you can do it Teresa. I believe in you. that Chatelaine will not break you. neither will the Mira. you do such beautiful work. your stitches lay so sweetly I can only strive to be as good as you.

[@sigivesi]

Entertaining video for me 😊. It was funny when you turned into Bossy Teacher in retreat. Happy stitching, Teresa! 💖

[@justcarol8406]

Another enjoyable video Teresa! Evening in the Park is gorgeous. You put me to shame - I bought several Chatelaines years ago (two fully kitted), and all I've ever stitched is one of Martina's freebies! How exciting would that be - a trip to the states and a retreat! :)

[@kerryokeeffe7683]

Yeah would love to see how you do whatever!Looks like you had a fab time at the retreat. Happy stitching!

[@jomariehogle1980]

Another super video. Love seeing your retreat. As always your stitching is amazing. Your video resolution is spot on. It’s like your in the room.

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Thank you Jo - just need to get the camera to focus more consistently now lol

[@cyndimartinez524]

Yes yes yes to all the how-to videos❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ladybirdstitcher4200]

Wow what a retreat. It looks like you had a lovely time. Your stitching is always so beautiful. Sorry that Andromeda has been misbehaving. I hope you sort her and your Chatelaine out soon. Thanks so much for the lovely shout out. It means so much to me. Happy stitching Teresa and congratulations on 4000 subs - it’s truly well deserved.

[@maggiekelly6725]

I feel almost famous now! Thank you for the shout out you lovely lady!

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Thought you would like that mags 😂😂😂😂😘

[@chrisroberts6674]

What a lovely video. I'm new to floss tube and had no idea you made this video of the retreat lol. Lovely to see my black cat twice lol. Think I went to bed early that night. I love all your videos and can't wait to see them all. See you soon at our next retreat xx

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Hey Chris! of course your gorgeous work is included in my flosstube videos lol! I look forward to seeing you at the next retreat x

[@glynnhempel4271]

I can’t find the best way to comment.( while watching or waiting til video is over). I love all your new threads. Your WIPs are fabulous, especially the Chatelaine. I have several Chatelaines, but haven’t started one yet. They intimidate me a little. Lol. Thank you for the retreat video. It’s so much fun to see everyone ‘s WIPs. Love your videos, Teresa! Thank you so much!

[@annettenavarro8787]

Hi! Absolutely lovely progress on all your wips! Yes even the bit you made in those beautiful floral shoesLol!!! Oh your Evening in the Park - stunning!!! Yes would really enjoy seeing you bead & stitch. That’s something that we all can learn from. May seem repetitive but it’s not! Congrats on your 4K plus subscribers. Loved getting caught up with you! love Annette

[@michellecollins290]

I haven't watched you for ages and can't think why not! Love your work and fun ways!!

[@yarnsnthreads]

Teresa I love your videos. I don't think I will ever stitch a HAED but I really enjoy seeing what you are working on. So glad you had a good time at your retreat. I will be looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the new silks. Have a great week.

[@lindacraig5056]

Congrats on 4 K. Retreat looked like lots of fun and that Orietta sure gets around.LOL Love all of your projects. Beautiful stitching. Those silks OMG!!! Thanks for sharing Tina. Happy stitching.

[@sharonwurm4382]

Another great video. Can't wait to see what you think of your new silky floss.

[@sandyporter4442]

Wow, YaY & congratz on 4K. Great retreat coverage so many lovely projects. You have awesome projects going on also. I'm actually really wanting to try a full coverage HAED. Same as you though there are so many to choose from. I will make up my mind soon. Thanks for all the great videos!!

[@Rubylion94]

Another fun video, Teresa! Thank you to the ladies from the retreat for sharing their work with us - just amazing to see all the beautiful projects everyone is working on! Also, yeah, of course we all "hang" our projects! Lol! I only have those pants hangers with the clips because they're convenient to store wips and beautifully ironed finishes I don't want to roll in my Vonna project roll! Take care and happy stitching 'til we see you next!

[@thelazystitcher]

Love this update! Looks like the retreat was fantastic. Loved seeing you go around the room. So many full coverage pieces, I’m impressed! I stuck to Smalls at my last retreat, I’m a wuss 😂. You have beautiful projects, I love seeing the Chatelaine especially. Hope you’re doing well and happy stitching!

[@LouisaSharp]

Catching up on some flosstube... Teresa you have a lot of beautifully stitched wips... looks like a lot of stitching being done at the retreat... wowww love the colours of those silks... Beautiful gifts to receive.... Teresa love your wallpaper can you tell me where you bought it please... Happy Stitching... Lady Louisa.

