First time watcher. I saw your dish dryer pad placemats made with jelly rolls!! LOVE them!! I’m going to my fabric store today for some jelly roles, & my dollar store!!!! Thank you for your site! Looking forward to MORE ideas!
Hello, I've been hearing your name through a couple other flosstubers so I had to come check you out! Fun fact - I live in Wisconsin, so hello neighbor! I love your energy! Will be subscribing and starting to binge your videos!
Loved your video!! FINALLY someone who works on aida I have been feeling like I was the only one and a little less than. I also only have two things going at the same time. Look forward to your next flosstube video!!!
Here in Illinois we have rough winters too. It's so nice to find someone else who does nice things for the little ones. We are always donating coats, gently used boots. We sew a purple or pink thread thru a hood and i have seen a few kiddos wearing them as we have donated them. Warms my heart they are warm for the season. We never say anything to them just a gently reminder to those around us, that we shouldn't take what we have for granted.
Loved your first video. I too knit and quilt so will be looking for your videos on those. Also, like you, I cannot have 50 WHIPS. I do however have hundreds of patterns 😂
Awwww . . so glad I found you! Hope you don't mind but I will be binge watching and commenting until I get caught up. :) 😍 I love the sale spot at the needlework store!! I'm with ya.
I enjoyed your first flosstube...I do like Aida, but I am stitching on Lugana too... I look forward to your next video... Good luck and thanks for sharing...
I am a newbie to Cross Stitch and Aida is what I have chosen to learn on. I am in Southern MI. you are a brave soul to live in the UP. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. I quilt as well. I have a knitting machine so I can make hats, mittens, and possibly scarfs for children as well. I am so happy to have found your videos.
Thank you. Absolutely, grandchildren are great. It is very sereal to see miniature versions of my kids running around. My grandchildren look so much like my sons. It is weird.
Just found you today while stitching and watching Flosstube! I'm in Rhode Island and we're having a coastal snow storm , 5-10" predicted ! Ugh I don't really like snow, cold weather so cozy under my fleece blanket and stitching on Aida !! Yes I'm an Aida girl too. Started cross stitching in South Carolina in the 80's then took up quilting in 1993 and just got back into cross stitching in March during the shutdown! I'm still stitching and not much quilting at present ! Loved your video and I'm also a monogamous stitcher as well ! Thank you for doing Flosstube! ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome to Flosstube. We are "vintage" both in our tastes and age! We lived in the UP for over 7 years....first in AuTrain/Munising area, then in L'Anse on the Keweenaw Bay. We miss our UP home like a heartache. We now live downstate Michigan very close to the Indiana border. We are waiting for spring so we can make a trip back to the UP to see all our friends. Your stitching choices are so much like mine it is amazing. Hubby and I both enjoyed your video...Thank you for sharing~ Stay warm~
Thank you firbthe warm welcome. Wevheadvuobti Lance atleast once a summer to camp . I love the state campground on the bay. And being able to walk down the street for amazing pizza. (I forget the name of the restaurant) 🥰
HI Sassie - another Yooper here. My Mom was born in K Bay!! I'm a Finn with lots of relatives in the area, and my parents had a cabin north of K Bay for almost 30 years. I'm in Ohio now and feel *exactly* the same; miss my true home like a heartache. It was a perfect description!
Enjoyed your first video. It's heartwarming to see someone doing something they love,knitting, and giving to those in need. I stitch mostly on 40ct linen but there was a time I made many beautiful things on Aida. They make some really nice Aida now which has grabbed my interest,so that may be in my future . I'm also a monogamous stitcher .I don't know how people handle having 19 things going at once, I'd be crazy. Look forward to seeing your quilting as I do some of that too.
I'm originally from lower MI!! Near the border of Ohio. I always use the mitten when I tell someone what state I'm from! Love your first video. Someone from Stitching with the Housewives introduced your flosstube
You are such a sweet, giving person to knit all those gloves and hats. I only stitch on Aids these days. Right now I’m doing a Lizzie Kate mystery sampler on 32, which reminds me why I only want to do Aida these days. There are so many beautiful fabrics these days!
Hello from Detroit 😎 I cross stitch, crochet, knit, and a lot of other stuff. You did great on your first video! I also love the 80'-90's design's on aida. It's what I learned on and still love to do. I'm not a fabric or floss (or yarn) "snob" and it's refreshing to see a floss tuber who isn't promoting all the latest trends or expensive materials that are out of reach budget wise for a lot of regular crafters. I subscribed, looking forward to your next vid ☺
Thank you so much. I still love dmc floss. I did like alot of the new stuff, but many of the patterns look alike to me. Especially the samplers. While they are all beautiful, the have a similar style. Glad to have you aboard. 🥰
You seem very comfortable, like you're talking with a neighbor who popped by. I felt like I was sitting on a sofa across from you listening to your story. I like Aida too as the eyes aren't what they used to be. ;-)
I prefer aida too, I'm currently using evenweave on my first heaven and earth full coverage design and its great for that but otherwise I'll stick with aida. Your the first floss tube I've watched :-) x
Hi Arti (I hope I spelled your name right) You SWEET GIRL 💐 It's so nice of you to think of the less fortunate. God Bless You ❤ You did a great job on this being your first video. Keep up the good work. We need to see more of your videos. I love 14 count Aida. Can't wait to see more of your beautiful projects. Good for you and your husband just traveling on the fly. My husband does the same thing. We're retired but he's been doing last minute trips for 10 years - I always have a project packed 🙂
Really enjoy your style and how you explain yourself. I think you do a marvelous and generous thing knitting for others! I live in Northern Maine and understand the cold. Anxious for your quilting videos as I too quilt, however I wish I had your drive to complete projects.😁That’s an excellent quality. Look forward to your next video. P.S. I have two Shitzus, Duncan’s 13 and Cricket is 6 1/2. She’s only about 9 lbs.😊 Stephanie
Hi, just found your video and will be checking out your others. I'm glad you showed Sunshine and Shadows, I stitched it in 1988 (still not framed) and over the years lost the chart and had forgotten the name. I have only come back to cross stitch in the last year (after a 30 year break) as I couldn't concentrate on my knitting. Cheers from Australia.
Enjoyed your video. I live in southwest Michigan. I also stitch primitive , country patterns. Love to make quilts also. I knit very little anymore. In the past I would knit socks. Looking forward to more videos.
I liked very much your video and the fact that you do not need to have a bunch of wips. Looking forward to see the next one...greatings from Spain Europe.
Great video. Nice to meet you and I am certainly going to be on the lookout for more. Your projects are just lovely. That Christmas sampler is just stunning.
Love your video. I'm living in hot Texas but born and raised in Coldwater, southern bottom of Michigan close to Indiana border. Love Aida it's all I stitch on. I too love floss tube but it's been sooooo enabling. ..... After my husband passed in 2016 unexpectedly I took up cross stitching again, thank God because it kept me busy. Happy Stitching
Just found your first Flosstube. Really enjoyed it. Look forward to your next. I also usually work on one project at a time and looking forward to the next.
