@ only able to make the Jingle Ball tonight, Friday.
See you there hopefully!!!
🧵You, Sarah, Sally and Ros are always at the top of my list! I always feel I've had a good catch-up with a friend following your flosstubes. Loved your parade of British designers and feeling very thankful for PDFs. Happy stitching
I would never leave before the end 🧵! 😂 Love all the UK designers, you are certainly going to have a busy January! ❤
Awwww thank you! I'm glad you stayed! It's going to be another busy year - just how I like it! Happy Stitching ❤️🪡🧵🎅
I always love watching you! You always make me smile!! You stitch beautifully!! 😊💗🪡🧵
What a lovely fabric you have chosen for cabin in the wooods - it’ll give a moody & snowladen sky❣️
Have a wonderful time at the ball! xxx
🧵 looking forward to watching all your stitching of British designers next year.
Thank you Dani! I am looking forward to it!
Love your flosstubes!❤Always a joy. Love your plans for January 🧵🪡
Love your flosstubes!!! You are one of my favourites! And yes I did watch you right to the end!! Lovely projects for in the new year!! I will probably be joining you for one or two!!
Thank you sooooo much! It is always lovely to hear that people enjoy - it keeps me going! I hope you do join in! 2025 is going to be fun! Happy Stitching and Merry Christmas 🎅🪡🧵❤️
Thank you Sally, lovely video & lovely stitching as always 🪡🧵
🧵🧵🧵🧵 Always stay until the end of your videos ❤️❤️ Wonderful episode that kept me company while waiting for the Jingle Ball to start. 😘 You have big plans for next year my friend! 😬🤩 Can’t wait to see all your beautiful projects! 😘
I always watch all the way to the end of your videos, love sewing everything you're working on and hearing about your plans 🧵
What an amazing year of fun stitching your 50 for 50 has been :) Can't wait to see what you get up to in 2025!
It really has been so wonderful Sian - I can't wait for 2025! I met the lady you met in Antigua at the Jingle Ball! I was saying I was from Wales and she got very excited! Was such fun! Happy Stitching and here's to a wonderful 2025 for us all ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Sally 🌷 love your flosstubes I would not miss them . I will join you with a pattern by Jasmine in Januari. You bring so much joy 🍀💫
So excited for the Best of British SAL! I loved seeing all your charts! 🧵
I'm.excited too - also going to join you in a freebie a month! Xxx
I love the best of British idea, we should be proud of the amazing talent we have over here. Thank you for including me.
I'll stitch the Happy Christmas to All with you! July sounds a realistic timeline for a start to me 🤩
Wonderful! Remind me nearer the time! Have a wonderful New Year and here's to a great 2025 for you and Love Poppet! ❤️🪡🧵
🧵 I always make ot to the end! Gosh, this one was chock a block full of great stitches and inspiration for 2025! Thank you so much Sally.
This is such a good idea for 2025 to keep your stitching planning going - it might feel very flat if you didn't have something! Lots of lovely designs featured, and I did make it to the end so 😇. Hope you have fun at the Jingle Ball, Kim ❤
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
You're welcome Sally. Thank you for your kind thoughts, they are much appreciated. I'm hoping to join on the Best of British in January. I have Nessie Mitchell by Michelle that I was planning to do for black sampler November but never got it started. So I'm thinking that might be a January start. I am trying to finish the MFE 2023 SAL by years end.
Was eating my vegetables stitching the last of the straight lines while watching you till the end 🪡🪡🪡 Just the words & final motif to stitch. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
Fitting in longer videos with Flossmas as well means that most of my tv watching has taken a back seat. 🪡🧵🪡
Yay to the winner! Looking forward to sending! Adore you choices Sally for best of British Sally and I can’t wait to follow you along! Well done with the 50 starts this year you’ve nearly reached the finish line!! 🎉
🧵🪡 Have a very Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas and happy stitching to you too! ❤️🪡🧵🎅
What an amazing January you have planned! I have Elizabeth’s Bird all kitted up and set to go. I’m so excited to see what everyone chooses! Have a wonderful time at the ball! 🧵
🧵 Don’t how you are going to find the time to stitch all of that! Love that little bag
Hi Sally, loved catching up with you today and seeing how you are doing! You are so nearly there with 50 in 50 and super impressed with how many of those you have also finished. I’m definitely going to look at my British kits/ WIPs to join in with you next year. Maria from Wiltshire
Hi Maria! Thank you for your kind words! I do hope you join me with a British stitch - there are so many wonderful ones to choose from! Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❤️
@ Vivsters UK flag is already a WIP so this will spur me on to work on it. I haven’t started the cross stitch from Love Poppy yet, the one you finished, so this is going to be a start in 2025.
