Thank you for watching 👀
Emma, it was lovely to see you at the Chatelaine Retreat and your progress. Great video and haul 😊
Thank you Suzy and same to you and your huge smile lighting up the room 🤗 xx
Thank you, Emma, for keeping me entertained and inspired while wading through the world's biggest pile of ironing. I'm a new subscriber thanks to Sally (Flossysewsandgrows) so I'm off to catch up on your earlier episodes. Always a treat to find a new flosstuber!
My favourite seaside beach has to be Embleton on the NorthEast coast; many happy memories of a summer holiday there and playing cricket in the fog with the kids. Strangely we had the whole beach to ourselves. Or as far as we could see... 😄 Lovely stitching, Kim ❤
Hello Kim and thanks so much for joining me! Glad to be of service with the ironing 😂 Sally is the best 🥰 Embleton sounds lovely, I really love the North East! You’ll see in one of my videos I talk about a little trip to Holy Island 😍 Emma x
Wow the Chatelaine! Another fab video thank you. My favourite seaside town is Littlehampton. Happy memories there 💕
Thank you so much Kirsti ☺️ It’s always the memories isn’t it 💞💞💞
You are very welcome! 😊 (said that several times whilst watching!) Fab video and lovely finishes and WIPs! 😁
You’re the best 🙌🏼🫶🏼 thank you Lynn 🥰
Love your mini me and glad you persevered! You were definitely robbed at the show, your pieces were fab! Love all your haul too. My favourite seaside place is definitely Rye on the Sussex coast, loads of fab little antique shops and the best hot chocolate shop ever! ❤
Thank you Vicky, that’s too kind!! I like the sound of the hot chocolate shop ☕️😍🥰 Thanks so much for watching 😘 Emma x
Fabulous video great to see you as always at the chatelaine retreat😊 love Bridlington because of childhood memories ❤
Thanks Lesley, you too 💗🥰 Just write another sentence with the special word (🌊🏖️)!!! Wish we could do the weekend all over again this weekend! 🫶🏼 🪡🧵Emma x
That little dresser fridge magnet was a freebie in the early 1990's from a magazine called 'Needlecraft', I believe. I stitched it for my parents' fridge. They live in Weston Super Mare, which is my favourite coastal town to visit, simply because they live there. I don't need to win the chart as I already have it! But I did watch you 'til the very end.
Ah wow! Thank you so much for the info, how lovely ☺️ You deserve an award for watching me waffle till the very end 😂 Emma x
Was lovely meeting you at Wrexham and lovely stitching too 😍. I love the Chatelaine! My favourite seaside spot is probably Bridlington, lots of memories from when I was a kid
You too! Can’t wait for next year 😊 Bridlington 🙌🏼 been there once or twice. Thanks so much for watching 💞
Great video! Good luck with the house!
Thank you Gabriela! Happy with how the Greenhouse is turning out on that fabric? Hope your doggos are keeping cool 😎
Love your wips! Queen of thread is looking so good and the chatelaine is just gorgeous! Retreats look so much fun. My happy place is next to the sea but my favourite seaside spot isn’t such a great area but I’ve got to go with Clacton or Southend because it’s filled with such happy memories growing up. If you go with in the world then son bou. It’s just the most beautiful beach and sky blue water 🩵
Thank you so much Gemma ☺️ I really need to push on with the border on Queen of Thread ❤️ It’s definitely the happy memories attached to the place isn’t it? Happy Stitching 🪡🧵
Hi Emma! Your mini me is fabulous! You had me in tucks talking about your struggles with her . The fridge magnet made by your Auntie I’m sure was in the same magazine that I stitched the enclosed picture from years ago. I still have the magazine at home so when I’m home I’ll send you the details . 😊

It is sooo lovely to see you my gorgeous friend! It seems so long ago since Wrexham and I can't wait to see you on Saturday! My favourite seaside is Dinas Dinlle near Caernarfon just because there are so many memories I have there over the years. Love that Barbara Ana you had from Lois by the way 😍😍😍
Yessss right back at you 🥰🥰🥰 Another vote for Wales 🙌🏼🫶🏼 Yes have you got that one? Are you starting it with Sarah? Xxx
@emmasstitches no it's not one I've got x
Your mini me doll is just so cute and your Chatelaine is magnificent.
I enjoyed seeing all of your WIPS. Some great haul too. Love Brixham in Devon.
