As always, I enjoy your stitching and quilting and getting to know you more with each video. I'm grateful for so many things. I'm very grateful to have my vision and use of my hands. As strange as this may seem, I'm grateful for covid lock down otherwise I would not have learned about FlossTube and all the wonderful people beyond my small world. 😊❤
Wonderful video! Congratulations on your finishes. They are lovely! I am thankful for flosstube which keeps me up to date on new patterns and the ease of shopping for cross stitch supplies online. Happy stitching!!❤
Thank you for sharing!💚 I am grateful for the joy and calm that stitching gives me. I am especially grateful for the friends I have gained from crossstitching🥰 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am thankful for fellow dtitchers i have met locally through UA-cam! Pam and Steph helped with one group, and Fibertalk helped with the other people...and then I introduced them to each other! Yay!
Love all your projects and finishes! I also stitched the Thankful Thoughts several years ago and finished it on the Target easel. I love that one! I am thankful for my stitching hobby. I think hobbies are so great for mental well being. I am also thankful for flosstube for all the inspiration it gives! Happy stitching to you both! 🪡
Another great video, ladies. You've sure done a lot of crafting since your last video and everything you showed looks amazing. I'm thankful for being able to watch flosstube on my laptop while I stitch or just relax, it's so fun watching everyone's projects take shape.
I am thankful that my mother taught me to cross stitch. I have had the privilege of finishing several projects that she never had the chance to finish. Cross stitching brings me joy!!
The two of you do beautiful work in many crafts don't but pressure on your selves don't take the fun or relaxation out of your crafts again you do beautiful work and I really enjoy your floss tubes so be good to your selves and just do what feels good
Always great to see you ladies and enjoy another one of your flosstubes. Carol, I just love that snowman quilt, he's adorable. Also, Jen, I like the way you finished your primrose Halloween piece at your quilting retreat, great fabric choices and I love it on the hanger, very cute! Your question is great, and and a few things come to mind when I pause and think about why I am thankful for crossstitching. I think number one would be that I often think of my mom when I stitch because she is the one who introduced me to needlework back in the '70's when I was in high school. I am very thankful for the designers who are so creative and talented with their beautiful and clever patterns and charts. It's come a long way from the teddy bears and geese of the '70's and '80's. Also, I am very thankful to be retired and to have time to relax and enjoy cross stitching when I want. :)
I learned to sew and cross stitch when I was very young from my grandmother and her friend. Since then, I've explored many types of needlework but still consider counted cross stitch and needlepoint my favorites. I'm thankful that I have had a endeavor that has allowed me to work with beautiful designs, threads and fabrics for so many years.
Jen, your quilting progress at the retreat is incredible! Loved seeing both of your cross stitch WIPs, too. I am thankful for the means to travel to cross stitch retreats and the dedicated stitching time it provides. I hope you're having a good week :)
I have made many friends through cross stitch! I lost my best stitching buddy friend last February and have had to try to join more stitching groups! We had stitched together once a week for the last 4 years and I miss her terribly! I’m very thankful for my family who is always here to encourage and support me but none of them are stitchers so they don’t understand the special bond we shared! Great video as always! Love all your finishes and starts and WIPs! Have a great Thanksgiving!
Live about 2 hours from Yoder's been there several times. They have a good selection of fabrics. Thankful to watch floss tubers. And starting to share stitching with my daughter.
Thanks for the shout out! Congratulations on finishing the last Green Flip It, I bet the border will go fast! Loved seeing the panel quilt. I have a few panels in my stash but haven't tried quilting one yet. Belated thank you for your 60th episode! 🎉
I am thankful for being able to share cross stitch with my sisters. When I visit my sister in Florida we are able to go to a cross stitch shop, which is so cool. I do not have any place near me to shop for any cross stitch patterns, floss, or fabric.
Lovely flosstube (as always) and lovely question! Because my mother had alzheimers, I am grateful that I still have the mental clarity to stitch, and the physical capability to stitch. I try to keep my mind as sharp as a needle, lol. I also enjoy the calming effect (usually) that stitching has on me.
