Hi, Levana, Thank you for stopping by and visiting with me. Thank you for your kind words. Take care and Happy Stitching!😊

Your work is beautiful and I REALLY enjoyed your words of encouragement at the end! What better place to find them than God's Word. Happy Stitching from West Virginia!

[@Merrcraw15]

Hi, Debbie, Thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciate your stopping by to watch and comment. I have some dear friends who are Mountaineers! Hope you have a great week! Take care and Happy Stitching!😊

[@wandamaddox8775]

Hello Louise, again I really enjoyed your floss tube and see all your WIP and FFO’s. I really like your fall piece that you are stitching on the black fabric. I am not sure if these old eyes of mine are going to let me stitch on black fabric but I hope so because I really NEED to stitch that one sometime. I was thrilled with the birthday box of treasures you sent me and can’t wait to add the antique toy Singer machine to my collection. I finally stitched a little while tonight on my Bee Kind Sampler and hoping I can catch up in the next week. I treasure your friendship and your sharing so generously with me. Hugs from Lower LA

Hi, Louise, Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words of encouragement. I hope you will be able to stitch the BBD Giving Thanks table mat. With good lighting, hopefully you will be able to see it. It was a thrill for me to put your birthday goodies together and surprise you with your machine. I'm enjoying the Bee Kind Sampler and will continue stitching on it for #SamplerSeptember. I, too, treasure your friendship and the times we spend together via FaceTime Fridays or in person. 😊❤️😊

@@Merrcraw15 The friendship between you & Louise is so special. You both are so inspiring to me!

[@wandamaddox8775]

@@janandoster2560 Thank you, Louise has to have a heart of gold to put up with me. I think she is ready to cram O Tannenbaum down my throat because today she told me that I was naughty and that Santa hears and see’s all. 😂

Good morning Merritt, So much enjoyed your video and all the inspiration given. Your framed piece is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing Peter’s woodworking items. You’re very gracious. Blessings for a wonderful day

[@Merrcraw15]

Hi, Kathy, Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I'm hoping you all received some orders for Peter's gorgeous woodworking items. Take care and happy stitching!

[@bizybee65]

So many beautiful projects Merritt! You really inspire me to keep picking up a needle. What a neat idea to use your old calendars for tags. I was thinking about all the old birthday cards I hang on to, as well as those free greeting cards that come in the mail from time to time. Looking forward to stitching with you at the retreat this month. I’ve been purchasing a few more BBD charts lately😊. Your friends & family in Louisiana are in my prayers. Hugs, Anne

[@Merrcraw15]

Hello, Anne, Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I'm glad I can inspire and encourage. I'm loving the calendar tags, but the old cards would be treasures, too. I am so looking forward to the retreat! Thank you for the prayers for my friends and family in LA. Take care and Happy Stitching!😊

[@svance1041]

Hi, Michelle, Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. I'm way overdue for a new FlossTube, so stay tuned. I need to get back to my advent calendar stitching and my wool Wednesday! I have finished the little squirrel stitch from the retreat, just need to place him on top of my little box. I haven't started the other 2 pieces yet. Take care! So great to hear from you. Happy Stitching!

[@Merrcraw15]

Hello, Trinka, Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments. I'm so glad you are going to check out Wool Applique. It is a lot of fun and there are wonderful patterns out there. Let me know if you have any questions about it. I would be happy to help. Happy Stitching!😊

[@chocolates4breakfastterri384]

Merritt! You’ve finished, or have in progress, so many beautiful things! I love your framed piece that Miss Paula dod and your wool appliqué is gorgeous! I absolutely love the colorful mat you’re making for the retreat and the BBD fabric mats/bags will be fabulous and I’m sure they’ll be very popular! The bag you’ve made for the auction is awesome - I love it! Your estate sale funds are fantastic…. I love estate sales too! Looking forward to Thursday and to the retreat!

