Loved your video! This is my first visit here. I'm just getting back to cross stitching after a very long hiatus. At 71 years old I never thought I would be starting over but cross stitching is a lot more fun now!! Right now I'm working on the Little House Needleworks collection Hometown Holiday making it a whole long street of buildings. It is so much fun. I also finished Fall on the Farm by LHN as one collection and framed it. I like your idea of doing a half stitch as an outline and going back to fill in. I love learning from these flosstubes as I'm self taught. Looking forward to going back and binge watching your previous videos.
Hi Beth - and welcome! I'm glad you found me. There are so many of us who have come back to stitching after years of not doing it, just like you. You're right - things are so fun in the cross stitching world nowadays! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Excellent video Sheri!! 🤩 Framed pieces … truly inspiring. After my Mom passed in October of 2018 & my Stepdad in 2019 I found my collection of charts growing dramatically till I realized that’s how I was handling my grief. I now have my own on-line in house shop 😉 Thanks for always sharing from the heart ♥️ see ya next time happy stitching 🤗🪡
I Love all your finishes! 💖 I have a small collection of scissors fobs! I'm also on the hunt for fobs that are, or have sunflowers in them! I Love this month's bag, my very favorite a Sunflower Bag! Happy Stitching!
I had to stop watching and place an order for your new snowman pattern for Winter Camp! This will be my new COLLECTION 😁 I'm looking forward to this pattern! It's adorable!!
So glad your feeling better and poor Oliver is over his horrific scare. He sure looks Mellow. Your frame choices just enhance your Gorgeous stitched pieces. Cute smalls too. That is great advice on stitching a border- hope I remember. Inspiring FT.
So happy to see you on You Tube showing us your cross-stitch projects. I also love your framed beveled glass picture on the wall above your credenza in the background. I love to do cross stitch patterns, but I used to do stained glass and beveled glass projects. I love to create and make things. I give most of my cross-stitch projects to people for gifts. I love the little CREATE cross stitch pillow you showed. I'm going to have to find that pattern and stitch it. Your you tube channel is such a joy to watch, Love your kitty too. Sorry he got his tail caught in your office chair. Hope he wasn't too traumatized. I had a little dog that got his id tag caught in a floor vent. Poor little guy was terrified until I could get his collar off and free him. I am so glad I was home. So now I don't leave a collar on my pets when I'm away from home. I loved to see you cuddle your kitty. Lucky cat to have you for him to love.
Oh my gosh - same thing happened to our dog years ago! She loved to lay on the vents when the air conditioning was running. One day we heard her yelping and howling, and she had pulled the whole vent up in her panic (and then panicked that something was hanging from her collar.) She was wary of vents after that. 😅
I have a collection of farm related patterns. My dad was an Iowa farmer and so is my husband, so farm animal patterns bring back wonderful memories for me.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your flosstubes!!! You can always tell that you put a lot of time and planning into your channel! Thank you for that ! Collection is a word close to my heart! In my sewing room I have 2! BUTTONS and lately everything TOMATO pincushions.
Oliver laying in your arms reminds me of my cat, Binx. He’s super lovey and mellow also. Poor Oliver must have been terrified! I’m glad that you’re feeling better! Seeing all of your finishes was just so much fun! And it made me pull my “This is the day” back out to work on! I’m making it a goal to get that finished this year. Collections is kind of a hard one, I’m not sure that I fall into a particular category. I like to do a lot of seasonal stitching. I will say I have a good collection of Stitching the housewives patterns and I’m starting to collect more Teresa Kogut’s patterns. I love love love your word of the year pillows I think I’m going to join you in that. I usually pray about mine and go with what the Lord is leading me towards what He’s trying to remind me so this year my word is hope. The world is so crazy these days that I feel the remainder of keeping my hope in Him. Hope you have a blessed week!
I enjoyed seeing your framed pieces and small finishes. Thank you for explaining your process for framing a piece of needlework. I have a large collection of stitched Adam and Eve samplers.
Hello, so glad your feeling better. It is amazing how our bodies can heal. You have accomplished a lot and every piece is so tastefully finished. Well Done! In 2022, I stitched a collection of small to medium ornaments and I had my first cross stitch tree. It was fun and will continue in 2023. I just choose a pattern that brings me joy and that I can finish within a month.
