I am so pleased I am getting finishes too - so glad I put in so many smalls! The new starts are slowing down a bit now so maybe chance to get some progress on the big projects! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
What a great lineup for Friday night stitching, you and Stitching by the Shore. Love the finishes! Thank you for all of the history lessons. I like the Beatles but didn't realize Eleanor Rigby was a real person or that Strawberry Fields was a real place. I've got Yellow Submarine started, Blackbird is finished and I'll be starting Strawberry Fields with you and Sarah. Have a great weekend!
They are great charts aren't they! Looking forward to stitching the rest maybe next year. Yes Eleanor was a real person but none of The Beatles knew her. There was a disagreement between Paul and John over who wrote the song and it was thought Paul did - he said that he didn't know the grave was there and it was purely coincidental! It's all so fascinating! Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❤️
Thank you Sally! So quick and easy to do a hoop finish! Glad I bought a pack so I can do some more! It's a bit of BA tonight as it's Wednesday! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Thank you for joining the #quackalong SAL bandwagon. I'm happy that you're doing your own thing with it and I'm excited to follow your updates. Lovely flosstube, amazing stitching and astonishing finishes 🙂
Just found your podcast and thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm in north Wales too so lovely to see someone local! Will definitely be returning for future views.
Hello fellow North Walian! I did see your Insta follow pop up and I don't think you are a million miles from me (I'm nearer the border than you I think!) Thanks for watching and commenting and happy knitting/stitching/crafting! Xx
I selected my fabric for Americana Blue while watching today. I've wanted to stitch a project this year with you and Sarah. It's even nicer that it is your birthday start!
Your FFO are fabulous, as are all your wips. I really enjoyed your talk about the history and tapestries. Thank you. Looking forward to the #quackalong start on Monday. Take care
Aww thank you sooo much. I do love history and we have such a variety here in the UK - going from Bess in the 1500's to The Beatles in the 1960's! So looking forward to the QuackAlong! Not long to go now!! 🦆🦆🪡🧵❤️
Oh thank you for watching Sarah and I'm so pleased you enjoyed hearing about the visit to Liverpool. It's great to enjoy some history so close to home that means something to my stitchy friends further away! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Look at those cute hoop finishes 😍 lovely WIP progress! Thank you for sharing all of the history behind some of the Beatles sights- fascinating! I agree about checking out all the different types of dough bowls. I have one, but may go back and get another longer one like yours. It'll fit more. Happy stitching sweet friend!
So pleased to get some quick finishes! I just wish my dough bowl was a bit deeper so things stand up a bit better! It's not bad for the price I paid for it though 🤣 Happy Stitching my lovely 🪡🧵❤️
Thoroughly enjoyed that Sally. Really interesting about the national trust places. I used to be a member and loved the gorgeous places and gardens. Defo a prompt for me to get out more ☺️
First time viewer thanks to Ellie Wellie Stitcher! Thank you so much for the history of Eleanore Rigby! Now I'm going to have to check out the meaning behind the song. I've been to Strawberry Fields in Central Park, NYC, last year which is across the street from The Dakota where he and Yoko lived! I very much enjoyed your FlossTube video!
Thank you so much for coming over and watching! We're visiting New York soon so will have to add that to our plans!! Glad you enjoyed watching and Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❤️
Congrats on getting all your lovely hoop finishes done. They look so sweet and now you can hang them up and enjoy them. For Thee looks brilliant too, and will be a lovely gift. I like your floss choices for the Autumn Bee wings. I look forward to seeing how they stitch up. So good to catch up with you again. Thanks for sharing about Strawberry Fields, that was all news to me.
We had such a good visit to Strawberry Fields - it was so interesting! Really think I will enjoy Autumn Bee more now I have changed the colours - that yellow body was hard to stitch! Happy Stitching my dear friend 🧵🪡❤️
So nice to see you today friend. I love you hoop finishes and your finish. So nice to see pictures and hear all about your journeys lately. I'm sorry what you received for Osnaburg isn't what I stitch with what i use is soft and 100 percent cotton. You could always use as a backing fabric. Hope you see you soon on our zoom.
