Oh how I love your videos! Your so “real” and your sweet spirit is contagious. As a new stitcher who has only UA-cam videos to learn and stitch with, you always make me smile and feel like I can do anything. I want to tell you about MY guardian angel. About 20 yrs ago while canning green beans with the pressure canner, I went to take a jar out of the canner and the top exploded. Something not even my mom had ever seen before. She grabbed a cold cloth and off to the ER we went. I came home with just some steam burns on my neck. When we got home we realized the extent of the miracle. There were beans stuck to the ceiling ABOVE where my head had been, there was glass and beans BEHIND where I had been standing and there was glass and beans across the bar into the other room to the right of where I was standing. But I had NO beans or glass on me (not even on my shirt) No cuts. Not even on the hand that was directly above lifting the jar. My poor guardian angel is probably still flying around with beans stuck to her but I am eternally grateful for the protection 🥰 Thank you from a newby stitcher, you are greatly appreciated just as you are ❤️
Tears came to my eyes when you talked about your Angel encounter. In your time of need, you were granted comfort. Lots of engineers in your family. Both my husband and daughter are electrical engineers. Funny how we’re both cross stitchers. I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
He was an angel. I'm so glad you're doing videos again, Vonna. I'm feeling the inspiration to stitch the Amish pieces😁yours are beautiful! It's good to see your children all doing so well. Good job mom and Keith!
The drums are a great way to make something out of a project you no longer want to stitch. The drums are pretty. The wedding will be fabulous. Raspberry house is my vote. A great gift is one that is hard to give away. Dimension kits are beautiful and very detailed. An angel was there to protect you.🌻🌻
My vote is Raspberry house. Vonna, you are so talented and so kind to share your love if stitching and to help us all save those pieces that we no longer want to stitch. You are so gracious as well. Enjoy the wedding after all of your hard work. Keep smiling, it adds value to your face.
Always a joy listening to you! My thoughts are with you as you plan your daughters wedding….. take care and remember to take time for yourself! What a wonderful family you have😘
I don’t understand why viewers feel they have the right to criticize flossTubers. Keep your own style. No one is forced to watch! I love your positivity!
I’m sooo happy that we did the interview because I feel like we were meant to be friends! Your stitching is beautiful, as always. And as Alabama sings “there are angels amongst us” 💜 😇 You should check out Yani Stitcher, she does beautiful Mira’s with her own color conversions. Your daughter is soooo talented!
ALABAMA! I saw them in concert several times...what a song and what a group! Yani Stitcher, she's on my list to watch....thanks for reminding me! Yes, definitely a God intervention in you and I crossing paths. Very strongly feel that way - love you Becca!
NEWS FLASH""" YOU ARE PERFECT!!! NEVER CHANGE !!!!!!! You were def were visited by an angel!!! I , too, have been visited by an angel!! Praise the Lord. Are you a nurse? I am but have retired. God called me to be a nurse the moment I was born , and I have seen many miracles over the years...You are a blessing to your family and viewers...I am so glad I found you, my niece told me about you!!
Start with Raspberry Homecoming is my vote. I have “Voice of the Shepherd” kitted to start here in May!!! Told in the garden charts are beautiful. I believe in Angels!!!!
Thank you so much for doing floss tube videos and sharing your Angel story. I too believe there are Angels among us and you were lucky enough to interact with one!! Blessings to you and your family.
Ellie, you have such a God given talent! Congratulations on your awards! Your art is beautiful! Vonna your stitching is beautiful on every thing you stitch I just love your channel and I always watch a tutorial before I finish anything ! Thank you so much for doing those and not charging us for them too❤️you are so sweet to share your skills and talent with us all! Love it all! 🌸💖🌸 I vote for Blueberry homecoming I just ordered that chart! Gorgeous! Blessings to you Always💖 and YES I also believe in Angels and I have a story one day I’ll share also! Love this! God is so good!
I vote for Raspberry Homecoming! I believe in Angels & believe God sends them to protect us, we may not know it at the time but you can look back and realize. You just happened to visually see your Angel at that time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching & knowledge of stitching. Have a great day! 🙂
I was so excited to see this posted! I’m a makeup lover - wear it everyday even if I don’t leave the house because it makes me happy! You look really pretty in this video. You want that extra bit of makeup for those wedding pics! Have you tried a copper look? It really makes blue eyes pop. Best wishes & prayers for Jacob’s job search. He’s smart to move out of a stagnant job. Ellie’s art is stunning! Congrats to her for her wins. I repeat myself - doesn’t bother me!😂 If you do it’s a good thing because my mind wanders and I don’t want to miss anything. 😁 I might just join in your #toldinagardensal/non-sal. I’m going to copy you and dye some fabric that color green. It’s perfect and so pretty! I’m like you are with SALs when it comes to book clubs even though I’m an avid reader. My vote is for raspberry because I love raspberries!☺️
I have bought a huge pallet and I need to try the copper tones next :) I put makeup on most days, but some days I just want to have a clean face HA! Then I think: Lordy I'm ugly! So next I put it on! Raspberry is winning by a mile! See you next month and thanks for your kind visit!
Omg your daughters art is beautiful. Truly enjoy your videos, your tutorials are so easy to follow. Thank you very much. I’m a senior, Canadian and have been stitching since I was a young girl but was stuck in the mud. The floss tube community has opened my eyes to so many new fabrics, flosses, patterns and ideas. Keep the videos coming!!
You are such an amazing lady! Thanks for sharing your angel story! I truly believe you and I believe we have guardian angels watching over us! I love that you showed your daughters beautiful drawings. She has such talent! Love the drums and the Told In the Garden pieces. They are so beautiful! Thanks for being you and for always being real! Thanks for sharing all of your talents with each of us! ❤️
Vonna…you are such a joy and such a wonderful treasure for the crossstitch community. I’m with you, that man was an angel! What a wonderful family you have. Hope your son gets the job he wants. Can’t wait to see your decorations for the wedding! (P. S. You show your pieces just fine!)