Hi Ladies Love everything that you show in your Video. Everything is so pretty. Congratulations on your Finish. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🙏🧵🪡🧵🍁🐿️🍂❤️
Hi Carol and Jen, I was happy to see you had loaded a new Flosstube. It seems so long between episodes! 😁 I am most thankful God gave me a Mom who taught me many needle arts, and that he endowed people with the ability to create designs for us to stitch. I am also thankful for you two and Flosstube. It’s so much fun to see you laugh together. My Mom passed away in 2003, but we had some time to visit each other in the years before that (I’m in Oklahoma, she was in Michigan). She taught me to cross stitch on stamped pillow cases when I was 8. I taught her to do counted cross stitch when she was in her late 60s. I’m thankful we could do that together.
Hello again, ladies. Thanks for another great stitchy visit. I am always so impressed by not only the fact that you are multi craftual, but how much you get done. We are so blessed that you share it with all of us. Jennifer, your Crystal Reindeer are turning out beautifully. On Dancer, might there be a stitch missing in the middle of the curve of sledding they stand on? The others have one but it may be it's too light to see on video. For the question, I'm thankful for the friends stitching has brought into my day to day life and for the chance to meet others on Flosstube. It's all been quite a blessing. Thank you, ladies. ❤
I am so thankful for all my stitchy friends through the years who have taught me so much. They have cheered me on and totally enabled me. I am grateful for membership in two organizations: American Needlepoint Guild and Embroiderer's Guild of America who have great local chapters. I have done some sort of stitching for over fifty years.
I'm the same way. I quilt and stitch but I will probably never hand quilt anything bigger than a mug rug. Lol! I love Yoder's and Lolly's! I also like Calico Point in Goshen. Their prices are really good. I am thankful that I am retired now and I can stitch a lot more as well as quilt.
I agree with you that if you are working with fabric and transforming it into any part of a quilt you are a quilter. It has taken me a lot of years to realize that. I've been quilting since I was about 13 and learned to handquilt by quilting with my paternal grandma. For several years I didn't have a sewing machine so I handpieced my first quilts and couldn’t afford (nor did I know about) a long armer to quilt it for me so I handquilted. Later I machine pieced several quilts on my sewing machine until it broke down and then went back to hand piecing. Now I have a great sewing machine and enjoy machine piecing and I actually machine quilted a small quilt a few years ago. I actually enjoyed that but I also enjoy hand quilting. Long story shorter, I have come to recognize that quilters all have parts of quilting that they enjoy and others that they don't (some of us like it all), but if you are creating a quilt in any way, you are a quilter.
I have to finish 22 books by December 31 to meet my Kindle 2024 reading goal. Besides being thankful for my spouse, our home, and our shelter cats, I am thankful for getting more active in the cross stitch community this last year. I started a Flosstube channel in February and joined an in-person stitch group a year ago. I belong to two other Zoom-only stitching groups. So I have more friends, I am learning more every month (despite cross stitching for 26 years this month), and have been to three retreats and one class in the last year. Going to Jingle Ball for the first time next month. When I go to the LNS, people say, "Hey Robin, this is "__". Can you tell them about stitchers in Salem (OR)?" And I do, although I need to get better about getting their email for our Salem Area Stitchers Zoom coordinator. I enjoyed hearing about your not wanting to stitch in hand or hand quilt. I stitch in hand and sometimes use a hoop if the pattern has beading or certain complications. My mom is a hand quilter and sewist (she wouldn't know the term, but it fits her). She is slowing down a bit at 87. She did crochet and cross stitch in the past, but I don't think she ever enjoyed them so much. She used frames with cross stitch. She hated knitting because of the unknitting. I hated hand quilting because I don't do twohanded so well and stabbed my fingers too many times.
I’m thankful for flosstube - hearing about retreats, shops to visit when I travel and meeting new people! My daughter and I belong to a stitch group and have a good time together ❤
I am thankful that I’m going to my first retreat on Thursday! I’ve gotten into Stitch Con twice and twice I had to cancel. So I’m thankful that it appears that I’m healthy, my family is healthy and I get to go!! I am also very thankful for flosstube, I feel like I’m stitching with friends when I watch. ❤
I am very thankful that I found flosstube and enjoy watching "my pretend friends" as my son calls the flosstubers. And I am thankful to have found my slow stitching friends locally that I enjoy stitching with!
