Hey girls! I learned to stitch in the late 80s and am an old school bobbinator with my floss to this day! Seems so less messy that way, both in the way it looks and when using it. ❤
Just love spending time with you beautiful ladies! Molly, change up that red in the HOD Summer Basket and make it your own! ❤🤍💙 Kathy, I had a big case of the grumpies Monday. It was not good. 😆 I'm so sorry to hear about your week! Your sampler is gorgeous!!!! ❤
I found you fabulous ladies based on a recommendation from Karen of Fox and Rabbit. I'm glad I took the plunge into another floss tube. Happy Stitching!
Hi Molly and Kathy, I just discovered your flosstube and can't help but wonder what rock I was hidding under😂. I loved it so much that I have binge watched every episode. I feel like I have been stitching with some best friends everyday. My son and his wife are considering moving to Texas and I told them to go to El Paso just so I can come visit them and hunt you beautiful ladies down and do a little fan girl 😉. I am a scrapbooker/ paper crafter too and have really enjoyed seeing the cross over to cross stitch. Thank you so much for showing your talents. Molly you have the biggest heart and it really shows. Thanks again and I hope you don't mind if I call you friends. ❤
Kathy, the bags were stunning. Molly, your projects are so pretty. On the stitch that Kathy gave you try waxing it. I don’t usually wax my thread, but some threads really need the wax to keep them from fraying. Ya’ll have a wonderful week. Hope it gets easier. I can’t wait for the tag tutorial.❤❤❤
Hello ladies I'm new to your channel. I found you from a mention from Shellie Antique Needle workers and I love all your things and you both are just the sweetest and make me feel right at home watching your FLOSS TUBE channel.
Molly, your wall looks wonderful! Sometime, would you give us a tour of your cabinets? I’m thinking of getting the IKEA cabinets and counter like yours.
Molly your dmc labels would be perfect for what I’m trying to do with my floss organization. I’d definitely be interested in it now that I’ve got a system going with all 67 of my fully kitted projects! The organization of it also gives me the same satisfaction as the stitching Kathy. 😄👍🩵🪡
I just posted a pdf of the labels set to print on Avery 18167 labels under the Community tab on our channel page, and under the Freebies page of my blog: craftingmemorieswithmolly@blogspot.com I don't keep that page updated like I should, but do have some fun freebies on it. Thanks for watching!
Perfect video for me today, this stitching hobby isn’t supposed to be aggravating! I’m a bobbinator from way back, to me having threads hanging from a little card is messy and distracting. I’ve been cross stitching since the late 1970s, can’t change this old dog’s habit! I’m still loving the tags, I’m going to have to see what supplies are in my crafty stash. Thanks for sharing everything!
Actually Molly, do remember that piece and you were switching to over-dyes. No, not my life, but my life while I'm enjoying watching you both. You both were so funny today - hope your humor helped you overcome the frustrating frogs. Thanks, ladies!
I have quilts that my mother made from scraps from clothes I had as a child and a teen. I'm am 68 years old, and those quilts are still going strong. I only used homemade quilts until I got married. So many fabrics last a long time. I would also guess it depends on how the quilts are taken care of, out of sun and not washed a lot.
Love your videos! You ladies always add sunshine to my day! Molly: Poshta Designs makes a floss drop die with a large hole and a small hole. I have them and they work very nicely. Kathy: thanks for all the Mother’s Day items!
Such fun visiting with you both. Now I have to go and make a project roll. A flosstube that I really enjoy are WIPs and Stitches. They are always good for a laugh.
Kathy, use your phone to take a picture off of the taped together pattern, and then the phone can enlarge it if needed. I do that with all my patterns, easier on the eyes!
Molly, I apologize if this is a repeat post. Somehow I have lost it. I appreciate your mention of my system of stitching on my oldest WIP. Others have used this system to finish something they really wanted to get done. It really works for me. I love your FT so much. Thank you for your mention. Happy stitching. Best, K
Talk to your framer about the cobwebs in the corners of your Halloween fairy fabric. They may be able to trim them off the linen and do inserts on the matting to show them off.
