Thank you! Until the next stitch...
Well, this was a breath of fresh air! Love all of your stitching and look forward to seeing more. Enjoy the weekend!
Oh thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed my updates and the WIPs I'm working on! Hope you had a great weekend and happy stitching!
Your Mira is beautiful! The skin work is outstanding!
Thank you so much! It definitely takes a lot of time, but I think the end effect is worth it!
Thanks to your Flosstube video showing your dog stitch, I contacted the Etsy Shop owner and she is customizing a cross stitch graph of my beloved Scottish Terrier that has passed. I’m excited to see what she comes up with and then hopefully start stitching it.🐾🐾
Oh wow that's awesome! I'm so glad they were able to do that for you. It's really turning out so nice and I hope yours does too! Happy we can all share our information :). You'll have to share a picture with me as you're stitching!
I've used a couple of different floor stands. I like the trestle ones better than the clamping ones. Before you invest too much, think about making a table/lap stand out of PVC (there are plans online) to see if you even like a stand. What I do is sit at my desk and prop my scroll frame on the edge of my desk, with my lighted magnified positioned between me and the work. I stitch with my left hand underneath and my right hand on top, so the light's 'goose-neck' is coming in from the left and the right corner of the frame is propped on the desk.
Re the fabric on the Long Dog - that is very aggravating! And yes, it happens a lot. If you get fabric from a place that does not serge it, you can pull a thread along the edges that are not the woven selvages and be sure you have a piece of fabric that is perfectly on grain. Or if you have a serger, you can re-stitch the edge while taking a lot of care to follow a single thread along the edge. A recent kit that I did had fabric that so wonky that I ended up with fabric that was over an inch smaller in each dimension after I had straightened it out. (Luckily the kit had generous enough margins that I still had good framing allowance.) It looks like you measured from the 'shorter' end, so you will be fine.
You've made excellent progress on your projects. I really love Winston!
Thank you so much for the tips on the stands! There's so many options it can be intimidating! I'll keep trying to see what works best for my setup. Yes the fabric was frustrating that it happened. I'm hoping it doesn't cause any other issues as the piece gets longer! That would be a major disappointment. I love the winston piece too and it's cute to see it come together more :)
My motto is “there’s always time for another SAL”
And a good motto that is :)
YAAAAS! Join the Deadly Aquarium SAL! I’m ordering fabric (I hope) this weekend. I am on Team Lowery for sure. It’s my absolute favorite stitching accessory, and I get childishly cranky when I can’t use it. I even figured out how to get the little perforated paper ornaments into it. My only advice would be to go ahead and get the extra long bar along with it. It gives it a longer reach for getting over a couch arm, or just bringing a smaller hoop closer to you. (And you don’t need the qsnap adapter right away. I can hold my qsnaps just fine with the clamp that comes with it.) LOL I sound like I work for them, and I promise I don’t. ha, ha, ha!
Oh great, I'm glad you're joining the SAL! So many people are starting this one :). Glad you enjoy your Lowery stand! It does seem to be the one that will work with my setup so I'm glad you like yours. I'll look at the longer bar too. Thanks for your input!
I go with the “if I like it, I can afford it, I’m starting it when I want”. So I say go for it on the new SAL. What I’ve been doing with my WIPs lately is I have a basket that I fill with WIPs and/or starts, put it in my stitching spot and just grab whatever I grab. I am trying to switch out every month or so and it’s been fun to see my WIPs get attention 😊
I like that way of thinking! That sounds like a good way to rotate through things!
I enjoy watching you!
Aww thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Great work!! I enjoyed your Flosstube! As far as floor stands, I have a Lowery stand, and I love it. It doesn’t take up space and it is easy to swing out of the way when I need to get up. I stitch in a recliner. It is the only stand I would ever need!! As for the uneven fabric, they don’t always cut according to the grainline. Your stitching is the plum line, as it were, so don’t worry about it. Your stitching is correct!
Thanks so much, I'm glad you're enjoying the channel. I am learning to love my lowery and position it correctly :). Good to know my stitching was ok on the fabric haha. Thanks for putting my mind at ease :)
That spooky house ornament is so cute! Obsessed with the glowy outline! ❤
Thank you so much! I'm happy with how it turned out!