Hi ladies. Thank you for the update. Congrats on finishing your pocket Dracula, Jen! I'm most thankful for my stitchy friend. Without her I wouldn't have been to a retreat or found a (sort of) local stitching group. I'm also very grateful to all the flosstubers who give up their time and put so much effort into making videos for the rest of us to watch. ⚘️
Great video! Jennifer how do you get so many projects done?? My goodness I’m exhausted after watching all your progress! Good job! So enjoyable to be with you two each month. I am so thankful for my local stitch shop The Silver Needle. I only live 5 minutes from the shop. So many of my stitchy friends run out of resource or get in a bind and have to wait on mail order or travel so I never want to take for granted how convenient it is for me to stay supplied. (But it does make me spend more! 🥴)
As always I loved your show! Love visiting with you two lovely ladies. Thanks so much for info on the candy corn design. I will try to track it down. I’m thankful that I found my way back to cross stitch after a 30 year reprieve. I can’t see that well anymore so I have to stitch on Aida cloth in 14 to 10 count. Really love Betsy Ross linen I think it’s 10 count. I do not attend any cross stitch retreats but I go to two quilt retreats a year and I take some Of my cross stitch blocks and make them into a quilt. I had a cross stitch shop in the 80’s so I have so many shop samples that are now becoming quilts. Quilt during the day cross stitch in the evenings. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Shirley
I am thankful for the wonderful cross stitch community I have gotten to meet! I'm also thankful you answered my question! I have found that our stitching community is so helpful and welcoming!
Beautiful finishes and WIPs. That reindeer quilt is so cute and will be fantastic when it's done. I am thankful for having such a wonderful hobby. It can whisk me away on bad days, inspire me on good ones, uplift my mood, bring joy and pleasure.
I also ordered Chantelle’s mystery box and agree it’s a wonderful box. I also like that they didn’t put not stitching items in the box. I’m thankful to be retired and able to stitch everyday even though some days it may only be 20 mins and able to share my love of cross stitch with my oldest daughter and dear friends!
Hi Carol and Jennifer, 👋 stitching is another way to be creative. I don't know anyone else who stitches, so I quilt during the day and stitch at night (when I'm able). Thanks for another great video. 👏👏👏 Happy Stitching, Quilting, Crocheting and Knitting. ❤❤❤
Glad you liked the patterns for the spools! I’m grateful that I am retired and can stitch a lot in the day! Also grateful for this wonderful cross stitch community! 🫎
I am thankful for everything cross stitching related. The art of it , the community, the ability to create, so many things but this year I am so thankful for the love that I have received on my flosstube channel. The ability to share with others my crafting has been awesome. I also love watching all of the channels and seeing what others create. Some things are patterns I either have or already finished and other things that I will not stitch but love see how others have stitched them. ❤
Thanks to you for your flosstube! I'm thankful for the diversity & choice of styles. When I first did crosstitch 35 years ago, I wasn't aware of many of the designers & was limited to what was stocked in the craft store. Such a blessing to have online stores for those of us without an LNS.
I am just thankful for my stitching and quilting hobbies--they help me relax and calm me while my husband is going through cancer treatments. I am also thankful for all of you that take your time to share your creativity with us on Floss Tube. It provides a wonderful escape and inspiration.
Hi ladies. I am thankful for everything that I have. I love cross stitch so much and have for over 35 years. I have a great stash and love everything I have ever done! Love your jewelry Carol. Great stitching stuff today.
I'm so very thankful for this community! Through the community I've been able to attend retreats, made so many new friends, and have a network of people who really "get" my obsession with collecting cross stitch supplies! Thanks again for another wonderful video with all the eye candy!
I am thankful to be alive and well and actively stitching all the things. I'm not active in my needlework group but am thinking about going back in the new year. I do have a knitting group I'm active in donating to five major charities: rehabilitating veterans, a neonatal unit, Moffitt cancer ward, a retirement home and the 5th I can never remember...very satisfying to donate locally❤ I adore this community and how wonderful everyone is. I am so grateful to my mom Pollie who taught me everything I know (minus the loom knitting. She would approve!) I am still reading my wool embroidery books. Thank you bunches for the recommendations. I learned embroidery prior to cross stitch and would love to follow along. I may buy a kit just to see the whole shebang!
