My name is Chloe, I am 16 years old and I stitch with my Nana, we watch you ladies together like today. (This is Nana’s UA-cam site, just in case you are wondering. 😊) My Nana and I have learned to cross stitch together and we sit and spend one afternoon a month and talk and stitch. (Drives my grandpa crazy). I am in high school and am very busy with school, cheerleading and softball so sometimes I do not get the chance to stitch as much as I would like to but my favorite way to stitch, other than next to Nana is to put on my headphones and listen to a book. I really enjoy watching both of you and really love Charlie, he is so CUTE!!!!!. Grandpa says I have an old soul because I really like to crochet and cross stitch but would like to see some ideas based around us younger stitchers, if there is such a thing, but would like to do a piece with little things that relate to things I have done, places I have been etc. Deb I know you have your piece you are working on, but where did the idea come from and how did you plan it out. Thank You ladies for all your hard work and the fun you put into your program. Chloe
I am both so happy for you, Chloe, and jealous of your closeness with your Nana. My Nana lived in the UP while I grew up in South Texas. I'm 50, so you know I grew up pre video-calls, internet, and all that. You, or you and your Nana, should start a UA-cam channel. You could bring in the younger folk and y'all could share ideas based on the teenage interests.
Oh Chloe! So wonderful that you stitch with your Nana! And so very special for BOTH OF YOU! Lucky Nana that you devote some time from your busy life to stitching with Nana. And so happy to hear of your”old soul” learning to crochet and cross stitch. It is heartwarming to us oldies (70s).. I learned from my grandma and dream of one day maybe teaching one of my little grands (only 2 and 5 now)
I love this! I spent so much time with my Nana as well. When I was in my 20's, I had Wednesdays off of work and would pick her up every week. We would do crafts together (mostly crocheting), go shopping, play cards or other games, and so much more. Those days are some of my most fondest memories and I think of that time often. Yesterday would have been her 104th birthday. She's been gone 27 years but I still miss her.
This warmed my heart! I was very very close to my great grandmother. What I wouldn't give to sit next to her stitching and visiting. I lost her 8 years ago. I am 44 and get teased and criticized for my "old lady personality " but if you ask me the world needs more stitchers . More crafters and women who love to cook, clean and care for their families. So you just keep enjoying your stitching and love on your Nana as much as you can!
Satsuma Street has bright fun stitches. Nimue has cool designs for all ages. Shannon Christine has great stitches, too, that might be fun for the younger stitchers. Lola Crow has SALs that are awesome....Haunted Library and others, that you might enjoy.
What a bundle! Love to see all you do.
Oh my, how I love a good organizer. 😊
👍I am 42 and watching your channel.
You two are such a joy! Love your floss tubes from beginning to end. Cute little baskets. I have been working to organize my supplies. I get side tracked just enjoying my little stash.❤

Thank you for helping me on my stitching journey! 🥰
I love machine embroidery too. The organizer is beautiful. Thank you ladies for a great video. I have been doing all kinds of hand work for years. Needlepoint, cross stitch, quilting, knitting. My mom taught all three of us girls when we were young

I am within spitting distance of being 71. Iove your flosstubes, I haven't missed 1 since I discovered it. I have so many buddles of backing fabric that I would love the organizer, that way it would all be together in one neat bundle.
Hi! I am 37 and I have been waiting your channel since 2020. So funny. Love reading the comments. ❤❤❤
The organizer is fabulous and blue. Win-win!
Fun times and love visiting with you both. Blessings and happy stitching.
You guys are a bundle of joy to watch!!
What fun and interesting stuff you get up to. I’m a few years over the 45 but if you tube had been around in the 80s I would have watched your channel. 😁😏🤭. I can’t choose between the organiser and the bundle!!! What beautiful work your neighbour does. Looking forward to your next visit. 💐🌻
Beautiful finishes as always. It was my pleasure to send you something from my Costa Rica, the flower in Debb´s needle minder is the National Flower "La Guaria Morada" and "Pura Vida" is a slang we use for everything that means pure life. Magnifiers are great help so we do not hurt our eyes. I use the Daylight Halo 5D and it is great. The mini baskets are so cute and perfect for finishes.
Don’t I wish I was 45 🤣🤣. Beautiful stitching and great tips. Bundle. Organizer.
Always enjoy watching your Flosstube and hearing your stories. 🙂 Bundle 🎉
The LHN bundle is so precious. Congratulations on your subscriber announcement.
The two of you are a bundle of fun.
I love you ladies and that is a beautiful organizer and a great bundle love little house needlework

