you so much Elizabeth!!!

[@southfloridadeb2285]

[@stargalaxyuniverse761]

Shelia and EJ have completely enabled me😂😂

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

@@stargalaxyuniverse761 Haha!!! 🐦🐦🐦

[@dianemcclure6884]

You had me laughing out loud with your intro song! In my mind I was seeing you dancing like Beyonce does in her video! So much fun, I have to stitch "Put a Bird on it". I'll be thinking about your song while I stitch it. You're amazing

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Haha thank you! You know - in my mind, I was going to do that - I had planned it but it turned out to be too much work and would've delayed the video by another week 😂😂😂

[@heidisnow]

You have such a beautiful voice and I LOVE your version of the song. I don't know which idea came first, the song or the SAL, but the timing for both is perfect. And, I just ordered the pattern from your website today. Can't wait to start.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Aw thank you Heidi! The Sunshine Stitchers mentioned it, and I felt I really should do the song for it then :D. I've always loved the song so it was a lot of fun doing this one!!! :D

[@nilasink3270]

Fantastic video!

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you!

[@ryoungdesigner4340]

Got my advent box and can’t wait to start!!!

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Hehe thank you Tami!

[@joanneneufeld8212]

Just wow! Not in a million years was I expecting that song. You are so comical. I for sure now have to join that SAL. Such beautiful samplers you showed. The new Sands one you showed is fabulous. I need to live to be 150 to stitch them all!

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Haha thank you Joanne! Had a blast recording this one :D

[@sandrafulton4351]

Thank you

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

:D Thank *you*! :)

[@abbieparry2039]

Loving the songs you include! Thank you for taking the time to create them, I found I was concentrating more on that than my stitching 😍 can't wait to start the dwarf runes pattern! I definitely think there should be far more Tolkien inspired projects in the world 😍

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you so much, really happy you enjoyed the songs :D. Finishing up a bunch as we speak for the Holiday Countdown...! :D

[@abbieparry2039]

@ModernFolkEmbroidery ooh I can't wait 😍

[@desireepheister2633]

Oh my, those ribbons! Absolutely amazing. I am stitching something for Black November, a small sampler just for fun. Thank you for all of your research and wonderful designs.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you Desiree! Great to hear you're joining in on the fun! :)

[@AleKateStitches]

Intro is beyond ♥️♥️

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Haha thank you!!!

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Haha yep! Had a blast recording it after I heard the Sunshine Stitchers say 'put a bird on it ... put a ring on it...'. Hope you'll join in on the fun! :)

[@fionamacartney7012]

Love the song take over. I’ll never hear the original the same way again!!

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Haha thank you! :D

[@JoAnntheEclecticStitcher]

After listening to the intro song for Put a Bird On It, I am going to follow the Sunshine Stitchers and join the SAL. It's a beautiful chart ❤ I am happy to see you continuing to Black Sampler November. I stated following you in 2021 and remember when you started that SAL. I am still working on the chart I started back then, Love & Unity. I am still a long ways to go to finish it so it will be my Black Sampler November WIP for years to come 😊

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you so much JoAnn - that's so awesome to hear! Yay! :D I'm going to put a few stitches in on my Black Sampler November chart (Royal Affair) :)

[@lisawhittaker5680]

Wonderful song ❤❤❤❤❤. Ps......the stitching pretty good too 😉😊

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Hehe thank you so much Lisa! :)

[@trudymeyer430]

How I love your music 🎶 . I look forward to all the holiday posts 🎄 . And as you say….🦅. There is my bird of the day😁

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you so much Trudy - that's great to hear!!! :)

[@katiestrachanembroidery]

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Haha thank you so much Katie!!!

[@Daybreak_Stitcher]

::dancing in my seat:: Oh Jacob! You just answered the hashtag question on Put A Bird On It SAL!! Love your opening soo much!! Hahaha ❤❤

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Hahaha thank you so much Jerica! Had a blast doing this one :D

[@lorriemoreau8894]

A huge part of what I love about doing the count down SAL are the videos you and Caroline do, thank you for the time and the always amazing content 🎄

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Aw thank you Lorrie - that's so good to hear!!! :)

[@alisoncaronflyingfree]

Yes of course I did and always do enjoy your videos. I am so looking forward to the Christmas SAL.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Yay! Thank you - that's wonderful to read. We're all excited ourselves!!! :D

[@stitchinginthemuseum]

Nothing gets your attention like a MFE song. Loved it. I hope you can find a common thread that pulls those two historic samplers together. Genealogy even if it isn't our own can be complicated. Hope you solve the mystery. Hope you had a good holiday. One of my coworkers was dressed as Janine from Ghostbusters. It was amazing. Have a great Friday! Happy stitching!