Vonna, I don't think you repeat yourself. I think you are very clear! And some just feel the need to critique...no worries! We adore you! You are such a professional and I admire you so very much💕 Sending my love to you and yours❣
I kept hearing your name in all the other Floss Tube channels I watch….. ‘Vonna this.. Vonna that…..”. WELL….. I found you this morning and what a delight!! I’ll be ‘bidge watching’ them ALL this week ; and nary a dish will get washed, nor a shred of clothing will get laundered until I’m done. You Rock!!!
Vonna let me first say you are looking fabulous-loving the pink! loving all your finishes and wips. Thank you for all you do for the cross stitch community! 🧵💗
Vonna, you always make me smile. I really enjoyed your angel story and I absolutely believe you and agree that it he was an angel sent to protect you and keep you safe. Your story makes me want to stitch an angel! Best of luck with your daughter’s wedding! I hope you get to relax and enjoy it. As always, thank you for your very generous finishing videos. They are always my go-to when I finish a project.
I think that the idea of making drums from projects you think will not finish is great!!! All the drums you showed are beautiful. Angels do exist, I believe and they are always with us. All your wips are gorgeous!!! Good luck with your son´s wedding preparations, that is a lot of work!!!
I won't! I enjoy it too much, that sharing and the interaction - and as I age, I am finding and learning that it is OK for me to do things for ME! Hugs to you, friend!
Beautiful stitching and finishes, thank you for sharing. I like the raspberry farm design. Hebrews 13 v 2 “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
I am very new to floss tubes and I have to tell you that you brighten my day. I used to cross stitch in the nineties but mostly on sweatshirts or small ornaments but have started cross stitching again. I lost the love of my life after 48 years of marriage quite unexpectedly in a car accident. I am like you in that family is everything and I have 2 children, 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren and am very much involved in their lives. I have just started cross stitching again and it has helped me so much and am loving it. I am going to start Told in a Garden - Dairy because my husbands late Grandfather owned a dairy and I even have a milk bottle from that Dairy. I love your floss tubes and look forward to each one and your tutorials. I am going to try and make the snow globes for my family.
Congratulations to all your children on their accomplishments! So much to be proud of as a mother. Best wishes for a beautiful wedding on June 4! I vote for the Blueberry Homecoming. I have a MLI story for you. I had a stitching friend many years ago who stitched a couple of the MLI angels. Because they were such time-consuming pieces, she then taught her husband how to stitch and got him hooked on stitching the angels. No kidding! Got the angel stitching done twice as fast with two of them stitching!! BTW, great angel story. Of course, he was really an angel. Enjoy the wedding!
I'm going to hobby lobby! Love the Jesus. Your daughters art is magnificent. The eyes are special in each piece. Some of the almost made me cry. Your drums are beautiful. Thanks so much for your time and sharing
Hi Vonna! Loved your angel story… you definitely had a angel watching over you that evening! You have enabled me once again! Enjoy your summer! See you next time!
Oh, I forgot to add. The main reason I purchase the primitive magazine is because of your finishing articles. They are always very informative with wonderful ideas.
The eye makeup is perfect! You are going to be a beautiful Mother of the Bride! I think you are beautiful on the inside, too. Yo have done such a good job raising your children, They are so talented and confident. Love all your projects.
What a talented young woman your daughter is. Prayers for your son. I also believe in angels, I have my own experence with an angel. Blueberry Homecoming.
Another stitcher who says aida like I do! A-ee-da! Yes, I’m always corrected but I’ve been stitching for 40 years and that’s how I was taught! I loved that the great Pat Carson also said it the way I was taught! Beautiful family and of course beautiful stitching and finishes! I enjoy you and I have a hard time with the cranky people criticizing you and being ugly! But you just be you because you are beautiful!
Crankies are jealous because I try to shine and they want to blow me out....too bad for them, I have a long wick :) Thanks so much for your sweet words and always loyal visits!
I have an angel story! Well angels. So my youth group was going on a mission trip to South America and my pastor wanted us all to come up to pray for us. We came up probably 40 of us adults and teens. I had my eyea closed and everyone started praying. I thought wow the whole church must have come up to pray for us because I heard a lot of voices praying. This went on for about 10 minutes. After everyone said amen I opened my eyes and looked around and it was just the original people standing there in a circle. I literally heard at least 200 people praying for us right around us. It was amazing. I asked some of them if they had heard the angels praying and they said no. No one else had heard but me.
Oh Vonna, went on your Blog and watched this video. Took me forever since you're so kind to mention other Floss Tubers (which I just had to visit). You have such a beautiful family. Congratulations on your continued success. You are much loved in the Cross Stitch World and many have begun to regularly mention you as their inspiration.
I love your videos. You not only show us what you have done, but you inspire us to try new and different things on our own. I learn from your techniques and change and expand to make unique treasures of my own. Angels are real and I collect angels of all mediums to remind me that we never walk alone.
Hello this is Marianne from South Jersey I knew it cross stitch your family is awesome your daughter's art is beautiful your makeup is beautiful so nice to see the art the eyes look so real I'm enjoying this thank you for sharing have a good day I've been to shipwana Indiana for a quilt show I think you're Amish cross stitch is so nice
Well sweet lady you got me choked up again! When you started sharing your road story I got goose bumps and by the end my eyes were leaking. I too believe in angels-if you believe in God how can you not!?! I know my husband and myself was saved by an angel from being run over once. We were staying up in Big Bear, California in wintertime. We were walking on the side of the road to a restaurant for dinner, it was snowy and dark. I'm clumsy so I was walking very carefully and watching every step. Rob, my husband, was walking behind me as we were close to the road. All of a sudden it felt like I was pushed from behind and fell hard. Rob bent down and said what happened and are you okay!?! Just then a car pulled out of a gas station across from us too quicky and couldn't turn left fast enough. He slammed on his brakes and stopped right past where we would have been. If I had not fallen we both would have been run over. We both realized we had been saved and we're shaken up and thankful. Sorry for the long story. Thank you for all you share and for being you. Love you a bushel and a peck! Oh! And I love how you did your eyes.... beautiful!!