What a wonderful ay to spend time! I watched this while doing a very lengthy physio regime - not sure my form was good but at least I was entertained while doing it!!
G'day Kath & Molly. Another great video. Always look forward to seeing you ladies. You are so much fun and beautiful stitchers. Look forward to the next one.
You girls are the best!! Another fun flosstube, you both brighten my day. Kathy, in one of the past post, I think you mentioned you don’t use the pin stitch for a single “stand alone” stitch. I hope im remembering that correctly 😊. Can you demonstrate in a future episode what technique you use for a single stitch. Molly, I’m starting the Sunflower Sampler that I’ve had it kitted up for awhile. Not an old one started but an old one I’ve been wanting to start. Thanks for the motivation!
Sorry for your rough week. Wishing the two of you a much better week ahead. Thanks for sharing. I think it’s wonderful that we can have the thread drops that make us happy! To me that’s what cross, stitch, quilting and whatever other craft one is doing is all about, doing what makes you happy.
Kathy you have a lot of dedication to continue on with your project after all that frogging and then having to restitch it all again…especially over 1… oh my! Your project bags are beautiful
Molly your projects are so precious… kudos to you for sticking with your advanced projects. Confetti stitches are beautiful but intense. Love your video.
I love watching you two (AND your cross stitching!). I can totally feel your pain on the craptasticness of this past week. Listen, I put the ground coffee where the water should've gone, tripped over three cats, and turned dyslexic on my laptop all within 10 minutes. And that was only a fraction of one DAY. Here's wishing us all a better week!
Ladies, you make me so happy! I’ve been talking to my stitchy friends about some of the topics you talked about today. Needles, threads and old wips. I love your attitudes about how stitching can be frustrating and you still love it. It is how I feel about it too. Some days it all goes well and other days nothing goes right! Knowing others have the same “troubles” makes me smile. Xstitch is still my first craft love. Keep your videos coming. You are both amazing.😊
Thank you so m uch, Kathy. I haven't stitched for a few days...thinking I'm just too busy. Picked up some pieces and put just a few strands in and immediately felt more relaxed. And actually counted right! Thanks again for watching and sharing the sweet comment. Hugs, Molly D
Loved the the time spent with you both 🥰🙌. Molly, your re-designed stitch wall looks great! Kathy; your updated sun/moon themed bags/ notebook cover are outstanding… as always; thank you both for such inspiring works if art… oh … i have had the Stella lamps for several years… excellent lighting 👍🪡. Wishing you both a blessed Mother’s Day 🌸
This was such a fun flosstube to watch! I always love to see what you two are up to...I have never seen a project roll before--so interesting!! Kathy, I am glad to know I am not the only stitcher to work on one thing at a time😃 Molly, you're so enthusiastic about your projects, and I love it!! You make the best team🥰
The two of you are so funny! Bummer that you were having a bad week frogging, etc...next week will be better! Thanks for sharing all your beautiful projects! Molly, the project you are working on about being a hot mess is the cutest! Why not change your fabric and thread and maybe you'll enjoy the process much better. Thanks for making me smile!
Hey Kathy and Molly … y’all just made my day … love seeing all of your works, neat ideas and frogging which we all are guilty of … the two of you are so talented and entertaining and you make me feel so good 😊 … until next time ❤ Dena
Love you two. When I make my project bags I use fusible fleece and it gives it nice body. I always get ideas watching the two of you and I had quite a few chuckles today.
Thank y’all for the shout out!!! I just love watching all!!! ~ Christy P.S. Kathy, I have my DMC bobbinated and what I am doing, is when I pull one for a project, I transfer them to flossdrops. One day, they’ll all be on flossdrops and I’ll be done with bobbins 😊
I agree the 🐸 has visited me with my two main wips, enchanted mermaid by Mirabilia and Stars and Stripes that one’s a colab! I don’t know when I’ll pick them back up I decided to move on to a Christmas ornament or three! We’ll see what happens 😊
You guys are so funny today, I laughed so much. You are making me want to stitch everything. I just visited Hobby House in New York, my haul was HUGE! Thanks to my husband for flying us up here and driving around New York and New England area.
