SEE DEB’s HISTORY UNFOLD ON HER MONTAGE TAPESTRY-- #4 Country Stitchers V214

We provide needlework variety in what we share, stitch and finish. From Samplers and Smalls to Trips, Tips and Tricks. We find JOY in our NEEDLEWORK and DELIGHT in the friendships we make on our needlework journey. Thank you for joining us!
Since Deb began her current "Montage" piece, many viewers have asked her to explain her creative process. This video is "Deb's chat" about her construct!
Deb's first "tapestry" type piece was done years ago when she stitched the Mystery Sampler disseminated through the "Gift of Stitching" PDF magazine. While stitching this she added her own flair in areas that made the piece hers. This will link you to her "finish" of the piece.
This goes back to our "early years" on KZbin...

Thank you Deb for going solo. Please send Liz lots of love and I hope the family are continuing to mend. The montage is beautiful and will be such a history when you have completed it. Love the new floor stand it is lovely when you find something that fits with your sewing and just works. I hope you both enjoy your retreat and Liz gets a bit of a rest. Your games at Christmas sound a lot of fun and certainly a new tradition has been born.

Welcome!!❤️

[@vickiinkansas1399]

I always enjoy your montage updates. Enjoy your retreat. I will happily send our snow your way, but you have to take the cold temperatures with it. The lows are to be in the negative numbers and the high in the single digits for the next several days.

[@judyfunesti9149]

Fantastic video Deb!! Thank you for sharing your progress and your families update :). Looking forward to the next video with you and Liz.

[@grmanat]

I would happily send snow your way. Possible additional 9” and strong winds today. High Sunday is -7. The reindeer games sounded hilarious. How on earth did you come up with all the different challenges??? 😂

[@gracenellis1790]

Such fabulous work as usual.,love all creatures great and small. HappyNew Year

[@marjodeforest3762]

I was excited to see an update on your montage - you are so creative. I am hoping to get a new start on that same BBD you are planning for a start. Isn’t it beautiful. I am trying to get my gift stitching done first but it is calling my name.

[@varshakean6331]

Love your montage Deb.

[@deborahgoethe362]

Sounds like a lot of fun!

[@valeriesmith6423]

Love love love the Reindeer games idea! Awesome tradition! You my dear lady are genius! The Montage is GORGEOUS and I really love your new Podoky stand. This was a great video Debbie…missing Liz but totally get the illnesses going around. Praying things get better for her very soon and that you both totally enjoy your Retreat! Thank you both sooo much for your flosstubes and inspiration!

[@patburton837]

Beautiful work. I love it!

[@kathleenwaldron5423]

Deb, Thanks for spending so much time with us. Your stitching is beautiful. I love the thought of a stand so that you are ready to go whenever you get a bit of time. Your beautiful family is a treasure.

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

Great projects, & your montage is beautiful. Happy New Year! Marilyn

[@suzielambert2886]

[@crazyboutknitting]

Great video thank you so much

[@sandykalmeyer9523]

Your montage is coming along beautifully! Such talent you have. Your current projects and soon to be one are beautiful. I may need the one that you’re starting soon. I too love it. I have a question from another video. A while back you posted something you stitched in Sampler Threads Dungarees and Mustard. I loved it. Could you tell me the name of the pattern please?

[@susananselmi4843]

Thank you ❤

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Great game idea!!

[@jeanandreas3446]

Love the montage 😊

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Love this!

[@janinewolfe9486]

Hi Deb, love your montage, I have done the Mary Beale wreath and also did not make a wreath. You are so creative and I think there will be reindeer games in our future Christmas. My question is, I was wondering about the tree display you did last year. I would like to recreate that,but cannot find the display at Hobby Lobby. Can you tell me we’re in the store to look? I’ve been to 2 different stores with no luck. Thanks so much. I really enjoy your videos. Have a great retreat. I’m going to Myrtle Beach for a retreat the first week in February. Wishing for snow for you. We’ve had so much rain and more tomorrow. Yuk, but good stitching time. Xoxo

[@countrystitchers]

Hi, when I bought that piece, it was in the area of all of the baskets/storage items. I hope you can find it! Thanks for watching the video. ❤

[@gingershull2364]

Such a fun video! Your montage is stunning! Congratulations on another wedding!

[@dorissanders1950]

Absolutely love your montages! I am planning one..gathering ideas. There is no way I can stitch all my patterns. Will gladly send you snow from Missouri but it comes with high winds and subzero temperatures. You should pass on this. Good stitching weather though. Hope the retreat is enjoyable!

[@bethflorentino3169]

So great to see your montage progress on your new floor frame!! Have fun at your retreat and have a Happy Healthy New Year 🥳 I love your reindeer game idea for your adult kids, something to think about for next Christmas 🎅🏻🦌

[@coraliefevyer4252]

Your montage is beautiful and what a lovely way to use your patterns, you’ve got me thinking 🤔 now. X

[@bettylowdermilk4296]

Love the update on the Montage and hearing all about the fun reindeer games. Your family sounds so special.

