I just looked you up because Saltbox Stitcher recommended your channel. I have just started stitching again. I put my stitching away for about 15 years but I first started stitching in 1984. I’m retired now and am a widow so I started again to be productive and because I enjoy it. I like your style and I like to see the patterns people pick. I live on the east side of Nashville TN and it’s nice to watch others in different areas. I’m sure you’ll be picking up lots of subscribers. I will subscribe today. I don’t watch much tv and I like UA-cam. I hit my recliner at the end of my day and I usually pull up a flosstube. I have 8 grandchildren so I stay quite busy. Keep up the videos. I enjoyed this one. May the Lord Bless you! Tammie
Your relaxed style and can do attitude make for enjoyable watching. Nice mix of designs. Looking forward to binge watching all of your episodes. Welcome to flosstube.
Thank you very much! Hope you enjoy the other videos :)
Oh My Gosh! Thank you so much for sharing! You have amazing taste! I love all your wips! -and wow- on 40ct! I just started rejoice evermore on 40 ct and it’s slow going- 36 ct is my favorite. I did a few cross stitch projects on aida when I was in my 20’s- started quilting and embroidery, then in my 40’s started needlepoint- then in 2021 found an old box with cross stitching kit of shepherds bush and now I’m a born again cross stitcher😜 I’m in my 60,s so eyesight isn’t as good as it use to be but I’m determined to finish the rejoice evermore on 40 ct. your flosstube is so refreshing! I loved it!❤ can’t wait to see your next one! Oh and get your finished pieces fully finished and hang more of your beautiful pieces on your walls! Happy Stitching!
I loved your first Flosstube ❤️.
I've been only stitching for about 6 or 7 months now and I'm super addicted. I'm also a "Pattern Collector "
I was also a monogamous stitcher, until I started watching Flosstube. It made me feel okay about rotating things in and out as my moods and attraction changed. No rules is the mantra which I love.
Thank you for sharing, you did great. And look forward to your next video!!!!
Your stitching is beautiful. You shouldn’t criticize yourself, your work
Is pretty.
You get lots done. Wow.
You are very pleasant to listen too! I’ll be watching more of your flosstubes you did a great job!
Your stitching is beautiful. I was wowed by My Home in the Garden.
What an informative video! I love how you move things along and keep it real! Love seeing your project bags, charts, linen, threads…..perfect!
Yes please I would love to see your finishs
Love your first flosstube...you're a natural! Also looking forward to many more videos and stitchy updates.
Hello! So glad two needles pulling thread gave you a shout out. I very much like your channel and look forward to watching more 👍👍
Thanks for sharing!
Sarah's Stitchy Spot sent us over❣ Seasons of the Heart is darling! I adore your little windowed room and the lovely view! We always love seeing pets and I sm a dog lover and pet sitter! So nice to meet you!
Don't underestimate your skills! I've been sewing since I was 5 and I'm 67. I have yet to make a project bag but I've bought a half dozen and gotten flosstubes on how to make. I like Vonna Pfieffer and her bag doesn't have the vinyl. The foot for my sewing machine was expensive so I haven't purchased yet to do the vinyl...
When you have a chance, look at your favorite colors. If there's one color in a design that doesn't work or you just don't like, try picking just one. There are wonderful color spectrums online you can look at for reference! If you're uncomfortable still, then do try a conversion. I think with time you will find it's easy to do. I always change at least one thing in a chart to make uniquely my own💕
YES ON THE FINISH PARADE PLEASE!?!
Hi 🌸 I’m Danish and I live on Bornholm, an island in the Baltic Sea 🌷 Looking forward to your flosstubes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sarah
Hi Lauren I loved your video , I heard a shout out from In hand stitcher , she said she loved to watch you because you sewed the same type of patterns that she enjoys And so do I. I also love long dogs that’s all I stitched on for quite some time I have finished pandemic and also New World in the past year or so. I have huckleberry farm in the work I’m excited to work on it, I’m currently working on two of the year in the woods patterns for my great grand children and they are fun to do.I’m really glad that I found you and I will continue to watch you good job stitching! 😊
Hi! Just found your channel and love all your wips and finishes! I am getting ready to start Early Days and am very excited to see your progress! Your stitching is so beautiful! I have been stitching for 50 plus years and am no where near having as many finishes as you have! Thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to watching all your podcasts! Happy Stitching!
