Loved looking in your basket and especially hearing you talk about ‘re-starts’ - that was so freeing. Thank you.

Have you thought about having a stitchy retreat at your place? You are so inclusive and inspirational.

I’m A 14 Ct. Aida Stitcher Thank You For Your Kind Words Shellie. Hugs From North Carolina ❤️🤲🏻

I love & look forward to each “visit “ with you!! Bless you for creating a frequent respite from our wacko world!

Hello sweet friend! LOVED seeing what is in your heifer basket! My wish list definitely grew! Always enjoy watching your videos! Looking forward to seeing how you organize your studio and what is in the other baskets you have on the go! Happy stitching - Laura

What a great basket of stitchy goodness. Love everything! Have fun working on them when they are called. Marilyn

I was excited to see Beloved pop up from the basket!

Hi stitchy friend. I did not intend to be a monogamous stitcher but I get into a project and just cannot stop. Currently I am working on Praiseworthy stitches. Courage SAL with Pam from Just Keep stitching. I am a breast cancer survivor celebrating 14 years cancer free. I am enjoying stitching all these motifs. I may have to do the heifer board next year. I, like you did not have an interest for many reasons but don’t think I really understood the concept. Love watching your flosstubes. Have a wonderful day!

So glad you can stitch the cottage sampler as a survivor! ❤❤ lost my mom to breast cancer 1 years ago in December 2022.

Oh, Shellie, you have so many projects I just love! Thanks for sharing! I forgot about the Praiseworthy Stitches, Courage. I need to get that started. Along with myself having metastatic breast cancer, I want to include my brother, who recently finished grueling treatment for melanoma. I am glad you're doing better from your fall! I have a bad tear in my shoulder along with other findings. I have no idea how I did that! Im hoping it doesn't keep me from stitching! Thank you for your inspiration and kindness! You are a blessing to me!!

Hello Shellie, always happy to spend time with you❤

Well, that was fun! Thanks for sharing what’s in your Heifer basket!

My second time watching this! So fun and encouraging.

Shellie, thank you for sharing the content of your stitching basket. Fun indeed 😅.

Enjoyed all your projects! Thanks for sharing all your beautiful things.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. I have 2 Boards (WIPGO & HEIFR), and have met my goals - - got 1 done, 2 WIPs with great progress & 1 New Start, hey that number was called. lol

We have a match! I'm working on Praiseworthy Stitches Courage samer. I too am a breast cancer survivor!! Thanks for pulling out the aida now and then. That's what I stitch on and that's what I enjoy and thats what matters. My courage sal was R25...im almost done with it!!! ❤ Thanks for showing us what's in your HEIFR basket !

Thank you Shellie for sharing your projects. I am glad you showed what you were stitching on Steinbeck linen, I had bought a yard and was so disappointed in the color, it was not anything like the color I saw on the website…the other two fabrics I bought looked liked the images so I am not sure why this one was so off. It helped me to look at the color in a whole new way.

Thanks for that enabling session! I want to stitch all of those things too. lol It's been fun hanging out!

Thank you for your comment about aida stitchers. I enjoy stitching on all fabrics but aida is what I stitch on when I'm comfort stitching away from my bright lights and magnifiers. Like you said, it's just a ground fabric. I celebrate, you, too!

Thanks for sharing, was fun seeing all your projects!

Shellie, thank you for sharing your basket of lovelies! Also, thank you for sharing your Salute to Abagail conversion - I've been wanting to stitch that for a long time but didn't know what colors to choose - so I am using your colors because I love the way it is looking! I have never used Belle Soie silks, and I am excited to give them a try.

Oh I do hope you’re pleased with my conversion. Belle Soie are my very favorite silks and the stitch like a dream. Enjoy!!

Thank you that was great to take a trip along with what you will be working on.

Go Buckeyes! I used to do all that…quilts, crochet, knitting….for unwed mothers, home for unwed mothers, non-abortion organizations., Project Linus. Latest was tiny blankets for babies that were still born and people just left them unclaimed. Breaks my heart. I made 80 quilted blankets for them…I think the covers were 8 inch squares. Love to hear about others that do similar projects. Love your stitching projects.

