*ITALY and DEB's stories
Deb shared about her trip to Italy! What a fantastic experience!! CHOW!
*New items!
While many of the goodies we shared today are not directly stitching related they were certainly unique and fun to see. Who knew that Pinocchio's story began in Florence, Tuscany!
*Current Work.....Deb and Liz showed a few pieces that have been in progress.
Deb worked on Flea Market Flowers from It's So Emma
Additionally she worked on the Mystery Sampler called Serenity Harbor
by By the Bay Needleworks.
Liz worked on Sampler Tree by Liz Matthews
Additionally she worked on Henrietta from the Animal Crackers collection by Stacy Nash.
*Giveaways
There were subscriber tributes awarded as well as an Organizer and Bundle winner awarded.
*Beginner Basics discussion
Liz shared a project she wishes to start but wanted Deb's assistance with choosing the fabric. So with Liz's floss and linen choices, Deb assisted Liz with her selection.
*Finishes
Deb finished A Heart Remembers by Black Bird Designs. The stitch was done on 46 cnt. Lt. Exemplar linen. It is gorgeous.
Liz finished Chocolate or Coffee by Erica Michaels. It will be finished as a "strawberry".
This piece was stitch on 37 cnt Legacy linen as called for on the pattern.
*Gadget Corner
Several viewers asked about the grid that was shown on a prior Country Stitchers video. The
grid was done using "EZ Guide" and it was previously featured as a gadget. This time Liz showed a piece of evenweave that she had woven the EZ Guide into so that she could demonstrate how it worked. The piece she was stitching was a Tatty Teddy Pattern taken from a pattern featured in the World of Cross Stitch magazine extra. This dates back to the early 2000's. Thanks to her friend ELVA from Hertsfordshire!

OMGosh! Deb, your excitement and joy is so wonderful! Just makes me smile and remember my own awe when we lived in Germany and traveled. I would have loved to have you as a travel buddy back then! Liz, I hope you show pics of your breads. And, I love this explanation/instruction stuff - like picking the color fabric for the strawberries. Please show your storage for magazines. I ended up with a lot from a FB Marketplace buy.
I’m so jealous of your trip, it sounded amazing. I loved the sketch of your grandson. I am hoping to go to Rome someday my favorite character is pinnoceo. I know I hacked the spelling but you get the just of it. You and Liz are so amazing together I love your relationship. I love watching the antique needle worker, pumpkin hallo quilts and comfort stitching of course you two. I watch aleast one cross-stitch video a day everyday. Can’t get enough of them you all are so inspiring. Your nursery is going to be so cute. You’re by the water cross stitch is so beautiful Deb. The heart remembers is just gorgeous . I would love to stitch Frakter.
Loved hearing about your trip Deb it sounds likea wonderful time. You wer so blessed. Loved all of the video and seeing the stithing. Deb your Fraktur Flower is gorgeous finish.
Deb, your trip to Italy sounds amazing, what a 50th birthday gift! I love to watch you and Liz and really miss your weekly videos, but I understand. Your last video you showed some of Vicky Clayton’s threads you bought and I bought 2 of those sets and one other big set, they are so pretty, plus I bought the bobbin holders from Amazon. I filled those two and had to order more containers, yep, I kind of went overboard on my purchase but wanted to try them out. Thanks again for your videos, I’m looking forward to the next one, have a very blessed day!
Oh my goodness … I have just discovered the two of you and I can’t stop binge watching. I want to stitch EVERYTHING you do ( and I am) but I would love to stitch Fraktur Flowers as it’s on my wish list from 123stitch. And as always … share the joy of needlework 😊
Great to visit with you again. I loved hearing about Debs trip to Italy. Its almost surreal to spend time in another country on our same planet! Love the fraktur. Your finish is fabulous, Deb!
Italy! How fun! Enjoying watching you gals! Fractor new word…! Love it and the finish. ❤️
My granddaughter is 5 and she loves to watch me cross stitch, I fixed up a piece of 10 count and plastic needle to help her make her x. She sits beside me and stitches in her great grandmothers rocking chair just perfect child’s size! Precious memories. I love being her Nana.
