You are the best! I'm living the Nashville dream thru you. You probably won't see this post until after market, but I'm sending up good vibes for your gall bladder- don't need a repeat of that! You're so 'real' and down to earth and it's like you're just sitting across from me at the kitchen table and discussing design, fabric, Zero and the ten things! You make my life 'funner'. Have an awesome market .

[@karendavis-macon9658]

Love those antique birds and birdcages!! Thank you for taking the time to share!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2020!!

[@slubloverstitches]

BA Test Kitchen is my jam. Excited for your market releases 💖

[@darci8661]

Thanks for all the behind the scenes!I got a really fun glimpse of what market might feel and look like.Good luck! And have fun 😀💚💚💚

[@teresapires5799]

Loved getting to see your market prep raw & uncut. Safe travels and have a fantastic time while there. Hoping your gall bladder behaves and you can get that taken care of when you get back home as planned. Loving the new designs.

[@bethfred6360]

Praying for you and your gall bladder. Love your new pin keep with the birds. Praying for safe travels and a great market.

[@cindycstitches5310]

Loved this video, Theresa! Your releases are gorgeous!! Safe travels to Nashville! Have so much fun! ☺️☺️

[@eleanork3692]

Have a very successful Market. I can’t get over how calm you are in your video. I absolutely love all of your releases. Sip ginger ale to help with your gallstones. Can’t wait for your interviews and tour of market as you always make it entertaining.

[@wendypeatross2599]

I loved watching your market prep. I’ve done the Nashville market four times before. I had to give up my sixth floor room after I had major ankle surgery in 2015. I do miss it, but is so easy to just have Hoffman show my new things. -Wendy, From the Heart

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Love all your new patterns... I hope you have all JB patterns...safe travels...prayers for that gall bladder...and best wishes and hugs ❤️❤️

[@deehansen5490]

Thanks for the day by day videos getting ready for market! Safe travels & looking forward to the videos at market! Have fun!

[@valerie-stitchinginthebarn723]

I loved Raw and Uncut! Boy did you give a real sense of what it’s like to prep for market, run an online shop, and live real life in-between! And you seem to manage it all with grace and good humor. Hope gall bladder behaves itself (my kids always wanted stuffed toy diseases but I was mean and never bought them😏) and you have a hugely successful and wildly fun time at Market! ❤️

[@stitchingbythemoon]

Have fun at market!!! Your new charts are lovely, as expected!!

[@beckym6490]

I finished viewing this Thursday morning so you are on your way without hot 🍟. Wishing you no gall bladder attacks and a very successful market. I am looking forward to sneak peeks and interviews. Thank you for doing that. I am sure you have plenty to do without videoing for us but I am sure glad you take the time to do it.👏

[@danabexten3607]

I love the antique series. I do have a suggestion for your next one... I would love to stitch one with a laundry theme... Antique washboards, sad iron, and antique roller washer. Good luck at Market. Be safe. Looking forward to the interviews.

[@bernadetteryan4351]

Best of luck Theresa.

[@scrappingurchin]

My dog has been glued to the TV watching your cat wash! 😂

[@welshie65clement19]

Fingers crossed the gallbladder behaves. Have a great and successful market😀. I can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back. Your new releases are fabulous!!!!

[@Julie_M_]

What a fun video thank you so much! Very much enjoyed seeing you thru this last week. I appreciate you sharing, best of luck and safe travels!

[@lisanepsund5577]

You are so calm - especially about the van situation! I know you will have a very successful market - enjoying all the videos and posts already! I was just in AZ for almost a week, and all three of my cats were waiting when I walked in the door! 😻

[@rhondasmith4112]

Safe travels...have fun ......stay well.......blessings

[@moosemom2010]

I sang the song without you😂 It needed to be done! LOVE all your new releases! Have a fantastic time at Market and sell everything out! 💕Michele

[@judyrosey]

Antique clocks... 💜

[@mischievousstitches]

Have a great time! Safe travels and no flare ups!

[@arlenedolan9349]

Hat about gardening tools! You could do a shovel, trowel, clawlike thing, clay pot and gardening gloves! Have a ton of fun!!!