[@scottydog6539]

Can imagine the fun enjoyed by your reindeer games. Sounds wonderful. Yes, now is the time to get stitching and straightening things up done.

[@elleemen4238]

Reindeer games sounds like fun. Nice to start new traditions.

[@sandrahayes3229]

Thanks for the great video! Oh I would love a PJ party video while your on retreat! My little grandson is crawling too! Best wishes to Liz and her family!

[@susanspratling]

Gosh the reindeer game sounded like so much fun

[@normajeansicard4842]

Hi Deb! Your montage is coming along beautifully. Thanks for sharing! The Reindeer Games sounds fun! I hope everyone is feeling better soon!

[@kimalley7202]

Great video, Deb, and your montage is absolutely beautiful. I love following both you and Liz. ❤️ So happy you’re still using the bag! What a pleasant surprise for you to share it again! I keep mine stuffed full of cross stitch items also. Great bags for grab and go! Enjoy your stitching time away! There’s nothing better than stitching time with friends!!!

[@conniesiefken4696]

Love seeing your montage, Deb! I'm a pattern follower, so I'm in awe of your creativity. Your reindeer games sound great - going to pass your ideas on to my sister who has four grown children. Guess the 11 grandchildren can laugh away as their parents try to win!

[@countrystitchers]

Hi Kim! Thanks for watching, happy new year!!❤

[@joanneneufeld8212]

What a wonderful new tradition you created with Reindeer Games. My bf has 2 kids both married and I must share this idea with her to do for their kids. As always your montage is beautiful. I love your creativity!

[@barbarabell6527]

Deb don't feel bad where I am we got rain to! Have a great time on your retreat! I live about 2hrs from where you will be.

[@kimturner8488]

Love watching your progress on your montage. Can't wait to see what you show next. The reindeer games sounds like it was a lot of fun. I may try to do something like that next year with our grown children, put some Christmas magic back into it for them.

[@debbieheyer8271]

Wonderful stitching- and the reindeer games sound like so much fun - have a great retreat

[@jaxcreativeinspirations]

What fun the Reindeer Games sounded like!! Those memories your kids will treasure forever… and pass down to their kids!! As always your montage is coming along beautifully! I remember when you started that! Have a great time at your retreat, hope you and Liz will continue to have good health and I look forward to your next video!

[@connieverbeck1110]

Great to see you!! Tell Liz hi!!! Always beautiful stitching!!!!

[@heartlandstitcher9825]

Your montage is stunning (I've followed from the beginning) And the reindeer games--hilarious!! Hope Liz and family will be well soon. Have fun at the retreat! Thanks.

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Wish I could send you our snow and wind and cold temps! It is miserable!

[@countingcrossstitches7846]

Montage is amazing! So fun to keep the traditional games each year. We started a Holiday Christmas coloring contest when the kids were adults. This year we added the Oreo roll game for $$$ in the cup at the other end of table. We filled 6 cups with condiments & one cup a with $$. They had to eat the Oreo with whatever was in the cup it rolled in. So fun to watch the kids & grands. Happy Stitching & enjoy your retreat! ❤️🪡🧵

[@angelahoward5352]

Thanks for sharing your experience with choices of stitching 🧵

[@donnabennett5106]

Hi Deb your Montage is simply gorgeous and coming along beautifully,wishing you and Liz a wonderful time at your retreat,Thankyou for sharing 🇳🇿🪡❤️

[@lorriehemerly7526]

Sounds like you had a great Christmas! And with a little one, it makes it so much more special. I was shopping at one of your LNS yesterday, so I was in your area. And yes the snow that was forecast for us this past weekend didn't turned out as promised. Have a great retreat.

[@maggieziehl9290]

Thank you. I had to stop on a quilt called Love Entwined for a number of years, got back to it and now I’m working and inspired again. Happy New Year and hope you have a wonderful year ❤

[@red_river_stitcher]

Loved your video! Your montage is so beautiful! I always enjoy seeing your progress and what else you’ve been stitching!

[@arhuntakamadebymizmouse5903]

I love watching the progress on your montage. I did a much smaller personalized sampler that I call Georgia Samplings with our state flower, the Cherokee Rose; a crate of peaches; a bucket of peanuts; a Georgia pine; etc. I used the Ultimate Sampler Motifs Source Book for my border and some other motifs. It is such a wonderful resource. Since I use it so much, I took mine to Office Max and had it spiral bound, making it easier to use.

[@cheryla786]

LOVE your Montage. It is just stunning! I cannot wait to see it finished

[@lorimiller1302]

What a great idea for a fun family gathering. Your montage is stunning. I hope all is going well for Liz and her family and that she gets a well deserved break at your retreat. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to work on at the retreat. Happy stitching!

[@Grandmalean]

I love the progress on your Montague. What a fun idea for a tradition of reindeer games. I did something similar to it when my son's birthday landed on Easter and he was into working out. I think I had used easter eggs which told him how many reps for each exercise he had to do, before he could move onto the next clue to get to his present. It was fun.

