Good day, you have done a lot of stitches. I didn’t know Aida came in a linen look. I plan on buying some. With the large tree white and blue floss, could add small blue birds or a blue tope swing? Very impressed with your two drawstring bags. Vonna Pfeiffer has wonderful tutorials on a multitude of finishes. She’s very generous sharing her talents.
Thank you Nancy. I finished the beach project, but your idea of a swing makes me want to take a look at it again to see if I can stitch that in. That would be so cute! I love Vonna, she is so creative and so clear that even I as a beginner can follow along. Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Beautiful stitching! I enjoyed hearing about your Holiday and I hope it's all been good. We just recently went to British Columbia, Canada. I did stitch l, but not a lot, but I finished my piece before I got home. Your drawstring bags are nice. Congratulations on figuring out how to make them. Your teacup is so beautiful! I like to drink tea and in Memphis we only have 1 tea shop. When we went to British Columbia tea shops were everywhere! I had no idea you could buy so many loose leaf teas. I enjoy tea with stitching. I look forward to your next video and seeing all you have accomplished.
Only one tea shop, I wouldn't know what to do with myself ;). We have plenty shops and they all have their own blends, so it is always a suprise what I come home with. Happy stitching!
Stitching looks great. You have done a lot while you have been on your holiday. Your sewing project for your floss looks good. Enjoy the rest of your time that you are off from work.
Hello! Thanks for another enjoyable video. I always love seeing what you're up to. I know you don't like the tree in the lighthouse piece, but it reminds me of the big windblown trees you see along some coasts. They're beautiful in their own way. I hope the rest of your time off doesn't go by too fast!
Lovely to see all your holiday progress, and well done on sewing all the adorable little bags! So cute! I'm looking forward to seeing your wooden sewing box project progress as I found a similar one in a charity shop a few months ago. Mine has lids on the top drawers with little knobs but I'm now thinking of how I could stitch something with a black centre to fit round them. Maybe a biscornu pattern would work - double inspiration from your flosstubes! Enjoy the rest of the summer, Kim ❤
I love that! Please do sent me a picture if you decide to refurbish your sewing box! I would love to see it. I have mine half finished now, so progress :). Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Thank you so much and I am so happy you enjoyed some quiet time with a bit of stitching and a cup of coffee. Mums deserve time like that ;). I appreciate you visit. Wishing you a lovely weekend!
You’re having a great holiday! Your finishes are beautiful. The biscornu you completed is amazing - the bags you made are perfect to hold your floss. You are mastering your sewing machine, too. I always enjoy seeing all the different projects you are stitching on. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kindness! Not yet mastering my sewing machine, but I do enjoy trying different things now and then. And with such lovely bags as the outcome it only invites me to sew more often. Thank you for watching and I wish you a lovely weekend! Happy stitching
Hello! I am so happy to hear that you had a lovely holiday. Your pieces are beautiful! You have a wonderful eye for choosing colours. Watching this video was so relaxing and enjoyable😊 it is quite obvious that you have a love for stitching. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your finished work. Enjoy your next trip 😃
Thank you so much! I love choosing and working with colours. Makes my heart happy :). Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. I appreciate your visit! Wishing you a lovely weekend! Happy stitching
Hello! I’m new to your Flosstube and I really enjoyed seeing your projects and finishes. The biscornu is beautiful! I love the roses you’re planning to use for the top of the sewing basket. You have a nice variety of projects.
You are so welcome on my channel! I appreciate your visit. I like stitching different things and different styles, keeps me engaged I guess ;). Wishing you a lovely weekend, hopefully with some stitchy time!
Hanneke… I just love watching your videos..so pleasant to listen to..I finally made it to Colour and Cotton! So hope to make it to the post office this week 😊…. Thanks again for sharing your time and talents!
So good to find you in the comments 😀. Hope you are well and enjoying the pretty lilacs. Am looking forward to the happy mail, although of course it is way too kind! Hope you found plenty pretty things just for you! Happy stitching!
Het klinkt alsof een je heerlijke vakantie al heb gehad! En wat een hoop geborduurd, fijn! Mooie finishes en die Olympische kabouters zijn grappig zeg. Nog een fijne vakantie en tot gauw. Happy stitching ❤
De vakantie gaat veel te snel voorbij ;). Voor we het weten is het weer voorbij. Maar nu eerst nog een weekje lekker borduren, wat wil een mens nog meer. Ik wens je een fijn weekend toe!