Sorry to hear that you have been poorly. Loved seeing all your framed projects. It is amazing how many pieces you have completed. Not being a cross stitcher means that I do not have a stitch collection. However I do have an extensive collection of knitting patterns waiting in the wings ready for upcoming projects. 🇬🇧
Wow you have been busy!! Another great video. I have a collection of snowmen and angels. Also have lots of snowmen cross stitch patterns waiting to be done. 😊 Thanks for all the information and ideas that you share! Happy New Year
Finally....I was going through withdrawals waiting on your first video of 2023. In fact, I spent a good bit of time in the last two weeks binge watching all your previous videos. Loved them and helped me with my much needed Sheri fix. Having just returned in 2022 to the world of cross-stitching after a long lapse (80s/90s avid stitcher), I am amazed and inspired in seeing the way stitching has revolved. The samplers are beautiful and a part of my 2023 goals. However, Blackbird Designs seems to have become a growing collection for me. I am excited to see what this year holds in my stitching world...Book of Days, of course adds to the fun. Thank you so very much for your ideas, inspiration and the sharing of your amazing talent. God bless....
I just finished watching the video about George Müller. Now I want to learn about collect Bristol samplers even more! I have a couple but what a wonderful way to honor his memory and all he did. Truly inspiring. So a collection of Bristol samplers is on the to-do list now.
He was amazing, wasn't he? If you do retreats, you might consider going to the Bristol Weekend at The Attic in AZ (which is usually in June). Great way to learn more about Bristols!
My love of cross stitch, and the beginning of my bird collection on linen was due to recuperating from surgery many years ago. My friend gave me a blank piece of linen,all the necessary threads, and a chart with the bird that started it all. Happiness is….❤
Wow! What a lot of great content! Thank you so much for all you continually share. I loved all your framed pieces and I couldn't agree with you more about how good it is to have a finished piece on the wall to enjoy. Looking forward to Winter Cross Stitch Camp. I haven't yet decided which collection I will add to. Will it be my Scottie collection, Wizard of Oz Collection, my Monthly Series of Cross Stitch collection, my small pillow collection? Looking forward to your next video. Happy Stitching and Finishing! I loved my Christmas Advent Box. It was amazing! And I might just have one of the smalls you gave us be a new Christmas smalls collection! Dottie
Oh wow Sheri thank you so much for sharing all your beautiful finishes and all the information that you give us all. So much great stuff. My collection of patterns are all over the place. I love a lot of designers and if their designs speak to me those are the ones I choose. I love samplers and smalls. I stitch holiday smalls for my dough bowls each month and everyday samplers for my walls.
Besides stitching all the beautiful designers love Kathy Barrick and Plum Street I collect vintage black silhouettes that were stitched in the 1930’s and 40’s and have them hanging on one of my living room walls. This collection looks really beautiful together. Love your channel!
Oh my goodness, friend, I am smack dab in the middle of your video. I HAD to stop and remark, what a STUNNING frame choice and beautiful stitching your Tetelestai piece is. Simply breathtaking with the nail heads and wood frame. Beautiful, beautiful choice. Thank you sincerely for sharing and inspiring. ...now, back to the video! (if I forget to come back, Happy Stitching, your friend, Daleen)
Poor little Oliver! We had a shelter cat for 18 years and there were definitely triggers for him. Loved this video so much. So many great tips! Love the idea of picking a frame and then matching floss, especially for 1 or 2 color pieces. This month I have been working on my collection of snowmen and other winter pieces. It just looks so bare when Christmas goes away 😄
So good to see you again. I miss your videos. Glad is all well with you and the cat.your small cushions are beautiful along with your nativity sampler.the red sampler is amazing. Happy 2023 and enjoy all your stitching
The Quaker Christmas is stunning! I seem to have a collection of stash…😂. I am trying to collect all the blackbird and all the With Thy Needle and Thread. It seems I have a large collection of Teresa Kogut too! I enjoyed what you shared today very much. I’m learning to stitch pieces of charts and give myself some creative room to make it my own. I appreciate the encouragement to do this!
I would like a collection of JBW Designs…I love how all the little icons fit together. I loved seeing your finish of This Is The Day…it’s my Sunday stitch so I was stitching it as you showed it. Glad you are feeling better.
I seem to have a larger collection of Carolyn Manning shooting star patterns than any other type. The patterns are fascinating color studies. Second designer is Long Dog. The sunflower bag is so sweet!
I don't have a real good reason but started a collection of owl patterns. I didn't realize how many until I started planning Wipgo this year and found them all. Ha! Thanks for your showing your lovely finishes. Love from Iowa. ❤
Glad to have you back and sharing. It is a joy to watch you because you keep things moving but have a lot of information and helpful hints. The collection that I am presently working on is "Early Americans."
I have a collection of Snowman, Blackbird Patterns and tomatoes patterns. I really enjoyed seeing all your fully finished cross-stitch they were just beautiful.
