Samantha your stitching is absolutely beautiful. You have a lot of great talent and you seem so happy whatever you are stitching. I don’t think I could ever do one. The patterns seem so complicated to me. Enjoy your videos have watched them all. Bless you and take care.
Hello and just subscribed mid-June 2024. I wanted to help out another Canadian creator. Greetings from Chilliwack, BC! I saw you on Arica’s video. I didn’t cross stitch for 20 years before I started quilting.
Hi Samantha, I really enjoyed your video. I stitched on Stargazer for Miramay and I will be stitching on two other Mira's this month! I love the Cottage Garden Fairy...gorgeous on Oaken. Let's enjoy Miramay together, jippi!
I've never stitched a Mira and omg you have enabled me. I ordered one I have adored for a long time. Even if I don't stitch it for a while I have her. Md 38. Oh to die for she is gorgeous. Can't wait for the pattern to arrive on my door step. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you Samantha for the awesome WIP parade of your Mira's. I always love this part of your videos because you put so much effort into give great explanations about each Mira. I'm currently doing 4 Mira's and love every minute of it minus the Kreinik. Your stitching is gorgeous.
Oh Samantha your Mirabilias are absolutely stunning. The Midsummer Night Fairy is exquisite, the transparent wing is something else! Wow! These are my favourite stitches. I’m away now to see if I can buy her straight away. Thank you so much for taking the time to make your Flosstubes. I watch all of yours but don’t always comment. 😊
When I first met you Samantha you were stitching Petal Fairy! You inspired me to explore Mirabilia patterns and I have since done several Miras and Nora Corbett Pixies!
Beautiful work, Samantha! Your Mirabilia collection is to die for. I have not stitched a Mirabilia yet. I bought Stargazer and the embellishment kit for her, thinking of stitching her for my 5 year old grand daughter.
Sam you make me want to stitch a Mira/Nora! I really want to do the reindeer and the sleigh!!! I have them in my wish list on 123 stitch so I let my family know what they can get me 😊😊 I love your stitching!
I have completed several Miras, last being Shakespeare's fairies. You have inspired me to start more(of course multiple choices in my stash). Thank you for the inspiration. Poved the flosstube episode.
Your Mirabilia's are beautiful. I especially love the two fairies you have not framed yet, I am tempted to start one. You mentioned you wash your pieces and hang them to dry, do you wash every project you stitch? Could you please discuss your washing process in an upcoming video? Thank you!
Phenomenal flosstube! Thank you for sharing all your lovely work. I had been indecisive about buying some charts that you showed stitched and I will be ordering them today!
Just want to say that you have inspired me to start my 1st Mirabilia. I was so scared to try one with all the specialty threads and beads. I haven’t gotten to the beads which still makes me abit anxious but you don’t learn without trying. Thanks for all the awesome videos and work you put in. Always inspiring. P.S. I think my Mirabilia designs are multiplying over night cos I have so many now waiting to be started. I really fell hard down this rabbit hole 😅.
I totally understand about emotions and memories being attached to projects, that's how I feel about all my stitchy projects. I am yet to do my first miribillia but I totally love the bliss fairy! She is gorgeous
What a beautiful WIP parade! I am doing my very first Nora Corbett for Mira-May, Santa's Sleigh! It's incredible how well it's charted and how quickly it's stitching up!
This was so inspiring….makes me want to stitch on every Mira that I have! I may need to lay down until the feeling passes because I already have too many wips…😂 Enjoyed your video Samantha. Thank you! ❤ Lori
Oh gosh how did I not know I live in the same city you do! How exciting! This was my first video of yours and I LOVED seeing how much excitement you have about your Mira’s
Samantha, I have not missed a video yet but I loved this one! I wish I had 30 years of stitching ahead of me instead of 30 behind so I could stitch every one of those beautiful Mirabilia designs! They are all gorgeous! I have been working on Enchanted Mermaid off and on for 2 years. I need to finish it this year and get it framed for my daughter. The beads! Eeks… 😊 Thanks for sharing your lovely projects,
Lots of inspiration here - trying to tell myself I need to stick to my plan to get my previous May deadlines done and not finish knitting up a Mira, but I certainly am going to be sure I have it done before Nora November at least!