You made some excellent progress during your stitchy weekend. You have some beautiful projects.
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the updates!
Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Thank you! 😊
Great video! I have SO.MANY.WIPS! I decided that Friday is going to be my day that I stitch on one piece until it’s done. I pick a WIP that is close to the finish line, and work on it on Fridays until it is finished. That’s getting floss and fabrics back into my stash. I’ve been doing this since Feb, and have finished 2 pieces.
Thank you! That sounds like a very good plan. I think something like that is what I want to do so I can finish some projects :)
I’m so envious of your quiet stitchy weekend!! What a dream and damn what amazing progress on so many projects. Do you plan to stitch all the Lola ornaments before or by the holidays this year? I haven’t made a plan yet. I think I got three of them done so far. Your haul fabrics are gorgeous, that golden one … my mouth dropped. And I’ll share my two cents again … yes on Deadly Aquarium for you! 😊 And I’m still blushing from you sharing the bookmark to your thousands of viewers! Eek! Very thoughtful Andrew. Until the next stitch.
It really was a lovely weekend! I need to plan more of those haha. I don't have a plan for the Lola ornaments except I have one more as a WIPGO call. I might just stitch 3 of them as they didn't all call to me like I thought they might if that makes sense ha. Are you trying to finish them all before the holiday? i am happy with that golden fabric... can't wait to see what to put on it. I maybe should have checked with you first if it was ok to share, but I was so blown away by what you did I had to show it off. It's really great work. I should have called out your Etsy shop more so people knew where to go, but I did have the link. Anyway, thanks again, that was really special to me! Happy stitching!
Great time on your run. Love your stitching.
Thank you so much! 😊
I watched you with SamBrie, it was as fun to meet you. I did see your video before that. Your lady WIPS are really nice.
Oh thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed our chat and that you like the Fancy Ladies! I'll definitely be doing more of them as I'm really enjoying Lilly of the Woods!
Love all of your current stitches and I can see how you would be hard pressed to keep up with stitching on all of them. Maybe change your focus projects monthly so you never go more than a month without touching each one? Or some projects for week days and others for weekends and holidays?
Regarding the new Frosted Pumpkin SAL, you can join in right away and then just stitch at your own pace. I have no doubt that I will not be able to keep up but the excitement at the start will be too hard for me to resist. 😊 I will just hang out near the back of the class and enjoy the fishing. 😂. Good luck with your next race!
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying my current projects! Yes something like you suggested is what I need to come up with. I guess I should just try something and see how I like it. I can always change it up! You're probably right about the SAL and I'll be with you at the back of the class :). Thanks for your support and happy stitching!
😂I am happy to be a part of the new subscribers. You are gorgeous 😍. Your stitching, beautiful. I also run. Today, I run a 5k. And, you help me to find my adorable chihuahua. Well, both of my dogs passed within a year. The other was a miniature schnauzer. The etsy site has both charts. Thank you 😊.
Welcome and I'm so happy to have you subscribe to the channel! Congratulations on your 5K!! Oh I'm so glad they had the charts for your dogs. Those will be great pieces to stitch up for them. Happy you're enjoying the channel!
I use a Lowery stand. You can also create a weight by making a long narrow pillow and fill it with walnut shells or dry beans. Use the weight across the top of your roll frame while it rests on a table in front of you. I have seen lots of people do this instead of using a stand.
Thank you for the advice! That's not something I had thought about doing. Glad to know you are enjoying your Lowery stand. Happy stitching!
I love all of your beautiful ladies. I have had a Lowery Stand for quiet a few years and I love it.I just pit it under the edge of my recliner to weigh it down. after I got it i never even though of trying other stands.Happy stitching.
Thank you! Oh that's great that you enjoy your lowery stand. I'm glad to hear it works well for you! Happy stitching to you too!
Ooooooo! I just bought the Woodland Enchantress!❤
Hope you enjoy it! I know I am and can't wait to put in more work on her :)
I hate to be a broken record but, crossed wing collection would be great on your fabrics. 😊 but you do what you love and and the most important thing is enjoy the journey. ❤❤ take care kiddo. ❤❤😊
Not a broken record at all :). I love the reminders ha. They are great patterns and maybe i'll pick one up at some point!
What's one more WIP? Definitely join the SAL!
