Hey Sarah and Jenn, Congratulations to you both for your wedding anniversaries.. well done ladies 😊.. its always so lovely to see all of the beautiful stitching and listen to your stories.. Cheers Morena...from Australia 🐨😊
I just found you girls and really enjoyed watching this whole thing. So many beautiful patterns to add to my list! I am a retired elementary school teacher and always loved setting up my classroom and starting the new school year. Now I have much more time for stitching! 😊
Yes, we had those clickers growing up! Jenn, I am also stitching my Flying Lessons on Fiber on a Whim in Plum with a fun orange and green. Love the Nutcracker, my daughter has also danced in for several years, various parts.
Hi Ladies! I am resting Labor Day weekend because we're doing all the things like crazy this weekend. We have a birthday to celebrate and a family day trip to Frankenmuth, MI. Sometime during all this I plan to stitch! Appreciate all you do for Flosstubelandia. 😂 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Awesome video ladies! Sarah all your FFO’s are just beautiful! I’m more of a process stitcher so I have so many FO’s just waiting to be FFO’d! I need to dedicate a day or two or three and get some finishing done! 😅 But I was in the Friendstitch zoom and i have started the main stitch! It is just the cutest! Also good job Jenn with catching up on your round robin! They all look fantastic! And maybe I’ll join y’all on August 16 and owl forest Friday! Have a great week and happy stitching!
I loved meeting you both at Keepsakes last Friday! I hope to join you soon and stitch with you. You two are amazing stitchers - I know I will learn so much! Also, I love my Painted Leaf Co project bags. I scoop them up as soon as they are available!
Enjoyed your video. I chuckled when you talked about visiting The Silver Needle and there was a chart you couldn't resist. I thought to myself wouldn't it be funny if you showed the same chart that I bought earlier this summer while there. And it was. I think the sample of the Bluebird and Bluebells chart is one of the prettiest designs I have seen. I have started on it and the colors are so pretty. I'm planning to stitch the entire sampler.
Dry sockets are the worst!! I always got them despite following the oral surgeon’s instructions to the letter! Hope he gets to feeling better soon! Cecilia Turner is such a sweetheart! I met her last Fall at Acorns and Threads in Portland… she said she remembered me in June when I was at Stitch-Con. I’m not sure that’s true or not, I still love her work!! Absolutely adorable finishes and fantastic haul!! My birthday is August 14!! Have a great weekend and week(s) and I hope to see you soon!!!
Hi Sarah and Jenn. Bummmmmmmmmmmmmmmer no sight of Daisy. I tune in for the dog (LOL). Love everything about your video. Sarah, what great finishes, WIPS, and haul. I need to watch again for all the haul. Jenn don't feel bad about being a slow stitcher because I am one, too. Sorry to hear that you have been doing a lot of frogging. I use two threads to stitch and I want them perfectly crossed. I have slowed down some to concentrate more on my technique. I do not stitch in hand because I learned the stabbing technique on aida. I thought I had more stitchy stuff to talk about but I am drawing a blank. Typical old person. Talk again soon. Sister just arrived.
I have the Flying Lessons chart! I should do the SAL! So many pretty things as usual!! I tried to win the powerball so I could stay home and “add to cart” and stitch but I wasn’t the lucky one! Hope you gave a great school year!
Hi. You guys popped up in my UA-cam feed, and I am so glad I watched. Really like that pistachio green for your Owl sampler. I am not familiar with Blue Flower and really liked the pieces you showed. I've added those to a long list of wish stitches. Thanks for sharing details of cloth and floss. I started on Halloween so I am stitching Lizzie Kate's Halloween Rules. Already had all patterns and called for cloth sitting in a drawer for years. Just needed the floss. Look forward to next video.
Thanks so much again for showing Vintageowllady bags!! And I do sew one (and occasionally two) bags each day--lots of fussy-cutting and matching of fabric patterns takes a good bit of time! The Boo! Baking fabric (Halloween muffins) was found by my cohort tnxstitcher!
All those finishes, Sarah! Impressive and inspiring. I think I have 10 to 20 finishes to FFO. 😮 Yay, Jenn, our round robin is coming along so beautifully. I have a pkg to open from Sarah today. I'll be doing the spooky autumn smalls as my bday start this year I think. And I'll work on moonlight sampler and night walked down for the beginning of the month until my actual bday. Sound good?
Sounds like a plan Maggi! I can’t wait to start the Spooky Smalls! I think I may focus on Moonlight Sampler and Night Walked Down for October instead of doing a bday start, since those were my bday starts the last years.
Love seeing everything and Sara, all your finishes! Wow! How do you join the friendstitch group to get the box? Loved everything in it and love heart in hand and bent creek!
Get a friend like Jenn who somehow knows about every cross stitch event and release, who can let you know when to register for these things, lol! That’s how I do it! 😂😉 Otherwise, I would follow Friendstitch on social media because they’ll most likely post updates there. You could also join the mailing lists for Heart in Hand and Bent Creek.
