The favorite thing I stitched was the Hummingbird Sampler for camp. My dad’s nickname is “hummer” and we symbolize that with hummingbirds. And, Cecilia Turner talks about how she thinks of her mom when she sees hummingbirds…so i personalized it for my mom and dad. It’s the first time that I made a piece in memory of someone. I just love seeing it, remembering my mom and as a reminder to call my dad 😂
My favorite thing I stitched on in 2023 is I started My Sister's Samplers Isabella Keen in memory of my Mom who passed away in April. The date on the sampler momth and day is one day short of her birth month and day, so I'm changing the sampler to Mom's birthday month and day! Ashley
Thank you for doing floss-tube! I always learn so much from you. My favorite cross stitch in 2023 is a stocking I made for my first granddaughter who was born on my 60th birthday.
My favorite thing is to watch Flosstube while there is a winter storm outside! My favorite stitched piece this year was making an ostrich ornament for my granddaughter. I am also a quilter and this past year I've made quite a few lap quilts for donation. Great feeling to complete a project and send it on to a worthy cause. Happy stitching everyone and stay safe!!
Happy New Year Sherri! I just got back to cross stitching in 2023, and my first stretch was Heart in Hand's Valentine Tiny Town.I was too nervous to stitch on the called for fabric never thinking I could work on a small count. Well, here I am a year later and almost ready to take the dive to 40! Never underestimate the "calling" God has for you and many other Floss Tubers.. my beautiful husband was diagnosed with dementia this year and you can imagine all that goes with that. I am a scrapbook/ junk journaler, but funny how God leads you to the river. I cant carry around all my paper supplies to doctor appointments, therapies and such- but having a stitch in my hands just sort of puts a pillow on top of the worry and nerves. I watched you during his last appointment and all of a sudden he was walking out of the office, and the time had passed- that is a gift money can not buy. So, I just want you to know I so believe in earth angels, special people handpicked by God to help others get through loss, tragedy, and brokenness. People who help the time go by, and give a respite from worry .You are one of those earth angels who keep some smiling, planning future stitches and just to keep moving. God bless you!
Your sweet comment really touched me - thank you for your thoughtful words. I'm so sorry you are on this dementia journey, but I know you must bring so much comfort to your husband as you both face this with courage and grace. Hugs to you. ❤
The favorite thing I stitched on in 2023 was the Prairie Schooler’s Prairie Woods leaflet. It was a project my mother started years ago. She passed away a few years ago and I’m trying to finish as many of her WIPs as I can. This was one of them and I’m so proud of finishing them. I still need to fully finish them but the stitching is all done. Of course my favorite part of the project was picking up on the row of stitching where she left off. ❤
My favorite finish from 2023 was Teresa Kogut’s Newcastle Bouquet. There is a LOT of stitching, but it turned out beautifully, and I got it framed for my dining room before year end. So happy to look at it each day! Thank you so much for everything you share with us. I’ve learned so much about our wonderful hobby, and how to make it even more enjoyable . Carol in TX
Love, love, love your videos. My favorite thing I stitched in 2023 was my reintroduction to cross stitching FQS beginner tutorial stitch. So glad I reunited with this hobby.
My Favorite thing about winter is more stitching time. Activities slow down and staying home more helps the productivity. Another great video. Your stitchy boxes have inspired me. I need to get busy collecting accessories.
My favorite project from 2023 was a charity project from fat quarter shop and right this minute it's being quilted by a long armor and I got a compliment that I'd become a pro quilt piecer which made my day ❤😊
My FAVORITE part of this viewing was at the end of the show when you showed new patterns was when you showed the pattern "Falling Snow". I have been working all evening prepping my fabric for this project . I hope to be ready to start stitching it in a couple days. Thank you for a very enjoyable evening watching your show.
Sherry, I have to say you are my favorite flosstuber. I enjoy seeing what you make and I learn a lot from you. Thanks so much for taking your time to inspire us.
Thank you for another entertaining flosstubes showing you beautiful projects. As I looked back on the projects I stitched during 2023, I would say that JBW designs patterns were some of my favorite. Wishing you a happy and healthy 2024.
Thank you, you are very organized. An honest list with the projects that specifically make me happy are the ones I work on every day, twenty minutes or one strand of floss on a piece.❤
Always glad to see the notification for your floss tube 🤩 You bring such beautiful stitching to share and wonderful ideas for 2024 stitching !! I think one of my favorite 2023 stitches was Blackbird’s Long and Winding Road Thank you Sherri for all you bring to our stitching world 🥰
One of my favorite projects I stitched in 2023 was a lighthouse scene contained within a maple leaf. It was from a Russian company called OBEH which I bought prior to the Russian War in Ukraine. While I stitched I prayed for peace. As always thanks for your hard work & inspiration.