[@Merrcraw15]

Hello, Terri, Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate your stopping by my channel and commenting. Mrs. Paula does a great job. Thank you for the Wool Applique love; I do enjoy it. Also, Thank you for the feedback on the stitching mats. It's been fun to design them. Glad you like the project bag for the auction. Yes, estate sales are fun; we will have to go to one, one day.

46:57 !!! The Rocker pincushion! My father’s uncle made gave me one as a little girl!!! I still have it. I’ll take a photo and send it to you! The drawer under the seat could slide out on mine. Does yours? 16:01America by Calico Confectionery is just lovely! I need to check if I have it. 34:05 your quilt is beautiful. Your choice of colors is impeccable. Like I told someone else… I can’t even match a color to white. Thank you for the Yummy cupcake and floss. I think I’ll stitch some up for cute little birthday pillows for my friends.

[@Merrcraw15]

Hi Charlotte, Oh what a treasure to have a little rocker pincushion made by your great uncle! I would love to see a picture of it. Mine does not have a drawer under the seat, though. I am enjoying the American stitch by CC, but it is taking me a while, probably because I have done a lot of "squirreling". Thank you for the quilt love; it is one of my favorites. I'm so excited to mail you the "Yummy" cupcake pattern and floss. What a great idea! Take care and Happy Stitching!

[@nevadastitcher]

I love all the beautiful things you showed-especially the BBD Thanksgiving mat! I’m still working here and there on mine but definitely aren’t as far along as you are. The stitching is so beautiful on the black fabric. I’m still working on pieces from Sewing Club book but have a couple kitted up from Winds of Autumn to take with me on the road. Thank you for sharing the info about Riley Blake wool!

[@Merrcraw15]

Hi, Barbara, Thank you so much. I'm really loving the BBD Giving Thanks mat, but I do have a few personalizations🤪. The Sewing Club book is really beautiful and I love the Winds of Autumn book, too. Hope you will join in on the Wool Wednesdays. I think Stacy West does a great job with designing such cute Wool Applique projects. Take Care and Happy Trails. Can't wait to hear all about your trip. 😊

[@TheSerenityStitcher]

Merritt, I absolutely love the way you finish everything you show! All your projects are beautiful. That mat is so pretty. Those floss drops are gorgeous! I love Marjolein Bastin so much. Have you seen the classic books that she’s illustrated? 💜🌸💜

[@Merrcraw15]

Hi, Shelley, Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Your kind words regarding my finishing and projects are an encouragement to me. I have not seen the classic books that Marjolein Bastin has illustrated. Which ones should I look for? Hope you are doing well. Happy Stitching!

[@TheSerenityStitcher]

@@Merrcraw15 you’re so welcome. There are three books out now: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Jane Eyre.

[@janandoster2560]

Thanks for sharing the little basket quilt. I had forgotten about that one, and it is one of my favorites too! I do not know how you get sew much stitching done.................I love seeing all your projects, in process and finished. You are a very talented and precise stitcher. Miss you. Please tell me again where the design for the Bee Kind sampler is located?

[@Merrcraw15]

Hi, Janan, Love the basket quilt and that the orphan blocks have a new purpose. Thank you for watching and commenting and for your kind words about my work. Miss you, too, my friend! The "Bee Kind" sampler is from the Punch Needle and Primitive Stitcher Magazine 2021 Summer edition. It is a great magazine and well worth the cost of a subscription. With your subscription, you gain access to ALL the magazines online. Hope you are doing well and finding some time to quilt and stitch. Take care.

[@rachelqstitches]

Now I feel the need to pull out America…lol. I’ve been eyeing the Sewing Club book and the Winds of Autumn. So many wonderful designs. How did your family do during the storm?

[@Merrcraw15]

Hello, Rachel, Yes, I need to really get busy on mine and finish it, but I have been very "squirrelly"🐿🐿🐿🤣 Both of those BBD books are gorgeous and have so many projects in them. My family mainly just lost power, with one tree down for my aunt and uncle and a loose fence section and limbs down for my sister. Very thankful. Thank you for asking. Take care and Happy Stitching!😊
