TY Jeri. Sry still sick so I'm slow. TFS. Today's Quote:“Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail.” - Charles Kettering. Huge hugs. Namesta 🐞🐞🐞

[@JeriBellini]

You're still sick? OMG Lala, that's a LONG time. Please take care of yourself! 💛

[@marilynbridger9612]

Really enjoyed learning this stitch thankyou!

[@JeriBellini]

I am going to use this stitch on my Dots, I hope you saw that video too! Thank you for being here! 💛

[@hadiel6894]

Grazie❤

[@JeriBellini]

You are so welcome! 💛

[@ljshaw8516]

Sorry about the hiccups on your KZbin. All's been great viewing from New Mexico!🌵**Your Zoom in is perfect!

[@JeriBellini]

Finally! It took awhile to get the zoomed angle in with out blurring and I don't think it blurred AT ALL! Thanks for leaving a comment, it means the world to me! 💛

[@coloradoblueskiesboutique7720]

Jeri, Sue Spargo has tags to go with her needles. Could save a lot of time sewing the names and sizes.❤

[@JeriBellini]

I know! LOL I got some when I ordered her needles but I added a few other needles and wanted to use my own rattie edged ones! I'm going to stitch them on tonight finally! I have to get my table cleaned off! ❤️

[@cathywhitney8194]

Cute strawberry ornament. ❤ 3 comments to help the algorithm. Lol

[@JeriBellini]

You're the best! Thanks for being here Cathy! sending hugs!!! 💛

[@gaylecmiel8221]

Hi Jeri…I’d love a video or live or whatever to demo how you’ll make your needle roll. Ihave the same concerns…needles of all different sizes getting mixed together and not know one form the other! We would be so smart!!😜. Gayle in MN.

[@JeriBellini]

I finished mine finally and would be happy to show it! 💜

[@bevricker4812]

I tried two and three wraps for a larger coral bell

[@JeriBellini]

I'll have to try that, it sounds wonderful! ❤️

[@dailydoseofpaper]

Thank you Jeri! I love couching and never knew this stitch so will give it a try. K3n has got me deep into stitching. Love your channel, hugs from the Netherlands💖🍀

[@JeriBellini]

Deep is good! Stitching is so good for the soul I think, and something we can do 15 minutes a day. It's like taking your vitamins, you wouldn't skip a day would you? LOL Thanks for being here! 💛

[@marcijlo]

Jeri as always I enjoy your videos and am happy to see your inspiration. Winter is fast approaching and all your ideas will be perfect for the winter days too! Take care and keep moving! Much love Marcy❣️

[@JeriBellini]

Thanks Marci! I am grateful for you! 💛

[@hollyburke1531]

I’m enjoying your videos and totally agree re the embroidery stitch books. I wanted to tell you about an author I recently discovered and immediately bought her book and started using it! I think you will love it too. Foolproof flower embroidery by Jennifer Clouston. I bought it from Amazon. She also has a great you tube channel. And I follow K3n too!

[@JeriBellini]

OOOhhh... thank you! I'm off to check her out! Thanks for watching! 💛

[@rosemaryhaverstock1224]

This was very interesting, I just found you yesterday. I am an English woman living in Canada. I like to hand embellish with simple stitches so thank you 😊 ❤

[@JeriBellini]

You are so welcome! I love any type of stitching! Welcome! ❤️

[@deblee1958]

I love the look of the coral stitch, I gave it a try and did okay and then the thread went loopy which was a nice look but not what I was trying for, so practice is in my future. Just a side note what I have learned from watching other KZbin channels is if a viewers doesn't watch the entire video at one time it will make a difference in the algorithms, so if I can't watch an entire video at one sitting I will often let it play anyway or I wait until I have the time to watch.

[@JeriBellini]

I love that you let it play! I'm trying to TIMESTAMP my videos so people can come in and out of them. Thank you for supporting me! And practice, practice, practice! oxox ♥️

[@k3n.clothtales]

Love your little book ❤

[@JeriBellini]

Thanks Kathryn! 💛💛💛

[@k3n.clothtales]

I would never click you off but I was saying Jer get the needle in the cloth already and I roared with laughter when you said it straight after and made Stella jump out of her skin. 😂 D'you see, d'you see? 😉❤️❤️❤️

[@JeriBellini]

🤣 I love you! My poor watchers! My brain just doesn't work like most peoples and I just kept thinking of something else I wanted to say... LOLOLOLOL Alright already Jeri! Thanks for watching! 💛

[@k3n.clothtales]

Back atcha 😁♥️

[@marilynbridger9612]

❤you are both amazingly inspirational x

[@janekrut2799]

I lvoe the stitch and the flower, will try soon.

