"I think we're going to need a bigger basket" 😊
LOVE ur finishes!!!!! Cant wait to see all the fun new stuff u r going to start! Happy stitching 🐈⬛🪡❤️
Can’t wait to show my FFOs, they are so cute!!
😂😂
Relatable!
Enjoyed your video & looking at your projects. I haven’t used glow in the dark floss before - is it a bit more finicky like Krenik? I am currently enjoying working on autumn stitches - ready to find a cute turkey to stitch next🦃.
Thank you! Yes, the glow in the dark is a little fiddly, it likes to shred at the ends a lot and one ply sometimes gets stuck and just isn’t as smooth as Dmc. I’m planning to start a turkey from Lindy Stitches in November. Let me know what you start! ❤️
Mollie, I love your projects and your stitching. I’m in the Houston area as well - SL. What’s the name of the LNS you found? I look forward to seeing more of your flosstubes.
Yea!! The shop is called And Sew it Began in La Porte. There is a stitching group that meets in Friendswood and one in Midtownish, and one north of Houston too! Thanks for watching!
someone may have already suggested this but there's a flosstuber Stitcherista. She has a lot of videos. In one of them from about 2 years ago is about how she paints perforated paper. The title is Coloring Perforated paper. If you just put perforated paper in the search bar on her channel, it should come up. Good luck
I wish one of our quilt shops would add more cross stitch stuff. How lucky!
I wish everyone had an LNS 30 mins or less form them!!
Hi! 18th century blackbird isn’t a purple, it’s a dark fabric, close to black but not really - it’s hard to describe. Google it to see a pic. Although I think a purple fabric would be fun, too!
Good to know. It’s interesting how sometimes things picture so differently than what they really are.
Hi from the UK. So enjoyed your haul, 15 minutes is a very long time in a cross stitch shop lol🙂
😆😆 I needed more time!! Next time will be better, I won’t be on a time limit.
I struggle with 40 count to and put off those projects as i need to use the freeatanding mag lamp i have, but people say that if you stick to 40 you get used to it, i hope one day thats me as stitching on 40+ looks gorgeous to me. I rather disagree with the process/progress stitching thing, for me i stitch mostly because its calming for me but i love finishing something and having that achievement, but i never framed or finish things into display items, i dont really have the skill, nor am i that fussed to learn. I do mass starts, where i start a bunch of things over a couple of weeks because i stress over starting things, measuring it all up etc, so just having a load of things started makes things so easy for me, but often ill stick to one thing and finish it, even with having maybe 15 things in bags already started. I did get a new pss today that im eager to finish, so may start that on the weekend.
Luci says "meow!" to ur 🐈!!! 😊 Love all the progress u have made on ur wips! I have purposely avoided those tiny towns at allllll costs cuz I'm a completist so know id need to get em all, but seeing how great urs r makes me reeeaaaallllllly want to start collecting them to make a similar type finish! Love how u display yours! I would keep the 👻 with the regular floss. Alltho it'd look neat w the glow in the dark, I know it'd eat me up inside knowing only 1 was glowy, so if it was my project I'd keep it going the way I did the other one. Ur 🎃 🐌 start is too cute! I had gotten the 💀 pattern from stitch crypt at the release, but I want to eventually get the snail, too. Happy stitching 🐈⬛🪡❤️ Happy stitching!
The Tiny towns are adorable! I’m hoping to have my Halloween one finished by filming this Friday! Eek, it could happen, we’ll see, but it’s soooo cute!! You don’t have to do them all or if you do just space it out! But I am team Tiny Town! I’ve also made some good progress on my snail so I’m excited to show that one! Thanks for watching!
light mocha is a standard zweigart color
Good to know, thanks for the info!
Love the update, your stitching is beautiful. I vote stitch the same as first ghost as I know I would not like to have 2 different ones!! 😉
I did use the regular floss and I have a finish for the next video!!
I vote for glow floss! 😊
I really wanted to but I just couldn’t redo the first one. I have a finish for the next video!
The scissor holder is 😍😍😍
Hi. I would go over the one you have stitched in the glow floss to match the new one or highlight the eyes too, awesome projects and floss tube love the content. Have fun stitching.