Heartwarming to hear about various forms of art, music, recipes being taught & passed down to the younger generations & that they want to learn from their elders
❤you are truly blessed!
It was so fun to hear about your trip, Deb. I love the stories and also the fabulous mementoes you brought back for the nursery/grand-babies. Treasures! So sweet and thoughtful! Liz, being the sweet and thoughtful friend you are I’m sure the movie you made from the pictures is also a treasure. I enjoy your videos. Thank you for all that you share. Hugs to both of you! ❤
Glad to hear your trip was so wonderful! I LOVED that baby girl dress!! Fraktur
To the young woman stitcher . . . hopefully you've perused Flosstube. There are so many younger stitchers and they stitch very different, modern designs. There's truly something for everyone. I love that you stitch with your grandmother! Though I'm the only cross stitcher in my family, absolutely EVERYONE (well, us girls anyway) do some type of needlework: crochet, knitting, etc. When I think of Grandma, I can see a crochet hook or knitting needles in her hand. You'll cherish those hours together.
What a fun trip. I just loved all the Pinnochio treasures, especially the clock pendulum.
"No colors" at all made me laugh.
Wonderful video. I loved hearing about your trip. It sounded like you had a ball! I sincerely loved the finish you used for your fraktur flowers. It was so lovely! Until next time, I pray you two have many hours of happy stitching. ❤️🪡🧵😊
So happy to see you both again, Deb it sounds like you had an amazing vacation, and so many finds from Italy.
Love the Journal book, the post cards are amazing.
Liz: The phone holders are lovely, age is just a number, giggles.
Oh my Liz, the bird pillow will be beautiful, love the frame for Home Deb, perfect, great idea to stitch Home on top of the fence. Love the Strawberry designs, I would use Fox and Rabbit fabric, outlining the snowman is also a great idea.
Donna Bayliss has so many lovely designs, Henritta is so cute.
Animal Crackers are not as popular as they were when I was little, Heart Remembers is a beautiful book, what an honor for your Mother and Father.
Chocolate please and then coffee, what a great idea to do a needle roll, congratulations to the winners.
Deb: The finish is beautiful, love it, I have never used an easy guide before, looks like something I need to try, the Tatted Teddies are so sweet, many of the older patterns are making a comeback, Charlie will look so handsome.
Fractur.
I am glad you enjoyed your trip 😊😊Beautiful stitching the ocean one wow!!! Fraktur❤❤❤
Hi girls, Italy sounds so amazing, thanks for telling us all about your trip Deb. Hope to get there one day! Love the design A Heart Remembers Deb, beautiful stitching, and as always your work Liz is stunning. Love watching your channel while I stitch. 💜
Thank you both for a wonderful visit today. You had me in stitches ,my head snapped up when you said Deb only 2 colours. I thought wasn't this decided before had Deb forgotten. No it was a leg pull. I am so glad you enjoyed Italy isn't it the most wonderful country. Love all the goodies you brought back Deb. Apart from Teresa there is also mommalovesyouGBmichelle on you tube. We still have some magazines being published here in the UK Chloe could have a digital subscription if she can't find them in any LNS. I have not cross stitched for a little while as I am still on my RSN course and loving it, so I am living vicariously through floss tube for my cross stitch fix. Happy stitching ladies.
Loved listening to your fabulous trip Deb, so jealous. Fraktur Flowers is fabulous Deb and so beautiful on the piece you have it on. Liz you do great on your coffee cone. I’m stitching that design making the other two pieces into pillow for my granddaughter who loves coffee and leaving for University in the fall. Never loose sight of your dear friendship for each other.💞
Deb, your trip sounds amazing! I'm so glad you could make those memories!!! Thank you ladies so much, I always enjoy watching your videos 🤩
Fraktur
Wow! Thank you for another wonderful video. The Fractur flowers chart is stunning and your finish is outstanding.
Question for Deb......
I admire how you incorporate lovingly gestures with special dates / years into your needlework pieces
? - Since many of your pieces are framed, do you ever take the time to write on the back what those dates refer to, (such as in this video) to document your emotional visions to pass on to future generations?
