My husband stitches as well, and I called him the renaissance man because he’s a woodworker, he sells diesel parts by day and stitches with me by night! You two are adorable and I’m enjoying your video! I have the same Merlin app because my husband and I sit out on our covered deck and stitch and listen to all the bird sounds 😍
Oh my goodness!!! 😂❤😊 The way you started your video was adorable! You two should always do this. 💞 It's great to see Boone (is it?) stitching and supporting and that beard!!! 👊 So excited to hear about a Christmas book. 👏👏 Loved all the projects. 🫶 Y'all just bring me joy!
Loved your video. Gigi, you are so creative and design gorgeous patterns. I've done a couple and just thoroughly enjoyed stitching them. My next one is A Study in Nature. It was so fun seeing you both together. You can just feel the love and respect you have for each other. Both of you enjoy stitching!!! Thanks!!
What a wonderful video!! Enjoyed seeing Boone's stitching. He did so well!! Giving, I'm beyond over the hill, excited that you have plans to design a needle roll 😁 ... I can't wait to see what you design, I know I'll love it!!
Yes I had so much fun watching the two of you. New subscriber here, Gigi, but I have binge watched from the beginning. I absolutely love your designs and am having so much trouble trying to decide which to stitch first. Beautiful colors and just fun designs! Congratulations on how far you’ve already come as a designer in a short time! Boone, it was nice to meet you and I hope you’ll return with Gigi..great bantering back and forth which makes me smile. Also, great job on your first cross stitch ..looks like she’s got you hooked now lol It was so interesting to learn you’re in Lufkin, TX…I grew up in Beaumont, and still have lots of family in east TX. I’m really glad y’all are enjoying it there. I sure miss the folks there. Also, to hear you lived in McMinnville! We lived in Corvallis for many years, then Dallas (Oregon) and our daughter and her family are in Newberg. Fun to have those little connections. I send my very best wishes to you both for much continued success in your designing and stitching endeavors! Suzette (now in WA state)
Fantastic video , so nice to have your partner with you & sharing his stitching amazing 🤩 all the stitching was gorgeous ❣️❣️ can’t wait to see your book & purchase so exciting 🤩
That was a great video and what a great rapport you have together, really enjoyed watching you both. You are so lucky to have a husband interested in your cross stitching world. It goes without saying I loved hearing about your stitchy stuff. Hurry back! PS I live in Norfolk, UK and have been stitching for 40 years!
So fun you two. Looking forward to your new patterns as you have a very definite design voice and have made a great space for yourself in the marketplace. Well done, good luck, and look forward to the next time.
Welcome to Flosstube, Boone! Wonderful debut!! I'm totally a Merlin addict. It helps me annoy my loved ones by pointing out what every bird is without being asked. I heard of it through Kathy Barrick! The whole zipper thing cracked me up. 😂 Congratulations on the cross stitch finish, Boone! It looks awesome! And all of your projects are beautiful, Gigi! P.S. Gigi, as a fellow 44 year old, did you watch Muppet Babies as a kid? Cheryl's legs are bringing me back! 😁
Oh yes, I loved all things Muppet growing up! I forgot all about them, but I'll bet my subconscious didn't! 🤣 So, you're a "Xennial" too... sounds about right, all my favorite people are. 😉💕 RIP Kurt! 🤣
Merlin is the best! I record the birds in my yard most days - especially right now during migrations 🙂 Thank you for sharing your design process and inspiration! Both! Modern Folk Embroidery AND a Long Dog! You can do it - one stitch at a time! Happy Stitching!
Beautiful stitching both of you! Have considered joining the Tudor Rose Guild multiple times. Love so many of their specials! Sometimes the 11x11 q snap gets too heavy for me, but a frankenstein 8x11 is my favorite. You might try that and see how it works for you! OH....hands up for the unicorn...my 10 year old self would freak out!
I enjoyed seeing both of your WIPs and plans.As a retired speech language pathologist i get the need for a creative outlet and cutting back on work hours. Love how you support each other's work.
I got your market release mellow yellow. The only market item that really caught my attention.I love your style of design and color choices. I'm just going to be a slow collector of your designs because of budgeting... And Mr your stitching is good. Y'all are cute and make a good video.
Thank you for answering the questions 😁 I loved the video, you guys are like a fresh air! Gigi, you are so very talented and your designs are so different and beautiful!
Gigi, fun video. I fell over when you said you lived in McMinnville, OR. I have lived in Mac for 27yrs. I just couldn't believe when I heard you. Cool. Hello. Wish we could have drank latte's and stitched together. Thanks
Oh, dang! If only we'd crossed paths earlier, right?! Mac is such a delightful little town, I miss the downtown and walking the cute neighborhoods. Sigh...💕
I loved this video. So nice to see a relationship so supportive of each other! I graduated from William Claude Reavis High School in Burbank, IL. Any connection?
Not that I am aware of. My family is long ago from the South, to Oklahoma, to Southern Cali, to Oregon and back to Deep East Texas!. I've never met another Reavis in person.
So much fun seeing the spouses pop on Flosstube. I think Boone has raised the stakes as we need to see other husbands start stitching. 😄 Throw Wide the Windows is beautiful! I love that you changed the border to match the picture. The last video or two, the owl on the wall behind your left shoulder keeps catching my eye. Is that a cross stitch?
The owl is a goodwill find and it's needlework but not cross stitch. I think it's sort of a sampler of embroidery stitches, but I'm not well versed in embroidery so I'm not sure- I just know that it's darned cute!
It's actually spelled Patreon, and if you Google that you'll find the website. Then search for The Artsy Housewife within the Patreon website and you'll find me! There are different subscription options, or "tiers", and those are explained in better detail on the website. I hope that makes sense!
@@theartsyhousewife The Fat Quarter Shop has a spray Antiquing dye that MIGHT work. But it does wet the project. I have never used it. You could ask them if it will damage over dyed floss or fabric.
First time watching your video. I really enjoyed it. I love the way that you'll work together and support each other. look forward to seeing more of them.
I love how proud and supportive your hubby is of you! Boone, counting is hard!
I know!! He's a keeper. 💕