It's funny, I googled which countries had the most athletes: China, USA & Australia = more athletes changes the odds, but I cheered for all the small countries. I was so proud for each and every athlete. I shed lots of tears, mostly happy. I don't enjoy seeing them wreck their bikes or fall and get hurt❤
I always get excited when I see you have put out another video. I love your projects, and while I'm just commenting a few days after it's release, I did watch it within hours of its release. First though, I need to apologize. I completely forgot to go back and thank you after the previous video, for showing the maps, and where you are vs where you travel to. I loved that info. I also noticed one or two maps this time. Thank you for hearing my suggestion. I love your biscornu finish and your tablecloth. I also love the Red and Black project, and am wondering if you had gotten the pattern as a PDF from an Etsy shop or website, or if it is a paper pattern? I found it was available again as a paper chart, but shipping to Canada was going to be approximately $24. Ouch! You showed a couple of blue/green flosses at the end of your video. The Variations floss (numbered in the low 4000s) has a shorter colour length as you move through the skein, vs the original Variegated (numbers below and just above 100). I also wanted to make you aware, if you weren't already, that DMC has a breakdown on their website of the colours that are in each of the flosses in their Variations line, and also in their Coloris line. If you aren't able to find it, I'll send you the info via email.
Thank you so much and no need to apologise! I thought putting in the little maps was such a good idea! My red and black project is a paper pattern and I am not sure where I purchased it from. I am not sure if they do PDF, perhaps if you email the company UB Designs and let them know what you are looking for, they might be willing to help. Thanks for explaining the different flosses to me, I didnt realise there was even a different one called variations floss. I hope to use it one day, am just looking for the right project. I have the colour book from DMC, but have to admit I only look at the regular Dmc colours ;). Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Thank you so much! I sometimes wonder if I chat to much and share too much beyond the stitching, but I am happy to hear you enjoy those bits :). Wishing you a lovely weekend!
I love your flosstubes. Your stitching is beautiful. The biscoru is so pretty and the tablecloth will be a pretty addition to your Christmas decor. Great job on your sewing projects. Your pouches are cute, you are on a roll. Safe travel to Belgium.
Your finishes are so beautiful. You gave me the best birthday gift ever. Your FlossTube came on my birthday and I love your channel so much so thank you for filming on the 8th. I am so glad that you decided to continue with the Landmarks piece. It is very Stunning. I thought the tree that you dislike was sand. That is what it looks like to me from the way you are showing it and how the light is going onto it. The tree truck looks like a road leading up to the sandy beach. The thing you put in between your fabric pieces is either called Craft Fuse or Interfacing. I use to work at JoAnn Fabrics and we sold a lot of these 2 things to make craft bags & clothing. You did a great job on making your bag. For my birthday start I am working in Summer Quaker on 20-count Ivory aida with 2 over 1. The stitches are so beautiful but so tiny at the same time. I just bought from 123 stitch Holly Jolly Santa by Tiny Modernist. It is the cutest Santa I have ever seen. Happy Stitching.
Thank you so much and happy birthday to you! I hope you had a lovely day and have been properly spoiled! Isn't it interesting that you see sand and I see a tree? I guess that makes it art and every interpretation is good ;). Interfacing indeed. I also had the word batting come to me after the flosstube. Happy stitching on your lovely projects!
Hoi Hanneke, wat een fijne video weer, dankjewel! Leuk om te horen waar je overal heen bent gereisd in onze mooie 🇳🇱 landje. Ik vind het ‘primitive’ patroon erg mooi als afwisseling. Tot de volgende keer!
Dank je wel Yvonne. Elke keer als ik weer ergens in nederland ben realiseer ik me dat ween prachtig landje hebben! Het primitive patroon heb ik al klaar, was een heerlijk patroontje om aan te werken, nu nadenken over hoe ik het wel afmaken. Ik wens je een fijn weekend toe!
Hanneke you've brightened my day thank you. It's our 49th Wedding Anniversary today and I've got a gastric bug so a quieter day than planned and I so enjoyed seeing your projects and hearing about your holiday so far. Enjoy Belgium.
So sorry to hear you were not well on such a special day! I hope you feel better now and would like to wish you a happy anniversary! Take care and happy stitching!
Thank you so much for visiting with me. I do appreciate that! Isn't it a lovely time to be able to stitch on things like Halloween and Christmas? Fall and winter are my favourite seasons, so I am looking forward to the coming months. Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Your projects are all so pretty! I’ve used Cottage Garden Threads quite a bit and they are lovely to stitch with. I can’t wait to see your sewing box all finished. It will be beautiful.
Thank you so much! The sewing box is half done :), so before we know it I'll have it done. It is turning out so lovely. I look forward to trying out CGT, the feel of it is very nice so that bodes well. Thank you for watching, I do appreciate it!