Also how cool of you to find the bears! Cannot wait to see what you decide to do with them.
Clearly I'm easily enabled ha. I was so happy to find the bears... I didn't even know what the pattern was until I saw it! ha
yes, I use a Lowery - you can flip it over to get to the back of the piece to finish a thread. It is not practical to stitch on a scroll frame holding it in your hand. You could follow the Recovering Monogamous stitcher - she finds her oldest WIP and makes it her focus piece and works on it x days every month until it is finished. Then she moves on to the next oldest piece.
Glad to hear you use a lowery and are liking it so far. Yes, I definitely need something for using the scroll frame! That's a good suggestion for plans. i'll have to watch her channel. Thank you!
I use a Lowery stand and absolutely love it! Thank you so much for this video! It was amazing seeing all of your WIPs :)
Glad to know the Lowery is working for you and I'm so happy you're enjoying the channel! Happy stitching!
Of course you need to do the Lola Crow SAL! 😂
lol right?! :)
Cross stitch YOLO, do the SAL. 😜 Your fabric will be perfect for it.
See how easily I can be enabled?! lol. Thanks Sarah :)
You have done some amazing progress on your WIPs!! Thanks for the shout out! I’m so not a runner! If you see me running you know not far behind is a clown with a bloody knife!! 😂🤣😂 Have a good race, see you soon!
You're welcome, I appreciated your shout out as well! Not everyone enjoys running and that's perfectly fine! No clowns with bloody knifes please haha. Happy stitching and thank you for watching!
Get the LolaCrow SAL. Even if you don't keep up, at least you will have the pattern and releases for later.
💜💜💜
Doesn't take much for me to be enabled ;)
I love seeing your progress on Lily of the Woods and on Dimension's Woodland Fairy, they both look so beautiful! As for that Fire Dance, the designer is a discovery for me as well and it seems to be such a smart design, you made me very curious with this one and the Christmas fairy. :)
Happy stitching and good luck with your running challenges!
I'm glad you're enjoying the progress! I need to bring out Woodland Enchantress more often :). Yeah I hadn't heard of that designer either, but I loved the Fire Dance fairy. I'll have to check out the rest too. Let me know if you end up getting any of them! Thanks for your support and happy stitching!
Oh those new fabrics are gorgeous! Can’t wait to see what ends up on them! Just back from a stitch retreat over the weekend so a couple new starts and I’m now about a dozen WIPS too, using WIPGO though to try and get some progress on things and kind of working on the whole ‘if it makes me happy, I’m stitching it’ mantra and trying not to worry about how many projects i have - take care, Nic x
Hi Nic! I'm excited to see what will go on those fabrics too! ha. Oh glad you had a nice stitch retreat and got to squeeze in a few starts! I totally agree with the if it makes you happy, stitch it mantra. We will get to things when we get to them. Happy stitching!
You are making such great progress on all your WIPs. Maybe you could teach us that don't know, how to stitch on higher count fabric. I am confused on the counting between stitches. So good to see you again. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! It does take a little more concentration on higher count fabrics. I have thought about doing a stitch along with me and maybe that's something I could highlight. Glad you're enjoying the updates!
JOIN! Love viewing your stitching,
Thank you so much! Doesn't take much to enable me haha.
Stitch what strikes you at the moment. However, use the wheel, or just keep a list handy of all your WIPs, to make sure you don't forget any of them. Since I've retired I don't take direction well, so if I create a plan I can assure you I won't follow it! I like having a list though to keep track of all my starts and kits to make informed decisions on what to stitch.
I actually like that idea a lot. Maybe I don't need strict plans, but just a list to remind me of what all I have or a decision wheel to pick one randomly sometimes! Great idea :)
Way to go on your 5K!! Good luck on your half this weekend! I just signed up for a half followed by a full the next weekend in April! Loved seeing your stitching progress! SAGA start looks amazing!!! 🌴🌺🌊
Oh that's awesome! That will be a tough combo back to back. You got this!! Love talking with other runner stitchers :). Happy stitching!
I have the whole series of the ladies in the JustCrossStitch Magazine, so let me know if you want them and I can send them your way! :) I'm planning to stitch them myself, so it would be great to see someone else stitching them too!
