Brenda you’re such a stitching machine. You choose the most beautiful projects to do ❤❤
Thank You Jenny!!! I would have nothing to stitch without the talented designers who create the patterns!!!!!
Brenda - I'm so happy that you're pleased with your gift; it was such a joy to stitch it for you and I appreciate your kindness. I really love the frame your dad made and how great the two Blue Flower pieces look in there. I definitely think you need to send a picture to Jeannine as I'm sure she'll love them as well and want to show off the finish on her Floss Tube.
Thank You Debby!!!!!!! It is the most stunning thing I have ever seen. And I have hiked to that arch with my family, so it is doubly meaningful to me. What a generous gift :) I have a friend who knows Jeannine and eats lunch with her regularly. She showed her a picture of the finish :)
@@Handworkmaniac I'm so glad I picked such a meaningful piece to stitch for you. My daughter is a great photographer and took a picture of the arch when they visited last year; I know have a framed copy of her photo so it reminds me of making that. How fun that your friend know Jeannine and could share with her. I'm sure Jeannine loved it as she loves the stitching communities creativeness!
Congrats on all your finishes in 2023! I wish I could stitch as fast as you do. I was so excited to see "Lost No More" and "American Sampler" completed. Both are exquisite designs.
Thank You Sherry!!! I am sooo happy those two are completed and turned out so well :)
I was writing as I watched but lost it all. But I have so many favourites! But lost no more pulls at my heartstrings. Have been looking for even the chart but hard to find. And congratulations on your last finish! And it looks amazing how you changed it. Now to get my tea and thread my needle to my easiest stitch so can watch more than stitch your wip parade!
Thank You Cindy!!! Ohhhh, that is so frustrating when it all disappears!!!
I'm a relative newcomer to your Flosstube but today I caved and sought out The Colours of Water (okay I might have added a couple of other charts as well since shipping to the southern hemisphere can be extremely costly 😁). That piece has been calling to me ever since I first saw it. You have made me very happily enabled. Now on to the WIPs.
Thank You!! I soo enjoyed stitching that piece. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :) And so glad you found some other charts to keep it company on its journey to you!!! :)
Ive started the Au fil des Nichoirs, its sooo cute 😍🤗🙏 you have a tonn stunning stitching, i love your calmness and good energie thank you. Regqrds from Norway, Gurli🇳🇴😍🤗
Thank You Gurli!!! So glad you joined us on the birdhouses :) I love working on that one :)
Hi Brenda! Oh, but you finished a lot of pieces in 2023! How fun! And they are all so lovely! I enjoyed seeing all of your projects and your progress! Thanks for sharing!
Thank You Lisa!!! Have a fabulous stitchy day!!!
You are so brave to go to the birdhouse on the other end. Eep! I got scared and decided to just stick close to the ones I already have. I have a history of faulty counting. The egret tiles on the right remind me of Disneyland. The cobblestone kit is so pretty too. I mean they all are. Love the thankful bag. 45 finishes is insane!!! You are amazing!
Thank You Julie!! I totally loved yours and Alyssa's WIP parade!!! It was so fun to see them all again. They are like old friends that I want to check up on :)
My favourites are the snowy day. The bird houses and the red door. Beautiful
Thank You Joanne! You are making me want to work on them!
Hi Brenda. I'm sorry you had a cold, but this was such a fun video to watch. Thank you for filming. Your gauze stitchy kindness is stunning! And all of the finishes are wonderful.
I'm hanging out for the Rocky Mountain quaker release in fall. ⚘️
Thank You Margaret!! That Rocky Mountain Quaker piece is a beautiful pattern :)
❤❤❤❤ Ohhhhh Holly Guacamole!!! Brenda!!!! I cannot tell you how impressed I am 😲😲😍😍 eiii you do live by your UA-cam handle haaaa🤪 I LOVE ALL the finishes ! I always learn new things with you specially how to work with varigated floss, I was so scared of using in the past and I am getting over that and just having fun ! Like you did with that flower 🌸 wow! I am so happy for you that you completed you oldest WIP since I’ve watched you I know you were soooo ready to be done with it ! BTW I wanna be you when I grow up in my crafting 🤪 I loved how you changed the water to gave it movement. Wow Brenda your plans ! I might need to join Colette’s 12 month SAL on time looks like y’all powering through these WIPS ♥️♥️♥️ your dads wood work is so elegant and the lake /fishing scene will look so cool on it. Love you friend I am your fan. Be safe and get better soon ❤️🩹
Thank You Milka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are making me hungry for guacamole, lol!!! I am so glad you are having fun with variegated floss :) And yes, you should definitely join Colette's SAL! Or pick your own piece and divide it into 12 :) Happy New Year!!! I am feeling much better today, but my voice is getting worse, lol! Today is my first day back to work after my Christmas break, sigh.