I vote for Blueberry! Oh Holly Hobby made me cry. I think my mom and I loved as much as my daughter! That Mira conversion is gorgeous!! My Miras are all mermaids except for the mother/daughter one! That blowing your socks off image made me bust out laughing. I just love you💕
Hi Vonna! Love seeing your stitching and watching your videos! I can't wait to watch more of your progress on Lady of the Flag. I vote for Raspberry Homecoming. In His Hands is beautiful! Best wishes for Katie's wedding! Ellie is a beautiful artist! Have a great day! Until next time.....
So many lovely things. My Angel story. I was a new driver and tried to do a right hand turn without enough time on a wet road. The oncoming cars should have hit me but angels lifted my car and put it safely in a drive way. My goodness you really have gone down a Nora - Mirabilia -told in my garden rabbit hole. Can’t wait to see all your progress. Best wishes for the weddings.
You always bring a ray of sunshine to my day. Thank you! You are how I discovered Flosstube after watching a finishing tutorial of yours and what a world it has opened for me. I now have my own Flosstube and have made so many new stitching friends because of it and your beautiful finishing and stitching. Best wishes for a beautiful wedding and a lifetime of happiness for your daughter.
My goodness. Catherine met your angel. while she was telling the story I was trying to remember where I'd heard a similar story and she said she'd heard you! There are angels who help us.
Love your videos! Angels are real!! Empty nesting is awesome 😊 Love your sweet spirit and sense of humor! You’re so right about this community ❤️ I love that snowman 😊 Have a blast at the wedding! ~ Liz
Hi Vonna... you have kept me company and entertained as I fixed Pizza for dinner. Beautiful stitching and Love your idea with your drums for partially finished pieces.
So wonderful to visit with Vonna today! You are such an inspiration to so many of us. I had no idea I would be thinking of stitching a Told in the Garden... but I struck it lucky at the thrift store yesterday finding 5 of them that I think the universe is saying something. I have no business starting anything but may be joining in your start-a-long! Wishing you and your family all the wonderful blessings for Katie's wedding!
Ellie's art is just amazing. I believe I could see Sophie's approval of "mom's" art as well. I just started my first Dimensions called "Call of the Wilderness". After watching Needleberry Stitcher talk about how she does Dimension kits gave me courage to start this one which I have had for ages. I am really enjoying my stitch. Your fabric matches the Raspberry House so I believe it should be next. Will be thinking of you in the next 3 weeks as you prepare for the wedding. May the Lord shine down on you and give you strength for the day and please enjoy the day as much as Katie and her husband. Take care girl.😀
So great to visit with you Vonna!!! I love your Holly Hobby sewing machine! What a sweet gift! I still have my Holly Hobbie girls that I embroidered in grade nine home ec class and I just love them. What a precious gift for your aunt. Marilyn and Nora were and are so incredibly talented. It was fun seeing your WIPs and your planned projects. I am currently working on Catch the Wind. I believe in angels and you definitely had one watching over you on that stormy night. I am sure Katie's wedding will be beautiful. Thanks so much Vonna!
My vote for your stitch in the green fabric: Blueberry Homecoming. Your videos always make me so happy - you are so genuine! Such a joy to watch and to learn from. Your angel story gave me chills. I, too, have angel stories. I believe the angel overseeing me is my first husband who passed away 19 years ago at the age of 47. You were so blessed to have that “protector” in that very scary situation - and the fact you appreciated it and to this recognize it for the miracle it was. You are a great joy to many!
Golly what sweet words that are so soothing to my heart! THANK YOU! Would absolutely love to hear your story of your angel - thetwistedstitcher@gmail.com HUGS to you and thanks for visiting with me today!
I haven’t been watching you tube videos for long but found yours and thoroughly enjoy it. It’s like talking with a friend. I love your finishes, your ideas etc….. happy wedding day to your daughter!!!
Hi Vonna, So happy you are back. I have learned so much from your tutorials. Such a talent which seems to have rubbed off on your children. My, you must be so proud! I did stitch the Amish pieces many years ago for my sister. A whole wall full. They were so much fun. Great to see them again. I also did a few angels and such…..once five in a year. I was a teacher so the summer was strictly stitching. Now I am into samplers and Brenda Gervais, Stacey Nash, scarlet House, scattered Seed and really so many more. I cannot help myself. I have big dreams but must live to 300 to complete! It really is my happy place and I thank God everyday for this opportunity. God bless you and enjoy the wedding. I imagine it will be perfect. I will be waiting for your next video. Bonnie
Hi Vonna, i know you from story's from other flosstubers and your finishes. But i like this flosstube. It's so nice to watch you when i am stitching. Have a good time.
VONNA!!! I got chills when you told your story of going in the ditch! I think that was your Guardian Angel who came to take care of you. That was so amazing! 😇 Thank you so much for sharing that with us 🥰. I also thought every one of the projects you shared with us was so beautiful. You are such a talented lady, with such a big heart ♥️! You’re truly an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for sharing your bright spirit with us. God bless you, my friend! Meline
Wow!! Amazing video! First of all, you be you, which is wonderful ! You hold everything wonderfully! Your first childhood finishes were so sweet & beautiful, love!🥰 All your drum finishes are fabulous, what a fantastic idea!!🎉 I can’t wait to see your finish of The Lady of the Flag, perfect fabric!!❤️ Finally loved hearing about your sweet family & the angel story!! I enjoyed your video so much! I am praying for Jacob , you, your daughter & wedding! May God bless your family with the desires of your heart!❤️ Enjoy the Wedding & your daughter that day!!💖💝🌺💐🥰Oh yes, I pick Raspberry Homecoming!!😊😘
Vonna, I so enjoy your videos, your stories about life and your family. Best wishes on Katie’s wedding. I hope you can enjoy the day and not be stressed by the events and all your preparations. Thank you for sharing your life and stitching with us!