Samantha! I loved your Mirabilia WIP parade. You are the one that introduced me to Mirabilia patterns. My first one I bought was Petal Fairy, I have not finished her yet and I do want to get the other one that goes with her. I also bought Athena and got her all kitted up when I was in Colorado meeting my new granddaughter in Feb. I also have another one all kitted but I can’t remember the name of the pattern. I think I am going to go get my Petal Fairy and start stitching on her again. I can’t wait for your WIP parade for all of your Nora Corbet. You also got me started on those too. ❤
Beautiful video as always! Mermaid of the pearl has been in my wish list for 2 years now and I’m hoping one day I will find her 💔 my another one in a wish that hard to find is English rose and I follow yours advise and added charts to my cart that I want to stitch because never know if and when they will go out of print 😀
I love Mirabelia and have done quite a few ... have not framed any ... just started the letter "S" by Nora Corbett Ill be stitching 2 for my twin granddaughters Sadie and Sophia ... I believe you have it framed on the shelf behind you ...
Thank you for sharing all your Mirabilias and beautiful finishes. I wish you the best in potentially framing your own. You can do it!!! You do such a great job just clipping your WIPs to a board. We are both stitching Rapunzel. It’s fun because I have the top done while you have a good portion of the girl done! Do you have all the Magnifica beads? I just found 2 packs of 10020!
Thank you so much for another marvellous video. I enjoyed it very much, especially since it's all about Mirabilias, which I love, and I am jealous of your works 😊 I'm now wondering if I should add Rapunzel to my collection! Not that I need more. Anyway, it's a great video. Have a wonderful weekend 😀
Thank you so much for sharing. I love Mirabilia. I have yet to actually start one though I have several patterns. I guess they can feel overwhelming lol.
Thank you for sharing. You obviously went to a lot of trouble. I have not stitched a Mirabillia yet but I have a pattern kitted up. Just need the courage to start.
Thanks for the video. I have Royal Games 2 started, and Tree of Hope kitted up. Currently though I'm working on finishing six wips in May. One finished a few days ago and another should be done by tomorrow. Take care.
Thank you for sharing all your big Mirabilia lifes work, I have been so inspired I bought my first Mirabilia after watching your Flostube. They are just stunning & I have made quite a list if charts to source 😊
Samantha I love your channel. Fellow Canadian here, but living in the states. I appreciate your comment on sharing charts . I would love to share, but not a UA-camr. I am also sad that I can’t find those unicorn charts. I have been taken granted of and lost out on a couple charts due to dishonesty. I wanted Bluebell by Nora Corbett. But never got the promised chart. I am frustrated that UA-camrs share with only each other. I know I am a peon. Thanks for your insight and inspiration.
I have not even finished the video and added a few to my cart. What fun I have stitching Mirabilia as you show your beautiful work. I decided I need to start one I have kitted this morning while I finish your video. Thank you so much for sharing!
Mirabilia should absolutely hire you to head their marketing team. You made every chart absolutely irresistible! I had never thought of stitching one of these designs, but things have been ordered. This is definitely a tribute to your enthusiasm.
Perhaps the beaded sash is an ornamental cummerbund….i had one on my bridesmaid dress for my sister’s wedding. Aha…you understand why I have saved the dragon wings for the final section to stitch. Very beautiful stitching Samantha.