Hi Artie, I’m not a big watcher of flosstube. Honestly, I have other things to do than listen to others drama in their lives. Having said that, I did enjoy yours, your voice isn’t over the top obnoxious, you don’t rattle on about something foreve, that has nothing to do with stitching, you stay on subject, pleasantly say what you have to say & you’re done. You were in & out in about 30 minutes & I appreciate that! I enjoyed your field trip to the Stitching Bee, I’m in La Crosse, WI, area, so I have used them as a LNS, at times. I haven’t been there yet, it would be a weekend trip for us, and that’s not happening until winter goes away! Back to your first video...many years ago, I was spitting words out under my breath, I’d been repeatedly making the exact same mistake, in my needlework a number of times. A very dear friend was within earshot, playing with our infant, and overheard me. What she said to me, I’ve carried with me for over 30 years, and hold it near in my heart. What she said, and she was a crafter, too, and she said to me, “never mind your mistakes”. I’m thinking, WHAT! But the rest of it makes sense. She said she’d been told, very young, that mistakes or the “oops”, are our way of showing God that we are not his equal, that we are mere man, and are less than he is, we are human and we do fumble once in awhile. I’ll never forget that. So now, I leave a mistake or 2 in my pieces. I may not know I’m leaving them, most of the time, and if there aren’t any, well than, there aren’t any. So, don’t worry about Mr. Frog, unless he’s in a place you can’t ignore, just work those little things in and keep on moving. It’s hard at first, especially when you catch the right away. But you’ll get the hang of it. You’ve probably seen me running around the groups trying to pick up & dust off the stitchers that have buried themselves in dirt because they made a stupid mistake. I tell them all, ‘it just means your not Gods equal’, and you're adding your own personality to your piece. So, all in all, build up your work, don’t down play them because you’ve added your special touch! I enjoyed listening to you! Who knows, being in somewhat close proximity, maybe we’ll run into one another sometime. Take care, be safe out here, stay warm and most of all happy stitching! Lynn
Thank you for all the kind words. My life is pretty boring. So no drama here. Just stitching and a few funny stories. 😄 I'm pretty good with my mistakes. I know they are there. But better done than perfect.
@@thevintagestitcher2022 I’ll admit, I ramble when I write! 😂 I like your saying, “better done than perfect”! Years ago I put a project away cause I couldn’t find the mistake. Took it out about 10 years later & was bound & determined to finish it, at any cost! So I worked at it, blended things in & got it done-never to find the mistake. Once I got the FFO back, I had a quilt finish around it, right there, in front of my face was the mistake!!! Couldn’t believe it! It was meant to be! On a side note, it was one of Stoney Creeks designs of the “Our Father”! Take care. It’s been lovely chattingwith you! Lynn
I couldn’t resist watching you when I read “Vintage Stitcher” as I’m all about the love of vintage everything. You made a great first flosstube! Looking forward to what you share in the future. Stay warm!
I am so glad I found you! I looked for "vintage cross stitch" because I find myself drawn to vintage patterns rather than the new things I see here on UA-cam just because I like old stuff. I am just beginning cross stitch and also like aida because I like the tidiness of those little boxes and have found myself feeling overwhelmed when flossers talk about even weave and linen when I'm just learning. Thanks!
Love your new channel. Joy Noel is beautiful! I march to my own drum too! Ha. I only stitch on one project at a time - makes me anxious to even think about a stack of things. ❤️
I too only work on Aida and nothing smaller than 16 ct. Every flosstube I watch they are stitching on all sorts of fabric that I never heard of. Also cannot figure out how they see where to stitch. I love the look of the tiny stitches, but I cannot do it. I too usually only have two projects going in cross stitch. If I start working on something it’s because I either need it for a gift, or it’s something I want to decorate with. Why have so many projects and never finish anything. I do not buy kits either. First I think they are overpriced, especially when they are using the expensive floss. I am a DMC person. Will definitely keep watching your channel.
You sound like my kind of stitcher. I do surge of fancy flosses once in a while. Just because they are fun and pretty. But most of my projects are dmc.
Enjoyed your first Flosstube! Thanks for sharing with us. I wish I had your willpower to stick to one stitching project at a time. I have so many WIP’s and it does stress me out at times! Looking forward to more of your vids!! That Joy Noel sampler is beautiful!! Kevin in FL
Thank you. It is tempting to start all my new projects. But I do kit them up and get them ready for stitching. That helps curb it until I can stitch it.
Loved your first video. I grew up in Wyandotte MI, just outside of Detroit. I too quilt and knit along with cross stitch. My goal for this year is to finish as many quilt UFO's as possible. Also, I don't know if it is me or what, but all the sampler WIP's and patterns you showed were backwards.
My husband grew up in Pontiac. So we go down every so often to see the changes in that area. I figured out the mirror feature on my phone but video #8. Thank you for watching. 🥰
I knew immediately from your slight "accent" that you were from the UP or Wisconsin. I grew up near Iron Mountain (Norway) and will always be a Yooper at heart. Your projects and future projects are great. And what a wonderful ministry you have with your hats and mittens. I know how needed it is up there.
I hope you make many, many more flosstube videos. I enjoyed your first one so much, you are a natural. I loved all your projects and I will be watching for all future videos, including quilting or knitting and of course stitching. I admire your work to try and keep the kids warm for your Michigan winters. There is a lovely lady in our church who crochets scarves (sometimes 400 in a year) for people that come to our food pantry. She also makes adult size and kids size and we all contribute to her yarn supply. People need all the help they can get sometimes. Be seeing you again soon I hope!! Keep crafting!
Enjoyed your video! I like to think I am a sane stitcher as well, especially as I get older, 1-3 projects at a time suits me fine. I've been stitching since I was a teenager in the 70s, then stopped in the 90s to pursue other crafts and now have recently started again and pulled out all that 80s and 90s stash, so I better like those things because that's what I have, lol! The only "vintage" patterns I have that I really don't think I can update are all the geese and teddy bears, no longer my taste! But thankfully I have lots of samplers and 20+ year old floss to keep me busy. Your charity work is very touching, bless you! Be kind, spread love and find peace, that beautiful! Will watch more of your videos, thank you so much!
My husband was stationed at KI Sawyer back in the ‘74 the snow is insane there an seems like winter lasted forever. The bridge between always made me so nervous when we traveled to Indiana and West Virginia to visit family. We hope to make a trip one day back up to Marquette to see how much it’s changed. Enjoyed your video. I’m a Aida girl also but I do get that crazy urge to try 25/28 counts but it never works out.
LOVE YOUR FLOSSTUBE!!!!! I, too, am a Michigander. I live in Royal Oak, a suburb of Detroit. My daughter has a cottage in the middle of the state. We try to get to the upper peninsula every summer. Love your stitching.