My boss is from Indiana and I feel like you gals would be best of friends. I love your story about an angel! My mom often sees miracles in her life and her bf doesn’t see them as miracles. I think she would be encouraged by your story because that’s how believers are. Miracles are not just coincidences and angels are real! When you have faith God is real. It’s just unbelievable majesty :) I’m glad an angel came to be with you in a difficult moment. I believe you even if the cop didn’t get it.
Oh your double dyed blue is BEAUTIFUL!!! I have everything to stitch Princess Eliana…. Except time. To many things in front of her. I always love seeing your finishes.
You have such a wonderful spirit and special gifts from God. Your family is so special and blessed in many ways. So glad to see you again so soon. I like blueberries the best, so that one gets my vote. Hope you have a wonderful stitching week.
You are going to do great at the wedding if your finishes are any indication. I so enjoyed your flosstube. I'll be back. I always love to find another Catholic stitcher. I love the face of Jesus you got. I'm going to look for it. Thank you. You have a lovely family.
Girl, my Angel was like Nicolas Cage in City of Angels!! I was stuck on an icy hill in my little Colt, and I was looking about ‘what should I do’ mode - no phone - and I look in the rear view to see this beautiful guy in a long black coat and leather cowboy type hat. He pushed me up over the hill, so I turn to wave and thank him … gone! Just gone! 😇 I vote for the Raspberry piece. So glad you’re back! All the wedding prep looks great - you’ve got this with happy thoughts and best wishes for the lovely couple! 💗🕊💙
Vonna, your stitching and finishing work is stunning. I love stitching samplers, but have a soft spot for angels. I love the Lavender and Lace angels and have stitched most of the Marbek angels. Enjoy the wedding!
I vote Raspberry Homecoming. Your daughter is such an artist-- wow! Best wishes for a wonderful wedding. When my mom passed away, I told our three-year-old son that we were going to the farm, but grandma wouldn't be there. He said, "I know, mommy. She's the dark-haired angel (my mom had dark hair)." Whoa!
My vote is blueberry homecoming. The Mira conversion was terrific. I’m not much of a purple gal but that was stunning. You could almost pick those flowers. 💐 Blessings for the upcoming wedding and prayers for the job search.
Your angel story gave me goosebumps. I believe in angels too because there are too many of those stories not to. Thanks for all you do. I hope you take time to enjoy the wedding. Hugs.
Wow…the first thing I thought when I saw you was that pink is your color! Also, that you are so beautiful Vonna. When you described Becca…It was how I would describe you ❤️ Love your description of your new look….
Thanks for sharing how you start and then lose momentum and then turn those projects into something else! Love the drums and I'll be watching for your next PNPS excerpt article. Also thanks for making needle supply purchases like dimensions kits, hobby lobby fabric, etc. perfectly acceptable choices. I feel intimated by some toff stitchers as they seem to only use expensive supplies. You are a lovely person. And yes, there is a heavenly world that is very present. 👼
Love seeing you stitch Told in the Garden. I think those and Prairie School Santa were what pulled me into stitching 30 years ago. I now have 9 of them hanging in my home and love them. Grandpa’s barn and Grandma’s house are among my favorites. I’ve stitched Raspberries- love it and Blueberry is on my list to do. Thanks for the flosstube recommendations
Thank you! I love your stitching! I am just starting to stitch again and have fallen in love with 10 count! I am trying 14 count again soon. I am stitching a Nora fairy for my daughter in law. It will be interesting to see how long it takes me to stitch! A wedding! What a joyous occasion! Don’t get so crazy you can’t enjoy it too!
Thank you Vonna I really enjoy your flosstube and so pleased you came back. I love your drums such a wonderful way to finish your stitches you have retired. I vote for the blueberry one. Enjoy your daughters wedding
What lovely finishes you shared! I liked how you saved the partially stitched designs to create a finishing that was special! Wow, that colorful portrait of you is beautiful - fabulous job Ellie!
Your daughter is truly talented. Pictures are beautify. I love your finished projects. I guess I just admire your stitching. The Nora Corbett is lovely on the white. Stitch the Raspberry Homecoming first. I enjoyed your story about ending up in a ditch and the angle. I believe in angles too. I felt the presents of an angle or Jesus himself when my husband died almost 25 years ago. I love your finishes and yes, they do inspire me to think outside the box in crating my own finishes. Thank you for your inspiration. It is so funny that you mentioned your birthday on July 5th, I have two grandchildren born on July 5rh, to the same mother 16 years apart. I know the wedding will be beautiful....enjoy every minute of it and know that it will all work out. "Man plans and God laughs."
I recommend that you watch the Curious Crafters. I think you will appreciate their approach to their projects and bonus, they’re fun. Thank you for your video. I along with the whole cross stitch world LOVE your tutorials. Hope the wedding is fabulous.
I’ve recently started watching your cross stitch videos and love them. Can’t wait to see your finished Fall on the Farm with your border. 😊 THANK YOU so much for creating it.