Enjoyed your flosstube. Great job. Consider the lilies is beautiful.
Great video! Welcome to the flosstube community!
Hi Lauren, I just discovered you and have subscribed. You have done a fantastic job and I love how you present your projects and your smooth voice. While I love other flosstubers who are super energetic and tell funny stories (Tiger Lily Designs is one of my favorites) and make me laugh, I appreciate that you speak smoothly and don't say a lot of ummms and fiddle with your hair or clothes (it's a pet peeve of mine). Keep up the good work and I will click the notification bell so I know when you post. So happy to have you in this community!
Great first Flosstube. You’re a natural. Beautiful projects you are working on and I would love to see your FO’s as I’m sure others would as well.
I really enjoyed your video! I love how mellow you are; no yelling, screaming, gimmicks, or obnoxious laughing! I was able to stitch, relax, and enjoy your stitching! Keep it up! I look forward to your next video.!
Thank you so much Lisa! I'm having such a fun time with Flosstube.
I agree. I can’t watch a flosstube channel any longer because it’s so chaotic. Too much going on
You certainly jumped in with both feet! I didn't see anything small... kuddos to you!
I have a bad habit of starting big projects!
Great job! Keep up the good work. Happy stitching til next time! 🪡🧵🪡✂️✂️✂️🎈🎈🎈
Hello this is Mary Ann from South Jersey I'm new at cross stitching I enjoyed your video I like all your project bags thank you for sharing have a great day
Thank you for jumping in and making a video. I loved it! We have many of the same projects. I just bought those Birds of a Feather charts today! The Seasons of the Heart and the Garden Sampler are on my list to do. Looking forward to your next video.
Love all your projects. Now off to watch your finish parade! I have so many that I need to start FFO’ing so it can be displayed. Oh well... one day!
You did great girl 😊
Enjoyed watching 👀
Your stitching is awesome.
I really enjoyed your video. Very impressed that this was your first! Love your taste in designers. Look forward to hearing from you soon!
Loved your video! You did a great job and I'm glad you decided to do it and share your beautiful projects. Looking forward to many more episodes. Take care.
Great job, Lauren. I am new to your channel and thoroughly enjoyed your WIPs. Your stitching is beautiful!!
Welcome! You’re a Pro…. Lots a beautiful projects and looking forward to your next videos. Take care
Hi, Lauren! You actually have a ton done on Thirza! I stitched her in 16 days 😂 but I was OBSESSED and spent every waking free moment stitching on her
Ah thanks for watching Julie! I still can’t believe you did that - but then again my dream is to do nothing but stitch, eat and sleep so I bet it was a good 16 days 😂
Enjoyed your video and seeing all your progress. Loved the patterns.
What a fabulous first flosstube! I do hope you decide to continue. You are so pleasant to listen to and your stitching is gorgeous! A finish parade would be great! Well done Lauren!!🤩🤩🙌
What a wonderful first floss tube. You were meant to do this and wonderful to listen to. Your project bags and your WIPs are gorgeous! You have great taste and I like that most of your projects are colorful.
Amy, Gables Stitcher, is sending the entire New England flosstube gang over to watch! Do you know about the Stitch New England retreat in October?????
Thank you for joining me! Amy just told me about it and I’m going to sign up!! Also going to try to hit some of the stitchy meetups at the MA needlework shops this winter 😊
I'v been to Stitch New England...cute little shop. I only live 30 mins from there. Good to know about the retreat. Thanks
You did a great job. Very experienced I think by the projects you are stitching! More than I. I am 71 and afraid to start linen.
Love "my home in the garden" the best of colors.
Does your dog ever steal out of your stitching basket? Lol
The light was perfect!