[@gailblauw9843]

Have you tried Karen Kay Buckley Perfect Circles? Game changer!!!!

[@JeriBellini]

NO!? I will go look right now! Thanks for sharing that! ♥️♥️♥️

[@MichellesHandmadeCreations]

Because those books don't show what to do with the stitches, not much anyway, I thought the coral stitch was just a straight stitch with a French knot at the end. But you showed me that it's much more. Your finished sample for the stitch looks like a cabbage rose and it's really pretty. Love your square wool pieces with the circles in the center. Is that the beginning of the dot a day series, or is it an off-shoot thereof? I enjoy your story time, because, and I think I've said this before, it's like hanging out with a girlfriend. Your little strawberries are adorable. I look forward to seeing your needle scroll. I've seen some people make and use needle books. I haven't gotten that far. I'm still organizing my fabrics. I always "like" your videos, even if I don't comment. Thanks for sharing.

[@JeriBellini]

Hi Michelle, The wool dots were started during Covid. I've always liked circles and the dots came about from following Jude Hill. She keeps things really simple and encourages lots of experimentation. Thank you for your comment and I'm glad to know you're out there, I feel the same way when I am making my videos, like I'm hanging out with a friend! 💜

[@carolynrockafellow417]

Oh wow I love that coral stitch beautiful especially with the variegated thread. I have Sue Spargo’s book. Great book. So enjoy your videos. I love wool stitching too. My mind is blowing up with all this stuff. lol who has time to sleep and eat. 😂thank you for sharing. So enjoy your videos.

[@JeriBellini]

LOLOL I KNOW what you mean, as soon as my eyes pop open I'm up and running! So many things to do not enough hours! 💜

[@debzehr3244]

Thank you for sharing this stitch. I think coral stitch is going to become one of my favorites. 💖 I love your idea of wrapping your scroll on driftwood. 💖💖

[@JeriBellini]

That Coral stitch is going on one of my Dots! I really enjoyed using it! ♥️

[@BernieRoss]

Hi Jeri I’m a fairly new follower of your channel, and I love it ♥️…love to you from Melbourne Australia ! I love the coral stitch…now to do some stitching instead of just watching your videos 🤭🤭

[@JeriBellini]

Great idea! Stitch and watch! Thanks for being here! ❤️

[@susandeveaux4117]

Love this coral stitch !!! That peachie variegated thread is cool too…what kind of thread is i ??? I love the thickish texture!!! Thanks for your videos !! 🪡🧵💙

[@JeriBellini]

It's a DMC size 5. I think I picked it up at an embroidery shop. It did make a pretty flower! 💛 Thank you SO much for watching and leaving a comment! 💛

[@margaretbachmeier5299]

Hello Jenni, the videos I’m watching about the kanwandi quilt is not a lot of people talk about the bottom fabric. The one you start on. The question is what kind of Fabric do I use. Quilt Cotton, Flannel. The one you used , the one that sew like butter, haha. I forgot the name. What do I use… please help. I’m learning from You how to make a Kanwandi quilt. Thank You.

[@JeriBellini]

I used cotton quilting fabric in one but I think you are referring to the quilt I made where I used wool for the backing. It's very non traditional but it does quilt like butter and I enjoy it. Have fun whatever you decide to do! It's all about experimenting and having fun! 💛

[@brendagoulette759]

I've never seen this stitch. So pretty ❤️ I know some how KZbin messes up the bell notification button. It hasn't done it to me in a while but I have read about others having that problem. Glad you got to go see your granddaughter for her birthday.. ❤

[@JeriBellini]

I LOVE spending time with the grand babies! Thank you so much for being here! 💛

[@ljshaw8516]

First Jeri, I'd never turn you off, next "I always say going rogue is the way this gal rolls" and Happy Double Digit bday to your granddaughter!! x's lj

[@JeriBellini]

I'll tell Ida! And I appreciate you loving me for who I am! LOL 💛 Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@mariemiddleton467]