Thank you so much ☺️ and for watching! If you want to enter (you know what) you need to add a sentence with the word I said 🤫 Emma x
@@emmasstitches I’ve already stitched it Emma. I don’t want to enter but wanted to add my favourite holiday place 😀
@@solstitches ah fabulous! Just didn’t want you to miss out xx
Love your stitched doll! She looks great! Beautiful watermelon mill hill ornament!! Oh don't let that judges comment get to you! She didn't need to include that haha. Your chatelaine is looking amazing! Great job!
Aww you’re too kind 🫶🏼 Andrew, what a lovely soul you are 💞 thank you - did you see your lady finished on the brag table? How gorgeous- hope that spurred you on 👌🏼Emma x
@@emmasstitches I did! so beautiful and definitely gave me some extra motivation!
Hi Emma
We met at Wrexham, the curly little girls long ago 😂
Who doesn’t love the seaside and being in Poole, Dorset ❤❤❤❤
Hi Andrea, Curly hair rocks 🤘🏼😊 not so much the little trussed up monkeys 🙊 Thank you so much for watching! Dorset is somewhere I’ve never been 🤭🌅 xx
Love your flosstube.. my closest and favourite seaside place is Snettisham. Just love to go there for a walk along the beach even in the middle of winter.
Ooh I’d never heard of Snettisham, just had to look it up - sounds lovely! Thank you for watching 💗
You lucky thing going to Wrexham and the two stitchy shops! I'd love to do that one day. My favourite seaside place was always Whitby, but now I live in Kent it'd have to be Folkestone x
I know I’m very lucky ☺️ You could come to Wrexham next year! Whitby is beautiful, never been to Folkestone. Thanks so much for watching xx
Great to have you back Emma another fab video 💞 love you’re projects the Chatelaine is just 😍😍 my favourite Seaside spot is Scarborough 💞 xxx

Love going to Croyde in Devon, seaside
Devon is heaven!
I am a new viewer and subscriber! You are so much fun to watch! My favorite seaside resort is Pawley's Island, SC USA
Hi 👋🏼 and welcome 🤗 thank you so much for joining me 💞 glad you enjoyed it! Pawley’s Island sounds lovely 🌅
Finally got chance to watch you 😊. The fridge magnet was a cover kit from Cross stitch collection in the late 90s and I have it floating about somewhere! Love the sewing finishes. I used to enter the Cheshire show when in the WI and the comment that makes me laugh still after almost 20 years is ‘ there was too much fruit in the fruit cake ‘ 😂😂. I’ve got the ABC from Jardin so if you fancy a SAL on it, let me know. My favourite seaside town is Llandudno
. Happy stitching x
@@Cheshirestitcher ha ha that’s brilliant 😂 at least I’m in good company then! Imagine putting too much fruit in the fruit cake 🤦🏻♀️🤣 ooh yes another SAL let’s do it! Llandudno, ruled by goats who wander free - those lockdown photos were the best 😍 🙌🏼 see you soon, Emma x
@@emmasstitches we’ll have to have a chat about when to start. Yes they did and it now has a bead shop so another reason for me to go
@@Cheshirestitcher the bead shop looked AMAZING! Bet you were giddy!
@@emmasstitches just a little
lol@ your coaster. XD
😂😂😂 didn’t realise it was readable - bloomin’ true tho 😜
@@emmasstitches lol :D
Great video Emma! I love your doll! I just bought the Stitchingly Ever After chart because Sarah from Sew Me Sarah is going to be starting it as part of her 50 starts so maybe you could join in... I am! She is going to start on 29th July according to her last flosstube. Happy stitching!
Oh that’s brilliant Sarah, yes I will 🙌🏼💗You might need to remind me nearer the time! I need to catch up with sewmesarah’s flosstubes, and yours - I’m part way through your second! I’ll ask Sally this weekend if she’s doing it too. Great plan. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 💞🥰🪡🧵
@@emmasstitches Thanks for watching mine! I'll try and remember to remind you!
My first visit to your flosstube, I loved seeing your work, so beautiful. Enjoyed the clip from the retreat, as very new to cross stitch so don’t know what they are like. Are there any in SE London? My favourite seaside spot is on Brighton Pier with a coffee and freshly cooked doughnut 🥰👍🏻
@@debbiewilliams4048 Hi Debbie, thanks so much for stopping by and thank you, glad you enjoyed all the stitching! Retreats are just a lovely escape from reality and spending time with other stitchers enjoying our hobby together. There are more and more retreats popping up all the time which is great. I highly recommend getting on Instagram if you’re not already as there is a fabulous crossstitch community on there, and from there you’ll get to know about different stitchy events going on. Oh and doughnuts at the seaside is just 😘 perfection! 🪡🧵 Emma x
@@emmasstitches, many thanks, I’ve been finding my way around Instagram and seeing what a lovely community of stitchers are on there 🥰
