Hi Brenda, I just love your Kingdom of Book stitch…it’s amazing! I see you have your SamSarah perpetual calendar behind you, I have all the pieces and parts to complete it, I am so sad that they retired since there were so many of their patterns I wanted, but I am so happy for them. Congratulations on your retirement…you’ll love it! Thanks for sharing your stitching with us, everything is beautiful! Terri Whisler

What a joy to see you so happy and enjoying retirement!! As I was watching and stitching the Crosseyed Cricket Summer…I saw it behind you and got so excited! Your books are so amazing and I love so many of your choices! I’ve got many of the house charts, but only am almost finished with the Santa one and a little on the beautiful barn! Soo look forward to seeing you more often! Hope you have a fabulous summer!!💕

It's great to see you more often. Your older videos were so helpful to me when I began to cross stitch and I have continued to enjoy seeing all you manage to do. Have FUN!

I love that Kingdom of Books and all of the bee patterns! Looking forward to your finish of the books.

Congratulations on your retirement! Going to Stitchcon must've been the perfect way to start. I am captivated by your Books stitch piece. The colors are so rich and they give so much dimension. I just stare every time you show it. Love to see all of your projects and progress on each one.😊

Hi Brenda! It’s always fun to see what you’ve been working on and the more frequent videos is just fine with me! I look forward to hearing about your plans for stitching during the Olympics.

Oh, Brenda, the Kingdom of books is absolutely stunning!

So glad you are enjoying your retirement! It's really fun watching your stitching progress quicker now. Kingdom of books is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see it complete at the end of the year. I went to check out the halloween stitch along and their website was down so I'll check again tomorrow. I love good halloween stitching any time of year! It was funny that you mentioned.You're stitching wall behind you as I was going to leave a comment and ask if you could go over what is hanging there as I really enjoyed the last one you did and got some great pattern inspiration.

So glad to see you had another video posted. You got quite a bit of stitching done! I am stitching on the birdhouse SAL as I watch. I'm actually keeping up with it. It's hard to believe there are only 2 birdhouses left after this month! Keep enjoying your summer and Bear Lake.

Your stitching is utterly fantastic! I am going to stitch the Gnome Olympics also! Happy stitching!
-
The kingdom books colors are amazing! ❤ I started this years ago (enabled by you I am sure!😂) but somehow got myself caught in thinking it was complicated when I started the first book. I think I will chart the book names to be books that have meant something to me over the years.
-
Always great to see what you are stitching 😊
-
Summer is rolling along so fast! I am loving the progress you are making on your wips. I'm doing Christmas 🎄 in July and a challenge for Tour de France in a FB group. I don't know what I'll be doing for the Olympics yet. Love the Sunflower on 46 ct. Your wall is beautiful with the pieces you've put up. Happy stitching!❤
-
Great to see you WIP just beautiful. Your kingdom of Books is inspiring, yet it just go on to stitch list. It is beautiful! Loved the sunflowers too! Happy Retirement! You may be busier than ever but have fun. Looking forward to hearing your news and Olympics

Thank you Brenda! You made my day. I got to see your beautiful work close and for a long time. I think my favorite of all yours is the Netherlands Books. It is so colorful and bright!
-
Thank you for the video. Now that you are retired, you can help me see all of the pieces I want to stitch someday. It is good I have self-control, 😊or I would never get any cross stitch done because I would be buying all of what you have done. I sure love your taste in projects. Thanks for sharing.
