I just found your flosstube and started watching here, from the beginning-I love hearing the kids playing in the background😊 All of your projects are wonderful, and something about the Settling In project makes me especially happy and want to do it too!!! Love them all, and can’t wait to see more!
I love the name of your channel! I was sitting in a cafe, stitching away, and a woman stopped as she was walking out just to tell me it made her sick to see my lick the thread. I was stunned. I figured everyone did! Your project are gorgeous. I have one full coverage, Good Omens, and I haven’t touched it in over a year. I’m inspired to take it out now. I can’t remember the term you used for traveling across the back but I do that, too. And I love the little ones in the background. Fond memories of my grandchildren when they were little and playing while I sewed clothing.
licking floss should be normalized! I think you're asking about "cross country" and then there is also extreme cross country which is a whole other beast
Hi, nice to meet you that full coverage with the rabbit is gorgeous and so is the Shadalane. Those swans are beautiful. Will be looking forward to your next upload.
Love hearing your children in the background. I like the way you didn’t allow their faces on camera. Really enjoyed your projects. Keep up doing your floss tubes .
Welcome to flosstube. You remind me of myself back when i started flosstube. I too had young kids running around playing. Your wips are awesome, grest progress. Happy Stitching!
I also started a flosstube because I didn’t have anyone to share the hobby with around me. Also don’t worry about the kids, my baby is with me about half the time when I film because she’s a baby but I keep the toddler out because I would spend the video trying to snatch back my fabric and keeping her off camera 😅 Love the variety of projects! I have the teensiest start on Dark Queen, and will be starting 100 Owls in about a month once I get to the LNS. Looking forward to the Cathedral Goddess progress as that’s on my list for eventually
of course the kids wanted nothing to do with me before I click record but as soon as I hit the button they're all over me... we are multi tasking moms 🙂
Hi Rachel, Thank you for the WIP parade. I love your pieces. A couple I think will be coming my way. I also loved your colour choices when it comes to fabric. Not colours I would have thought of doing but they look awesome. Will look forward to you next video.
Congratulations on your first video! :-) Children will be children--admired the way you soldiered on. :-) Like your choice of projects and hope to see more videos in the future. I, too, am planning to go to the Queen City retreat. It will be my first and I've been busy working on some Mirabilia/Nora Corbett designs. I'm looking forward to it and want to be ready--like you said--with a piece or two. Fingers crossed. :-)
Enjoyed your video and seeing your projects. I did some work with quilt preservation years ago, and saliva can cause discoloration and deterioration of your fabric and thread. Needle threaders to the rescue. 🙂
You have some very pretty WIPS going. Your Chatelaine is gorgeous on that fabric. I too have no one in my area that stitches. I enjoyed your 1st video. Marilyn
Great first video. I actually loved hearing your kids playing so happily in the background. Mine are older now so I don’t hear that kind of noise anymore. Enjoy it while you can!
Congratulations on a great first Flosstube. I’m looking forward to catching up with you again soon. Like you, I’m a “licker” - a forensic team would have no trouble getting a DNA sample in my house!
Hey - see you at the retreat in October! I stitched Castles in the Air too. Finished piece is on my IG. I’m now going to look for the Rivendell chart! Cheers, Amanda
Always love finding new floss tubers to follow. Y’all keep me company when I’m stitching, which I try to do every day. Looking forward to seeing your progress on all you pretty wips.
Great first video and loved your wips. I was planning on going to the Mirabilia retreat especially since its only two hours away from me but something came up and I had to give up my spot. Hope you have a great time and looking forward to your next episode.
Well I subscribed just with the name, who doesn't lick floss 🤔 Great job and love the sound of the children playing. You have some lovely WIP's. Looking forward to your next vlog 😊
Welcome Rachel, your stitching is beautiful. I love your variety of tastes in patterns. Your children sound adorable! Looking forward to your next episode.
I'm getting ready to start the Cathedral wood goddess. I love it on that fabric so beautiful. It was sweet listening to your kids playing in the background. Can't wait to see your next video.
Hi sweetheart welcome to youtube i've been cross stitch for years now im working on maggie the mess maker its going good but i have to to get back at it today i love all your wips great work keep stitching hun .😊❤
I have Princess Asleep and seeing your’s makes me want to start mine. Lol. My son starts college this Fall and wants to study geology. thank you for the video! Xoxo
Thank you for sharing your projects! You have some great patterns to work on. Keep stitching. Kids will be kids. I love to see pets and real life. Enjoyed your new channel.