My favorite project this past year was a sampler about enjoying your children while they are little 😂 I stitched for both my daughter and my son, as they both have several children under the age of six. It was tough to stitch one right after the other, the exact same pattern, but it was for a good cause, and they both loved them. They are now hanging in their homes.
Always one of my favorite flosstube, you share your creativity so freely! Loved the words you added in the blackbird design. Thank you for the inspiration ❤
You put so much time and effort into your videos and your newsletters! Great ideas! Your jewelry box makeovers are fabulous! So much eye candy!!! Thanks for all that you do!!! ✂️🧵❤
My favorite stitchy related thing that happened to me in 2023 was becoming part of the Salem Area Stitching group (SAS) (Salem, Oregon). We generally meet once a week and the ladies that are part of the group are so thoughtful, caring, funny, stitchy knowledgeable and a joy to be with.
I just recently got back into cross-stitching after 15 years. Stumbled across floss tube Channel and I am obsessed with stitching. My favorite stitch so far was farmhouse Christmas the little red barn. It’s actually my only finish in 23. I just started a couple months ago lol. Thank you for your floss tube channel. I truly enjoyed watching you.
Sheri, you always show such wonderful things on your channel. Whether it's your own personal stitching, what's new in the shop, or an item you found that you think we'd like, you are a wonderful source of inspiration 😊. My favorite thing I stitched on in 2023 was the series of monthly Quakers by From the Heart Needleart by Wendy. It was a bit of work, but I got them all finished, and they were a joy to stitch. Be well!
Hi Sherrie… always a great video, my word of the year is Elimination! I want to eliminate negative people in my life that basically just drain my energy and impact my health in a negative way, So far it has enhanced my life in a wonderful way! I enjoy my positive upbeat friends and and happiness has fulfilled my heart! People don’t realize how negativity and mean spirited people effect your life! I am stitching GH1857 and love it so much! I enjoy your stitchy happiness and wishing you a Happy New Year!
My favorite thing I'm stitching on is called Miss Charlotte. I love all your suggestions-scheduling in my project/stache. I truly love what your doing adding your family to projects, telling a little of there life story. I want to try making a travel case/box it's so useful & pretty. Oh! & the massager is wonderful for muscles especially upper shoulders, neck. Love the project bags beautiful. Thankyou for all your flosstubes videos they are wonderful. I'm still new at crossstitch & your videos just keeps me going, inspired. ❤😊
My favorite stitch was a tiny scissor fob from The Scarlett House, American Homestead - it turned out great! Love your flosstube, especially your creative solutions to cross stitch “problems” of WIPs, planning, etc. Thanks so much! ❤️
My favorite stitch of 2023 was/is The Fox by Cottage Garden Samplings. Both my husband and daughter asked me to stitch this for them. They haven't asked before for any specific design. I am happily stitching it twice. 😊
I honestly don't know how you accomplish all that you do! Your work is beautiful! I really like how you have been incorporating color into single color charts. It just adds a special effect to the piece. I have a fondness for forest animals and the giveaway bag is gorgeous! One of my favorite projects I did for 2023 was a free chart by Stone Street Stitchworks called "Winter Village". I framed it and used it as part of my Christmas decor this year. Happy stitching from West Virginia! 😊
on that Alpine piece, don't change the shape! add 4 triangular motifs to make the square. You could just continue that blue border on each axis to meet at 90 degrees. Then you could do an offset fill with a triangle shape of the cloud color or something subtle? Alternatively you could keep the piece as stitched and add little wooden triangle shapes like they were buttons on each corner. Or you could stitch a triangle or something. If you know of the history of the land you occupy, you could take a motif from that tribe... so many possibilities.
My favorite thing I stitched last year was First I Drink the Coffee. I stitched it for my neighbor and changed a few of the colors. Thanks for asking. It was fun to reflect on my work.
My favorite stitch of 2023 is one I am still working on. I am doing the courage quaker sampler by praiseworthy stitches. Iam doing it in honor of my mother who we lost Dec 12, 2022 to breast cancer. I started this piece Dec 12, 2023, one year to the day my mom passed. I adore your floss tube. I am excited to join you for winter camp.