Thanks for the tip about outlining in half cross stitches first then going back to complete the stitch as you complete a row. Great idea and love those tidbits that make stitching easier and even more beautiful. I am a new quilter so I am now drawn to cross stitch patterns that include quilt blocks and am starting that as one of my COLLECTIONS. I am currently stitching an adorable pattern where the cow has spots that are Ohio Star blocks. I’ve got a cross stitch pattern of a snowman wearing a quilted coat waiting to be stitched. So, my collection has started.
I have so many collections related to stitching! Prairie Schooler Santas, Blackbird Designs patterns, Modern Folk Embroidery, samplers in general, Quakers. For a new piece, I would love to do another red sampler, as I stitched Annie Bayliss by HATS last year.
So glad your kitty is alright and that you’re alright too. I have a collection of p Buckley moss cross stitch scenes hanging around my house. Now I’m into quakers
Oh wow! Now you’ve got me realizing I have too many collections. I have a collection of Little House Needleworks, Blackbird, samplers, and it goes on and on!
Sheri you always do the most amazing flosstubes! I love the way you cover so many topics and you’re just so interesting. Your framing was beautiful. Loved all of them. I just framed my Winter Rose Manor at Jo Ann’s and was so very pleased. I have a collection of Brenda Gervais patterns. My fav Designer. Take care til next time. 🌺🌷❤️👍
That's so kind - thank you so much, Kimberly! I appreciate you watching. Isn't that Winter Rose Manor such a fun piece? I'm anxious to get mine finished!
I have a collection of Prairie Schooler Santa charts and not just the annual ones. I started buying the single Santa charts the very first year they came out. I kept up with the stitching each year for quite awhile, but am now woefully behind. I now have quite a stack of the booklets and am looking forward to stitching some of the Olde World Santas this year.
So glad to see all of your projects framed! My collection is really a hodgepodge of different pieces I made for my Mom over the years. They are now all on the wall in the room where I stitch. They bring back so many happy memories.
You always have such wonderful pieces and patterns to share...thank you! I have a collection of samplers that I have done as well as many more to stitch! Glad you weathered Covid...I did too after being spared for 3 years.
My collection of bees is a sight to behold. I also have lots of bee decor. Thank you for taking the time to make videos. I’m homebound so y’all are my company.
Sheri, I am so happy that you are feeling better and that Oliver is ok - poor little guy! Your framed pieces and your smalls from 2022 are all gorgeous!! It's so great to see you! Thanks as always and happy stitching!
What a great Video! Love your new coffee mug. My cross stitch collection would be the Prairie Schooler Santa's. I started collecting them back in the 80's. Thanks for sharing all your finishes 💕
I have been collecting all things Blackbird-crossstitch, quilting, fabric! I also have collected several series, Quakers, and samplers! There are soooo many designers I collect. Have you figured out yet that I am a SABLE stitcher?! Alas, that’s half the fun!
Wow, you’ve had a crazy time lately. Glad you and the cat are ok. I too just got over Covid, after all the vaccines and boosters I don’t think I was ever so crazy sick in my life! Glad we are all better. Now I need my stitching, sewing mojo back. I’m from St Louis, currently live just west of StL in rural Mo. So glad I found you, through Missy Timberlake with Two Needles Pulling Thread. I love all your work, really all my favorites!
I'm glad you found me, too! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you're feeling better. I wish having Covid would then give you lifetime immunity from it, don't you?
Thank you for another inspiring episode! It’s good to hear both you and your lovely cat have recuperated. The Winter Camp sounds like fun and I look forward to stitching “Beggar’s Valentine” of the Threadwork Primitives Beggar collection.
Your method of removing one linen thread on all four sides to be used as a guide when framing is brilliant! I am definitely going to try that. I have so many pieces waiting to be framed, hence my word for this year is "finish". I have enough to do a sampler wall that I have been dreaming about for years. All I need to do is "finish" my stitched pieces. I'm so glad you are feeling better.
Such beautiful framed pieces and I love all your little pillows. I've amassed quite the collection of Blackbird Designs patterns and books and now wanting to work on a collection of tomato and sewing themed patterns. Thank you so much for another informative, enjoyable, and wonderful video.
I love all the news you share with each video. I’ve never heard of your ember mug but will surely check it out! Your Quaker Christmas piece has always been a favorite but framed-masterpiece! Every stitched piece is drool-worthy. Thanks so much for all the joy you bring. I will visit your shop this summer!!!
