My son and I had been walking through the garden and decided we need to harvest the parsnip blooms that were left over from fall. The weather was turning colder as Christmas time grew near. After harvestingwe started into the house for his bath and dinner. He stopped suddenly and picked up a penny he found.on the porch. He clutched it in his little.hand.so tight and looked up toward heaven and said Thank You. I asked him.who he had said the little prayer for and he said "for you Mama. Christmas is close and I know you are doing all you can". And he handed me the penny and said " I hope this helps". After I tucked him.into bed I hung the keepsake stocking on the mantle and of course you know...I had my self a real good cry. What had I done.to deserve such a generous and genuine child.
Thanks Shellie for another great video!
My husband had a sweet habit while he was still with me and hadn’t gone to heaven yet. His habit was that he would say a prayer for someone every time he found a penny. He would stop wherever he was, pick up the penny and pray for someone. It’s a very fond memory that I have of him that makes me smile when I think of it.
I am breathless! So much and sick too, you are amazing. So love your stories and appreciation of quilts. My grandmother hand pieced and quilted a quilt every year of her adult life. Fondest memory of her frame all winter under dining room table beside her treadle machine. Harvest and Keepsake certainly belong together.
Oh Shellie your sewing is amazing!!! Having the bags are truly a keepsake I will treasure always and always. Love you
Locket, harvest, keepsake. I always watch your videos as soon as they come out. So enjoyable to watch.
Thank you for another wonderful and encouraging video. I loved it when you said "now remember I'm 150 years old on the inside" ~ I am, too! :) What a beautiful keepsake your project bag is. Thanks again for taking the time to share with us.
Thinking of you and your family in your time of loss. 🙏 Your dedication to your faith, family, and love of all things stitching and antiques had me hooked from day one. May your dedication to the needle arts continue to bring you joy and continue to bless us all in the stitching world. locket, keepsake
Cross stitch is such a stress relief with all going on in life. Thinking of you and your family, I just know you will do amazing and inspirational at the service. You are a keepsake to heart!
My mother in law who is 96 still embroiders and then I take them home and make pot holders out of them so she can gift them to her care aids in the nursing she lives in. And though her stitches are not as perfect as she would like them, it blesses everyone who receives a pot holder from her.
In this season of thankfulness, I am so thankful for you & your videos!! I loved all your finished pieces. I can’t believe all you got done while being sick. You are amazing. I enjoyed seeing all your amazing gifts & purchased things. That pineapple quilt is a precious keepsake. It is gorgeous. Thank you for another fantastic video. I feel like I am sitting with a friend!! Keepsake!💖✨💫💝
Thank you for the words regarding what you stitch on. I stitch on Aida 14 because it's easy for me to see. I am thinking of ordering some linen just to practice on - but seriously thank you for your beautiful kind words and encouragement.
I love your videos and seeing the beautiful keepsake stockings that you made for your grandchildren, along with all of your other beautiful stitching. You are amazing!
Ohhhhh you are a keepsake! Your Shepards Bush stockings are gonna be beautiful ❤️ Always inspired after watching you!

Keepsakes are so special and you truly are a keepsake to all of your subscribers.
Shellie, I'm so sorry for the loss of your stepfather. I'm glad your kidney infection cleared up. I know that pain, and it's excruciating. I had a kidney stone along with an infection. Love all your stitching! You are an inspiration! Thank you!
Keepsake
Shellie you are a keepsake . Thank you for all you do on floss tube and our cross stitching community. Hugs Betsy in Maryland
I really admire your ability to get so much done and having such knowledge on such a wide variety of crafts to share with us all. Always enjoy your program. You are such a blessing. Parsnip, Locket, Keepsake.
I really loved your Maker Moment because I agree that anything we stitch is a wonderful keepsake.
A Stocking to stitch for my only granddaughter would just be awesomeness
Love how big your heart is and it’s such a Keepsake to hold so dearly.
Sorry for your loss 🙏 for comfort for you and your family ❤
Shellie I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I facilited my father's funeral and I understand what Wednesday will be like. Sending you much love and prayers.
I love your stitching and your videos. Thank you for sharing everything with us. I love parsnip, keepsake, stocking, blooms.