I couldn't tell you were nervous or anxious at all. Just found you today and am making my way through your videos. I used to only stitch one thing at a time. I recently came back to cross stitching after many years of not doing it. All the creators I watch on You Tube have enabled me to get started again and to have many projects going. My youngest son goes to Michigan Tech in Houghton, MI. We may drive by where you live on our trips up there. We live in Northern Illinois.
@@thevintagestitcher2022 No, not this year. We went the weekend after the festival his first year there. We might try it next year, provided the world goes back to normal. Next year will most likely be his last unless he goes for the Accelerated Masters program. I'm trying to remember the road numbers we are on in Michigan when we go up there. I haven't been since August. My husband has done the trips to get him and take him back for breaks so far this school year. His first year there I went to get him for Christmas break and ran into a blizzard. It took me an extra hour to get to Houghton that night. I try and avoid the winter trips now.
I just viewed your first video. So nice to meet you. I had to stop the video to see if I could find the Prairie Schooler Sunshine Shadow ! I have a couple Amish stitches from the 90's that I did and this would go well with those. I also have always wanted to do the Kathy Barrick Heaven and Nature !! I am your neighbor in Minnesota ..... Brrr. I know exactly what you mean by cold temps.
Hopefully I get everyone digging in their stashes. I really love the older patterns. They are all the ones I couldn't afford, because I was a young mom and we were newly married.
You seem to be mine kind of stitcher. I'm a vintage stitcher due to my age (76) and the years I've been stitching. I love aida too, especially since my eyes are so old. And I'm learning so much on Flosstube. I'm so glad I've found someone who stitches the way I do.
Hello from Russia. Thank you for the video. Frankly speaking you are the first english-speaking flosstuber whom I really liked. You are sincere. Your samplers are gorgerous. Stiching samplers is not that popular with Russian stichers. I think I will watch your videos with pleasure. About 20 years ago I was in the USA and even saw lake Michigan. 😀
That is so nice of you to say. I don't do only samplers. I love a bit of everything. Lake Michigan is beautiful. Any shore you are on, it is amazing. Welcome.
Loved this video! I’d like to know how you decide alternate colors for your cross stitch projects. I am just coming back to cross stitch after about 30 years and left off when my kids were little so this is a whole new world of design aside from stitching cute little teddy bears. Thank you for your knitting for the children in your area. Shows you have a generous and sincere heart❣️
I love everything you said and showed! Well, I do have over 100 wips but besides that! My parents live in Michigan as well. I am an 18 ct aida girl. I also am a total Jeremiah junction/cross country stitching fan!! Can't wait to see more from you!
I work on aida and love it. I live ab out 35 miles from the Mackinac Bridge. I also knit, crochet and quilt. Stay safe and healthy. I know about snow we received about 10 or 11 inches since Friday. Walk in Peace.
Great job! We have much in common! Besides stitching, I also quilt and knit, as well as crochet and weave. I live in lower Michigan but I lived in the UP for 6 years, in Newberry, so I understand the cold and snow! If you have been to a quilt retreat in Garden, we may have even met! Unlike you, I am not monogamous in any of my crafts. I have many WIPs and UFOs in stitching, quilting and knitting. I love your Susan Ache project and immediately downloaded it. I will change the colors some, but can’t wait to start it!
I enjoyed your video.. you are a realist and thank you for that! I also love Aida. I stopped doing cross stitch probably 20 years ago and also fell into that flosstube rabbit hole.. lol I recently just started getting new supplies as I am a retired teacher and let my students stitch in free time. They checked out charts like books. I didn't always get them back and that's ok I look forward to your quilting vids I also quilt and am self youtube taught... God bless you for your hats and mitten projects and you are absolutely right.. Children should feel poor...I love that
You just mentioned something I could do to give back. I knit but not a great knitter . Maybe I can find someone to teach me a mitten and hat pattern to give to children. I need to give this some though...thanks for the idea!
Hello ! and welcome to Flosstube. I live in Perry Township, between Lansing and Flint here in Michigan. I too love the primitive, vintage look. Love your projects so far. I also make hats, mittens and scarves but donate them to the homeless shelter. These I do while watching TV. I buy my yarn when on sale/clearance or at garage sales in the summer and make mine out of funky color combos. Warm is warm. My husband's people are from Water's Meet in the U.P. and he went to Northern U. Happy to connect with someone up there. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Stay safe, warm and happy stitching !
Thank you for the warm welcome. We have friends in Watermeet. We camp up there often in the summer. My knitting is mostly done on car trips. It keeps me awake. Lol
Your channel was such a great find, guess I'll have to thank the UA-cam algorithm for that, hahah! Beautiful projects, thank you for showing them and I love your relaxed approach to crafting - will be fun to see you work on some of those vintage patterns, too! I only cross stitch these days, but I have a history with knitting as well, going back all the way to my teens in the 80s. But I am NOT a fast stitcher so that particular craft takes up a giant piece of my free time - it's too much fun! 😁 Stay warm up there in Michigan! I'm from Finland so it's been freezing here, as well, but I don't mind, it's amazing to have a proper, snowy winter again after last year's horridness of rain and darkness for five months straight...!
I’m a Minnesota cross stitcher 🤔.. did that sound right? 😊 I use both Aida and evenweave fabrics according to the project that I’m working. Welcome to the best of the best stitching blogs on media! Love your video :) Thank you! Sunny, Duluth 💖✨
Great first video. I cross-stitch, quilt, crochet, and am learning to knit. I also use Aida and love it. You are a beautiful stitcher. I am looking forward to your next video. Take care.
I have just collected and started a pattern from 1984. It just is so simplistically beautiful. I just love what you’re doing to help your community. Happy crafting.
Love your first Flosstube, looking forward to the next one. I like stitching on Aida as well. I have gotten some 25 - 30 count fabric to try but it seems like I gravitate back to 18-20 count Aida. Have a Blessed and Stitchy Day!
Enjoyed very much your video today. I also am an aida stitcher. Your Christmas sampler is gorgeous! I also knit hats for donation; we live in a cold weather state too; there is much need here due to covid unemployment. I have some of those little left over balls too but I dislike making mittens. I always have trouble with thumb gussets. I knit mostly hats, small shawls, and cowls.
Yay - another Yooper stitcher! Born and raised Yooper here - born in Newberry, lived in the Soo, went to school at NMU and my parents had a summer cabin near Baraga. Who else would recognize those tiny towns?? I'm in Ohio now, near family, and happened to see your new thumbnail on UA-cam come up. Didn't know the pictures of your hands would be doing that "lower pensinsula looks like a mitten" gesture, along with the crooked fingers of your other hand trying to look like the U.P. Thanks for the laugh. I admire your focused stitching - I've just come back to stitching after a few years away taking care of my elderly parents, so I have more than a few in some stage of progress. Welcometo UA-cam - I look forward to hearing some of your Yooper stories!
I know all of those towns. We love the soo. Hubby is a "boat nerd". So we spend time over there every summer to watch the boats. Thank you for the warm welcome.