I have a collection of samplers and Brenda Gervais patterns. I have different sized samplers by different designers. I specifically like reproductions. I am always on the lookout for any by girls named Sara - spelled without an h on the end. I always enjoy your FlossTubes. Have a great January. Kara
Thank you for that tip on working big fill-in areas! I actually had thread in hand, about to start filling in a large area on a project, and this is a great idea to outline with just one leg. I'm so excited for Winter Camp and I just kitted up the perfect project for it! Oh my gosh, I gasp every time you show your Quaker Dwelling and the frame is perfect for it. That's a masterpiece! I have a pretty varied taste in patterns, but I seem to love every single pattern from Plum Street Samplers. Lots of folks say "collect all the Blackbirds" (also great patterns) but I think I'm going to start a collection of all the Plum Streets. I'm sorry you had a rough start to the year, and so glad you're feeling better!
This year I’m working on patterns with angels which will be a collection. I found I had a lot of patterns with angels in my stash and decided to focus on getting these done as I love angels and would like to add some stitched ones to my other angels. Love your finish of Quaker Christmas 2. That pattern went on my list of patterns that I want. Thanks for sharing!
My collection of stitches often include scripture. My next stitch is going to be This is the Day. I ordered it from your shop. I loved yours. I love your videos and your projects and tips. ❤
Love your video! My son's cat bite me. I ended up with cellulite in my hand. Antibiotics etc. She was scared and I know better to try and grab a cat that is howling. Glad all is well. I have all my pieces on my walls. I have a spare room that most of my seasonal pieces are. I also have a bee and red sampler wall. I always finish everything I stitch. I have 350 framed pieces on my walks. And I really couldn't tell you the smalls. I love what I call ABC samplers. Not reproduction ones but ones with abc's on them. But stitching counted cross stitch since 1975. I worked for Ben Franklin for many years and my pieces were framed by them. I love seeing them every day. I love every thing you showed. Great job!
I'm going to put that 1/2 stitch outline into practice! Thanks for the tip, Sheri! Congratulations on all of your FFOs...they're wonderful! I fell off the band wagon with the fall sampler stitch-a-long but hope to join in for Feb camp. :) I wanted to comment on your earlier video about your brother buying your family home but at the time I just didn't know how to respond. I was so moved by the story! So incredibly touching and how it was revealed to your mom, wow! It was amazing!!!
What beautiful finishes. Such a joy to see. I have a collection of Paula Vaughan. I am in the process of collecting The Blue Flower designs. I love her designs. I probably will pick one of hers to do.
Love your videos ! Glad your kitty is ok , poor thing ! I love keeping my cross stitching information in my journal. I keep it for myself and was surprised at how many I did last year ! Amazing !
So glad to see you back! It’s been a rough cold and flu season for so many! Your framing is absolutely beautiful!! I attempt my own framing with old frames and enjoy that process. I was previously inspired by you to always have a red sampler going. So that is what I am now starting to collect. I am almost done with my second one, this a collection has started. I do also have a snow globe collection. I’m excited to start the winter camp! Thanks Sheri for all the inspiration!
Thank you for the wonderful calendar ideas. I used your suggestion for the additional pages when I was putting together mine. My pattern collection is fall themed patterns - especially acorns.
Beautiful pieces. I love seeing all the framed work. My favorite was the house quaker on the gold fabric. I pulled This Is The Day back out while watching. Yours is so pretty and I just need to lay those bricks.
I'm so glad I stumbled across your flosstube video (which led me to several other wonderful ones). And I'm so happy that Fort Collins has a cross stitch store! I've only lived here for eight years and love the Loopy Ewe but don't do much knitting so didn't frequent it, although I took a few classes. Somehow in the kerfuffle of the past few years I missed the news of your store. I plan to visit it soon and also join the Winter Camp. I think the most prevalent designer in my pattern collection currently is Claudia from Dutch Treat. I fell in love with her table toppers when I lived in California. But I'll have to find something smaller for my camp project...probably a non-Christmas holiday project.
Your Quaker Dwelling framed finish is stunning! I love everything about it. What a scary thing that happened to your precious kitty, yikes! So sorry to hear that. For a collection, I guess I have several. I love the look of one over one, so I have collected a lot of charts that are charted with that in mind.
I have a collection of Christmas Ornament magazines and my goal this year is to stitch and finish Christmas ornaments. So glad I found your Flosstube. Cheers!
My collection is of quilting themed cross stitch charts. Your framing is great. I will definitely go back check out the reading suggestions. Thank you.
Loved your video! This is my first visit here. I'm just getting back to cross stitching after a very long hiatus. At 71 years old I never thought I would be starting over but cross stitching is a lot more fun now!!