Oh Shellie you have inspire so. Your projects and stitching are beautiful sweet friend ❤ I love you pretty lady ❤

Great projects! I'll be anxious to see your progress on your beautiful pieces.

I’ve lots of stitching friends in my project bags too😊 some wonderful inspiration Shellie. I’ve a piece of linen that doesn’t float my boat as too stiff,so going to gently wash. If that doesn’t work I’m changing linen. Blessings and happy stitching.

Thank you for sharing, Shellie!

enjoyed! love all that you have kitted up. glad your shoulder is on the mend.

Always feel like we are friends when i sit down to watch you! I finished the cottage sampler in honor of my mom who we lost to breast cancer. I love the Heifr board. I am finally backstitching my oldest WIP so i can get it framed. Hugs❤❤ thanks for all you do.

Oh Shellie thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching. I hope your back and neck is feeling better, I face planted the floor July 13th (my husband was in the hospital having a shoulder replacement) and broke my left shoulder , cracked two ribs blacked my face and messed up my mouth, so I understand the pain! Stitchy friend I hate to be the one to say this but will pull Matilde and look at your stitching between B and C….it looks like you went up 1 row when you started the C. I hope I’m wrong and it was the way you were holding the piece! May God give you a speedy recovery!

"What's In the Basket?" Gotta be a song. Fun visit, Shellie. Thanks!

As always a true inspiration. For years I always worked on linen. As I have aged so have my eyes. I can work on some linens for small projects. However, I am so glad to see all the varieties of 16 and 18 count fabric. My favorites Fiber on a Whim and Picture this plus. What's in my basket?? Lover of My Soul by From the Heart Needleart, Hands to Work by Little House Needleworks and then there's The Daisy Girl by Leisure Arts...I am determine to get this done, have been working on it for a LONGGGG time. The pattern is somewhat challenging but I WILL finish it. Thank you for all your encouraging words. Look forward to your videos every week.

Hi Shellie here I am sitting stitching watching your video, nothing better. I have 4 wips in my basket, Quaker Christmas 2, Let Love Reign by Teresa Kogut, The lords Prayer, and a Christmas stocking for my newest granddaughter who is due in April. 4 really big projects, 2 of which are gifts f that have to be finished this year. 😵‍💫

I Love hearing about what you’re stitching!!!

That was fun & I added something else to my “wants” list😉 Hope you have a great weekend & can’t wait to see another basket of goodness ❤️🪡🧵

I agree if you hate it ditch it, I just sent a whole kit to Goodwill,I had it about half done. Hope someone can finish and enjoy. Always enjoy watching in early morning before starting my day.

It is like stitching with friends. I finished a band and two letters on Fiona Rutherford. Plus I get to see all your projects. I am doing Wipgo, you are right that it helps us make progress. It took me a year of doing it to figure out how to make it work for me. It much more fun now and that's what it's all about, the fun.

Thanks for sharing your projects!

Thank you for showing a sampler on Aida! Sometimes linen doesn’t work for aging eyes.

I love your friend project! ❤

I just love following you: you are such an inspiration

Love the Mill House pattern. I must have it!!

I stitch on scroll rods and my solution to taking my stitch on trips was a telescoping art tube - actually got it at a sailboat shop - they used them for maps. It’s about 4” across. Used it to haul large stitches (24” tall) to Newfoundland for two weeks and to San Diego multiple times.

Thank you for the AIDA💕 I just can't see the holes on the linen. I enjoy seeing all of your lovely work.

Your Aida piece is beautiful ❤

It was a treat to see what was in your stitching basket. I especially liked the Mathilde sampler because it is small and only letters which makes it easy to finish. Don’t know if the pattern is this way but it looks like the spacing under the letters C,D,E, and F is larger than the A and B. Would hate to see you continue to stitch the whole line and have to rip it out! Hope it will be available later since it came in the red box. Happy stitching.

This was so fun. You really give us a good long up close look at your patterns and projects. Appreciation that very much.

Loved seeing your 24 projects for this year. I’ve picked several I’d like to get finished before market hits in March. I know there will be many squirrels. Lol. Looking forward to seeing the behind the couch basket & recliner basket. Isn’t it fun to have baskets full throughout the house?