I really enjoyed this program of yours. My heart was taken with your photographs of your travels. I would really love to live in the Netherlands. I have visited four times. Your agricultural countryside looks so charming and well tended to me. And as a gardener I can sympathize with Tulipmania! I see what you mean about the blue and white piece with the tree. I think the tree is gorgeous and one of the prettiest things I've seen stitched, but compared to the rest of the piece it is much more detailed while the rest is simpler. At the bottom scene it makes sense since it is much more in the foreground so the distance would look less detailed but it is different in style than the top half. However I would not take it out! I also love your cabbage rose pieces. And I love the white on blue band sampler. And the biscornu. lol I think we have similar tastes! :) Best wishes from Kim in Iowa
Thank you so much Kim! I appreciate your kind words and lovely to hear that we have similar taste in cross stitch projects. Also lovely to hear that you enjoy your visits to the Netherlands! I also like our countryside with the well maintained farm fields and open sky :). Perhaps you have already visited, but if not you should go and see the bollenstreek when all teh tulips are in full bloom. It is like a fairytale. Happy stitching!
Dear Hanneke, I'm just getting ready to go on holiday and have already a bunch of WIPs I want to take with me, so it was nice to hear that you also travel with a good variety of projects. Beautiful stitching, adorable pouches. Thanks for the nice video! Have a great second half of your holiday, and have fun stitching and sewing and shopping and doing all the fun things! Zsófi
Hi Zsofi, so lovely to hear from you again. You are probably enjoying your holiday now, so I wish you a lovely time! And I hope you brought plenty projects with you so you can pick and chose what you will be working on. Happy stitching!
Loved watching all your progress while stitching on Spring Quaker by Lila’s Studio. Beautiful finishes! My suggestion for the Gnome Olympics piece is to make a project bag out of it! Happy Stitching!
Thank you so much and a gnomes project bag sounds like something I would love :). So that is going on my list. Happy stitching on your beautiful Quaker project. Such a lovely design!
Dear Hanneke, I so enjoyed seeing all your lovely projects. Thank you for sharing your love of stitching and travel with us. If you stitch the rose again for the top of the work box you could mirror the design. Just photograph the chart on your ipad and flip the image. Vonna Pfeiffer, The Twisted Stitcher, has a tutorial for a project envelope without a zip which you may find useful. Fabric toggles are a nice finishing touch to rice bag drawstrings. I shall try to find the tutorial I have used previously for Japanese fabric 'flower' toggles. Once again, thank you. Your gentle demeanour makes for lovely viewing. You may enjoy Paula who makes flosstubes by the name of The Snail Garden. Take care, Linda.
Thank you again Linda! Your suggestion on mirroring the design is something I am currenly thinking about. I have finished the first half of the box and am not sure if a mirror image is necessary. We'll see what I end up doing ;). I have looked up the envelop bag from Vonna and do like that one. So next time when I have a sudden urge to sew I might just try one. Happy stitching!
Wat leuk zijn je drawstring bags geworden. In een ander commentaar is al verwezen naar de tutorial van Vonna Pfeiffer, voor een projectbag zonder rits. Fijne vakantie verder! Groetjes, Evelien
Greetings from Canada! First time here and I love all your pattern choices! The roses are beautiful! I really liked the project "Bless this House" it is my kinda style. I think one of my favorites is Pili de lin Pulsion, not sure if that's correct, and I may have to stitch that as well if I can find it! You're very inspiring and I enjoyed watching and listening. Will tune in again in the future. Have you done any Dutch samplers?? Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome to my channel! I appreciate your visit! I loved Bless this House so much that it is already finished ;). I flew through it! The one you are mentioning is from Lin Pulsion, that is her name on Etsy. The piece it called Petit Carre. Hope you'll find it, it is such a relaxing stitch! I have not done any Dutch Samplers yet. They are not really my style, but perhaps one day I'll find one I want to start. We'll see. Happy stitching!
Hello again, Hanneke! I have been thinking about making a biscornu for the first time, since I saw yours last time! I found the MFE collection that you used, but I was wondering, does it give instructions as to how you put together the stitched biscornu? Or did you use a tutorial elsewhere? You are very enabling, as always! Enjoy the last two weeks of your holiday! Alison x
Hi Alison, the pattern does not provide an explanation on how to put it together, but there are plenty youtube tutorials that will be more that clear! I used one of them too ;) and putting it together really is very easy! But great fun! Happy stitching
Hi Hanneke, everything is gorgeous always!. Really enjoy you so very much. Love this gromes may have to do🤭. What type of tape do you use on your fabric and do you stitch in hand or hoop, stand. ❤ thanks
Thank you so much! I use painters tape on my fabric and I really like this quick solution. However, I do believe some advise against it as the glue may damage the fabric in the long term. I stitch in hand and do not use anything, no hoop, no stand or anything else. Happy stitching!