Shelli you are such a Kind, Caring,Thoughtful and Loving Person. I truly Love watching your videos. The Bags you Made are Beautiful and to win them would be a Keepsake to Treasure forever. Thank You Cindy😊
Thank you for your wonderful flosstubes! Love them. The parsnip is so cute. I like the stocking. Penny is adorable. Harvest pattern is so cheery. Alpine Blooms so beautiful. Oh my the Keepsake bags! Wonderful
I love everything about you!! Your loving heart, your beautiful home and your beautiful crafting! I just finished my first ever 46 count stitching for the locket pattern Colorado cross stitcher offered for free. Boy my eyes are old!! I’m gifting it to a stitching friend. Parsnips. Keepsake. Harvest. Stocking. I just finished a Christmas stocking for my youngest grandson! Stack bloom. I hope you and your family have the merriest holiday ever!! God bless you all!
As always inspirational and reaffirming. I am a multicrafter, lots of sewing, quilting, wool applique and cross stitch. I LOVE all of my hobbies! I am 100% 14ct Aida, why? Because I like it! I love to partocipate in wool swaps, xstitch swaps, quilt and sweing swaps of all kinds. Pride and best effort are the benchmark for excellence IMO, too. I just love making needlebooks and that parsnip is adorable. I have been looking at the stockings and would love to make one. Your Keepsake bag is lovely and what a treasure! Thank you for your generous and positive contributions to the stitching community, you are a joy and inspire me each time I see you!
Thank you so much for taking the time to put together these videos...I know it's work for you...but it's such a joy for me as I sit and "knit" while I watch your creations...of course all I do is take notes saying to myself "need that, have to get that...add to cart please!" lol. I, too, am an old soul and I just laughed out loud when you kept saying you were 150 inside...that's how I feel too:). Thanks so much!
Shelley…you are a keepsake kind of friend. Your heart is enormous. Wish I lived closer too! God bless you always.
So sorry about deaths in your family. It’s a hard time of year when I think about family members who are no longer with us. Thanks for sharing your stitching with us. A stocking is a better keepsake than a parsnip 😃
I am praying for you on your step fathers up coming funeral. You are a precious inspiration. I absolutely love keepsake. I am wishing you all luck on your 10,000 subscribers.
I loved your today's video so much and love all of your videos. You are definitely at the top of the list of my favorite flosstubers and I look forward to each and every one of your episodes. Everything you said and everything you showed was absolutely spot on and stunning. You are amazing!!! Thank you so much for your words of encouragement and kindness regarding having confidence in our own stitching and making. My deepest condolences on the loss of your stepfather and aunt. Sending prayers and blessings to you and your family. The keepsake bag that you made is so beautiful and it's so evident that you put so much love and caring into each stitch. Also the lttle parsnip pattern is so sweet. Thank you so much for sharing another great video.
Dear sweet Shellie, Very sorry to hear that you've been so sick and glad you are on the recovery road, & meds working. The loss of family is hard & I hope you will give yourself some time. You've knocked it out of the park with this video, wow so much to see & hear about. Happy you had good friends to spend time with & share all the joys of shopping & stitching. The nine patch quilt and apple core are amazing! What a treasure to enjoy. Bless you for you quilt purchase of the unfinished green and purple quilt. I call that a rescue & a challenge in the making for sure. Well, I have to tell you, I had to stop watching & go purchase those. plastic tabs for the weeks dye works threads! I've been using small metal teeth-like snaps on small curtain like rings to hang my thread & they are much heavier. Can't wait to try these tabs, What a great share that was. Now, that Martha Walmsley 1847 is so pretty & seeing everyone on instagram they have all been Beautiful. I have mine & trying to wait till Jan.to start. Look forward to seeing you progress on this beauty. The Keepsake project bags, chart and small bag are the most amazing gift you've given to everyone. Over 300 is quite a mountain to climb!! I am very grateful for your sharing of time & hours of work you give to us all. thank you
We just helped moving my dear sister to Cedar Rapids, Iowa to be near her grandchildren and she mentioned going to Amanda when I come to see her next time!! Maybe I’ll meet you at Amanda one day!! I’m stitching on a blessed Sunday morning…working on a gift from a stitchy friend…Autumn at Hawkrun Hollow…that we started as a SAL on Thanksgiving…because I am so thankful she is my friend!! I’m stitching one of the pumpkins in DMC 900 and it’s exactly the same color as your pretty blouse!! I was supposed to be with you this morning!!! ❤ your flosstubes are a treasure to me!! I plan to make several of the friendship charts you showed to give as a keepsake for my friends! You are such a loving, caring and inspiring beacon to all of us. Prayers for your continued healing and for a blessed holiday season!💕
Shellie I have been watching you from the start and enjoy your videos. You are a keepsake that makes me happy. Your bags are beautiful!
