I should be writing report cards right now but the stitches are calling me! The crowns look absolutely regal! I am currently stitching the Thea nasturtium and the butterfly bush is next. It is the most confetti - ish thing this simple stitcher has done and that can be slow going for me. Congrats on your new school adventure - you can update me at THE RETREAT - my first ever!
Congratulations on being accepted into school...we'll be calling you Dr. Ginger.Gerald in no time. You are going to have such a great time at the Midwest Retreat. I just know it will be so much fun. I ordered some fabric from xJudesign as well. She contacted me right away on color selection and shipped the next day. I'm excited to receive it. Your Crowns And Henry are amazing pieces of work. They will be priceless treasures when finished and framed. Your planned starts are going to be fabulous, especially on the fabrics you have chosen. Keep up the excellent stitching. Have a great summer of needlework.
Congratulations on going for your Doctorate !! The crowns are coming up beautifully and Henry too !! Love the colours of the materials you got. Take care !
Henry is simply fantastic. I loved seeing that you use pillowcases. I do too. Congratulations on your doctorate school acceptance. Best of luck with that . I know there is a lot of work. Thanks for sharing. I do enjoy your videos. Take it easy and have a blast at the retreat!
Congrats on your acceptance to a doctorate program! How exciting. I am waiting for my son to graduate high school before I go back for my doctorate. Henry and Crowns are both looking fantastic! I love the way you pair your pieces with fabric. Very vibrant. I just got some hand dyed fabric in the mail today so am excited to kit up on those.
Congratulations on grad school. Henry is looking awesome along with the crowns. Have fun with the retreat, bring an extension cord for your light at the retreat. happy stitching
Such awesome news on grad school, Gerald! Wishing you lots of good luck and fun with that. You pronounced Sassenheim flawlessly. :-) I've never stitched a Thea Gouverneur piece, but she is a big name here. Hope it will give you many lovely stitching hours.
Congratulations on your plans for going back to school. That is great news! Im sure you will have loads of fun at the retreat! I enjoyed seeing your progress on your wips, and seeing your new haul. Have a great weekend! Enjoy your day off
Congrats on your school plans......very exciting! Your stitching pieces are all coming along beautifully too! I am also going to the retreat and am very much looking forward to meeting you and seeing some of your work first hand.
Hey Gerald - another fantastic video. Your WIPs are coming along just fabulously. I love those planets!! Kudos to you to get that kit - really great exposure for the company - they will get the value of sending it to you! I will see you at the retreat in 5 months! Good luck with your upcoming schooling - that is fantastic! Becky
I am also going to the retreat and look forward to meeting you. I'm far too shy and self-conscious to make flosstube videos but I'm totally addicted to watching everyone else's videos. Hopefully our weather will be beautiful.
Congrats on being accepted into the doctoral program. I have a son who is in the PhD program at Georgia State University so I know what a time commitment it is!! Your Henry the 8th is just amazing. You are right about big pieces, sometimes you have to step back and look at a distance to get the correct perspective.
So much good news!! CONGRATS on the acceptance into your PhD program! And I'm SO glad you're going to a retreat, you will love it! Love all the new fabrics, great video.
Congratulations on your decision and acceptance of going for doctorate degree. I have been eyeing Thea Gouverneurs' America on black aida every time I go to Hobby Lobby for the last few months. Have fun at the retreat.
Wow! Congrats on your acceptance in the doctoral program. That is really major! I'm looking forward to meeting Henry at the retreat. I hope you bring him along but you better lock him up!!! Lol. Crowns looks A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
Hey Gerald ! Another awesome video ! How great is Henry looking ? I just love seeing your progress on him ! Congratulations on the doctrat!! That's awesome news ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 can't wait to see your start on the city scape too ! Happy stitching!
I'm so very excited for you!!! Going back to school for your Doctorate, going to a retreat, fantastic progress on your projects, and a super cool new kit!! We will be cheering for you!!
I'll be attending my first retreat in October too! If I wasn't already committed to the Austin retreat, I would attend the retreat you're going to. Henry and the crowns are looking amazing! Can't wait to see it all framed up.