I actually saw a video not too long ago of someone who made a desk stand out of pvc. I'll try to find it and send your way because it was such a great idea for scroll frames!
Ooh that does sound like an interesting idea!
Oh that's awesome! I just thought they were all so good! Have you stitched any of them yet? I only saw the few that were highlighted in the one I have but the August one looked very pretty too! Which one would you start first?
@@therunnerstitcher I started the Winter one from the February issue, but had to restart because the fabric I chose just wasn't working out. But I'm DYING to stitch the Halloween one!
Another wonderful flosstube! ❤❤❤ Im going to stock your videos comment section as I also want to know what kind of stand to get. I have this small wood one that is very cheap and not well made. You are flying through your Mira! Good for you! ❤❤❤
Thank you Allison! Glad you're still enjoying them! Please do and if I come to any conclusion I'll let you know. There's so many options! I'm just really loving the Mira and am so excited to move on past the skin!
Loved the video. Do the stitch along! I LOVE the idea of an aquarium and you have the perfect fabric. It was meant to be. For your teddies, did you see the new fabric called sapphire? Liz Matthews used it in her new releases and it would be an amazing color for ice skating bears 😂. Can’t wait for your next video and your progress.
Thank you! I guess it was meant to be if I have the fabric right? lol. Oh you're right those teddies would look good on Sapphire! Thanks for your support and watching the channel!
Check out the library for JustCrossStitch magazine! I'm in Toronto and I can access it digitally through Libby - and yes, I have downloaded and saved the entire Mother Nature collection. The Halloween one especially is high on my list.
That's amazing! I will definitely have to check that out. They are all so cute!
Congrats on the race and on your WIP progress!! That Winston pattern is looking so cute...just like the real thing! I'm so excited to see you stitching a Long Dog; I'd love to do one some day. I am still trying to figure out how best to rotate my WIPs. I've realised I dont like to have it to nailed down but I have certain projects I stitch on specific days, such as fancy ladies at the weekend...but I still change this as and when it works better to move things around! You'll find your own preference eventually 😄
Thank you so much! I am enjoying the Winston pattern too. Long Dogs sure are big projects but enjoyable so far! Yes I agree, I'll eventually find my preference :). I don't want it to be too strict, but at least have some guidance lol. Happy stitching!
Love all the progress you have made on Lily of the wood, don’t have floor stand here but will be watching to see what you eventually decide to get and if you like it. That SAL sounds interesting will have to check it out as I love all things beach, ocean aquarium etc.
Thank you, I am so happy with how Lilly is coming along! I'll keep you posted if I decide on one. Definitely check out LolaCrow. Her previous SALs should give you an idea of the type of work, but I think this will be a good one!
About the stand. Find Arabesca Flamingo. I do not have it. But according to most Ukrainian stitchers on youtube - it is the best choice. It also works with all the frames from this trade mark. And they have a lot. I am waiting my first stand from them. I can’t wait to try it.
They also have the stork one
Oh that's awesome! I didn't realize they made floor stands too! I will definitely check that out. I'm very happy with the scroll frame so if the stand is anything like that it'll be great. Appreciate the tip!
Lily of the Wood is gorgeous, Andrew. I think you should do the SAL because you love her designs. It is a joy watching your cross stitch journey.
Thank you so much Sarah! I am so happy with Lily so far. You're probably right about the SAL :). I am enjoying your cross stitch journey just as much! Happy stitching!
Nice progress! Saga is looking good. I'm thinking about the new Lola Crow Sal but I'm going to wait and see what it looks like for the first couple releases and then decide or if I like it I can get it after its done. The Giddy Stitcher just did a video about her Lowery Stand. It might help you decide if it will work for you. Good luck with Sunday's race!
Thank you! Yes, sometimes its best to wait and see how the SAL is turning out before committing. Can always join in later :). I'll check out her video about the Lowery stand, thank you for recommending! Appreciate your support and happy stitching!
Hi Andrew. I just had to say that Winston would be so much more huggable as a pillow. Maybe you can practice on some non- needlework fabric before you try the real thing.
That's a good idea :). I could do a practice one first! I kinda like the idea of him as a pillow :)
Love your progress! I plan on starting my very first Mirabella on my birthday in May I'm really excited for it. I've been contemplating if I'm going to do 1 over 1 on her skin. Yours is stunning!