Wow. Good for you!! Great first Flosstube!!
Impressive. I worked for years as a child on different Aida fabrics and stitching wasn’t what it is today. Have done some projects in more recent years. Getting back into it. Have bought some linens, but seem to be nervous and haven’t taken the plunge to actually stitch on them.
So kudos to you for being a fairly newbie and taking that plunge!!!
Love your video! I am a new COVID stitcher too and my rabbit hole looks as big as yours 😃
ive never tried 40’count so you’ve inspired me to give it a try.
I haven’t ordered the book of days knowing that I would not track anything. I’m watching some other videos though I would like to know what I finish in a year. Definitely interested in your new project book. Or maybe I need to start dating/initialing my work? Do you do that?
Fabulous job! My daughter is having trouble finding young “in person” friends that like to xstitch, so I am going to recommend your channel to her!
Loved the video. Can't wait to see more. Great job.
I enjoyed watching this vide.. thanks so much for sharing
You did great! I'm overwhelmed by all your WIP's! But I'm old, so there's that😂 Following you to follow your progress, as I plod along on one project at a time.
So glad you got the shout outs so I could find you ☺️ You did a wonderful job on your first video. Started at the beginning, going to check out anything else you have put out this far and definitely subscribed. Happy Stitching -Kimberly
Thank you Lauren. You've inspired me!
I really enjoyed watching your video! I'm going to watch the next two :) greating from Poland😍
Great first video. You are a natural .
I watched your first video today after hearing Jessica from Sweetwater Stitcher mention you. The Plum Street Saltbox houses are something I want to stitch also and plan to join your SAL. Your video was excellent. I will definitely be binge watching the remaining videos in the next few days.
Please do a finished but not framed! Really enjoyed your video and hope to see many more. Your work is gorgeous and really great projects!
Wow you are a natural doing a video! Kudos to you!
Great video. Thank you for doing this.
Great job on your first flosstube, enjoy the journey
I always make a working copy of charts so I can enlarge and mark off! Having a working thread is a good thing! Just don't leave your needles in long term...
Try wetting your fabric to decrease the stiffness.
Such a great first video!! I love your WIPs and I can’t wait to watch your other video and more to come!! Sending love from a Maine stitcher!!
Your stitching is beautiful. I love your samplers! Welcome to the community.
Awesome flosstube. Yes please do a finish parade. I have several finishes with little framed pieces too.
I have one posted now ☺️
Great video. You are a natural. I’m so glad you know how to pronounce Button and don’t say buttin. I’m old school and grammar is important. You have a lot of beautiful stitching. I have Blackberry House in my some days. I’m 77 and have been stitching more than 40 years. I love seeing young people stitching. Thank you for taking the time to make videos. I’m homebound so y’all are my company
Thank you for watching Betty! Blackberry House was such a joy to stitch - I highly recommend it if you decide to start something new. I feel so lucky to have found a hobby I enjoy so much, I wish I had found it sooner but I know this will be a lifelong pastime for me ❤
Congratulations on your first video.
Excellent job! Enjoyed very much. See you soon.
Amazing flosstube #1. Your voice is very calming. Great content and presentation. Nailed it🌻🌻
Welcome to flosstube, you did a great job! I live in CT but grew up in VT. I think it is amazing that you went from 28 ct to 40 ct!
Thank you so much!
Welcome! Love that you are from N.H.! I grew up in Hampstead. Lucky you that you have a LNS. I live in Southern CA and there us nothing here. I have to order everything on line. Sure do miss seeing everything in person!
Great job on your youtube!
I just found your channel, so I chose to start at the beginning with video 1! I started stitching during COVID as well and went down the same rabbit hole of buying all of the things! I really enjoyed seeing your wips and you’ve inspired me to try to stitch on 40 count and to go ahead and buy the pattern and floss for considering the lilies. I’ve admired the chart since the first time I saw it, but never committed to buying it because I was intimidated by the size. I can’t wait to binge watch the rest of your videos, although I’m sure my to buy list will only get longer! 😂
Great job! I really enjoyed your video
Thank you Michelle!