So enjoy the two of you. Thank you for sharing. Made me smile - it was a hard week full of bad personal news and it was good to spend time with you. Happy stitching.
I always watch and enjoy your videos. I’m sorry you both had “one of those weeks” but, I gotta say it led to one of your best videos ever (in my opinion). You ladies are so entertaining and just so fun to watch and listen to. Hope this week goes better. Thank you! 🪡💜
LOL, Molly, I laughed so hard, not at your trouble, but at what you said about it. "I had to go on Google to find new cuss words, cause I used all the one's I know" and, "I tell you, it's worse than a case of Covid!" Oh my oh my! I'm going to borrow those phrases, friend! Thank you for sharing your stitchy life. Love you both!❤
🐸 has sure made his rounds! I spent 2 hours on one motif. Thank you ladies. Always pick up something new after watching. I make my own floss drops from blank note cards from Dollar General. $1 a pack and I get 3-4 tags from the cover.
Kathy, I'm with you on the floss organizers. I've been stitching for 40+ years so I'm not starting over at this point. Molly, please type the name of the orange sampler in the show notes. I love it and want to try to find it but I'm hard of hearing and am not getting the name. Your two are so delightful and I love watching your channel. Thank you for sharing your talents with the flosstube community. 🙂
Wow what a video packed with such inspiration! I just want to leave work and go stitch! That tag that was gifted to Molly was beautiful! I have been saving my food boxes for when you have your tutorial. I need to do a bit of shopping to get some different papers and some antiquing ink for them. Kathy, I am so sorry you are suffering with the pollen.
What a wonderful video! So many things you have made and so many ideas of how to finish items! I have a project roll that is very basic but I forget to use it! Thanks for showing yours! Love to watch you two!
Mollie and Cathy, for scissors I recommend someone that sharpens hairdresser scissors. Those scissors are very expensive some over $1,000. A person that's uses a flat wheel like a record, it costs a little more but they will be as sharp as a surgical implement. Ladies, I enjoyed this video so much, all of your stories, stitching, haul, ideas. Thank you both for sharing
Goodness, I am out of breath just watching you both! You have so much energy and make such pretty things! I am sorry that the frog has been visiting you this week! It is heartbreaking to hear how much frogging you had to do Kathy! Let’s hope he is gone now! I love the sun & moon project bags you made! Such cool fabric! You are both so much fun, thank you for lifting my spirits on this Friday afternoon!
Thank-you both, so much information and fun. We've all been there, Kathy, frogging on 40 ct...over one...oooof. I've had to put myself and/or my project into Time Out many times. Great floss drop ideas Molly. I just started a project with Weeks and I'm devising a two hole solution as well. I'd love to know the info about the clear labels.
