What a treat to meet your mom!!!! Loved seeing her doll quilt!!! Great work!!! Her original stitch is Wonderful!!!! I don't know of anyone that just creates their own design as they go!! Your mom is Amazing!!! What a treasure !!! Thank you soo much for sharing her with us!! I Loved meeting her!!!! 😊❤❤❤ I always look forward to your flosstube!! Much happiness and good health to you in this New Year!! My best!! See you next time!! Sincerely, Barbara S. 😊❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!!!! I can feel your enthusiasm. I appreciate it so much 💕. My mom has always been so super creative and I am thrilled that she is still stitching 🧵
Love, love, loved this video, Susan! What a treat to meet your beautiful mother who is just as charming as you are. The fact that she can use her hands (pain-free!) to stitch and knit is amazing and aspirational. Her cross-stitched firecracker tree piece is so impressive - no chart for that border! How sweet that she revealed she was secretly knitting baby sweaters for future gifting. The scissor information was fascinating. I had no idea about the different kinds of forging and then stamping of metal. I appreciate all of my scissors and will think of the “walking and talking” analogy as I use them. I have fond childhood memories of going to the fabric store with my Mom and watching and listening to the store clerk run the fabric through the measuring device and then cutting the yardage with huge shears. I look forward to this year’s adventure with your 1870s girls. Thank you so much for sharing your creative endeavors and inspiration with all of us. ❤❤❤ A-M
Thank you so much for watching. I have the same memories of hearing the fabric in the fabric store, running through the measuring device and then being chopped before the final cut. Isn’t it funny how things like that stick with us thank you for your lovely comment and I’m so happy that you joined me today, I love all my scissors, but I truly have an appreciation for those that were hand forged
Happy New Year, Susan. Wonderful video. I look forward to all of your exciting plans for 2024. What a joy to meet your lovely mother. It gave me great hope that I still have many years to stitch. Thank you for all you give our community, Susan.
Oh my friend I missed seeing you at Sampler Symposium!!!! I plan to keep stitching as long as I can ! You have MANY years ahead of you and you are so prolific and inspirational ❤️. Here’s to a fantastic 2024. I hope it finds us in the same place. Hugs to you 😍
Always a delight to watch your Flosstube. Myra was so sweet with her firecracker tree❣️I so appreciate all your knowledge and history that you share. Thank you.
Wow - I keep on learning with you Susan! The plan for the backing fabrics on those smalls is something else - it all feels very French and so very tasteful :) happy stitching - love from Wales UK
Ahhh thank you so much. I’m anxious to get started on some stitching!!! I am actually excited about finishing these pieces. Thanks again for joining me.
What a lovely Mom you have. I’m so glad she’s still stitching as it keeps her going. She reminds me of my grandma, who used her hands all the time, stitching, sewing, crocheting, gardening, and so much more. ❤
How cool they brought their sweet quilts to show you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ omg your mom is adorable and awesome! I love love love your quilt. Oh Lordy now I want all these scissors…all of them
It was a delight to meet your mother. She is such an encouragement in how she continues to work with her hands. It’s wonderful that it is her hands that are working. I love that she is designing her own sampler. Her daughter didn’t fall far from the tree. Your flosstubes are a delight. The craftsmanship on those scissors are amazing. Even the simple design is beautiful. Can’t wait to meet the two new girls from 1870’s.
Thank you so much, Mary Ellen. I thought it would be so fun for everyone to see that even at almost 90 you can still handpiece a doll Quilt. I love that she continues to keep her hands busy with knitting, Stitching quilting and anything else that comes her way. Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment.
You are always so delightful to watch and listen to. So genuine and kind ! Your mom is a treasure, good for her that she stitches everyday, you are correct in saying that so many of us can relate !!!
Great video as always. I learn something each time. Oh was a treasure, sharing your mom with us. I just loved the interview. Love seeing what you are working on. Thanks for sharing.
What a wonderful idea to interview your mother and share with us! I was quite surprised that one of your young ladies from 1870 is named Pharaby (or maybe Faraby). This is the first time I have heard that name outside of my genealogical research into my ancestry. I really enjoy that you teach not just our craft but the history behind it. After scrolling back in time on your channel, I found video #30 on color and Susan Greene’s “Wearable Prints” particularly informative. As I am attempting to replicate a sampler stitched in 1790 by my 2nd cousin 6 times removed that is housed at the Charleston Museum, knowing how colors fade may be especially helpful as I try to determine what the original colors might have been. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, research, and passion!
I’ve enjoyed reading your comment. Thank you for letting me know that you find the content. Interesting and helpful. Pharaby is such an interesting name. I have only heard it used a few times so I’m very curious about the person in your ancestry. I’m so delighted to hear that you are seriously considering dies from the time period of your Sampler as you chart. I think it’s wonderful for people to adapt patterns and make them their own but I believe we benefit from knowing the original colors to the best of our ability. Thank you so much for watching and look forward to chatting with you again.