Hi Artie. I so enjoyed your first flosstube. I live in Oneida County Wisconsin . Not all that far away. I have a grandson that is attending Michigan Tech so we get to the UP once in awhile. I also am a quilter, knitter and cross stitcher. You will do fine with your channel. I’m sure. I subscribed and will get notifications when you’re on.
Welcome to Flosstube! Thanks for the tip on the Aurifil patterns. Those Susan Ache patterns look fun, and now I have an excuse to try some new threads. And I'm with you on the weather. I'm in Chicago and I would hibernate (and stitch) until spring if I could. Thanks, and happy stitching!
So glad you found the patterns. I love her style. I only work out of the house 2 days per week. And hibernate the other 5. I am not a winter girl. 🏄♀️🏄♀️🏄♀️
Hi from South Africa, great video and look forward to watching you again and again. I also enjoy changing colors and fabric to suit my home ... and being in SA and where I live, I don't have much choice of fabric except Aida. An off cut of linen comes into the little shop just on the odd occasion. Love your taste of patterns!
Welcome to floss tube! I think you'll find you're right at home. I also like some of the vintage stitches, especially old sampler charts which I also switch out the colors to make it more my style. Your knitting is wonderful and I'll bet so appreciated. I'll look forward to seeing your next video, and I like your words to live by.!
You never looked at the camera. You'll see what I mean when you watch this back. I like your energy! You have a bright personality and I enjoyed your flosstube.
Nice to meet you! You have some fabulous projects lined up! Joy Noel is gorgeous! I loved your video and am so thankful for all of you flosstubers who share your passion for all things stitchy! Thanks so much. Stay safe and happy stitching.
Yay! Another Michigander! 😊 I live in lower west Michigan, in Grand Rapids. I love that you only have a couple projects at a time and also that you stitch other things. I love flosstube, but sometimes you see the same thing over and over, so it’s definitely nice to see something different. Looking forward to more of your videos. Oh! I also have a Shih Tzu! They are the best dogs.
I have been ordering a bunch of new old patterns of Facebook destash sites. Can't wait to show everyone. Shitzu are great dogs.. Duchess is very lovable. And very well behaved as far as house manners. She is very suited for us.
Welcome to Flosstube! I am an "Amish" needlecrafter in that all my projects have a mistake somewhere...lol. If you didn't know, the Amish purposely build in an error into their work because only God is perfect. Works for me! I cross stitch, quilt, knit and do punch needle. Love the primitives.
Thank you for the warm welcome. I having so much fun. I have heard the Amish rule of building in a mistake. I have never had to do a mistake on purpose. But I always say a prayer over my projects during the last stitches of a project. I love the many traditions of needlearts.
Love your view on stitching...stitch what you want & love...thats me...I don't do flosstube videos but I enjoy watching them...it seems once one flosstubers do something they all do it...I like different,if that makes sense. I love that you knit items for the less fortunate,that is a blessing to the people getting them,God bless you for it! Happy Stitching...😊
Loved your video! I enjoy seeing different patterns and projects. You are so sparkly. I admire your knitting projects. I hope to learn someday. Great to see your compassion for others.
Oh my gosh your christmas sampler is gorgeous! My mom and I just started a knitting and cross stitching podcast. We love stitching on Aida. Aida stitchers unite!!!
Just now catching up with you. I love the old "classic" 80's and 90's sampler charts also and have been accumulating a few. Recently got into the Chester County Collection also and cant wait to start a couple of them. Now off to watch the rest of your videos, Kristy.
I love your videos and your style. Those old samplers are great. I find myself drawn to them. Beware, some of my first videos are rough. But they get better. 😛
@@thevintagestitcher2022 Thank you so much. I know what you mean, I feel like a goof after watching mine but I keep making them anyway. At least we are in good company.
I loved your video. I’m like you in many stitching ways. I only have a few WIPS and I love many new designs but am drawn to the older patterns and fabrics. I love what you do to help children in need.
Just discovered your flosstube and enjoyed your video! I’m a stitcher, quilter, and (rarely) knitter too, and having too many WIPs makes me antsy. I’ve been repurchasing a few vintage charts from the 80s on eBay. So fun! I had foolishly given away all my cross stitch stuff years ago, and now I stitch every day. 🙂
First time watcher. I saw your dish dryer pad placemats made with jelly rolls!! LOVE them!! I’m going to my fabric store today for some jelly roles, & my dollar store!!!! Thank you for your site! Looking forward to MORE ideas!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hello, I've been hearing your name through a couple other flosstubers so I had to come check you out! Fun fact - I live in Wisconsin, so hello neighbor! I love your energy! Will be subscribing and starting to binge your videos!
Love the hats, mittens, & the cause you are helping 💙
Loved your video!! FINALLY someone who works on aida I have been feeling like I was the only one and a little less than. I also only have two things going at the same time. Look forward to your next flosstube video!!!
Thank you. I like to switch up my fabrics, but my eyesight does not. 😆
Here in Illinois we have rough winters too. It's so nice to find someone else who does nice things for the little ones. We are always donating coats, gently used boots. We sew a purple or pink thread thru a hood and i have seen a few kiddos wearing them as we have donated them. Warms my heart they are warm for the season. We never say anything to them just a gently reminder to those around us, that we shouldn't take what we have for granted.
❤
Hi, welcome! I enjoy your video, tks for sharing. Xoxo. Happy Stitching. Miriam
Hi. Back to the beginning! I don't see any mistakes in any of your work. It is magnificent! Love all that you do especially your giving heart.
🥰🥰🥰
Loved your first video. I too knit and quilt so will be looking for your videos on those. Also, like you, I cannot have 50 WHIPS. I do however have hundreds of patterns 😂
Lol. I have enough stash to last 10 lifetimes.
Another great video. So glad I found your introduction video.
Awwww . . so glad I found you! Hope you don't mind but I will be binge watching and commenting until I get caught up. :) 😍 I love the sale spot at the needlework store!! I'm with ya.
I don't mind at all. I love it 🥰
Wow, what a wonderful person you are! Thanks for all the sharing you do. I enjoyed your floss tube, I’ll be back🙂
❤❤❤
I enjoyed your first flosstube...I do like Aida, but I am stitching on Lugana too...
I look forward to your next video...
Good luck and thanks for sharing...
I am a newbie to Cross Stitch and Aida is what I have chosen to learn on. I am in Southern MI. you are a brave soul to live in the UP. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. I quilt as well. I have a knitting machine so I can make hats, mittens, and possibly scarfs for children as well. I am so happy to have found your videos.
Welcome. I am so glad you are here. We have a ton of fun in this group
Love your video. I too am a quilter, new cross stitcher. And aren't Grandchildren the Best!
Thank you. Absolutely, grandchildren are great. It is very sereal to see miniature versions of my kids running around. My grandchildren look so much like my sons. It is weird.
@@thevintagestitcher2022 Isn't that the truth. LOL.