Good idea, I’ll have to think about that one.
Can you outline them in glow floss?
What is a “sampler”?
I think the definition varies, I think a sampler is something that has a collection of motifs all over it, usually smaller motifs but not always, some say it has to also have an alphabet, I personally call things without an alphabet samplers too. I don’t know if there is an official definition somewhere. 🤷🏻♀️😰❤️
@@molliemcmaker thanks
Welcome, Molly! You've got this! Happy stitching!
Thank you!
Love all your fall stitching! It’s always wonderful when it’s actually cold during fall or winter holidays here. 😂
😆😆 so true!!
I love your trio of Halloween houses! They look so good stitched together. Do you have the total number of stitches for Mary Morgan's? I feel like the only way I can determine how much work anything is is seeing the total stitch count. Even though I can somewhat visualize width x height, I always end up being surprised at how long something actually takes 😅
Well since I’m stitching on her tonight I do have the total stitch count, 30,873!! I’ve done about 11k, making progress!! ❤️❤️
@@molliemcmaker Thank you so much! You've been doing a great job. Looking forward to follow your progress :)
I love your blooper!!! That was the cutest!
😆😆😆
Where do you find stitch a longs. I would love to do something similar
I find them on UA-cam, instagram, and the Facebook groups im in. But I recently found an instagram account that just posts all the stitch alongs, it’s called crossstitch_salendar. I’ve been meaning to mention that account on a flosstube. ❤️❤️
Wow, all ur wips look great!!! The colors on Mary Morgan r stunning!!! I have about 17 wips currently (and more to start on deck lol). I used to be a monogamous stitcher til I fell down the rabbit hole of flosstube😂... I usually only work on 1 project a day; I recently attempted to do the "thread a day" w one of my wips, but I found myself going past that anyway. I'd finish that 1 thread and then I'd say well, there's only about 30 stitches left of that color in this area so lemme just finish that part up, and then I'd end up doing that and thensome...next thing I know I've been stitching on it for some time and now I'm out of time to work on my other plans. And I find it takes extra work to put the 1 project away, and get all set up for the next project, so I've just been working on 1 wip steadily for a few days and when I get bored of that I'll move onto another wip. I want to work on EVERYTHING 😂 but I noticed that when I touch too many things I don't see progress. Yea I may get 150 stitches on each of 3 projects, but it looks like more when I get 450 on 1 project if that makes sense lol. But who knows, 2 weeks from now my whole outlook could change I'm really bad at sticking to original plans I make for myself lolol Happy stitching! 🐈⬛🪡❤️
Same, same I agree with all of that. I love to see progress but watching flosstube can set you off on another direction!! 😆😆 but I love it!!! I have plans to start 4-5 small Halloween projects, we’ll see how well that goes along with all my other big project plans. 😬
Awesome video. Beautiful projects 🙂
Thank you for joining Catherine!
I need to stitch my Philanthropic Pumpkin, before I forget where I have it stashed. Haha my SAL only turn into a buy a long. That is as far as I ever get
Yes do stitch it, it’s so cute!! Cross Stitch the Globe did a video a while back about the most expensive patterns on eBay and that was one of them.
Oh my goodness, I LOVE Philanthropic Pumpkin!!! I have been looking for that pattern EVERYWHERE! No wonder I can’t find it. I will live vicariously through you and get to see it come to life. Maybe one day I can get my hands on that pattern. I stitch on many different things in one session but it really depends on if I’m having trouble with keeping my interest on a project. So, I may pick up a project that I want to get some work on but if I find myself getting bored or frustrated then I will put it down and grab another one. However, if I pick up a project and I’m seriously enjoying myself then I will just work on that one until I pass out. Lol.
I hope you find Philanthropic Pumpkin one day, it is so cute!! I have been doing better on stitching on more than one project a day, we’ll see how long that lasts! 😆😆
And I agree you definitely definitely need the snail!!!
The snail is amazing!!
The hairball fabric!!! It's maybe my favorite of the new fabrics!!
😆🤣😆🤣 I know!!
Besides the first project, the Greenhouse of Oddities is my favorite!!! The greenhouse of oddities is gonna be amazing!
