WIP Parade - all 41 of them!

[@suki8267]

Oh my gosh! Loved all your wips and they are not small projects either. Can't wait to see the progress! You have me wanting to start a big project now!

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! I really do have a thing for big projects, huh? ;) I can't help it - they're all so pretty!

[@alisstitchingstudio8990]

Hello, I love a wip parade and this is the second one I have watched today. I was so happy to see so many Golden Kite's in action. I have one of their charts but have not started it nor indeed have the supplies needed to start it. You have so many lovely things and as this is the first video of yours I have watched I think I will make sure to revisit your channel and catch up with your updates. Thanks for sharing and good luck with all of your beautiful work. Happy stitching Ali.

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! I really enjoy Golden Kite charts. They have a lovely amount of detail because of the blends they use.

[@PamsCraftyCorner]

Thank you so much for sharing all of your projects with us. Lots of happy stitching for sure.

[@MsOhsewcrafty]

Hi Sarah, Lovely stitching, fantastic selection of projects. I like how you sorted them alphabetically. My fave is probably Fantasy Triptych... I want to start that one soon-ish. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching!

[@StitchinMommy]

Thanks for watching! I would like to put more time into Fantasy Triptych, because it would be so nice to see it finished. I just have too many other WIPs calling for my attention. :) Maybe if you start stitching it, that will motivate me to get it out again also. :)

[@user-rukod_izb]

Perfect selection of projects - do like all of them and do admire the way you present! Thank you!

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! :)

[@MizzRowe]

Thank you for this video. I enjoyed seeing what you're working on. I tip my hat to you and all the stitchers who work on those ginormous projects without gridding. I had never heard of gridding until I started watching floss tube but I would have never dreamed of buying/starting any of the patterns I've bought since learning of that method. One of these days I may actually stitch them.

[@StitchinMommy]

You're welcome! I learned how to stitch without gridding, so I just make it work and triple count as I go. I tried marking my fabric with little dots with a washable pen on one project, but I found that I really didn't need it. Not gridding saves me lots of prep time also - more time to stitch!

[@leonafaircloth5580]

Loved seeing all your WIPS! Your work is so beautiful! Thanks for taking time to share.

[@tinainglima]

Your things are so beautiful but intimidating. When I watch I feel like, no way. You are talented that’s for sure.

[@melyellystitches]

WOW!!!!!!! 19 full coverage pieces! You are brave!!!!! Those are all such intricate designs! Loving watching your progress!!😘

[@superkitten7560]

I have pretty severe anxiety and for some reason, one of your videos showed up in my recommended. It's like you were god sent. Your videos are so freaking relaxing and I adore them. I also haven't cross-stitched in forever and now I really want to lol

[@StitchinMommy]

Super Kitten I’m so happy to hear that I’ve been encouraging and a motivating factor to start stitching again! 😁🤗

[@LittleSnips32]

I love these wip parade videos and yours is no exception. So many full covrrage pieces! I'm in awe. :)

[@StitchinMommy]

I got a little carried away with how many I wanted to stitch. Lots of them have very little progress! But, I still love them all, and hope to chip away at them over the years. Not sure how many will actually get finished, but I'll enjoy the process in the meantime. :)

[@anitchtocrossstitch6035]

Hi Sarah, I loved watching your wip parade. Your royal holiday piece is so pretty, I admire her every time you show her.

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! I recently watched your finishes video, and I love your feather fairy! The colors in her are gorgeous. Petal Fairy is already on my wish list, but maybe Feather Fairy needs to be on there as well. :)

[@anitchtocrossstitch6035]

Stitchin' Mommy The feather fairy was a joy to stitch, I loved stitching her. Petal fairy is very pretty too x

[@missdebbie6303]

l love your videos I want to do cross stitching so so bad. wips and finishes are just beautiful. please send me all UFO 's and scrap fabric do not throw away anything. your teaching is wonderful !!!! I watch you for hours loving every moment.

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you so much! There are lots of simple kits you can find at local craft stores that you could choose from to start teaching yourself how to cross stitch. It's really just one stitch at a time - even on the very big projects. :)

[@ladybirdstitcher4200]

I really enjoyed seeing all your WIPs. Lovely stitching and beautiful choices.

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@angelakopecky888]

Thank you for another great video. Loved seeing your work and when you finish "The Knitting Woman" your mother will LOVE it!!! It is a beautiful piece! I see you have a few needlepoint kits! I am a needlepointer who is learning cross stitch. I want to stay with cross stitch. Your Mirabilla of Royal Holiday is just gorgeous!!!!