🌈 Lisa
I loved your recap about your Italy trip. And Chloe's comment about being an old soul. My daughter Cross stitches and quilts and in Middle school she was called an old soul by her teacher. She is now 31 and loves the creative process of both cross stitch and quilting and she is a first grade teacher.
My, what a WONDERFUL trip you had Deb and your husband. Sounded so AWESOMENESS in deed. Such a joy to always see you ladies, l find it so relaxing to Cross-Stitch watching your Your UA-cam. So happy l got your notification this time❤👌👏❤💖🌷🥀 Carolann from near Lake Superior
I always have enjoyed your videos!! Both of you are so talented. I get so many ideas to cross stitch from you!! I love the Fraktur that Den completed!! Thanks for always sharing your work!!❤️
My granddaughter who is only 2 1/2 years old likes to watch me stitch. She sometimes pokes the needle through the fabric. When she gets the chance she is always grabbing my stitching bag and pulling everything out to look at (she doesn’t seem to bother anything else except my books on my bookshelf. She loves books!). I hope she is still interested when she’s old enough to start stitching. Deb, your trip to Italy sounds amazing! Glad to see a video from you on my feed today. I love the Fraktur! Happy stitching until your next video!
Deb, your trip to Italy sounded amazing! I really like the Fraktur pattern, your finish looks great.
Oh my gosh - you're making me want to go back to Italy. I was there in 2016 and it was like walking through a dream. I agree - the people, the food - the Italians definitely know how to live well. Thanks for sharing your trip. So nice to catch up with you both. Kathy
Loved hearing about your trip to Italy Deb. What a beautiful gift from your husband for your birthday. I love Fractur flowers and would love to stitch them. Thanks for a great flosstube ladies.
The hand drawn portrait you got in Italy is truly amazing, what a precious treasure! The Fraktur Flowers looks interesting, would enjoy stitching it.
Great video, ladies. Deb, I am so jealous of your great trip and loved all the exciting places you shared in your Italy travels! I’m so glad you and Matt got to experience that together in fun times. Your Fraktur piece is beautiful as is the flowers you are working on. I am also still working on that one. Happy Stitching to you both!!!
I love your flower color choices way better!! How exciting to hear about your trip!!
I always enjoy when you show some of your previous finishes along with the new. Deb, I love love how you finished your Fraktur Flowers, it's absolutely stunning. It was so much fun to hear all about your trip to Italy and see some of the treasures that you brought back. Thank you both for such a wonderful video. Happy Stitching!
Loved hearing about Italy! I was there about 10 years ago and long to return. Wonderful video as always ladies!!❤
What an amazing trip! So much to see in Europe!
Fraktur Flowers is so beautiful.
Italy sounds absolutely fabulous!

Love Fraktur Flower pattern. So glad to see Deb bringing our her By the Bay pattern! Loved living vicariously on Deb's journey through Italy.
I enjoyed listening about your trip to Italy! It is one of the places I would like to travel to someday. I've always loved Italy and Africa. Thank you so much Deb and Liz for sharing parts of your life, and cross stitching. I just love to sit and listen to you both, as if you are sitting in my living room while I stitch or draw. I'm stitching on a new piece, Maine. As I live in Maine 😊. I am very interested in Fraktur Flowers, it's one of the pieces I have been wanting to stitch. Thank you again Deb and Liz ❤️

Ahhh, Italy! And those special gifts from hubby are priceless. Glad you enjoyed your visit. (Bologna had GREAT food--your next time!)
The camaraderie between you two is so sweet to watch; thanks for sharing your enthusiasm, your expertise, and you encouragements!
What a wonderful recap of your visit to Italy....so many flosstubers have visited there recently. Your finish of the Fraktur Flowers is beautiful. I have a collection of the Cross Country Stitching magazines.....long before the individual patterns came out.
