      Hi Rebecca! Aww thank you! Yes the travelling piece such a good idea. Found out after I filmed that it had been all round US first and then the lady in the Uk won it on giveaway so now I want it to float around uk 😂 happy stitching 💗🧵

    Hello Lauren, it’s great to see you again-I’ve missed you but certainly understand how busy life can be. Your commitment to your projects are so strong. I have a lot of these commitment, organizational tendencies myself. Your WIPS are sensational in the progress you’ve made and you inspire me greatly. Thank you for all you do in making our lives and world so lovely.

      Hi Joann! What a lovely comment thank you. Yes I bet your the same and it’s just in you naturally to be like that no matter what you do in life 😂 glad to hear I’m not alone. Hopefully another video being filmed this week and mama should make an appearance! 🧵💗

It was lovely to meet you & mama flossabilities and thank you for showing us where to go, it really helped the nerves on our first retreat. Looking forward to the next retreat and flosstube update.

    Look forward to seeing more on your full coverages. Eggs all around is beautiful. I love the variegated DMC you changed for the leaves. Retreats are so much fun. I’ve only been to quilt retreats but hopefully I will get to a cross stitch one someday! The finishes at the end were so pretty. I knew Michelle was taking her Santas. They are amazing!

    • @flossabilities
      @flossabilities  Рік тому +1

      Hi Sandy! Omg Michelle’s Santas were stunning in real life! I had the magazine in my stash for these for years and will look forward to doing them myself one day! Thank you so much for visiting with me and I hope you get to a stitchy retreat one day! 💗🧵

    Lovely to see you again. I think you’ve made the right decision re Wind in the Willows, it is such a huge piece, if I’d split it down into smaller chunks I don’t think I would have ever finished it. I’m house and cat sitting in Cornwall for a couple of weeks, not practical to bring my cross stitch - trying to get a finish on the Forest Santa - but I think a rest will be quite good. On the other hand I brought more than enough knitting, crochet, patchwork and stitching with me!! Enjoy the rest of the Summer. x

    • @flossabilities
      @flossabilities  Рік тому +1

      Aww enjoy the house sitting sue and I wish you lots of knitting progress instead 😂 yes happy with my decision, especially as not been much progress this month already as been busy and a bit poorly but we will see how it goes this month. See you next video 🧵💗

    Thanks for sharing! Glad you and Mama F had fun at the retreat. Her Wallace and Grommit jab made me spit out my coffee! Haven't we all felt like that in photos? And the Stitcher stalking is real, even in airports. I spy a Q snap, after them!

    • @flossabilities
      @flossabilities  Рік тому

      Hahaha hi!! I loved your comment thank you for making me smile. Yes we are our own worst enemies when it comes to photos. I love playing spot the stitcher when out and about. It’s like fight club and we are all part of this secret society and we just look at each others Q snaps and without saying anything… we know 😂😂 hope you have a wonderful rest of the month 🧵💗

      Hi Patricia! Thank you for the well wishes to mama I will let her know! Yes both been very busy this end so sometimes hard to film. Yes plodding along with my pieces and I’m pleased overall with my progress . Glad to put wind in the willows down for a bit. 😂 thank you so much for visiting and sending time with me as usual.

    I love seeing your video pop up. The sky looks awesome on Barging Through. I love the mice pattern. I have Sleepy Hollow but I am still working on the blasted sails on Skeleton Crew. Haven't picked it up in a few months because I still have 2 of the mast to do and don't want to. Everything else is done and I do want it finished for the October so I better get a move on. Lol.

    So good to see your video come across, amazing progress on your Chris Dunn's as usual! I have got to get back to mine but the full coverage bug is illuding me atm but it usually hits again about November/December. The weather here is horrendous and hot just constant 100+ Fahrenheit days, would love some English summer to cool everything off! Happy Stitching :)

    • @hildederho1793

      Can you show us how to make the flat fold? Or a tutorial video somewhere?

    • @flossabilities
      @flossabilities  Рік тому

      @erinsmakes2933 oh I’m sorry to hear about the weather it’s horrible when it’s too hot!! ☀️yea I think summer is a bad deterrent for stitching especially full coverages! I hope you get to pull your FC out again soon! Thanks for visiting and see you again soon! 💗🧵

    • @flossabilities
      @flossabilities  Рік тому +1

      Hi!! Yes search for twisted stitcher - flat folds. Vonna has loads of tutorials about how to make these in all different way and pillows Etc. hope this helps! 💗🧵

    Oh Lauren such beautiful stitching as always! Well done for finishing the sky on barging through and beautiful progress on Simple Pleasures... is that snow on the window? I find the Wind and thd Willows SAL a bit of a slog at times too but swap between doing a few thousand stitches on a full coverage section and then working on one of the characters which are more fun to stitch imo!

    • @flossabilities
      @flossabilities  Рік тому

      Hi Sarah! Yes it’s snowing outside on simple pleasures it’s so cozy!! ❄️ yes wind in willows definitely a slog at the bit I’m on. I think having a break from it I’ll enjoy and look forward to bringing it out more in the future when a full coverage done. 😂thank you so much for visiting , take care 💗🧵

  • @The.monogamous_cross.stitcher

    Didn’t get round to chat to you properly hopefully at the next one! 😁