Sarah, thank you for showing your restart of 100 owls. I have mine started too but have never been "in love" with my fabric choice. So now I am getting some different fabric and will restart and...whew...I'll love it again!!
Such a fun video with so many goodies! The longer the better as far as I’m concerned. Jenn, I hope your son feels better very soon! I’m looking forward to your Blackbird starts. Sarah, you are so creative! Your finishes are all beautiful.❤
I would love to know how you store your supplies, floss, fabrics, and patterns. In terms of your floss, do you purchase new floss for each project, how do you put the floss back into your stash after you finish the project, and generally how do you keep track of all the different kinds of floss you use?
Oh Sarah I am so jealous. Love your finishes! Jenn-here’s praying for your wounded warrior. Dry socket is no fun. Thanks for sharing your time and talents. Sarah-Love the idea to utilize part of a stitch you would otherwise have abandoned. Teachers are the unsung heroes of our nation. We’d be nothing without you. Thanks for hanging in there. Have a wonderful school year. ❤❤❤
Hi Sarah & Jen - Great floss tube! Jen: can you give me the name of the site where you bought your Floss Queen t-shirt please? To Sarah - I downloaded the Owl Forest Embroidery 100 Owls pattern. Just love this. I think you made a wise choice in changing the fabric. It will look gorgeous! Mary M. (Mrs. Zoo’s Mom)
I go back to school on Monday and kids come the following Monday. After the first 2 weeks we will have 4 day weeks. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I can't seem to find Made By Rachel and Punky Pearls on Etsy. Could you please give links for these? Thanks!!
The little clickers! My uncle was a dentist and he refusesdto give out candy so that was one of the things he gave out instead. Thank you for unlocking that memory for me 🥰
My sister and I were at Stitch Con A this year at table 4 and sat with the nicest ladies ever. So we decided to do a round Robin also. Our pattern is called Flosstube Friends but we changed it to Stitchy Friends. There are 6 ladies on the pattern. There were 6 ladies at our table. So we all chose a lady to stitch then we pass our piece off to the next person to stitch their lady on. In the end we will have stitched our own lady 6 times but it’s fun.
This was such a fun ep! I love all of your finishes Sarah! Jenn, good for you for catching up with your friend groups SAL- you’ll feel so much better to have that stitching done. I can’t stand it when things pile up like that, i get cranky and them our fun hobby turns into a chore. 😩 Sarah, I hope your school year starts off really well! Happy stitching to both of you!
Great job on all those finishes!! I know that had to feel great to get so much accomplished 👍 Jenn, I hope your son heals quickly from the surgery. And Sarah, it takes a special person to be a teacher. Thank you and your husband for all you do! Thanks for another great episode ❤
I’m jealous you are going to the Pep Rally. I’ve never been to a retreat, but I thought that would be a good one to come to first. I’m having my fourth surgery in October and had to travel from Rexburg Idaho to Portland, Oregon for 1 and 2 to SLC, Utah. Between money and recovery, this year is out. I’ve got to go soon cause I’m 69 years young. I’ve been married 47 years in November. I love your cross stitches. They are so cute. The hands are awesome. Sarah your pillows are so adorable. I think you have quite an eye for finishing. When I started 35 years ago, we framed everything. Finishing is hard thinking for me. Your 40 counts are so cute. I’ve never done anything over 32. I’m going to start cross stitching on 36 doing pattern Plymouth Rock That’s not the right name, but it is something like that. You guys do an awesome job on your floss tube. Thanks for sharing.
Yay, I’m so excited that our Round Robin is coming along! I thought I had it written down but am not finding it. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a Needle and Flax linen??
I’m not sure why you think it’s okay to give me unsolicited beauty advice. I’m on here to share my stitching, not to have my appearance picked apart by strangers. Please keep your rudeness to yourself. - Sarah
Sarah did you get your haircut? It’s cute. My daughter is getting ready to go back in a couple of weeks. It sounds like you are getting ready also. She teaches fourth grade. Some how I missed about your books. Do you still need a book or two? My grandson who is 13 and has braces, is getting his wisdom teeth out tomorrow. I’ve never heard of young kids like this doing this before.
Hi Lorraine! I actually didn’t get a haircut, but thanks. I teach fourth grade also! Hope your daughter is enjoying her last couple weeks of summer. I have an Amazon wishlist on my Instagram, but it’s absolutely not necessary or expected. I’ve been very fortunate to receive many generous donations. Best of luck to your grandson on his wisdom teeth extraction. They do it so young these days! - Sarah
I tried to send a book but had trouble doing it on Amazon with you and another girl who was in my middle school seventh grade who is now teaching please send how I get to send it to you
LOVE your finishes, Sarah!! 🩷
The Round Robin is beautiful!! 🩷
Beautiful WIPS, ladies!! 🩷
Awesome haul!! 😊
So glad I find your channel, Ladies!! Beautiful works and stunning finishing! ❤❤❤❤
So much fun to see all your wips and stitching 🧵 😊thank you.
Love all the finishes. My favorite kind of floss tube’s.
You guys are so fun! Amazing job on all the finishes! And I absolutely love all the hands you are all creating and sharing 😊

