Stitch With Me #48: Cross-Stitching The Reaper Pattern

There is a fascination about this piece...creepy! If I was stitching this, I might have to put numbers on the grid squares and match them on the pattern, just to keep track. Looking forward to more stitching progress...thanks!

I'm glad you gave Reaper some love! I really like that it just did not want to be loved though! Have a great weekend Jules

You are not the last one Jules, I do not watch Game of Thrones and have no interest in doing so. When I do watch TV I knit so I can watch the show at the same time and get things done lol. I seem to spend the rest of my time cooking loving on puppies and stitching LOL.

Really like the grind stuff too. Does this have blended threads? My Mason Jar Line up has a ton of blended threads and it really gives a lot of definition I think is really pretty. I wear cheaters (reading glasses) I have a pair in every room I do close work in. I bought some online which is the best pair and then went to the dollar tree and bought other ones the strongest strength. I like them all.

I cross stitch color by color

Hi Jules! Go watch a good hockey 🏒 game followed up by a football game and everything will be all right! I sometimes will get that way where I start to stitch on something and it just doesn’t feel right! I switch projects and it feels better!

This year my son and I bought 1/2 season tickets in the nosebleed section for the Sharks. We got the second half set of games so that it includes the game for my son’s birthday and a crack at buying All Star game tickets too. It is going to be a great hockey year.


You have some big big projects going on! I’m excited to watch you start from the beginning on one and follow the progress. Lol but thanks to this video I’m now humming Christmas songs. 😂 Have a great week! Until next time! Go Sharks! Lol

Hi Jules! Been missing your videos lately due to work... So lovely to see your progress and thank you for sharing and whats happening in your life. Take care too..

Great stitching with you. I worked on a beast of a linen Halloween project. I don’t like linen but someone gifted it to me partially started and now it’s a personal challenge for me. Won’t be finishing it this year though. I really like Game of Thrones - it’s so weird and the end of season 7 was just crazy. Thanks for sharing your stitching and have a great week!

If new project is 9 foot are you going to use frame rather than hoop cause damn that’s a lot of fabric

Grays on all your progresses. It is always such a great feeling to see things moving forward. :)

I love how much you appreciate food! It is my favorite thing to spend my pay check on, next to stitching supplies!

Yay for Grinding- I understood that reference- my wonderful Husband is a gamer, and once upon a time several years ago, I played Skyrim (for a while) and he would grind for me on my character.
You're songs and accents make your videos so fun and remind me of how Henry and I are in our life as well. Hope you have a great week!

I also do not watch Game of Thrones. I’ve never had an interest in it. Hmm never thought about trying a hamburger in the instant pot before! May give this a try. Do you know how long they take?

I have not watched Game of Thrones, but I have read the first three books. I am finding the 4th book really hard to get in to.

Hi Jules. I haven't had time to watch but I'll try to catch up. Love your progress.

There are just some days when a project just doesn’t play nice. It was still nice spending time with you while stitching. Looking forward to seeing what ever you start next with one of your new fabrics

Yay for visiting the stitchy shop! Our microwave recently gave out, too...thankfully a family in our congregation moved to a new house this summer and got a new microwave...and held on to their old one. A few hours after mom posted about the microwave on Facebook, there was a knock on the door and there was the dad and the 3 middle kids (the cutest girls!) there with microwave in hand! 0:-) We've been pretty rainy...and cold! Been in the 40s for days...now we're in the 30s (no rain, so maybe it will warm up a little bit more). Heat not on yet in my apartment building (been told the boiler should be turned on tonight), so been stitching under a blanket and my warm stitchy light! Never watched GoT...I am sure I never will. So, you're not the last! :P That's a nasty snag :( It usually takes me a while to fall asleep...and I often have to have something to listen to to help my brain shut off :P Never think of James Corden as a late night show host...I always think of him as Craig, father of Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All :P (I am such a Whovian!) I follow some channels like that for Tolkien's legendarium! It It took me a second, but I totally LOL'ed :P Killer about not catching the thread tails! Have you tried the loop method for when you are doing 2 strands of the same color? That's the method I generally use (except for the obvious times it won't work (like blended threads and single threads). I do have to admit, there are times when I'm using the loop method when I somehow mess up and uncatch my loop...it's the oddest thing! Then I just have to go back and catch it. Hate it when I'm not sure if I'm on the right row (and I have had to frog because I have messed up on rows before). It being a haunted project really fits! Good luck! :P Congrats on the great progress! And hopefully the project calls to you later...hate it myself when I try to force myself to work on something that I'm just not feeling! Have a great stitchy week!

I feel ya on items giving out at home!!!! Two questions.....how is your stitchy wall doing? We don’t see it anymore. How much is a reasonable price to pay for Aida?

With all your huge projects you may want to invite us over to each take a corner, middle, end or whatever part we can get too😂

So happy you show your knots too and a way to deal with them.. I like to keep my backs as neat as possible as my grandmother taught me to do. I just can't break that habit.