That's great! Feel free to use #firstmirasal when you start it, I'd love to see your progress! Which Mira did you choose? 1 over 1 is definitely time consuming, but I think the final result is worth it!
I definitely will! I'm doing The Bakers Wife. I absolutely love her. I'm still deciding on what fabric I'll stitch her on.
Thank you for the wonderful video. All that amazing WIP stitching. Love your idea of stitching one thread a day on your dragon piece. Progress is progress.
Your gift stitch of the dog looks amazing! They are going to love it.
Good luck with your race!
Have a great rest of your week.
Thank you so much! I was definitely happy with my progress this time. I am really enjoying seeing the chihuhua piece come together :). Thanks for your support and happy stitching!
Ok, you just spoke out loud the argument I had with myself about the Deadly Aquarium SAL! I decided to go for it, knowing full well that I won't even try to keep up with the releases. I haven't even tried to get fabric and thread sorted out either. We can be slow together.
Haha! Glad I'm not the only one having this argument in my head :). I'm going to go for it as well, but like you I'll just take my time along the way. Glad you're joining too!
Great video Andrew! You made so much progress 😱😱 wow, great job!
I want to do the new Lola Crow SAL as well and in my mind I have the same fabric that you showed 😬 I think it will be gorgeous on it and that is definitely a “yes” for you to join the SAL 😂
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the updates! If you have the fabric in stash... you have to do the SAL right? ha. Let me know if you join and we can keep each other motivated!
@@therunnerstitcher I got the preorder - so will definitely join and hope you do too 😊
Great video! Your time is so much better than mine in a 5k, but I also choose my 5ks based on the participation tshirt haha. You should participate in the Deadly Aquarium SAL! Im still finishing my last few stitches of the Greenhouse, but am so excited for this one! The anticipation of receiving the weekly email is so exciting!
Thank you! Everyone has their own pace and thats what I love about running. In the end we all complete the same distance :). I think I will join the SAL... it's too hard to resist! Glad you'll be joining as well!
Thank you so much for mentioning us! We were so flattered to hear that you had watched our video! 🥰 I (Erinn) struggle with the same thing you mentioned about deciding which WIPs to work on. I'll be excited to hear about anything you try and hope you find a system that you like! 🤞🏻
Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching and positivity with the cross stitch community. ♥
Oh, and if you have Kindle Unlimited they have all of the Just Cross Stitch magazines available on there!
You're very welcome! I have really enjoyed your videos and I know everyone else will too! I just love being a part of this community to share our love of cross stitch :). Someone else mentioned that about the kindle so I will have to check that out! Thanks for the recommendation!
Hi Andrew!! Ok, so what you’re saying is I need to put in way more time in my “walking to support Andrew - a long”!! ::giggles:: I think the weather will be much nicer this Sunday so I’ll be out there. 🎉
Your stitching is stunning!! What method of stitching do you use (sewing, full crosses, stitch and stab)?
I have a mermaid in a Teresa Kogut design that I’ve been tempted to stitch her skin 1 over 1. Now that I’ve seen yours, I’m gonna give a try. 🤭🥰🤭
Hi Jerica! Yes, if you want, put on those walking shoes with me! I'm hoping to finish in under 2 hours to give you a time frame :). Aww thank you. I'm still learning my technique, but I do full cross or sometimes half crosses to the right and back to the left if that makes sense. Oh definitely try the skin 1 over 1. The results are stunning! How far are you in the Mermaid piece? I've got that one but haven't started yet!
Ok, I’ll follow up with you on how long I’ll be walking. Hahaha 2 hours..??? I donno but I’m going to try without ending up in Urgent Care hahaha.
I have a pitiful start on Teresa Koguts Seaworthy Sampler. I’m using a 36ct linen but I have stitched over 1 on 36ct and it’s not horrible on my eyes. But I’ll send you my last post (which was way long ago) and you’ll see I’ve stitched her tail and left off her skin because I wasn’t sure which route to go. But now that I seen the after work you did, I’m totally doing it now!! 🎉❤️🎉
You should absolutely join the Lola Crow SAL. You already have the fabric, it was meant to be LoL I would love to join, it seems like it's going to be a good one, but fish already creep me out, without the haunted effect lol Any way, great video and beautiful stitches ❤
Doesn't take much to enable me, so if I have the fabric I should right? ha. You probably should stay away from this SAL then if you don't like fish or creepy fish :) haha. Thanks for your support and glad you're enjoying the updates!