Yay! Glad to see you on Flosstube! I like that you started your Aimee Stewart piece in the top middle because I want to see a different part than the key and the door. Sad the skin conversion didn't work out on Cathedral Woods Goddess. Maybe it was clashing against the fabric? I had to adjust the hair color on Stargazer since I used a blue fabric. The charted browns looked ORANGE against the blue background.
it could have been the fabric choice as well... I just thought I didn't label the darker shade and medium shade properly and I came to the conclusion I'm not ready to do conversions yet lol and I'll just stick to what's charted lol thank you for the conversion, sorry I messed it up 🙃
Welcome to flosstube Rachel!!! I am so excited you are here and can’t wait get to know you better…love seeing the personality behind the stitching I have seen on IG 🥰😘 Loved the Wip parade 🎉
You have some beautiful pieces! I have never done a full coverage, but own the Princess Sleeping and Stitching Bookshelf. Enjoy your Retreat! They are so much fun and you will meet a lot of wonderful stitchers! 😻
Wow for someone new and with your wonderful kids, you have really done some anbitious charts and with beautiful stitching. Welcome to floss tube!!!! We understand kids so don't worry about them coming in. I look forward to seeing your progress in the future. If you decide to stop on your rabbit progress, maybejust finish the gorgeous rabbit area and frame that part or make a pillow. I have seen several people do that.great first video!!
Welcome to Flosstube! We are so lucky to have you.Your wips are amazing and the amount of stitching you get done as a busy mom is fabulous. I will also be a the Queen City retreat and I am looking forward to meeting you!
Nice to meet you, Rachael! You have some beautiful and interesting WIPs! I love the LOTR too but I don’t have any WIPs with that theme so I will enjoy seeing your updates. Happy stitching! -Leah Noel
Don't you worry about the children. We have all been there. The choices you have made are fantastic. See you soon. May your new location realize the jewel that you are!
your first video just came up on my feed and immediately subbed! i’m new to the Flosstube community, too, even though i had picked up cross stitching years ago! my husband’s aunt is also the only person IRL that i know that stitches! i have a few longtime online friends that i have yet to meet that also stitch, too… the Thomas Kinkade HAED i want to start is Nanette’s Cottage but the one you’re working is just as gorgeous! love all your LOTR pieces, as well… the Riolis Hobbit one is on my list. welcome! looking forward to seeing more videos!
I'll need to look at nanettes cottage! I have the riolis shire piece I just have not started it yet. I figure I should finish my current riolis before I start that one
Love your choice of wips and your stitching is beautiful! I am working on Princess Asleep also. I have stitched pages 1,2,3,9,and 10, and have started page 11. It is a confetti nightmare, but I want the finished piece on my wall! I look forward to seeing more of your stitching. Great wip parade!
I am recently retired, so I have decided to stitch on this piece exclusively. I hope to finish it within a year, maybe sooner if I don’t lose motivation. All of my other HAED wips and Gecko Rouge kits will have to wait.
Thanks for the video. Your work is beautiful! I have the rivendale pattern also. I just haven’t started it yet. You did a great job on your first UA-cam!
Love the Chatelaine, me i went and started all 4 of my chatelaines 2 i have fully kitted with floss and beads while my others have only the threads and i plan to start another 2. I totally enjoy these
I have Chinese Garden, Swan Lake, Butterfly Lace and Evening in the Park. I outsource my specialty floss but i only get the silks that can not be subbed by dmc. On the pattern where the section it says DmC i get the silks that have NA. As for beads i wait until they have the sales going on. My next ones are Taj Mahal and Egyptian Garden lol
So excited to see you at the Queen City stitch retreat! It’s gonna be awesome. Love the fabric choice for cathedral woods goddess - I am trying to get my current Mira done for October too but it is definitely not happening 🤣🤣🤣
I really enjoyed your first video! I’m working on my Josephine wall piece right now. I love Princess asleep too, your progress is beautiful. That will probably be my next big start, I already have the pattern
I enjoy the Josephine wall so much but I just don't work on it as much as I'd like. princess asleep is gorgeous and the colors are fantastic... just really heavy in the confetti 😅
I just found your channel. I love your LOTR WiPs and the 100 Owls! I'm not sure if you're interested, or maybe you already know because this video is 3 months old, but there's a Wandering in Middle Earth SAL that just started. Let me know if you're interested. 😊
My mom grand mother and Aunts always used lick method for tread with all dye threads and fabric may not be a good thing any longer from china Japan India Russia Indo-what ever they are now we need beware of what other countries put in our consumables
Love the cow - she’s on my (very long) list of future projects! Welcome to Flosstube.
I just found your flosstube and started watching here, from the beginning-I love hearing the kids playing in the background😊 All of your projects are wonderful, and something about the Settling In project makes me especially happy and want to do it too!!! Love them all, and can’t wait to see more!
Settling in is so precious! that's how I imagined myself retiring, lol