Enjoyed all of your amazing stitching, and seeing your framed finishes. My favorite project that I stitched in 2023 was "Rex" a German Shepherd, a depiction of my son's pet. Stitched in honor of my Beloved "Andre's" Birthday. Looking forward to joining your winter camp. ❤😊
My favorite stitch from 2023 was the M&A 1853 sampler by NWP. I plan to mount it on a wooden spool. I was interested in hearing about your grandmother who loved to paint. You should do some reading about Maud Lewis who is known as the Grandma Moses of Canada. Many of her paintings have been adapted to rug hooking designs. In addition to her typical paintings, she lived most of her adult life in a tiny little house. To bring beauty to her tough life, she painted most any surface she could in her tiny home. Her story is truly one of resilience. You’d find it inspiring, I’m sure.
🕰Today was windy and a perfect floss tube day and your floss tube was amazing! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your floss tube videos. I like your way of organizing your year in the Book of Days. My favorite project I worked on in 2023 is Secret Sky by Modern Folk Embroidery. Thank you thank you!
I always learn so much and get so much inspiration from watching your Flosstube. I think my favorite stitches from 2023 were the ones I did for my daughter. I made her a small for preschool graduation and a really fun Christmas ornament. I love stitching for her, and she loves getting pieces from me.
You always have the most interesting, organizing ideas. I just love watching your videos and adopting some of those ideas. Organizing is one of my favorite things to do.
My favorite stitch in 2023 was Cardinal Basket by Imaginating. I have already completed two of their baskets and I am working on two more of them. Thanks for the info you have given us on choosing warm and cool colors. Irt has been very helpful. Enjoy your stitching time.
Another wonderful video Sherry! I love how you weave your family stories in along with showing your projects. My Favorite Stitchy project I worked on in 2023 was Erica Michaels Quilting A-Bee-Cs. Hoping to get that finished this winter. Have a great week! Looking forward to your next flosstube when you’ll share about color. 💞
My favorite stitch from 2023 was Fraktur Flowers by Kathy Barrick. My husband and I are big campers! Some ideas for your camping themed box: mini clothes pins, acorns or pinecones, flannel fabric, maybe a tiny backpack.
My favorite stitch last year was Winter's majesty by Anchor. It was really difficult and slow to stitch but it was a gift to a very special person in my life.
My favorite project for 2023 was the Christmas Sampler II by Cottage Gardens Samplings. I stitched this for my mother since her word of the year was HOPE.
Sherri...lady you are so business smart, creative, and one lady I would love to meet!! They say put it out in the universe...so I have!! Thank you soon much for taking your time to give our community a video filled with tips and then some WIP progress...whew!!! How do you do it all?? HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2024!!
My favorite stitch of 2023 was Peace on Earth by Cottage Garden Samplings. The reason it was a favorite was my sister stitched this along with me and we started it on Christmas day together. Thanks for the great video as always.
My favourite stitch for 2023 was "Kind & Gentle Woodland Sampler" by Artful Offerings. I stitched it in the colour conversion made by Country Sampler Shop, and I loved it so much I stitched it twice and gave as a gift for a dear friend. I appreciate the work you put into these flosstubes, love listening to your ideas! Happy Stitching Year!
I always enjoy your floss tubes! I didn’t have a favorite finish last year; I’ve just enjoyed getting back into stitching after many years away from it because of work and family obligations. Thank you for sharing!
Lol, ornaments, that’s how I began my stitching adventures over 46 years ago!! I was a very poor brand new teacher, and it was a very cheap way to decorate my Christmas tree! Not so cheap anymore!!! I had too many favorite (s), which explains why I never get a lot finished every year!
Such a wonderful video - as always. So many beautiful things in your stitching bags too. My favorite thing I stitched in 2023 was a little piece commemorating my sister-in-law's US Citizenship in May. I used Threadworks Primitives "Patriotic Pear" and substituted her initials and the year for a couple of the motifs. It was made into a standing easel with navy blue fireworks fabric. She now lives in Turkey, so it was a good piece to travel in her luggage. Oh...and Carol55 is a stitchy friend of mine. Her tree and ornament garland are so so beautiful in person! Be well.
I’m an amateur miniaturist and I have dollhouses which I am working on so I know about being fascinated about miniatures. I am getting back into cross stitch after a long time and am amazed about all the new things in the hobby
Thank you for the time you take to make each of your videos so interesting! One of my very favorite stitches for 2023 was one from Plum Street called Yellow Polka Dot Bikeenie-but all of her Dachshund series patterns are too cute for words!
Thank you so much for another wonderful video. My favorite thing I stitched in 2023 was actually a simple one called "Do You See What I See" by Primitive Stitchin' (Shelly Auen). It was meaningful to me because, during all the busyness of the Christmas season, this small project helped me focus on the real reason for Christmas.
