Omg that's so cool! Elizabeth is like a modern day Kentucky Pack Horse Librarian

[shibadesigns]

Happy new year to all of you! Can’t wait to see what this year brings you …and all your watchers 😅

[karenjones]

Happy New Year ladies! I’m not sure which I’m more excited to follow, the UFO sampler or the Dead Cats sampler! Aimee, you will have to let Elizabeth or Caroline nickname one of yours, lol!

[jedxstitch]

Congrats on the poison apple tree finish! I have never told Denise I design patterns lol. I mostly kit up Nora corbetts or buy fabric with no use in mind when I’m there

[carrielgs]

Yay, my favorite show! Nice new light, lots of laughs, always an excellent way to spend an evening. Happy new year, everyone!

[StitchStitchBead]

You guys had me laughing SO HARD!!! Caroline, so glad to find another obsessed with 100.3s. And I have already stitched The Rose and The Giant Pear once and am stitching it a second time. You'll love it! The colors in the pear are spectacular. Happy stitching and a very Happy New Year to you all! 🥰

[rosetree]

Congrats on the breakthrough, Caroline! Checkpoints and landmarks are key for me! Happy New Year, gang!

[HobbiesAndHyperfocus]

Wow, I had found that bell pull kit at a local second hand craft place and sold it earlier this year!

[craftswithchristina]

I would loooove to have a Chatelaine help group! I'm starting my first one along with Fiberartsamy who's doing a stitch along for the Watergarden Mandala. And I'm scared.... Lol.
I'm also kitted up for Siege of Bunny Castle and plan on stitching it along you all!
So happy to see all your progress for the last year! You both have improved leaps and bounds in your stitching and I can't wait to see everything you do in 2025!

I know this video is a bit old but I learned a tip from Nicola of Hands Across the Sea that saved me on those long lines of stitches with no checkpoints. Stitch the line in Danish but do both legs of the cross on every 10th stitch. It makes it very easy to track where you're at and also a lot easier to find mistakes.

Love the new lighting, so happy to see you so soon after Christmas 🎄 . Happy New Year.

[SarahsStitchySpot]

So many fabulous projects. I am no lighting “guy”, but I thought it looked great, not harsh. Thank you for another wonderful episode, my dears!

[amandaallen]

I recently kitted up GH 1857 and had Vikki Clayton do a conversion. I can’t wait to start it because they are beautiful!

[sarahdaza]

Yay!!! Thought I would have to wait till next year to see you guys🎉🎉
Happy new years❤

[MarissaMcConnell]

Ooo! Aimee! I just started Poison Apple tree last night because my New Year, New Start plan fizzled because I didn't have the plain black Aida I thought I did and I too have that bag of like 5 of her patterns! Did you see her latest flosstube!?!? That new Aviary(?i think?) one she is working on with the dragons and the birds? OMG. STAHP.

Caroline--The beads are definitely weighed. I used to own a bead store, and while it IS fun, the fun drains a BIT after weighing out the millionth baggie, vial, and container full of beads :) Although that DOES mean I have a TON of Swarovski Crystals that I'm glad I hoarded now that they stopped selling them.

[acueto]

Yay so happy you are already starting the pattern, gorgeous!

[officialmermaidscove]

Dmc Etoile is what I recommend for people who want extra sparkle. It feels like stitching with cotton floss. Does still fray a bit so short lengths are still recommend

[Stitchykiwigirl]

Martha Walmsley looks sooo good already! Love your idea to just stitch the border corners… genius! I stitched The Visitor last year… so many more stitches than I thought it would be, very pretty tho

[stephknight]

Seriously excellent video. I have Martha and that Little Robin Design UFO angel all ready to go. I also ordered 100.3 for Giant pear just yesterday. We are like sisters from another mother. Have a happy new year!

[HobbiesAndHyperfocus]

I just purchased my FIRST full Chatelaine which I have wanted to do for FOREVER! I haven't started kitting, because getting anything in Canada is stressful. I am thinking of just getting the beads from European Cross Stitch, if they are still in business with all the new EU rules...

This is my first time listening to you with headphones on. I had to stop so many times to see if it was kids on the video yelling and doing kid sounds or MY kids... LOL I'm a mom of 6 (but only 2 live at home now since most are adults now)