Oh how I love your videos! Your so “real” and your sweet spirit is contagious. As a new stitcher who has only UA-cam videos to learn and stitch with, you always make me smile and feel like I can do anything. I want to tell you about MY guardian angel. About 20 yrs ago while canning green beans with the pressure canner, I went to take a jar out of the canner and the top exploded. Something not even my mom had ever seen before. She grabbed a cold cloth and off to the ER we went. I came home with just some steam burns on my neck. When we got home we realized the extent of the miracle. There were beans stuck to the ceiling ABOVE where my head had been, there was glass and beans BEHIND where I had been standing and there was glass and beans across the bar into the other room to the right of where I was standing. But I had NO beans or glass on me (not even on my shirt) No cuts. Not even on the hand that was directly above lifting the jar. My poor guardian angel is probably still flying around with beans stuck to her but I am eternally grateful for the protection 🥰
Thank you from a newby stitcher, you are greatly appreciated just as you are ❤️
Oh my word, she must have stood right in front of you and shielded you from harm
You did have an Angel watching over you. I know someone that wasn't so luck She had scars from where the beans hit her chest.
Tears came to my eyes when you talked about your Angel encounter. In your time of need, you were granted comfort.
Lots of engineers in your family. Both my husband and daughter are electrical engineers. Funny how we’re both cross stitchers.
I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
He was an angel. I'm so glad you're doing videos again, Vonna. I'm feeling the inspiration to stitch the Amish pieces😁yours are beautiful! It's good to see your children all doing so well. Good job mom and Keith!
I only have one Nora, that is a pixie I think. It’s Gwen, & I haven’t started it yet
"In His Hands" is stunning! I love "Him". I love "birds". Everything about it just spoke to me.
The drums are a great way to make something out of a project you no longer want to stitch. The drums are pretty. The wedding will be fabulous. Raspberry house is my vote. A great gift is one that is hard to give away. Dimension kits are beautiful and very detailed. An angel was there to protect you.🌻🌻
Raspberry is clear winner :) Starting tonight! Yep, angels among us for sure! Hugs to you sweet friend! Have fantastic day!
Hi! You've a gorgeous photo there! Just decided to stop by and say hi. I hope I get a thank you 🌹
My vote is Raspberry house. Vonna, you are so talented and so kind to share your love if stitching and to help us all save those pieces that we no longer want to stitch. You are so gracious as well. Enjoy the wedding after all of your hard work. Keep smiling, it adds value to your face.
Always a joy listening to you! My thoughts are with you as you plan your daughters wedding….. take care and remember to take time for yourself! What a wonderful family you have😘

I have bought a huge pallet and I need to try the copper tones next :) I put makeup on most days, but some days I just want to have a clean face HA! Then I think: Lordy I'm ugly! So next I put it on! Raspberry is winning by a mile! See you next month and thanks for your kind visit!
Omg your daughters art is beautiful. Truly enjoy your videos, your tutorials are so easy to follow. Thank you very much. I’m a senior, Canadian and have been stitching since I was a young girl but was stuck in the mud. The floss tube community has opened my eyes to so many new fabrics, flosses, patterns and ideas. Keep the videos coming!!
You are such an amazing lady! Thanks for sharing your angel story! I truly believe you and I believe we have guardian angels watching over us! I love that you showed your daughters beautiful drawings. She has such talent! Love the drums and the Told In the Garden pieces. They are so beautiful! Thanks for being you and for always being real! Thanks for sharing all of your talents with each of us! ❤️
Vonna…you are such a joy and such a wonderful treasure for the crossstitch community. I’m with you, that man was an angel! What a wonderful family you have. Hope your son gets the job he wants. Can’t wait to see your decorations for the wedding! (P. S. You show your pieces just fine!)
Vonna, I don't think you repeat yourself. I think you are very clear! And some just feel the need to critique...no worries! We adore you! You are such a professional and I admire you so very much💕 Sending my love to you and yours❣
I kept hearing your name in all the other Floss Tube channels I watch….. ‘Vonna this.. Vonna that…..”. WELL….. I found you this morning and what a delight!! I’ll be ‘bidge watching’ them ALL this week ; and nary a dish will get washed, nor a shred of clothing will get laundered until I’m done. You Rock!!!
Vonna let me first say you are looking fabulous-loving the pink! loving all your finishes and wips. Thank you for all you do for the cross stitch community! 🧵💗
Vonna, you always make me smile. I really enjoyed your angel story and I absolutely believe you and agree that it he was an angel sent to protect you and keep you safe. Your story makes me want to stitch an angel! Best of luck with your daughter’s wedding! I hope you get to relax and enjoy it. As always, thank you for your very generous finishing videos. They are always my go-to when I finish a project.
I think that the idea of making drums from projects you think will not finish is great!!! All the drums you showed are beautiful. Angels do exist, I believe and they are always with us. All your wips are gorgeous!!! Good luck with your son´s wedding preparations, that is a lot of work!!!
Vonna-pls don't ever leave us again!! This was the best flosstube ever. Oh I got a angel tooooo. Tks for sharing and caring about us.
I won't! I enjoy it too much, that sharing and the interaction - and as I age, I am finding and learning that it is OK for me to do things for ME! Hugs to you, friend!
Beautiful stitching and finishes, thank you for sharing. I like the raspberry farm design.
Hebrews 13 v 2
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
What a beautiful gift to Austin. Gods Blessings on his conversion to Catholicism.
I am very new to floss tubes and I have to tell you that you brighten my day. I used to cross stitch in the nineties but mostly on sweatshirts or small ornaments but have started cross stitching again. I lost the love of my life after 48 years of marriage quite unexpectedly in a car accident. I am like you in that family is everything and I have 2 children, 5 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren and am very much involved in their lives. I have just started cross stitching again and it has helped me so much and am loving it. I am going to start Told in a Garden - Dairy because my husbands late Grandfather owned a dairy and I even have a milk bottle from that Dairy. I love your floss tubes and look forward to each one and your tutorials. I am going to try and make the snow globes for my family.
Congratulations to all your children on their accomplishments! So much to be proud of as a mother. Best wishes for a beautiful wedding on June 4! I vote for the Blueberry Homecoming. I have a MLI story for you. I had a stitching friend many years ago who stitched a couple of the MLI angels. Because they were such time-consuming pieces, she then taught her husband how to stitch and got him hooked on stitching the angels. No kidding! Got the angel stitching done twice as fast with two of them stitching!! BTW, great angel story. Of course, he was really an angel. Enjoy the wedding!