Deb I love your finishing! I would love to stitch Fraktur flowers 1/1 on 36 count ❤. I’ve been watching for about 4 years now and never miss an episode 😊

I would have been so star struck. You should have started to sing… The moment I wake up, before I put on my make up! A favorite part of mine from My Best Friends Wedding. Your trip sounds amazing.
Loved hearing about your trip to Italy, Deb. What a wonderful time you had! Fraktur Flowers is very pretty. I have a collection of old magazines that I like to take an afternoon and look through. A lot of fun!
Loved hearing about your trip to Italy. So glad you had a great time. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful stitching. Some of the UK floss tube stitchers I watch are Bumble stitcher, Sew me Sarah, Momma loves you GB, Just sew Sherrie and a new one Periwinkle stitcher. Love all of those. 🧵✂️🪡🧵
Deb, loved hearing about your Italian adventures. Made me nostalgic for my trips to Europe total of 5 times. My BFF lived and worked in Brussels for hear talking all around but none of it in English/ a couple years and I would visit and we'd go all around. Isn't it amazing when your standing in a square or on a street and everyone is talking and you don't understand a word.
I ❤our trip around the boot of Italy, Murano and burano were great at their crafts!❤ I hope you got the glass back without a fraktur flowers
I loved hearing about your Italy trip. Having been to Rome and Pompeii I know how amazing the country is. I hope you get to go back. I would love to stitch Fraktur flowers.
I enjoyed hearing about your trip to Italy & the things you brought home to decorate with! Thank you ladies for sharing your time & love of stitching.
Wow, Deb, what a great trip ! Thanks for sharing. I always watch your videos. That Fraktur is beautiful.
Fractor is beautiful. Italy sounds heavenly. Tools presentation is great. I need to try easy guide. The baby girl dress and hand drawn photo are awesome.

What a fabulous trip! Your Fraktur finish is gorgeous.
I loved hearing about your trip. Rome was one of our favorite vacations. We are planning a trip to Greece next year for our 25th anniversary -- I am so excited! You are so correct about the rich history and delicious food that is like no other.
Always fun watching, and thanks for sharing.....the fraktur is amazing....your trip sounds amazing...please take care

Fractur Flowers is on my list and someday I will start it for sure. Great to hear that you've been to Europe again, Deb. Maybe someday you will be visiting Germany again? I can recommend Saxony, especially "Sächsische Schweiz" 😉
Wow now I must get to Italy. Thanks for sharing ...Love your watching you guys..Im fairly new and have enjoyed watching all your old shows to get to know. Yes loved your Box with Fraktur Flowers ..beautiful
Thanks for sharing all about your trip to Italy Deb. Sounded like a wonderful trip! Thank you both for sharing your lovely stitching. Have a good week.😊🪡
What a great video … hearing about Italy was great … loved your stories and seeing your works in progress … until next time 😊❤ Dena
Oh how I enjoyed this video especially hearing all about Italy. That’s my dream someday to go there. You shared in such detail that I almost felt like I had been there. Thank you for that. The Fraktur Flowers pattern looks wonderful!!
Thank you for your video. Oh, Deb, you brought back such great memories for me talking about your vacation to Italy. I'm an Army brat, and we were stationed in Germany when I was a teen. We took a month trip to Italy. We went to Rome, and Pisa. Amazing memories. I know just what you mean about how different it feels being around 800 year old buildings and monuments, and churches! We stayed in an actual Italian boarding house instead of a hotel in Rome. Talk about experiencing what it would be like to live every day. Glad you had such a wonderful time. Loved seeing your stitching. I would love to stitch the Fraktur piece. Take care and happy stitching!
OMG. I have loved Fraktur Flowets since the first time you showed it. I am in love !!
Fraktur is so beautiful and reminds me so much of Pennsylvania Dutch, as I grew up in the area. Enjoyed listening to your (Deb) trip to Italy….we loved it there and also want to go back.
I love a heart remembers. I want to do it too.
I am an older but a new again stitcher 82 and love your flosstubes. Back again after 20 yes and addicted and ready for another 20 years.l want another 20. It’s amazing the changes, a wonderful thing that happened during Covid. Crossstitching is my go to . Absolutely love Liz the gadget parts and Deb’s montage. Keep at it both of you. Loved the sketch ofyour grandson Deb
Your harbor piece is so pretty Deb.