Oh don't apologise Ruth - I didn't really do much research before I pressed 'buy' lol. It will come in handy I am sure at some point and it didn't cost much! See you soon my friend. Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❤️
What a wonderful video to watch during my morning stitch 😍😍 I love your fully finishes and I‘m sooooo happy you finished „For Thee“ - it looks sooooo beautiful 😍😍😍 Thanks for telling us about your little trips - I learned a lot I didn’t know. 🤩 And also, please mark „Long and winding road“ as a SAL with me next year 😬 Your Halloween decorations look absolutely lovely - I want something like that in my house. I guess I need to start finishing into little pillows 😅😅 Have a wonderful weekend my friend and I‘ll see you very soon ❤️❤️
Thank you Alex - I did worry when I posted it late that you might try and stay up late, so I'm glad you watched it in the morning instead!! I do love a bit of history and to tie it to my stitching is even better! I'll have to find out a bit more when it comes to Long and Winding Road! Lovely to catch you last night for a chat! Happy Stitching my wonderful friend 🧡🪡🧵🎃
Lovely video, Sally. Yes, I had an American dad and English mum. My grandad, who lived in L'pool, also had a cottage in Llandudno which we visited a few times. It used to be quite a pretty seaside town. I'm sure it's much more of a touristy place now than it was when I was last there as a child in early 1960s. I have Strawberry Fields all kitted up and ready to go. Not sure if I can hold off till December, tho. We'll see. Steph x
Aww Llandudno is still lovely although a little busy when the weather is good. It is also great to visit in the winter and get some wind in your lungs! Hope you can hang on until December for Strawberry Fields - it has been a bit of a long time since we started talking about it hasn't it!! Happy Stitching my friend 🧵🪡❤️
Just finished watching this, as always while getting some ‘stitching kilometres’ (as the Dutch would say!) under my belt on my own project. Things I loved best: your FFOs, so lovely, well done! All the history, especially about stitchy ladies of the past (don’t we stand in a long and illustrious line?!). Hearing about your and Si’s days out! Familiar places near school… and all of it really! Really enjoyed the hour thank you. Oh, and I meant to say some Flosstubes ago - pleased the travel ort catcher pattern came in so useful! Sending love, keep stitching xx
So lovely to know you watch and especially that you sew whilst you do! Glad you enjoyed and yes some places would have been quite familiar to you! Big hugs xxx
Great Flosstube! I loved hearing about the National Trust places you visited. I just watched Lucy Worsley’s program on Elizabeth I so this was very timely. Your finishes were great! I also started Cinnamon Stars on August 26th. I only managed two of the stars before putting it away. Have a wonderful couple of weeks.
Oh I do enjoy Lucy Worlsey - I did see she had done an Elizabeth 1st program so I really must watch it! Not much more progress on Cinnamon Stars here...maybe next week 🤣 Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Glad you snagged a dough bowl from the Range - I should have asked for commission!! 😂. I got the hubby to sand it and he’s stained it for me! I do need to get a sealant as I don’t want the stain coming off on my cross stitch!! I’ll join you in starting Strawberry Fields when you and Sarah start it!!
I think i will give it a sand and varnish. It could do with being a little deeper too so might see if I can sand a bit more lol. Really pleased you are joining us for Strawberry Fields! 🍓🧵🪡❤️
I was also kitting up Cinnamon Stars at the Big Stitch - and also couldn't find Piney Woods. I'm not starting mine until next year though, so I still have time. My parents live about 15 minutes away from Hardwick Hall, so I've been there many times. It's such a lovely National Trust property to visit. Much stitchy love to you, Clare xx
Oh I do love a National Trust. Can't wait to retire and spend my life stitching and travelling the country to eat scones at NT properties 🤣🤣🤣 Happy Stitching my lovely! 🪡🧵❤️
Hi Sally 👋 loved the strawberry fields history/eleanor rigby and now told the Mrs we need a day trip out to Hardwick Hall my favourite wip your working on is penelope I'm realtive new to your flosstube but I love your video's
Awwww thanks so much for watching - so pleased you enjoyed it! Hardwick Hall is such a fascinating place to visit so I would really recommend it! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Great to see you last night Sally. Exactly what I needed after a long day. It did include a visit to a book stand so I'm well stocked up now for the autumn. Only problem is I can't stitch & read & I'm no good with audio books. Hardwick Hall is on my to visit list. I've been to Chatsworth & absolutely loved it. I had read some of Deborah Mitfords books so it made it even more special to finally visit. She was a woman, like Bess, years ahead of her time. Love your finishes & all your stitching. We finally have summer here, hope it's the same in Wales this weekend. Take care 💖💖💖
Thanks for watching Anne-Marie! I'm the same with books - can't stitch and read at same time and find audio quite hard, especially when stitching as I get engrossed in my stitching and miss bits! It can happen with Flosstube but that seems easier to pause and go back a bit with! You'll love Hardwick - so seeped in history. Simon loved it for the history and the portraits so there is so much more to it than just the needlework. Glad you have some good weather. Saturday was lovely - Sunday not so and woken to rain this morning! Can't make up it's mind! Happy Stitching! 🧵🪡❤️
I’ve been to Llandudno way back in 2005 with a couple college friends! I had to rewind the video to make sure I heard you correctly. Probably not a big deal for you, but a nice throwback for me. 😊 Great progress on your WIPs!