You gals always make me laugh out loud. Thank you for that. Your stitching and creativity blow my mind. Here’s my question for you, why is it called frogging. I just can’t figure it out!! 🪡🧵
Absolutely love you ladies!! You always have beautiful projects and lots of great cross stitch ideas. Kathy your project rolls and bags are gorgeous!!! Molly you just crack me up with some of the funny things you say like when Kathy said her husband told her not to put all the things in her cart on Amazon because she has over a thousand dollars worth a stuff and she could push the wrong bottom and buy everything, your reply was “well then you will get everything you want”, that just tickled my fancy!!! Boy we got caught in one of those Ha BOObs in New. Mexico on our way to Arizona and BOY were we scared we could not see a thing not even the tail lights of the car in front of us and the tumble weeds keep hitting our car and some of them went under the car. Honestly, I was praying like crazy to God to help us and he answered our prayer and it stopped,. We were pulling tumble weeds out of the car grill and my husband asked one of the guys at the gas station if he could go under the car and get those nasty tumble weeds out from under the carriage of the car. I think where ever go there is all ways a weather related bad storm; we have tornados here in Illinois. Love you gals, Lynn
Thanks so much. I was asking out the Mary Sampler out of the book. If you could share some of the colors. Those berry bowl colors are gorgeous. I don’t have enough stash to decide from and have no LNS. Just a list of what you pulled they are so pretty. FYI. I just told 2 more of us what the book was in the comments 😊
1:16 it drives me nuts that the WDW tags aren’t as long as the others so I added the plastic tabs at the top as shown by Missy Timberlake ua-cam.com/video/VxpluiYsGAo/v-deo.htmlsi=UPaBwy6xCQwNtMPd
I have skeins of DMC from the 1980's. Love the wood trays!!! Great Video, cool Ort Bead bling. We've had strong windy conditions for days (AZ), so you'll be getting more soon.
I'm watching while under a tornado watch so a dust storm on your end is fitting. Lots of good stuff again today. Thread and fabric do deteriorate over time depending on conditions. A quick way to determine if thread is still good is to cut off a length and snap it tight between your hands. If it breaks; don't use it. Fabric is harder to tell as new fabric can wear quicker than you expect. 35 years ago I started putting floss into floss bags and still find it the easiest way to manage floss so no plans to ever change to another system. Life is way to short for that sort of thing! I got the biggest giggle out of Molly having to Google new cuss words. My husband was career Navy and he was quite surprised that sewing has it's "WORDS" also. I broke a linen thread on a piece well over a year ago now and it was in the corner of the sewing room until I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Still mad at it. Love the chart but totally over finishing it and I'm 3/4 of the way done.
Glad im not the only one who gets my words all jumbled!! Yall had me in stitches!!When i saw yall show the wood trays a few videos ago, i immediately ordered one, mine is the -exact blue one Molly has and i love it!! Why yes, id love a Stella lamp for mothers day! Someone tell my kids!! Baklava when the power goes out, im in!! That ort bead is gorgeous!! Ruth needs an etsy shop!!
I'm with you. I watch Flosstube, sports, and some History Channel with real people doing real things. No contrived shows. I live real people, especially those who share beauty and craft. I miss HGTV having crafting and quilting.
So fun to see you two. You always make me smile and giggle. 😆 A forest piece...is it Evergreen Forest by Shannon Christine? It's a cute piece. That's on my wishlist. I love Pine Crossing, too, by Robin Pickens. What is it about all those amazing trees? lol. Kathy, your bags are scrumptious! Beautiful! Molly, the 12 Days of Christmas is so vibrant and pretty. I've seen the pic before and thought it was nice, but seeing yours stitched...oh my! Makes me want to stitch it. Thanks for another great video and fun time. 😃
For the printed ones I used a heavy 110 lb cardstock. Not all printers can take that weight, so be cardeful For the scrapbook paper ones, I use Anna Griffin prints or other heavy weight ones. They will take a lot of thread pulling and not rip. Thanks so much for watching, Laura. Hugs, Molly D
Can’t tell ya that.. but others have.. I roll the piece on itself, tie with ribbon or cotton string. Stand upright in a pretty antique box and baskets…
Ladies you both are amazing 🤗🤗 Thank you for making me laugh 😂 and sharing your beautiful out come of your crafting adventures . Can you please explain what is confetti in cross stitch terminology. Since I started back in Cross Stitch I been hearing new cross stitch terminology 😮 Many blessings to you both and enjoy your weekend and week ahead 🙏🙏🙏✌️
Molly ALL cereals should have zip bags!!! I’ve complained about this for years. I make my own floss drops with a large punch out of old Christmas cards, etc. Too old to purchase a machine at this late date 😂
I love sign of Interest. I contacted her and she made me one with an owl as requested. It’s beautiful and I love it!
