    Wow! 70 WIPs! I love the variety, and have saved your video to use as a catalog of pztterns. I am currently working on a large HAED, Prairie Schooler Alphabet done all on one piece, hoping to complete a letter a month, a Christmas ornmament a month, and I am about to atart a stocking. I need to pull out a UFO to work to a finish this year as well. I will be extremely happy if I achieve my goals, but trying to do any more would be stressful! Sending happy stitching wishes from Alberta, Canada.

    Hi, meant to ask earlier, any chance you would share the dimensions to make your smaller project bags? The ones you love so much. They look like they'd be my ideal size too. Looking for a list of what size each piece of fabric is cut. Unless you want to do a flosstube extra about them... 😉