Of course.....he was an angel....angels come in all forms! Beautiful story...thank you for sharing. 💜
I'm going to hobby lobby! Love the Jesus. Your daughters art is magnificent. The eyes are special in each piece. Some of the almost made me cry. Your drums are beautiful. Thanks so much for your time and sharing
Can’t believe you put out a nice long flosstube post, just before the wedding. Wish I had half your energy. Enjoy the wedding.
Hi Vonna! Loved your angel story… you definitely had a angel watching over you that evening! You have enabled me once again! Enjoy your summer! See you next time!
Loved your angel encounter Vonna. Blessings to you all on the upcoming wedding day. Thanks for the shout outs on the other flosstubers.
Oh, I forgot to add. The main reason I purchase the primitive magazine is because of your finishing articles. They are always very informative with wonderful ideas.
Forgot to congratulate your daughter and her absolutely beautiful talented art !
The eye makeup is perfect! You are going to be a beautiful Mother of the Bride! I think you are beautiful on the inside, too. Yo have done such a good job raising your children, They are so talented and confident. Love all your projects.
What a talented young woman your daughter is. Prayers for your son. I also believe in angels, I have my own experence with an angel. Blueberry Homecoming.
Another stitcher who says aida like I do! A-ee-da! Yes, I’m always corrected but I’ve been stitching for 40 years and that’s how I was taught! I loved that the great Pat Carson also said it the way I was taught! Beautiful family and of course beautiful stitching and finishes! I enjoy you and I have a hard time with the cranky people criticizing you and being ugly! But you just be you because you are beautiful!
Crankies are jealous because I try to shine and they want to blow me out....too bad for them, I have a long wick :) Thanks so much for your sweet words and always loyal visits!
You are so joyful - it’s such a pleasure to spend time with you.
Vonna...such delightful drawings from your daughter...beautiful whips and lovely finishes...looking forward to your plans...best wishes❤❤
I have an angel story! Well angels. So my youth group was going on a mission trip to South America and my pastor wanted us all to come up to pray for us. We came up probably 40 of us adults and teens. I had my eyea closed and everyone started praying. I thought wow the whole church must have come up to pray for us because I heard a lot of voices praying. This went on for about 10 minutes. After everyone said amen I opened my eyes and looked around and it was just the original people standing there in a circle. I literally heard at least 200 people praying for us right around us. It was amazing. I asked some of them if they had heard the angels praying and they said no. No one else had heard but me.
Hi Vonna, my first visit with you. Thank you for making my day brighter!🧚🏻
Oh Vonna, went on your Blog and watched this video. Took me forever since you're so kind to mention other Floss Tubers (which I just had to visit). You have such a beautiful family.
Congratulations on your continued success. You are much loved in the Cross Stitch World and many have begun to regularly mention you as their inspiration.
I love your videos. You not only show us what you have done, but you inspire us to try new and different things on our own. I learn from your techniques and change and expand to make unique treasures of my own.
Angels are real and I collect angels of all mediums to remind me that we never walk alone.
Your angel story was beautiful. I too believe in angels and how wonderful that God sent one to you that night 💕
I wish you nothing but success and happy memories with the wedding! I will be thinking of you. Loved being the mother of the bride. Pam
Hello this is Marianne from South Jersey I knew it cross stitch your family is awesome your daughter's art is beautiful your makeup is beautiful so nice to see the art the eyes look so real I'm enjoying this thank you for sharing have a good day I've been to shipwana Indiana for a quilt show I think you're Amish cross stitch is so nice
Thank you 😊
Loved seeing your smiling happy face my friend!! Thanks for making me smile this Monday morning! Enjoy the wedding. I LOVED the hula hoop chandelier!!
You look absolutely beautiful in pink. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary. Rose berry is beautiful.
Well sweet lady you got me choked up again! When you started sharing your road story I got goose bumps and by the end my eyes were leaking. I too believe in angels-if you believe in God how can you not!?!
I know my husband and myself was saved by an angel from being run over once. We were staying up in Big Bear, California in wintertime. We were walking on the side of the road to a restaurant for dinner, it was snowy and dark. I'm clumsy so I was walking very carefully and watching every step. Rob, my husband, was walking behind me as we were close to the road. All of a sudden it felt like I was pushed from behind and fell hard. Rob bent down and said what happened and are you okay!?! Just then a car pulled out of a gas station across from us too quicky and couldn't turn left fast enough. He slammed on his brakes and stopped right past where we would have been. If I had not fallen we both would have been run over. We both realized we had been saved and we're shaken up and thankful.
Sorry for the long story. Thank you for all you share and for being you. Love you a bushel and a peck!
Oh! And I love how you did your eyes.... beautiful!!
I vote for Blueberry! Oh Holly Hobby made me cry. I think my mom and I loved as much as my daughter!
That Mira conversion is gorgeous!! My Miras are all mermaids except for the mother/daughter one!
That blowing your socks off image made me bust out laughing. I just love you💕
Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful summer between your daughters wedding, a wonderful vacation and some beautiful cross stitching! Enjoy!
Hi Vonna! Love seeing your stitching and watching your videos! I can't wait to watch more of your progress on Lady of the Flag. I vote for Raspberry Homecoming. In His Hands is beautiful! Best wishes for Katie's wedding! Ellie is a beautiful artist! Have a great day! Until next time.....
Wow! What an intelligent, talented family you have! Love your videos! I believe in angels also. ❤ Blessings to you and your family!
You are such a joy Vonna. I could sit and listen to you all day. Blessings on Katie's upcoming wedding....Renee
I'd get boring after a full day :) ha ha ha! Thank you sweet friend for your visit!