What a lucky friend!!!!!❤❤❤
So many pretty projects. 😍 I love the Mary Morgans.
Thank you, I love the colors in Ms Mary.
Well done on your first flat fold project…you are braver than I am, but I do hope to try one eventually. That is indeed a very cute Hallowe’en quaker! Also, I like to have just one project going at a time!
Thank you! You can totally do a flat fold!! I believe in you!! ❤️❤️
Regarding stitching on multiple projects in one session, I do a mix of things. Sometimes I happily zoom along on one thing. Sometimes I hit a milestone or finish a motif and want to put it down, so I will switch. And sometimes the thing I thought I wanted to work on is bugging me for whatever reason so I will switch to something else. The only must have chart I've seen from the marketplace releases is the Sprouting Lupine design with the wolf. I think it will be a nice companion for The Unicorn's Garden!
I do love Sprouting Lupine too, I finished her Love Bugs pattern earlier this year, it’s so cute!!
Good to see you again. Great stitching
Thank you for joining!!
Love seeing all your beautiful bags. I have been making my own as well, for exactly the same reasons as you say, difference is that I am very much a novice so they are nowhere near as beautiful as yours!! 😂
Thank you so much! My first bags were not that great and they got better and better the more I made. And I really figured out what style I liked and love that I can make the sizes that I needed. Thanks for watching Judith!
Mollie ... Subbed!
Im sure your flat fold will turn out great. On my first flat fold, I followed Vonna’s tutorial.
I hope so!
Your quilts are beautiful. Is this the first time you told your husband to not listen to you? 😀
Thank you! This was the first time he came home while I was filming, I try to film when no one is home for fewer interruptions.
enjoyed the project bags, beautiful. I also quilt, but I hand sew my binding on so I struggle with the vinyl bags. But agree, keep on trying. I use the iron on interfacing, batting that Elizabeth Ann mentioned in her video. it quilts well
Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️
What is the name of your light you showed? Love your video!
Thank you! It’s a daylight company foldi go.
@@molliemcmaker Thank you so much!! I have been looking for a small travel light!
Well done looking forward to number two.
Congratulations on a great first FlossTube. I enjoyed seeing all your project. See you next time
Thank you so much!
❤. Wonderful second video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
❤. Hello! You popped up in me feed. I’m so happy! Wonderful first video! Progress or Process stitcher - I’m a bit of both. I love seeing progress on my WIPs along with the process of picking out the fabric/floss and then the feeling of the floss pulling through the fabric. I hope that makes sense! Onto your second video! ❤
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great video! The bags you make are Beautiful! All of your WIPS are Beautiful as well. I love those deep colors and I'm a huge Fall person too. keep up the good work!
Thank you! I love fall too, I can't wait to get to my fall stitching projects!!
Ok, so what sewing machine do you use? My family took me to a dealer and I told them that I wanted to make bags (for myself and some friends only) and finish some at home projects like fixing clothes and making curtains etc. They put me in a Janome machine that made it through 3 Vinyl front bag before we started having problems. After many many trips to the dealer for troubleshooting, the Janome Tech (who was phoned in) told me that they put me in the wrong machine… I’m so mad. They won’t give me a full refund so I can get the correct machine. It’s a mess. So, I’m trying to see what machine people use who make bags similar to my style.
I have a Janome MC7700 that I bought 12 ish years ago (maybe? I don't really remember how long) and it works pretty well, I do have some trouble sometimes getting through many layers, but I also use my walking foot when sewing bags and that is super helpful, If your machine has a walking foot try that if you haven't already, or consider getting one if your machine doesn't have one if it is something you can add on. If I were to get a new machine, I would probably consider something like the Juki TL2010Q, but this only does straight stitch and nothing else, I know a lot of people who have these and love them.
Yay for so many subs from your first video!
I think it was the WIP parade, those always seem to draw a crowd. :). Thanks for watching.
Congrats on another great video! What gauge vinyl do you use? I’m pretty sure they cut the wrong gauge for me last time so now I’m really paranoid about which gauge to buy next time
I think it is 16 gauge, it’s the one with the yellow paper. I think I also bought one with the pink paper before too. I usually just feel it in the store, there is one that is super thin, I don’t use that one.