I have met a kindred spirit stitchy friend which is so wonderful. I'm thankful for being able to stitch myself calm because my life is very stressful these days. My Mom isn't able to craft anymore due to disabilities - we had such fun at quilt nights, etc. You two remind me of the fun we had. So I'm thankful for watching Flosstube which brings back wonderful memories and allows me to get my courage up to go on retreats on my own. Take care!
I am thankful that I have a local cross stitch store. I am also thankful for flosstube and all the enabling. I am most grateful that my daughters also share in this hobby.
I am thankful for my Mom who taught me to cross stitch on stamped pillow cases when I was 8 yrs old, and that I could teach her COUNTED cross stitch when she was 65. I am also thankful for you two. It’s so much fun to see you laugh together, and I appreciate that you share your accomplishments with us. It really is an encouragement to finish projects. I am also thankful for designers who provide us with all these beautiful things to stitch.
So thankful I have met you both and been able to attend your retreat all the way from South Carolina! Yes, you remembered and I really appreciate that you are thinking of my family and friends in NC and us here in SC trying to clean up after the hurricane. I love watching you both and seeing all your beautiful cross stitch pieces and those beautiful quilts and sewing projects too. Carol, your challenge quilt is so beautiful and the fabric is perfect for it. Hope to see you in the spring! Dottie
It is so very nice to be visiting with you both once again. There is. So much to be thankful for during the years I’ve been stitching….the new fabrics, fancy floss, Flosstubes, stitching with my best friend but mostly that I found your channel…..you both are the best!
I am thankful for stitching to give me peace. I care for my dad who has dementia and my brother who has Parkinson’s and MG. I look forward to coming home and crafting. I love your flosstube channel I find it refreshing. ❤
Great stitching and quilting. I love seeing all your projects. I’m thankful for all crafting communities. It’s evolved for me over the years. First was a scrapbooking group. Then I was very involved with a knitting group. And now cross stitch. Social media has made all the difference in connecting with people. I’m still in contact with women from all my groups but much more concentrated on cross stitch now.
I am so thankful for my stitching and quilting friends and the fun we have together. I also am grateful for the therapy my hobbies provide me. It saves lives!
Thanks for the video visit! Your projects, as always, are beautiful and fun to see. I'm thankful for so much related to cross stitch - that I can connect with other people who love stitching, and that I always have so many great projects to stitch for myself and as gifts. Gotta love having all the stash, too, so I can kit things up on a whim. Happy stitching!
I've cross-stitched on and off for years, coming back to it +++ in 2019 or 2020. I'm thankful for the new enthusiasm for this craft, and for wonderful and varied patterns that suit all tastes. I've fallen in love with reproduction samplers, geometric designs and monochromatic designs, but love to see what others work on and that's where floss tubes have been a blessing, as I live far from both an LNS and a group of stitchers. I'm also thankful for you two who share my love of quilting and knittng, so I get a taste of all 3 when I watch your floss tube. 🙂
I am happy to have recently met some wonderful stitchers who live close to me. Prior to my recent move I only had virtual stitchy friends, now I can go to local a stitchy group.
Love you two ladies. I'm late with my stitch directions but wanted to put in my 2 cents...up top right - down bottom left - up top left - down bottom right. 😊
Thanks for another enjoyable video. I am retired. I'm just grateful that I can stitch and multi-craft (quilting, sewing, crocheting, knitting, gardening and more). Luckily I don't have arthritis or other debilitating conditions in my hands and my vision is good. I am so thankful. I can't imagine not being able to craft! Happy stitching!
Well said, ladies! It's up there with people who say to me, 'You machine knit; it's not really knitting' (I hand knit too). Life is too short to worry about what's 'real' or not. I love your videos and gorgeous quilts! Your videos are always so inspiring to me, a beginner cross-stitcher. I have been doing needlepoint for years but just a few months ago turned to cross-stitch.
Were you in the shop in Houston when my dad looked at a machine quilted quilt on the wall and loudly said it wasn’t a quilt because it wasn’t hand quilted. One of the embarrassing moments of my life. He hand quilted a quilt for each of us four daughters.