[@hollyhintzman9146]

I was seriously just thinking about you and then you popped up on my screen! I am so thrilled to hear that your prep has been fairly smooth sailing. Praying that gallbladder stays chill so you can have tons of fun at market!! Thinking of you and looking forward to your updates! Hugs to you and Sue!! 🤗

[@hollyhintzman9146]

I thought of an idea for your antique series: antique hats/hat pins/hat boxes.

[@helenfiore315]

Safe travels. Have a great market!

[@carolinet.4621]

Your new releases are fantastic! I hope your gallbladder behaves herself so you do not have any incidents. I know you will have a very happy and successful Market. Have fun with Sue, too! See you soon! 😊

[@christinahaines4428]

Your releases are amazing as always. Have fun and enjoy!! Praying for your gallbladder to hold out 🙏

[@grandmastraw]

Great video! Good luck and have fun. Looking forward to your after market video with lots of stories, I hope. Praying your gallbladder stays in hibernation during market.

[@faithbraulik8524]

All the best to you at Market Hope it is very successful and fun for you Stay safe and well

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗 Good luck at market Theresa!

[@sheliaburton541]

Great video. Thanks for sharing Market info with us!!!! Safe Travels!!!

[@karenveilleux7176]

Good luck and have fun at market!

[@elizabeththompson1882]

Happy Happy Birthday.

[@runningwithneedlesscissors2158]

Have. Great time at market! Take care driving and lifting!! Love the new Hands to Work releases, and yours as well. I have Ann Dale all kitted up and a few stitches put in. She is a beauty!

[@margaretgoodman6747]

I so enjoyed hearing all about the build-up before market. What an exciting time! Hope it is very profitable and fulfilling for you, and your naughty gall bladder behaves herself. Fingers crossed you will have NO flare-ups on your trip. You'll be in my thoughts. Good luck and safe travels.

[@carollord9371]

Best of luck at the show and safe travels!

[@jennscountedthreads]

Crossing all the crossables that your gall bladder behaves for market. Pro-tip for after the surgery: be at home the first couple of times you have anything a little bit fatty or greasy to eat. It takes your body some time to learn how to digest these without your gall bladder and things might be ...unpredictable... the first few times. Good luck at market! Love all your new things.

[@patriciamason5260]

Was so happy to get your newsletter today. Glad you are ok. Was beginning to worry.

[@paulettemurray1463]

Amazing as always. Suggest possibly antique clocks or lanterns with candles. Hope you have a most successful Market event.

[@preetisinghal8134]

All the best & enjoy 😊 & have fun

[@elisareynozo9510]

OMG!! Pre market video and no stitchy tube song! Good luck to you!!

[@jeanpurvis1620]

Hey Teresa! Wow on your new releases. Jenny Bean - yes! Amazingly beautiful (and large piece - no, no kitties). I’ve been on your site and love seeing the new market items...going to be a great year of stitching. Sharing your prep activities for market is interesting and you seem very calm. Safe travels and prayers for your continued good health. Have fun and enjoy the show. 💕

[@tammimattox397]

Great new designs, I especially love the antique birds! Hope you have a great time at Nashville and NO gall bladder problems!

[@joannemoore826]

Stay healthy and wishing you a fabulous time! Love the antique birds and cant wait to add it to my collection as well as sooo many more! 😊

[@lesliehurley-phatcatphloss1754]

Have a great and successful market!

[@Xstitchmd]

Beautiful new pieces, Teresa!! Sending all the quiet & calm vibes for your gallbladder. Hope you have a safe drive to Nashville & do amazing at market! Can't wait to see the interviews!

[@jaynebarrell1606]

Hope you have a fabulous market and that your gall bladder behaves! For your series I wondered if jugs would work? Or coffee pots or tea pots unless they are too big. Maybe a gardening one - spades, dibbers etc. Compasses? Birds? Love the idea of you bringing out lots more of them 😊

[@roseannkowitz2652]

Good luck and safe travels

[@carolceleste7833]

Good luck Teresa and have fun. Btw, all the water you are drinking, your skin is glowing! You've inspired me to try to drink more (water!) .