It’s nice to know I’m not the only cross stitcher out here with small kids. You did a great job with your first video!
I enjoyed your first flosstube. You have great wips. I hope to see more video's. Have a nice stitchy time.
Hi, nice to meet you that full coverage with the rabbit is gorgeous and so is the Shadalane. Those swans are beautiful. Will be looking forward to your next upload.
I'm glad I found your channel! Your work is beautiful and I agree...I don't know how people don't lick their floss!
Love hearing your children in the background. I like the way you didn’t allow their faces on camera. Really enjoyed your projects. Keep up doing your floss tubes .
not taking away from an enjoyable video ( I have subscribed). Love the sound affects in the background." Children having fun. "
Welcome to flosstube. You remind me of myself back when i started flosstube. I too had young kids running around playing. Your wips are awesome, grest progress. Happy Stitching!

Great floss tube. Enjoyed seeing all your work. I’m a licker too😄. Keep up the good work.

I did some work with quilt preservation years ago, and saliva can cause discoloration and deterioration of your fabric and thread. Needle threaders to the rescue. 🙂
I can understand that. most of my projects I do plan on washing when completed but the one I'm not going to wash I am using a needle threader for it
Welcome!!! Glad you are here!!! IMHO, start dates aren't important! I have Evening in the Park too! Love your fabric choice!
I have a general idea of when I started a wip and then I have an exact date of when I started a wip 🙃
Welcome to FlossTube. Nice fist video. Looking forward to future content from you.
Nice projects and great video. Looking forward to your next one.
loved the kids in the background.
Great WIP's parade video, love all your variety.
Loved the sound also, you get an amazing amount done with littles around. Great start and keep going.
You have some very pretty WIPS going.
Your Chatelaine is gorgeous on that fabric.
I too have no one in my area that stitches.
I enjoyed your 1st video.

Nice to see a new flosstuber. Cool full coverage projects. I'm about to try my first one, Gamer Nuveau.

Every two weeks please 🎉🥳⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Yay! Good to see you on here! I love all your projects! 😍😍 I don’t think I’ve seen that Lothlorian pattern, I’m definitely checking that out 😊
it's a big one and about half of the project seems to be 939 and 310 fyi

I don't count hours or stitches it's supposed to be chill. Your stitching is great!
I agree, counting seems like so much work lol
What an awesome first video! Welcome to the stitchy community
Loved your wip parade
I just found your channel. I love your LOTR WiPs and the 100 Owls! I'm not sure if you're interested, or maybe you already know because this video is 3 months old, but there's a Wandering in Middle Earth SAL that just started. Let me know if you're interested. 😊
Subscribed just because of the name will watch the video later 😂
Impressed! Where do you find out about retreats? I’d love to go to one.
The one I went to was hosted by some flosstubers and so I heard about it through them and signed up!
Please come back in two weeks 😊
I thought I was the only “licker” 😂
Tell me about the fabric you have around your pieces. I like it!
I'm planning on a shelf tour thing
My mom grand mother and Aunts always used lick method for tread with all dye threads and fabric may not be a good thing any longer from china Japan India Russia Indo-what ever they are now we need beware of what other countries put in our consumables
I never thought of that before. thanks for mentioning it
Enjoyed your video, can you tell me where you got your LOTR charts? I am doing the poster from the first movie, and I have the other two as well.
farewell to lothlorien is a heaven and earth designs chart and home in the mountains is a golden kite chart
