Oh boy! I am not stitching all of these, I have chosen 1 to start and 1 is a WIP. They are merely designs I feel are gorgeous and would like to share in case someone is looking for a I.e. Santa or reindeer etc to stitch :) Thank you for tuning in today!
Oh I’d love to stitch them all too but I think I would get anxiety if I had that many xmas stitches on the go. For Xmas in July I will be focused on 2 of them :) Thank you for sharing your time with me today
Great video! And I think this is a really fun idea for the community. It will make Christmas in July even more festive, and I can't wait to see what you've got planned for the advent!
Thanks so much for sharing your time with me today, I think it will be a lot of fun to see what everyone shares as their fav patterns. Will you be sharing some of your favourites?
That Renato Paralin tree is wonderful. I'm putting a lot of his trees on my someday list. My snowman/snow woman would be the Annie Beez You Melt My Heart pattern that I discovered just a few days ago. Reindeer: Maybe the RTO Candle and Key. It's hard to pick just one.
Thanks for tuning in this morning. I don’t know that snowman pattern and I will have to look it up. I hope you follow along via Instagram sharing your selections when the hashtag starts - I’d love to see your other choices :)
@@FibersandFlossCanada Ha. Never went to sleep. In a heat wave here, so I'm sleeping days and being active at night. I'll try to be brave and learn to post on Instagram. I'm 73, but cross stitch might be the thing to drag me into this century.
What a fun idea! It is a bit too much for me to start 12 projects but I’m going to dive into my stash and see what I have that would work for each of the 12 projects. Happy Canada Day!
Oh goodness I’m not starting all 12! I’m simply sharing patterns I love for the Christmas season. I will be stitching only one of them :) phew! You are going to give me anxiety lol!
Great idea! Since it takes time to get the Owl Forest, I would like to point out the Nutcracker Ballet by Twin Peaks Primitives. It's wonderful and available as a pdf chart.
Really enjoyed this Flosstube! I don't how you could pick the best, there are so many beautiful ones out there! This is the first time I have thought of participating in Christmas in July as I have a Santa I would like to finish. I especially love Quaker stitching and he was a release thru Pansy Patch Quilts last year. Looking forward to July 8th!
Both how I do love birds too! That’s a wonderful theme for this month as the birds are so loud with their singing! Here they wake me up at 5am! Happy stitching :)
I would never be able to stitch so many pieces in what is left of my life but I love your ideas! It is worth making the choices just for the fun of looking! Thank you for sparking the ideas. I think I will search for one idea each day and post it on IG.i don’t have a flosstube but I will have fun anyway. 🥰🎄🎄🎄
Oh yes and that’s the idea, to get everyone to share on Instagram. Flosstubers can also use the graphics for a video if they want, but it’s really about creating community via IG for all the stitchers :)
So cool I will be following your progress stitching Christmas in July You’re so cool I always love it and I have Santa’s midnight ride in progress right now and actually stitched on it today
WOW....looking forward for sure. Well, for me the favourite is of course everything Nora/Mira....lol. Thanks for all you do. Will put that date on my calendar. I am not on Instagram so hopefully you can do Facebook as well.
Thank you Hanna. I’m on FB on a personal account but nothing for fibers and floss and honestly not sure I can manage/stay on top of another account. I know other Flosstubers have reached out too so I’m sure there will be some more FB action on this for sure :) Thank you for tuning in today :)
Fun video! I pulled all of my Christmas charts out a couple weeks ago and put them together in one box. I don't know if I'll be able to pull myself away from samplers but I really want more homemade ornaments on my tree and some smalls for decor! I especially love the homemade baubles you made for your kids. I would like to do some of those as well 😊
Wonderful video and wonderful start for Christmas in July❤️ I’m disappointed that you didn’t include favorite Nativity in your 12 picks For those of us not on Instagram, would it be possible to provide a list of other Flosstubers who are participating so that we can see their picks? Thank you so much for all you do for the cross stitch community! Enjoy your Christmas stitching!
Thank you for tuning in. That’s a great idea and as I learn about other floss tors doing this, I will definitely make a list of them. And nativity scene was on my list and maybe we’ll do that this winter… There’s so many options out there for favourite patterns. Happy stitching 🧵 🪡
You have such a wonderful idea. I want to get my hands on the Victoria Sampler tree and stitch it with you. I would love to do a new gingerbread piece each year…they are so fantastic! I am knee deep in making videos for the 12 Days of Christmas Stockings but hope to participate here too. Thank you for starting it on my birthday. 🦉🎅🏼🎄⛄️🧵
I love your idea!😊 I’m not sure that I’ve understood how it’ll work, but I’m going to see again this video. As for now, this hashtag will be on instagram and it’s going to start at 8th of July and for each other day for 12 days we’ll use it to post our picks for each theme. Is that right? Beautiful chosen designs. Some of them are also mine picks.😊 In my country people usually stitch tablecloths, bed sheets and other stuff to use in the house. I don’t now anyone that stitches dimensions kits or Mirabilia or something similar. That’s why I feel so lucky that I can speak English and so I can connect thru flosstube with other stitchers that are interested to the same patterns as I am. Thank you again for your videos and your efforts!💕🌺🌷❤️
You are correct - you understand this perfectly :) I also like functional stitching too but there is something about stitching a beautiful Christmas piece just for decoration. Thanks for tuning in this morning :)
Ok, this is absolutely funny. Pretty much every pattern you picked except for 3 was a pattern that I picked or one that I have on my wishlist to stitch! This whole episode was me picking a pattern and then you saying the pattern I picked. Lol FYI: R&P (the Christmas Tree one) are Italian.