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you!!! "What-do-you-want" Janine is one of my favourite Ghostbusters characters. Her, and the ghost in the library speak to me... 😂

[@emilywells869]

I'll be humming "Put a bird on it" all day! Thanks for another great video.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Hahaha thank you Emily! :)

[@itchingforstitching]

I love birds! :)

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

They're the best!!! :D

[@itchingforstitching]

@ I concur.

[@karenwillett2117]

Jacob, your opening song was perfect! LOL! It has decided to snow in Minnesota today, and after getting home from the mess your flosstube cheered me up. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Hehe thank you Karen! Glad it brought some joy on a gloomy day! :)

[@yvettealba7431]

Loved it! While I'm preparing my 2025 MFE SAL that got me dancing with my cat. 😁😻

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Hehe awesome - that's so lovely to hear! Give catty a hug from me :D

[@sarah_out_of_office]

Amazing intro song and the ribbon sampler is stunning.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you Sarah!!!

[@pegpage8618]

Loved your intro - and the the pattern - of course I want to stitch it. Oh my gosh! I love those embroidered ribbons - it amazes me what women did back then to have a bit decoration for their attire. I love them. Thank you for all of your lovely designs. BTW - that knitted vest is AmAzIng! Also - just take all of my money - I can’t resist your designs. 😂

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you so much Peg! The ribbons really are great - as is their full attire. The vest is so good - it's got a few small holes that I need to fix, but haven't found the right colours (yet)... so it's sitting on a dummy so I can still look at it! :D.

[@Kathysimmeth6678]

The intro song is so good, loved it.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you so much Kathy!

[@teresabrown9529]

I had every intention of doing Black Sampler November but I started working on your Think Twice pattern and just can’t wait to finish it. Maybe next year.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

That's okay - maybe next year! Would love to have you on board :D

[@VirginiaEfta]

Your introduction song made me smile. What fun. All these SALs and all the charts! Heavens! Thank you so much, Jacob, for all your talented, delightful, exquisite samplers and reproductions. I love them so much!

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you Sheila - I feel very lucky to have them :)

[@seoulstitcher]

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you - so glad you're joining in on the Holiday Count Down again! Yay! :D Happy stitching!

[@nataliadmitrieva3929]

What a song!! 😁 Loved the video, you made me think about Black sampler November as I was trying hard not to start anything else 🙈 Looking forward to December Holiday countdown, my husband put a huge sign on the box with the envelops “not to open before the 1st of December” 😂

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Hehe thank you Natalia!!! I'm so excited for December... really looking forward to it!

[@neilstephen6761]

Love the black sampler. I so enjoy your videos and would like to stitch all the pieces sadly time is short. Happy stitching

[@MsRaineyroo]

Best Intro Ever!

Love it all! I may have to wait to put a bird on it starting in the spring, though.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you so much Barbara!!! It'd be a great spring start for sure!

[@BarbaraWest-oops]

@@ModernFolkEmbroidery Well, Jacob, this is still me - @barbarawest1205 - but my existing YT account has disappeared! I didn't want you to think I was ignoring your reply.

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you so much - glad you enjoyed it! :D :D :D

[@maryannjohnson5410]

Love the intro! I don't know if it counts but since I'm desperately trying to get the 2024 Haed Sal done by the end of the year when I need a break from that I'm going to pull out Got the Morbs. Don't know if it counts for Black Sampler November, but it is all black .

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you Mary Ann! Anything black counts so Got The Morbs is definitely a great one for Black Sampler November! :D

[@marroomydesigns]

I can’t stop laughing That intro song is everything 😂😂

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Haha thank you so much Maryam! :D

[@kima9181]

Standing ovation!!!!

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you Beverly! Hope you'll join in - it really is good fun for sure! :)

[@AbiBellaStitch]

This is so lovely, Jacob! What floss are you using for The Good Traveller?

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Thank you Abi! I'm stitching The Good Traveler with Roxy Floss "Falu Red" so it can go on the red sampler wall (when that's ready) :D

[@DarlingBluebell]

Did you just, ever so caaaasually, drop a "very mindful, very demure" into the middle of the Linten story??? Nearly spitting out my tea here 😂

[@ModernFolkEmbroidery]

Hahaha I did it very modestly, of course.
