Nicola I was just floored by the video of the weekend. Honestly I teared up twice listening to the thought all of you put into it. The little dragonfly from Sue and why it was chosen was so very touching. Thanks to all of you for keeping the fires burning in the hearts of stitchers all over the world.
Was a fabulous weekend totally blown away by it all. Also loved my red box everything in it was amazing and very quick delivery of Martha ordered my first 100.3 as I think she's that special ❤❤ . Thank you all so much for all your hardwork role on 2025 hx
What an amazing heartfelt weekend! Thank you for sharing with all of us that couldn’t attend. I am so grateful that I am signed up for the Great British Sampler Weekend Comes to America! If it is even half of what was accomplished in the UK, I will be thrilled! Here is to a year of anticipation! 😊
I purchased Florence Law last weekend and realized only when I got in the car that what I had was a Nicola Parkman piece(brand brand new stitcher after a decades long hiatus from needlework of any kind hiatus) ! I was excited because I had been watching your videos for the last two weeks but had somehow managed to not watch a video where a booklet was shown so I didn’t make the connection except through an instant visual and heart attachment when in store at the Attic! I know it’s a big leap from a single color small sampler to this one but I just had to have it and so purchased it immediately after watching today. If it takes me a long time to accomplish it, so be it. I’m just thrilled to bring this stunning piece into our home. All the best, Nicola! I hope I have enough time left to accomplish as many of your pieces as I can! I love every single one, truly truly. one day I will be brave enough for a Queen of the May Off to finish basting my linen(Legacy Russian Tea Cake with Gloriana Schoolhouse Red) to start Florence! Nervous!!
Martha is amazing and I'm so thankful to have procured the booklet as ALL the kits were sold out!! I so appreciated all the information and the beautiful tour of the GBS room. My husband's health doesn't allow me to get away, and recaps of the joy of retreats always warms my heart. It's the next best thing to being there. Happy stitching!
Wonderful video! Loved the sneak peek video of the Great British sampler weekend. Lots of goodies. Loved the colorful project bag with the floss keep. Would love to get my hands on it.
Sending Sandra wishes for a speedy and complete recovery! When I saw Martha out on the socials yesterday I looked at it and said “wow.” As the day progressed I kept going back to look at it and then finally I threw caution to the wind and bought it. I don’t tend to stitch large things and I’ve only done one reproduction sampler but I just couldn’t get the bird out of my head. I told one of my stitch friends and she remarked “it’s because of the colors. You like pinks.” And it’s true! I’m looking forward to getting it.
Thank you Mrs Parkman for this wonderful video. It was a great pleasure to can listen to you speaking about your different creations. Your new sampler is just gorgeous and I ordered the booklet. I hope Sandra recovers very quickly her good health. She is in all our prayers 🙏
Thank you for sharing the Great British Sampler weekend with us. What a magnificent event it was! Another beautiful sampler offering, too. Praying for rest and healing for Ms. Sandra. Hugs to you!
Wonderful video to see this morning! I’ve placed my order for the beautiful Martha Walmsley sampler from Hobby House Needleworks. I’m looking forward to meeting you at HobbyHouse Needleworks at the retreat in November. Thank you for including a sneak peek video of the Great British Sampler Weekend. It must have been a wonderful time for everyone who came there. So many pretties!
Your new sampler is lovely. I'm so glad that Great British weekend went so well. It's apparent from the video how much thought and care you and your colleagues put into the event. Wishing Sandra a speedy recovery. Take care, and happy stitching, Arleen
Another wonderful video and I love the New sampler. Could you provide contact information for the ladies that have the organization teaching children about needlework in the States? I’m very interested in that endeavor. Thank you for all the great information you shared.
Amazing GBS weekend (it sounds a bit like George Bernard Shaw!), so well organized and beautifully done. I love all the care you and your colleagues put in preparing the weekend and liked to see all the goodies you had there. I hope to come next time! Thank you Nicola!!!
I said Don’t watch Patti!!! Lol but I just knew this was made for me. No one loves roses more than I. I envy that symposium. Would’ve been a life experience for sure. My husbands family lived in Swindon a while and I hate I never we to Bristol and see the museum.
What a lovely event you all put on. Such attention to detail! I thought your pop bottles were so cute. I live in the Midwest of the US and we call it pop here too. Thank you again for another great video.
My box arrived in New Hampshire USA today! My husband bought it for me as a Christmas gift and I won't be opening it until Christmas Eve. I hope to go through it and start a sampler that evening! I'm planning to order some linen but am wondering if anyone would tell me whether thread is included in the box? I don't want to watch the unboxing video that Nicola is planning because I want to be surprised, but am wondering if Nicola has included a favorite hue or two? Nicola -- I loved the tour from the Sampler weekend. Clearly, it was well planned and lots of love went into it! Here's to 2024!
I am in the UK and wondered where I could buy the printed fabric's Sarah Fletcher and Alice Tippet, etc. I don't know where to look for these goods, please. Michelle was showing them. Many thanks xx
Hello - in a week or so they will be listed on the Hands Across the Sea Samplers website. If you watch my weekly Flosstube I will announce when. Thank you for your interest xxxx
Thank you for sharing the video from the workshop, it was wonderful to see all the things on sale at the event. You mentioned someone named Cheryl who made the bags, but not a company name? Is there a company name and/or website for the project bag maker?
Thank you for sharing the beautiful new sampler & all the loveliness of the retreat! All of it absolutely amazing!!!

Wow. So great to have such an event in the UK. I have to seriously think about it as it is just 3.5hours away by airplane.
Congratulations on your 4,000 subscribers lovely episode as usual. I love all the creepy crawlies in the garden but the ladybird is my favorite
That would be a shopper's paradise. Sounds like a great weekend.
This looks like it was an amazing event!
Thank you for the wonderful birthday present! My birthday is November 1, so I gifted myself Martha.

Hope Sandra is doing better.
Loved the tag on video from the Weekend. Wish I could have been there!
Wow. Amazing how many tables. I love all the touches- fish & chip boxes, etc. The team is so creative. Love it.
Amazing!
Hello from California! What beauties you have on display at the event. I wish I could attend but alas.
Hello! Where can we buy these beautiful pins please? I'm from UK
Thank you. You can buy these from Minnie Mcbean. If you email her at minniemcbean@gmail.com then she will reply to you.
Is it possible to purchase somewhere the wood boxes with mice on top? So cute!
Hello - after I return from my workshop in New York I will list them on my website for sale. I kept some for non-attendees - N x
I’ve heard nothing but good things about the event. You always look so “put together”! I love your shirts! Who is the designer?
October 2025 is a very special birthday for me - possibly could be more special?!