Just found you today while stitching and watching Flosstube! I'm in Rhode Island and we're having a coastal snow storm , 5-10" predicted ! Ugh I don't really like snow, cold weather so cozy under my fleece blanket and stitching on Aida !! Yes I'm an Aida girl too. Started cross stitching in South Carolina in the 80's then took up quilting in 1993 and just got back into cross stitching in March during the shutdown! I'm still stitching and not much quilting at present ! Loved your video and I'm also a monogamous stitcher as well ! Thank you for doing Flosstube! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much. Hunker down and stitch. Stay safe!
Welcome to Flosstube. We are "vintage" both in our tastes and age! We lived in the UP for over 7 years....first in AuTrain/Munising area, then in L'Anse on the Keweenaw Bay. We miss our UP home like a heartache. We now live downstate Michigan very close to the Indiana border. We are waiting for spring so we can make a trip back to the UP to see all our friends. Your stitching choices are so much like mine it is amazing. Hubby and I both enjoyed your video...Thank you for sharing~ Stay warm~
Thank you firbthe warm welcome. Wevheadvuobti Lance atleast once a summer to camp . I love the state campground on the bay. And being able to walk down the street for amazing pizza. (I forget the name of the restaurant) 🥰
HI Sassie - another Yooper here. My Mom was born in K Bay!! I'm a Finn with lots of relatives in the area, and my parents had a cabin north of K Bay for almost 30 years. I'm in Ohio now and feel *exactly* the same; miss my true home like a heartache. It was a perfect description!
Loving your first video. I, too in 2021 did all ornaments or pillows and small stuff. This year back to some big stuff to get done.
🥰🥰🥰
Enjoyed your first video. It's heartwarming to see someone doing something they love,knitting, and giving to those in need. I stitch mostly on 40ct linen but there was a time I made many beautiful things on Aida. They make some really nice Aida now which has grabbed my interest,so that may be in my future . I'm also a monogamous stitcher .I don't know how people handle having 19 things going at once, I'd be crazy. Look forward to seeing your quilting as I do some of that too.
Loved your first video. I heard about you from Chris. Enjoyed the variety of your projects. Terrific knitting project!
Thank you. So glad you are here.
I'm originally from lower MI!! Near the border of Ohio. I always use the mitten when I tell someone what state I'm from! Love your first video. Someone from Stitching with the Housewives introduced your flosstube
🧵🧵🧵
Found you a few weeks ago and am watching every video to catch up. Loving it thus far.
❤❤❤
You are such a sweet, giving person to knit all those gloves and hats.
I only stitch on Aids these days. Right now I’m doing a Lizzie Kate mystery sampler on 32, which reminds me why I only want to do Aida these days. There are so many beautiful fabrics these days!
Fabrics are beautiful, but my eyes cannot handle it anymore. 😪
Hello from Detroit 😎 I cross stitch, crochet, knit, and a lot of other stuff. You did great on your first video! I also love the 80'-90's design's on aida. It's what I learned on and still love to do. I'm not a fabric or floss (or yarn) "snob" and it's refreshing to see a floss tuber who isn't promoting all the latest trends or expensive materials that are out of reach budget wise for a lot of regular crafters. I subscribed, looking forward to your next vid ☺
Thank you so much. I still love dmc floss. I did like alot of the new stuff, but many of the patterns look alike to me. Especially the samplers. While they are all beautiful, the have a similar style. Glad to have you aboard. 🥰
You seem very comfortable, like you're talking with a neighbor who popped by. I felt like I was sitting on a sofa across from you listening to your story. I like Aida too as the eyes aren't what they used to be. ;-)
Thank you so much.
Loved watching your u- tube. I only work on aida . Can wait to see your next u-tube. stay safe and warm.
I prefer aida too, I'm currently using evenweave on my first heaven and earth full coverage design and its great for that but otherwise I'll stick with aida. Your the first floss tube I've watched :-) x
Thank you for watching. The quality of video gets better. Welcome aboard 😀
I love to knit & give to those less fortunate as well...it's helpful for both them and us
Hi Arti (I hope I spelled your name right) You SWEET GIRL 💐 It's so nice of you to think of the less fortunate. God Bless You ❤ You did a great job on this being your first video. Keep up the good work. We need to see more of your videos. I love 14 count Aida. Can't wait to see more of your beautiful projects. Good for you and your husband just traveling on the fly. My husband does the same thing. We're retired but he's been doing last minute trips for 10 years - I always have a project packed 🙂
I love when he comes home from work and wants to go on a trip. we have so many fun adventures.
Really enjoy your style and how you explain yourself. I think you do a marvelous and generous thing knitting for others! I live in Northern Maine and understand the cold. Anxious for your quilting videos as I too quilt, however I wish I had your drive to complete projects.😁That’s an excellent quality. Look forward to your next video. P.S. I have two Shitzus, Duncan’s 13 and Cricket is 6 1/2. She’s only about 9 lbs.😊 Stephanie
Thank you so much and welcome aboard. 😍
Hi, just found your video and will be checking out your others. I'm glad you showed Sunshine and Shadows, I stitched it in 1988 (still not framed) and over the years lost the chart and had forgotten the name. I have only come back to cross stitch in the last year (after a 30 year break) as I couldn't concentrate on my knitting. Cheers from Australia.
I love anything prairie schooler. But this is one I always wanted to do. 🤩
Enjoyed your video. I live in southwest Michigan. I also stitch primitive , country patterns. Love to make quilts also. I knit very little anymore. In the past I would knit socks. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you and welcome aboard. 🥰
I liked very much your video and the fact that you do not need to have a bunch of wips. Looking forward to see the next one...greatings from Spain Europe.
Thank you so much.
Great video. Nice to meet you and I am certainly going to be on the lookout for more. Your projects are just lovely. That Christmas sampler is just stunning.
Thank you so much. It is so nice to meet you too. 💓welcome aboard 😀
Love your video.
I'm living in hot Texas but born and raised in Coldwater, southern bottom of Michigan close to Indiana border. Love Aida it's all I stitch on. I too love floss tube but it's been sooooo enabling. ..... After my husband passed in 2016 unexpectedly I took up cross stitching again, thank God because it kept me busy. Happy Stitching
Just found your first Flosstube. Really enjoyed it. Look forward to your next. I also usually work on one project at a time and looking forward to the next.
God Bless you….great video……will watch again
Love your generosity with your hats and mittens. The world needs more folks like you.