I’m a bit behind in my flosstube watching! Very much enjoyed watching all your lovely Mira’s. I am mainly a Mira/Nora stitching. I’ve done several large pieces and just need to finish the beading on my 29th pixie. I was lucky that I got to go to the first Queen City Retreat last October. Not only did I get to meet Nora but I loved being able to show off all my finished pieces and share them with people who love them as much as I do. With Mira’s/Nora’s I stitch normally in this order: center start, do bottom of dress first, then wings, then face and hair, then backstitching, metallics and then beads. I learned the hard way that the bottom of the dresses are so big. Wings are a usually a bit harder. Too many times I’ve left them to the end and they can take forever!! Seeing all her designs you can see the evolution of her designs. I was particularly struck by Bliss Fairy and how the colors and the sandals are very much like her pond pixies which I have kitted but not started. I too look at my projects and stash items as a memory books. Where I bought a pattern. Who I was with. Where I got inspiration from. I have several Christmas ornaments I did for my kids when they were babies and toddlers and love taking them out every year. Thanks for taking the time to bring all of them out. Most of the ones you have completed, I haven’t so that’s been nice seeing different pieces. Her photos in her patterns NEVER do them justice. ❤
Each and every single one of your Miras looks spectacular! You really do a great job and you really inspire me to stitch one of them. I've started already my first Nora, (I blame you for that too 😜), and now "Petal Fairy" is in my cart to try as a first Mira project in the near feature! Thanks a lot for the very enjoyable episode, looking forward to your next one 🥰🧚🧚♂🧚♀🧵🪡
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m so thrilled to hear you are enjoying your first Nora! Take your time, enjoy each stage and stitch along the way to completion. I’m currently dreaming up the next video and setting things aside to talk about. See you soon 😍 -Samantha
Fun Video! I'm drawn to the mermaids and recently purchased my first 2! Haven't started stitching them yet but they're all kitted up and I've been making them project bags. Cross stitch can certainly be considered several hobbies in one!
Your stitching is so amazing. I love the one with the Owl because that lady has blonde hair and so do I and I also love Snowy White Owl. I wish I could stitch one of these but I can only stitch on aida cloth because my eyes are old now. I have never done beads either. Love seeing all of your stitching. Happy Stitching.
Curse you, Samantha! I promised myself I’d stop with the buying frenzy. No really, I was done. Absolutely done. Petal Fairy arrived on Thursday. I’m stitching it for my fairy loving daughter. It’s perfect. Thank you for another fun episode full of eye candy. 😘
I love your mirabillia stitching! Ifind these designs awesome but more than I can attempt with my aging eye sight . Keep stitch for those of us that enjoy these designs through you!
Enabled! Well, I started my first Nora yesterday. your and aricas flosstube pushed me over the edge from samplers to a fancy pixie. And so far so good. Definitely trust the color process as I had my doubts initially. Question on stitching with two. I see some stitchers stitch one over one on the face to get finer detaiIing. Wondering is that something you do or recommend. Also, since I rarely use two threads, I find myself railroading to get my threads to lay flatter. Curious if you have any suggestions or if it isn’t really an issue. Thanks so much for the inspiration! Your thread art is amazing.
Beautiful collection Samantha, you are an inspiration. Some day I really want to try to stitch a Nora Corbett pixie. Happy Mira May and Happy stitching.
Its snow flurrying in the Colorado Rockies tonight and of course the hygge stitcher's video makes me feel so hygge when I'm stitching this evening. ❤Thank you for sharing your gorgeous Miras. Please do a video in the future with all your Noras!
Samantha hang your mermaid in your living room upstairs and others that are stitched and framed. You have so many you can still keep some in basement behind your new flosstube studio.
Hi!! I just wanted to say that I enjoy watching your videos so much not just for your talent but because you’re always so happy! That’s inspiring! Such a pleasure to watch! I’ve been collecting Mirabilia, Nora’s and L&L for the last few months…too intimidated to begin! ❤
Love this, thank you for sharing. Garden Verses was my first Mira, I'm now on about my 20th, and still got loads of them I want to stitch. I know exactly what you mean about your memories and emotions tied up in your stitching; for me, Mirabilia is my happy place where I can pick up my fabric and needle and enter into a world of beauty that nothing can spoil.
Oh Samantha, you are such an enabler, lol! I never even considered stitching a Mirabilia until now! I don’t know, at 62 years old I feel like maybe it’s now or never. So I’m off to peruse the Mirabilia website. I really love Bliss Fairy, but it’s like every one you showed became my favorite until the next one! You and Arica are my favorite flosstubers, together and independently. Thank you for sharing your time with us!
