Flosstube #2 - Wip's, a restart and new projects
Wonderful video, and thank you for the mention! Going to join the Facebook group you mentioned now!
Rachel check online, Sarah Millican is in NZ in January 2025 - my daughter and I have tickets booked!
Amazing projects! Absolutely love the bothy mouse. Definitely looked good in the hoop!
Thankyou! i love seeing your projects too
Oh youre so close to finishing your flower w the blue backgroun round wip. Sorry i forgot the name already Beautiful wips😍
Woah so pretty!!
Thankyou!
There is a Christmas ornament swap every year through the nz page, if your interested watch out for the details around October
Oh nice, ill keep a look out!
Missed you being around - so good to catch up. See you in stitchy zoom on a Friday soon? - take care, Nic x
I'll be back after the holidays, it was good to catch up with you too.
Love your embroidery piece -- so delicate! And my favorite color too! :) The Gothic cathedral is SO cool!
Hi Rach - great video again, hey are you signed up for any of the retreats? LH or Christchurch? Be good to see you if you are x take care, Nic x PS isn’t Judy an incredible enabler?! I was ready to offer you my TW chart as the likelihood of me ever stitching that one is slim but glad you got it sorted!
Thankyou! No unfortunately i'm not going to the retreats, i will definately look out for the next ones! And yes Judy is the best enabler!
Heya! Take two on the comment! Yes I've had stitching months like that, and I just go with the flow. Every stitch done is progress made no matter what. Love the progress you've made on your wips; the neverending black on Book of Shadows would be a great one for when you're meeting with friends, just fill in so you don't have to concentrate. Was wondering what fabric you're using for the Tiny Modernist Stitchy Goddess? Such a lovely blue. Also, I didn't know the Patterns Online files worked in Pattern Keeper, would love to know how you got them in please? I'm excited about the TVS Christmas Village. Have the Christmas Tree Etui kitted but need to get this month's challenges done before I start it. I've been wanting that Wrendale kit for a while, but I didn't know that both colour options came in the same kit! I want to do the pink version :D I know what I'll be adding to cart come pay day lol I didn't used to be good about noting down when I stitched something, what it was and who for but now I make sure I record this information. You can even get little stickers that you can stick to the back of your framed stitching to record this information. I agree it's important to record this info. Hope your daughter had a great birthday, she will treasure these cats for a long time :) Have a great stitching month Racheal!
Thanks for taking the time to reply twice lol Yes the black on the book of shadows is a good one for when im meeting up with people for sure! The fabric for tiny modernist is one i dyed myself, it was really simple and i videoed the process on flosstube #3. The patterns online worked in PC stitch, I thought I had corrected this in the video, but it sounds like it didn't work, sorry to get your hopes up!
Great to spend some time with you tonight Racheal, good progress on your projects. Happy birthday to miss 10 and loving the cats. Great idea to add the date and occasion the cats were stitched, it will be good memories for her in the future. I'm excited about the gingerbread house, just sourcing fabric (possibly from Catherine and country stitch) and I will get it started. Love that you have all the heartstring sampling designs, they are pretty awesome. Take care and happy stitching 🌷 🌷 Take care
Thanks for watching, yes im looking forward to starting the heartstring samplings patterns. I sourced my fabric from country stitch, i got the speculaas fabric in opalescent. I'm just waiting for it to arrive to see what its like. I'm looking forward to getting starting too!
Beautiful WIPs.
Thank you! 😊
Hi Rachel, your embroidery is looking lovely and you have a great lot of haul especially that footstool! Do you watch Neat and Knot by the Sea? Victoria is also doing embroidery and hers is gorgeous. Yes I agree everyone is tired and stressed … think its just a sign of the times at the moment with everything that is going on in the world.
Thanks for your video! I look forward to your next update.
That cats bum is my new stitching goal LOL I love it!!!! I have a needle minder that looks like that too lol - take care, see you in a Friday night chat soon! X Nic
Haha i look forward to seeing your stitched cats bum, see you on a friday soon
Hey Racheal! It was great to meet you in person at the Bowerbird meetup last month :D You've made a lot of progress on your wips, and agree it's sometimes hard to recognise just how much. These days I've taken to photographing my progress each day and uploading them so I can see side by side comparisons. Really keeps me motivated. Loooovveee your new stitching chair! What an amazing find :D I've also been umming and aahing about which Chatelaine to stitch. So many amazing choices, but because of the cost investment, I am taking my time to decide. The last thing I want is to get the kit for one and then find I don't like it! Looking forward to seeing which one you choose to do. Have a fantastic stitchy month :D
Thanks Zeb, it was lovely to meet you too. Yes those chatelaines really are something. I have so many other things in the works i'm not in a hurry to choose one so i'm happy just admiring how lovely they all are at the moment. I hope you have a great stitchy month too!
Those cats you've stitched for your daughter are so cute. I think I've been enabled 😂
haha i'm glad to here it! they are pretty cute and so fast to put together too
Lovely to spend some time with you Racheal, you have some great progress. Keep up with your Sal (start along), it doesn't have to be finished at the same time. I'm still stitching on a 2019 Sal, no stress I will finish when I finish. Could you put your families first names in the fox and rabbit design instead of the seasons? Look forward to seeing what chatelaine & Long Dog designs you choose. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷 from Judy
Hey Judy thanks for stopping by. Putting our names in the fox and rabbit piece is an interesting idea i hadn't thought about that. Its exciting thinking about the possible next big projects, i think i enjoy the planning as much as the actual making! Happy stitching to you too
Here’s my channel. I love your channel. I stitched some of those bottles a few years ago. I must show them in my next flosstube.
oh yes please share your bottles! Thanks for watching i appreciate it. I look forward to exploring your videos too.