I Love all your finishes! 💖 I have a small collection of scissors fobs! I'm also on the hunt for fobs that are, or have sunflowers in them! I Love this month's bag, my very favorite a Sunflower Bag! Happy Stitching!
I remember Camp Loopy! I even have a little Loopy on my shelf in my craft room and a Loopy mug. I have a collection of gnomes.
I had to stop watching and place an order for your new snowman pattern for Winter Camp! This will be my new COLLECTION 😁 I'm looking forward to this pattern! It's adorable!!
Thanks for your order, and I hope you have fun with the snowmen!
So glad your feeling better and poor Oliver is over his horrific scare. He sure looks Mellow. Your frame choices just enhance your Gorgeous stitched pieces. Cute smalls too. That is great advice on stitching a border- hope I remember. Inspiring FT.

A few of the things I love for my cross stitch collection are: pumpkins and crows! I can't get enough of them! I was so nice to see you today!!
I like crows, too - primitive looking. And they are so smart in real life!
I have a collection of farm related patterns. My dad was an Iowa farmer and so is my husband, so farm animal patterns bring back wonderful memories for me.
That sounds like a great idea for you!

Half stitch outline - genius!
I have a collection of Lizzie Kate and also design works kits. I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks for watching, Elaine!
I enjoyed seeing your framed pieces and small finishes. Thank you for explaining your process for framing a piece of needlework. I have a large collection of stitched Adam and Eve samplers.
Oh, I love Adam and Eve samplers. I probably need to shop for more!
Hello, so glad your feeling better. It is amazing how our bodies can heal. You have accomplished a lot and every piece is so tastefully finished. Well Done!

Sherry, you give everyone your great ideas for your calenders. Everyone is doing the same as you. You are a trend setter!!
My love of cross stitch, and the beginning of my bird collection on linen was due to recuperating from surgery many years ago. My friend gave me a blank piece of linen,all the necessary threads, and a chart with the bird that started it all. Happiness is….❤
That was a good friend!
@@ColoradoCrossStitcher Would you believe, we still are? Met in high school, because we were dating brothers.
thank YOU to you and bonnie for getting my sweet Merry Old Soul pattern plus my sweet red (buckeye scarlet red threads). HEART YOU BOTH!
Thanks for your order, Jennifer!

Thank you, Daleen! I really love how that one turned out. ❤✝
What a great tip for using half stitch when outlining. I’m adding that to my XS Toolbox. Thank you !!
Poor little Oliver! We had a shelter cat for 18 years and there were definitely triggers for him. Loved this video so much. So many great tips! Love the idea of picking a frame and then matching floss, especially for 1 or 2 color pieces. This month I have been working on my collection of snowmen and other winter pieces. It just looks so bare when Christmas goes away 😄
It really does look empty when Christmas is put away. I'm with you - wanting to beef up my winter options!
February sounds perfect to start of a collection of strawberries!
So good to see you again. I miss your videos. Glad is all well with you and the cat.your small cushions are beautiful along with your nativity sampler.the red sampler is amazing. Happy 2023 and enjoy all your stitching
Thank you so much!
The Quaker Christmas is stunning! I seem to have a collection of stash…😂. I am trying to collect all the blackbird and all the With Thy Needle and Thread. It seems I have a large collection of Teresa Kogut too!
I enjoyed what you shared today very much. I’m learning to stitch pieces of charts and give myself some creative room to make it my own. I appreciate the encouragement to do this!
That's so fun that you're branching out to come up with your own way of stitching patterns. I love it!
I would like a collection of JBW Designs…I love how all the little icons fit together. I loved seeing your finish of This Is The Day…it’s my Sunday stitch so I was stitching it as you showed it. Glad you are feeling better.
I seem to have a larger collection of Carolyn Manning shooting star patterns than any other type. The patterns are fascinating color studies. Second designer is Long Dog. The sunflower bag is so sweet!
I love your flosstube videos! Yours are the only videos I watch on a regular basis. I have a collection of Santa Claus charts.
I'm so glad that you watch, Gail. Thank you so much!
I don't have a real good reason but started a collection of owl patterns. I didn't realize how many until I started planning Wipgo this year and found them all. Ha! Thanks for your showing your lovely finishes. Love from Iowa. ❤
I have collected bird patterns, I was shocked at how many I have. They make me happy.
Owls are cool - that's a fun collection!
It is so easy for me to have a Collection of craft items.
Glad to have you back and sharing. It is a joy to watch you because you keep things moving but have a lot of information and helpful hints. The collection that I am presently working on is "Early Americans."
Thank you Martha!
