I like the way you hold your beautiful works close to camera and show them for a while so we can really see!

the wedding sampler is striking. love those colors

[@marygorden2334]

I’m retired after a career in my school district communication department. You can certainly make s simple ornament. Just follow Cindy’s Cross Stitch tutorial for finishing ornaments. My 30 year old daughter is obsessed with D&D. Aren’t you cool to stitch your daughter something game related! It’s easy! Glad to meet you! Happy stitching!

3 years 7 months and 29 days to retirement for me....I can't wait to be "bored" ....I am pretty sure I will not be bored! I don't want to rush getting older, but I do look forward to having more time for stitching and other crafts! I love Picture This Plus fabric. I was in a PTP club last year. I loved getting their beautiful fabric in the mail once a month.

I watched both of your videos and they are lovely hubby walked through the room and thought it looked like you had an great looking space. I retired in June and you are correct I can fill my time 😊. You have some great projects going. I did coming to America a d show it framed up in one of my episodes. Look forward to visiting again. Blessings

If I could type with more than one finger I would have many questions, anyway pleasure to have found you!

[@samplerstyle]

Hopefully your questions will be answered as I continue to record! Thank you.

[@denisevoss8901]

If you put silks on the thread drops, I take the whole skein off and then pull the individual thread out. I like the colors you subbed on The Hound and The Hare. You’re really moving along on the Wedding Sampler! Really pretty!

[@samplerstyle]

Thanks, yes! I have a kit to show next time, and the silks are already cut. I think I'm going to do exactly as you say.

[@CynPope1]

Yup retired after 35 years of being a school psychologist. Oh the fun I have now crafting and creating..NEVER ever bored.

[@fudgeandfrogsallmayniaallt6953]

I retired on March 13, 2020...the day our governor declared a state of emergency due to COVID. Since then I have cross stitched, knitted, crocheted and tatted like it was my J.O.B. I never have an excuse to be bored. While I was still working I collected stash so I would be ready for retirement but I think I’ve bought more stash since I retired than I already had LOL.

[@lindamanning7348]

I am retired after 33 years of teaching. You are right. I am NEVER bored!

[@samplerstyle]

Oh my goodness, I can't imagine being in a school setting right now!! Teachers should get SO MUCH CREDIT.

[@MokkiLifewithLaura]

You are soooo right, I retired Sept 2019 and even with all that has gone on since then, I am NOT bored in the least!!!!! Actually I still feel like I am on a leave of absence and I’m just trying to get everything done before I have to return to work! 😂 🤦🏻‍♀️ The fabric pieces in your haul a beautiful ❤️

[@samplerstyle]

Oh yes, sometimes I wake up and think, what do I have to do for work today? Oh wait.....💕

[@mm-qm9zh]

Yep! I also like the Ale for Anne Gott! 🪡 Meline

[@samplerstyle]

Oh great! Yes, I think it's closer to what the antique looks like. Thanks for your input! 😃

[@audrea5515]

Old mushroom is beautiful!

[@samplerstyle]

I know! It needs a very special project....

[@merylehawkins5177]

I am retired and I had more time when I worked. I think I was more organised then but now I enjoy my creative crafty life. There is never enough time.

[@samplerstyle]

Oh my goodness, I'm always saying that (about free time). I'm organized, but I always have something to do!

[@wwjackie7751]

Thank you! I tried to find Coming to America pattern, but the site in your link is only selling the kit. Would you please have another recommendation to purchase just the pattern. Thanks so much!

[@debzamot5291]

[@samplerstyle]

[@cindyyates2864]

Hi, curious what type of hoop or stand you use for cross stitch ?

[@samplerstyle]

I used "Hoop and Frame" 5/8 inch 10 inch hoops and I wrap them with twill tape (which they also sell) hoopandframe.com/collections/round-wooden-hoops/products/round-wooden-embroidery-hoop-5-8?variant=12581857787961