Jen, just wondering why there's not a x dot in the curl of the sleigh on Dancer. Should there be one? I'm thankful that I'm able to stitch when I can in a home that's safe and warm. Just found out that I'm not going blind but I need better lenses to correct my double vision. And I'm thankful to be able to watch the two of you...❤❤
Always great to see the two of you. One question I have is, there were so many “commercials “ on this episode, is this going to be every episode? Not happened before so just wondering. Thanks.
Sorry about the ads, we don’t control that (and we are not monetized) - I’ve noticed the same, sometimes they put a lot of ads in one video and other times they don’t.
I'm thankful for the availability and variety of patterns, fabrics, and floss. And the Flosstubers who have enabled me over the past 6 years or so. 😊
I am grateful that all hand work calms and grounds me, I am physically able to do it and how much I learn watching UA-cam. Great projects ladies!
As always, I enjoy your stitching and quilting and getting to know you more with each video. I'm grateful for so many things. I'm very grateful to have my vision and use of my hands. As strange as this may seem, I'm grateful for covid lock down otherwise I would not have learned about FlossTube and all the wonderful people beyond my small world. 😊❤
I am thankful for all the friends I have made through stitching and the motivation to get projects completed!!
Wonderful video! Congratulations on your finishes. They are lovely! I am thankful for flosstube which keeps me up to date on new patterns and the ease of shopping for cross stitch supplies online. Happy stitching!!❤
Thank you for sharing!💚 I am grateful for the joy and calm that stitching gives me. I am especially grateful for the friends I have gained from crossstitching🥰 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am thankful for fellow dtitchers i have met locally through UA-cam! Pam and Steph helped with one group, and Fibertalk helped with the other people...and then I introduced them to each other! Yay!
Love all your projects and finishes! I also stitched the Thankful Thoughts several years ago and finished it on the Target easel. I love that one! I am thankful for my stitching hobby. I think hobbies are so great for mental well being. I am also thankful for flosstube for all the inspiration it gives! Happy stitching to you both! 🪡

I am thankful that my mother taught me to cross stitch. I have had the privilege of finishing several projects that she never had the chance to finish. Cross stitching brings me joy!!
The two of you do beautiful work in many crafts don't but pressure on your selves don't take the fun or relaxation out of your crafts again you do beautiful work and I really enjoy your floss tubes so be good to your selves and just do what feels good
I am thankful cross stitching and my quilt club girls ,My health enjoying all your cross stitch
Always great to see you ladies and enjoy another one of your flosstubes. Carol, I just love that snowman quilt, he's adorable.

Live about 2 hours from Yoder's been there several times. They have a good selection of fabrics. Thankful to watch floss tubers. And starting to share stitching with my daughter.
I'm thankful that I will soon be able to start my own flosstube and become a more active participant in the community. Happy Thanksgiving ladies.
Thanks for the shout out! Congratulations on finishing the last Green Flip It, I bet the border will go fast! Loved seeing the panel quilt. I have a few panels in my stash but haven't tried quilting one yet. Belated thank you for your 60th episode! 🎉
You've both been busy! I'm glad to hear the retreat was fun and that Carol at least got to join in via zoom!
I am thankful for being able to share cross stitch with my sisters. When I visit my sister in Florida we are able to go to a cross stitch shop, which is so cool. I do not have any place near me to shop for any cross stitch patterns, floss, or fabric.

Love everything that you show in your Video. Everything is so pretty. Congratulations on your Finish.
Take Care & Happy Stitching

I taught her to do counted cross stitch when she was in her late 60s.
I’m thankful we could do that together.
Great video ladies. I’m grateful for floss tubes like yours as I stitch alone. Plus the joy of this hobby. Thanks for sharing.
Hello again, ladies. Thanks for another great stitchy visit. I am always so impressed by not only the fact that you are multi craftual, but how much you get done. We are so blessed that you share it with all of us.
Jennifer, your Crystal Reindeer are turning out beautifully. On Dancer, might there be a stitch missing in the middle of the curve of sledding they stand on? The others have one but it may be it's too light to see on video.