You are always so inspirational, Sheri, thank you! I am starting a collection of Prairie Schooler charts, will start my first one for Winter Camp.
Thank you, Lisa!
Poor kitty was scared. I was working on a collection of ornaments for my granddaughter. I’ll give it to her when she moves out on her own. ❤
That's a lovely idea for your granddaughter!
Great tip on outlining! 👍
Thank you, Kaynella!
I have a collection of Snowman, Blackbird Patterns and tomatoes patterns. I really enjoyed seeing all your fully finished cross-stitch they were just beautiful.
Thank you Georgie!
I loved you show of all your collections from last year!
Thanks for the tip about outlining in half cross stitches first then going back to complete the stitch as you complete a row. Great idea and love those tidbits that make stitching easier and even more beautiful. I am a new quilter so I am now drawn to cross stitch patterns that include quilt blocks and am starting that as one of my COLLECTIONS. I am currently stitching an adorable pattern where the cow has spots that are Ohio Star blocks. I’ve got a cross stitch pattern of a snowman wearing a quilted coat waiting to be stitched. So, my collection has started.
Sounds like a fun collection!
I have so many collections related to stitching! Prairie Schooler Santas, Blackbird Designs patterns, Modern Folk Embroidery, samplers in general, Quakers. For a new piece, I would love to do another red sampler, as I stitched Annie Bayliss by HATS last year.
As I was going through my patterns, I discovered I have a collection of freebies. I'm going to stitch one for winter camp.
So glad your kitty is alright and that you’re alright too. I have a collection of p Buckley moss cross stitch scenes hanging around my house. Now I’m into quakers
Not sure what to do to get my prize I don’t use tele gram
Oh wow! Now you’ve got me realizing I have too many collections. I have a collection of Little House Needleworks, Blackbird, samplers, and it goes on and on!
Oh goodness - there's no such thing as too many collections. ;-)
I'm continuing to collect all the Praireschooler Santas and all the Sheep Virtues :)
My collection is snowman patterns.
So glad your back!
Pulling a thread to help with finishing-brilliant! Why didn’t I think of that?! I would tediously stitch a running stitch 🤦♀️ Thanks for the tip!
Well, that works, too. But pulling a thread goes a little faster!
#hands on design collection
Sheri you always do the most amazing flosstubes! I love the way you cover so many topics and you’re just so interesting. Your framing was beautiful. Loved all of them. I just framed my Winter Rose Manor at Jo Ann’s and was so very pleased. I have a collection of Brenda Gervais patterns. My fav Designer. Take care til next time. 🌺🌷❤️👍
That's so kind - thank you so much, Kimberly! I appreciate you watching. Isn't that Winter Rose Manor such a fun piece? I'm anxious to get mine finished!
Great tip on half stitch outlining. I've noticed it looks different when I outline in full cross.
I have a collection of Prairie Schooler Santa charts and not just the annual ones. I started buying the single Santa charts the very first year they came out. I kept up with the stitching each year for quite awhile, but am now woefully behind. I now have quite a stack of the booklets and am looking forward to stitching some of the Olde World Santas this year.
I love the red and green sampler you stitched!! My collection theme for patterns seems to be mostly of wildlife.
So glad to see all of your projects framed! My collection is really a hodgepodge of different pieces I made for my Mom over the years. They are now all on the wall in the room where I stitch. They bring back so many happy memories.
I'm so glad you have them up on a wall where you can enjoy them. ❤
You always have such wonderful pieces and patterns to share...thank you! I have a collection of samplers that I have done as well as many more to stitch! Glad you weathered Covid...I did too after being spared for 3 years.
I guess everyone gets it eventually, right? Darn!
My collection of bees is a sight to behold. I also have lots of bee decor. Thank you for taking the time to make videos. I’m homebound so y’all are my company.
Nice to spend time with you, Betty!
Sheri, I am so happy that you are feeling better and that Oliver is ok - poor little guy! Your framed pieces and your smalls from 2022 are all gorgeous!! It's so great to see you! Thanks as always and happy stitching!
Thank you, Wanda!
What a great Video! Love your new coffee mug. My cross stitch collection would be the Prairie Schooler Santa's. I started collecting them back in the 80's. Thanks for sharing all your finishes 💕
That's a fun collection. I keep thinking I want to do them all, too!
I have been collecting all things Blackbird-crossstitch, quilting, fabric! I also have collected several series, Quakers, and samplers! There are soooo many designers I collect. Have you figured out yet that I am a SABLE stitcher?! Alas, that’s half the fun!
Indeed it is!
GREAT idea on the half stitch outline. That’s a trick I plan to steal for myself!
