Snippets of my stitching life

Hi Peeps
It’s good to be back stitching in the garden! Getting back into it after an unexpected extend stay in Bungendore with family ☺️
Happy stitching!
Jenny C

[@justpassingthroughthistime9947]

I love your snippets just as they are and the best thing about YT is that we can slow down the pace and repeat as many times as we need to. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Thank you for taking the time to post a comment. 😊

[@lindaherrington6291]

Glad you feel well enough now to sit in the sun with the beautiful bird sounds and stitch with us. Wishing you a full and continued recovery.

[@iwantmy_sk844]

Yes!!!😉

[@claudiaforrest6669]

I have missed you so much Jennifer and glad you feel better. Enjoy your week teaching. Your linens and stitching are gorgeous in this fabric roll. Hope you show us more of it all rolled out. Love your videos just as they are. Don’t stress!

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Jennifer for your video and company today. I am so sorry you were poorly, just when you think it's all over turns out it's not. Love these little snippets sitting with you in your lovely garden in sun and birds. Such a peaceful ten minutes . I watch Corrine and she numbers hers due to the array of different projects. We just sit with you as friends would for a stitching coffee break. I don't feel that numbers are necessary for your videos. I hope you continue to feel better my goodness what a start you have had this year, you have had your three now, two eyes and covid, all done.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

I sure have had a year, Carol, but not as bad as others. I am pleased that you agree with the numbering - it’s just not what I set out to do in my videos. Thanks for your support. XxX

[@judymarkel8029]

I am so sorry you were sick. I got Covid once. I didn't get the normal pains with Covid. I got a horrible back and leg aches. I love your stitching videos. They are like a good friend dropping by to chat. I drop everything and watch. I love them. Thank you.

[@nancymorgen1640]

Don't stress yourself about trying to number and sequence your videos. I love the serendipity of your daily stitching. I'm so happy you have recovered from covid and are well enough to return to your stitching.

[@anntaylor445]

I love your videos as you now do them. It is a treat to watch you stitch.

[@carrold815]

Glad you are better from covid. Love the stitching random stitches no planned patterns makes us realise we can achieve our own look in stitchery

[@sewpaper2linc364]

Hi Jennifer, I’m stitching on a panel for the basket from your book. three of the panels have a crazy patchwork design. next I will stitch the embroidery on to the panels. I’m enjoying your books so far, Though I need to spend more time on stitching. The videos can be sorted by date and any viewer can do that easily. Don’t bother with numbering them it takes the fluidity and enjoyment of stitching away by getting too technical. I enjoy watching you stitch when the mood takes you. cheers Anita from Tweed heads 🧵🪡

[@pamgreen1898]

Glad to have you back, stay as you are videowise. its very refreshing and enjoyable x you do you x

[@sandrateter7720]

Counting days til book arrives…..thank you for the inspiration.

[@giusicoluccia6594]

Take care,Jennifer! Love your snippet roll ❤❤❤ Thank you!

[@debrabuckley883]

I’m so glad you are feeling better. That COVID is nasty. It kicks your butt. I was three months before I felt normal again ! I enjoyed the video so much. You make everything look so easy!

[@WendyLockley]

I'm glad you're on the mend. Please take care of yourself - Covid knocks you for six and can reoccur weeks afterwards! Another aspiration snippet - so relaxing hearing the birds and your wonderful voice, creating beautiful art x, you're an amazing talented lady- thank you for sharing your gift (can't wait for new book!).

[@margaretheschmidt7062]

Well a week after my surgery I am back stiching. Like an addict I watch you stich along I just HAD to trie😅. Just one little twig, one little flower, some little thorns while listening to your charming voice and those lovely birds (happend to love crows

[@carolbartlow5690]

I am so relieved to hear what was keeping you from your routine stitching post. I checked several times every day and was praying for you. I am so glad to have you back. I love your inspiration and showing us how to let the thread and needle do their thing. It is very "freeing". My thoughts about the video numbering come from my own frustration in finding the sequence of videos for specific projects. I am currently stitching your hexagon bag. I have watched all the way through, but now as I am in process, I like to refer back to the stage where I am currently working. Therein is the challenge. I know there were side trails that you took through the whole bag making process. Maybe a suggestion would be to put special videos, like the bag, into a playlist. Thank you again for giving so much of yourself. I have preordered your new book and anxiously await it's arrival.

[@debpapp1970]

Glad you are feeling better and are back on You Tube doing what you love to do!!! We missed you and hope you continue to get back to good health! Recently I have been stitching daily on very colorful Kaffe Fassett collaged fabrics in a composition that I created. Having lots of fun and enjoying the stitching so much!