After our chat, I dug back into my family tree research. My “Phariby” was my 4th great-grandmother on my daddy’s maternal side and was older than your young lady as she was born June 3, 1814 and died Dec. 17, 1894 in Washington County, Georgia. Her name was spelled a variety of ways, which I attribute to census takers taking a guess at it. Her son’s death certificate in 1924 even reads Ferrybelle, but I attribute that to a possible nickname and failing memory since that was 30 years after her passing. The 1850 census has Phariby, and her headstone reads Pharbie. I find her gravestone both touching and intriguing as it has a dove at the top and an inscription which reads, “Mother hath done what she could.” Since you said that Contessa was destined to become a lady, but you alluded to a different path for Phariby which sounded foreboding, maybe this inscription symbolically ties your Phariby and mine together. That is even more reason to look forward to meeting your Phariby and her half-sister Contessa and discovering their stories.(@susanstandleystitchintime)
Well done👏👏👏👏. Such a treat to meet your mom and feel the connection of family and appreciation for skills. I am auditioning 9 patch sizes today. I know I am going with my years of red stash and probably off white…. Just not convinced on the block size yet. Keep warm out there🙂⛄️
Loved that interview with your mother. I wish I had thought to record an interview the last time I was with my mom. She had the same history of working in all the mediums. Your mother was an inspiration to get on making firecracker trees...after all they come out fine in the end.
Your videos are a highlight of my floss tube watching - you have so many interesting things to talk about and to share. I can't wait to learn more about this year's projects! And having your mother on the video was really special. I have never known another Myra - my mother's mother's name was Myra!
Oh my goodness I have never known another Myra either! That is so exciting to hear that your mom‘s name was Myra too! thank you so much for watching and for being so supportive. I appreciate your comments greatly.
Wow! I suppose you know what a privilege you have to record your mother. I used to say my mother knew more than Martha Stewart. I said that in front of her and she didn’t deny it. My mother should have had a quilt UA-cam channel.
Oh that such a wonderful tribute to your mom!!!!! We have amazing women who came before us ! I hope we can carry on their legacies. Thank you so very much for watching!
So much wonderful information that you shared that I need to watch again and take notes. Loved the interview with your Mom. What a blessing to have her, and so fun! Thank you for all of this. Still working on Mary's quilt and will definitely finish her.
Hi Susan, I thought I added a comment yesterday but it seems to have disappeared. Apologies if this comes twice. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed catching up with all you are doing and your plans ahead. ❤ I too am stitching 'The needlework panel of a fruit tree and two animals' - I agree the colours are beautiful and it seems to just keep on enticing you to stitch a little more. The fruit adds some really special mixed red pink and ivory tones, my guess initially was I thought they were figs but now my thought is they are pomegranates, the colours and patterns really almost replicate the arils and their surrounding membranes. I also saw one website saying in its fun facts, King Henry VIII was the first to plant one in England. So I guess even though the pomegranate didn't originate from there, they were still there and provided not only a health benefit but also symbolism in art and history and religion. There was another horrible ancient fruit tree but as it had such vile properties I am really hoping it wasn't that one 😅- the Medlar Tree. It was also lovely to listen to your interview with your Mum - something so special to share with us all. The scissors and your permission to us all to have them all made me smile. I inherited all of my Mums scissors, some lovely small ones not so many antique ones but quite a few varieties - its just wonderful to use them knowing she had made many creative things with them as well. Will look forward to your next flosstube and can't wait to see what fruit you think is portrayed in the piece we are working on. I will post an update to my instagram soon @suzilou02. Louise x
Dear Louise Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I enjoyed reading it so very much. I was thrilled to hear that you are Stitching the same project and have had to the same reaction to the colors! I really don’t want to stitch anything else at this moment. I so appreciated your input and discussion about the fruit. I am still considering what it might be, and I’m really enjoying hearing from everybody. I had to look up the terrible tree you were referring to as I had not heard of it before. I am happy to hear you enjoyed meeting my mom. And it warmed my heart to know that you have saved scissors from your mom. Lovely to meet you and I look forward to watching your progress on Fruit Tree with Two Animals!
Hi Susan, I do wonder if the fruit tree stitched in the Scarlet Letter sampler is a crab apple which is native to the UK where I live. I have grown older varieties of apple trees but also enjoy a splendid crab apple tree at the bottom of my current garden and the colours of that fruit are very like those in the sampler. The crab apple has a smaller fruit than an apple but with a longer stalk and is much loved by the wildlife. I am very intrigued to hear what you think. Love the sampler and your floss tube of course! Thank you for all the inspiration and knowledge.
Such a sweet interview with your Mom❣️ Wow! I love your Button Hole Scissors! Great video. Always so interesting!! ❤️ I could not catch the Name and Designer of the pin cushion needlebook. Would you share?
Hi! I am so excited to have you join the stitching fun!!! I had not considered guava but will add it to the list although I am a bit skeptical. This piece was stitched in England and I believe guava is a tropical fruit however you never know! Thank you so much for the additional suggestion and for watching.
OK, thank you so much for your vote. I’m going to make a list of all the ideas I get and see if we can come to some conclusions. Thank you so much for commenting and watching.
Susan your Mom is precious! I didn’t catch the name of the chart you showed in your haul with the mattress finish needlebook that flaps up. Can you please tell me what the name of that chart is? You showed it with the Sarah’s Sewing Bag chart. Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT VIDEO WITH LOTS OF GOODIES OF INSPIRATION. LOVE THE BOOKISH PIN CUSHION. LOOK FORWARD TO THE HISTORY OF THE GIRLS & THEIR WORK. ❎❤️❎❤️❎❤️❎❤️❎❤️❎❤️❎❤️❎

Love, love, loved this video, Susan! What a treat to meet your beautiful mother who is just as charming as you are.

what a joy , your dear mother thank you for sharing such an experience of stitching x so excited for your 1870 plans!!!!
I’m so glad you got to meet her! She was definitely the star of the show💕
This was a great video. Your Mom is a treasure. I have my mother's pinking shears wish I could get them repaired. But will keep them no matter what.
Thank you!!!! it’s hard to find good scissor repair places these days, but I continue to look
Your Mom is precious! You come by it honestly! ❤
Oh so kind of you 😀❤️
