Hi Erica, I just found your flosstube and enjoy it very much. Your stitching is beautiful! I am just getting back into stitching after being gone for many years, but now I am hooked again and want to stitch everything! Your cats are the sweetest! I have 4 of my own and also foster kittens. Kinda hard to stitch sometimes when they are all around haha. Thank you for sharing all your WIPs and finishes. Oz Summer Harvest
Thanks for the GREAT 13 TH Video...totally enjoyed myself!! OZ was a movie that came on during the Easter break every year of my school days. Great finishes...truly!!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2023!!
You just popped up in my feed and your projects and finishes are all beautiful. You have enabled me to shop some more! Your cat will drive you crazy until she goes outdoors. I had one the same and he was a barn cat too! I hope I am wrong about her and she tames down quickly. I’m look8 g forward to your future videos.
Hi Cheryl. Thanks for watching! Dollie is so funny but we rescued her when she was just a few weeks old. I don't think she even really remembers being outside. When we hold the door open she actually gets a little fearful and runs away. But, I do need to get her into the vet to be fixed. I think that's half the problem but she finally hit the weight requirement. I do have an orange cat that loves to go outside. It's so funny because she comes when you call her, like a dog would. It makes me laugh! I hope you got some good ideas for patterns..I know I'm always enabled by floss tuber!
What a find on the Lemonade stitchery. Harvest
My mom was working on the life is lemons in probably the 80s. I'm pretty sure it was a printed cross stitch, and probably purchased at a Ben Franklin 10cent store. I am pretty sure I have the pattern and unfinished piece somewhere.... But I may not find it for a bit. But if I do I'll let you know! Oz Harvest Summer Nice floss Tube!
Enjoy your floss tube plus the kittys!
Dear Erica, I have just found your flosstube and enjoyed it greatly. Needles n' Hoops used to produce kits for stamped cross stitch on linen. If you look carefully at the stitched piece you may be able to see the stamping beneath the embroidery thread. Best wishes from England, Linda.
Hi Linda. Thank you so much for that information. Unfortunately the frame for that piece is falling apart so I will be replacing it. When I take it apart I will look to see if I can see the stamped pattern a bit. My very first cross stitch was a stamped kit my mom bought me. I remember there being racks of stamped patterns printed on fabric. I loved going it that store and looking at all the options.
Enjoyed your FT! Love your cats. I too have a feline domestic terrorist so I understand what you are dealing with. I have always loved the Wizard of Oz. I grew up without a tv & would always go to a relatives house to watch it every year.
I really like the Light Nougat for your sampler! ❤ Also the Loose Feathers would look gorgeous on the Wren linen.

Leave your stitches in Spring Fling!!! Like you said, nobody likes to frog... it wouldn't have been noticed if you hadn't mentioned it!!! Love your finishes, you are doing great!!! I absolutely love the Pink Sparrow... I have noticed that the picture is so faded in comparison to everybody's progress on this chart! The Nougat fabric is beautiful... I say if your gut is excited about it, then do it... I have the same thoughts on things I have decided like that and they are perfect!!! I had thoughts on your Oz... it brings back childhood memories, I got the castle for Christmas when I was little!
Hi Janet! I agree with the pattern being so faded compared to the actual stitch. I don't know if o would have picked that pattern off I hadn't seen someone else's work and fallen in love with it. Thank goodness for flosstube so I can see all the things I might normally pass up on. Although my wallet might hate me for it, lol.
Erica, Thanks for another wonderful video. Your WIP's are beautiful. Go with your gut on selecting fabric for Eliza Bell Cox. I think the thread colors would pop on that mocha fabric. Take care. Best, K
Thank you so much again for the mention .. I think a lot of people made their way to my channel because of it. I do love the fabric color and I'm dying to start stitching that piece It's taking all my self-control to wait, lol
I like your pillow finishes with the envelope back and pillow insert. 🪡🪡🪡
Thank you! It’s the easiest for me to do and I think it looks nice overall. Thank you for watching my videos
I adore the vintage stitching piece. Beautiful stitching. I wanted to stitch that Wizard of Oz piece too!