Hey girls! I learned to stitch in the late 80s and am an old school bobbinator with my floss to this day! Seems so less messy that way, both in the way it looks and when using it. ❤
Wonderful video! Those ort beads are the prettiest things! Happy stitching!!❤
They are!
Thank you!!!
The choice of needle does make a huge difference in when it comes to enjoying your stitching! Great ideas for mother's day gifts!
Amen to that. Thanks so much for watching and the sweet comment. hugs, Molly D
Molly, you can show us your “stitchy kindness” gifts anytime! Most stitchers love other crafts, too!!
Just love spending time with you beautiful ladies! Molly, change up that red in the HOD Summer Basket and make it your own! ❤🤍💙 Kathy, I had a big case of the grumpies Monday. It was not good. 😆 I'm so sorry to hear about your week! Your sampler is gorgeous!!!! ❤
I had a hard time getting rid of them too. Bust when all went south, I lost all my friends! 😂
I've never experienced a dust storm! 😮 Loved spending time with you while I stitched this afternoon!
Kinda like a blizzard but it’s grit that doesn’t melt. YUCK!!!!🤢
I found you fabulous ladies based on a recommendation from Karen of Fox and Rabbit. I'm glad I took the plunge into another floss tube. Happy Stitching!
Welcome!! Karen is such a sweetheart!!!! Love them both! Thank you!!!😊
Thank you both for sharing all the fun. What great finds and information. ❤
Have the best weekend!! Love all your videos 😊
Hi Molly and Kathy, I just discovered your flosstube and can't help but wonder what rock I was hidding under😂. I loved it so much that I have binge watched every episode. I feel like I have been stitching with some best friends everyday.

Thanks again and I hope you don't mind if I call you friends. ❤
Soooo glad you found us! It was a very nice 🪨 I’m sure!
Thanks for another great video! The moment I saw those magnetic hoops I had to stop what I was doing and order them. Can't wait to try them out. 💜
Kathy, the bags were stunning. Molly, your projects are so pretty. On the stitch that Kathy gave you try waxing it. I don’t usually wax my thread, but some threads really need the wax to keep them from fraying. Ya’ll have a wonderful week. Hope it gets easier. I can’t wait for the tag tutorial.❤❤❤
Great tip! Wish I thought of that!!!
Hello ladies I'm new to your channel. I found you from a mention from Shellie Antique Needle workers and I love all your things and you both are just the sweetest and make me feel right at home watching your FLOSS TUBE channel.
Thank you so much!
Molly, your wall looks wonderful! Sometime, would you give us a tour of your cabinets? I’m thinking of getting the IKEA cabinets and counter like yours.
I love my ikea units. Really helps me keep things organized and a breeze to clean up quickly. Thanks so much for watching! hugs, Molly D

@@linenandscraps4821 thank you so much. I have saved the PDF and will pick up some Avery labels.
I love the pears! I've wanted to stitch those but am not sure about the FFO'ing part. Would love a tutorial! Rainbow, candy cane, key, lugana, quilt
Kathy, love the tip about waxing your thread if you have to rip it out and reuse it. Thanks!
It helps!

I sure do love watchin' y'all! ❤❤❤❤
Molly, I watch some videoes over and over too. Flisstube really is blisspoint. 🕊

Glad you enjoyed it
Talk to your framer about the cobwebs in the corners of your Halloween fairy fabric. They may be able to trim them off the linen and do inserts on the matting to show them off.
I will. Would like to get it framed for this year…
Molly, you have me laughing…this was one of my favorite episodes! You can soften the Aida by washing with vinegar to get the sizing out !
What a wonderful ay to spend time! I watched this while doing a very lengthy physio regime - not sure my form was good but at least I was entertained while doing it!!
G'day Kath & Molly. Another great video. Always look forward to seeing you ladies. You are so much fun and beautiful stitchers. Look forward to the next one.

I purchased one of those wood trays after you showed it from A Sign of Interest. It is wonderful. Totally recommend it. Thanks!