You are so talented and inspiring! I just want to stitch all the Mirabilias now😂 Thank you for sharing your Mira collection. I love it! Maybe we will se a Nora Corbett collection later ❤
Ha, you made me chuckle! Well then call me vintage as a 80's baby. Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed your time here with me. See you again soon, ~ Samantha
Really enjoyed this, Samantha! Thank you for sharing all your Miras 😍 I’ve just started my very first Mira - Christmas in London - and now I want to start all the things! 🤷♀️🤦♀️😂
Ohhh wow Samantha kicked it out of the park!!! Beautiful stitching 🧵 incredible!!! And yes! I’ve been wanting to record a flosstube I have so much stuff in my stitching table waiting to be recorded 🤣🤣🤣 And I love stitching on mermaid of the pearls ♥️♥️
Boop the snoot! 🐶 I never thought I would do a Mirabilia (they're too big, too difficult, too girly). While watching this though, I had to stop and browse the website. Now I have a dozen I want to do. Top of the list is Cathedral Woods Goddess. I think I will start with one of Nora's not Mirabilia designs and maybe a freebie first. I think you said you had a video with best method of attack for a Mirabilia? What episode is that? I also thought that Bliss and Petal fairies would make a heart! ♡
Oh My Gosh! Fabulous! You so inspire me! Someday I’ll finish a mirabilia! I have one as a wip and two others all kitted up. Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to see your finished ones framed. Happy Stitching!
I just pulled down my bin of completed-not-finished cross-stitch projects. I have 11 unframed Mirabilia's (and one Lavender & Lace - Once Upon a Time) and waaaaaaaaay home of the Nora Corbett projects. Man.
I absolutely enjoyed your Mirabilia wip parade, and I also like the idea of how you started all your kitted Mirabilia’s. I have quite a few kitted up but am always reluctant to have more than two on the go, so this is something that I will consider xx
Love this video and the content! I am all about anything by Nora Corbett! I have stitched many of her designs and most of her Mom’s as well over many years! Both amazing women in the field of stitching and artist! I just dove into the Nora’s and Amira’s a couple of years ago so I have a long way to have much of a collection but 2025 may be the year of only Mira for me! I am truly considering it❤ blessings hun and thanks for amazing content! 😊
I enjoy your Flosstube so much! Really liking the Mirabilias. I have started a couple and it is so helpful to see how you stitch yours. And just seeing the finished stitching. Thankyou!
Your ladies and fairies and mermaids are so beautiful!. I started my first fancy lady, "Christmas Visit" by Butternut Road and I'm surprised how much I am enjoying it. You have definitely enabled me with your fairies, so pretty.🧚🧚♂🧚♀
You are my go to UA-camr for Miras and sometimes you just need a Mira video, I was so glad to see this pop up this morning!!!! I am planning to stitch Rapunzel in the next couple of years but, now, I need to know if that is a blanket or a part of her dress LOL. Please, update us if you figure it out.
That was so fun! I loved that you mixed up the order with finishes, WIP's and charts. So much great inspiration. As always, your joy and enthusiasm with stitching is an absolute delight. Thanks for sharing!
Those Mirabilia's were amazing. Your stitching is superb. I've only seen one Mirabilia in real life so I enjoyed seeing all of yours up close. And also, I loved when you pointed out the different features of the designs i.e., you can see her skin through the wing. I wouldn't have noticed. That was so fun. Thanks again!
Samantha your stitching is absolutely beautiful. You have a lot of great talent and you seem so happy whatever you are stitching. I don’t think I could ever do one. The patterns seem so complicated to me. Enjoy your videos have watched them all. Bless you and take care.

Loved the parade!
Thank you so much for watching !! 😊
Gorgeous projects. Enjoyed watching.
Thank you so much!😊
Love seeing your zebras. I've kitted one. But I haven't started it out of fear. Never stitched on linen or even weave.
I totally understand about emotions and memories being attached to projects, that's how I feel about all my stitchy projects. I am yet to do my first miribillia but I totally love the bliss fairy! She is gorgeous
Loved this floss tube. Your work is amazing inspirational. Thanks for sharing
Your videos are so fun. You just got me thru folding 5 loads of laundry. I inspire to stitch a Mirabilia.
Thank you so much Laurel!! Your comment made my day !!!
What a beautiful WIP parade! I am doing my very first Nora Corbett for Mira-May, Santa's Sleigh! It's incredible how well it's charted and how quickly it's stitching up!