So fun to hear about Deb's trip to Italy. As always, lovely to see all the wonderful stitching. Absolutely love the finishing of Deb's Fraktur Flower stitch!
Glad you had such a lovely visit to Italy. Thank you for sharing. Love your’ fraktur flowers’ finish.
Welcome back from your trip Deb. Sounded so wonderful. I love your finished Fraktur flower finish. Have a wonderful day stitching..
Hugs. Barbara
Thank you for such a great video. Loved hearing about your trip. Your finishes and WIPs are beautiful.
Love your trip remembrances. Really makes you wish was there
Thank you so much Deb, for taking us along with you to Italy!!! What a fun trip!!!! Enjoyed every part!!!! Always enjoy your videos and look forward to them knowing I will learn something and be so inspired.
I so agree with your comments on Italy.....Venice to me is just a beautiful place...it's lovely to see your pure joy
Thank you so much for another wonderful floss tube video. Your trip sounds amazing Deb and the lovely things you brought back are just too ‘stinking cute’ 😂. I love the friendship you two share and your absolute joy in making so many wonderful things. You have given me so many ideas on finishing other than framing, thank you so much. Happy stitching xx
So glad you had such a great trip, Deb!! Now you must return after each grandchild to have their portrait done by the same artist!! You can’t play favorites!! lol.
Thanks for another wonderful, informative video!! Take care!
You ladies are so much fun to watch!
Thank you so much for another great video. I loved hearing all about your trip to Italy Deb. My brother and sister and I are going to Rome for 4 days in January for a sibling city break! I have been to Sicily before but never Italy so very much looking forward to it. Thank you for sharing.
My daughter and her husband did almost the same Italy trip you did. She is also 50 but they did the trip for their 30th anniversary. She also thought the food was wonderful and healthier.
Me and my husband did a tour of Italy, started in Venice and ended in Rome, the best holiday ever. I have watched you do Fraktur flowers and love the way you finished it. CrossStitcher and World of Cross Stitch are still going I get them both, and I was in world of cross stitch this month on the letters page with one of my finished projects.
Your trio to Italy sounds wonderful!!
I love your videos..which I have watched from the beginning I might add….i love that your show is in your craft room…always makes me want to redecorate (briefly) but it seems so cozy and warm…keep up your videos love both you
I have been eyeballing Fraktur Flowers ever since I saw it in you previous videos. It's a beautiful piece. I used to be called an old soul because I would sit with my grandmother and grandfather and stitch with them when I was younger. I recently just turned 45 and have found I'm no longer being called an old soul, just old.😅 Love your channel!
Lol...I was also called an old soul because I spent so much time with my maternal Grandmother. She was such a neat lady... Unfortunately She didn't live long enough to meet any of my children. Now people don't call me an old soul... just plain old!!!! But at nearly 71 I just laugh, time seems to really fly as I get older... I may be older, but I hope that I never become old... I want to be just like my Mom and Grandma. They believed that age is a state of mind... You are only "really" old if You choose to be!
Deb Your Frankfurt Flowers are so beautiful!!! You are so talented. I also enjoyed Your wonderful description of Your trip to Italy. You are so blessed to have been able to go on this wonderful trip. The sketch of Your Grandson was beautiful, but pardon me for being a bit nosy... You mentioned that Y'all are making a nursery.. are You adopting??? I have been in the hospital for awhile, so I guess I missed the announcement (explanation??).
At any rate, I love Your channel. Both of You are so darn inspiring!!
Take care, be safe and GOD BLESS. Linda
@@lindadulin174 that is so true. I've always said your not old until your dead, and seeing as I will always be a child at heart, I may just live forever. I didn't get to know my Dad's parents as they both passed when I was an infant but my grandparents on my mother's side both got to spends a few years with my kids. The most important thing is the memories we have and pass on.
Deb’s trip to Italy sounds absolutely amazing! Love the Fraktur Flower.