❤❤❤
Hi Artie, I’m not a big watcher of flosstube. Honestly, I have other things to do than listen to others drama in their lives. Having said that, I did enjoy yours, your voice isn’t over the top obnoxious, you don’t rattle on about something foreve, that has nothing to do with stitching, you stay on subject, pleasantly say what you have to say & you’re done. You were in & out in about 30 minutes & I appreciate that! I enjoyed your field trip to the Stitching Bee, I’m in La Crosse, WI, area, so I have used them as a LNS, at times. I haven’t been there yet, it would be a weekend trip for us, and that’s not happening until winter goes away! Back to your first video...many years ago, I was spitting words out under my breath, I’d been repeatedly making the exact same mistake, in my needlework a number of times. A very dear friend was within earshot, playing with our infant, and overheard me. What she said to me, I’ve carried with me for over 30 years, and hold it near in my heart. What she said, and she was a crafter, too, and she said to me, “never mind your mistakes”. I’m thinking, WHAT! But the rest of it makes sense. She said she’d been told, very young, that mistakes or the “oops”, are our way of showing God that we are not his equal, that we are mere man, and are less than he is, we are human and we do fumble once in awhile. I’ll never forget that. So now, I leave a mistake or 2 in my pieces. I may not know I’m leaving them, most of the time, and if there aren’t any, well than, there aren’t any. So, don’t worry about Mr. Frog, unless he’s in a place you can’t ignore, just work those little things in and keep on moving. It’s hard at first, especially when you catch the right away. But you’ll get the hang of it. You’ve probably seen me running around the groups trying to pick up & dust off the stitchers that have buried themselves in dirt because they made a stupid mistake. I tell them all, ‘it just means your not Gods equal’, and you're adding your own personality to your piece. So, all in all, build up your work, don’t down play them because you’ve added your special touch! I enjoyed listening to you! Who knows, being in somewhat close proximity, maybe we’ll run into one another sometime. Take care, be safe out here, stay warm and most of all happy stitching! Lynn
Thank you for all the kind words. My life is pretty boring. So no drama here. Just stitching and a few funny stories. 😄 I'm pretty good with my mistakes. I know they are there. But better done than perfect.
@@thevintagestitcher2022 I’ll admit, I ramble when I write! 😂 I like your saying, “better done than perfect”! Years ago I put a project away cause I couldn’t find the mistake. Took it out about 10 years later & was bound & determined to finish it, at any cost! So I worked at it, blended things in & got it done-never to find the mistake. Once I got the FFO back, I had a quilt finish around it, right there, in front of my face was the mistake!!! Couldn’t believe it! It was meant to be! On a side note, it was one of Stoney Creeks designs of the “Our Father”! Take care. It’s been lovely chattingwith you! Lynn
Enjoyed your first video! I too am a monogamous stitcher. Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you so much 💓
I couldn’t resist watching you when I read “Vintage Stitcher” as I’m all about the love of vintage everything. You made a great first flosstube! Looking forward to what you share in the future. Stay warm!
I am so glad I found you! I looked for "vintage cross stitch" because I find myself drawn to vintage patterns rather than the new things I see here on UA-cam just because I like old stuff. I am just beginning cross stitch and also like aida because I like the tidiness of those little boxes and have found myself feeling overwhelmed when flossers talk about even weave and linen when I'm just learning. Thanks!
Welcome aboard 😀
Great job! Sorry I just found your video :) I subscribed and am looking forward to your next update!
Thank you and welcome aboard
Love your new channel. Joy Noel is beautiful! I march to my own drum too! Ha. I only stitch on one project at a time - makes me anxious to even think about a stack of things. ❤️
Thank you for the kind words. Right now I have a pile of work to start also.
I too only work on Aida and nothing smaller than 16 ct. Every flosstube I watch they are stitching on all sorts of fabric that I never heard of. Also cannot figure out how they see where to stitch. I love the look of the tiny stitches, but I cannot do it. I too usually only have two projects going in cross stitch. If I start working on something it’s because I either need it for a gift, or it’s something I want to decorate with. Why have so many projects and never finish anything. I do not buy kits either. First I think they are overpriced, especially when they are using the expensive floss. I am a DMC person. Will definitely keep watching your channel.
You sound like my kind of stitcher. I do surge of fancy flosses once in a while. Just because they are fun and pretty. But most of my projects are dmc.
Enjoyed your first Flosstube! Thanks for sharing with us. I wish I had your willpower to stick to one stitching project at a time. I have so many WIP’s and it does stress me out at times! Looking forward to more of your vids!! That Joy Noel sampler is beautiful!! Kevin in FL
Thank you. It is tempting to start all my new projects. But I do kit them up and get them ready for stitching. That helps curb it until I can stitch it.
Loved your first video. I grew up in Wyandotte MI, just outside of Detroit. I too quilt and knit along with cross stitch. My goal for this year is to finish as many quilt UFO's as possible. Also, I don't know if it is me or what, but all the sampler WIP's and patterns you showed were backwards.
My husband grew up in Pontiac. So we go down every so often to see the changes in that area. I figured out the mirror feature on my phone but video #8. Thank you for watching. 🥰
I knew immediately from your slight "accent" that you were from the UP or Wisconsin. I grew up near Iron Mountain (Norway) and will always be a Yooper at heart. Your projects and future projects are great. And what a wonderful ministry you have with your hats and mittens. I know how needed it is up there.
I hope you make many, many more flosstube videos. I enjoyed your first one so much, you are a natural. I loved all your projects and I will be watching for all future videos, including quilting or knitting and of course stitching. I admire your work to try and keep the kids warm for your Michigan winters. There is a lovely lady in our church who crochets scarves (sometimes 400 in a year) for people that come to our food pantry. She also makes adult size and kids size and we all contribute to her yarn supply. People need all the help they can get sometimes. Be seeing you again soon I hope!! Keep crafting!
Nice to meet you I am in Eaton rapids Michigan - just south of Lansing! Be well and stay warm!🌸💞
Nice to meet you too. Welcome aboard
Enjoyed your video! I like to think I am a sane stitcher as well, especially as I get older, 1-3 projects at a time suits me fine. I've been stitching since I was a teenager in the 70s, then stopped in the 90s to pursue other crafts and now have recently started again and pulled out all that 80s and 90s stash, so I better like those things because that's what I have, lol! The only "vintage" patterns I have that I really don't think I can update are all the geese and teddy bears, no longer my taste! But thankfully I have lots of samplers and 20+ year old floss to keep me busy. Your charity work is very touching, bless you! Be kind, spread love and find peace, that beautiful! Will watch more of your videos, thank you so much!
Thank you for the kind words. No geese or teddy bears for me either. But samplers are perfect. 🤩
My husband was stationed at KI Sawyer back in the ‘74 the snow is insane there an seems like winter lasted forever. The bridge between always made me so nervous when we traveled to Indiana and West Virginia to visit family. We hope to make a trip one day back up to Marquette to see how much it’s changed. Enjoyed your video. I’m a Aida girl also but I do get that crazy urge to try 25/28 counts but it never works out.
I don't think KI sawyer is an air force base anymore. They turned the housing into low income housing. Marquette is a fun town. We go there often.
I’m having a Funtime watching your videos from day one. What a treat for me. Much love Gail x
❤❤❤
I liked your first flosstube! Thank you for the Aurifil note and really liked the Susan Ache pattern.
Great first flosstube. We are from the same mold. One small one large and get them done.