[@StitchinMommy]

Yes, I have done some plastic canvas, needlepoint and embroidery, but cross stitch is definitely my first love! I have been thinking I need to get Knitting Woman out again - I think she'll work up fairly quickly once I get going on her. I'm planning to work on Royal Holiday next week - I'm excited to see how much I can get done on her skirt!

[@ninahobbysite]

Great video! I love to see al your wips. They are beautiful. Happy stitching!

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! :)

[@henniejo]

Hi Sarah....I love your channel, I keep coming back to see your wips and finish project haha and try to find them online. I like your choices of the design. Seeing your wips make me want to finish mine. I am a newbie in cross stitch, and I just about to finish 1 project (haha just one), my former colleague gave it in a kit as a gift , now 7 years later I just about to finish it. And I just ordered "Voyage at sea" and "In the beginning" (the one that you mentioned as creation sampler). Now I also have in mind to have some designs from Mirabilia and HAED. Thanks for many info that I can get from your channel (videos)

[@StitchinMommy]

Wonderful! I'm glad you're enjoying this fun hobby! Everyone starts somewhere. :) Flosstube can be a wonderful place to find new ideas of things to stitch. :)

[@mibelloaleman]

I just recently discovered your videos and I love them! They reminded me how much I love cross stitch, especially counted cross stitch. Your videos have brought me back to them and inspired me to take a crack at them, at least one of them, after a long period of time of not having worked on them. Some, as well as my needlepoints, are many years old, but having seen this video, I don't feel so guilty for not having worked on them, let alone finished any. Thank you for your lovely videos (so, so relaxing!!!)!

[@StitchinMommy]

There are some projects that have languished for years, simply because new projects take my focus away and then I forget about them! Flosstube inspired me to go back through my craft closet and find all of my projects, and I was surprised at all of the beautiful things I had forgotten I'd started. I'm hoping that having a list of them all now will help me get back to them at some point so they can be finished and enjoyed. :)

[@mibelloaleman]

Thank you so much for replying! I realize how busy you are. This is what amazes me about you - you seem to be very busy and yet, you take time for your cross stitching and concentrate on it with such joy. It's beautiful to watch! As a new fan of yours, I'm sitting here with a cup of coffee contemplating whether or not to go to my needle works stash (includes many, many needlepoint canvases) and go thru them and do as you have - organize them into weeks and months of work on them. My only problem with that is that I have very little space to spread out. Nevertheless, this thought is inspired by you. Btw, have you seen Patricia K's completed works? They're awesome. Thanks and ciao, ciao!

[@StitchinMommy]

Throughout the stages in my life, I have come and go with my devotion to cross stitching, spending more time sewing or scrapbooking, etc. But, I always seem to come back to cross stitching as my first love! And since discovering this wonderful online community of stitchers, my appetite for cross stitch has definitely grown! So, it's very worthwhile to me to make time for stitching, even though the busy seasons of life can make that a challenge sometimes. :) Regarding organizing your stash, I started simply and have gradually made more steps to organize further. For starters, I went through my boxes and bags and just made a list of the projects I had started that still held some interest for me. It could also work at the same time to make a list of any projects that you have kitted up or patterns for but are not yet started, because those things can be forgotten, too! :) Eventually, once you have a list, it's easier to go through occasionally and figure out priorities and rotations. Something that helped guide me towards choosing what to stitch on when, was the Stitch Maynia group on Facebook. There is a file in that group that lists a lot of stitch-a-longs and themes for the months that give you ideas of things to work on. I can be fun to look through your list and pick something to fit a theme for the month/week/day. Happy stitching and organizing and planning! :)

[@mibelloaleman]

Sarah, again, thank you so much for your wonderful reply! I will try to get started making a list this weekend and maybe get an idea of what's on first, whose on second.....(ha! ha! ha! the old Abbott & Costello joke).I've been ill for a while and watching your videos has been so relaxing that it has not only gotten me interested in cross stitching again, but it has helped distract me from the way I was feeling. I picked up an old WIP - Engelbreit's Princess of Quit A Lot. It's extremely detailed (lots of confetti) but I am determined to work on it as much as I can before taking on another WIP. I do remember that I have kitted up several projects, either started ones or just those waiting to be started, so the list is a great idea because I will be able to see at a glance what needs to be worked on first. I like the fact that you stitch by hand, that is, you just roll the fabric, and therefore, this takes up less space once in their plastic bag, but still there is the space needed for the rest of the supplies. Right now I have them in clear, zippered folders with all the floss and instructions for each project. They lay flat in an under the bed container.Anyho, I will definitely try to work on this list this weekend and I thank you again for your time and advice. Bless you! Ciao, ciao!