Hello from Saskatoon (Canada)! I love seeing different projects and different types of embroidery, so I am glad to have come across your channel! I am just barely starting to foray into different types of needlework so I am always looking at new types of projects! Its always nice to find other "smaller" flosstube channels to learn from!!
Thankyou so much for joining me and commenting! Its so exciting when you start exploring embroidery, there is so much to explore and there doesn't seem to be an end to it! I'll be interested to see what you work on in the future
Thanks for being honest and real Rachael, I know it’s not easy to put yourself out in the public space and I wanted to say I really enjoy the content you provide. Also thanks for the tip on how to know if it’s been played with, this will be so helpful and I’m not an embroiderer. But I will be able to utilise it in ‘other areas’ hahaha. Your dye job worked a treat! She’s on my list to do too, maybe I’ll have a crack at dying fabric for it. Take care, Nic x
Haha i'm glad my tip was useful Nic. I;m glad you enjoyed the video. I really enjoyed dyeing my own fabric and already have an idea for my next project. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hello from Matamata. First time watching and I thoroughly every minute of it, so many lively projects and oh my what an amazing haul. Aren’t sales tables just the best. Looking forward to your next video 🙋♀️
Thanks for watching Elizabeth! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, i enjoy rambling on about my projects so its good to know they are appreciated! Yes the haul was pretty amazing, i don't think i'll be needing much for awhile not that that matters really haha!
Lovely to spend some time with you Racheal. Love that you enjoyed your time in Sydney and your haul is amazing. I watched your flosstube while working and I giggled outloud when listening to Alison Cole's comments about playing with it and being stiff or limp, haha very funny. The fabric you dyed for stitch Goddess is adorable, I love it. I definitely need to get back to dyeing some more fabric again. You may have inspired me to do that lol. Appreciate you sharing your own medical ailments causing you to be off work at the moment. We never know what people are going thru and for you to spend time out of your day to record a flosstube is wonderful. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷 look forward to catching up again soon.
Thanks Judy i always appreciate the time you take to comment. Alison's class was full of stories it was a very enjoyable weekend. I had a lot of fun recording this video i'm glad you enjoyed watching it.
@@Thestitchbirdsnest I always like to express my thoughts of the flosstube I watch so you get feedback. I know the time and effort it takes to make the video's so feedback is appreciated. Can't wait to hear more about the weekend. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷
Lovely to spend some time with you Racheal. You have some great projects on the go, love the colour choice for the 2022 SAL. Look forward to seeing your progress on the goddess and the love rain project. I have never heard of the cottage garden thread project, you have done an awesome job. Look forward to catching up again soon and also at stitch tui. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌹
Thanks Judy, I'm enjoying sharing all my projects. Its always great to catch up. See you soon on zoom.
I see each of the bottle designs just like little frames in a bottle shape. Cool quilt program to have ongoing surprises and a big finish at the end. Thanks for the video.
Yes I agree they are like frames. I have enjoyed the quilt program. I will be far too afraid to put the quilt on my bed until the kids are well grown and then only for display. It is really beautiful.
Hi Rachel, loved your field album! Man I wish I could do Stitch Tui, not for any classes cos I am rubbish at those but to sit and stitch with you and Judy for days would be awesome! - take care, have a fab time in Sydney - Nic x
Thanks Nic! It would be great to stitch with you too! Maybe we need a zoomers retreat weekend sometime 🤔
Good to meet you Rachel😃. The wonderful Judy sent me over. I look forward to your next video. Take care🤗🇬🇧
THankyou for visiting!
Hi Rachel. I loved your video and seeing your projects. So happy that you told us about that Etoile thread. I think I will leave it alone. ❤
It really is a challenge ! thanks for visiting!
Great first flosstube. I look forward to your progress on the temperature chart as love those colours (and to hear how you get on using that thread!).
Hi Rachel! It was awesome to see all your projects, I’ve really enjoyed our Friday night zoom chats with Judy the Enabler LOL and I look forward to following your floss tube too :) - take care, Nic x
Fabulous first video and hello from a fellow kiwi. Excited to follow your progress on your wips and keen to see your embroidery too as this is something I want to start getting into as well. Do you have Instagram? Would love to follow you there as well. Have a great stitchy time and looking forward to your next video.
Thankyou! I'm not set up on instagram properly yet but will let you know!
Great job! Looking forward to seeing more!!!
Thanks i look forward to sharing more!
Congrats Rachel. Well done. Looking forward to seeing your progress on those WIPs.
Thanks i look forward to sharing my progress!
Thank you so much for sharing your time with me on your first flosstube, congratulations you have done so well. I love that you have stored one project in a gorgeous tin. The stained glass temperature pattern is beautiful, may need to search for that and add it to my stash. The colours are gorgeous. It felt like we were sitting, chatting and stitching together. Great job. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷
Thankyou! It did feel like a sit and a chat for me too!
