I live in Germany and the dogwood species around here don’t have such flowers. I would call these cherry blossoms. And cherry trees do grow in Massachusetts.
How about apple blossoms? Or crabapple? Some fruit tree in any event. Your idea to adjust the amount of cross stitch is good, EJ – hope you remember as you go. Love 'Night Ladies', Shelia – will be great to see it finished. Thanks, ladies!
Oh my goodness! The two of you crack me up! Love watching both of you and going down the rabbit holes with y’all.
Always love laughing with you.
Love all your videos, so fun. You take a drink and do doI, cracks me up!
EJ- what group is WIP warriors a apart of? When you get a moment….
Does anyone out there know if Leslie hurly phat cat stitching Is ok? She lives in Little Rock Arkansas!!
It’s a spaceship sending down visitors 😂
EJ what planner do you use? I need to simplify mine next year.
Hey EJ when you were talking about the wave I got to thinking about the white girls where they would put a wave inthe front of their hair with their bangs and spray it so stiff with hairspray it would break when a wind came by. I always said they had a rooster's comb on the top of their head😂😂😂
I enjoy your video’s so much. I watch you tube mostly on my smart tv and finally figured out how to “like” but I never miss one. Just keep on keeping on.
Beautiful stitching. Excellent finish by Shelia. Excited to see elegant pumpkins come back. I had the natural wave over swoop in the front because my bangs wouldn't curl for nothing. You both have beautiful hair.
Apple blossom's maybe.
Could they be Dogwood flowers? Just a guess.
Hey Shelia …. I am in Lauderdale and was on Calico cross Stitch Cunard and saw your Hariote Tubman piece there that won 2nd place !!! Beautiful and congratulations 🎉
dipthongs and diagraphs.. I think you may be confusing these. Love your YouTube!
I’m guessing Apple blossoms.
Beautiful finish of Let's Talk Stitching Shelia! Always a joy to watch you two ladies!
A Cali Coffee cup sighting! The owners live in my old neighborhood. 😊 Your rabbit hole about hair brought back memories of my Haitian coworker who would regularly regale us with tales from her Saturdays spent at the salon. Side note, she and I were the same age and both single so we hit the town together on quite a few nights.
You two are so funny. Love both Rosewood Manor pieces. Gorgeous work ladies.
Just found you two… I’m only 10 minutes in & I’m subscribed! Will watch this whole episode & go back to see what else you’ve been up to. Blessings ❤
Hi ladies! Congrats on your finish, Shelia! Thanks for the laughs! Have a great week!
English versus Math: I’m a retired journalist – now watch me make a mistake in my comment! 😂 I always explained why I loved English more than math this way: You can play with words. You change one word out for another one that means the same. Words paint pictures in your mind. Basically, words are your friends hanging out at the park. Math: Numbers don’t play. You can’t change one for another. Oh, no. You are not here to frolic in the park with numbers. They will cut you in halves, quarters, and eighths and not even think twice about it.
Y'all are too much fun and I just love spending some time with y'all every week! You truly are one of the bright spots in my week!!!
OMGosh Shelia! Let's Talk Stitching is beautiful!!
Very nice WIPs EJ! Love the Wizard of Oz piece as I grew up in Kansas and now have a WOZ room in our house in Texas 😀
Very nice WIPs Shelia!
Love the silent S on dragon EJ!!!!
Your laughter makes me laugh with you. Wow I saw a lot of progress. I hope you both enjoy your trips. I need to get a drink one week and drink with you. The rabbit holes are so fun. When I see your flosstube come up I get giddy. like a kid and cannot wait to watch. Happy Stitching.
Thanks for the laughs. We love the rabbit holes!🐰
Just wondering if S could be for Swallowtail butterfly and Siamese cat?
Beautiful stitching as always.🌻
Love seeing all your projects and hearing about your plans 👋💞👋💞
I think the word you’re looking for is digraph.
Great stitching by you both this week. It looks like very good plans for April. And who doesn't love a couple of travel plans thrown in for good measure. I love your chatter, squirrels and rabbit holes. For the English question, E.J., I think you better ask your niece what it means. Have a great week!
You two always make my day. I loved the conversation about hair. I missed EJ talking about the wizard of oz. I’m looking for a good chart. I’m waiting on my delivery for blue rhapsody so I can be just like you two.
Love male designer Aaron Houston of Autumn Lane.
You always say thank you for watching. I would like to say thank you for doing these floss tubes. I very much enjoy them. You always make me giggle.
Wow! Your wips are looking good ladies! Thank you for sharing! Happy Stitching!
In the UK we call it a Diagraph rather than a dipgrath!
You both are so adorable, I love the pointer stick. You both make me smile in my heart.
Sunday mornings wouldn’t be the same without y’all & your rabbit holes! Love seeing what y’all are up to every weekend- thank you!!! 🥰
James the PH Stitcher has now started designing as well! He has two patterns out currently. I’m working on his Cross Stitch Tools sampler.
EJ your hormones are FLYING!! 😛😜😝 We ALL love Harder Daddy!! Let me commend you ladies on sharing with us weekly!! Your choice of fabrics has inspired me to choose the same!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2023!!

I remember that swoop EJ and those long Saturdays in the salon getting my hair fried lol. I went natural in 1995 and never looked back, Love your finish Sheila. It looks amazing. Both of your WIPs are amazing. I love your Quaker Shelia. Thanks for the inspiration
I love your ranting and musing sessions. So much fun! And ALL the beautiful stitching, of course. Love from Japan.
EJ, I'm not sure but your blossoms look like plum blossoms…
Love going down rabbit holes with you ladies!
Oh, Lordy you two make me laugh. I look forward to your video every week. Have a wonderful week!
Hello beautiful ladies!