[@StitchinMommy]

Sounds like a good plan! I hope you get feeling better and enjoy your stitching time. :)

[@sunflower_craftz]

loved your projects and the progress... i love heaven and earth designs also and love to see your progress on them ... good luck

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you!

[@OriettaStitch]

such beautiful work! i enjoyed this video a lot, thank you for sharing with us

[@StitchinMommy]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it - it was fun to look at everything again. :)

[@stdwynwen]

Great seeing all of your WIP's, thanks for sharing.

[@hollyanthony76]

I loved watching this episode, you are very inspiring to me. I would love to see how you organize your floss for a large full coverage piece and how you manage floss once you begin your stitching. I am fairly new to stitching and have not found the perfect thread management system. I put all my floss on bobbins that I number and then put them in a plastic bobbin case. When I am using them I seem to end up with a floss floating around in disarray. Thanks for sharing your work, I really enjoyed your pieces! Holly

[@FiberFlossandFiction]

I really enjoyed seeing everything you're working on - full coverage for the win!!!

[@StitchinMommy]

Yes!!! I seem to just treat full coverage pieces like any other pattern and start it as I feel like it. Nevermind that those ones take years to finish! :P

[@kellysluiter5241]

Thanks so much for sharing. I really enjoyed seeing each and every piece.

[@StitchinMommy]

You're welcome! It was a fun treat to bring them all out again. :)

[@salinagonzalez5221]

I love your work. I ordered the mid summer roses. Can’t wait to start

[@jillpoteat2974]

Beautiful cross stitch that you are working on. The Creation Sampler is called In the Beginning. I have it in kit form, I bought off of someone. It will be beautiful. I haven't started mine yet, though.

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you, yes, I discovered the name of that creation piece since this video was filmed, so I updated my records. It's such a cute one that I think it will be in my focus list sooner than later. :)

[@kristinanne6534]

So much fun! Thanks for taking the time to do this!

[@StitchinMommy]

You're welcome! It's always fun to pull them all out again to enjoy them a little bit even if I'm not stitching on them. :)

[@lisasstitchingandsuch]

Beautiful WIPs!! I really enjoyed watching this so thank you for putting it together :)

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! It was fun to look at everything again.

[@ReadingStitching]

I just found your channel and I love everything!!! You are a stitcher after my own heart....you love all the fancy ladies as I call them! Have you seen the Golden Kite called "An Afternoon Embroidering"? I gave it started and it looks like something you may stitch!!

[@StitchinMommy]

Yes, I do love all the fancy ladies!!! I call them that, too. :) That Afternoon Embroidering piece is very nice. I think if it had more saturated color, I would definitely go for it - I love designs with lots of color. :)

[@quigleymp]

That wreath is gorgeous on black fabric! Patty

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! I love the way the colors pop off the fabric on that piece.

[@janiceali7569]

Beautiful WIPs.. thanks for showing them💕

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you!

[@jeanneriggall6124]

I have just started cross stitch but have done embroidery for years. I was gifted 13 plastic pockets with kits in. One is Nantucket Rose, some fairy ones, a ballerina. I also bough a bundle off eBay which has a peacock on, and two which make a pair with birds and flowers. Those I don't have a chart for, so am making it up and copying to fill borders. Have struggled in past with following chart, so hoping I can get the hang of it. Xx

[@StitchinMommy]

Sounds like a lot of fun stitching to keep you busy! :)

[@maureendetwiler6950]

Thnx for your reply, but, as I continued binging your videos yesterday, I saw your previous explanation. I was interested in your 1/2 stitches. One of my WIP's is one from Heaven and Earth on 25 over one. I have a fair amount done on it, but discovered the floss doesn't match on a big chunk of the sky and I have a line of demarcation. Too much and too difficult to rip out, so starting over completely using 1/2 stitches. Haven't worked on it much cause I knew something needed done with it, but feel energized now to restart that pattern. 1/2 stitches would make it so much more manageable to do.

[@nancyspicer6046]

Wow That is incredible!!! I love cross stitch too!!! but I only have about 10 unfinished well that is alot too. I also spend time with other artistic endeavors. I love watching your channel.

