Emily that piece for your mother needs to be your focus piece. OMG I love the fabric you are using. The motivation would be you need to finish it asap so your mother can enjoy it while she is here to cherish it .

I stitched Emily's house in 2023 and framed it and have it up on my wall. I Absolutely adored stitching it and I love being able to see it every day. This was a stunning WIP parade. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Hi Emily, loved your WIP Parade. It was lovely to see Buster too, his meow melts my heart!

I’m sitting here drinking my morning coffee and reading my news apps when I wondered if anyone had put up a wip parade, and there you are! Thank you!

Your video was the perfect company for a session of confetti stitching. Once I have started a project I roll the fabric to avoid making solid fold lines. Happy New Year.

Love your progress on your beautiful wips. Happy stitching!

I got ahold of Daz and a Carmen the Chameleon and a Mr. Squirrel will be hanging happily on my stitching this year. Thanks so much. I'm really looking forward to seeing progress on your MFE Time piece...once you decide on the floss and fabric.

A gorgeous line-up. I have paused your video so many times to go and put things in my wish list. Thank you for your inspiration. I bought Sara Dutnel a while ago after seeing it posted on Instagram. It's such a beauty and yours is only the second one I've seen.

Thank you for the mini WIP parade. You are so enabling. I will have to look at Scarlett Letter.

Great WIP video Emily. Thanks for the Etsy store mention. Glad you liked your little Christmas bag. I've got a few of the same samplers going. I'm a little ahead of you on Caroline Amelia Trowell and I am really going to try to finish her this year. So many beautiful things to work on! Have a happy and healthy New Year!

Enjoyed seeing your wips and plans. Always so many stitches that i love. Happy New Year!

This is first time I have watched you video. I understand where you are coming from wanting to stitch on a project and don’t get to it. Love the video and will be watching again. Have a wonderful New year.

I'm lucky - my maiden name is Rose and there are many, many samplers with rose motifs or Rose as the middle name of the stitcher. My mother's maiden name was Shields and that's what Blackbird's "Sisters" book is all about. Also, my paternal great grandmother's name was Carr and I have "Mary Carr". One of these days maybe you'll find sampler with your maiden name. It could happen!

You're not alone. I lost my dad 10 years ago this past November 30. It still isn't easy. A few years ago I stitched a piece in remembrance of him. It was Silver Creek Samplers When Life is Done. It was a hard stitch to make it through.

Hugs. And I JUST watched your WIP Parade while doing some mindless spreadsheet work.

I am trying to get inspired to stitch. Who better to catch up with than you? I didn’t expect you to make me cry. I lost my father back in April. I still can’t seem to wrap my mind around it. My heart gets it, but I’m still working through the PTSD of the whole hospice experience and taking care of him the last two years. It’s actually a good thing when the tears come.

You have a real gift of choosing fabric for your pieces! I especially love the fabric you are using for "The Floral Motif" Happy Stitching!!

Thanks so much for the content Emily. We are awaiting news on my husband’s heart issues so I appreciated the diversion! Great projects! ❤ Lori

I came upon your video and decided to watch it. You have so many beautiful patterns and wips. I love them all. Your Christmas gifts were so nice, I loved the fabric. Your projects bags are so pretty. I enjoyed seeing your cat. He is so sweet. Can't wait to see you again.

Emily , The very colorful long dog sampler blew me away ! Beautiful projects you have , your cat is so adorable loved seeing him too . Take care ,and thank you .

Love traditional eggs benedict and it is also my favorite breakfast!

