«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 303 of 303I enjoy stitching things for my Grandchildren. It may be something simple like a pillowcase or something more elaborate like a rag doll. When I have thread and needle in hand, it just makes my heart soar with happiness.
A warm cup of tea, my needle and thread and the stress melts away. This is what I do to find relief at the end of a stress filled day
I learned to stitch from my Mother who put things like Mary and her lamb on a flared skirt, white stitching on green fabric! Or a kitten on my pocket to match the ones on the skirt. With a mother like that, I wanted to do just as she did - and she showed me. Many years have gone by, and now I'm back to stitching old kitchen appliances in red work on feedsack towels and have a large stack collected, including yours, to work through. I love it!
Olá! Sou a Eva, do Brasil, e fiel seguidora de seu blog há anos, pois amo bordar e amo seus bordados, transmitem paz, tão importante em nossos dias.....
Bordar é deixar uma herança que o tempo não pode apagar, transmite nosso amor.

WOW! 2000 followers....no wonder, your things are lovely. I have rekindled my love for regular embroidery. I used to do it all the time as a child. When I married, I started doing counted cross stitch exclusively. Now, I find it a bit tedious, so i am back to regular embroidery and I am loving it. Right now, I am working on Betsy's Closet in stitches. Can't wait to finish it!
Hi Jenny
I love all sorts of stitching but especially inspirational sayings with flowers to give as gifts. I especially love it because my mum (76) my daughter (27)and me (56)all stitch together and create not only beautiful items but beautiful memories of being together. Now we plan to teach my new granddaughter (3 mths)the joy of stitching when she is old enough and God willing there will be 4 generations stitching together.
I love stitching as a way to leave my creative art for future generations. Thanks for the chance to win your lovely pattern.
Congratulations Jenny, I love stitching because it is so relaxing and it seem that a little bit of me goes in to every stitch. It is lovely when a project is finished it makes me smile to see it. Thanks for this chance to win.
I love to stitch anything I can incorporate into a quilt because I get to blend my two favorite things, hand and machine work, into one unique project.
how on earth can you doubt it dear Jen??? You are fab fab fab and I can vouch for it! ;) I think the best thing about stitching is you can get together with your friends with all the best intentions and get such inspiration, maybe nothing done at all, but at the end of it, feel like you've accomplished heaps!....it's about connecting with others, creating something personal, it's LOVE! Love ya sweet girl.....congratulations....and never doubt your fabularity!!!!
xoxox big sweet sugary hugs
Wendy :O)
Sweet Jen, how could you ever doubt it? You're fab fab fab, and I'm in the know!!!! ;)
The best thing about stitching is that you can do it with a friend, get absolutely nothing done, but be so inspired and rejuvenated, you feel like you've accomplished heaps!....when you stitch alone, there's still the connection.... so personal but such thought for another......just love how it makes you feel when you've made something for someone else and made them smile!
Congratulations sweet girl....never doubt your fabularity!!!! xoxo Love ya
sugary sweet hugs and kisses
Wendy :O)
I like to stitch because I can create something that never existed before and something that can't be reproduced exactly the same ever. It's unique. Plus it's so relaxing and long after I'm gone, it will still exist and someone else will love it as much as I loved making it. I'd love to win an advance pattern. Thanks for the opportunity.
Congratulations on 2000 followers! I love your new Shabby Roses design. I am about to spend 6 weeks on leave after a major operation next week, would love to have that design to stitch while recuperating, then I could give it to my daughter for christmas.