Wow so many beautiful fully finishes. Glad you are feeling better. Parsnip. Locket. Stocking. You are a keepsake in my book.
Your stitching is as bright as your personality. Glad I found your flosstube
God bless you Shelly as you journey through the process of grieving remember all the great memories you had with him. What a better place for him to receive him on most high. Great big hug my friend.
You make your channel the success that it is. You are so genuine, encouraging, knowledgeable and joyful. Each video is a keepsake I would hold in a locket close to my heart. I love the stocking and parsnip piece. Thank you for sharing❣️Hugs.
Shellie, I love it when I get my notification that your video is out,I set out to make time to watch the whole video at one time. I love your keepsake bundle. I be praying you reach your 10k subscribers, you deserve it we all love you so much.
You are such an encourager! I have two Jeffery’s. My son lost his stocking in a horrible hurricane in Florida. This coming year, I hope to get the family new stockings made. Love you, C
You are so fortunate to have Keepsakes as your LNS, if I ever get to that part of the country I would love to visit it! Thank you for the time you put into your videos and for sharing your talents and knowledge with us!
keepsake , blooms , parsnip , You have been my first cross stitch floss tube I've ever seen., and I just started stitching this year in Feb. I love your sweetness. You even encouraged me to do my own personalized cross stitch pattern. I'm a quilter as well (for 50 years), and feel the same as you about old quilts, you should see my hexie quilt all hand pieced.
Thank you for that maker’s moment - I definitely have felt the stigma of stitching on Aida and stitching on lower counts. Stitching is love - period. That bag would make an amazing keepsake!
Shelley I love the keepsake. I can't believe you made 302 bags, that is amazing to me. I love the work you do.
Dear Shellie, I am so sorry you were ill and thankful to see you feeling better. I have stitched so many pieces and hope that my daughter will cherish them as Keepsakes.
Thank you for such beautiful giveaways! Parsnips, blooms, stocking, keepsake,locket, stack, thank you!
Shellie, you are so wonderful. I can’t wait for each of your flosstubes. Parsnip, Locket, Stocking, Keepsake
It was great to catch up with you today. So much beautiful stitching! I too will stitch on almost anything. All of the stockings I stitched fit my children and grandchildren are on Aida. I started in 1991 and I want them all to match. I love them because, like you said, they were stitched with a part of my heart. And, my children love them. They are definitely a keepsake. Parsnip locket. Happy Stitching! Olivia
Shellie, you are a joy to watch and your enthusiasm is infectious. So sorry for the rough few weeks. I love the keepsake bags that you made, and making 302 oh my what a task..job..love them. Thanks for you video love watching them.
I love watching all of the crafting you do. Blooms is a great quilt pattern. Keepsakes is a lovely cross stitch shop.
Bless you dear one, hard times in our journey takes courage and Gods mighty strength. Congratulations on your stitching friends viewers. Love the stocking, stack, parsnip, locket, penny, blooms are wonderful keepsake..you are an encouraging person. Life takes courage, step up and take it on.
Love your finishes. I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better. Prayers for you and your family as you cope with your loss. The Keepsake bundle is absoulutely beautiful.
Parsnips are my favorite,locket is so awesome,stockings are also my favorite. You are such a great and inspiring lady. I can’t wait for all your videos
Thank you for your unbelievable "makers moment" from today's video. I'm an Aida stitcher and I have always felt that my stitching was mediocre because of the Aida. But, not after today!! My stitching is fabulous and thoughtful for the reasons that I stitched it with love and heart!! Love you!!
Hi Shellie
I am glad you are back and feeling better. Love seeing your work. You are a true ENCOURAGER.!!!!! Keepsake.
Your keepsake bag is amazing. And the locket, so many possibilities. Thank you for your continued inspiration.
Shellie, I am sorry for the loss of your step father and that you were so sick. You will do fine officiating at the funeral. You are just the sweetest, kindest, giving person I know and we’ve never met. I wish you were my neighbor, too! I just recently finished gathering my materials for Susan Stanley’s doll quilt, now I just have to find the time to start it. I couldn’t buy the kit because I retired out of necessity to stay home and raise my granddaughter that we have had since birth and she just turned two today! I’m not complaining, I love every minute with her! I was glad to see your video today, we missed you! I asked Santa to put a keepsake locket and a parsnip in my stocking, I think I’m on the good list this year, lol! I hope you have a wonderful Holiday season this year for Christ is the reason for the season!
