The two of you both is like sitting down with friends ! I look forward to each flosstubes you posts , no matter what mood l am in at the time , you both cheer me up so much . The two of you are so amazing ? The stitching has improved so much ! For a while it seemed l was pulling out more stitches than l was putting in , but it’s O.K. I look forward to stitching now thanks to the two of you both ! Thank You for sharing your wonderful needlework with all of us .
So glad you are enjoying your stitching. I've even gotten better at finding fun in frogging out my mistakes...teeheehee. Thanks for watching! hugs, Molly D
Molly, there is not a doubt in my mind you could fit in any cross stitch genre! Do you look at your stitching?!?! It is fantastic!! Your eye for color changes is fantastic!
Everything looks wonderful, ladies! Happy stitching! Hugs!❤
You girls are amazing! Just all the gorgeous stitching and patterns….love love everything!!!
Thank you so much!
Kathy, Loved seeing all your haul from the Attic , so fun! Would like to ask you if it would be possible to share your thread conversion for the Modern Folk Embroidery, Rosebush Sampler? I have the border and flowers across the top done but not crazy with the colors & really would like to see your choice. I think I could be happier with this stitch and am struggling with it. Makes me mad at myself for starting when I new I wasn't happy with it. Thank you.
Beverly.. happy to share!! I did post a pic and colors on my IG..

Let me know if you if you are a follower..
A wonderful, funny flosstube as usual. Kathy those threads and patterns you picked out are to die for, and all that Aida for Molly-I’m jealous. You two are a great pair. See you next time, keep up the good work.
Thank you soooo much!!!
Always love my time listening to the two of you. You are getting me through some rough medical issues.
I’m so glad we can help at a distance!
How wonderful of Claudia to gift all of the Aida fabric to Molly!! Aida is just as beautiful as linen, and no one should care or judge someone else for their choices of what to stitch, or what fabric to use! I love that you are both different in what you stitch and I always love your stitches! Molly the alphabet chart with the flowers is just gorgeous!! I love you both, and I always look forward to watching your videos to see what you both are doing! Kathy, your vacation photos showed a really wonderful trip, and the visit to The Attic and all of the haul was fabulous! Thank you both for sharing!
It was a very generous gift from such a sweetheart of a gal!
Vaca was wonderful. I way overbought but with good intentions for sure! Thank you!!!😊
I like the 18 count aida, because it is still small but easy to see the holes. Thank you for a great floss tube.
All of the pretty charts. Enjoyed the visit today.
Thanks so much 😊
Another great Flosstube! You guys were meant to be paired together! I like to do all the things so your Flosstube make me happy!
We do have fun!!!!🤩
You both accomplish so much stitching. Wow. Beautiful pieces
Thank you so much!😊
Thank you for the very sweet words, Molly! I enjoy watching you too! You are so fun and bring joy and inspiration to the community. BTW, I feel the same as you do about crocs 😂.
Maybe Texas crocs are 🥰! Lol!!! The nurses all wear them! Very comfortable and easy to clean. Not to mention the info Molly sent to me for croc headlights are hilarious!!!😂
@@linenandscraps4821 I think I’m going to need to see these crocs 😂
Love, love, love the chart parade Kathy! It is so wonderful of your friend to support Molly’s aida stitching! Yes, yes, yes!!!…let people enjoy this craft in their own way! Molly, love your fancy alphabet start….gorgeous!
Forgot to say…YES, please do a retreat!
Stay tuned!!!! lol!!!
What a fun video! Lots of enabling there today. I’m glad you love the fabrics, it was my pleasure to send them. Love to you both ❤ Sharon
Oh, Sharon! I am just so excited to stitch on those beautiful fabrics you gifted me. Thank you so so so much for them. Love your to pieces! Hugs, Molly D
I’m only an Aida stitcher and I love it. Thank you for saying that! Our stitching is our own and we need to do what we love! It’s so strange that other people would give anyone a hard time about our own personal preference. Great video ladies!😁
Thank you!!!