Love your video Have a great weekend 🥰
I love your video. Your wips are great!!
After FLOSSTUBE #1, and you already have over 15,000 viewers! I know you’re proud of yourself!
Bravo…your stitching is beautiful and I want to see more…a finish parade? ❤
It’s posted! ❤
Great job!! You have a new subscriber!
We have a similar window situation 😄 That blue roof building screams New Hampshire for me. I’m on Cape Cod but NH is a favorite respite.
I just love the buildings in NH! I was a city girl (Boston) until 2021 so loving all the space!
Great video….I’m subscribed!!
Lauren! You did an AWESOME job with your video, I'm so glad you decided to film! I love all of your projects. I just received my Pink Sparrow Sampler chart in the mail yesterday after seeing your insta post last week, so you're already an enabler, haha. I think it's safe to say that we have very similar stitchy tastes! I cannot wait for your next video - and yes, please film a finish parade! I would love to see all of your beautiful past finishes! Take care, xx Caitlin :)
Yay I love enabling!! And being enabled, which is why I’m eagerly awaiting my Brightneedle alert on eBay to alert me of a Dollhouse chart 😂 I’m thinking of filming a finish parade over the holiday weekend, just need to hunt down all my finished (but not FFOed) pieces!
I really enjoyed your video!!!!
Hi, Lauren. You did a great job on your first video. I was interested to hear you say you were struggling with your piece of Picture This Plus fabric. I too, have had to give up on two projects on PTP and have not been able to decide why it gives me a problem. I live in Ontario, Canada and thank you for patronizing two Ontario businesses - Shiba Designs on Etsy and Roxy Floss Co.
I think for me the issue with PTP is the holes are just too small and it makes my thread tangle more often, which then makes me frustrated and not want to work on a piece! And I love love both Shiba & Roxy, Canada has some wonderful makers ❤
Hello there and thank you for sharing your needlework. I do enjoy your choice of patterns & fabrics. What caught my attention is the Evermore pattern by With Thy Needle. I’ve had this pattern myself for about 1 year now. I’m planning on starting it with SewMeSarah (on floss tube) on Feb 14th as she is hosting a stitch a long. It would be a good chance to get some progress going on yours. Hope to see you involved. I’m looking forward to your next floss tube.
I would love to join! I will have to check out the SAL!
Great first flosstube!
Thank you Debora!
Congrats on your first flosstube! And on your quick subscriber growth! I am a pretty new stitcher, and I only work on one project at a time. You've got some great WIPS there!
Outstanding first FlossTube Please keep them coming!!
So many terrific projects
I agree with others who have asked for a finish parade. ❤
Great job. I subscribed. My in laws are in New Hampshire too!
Excellent first Floss Tube. You did a great job and are a delight to listen to. I loved seeing all that you are working on. I am with you on Sally Spenser. I also paid too much for a chart ( that I have not started). I need to kit that up and start it. I took note of your fabric that you are thinking about. I may have to look into purchasing that if I can find it. See you soon.
Great first floss tube!
Thank you Tara!
Great job!!
I loved your video!
Congratulations!! You did good!!! I have Sally Spencer ready to stitch!! Don't you Love it!!! Not an easy pattern to find!! I was able to borrow one!!! I won't ask how much you paid for yours but I have seen it on ebay!!! I can only imagine!! Ohh but it's one of my favorites!! Love several of Birds of a Feather!! I have another pattern of theirs that I need to finish!! Anyway ,I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your first flosstube!! Keep up the good work!!! Happy stitching!!! Bye for now. Barbara S. ❤
I do love Sally, I really need to get back to her!
Watching out of order but had to go back and catch your first Flosstube. Loved your project choices and picked up a project bag from Painted Leaf Co. after seeing yours.
I am so excited to see a nh stitcher on here. I’m in Manchester and have never met anyone from here haha
Hi Beth! I am amazed at how many folks in the comments are from NH or New England in general. It's wonderful!