They are sooooo pretty! Sooo many to pick from!!!
Such a fun afternoon with you both!! ❤❤
Loved the the time spent with you both 🥰🙌. Molly, your re-designed stitch wall looks great!

Aww thank you!!!
Wow. The two of you have been very busy. Molly, the stiff fabric with kits, you can take steam from your iron and loosen it up. Enjoyed the flosstube.
Thank you!!!🙏
Love you two. When I make my project bags I use fusible fleece and it gives it nice body. I always get ideas watching the two of you and I had quite a few chuckles today.
We do have fun!!!🤩

Great thought.. too I tagged you when I posted my neewww mug! Just need a Heifer label! 🏷️
I agree the 🐸 has visited me with my two main wips, enchanted mermaid by Mirabilia and Stars and Stripes that one’s a colab! I don’t know when I’ll pick them back up I decided to move on to a Christmas ornament or three! We’ll see what happens 😊
Oh the choices we must all have!!!

Thank you so much!!😊
So enjoy the two of you. Thank you for sharing. Made me smile - it was a hard week full of bad personal news and it was good to spend time with you. Happy stitching.
It’s better… but geeeezzzzx
I always watch and enjoy your videos. I’m sorry you both had “one of those weeks” but, I gotta say it led to one of your best videos ever (in my opinion). You ladies are so entertaining and just so fun to watch and listen to. Hope this week goes better. Thank you! 🪡💜
Thank you so much!😊
You two are delightful and you are also helpful. Molly, how do you affix the scrapbook paper to your label?
Oh my that was so fun watching 👀 you girls today 😂
I had decided to make my own floss drops, too.
Take care
LOL, Molly, I laughed so hard, not at your trouble, but at what you said about it. "I had to go on Google to find new cuss words, cause I used all the one's I know" and, "I tell you, it's worse than a case of Covid!" Oh my oh my! I'm going to borrow those phrases, friend!

Kathy, I'm with you on the floss organizers. I've been stitching for 40+ years so I'm not starting over at this point. Molly, please type the name of the orange sampler in the show notes. I love it and want to try to find it but I'm hard of hearing and am not getting the name. Your two are so delightful and I love watching your channel. Thank you for sharing your talents with the flosstube community. 🙂
I know! I’d rather stitch!!!
Wow what a video packed with such inspiration! I just want to leave work and go stitch! That tag that was gifted to Molly was beautiful! I have been saving my food boxes for when you have your tutorial. I need to do a bit of shopping to get some different papers and some antiquing ink for them. Kathy, I am so sorry you are suffering with the pollen.
Mostly Mollys kitty kats. She has three and surely they join her in the craft room!!! 😂
What a wonderful video! So many things you have made and so many ideas of how to finish items! I have a project roll that is very basic but I forget to use it! Thanks for showing yours! Love to watch you two!
You are so welcome!🤗
Molly you totally crack me up with your sayings. You remind me of my mammie 💘
lololol....Thank you so so much for watching and the sweet comment! hugs, Molly D
your videos are so informative! enjoy you two so much! I wish I had a friend like the two of you are friends!
We are very lucky!!! Thank you!!
Mollie and Cathy, for scissors I recommend someone that sharpens hairdresser scissors. Those scissors are very expensive some over $1,000. A person that's uses a flat wheel like a record, it costs a little more but they will be as sharp as a surgical implement. Ladies, I enjoyed this video so much, all of your stories, stitching, haul, ideas. Thank you both for sharing
Great tip!!!
Great video ladies! It reminds me a lot of your very first several videos! Kathy, your bags are gorgeous and unique!
Thanks for watching!
Molly, you have the patience of Job.

Great to see you two again ! The energy and talent you share is amazing 🤩 it’s like I’m visiting and sharing the joy you bring 🥰. Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!😊
Goodness, I am out of breath just watching you both! You have so much energy and make such pretty things! I am sorry that the frog has been visiting you this week! It is heartbreaking to hear how much frogging you had to do Kathy! Let’s hope he is gone now! I love the sun & moon project bags you made! Such cool fabric! You are both so much fun, thank you for lifting my spirits on this Friday afternoon!
