Yes please! Also would love a how to for the mini sewing box a diy video too

[Thestitchbirdsnest]

The autumn quaker is beautiful! Also i love your table behind you with the candle and flowers. Thanks for an enjoyable video

[TheStitchingOwl]

Hi Arica…I always enjoy your videos. The more yellow fabric for the turkey would certainly give it a distinctive presence once framed I think. 🍂🍁🇨🇦

[StitchingAndTeaWithB.]

Thank you for another enjoyable video. I loved seeing all of your beautiful stitching. Dutch Beauty is gorgeous! I also loved your travel case! It's sooo pretty! And lastly, your hair is beautiful!

[EmmyRosea]

You stitch the most beautiful projects. I would love a video of your sewing table! Your box is beautiful.

[stychaddict]

I've only used the three ply Valdani on 40 count for Brenda Gervais patterns. I had no problem separating it, and stitching with one strand. I did unravel the balls and put it on thread drops (sacrilege!!)

[cherylhoffler]

Yes, I’d like to see what and how you fix up that table. What a great purchase! For your turkey, if it we mine, I would stitch on straw

[stavroulak.]

Lovely projects! Dutch Beauty if my favorite ❤ Also you've got some beautiful fabrics there and I do understand why you would want to use the WDW fabric so much, I mean it's gorgeous, but I would use the one that is called for, for the Turkey Day! Looking forward to your next video, oh and I'd love a a video tutorial about the beautiful sewing case you made 😍🦃🧵🪡

[donnavangemerenburns]

I enjoyed watching your flosstube as always.
I usually don't like to give my 2 cents comment, but you asked for it.For your turkey, not the straw.You are right about the leaves blending in, but more that that I don't think he would pop.
I love your reconciliation piece and the fact that you are educating yourself.What a wonderful idea, you inspire me to learn even more about our first Nation peoples.I had friends from OKA Quebec and learned a lot especially during the Oka crisis.

[maltesemom]

Definitely do a video on the sewing box and I would do the lighter fabric with the turkey. I have picked something similar for when I start it.

[dianeruno]

I love all your projects Arica- I've loved that turkey for a long time, I really like the straw material, you could always darken the color of the leaves that don't pop enough to a darker orange or even maybe a rust? Can't wait to see your progress!

[karenjones]

Arica, I would love a video of your sewing table redesign, but if it becomes cumbersome to film, seeing the final product would be great as well! I love your Turkey, but I’d go with the mallow fabric so all the colors of the stitch stand out. If you really want to use straw, go for it, I’m sure it will be beautiful either way!

[karinmonnich]

Love your progress on your wips. I have used Valdani on 28 ct and it is pretty thick. I think you will have a hard time pulling 3 strands through 32 ct. But you can always try it first. Happy stitching!

[judithlimbrick]

Love all your stitching Erica it is beautiful. I would love to see a video on finishing your box the little one you showed looks lovely. I have just started to sew and I'm wondering if I could make something similar, although I don't think it would look as polished as yours!!
I vote Straw fabric for your turkey with a change of thread. 😉

[glendamorrow]

I vote for a video of refurbishing the sewing table!

[shelly]

Definitely do a video on your process of remodeling the sewing box ! ❤

[sunnykat]

Thank you Arica I am so glad I am not the only one that orders and forgets what it goes to! 😊

[hannamansfield]

Wow....lots of things...lol...love it. Re turkey and the fabric, I love the straw. One of my favourite linens and you could always make the leaves more Canadian fall colours. Love that idea. I would love to see a video of your sewing table makeover if you have the time. Thanks for all Arica.

[lydiablock]

I have stitched on 32 count with the 3 ply Valdani and had no issues.

[nicolec]

Hi Arica - I would stick with the mallow for the turkey because there are so many bright colours in it that your background should recede and let the turkey be the star. Yes, a video about the table would be fabulous.