Enjoyed this video so very much! I don't care for parsnips, but I love Stacy Nash's design. Thank you for all you do and share.❤
Your bags are a wonderful keepsake and tribute. I so enjoy your encouragement and appreciate your sensitivity.
Glad you are feeling better, Shelli. Having a bag your personally sewed would be a keepsake for me! God bless.
Oh my Keepsake! Thank you for your interesting floss tube, found out my grandma's hoops are collected. I keep all her things, even the unfinished tatting still on the hook. Thank you for teaching all of us.
So sorry to hear about your loss. Glad you are recovering from your kidney issues. You are so positive and encouraging to your viewers. We appreciate you sharing your talents with others ❤ We are headed to our first Amana retreat next spring. A highlight will be meeting you. I have so much and need nothing more, but I would ❤ the Keepsakes bag.

Congrats on surpassing 10,000 subscribers 🎉.
I wanted to thank you so much for your comments about Aida stitchers. I had a bad experience when contacting a well known brick and mortar shop about ordering an exclusive kit. Interestingly enough, I was speaking with the owner. The kit included linen and when I ask her if I could substitute Aida, she made a little huffing sound and said, “ What? You mean you don’t stitch on linen?!” Shellie, I my spirit was crushed. 30 years ago, I stitched on 60 count silk gauze for items for my dollhouse miniature projects with minimal to no magnification. Now I’m making a return to stitching
after 25 years and find that linen is extremely difficult and not enjoyable and that 16 count Aida is my sweet spot. My plan is to try 28 count evenweave after my new glasses come in.
Why do some people in our community try to make others feel less than if they don’t stitch on linen? I guess they don’t understand the limitations some people have. And a shop owner, too! She should have been encouraging and grateful for my patronage since this was an expensive kit. Eventually she sent me a piece of Aida but in a color that was at least 5 shades darker than what was designed for the kit. I’m talking not a cream or yellow but a rusty brown. I know I will never stitch this pattern, and I may never contact her shop again for anything.
Thank you for your encouragement. I will continue to stitch what I love ❤️
I too visited Amana with a friend two summers ago for outdoor antique quilt show in Somerset, IA and many shops, restaurants in Amana. Love quilt shop there. I’ve been to The Woolen Needle shop many times and has great inventory of wool and fabric. Glad you enjoyed retreat. Sorry to hear about your kidney infection but glad you are feeling better. Prayers go out to you and family on loss of your stepfather. May he rest in peace in heaven.
Loved your encouraging "Makers Moment", a great flosstube, thanks for sharing!
How exciting to be so close to 10K followers! Parsnip, Locket, Stocking, & Keepsake
Always fun to see and hear all about your creating - and shopping! Three hundred and two bags - just wow! Doesn’t everyone need a parsnip stocking keepsake! :) Thank you!
Parsnip, stocking, blooms, keepsake. So sorry for your pain over the past few weeks. Thanks for another great video Shellie. Hugs and blessings on your coming week!
Parsnip. Blooms. Keepsake.
So sorry to hear of your lost love ones and your sickness. Thanks for taking the time to do a great flosstube...I'm A aida stitcher and needed your encouragement. I have dabbled with even weave and love the result. Have used silk for first time this year and enjoyed that too! Loved your WIPs! I will love watching those stockings come to life. I have enjoyed your videos from the beginning and have learned so much! All the best until we meet again! I wish you lived next door.
Another great flosstube! I love the Jeffrey stocking and keepsake. Thank you!
Shellie I always look forward to your videos. You are such a blessing to this stitchy community! I am so glad you share your testimony of ministry. I also am an ordained minister. I know you will do a wonderful service for step father. Hugs and prayers for God’s anointing on you for the service. You know I wish close to a Keepsakes store. Here in Central Oregon we have to travel to Acorns and Threads our not so local shop. 3 and half hours away. Happy stitching.
Shellie, It is so wonderful to hear about how much fun you had with all your friends at the retreat. How fun to see all your gifts and purchases. You are a blessing to watch, love your sweet spirit! So, sorry to hear of your losses and your health issue. I will be praying for you and your family.
Hoping for either Parsnip or Keepsake. Thank you for another great video.