Hello!! Congratulations on being accepted to grad school!! I love seeing your progress on Crowns of the Kingdom and am still waiting for my fabric so that I can start stitching it for my son. Henry is really coming along...he's just fabulous!! Can not wait for you to start the London piece!! It's going to be great stitched on the black fabric. I've never stitched on black so I'd be interested to know how that works out for you. Thanks so much for sharing and enjoy the rest of your long weekend! Happy Stitching 😊
Gerald that's wonderful news about the acceptance to grad school! My post Masters work is all in Educational Leadership and I enjoyed all those classes. And I'm excited for you about the retreat. I wish I could go to that one but I had already signed up for one in Tennessee two weeks after that. It's going to be great fun too...several Flosstube folks are going to it as well. You got some gorgeous fabric. I'm going to check that link for a piece I'm looking for. The London pattern is beautiful. I look forward to see you stitching that one. Blessings, Marlene
Congratulations on your doctorate program! You are going to be very busy! And I absolutely love that London kit you'll be doing. I've admired that one for a long time, and I've seen a few other of her designs and think they're fantastic. There are alot of European designers that I wish we had more/easier access to. Renato Parolin, Tournicoton, etc. Finally, that green fabric for your mushrooms is fabulous. I really like the first one you got, though, so if you're interested in not using it I'd be happy to buy it off you. Just let me know. Take care and have fun stitching.
So jealous, I wish I could figure out a way to attend that retreat! It will be a great crowd of people. I am loving watching your progress on Henry VIII, he is so vibrant and realistically detailed. And that London skyline against the black background will look fantastic, I cannot wait to see it stitched. Congratulations on going back to school for your doctorate, that will be quite an ambitious undertaking.
Hi~! I don't think I have ever commented on your video's. Loved watching all of it~! Too bad that you're still not in Korea, otherwise we would of had started some sort of stitching retreat here as well. LOL. Anyways, keep up with all the beautiful progress that you have made so far. Can't wait to see the final finish of those crowns [framed].
So many wonderful things going on for you! Congrats on your doctoral program acceptance! I'm so amazed every time I see your progress on Henry. Love that one!
The pronunciation of Sassenheim is correct. I do love the patterns of Thea Gouverneur. I am making one at the moment too. Your crowns look amazing and I do love Henri.
Awesome projects-- really ambitious and lovely. I LOVE your fabric for the crowns of the kingdom piece and stitching is just perfection. Congrats on the doctorate, although I'm catching up and I know you are well into it now. And, flosstube is terrible for me because soon as I saw your Millenium, I had to find one on Ebay and order it, too. *sigh* More stash... Love your channel!
Congratulations on grad school! I just finished the masters so I don't envy you! Although who knows I'll probably end up getting one too...I've already thought about it. I love how crowns is looking and Henry is so lifelike. Totally awesome! I think you'll definitely need some small pieces to work on like the planets when you're back in school. Good luck with the new kit!
Congratulations on being accepted to get your doctorate. It's nice seeing the Millennium one - I haven't seen that one being stitched. I got mine waaaay back when Herrschners was selling them - mine has a little numbered plaque with mu name on it, from ye olden dayes before the century changed from 19 to 20. I hope you'll let us know when you start it, I think it'd be a good reason for me to start mine.
I love your crowns, have since you started stitching them. Boy, is it a lot larger than I thought it would be. What are your plans for it when you finish? Love your fabric for Let it Ring. Great choice. Congratulations on starting hour doctorate this fall. Have a great week.
Lots of great news! and yes when you said 'Sassenheim' it was almost perfect pronunciation :) I was actually looking into flight costs to see if i could join you guys for the retreat, but then i realised the dates are right before a major convention that i have to be at and it's just not going to work out :/. But make sure you guys make lots of video for me to enjoy :) Love that you're doing a Thea Gouverneur piece. I have done some and will gladly share my opinion but i think you need to make up your own mind first :) There are several i still really want to do (like the old map of the netherlands, the achilles relief, the cow, tutanchamun, etc..). And congratulations on getting into grad school! It's hard work but very rewarding :) and maybe the people at your LNS can help you translate that needlepoint pattern you got? happy stitching :)
Congratulations on getting into grad school! I will be looking forward to your progress on the London piece, and hearing your review. There is more than a handful of those kits which I could be tempted by.
Congratulations on being accepted to school. I am very happy for you! Loved seeing your haul. You got some great things. Looking forward to your next video!
Congrats on the doctoral program admission! Your WIPs are fabulous. I finished my oldest WIP last week - begun over 20 years ago! It was a Thea Gouverneur design of Hydrangea Basket. I had lost one of the design pages and contacted the company and they very graciously scanned the missing page and emailed it to me. The kit was from back when they did hand drawn symbols. Is this pattern gridded in blocks of 6 or have they changed to 10? Have to admit that threw me when I first started the stitching. I'm confident you will enjoy stitching London.