Super fun video.. I just love you too. Happy stitching❤❤
Thanks for watching!
Always happy to see a new video up from you ladies❤ Molly, you look gorgeous in that color!!!
Love your floss tube. Molly you look awesome in that top you have on the colors look so good on you!! Wow love stitching tips and finishing ideas.
It was a very pretty color on Molly!!! Thx for watching!!!
So much fun. I love your videos & all the beautiful goodies...
Glad you like them! Thank you!!!!
Oh my goodness=!!! So enjoyed this Floss Tube. Ya’ll just make me smile and giggle. And you’re right we don’t invite crazy in. It just comes in for a visit every few days in my case. I love life and stitching and floss tube friends. The pictures to Winslow, AZ were great Kathy. Molly, the cookie recipe printed and I can’t wait to make them. Have a great two weeks. Oh by the way…..you know how feel about Katie of Sew Tattered. That is how I feel about you and Kathy. ❤❤❤
Awwww you are very kind. Thank you for watching!!! Crazy is just part of life. Once you grasp that thought, just have to figure out how to handle it!!😆
Molly - AIDA ROCKS!!!! 14 count is my happy place...love you girls!!!😊
I stitch on Aida .It. Is my comfort stitch .
Love your Flosstube, both of you have such a wonderful friendship. I’m a Aida stitcher and love it. 🥰. What a wonderful gift to Molly of the Aida. Made me cry too
You two are so up beat and kind to each other and Molly you have come a ling way from when I first started watching. Kathy you are so talented and you both are such good friends. I just love watching you and you always make me smile
Thank you for such kind words! We enjoy our friendship! 😊
Oh the two of you and the way you interact! You make my day and make me lol. What a special haul. I can’t wait to see what Molly does with that bolt of fabric. I’m sure she’ll have fun experimenting with dying it. Oh that Hannah Sanderson 1849! What is that stitch count? I’m currently working on a big stitch that my husband asked me if I was making a quilt! It is so true, time flies when you’re retired. It is unbelievable. I need the slow button.
We have fun! 🤩 thank you!!!
Lovely to see you ladies. You always bring a smile to my face. Loved seeing all the patterns with quotes and the haul from the attic. You will love an attic retreat Molly stitchers are lovely people you will fit in no problems.
I love the verses and quotes! A must for a sampler!
I Love You 2.
Wow now that’s how I bought Aida I the late 80’s! That is fantastic! Love it all ladies❤ shame on anyone who tries to make a needleworker fell bad for using Aida cloth 😮 it’s all beautiful and it just doesn’t matter❤
Exactly!!👍
Fun, fun, fun, always. ❤❤
Thank you Sarah! We do have fun!!!
BTW.. I made the cookies again with butterscotch chips.. they were great!!!
All of your show is great! Mollie I teared up with you!
Many teared up..🥲 I was so happy for Molly as I know she loves stitching on Aida. A happy share for sure! 👍
Just loved this episode! So much gorgeous stitching. Your friendship is precious! You made me tear up with the gift given to Molly from Claudia! (Kathy, your admonishment to any one dissing or implying aida stitching is somehow “lesser than” linen is spot on! It makes me sad when I hear these stories. It’s all beautiful!-stitch on what makes you happy!)
In total agreement!!!!
I use Adia when it’s called for and even weave when I want. Do what makes you Happy Molly!!
Perfect!!!
Love Ryan Hall!
"What did you stitch that on?" "I dunno. A piece of fabric." LOL!!
Jane is stitching the Modern Folk Embroidery piece Kathy showed.
Y’all are adorable - love your channel!
Thank you so much!!