[@gemmabianchi9209]

Jennifer I love all your work. I am going to buy your books asap.Thank you for sharing your gifts.

[@diannecousins2321]

So sorry you had Covid and so glad you are recovered. Sadly I lost my son through Covid two years ago so I know how unwell some folk are with it as it was horrendous to be in a Covid ward during the pandemic. Love what you are doing too and you’ve taught me to use my tangle now too xx

[@apronhugsingreeenbay]

Speaking about organized KZbin videos - I PREFER your UN-numbered way of sharing. It feels free and intuitive, like your stitching seems to me. I plan and organize only as much as I need to in order to achieve my goal and the look I want. ❤️

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Thank you, yes, I work very intuitively! It works for me. 🪡🐦‍⬛🪡🐦‍⬛

[@janrichards6519]

Lovely to have you back 😊 You may be later than usual but... the birdsong is different & just as wonderful to hear 😃

[@lindamorgan3069]

🤗So happy to see you pop up on my screen this afternoon and so pleased you have recovered from Covid - thought it might have been the injured finger. Such a treat to watch you embroidering your scroll, it’s beautiful and made me so happy I took time to sort out the necessary to start mine today! Thank you as always for the video and looking forward eagerly to get your new book which is scheduled for delivery end of July in the UK. ❤

[@susannieuwoudt9054]

Covid can really kick your butt, glad you are through the other side, but take it easy for a little longer

[@froglover7967]

I'm glad you're feeling better. I've managed to dodge the dreaded COVID so far. (Touch wood). I've been working on a little crossstitch kit at the moment. My 1st one oddly enough, considering I'm in my mid-50s and have been sewing on one form or another since the age of 7.

[@Angelcraftystyle]

[@tracyleecornish5398]

Lovely to see your video pop up again and that you are over covid. I am currently working on an embroidered wool jacket. I have finished the embroidery and machine stitched the coat now doing the lining and stitching that together. Going to see my children as well in Sydney soon so I needed a jacket and decided to make my own wool jacket. Your little scroll stitching is so beautiful! Looking forward to your new book too. You are going to be very busy enjoy your workshop with the lovely ladies.

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Thanks, TracyLee, your jacket sounds wonderful!

[@lynnstewart7034]

Sorry to hear that you were ill while you were away. - what a pity that it cut down on quality time with them. But good to see that you are on the mend. I would love to see you show us your scrolls sometime. They look amazing.

Dear Jennifer, I love your embroidery work and the way you present it on KZbin is very clear for beginners as well as advanced. I am a Mexican/American multidisciplinary artist, been embroidering since de pandemic. I´ve been incorporating embroidery with mix media and textiles. What I admire about your videos, they show a well-cared for composition and the stitches are clear. Thank you for taking the time to show us your art, I wish I was closer to you and had the privilege of attending a class with you. Take care and wish you the best.

So good to see you overcame that nasty Covid experience. Me too, never caught it. Hear lately about more cases again.

[@lisamoseley9914]

So happy you got over covid so well! I am working on a full size, Tshirt quilt made out of loads of jersey logos and prize patches. I also have a journal cover started. Then, I have plans to make a stationary box following Roxys Journal of Stitchery prompt for this month. I seem to be more motivated when I am making useful items for gifts. I don't know why, but when I just sit down to stitch with no end purpose in mind, I'm not very motivated. Oh! I am also working on a double wedding ring quilt for my son's wedding, this summer. So glad to have you back and I cant wait to receive your new book!

hello... one of my subscribers told me to check out your books and your channel. I love your fabric roll and find it so interesting that you are working upside down, at least I think you are... without seeing the whole roll I can't be sure and then you turned it right side around!

Oh, my gosh!!! The different bird sounds! 'Funny and all kinds! Are you in Australia?☺ I thought I heard a Magpie😊. You'd said "not too many birds" (or something like that), but I hear a few -- especially the second half -- and every one is one we don't EVER have! It's a JOY! I hope that you get as much joy from stitching out there as that combination gives to me(us?). ...and I'm so very glad that you've shaken that nasty COVID. Stay well!

[@jenniferclouston7545]

Hi Deb, unfortunately, my channel is a bit different in that I simply do what I feel like on the day. I started this channel to make a type of journal of my daily stitching projects. But because I am a teacher it has kind of morphed into a teaching channel which is not what I set out to do. So, it’s all a little random but I do work intuitively and these videos do not follow any sort of structure. Thank you so much for your comment. Jenny C

[@maramakesjournals2319]

I don’t understand the benefit of numbering. Using the same key word title is more useful to me. Watching out of sequence is not as flummoxing as some might think. Whatever! It’s always good to see the stitching and hear the birds. Noisy buggers.💜💜💜