Loved your video Emily and all your gorgeous WIPS! You kept me company while I cut out a quilt! I hope you have a wonderful New Year! ~ Olivia

I always enjoy seeing what you are working on or planning to work on. You have so many beautiful projects. When you mentioned that you have a piece that you want to do for your mother, I decided that I wanted to share my story with you and you can decide to take it or leave, totally up to you. I lost my mother on Christmas Eve this year, she was 97 and had lived a good life and over the last couple of years her vision was almost non-existent which greatly affected her quality of life. I have a WIP of Jesus that she absolutely loved, and you probably know where this is going. I did not make it a priority to finish it before she passed so I just want to share this with you so that you might avoid the guilt feeling this has given me. I am now finishing it and I hope to have it inscribed on her headstone, but I so wish that I had just gone ahead and finished it instead of putting it off. Your mother is one year younger than me, so I pray that you don’t have any regrets. I also have a piece that is one that my daughter wants (there are two pieces that coordinate with each other), and I already have one of them done and framed. As soon as I finish the Jesus portrait, I am going to focus on the piece for my daughter so I don’t disappoint her by not finishing it. I just felt that I needed to share this with you and you can decide what you want to do. I definitely do not pass any judgement on anyone but I so wish I had made better choices when I still had the time. P.S. Your kitty is absolutely adorable!! Blessings to you for 2024!

Totally agree!❤

Great WIP parade. Great to see you and Buster too. Happy New Year!❤

I was hoping for some epic Saturday morning flosstubes & your video delivered! I enjoyed stitching on my soothing Carolyn Manning while seeing all your beautiful projects. Happy New Year! 😊

Emily wonderful time spent with you! Great to see Buster. ❤ your hair. Stitch what you love. Thank you for sharing & Happy New Year!

Thanks for another awesome video! So many beautiful pieces and lots of inspiration! Hope you had a lovely New Years! K

First time watching your Flosstube, love your WIPS and your beautiful fur baby. Thank you for sharing. 💗

Your WIPS are all gorgeous. Just an idea, could you number each of your WIP bags, then on 1st day of month, draw 2 numbers, work on those two for a week each, then use other two weeks to work on new starts or SALs. Alternate weeks, no fixed plan. Lots of unfinished pieces frazzel me, so I have four. Another idea is put the WIPS in closest to finished order and do those first for two weeks. But I overthink everything, so do You! Each wip would have some progress by year’s end.

Love all your WIPs. When Buster meows, my dog perks up and looks around to figure out where the cat is so she can play with it. Also Dr. Pepper Cream Soda is my favorite too.

LOVE your change on Live on Little! That’s going to be amazing when finished. It’s one of my favorite designs by Plum Street. I grew up a block from the Atlantic Ocean and the Shrewsbury River so I’m drawn to designs that are coastal themes.

What a great video. I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks Emily!

absolutely great video. thank you

I also love 'live on little'! I love your colourful version of 'death by cross stitch'! I have a plan to finish your Mom's piece... take all your other projects to her house, and tell her to give them back to you when you bring her finished gift for her! Happy New Year!

How did you know I was watching??? Oh lordy, I love that Sarah Dutnel! Definitely a bucket list sampler for me. Totally down to start it with you when you're ready. Just give me time to gather threads! Okay, back to the video. I'm so excited about how long this is!

Happy New Year Emily

Emily, I enjoyed this so much. Thank you and Buster for making my night so much more enjoyable! ❤

I was stitching Riley Harbor when you showed Riley Harbor. I changed all the colors. Loved all your samplers.

I don’t mind construction sounds, my dad was a contractor and it brings me joy to hear it cause it means something is getting fixed or something new for someone is coming. Where we live however we are in the mountains where you would expect solitude, but no we have tourists in Airbnbs around us nonstop ready to party and thinking your yard is the forest and they can come on it. Ugh. I wear noise canceling headphones when the music and cursing is out of control. Mountains have no noise ordinance so yay 🎉

I’m so excited!! Made my evening to see you pop up! Whoop whoop! My cat Simon is crawling all Over me and when he settles in for a snuggle we are watching! Your hair cut is adorable I love it!!! It’s so fun to change hair up now and then! Ok on to watching !!!!

So many Beautiful WIPs! Work on the ones that are closer to a finish. Happy New Year!

EMILY C how did I miss that you have a Grateful Dead bag? I love you girl!