Hi Ladies. Molly I'd like to share something with you. When I started to stitch Aida was all there was and there certainly wasn't the selection there is now. I stitched with a group of very accomplished stitchers who stitched solely on linen so I felt very pressured to do the same. As time passed I enjoyed stitching less and less until I started watching your videos and saw the gorgeous work you do on Aida. I feel like you have given me permission to go back to Aida which I have done. I am now loving my stitching again and enjoying all the beautiful Aida fabrics available now. Thank you and don't ever feel 'less than' if you chose not to stitch on linen. Your work is beautiful and the joy you experience stitching is written all over you. Thanks again.
Perfectly stated! Thank you!!!
Absolute awesomesauce!
Thank you!!!!
I could say so many things about this flosstube but I would be writing a book. I'll try to keep it fairly short. I always love watching you two and this episode came at the perfect time. My best friend passed early this morning from breast cancer. Y'all are a great distraction. Kathy, thank you so much for speaking to us aida stitchers. In all honesty I would love to be able to stitch on linen, but for some reason, I just can't. I think I need in-person lessons! Molly, thank you for giving us "permission" to stitch on aida. I am so glad you showed "The Bluebirds of Happiness" on aida. I've had that pattern for quite some time and was afraid that aida wouldn't do it justice. Your stitching on this is beautiful. I will be starting mine, soon! Have a happy, stitchy week!
I’m soooo sorry you lost your friend. I’m sure healing will be a long and heavy road for you and her family. If Aida is the perfect fabric then it’s perfect! Hugs to you!!!
Thank you Kathy & Molly for another wonderful video. You ladies are such a delight to watch. Molly I also stitch on 14 count Aida as my eyesight is not the best. Kathy thanks for showing all your haul sounds like a lovely visit to the Attic. Anyway, look forward to the next video.
You are very welcome!!!! Thank you!!!
Spectacular video Kathy & Molly ❣️❣️ enjoyed seeing all your stitching beautiful. But stash enhancement from The Attic was fantastic thanks for sharing loved seeing Molly’s reaction to her gifts ….stitching people truly are kind🤗♥️
They really are. It was fun to share!
Molly and Kathy - love your videos!!!!! Can’t wait for the next one. I’m in Massachusetts and wish I was next door. Enjoy you both so much!!!!
I soooooo want to visit out there! Live all the history! Thank you!!!
YES to your retreat idea as I would love to meet both of you in person! Know it would be lots of fun and a real gab fest!!
Time will tell!
I totally agree…stitch on the fabric that is best for you and enjoy every X. I try to stitch as many sizes and fabric types as I can find on my flosstube so judgement is immediately set aside. As always, fantastic video.
Perfectly said! Thank you!!!😊
😊 I only stitch on AIDA and mostly 14ct. Go Molly Go we can form the AIDA support group!!
Enjoy you ladies 🤗🤗
I like the quotes and religious sayings you are sharing. I have been desiring this information shared. Thank you!
Love the verses and quotes! A must for every sampler!!!
Thank you Kathy and Molly for all that you share and the joy and laughter you bring ❤🥰 I love the variety of stitching you both share, beautiful samplers and amazing Aida stitching!! I too go back and forth between linen and Aida and understand totally Molly how it’s such a comfort stitch with Aida and now we have such beautiful fabric colors in Aida! I too wish you were neighbors for all the fun you share !!
Awww thank you!!!!
Great video!!!! Love your friendship and Kathy is right, stitch on what makes you happy!! I love Aida and linen and just joined a fabric of the month club and picked Aida! ❤
Yes! Thank you!
Extra side note?!? I’m IN for ANY retreat you two treasures organize! 🥰
Well then! Lol. Stay tuned!!!
I am watching your floss tube stitching Sweet Temper!!!
Wonderful! It’s a beautiful sampler!!! Send pics when you finish! I like Savior’s Praise too!!!
Enjoyed your latest video, fun to watch!