I loved having a delve into your basket ❤

I very much enjoyed seeing what was in your basket. Your stitching and projects are all so beautiful. You're absolutely right - it's so fun to see what's in another stitcher's baskets. Thank you for another wonderful video.

That was fun! I'm not stitching on anything would be familiar (I don't think). It's called Antique Reindeer in the Forest. It's a monochromatic stitch (my first), and I'm stitching it with the called for color and 14 count Aida, also called for. I love stitching monochromatic! I'm not sure what my next piece will be. I have a few I want to start. Happy to hear you're feeling better!

Great video Shellie! I’m fairly monogamous with my stitching. Right now I’m working on Rosewood Manor Harewood House Sampler with at least 6 more kitted projects but I just can’t make myself bounce around. 🙂

I usually finish a thread, but I love the idea of hanging threads. You know exactly where to pick back up without searching! Brilliant time saver!❤

I so enjoyed your flosstube! I sat and stitched on Anna Morgan 1845 while you shared your inspiring basket treasures. Thanks for keeping me company.❤

Thanks for your inspiration!

I love how you refer to your stitches as old friends - I feel exactly the same way. Thanks for sharing your Heifer board projects with us along with the background on many of them. Until next time, hugs and blessings on your coming week, kind and sweet friend!

Thank you for celebrating us. I started cross stitching a year ago and I'm only stitching on aida.I think they look beautiful. Thank you for all your beautiful words. God bless you ❤your videos.

I had so fun watching your basket reveal. You are so sweet and gracious to me. You had some treasures tucked into Beloved. Lunch soon! ❤

Loved going through your basket with you. Such beautiful treasures. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for keeping me company and sharing all your beautiful projects my friend 😊

Good morning Shellie!! It’s always a pleasure to have you in my home!! Thank you for sharing all of your WIPs!! Thanks to you and Keri I finally made the attempt to stitch on linen. I love it!! It is a little bit pricey for my budget. But I sure am happy with the way the project turned out. Thank you for taking the time to make your Flosstube. You always share such great information!! I truly appreciate you!! ❤

Shellie , I love the way you think, the way your heart goes to the Lord. You set such a good example for all to follow. I am also a Born Again Christen! But when you talk I feel your heart and your caring I wish I could see that with others. Your are great, God bless you. Lynn Tone

I’m having. To deal with shingles not many of my friends do needlework, needlepoint but found cross stitch so that’s mainly what I deal with and like.

Beautiful projects! Lots of great stitching!

Thank you for sharing what’s in your basket. There was quite a lot!! Loved seeing all your beautiful projects. I always like catching up with your videos whilst sitting doing some stitching.

Thank you so much for this beautiful, loving place to visit with you. I love being able to sit and stitch while stitching. I can't wait to see you again.

How fun was this going through your Heifr basket of goodies!! Thank you for all the encouragement and inspiration you gave to the stitching community. Well now I think I might need this Heifr sheet to get started on some of my beautiful patterns I want to stitch and display on my walls. The Lord's Prayer is just one of the many you showed and I want to stitch mine as well as Beloved from Sylvia, I have a good start on this one. Interestingly enough, I also was shown after prayer that Kindness will be my word of the year and Stacy Nash's Bee Kind sampler is so very pretty reminding me of what I want more of in my everyday life! Shellie I am so glad you are feeling much better and will keep you in my prayers to get to complete recovery from that nasty fall you took January 1st. Have a blessed week of stitching what you love my stitchy friend until next floss tube.🥰

What a wonderful flosstube to watch today. Sun is shining but cold. It was so informative and to see all the different project that you are doing. Take care and see you again. 😊❤️🙏

Holy moly! What an inspiration! All those beautiful stitches in that basket! Thank you for explaining the “Heifer” chart - I laughed out loud😂 Can’t wait to see you again!

Shellie, you may have lost one circle of friends, but you have gained a new one in us--your KZread followers. Thank you for all you do.

Loved the sweatshirt today! I grew up in rural northwest Ohio and am a proud alumni of Ohio State and yes, I bleed Scarlet and Gray! I love everything about your videos - you are so easy to watch and listen to! Keep them coming!