What a great group of projects. Buster has the prettiest eyes. Hi Buster! Happy New Year! Marilyn

I sympathise with you on the loss of your father 💙 my dad has been gone for 15 years in June this year and it still hurts 😢 my dad and I were close too. I’ve really enjoyed your mini WIP parade especially The Red Deer Sampler 😍 your fabric is gorgeous

Two cups of coffee and a whole lotta stitchy inspiration! ❤️

Happy New Year ✨🥂🥳

Motivation...reward yourself after each small success

LOL - there’s no shame in cross stitch! Any stitching is good stitching. Great lineup for 2024. Thanks for sharing with us. Happy New Year!

Holes? No worries. It's just well used (loved).LOL!!!! 🙂

This was so good Emily!!! The Van Morrison quote is perfect. I hope you pull out Christy Baron - I'll be starting her soon. I'm doing an abbreviated version of Riley Harbor - it's such a great pattern. What a wonderful tribute to your Dad. HNY, Gia

Your husband did GOOD! When you mentioned the Needle Bling linen “heirloom,” I was JUST putting in the first stitches into my first piece of the same fabric. It’s nice! I know what you mean about never finding a sampler with your name. Imagine my shock when I discovered Isabill Robb (my maiden name) by Samplers Not Forgotten.

You show me your shit ton of stuff, and I'll be over here getting my office in order at my new place. So much goodness! I vote to get your mom's piece is rotation. Xo

I think you and I have a lot of the same WIPs. I've finished a few of the ones you showed though. I'm debating if I want to start a new one for the new year or just work on one of the 65+ WIPS that I have.

The text on the bottom of the red deer sampler looks to me to be “Hannesje Zoet 1866” It’s a Dutch name (I’m Dutch myself). Hannesje is the first name and Zoet is the surname.

I am with you about Red Deer. It was supposed to be a focus for me in 2023 so that I would finish it and I didn’t. It’s back on the list for 2024. Ann Rayner is the same way. I think I don’t like the bright colors on it. I should have done Sarah Stewart Harriman. Maybe I should pass my Ann Rayner on to someone else to finish.

Ann Behney...I loved this video and your whole channel.

Good morning Emily happy Saturday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

Wow! ❤

Oh love the winter moon pattern and wow the needleminder❤. Great Christmas presents! Love the halloween eve. Well so many awesome wips and great plans. Emily, you said it yourself… mothers don’t live forever.. please do it and give it to her. You will be so upset if not. I just turned 67new yrs eve and this yr is working on ones for my husband, son, daughter and dil and sil. I wont get them all done this yr but working on finishing the haed for my husband now and all feb with full coverage feb except feb 1 as my son’s 46th bday and l will work on his. Having had breast cancer, I understand how life can be omg is this it… just do it for all the mothers who reply!❤. My mother died june 1 2009 and still to this day I miss her so much. Talk to her daily, perhaps that is also why I hope you get your mum’s done. My dad died 2015 and miss him as well. I was fortunate to have them in my life so long.

Emily you have the best WIPS, they would all be calling me. Very noisy actually. Wondering if you do your verse charting by hand or use a program? I'm doing mine by hand and what a pain. Buster is the star of the show, as always. And hooray, I'm a Mad For Minders winner, thank you both!

I use a program called PCStitch. Makes charting easy.

How long it’s taken to find your ft on my feed

Sarah Stewart Hardman is similar to Ann Raynor which very out of print.

I know who the mystery shop owner is - and I agree, she’s awesome. But… I almost don’t want you saying her name/shop cuz EVERYONE will know our excellent linen source! Is that terrible to say?? 😂😂 Will the cross stitch universe converge upon her and wipe out all her linen?! Maybe I better just go and BUY BUY BUY before everyone else in cross stitch land finds out our “secret.” 😅

Just 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

You can't do DBXS without an alphabet that's classic sampler! Could you swap it for a different one, or at a push, a verse?

Split your mum's sampler into 12 sections and aim to complete one section a month :)