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! I never really took notice of how many unfinished projects I was accumulating until Flosstube came around. Then, I figured I'd take stock of everything and was surprised at what I found! Now, I'm slightly more motivated to go back and finish some of the old ones - but still find it hard to compete with all the new things that Flosstube has exposed me to. :)

[@nancyspicer6046]

I know I have many loves that I would like to start as well beyond the 10 it is a extreme obsession. take care

[@margaretbaker623]

Thank you for the parade. ⚘

[@desireebarhorst-weller1767]

I'm making the QS April Fairy too! I'm cross country stitching though. I'm working on all the black first and will go colour by colour after that. Got a few Disney based works besides that and a Legend of Zelda piece.

[@StitchinMommy]

That is a fun way to tackle those patterns! It's almost like you're stitching the lines in a coloring book, then coloring in each section. :)

[@quailhollow7955]

Loved this - thanks for sharing with us. I had purchased Nantucket Rose after you shared that with us in an earlier video, and now will be joining in on Dena's SAL for this on August 1st. Hope you can join as well, since you are responsible for enabling me on this one :)

[@FrostyXStitch]

Sharon B I knew I saw that sal somewhere and imediately thought of Sarah! That might get her some motivation to stay with this lovely piece a bit longer... even though I can't wait to see nearly all her wips finished 🤔😄👍🏻

[@quailhollow7955]

She has great taste, so I agree - I love seeing her WIPSs. It would be so fun to stitch along with her on the SAL. How about you Dawn? Is Nantucket Rose in your future?

[@FrostyXStitch]

Sharon B No, I have my own wips that need tending to and this one would be another big one too many 😄 But I will be folowing and watching you all stitching allong 👍🏻🤗

[@StitchinMommy]

So fun!! I think will try to join all of you - it sounds like it'll be a lot of fun! We'll see how much more I can get done when I'm not trying to split my time between multiple projects, like I was when I started this one.

[@StitchinMommy]

I can't wait to see all my wips finished either!!! :) So much stitching, so little time...

[@msufly]

Really enjoyed seeing all your WIPs!

[@StitchinMommy]

Thanks! It was fun to bring them all out again. :)

[@reneec230]

This is so fun, seeing all your wips--I have a lot too, but don't have mine counted up, so I have no idea how many!! Do you think you could explain more at some time about how you do half or quarter stitches? What is your method for that? I am working on a Candamar kit that is full coverage but has quite a bit of partial stitches. I'm really not happy with how they look and wonder if I'm doing it right? I'm loving your channel, thanks for the time you put into the videos!

[@StitchinMommy]

I finally got around to putting all my WIPs in a spreadsheet a few months ago - up until that time, I had no idea how many I had either. It's almost nicer to not know! Yes, I can make a video about fractional stitches. It might not happen until my kids are back in school, but stay tuned!

[@Linda-Lovestostitch]

I love your WIPs.

[@herhastitcher5549]

can you please give more info on the the creation piece? I loved it...fun! video...love all the wips...ty for sharing

[@StitchinMommy]

I wish I had more information on that creation piece! I only have a copy of the actual chart. I think it came from a kit that my first college roommate's aunt had 18 years ago. I don't have any way to track that down again, and I haven't been able to search for it successfully online. :( If I ever come across it, I'll be sure to pass along the information.

[@henniejo]

Herhastitcher ! I just bought it on Amazon, it's called "in the beginning" from dimensions. When Sarah shared hers, I looked it up online right away, and thinking I want to make this for my kids :)

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you so much!!! Now I can have a proper finished picture to print out as well as provide a link for other interested stitchers. Have fun stitching it! I'm hoping to get it out again near the end of the month.

[@herhastitcher5549]

Thanks for finding this..going to look now😁

[@StitchinMommy]

Here's a link if you're having trouble finding it: amzn.to/2vaSx8g. I'm so happy it's been found!

[@karendavis-macon9658]

Join us for a Nantucket Rose SAL created by Dena half stitch cross-stitch on August 1st. ALL OF YOUR WIP's are just gorgeous!! You are not by yourself because I'm a BAP girl too. Not working on A BAP right now, but on the sidelines is Kingdom of Books. Next start DRAGONS OF SUMATRA!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY!!