Congrats on your acceptance to school! You have really made some great progress on your wips. I'm looking forward to seeing your London project. I have a USA Map kit from Thea Gouverneur that I purchased on Ebay. I'm really looking forward to stitching it but I'm going to swap out the fabric because it came with linen. My eyesight is not what it used to be. Enjoy the long weekend!
I love your work it is very advanced for what I do I am talking about the Henry the VII man I would have a hard time focusing on that one. . . I love seeing everybody's stitches because I have been in love with Cross stitch, needlepoint embroidery for 30 years. . . and I love picking out the patterns that I love and the color of thread and making my own patterns when I was a child I gave lots of my designs to people now I keep them or sell them just a little info for you to know that I am a stitcher too and I love what you do. . take care. Spice
Meant to tell you last video if I forgot, love your inclusion of Geo video and the animals. Thanks for sharing. You seem to stitch a lot on black which I love by the way but I know it can be more difficult. Does your lamp help you see the holes or so you use light fabric below like many do? Would like to know your process with dark fabrics. Thanks, Patty. I agree about starting too many wips. I buy the patterns I like but don't start them. I want to finish Celtic Christmas and then I plan to start Starry Night.
Wow! A bundle of news and all good news. Congrats on acceptance to your doctoral program. You're nearly at the end of Crowns of the Kingdom, it will be fab when finished. Which of those crowns was Henry the VIII's? The London piece looks great in the photo on black fabric. Enjoy your 3 day weekend. When is school over where you are?
Enjoyed the video, even though its an old one. It's when you were enthusiastic about the cross stitch and knitting. but that's ok I haven't worked on anything. trying to get my mojo moving.
Wow Gerald! Congrats on embarking on your quest for your Doctorate in Ed Leadership! That's fantastic news for sure. Also, the retreat sounds like a great plan and I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. That Thea Govourner (sp?) kit is GORGEOUS!! Can't wait to see your work on that! Happy Memorial Day and enjoy your weekend before the final crunch toward graduation and end of school.
And omg your Henry piece!!! I know what you mean about the stitches looking awful. I look at a piece and am like man my stitches are messy. But when it is held away or framed and on the wall, amazing!!! I have to leave comments as I watch the video or I forget everything I want to say!!
Hello Gerald This is the first of your videos I've watched, and I'm going to go back and watch the others. Great job! Love your Crowns - the fabric is gorgeous! Henry VIII is amazing. Such incredible detail. I saw a very enlightening BBC documentary on Henry's health, analyzed using modern medical technology. Very interesting. You've probably answered this before, but what frame are you using for that. I have a Needle Needs frame that is similar, but their waiting time is long. Thanks for sharing your projects. Colleen
So glad you were able to get wheels of color - I learned so much from doing it, and I can say it was my first real counted canvas piece. I'm curios to know - your title of "Big News": was that referring to grad school announcement or the stitching retreat announcement? 😀 which is bigger news in your life? Whatever it is, congratulations on both. 😀
Hello Gerald, I just recently purchased all the planet patterns, including Pluto, plus sun & moon. My first consideration was to stitch all on one piece of fabric; black or very dark blue.. Now second guessing myself thinking they might look better in separate little frames. What are your thoughts?
Gerald, congratulations on your acceptance to the doctorate program!! Since you already have a masters you know how grad school consumes your life(, but I couldn't be happier for you! Getting my MBA was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life and the thing of which I am the most proud. I didn't don't stitch for 2 years- hopefully you'll do better than that! So proud of you!
I should be writing report cards right now but the stitches are calling me! The crowns look absolutely regal! I am currently stitching the Thea nasturtium and the butterfly bush is next.

Another fantastic video thanks for sharing.....where is the frame you keep Henry the VIII in from if I may ask??
I'm a needlepointer, so I can help you with the "translating." It's a total mind reset when switching between the two!
Congratulations on Grad school! What kind of material do you prefer to work with most?
Which video of Crafty Curator talks about framing?
Love🤠
Oh Teresa one reminds of Neverending story!,,
I guess I will meet you at the retreat. I am going not a floss tube just a fan and big stitcher.
Henry is ...wow
Congrats on getting into the doctoral college ... good luck with that!!
Why to bout phd... dr. G !