Congratulations on reaching 2000. What I enjoy most is being able to sit quietly and relaxing while creating something that will make the one I give it to happy.
My favorite thing about stitching is that it forces me to sit down and relax. Without it, I wouldn't ever stop (the family has me going constantly).
Jenny,
Congrats on the big "2000"
Stitching is portable,
calming,
hopefully will be heirlooms, inexpensive,colorful,simple,
and relaxing.
Please count me in. Even if I don't win, can't wait til the pattern comes out. Leslie
I have always loved counted cross-stitch, but recently have been doing embroidery that I find on blogs like yours! Thank you and congratulations on reaching over 2000 followers!
While I get enjoyment out of every step of the process, my biggest satisfaction is see the finished project. Flowers, butterflies, and hearts are my favorite motifs. soparkaveataoldotcom
Jenny I have followed you for quite some time.I have always loved your stitching and shabbiness.I looked forward to your shabby patterns in the last few years when I had not much to look forward to .we are in Real Estate and I had trouble with my health and was trying to get disability.I finally won that.To sit ans stitch your patterns was a great way to forget my problems .I also got a baby Shih Tzu to keep me company and keep my mind off my problems. But stitching is so soothing and your patterns are so delightful You have put a smile on my face each month when i see the new pattern you have given us Congratulations Jenny On your 2000 followers. I love you !!!!I have talked about you on my blog several times. I hope it get s you new followers!!!!!
I love the feel of the thread when I am doing embroidery or cross stitch. The finished product always makes me smile especially with all the beautiful colors that are available. Congratulations on your 2000 followers and thanks for including me in your giveaway.
My favorite area is... anything and everything which makes a home; gathering from nature's basket, toting it's bounty into every room... from the colors of seasons change, the thunderous, threatening clouds of a spring storm, or the glisten of full moon across first frost, even the fuss of a Chickadee, who peers in at me announcing his presence. I design the simple into special, if not on paper, always in mind's eye, creating with thread and needle, paint, (from fine art to faux), write, cook, grow and preserve, picking through the past for inspiration to refurbish and/or embellish, incorporating the past with the present utilizing every medium known to me. Knitting is my solace when "other" things intrude; embroidery, crochet, beading… well, I love all handwork! Embracing country life, the silence of the Woods, the smell of basil rustling in morning's first breath, and above all, I love sharing the gifts of which I am so blessed with those whom I love.
Soon to be retired and completely beside myself with excitement, finally, after such long years of "life", the time has come for "ME"! The time for me to do all the things I love, to share, explore and experience, to learn anew, to paint, design, author, arrange and rearrange, to love in tranquility, and to savor every minute my Lord and God has reserved in my name. And... I want CHICKENS!
Wow awesome numbers. I enjoy handle sewing for the grands. Right now it is Christmas ornaments for each. I am doing a monthly applique, also. I love red work and will start silhouettes for each grand. I did silhouettes of older three in '96. I think it is time. Thanks for giveaway. Your stuff/patterns are awesome.
WOW!!! What an amazing accomplishement!! 2,000!!! Isn't is wonderful how God shows us through these type of gifts how much He loves us and agrees with the path we are on?? What an amazing and wonderful God we have!!
You asked us to answer about "what we most enjoy stitching and why". The first thing that came to my mind was all the mending that I do for my family. They come with their tears, or buttons that need replacing, or girl and boy scout patches that need sewing on. They never just drop them off. They always sit and visit over tea with me as I sew them up.
I love embroidering and making many little gifties for my family and dear friends. But it really is the stitching while visiting that means the most to me. Thank you for bringing that time to the front of my mind in such a positive and loving manner. Again, God is so good.
Best of wishes to you!

At the minute I am loving stitching tiny hexagons for bags and pincushions. I also love to embroider samplers for babies and weddings. Thanks for the gorgeous giveaway.

Congratulations!!!! I can't even imagine 2000 followers. I love your designs. I enjoy stitching something I will give away to someone. I choose the pattern and finishing just for the recipient. May you gain many more followers.
What I love most about anything sewing related is that when my mind is going a thousand miles an hour stitching calms me, slows me down and lets me get to the answer when I didn't even know there was a question. Shabby Roses was so good I'm working on a second one and the embroidery will make an excellent addition to my stack of Elefantz projects both finished and WIP.
Congratulations on 2000 followers. I am so glad I found your blog. You have been an inspiration in my life. I used to do counted cross-stitch and love the perfection and consistancy in that medium. Now I do mostly regular embroidery. Mostly backstitch, small corners on tea towels or small frameables that have inspirational sayings or themes. It's a time to be still and quiet and be with my husband in the same room, while he watches sports or movie on the TV.
Congratulations on 2000 followers. I enjoy all sewing and love making things for family, especially the babies.
Congratulations Jenny, over 2000 followers! I like stitching your little, beautiful patterns.I love emboidery since years. I'm stitching a crossstich sampler now and I enjoy it really. I like your new pattern(s)!
What a wonderfull talent you have.
Love, Anneke
Congratulations Jenny. I love stitching pillows. It is so relaxing to just sit and let your mind wander while doing something that will look beautiful when finished.
Dear Jenny, congratulations with all the followers! Thanks for the nice patterns, I love them.
I love embroidery, as much as can be, since I was a little girl.
Especially sticherie and cross-stich.
Thank you for receiving your newsletter.
With love, Anneke
Sorry Jenny, now there are two reactions of mine, please do the last one away, Anneke

Congratulations and well done Jenny.

I enjoy stitching most anything as long as I have a needle in my hand. I love to hand blanket stitch quilt patterns to backgrounds and love to add whimsical embroidery to the bonnets of the Sunbonnet Sues. My grannny Ida always had a needle or crochet hook in her hand and I am glad that I am continuing her tradition. My oldest sister crochets and knits, I knit, quilt, and stitch, and our baby sister can quilt but she doesn't like to so she just watches us and begs for what we make. lol
I enjoying adding little bits of stitching just to give a piece a little extra something

I love doing stitcheries as the verses are beautiful and often convey the most meaningful message. A stitchery on hand means I can stitch no matter how busy - even just 5 minutes makes me happy. And lastly, it is often in the company of good friends - and there is nothing that can beat that. Thankyou for the competition and your kindness Jenny.
I am so thrilled that you are creating a stitchery of your quilt - can't wait. Your designs are wonderful and I am not surprised you have so many followers.
congratulations on 2000 blog posts Jenny i really enjoy reading it.