I was fortunate enough to snag a set of bags and pattern. I looked at them (so pretty), but I'm saving them as a Christmas present for myself😊. I had no idea Kari was tall-- she looks little (short) on camera! So sweet that the two of you are friends. I'm sorry you lost your stepfather 🙏. Last year, I had 6 funerals in 6 months-- it was rough. I love the look and admire those that stitch on linen, but it's not in my skill set. I'm perfectly okay with that! Thanks for encouraging us "non-linen" stitchers. You have such a kind and gentle spirit, and I enjoy your flosstubes so much!
We didn't have parsnips for supper, but I wish I had one. I imagine Stacey Nash makes better parsnips than I do. Thank you for your lovely videos. I'm so glad you are feeling better so you can give away a keepsake bundle!
Hello Shellie, I look forward to your videos to see all the beautiful stitching that you share. I am so sorry for your family’s loss. Hugs and prayers to you.
I think the little Penny project and the parsnip bunny are adorable. I hope that my stitching projects will be a keepsake for my family to remember me by.
Beth
I was watching your video and your makers moment filled my heart with joy. You are so gracious and so caring. Happy you are feeling better now. I really miss you when you're not there. God bless and keep you ❤❤
I sew love sweet sayings like Penny for your thoughts or love blooms here....but my favorite is The heart like the mind has a memory, and in it are kept the most precious keepsake (s)
Love your videos Shellie ❤
Your love for needle crafts shines Shelly and it's so inspiring! Your Keepsake bags are absolutely beautiful, I'm sure the quick fingers folks who managed to get one will treasure it always.
Stocking. Locket. Always love your episodes. Even when I’m behind. Hugs!!!!
I am so glad I found your channel. I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for reminding us that us Aida stitchers are worth something. When I started stitching 2 ¹/² yrs ago I felt so out of place when everyone else was stitching on linen or evenweave. I felt like a nobody but I quickly learned that our work is beautiful regardless of the fabric we use. Thank you for that reminder. Your work is beautiful. Your keepsake bundle is adorable.
I want to make a stocking for each family member. They would be a keepsake. It would definitely be a long term project. Have a safe and healthy holiday season. Thank you for all you do!
Love this video! What a wonderful Keepsake Locket to have! Thank you Shellie!
Keepsake penny parsnip. Thank you for sharing the Amana retreat. I don’t travel anymore, but would love to go there. Prayers for family losses. You are so deserving of your subscribers!
Shellie it is such an inspiration to listen to you. There is a saying; Penny for your thoughts. Harvest. Keepsake sounds like such a lovely store.
Parsnip
Locket
Keepsake-it would be wonderful to get this. A flosstube person missed out and I would love to send this bundle to her.
Congrats on getting closer to another milestone for your flosstube. So sorry for your loss recently and a speedy recovery to you.
May you have rest , peace, and heeling …. Your such a joy to watch I could watch you everyday , your such a genuine sweet soul and we think on the same level of people needing to be kinder to themself and I absolutely love stitching Aida I’ve never felt it was a “lesser “ cloth to stitch on not sure why others think linen is like the end all be all…. Be blessed in all you do , you are a keepsake ❤
What a wonderful flosstube! I’ve been following since the beginning and you are such an inspiration. Glad you are feeling better. Your bags and pattern would certainly be a keepsake.
Thank you for the stitching joy you share & I still in us. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Take care.
Another great video! Because of eye damage I am thankful to be able to stitch at all so I was happy for the encouragement. Mostly 14 count, on a good day maybe 16. Penny is so cute! I love anything with chickens. You have some beautiful keepsake quilts. Love the harvest moon! Sorry for your loss and prayers for you.
Shellie I am sorry for your loss and recent illness glad to hear you are feeling better. you are such a blessing to this community thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents I love your Keepsake bag the Locket with the Blooms they are all so beautiful
Glad your feeling better and back with another flosstube. Sending condolences on the loss of your loved ones. You received some lovely keepsakes from that retreat.
Shellie, I'm so glad that you're feeling better!
Thank you for talking about stitching on fabric that you enjoy. I LOVE stitching on 18 count Aida. It is definitely my favorite.
Thank you for the makers moment. I struggle with just trying to stitch on linen of any kind. One day I will get up the gumption, but not quite yet. Baby steps! Just love all your stitches! Parsnips, Locket, blooms, Keepsake. Thanks so much for the honor of possibly holding one of your lovlies in my hand.