Hello, I’m so glad I found your channel. I enjoyed seeing all your wips. I loved your bee skep and bunny pillow. It came out awesome! Owl Forest has wonderful designs, including The Wizard of Oz.
I loved watching the wizard of Oz when I was growing up and still enjoy watching oz with the grands. Thanks for taking time to share your stitchy progress with us.
Love your pillow finishes and WIPs! Your kitten and cat are adorable. The lemonade stitch is a treasure and will look great in your kids playroom. Happy Stitching.
We watched the Wizard of Oz every year when I was a child. It seems as though it was aired on tv around Christmas time which seems funny to me. Halloween would be ideal.🐱👻👩🎤🎃 My sweet grand kitties carry around their mama's cross stitch pillows as well, however she is lucky as they don't chew them. Best wishes on the refinish, but you could leave it because the story is precious.😊
Loved your video and finishing! Leave the Spring Fling stitches in, don't frog. No one will notice the difference in threads used. We all remember our mistakes in stitching. Cute kitties.
I watched Wizard of Oz every Summer at my grandmas. Fond memories for me.
I remember as a child being so excited when the annual playing of the Wizard of Oz came on tv. I enjoy all seasons but harvest is my favorite.
Thanks for showing your beautiful stitching. Always enjoy seeing what you stitch. I would like to stitch the Oaz pattern.
Hi! Thanks for watching. But do me a favor and either edit your comment or add a new comment with Oz spelled Oz. You added an a in the word and I want you to have a chance at winning but the search will only pickup Oz. Thanks!
Oz would be great. Summer is my favorite season. Harvest time is busy. Beautiful stitching.
Lovely Flosstube! The cats are adorable! Just lost my 10 year old, Holly, and your Maggie reminded me so much of her! Thank you for the generous giveaway chance! Oz. Summer.
I love your stitching! I added to my wants after watching your video! I love the fabrics you picked! Oh my, that lemonade cross stitch is darling! Oz, Harvest.
Your Spring Fling looks beautiful just the way it is… why frog when you don’t have to. Loved all the Brenda Gervais patterns you have and can’t understand why I’ve never stitched one of her patterns, but that will certainly change in the future. Really enjoyed watching you today, and will be checking back in the future.
I ordered from Misty Purcel, her new charts. Harvest.
Love your finishes and all your projects. Can’t wait for summer to be here. 🍀 Have a great week.
Just found your flosstube. You should not feel bad about your finishing. It looks great! Dollie looks so ornery! LOL Enjoy her antics!
Just discover your flosstube, love your stitching and projects. OZ and Crocette a gogo charts are very nice. Take care
I do not know the pattern of that cute summer lemonade stand cross stitch. It is cute! I see why you ordered it. I suspect that it might have been a printed design and one would just cover the x's with floss. But, I do not know for certain. I do love Prairie Schooler patterns and those harvest designs work as decor for a few months! This winter has been crazy... I'll be glad when spring arrives. Nice work on your finishing! It's very impressive.
Just discovered your channel, love how are you finished the Liz Matthew pattern! I may be copying this… I hate sewing and finishing as well! The bells are stunning on your other pillow as will!
Thank you for sharing! I am waiting on the pink sparkle chart- I ordered it a few days ago but I won’t start it until I finish another sampler first🙄😂too many samplers that I want to stitch! Happy stitching!
I loved all of your pieces, you are your own worst critic 😂, they are just adorable. ❤️🐈⬛
Thank you for your relaxing video. Your pieces are beautiful. I love your kitties! And I would love to stitch Oz! It brings memories of Judy Garland to mind!☺️ That gives you an idea of how old I am! 🤣Have a blessed day!
I love to watch your videos and what you’re stitching. Every year we would watch the Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan. They usually came on at the same time of year
Your finishes are all so pretty and I love how you finish your pillows. The lemonade piece is cute and perfect for a playroon. It's so nice that you found an older piece like that and giving it a good home. I very much enjoyed seeing all your beautiful projects. Thank you for another wonderful video.
Love the wizard of oz and harvest. Great flosstube thank you!