I love to stitch flowers and gardens. I love to watch the blank canvas transform bit by bit.

I love stitching flowers. All of the different colors and shapes dance in my mind and I can't wait to get them stitched to see how beautiful they become from a blank fabric. I love flowers the most because there are so many shapes and endless stitches to make them pop with color. Thank you so much for sharing your beauties.

Dear Jenny, I can't tell you that I most enjoy stitching this or that because I love stitiching anything that has meaning to me. For instance your patterns which are romantic and really beautiful! They inspire me!!
Love, Andrea.
I've luved your stitcheries from almost the beginning. The first shabby roses quilt was simply awesome. I would love to do the smaller version. Your little peeks of the one you are doing are very inspiring. Good luck in this new venture of yours. Crossing my fingers that my name will be drawn.
Thanks so much.
Greetings from West Virginia, USA, Jenny....it's been so wonderful receiving issues of your magazine these last few months. I am so thankful I found you early enough to enjoy your lovely designs. Right now I enjoy stitching baby motifs...I am a new, first-time grandmother of a beautiful, blue-eyed, blonde baby boy...but will be a second-time gammie in February 2013! So it looks like baby things will be what I'm working on for a while. Blessings! kathy
Jenny....Congrats on 2000 followers, your blog is a wonderful place to visit and I really enjoy your designs...I have been stitching a long time and can't imagine life without it....it calms me, keeps me in a state of peace and thankfulness, allows me to express myself while also giving me quality time with my family and my kitty cat buddies...a tremendous blessing....thanks for all you do and graciously sharing it with all of us.....Blessings to you and yours this Christmas and in the new year..
I thought I had already posted a comment but can't see it so I'll try again. Sorry if I double up.
First off - Congrats! I love your blog and your work!!!. I love embroidery too and started when I was in grade school (a few years ago - LOL). Mostly I embroider quilt blocks and find it so relaxing in the evenings while watching TV. Got to keep those hands busy! Thanks for the chance to win one of your patterns. I'll keep my fingers crossed. JoAnn in South Dakota
Congratulations, Jenny!
I used to do crewel embroidery, ribbon embroider, I love to crochet, and I love doing small embroideries for pillows or to be framed. Stitching just calms my heart!
Looking forward to seeing what is next in store for you!
Congrats on a wonderful achievement. I stitch because it makes me happy (and also keeps my fingers out of the cookies). Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity on a wonderful draw
bonnielarson58@gmail.com
Hi Jenny, I just enjoy stitching, scenes, anything pleasant to look at. I like seeing things come to life with thread and now also i like stitching words. Words occupy a different spot in my head. Thanks
I like to stitch because it's soothing to the soul. Beautiful things come from those stitches as a bonus, too. Congrats on all of you accomplishments!
"What do you most enjoy stitching, and why?"
I enjoy the handwork itself, and to see the stitches come together and make something beautiful. There is just something about embroidery that makes me feel good. It is creating something with fabric and thread that seems to turn out beautifully.
Love you stuff and would love to win. Congrats!
Enjoy all types of embroidery with the latest being Redwork...never tire of watching the colored thread appear on the cloth as the needle goes in and out...could describe many items embroidered by hand the last 70 years.
2000 Followers! Wow! That's almost as many people who live in my town! I enjoy the peace stitching brings to my life, and love stitching whimsical designs that I can display around my home.

Hi Jenny, I love your post along with the 1999 others who follow it regularly! Though I do like to piece quilts on a machine, I enjoy handwork, mostly applique or embroidery, more than any other kind of stitching. As I see stitches come together to form the design, I get excited. It is also the most relaxing and unwinding therapy I could ever have.
my grandmother were my teachers for stitching! as I lost my mother very young (5) but they each instilled the LOVE of hand made, which I in turn am trying to do. THANKS for all the beautiful stitcheries
I like to embroidery almost every thing what I dont like is cross stich Dee IN Idaho
Congratulations! But I am not a bit surprised dear one!! I love stitching most anything. More times than not it becomes prayer time for me. I can never get too much of that.
Sending you hugs, Terri
I have only recently gotten back into embroidery. I did a few pieces in the 70's. I think they were called crewel? I did cross stitch in the 80's and 90's but my eyes have aged to a point that counting the little squares is too hard.
I've done a few random things such as faces on dolls and things like that since then. I'm an avid quilter and have seen lots of pretty quilts with embroidery so I hope that's where I'm headed.