Thanks for the visit
Love your videos and the thought of you two doing a retreat………oh mylanta. I have never been to one, too intimidating, but I think I could actually do it with you two. If you build it, we will come……..thanks for such entertainment. I laugh out loud at the back and forth and the facial expressions. Thank you both again.❣️
Thinking thinking thinking…
You two are the best!! You are uplifting and kind not to mention talented! I can hardly wait for the notifications of a new video. 😊
Thank you so much!!😊
Oh, you guys, I just love you! I went to the Attic for the first this past April while in town visiting family and Molly! Molly, you will love it there! You MUST go! No shame in stitching on Aida!!! My husband waited very quietly and very patiently after I made him swear he would (😂) while I spent about an hour or two just taking it all in and shopping! It’s a wonderful place and I hope you and Kathy go soon! This community is so cool! So welcoming and supportive! I love your videos. You two are just so fun! ❤❤❤
Awwww thank you!!!!
Watery eyes…another awesome video!! Thank you!!
Our pleasure!
Ladies you make my day! I can’t stop smiling when I watch you! Your love of stitching and zest for life is contagious!! Molly please don’t ever feel bad for stitching on Aida. At 70, my eyesight is not what it used to be and it is getting more difficult to stitch on linen so AIDA it is! And by the way Molly I LOVE the top you’re wearing!
I love it, too!
I don’t get the shaming. Sad for sure.
Glad we made your day.. we have fun!!
You gals are awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your time, talents, and joy with us!!
- Dianna 😊
You are very welcome! Thank you!!!
Great one ladies!
Thank you!!!
Love you girls. I just always enjoy you so much.
SO happy y’all are back! I was starting to worry!! Another fun and informative FT.
Please don’t wait so long for the next one!!
More to come! Thank you!!!!🙏
Always a fun time watching you girls. I look forward to every episode. Thanks for everything you share! I cried with Molly when Kathy gave her the gift of fabric from her friend ❤ This community is so special 🥰
Always enjoy your floss tube, beautiful stitching💝
I have been watching you for a long time and just realized I never subscribed! So I took care of that. And I have to say that I was in a really grumpy mood and then I saw that there was a new video from the two of you. You absolutely, brought joy to my life today and cheered me up and I enjoyed every second of your video.
Wow, thank you!😊
Aww! Hopefully grumpy is long gone. I have those days… glad however long and far in-between!!!
I'm not sure if you have watched Laura, Stitching by the Shore, but she is an only Aida stitcher and I love everything she does. Keep on doing what you love because at the end of the day, that is all that matters! Love your videos! ❤
I'll check it out! Thank you!!!!
As always, it's so fun to watch you gals! Kathy, you were sooooo close to me when you were at the Attic! It would have been so fun to actually meet you in person. If you and Molly come to Mesa, let us AZ fans know and we'll have a welcome committee for you at The Attic! Happy stitching!
Maybe a stitchy date visit at the Attic????….???!!!!!!???? Thank you!!!!
Hello ladies! You are such an inspiration to so many, me included. Keep up the great work and stay cool. 😎
Thank you! Will do!
Such a great floss tube! Love all the quotes/sayings.
They are fun to think about as the meanings kinda get ya!
You ladies keep getting better and better 💕🪡🧵
Awww thank you!!!
Great video !!
Thank you
Thank you too!
Thank you - you two are so fun to watch!
Our pleasure!
I love using all fabric. I have a project going on 46 count linen and one on 18 count aida. I’m enjoying them both for different reasons!
Perfect!
Great video ladies! So fun. Love the presentation of the aida to Molly. Love all your stash Kathy. Take care!
So fun!!!🤩
WOW! Great Flosstube today! You two made me laugh and cry. Love you guys! That gift of the Aida just blew me away. Enjoy! There is nothing wrong with Aida and I can't believe someone said mean things about it. I stitch either on Aida or 28 or 32 count. I can't do more than that. And I use DMC! You guys stay the way you are, and Molly keep on stitching on Aida. I fly when I stitch on it. Now, I gotta go . . . you made me want to make cookies! Yum yum!