I don't think the pinkish linen is the right fit for your sampler, I'd like to see something in the light grey family. Oh kittens! Harvest is my favorite season and I love the turkey. Thank you for your great videos.
Your finishes are great. You do have a talent. Wizard of oz is one of my daughter’s and grand daughters collections. Harvest is also very nice.
I love watching the Wizard of Oz every year at Harvest time. Loose feathers would look great on the Wren.
Loved seeing the older cross stitch lemonade stitched piece. Harvest..
It was so nice to get to know you Erica! You are so lovely. Your projects are all beautiful. The little bench finish is just the cutest, and I love how you finish your pillows. That 3 dimensional Santa is amazing and the sweet vintage piece is such a great find!
Oh thank you Jenni, you are too kind. I can't wait until May to get my first bag. I've been looking for some without vinyl and yours look amazing. Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful finishes, love the little Christmas pillows, they are lovely❤😊
I think you did a great job on those pillows you do know how to sew they look great the I would love to go to Oz one day the harvest will be upon us before you know it and I really cannot wait for summer to be here. I am so over this winter weather. Have a great one take care.
Would love to stitch the oz pattern plus the silk floss!
Wonderful finishes - thank you for sharing! I have several market releases I would like - most especially Plum Street Samplers Jesus Loves Me. I really need to slow down on my pattern collection - I'm not going to live to be 150 in order to stitch all of them! Oz, Summer. Have a wonderful week!
Haha..me too Janice, me too!
I love your flosstube! I love that Lemonade piece so much! The older pieces are very sweet in their design.
My daughter and I used to watch Wizard of Oz all the time. Oh, memories!
I didn’t miss winter here this year, we only had a couple of snow days.
So I am excited for summer to arrive as my husband loves to garden, which means fresh vegetables!
He always has such a huge harvest that we have to share with the neighbors!
Hi! That is so nice you share with your neighbors..I bet they love the fresh vegetables. I am definitely going to research that lemonade piece some more to see what I can find out. So many people who watched the video loved it. I would love to be able to find the pattern.
A suggestion for you kitten: I put a small basket full of little balls and tiny stuffed toys at the base of my cat tower. My cat loves picking out a toy to play with and even has a favorite, Paddington Bear teddy bear. She carried it around the house and sleeps with it like it's a kitten. Oz, summer & harvest
What an adorable idea! I think Dollie would love a basket of toys. We have one for the dogs so why not for the kitties?!
That lemonade cross stitch is SO CUTE. I have you tried a google lens search? First think I thoguht was how cute would it be to have that pattern seasonally. Like change it winter and get your pond and cocoa bar in the pattern? and apple cider in fall!
Oh my gosh.. that is a fantastic idea! Love the thought of the cocoa bar or cider stand in that stitch. 🩷🩷 I haven't heard of Google lens but I'm going to look it up, lol.
Love all of your finishes for someone who doesn’t like to finish I think you did a great job. I have a question in one of your videos you had a project With a large piece of fabric rolled up with two magnets on a flexible plastic rod what is that called and where did you get it? I have never seen the mystery pattern but like you I love it if you ever find anything about the pattern I’d be interested in buying a copy. 😊
Hi Diane. Thank you so much for watching. Those magnets are called magnetic silicone ties. The ones I purchased are from Amazon and they are the Smart and Cool brand. There are all different brands though. I just added the link to the description box for you. But, when I originally purchased them they were about $12. Now they are $18 which is crazy. Amazon's prices can fluctuate so keep v an eye on the price. There are purge brands that are less pricey but I haven't tried those. And yes! If I find anything out about that lemonade patten I will definitely let you know. Everyone should be able to enjoy that sweetness!
OZ, SUMMER, HARVEST
Oh, that lemonade piece is just adorable! I can see why you’re obsessed with it. And the back is so cute, too!
Oz please❤
All your pillows look beautiful! Your projects are so cute. I think everyone is ready for spring! You have been very busy finishing.
Keep your eyes on that little kitten, she is so cute! Oz!
Thank you for your flosstubes! Wizard of Oz brings back memories.
Enjoyed your video !! Great projects
Beautiful finishes
