Thank you very much for sharing your experience at Nicola’s workshop/Guild Retreat! It must have been wonderful. I know that all the attendees treasure their time there. 🥰
I was in Little Rock Wednesday - Friday for my Grandson’s graduation from elementary school. Of course I visited Shepherds Needle. Everyone is so helpful there!
Love Lets Pray, I have stitched Paula Vaughn, I do not do all the back stitching myself. Crowning Glory is beautiful, oh my gosh love that bag, her bags are amazing. I collect vintage scissors, love the Scottish Sampler. Lovely practice stitches' love the thread bling holder, the mug is adorable as are the other gifts, you are Blessed with gifts, the needlebook is sweet. love the bone fish, thank-you for an amazing video.
It's so wonderful to see you again! ❤ That retreat is in my bucket list!!! I would absolutely love love to meet you! This coming year however I'll be going through a breast cancer journey, so it will have to wait a few years.😢 But I do know that as I'm sitting with chemo drugs going through me I will most definitely be watching flosstube. Again love you sister in Christ!
Well, that was great! And yes I'm one if those who loves listening to your flosstubes no matter how long!😂 ❤ Can't wait till Friday! Hope your hubby is doing well!
What a blessing you are Shelly! Wonderful stories and examples of how we are so blessed to enjoy this heritage of stitching together! Thank you, thank you for sharing!
Great to see your smiling face, my friend! What a pleasure to get to attend the Queen City Sampler Guild Retreat with you! Thank you so much for the shout out. That means so much to me. When I finish setting up my space, I will be filming. Take care and Happy Stitching!
Wow! I can’t even imagine the awe that everyone must have felt being at that special retreat! A once in a lifetime, precious event!! A historical moment! You captured it so well and it shines a more meaningful light on our stitching that we love so much! Thank you for sharing your passion!
What an incredible retreat, so glad that you shared and extended the ‘charge’ to all of us watching. People who appreciate the fiber arts are, in my experience, the kindest humans. I feel blessed to be a part of the community and, if presented with an opportunity, I will happily share the skill with anyone who expresses interest🪡🧵❤️
Shelly, Thank you for this wonderful review of the QCSG retreat with Nicola Parkman. You were very thorough. It was so nice to meet you in person for the first time. You are such a wonderful addition to our stitching community. Happy stitching. Best, K
Please don't apologize for a long video. We love all you share. Also I struggle with feeling guilty sitting and stitching but when I watch you and stitch I don't telling myself I deserve sitting for one floss tube... longer the better....haha.... again we think of you as our friend spending the afternoon with us.
Really wonderful description f your time at your retreat. Sounds like an awesome time was had by all. Thank you so very much for sharing this. Happy stitching. ❤️🌻👍🏼
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us. I know how you needed some down time. One month to the day after my husband turned 50 he had his first heart attack. We went from the ER Dr saying it was maybe an attack to observation overnight. Then an hour later he was scheduled for 5 bi pass surgery. But he lived to be 82 before I lost him. He is singing praises in heaven now with a new body.
Bravo 👏 to you for sharing such a great retreat memory . I Thank you 🙏 it’s was nice to see your happiness shine through of enjoyment 🤗. Many blessings 🙏🙏to you can’t wait for the next video 🤗✌️
I thoroughly enjoy your channel and value you as a person and needleworker! You bring so much to our community and to the world as a whole. My heart is happy that you have so many friendships to share this passion with. There’s a lot of us that aren’t as fortunate and it’s nice to see others build those relationships that are like minded. ❤ Are you attending Summer School at the Attic this August?
You did a fantastic job sharing the experience of the retreat. It was my very first retreat and meeting Nicola was wonderful and somethings I never thought I'd be able to do.
Fun video, wow that sounded like a fantastic retreat, with cherished memories, great to learn more, I love specialty stitches. ... and lol, I remember the M&M's story.
Shelly I am moved to tears with this video. Thank You so much for giving us this experience of your retreat. I heard much and learned much. I want to start learning and doing some of these moving and telling samplers. Wondering how would I get started. I’ve always been an Aida girl. I also loved your video about linens and even weaves. My eyes are not as sharp as they were when younger but you mentioned we have to let our eyes adjust to the smaller holes. Which sampler would you recommend for beginners. ? Again thank You for sharing. This made my day complete.
Shellie, you captured so much of what I felt about that retreat, too - and I am a total newcomer to the QCSG and still had some of the same experiences. Thanks for this video.
HI Shellie - always glad to see your videos - thanks for sharing! Wow - you look so pretty and springy with your blouse. I hope your neck/back injury is all better now, and also your husband is back on the mend! Sounds like a fun retreat - I'm sure you definitely needed that time for yourself, thanks for sharing the experience! Have a relaxing Memorial Day weekend :-)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and encouraging us all! What beautiful treasures you were gifted by such talented women! I could only find references to Beth re: being a model stitcher, etc -- could not find any source to possibly purchase something she has made. Do you know if she does sell online on any platform? Can't wait to see your finished sampler in the future and am looking forward to seeing your next video! Happy stitching! xoxo
I love your videos, no matter the length. Thanks for sharing. I love your excitement. I will see you later this week for part 2. I have a question for you - Will the Sulky Petites fit in the thread pods?
To wax or not to wax. I have heard so many answers. Then do you wax cotton or just silk? Will the floss fade or not ? I am so confused could you dear Shelly explain. You are my favorite guru and I have learned so much from you. Thank you for your help.
I’m a waxer I wax all threads I pass mine over the wax once I use 100% bees wax And have never had a single problem If you have watched the video where I discuss silk and the one I speak about other threads I tell that back before the spinning wheel was invented in the 1700’s thread was produced by hand spinning it with a hand spindle and it was an arduous task. They waxed all of those threads to make them stable and so they would maintained their continuity. I hope this gives you a little confidence in your choice to wax or not. Neither is wrong. Your the boss of your thread😊
Thank you very much for sharing your experience at Nicola’s workshop/Guild Retreat! It must have been wonderful. I know that all the attendees treasure their time there. 🥰

Hi Janice,
On my next episode I will speak directly to this topic and show some examples
Thank you for your kind words and for watching!!

They absolutely will!!
Sorry not the longer the better. I watch when I see they’re shorter and I still watch at 1.25 or 1.5 speed.
To wax or not to wax. I have heard so many answers. Then do you wax cotton or just silk? Will the floss fade or not ? I am so confused could you dear Shelly explain. You are my favorite guru and I have learned so much from you. Thank you for your help.
I’m a waxer
I wax all threads
I pass mine over the wax once
I use 100% bees wax
And have never had a single problem
If you have watched the video where I discuss silk and the one I speak about other threads I tell that back before the spinning wheel was invented in the 1700’s thread was produced by hand spinning it with a hand spindle and it was an arduous task.

Your the boss of your thread😊