Thanks for watching. Do you mean the one for the sewing box? That one is the rose band sampler. You will find all the names and designers in the description box. Happy stitching
Please do not put red as the backing on the table cloth. Red fabric has a tendency to run into other fabrics when they are washed. The same can be said of blue as well. The table cloth is delightful.😊
Hi Lisanne, wat leuk om zo van je te horen! Zo leuk om je tegen te komen en mocht het nog eens voorkomen dan hoor ik graag wat ji zoal borduurt :). Happy stitching!
De biscornu is prachtig. En dat klinkt als een super vakantie. Veel handwerkplezier
I was caught up on watching my flosstubers so you were suggested and I’m so glad. Your stitching is beautiful! I love everything you are working on!
Thank you so much for visiting my channel. I do appreciate it! Wishing you a lovely weekend, hopefully with plenty of stitchy time!
The gnomes are so adorable! I put the video on pause and looked at each part of the design!
Same with the landmarks... gorgeous!
Thank you so much! I loved those little gnomes, have just started the christmas gnomes :). Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Thank you Kathy! Wishing you a lovely weekend!
You have some beautiful projects, thank you for sharing your progress. Your new cup and saucer are beautiful. Enjoy the rest of your holiday 😊
Thank you so much. Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Gorgeous work! Your voice is so soft and soothing. I've enjoyed a relaxing cup of coffee and stitching with you while my baby was napping.
Thank you so much and I am so happy you enjoyed some quiet time with a bit of stitching and a cup of coffee. Mums deserve time like that ;). I appreciate you visit. Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Thank you so much! I appreciate your visit! Happy stitching

So sorry to hear you were not well on such a special day! I hope you feel better now and would like to wish you a happy anniversary! Take care and happy stitching!
All your pieces are beautiful!
Thank you so much for this lovely comment. Happy stitching!
Hanneke I love your stitching and your floss bags look like a great success! Enjoy the rest of your holiday and travels! 🪡🧵☮️❤️
Thank you so much! I appreciate your very kind comment! Wishing you a lovely weekend with hopefully plenty of time to do some stitching!
Happy to have found you! Your stitching is beautiful and the bags you made are adorable! I’m working on Halloween now and jumping into Christmas soon.

Greetings from Canada! First time here and I love all your pattern choices! The roses are beautiful! I really liked the project "Bless this House" it is my kinda style. I think one of my favorites is Pili de lin Pulsion, not sure if that's correct, and I may have to stitch that as well if I can find it! You're very inspiring and I enjoyed watching and listening. Will tune in again in the future. Have you done any Dutch samplers?? Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome to my channel! I appreciate your visit! I loved Bless this House so much that it is already finished ;). I flew through it! The one you are mentioning is from Lin Pulsion, that is her name on Etsy. The piece it called Petit Carre. Hope you'll find it, it is such a relaxing stitch! I have not done any Dutch Samplers yet. They are not really my style, but perhaps one day I'll find one I want to start. We'll see. Happy stitching!
Hello again, Hanneke! I have been thinking about making a biscornu for the first time, since I saw yours last time! I found the MFE collection that you used, but I was wondering, does it give instructions as to how you put together the stitched biscornu? Or did you use a tutorial elsewhere? You are very enabling, as always! Enjoy the last two weeks of your holiday! Alison x
Hi Alison, the pattern does not provide an explanation on how to put it together, but there are plenty youtube tutorials that will be more that clear! I used one of them too ;) and putting it together really is very easy! But great fun! Happy stitching
Hi Hanneke, everything is gorgeous always!. Really enjoy you so very much. Love this gromes may have to do🤭. What type of tape do you use on your fabric and do you stitch in hand or hoop, stand. ❤ thanks
Thank you so much! I use painters tape on my fabric and I really like this quick solution. However, I do believe some advise against it as the glue may damage the fabric in the long term. I stitch in hand and do not use anything, no hoop, no stand or anything else. Happy stitching!
Lovely flosstube. May i ask what is the name of the rose pattern? Thank you.
Thanks for watching. Do you mean the one for the sewing box? That one is the rose band sampler. You will find all the names and designers in the description box. Happy stitching
Dear Hanneke, I have sent you an email explaining how to make fabric toggles. Enjoy.
Please do not put red as the backing on the table cloth. Red fabric has a tendency to run into other fabrics when they are washed. The same can be said of blue as well. The table cloth is delightful.😊
Thank you so much and I won't :). I think it is fine with just the interfacing. Happy stitching
Greetings from the fellow third class train traveller 🛤️ het was leuk om even te praten!
Hi Lisanne, wat leuk om zo van je te horen! Zo leuk om je tegen te komen en mocht het nog eens voorkomen dan hoor ik graag wat ji zoal borduurt :). Happy stitching!