🧵Wow, thanks for all the info, great to promote British designers and fabric dyers! Happy Advent. x
Great video, Sally. Of course I stayed till the end; I loved every minute🪡! As I mentioned earlier, I have had somewhat serious health issue recently - I suffered a compression fracture in my back. It will heal without surgery (thank God!), but it's very slow and rather painful at the moment. Hence, it makes it very difficult for me to search thru my cross stitch goodies to gather needed items for new starts. I'm hoping to jump on the Cabin in the Woods piece which Stitchy Sally is also starting this month, but unfortunately I probably won't be able to start till January sometime. And - it looks like Strawberry Fields will suffer the same fate. But, never fear! As soon as I can get my materials together, I'll be jumping right in with you all. Take good care and have an absolutely FABULOUS Christmas. I remember all the years I spent at home for Christmas, and treasure every single memory of those sweet, sweet days. Fondly, Steph xx
🧵Thank you for another great flosstube. I am starting Strawberry Fields forever today the 8th for my birthday. 🪡
Lovely floss tube Sally! I’m going to join you in the best of British Sal and get some more of my stitch in London exclusive by Yas done! I love all of your plans! And you make me feel better with all the plans that I have too :) 🧵🪡
Hi Sally, it was lovely chatting with you at the stitchy table at Jingle Ball! I love your idea of honouring the British designers, I have done and will stich a lot of their designs 🥰 Would love to join you, maybe not in starting, but sharing the past finishes and FFOs 😉
🧵I made it to the end! Almost 38 weeks pregnant and unable to sleep, so thank you for keeping me company while the rest of my house sleeps!
Oh my goodness! How wonderful! Now I am wondering if 5 days on if baby has appeared yet! Good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly! Happy Stitching when you get chance ❤️🪡🧵
Loved your stitchy update, some great charts planned in for 2025.🧵
🧵 I love seeing all your charts, I don’t buy that many charts but have got the cosy cabin kitted up and ready to go , I’ve loads of full coverage needing attention and intend getting a good bit of progress next yr on them, I’ve never had so many wips before 😖 Enjoy the jingle ball, and rest of weekend. Love the finished pieces too.
Take care and see you in the next one 🙂
I’m planning to do some patriotic stitching too next year. In my case that will be starting every month a chart made by a Dutch designer or a chart with a Dutch theme. I will name it Het beste van Nederland / The best of The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Greetings, Clara
Oh how wonderful Clara! I did discuss with Fanny (from The Soul Stitchers) showcasing some European designers and I think I might have a Dutch one that a lovely lady gifted to me. So I hope I can join you one month too! Happy Stitching ❤️🪡🧵
🧵 love your WIPS
Thank you! Happy Stitching ❤️🪡🧵
I made it 🧵and enjoyed stitching along while you chatted. You’ve such a lovely calming voice. I’m looking forward to following along with the best of British this year… a great idea. I’d love to gift one of my Margot the Mouse charts as a (that word we can’t mention) for your channel. Karen x
Yes I will be joining you Stitching the Tulip House. We just need to pick a date. Are you not starting the Birdies MFE 2025 in Jan? Thanks for keeping me company while I worked on John quilt. Always lovely to see what you have been stitching and hearing about your plans. Enjoy Jingle balls I might see you there.
Well you did see me at the Ball! Was great to see you too. Yes will start the birds but need to get a thread I am happy with so won't be a new year start I don't think....we'll see if that CGT shows up and if I think it will look good.....happy Stitching my friend 🧵🪡❤️🎅
Always get to the 🧵 ❤❤❤
Thank you Steve! I hope you enjoyed it too! Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❤️
🧵 I am trying to catch up on flosstubes but I have watched to the end!
Awww thank you Sue! Happy New Year and happy stitching 🧵🪡❤️
I love your stitching ❤
❤Love your stitching and plans
I have got several of the same charts!! Have fabric & waiting for floss for Cabin in the Woods so probably start that with you.
Excellent! I would love you to join us! 🧵🪡❤️
Love Dagfields as you can find all sorts of things there! I will check out Impressions again when I am there. Another fabulous Flosstube. I was stitching Sophia Neal by Whilst Iris Naps…I will definitely join in the Best of British in January!