Exactly! Better done than perfect. 😃
LOVE YOUR FLOSSTUBE!!!!! I, too, am a Michigander. I live in Royal Oak, a suburb of Detroit. My daughter has a cottage in the middle of the state. We try to get to the upper peninsula every summer. Love your stitching.
I couldn't tell you were nervous or anxious at all. Just found you today and am making my way through your videos. I used to only stitch one thing at a time. I recently came back to cross stitching after many years of not doing it. All the creators I watch on You Tube have enabled me to get started again and to have many projects going. My youngest son goes to Michigan Tech in Houghton, MI. We may drive by where you live on our trips up there. We live in Northern Illinois.
Yes you will probably drive through my town. Houghton is a great town. So much to do. And a ton of history. Are you heading up for the Ice Festival?
@@thevintagestitcher2022 No, not this year. We went the weekend after the festival his first year there. We might try it next year, provided the world goes back to normal. Next year will most likely be his last unless he goes for the Accelerated Masters program. I'm trying to remember the road numbers we are on in Michigan when we go up there. I haven't been since August. My husband has done the trips to get him and take him back for breaks so far this school year. His first year there I went to get him for Christmas break and ran into a blizzard. It took me an extra hour to get to Houghton that night. I try and avoid the winter trips now.
I just viewed your first video. So nice to meet you. I had to stop the video to see if I could find the Prairie Schooler Sunshine Shadow ! I have a couple Amish stitches from the 90's that I did and this would go well with those. I also have always wanted to do the Kathy Barrick Heaven and Nature !! I am your neighbor in Minnesota ..... Brrr. I know exactly what you mean by cold temps.
Hopefully I get everyone digging in their stashes. I really love the older patterns. They are all the ones I couldn't afford, because I was a young mom and we were newly married.
You seem to be mine kind of stitcher. I'm a vintage stitcher due to my age (76) and the years I've been stitching. I love aida too, especially since my eyes are so old. And I'm learning so much on Flosstube. I'm so glad I've found someone who stitches the way I do.
Thank you. It is always so nice to hear that I am not the only one. I am having so much fun with flosstube. ❤
Hello from Russia. Thank you for the video. Frankly speaking you are the first english-speaking flosstuber whom I really liked. You are sincere. Your samplers are gorgerous. Stiching samplers is not that popular with Russian stichers. I think I will watch your videos with pleasure. About 20 years ago I was in the USA and even saw lake Michigan. 😀
That is so nice of you to say. I don't do only samplers. I love a bit of everything. Lake Michigan is beautiful. Any shore you are on, it is amazing. Welcome.
@@thevintagestitcher2022 Thank you.
Loved this video! I’d like to know how you decide alternate colors for your cross stitch projects. I am just coming back to cross stitch after about 30 years and left off when my kids were little so this is a whole new world of design aside from stitching cute little teddy bears. Thank you for your knitting for the children in your area. Shows you have a generous and sincere heart❣️
I usually just wing it. I change out similar colors just different tones. More to match my home.
I love everything you said and showed! Well, I do have over 100 wips but besides that! My parents live in Michigan as well. I am an 18 ct aida girl. I also am a total Jeremiah junction/cross country stitching fan!! Can't wait to see more from you!
Thank you so much. I havevsi many plans for all my projects. Awe... if only I had more time. 🤣
@@thevintagestitcher2022 story of our lives right?? You are so sweet to make hats and mittens. I love that idea!
I only stitch on aida!
me too!
I'm with you! I love these patterns. I have the prairie schooler Sunshine and shadows done and adore it so much.
I work on aida and love it. I live ab out 35 miles from the Mackinac Bridge. I also knit, crochet and quilt. Stay safe and healthy. I know about snow we received about 10 or 11 inches since Friday. Walk in Peace.
Great job! We have much in common! Besides stitching, I also quilt and knit, as well as crochet and weave. I live in lower Michigan but I lived in the UP for 6 years, in Newberry, so I understand the cold and snow! If you have been to a quilt retreat in Garden, we may have even met! Unlike you, I am not monogamous in any of my crafts. I have many WIPs and UFOs in stitching, quilting and knitting. I love your Susan Ache project and immediately downloaded it. I will change the colors some, but can’t wait to start it!
I enjoyed your video.. you are a realist and thank you for that! I also love Aida. I stopped doing cross stitch probably 20 years ago and also fell into that flosstube rabbit hole.. lol I recently just started getting new supplies as I am a retired teacher and let my students stitch in free time. They checked out charts like books. I didn't always get them back and that's ok I look forward to your quilting vids I also quilt and am self youtube taught... God bless you for your hats and mitten projects and you are absolutely right.. Children should feel poor...I love that
You just mentioned something I could do to give back. I knit but not a great knitter . Maybe I can find someone to teach me a mitten and hat pattern to give to children. I need to give this some though...thanks for the idea!
Lovely first video. Very nice to meet you. Looking forward to seeing more of your finishes.
Hello. Nice to 'meet' you. I really enjoyed your video and look forward to others. Thanks for sharing your time and some if your heart with us.
You are so welcome. I am having so much fun. I love connecting with other stitchers.
I love ‘ Sunshine and Shadow’ is one I love. So what a wonderful find. Maybe one day I may find this too. Blessings and happy stitching.
Hello ! and welcome to Flosstube. I live in Perry Township, between Lansing and Flint here in Michigan. I too love the primitive, vintage look. Love your projects so far. I also make hats, mittens and scarves but donate them to the homeless shelter. These I do while watching TV. I buy my yarn when on sale/clearance or at garage sales in the summer and make mine out of funky color combos. Warm is warm. My husband's people are from Water's Meet in the U.P. and he went to Northern U. Happy to connect with someone up there. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Stay safe, warm and happy stitching !
Thank you for the warm welcome. We have friends in Watermeet. We camp up there often in the summer. My knitting is mostly done on car trips. It keeps me awake. Lol
Your channel was such a great find, guess I'll have to thank the UA-cam algorithm for that, hahah! Beautiful projects, thank you for showing them and I love your relaxed approach to crafting - will be fun to see you work on some of those vintage patterns, too! I only cross stitch these days, but I have a history with knitting as well, going back all the way to my teens in the 80s. But I am NOT a fast stitcher so that particular craft takes up a giant piece of my free time - it's too much fun! 😁 Stay warm up there in Michigan! I'm from Finland so it's been freezing here, as well, but I don't mind, it's amazing to have a proper, snowy winter again after last year's horridness of rain and darkness for five months straight...!
I’m a Minnesota cross stitcher 🤔.. did that sound right? 😊 I use both Aida and evenweave fabrics according to the project that I’m working. Welcome to the best of the best stitching blogs on media! Love your video :) Thank you! Sunny, Duluth 💖✨
Thank you so much for watching. And welcome aboard 😀
Your first video was wonderful! Congratulations on all of your knitting for children! Blessing!!!