Great first video Lauren!
Thank you so much! 😊
Look for number 10 tapestry needle. They have blunt ends and are great for 45 or 46. If you need a picture of them let me know
Hi Lauren! I think you are a natural on Flosstube, lol! Loved seeing what you are stitching and have planned to stitch. Always fun to see a new floss-tuber, so welcome and looking forward to seeing more from you! 😊
Throughly enjoyed your Flosstube. I know for a fact those WIPS add up fast. Will be looking for your next video. Happy stitching 🧵 🪡
Thank you Lorrie!
This was a terrific first floss tube episode! Love your project choices. I’m excited to watch your progress as you work on them.
Lauren, you did a great 1st flosstube! 👏. I believe I have gotten to know your style and can relate to your many starts w/o many finishes. However, you have a plan & if you can stick with it (some what) we will all be able to celebrate your finishes in short time. Your project selections are terrific as is your stitching. Can’t wait for your next video. BTW, a “finish” parade would be wonderful! ❤
If starting this channel has done anything it has certainly motivated me to finish some of these WIPs!!
Great first video! I love all of your projects, and I'm stitching some of them myself. I'm also a NH stitcher, perhaps we'll run into each other at Celebration of Needlework or World in Stitches.
congratulations on your first video. You have beautiful wips
Oh my goodness! You did that like a pro! Fabulous content!
Great first floss tube. Love, love all your WIPS. Happy stitching!
Thank you!
Congratulations on your podcast! Technically, I think everything you set up, lighting, foamcore, up-close photo and project progress, etc., the whole thing--just right. I love your esthetic and the designs that you chose. And, I liked your explaining why your sweet spot is 40 count fabric. I have a few kits that I have bought over the years but haven't started and you reminded me that I had a problem with the fabrics they came with. Being a sewist, the fact that the fabrics were either too flimsy or with an ugly weave stopped me at the start. I couldn't wrap my head around how it could produce something beautiful in the end and, did I want to put all that time in and end up with a yuck? So, I'll revisit them again when I have time. I'm going to check out a few of the designers you mentioned--I love their esthetic, too. Thank you. I'm excited to see your next tube and wish you all the best! 💖
I have noticed so much that the wrong fabric will completely stop me in my tracks with a project! Can’t even count how many things I’ve restarted.
Great first video….where is your snow🤣. From Wisconsin so sort of surprised to see green out your window. Love what you are stitching.
We keep getting snow and then the rain melts it all! And repeat! But we do have snow again now 😊
Hi. Great job. Your first flosstube, but you seem a very experienced stitcher. Congratulations. I wonder how often you will be unloading your videos.
Thank you for watching! I plan to upload monthly!
Great Flosstube. You selected some nice projects with really nice fabrics. I also live in New Hampshire, specifically Londonderry. Do you know about the retreat at Stitch-Inn at the Farm? There is a Facebook group by that name. They have group stitching at different locations in NH and southern Maine. The retreat is at East Hill Farm. Check it out! I look forward to watching more of your Flosstubes. 😊
I have heard of it but have never been to a retreat myself! Lots of folks are encouraging me to attend Stitch New England so I do plan to do that this year ☺
Great first video. I’m from southeast Massachusetts
So many stitchers from New England, I love it!!
Loved your WIPS…wow! You do 40 count already..I just started 26 count..love that..more relaxing for me.and yes to seeing anything you have ..finishes,tour of rooms or haul,etc..thanks !
I started doing 40 ct. only because I wanted to use less thread and it just stuck 😂
@@newhampshirestitcher wow! I never thought of it that way
@@kathiep.7734 my thinking is - the less fabric and thread I need the more projects I can do!
Hi! Two Needles Pulling Thread said to watch, and I'm glad I did. You're an amazing stitcher, and your voice is so soothing too. I love how you present things. Great video. Congratulations.
Really enjoyed your first video (am a sucker for a stitcher with a sense of humour). Your projects are beautiful, look forward to seeing more.
