[@hollyliles4060]

Lovely to see you back.. x

[@DarkXStitch]

That is a stunning finish 😍 well done xx

[@lizinedin]

Loving your Thomas Kinkade finish. I stitched along on my Aimee Stewart, Stitch in Time. I live in Edinburgh. You are not alone there are a few of us here doing HAED's 🤗

[@loriholmes8705]

It was nice to sit and stitch with you. I stitched on my whimsical dragon in jewel tones. Lots of blues and teals. Your Thomas Kincaide FFO is lovely.

[@laurensalviani6484]

I’m a diamond painter and just found you and think you are great! Love your voice and listening to you while I diamond paint.

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Hello and thank you so much! 😊

[@NancyGafford]

I think your Thomas Kincaid is spectacular. I have ordered the kit and can’t wait to start it. I enjoy your you tube very much. I am just getting started in this crazy world, and I am really enjoying it. You wanted to know what we were working on. I Am working on a stamped piece called Ambilight. It is really large. I know most of the cross stitch people I listen to would never be caught doing a stamped kit, but I am really enjoying it. Thanks for doing your you tube.

[@Linda-Lovestostitch]

Your Thomas Kinkade piece looks gorgeous.

[@annetteduggan7]

your Thomas Kincade is just amazing, i too have that Winter Evening by Merejka it was my new year start this year and i started with the tree top left corner and that tree is a beast but i am getting there with it as i love it,,

[@Nanzilla]

Whoa that Thomas Kinaid came out amazing. The lighting in the picture is so realistic. I truly enjoy sitting with you while you stitch. ❣

[@bethliotta267]

WOW!! Home for the Holidays is gorgeous!!! Love it!!! Your talent and ability to stitch full coverage on anything but gridded fabric is amazing. I would really mess it up! I so enjoy stitching with you!! Today I am stitching on Crocette a gogo Stitching on the Beach, my summer sunday Stitch

[@tinamarie9312]

Your Kincaid is stunning! So satisfying to have it finished and framed. Gosh, now I want that Merejska bad. Thanks a lot! I love moody pieces like that. I have too many to do, but I think I can’t resist that one.

[@lesleymaude436]

Thanks for the video Carla. Your FFO looks fantastic, a lovely frame makes tons of difference. Enjoy having your son at home for the next few weeks. Lovely to see you again x

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Thanks so much!

[@traceydelcamp]

Your Kincaide framed is gorgeous! Thank you for spending time with us. I’m stitching A Starry Night HAED. 88% complete!

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finish and your progress on your wip. Happy stitching!

[@kathleenkraynak4997]

I remember when you chose this HAED piece! It is beautiful. I am currently working on 2 HAEDS - one by Dona Gelsinger and the other is by Bob Byerley! I put my cross stitch away when watching the House of Dragon - too nerve racking!

[@lee-annbender5515]

Your frame choice for the Kincaid is perfect. I am stitching the Modern Folk Embroidery SAL 2024 No Time Like the Present. I am getting close to finishing April. 3500 stitches a month on this one. It is a monster

[@LidiasLeisurelyStitching]

I'm working on a HAED while watching- Ornament Log Cabin Home. Congrats on your FFO! Happy stitching 💜

[@alexhudson6684]

I live in New Jersey, in the United States and just across the river from me in Pennsylvania there’s a congregation center called “Peddler’s Village” they have events, stores, and festivals there. Thomas Kincade has an art exhibit there that you can go in and walk around so you can see his work. I always go in there and see his paintings because his work is truly amazing and inspiring. I’m not an artist, but it truly is amazing what you can do with a paintbrush, a pallet, and a blank canvas.

[@jacquelinebonneau5102]

Super entertaining as I stitch on my project: Vases with Flowers, from Saskatchewan, Canada 🇨🇦 I miss Ginger Gerald too. Hope he's alright.

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Oh I'd love to see Saskatchewan! Thanks for stitching with me. 😊

[@luvslyfe1]

I miss Ginger Gerald too. I have checked his channel a couple of times, but no activity for over a year, or on IG. I hope he’s well too. He seemed to drop off after he bought a home.

[@pattykuchera3368]

That is so so beautiful

[@luvslyfe1]

Your Kincaid finish is stunning! Love the Merejka piece you’ve chosen as well. I just started a HAED Jo Wall chart. I must be crazy…she’s known for all the confetti, lol

[@TheStitchyWitch]

I think there's something about HAED that drives us all a bit crazy lol. Enjoy your stitching :)

[@dianemiller7994]

Congratulations on you FFO.

[@DreamyButtercup]

Gorgeous finish!! I had a lot of fun stitching along with you. I was working on my Hannah Lynn Montage. I am also Team Cat. I could be wrong but I think page four is classified has a partial page not a full page. You may want to check. It would be very sad to do all that work and not get the free charts. I’m doing Christmas in July right now but I’m planning on focusing on my Cat starting in August in hopes of finishing this year. I have 99.98% of part 1 done and a significant amount of page four. Page four is almost all huge blocks so it is nice relaxing stitching. Happy stitching!!

