[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@samanthaphillips5102]

Hi Sarah! Happy 16th Birthday to your son! Thank you very much for the video, and showing us the progress on your block. Your bunny is so cute bouncing in the green lacy field with lovely stitched flowers! Your stitched flowers are great! So sweet! I'm looking forward to seeing your finished bunny block next week! TFS I hope you feel better soon! Have fun! Happy Stitching! Samantha

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks very much Samantha 💕

[@debbiesavage7107]

Beautiful! Love the flower work! I put backstitch around my bunny but i think the couching you did was a better choice. It pops more. Very inspiring!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks Debbie- you could whip the back stitch to give it more definition

[@dianpapay7927]

Love all of the fabric painting and the sweet bunny.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@patriciahavill8099]

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@debpapp1970]

So wonderful Sarah! Looking forward to the next video! Love how you said when embroidering the flower “that it’s like painting with thread”!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@anitamorrison6708]

Love how you embellished the flowers. Thanks for sharing your process!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@marymcmullen6902]

Sarah your block is simply stunning…so vibrant! “Painting the fabric with thread” is one of the things I would like to get the hang of. Happy birthday to your son and I hope you are feeling better.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks Mary 😊💖

[@susannaeasdale1162]

Love this Sarah, your colours are so bright and cheery and that bunny is so cute. Tfs Hugs Susanna xx 😄🐇🪡🧵

[@judyjudy3058]

So beautiful Sarah. Thank you for sharing your talents.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@reginaeid1568]

Beautiful , this is so pleasing to look at! I hope you are enjoying this as much as the rest of us are and that it’s not too much work for you!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@ericastannard2635]

Sarah, your block is fantastically beautiful! The flowers are so full & exciting & the shading on the bunny is so well-thought out! Never in a million years would that even occur to me, much less know how to figure out what exactly to do. Thank you for pointing out while stitching all the different colors of thread & their weights & all the names of the stitches! I especially liked your expression that you are painting the flowers! That’s exactly how it looks & it’s really gorgeous! Just like the impressionist paintings, it looks it a little rough closeup, but from a distance it’s just perfect! It’s just a really wonderful scene & I’m excited to see how you finish it. I hope you have a restful week ahead, with a little downtime to recover from the last few really busy days! Happy 16th to your son, that’s an exciting milestone. Take care & be healthy!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments Erica 💕

[@suehughes1481]

I loved seeing the whole process from dyeing, to selecting fabrics and stitching down, to the quilted bunny and all of the stitchery!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sandraipeterson]

This is gorgeous!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@SharonHoerth]

I love how you did your flowers! Thanks Sarah!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

I love doing flowers like that!

[@karenchr14]

Hi Rachel. I'm doing a refresher course with you and season one. Sometimes I just need to go back to basics! Love all you do. Rather primative.

[@hollylapinski3328]

Lovely visualization..."Painting the fabric with thread." 😊💜 Thank you for sharing! I'm sorry you were feeling bad and I'm glad you are feeling better. 🙏🏼

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much Holly 😊

[@audreylittlewood1313]

Beautiful so far, can't wait to see what you do with the lace.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@collenrose3957]

Sarah, thank you for showing how you couched around the bunny. I find couching hard for me. Overall your piece looks fantastic. Have a blessed day 🌈🙏💜🌈

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊- couching is a little awkward when you start but then it starts flowing

[@LauraMe...]

Really cute Sarah! Tfs

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@mariaescotto7666]

Your square is adorable! I am a newbie and so glad for all the pointers.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@raelynnreffruschinni8802]

So cute! The fluffy tail really makes it.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@susanrascone2372]

Your block is beautiful. The bunny is so cute. My poor bunny's tail is pretty sparse looking but I will add to it. Love the way you did the flowers too.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊 yes you can add more stitches to make it nice and fluffy

[@lauraforrest4261]

I hope you are feeling better. No need to apologize to us, just glad you got your booster. I love the bunny's tail and the flowers are gorgeous.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much Laura 😊

[@karenpuschmann4157]

Love watching the process..better get back to mine...

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@barbarabeckman6722]

Love your bunny....still working on mine :}

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Lots of time 😁

[@jcristi321]

I like the couched outline. I’m working on a different project and that will be the perfect way to outline my birdie! Hadn’t thought to do that before. I always learn something when I watch you and Rachel stitch.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@lisazilaro6906]

Your page is so nice, like how your stitching on the flowers make them more pronounced. Thank you Sarah, feel better. 🧵🪡

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much Lisa 😊

Wonderful stitchery, Sarah. Looking forward to next session. Carol

Thanks so much 😊

[@PandorasJunkJournals]

Love your page. I’m going to try the dying soon. Thanks Sarah for the video. Happy birthday to your son. I have a granddaughter who is turning 16 next month. 😳

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much Pam and happy birthday to your granddaughter 🥳

[@dagmarleuenberger-swift8646]

Gorgeous Sarah..it’s such an inspiring block. ❤️❤️❤️

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

[@cathiespalding2083]

This is so adorable. Absolutely love the materials you used!

Thanks Cathie. :)

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

So very beautiful Sarah.

[@carollaws838]

Very pretty Sarah, love how it turned out, and hope you had a good visit xx

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much Carol 😊

[@lori88ish]

Sarah this is so gorgeous, i love how the dyed pieces turned out. Your composition is fabulous, This will we so stunning when finished. I am way behind at the moment, I have my sample pages almost done i am not entirely happy with it but will keep it as I am a beginner and it will be interesting to see if I improve or not. I am so enjoying watching you and Rachael, and also being able to see Juju's work as well Not sure how long it will take me to get caught up but that is the goal and with you and Rachel providing the inspiration it really helps so much . Thanks so much for sharing Hugs and Smiles

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Don't worry you have lots of time to get this project done and your stitching will definitely get better as you go 😊

[@schrellkauffman9303]

Love your bunny and the flowers are beautiful! I am still working on mine but love to see what you are doing!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@redparrot9489]

Yes. Very hard to know when to stop. I feel like February I need to try the less-is-more approach. Having said that - my family motto is “anything worth doing is worth over doing “ 💕💕💕

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

I like your family motto 😁💕

[@caronwood1316]

Thank you! I learned turkey work that way as well. Few days left, I had better stop faffing about.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

It’s easier that way and doesn’t seem to be a problem 😁

[@barbaracheatham692]

Love your dyed laces. They turned out so good. My block is similar to yours but in portrait layout instead of landscape. I’m using a felt bunny I cut from a gray wool felt. Hopefully I will finish by next week. I’m a bit behind. I had a cut on my pointer finger right at the tip. It’s finally on the mend.

[@samanthaphillips5102]

Barbara, Shoot! What a bad spot for a cut! Happy that you are on the mend now!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Sounds great Barbara - Thanks so much 😊

[@judyglasson2119]

Your block is so beautiful with all the colour. There is an exuberance to the stitching that both you girls do even though you are so different. Thanks for sharing. I'm getting on with mine, slowly. I don't know how to take a photo and show it yet, but I'll get one of my girls to show me soon.

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Can’t wait to see it Judy 💕

[@midgeberg22]

I love it!!!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks 😁

[@maritaranda7782]

🤩💖😍

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊

[@cindyadams376]

Late joiner here! Someone might have already shared this tip, but as I watch you struggle with 6 strands, which actually is 12 to pull through, I decided I had to share. Split your threads into 3 strands, thread your needle, double your threads and tie your knot. You will be stitching with a full 6 strands. But you are pulling only 6 through the fabric, instead of the double 6.

[@patsyuehara9619]

Beautiful!

[@roxycreationsbysarah]

Thanks so much 😊