@@Handworkmaniac well I am glad to hear you are getting better at least sorry for work !!! Eiii 2 more years !
I love your videos. It's inspiring to see all of your wips. I have dozens of charts I want to work on. I call them WATS....for "want to stitch." They are waiting for me to find time to work on them. They are not works in progress yet (WIPS) because I haven't started them yet, but I am kiting them up as I can afford the fabric and threads. Is it so fun to make plans on what I will stitch next. There are so many beautiful charts on the market now. So many creative folks making lovely charts. And I want to buy them all! Thank you for making your videos. Your WIPS are awesome. Makes me want to go to my box of WATS and turn them into WIPS.
Thank You Donna!!! WATS---I love it!!!!! I too have several totes full of WATs :) I think of them as little packages of future happiness just waiting to be started :)
Your needle this year was like rocket🤩 I love all you works and your fabric choices are amazing ❤️
Thank You!!! It was a great stitchy year :)
New to your channel; delighted to have found you! Such beautiful work, and so generous in your sharing of tips and techniques. I'll go back in time to see more!
Thank You Cheryl!!!
So many gorgeous pieces, but I adore Santa's House! And the birdhouses are also so darling! Such fab finishes... congratulations on all your hard work!
Thank You Kathy!!! I am sooo enjoying that Santa's house :)
I love the the FFOs in your dad's frame. My dad loved to work with wood, too, and I treasure the things he made for me. Congratulations on all of the finishes in 2023!! 🪡👠
Thank You!!! I love the way his workshop smells :)
@Handworkmaniac I totally understand.. the smell of Mt dad's shop makes me smile just thinking about it!
Lord have mercy!! You get so much done!! I believe that you have learned how to stitch in your sleep!! 😂😂😂
Thank You Kathryn! I will have to ask my husband if I have been sleep walking! LOL
I use Treasure Braid with the white on Christmas afghan. It gives the snow a sparkling affect.
What a wonderful idea Deidra!!! Your afghan will be gorgeous!!
Great stitching. Happy New Year.
Thank You Jacqueline!
Your works are beautifully done. Thanks for sharing.🪡
Thank You Lynn!
Wow! You finished so many this year! They are all so beautiful! You should be happy with all those finishes!
Thank you Dee!! Yes, I am very happy, it was a great stitchy year :)
Can I get the conversion for Hoity Toity? Omg the amount of times I’ve had to stop your video to search these charts out whoa lol hugs thank you for sharing.
Sure!!! LOL, so sorry about all that stopping and searching!!! LOL

Thank You Jeanette! You have such a calm lovely design aesthetic, thank you for all your amazing designs!!!!!
@@Handworkmaniac Oh my, thank you!
Wow Brenda what a stunning finish parade. You give me hope that i might eventually finish my oldest wip! Your American sampler is a beautifully rich piece, and a great way to finish your finish parade😅. Also loved your New Normal, your colour choices were very restful to look at. I am blaming you for sending me down a Jardin Prive rabbit hole😊. I have followed your stitching progress since your first flosstube, but dont comment often, however as a newly retired individual i am hoping to get my stitchy fingers into gear and get some finishes too. Thank you so much for sharing, your love for this craft shines through all you do. Best wishes for 2024
Thank You!!! I recognize your user name and always appreciate your comments :)
Oh, and congrats on retirement!!!!!!!!!! Wishing you lots of free hours to stitch!!!
Do you ever lose your stitching bc mojo? I’m in a funk.
Hi Kim!!! Rarely, usually it happens when I am dealing with something extra traumatic in my personal life. I do get burnt out on certain pieces though. When that happens, I think of all my WIPs and choose one that sounds fun, or I know would be easy soothing stitching. But losing your stitchy bug is such a bummer!!!
I love these video's they are my favorite time of the year. Im about to do the American Sampler, by Sandy Orton. But im pretty scared of the specialty stitches. Would it be possible you could make a video showing us how you do them? That would be very appreciated.