[@BarbaraNellemann]

So exciting! It's beautiful!

[@solarwinds-]

😍

[@kristihess7410]

You have such a talent, so beautiful. You couldn’t have did any better on picking your frame!

[@thecraftyhealer]

That frame you chose is stunning and to answer the question on the Sal I’m trying to get the 4 pages done but my original plan was too finish I’m finding it a struggle to stay motivated though. But that could be all of the changes that my life has been through in the last few months

[@krismccann467]

Excited to see you and your progress. I think if you get the cats eyes in you won't be able top its a beaute . I have both the mermaids I started bubbles. So beautiful the tk turned out. Perfection . Have a great month and summer. Its hot here in Montana USA.

[@sandrastitchingsomething9003]

I'm struggling with my SAL as well, but I'm focusing for finish

[@sharonfennell2932]

Your FFO is stunning such a great choice of frame. I am stitching on HAED Hot Air Balloon Sunrise regular size now at 78.96% 25ct 1x1 full cross. Love your SWM. I didn’t sign for the HAED Sal but regret it now, hoping they might repeat it again next year . Enjoy your day out.

[@melaniehulm]

Congratulations on your FFO. It looks amazing. Just check with the Haed Sal because I think you need to have 4 full pages completed and the page at the end of the top row is only a half page. But your cat is looking amazing 😊

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Oh thank you. I sort of suspected that the end page wasnt a full page because it wasn't as wide. I will continue down. That would be confusing for people though, because of where the page break is. I hope HAED explain that before the deadline.

[@melaniehulm]

@@TheStitchyWitch I agree the guidelines haven’t really been explained very well. And if anyone asks questions they just say to read the previous posts.

[@RiversLove]

Your finish is stunning, and I love the frame. Great job! I also loved stitching with you this evening, so thank you for sharing your stitching. I was wondering, is Sad Fairy still in your rotation?

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Thank you. Sad Fairy is not in the rotation now, but she is also not a UFO.

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Forgot to add that I am planning to bring her out when I hit my goal on Riverwalk Charm, which is in the next week or two.

[@countcain48]

I stitch "Halloween Time" by tilton crafts. 25ct 2over1 tentstitch and 29,5% finished ca. 109k stitches to do

[@jessicaevans6828]

Thanks for the video, great to see you back. Wanted to mention that you have to finish 4 *full* pages for the HAED SAL. Your astrology cat is looking great, that was my second choice chart. I'm doing the rainbow dragon one.

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Thank you :) Yes I mentioned the 4 pages at 19:05, three down one to go! I've seen the lovely colourful Dragon. My second choice at the time was Tintern abbey, but now I would choose Merry Mushroom village 2 I think.

[@Stitchymaq]

I'm in Ayrshire and stitching on far too many HAEDs 😂

[@quinellleftwich1781]

I am stitching on the HAED SAL as well. Im stitching Merry Mushroom Village Picnic. I started off with great vigor but have slowed tremendously in my opinion. Im only starting the 3rd page and should be finished with the 4th with the goals I set for myself. I want to finish the whole chart by the deadline but I may have to be happy with 4 pages. I love it but I just cant work on it some days. Right now Im stitching on World Travel Bookshelf. I started with this because of Needle Ninja. Im doing the regular size which is still pretty big. I miss seeing her too. I wish someone in her family if not her would update us as to what has happened. I hope all is well with her.

[@TheStitchyWitch]

I agree. Yes, some people just want to move on with other things in life. Best of luck with the SAL I shall keep my fingers crossed for both of us. 😊

[@temesiahigh5904]

HAED Garden Delight 350 x 529 stitches 20 count 2 x 1 full cross. My first!

[@klmp01041]

Your Thomas Kincade is gorgeous. I am stitching on my haed sal while watching you. doing the fox, I don't know the layout of your Haed sal cat, just remember the 4 pages have to be 4 full pages and not part page complete. My 4th page on the top row is a partial page so don't count as one of the 4 pages. hope that makes sense

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Yes. There was a bit of confusion. I'm aiming for 4 full pages, but the guidelines on the FB sal group don't specify any further. I worry some people will not realise and then not meet the challenge.

[@bordandounpoquito]

Hi lovely! Congrats on the Thomas Kinkade. It looks wonderful. I'm thinking of doing it as well, may I ask in what type of fabric you stitch it?

[@TheStitchyWitch]

Hi. Thank you. The fabric is 25 easy count lugana. I did 2 strands tent stitch.

[@bordandounpoquito]

@TheStitchyWitch sorry I just don't know what is tent stitch 😅