Thank you for showing how to do the stitch and what it can be used for. Your strawberries are very cute. I joined a block of the month called "Rooted" by Sue Spargo. It was suppose to take a year to complete but it took me about 2 years. I have the needles sold on her website and don't know of a good way to store them. And now the plastic tube they are stored in are falling apart. I would really like to see what you come up with! I enjoy watching your videos 😊

[@JeriBellini]

Oh Thank you so much for your comment and I'll be sure to show you my needle roll. I was going to try a LIVE and show it but it's so boring! LOL SO I stitched around the outside edge and I can just show it in a video.. I'm hoping it will work the way I have in my mind! 💛 Your Rooted sounds wonderful, I'll google it to see what it looks like.

[@RebeccaStokes-g6t]

Love this stitch - definitely new to me💕. Thank you🥰

[@JeriBellini]

Great! I enjoyed it too, thanks for leaving a comment! 💛

[@annmariehayes5641]

I have been going through your videos and liking them hope this helps out? Edit i love the coral stitch in the circle better ❤

[@JeriBellini]

Yes! Thank you! Watch them too if you have time! One of my friends lets them run on and on to put her to sleep! LOLOLOLOL 💜💜💜

[@bevricker4812]

I would do single stitches at different angles to make grassy weeds along the bottom

[@JeriBellini]

that sounds wonderful!! ❤️

[@kathrynburrowes3102]

Love your channel! Im following along each week❤

[@JeriBellini]

Wonderful! I'm so happy! 💜💜💜

[@marilynalexieff285]

[@JeriBellini]

You’re welcome 😊 💜

[@charlottewright7549]

This was great always like to learn something new.

[@JeriBellini]

Glad you enjoyed it! 💛💛💛

[@cathywhitney8194]

I have no idea what a cofi??? page even is. Can you explain?

[@JeriBellini]

Oh sure Cathy, firstly, type in Kofi... and it will take you there. Simply put it's a way to support your favorite content creators for the free content they offer on YT. Creators use Ko-fi as a simple 'tip-jar' to receive donations and/or they can offer private extra things that they don't do on YT. The donation or tip, can be a once and done or it can be a monthly pledge. Hope that makes sense. I have a link in my description box, you can take a look to see what I set up. Clicking on the link won't automatically make you donate anything, but will let you take a look around. Thanks for asking!!! 💛💛💛💛💛

[@karencraig1121]

Great stitch, thanks for sharing.

[@JeriBellini]

You are welcome! I found it to be a very relaxing stitch to do, sorta like slow stitching, methodical and meditative. 💛

[@lindaschillers6405]

Hi there Jeri! i'm absolutely loving this coral stitch! it is new to me. i really appreciate how well you demonstrate the stitches for us to be able to learn it so easily. will you please tell me where to buy your fabulous felts that you made your lovely strawberries with? they are really beautiful! i "need" some!! you know how it is. i'm so excited to be joining you and everyone else on the DOT adventures! i'm buying the necessary tools to get started. i'm planning on making these DOT squares into my very FIRST quilt and i'm going to keep it for myself to use. i love your channel and am so happy to have found you through Kathryn several months ago. Jennifer Clouston now has 4 terrific embroidery books and a newish channel. i know you will appreciate her work and her artistic sensibilities. THANK YOU JERI for being yourself and for inspiring us all. take good care. linda from california

[@JeriBellini]

I got 2 of her books from the library, I believe it was you that told me about her originally. And I have watched her vids. The strawberries are made from dyed wool. I am going to dye some this summer and will put it in my etsy shop. I'll be sure to let everyone know. I. have a whole bolt of wool! I don't do anything in a small way! 💜

[@lindaschillers6405]

thanks for answering Jeri! i will buy some wools when they are ready. gorgeous colors. i forgot to mention that i am so appreciating that you are teaching us other ways to use each stitch you demonstrate. this is just so darn HELPFUL!!!! THANK YOU!!! linda from California

Isn’t it amazing there are so many beautiful stitches out there. I tend to use the same ones all the time that I feel comfortable with. I will be trying these new ones that you are showing. Thanks for all you do.❤❤

[@JeriBellini]

I hear that! I'm the same way... and I was thinking why can't we use some of these simple embroidery stitches in our slow stitching projects?? I mean this one in particular is very meditative... Thanks for being here and leaving a comment. I really apprieciate it! 💛