Oh I’m so far behind with my favourite flosstubes. 🤷🏻♀️ Love your Twin Bird pincushion and I really admire you for trying to get a Jingle Ball stitch started and finished at this time of year. Oh, I do so hope that your last start is on 21st so we can finish the year together. I promise you I’m not very competitive, but it has been fun to try keeping up with you. It’s been the best way I could have celebrated this year. Hopefully we can get together after Christmas to record a little closing video for the Sal. 😘
🧵 of course I’m still here !!
Awww thank you my friend 😘😘😘😘
What a lovely video, you have inspired me with so many new charts!! I have the Log Cabin it is already to go maybe I can join you with a new year start!! 😊🪡🧵
Ooh please do! The more the merrier! It's such a gorgeous chart!
🧵 gosh if you did mention your favourite British designer it would be like admitting you have a favourite child. They're all so wonderful. See you in a couple of weeks x
It would be wouldn't it! So many fabulous designers and fabulous charts - we are so lucky! Have a wonderful Christmas and see you in the new year I hope! Xxx
Of course we’ll make time for you Sally and stay to the end 😅 I am joining Mary Ann for Cabin in the Woods on January 1 and Strawberry Fields this weekend, too! I have the Octagonal Pin Keep, so we should plan a start together sometime next year.
Hi Sallie, thanks for a wonderful video and I will find a British designer so I can start at least one with you for next year. Enjoy the jingle ball. I plan on doing so as well although I’m not as far as stitching on my gingerbread house as you are happy stitching cheers🧵
I’m trying to finish festive forest and haven’t even started the Gingerbread house 🤣. I love that you are both competitive 😂. I feel really enabled but I want to concentrate on WIPs next year. Jingle Ball time 🪡
Oh yes! Let’s start that one. Just tell me the date!!
Lovely Vlog. I have a number of MommaLovesYouGB patterns to stitch 😊. Will definitely start on during January. 🧵🪡
Hey Sally 👋 Great video! I will probably join you stitching some of the charts you showed 🧵
I love Dagfields and visit often and is where I got my spool from for Tona. Maggie runs impressions crafts and when she was in a bigger unit I went every week for a beading class, mostly jewellery but it did lead to my love of beading with Delicas 😊
I may join in with some British designers next year once I’m done with the commission although that will count anyway with it being a U.K. designer. Happy stitching and have a lovely Christmas and new year if I don’t see you next week x
Hello! Love your videos 🪡🧵🪡🧵
I would love to start a going Coastal of Love Poppet with you in the new year. Like you, I do save my threads if I can get three stitches and I am experimenting with Pony needles and so far really like them. 🦉🎅🏼🧑🏼🎄❤️
🪡Got to the end but didn't quite make it un-enabled lol Would love to stitch Rockin Robin from love Poppet when you start....
Sorry for the late reply - would love to stitch along together! Could you message me on Instagram and we can come up with a start date? Happy Stitching xxx
🧵Of course I made it to the end. Lovely to see you again and I enjoyed seeing what you're going to start next year. Looking forward to Cabin in the Woods. I think Donnette is joining in as well, and Sarah. I have the Robin Pickens summer chart and would join you for that one if you do it. Just let me know when. Would you be able to get Flosstube #50 done in 2024? That would be a neat way to end Fun for Fifty. But it's also a great way to start 2025. Take care Sally.
😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
🧵 Hi Sally, I hope to be able to join you with some pieces on your SAL next year. I have the Meloca Designs Robin and am hoping that Father Christmas will be bringing me the Love Poppet one! I think I’ve been a good girl 😅.Also have Nautical Pillow kitted up but depends if I have a slot in Jan as I’m already having 3 new starts in Jan 😂. Love the Stacy Nash piece and Home for Christmas is looking gorgeous. My views are down and it’s either because my sound was a bit iffy or because people are preferring to watch Flossmas videos lol! Personally I don’t watch them as I wouldn’t have time to watch the normal ones. Happy stitching my friend 😊 x
Pretend i know how to put a thread emoji here - LOL am so not up on what that is or does. Enjoyed seeing all your British designs/designers as a trunk show lol take care, Nic x
🧵I stayed 😊
Thank you! 😘😘😘
Loved catching up with you today.
I did watch you to the end but I can't figure out how to add a thread spool
Your 2025 plans sound very exciting and I think it's a fantastic idea to champion British designers. I'd love to join you! I've had my eye on Spring on Locke Lane for quite a while - I think the colours are stunning! Would love to start it together, if you're up for it?
🪡🧵😅
Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas 🎅❤️🪡🧵