Well, I am in my late 50’s and I enjoy your channel and videos. From some of the comments I have read, You Tube’s data is skewed. I enjoy all the information and beautiful stitching you share. The embroidered Organizer is cute. And the Little House Bundle of patterns would be fun to stitch.
Haven't been 45 in a while, but LOVE your videos.
I love the organizer. Cute way to display your bundle. Beautiful stitching and finishes. I am over 45.. lol
I like to think of myself as an organizer but sometimes I'm just a bundle of disorganization! Congratulations 👏🎉 on your years on Flosstube!!!
Love watching, and love the BUNDLE!!
THANKS FOR SHARING ❤️
Love your videos! You girls are just a delightful bundle of joy to me😘
I love watching you two. Love the organizer and bundle😁❤️
I so love watching you ladies! Unfortunately I can not thumbs up on being under 45 years old ☹️. I will thumbs up on a wonderful floss tube 👍. I really liked the thread organizer you showed. I will be looking that one up. That was a really nice bundle you showed too. Till next time happy stitching.
Organizer bundle is the way to be. Love to watch you videos ladies.
I enjoyed your video today ladies. Hope you’re having nice weather. There we had terrible thunderstorms last night I have a friend who lives in Colorado and they got snow earlier this week. I guess she had to bundle up when she left the house. Happy Stitching! Olivia
I'm 36 and I'm from Mexico. I enjoy so much watching you, I've learned a lot from both of you.
Hello ladies!!! I have a story that involves the word for the little house patterns. Many years a go I had gone to a relatives house. it was around the festive season and there were a few cards on display, I picked up this one which looked really pretty and as turned it around on the back it reads "To cuddly bundle all my love Lex" I can't look at her even now without thinking about it! They would be a pleasure to win! :)
Hi guys..im 31 and i love to watch your channel for years!! ❤
Bundle! I am one of those stitchers who does not live anywhere close to an LNS so this would be so wonderful😊. Love you, ladies!
I just turned 33 and never miss an episode! ❤️
I love to use an organizer and a bundle. Wishing I was 45 or younger 😂😂. Always enjoy your videos.
Deb, Wendy and I were at Mike's picking up some of my pieces this past Wednesday, July 31st . We saw your montage and it is Gorgeous!!!!! Congratulations on a beautiful stitch.
Hello Ladies, That looks like an awesome bundle you have there. Always look forward to your videos.
Organizer, bundle, Thanks for sharing your wonderful video and stitching. ❤
The bundle organizer is amazing...thank for sharing...always fun watch you and see what both of you are up to...please take care and be safe
Hi from NZ. How handy that Flosstube book would be... I watched a previous floss tube of yours and loved listening to you both. At the time though I was on another computer not signed into my account so couldn't hit the subscribe button and stupidity forgot to write your names down!!! I've been searching for you both for months! The uppercase "MAGNIFY NEEDLEWORK" did the trick - always looking for tips. OH to be under 45 again when my eyesight was 20/20 😃 All subscribed now so I won't miss another episode. Thank you 🧡
What a beautiful organizer and some wonderful bundle of Little House patterns!
Over 45, but I love you two and my 28 yr old son even loves listening to you two when he comes home from work and he Phelps me cook dinner while I listen to my floss tubes! He doesn’t stitch, but he knows that your my peeps!!! He loves your voices!!
Love the fun videos you both do. You always make me laugh. Congratulations on your beautiful finishes. # Bundle
I’m under 45 and watch you all the time !! Got behind during Covid but I spent since last year catching up and finally did :) so even last year it should’ve said at least 1 person under 40 watches you lol
Always enjoy your videos. Love the simplicity of Little House and would enjoy the bundle
Wish I was way under 45 but from the looks at my bundle of stash I do need an organizer to keep track of it all. Another great finish on All Creatures. Love the idea of stitching the tree too. Great video ladies!
Over 45, lol, but I want to thank you for the helpful lighting and measuring tips. Love both your finishes.
Love you ladies, I've been watching since you started. ......organizer......bundle
Hi ladies! So nice to see you both! Wow! Great finishes ladies! Love your organizer tips! Thank you for sharing! Happy Stitching!