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Thank you 😊. The wall paper is a harlequin range in slate I believe 😉

[@sharonsnellhookandsew9039]

Hi Teresa, great to catch up, the retreat looked like fun, you’re floss tube is always lovely to watch, till next time, happy stitching😊xx

[@edensgardenvariety2083]

I have been watching all of your videos and I think I’m just about caught up! I LOVE your channel and all of your WIPs. You almost always inspire me to work on my Chatelaine or Mirabilias, and I have HAEDs that I just NEED to start after seeing your progress on yours :) The retreat looked like loads of fun! My first retreat will be next May and I’m so excited! Maybe someday I can make the trip over to your part of the world to go to one! On to the next video! Happy Stitching! :D

[@nickreeder2979]

Lovely to see you again Teresa! I really need to make more videos... you’re making me feel guilty! 😜 Huge congrats on reaching 4K subs, and your WIPS are looking great as always. Looking forward to seeing your shortlisted HAEDs. 😊

[@jillbee8457]

Hi Teresa, I've stitched with those silks & I must admit they are indeed a little bit of a pain. Mostly because they are more of a flat ribbon than the usual thread so can get a bit squished going through the holes so harder to get the crosses looking neat (may depend on your fabric) & tension consistent as they are slippery. Also found a difference between dye lots. But they are the most beautiful & strokeable threads ever! I enjoy your videos, you have such pretty projects.

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Thank you for the heads up - i will give them a try and review them :)

[@glynnhempel4271]

Hi Teresa! I absolutely love all your WIPs, especially the Chatelaine. I’ve bought a couple of those, but haven’t started either one. They intimidate me a little. Lol.

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Glynn if i can do it anyone can - maybe about time you broke one and and give it a try???? lol

[@TheCraftyCurator]

I would love to see how you approach your stitching and beading!! Also a WIP and what's in those drawers video! Beautiful stitching as always and love the retreat footage!

[@hannahaidastitcher8098]

On Andromeda, her skin on her leg sort of melds with her dress. It IS a really weird chart in that particular area, so there's a (big) chance you've not miscounted, it's just the heavy confetti. I love your updates! Oh, and you shouldn't have shown those Jacko's crafty corner threads because now I want ALL of them! GORGEOUS!

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Hey Hannah thanks for advice on Andromeda. Hold tight on the threads - looks like they maybe rayon and not silk - i thought they looked to good to be true - I am going to try using them and review if they are ok to stitch with or just a total nightmare lol watch this space...

[@Stitchingdiva328]

Your chatelaine is beautiful!! It's great that you had a great time at the retreat it looks like it was a lot of fun and all the projects are amazing.

[@michelem9842]

Well that was a quick video, the time just flew by! Love your company while I’m stitching. Great video as always. 🤞🏻you get to go to a North American retreat. Thank you for sharing. 💐💕

[@willemijn9990]

Hi Teresa, Loved your videos as always 🌸. I would love to see more how you do your beading, especially how you organize your HEAD's and Chatelaines. I just bought my first Chatelaine and am looking into an app for it, normally I use paper and a yellow marker. Any tips, would be amazing. Also, can you show your fabric covers for when you roll up your bars, I had seen you put it into a long fabric tube .... sounds like a good idea. Congrats on the 4K!!!

[@phaerbudgets6827]

I absolutely love your chatelaine! I havent started mine yet the pattern frightens me a bit lol. Im so glad you loved the stitchy kindness! I hope it brings you lots of stitching joy!

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Thank you again so much 😉

[@sueking3915]

Congratulations! Looking forward to helping you choose your next haed. Blessings from Greece

[@sampsontoledo3467]

love your videos. I asked Ginger Gerald to interview you because you adore him. Hope he contacts you soon. That will be a great interview. I'm glad you are posting on a regular basis.

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Jan thank you so much 😉

[@lyncampbell1626]

Congrats on the 4K. Very well deserved. Loved seeing your WIPS. Those silks from De Havilland look amazing. Looking forward to a review on them.

[@stitchingwiththekidsaround9186]

Omg you’ve hit the 4K mark now wow, loved your video and just watched it whilst at the MK stitching retreat and loving your video as always. Beautiful silks and fab wips

[@jaynebarrell1606]

Hi! I'm so happy to have found your floss tube! I would love to go to a retreat, could you tell me who organises the retreats you go on so I can find some for in the future.

[@jaynebarrell1606]

pressed send too soon and hadn't said thank you!