[@patriciaferry5880]

Fabulous update. Thanks for sharing. It's been awhile since we've seen the design. Please share again down the road.

[@cathypalmer1365]

Thanks Deb for sharing your needle work. Your projects are amazing! The reindeer game sounds like a fun Christmas tradition.

[@susanmccoy1992]

Hope Liz is feeling better! So good to see your montage...I think it's been a while since we've seen it. The reindeer games sound like fun! Ooo, one year you could do a scavenger hunt kind of thing!! Have fun at the retreat.

[@judycole8284]

Great time with you today, missed Liz, too! I'm with you and looking forward to the down time of weeks to come. Looking forward to seeing you again. Happy New Year😄

[@kathythomas4839]

Your montage is gorgeous! Can’t wait to see it finished! Grandkids are so much fun! We have 2 boys & 2 girls. I miss the baby stage but each stage is fun!

[@lisatripp-hs5tm]

Your piece is beautiful! I am in South Dakota. We are getting the snow you want. We also are getting winds therefore terrible minus 0 windchill. I love watching your Floss tube!

[@janniestanley]

What a wonderful video. I’m still smiling and even chuckled at your description of the reindeer games. Hope did you come up with all those ideas? Was hoping you’d catch us up on your montage. Love it. Amazes the heck out of me. Love to see the row of shops growing. And ya just can’t go wrong with Blackbird Designs. Enjoy your retreat and best wishes to you both. BTW I hate snow so bad we moved to Arizona from Colorado. lol!

[@lee-annbender5515]

I absolutely love your montage. I like your stand in that it expands the cross bar. I have a Hearthside Mark 2 so can easily stitch in my recliner and flips easy too. I wish it had the expandable cross bar though

[@lesliehurley-phatcatphloss1754]

Your montage is gorgeous and so creative!

[@lorrainehay9348]

Hi Deb, thank you so much for sharing. Your stitch is awesome, and I am so looking forward to seeing it finished. Happy New Year from New Zealand. ❤🎉

[@sylviasanchez-freitas3455]

WOW your montage is coming along just great. Take care.🎉

[@chrissieb3350]

What a great video, Deb! Missed Liz and I hope if she’s not feeling well she’s back quickly and feeling much better. That montage is a masterpiece…. Reindeer games sounds like a ball! Now you have me thinking for next Christmas….

[@beckyess7399]

I always enjoy your videos (miss you Liz!), and was so glad to see the montage. I had been wondering how it was going, and it’s beautiful. No surprise there! I was especially happy to hear about your Christmas! What a fun family time!! That’s how it’s supposed to be. So very happy for you and your crew! ❤ Happy New Year! 🎉

[@debbiedomagal6839]

Thanks Deb, that was great!!!

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

Your Montage is so beautiful, Deb, and I love the other wips and new starts you showed as well. Your new family tradition of the Reindeer Games sounds so fun and I'm glad that you and Liz had a great Christmas. It''s so great that you and Liz are planning to go to a retreat soon and am looking forward to hearing and seeing your recap of that in the near future. Thank you so much for another great video. Wishing you and Liz and both of your families a very Happy New Year.

[@cynthiahenderson370]

Heading to Gatlinburg for a retreat this weekend. I know you mentioned a few shops. Please remind me where to stop?

[@cindygaudet1390]

So beautiful and such ideas on your montage. Love it so much. And your plans for your retreat, love fraktur flowers, might be my next plan. Congratulations to Logan and Bri, such fun another wedding. Where did you think of the ideas for reindeer games,that sounds such fun! And oh sweet Rhett he is definitely adorable❤

[@Carol-qg2dp]

Good Morning from very cold Indiana, Can you explain how you work your “rats nest”? The biggest question I have is “how do you keep the colors straight when they may only vary slightly in tone”? I so enjoy watching your videos. Keep warm and safe. Thank you,

[@karinemartimort6544]

Stunning just stunning

[@shirleyjones954]

Hi Deb. Rather than moving the floor stand try using a chair on wheels. I’ve found that a good solution. Really enjoyed your video!

[@countrystitchers]

I really love my chair. I would rather move my stand and have to buy a new chair😂

[@lindaschmidt6320]

Beauiful work Deb. When did you start your Montage? Happy New Year.🎈

[@kikili2472]

I always enjoy an update on your montage! It is stunningly beautiful. I love how meaningful each addition is. And another wedding?! What an exciting time for your family Deb! Thank you for sharing. And we missed you Liz!

[@lorraineciglar3744]

Beautiful. Love your montage and the stand is magnificent. What type of light do you have clipped to your stand. Thank you.

[@marlenezagar4487]

Thanks for sharing your work. Love it! Love your Reindeer games idea. Where do u get the thread you used on the side?

[@chloetenbusch7331]

Thanks Deb for letting us know how. you guys have been. I have a question for you and Liz. Do know where I can find some Native American cross stitch patterns ?

[@countrystitchers]

Not sure but I would imagine you could find quite a few doing a quick Google search and or checking with any of the retail or online shops. ❤