For the question, I'm thankful for the friends stitching has brought into my day to day life and for the chance to meet others on Flosstube. It's all been quite a blessing.
Thank you, ladies. ❤
I’m thankful that I have the choice to cross stitch or embroider or machine and hand quilt.
I am so thankful for all my stitchy friends through the years who have taught me so much. They have cheered me on and totally enabled me. I am grateful for membership in two organizations: American Needlepoint Guild and Embroiderer's Guild of America who have great local chapters.

I love winter also. I live close to Ft Wayne and want to someday come to your retreat. Never been to a retreat, so yours would be the closest
I am thankful for vision and when that fails, for magnification. Stitch on . . .
Enjoyed visiting with you. I am thankful for the peace and calm stitching brings to my life. I am thankful for the flosstube community.
I agree with you that if you are working with fabric and transforming it into any part of a quilt you are a quilter. It has taken me a lot of years to realize that.

You both add a smile to my face and many more. Love all the stitching and quilt makes and plans. Such an inspiration ❤
I am very thankful for my eyesight and the ability to stitch what makes me happy.
I am thankful that my sister taught me cross stitching back in 1982. It has brought me SO MUCH joy - I can’t imagine my life without it!
I’m thankful for flosstube - hearing about retreats, shops to visit when I travel and meeting new people! My daughter and I belong to a stitch group and have a good time together ❤

Haha Karen - I’m like a machine at my retreats 😂
As always I loved your show! Love visiting with you two lovely ladies. Thanks so much for info on the candy corn design. I will try to track it down. I’m thankful that I found my way back to cross stitch after a 30 year reprieve. I can’t see that well anymore so I have to stitch on Aida cloth in 14 to 10 count. Really love Betsy Ross linen I think it’s 10 count. I do not attend any cross stitch retreats but I go to two quilt retreats a year and I take some
Of my cross stitch blocks and make them into a quilt. I had a cross stitch shop in the 80’s so I have so many shop samples that are now becoming quilts. Quilt during the day cross stitch in the evenings. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Shirley
I am thankful for the opportunity to work on my crafts. I found my stitching bug again this year and it has been a blessing for me.
Love the reindeer cross stitch and the quilts and quilt blocks look great too. I'm thankful for the people I've met through stitching
I am thankful for the wonderful cross stitch community I have gotten to meet! I'm also thankful you answered my question! I have found that our stitching community is so helpful and welcoming!
Beautiful finishes and WIPs. That reindeer quilt is so cute and will be fantastic when it's done. I am thankful for having such a wonderful hobby. It can whisk me away on bad days, inspire me on good ones, uplift my mood, bring joy and pleasure.
I'm thankful for retreats that I have attended. I've met many wonderful like-minded stitchers. Thanks for another great flosstube!
I also ordered Chantelle’s mystery box and agree it’s a wonderful box. I also like that they didn’t put not stitching items in the box. I’m thankful to be retired and able to stitch everyday even though some days it may only be 20 mins and able to share my love of cross stitch with my oldest daughter and dear friends!
I am thankful for stitching friends who enable each other.
Hi Carol and Jennifer, 👋 stitching is another way to be creative. I don't know anyone else who stitches, so I quilt during the day and stitch at night (when I'm able). Thanks for another great video. 👏👏👏 Happy Stitching, Quilting, Crocheting and Knitting. ❤❤❤
Glad you liked the patterns for the spools! I’m grateful that I am retired and can stitch a lot in the day! Also grateful for this wonderful cross stitch community! 🫎
I am thankful for everything cross stitching related. The art of it , the community, the ability to create, so many things but this year I am so thankful for the love that I have received on my flosstube channel. The ability to share with others my crafting has been awesome. I also love watching all of the channels and seeing what others create. Some things are patterns I either have or already finished and other things that I will not stitch but love see how others have stitched them. ❤
I’m thankful for the calm that cross stitch gives my life!
Thanks to you for your flosstube! I'm thankful for the diversity & choice of styles. When I first did crosstitch 35 years ago, I wasn't aware of many of the designers & was limited to what was stocked in the craft store. Such a blessing to have online stores for those of us without an LNS.
I am just thankful for my stitching and quilting hobbies--they help me relax and calm me while my husband is going through cancer treatments. I am also thankful for all of you that take your time to share your creativity with us on Floss Tube. It provides a wonderful escape and inspiration.