@@FibersandFlossCanada I started The Sugarplum Village last year, so I plan to work on it. I would also like to Start the Jim Shore 12 Days of Christmas. I don’t have the other patterns, so they are on my wishlist especially the R&P Tree, The Christmas in the City and the Dimensions Santa.
Hi Arica. The nutcracker prompt brought to mind another Canadian designer and again she is from our Guild and has a shop in Winnipeg - Needlepoint Place. She has a website so you can shop online. She has a Nutcracker Ballet series of small individual characters from the ballet which she hand paints on canvas. These are small kits with the painted design on the canvas and all the floss including metallic threads needed. There are no instructions or directions so you can do any stitch you want - cross stitch or other types of embroidery stitches. The colour painted is the one you use from the floss pack. That is something I have and would do if I had the time to participate. I will watch all the videos though.
Thank you for tuning in and for your comment :) heavens no that would give me anxiety! I have 2 new starts for July if I can finish 2 of my WIPs first….
@@FibersandFlossCanada that would have been like a MAYnia but in July. So, will the gingerbread be the first start of you finish the other two? And I always love to tune in too.☺️
That's a very nice idea, well if what I understood correctly! So, what I understood is that when you'll post those prompts one by one, and the pattern you'd suggest, lets say, for each one of them, we'll also suggest the pattern we like for the specific prompt! For example, which one is the best Christmas village pattern in our opinion etc? Is that correct? Thanks for putting the effort to di always something new for us 😀 Looking forward to the stitcher's 12 days of Christmas and your new video 😍🎄🎅🧵🪡 P.S. I hope it's OK if we like the same patterns with someone else because some of the patterns you chose are really of the best ones 😊
You are correct! And they can be the same or different, it will be fun to see some of the older designs be shared too! I’m looking forward to seeing your choices :)
Arica, I love this idea! I have an Instagram account, on which I’ve never made any posts, but may create another just for posting stitching related items as I really want to participate in this! I’m going to try to pick patterns from my stash, but may have to go to my wish list for a few. I just ran across my copy of the folded Star ornaments, which I immediately downloaded last Christmas when you showed yours. I was planning to message you to see if you might be interested in creating a tutorial? Hope you will consider.
YAY that sounds fun Karen! You know, part of me really wants to curate a winter box of 4 different style ornaments with tutorials - i think it could be really fun, and a lot of work, but worth the fun maybe??
Hi there. I don’t do Facebook or Instagram. How can I participate in the 12 days of Christmas, too? I would also like to post my favorite pieces and finishes. Thank you!
You two come up with the most creative ideas for us stitching addicts! Thank you! Sooooo fun‼️
You are so welcome! It can be challenging to come up with ideas, so I’m happy to hear this one interests you :)
Owl forest nutcracker is the best ❤ I was dying to buy it last winter. Maybe the time has come for it 😂
Oh you should! Me too!! Maybe we could do a SAL for it if there isn’t one yet, it looks like a quick fun design :)
Oh my goodness - those Victoria Sampler village pieces are 😍😍
Right ! Some of us are thinking to make the gingerbread tree a Sal this winter
Oh Arica, that was so fabulous!!! I will check out your IG posts! Thanks so much for this!
So much fun to think about what my picks would be for these! You have some beautiful choices for your favorites.
Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing your choices should you participate this July :)
Love this idea Arica - thank you
I hope ppl will enjoy the idea, it could be a lot of fun in the future if we can get the hashtag going :) thanks for tuning in today
What a wonderful idea, thank you so much 😊

How fun!!! I am starting Christmas in July stitching today, doing the December Weigh In from Stitching With the Housewives.
How fun! Thank you for tuning in today and I hope you will share you fav patterns when the prompts start :)
Very creative idea! I don't plan to do any Christmas stitching in July this year... my July theme is birds for some unknown reason!

My fav Santa is Santa’s magic by mirabilia. Stitching him at the moment. Also have at least 17 Santa wips with about 5 more Santa’s kitted up
Thanks for tuning in this morning - yes that’s a beautiful one too! That’s a lot of Santa’s - you must have a beautiful collection!
So cool I will be following your progress stitching Christmas in July You’re so cool I always love it and I have Santa’s midnight ride in progress right now and actually stitched on it today
You do? What a fun stitch :) can I ask, what are you stitching it on - the kit fabric or did you go for a smaller count??
@@FibersandFlossCanada the kit fabric ♥️ I wouldn’t go smaller they ask for 3 strand tent stitch on the whole slay
WOW....looking forward for sure. Well, for me the favourite is of course everything Nora/Mira....lol. Thanks for all you do. Will put that date on my calendar. I am not on Instagram so hopefully you can do Facebook as well.