[@Lllr55]

Have a great time at Market! Hope you sell out!! 😊♥️

[@cassyg8439]

I love the Ann Dale reproduction sampler! 😍 How about Antique trees and animals? I love anything trees! Good luck and enjoy market! Such an exciting time for cross stitching!

[@julievanderheide5794]

Safe travels and best of luck at Market! Praying that your gall bladder behaves!!

[@shortmom5764]

Love your videos! Have a great time at market and I will be praying the gallbladder behaves itself

[@reneebebla422]

Everything is beautiful and love the birds! Good luck at the market and good health.

[@cindyhawkins4527]

I'm going to be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers all weekend....I have had both gall stones and kidney stones. Just watch what you eat, avoid fat, fried stuff, too much red meat. Best wishes, and safe travels! Oh, and, I now must stitch Jenny Bean....my And They Sinned is lonesome!

[@jodischell2224]

Good luck at market! I will watch for your interviews! Love your new pieces! Market is going to be great!

[@jenniferkeeney305]

I've been checking every day for your new releases...yea!!!! Everything is WONDERFUL! I'll be ordering when you get back. I'll be praying for your safe travel and for a successful market!

[@aprilroberts7131]

I think my eye twitched when you said 402 x 531. Heh, heh. I may have to work up to a sampler that epic! Hope y'all have a safe ride to NVL and back. We are already haunting your website waiting for the Nash Stash listings to go live for ordering. Even my husband has decided what he wants to stitch (the Primitive Hare mermaid), and I am still window-shopping. :D

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

Have a safe, fun trip! Marilyn

[@nanrussell6423]

Thanks, Theresa, for sharing all this. Wishing much success and good health at Market.

[@nannettmcdougal-dykes2918]

Great video as alway....rewatch this one again on my Ipad....and that picture you posted on Instagram was so wrong...but funny....love the tongue thing....

[@libertybuckeye9663]

Have a great time & be safe😉 Hoping the best with the old gallbladder! Me, my mom & sister all had ours out in our 40’s. One of the worst pain ever and mine was more like a grit instead of stones. Love seeing Maria Phinney 1832 stitched up. I need to get mine stitched. It’s gorgeous 💚💚💚💚

[@Lily656]

Best of luck to you!! I know you will do well. You are such an amazing person and designer!! Can’t wait to see more videos from market. Will pray for no goofy gall bladder attacks! As always, loved your video!

[@betsywashburn9106]

Be safe and have a good time.

[@krizzy273]

Have a fantastic time at market :) I know having my own business how hard we push ourselves to get everything done, and we sometimes forget to have some good downtime and recharge. I hope that you get some time to take a few good breaths and the gall bladder behaves. I always watch your videos, and allow myself the time to listen, watch and stitch. Thank you :)

[@onachilds4657]

Love the antique birds .... how about antique cats???😻

[@bethwoods7035]

Thanks for all the details about what goes into preparing for market. What a lot of work. I’m praying that you will have a fantastic market and also that your gall bladder holds out!

[@roseheck9841]

This was such an amazing video! I loved your monologue about the new shop owner shopping for the first time at Nashville. That was amazing and so spot on! I’m so looking forward to your new releases and I’ll be waiting for the PDFs. And stay away from the fries 🍟😉

[@marla_a]

So glad others will be able to stitch Ann Dale. I stitched her and she is absolutely beautiful. Be safe, stay healthy and have fun! For your antique series, how about antique lamps?

[@donnaturner3857]

oh, lamps would be great!

[@cindylaun5962]

Best of luck with market! You have some beautiful new pieces. Hope you and Sue have a few minutes to go look around. Blessings for good health ! See ya after market

[@athenabesa380]

Thanks for sharing your prep week. You are so organized. Your new designs are beautiful especially the Jenny Bean parlor series. I have the first four and I got the fabric already. Now I can add the rest. I’m working on And They Sinned which I started last year and was wondering if there would be a matching one, now I know. Thanks and good luck, have fun and I hope your gb behaves. 😃

[@climbingstitcher6755]

Thanks for sharing some of your "behind the scenes." It's so interesting! I hope you have a great trip and can't wait to hear about your adventures when you get back! ~Jaffe

[@tomijane5039]

Fascinating show, Theresa - thank you for making it! I wish you the best with your great new designs, safe travels and the very best of health throughout. I love your Ann Dale, I have your original chart from a few years ago. Bless you!