Wow, you’ve had a crazy time lately. Glad you and the cat are ok. I too just got over Covid, after all the vaccines and boosters I don’t think I was ever so crazy sick in my life! Glad we are all better. Now I need my stitching, sewing mojo back. I’m from St Louis, currently live just west of StL in rural Mo. So glad I found you, through Missy Timberlake with Two Needles Pulling Thread. I love all your work, really all my favorites!
I'm glad you found me, too! Thanks for watching. I'm glad you're feeling better. I wish having Covid would then give you lifetime immunity from it, don't you?
Thank you for another inspiring episode! It’s good to hear both you and your lovely cat have recuperated. The Winter Camp sounds like fun and I look forward to stitching “Beggar’s Valentine” of the Threadwork Primitives Beggar collection.
My collection is beachy I love turquoise and pink. So flamingos fish and everything beachy catches my eye.
Your method of removing one linen thread on all four sides to be used as a guide when framing is brilliant! I am definitely going to try that. I have so many pieces waiting to be framed, hence my word for this year is "finish". I have enough to do a sampler wall that I have been dreaming about for years. All I need to do is "finish" my stitched pieces. I'm so glad you are feeling better.
I would love to see a picture of your Sampler Wall when you get it done!!
@@ColoradoCrossStitcher I will definitely post a picture!
Such beautiful framed pieces and I love all your little pillows. I've amassed quite the collection of Blackbird Designs patterns and books and now wanting to work on a collection of tomato and sewing themed patterns. Thank you so much for another informative, enjoyable, and wonderful video.
Thanks for watching, Lorraine!
You have quite a collection of fabric bags for your floss tubers! Love your videos! Thank you...
Debbra at JoyfulStitchingStore on Etsy makes them and donates them to me to give away. She is the best!
I love all the news you share with each video. I’ve never heard of your ember mug but will surely check it out! Your Quaker Christmas piece has always been a favorite but framed-masterpiece! Every stitched piece is drool-worthy. Thanks so much for all the joy you bring. I will visit your shop this summer!!!
Thank you so much, Jane. And we look forward to seeing you this summer!
I have a collection of samplers and Brenda Gervais patterns. I have different sized samplers by different designers. I specifically like reproductions. I am always on the lookout for any by girls named Sara - spelled without an h on the end. I always enjoy your FlossTubes. Have a great January.
Kara
That's a fun thing to look for - Sara Samplers!
I have several collections but I’m focusing on my Quirky Quakers using WIPGO this year!
Thank you for that tip on working big fill-in areas! I actually had thread in hand, about to start filling in a large area on a project, and this is a great idea to outline with just one leg. I'm so excited for Winter Camp and I just kitted up the perfect project for it! Oh my gosh, I gasp every time you show your Quaker Dwelling and the frame is perfect for it. That's a masterpiece! I have a pretty varied taste in patterns, but I seem to love every single pattern from Plum Street Samplers. Lots of folks say "collect all the Blackbirds" (also great patterns) but I think I'm going to start a collection of all the Plum Streets.
I'm sorry you had a rough start to the year, and so glad you're feeling better!
I love Plum Street patterns, too. Paulette has a fun design sense and there are so many that I want to do!
I love the bag with sunflower. Collection
This year I’m working on patterns with angels which will be a collection. I found I had a lot of patterns with angels in my stash and decided to focus on getting these done as I love angels and would like to add some stitched ones to my other angels. Love your finish of Quaker Christmas 2. That pattern went on my list of patterns that I want. Thanks for sharing!
My collection of stitches often include scripture. My next stitch is going to be This is the Day. I ordered it from your shop. I loved yours. I love your videos and your projects and tips. ❤
I hope you love stitching that one up. I really enjoyed watching the colors come together, as it's so cheerful looking!
I ❤ the Winter Camp idea! By adding to a collection it makes the options wide open yet specific to the stitcher. Awesome thought!
Thank you, Amy! Also, thank you for your Instagram message this morning. Hopefully that is all taken care of now. I appreciate the heads up!
Love your video! My son's cat bite me. I ended up with cellulite in my hand. Antibiotics etc. She was scared and I know better to try and grab a cat that is howling. Glad all is well. I have all my pieces on my walls. I have a spare room that most of my seasonal pieces are. I also have a bee and red sampler wall. I always finish everything I stitch. I have 350 framed pieces on my walks. And I really couldn't tell you the smalls. I love what I call ABC samplers. Not reproduction ones but ones with abc's on them. But stitching counted cross stitch since 1975. I worked for Ben Franklin for many years and my pieces were framed by them. I love seeing them every day. I love every thing you showed. Great job!