Great first video. I cross-stitch, quilt, crochet, and am learning to knit. I also use Aida and love it. You are a beautiful stitcher. I am looking forward to your next video. Take care.
I have just collected and started a pattern from 1984. It just is so simplistically beautiful. I just love what you’re doing to help your community. Happy crafting.
I love the older vintage patterns. 😍
Love your first Flosstube, looking forward to the next one. I like stitching on Aida as well. I have gotten some 25 - 30 count fabric to try but it seems like I gravitate back to 18-20 count Aida.
Have a Blessed and Stitchy Day!
Just found your flosstube. Welcome from the middle of Michigan.
Hello Michigander 👋👋👋
Enjoyed very much your video today. I also am an aida stitcher. Your Christmas sampler is gorgeous!
I also knit hats for donation; we live in a cold weather state too; there is much need here due to covid unemployment. I have some of those little left over balls too but I dislike making mittens. I always have trouble with thumb gussets. I knit mostly hats, small shawls, and cowls.
Great Video !!! I too prefer Aida. Subscribed immediately....Your personality shines thru and your eyes are gorgeous.
Awe thank you. 😊
Enjoyed your video. I am a multi crafter also. It is hard to have time for everything. Take care.
Yay - another Yooper stitcher! Born and raised Yooper here - born in Newberry, lived in the Soo, went to school at NMU and my parents had a summer cabin near Baraga. Who else would recognize those tiny towns?? I'm in Ohio now, near family, and happened to see your new thumbnail on UA-cam come up. Didn't know the pictures of your hands would be doing that "lower pensinsula looks like a mitten" gesture, along with the crooked fingers of your other hand trying to look like the U.P. Thanks for the laugh. I admire your focused stitching - I've just come back to stitching after a few years away taking care of my elderly parents, so I have more than a few in some stage of progress. Welcometo UA-cam - I look forward to hearing some of your Yooper stories!
I know all of those towns. We love the soo. Hubby is a "boat nerd". So we spend time over there every summer to watch the boats. Thank you for the warm welcome.
Hi Artie. I so enjoyed your first flosstube. I live in Oneida County Wisconsin . Not all that far away. I have a grandson that is attending Michigan Tech so we get to the UP once in awhile. I also am a quilter, knitter and cross stitcher. You will do fine with your channel. I’m sure. I subscribed and will get notifications when you’re on.
Really enjoyed your video. Welcome. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Welcome to Flosstube! Thanks for the tip on the Aurifil patterns. Those Susan Ache patterns look fun, and now I have an excuse to try some new threads. And I'm with you on the weather. I'm in Chicago and I would hibernate (and stitch) until spring if I could. Thanks, and happy stitching!
So glad you found the patterns. I love her style. I only work out of the house 2 days per week. And hibernate the other 5. I am not a winter girl. 🏄♀️🏄♀️🏄♀️
Hi from South Africa, great video and look forward to watching you again and again. I also enjoy changing colors and fabric to suit my home ... and being in SA and where I live, I don't have much choice of fabric except Aida. An off cut of linen comes into the little shop just on the odd occasion. Love your taste of patterns!
You are definitely my kind of stitcher! Great video. Can’t wait to see your quilting.
Welcome to floss tube! I think you'll find you're right at home. I also like some of the vintage stitches, especially old sampler charts which I also switch out the colors to make it more my style. Your knitting is wonderful and I'll bet so appreciated. I'll look forward to seeing your next video, and I like your words to live by.!
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment.
How nice to meet you! Your hat and mittens project is so touching, God bless you for your kindness! The world needs more of that!
I agree. The world needs more kindness. We all have the ability to spread love. 🥰
You never looked at the camera. You'll see what I mean when you watch this back. I like your energy! You have a bright personality and I enjoyed your flosstube.
Nice to meet you! You have some fabulous projects lined up! Joy Noel is gorgeous! I loved your video and am so thankful for all of you flosstubers who share your passion for all things stitchy! Thanks so much. Stay safe and happy stitching.
Thank you for such a warm welcome. 💗
You did wonderful on your first floss tube. I have many wips but this year I am trying to finish some of the old ones. Happy stitching!
Yay! Another Michigander! 😊 I live in lower west Michigan, in Grand Rapids. I love that you only have a couple projects at a time and also that you stitch other things. I love flosstube, but sometimes you see the same thing over and over, so it’s definitely nice to see something different. Looking forward to more of your videos. Oh! I also have a Shih Tzu! They are the best dogs.
I have been ordering a bunch of new old patterns of Facebook destash sites. Can't wait to show everyone. Shitzu are great dogs.. Duchess is very lovable. And very well behaved as far as house manners. She is very suited for us.
Welcome to Flosstube! I am an "Amish" needlecrafter in that all my projects have a mistake somewhere...lol. If you didn't know, the Amish purposely build in an error into their work because only God is perfect. Works for me! I cross stitch, quilt, knit and do punch needle. Love the primitives.
Thank you for the warm welcome. I having so much fun. I have heard the Amish rule of building in a mistake. I have never had to do a mistake on purpose. But I always say a prayer over my projects during the last stitches of a project. I love the many traditions of needlearts.
Love your view on stitching...stitch what you want & love...thats me...I don't do flosstube videos but I enjoy watching them...it seems once one flosstubers do something they all do it...I like different,if that makes sense.
I love that you knit items for the less fortunate,that is a blessing to the people getting them,God bless you for it!
Happy Stitching...😊
Your word are so kind. I have always gone in my own direction. I want others to know it is ok. Happy stitching to you also.😃
Loved your video! I enjoy seeing different patterns and projects. You are so sparkly. I admire your knitting projects. I hope to learn someday. Great to see your compassion for others.
Oh my gosh your christmas sampler is gorgeous! My mom and I just started a knitting and cross stitching podcast. We love stitching on Aida. Aida stitchers unite!!!
I will check you out. 😀
Just now catching up with you. I love the old "classic" 80's and 90's sampler charts also and have been accumulating a few. Recently got into the Chester County Collection also and cant wait to start a couple of them. Now off to watch the rest of your videos, Kristy.
I love your videos and your style. Those old samplers are great. I find myself drawn to them. Beware, some of my first videos are rough. But they get better. 😛
@@thevintagestitcher2022 Thank you so much. I know what you mean, I feel like a goof after watching mine but I keep making them anyway. At least we are in good company.
I loved your video. I’m like you in many stitching ways. I only have a few WIPS and I love many new designs but am drawn to the older patterns and fabrics. I love what you do to help children in need.
I tend to go through phases with my stitching and sewing. That is the fun part. Change keeps us growing. Thanks so much for watching.
Just discovered your flosstube and enjoyed your video! I’m a stitcher, quilter, and (rarely) knitter too, and having too many WIPs makes me antsy. I’ve been repurchasing a few vintage charts from the 80s on eBay. So fun! I had foolishly given away all my cross stitch stuff years ago, and now I stitch every day. 🙂
I have done the same thing of giving away stash that I wish I had kept. But live and learn 😌
