    FLOSSTUBEVERSITY - How to Stitch Mirabilia Cross Stitches
    Recently I have been building a playlist for those wanting to experience stitching a Mirabilia pattern but may have been intimidated by the process or perhaps an experienced stitcher who wants to learn some new tips and tricks. There are 2 main videos releasing May 01 and May 15 (in celebration of Miramay) which introduce the designer Nora Corbett and cover everything from how to choose your first pattern, considerations, floss organization and tips and tricks we have come across over the last 25 years. Additionally, there are a couple more video tutorials releasing this month which will teach you 1) how to bead and 2) how to convert skin to 1 over 1.
    COMMUNITY CORNER
    Let's talk retreats! Im looking for your advice and opinion as to what are your favourite retreats and why, what are your favourite ideas for table gifts and what things you absolutely cannot live without while you are at a retreat.

    Scissor fobs and ort collectors are fantastic table gifts at retreats!!! My mom usually brings scissor fobs in a variety of colors and lets each table guest pick their favorite, and then she also makes a special one for the retreat host.
    Lighting. Is. Everything. Always bring extra lighting, bc you have never know what the lighting will be like in the stitching space, or how it may change during the day. My last retreat had amazing lighting during the day, but in the evening, the sun didn't shine in our room and made things harder. I usually pack a big project, and one or two smaller projects, so that I have choices, but not an overwhelming amount.
    I have three small children at home, so I go to retreats to get dedicated, uninterrupted stitchy time. I also love meeting adults, lol! My favorite retreats are ones that also include classes or a field trip to a LNS. The last retreat I did was at a beach house, and they brought a vendor to us, who set up in the dining room!

    • @FibersandFlossCanada
      @FibersandFlossCanada  4 місяці тому

    Games. You are a very busy lady! I hope you enjoy your visit with your parents. I have never been to a stitching retreat, only a knitting retreat. The big thing for me was a) learning from an instructor and b) talking to other knitters, getting ideas and learning from them. I never brought stranded knitting or complicated cables because I didn’t want to have to concentrate that much. I brought simple projects so I could knit and talk. I would think that is the same at stitching retreats. Sorry I can’t help with table gifts. 💜