[@StitchinMommy]

I think I will join you! It'll be fun to work on it at the same time as so many of you. :) I love large projects! Small projects just don't usually hold much appeal to me. I get finishes less often as a result, but I really enjoy everything I have started. :)

[@Amandaz2011]

Beautiful projects and gorgeous stitching! I was wondering about the tubes where you put your wips. Where can I get ones like these? All the best :)

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you! My tubes come from a variety of sources. Most of them have been salvaged from buying fabric at craft stores, when it comes rolled up in a tube. I also have utilized old wrapping paper tubes, closing off one end with paper. I even have a nice tube that a wall map came in, so I put one of my big WIPs in that one. Occasionally, I've created a small tube out of card stock if I didn't have one handy. Lots of re-purposing! You could use shipping tubes also, but I've always just used whatever I've had lying around - "storage from stash"! :)

[@kimberlyvinson8386]

Wow! You choose very challenging pieces to stitch! I would never be able to complete all of those in 2 lifetimes, lol. One question; how do you work on the project with the 40 count fabric? I have trouble due to my eyesight even stitching on 28 count but I have some jewelry I want to complete and it has 40 count fabric. Any tips at all would be so appreciated. You are obviously so very talented/creative. Thank you for sharing; very interesting!

[@StitchinMommy]

Kimberly Vinson Hi! So far, I’ve been able to stitch on 40ct fabric without any trouble. I have a nice, bright daytime bulb in the lamp by my stitching chair, and that’s all I need. I have heard other stitchers enjoy using magnifiers for smaller counts. 😊

[@maureendetwiler6950]

Been x stitching for 40 years and discovered your videos while browsing KZbin. I play your videos while I'm stitching and find them relaxing. I have to say, it would drive me crazy to have so many WIP, but that's me. A question I have is, when you don't stitch to completion, how do you make sure the dye lots are consistent? Keep up the good work. Love to see young folks stitching. I have also found that Heaven and Earth designs' pattern photos don't always match colors used in pattern.

[@StitchinMommy]

Welcome to Flosstube! I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. These stitching videos are very fun, and quite addictive - I have several channels I like to watch while I stitch also. :) I think I used to stitch more focused on a single project, but things have ballooned in recent years. ;) I have only had a few problems with dye lots, because I usually have enough to finish a piece, and even if I don't, the colors aren't usually touching, so it doesn't end up being an issue. One time I did have to pull out some old stitches because I just couldn't fudge it with a large patch of the same color, but that was the only time it's been a problem.

[@claragonzalez8148]

Hello.. I am from Venezuela and I LOVE the Cross Stitch. Lamentablemente no consigo ese tipo de Kit aquí y algunos son muy muy costosos y en dólares lo cual es imposible en este tiempo. Sin embargo muchas gracias por tus explicaciones me ayudan a mantener este deseo vivo de algún día poder hacer algo parecido

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you might some day find some fabric and threads in your country because there are several digital patterns you could find to stitch that would not require shipping. :)

[@FrostyXStitch]

Thank you for sharing! I would be overwhelmed by so many starts, but you seem to have a plan for nearly all of them and how to keep them interesting. I might try some of your ideas when I get back to my full coverage projects. Can you tell me what you mean by "fractional stitches"? Are those 1/4 stitches on aida?

[@StitchinMommy]

I'm a little bit overwhelmed by all of them, but I'm trying to just settle in and enjoy the process. :) Yes, fractional stitches are those little 1/4 stitches or even 3/4 stitches that happen when the back-stitching cuts across the diagonal of the stitch. I really enjoy the look they give to some designs, but it seems to be one of those things that a portion of the stitching world has a dislike of - in addition to blended threads, back-stitching, beading, etc. So, I figured I would point that out, since it's something different than a typical cross stitch. :)

[@FrostyXStitch]

Stitchin' Mommy thank you for clearing that up. I don't mind those stitches, even on Aida, I take them as part of my pattern and they belong, so I don't dwell on them and just do it. 😊

[@vipajoclto]

Love all your protects! I only wish I could be a fast stitcher as you are! I have a question, what does FFO stands for? I hear it all the time, but I don't know the meaning!🙈

[@StitchinMommy]

Hi! FFO stands for "Fully Finished Object". People use FO for "Finished Object", but when they get it framed or finished into a pillow or something, then it's fully finished. :)

[@mariagonzales9468]

Wow. Beautiful

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you!

[@trishalynn56]

I am enjoying your work. You are great in your tutorials, thank you! I have a question. I see a lot of FFOs for sale at rather high prices. Do you or perhaps your fans sell much at those prices? I was wondering how much people out there want to buy this art.