So fun to watch! Thanks for sharing Samantha!!! 😍
Thanks for watching Sarah! Your Mira Finish is beautiful and I’m excited to hear all about it!! See you again soon 😊
This was so inspiring….makes me want to stitch on every Mira that I have! I may need to lay down until the feeling passes because I already have too many wips…😂 Enjoyed your video Samantha. Thank you! ❤ Lori
Love all your finishes, they are gorgeous. I also love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Oh gosh how did I not know I live in the same city you do! How exciting! This was my first video of yours and I LOVED seeing how much excitement you have about your Mira’s
They are all lovely and your stitching oh so beautiful ❤ I am doing my first mirabilia and its Rapunzel 😊
Just beautiful!
I should really finish my Santas Magic. Now you made me want all the Miras
Samantha, I have not missed a video yet but I loved this one! I wish I had 30 years of stitching ahead of me instead of 30 behind so I could stitch every one of those beautiful Mirabilia designs! They are all gorgeous! I have been working on Enchanted Mermaid off and on for 2 years. I need to finish it this year and get it framed for my daughter. The beads! Eeks… 😊 Thanks for sharing your lovely projects,
I thought the exact same thing about the 30 years!
You are so inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your Mira pieces- they're gorgeous! Happy stitching!
Lots of inspiration here - trying to tell myself I need to stick to my plan to get my previous May deadlines done and not finish knitting up a Mira, but I certainly am going to be sure I have it done before Nora November at least!
You had me at emotional. Love your pieces. I can't wait to start and finish a Mirabilia.
Loved watching your WIP parade!! Beautiful stitching!

What a fun parade. I just bought my first Nora Corbett, witching pixie. This video is great inspiration.
Hi Samantha. What a great episode. I have couple of Miras in my stash. I need to kit them asap. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Beautiful video as always! Mermaid of the pearl has been in my wish list for 2 years now and I’m hoping one day I will find her 💔 my another one in a wish that hard to find is English rose and I follow yours advise and added charts to my cart that I want to stitch because never know if and when they will go out of print 😀
Your miras are gorgeous!!! 😍😍
Thank you so much Janice!! 😊
These are so gorgeous. I think I need to find that midsummer fairy!
Loved it all! Great stitching! I'm working on Lady of the flag.
I love Mirabelia and have done quite a few ... have not framed any ... just started the letter "S" by Nora Corbett Ill be stitching 2 for my twin granddaughters Sadie and Sophia ... I believe you have it framed on the shelf behind you ...
This was an amazing video and I hope you do another one showing off your other Nora Corbett designs!
I so enjoyed this video. All of your stitching is gorgeous.
Thank you so much!😊

I know exactly what you mean about your memories and emotions tied up in your stitching; for me, Mirabilia is my happy place where I can pick up my fabric and needle and enter into a world of beauty that nothing can spoil.
Oh Samantha, you are such an enabler, lol! I never even considered stitching a Mirabilia until now! I don’t know, at 62 years old I feel like maybe it’s now or never. So I’m off to peruse the Mirabilia website. I really love Bliss Fairy, but it’s like every one you showed became my favorite until the next one! You and Arica are my favorite flosstubers, together and independently. Thank you for sharing your time with us!
What a super fun video! You've inspired me and I just bought 3 more Mira's!! Yikes!!
You are so talented and inspiring! I just want to stitch all the Mirabilias now😂 Thank you for sharing your Mira collection. I love it! Maybe we will se a Nora Corbett collection later ❤
Amazing video😍 so many beautiful patterns. You said " oh there's a oldie. From 1994. And i was like, wait a minute. Im born 1994. Am i an oldie now?😂
Ha, you made me chuckle! Well then call me vintage as a 80's baby. Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed your time here with me.
See you again soon,
~ Samantha
Wow 🤩!!! So enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful work. It’s amazing 🤩. I hope you also post a Nora video showing your work.