So many lovely things. My Angel story. I was a new driver and tried to do a right hand turn without enough time on a wet road. The oncoming cars should have hit me but angels lifted my car and put it safely in a drive way. My goodness you really have gone down a Nora - Mirabilia -told in my garden rabbit hole. Can’t wait to see all your progress. Best wishes for the weddings.
You always bring a ray of sunshine to my day. Thank you! You are how I discovered Flosstube after watching a finishing tutorial of yours and what a world it has opened for me. I now have my own Flosstube and have made so many new stitching friends because of it and your beautiful finishing and stitching. Best wishes for a beautiful wedding and a lifetime of happiness for your daughter.
Oops, I vote Raspberry!
Hey how are you doing dear
My goodness. Catherine met your angel. while she was telling the story I was trying to remember where I'd heard a similar story and she said she'd heard you! There are angels who help us.
I have the best time watching your videos!! I am all about Nora, Miras and L&L. Have a great time at the wedding!
Thank you for sharing your angel story. It made me realized I believe in angels too :-)
Love your videos! Angels are real!! Empty nesting is awesome 😊 Love your sweet spirit and sense of humor! You’re so right about this community ❤️ I love that snowman 😊 Have a blast at the wedding! ~ Liz
Hi Vonna... you have kept me company and entertained as I fixed Pizza for dinner. Beautiful stitching and Love your idea with your drums for partially finished pieces.
So wonderful to visit with Vonna today! You are such an inspiration to so many of us. I had no idea I would be thinking of stitching a Told in the Garden... but I struck it lucky at the thrift store yesterday finding 5 of them that I think the universe is saying something. I have no business starting anything but may be joining in your start-a-long! Wishing you and your family all the wonderful blessings for Katie's wedding!
Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us, you have a kind heart and so generous!
Ellie's art is just amazing. I believe I could see Sophie's approval of "mom's" art as well. I just started my first Dimensions called "Call of the Wilderness". After watching Needleberry Stitcher talk about how she does Dimension kits gave me courage to start this one which I have had for ages. I am really enjoying my stitch. Your fabric matches the Raspberry House so I believe it should be next. Will be thinking of you in the next 3 weeks as you prepare for the wedding. May the Lord shine down on you and give you strength for the day and please enjoy the day as much as Katie and her husband. Take care girl.😀
So great to visit with you Vonna!!! I love your Holly Hobby sewing machine! What a sweet gift! I still have my Holly Hobbie girls that I embroidered in grade nine home ec class and I just love them. What a precious gift for your aunt. Marilyn and Nora were and are so incredibly talented. It was fun seeing your WIPs and your planned projects. I am currently working on Catch the Wind. I believe in angels and you definitely had one watching over you on that stormy night. I am sure Katie's wedding will be beautiful. Thanks so much Vonna!
My vote for your stitch in the green fabric: Blueberry Homecoming. Your videos always make me so happy - you are so genuine! Such a joy to watch and to learn from. Your angel story gave me chills. I, too, have angel stories. I believe the angel overseeing me is my first husband who passed away 19 years ago at the age of 47. You were so blessed to have that “protector” in that very scary situation - and the fact you appreciated it and to this recognize it for the miracle it was. You are a great joy to many!
Golly what sweet words that are so soothing to my heart! THANK YOU! Would absolutely love to hear your story of your angel - thetwistedstitcher@gmail.com HUGS to you and thanks for visiting with me today!
Your Children are doing so well. Ellie is such a talented artist, I enjoyed your floss Tube would love to see more from you. Best Wishes from Canada.
I haven’t been watching you tube videos for long but found yours and thoroughly enjoy it. It’s like talking with a friend. I love your finishes, your ideas etc….. happy wedding day to your daughter!!!
Hi Vonna,
So happy you are back. I have learned so much from your tutorials. Such a talent which seems to have rubbed off on your children. My, you must be so proud! I did stitch the Amish pieces many years ago for my sister. A whole wall full. They were so much fun. Great to see them again. I also did a few angels and such…..once five in a year. I was a teacher so the summer was strictly stitching. Now I am into samplers and Brenda Gervais, Stacey Nash, scarlet House, scattered Seed and really so many more. I cannot help myself. I have big dreams but must live to 300 to complete! It really is my happy place and I thank God everyday for this opportunity. God bless you and enjoy the wedding. I imagine it will be perfect. I will be waiting for your next video.
Bonnie
Hi Vonna, i know you from story's from other flosstubers and your finishes. But i like this flosstube. It's so nice to watch you when i am stitching. Have a good time.
VONNA!!! I got chills when you told your story of going in the ditch! I think that was your Guardian Angel who came to take care of you. That was so amazing! 😇 Thank you so much for sharing that with us 🥰. I also thought every one of the projects you shared with us was so beautiful. You are such a talented lady, with such a big heart ♥️! You’re truly an inspiration to me. Thank you so much for sharing your bright spirit with us. God bless you, my friend!
Meline
Thank you so much Meline :) have a great weekend and I'll see you next month!
Vonna I have been looking for the pattern of in his hands for years, it is a beautiful pattern
Wow!! Amazing video! First of all, you be you, which is wonderful ! You hold everything wonderfully! Your first childhood finishes were so sweet & beautiful, love!🥰 All your drum finishes are fabulous, what a fantastic idea!!🎉 I can’t wait to see your finish of The Lady of the Flag, perfect fabric!!❤️ Finally loved hearing about your sweet family & the angel story!! I enjoyed your video so much! I am praying for Jacob , you, your daughter & wedding! May God bless your family with the desires of your heart!❤️ Enjoy the Wedding & your daughter that day!!💖💝🌺💐🥰Oh yes, I pick Raspberry Homecoming!!😊😘
Vonna, I so enjoy your videos, your stories about life and your family. Best wishes on Katie’s wedding. I hope you can enjoy the day and not be stressed by the events and all your preparations. Thank you for sharing your life and stitching with us!