The Lowry stand is my favorite too. I've tried a few others and just didn't feel they were strong enough for my scrolls.
OK that's good to know! Thank you for your input!
Love seeing all of your WIPS - You are making great progress on them. You are a beautiful stitcher.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Thank you so much. You are so kind! I'm glad you're enjoying the progress. I'm so enjoying sharing it with you!
Hello Andrew. Your happiness in your stitching is a boost every time. Thank you!!
As far as a stand goes, I love my Lowery but as you will hear a lot I imagine, it can take a while to find your perfect arrangement. Once you do, it's great so just be patient. I use my Arabeska in my Lowery just fine.
Oh, almost forgot. Go for the SAL.
Happy stitching. 😊
Aww thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying my progress and the updates! Glad to hear you like your Lowery and that you use Arabeska with it. Yes it definitely will take some time to get my stitchy spot setup. Some day :). Thanks for your input and happy stitching!
U r just like me - as a completist I LOVE me designs that r part of a series!!! But they can also get me in trouble 😉 lololol
Ur wips are AMAZING! Such great progress! Saga looks so cool! Perfect choice for the colors! I so wish we lived closer- I need a stitching buddy w a good eye for matching designs w cool floss colors and fabrics...I'd def have a blast visiting an lns w u!! ❤
I'm having the same issue as u re the upcoming Lola crow sal...the name sounds SO intriguing n I really like all the other designs I've seen stitched by other ft'ers; but I also shouldn't add ANOTHER project to my ever-growing list! But it sounds SO fun! And I wanna do the library and greenhouse now too so it's quite the catastrophic cross stitch conundrum I'm in 😂😂😂 🪡❤️
Oh thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying my WIPs and projects. We definitely would have fun at an LNS although our wallets might not appreciate it ha. I did decide to join the LolaCrow SAL I just didn't want to miss it! Always more to stitch :)
@therunnerstitcher do u know which fabric u r going to choose for it? R u going w 1 of her suggested ones or picking ur own? I'm so nervous about which 1 to go w I'm always worried ima make the wrong choice! 🤔😭😂
I always get nervous about that too ha. I think I'm going to go with a blue/white fabric I showed in my previous video. Hopefully it'll work!
@@therunnerstitcher I think that will look awesome! I looked up all the ones she suggested and I think ima go w the 18ct fiber on a whim one cuz I really like the mottling...123 is sold out right now tho but I'm heading over to my lns in a bit to see if they have something close! Tysm for replying and putting up w all my questions I hope I'm not too annoying 🤪🤣 I don't have many to talk xstitch w so it's awesome to have u and some other ft'ers to bounce stuff off of! Ur the best 🪡❤️
Your fabric was not cut straight before it was serged. When you get a piece like that you can pull a thread out. I would look for the line that would be near the top of the shortest edge. And pull out that entire thread. You will then see that top fabric area skinny on one side and gradually get larger. Not using that ditch that the pulled thread made, cut that top section off. And waaalaaa you have a straight edge. You can repeat that process on any side ( all 4 if needed) that is not straight.. hope all that made sense. Enjoy your stitching journey. You have some wonderful projects
Ok that's what I thought that it wasn't cut straight! Thank you for the tips on how to get it straighter. I might try that. Will it cause any harm or issues with framing if I leave it as is? Glad you're enjoying the journey so far :)
I'm trying to decide if I want to swap out the fabric for Woodland Enchantress for an ez grid aida. I haven't opened the kit yet and I've got too many WIPs.... but I've got dreams and plans! Also, I don't enjoy the metallic flosses so I'd lose my mind if I were to save it all to the end.
If I were to restart Woodland I would definitely consider a different fabric! You're probably right about the metallic floss.... I should space it out and do some of it now ha.
New fan! Loved seeing all your WIPs! Winston has to be my favorite ❤ on the mermaid - what are all the little strappy things on it?? I noticed Hathaway girls have on theirs too! (I’m newer to cross stitch - so many new thing out there!)