Thank you so much!😊.. stitching mojo coming back….:)
That frog has been haunting me for a month! Also had sewing machine problems! Yes, I packed it all up and put it away. Crying 😢
OMGosh I feel soooo lost! Like I have not a friend in the world!!!!🌎
Thank-you both, so much information and fun. We've all been there, Kathy, frogging on 40 ct...over one...oooof. I've had to put myself and/or my project into Time Out many times. Great floss drop ideas Molly. I just started a project with Weeks and I'm devising a two hole solution as well. I'd love to know the info about the clear labels.
They look nice.. but the time involved.. hmmmmm
What a show today! I wait for your videos but I’m laughing out loud w u today!😄
Glad you enjoy it! We have fun!!🤩
Thanks sharing all those fun and beautiful things. Happy stitching ❤
You are so welcome!🙏
Bobbins is easy to see for me.
You gals always make me laugh out loud. Thank you for that. Your stitching and creativity blow my mind. Here’s my question for you, why is it called frogging. I just can’t figure it out!! 🪡🧵
🐸 = rip it, rip it…
Absolutely love you ladies!! You always have beautiful projects and lots of great cross stitch ideas. Kathy your project rolls and bags are gorgeous!!! Molly you just crack me up with some of the funny things you say like when Kathy said her husband told her not to put all the things in her cart on Amazon because she has over a thousand dollars worth a stuff and she could push the wrong bottom and buy everything, your reply was “well then you will get everything you want”, that just tickled my fancy!!! Boy we got caught in one of those Ha BOObs in New. Mexico on our way to Arizona and BOY were we scared we could not see a thing not even the tail lights of the car in front of us and the tumble weeds keep hitting our car and some of them went under the car. Honestly, I was praying like crazy to God to help us and he answered our prayer and it stopped,. We were pulling tumble weeds out of the car grill and my husband asked one of the guys at the gas station if he could go under the car and get those nasty tumble weeds out from under the carriage of the car. I think where ever go there is all ways a weather related bad storm; we have tornados here in Illinois.
Love you gals, Lynn
Lots of tumble weed rolling around these days! Hopefully the front rolled with! Thx for watching!!!
Thanks so much. I was asking out the Mary Sampler out of the book. If you could share some of the colors. Those berry bowl colors are gorgeous. I don’t have enough stash to decide from and have no LNS. Just a list of what you pulled they are so pretty. FYI. I just told 2 more of us what the book was in the comments 😊
Ahhhh thank you for your help!!!
Molly, I'd love your dmc label document.
Thanks for another great video! Love spending time with you two.
Glad you enjoyed it
Molly you with your Southern sayings keep me laughing. My Stella lamp is one of the best purchases I’ve made.
Love my lamp!!!!
1:16 it drives me nuts that the WDW tags aren’t as long as the others so I added the plastic tabs at the top as shown by Missy Timberlake ua-cam.com/video/VxpluiYsGAo/v-deo.htmlsi=UPaBwy6xCQwNtMPd
So did I!!! They are great!!
I just ❤you girls!! You share so much information!! I appreciate the both of you!! Have a wonderful weekend!! Happy Stitching!!
Thank you! You too!
Nicole is currently making a Biscornu with the hands in design that you showed. It’s patriotic so she is using a red, white and blue.
I have skeins of DMC from the 1980's. Love the wood trays!!! Great Video, cool Ort Bead bling. We've had strong windy conditions for days (AZ), so you'll be getting more soon.
Yep! AZ gets the winds and dust too. Crazy…
This video was awesome!😂
You are both very lucky to have found each other.
