Greetings, Sarah, from Mike in Asheville, North Carolina. I have watched and profited from nearly all your videos, and never commented before, but this has to be the most helpful of all: I'm a perfectionist, tend to overthink, and get stymied easily; doing what you suggest here is going to be so freeing for me! I'm profoundly grateful. I wonder if you realize how much joy you bring to all of us around the world.

Thank you for diverting my mind for a little bit from the horrific current events.

I have tremors from multiple sclerosis & had to stop embroidery & cross stitch. This gives me a way to get back to it while not worrying about a shaky hand. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve enjoyed your videos for years. Your examples have always been so helpful & your projects are inspiring. Have a beautiful day.

Absolutely love it! We’re camping and there’s no television and spotty WiFi at best. So, I’m going to enjoy doing this free flowing stitching to relax and be mindful!

This is incredibly beautiful. This type of work would make gorgeous hair barrettes.

Sarah, you never fail to inspire me. I have so much leftover STUFF. I don't want to make it feel sad or unwanted by tossing it out. Now it must feel hopeful, thinking it might be part of the most beautiful piece yet. Or it might just give a few hours of relaxation and enjoyment. I love happy endings.

I think I would enjoy doing this instead of those mindful colouring books. It looks like s lot of fun.

I love this video and want to do some playful stitching. It doesn’t have to BE anything, except fun. I’m all in. Thanks for the videos. My blood pressure goes down when I listen to you and watch you stitching.

Satin stitch -- you know there's all sorts of rules -- We're gonna throw all of them out the window. Too much fun. Thanks.

Thanks!

Thank you so much Sarah! I’m still a beginner and my worst trait is overthinking everything before I even thread a needle! I’m certainly going to take your advice and try this. As always, your encouragement and explanations are fantastic. ❤

These are so beautiful. I’ve picked hand embroidery back up after years of doing all different types of stitching. I am so hooked on hand embroidery and been doing it every day for the last year. It’s become an obsession. Thank you for sharing this so much fun. ❤

I love your colonial knot! They seem to turn out so much better than the French knot, for me anyway.

Beautiful reminder of the joy in simply stitching! I’ve been stitching for over 45 years and still find so much comfort in the rhythm of needle and thread. I just uploaded a cozy stitch-with-me where I made a Christmas nest, and it was pure joy. New subscriber here—it’s lovely to connect with you!

That was so much fun to watch and has even enticed me to give it a go at some point!

@dawnenright5014 8 months ago

I've just watched this again. Thankyou. Your efforts are inspiring and makes me want to get out my needles and threads straight away.

Thank you so much for your calm manner and permission to stitch; this is so peaceful and positive. From Minnesota.

@AndreaAndres-wl9rf 1 year ago

So enjoyed the video. I’m going to set aside some dedicated time to do this. Much needed distressing at the moment.
