So fun! Yay starts, finishes and WIPs! So lovely to catch up with you this evening, friend : ) Happy Stitching!

[kbhstitches]

Oh trust me she knows and thinks of you as a friend as well! It truly is amazing how many things we do have in common! And I added a few to my wishlist as well. I’m so thrilled our paths have crossed.

Your colors for the quacker is just gorgeous and I’m so excited that you are going to join in on Hello Halloween!

My votes: Some sort of Fun for 50 reminder. The greens on the fox! I would count all of your starts as starts but also allow yourself an extra for good luck! (My family always put an extra candle on the cake for luck)

I made it to 50 starts and am going to keep going until I reach my own age Sally. I think I will do this every year. We both have retreats coming up…hooray! 🦉🧵🪡😊

Always great to see what you’re working on. Count the secret stitches because they exist 😅

[kirsti.diamondstitcher]

Definitely go with the green threads! They are beautiful 💚

[alliorrfly]

I'm voting for the green thread. But both are nice. Lovely stitching Sally 😊

[goodstitches]

Hi sally im in love with that purple fabric for the Barbara ana stitch and i would do green for the vines and what a lovely gift your mum made you such a keepsake for life to pass down i love things like that look forward to another flosstube ❤🫶🏻

[KellyGreen-iojs]

Love all your starts and excited to see the 8 more you have left! I have emailed you. Thanks again❤

[susanacevedo]

Hi Sally, glad to see you again and love seeing all the stitching as usual. Lots of comments for you so first I vote for the green vines… the blue won’t show up as well. Also go for the 51st start. We always add an additional birthday candle for luck and to ‘grow’ on…😂, , , there just isnt enough time to stitch all the things!!!!…as always, happy stitching. Cheers!

[stephaniewingett]

Lovely video, Sally. Let's see ... the 2 questions I can remember - green thread instead of blue; 50 for 50 SAL for the writing. steph x

[stitchysally]

Hi Sally, I’ve finally got around to watching your floss tube. I’m a bit behind at the moment! Loved seeing all of your WIPs. Light is looking amazing. I still think the greens will look gorgeous on the fabric. Love your progress on With Thy Hands. Can’t wait to see what fabric you get for Cabin in the Woods. I’m planning on starting it for my birthday. Have a fantastic birthday. Happy stitching 😊 x