@@karenjohnson8177 prayers 🙏 for your hubby and for you💕
@@rebeccajourney3183 Thank you so much!
Hi! Great flosstube! I love seeing your projects!
I’m thankful for a great friend to stitch with and a great LNS. Thanks!
I only have one stitchy friend but am very thankful for this community of flosstubers who make me feel like one of them as I watch and stitch.
I’m thankful for the wonderful friendships I’ve made on Instagram in my home country of Australia & from the USA ❤
Hi ladies. I am thankful for everything that I have. I love cross stitch so much and have for over 35 years. I have a great stash and love everything I have ever done! Love your jewelry Carol. Great stitching stuff today.
I'm so very thankful for this community! Through the community I've been able to attend retreats, made so many new friends, and have a network of people who really "get" my obsession with collecting cross stitch supplies! Thanks again for another wonderful video with all the eye candy!
I am thankful to be alive and well and actively stitching all the things. I'm not active in my needlework group but am thinking about going back in the new year. I do have a knitting group I'm active in donating to five major charities: rehabilitating veterans, a neonatal unit, Moffitt cancer ward, a retirement home and the 5th I can never remember...very satisfying to donate locally❤
I adore this community and how wonderful everyone is. I am so grateful to my mom Pollie who taught me everything I know (minus the loom knitting. She would approve!)
I am still reading my wool embroidery books. Thank you bunches for the recommendations. I learned embroidery prior to cross stitch and would love to follow along. I may buy a kit just to see the whole shebang!
I have met a kindred spirit stitchy friend which is so wonderful. I'm thankful for being able to stitch myself calm because my life is very stressful these days. My Mom isn't able to craft anymore due to disabilities - we had such fun at quilt nights, etc. You two remind me of the fun we had. So I'm thankful for watching Flosstube which brings back wonderful memories and allows me to get my courage up to go on retreats on my own. Take care!
@@christinem8383 prayers 🙏 for your mom and for you❣
I am thankful that I have a local cross stitch store. I am also thankful for flosstube and all the enabling. I am most grateful that my daughters also share in this hobby.
I’m thankful the ability to be able to stitch on things that I love. Stitching is very relaxing.
I am thankful for my Mom who taught me to cross stitch on stamped pillow cases when I was 8 yrs old, and that I could teach her COUNTED cross stitch when she was 65.
I am also thankful for you two. It’s so much fun to see you laugh together, and I appreciate that you share your accomplishments with us. It really is an encouragement to finish projects.
I am also thankful for designers who provide us with all these beautiful things to stitch.
I am thankful for the calming effect stitching is on my brain
. Cheaper than therapy. 😮
So thankful I have met you both and been able to attend your retreat all the way from South Carolina! Yes, you remembered and I really appreciate that you are thinking of my family and friends in NC and us here in SC trying to clean up after the hurricane. I love watching you both and seeing all your beautiful cross stitch pieces and those beautiful quilts and sewing projects too. Carol, your challenge quilt is so beautiful and the fabric is perfect for it. Hope to see you in the spring! Dottie
It is so very nice to be visiting with you both once again. There is. So much to be thankful for during the years I’ve been stitching….the new fabrics, fancy floss, Flosstubes, stitching with my best friend but mostly that I found your channel…..you both are the best!
Aww, thank you so much!
I am thankful for stitching to give me peace. I care for my dad who has dementia and my brother who has Parkinson’s and MG. I look forward to coming home and crafting. I love your flosstube channel I find it refreshing. ❤
@@wendywesley7423 prayers for your Dad and brother and for you❣
Great stitching and quilting. I love seeing all your projects. I’m thankful for all crafting communities. It’s evolved for me over the years. First was a scrapbooking group. Then I was very involved with a knitting group. And now cross stitch. Social media has made all the difference in connecting with people. I’m still in contact with women from all my groups but much more concentrated on cross stitch now.
"Hope is not a Strategy"😂😂😂😂. Nice one Jen!
You know it’s true! I say this a lot at work - don’t tell me what you hope to do, tell me what you’re going to do!
