What a fantastic way to celebrate two great milestones! I will defintely share. Alaska cruises are spectacular.

[@JenniferHumphries-SATX]

Nice to see each of you again! I love all the stitching goodness. Shelia, I love all the finishes. I immediately went online to get the counting puddles pattern. ❤ EJ, enjoy your retreat! Happy Birthday Deb! BTW, coincidentally I’m going to Alaska on another ship one day after yours departs. Have a great trip!

[@SunshineStitchers]

The Counting Puddles designs are really unique. When stitching the ornaments, definitely check the pictures for guidance about the long stitches.

[@JenniferHumphries-SATX]

EJ, i hope you have a great time at your upcoming retreat! Deb, I hope you have a fantastic 70th birthday!! 🎂🍨🥂 And yes, 'Deborah' does mean 'The Bee' or 'Busy Bee' 😊 Happy stitching ladies!

[@minniegray-allxxs9332]

Everybody has such beautiful stitching, Shelia your framed piece is gorgeous, EJ you have become a prolific stitcher, your “Buy Me a Quaker SAL” is coming along beautifully. Deb, I love, love, love those fabrics and I completely understand having feelings of regret if you don’t get a certain piece when it is available. You had to get them.😊 Between you Deb and EJ I think I need to start “Baby Got Back”. All of you enjoy your travels, be safe and I will be waiting to hear all about them.

[@SunshineStitchers]

Thank you so much! Baby Got Back is a really cute design. I have it here somewhere...ummmm....

[@theresamccormick8647]

Thank you.

[@debbierice1363]

My name is Deborah. I have been told and read that Deborah means busy bee. 😊

[@rosecastro720]

Beautiful finishes💜happy to see you 3 together. Hope you have a happy birthday Deb🎉Aw man no sunshine on my bday😞lol hope y'all have a fun week. N I'm wit you Shelia you can't go wrong wit a good neutral, it's perfect for any piece, plus my fabric stash is majority shades of beige as well🤣

[@SunshineStitchers]

You totally get it! A good neutral can't be beat. Happy Birthday!!!

[@lindameeks5228]

B. Hollander is superbly finished, great frame choice.oh my goodness, Shelia has a finished parade, so beautiful. I loved Debs finish of Mojo piece.

[@southfloridadeb2285]

Thank you, Linda!

[@SunshineStitchers]

1 Finish is rare for us, let alone 4 at one time. There is nothing like a small.

[@deniseniemann5270]

Shelia, B Hollunder is beautiful!!!

[@shannonstoop6110]

Who needs Fifty Shades of Grey when you can have fifty shades of beige. 😊

Always really enjoy you three ladies together, just adds to many more projects for me to ohhhh and awwww at. Let Deb know I feel the same way for my birthday this month(25th), mainly because I am the last one for what we call summer birthdays. See my older sister/daughter/niece are in May, then my middle sister/oldest daughter comes in June and by the time my day comes around I am just like the little girl that Deb showed, however eventually I get a smile on my face. So Happy birthday Deb, enjoy your day!!🎉🎉

[@SunshineStitchers]

Happy Birthday! You're so special no matter when your matter falls.

[@southfloridadeb2285]

Thank you, Michelle!😊

[@shawnduray6297]

Aaaahhhh! Deb! You're coming on the cruise! This will be fun...Your framed finish is beautiful, Shelia! Great video! I got a lot of stitching done! EJ - enjoy your trip! What was the name of the pretty pens you had on the show tonight? Thanks in advance!

[@EJ_Creates]

Frixon erasable pen (clickable). I was playing with the pens the whole time 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@AlwaysBeYourself-6]

Nice to c u beautiful ladies and ur guest. Shelia ur Hollander is stunning. And wow Shelia u have been on the ball with 4 finishes, congrats !!! They r all lovely. I’m doing my fish project on linen coming from working on Aida. Any suggestions that I should keep in mind while stitching linen. It’s a 28 count Antique white cashew. Chart is A Quaker for My Mother by AuryTM. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️

[@EJ_Creates]

What work for me is thinking no matter what…over two. Thin or thick weave (slubs)…over two Trust the process

[@SunshineStitchers]

Good light. You can look at the fabric and "see" aida blocks as if they have been laid on top.

[@bethfred6360]

Deb, I felt intense regret that I didn't buy a half yard of Black Swan at Sassy Jacks. I may need to send Kim a note.

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Geography would have been much more fun in high school with stitchers teaching it. 🦉🧵🪡🔆

[@SunshineStitchers]

Absolutely! Your videos are great! The musical interludes are so nice.

[@TheStitchingOwl]

@@SunshineStitchers thank you for watching. I really appreciate it

[@djali0526]

umm Ms EJ, you do realize that I watch these videos and will remember that you swiped my needle minder. No worries, I will just help myself to one of yours hehe. Great job on your finishes Shelia and Deb. That Quaker is looking good EJ. Love the haul Deb, I think we have a couple of pieces in common. Thanks for another great one.

[@SunshineStitchers]

You definitely should help yourself to 2! It should be 2 for 1.

Isn't that Sahara desert sand so crazy? We get it all the way over here in the San Antonio area, too. I LOVE Ms Mildred!! That his hilarious! So great to see y'all all together. Shelia & EJ, why didn't y'all go to StitchCon, too?

[@SunshineStitchers]

I have been to 2 Stitch-Cons. There are so many retreat opportunities out there.

[@aliceputman3260]

What is amusing sing about blue berries EJ is that there is actually a division of the French government that approves new French words.

[@SunshineStitchers]

That is like the annual Webster's Dictionary update for English. Very cool.

[@tracydaly6980]

I also did 24 starts in 2024. I’m going to commit to 25 finishes in 2025.

[@SunshineStitchers]

Sheesh! That's way too many for me, but I bet I get close without thinking about it.
