  1. So great to see so many young people cross stitching a gain. I thought it was really nice to meet your boyfriend on your floss tube.
    5th day of Christmas is so pretty!

  2. Lady Claus is cute. I emailed you concerning the free sal pattern. Another nice video with great plans. Merry Christmas.

  3. I like to stitch in season, unless it's a gift; However, in 2023 I plan to stitch on the 4th each mo a patriotic/ 25th each mo Christmas/ 4th Thur Fall/ 31st Halloween Let's see if this works

  4. I enjoyed your Flosstube! I’m planning to start the tree temperature chart in January. Lady Claus is cute pattern. Merry Christmas. Happy stitching 🧵🪡

  5. I love Mrs. Claus. All your WIPs and plans are really cool. Sleeting in Minnesota and suppose to change to snow tonight so hope I will be able to stitch. Good luck with all your plans for 2023. Happy stitching and Happy Holidays!

  6. Great video Katie!! Love your peace finish and your frame is perfect! i would love to stitch claus! thanks for sharing your love of needlework!

  7. If you are already questioning the thin cloth you might want to start it over on a different one. Enjoyed the Flosstube!

  8. I love your Silent Night, it is coming out really pretty. I am also doing Christmas Delivery. I was working on it last night when I discovered that I messed up the white boarder across the bottom when I was working on the sled runners. I ended up having to frog everything that I had done. Now I have to start over🥺😢. I would love it if you could send me the pattern for Joy of Winter or let me know where I can find it. Another great video. Each one I can see you getting more and more relaxed. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas with your family. Have a great week. Looking forward to your next video

  9. Your 5th Day looks great! I have that same Liz Mathews bunny chart in my cart. Love her stuff. You have me contemplating Spring Quaker. However I will need to figure out a different type of day to start since TX rarely gets snow.

  10. Hi Katie, your progress on your sal and Silent Night is looking lovely 🤗💖. I really like the Prairie School pattern, too.

  11. Lady Claus is so cute and she is the perfect stitch to the Santa Claus that was in the SQ a couple of years ago (which I did stitch!). I think that 30 ct fabric would be fine if you put batting or a white board behind it, but you’ll have to he sure that you don’t carry any threads and clip your tails close so they don’t show when framing. It is a good, Springy fabric though!

  12. Great Flosstube. Your Silent Night looks amazing, and your 5th Day of Christmas. I too have the pattern from Liz Matthews with he bunny. Maybe we can do a SAL with that one. I was thinking of starting it in February too. In between Christmas and New Year, I’m going to start Winter Tranquility by Twin Peak Primitives. They offered it free after The Vintage Stitcher asked them to re-release it. I might do the 12 x12 on New Year’s Eve, and kit up 12 patterns I want to do next year. Most are small, so not too overwhelming. It’s with Kea Bee and Pam from Just Keep Stitching. Thank you so much for great inspiration

  13. The Jingleball was fun, I won a Teresa Kogut pattern in a raffle … that fabric is very sheer, is it hard to stitch on? The flowers would be pretty on it. I just joined a Sal 12stitchesofchristmas we will see. I have not finished a Sal yet. 😀 Do you follow Rainy Day Reads and creates?. I think you would like her .
