    I love your stitching and you did a great first video showing your beautiful work. I am still an AIDA stitcher, I just love it. Once in a while I venture out of my comfort zone... then I return to AIDA. Looking forward to your next flosstube !!!!!!!!

    Great first video ! Love all your projects . I’m an older cross stitcher ,from the 80’s and I love Aida and Lugana ! Scared to do Linen too. I’m a former Connecticut resident and now live in Rhode Island. Unfortunately no LNS near by so it’s Hobby Lobby or Michael’s for DMC floss and fabrics. My other source is 123 stitch online! Happy stitching and just do what you can in the time you have and enjoy your stitching time !

    So glad you started a Flosstube - great job and love your projects! Zippers and plastic bags are great - they’re a part of stitchy life, I believe! Your kit projects (market cart and ornaments) are amazing!! I feel your pain with lack of time. My thoughts on WIPgo and journals and the like are that they are all something else that would take up time that I could just be stitching! Have to be stingy with my time! Looking forward to your next plus tube.🎉❤

    Really love your flosstube! Please keep it up! I stitch on Lugana - love evenweave. Not afraid of linen, just like evenweave better - both in stitching and the finished look. Thank you for the flosstube!

    Good first video! I have been stitching since 1975. I have stitched on all kinds of counts and fabric. Your pieces are lovely. Abd let me tell you if you can stitch on lugana you can stitch on linen. I find Lugana really hard to stitch. Good luck hope you continue with making floss tubes.😊

    What a debut! Thanks for sharing your stitching. I am amazed you get my stitching done with FT work and a toddler. I guess not commuting must help. Your journey from Aida to evenweave and I am sure then to linen is interesting. Don’t buy too much of anything until you finally settle. I have lots of 32 count and now I stitch almost entirely on 36 count with one strand. This year I started the Book of Days but you could just use any month to a view diary. I set easy goals on about 6 of my 9 WIPS, eg one sampler row, half the roof of a house, one Quaker motif, touch a project for one day. I am making much better progress with this method and I know I can achieve these goals and more. With FT work and three teens, I have to be strategic with my stitching if I want finishes. Take care.

    You did awesome for your first flosstube. Congratulations. 👏🏻👏🏻 Oh, I hope you continue to finish your old projects that you have started,they are so pretty. Have one out, to pick up when you need to stitch but you really don't have much time or need to concentrate and use those as fill-in projects for those times. With a little one, you may not have time for a lot of congratulations,but you need to stitch and do the fill in on those old projects. 😊 Happy Stitching!

    Great first flosstube! Keep on stitching your Aida projects. I’ve been stitching 41 years and have a collection of everything…it’s all part of the journey. I’ve had some of my really old pieces reframed to update them to a more modern look. Look forward to seeing your next video. Anne in Ohio

    Great first Flosstube! Love your stitching and looking forward to your next video. Happy stitching! Finishing your projects would give you your stitching history. Aida stitching is beautiful, and it is where you began. One thread length a day will give you a finish! Good luck with whatever you decide

    Great 1st flosstube ! Hello neighbor. I'm in western Mass. 😊 I have many projects stitched on Aida. When I started 30ish years ago, I bought projects kitted and aida was always the fabric picked for the kit. I like to stitch on evenweave and linen. You can do it, don't be afraid lol. Start small.

  • @RhubarbPatchStudio
    @RhubarbPatchStudio 7 місяців тому

    Hi Shannon! Your first video was great, and many of us like to see stitching whether it’s ironed or not. 😊 Regarding your Aida dilemma, I suggest hanging on to those projects and when your child is older you may like to grab those for traveling around to different kid activities. I enjoy all fabrics but I can only stitch on Aida in the car, and I like to bring them when I know the lighting will be poor or I just want to give my brain a break, etc. I’m subscribed and look forward to your next update. Happy stitching! -Leah Noel

    Love all your projects! I enjoy stitching on Aida since it goes pretty fast for me. I would keep doing the projects to complete them since you have put so much time into them already. Well done for your first Flosstube! There is another Flosstuber that just stitches Dimension kits. It's fun to watch her she is very passionate as well! Don't put pressure on yourself for stitching since it is a hobby that we are to love! Thanks for sharing.

    Loved your video and your WIPs!! I recommend WIPGO for motivation. You can set your own goals..five days, five hours, five hundred stitches, just an example. I’ve been stitching for almost fifty years and while I prefer evenweave I keep Aida projects going too.

But I do understand how your preferences change and it makes it harder to go back to them. I received the Dimensions ornaments kit for Christmas this year. I haven’t started them yet but seeing your progress makes me want to right away!

I am a seasonal stitcher. My thing is I finish them and don’t always FFO them, and sometimes they never get finished. Oh well…it’s our hobby…must enjoy it. Hope to see more of your channel.

  • @karenjones256
    @karenjones256 7 місяців тому

    Hi Shannon! You have a pleasant personality and seem to like a lot of the same designers I do, so I thoroughly enjoyed your Flosstube #1. I’ve been stitching longer than you’ve been alive and still enjoy Aida, so unless you don’t like stitching on it anymore or don’t like it’s look, there is no reason not to finish. One thing I like about Aida is that everything looks precise. Depending on the linen, it can have slubs and uneven fibers that I do not always like. I do hope you finish your Fall on the Farm piece, to start over on 32 count will give you the same size and look that you already have on 16 count Aida. Having said that, with a full time job and a baby, I do think you should spend your time stitching what you love! And yes, I also love the crinkle of bags and zippers! Hope to see you continue!

    • @StitchingShan

    Bravo! Your stitches are beautiful! And such big challenges! WOW! I have never tried aida. I just started last fall, and only have used 40 count. My girls are all grown now, but a wise friend told me to choose my battles in raising them. I think the same goes for cross stitching. Choose the paths that you enjoy.

    Hi Shannon - enjoyed watching you first flosstube and the variety of stitching you're working on. I've never had an interest in full coverage, however the Gold Dimensions Ornaments you're stitching are calling my name - gorgeous! I too am from New England - specifically Shelton, CT 🙂. Not too long ago, my husband and I moved to Hilton Head SC. Like you, I'm drawn to stitching that looks like New England - the fall colors are so pretty! See you during your next video. ☺

    Don't give up on your aida pieces. I've been stitching for 40 years & have stitched on pretty much all the fabrics. I still love my pieces that were done on aida even if they aren't full coverage. Pick one of your aida pieces & stitch on it in-between other projects. The end result will be worth it.