Really enjoyed this, Samantha! Thank you for sharing all your Miras 😍 I’ve just started my very first Mira - Christmas in London - and now I want to start all the things! 🤷♀️🤦♀️😂
I can relate!!! Thank you so much for watching 😊
Ohhh wow Samantha kicked it out of the park!!! Beautiful stitching 🧵 incredible!!! And yes! I’ve been wanting to record a flosstube I have so much stuff in my stitching table waiting to be recorded 🤣🤣🤣 And I love stitching on mermaid of the pearls ♥️♥️
I look forward to it !!! Enjoy every stitch !!!
Boop the snoot! 🐶
I never thought I would do a Mirabilia (they're too big, too difficult, too girly). While watching this though, I had to stop and browse the website. Now I have a dozen I want to do. Top of the list is Cathedral Woods Goddess. I think I will start with one of Nora's not Mirabilia designs and maybe a freebie first.
I think you said you had a video with best method of attack for a Mirabilia? What episode is that?
I also thought that Bliss and Petal fairies would make a heart! ♡
I can totally relate to the emotions tied to the pieces we stitch. Bless you and your daughters. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡 Jacque 🐑
I love all your Mirabilias. I’ve ordered Titiania and Midsummer Night’s Fairy my first Mirabilias 😀
Oh My Gosh! Fabulous! You so inspire me! Someday I’ll finish a mirabilia! I have one as a wip and two others all kitted up. Thank you for sharing! Can’t wait to see your finished ones framed. Happy Stitching!
I just pulled down my bin of completed-not-finished cross-stitch projects. I have 11 unframed Mirabilia's (and one Lavender & Lace - Once Upon a Time) and waaaaaaaaay home of the Nora Corbett projects. Man.
Thanks Samantha. Terrific video. I love your new stitchy spot and your Mirabilias are beautiful.
When you started crying.... I started crying!!
I absolutely enjoyed your Mirabilia wip parade, and I also like the idea of how you started all your kitted Mirabilia’s. I have quite a few kitted up but am always reluctant to have more than two on the go, so this is something that I will consider xx
Love this video and the content! I am all about anything by Nora Corbett! I have stitched many of her designs and most of her Mom’s as well over many years! Both amazing women in the field of stitching and artist! I just dove into the Nora’s and Amira’s a couple of years ago so I have a long way to have much of a collection but 2025 may be the year of only Mira for me! I am truly considering it❤ blessings hun and thanks for amazing content! 😊
I've seen blitz and petal fairy stitched togather to make the heart. It was beautiful
Loved seeing all your beautiful stitching. Your Mermaid of Pearls is just stunning!
Thank you so much Heather 😊!! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. See you again soon. -Samantha 🦋
I enjoy your Flosstube so much! Really liking the Mirabilias. I have started a couple and it is so helpful to see how you stitch yours. And just seeing the finished stitching. Thankyou!
Mirabilia Magic ✨ I just started Athena for #MiraMay, so I can't wait to see when you start yours! 🥰
Ooohh exciting!!! Can’t wait to join you one day. Thank you so much for watching! 🦋
Your ladies and fairies and mermaids are so beautiful!. I started my first fancy lady, "Christmas Visit" by Butternut Road and I'm surprised how much I am enjoying it. You have definitely enabled me with your fairies, so pretty.🧚🧚♂🧚♀
You are my go to UA-camr for Miras and sometimes you just need a Mira video, I was so glad to see this pop up this morning!!!! I am planning to stitch Rapunzel in the next couple of years but, now, I need to know if that is a blanket or a part of her dress LOL. Please, update us if you figure it out.
I enjoyed seeing all your stitches in this line. On the last one, butterfly fairy.... are you stitching with 1 thread over 1?
Thank you for sharing your collection! I have a mermaid I need to get back to and several in my library to get started soon! ❤
I am just starting Midsummer Nights Fairy
That was so fun! I loved that you mixed up the order with finishes, WIP's and charts. So much great inspiration. As always, your joy and enthusiasm with stitching is an absolute delight. Thanks for sharing!
Those Mirabilia's were amazing. Your stitching is superb. I've only seen one Mirabilia in real life so I enjoyed seeing all of yours up close. And also, I loved when you pointed out the different features of the designs i.e., you can see her skin through the wing. I wouldn't have noticed. That was so fun. Thanks again!
