    Of course I'm watching this video! I don't think I've missed a video since I became a patron. I always learn something new or reinforce old learning as I did in today's video. For a long time after your classes in Portland, I wanted you to continue them because you are the BEST needlework teacher. But, actually, now I much prefer the online venue because I can watch the videos anytime, 24/7. Your filming is SO GOOD (thanks Jonathan) and you're still the BEST teacher. `

    I'm glad you liked the photos I sent. I was hoping the photos of things in progress might be useful. The berries were very fun to make but it's difficult to resist cutting out them out before they're all done! I think each berry might have wrapped around a wooden bead to give it shape but I don't remember for sure. If anyone wants to give the mushroom and blackberry design a go, the design is called "Forest Floor" by Kay Dennis. You can find it in Inspirations magazine, issue 104. They also sell the design as a downloadable PDF.

    I am so sorry for the inadvertent thumbs down. In fact I love your piece and was aiming for the reply icon when my tablet slipped. I don't think I can change it. Thank you for sharing your berry design, which I am planning to try, and I enjoy mushrooms and earthy scenes. I'll see about covering a bead, as opposed to stuffing the berry.

I shall, however, be tuning in next week to follow along with your instructions.

Thank you so very much for doing this; what a great way to kick off the new year!!! 💖

I was able to sleep really well last night, so today feels like a much better day. And I'm so grateful to have the creativity of Sarah and all of her followers here to keep my own creative spirit satisfied. I hope you'll be able to work a bit of stumpwork and send an image of your creation to Sarah to feature in next week's video. If not, I'll look for your work in, hopefully, some future showcase. Until then, happy stitching!😀❤

    Thank you very much, Sarah! Your videos are real life lines for me, especially at this difficult time. They are keeping me going, distracting me from the pain, and providing me with invaluable motivational boosts. You are not only contributing to my expanding knowledge of embroidery, but are contributing to improvements in my health. Such a wonderful thing your are doing for me; I hope to be able to express my gratitude more fully once I dig out from under the mound of medical bills. In the meantime, I'm sending my heartfelt thanks! ❤❤❤