[@HM-ed9zy]

Wonderful idea to go to the states! 😊 Trouble is I would want to do the stitching retreat and the racing 🏁 😂 😂

[@susanmoore221]

Every time you show what your working on I want to get it lol x

[@susanmoore221]

Theres more I want to stitch since watching you lol

[@1948sapphire]

great video ! love the retreat video. I think you will find that floss says "silky" not silk. usually high shine like that is a rayon floss and they describe it as silky as a description not fiber. I have never used it but some say its awful to stitch with as it knots and tangles but everyone is different maybe you will have better luck

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Hi Karen thank you for sharing. Right so maybe not silk then - i thought they looked too good to be true lol! I will give them a little test and review what they are like :)

[@maryjoobrienmoulding6298]

Your so cute...... I’d love to see how you do beads and stitching. I have stitched for many years but love to get new ideas or good ways to do things. I fell asleep during your video ( not that your boring I was just cuddled under a nice blanket.....) then had to pause you to change laundry out. Take care........ from Utah.

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

lol I could be your new bedtime hot chocolate lol!

[@beverleygardam151]

Hi Teresa,where did you learn how to do the special stitches on that gorgeous chatelaine ? I just have fallen in love with that design,even though l cannot work out how to count on 28 count evenweave ,more so how to count down rows ,l just get lost ,but l would love to do that one .love your videos .you are such a gem to watch .🥰

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Hey Beverley! Thank you for your lovely message. I am all self taught i confess and the chart is very easy to read. Thank you for your support on my channel and hanging out with me :)

[@beverleygardam151]

Teresa Little Stitcher hi ,l am self taught also ,but mine doesn’t work out LOL ! Keep your videos coming ,l look so forward to watching you .

[@Lbarnard1307]

I could not stitch while I was watching your video!!! Thank you ! 💕💕💕

[@Lbarnard1307]

Your snowman needle-minder is so cute

[@Nightflyer1love]

Love your videos thank you for taking the time to make them 😀 . Where do you find out about the retreats? Would love to go on one!

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

There is a closed Facebook group for UK retreats if you search for Mad Stitchers UK Retreats and Supply

[@Nightflyer1love]

@@TeresaLittleStitcher Thank you 😁

[@lindymuir3483]

The Picture This Plus grey blue fabric - is there a name on this one? It would suit my Chateline - Dragonfly Lace if the one Im waiting on doesn't work. Getting there with working my way through your videos. Still loving your updates.

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Hey Lindy thank you for your lovely message. The picture this plus fabric is in the colour mirage. It is still showing on the website 😉

[@lindymuir3483]

Teresa could you please share what size frame you are using for your Chatelaine? Also, if you are using the large frame addition for the lowrey stand, what size is that as there are two. About to make another financial contribution to the stitchy world and trying to get it right.....Thank you for all your wonderful help

[@cathybeukes5613]

Can you maybe tell me how long you worked on your HAED faces of faery 193?

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

i completed it in 5 months

[@bettyulan1247]

Do you have to plant daffodils every year? Here in the south they multiply every year. I used to have a job in Oklahoma where I was out in the field a lot. The end of February you’d see them blooming where old houses had been. I absolutely love them and hyacinths. We have to plant tulips every year but in Ohio they multiplied. Irises also multiply like crazy

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Hey Betty I always lift my tulips and daffs so I can make room for my dahlias lol plus we have to be careful about tulip blight here it is a good one of reducing it 😉

[@RaggyDoll]

Are you going to stitch the Randal Spangler dragons HAED. I love his work so much

[@mappingstitcher]

That Chatelaine is fabulous ! (aren't they all??)

[@susanmoore221]

Silky floss mermaid colours

[@cathybeukes5613]

Do you perhaps know the name of the chart of the first cute kittie project that you filmed?

[@TeresaLittleStitcher]

Do you mean the one with the green background or the black cat face ??? I'm sure i can find out for you :)

[@cathybeukes5613]

Thank you. It was the first lady that you filmed. It was a ginger kitten, adorable face and had wings. Think it was green background. Appreciate this :)

[@sewscrapmuse]

I loved Luda's winter quaker. But I kicked myself for giving away Summer ...

[@angelaspringett1262]

Have you ever seen Cross Stitch collectables? I'm sure you'd love many. You can find them on Amazon.co.UK x

[@StitchingJoanne]

That hardanger pattern is stunning! On the wishlist it goes. You can do the burn test to see if the threads are silk. Look here for silk www.craftsy.com/sewing/article/burn-test-for-fiber-content/

[@kristywithak2248]

In 2020, HAEDCon in Seaside, Oregon will be on Halloween weekend. The next weekend there is a nitro event in Central Washinton state.