[@celinerobion8961]

i love tout choices. Céline trop france

[@StitchinMommy]

Thank you!

[@StitchnMaiden]

Can you tell me what pages you are using for stitchers retreat? And the difference in the floss? I love your idea with this pattern.

[@StitchinMommy]

I'm now only stitching pages: 20-25, 29-34, 38-43 and 47-52. I'm not sure how that effects the floss and how many stitches are left in each color. I just took the pages I'm not stitching out of my binder and used them as scratch paper - nothing super fancy - so I have no way of calculating the new stitch counts. :) I hope you have fun if you stitch it this way!

[@StitchnMaiden]

Stitchin' Mommy Thanks so much!

[@sh-pc3uj]

Hello have you order on aliexpress the printed cross stitch? I want to try it but im confuse what kind of stitches is needed.

[@StitchinMommy]

I have never tried their printed cross stitch, so I'm not sure how they are. I have seen some other stitchers show that style, and I think all that is needed are regular cross stitches. I hope that helps!

[@nancyspicer6046]

what do you mean when you whip stitch? I have never heard of that before.

[@pompeystato]

WIP stands for 'work in progress' projects.

[@BeautySwirl36]

Hey, I was just wondering where you get all these amazing kits from.

[@StitchinMommy]

I have gotten my kits and patterns from a variety of places. Sometimes I'll buy kits in craft stores, or online at places like 123stitch.com. Sometimes I'll buy just the pattern from 123stitch.com, or other designer specific websites like goldenkite.com, heavenandearthdesigns.com or thefrostedpumpkinstitchery.com and find my own fabric and threads at either local craft stores or online at places like 123stitch.com, needleworkplus.com or traditionalstitches.com. There are some designers of digital patterns on etsy.com. You can also occasionally find things on ebay.com as well. I hope that was helpful! Happy hunting for great stitchy stuff!

[@JasperJanssen]

What you’re not allowed to do with the Disney thing is use the pattern to decorate *something else*. You’re totally allowed to put the pattern on the provided fabric with the provided floss (obviously, that’s the goal of the product after all), and you’re also allowed to sell the resultant piece of decorated fabric, with or without the pattern papers, because First Sale Doctrine. But you can’t make it with your own fabric and floss ten times from just one copy of the pattern and sell *those*. How accurately Disney’s cease-and-desist lawyers (and etsy’s DMCA complaints department) will make that distinction is up for debate, no idea whether Etsy would leave a listing like that up.

[@dianeandrusiak1096]

I tried and it became a mess of colours and strings XD I’m still practicing

[@StitchinMommy]

Practice makes perfect! We all start somewhere and gradually develop skills and confidence. I hope you enjoy what you're stitching! :)

[@barbaradoerfler5730]

I have heard the term confetti used a lot. I don't know what that is . could someone please explain.

[@StitchinMommy]

Confetti is a term to refer to the sections of a pattern that have a ton of colors in the same small area. Heavy "confetti" can have, for example, 30-50 unique colors in a 100 square section. Sometimes, a color will only have 1 or 2 stitches in an area, and then, that color doesn't occur again for a long time in the pattern. Since there are lots of little sprinkles of different colors, the term confetti was given to those sections. Does that make sense?

[@barbaradoerfler5730]

Stitchin' Mommy yes, thank you for the explanation

[@rachela1142]

How do I get into these groups for stitching challenges and stitch alongs?

[@StitchinMommy]

There are several groups on Facebook that you could join to participate in stitch alongs and challenges. I'm a part of Stitch Maynia, and they have a list in the "Files" section of all the SALs that are current and all the way through the end of 2018. Lots to pick and choose from there! The Official Heaven and Earth Designs FB group has challenges every few months that you can participate in - I've done 1-1/2 of those. I've also heard a lot of people participating in SALs and challenges in the group Cross Stitch Finish Line, but I haven't joined that group yet. I'm afraid it will put undo pressure on me to stitch more than I ought to. :) I also am a part of a forum on the Golden Kite website that has regular SALs every weekend, but I only participate when they have longer SALs that include weekdays, since I don't get very much stitching time on the weekend. I hope that was helpful!

I do have a couple videos up where I share my parking method. One goes into detail about my favorite parking method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWqpqXeCfZmDa5o. Another one has three different starts, but I believe around the 38 minute point in the video, I talk about how I mark my parked threads as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqevh5Zne9xreZI.