Thanks for sharing your basket projects, Shellie. I really enjoyed seeing them and of course I jotted down a couple that I must do. ❤🧵🪡

Another great video! I always have my spreadsheet ready to be "enabled" by something you are stitching on. I loved seeing what was in your basket and I can't wait to see what else you have tucked away! Thank you for sharing!

Those are some really beautiful projects you have going. I totally agree about giving up on things you are not happy with working on. We all have more stash than we’ll ever complete, so might as well ‘stitch what you love’, as Brenda and Laura like to say.❤

I love the story behind your first piece and what a sweet piece to stitch in honor of your friend ❤️I choose what I stitch mainly by memories

30 yrs ago I was a monogamous stitcher but after returning to cross stitching about a year ago and discovering floss tube I have fallen down that rabbit hole of having many WIPS - so many pretty things to stitch that I can't help myself- I made myself a WIPGO board so I will see how that works out for me -happy stitching this year

Darn you! Now I need the quilting bee pattern. 😂 I was trying not to add anything to my list.

Enjoyed diving into your Heifr basket. Looking forward to your other basket dives. Take care and Happy Stitching!

This was so much fun, I enjoyed hearing your stories about your projects. I know the next one will be just as fun. Thanks! Janine

So glad you are on the mend. The HEIFR way to move through projects sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the inspiration and positive message. Another great video!

Love the sweatshirt! And always love spending time watching your videos!

Loved this! Always excited to get notification that you have a new video waiting for us~~~~thank you again!

Just found you and now I don’t feel bad that I have 3 baskets of WIPs !

You have a lot of great projects you will be stitching Shellie.

Enjoyed your basket! I would stitch every single one of your choices… have an awesome week!

Loved seeing your basket of projects; so many pretty things! Thank you for sharing with us. xoxo

This was a fun video!! I loved seeing what was in your basket! You are such an inspiration!! 😊

Love Cosmo aida! So soft and stitches up beautifully. ❤

Such a fun visit and I added a few charts to my wish list!!!!

Thank you sweet friend! I love every minute!

You have lots of beautiful projects! Have fun reaching your goals.

I’m stitching Dwelling Place right now in my rotation and I LOVE it!!

Very cold here in Columbus also

I like the Lord’s Prayer chart

So fun to go thru your basket of stitches. Love your Miss. Kay stitch it will be beautiful. I also have Martha Walmsley kitted & ready to start when her Heffer # is called. It's so hard to wait, I sure hope it's soon! Thank you for the visit to your basket.

I don’t quite understand! Who is going to call the numbers we are to stitch? I’m a set up to do the HEIFR but don’t know where the numbers are coming from??? Please advise.

Miss Kay would be delighted if you got it done and found a new friend along the way. My WIPs are few, so my Heifr board has stuff like Hoop a New, Go rogue and embroider, bust out some silks, pick a wip, try goldwork, try cutwork, do an FFO, start a small, work on a one color project, gimp it up, and stitch a Santa among others. This month i landed on my free space and Remember Me from Teresa Kogut which is in memory of my Dad. I’ve been trying out my scroll rods, but like you just don’t enjoy them. You helped me “remember” it’s okay to change that if I get no joy so thank you! I will try them again with a different stand someday. And you enabler! Beloved and Seven Sheep both jumped on my wishlist. They are oh so pretty! Stay warm!

Fantastic!!!!! Thank you for sharing

When cats lay eggs…..My aunt used to have hens (among other animals on her farm) and of course with that there were barn cats to keep the mice population under control. Anyways - one of the momma cats decided to have her kittens in the side of the hen house where the feed was stored. The hens imprinted on one of the kittens and that kitten started roosting with the hens. I swear if given the chance that cat would have eventually played an egg!

Hi Shellie, I love your flosstube programs. Just check on your Mathilde project- from my view on my television it looks like your AA and BB are in the right places. But following with CC looks like you stitched it incorrectly. Too high. Maybe the fabric was creased and it just looks like your count is off. Please check. Too much work to do. Fix it early on. Let me know. I hope this comment will be a good check for you.