Thanks so much! 😊. Glad you're enjoying the channel and seeing my updates! The Winston piece is turning out good so far, I think it'll be a nice gift! On the mermaid they are little magnetic cords to hold the extra fabric in place so it doesn't get in the way! I bought mine on amazon and they definitely come in handy for some projects!
Oh perfect!! I need those!!!
Did you get Winston stitch from LuthienArt? She’s doing a custom for me now and she’s so talented!! Take care!!
I actually had this pattern before I discovered LuthienArt, but I did win a custom Winston chart from them so that will be coming eventually!
Love your Long Dog start and your Mira is looking amazing!
Thank you so much Jen!
I laughed when you described hunkering down for your stitchy weekend w/ snacks and booze-I do the exact same thing when my wife is gone for the weekend 😂
You’re making such amazing progress on all your WIPs 🙌🏻 glad you’re enjoying them all. Thanks for sharing ✨
haha right?! I wanted to have everything ready so I didn't have to leave the apartment haha! Glad I'm not alone in that :). Thanks for watching and I'm glad you're enjoying the progress as much as I am! Happy stitching!
Yea the haunted house won! Andrew you are becoming a seasoned stitcher shopping on the destash sites, expanding into scroll frames and now looking for a stand. It’s so cool that you found the patterns your mom and aunt stitched. I stitch in hand although it can be challenging with larger pieces. You might find it difficult to part with Winston when it is done. Happy stitching.
Yes, I love the haunted holiday house too! Aww thank you. I'm definitely still learning a lot as I go, but am enjoying expanding my knowledge base! Winston will be hard to part with, but it's going to a good home :). Happy stitching to you as well!
I love Woodland Enchantress. It will beautiful when it is finished. Winston is soooo cute. That black pops on your fabric. He will be adorable when you are finished stitching him. Go for the SAL. The fabric you showed is beautiful and hey, what’s one more WIP to add to your collection. I have a zillion WIPS. I’m a seasonal stitcher so if it doesn’t get done this year, there’s always next year. This year I have tried to complete each seasonal stitch I start. I am also trying to pull out different pieces and work on them a bit at a time. I’m keeping up with things I’ve started this year for the most part. Good luck with your race this weekend and have fun.
Thank you so much! I am really enjoying my projects and you're right... what's one more I will love? ha. I'm glad you're keeping up with your seasonal projects this year. You're right there will always be next year! Thanks for your support and watching the channel!
Hi Andrew, I enjoy your Flosstubes so much ! Your stitch work is so beautiful you do a great job.. The teddy bears would look cute on tote bag. Till next time have a great day
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words and I"m so glad you're enjoying the channel. I'm loving this art and learning so much :). You're right they would be cute on a tote bag, good idea! Happy stitching!
Running Season is in full swing…rain or shine the group gathers. You had a personal retreat weekend! The stitching did see good progress…congratulations. I am in the same boat…since starting my flosstube the amount of projects going at one time has multiplied..I have three stitches that are daily and I put the others in a planned rotation….well that is what I will try next.
Yes, this is my favorite time of year to be running! Not hot and humid but not freezing cold ha. My personal retreat saw a bunch of progress and I was so happy to squeeze in some stitchy time with Yoshi! That's definitely how it goes with projects and it's hard to know how to rotate through them when you love them all! ha
Hello Andrew I enjoy seeing your progress. Winston is so cute try making the pillow it’s not difficult. Your choice of floor stand is ideal. You must of been delighted that you managed to get it all in. Do the SAL no time to procrastinate. Look forward to seeing your next video. Happy stitching
Thank you so much for your support and I"m glad you're enjoying the progress! I was so excited when I got to the end and SAGA fit :). Happy stitching to you as well!
I love your enthusiasm for your stitching and I enjoy seeing your progress on your WIPs. I have all the 2023 issues of Just Stitch if you would like to have the charts for all those seasonal ladies I can pull them out of the magazines and send them to you. Happy Stitching🪡
Thank you so much! I really do enjoy this hobby of ours :). Oh that is so kind of you, I really appreciate you offering! I actually had someone already send me a copy of them so I should be all set. I had no idea anyone would even offer! Thank you so much though. Happy stitching!