Sorry you missed out on seeing Daisy, Fran! I'll make sure she's in our next video. She's just so cute!
I have the Flying Lessons chart! I should do the SAL! So many pretty things as usual!! I tried to win the powerball so I could stay home and “add to cart” and stitch but I wasn’t the lucky one! Hope you gave a great school year!
Darn that powerball! 😂

Your bags are so pretty! ❤
On the Blackbird pattern you could stitch the bird black and change the other stitching to another color and it would give the blackbird the punch.
That’s a great idea Kris!
Sarah, what an inspiration for finishing. Jenn prayers for your son. I loved all of your stitching. Thanks a bunch! Janine
Congrats for new gma. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 love the new dog with Piper.
Jenn I had my wisdom teeth removed around 15 too. My Dad had dry socket and he said it was miserable. Hope your son heals quickly
All those finishes, Sarah! Impressive and inspiring. I think I have 10 to 20 finishes to FFO. 😮
Yay, Jenn, our round robin is coming along so beautifully. I have a pkg to open from Sarah today.
I'll be doing the spooky autumn smalls as my bday start this year I think. And I'll work on moonlight sampler and night walked down for the beginning of the month until my actual bday. Sound good?

Woohoo! Glad I could encourage you to start it again. It’s such a pretty pattern! 🦉
I did some stitching while watching your video. I also love your manicures. 💅 Do you both go to the same nail salon?
Nope, we have different salons. Thank you!
Wow all the fabulous finishes was so fun to see. Loved seeing your WIPS! 😊❤👏🏻👏🏻
You ladies are wonderful to watch 😊
Such a fun video with so many goodies! The longer the better as far as I’m concerned. Jenn, I hope your son feels better very soon! I’m looking forward to your Blackbird starts. Sarah, you are so creative! Your finishes are all beautiful.❤
I would love to know how you store your supplies, floss, fabrics, and patterns. In terms of your floss, do you purchase new floss for each project, how do you put the floss back into your stash after you finish the project, and generally how do you keep track of all the different kinds of floss you use?
Great questions! We’ll answer in our next Flosstube video!
Can you someday show us how you organize your threads I see them behind you and where did you get the containers thank you
We need those backers for all size hoops please
Right?!?
Oh Sarah I am so jealous. Love your finishes! Jenn-here’s praying for your wounded warrior. Dry socket is no fun. Thanks for sharing your time and talents. Sarah-Love the idea to utilize part of a stitch you would otherwise have abandoned. Teachers are the unsung heroes of our nation. We’d be nothing without you. Thanks for hanging in there.

Thank you Kay! 😊
Love seeing what you have been up to! Beautiful finishing, Sarah! You have a good eye for what goes together! Happy stitching! ❤
Hi Sarah & Jen - Great floss tube! Jen: can you give me the name of the site where you bought your Floss Queen t-shirt please?
To Sarah - I downloaded the Owl Forest Embroidery 100 Owls pattern. Just love this. I think you made a wise choice in changing the fabric. It will look gorgeous! Mary M. (Mrs. Zoo’s Mom)
Thanks Mary! I'll ask Jenn about the Tshirt! - Sarah
❤
Is your ye old crow on 40 ct grampas sleeve? And what are your colours? I love it!!!
I go back to school on Monday and kids come the following Monday. After the first 2 weeks we will have 4 day weeks. It will be interesting to see how it goes. I can't seem to find Made By Rachel and Punky Pearls on Etsy. Could you please give links for these? Thanks!!

Sarah, what is the pattern name of the bee pin cushion that you showed on your first floss tube? I’d love to stitch it!
Not sure the name of the pattern, but it’s one of the Block Party patterns by Hands on Design.
The little clickers! My uncle was a dentist and he refusesdto give out candy so that was one of the things he gave out instead. Thank you for unlocking that memory for me 🥰
We took our girls out trick or treating but then they got a present from us when they gave up their candy. They loved it
what fabric did you use with your first piece by Barbara Anna ? Love it
It was a 40 count linen in the color Egyptian Sand by Mountain Aire fabrics.
Grandpa’s sleeve fabric, who is that by?

You were sitting right next to our table!
Yes…. We were the sisters from MD. Debbie and Kathi

Your finishes are so beautiful and both of you have such beautiful projects going. Thank you for sharing another great stitching update and video.
I’m stitching Ye Old Crowe, and I’m stealing the idea of doing the pumpkin in orange and the leaves in green. I love it!!!
How do you find out about joining Friendstitch?
We've had the question a couple times, so I'm adding it to our list to answer in our next video.
I’m jealous you are going to the Pep Rally. I’ve never been to a retreat, but I thought that would be a good one to come to first.