Thank You Pauline! Gosh, I don't have the set up to do tutorial stitching videos. But I know you can do a search on UA-cam for a particular stitch name and usually find several fabulous videos that show how to do it :)
@@Handworkmaniac its okay it was worth asking. I will try a search for them when i get around to them. Thank you for the tip.
I just discovered your channel and have found so much Great information already. I'm in search of a lapstand and you've provided so much great information on other videos. I had a question about the multi-colored sampler pattern you showed at the end when you talked about the pandemic. Did you say that was from long dog samplers? I took a look on their site and could not find it. it is beautiful and I love the color choices you made!
Hi Stacey! I probably called it the wrong name, lol. The pattern is named "The New Normal" and yes by "Long Dog Samplers". It is charted as monochromatic, but I chose my own colors :)
Thank you so much! She has so many wonderful samplers on that site.
Wow! you were really productive last year! Great video :)
Thank You!!!
Brenda I’d like you to join in on your Halloween sampler SAL. 24 months is a doable! Can you share please
Hi Steph! Yay!!! Yes! I will take a picture of how I divided it up when I get home :)
If you could email me at AdnerbYakJ@gmail.com I can send you the picture :)
Your work is so beautiful! Happy New Year 🎉
Thank You Judy!
Are you coming back? Will you be updating us on your May projects for Mania?
Hi Dorothy! I did finally make an update video, life just got busy for a minute :) And I am hoping to make a Maynia video tonight or tomorrow. Thank you for checking on me :)
@@Handworkmaniac Quite the coincidence...made a comment and then an episode appears. Looking forward to the Maynia episode.
Brenda, where did you purchase the paste board box for My Stitcher's Heart? What count did you stitch it on to get it to fit correctly?
Hi Beth! I used the called for fabric, which I am pretty sure was 32ct. And I went to the website listed on the pattern to buy the box. I just followed the directions on the pattern :)
@@Handworkmaniac I reached out to the designer. They gave me a link to where I could purchase it. I ended up ordering 2.
North Wind Santa with bunnies I found on Etsy, but it was no longer available. Wah.
Hello!! It is called "2020 prairie schooler santa" and you can find it at 123stitch.com and many other online cross stitch stores :)
@@Handworkmaniac Oh, thank you!
That arch is absolutely gorgeous!
I sooo agree!!!!!
Thank you for the lovely video.
Thank You!!
Fabulous Brenda :)
Thank You Sian!
You NEVER cease to amaze me. If anyone took on what you do, I wouldn’t expect to see progress. But you DO and FINISH! Amazing.
Thank You Kim!!
tout est magnifique bravo so beautiful
Thank You Nadine!!! :)
Loved your WIP parade!! All your charts are gorgeous!! Congratulations on finishing so many projects in 2023. Brenda your needle is on fire!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank You!!!! LOL
Amazing stitching! You have some fantastic organization. I love the last piece you showed and how you squeezed the words in and added another row to create balance. So creative! I love stitching on the birdhouse SAL. I started in the middle and just stitch a house a month. I think I would go crazy too if I stitched all the fence at once, but breaking it up works well. I still have to get it out this month but I have a few more weeks. Happy New Year to you!
Thank You Christy! So happy you are enjoying the birdhouse piece, I am too :) That is a great plan to start in the middle :) Happy New Year!
Some old friends in this finish parade! I'm glad to see both "Lost No More" and "American Sampler" done! You were working on both of them when I started watching your channel as one of the first floss tubes that I followed. You were very productive this year!
Thank You Karla!!! It felt sooo good to finish those two. And I will enjoy looking at them on the wall :)
I am so impressed that you picked those stitches out! I think I would have appliquéd over it and pretended it wasn’t there. 😂
LOL, depends on the day!!!
Oh my!! It is soo good to see you!! So hope your cold gets better!! I remember watching in 2020 when Lost No More was in its early stages. It is beautiful!!! All of yours are inspirational to me! It’s interesting how I’ve picked many of yours to work on this year! Santa’s House, Honey of a Tiny Town, Dimension’s Village, Keep on the Sunnyside…etc. Love that your dad makes your frames. They are stunning. I showed my husband and he is going to try to make some for me. We live in the mountains of NC with lots of oaks, maple, etc. I’m almost finished with A Perfect World by Scarlet House for my friend…and a local wood frame would make it a perfect gift!! I’m so excited about stitching this year’s projects! Your flosstubes have always meant so much to me!! Can’t wait til your next one! Happy New Year to You and Boss and Bossy Daughter!!💕
Thank You Susan!!! And Happy New Year to you as well!! Ohhhh, I bet A Perfect World is just gorgeous and a frame made by your husband would make it extra special :)
Your work is just amazing!! Can’t tell you how many time I paused video to study your finishes! Absolutely beautiful!! Happy New Year!
