    Enjoyed your floss tube. Your quilt turned out really pretty. I actually did that pattern myself when I was a new quilter and found that it was a nice beginner quilt. Thanks for sharing your stitching spot. It’s kind of neat to see how everybody does their stitching.

    Hi Kim, I saw my mom yesterday and asked her about matrimonial squares, and she said she thinks she's heard them called that but that she never did. Great job on your stitching. Your ornaments are so cute. Love your quilt, Sunflowers are one of my favourite flowers, I stitch a lot of them. I stitch at a table, too. I find it helps my neck and back. I have a tiny room that I've turned into my stitching room.

    And I envy your stitching spot!! I'm still trying to find my comfortable space; for right now, I stare at a blank white wall, when not watching FlossTube videos.
    I look forward to future videos and progress updates on your WIPs, etc. Take care and God Bless.

I only have so much wall space and you can only give so much stuff away!! Your finishes are great and inspire me on how to do some finishing. This was the first video of yours that I watched, so now I get to go watch the other three you have posted!! I look forward to seeing more of your videos and stitching!!

    What fabulous view from your stitchy spot! I tend to move all over the place to stitch but truthfully, my kitchen has the best natural light...but the fridge makes it too tempting to over snack, so I tend to stitch where it is darker with lots of artificial light. In the summer that is totally different as we spend half the week at our cottage which has an entire wall of windows and double patio doors, so the natural light is fantastic! Early morning stitching there is the best before we head out on the boat for afternoons on the boaters' beach 🪡

    Hi Kim. I am not on Instagram because of arthritis in my fingers so texting and such on the phone is not the best thing and I work full time so don't have time for Facebook - when I retire I intend to get on that. Wish there was another way of communicating without writing extra long comments - like this one 🤣Always love your stitching journey - brings back memories of when I was starting out. I also do other styles of embroidery besides cross stitch.

    Love your projects and I also love ErinElizabeth Designs. She is amazing designer and I do miss her videos. However, I know she is busy designing more projects for us cross stitchers. I also stitch in my sewing room/granddaughter’s room. I have a L shape desk where I have my antique feather weight sewing machine in which I love to sew with. I have my lamps and my iPod and watch UA-cam videos and stitch in this desk. However, Is not always cross stitch, I knit a lot too. My sewing room is my favorite room because if I am not cross stitching, knitting, I am sewing. I have 2 sewing machines in my sewing room and they are in each sewing table ready for me to sew. Plus a bed for my granddaughter for the weekends and when she is not in school. She claimed this room as her bedroom! Keep up with your hobbies and you will learn more techniques as you keep quilting. Isn’t fun! I made quilts for all my grandchildren and they love them. Happy stitching!