I am so thankful for my stitching and quilting friends and the fun we have together. I also am grateful for the therapy my hobbies provide me. It saves lives!
Thanks for the video visit! Your projects, as always, are beautiful and fun to see. I'm thankful for so much related to cross stitch - that I can connect with other people who love stitching, and that I always have so many great projects to stitch for myself and as gifts. Gotta love having all the stash, too, so I can kit things up on a whim. Happy stitching!
I'm thankful for all the joy that my friends on Flosstube share on a daily basis...best wishes for a great Thanksgiving ❤
I am thankful for the friends I have made thru needlework. And I am also thankful for being able to attend many retreat throughout the year.
I've cross-stitched on and off for years, coming back to it +++ in 2019 or 2020. I'm thankful for the new enthusiasm for this craft, and for wonderful and varied patterns that suit all tastes. I've fallen in love with reproduction samplers, geometric designs and monochromatic designs, but love to see what others work on and that's where floss tubes have been a blessing, as I live far from both an LNS and a group of stitchers. I'm also thankful for you two who share my love of quilting and knittng, so I get a taste of all 3 when I watch your floss tube. 🙂
I am thankful for flosstube. I have learned so much. I feel like I now have some stitchy friends. Thanks
I am thankful for my best stitching buddy who is also my sister!
I am happy to have recently met some wonderful stitchers who live close to me. Prior to my recent move I only had virtual stitchy friends, now I can go to local a stitchy group.
Flosstube! I don't have friends that cross stitch. You are my "tribe". Second- my vision!!!
I’m thankful for my friends and the ability to be able to stitch!
Love you two ladies. I'm late with my stitch directions but wanted to put in my 2 cents...up top right - down bottom left - up top left - down bottom right. 😊
Thanks for another enjoyable video. I am retired. I'm just grateful that I can stitch and multi-craft (quilting, sewing, crocheting, knitting, gardening and more). Luckily I don't have arthritis or other debilitating conditions in my hands and my vision is good. I am so thankful. I can't imagine not being able to craft! Happy stitching!
I'm thankful for floss tube and being able to stitch. Great video!
You are one of the few cross stitchers that make good use of those magazines. 👍🩷
I’m trying!
I am thankful for the blessing of flosstube!
So thankful for cross stitch and flosstube.
Well said, ladies! It's up there with people who say to me, 'You machine knit; it's not really knitting' (I hand knit too). Life is too short to worry about what's 'real' or not. I love your videos and gorgeous quilts! Your videos are always so inspiring to me, a beginner cross-stitcher. I have been doing needlepoint for years but just a few months ago turned to cross-stitch.
Were you in the shop in Houston when my dad looked at a machine quilted quilt on the wall and loudly said it wasn’t a quilt because it wasn’t hand quilted. One of the embarrassing moments of my life. He hand quilted a quilt for each of us four daughters.
Oh wow! Love that he was a hand quilter.
Thankful there will be soon a new baby girl in the family. And I'm determined to have better health.
Congratulations!
Who is the designer for the spool patterns? Love your stitches and finishes. Love your flosstube
I’ll ask my mom when we film today!
Jen, just wondering why there's not a x dot in the curl of the sleigh on Dancer. Should there be one?
I'm thankful that I'm able to stitch when I can in a home that's safe and warm. Just found out that I'm not going blind but I need better lenses to correct my double vision. And I'm thankful to be able to watch the two of you...❤❤
Ooh, thank you for telling me, I bet I missed that stitch!
I'm thankful to have my stitching as a calming distraction from politics and then holiday chaos! I am not a quilter, what is the cork used for?
Carol, we don't unknit...we tink...that knit spelled backwards! I do a lot of that!
Haha, I like that!
Ok, I love watching you, but I don’t know what FFO means. You two make me want to crossstitch and quilt. I’m a needlepointer
Hi Susan! We are answering your question today!
Looking forward to watching it!
Always great to see the two of you. One question I have is, there were so many “commercials “ on this episode, is this going to be every episode? Not happened before so just wondering. Thanks.
Sorry about the ads, we don’t control that (and we are not monetized) - I’ve noticed the same, sometimes they put a lot of ads in one video and other times they don’t.
Where did you get the hanger for the Halloween piece?