What a wonderful video, Sheri. I always look forward to them. The favorite thing I stitched was welcome to the north pole by primrose cottage. Thanks for all you do for our community!! 🌺🌷❤️💕
Really interesting to see your plans for 2024. One of my favourite things to do is to dream of all the craft items I would like to make in the months ahead. 🇬🇧
Everything I stitched in 2023 was my favorite at the time I was working on it! 😆 But one of the prettiest charts I’ve ever done is Double Dutch by Sampler Cove. Thanks as always for your great flosstubes.
My favorite thing that I stitched was Flying Lessons by Silver Creek Samplers. It was a Halloween gift for this year for my granddaughter!! I really enjoyed this video. I picked my word for 2024. Peace .... For the world, for my family and for me!!! Thank you Sheri for this video!!
My favorite project stitched in 2023 was Feast of Friendship by Blackbird designs. It was so fun to work on during the Fall months. I chose to change “Feast of Friendship” at he bottom to “Abundant Blessings”. I love how it turned out!
The favorite thing I stitched was the Hummingbird Sampler for camp. My dad’s nickname is “hummer” and we symbolize that with hummingbirds. And, Cecilia Turner talks about how she thinks of her mom when she sees hummingbirds…so i personalized it for my mom and dad. It’s the first time that I made a piece in memory of someone.

How wonderful to have pieces that both you and your mom have worked on. That's really special!
I had several stitches that I enjoyed working on this year, but I think every time I stitch a Prairie Schooler Santa, it becomes my new favorite!
There is just something so timeless about Prairie Schoolers!
@@ColoradoCrossStitcher Absolutely!
Yes! I love those Santas. I do enjoy any Prairie Schooler.
My favorite finish from 2023 was Teresa Kogut’s Newcastle Bouquet. There is a LOT of stitching, but it turned out beautifully, and I got it framed for my dining room before year end. So happy to look at it each day!

My favorite stitch of 2023 was The Lord's Prayer. It was my first attempt at 40 count and I loved working on it.
You are my favorite floss tuber.
Thank you so much, Liz - I'm honored!
My opnion on Alpine: Simplify! Make it square but keep the deer if you can. If not, customize to frame square. That's my ten cents! Ashley
Thank you, you are very organized. An honest list with the projects that specifically make me happy are the ones I work on every day, twenty minutes or one strand of floss on a piece.❤

My favorite cross stitch that I did in 2023 was Treasure island. It was so out of what I normally do which made it fun.
I always learn so much and get so much inspiration from watching your Flosstube. I think my favorite stitches from 2023 were the ones I did for my daughter. I made her a small for preschool graduation and a really fun Christmas ornament. I love stitching for her, and she loves getting pieces from me.
That's wonderful that she loves and appreciates them. Those are the best kinds of people to stitch for!
You always have the most interesting, organizing ideas. I just love watching your videos and adopting some of those ideas. Organizing is one of my favorite things to do.
Thank you, Kathryn!
My favorite stitch in 2023 was Cardinal Basket by Imaginating. I have already completed two of their baskets and I am working on two more of them. Thanks for the info you have given us on choosing warm and cool colors. Irt has been very helpful. Enjoy your stitching time.
Another wonderful video Sherry! I love how you weave your family stories in along with showing your projects. My Favorite Stitchy project I worked on in 2023 was Erica Michaels Quilting A-Bee-Cs. Hoping to get that finished this winter. Have a great week! Looking forward to your next flosstube when you’ll share about color. 💞
My favorite stitch from 2023 was Fraktur Flowers by Kathy Barrick. My husband and I are big campers! Some ideas for your camping themed box: mini clothes pins, acorns or pinecones, flannel fabric, maybe a tiny backpack.
I love all those ideas - thank you!
My favorite stitch last year was Winter's majesty by Anchor. It was really difficult and slow to stitch but it was a gift to a very special person in my life.
Thank you for such an enjoyable flosstube!
The Favorite thing I stitched this year is Mary Ann Copp, just a beautiful sampler!
Have a healthy 2024!
My favorite project for 2023 was the Christmas Sampler II by Cottage Gardens Samplings. I stitched this for my mother since her word of the year was HOPE.
My favorite stitch was My Heart Can Rest. I love getting fresh ideas from you.

You're so funny - way to put that out there! I hope we get to meet, too. 🙂🙂
The things you show are beautiful. You are one of my favorite flosstubers to watch. I love the initial idea for your Christmas Quaker.
Thank you so much!
My favorite thing I stitched in 2023 was plum street samplers Christmas traditions nativity ❤
I always enjoy every minute of your videos! Inspiration overload! Thanks for sharing your time and stitching!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 🙂
One of my favorite things about this flosstube is your stories about your family history.I wish you a happy New Year 🎉
My favorite stitch of 2023 was Peace on Earth by Cottage Garden Samplings. The reason it was a favorite was my sister stitched this along with me and we started it on Christmas day together. Thanks for the great video as always.