I was so happy when I went on to FlossTube and saw that you had just put up a new video. I love watching you and all your projects are amazing. I just love all your little dragons, they are so cute. I have both of Lola Crows SALS I bought them both last year haven’t started them yet but I have them both kitted up and ready to go. Didn’t know that she was starting a new one. Sounds like it’s going to be amazing too. If I join you have to join to 😂 so we can motivate each other to keep up. I’m just kidding. Congrats on your race. Sounds like you enjoyed yourself. Good luck on your next race. Looking forward to your next FlossTube ❤
Aww thank you so much! Happy you're coming back for more! Lola Crows previous SALs were so good I bet this will be too. If I join I will definitely need your motivation! ha. Maybe we should? :). Thanks for your support and happy stitching!!
Great stitching Andrew. Loved watching your progress.
Thanks so much! I appreciate that and glad you're enjoying the progress! Happy stitching!
Hi, Andrew! Move your videos! My daughter and I are doing the Coast Guard Marathon in April in Elizabeth City, NC. She’s a retiree and running the Half Marathon. I’m 72 and doing the virtual 5km. We’re
Looking forward to being together for this weekend. I have the Just Cross Stitch Magazine you received from your friend, Jen. I’m actually stitching the front page Christmas stitch! So many beautiful patterns in the magazines! Enjoy tracking down the other patterns if you so choose!! Keep the videos coming, you’re doing a wonderful job!!
Aww thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words and that you're enjoying seeing my progress. Oh that's so cool that you've got the race weekend lined up with your daughter! That will be so much fun, you'll have to let me know how it goes! The cover project is so cute as well, I bet that will turn out wonderful! Thanks for your support and happy stitching!
Hi Wendy from Swansea, again. I have a Lowery Stand which is fine, but my husband got me a Nurge lap stand, it’s fabulous, they also do a floor stand, you can angle whatever way you want. I’m hoping Santa brings the floor stand for Christmas!
Thanks for your input! I'll look into the nurge stands as well Wendy. Thank you!
Congratulations on your latest race. I love your videos.
Aww thank you so much! Appreciate that and glad you're enjoying them!
Hi hun. Love seeing all yr lovely wips and projects. I used to have a rotation, but still ended up stitching on a few pieces only. Now I've just chosen 1 project full coverage I want to finish asap, and 2 sals. I sometimes pick up other pieces but not in any order as I have so many pieces. Love hearing about yr running. I'm getting back into running after a gap because of some problems. I've been on a treadmill for a few years now. Been thinking of taking it back outside. Think it's hard after so long and I'm not that fit anymore. It's just getting the courage to do so again. Keep yr fingers crossed for me please. Lovely to catch up with you and yr video again. Xx
Aww thank you so much. Glad you're enjoying the updates! Yes with more projects it's hard to touch them all. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and picking up running again! It is tough after not doing it for a while, but I know you can!! Maybe try a mix of walking/running in the beginning so it's not so intimidating? Keep me updated! Happy stitching!
Great video. You have great progress on all your pieces. I can't help you with rotation. I am purely a mood stitcher. Sometimes I have challenges in my groups and of course WIPGO, so I do plan those, but I really enjoy just stitching on what I want. I am also thinking about doing the aquarium SAL. I am finishing the library this year, so I will need one to replace it lol. And there is always room for another SAL lol. I love the Cottage. I am not loving all the houses, but I will eventually get some of them. I just got the snowman pilgrim from last year. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much :). Yes I feel you... I think I'm a mood stitcher too, but then I feel bad about the neglected pieces ha. I'll keep thinking. Ooh the new sal will be a great replacement for the library! Everyone seems to say join, so I probably will ha. The snowmen are great too!
Hi Andrew! Are you single?
Isn't it fun that Mirabilias actually come together so quickly? I've always loved how the colors just flow so easily from one shade to another. 🪡👠
They are so beautiful! I know I'm loving mine and you're right I'm surprised how quick it's been. I've gotten to a point where I don't want to put her down :)
@@therunnerstitcher I'm at the same point with my Garden Verses.. and finishing her will be just a little bittersweet.
Garden Verses looks beautiful. A bittersweet end for sure!
Winston is going to be so cute! Fun to see him come to life 🙂
Happy Stitching!
Thank you, I think so too! Glad you're enjoying it as well :). Happy stitching to you too!