Lovely to see you both today and have a catch up with you and all your stitchy adventures. I’m not 45 or younger but I will say I am if you would like me to. Take care, love you both. 👵 xx

You are just a bundle of joy. You are my favorite floss tube. I have been a subscriber for years. I would love to get the patterns. Keep doing what your doing.

We know those statistics are hog wash 😂 I love that organizer. Wishing you happy stitching!
Had floss tube existed when I was 45 I would have subscribed🙂🌷
👍 Hi Deb and Liz, I'm under 45....just!! And have been watching you for a while now all the way from Manchester in the UK. My daughter also watched this episode, and she is 8. She recognises you both now as she asked if this was Country Stitchers 😊 that bundle looks like it would be perfect, I'm having surgery in 2 weeks, and I'm currently looking for patterns to stitch to keep me occupied!! I have All Creatures Great & Small, I need to kit it up and I was going to get country mocha to stitch it on!! Lovely video, you kept me company whilst I stitched my Quaker sampler!! See you next video, have a lovely week!!xxx
You make laugh. I so enjoy your videos. I love to bundle videos to watch😊
I love the Bundle. A super video as always, you are so much fun to watch and so inspiring! A stitchy hug to you both from Port Elizabeth in South Africa!
Deb, your A Hearts Remembered is beautiful! What a pretty organizer! My two passions in life are organizing and stitching, so what could be better than organizing your stitching supplies!
Deb, Your thread holder is for Bernina sewing machine bobbins! ❤Love it that you can use it for Vickie Clayton’s silk floss! Great idea lady! I have several! Thank you sooo much for this idea!!👍🏻👍🏻🥰
Hi ladies! Congrats on your beautiful finishes! Happy Stitching!
So happy to see another video. Organizer. Bundle. By the way I’m 71. If you put that backwards it
Would be 17. Lol

I am 39 and never miss a video! I have had the bell clicked too, so UA-cam must be mistaken 😁 I love seeing all of the young stitchers chiming in on the comments! They are out there! ❤

32! I started cross stitching in 2021. Everything I have learned so far has been from Flosstube. Most of my knowledge has come from the older generation on here. I do watch the flosstubers who are around my age but if I want to learn I’ll usually go to a channel like yours 😊
I am also not under 45... more like almost 72. I have been stitching for many years but since I have been watching you two, my illness has gotten more intense:)))) Would love to stitch the bundle of Little House patterns. Thanks for the opportunity.
I love gadgets, especially ones that can organize my stitching projects. Love your videos.:)😊
What a lovely idea 0f joining different charts. Got my wheels turning. My huba
I’m under 45 and love your videos. Bundle
Congratulations on starting your 7th year on Flosstube, I have enjoyed watching you ladies for several years now. I have enjoyed reading some of the comments of the under 45 stitchers. I haven't seen 45 in years, I'm 67! I think UA-cam is definitely wrong about the age groups watching. Beautiful finishes today.
I am under 45! I am 35. I am fairly new to your channel and floss tube in general.
Have been watching for 4 years now. Bundle. I would love to stitch these designs 1/1 on 28 or 32 count ❤. Love how you two strive to help teach new stitchers. I myself have been stitching for 43 years now… yikes!
Sorry I’m over 60, the organiser would be great to take a bundle of my stash on holiday. Love your show as always.😮