Keep it up!😮
Yes we are! Thank you!!!😊
Helen D was using one of these
I'm watching while under a tornado watch so a dust storm on your end is fitting. Lots of good stuff again today. Thread and fabric do deteriorate over time depending on conditions. A quick way to determine if thread is still good is to cut off a length and snap it tight between your hands. If it breaks; don't use it. Fabric is harder to tell as new fabric can wear quicker than you expect. 35 years ago I started putting floss into floss bags and still find it the easiest way to manage floss so no plans to ever change to another system. Life is way to short for that sort of thing! I got the biggest giggle out of Molly having to Google new cuss words. My husband was career Navy and he was quite surprised that sewing has it's "WORDS" also. I broke a linen thread on a piece well over a year ago now and it was in the corner of the sewing room until I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Still mad at it. Love the chart but totally over finishing it and I'm 3/4 of the way done.
Hilarious 😂!!! We had fun. Thx for the great tip! Bad stormy weather for sure. Stay safe!!!
Glad im not the only one who gets my words all jumbled!! Yall had me in stitches!!When i saw yall show the wood trays a few videos ago, i immediately ordered one, mine is the -exact blue one Molly has and i love it!! Why yes, id love a Stella lamp for mothers day! Someone tell my kids!! Baklava when the power goes out, im in!!
That ort bead is gorgeous!! Ruth needs an etsy shop!!
I know! Who would have thought 💭 a way to use orts… now I need one…lol
I'm with you. I watch Flosstube, sports, and some History Channel with real people doing real things. No contrived shows. I live real people, especially those who share beauty and craft. I miss HGTV having crafting and quilting.
Yep! No fake by us gals!!!
Patternayan is strandable wool mostly used for Needlepoint. I believe it's British. It's color coded to patterns. It's very nice.
Thanks for the info!
Sorry you ladies have had a bad week, but you just made mine. Love you both.
🤣
Someone calls frustrating projects the ones they put in time out. Been there felt that.
Uggggg right???
So fun to see you two. You always make me smile and giggle. 😆
A forest piece...is it Evergreen Forest by Shannon Christine? It's a cute piece. That's on my wishlist. I love Pine Crossing, too, by Robin Pickens. What is it about all those amazing trees? lol.
Kathy, your bags are scrumptious! Beautiful!
Molly, the 12 Days of Christmas is so vibrant and pretty. I've seen the pic before and thought it was nice, but seeing yours stitched...oh my! Makes me want to stitch it.
Thanks for another great video and fun time. 😃
Thank YOU!!! We do have fun!!!🤩
1:13 Molly that would give me peace too & I’ve been looking for the right kind of cardstock for this. What did u use?
For the printed ones I used a heavy 110 lb cardstock. Not all printers can take that weight, so be cardeful For the scrapbook paper ones, I use Anna Griffin prints or other heavy weight ones. They will take a lot of thread pulling and not rip. Thanks so much for watching, Laura. Hugs, Molly D
May I ask - Kathy how do you store your linen? They tell me if it’s folded too long of a time the creases won’t come out
Can’t tell ya that.. but others have..
I roll the piece on itself, tie with ribbon or cotton string. Stand upright in a pretty antique box and baskets…
Ladies you both are amazing 🤗🤗 Thank you for making me laugh 😂 and sharing your beautiful out come of your crafting adventures . Can you please explain what is confetti in cross stitch terminology. Since I started back in Cross Stitch I been hearing new cross stitch terminology 😮 Many blessings to you both and enjoy your weekend and week ahead 🙏🙏🙏✌️
You are so welcome! Confetti is heavy stitching with numerous color changes all in a tiny area. Ck out a HAED…
Thank you for watching!!!!
I would love the file to print floss tags. I love those floss tags. Do you have a link for the beautiful prints on back of your tags
In the community tab..
I love you two! You make me laugh! I have great friends too!
Yay! Thank you!😊
Molly ALL cereals should have zip bags!!! I’ve complained about this for years. I make my own floss drops with a large punch out of old Christmas cards, etc. Too old to purchase a machine at this late date 😂