Oh my goodness, Darleen - you must have the best house!! I love that you have so many framed pieces!
Awww darling Oliver. What a beautiful, beautiful boy. I'm so glad he has a wonderful home and Mommy and Daddy. i would have lost my marbles, too!
Well, honestly I probably would have as well. 😬
I started my Amish cross stitch collection. Not to many but sufficient to call it a collection. I’m also starting a lavender and lace collection.
This year I had my book of days spiral bound and added pages and floss color charts. I am loving keeping track of things now. Thanks for the ideas
Great idea to add in the color charts!
I'm going to put that 1/2 stitch outline into practice! Thanks for the tip, Sheri! Congratulations on all of your FFOs...they're wonderful! I fell off the band wagon with the fall sampler stitch-a-long but hope to join in for Feb camp. :) I wanted to comment on your earlier video about your brother buying your family home but at the time I just didn't know how to respond. I was so moved by the story! So incredibly touching and how it was revealed to your mom, wow! It was amazing!!!
Aww - thank you. It was a really fun pepper-upper for the whole family, and we love that he was able to buy it!
I have a collection of stitched Christmas ornaments. My stitching friend Kathy and I have exchanged ornaments for more than 20 years! Mary
Love this!! How wonderful!
That's so wonderful!
I love your favorites. You got me inspired to do some of them.Thank You for sharing.
Wow! so many beautiful pieces that you have finished and framed! Always love your videos!
Thank you, Susan!
What beautiful finishes. Such a joy to see. I have a collection of Paula Vaughan. I am in the process of collecting The Blue Flower designs. I love her designs. I probably will pick one of hers to do.
Love your videos ! Glad your kitty is ok , poor thing ! I love keeping my cross stitching information in my journal. I keep it for myself and was surprised at how many I did last year ! Amazing !
It's nice to look back on all that you did, isn't it? Calendars and journals are great for that!
So glad to see you back! It’s been a rough cold and flu season for so many! Your framing is absolutely beautiful!! I attempt my own framing with old frames and enjoy that process. I was previously inspired by you to always have a red sampler going. So that is what I am now starting to collect. I am almost done with my second one, this a collection has started. I do also have a snow globe collection. I’m excited to start the winter camp! Thanks Sheri for all the inspiration!
A snow globe collection is fun!
Thank you for the wonderful calendar ideas. I used your suggestion for the additional pages when I was putting together mine. My pattern collection is fall themed patterns - especially acorns.
Beautiful pieces. I love seeing all the framed work. My favorite was the house quaker on the gold fabric. I pulled This Is The Day back out while watching. Yours is so pretty and I just need to lay those bricks.
The bricklaying takes a bit of time, but so worth it!
When I restarted xstitch again after years ago, I unpacked some old patterns and I have a big collection of Cross Eyed Cricket.
I seem to have a nice collection of project bags going on here. I just find them to be a fun way to store my wip projects
I'm so glad I stumbled across your flosstube video (which led me to several other wonderful ones). And I'm so happy that Fort Collins has a cross stitch store! I've only lived here for eight years and love the Loopy Ewe but don't do much knitting so didn't frequent it, although I took a few classes. Somehow in the kerfuffle of the past few years I missed the news of your store. I plan to visit it soon and also join the Winter Camp. I think the most prevalent designer in my pattern collection currently is Claudia from Dutch Treat. I fell in love with her table toppers when I lived in California. But I'll have to find something smaller for my camp project...probably a non-Christmas holiday project.
Looking forward to having you pop by sometime, Nancy!
I have a collection of monthly patterns of all kinds! Too many to ever do. I love your flosstube and your framing is beautifully done.
Thank you, Chris!
I find my collection full of tomato patterns. I’m also a huge Stacy Nash fan. Thank you for your time and talents.
I have a collection of Prairie Schooler Santas. I have been going back and doing some from years ago. So glad you are back and feeling better!
Thank you, Helga!
Your Quaker Dwelling framed finish is stunning! I love everything about it. What a scary thing that happened to your precious kitty, yikes! So sorry to hear that. For a collection, I guess I have several. I love the look of one over one, so I have collected a lot of charts that are charted with that in mind.
Thank you, Elizabeth!
I have a collection of Christmas Ornament magazines and my goal this year is to stitch and finish Christmas ornaments. So glad I found your Flosstube. Cheers!
I'm so glad you found me, too!
My collection is of quilting themed cross stitch charts. Your framing is great. I will definitely go back check out the reading suggestions. Thank you.
I have a collection of tea themed charts to go on my kitchen wall by my tea cart.