Thank You Joyce!!
Beautiful work!
Thank You Laura!
I love all your pieces shown. Halloween. Churchyard Christmas and Santa’s House. But, all are gorgeous.
Thank You!!!
❤❤🎉
Thank You Xan!!!
Wow you have stitched some beautiful things in the past year ❤love them all! It would be impossible to choose but your oldest wip is a WONDERFUL piece❤ Blessings always😊
Thank You Robin! I love that one as well :)
Brenda, I just love watching your flosstube channel. I feel like I'm walking through a stitching museum with all of the beautiful things you stitch! I lost count of how many gorgeous pieces I saw from you today. You're such an incredible stitcher! Thank you for sharing your work with us and inspiring (and enabling) us all!
Thank You Maureen! Such kind words :)
🧡🧡🧡
Thank You!!
❤
Thank You Devra!
What beautiful stitching and gorgeous projects! Congratulations on your many finishes.
Thank You Judy!
What a peaceful and enjoyable way to spend a rainy Saturday morning here in NC. I so enjoyed your video and your beautiful stitches. Now onto your WIP parade! Thank you for sharing.
Thank You Susan!!! Happy rainy day :)
Thank you for sharing your fabulous stitching. Many blessings for you and the family in the New Year.
Thank You Linda! Sending blessing wishes to you as well :)
Carolina Cross Stitcher and Pete’s Bee Skeps
does beautiful spools for the Tiny Towns.
Oooooh, thank you!!! I will go check them out :)
Great to see you again! Wish we had some snow here in Portland, Oregon, so that I could work on a snow project. So many wonderful finishes! My daughter and I are still getting great joy out of our Artisan stands! You are truly an inspiration with your variety of projects!
Hi Desiree!! I am so glad you and your daughter are enjoying the Artisan stands!!! I still love, love, love mine :) You just need to do a rain project! Or maybe a sun project that you work on when the sun comes out (that is more rare than rain, lol).
You have been like a house on fire with your stitching this past year. I think , because our big projects take a long time to finish , the small projects are necessary finishes to keep us hopeful. Lol. Your Dad's woodwork is gorgeous and seeing your 2 projects on his wooden frame on your first finish is wonderful. I was glad to see it again! Finish parades are the best, so thank you for taking the time to make one. Living in Lubbock, Texas, we can't really do a snow day or rain day stitch, but I love the one you chose to do.❤
Thank You Lynn!!!!! You are so right, those smaller finishes keep us going on those huge ones!! You will just have to be creative and think of something else that happens in Texas, lol. Over a certain temperature? Under? Tornado warning? Heat Index? There has to be something, lol!!
All I can say is "wow". Love all your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Thank You Karin!
Happy New Year wow
Thank You Sandra :)
Holy cow, lady!! My head is spinning!! Congratulations! Lost no more is stunning!!
Thank You Connie! And sorry to make your head spin, lol!!
Beautiful finishes Brenda! And your Dad’s frames are stunning! Thanks for sharing, and wishing you another great year of stitching.
Thank You Beth!!! I love all the things my dad makes :)
Excellent!
Thank You Debra!
Fabulous finishes and can’t wait to see your WIPs progress.
Thank You Leslie!!
Love your hair, what a thick crowning head of glory!
Thank You, what a nice thing to say :)
I love seeing all your finishes! Thanks for keeping me company this morning, I’m working on The Mill House by Kathy Barrick!
Thank You Susan!! Ohhhh, that Mill House is amazing!!!!!
@@Handworkmaniac I’ve been stitching the stone house all week!!
❤. So many wonderful finishes!
Thank You :)
Your dad’s woodwork is so very nice. You are so lucky yo have him as your dad.
I sooo agree!!! I will tell him you said so :)
Happy New Year ! 🎈 Thank you for sharing 🥰
Thank You!! And Happy New Year to you :)
I’m deaf, what is the name of the books on the shelf that have houses, please
So glad you like that one Barbie! Kingdom of Books by Andrianna. I am guessing you either like to read or like Amsterdam, or both?
@@Handworkmaniac thank you so much!
52!! You are so scary!!😂
LOL!!!!!! Thank you, I think? Giggling.
Wow! Fabulous work!!
Thank You Ally!
First viewer !!