I added butterscotch this am! They were great! 👍
Thank you for the kind words!
Thanks, ladies! I always enjoy you two. I enjoy stitching on most any fabric but aida is my comfort fabric. Stitch on, Molly!
Perfect!🤩
Kathy, I was at the Attic a couple weeks ago as well. I purchased Catherine Armstrong. I looked inside at the chart after I got home and thought what in heck…how was I going to stitch from that. I messaged Kathleen Littleton and she said I must not have gotten the insert. She is mailing it to me. I hope you had the insert in your copy! Enjoy, Kris
Well no!!! I did not get an insert either! I’ll reach out to her… Thanks so very much!!!!
Loved your video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This floss tube was great! ❤❗️
Enjoy your aida, Molly❤!
Thank you! 😊
You must road-trip to the attic! Such a great shop.
I hope she does. It’s really not a bad drive from El Paso. Road trip!!!
Such a fun video ,Love you girls!! I’m also a Aida stitcher!!! You go Molly!!
Thank you both for another fun video!! Love the stitching and haul❤ I’m a 14/16 count stitcher🎉and I enjoy dying my own fabric. Go for it Molly🙌🏼🙌🏼yes.. there are some stitchers who are snobby about their stitch count😂😂it’s the care and keeping of ourselves that allows us to love others. Denise
All about enjoying yourself!
Great video! I have stitched over 40 years. Stitch on what fabric that makes you happy. I stitch on Aida and linen but with aging eyes prefer Aida. I stitch samplers on Aida that are beautiful. Life is too short not to be happy. 😊
So well said! Thank you 😊 for watching!!!
So funny I need that hot mess pattern, It is my daughter through and through LOL!!
It’s adorable!!!
Love watching the two of you. You remind me of my best friend and me doing things together (when she was alive). You two birds need to strike out and come to a retreat in Alabama. We would have a ball with y’all. Molly you would love to arrange your floss on the Annie’s Keepers.
Thank you!!!
Fun time ladies. Mollie - I've been a linen stitcher for many years but have been so impressed with the things that folks are stitching on aida that I've been ordering some. I want to continue to grow and change and try new things and enjoy it all - so thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you so much!😊
Kathy and Molly! Thank you for a wonderful video, always so much inspiration! I would love to stitch with you ladies. Thank you so much for the support of Aida stitchers. You made me cry. I have felt the same things that Molly said in the video. Kathy- Wisconsin is beautiful right now if you want to come up north for a visit. Be well Ladies- you are both amazing
I love WI.. I’ll be back!!!
I very much enjoyed spending time with you watching your video and seeing all the projects that you've been working on. Your haul was so fun to see and Molly, I'm so happy for you that you got given a good amount of aida as a gift. I love stitching on linen and evenweaves, but I really love love stitching on aida. Thank you ladies for another wonderful video.
It was a very generous gift.🎁 always fun to share the goodness!
I also just finished Faith, Molly. I’d planned a pillow, but love it so much it’s now framed on my dining room wall. Unfortunately Jane and Julie posted they’ll no longer be doing Flosstubes, I miss them already.
I’m sad they’ve decided to part from Flosstube.. maybe down the road they’ll be back.
Great episode! Claudia owned the LNS in my town before she moved to Arizona. At that time she designed table toppers which were easy to stitch and became a staple in my stitching as we raised our young family. Claudia is such a wonderful asset to our community and I look forward to the time I might hear her talk about Bristol samplers.
Yes she did! I’m sure the community misses her! A wealth of info on Bristol’s!!! And Bonus… a total genuine sweetheart!!!
Such a delightful video! Kathy, I teared up along with you when you presented Molly with the gift of the Aida cloth from your friend Claudia. Such kindness and generosity. I’m always so inspired by your videos. Thank you!❤
Claudia is a sweetheart. I totally enjoy her. I hope Molly will get to meet her someday!!! Road trip!!!