Good Morning ❤ so nice to meet you both 🎉 InezArnetta 🌹
I just love the “good” zipper vs “bad” zipper sound! Oh Boone! Great first finish! Wonderful Q & A session too. Thanks. Kathleen.
Thank you, Kathleen!! 💕

You two must have a special bond to be able to be at home together so often. What a loving and supportive husband! So cool that he's stitching, too!
He's pretty great (shhh, don't tell him). ☺💕
So fun you two. Looking forward to your new patterns as you have a very definite design voice and have made a great space for yourself in the marketplace. Well done, good luck, and look forward to the next time.

Fun video! I love that your husband is so supportive of your craft and has even taken up stitching himself! Yay!
Yes had fun. Great video! Ive already signed up for the Caroline’s Big Birthday Sal and l can’t wait!
Yayyy! You're gonna love the floss and fabric - Kerri did a fabulous job!! 💕

🤣 You must be from my generation. Unicorns forever!!

No doubt Susan! Evenings just before bed is best for me. :)

Thank you for answering the questions 😁 I loved the video, you guys are like a fresh air! Gigi, you are so very talented and your designs are so different and beautiful!
Awwe, thank you Natalia! 💕
This is such a great video! So excited to see what you have been designing and about Patreon. ❤
☺💕
Great to meet you guys. Very relaxed and fun
the coffee sigh gets me every time! nothing like a cup o joe to get the day started!
Love your patterns.
Big fan of your patterns! Love to hear about your design process. I also live in East Texas (Longview area). So cool that you’re also in east texas!
Thank you so much!!
We're technically "deep east", in the Lufkin/Nacogdoches area. Still pretty close by Texas standards! 🤣
Loved your video. I’m stitching Be Not A Dunce too!
It's the cutest sampler! I think I'll hang it in my teenage son's room when it's done, just as a reminder. 🤣
So fun! Just love it all and upcoming excitement too. hugs
Gigi, fun video. I fell over when you said you lived in McMinnville, OR. I have lived in Mac for 27yrs. I just couldn't believe when I heard you. Cool. Hello. Wish we could have drank latte's and stitched together.

Yes, this was fun!!! Can't wait for the next video...And I joined Patreon...
Hi! How do I join your patron? All your UA-cam video showed was your transcript. Where do I go to join? Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you so much!!
I'm looking forward to the SAL! and I would love to see a booklet of charts!!
🥳💕 I'm super excited about the SAL - I loooove the pattern!! Hope y'all do, too! ❤❤
My hubby is a computer nerd. and we are an android house as well.
I loved this video. So nice to see a relationship so supportive of each other!

Love your video. So nice to see you sipping tea (or maybe whiskey 😂)out of a jar. I’m in NW Louisiana ,so close to you. What’s your closest LNS?
3 Stitches in the Houston area is my closest LNS, but at 2.5 hours away it doesn't feel very local! What's your favorite LNS (or ONS) to shop at?
I had fun!
Love your patterns. Would like to know more about patron. I think that is the way to spell it most likely not. Where to go to see about joining

Hello y’all!
Howdy!! 🤠👋
That was great video! Welcome to the world of stitching Boone! ( want to model stitch with me??). 😉😉
Lol, no ma'am. I will NEVER be able to stitch as well as you. 😂
Don't dunk your finished stitch if you used over dyed floss or fabric. Over dyed floss & fabric are not color fast.
Very good point!! I neglected to consider that... I best come up with a new plan!
@@theartsyhousewife The Fat Quarter Shop has a spray Antiquing dye that MIGHT work. But it does wet the project. I have never used it. You could ask them if it will damage over dyed floss or fabric.
First time watching your video. I really enjoyed it. I love the way that you'll work together and support each other. look forward to seeing more of them.
Thank you so much! ❤