My boss is from Indiana and I feel like you gals would be best of friends. I love your story about an angel! My mom often sees miracles in her life and her bf doesn’t see them as miracles. I think she would be encouraged by your story because that’s how believers are. Miracles are not just coincidences and angels are real! When you have faith God is real. It’s just unbelievable majesty :) I’m glad an angel came to be with you in a difficult moment. I believe you even if the cop didn’t get it.
Oh your double dyed blue is BEAUTIFUL!!!
I have everything to stitch Princess Eliana…. Except time. To many things in front of her. I always love seeing your finishes.
You have such a wonderful spirit and special gifts from God. Your family is so special and blessed in many ways. So glad to see you again so soon. I like blueberries the best, so that one gets my vote. Hope you have a wonderful stitching week.
Watching your channel just makes me happy. Thank you for your positive disposition. You're a gem.
You are going to do great at the wedding if your finishes are any indication. I so enjoyed your flosstube. I'll be back. I always love to find another Catholic stitcher. I love the face of Jesus you got. I'm going to look for it. Thank you. You have a lovely family.
Girl, my Angel was like Nicolas Cage in City of Angels!! I was stuck on an icy hill in my little Colt, and I was looking about ‘what should I do’ mode - no phone - and I look in the rear view to see this beautiful guy in a long black coat and leather cowboy type hat. He pushed me up over the hill, so I turn to wave and thank him … gone! Just gone! 😇
I vote for the Raspberry piece. So glad you’re back! All the wedding prep looks great - you’ve got this with happy thoughts and best wishes for the lovely couple! 💗🕊💙
I just wanted to tell you thank you for sharing the borders for early American and Fall on the Farm. It was very generous.
Vonna, your stitching and finishing work is stunning. I love stitching samplers, but have a soft spot for angels. I love the Lavender and Lace angels and have stitched most of the Marbek angels. Enjoy the wedding!
Congrats to your graduates and many felicitations to the bride to be!!!🥰😘❤️
I vote Raspberry Homecoming. Your daughter is such an artist-- wow! Best wishes for a wonderful wedding. When my mom passed away, I told our three-year-old son that we were going to the farm, but grandma wouldn't be there. He said, "I know, mommy. She's the dark-haired angel (my mom had dark hair)." Whoa!
OH MY! Chills :) Raspberry is winning by a mile! See you next month!
My vote is blueberry homecoming. The Mira conversion was terrific. I’m not much of a purple gal but that was stunning. You could almost pick those flowers. 💐 Blessings for the upcoming wedding and prayers for the job search.
Wonderful flosstube!!!!! So lovely to hear of your family, and all updates. The wedding will be gorgeous and all will be well. Happy stitching. 🥰🥰
Your angel story gave me goosebumps. I believe in angels too because there are too many of those stories not to. Thanks for all you do. I hope you take time to enjoy the wedding. Hugs.
Wow…the first thing I thought when I saw you was that pink is your color! Also, that you are so beautiful Vonna. When you described Becca…It was how I would describe you ❤️
Love your description of your new look….
Thanks for sharing how you start and then lose momentum and then turn those projects into something else! Love the drums and I'll be watching for your next PNPS excerpt article. Also thanks for making needle supply purchases like dimensions kits, hobby lobby fabric, etc. perfectly acceptable choices. I feel intimated by some toff stitchers as they seem to only use expensive supplies. You are a lovely person. And yes, there is a heavenly world that is very present. 👼
You are so sweet, repeat, repeat anything you want to! Have a great trip. Happy stitching! 😊
Love seeing you stitch Told in the Garden. I think those and Prairie School Santa were what pulled me into stitching 30 years ago. I now have 9 of them hanging in my home and love them. Grandpa’s barn and Grandma’s house are among my favorites. I’ve stitched Raspberries- love it and Blueberry is on my list to do. Thanks for the flosstube recommendations
Thank you! I love your stitching! I am just starting to stitch again and have fallen in love with 10 count! I am trying 14 count again soon. I am stitching a Nora fairy for my daughter in law. It will be interesting to see how long it takes me to stitch! A wedding! What a joyous occasion! Don’t get so crazy you can’t enjoy it too!
Thank you Vonna I really enjoy your flosstube and so pleased you came back. I love your drums such a wonderful way to finish your stitches you have retired. I vote for the blueberry one. Enjoy your daughters wedding
Thank you so much for watching :)
The angel story gave me chills. Loved seeing pics of your family.
What lovely finishes you shared! I liked how you saved the partially stitched designs to create a finishing that was special! Wow, that colorful portrait of you is beautiful - fabulous job Ellie!
Your daughter is truly talented. Pictures are beautify. I love your finished projects. I guess I just admire your stitching. The Nora Corbett is lovely on the white. Stitch the Raspberry Homecoming first. I enjoyed your story about ending up in a ditch and the angle. I believe in angles too. I felt the presents of an angle or Jesus himself when my husband died almost 25 years ago. I love your finishes and yes, they do inspire me to think outside the box in crating my own finishes. Thank you for your inspiration. It is so funny that you mentioned your birthday on July 5th, I have two grandchildren born on July 5rh, to the same mother 16 years apart. I know the wedding will be beautiful....enjoy every minute of it and know that it will all work out. "Man plans and God laughs."
I recommend that you watch the Curious Crafters. I think you will appreciate their approach to their projects and bonus, they’re fun. Thank you for your video. I along with the whole cross stitch world LOVE your tutorials. Hope the wedding is fabulous.
I’ve recently started watching your cross stitch videos and love them. Can’t wait to see your finished Fall on the Farm with your border. 😊 THANK YOU so much for creating it.
many Congratulations to your grown children. They sound like great people.You have done a Great job raising a beautiful family. Bless you