Oh My Goodness, You girls are so fun to watch. Loved seeing you again. So much to say, every time you talk I want to talk with you. First you have to know Those Cookies are so Awesome!! I split the recipe & added chocolate chips for my husband, well that's not happening again cause I Love the ones without the chocolate. Totally understand why it's hard to get those cookies to Kathy's house😁! I dream of going to the attic someday and I have never been on a retreat but if ya'll did one I would definitely give it a good try (don't wait to long, getting older by the min)😳! It would be so much fun! Molly, stitching is stitching and I love it when you say, You do you. It' always beautiful when finished. That's my hardest part getting to the finish. Would love to have a stitching buddy like you two. You are a treat I look forward to watching whenever you can make video, Thank You .
Try butterscotch too! They are good! Thank you for the kind words!!!
I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN!!! This video was so FABULOUS!!! I was TRYING to stitch & take notes! There was so much! Kathy, would you consider sharing the flosses you chose for the Modern Folk piece? They are right up my alley. Just so pretty! & i would go to a retreat with you 2 for sure! Thank you!
You are so welcome! And yes of course I’ll share!!!
Love you ladies! And I would sign up for a retreat with you at the Attic in a heartbeat! I am hoping to sign up for the Autumn Abundance retreat in November if I can get in. I would gladly sit back in the corner of the room with you Molly anytime! ❤
Time will tell!!!!
Lots of fun today ladies! I think choosing fabric for projects is the hardest part. Color and size stump me and buying online is hard to truly see the color. Molly I know you will enjoy the fabric you received!
Admire the way you change colors!
On line is very difficult for sure. Molly dyes beautifully!!
I was starting to go through Linen and Scraps withdrawals and there you were. You two are just the brightest ray of sunshine. Thank you ❤
Awwww! Thank you!!!
Same!
Awesome video. Enjoyed Kathy’s pattern parade & haul, Molly’s kind gift from Kathy’s friend, and all the laughs & fun. Will have to try your cookie recipe. TFS.
Thanks so much! It was fun to share the goodness!!!
What a wonderful FlossTube! Thank you both for sharing such beautiful stitchy goodness and for being such a light in our cross stitching world. Thank you, Kathy, for your comments about stitching on Aida and Molly for all of your beautiful Aida stitching ~ what an amazing gift from Claudia! Yes, Molly, please more scrapbooking and card making and thanks for the cookie recipe!
Yes to an Attic retreat, I live an hour from the shop!
A fun idea for sure… stay tuned…:)
There are a bunch more Stacy Nash Animal Crackers - Percy, Scarlett, Jack and Henrietta to name some. Your patterns and WIPs have my wheels rolling now, but that floral alphabet just zipped to the top of my wishlist Molly! And I can’t wait for your stand reviews Kathy. So much goodness in this Flosstube! Thank you ladies!
I knew there were the older bigger ones but the three that I showed were the small pin cushion size cuties. I love them all for sure..,👍 thank you!!!
❤❤❤❤❤
💕
Great video your stitching is amazing. Love to hear about the kindness. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!😊
Ladies, another wonderful flosstube!! Kathy, what a kind and generous thing your friend did of sending the Aida fabric to Molly. Just makes my heart happy for you Molly! Both of your love and excitement for the craft of cross stitching is contagious . Thank you both for always brightening my day!! ❤
It was very generous of her to share with Molly! All about sharing the ❤️!
What a great video. I look forward to you both and I love Aida Molly so keep on keepin’ on and breathe it all in. Here in Boston we are finally getting decent weather. So envious of Kathy getting to the attic. I agree you have to get Molly out more. There is a great deal to see.
I’m very lucky to have that special treat of a trip to the Attic! Thank you!!!
I love that Molly will be dyeing more fabric! She is quite good with her colors.
Yes she is!!!