[@cindybarger2250]

Have fun at Market. Your Market videos are always fun. Your new releases (and rerelease) are great! I had my gall bladder out 15 years ago and I have never missed it. My surgeon called me a “rock star” because I had so many gall stones. Other designers who have online shops/Etsy (those I can think of) are Teresa Kogut, Brenda Gervais, and Beth Twist. Can’t wait to hear how Market is!

[@sharoncrescent3659]

Oh the memories of market prep! I know you’ll have a great show, your new things are so nice! Love the marking sampler. Will send up a few Hail Mary’s for your gallbladder to behave. Fun fact, I had gallbladder problems way back in 2004 at the Columbus market. I had to go to the ER, Nancy from Hoffman watched my booth and I came back all squirrelly on pain meds. Had surgery two days after I came home. Good times lol 😆

[@mcnelleyfarms]

Safe travels!

[@primitivestitcher385]

I want (no, I NEED) it all! You've gone and done it again! They are all beautifully beautiful. Will be stalking you...okay, not you but your website Saturday. Wishing you loads of fun, low stress, safe travels and good health especially over this next week. Hugs and stitches, Suzette x

[@kimberlytattersfield9541]

Have a great market trip! Take care of yourself! Looking forward to see all the goodies from market.

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

Safe travels and stay healthy! You asked us to comment about other designers who have a shop and Brenda Gervais came to mind. Really enjoyed this video and your thought process for market. Will be ordering soon, but I'll pay it forward if I qualify for a gallstone 😬

[@lostknitter]

Here’s to safe travels and sending calm vibes to your gallbladder. Hope you have lots of sales and fun with friends at market!

[@marysedubeau8876]

Can't wait to get my hands on some of your new charts!!! Drive safely!! Good luck!!!

[@laurenlaney9031]

I neeeed Ann Dale!!! So excited for the pdf! Might have to buy the regular chart as well just to have a pretty one

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Have a wonderful and successful time!! Keep healthy!!! Safe travels!!!

[@kimberlycrabtree3543]

Best to you T! 😌

[@KentuckySampler]

Was all ready to sing the song 😂 I will keep everything crossed that your gall bladder behaves itself! My Schnauzer was growling at your cats behind you! I've never had her do that before!

[@lindameeks5228]

Hope your market is fun, profitable and the gallbladder doesn't rear it's ugly head. Have a good trip. I love how you talk like I'm sitting there and really enjoy that.

[@tammyspruce8213]

Best of luck with market! Try to remember to take it a bit easy with that gallbladder situation!

[@MaximumCrossStitchPowerHourEll]

Have a fantastic market! Sell all the things and find minions to lift for you. Have fun -and can’t wait to hear all About it when you get back!

[@911stitcher]

Gallbladder, behave yourself!! Love love the new releases and just wow on your finished Jenny Bean sampler. It’s amazing. Safe travels!

[@elenacoory5274]

Hi Teresa :) I love your newbies and wish you luck and a lot of fun at market!!!

[@tealelder6475]

I’m sorry you have to have your gallbladder out, but you’ll be so relieved. Gallbladder pain is the worst! I’ve never felt pain like it. Have a blast at market. Love your new releases.

[@deeptaysan3262]

Hello , you have a so beautiful channel 💕 I like to watch your videos every day 💗

[@nellymkoehler3920]

Safe travels, enjoy the market, love, love you charts!

[@gazellesneedlework7057]

Love your new designs. I look forward to adding to my Shakespeare’s Peddler collection. Good luck at market, travel safely, and take care of yourself!

[@peggyyoung1839]

I had mine out the end of October. Hopefully once you have yours out I hope you feel much better. I still have trouble with greasy or fried food, but at least the pain is gone.

[@cindygaudet1390]

Omg its huge but oh love it! They are all great but wow. You will do awesome at market, safe travels and enjoy!

[@carolthomson8608]

If you need medical attention while at the market, you could not be in a better place. Vanderbilt is a fantastic medical community. Good luck and have fun!

[@elisareagan2731]

Safe travels! Good luck with everything!
