I too plan to stitch (which you and I choose many of the same charts) Plumstreets Salem Sampler. I'm in total agreement with you on the Cotton Mother quote and will substitute something else. Old Cotton was all about initiating fear. No need to scare children...or big children. 😊

I came across your channel and i am so pleased. I too come from a family who have encouraged and supportive of my cross stitching but dont really understand why i breathe and live for the art of cross stitching. Even better that you stitching samplers mostly from Hands Across the Sea I too mostly stitch these. Your switching is exquisite and I was awestruck. Loved your chat feels thats your talking to me over a cup of tea. Cant wait till your next video. Doreen x

You have so much information in your videos. I may have to watch several times.

Loved watching your projects. I want to tackle a Hands Across the Sea patten this month. My LNS has quite a few so maybe it’ll be easier finding one that works with a newbie. I’m sure once I get going I’m going to become an addict ❤❤❤Happy Nee Year Sweetie 🎉

Wonderful flosstube. I started Kathleen Dempsey 1883 HATS pattern for my blessing sampler. I have a few HATS projects but was hesitant to stitch with 100.3 since I never used silk before but I was really worried for nothing. Your Hannah Campbell is beautiful. I also have that one. Happy Stitching!

[joanneenglishgantt]

I totally agree with you about the scissors. I have used Gingher, Dovo, Premax, Sajou, Cohana etc but my favorite is the golden forge scissors I bought from Hoop and Frame. Love love them…solid pair of sharp and perfect length scissors. Great video! Always enjoy them.

[ColleenBrandt-tmjz]

Beautiful work! Loved both framed pieces. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[ruthcole]

Happy New Year! Your work is beautiful. Love everything you showed. Don’t sweat the pink in the rose. You will be the only one who knows it is there. Enjoy all of your new starts 😊

Happy New Year Audrey!! Wow! Hannah is my favourite - what a fabulous first HATS chart you chose! Well done Rupert - the frame is PERFECT!!

[kathygutzman]

Thanks for another wonderful video! I plan on starting Isabella Uffindell in March on my daughter's birthday, who is named Isabella. I appreciate your thoughtfulness when deciding what quotes to stitch on your samplers. ❤❤❤

[Elizabeth-pjif]

Thank you so much for your kind words about Caroline, Aimee, and me! I’m glad you enjoyed spending some time with us- I certainly enjoyed spending the last hour with you. 💚

[leslies]

Another great video! Rupert’s choice of frame was perfect for that piece. It really accentuates the border.

[lanelles]

Audrey, wow here we are in 2025 …I will be excited to see how you like the new rabbit hole of embroidery…the book looks amazing. Lovely gift from a new friend ❣️. Love your framed pieces I’m sure they look stunningly beautiful on your walls. Kudos to Rupert! How special to have him involved…your stitching on Neeltje Cornelia van Buren is simply incredible what a packed border sampler. I have used Hoop & Frame never disappoint….love your pear stitch I enjoy painter’s thread too..I was laughing out loud at your description of watching Thread Gremlins especially when Ryan gets involved what a hoot 😂 wishing you all the best with your stitching enjoy have fun…hey Thanks for mention so humbling….congrats on all new subscribers! See you next time, 🕊️L

[RosieintheRockies]

I'm supposed to stitch from stash this year, and every time I see one of your videos I just want to buy and stitch more HATS designs! Thank you for the stitchy inspiration and happy new year!

[lourdesnunez]

This is a great video. I enjoyed it
You do not need to apologize for wrinkle fabric nor for making noise. Neither is unrespectful.

[charj]

Your start on Anne 1854 looks beautiful and the colors are lovely.

[Needleworkonthego]

Oh Audrey-you are aiding and abetting!😉😂😂 Seeing your framed pieces was inspiring. I already have 2025 plans for Maria Ewin but her friend Anne Thomas may join in the fun-she is already waiting fully kitted after-all! Happy New Year!

[stephknight]

Great video! I still haven’t started Maria Ewin. Torn between her and kitting up Elizabeth Furniss. Like I need another huge project. Love all your shares. Happy New Year!

[Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

Happy New Year Audrey. Beautiful finishes and loved hearing your plans. I had linen that disappeared en route a year ago. The dyer was going to send me more and then it finally showed up after traveling who knows where. I think your idea to make the trip to Batavia is wise!