My favourite stitch for 2023 was "Kind & Gentle Woodland Sampler" by Artful Offerings. I stitched it in the colour conversion made by Country Sampler Shop, and I loved it so much I stitched it twice and gave as a gift for a dear friend.
I appreciate the work you put into these flosstubes, love listening to your ideas!
Happy Stitching Year!
Lucky friend!!
I always enjoy your floss tubes! I didn’t have a favorite finish last year; I’ve just enjoyed getting back into stitching after many years away from it because of work and family obligations. Thank you for sharing!
Really nice to hang out with you. Quaker stitching is my favorite right now. Love all the motifs and it feels like a mini finish to stitch them.
So true about each motif being a mini finish. And they are all so beautiful!
Love your floss tube videos. Always so many great ideas and inspiration!! Thank you!! Happy stitching!!
♥️🪡🧵
Thank you for watching, Brenda!
My favorite thing I stitched was a peacock sampler I found in an older cross stitch magazine.
I love seeing and hearing about your family samplers.
Lol, ornaments, that’s how I began my stitching adventures over 46 years ago!! I was a very poor brand new teacher, and it was a very cheap way to decorate my Christmas tree! Not so cheap anymore!!! I had too many favorite (s), which explains why I never get a lot finished every year!
My favorite thing this year of 2023 was my FFO of Winter Rose Manor🌹
Such a wonderful video - as always. So many beautiful things in your stitching bags too. My favorite thing I stitched in 2023 was a little piece commemorating my sister-in-law's US Citizenship in May. I used Threadworks Primitives "Patriotic Pear" and substituted her initials and the year for a couple of the motifs. It was made into a standing easel with navy blue fireworks fabric. She now lives in Turkey, so it was a good piece to travel in her luggage. Oh...and Carol55 is a stitchy friend of mine. Her tree and ornament garland are so so beautiful in person! Be well.
What a special gift for your friend!
I’m an amateur miniaturist and I have dollhouses which I am working on so I know about being fascinated about miniatures. I am getting back into cross stitch after a long time and am amazed about all the new things in the hobby
Oh, that's so fun! Do you have an instagram account where you show your work? I'd love to see!
Not at the moment but I am thinking about it
Thank you for the time you take to make each of your videos so interesting! One of my very favorite stitches for 2023 was one from Plum Street called Yellow Polka Dot Bikeenie-but all of her Dachshund series patterns are too cute for words!
Thank you so much for another wonderful video. My favorite thing I stitched in 2023 was actually a simple one called "Do You See What I See" by Primitive Stitchin' (Shelly Auen). It was meaningful to me because, during all the busyness of the Christmas season, this small project helped me focus on the real reason for Christmas.
That sounds like a wonderful project. I will have to look that up!
I've been watching a lot of floss Tube and so far, you're my favorite!
That's so nice of you to say!
What a wonderful video, Sheri. I always look forward to them. The favorite thing I stitched was welcome to the north pole by primrose cottage. Thanks for all you do for our community!! 🌺🌷❤️💕
Thank you, Kimberly!
My favorite stitched piece in 2023 was The Noel Sampler. Happy New Year and Happy Stitching!
Really interesting to see your plans for 2024. One of my favourite things to do is to dream of all the craft items I would like to make in the months ahead. 🇬🇧
My favorite thing I stitched in 2023 is Sally Cratis by The Wishing Thorn. I loved the quirky trees and that it’s not a traditional looking sampler.
Everything I stitched in 2023 was my favorite at the time I was working on it! 😆 But one of the prettiest charts I’ve ever done is Double Dutch by Sampler Cove. Thanks as always for your great flosstubes.
My favorite thing would be to have a nice project bag.
My favorite thing that I stitched was Flying Lessons by Silver Creek Samplers. It was a Halloween gift for this year for my granddaughter!! I really enjoyed this video. I picked my word for 2024. Peace .... For the world, for my family and for me!!! Thank you Sheri for this video!!
Wishing you much Peace in 2024, Brenda!
Your Alpine piece would keep the whimsy look with the points😉
Thanks for a fun flosstube, my favorite stitch in ‘23 was Jane Harris.
My favorite thing I ffo’d in 2023 was America by Blackbird. It looks so pretty on my patriotic wall.
My favorite project stitched in 2023 was Feast of Friendship by Blackbird designs. It was so fun to work on during the Fall months. I chose to change “Feast of Friendship” at he bottom to “Abundant Blessings”. I love how it turned out!