Awww I love Llandudno so much. My Grandparents used to take me there for the day when I was a child so I have many happy memories and I went to school in the next town over so as a teenager went there at weekends. I'm pleased you enjoyed hearing about it and it brought back some memories! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Oh thank you for the tip! I have sons beautiful hydrangeas I bought called 'Rock Star' they go either a bright pink or an amazing purple colour. Mine are pink so might have to try the rusty bits and see if I can make them purple! 💜💜💜💜💜
@@flossysewsandgrows I used to scour the pavements and pick up random screws and nails I saw and throw them in there … I took it very seriously as a little girl! 😂 it’s something to do with the elements in the rust but I considered it magic!
Your day out to Liverpool sounds really interesting - I never knew the history of Strawberry Fields, so it was great to learn more about it! Perhaps with your sheep, you could swith the colours round, so the bulk of the wwol is grey and the swirls are white?
Bit disappointing weren't they! I definitely got the best one but still may put some varnish on it. I suppose a better produced one may have been quite a few more £'s......Happy Stitching Fiona! 🪡🧵❤️
Hi Sally, I'm really impressed you've only got 20 wips on the go this far into the year. How many do you need for WIPGO???!!! You'll have to start new projects in 2025 at this rate! Interesting about the osnaburg you got. I love osnaburg and stitched almost exclusively on it when I first picked up cross-stitch. I stitch in hand and like the feel and weight of it (and it dyes really well and is cheap if it goes wrong) but the main problem is that it isn't always a true square - the thread count can be quite different across to up and down. I've had a few pieces turn out squashed or stretched! My Spring Quaker is stitched on osnaburg and that was fine. It measures about 43 count by 39 count so fairly true, but I've some flecked osnaburg that's 32 by 42 count so that can really change the aspect ratio of a piece. Lady Dot Creates does coloured osnaburg which is much looser and dramatically not square! I started making a Sampler Hare by La-D-Da in some and it looked positively anorexic so it's worth checking before you start stitching. I look forward to seeing what you think of it! Happy stitching, Kim ❤
Oh I have plans for new starts for 2025 already 🤭🤭🤭🤭 Thank you for the feedback about the osnaburg. I think you are right that's it's not even. Have measured it and about 15 holes x 19 holes per inch! It was super cheap though so I'm not unhappy about it. I expect I will use it to finish stitching projects mainly. I might try and stitch something on it but probably just smalls! My friends had also bought it to use it to dye their own colours and i think Ruth in the US has managed to find one that works quite well. I'll keep you posted how I get on with it! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Interesting info about strawberry fields and Eleanor Rigby, thanks 😊 I’m already to start Away we ride today and Quackers tomorrow 🥰🥰 great video as always 😊😊 enjoy your stitching and look forward to seeing your progress and new starts ❤xx
Aaah at last! I have both Cinnamon Stars AND Away We Ride on my potential starts in the very near future…. I’ll be sure to tag you on insta :) take care, Nic x
Congratulations on your lovely hoop fully finishes - particularly loved the home sweet home design. Thanks for another great flosstube, Steph xx
Thank you! Such a quick and easy way to finish something. I need to do some more! Thanks for watching and happy stitching 🧵🪡❤️
