So happy you had a nice time in Massachusetts! I'm from Lowell so glad you had a nice visit. Love the video and yes Celine Dion's performance was magnificent like she is.
Nice to have three generations sharing about their crafty endeavors! ♥️ ♥️♥️ My favorite genre of books are mysteries. I’ve gone more to audiobooks so I can stitch and ‘read’ at the same time. ✂️ I love scissors! ✂️ Scissors of all types and sizes. Sentimentally I love Stork scissors as I’m a neonatal/perinatal nurse. Years ago my Mom saw a boxed set of Gingher Scissors and got them for me for Christmas. She knew that I’d love it! When I opened the box and there was a beautiful wooden box with Gingher on the top I thought it was a storage box but was surprised that it held every size and style of scissor they made. I was almost in tears. I still treasure that gift! Now I more often use Kai or Karen K Buckley scissors with the micro serrated blades for quilting and appliqué. I have embroidery scissors with my cross stitch but got a couple of the inexpensive little bright colored scissors as they work well and fit in with projects so easily. Since it’s back to school shopping time I always get a new pair of Fiskars school scissors even though they were up to $1.50 this year! ✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️
Carol, Jen, and Jenna!! Greetings from Dallas!! I have to say that I really enjoy your flosstube and just adore you!! Scissors! I’m not a big collector. I have my snips that I inherited from my mother and a pair of pinking shears I inherited from my grandmother. Those mean a lot to me. Then just a pair of Fiskars I use for sewing and another pair for the kitchen. It was great seeing Jenna! She’s such a well spoken young lady. I, too, graduated in Drama with a concentration in tech design. I stage managed at a semi professional theatre for many years as a side hustle when I was younger. Now I enjoy just being on the audience side of the curtain but I do miss the backstage sometimes. I also diamond painted for several years before I went back to cross stitching. Have a great time at your retreat!! Thanks so much!!!
So neat to see three generations together and enjoying each other's company and interests! Scissors are a necessity in my mind not something I collect. I have two good pairs (Zwilling/Henckel & Gugenheim) that I've been using exclusively for embroidery for many years. If I'm traveling, I take a small collapsable pair for my stitching needs. Love the bookmark question. My favorite genres are historical-fiction and mysteries. I look forward to our next visit.
Love your show as always. My favorite genre is Thrillers. Bookmark. I love that all of you are very creative on your own ways. It brings a great blend of creativity to your show. I own one pair of stitchy scissors. Not cheap and not expensive. They just move from project to project for me.
Wow! I love the quilt behind you and all of your projects. I think I need to start the cowl too! The diamond painting coasters and bookmarks are beautiful! I loved hearing about the crochet toys and banners! My favorite book genre is murder mysteries but I love historical fiction too. Scissors! I have many different kinds for cross stitch, sewing and quilting, and paper crafts. I just inherited many Ginghor scissors from my mother. She loved to sew and collected many over the years. She hid them so I never realized how many she had. 😂 Thank you for another fun episode!!
Wonderful Flosstube Ladies awesome finishes. Very packed full of great conversation. The Princess did a beautiful job on her crafts she’s very talented . I’m not a big collector but I have the little ones in each project for some reason😂 the small ones you can get through the airport. Bookmark I love quilt fiction books. Take care
Love to see all the fun things that you gals are stitching on. Always enjoy your videos. I would love to have one of the princess bookmarks. I think they’re beautiful. My favorite genre is mysteries and romance and for your question with the scissors I have found that I have recently been collecting little small scissors that I put with all my whips And they have fun designs on them. I have one that has ice cream cones and one that has spooky kitties. Both are very cute and fun. Looking forward to your next video.
Hi all. Thank you for the update. Congrats on all your lovely finishes! Enjoy your retreat and the Olympics! Hope the play is a smash hit! I like having scissors in each project bag. I have a mix, maybe 10? bought or gifted to me over the past 10-20 years, but occasionally buy mid-range ones when I see them. They must be pointed and cut to the tip. I'm culling the ones that don't cut well. I use silicon point protectors if the scissors don't come with a sheath. I finally found perfect tiny travel scissors that beat the tough Australian airline security rules and love them. ⚘️
Great progress gals! Beautiful projects. As far as scissors, for my quilting I have mainly Gingher. I’ve bought those for years, on sale, at JoAnns. Love them. My cross stitch are a mix of different kinds including Karen Kay Buckley which I really like. However I don’t “collect” scissors like some do. Jenna is a great speaker with the camera. Her coasters and bookmark are so pretty! I love books and usually read books that are fiction centered around the 1940’s or 1950’s.
Lovely video as usual. It was nice seeing the Princess she looks so grown up now. You’re such a beautiful family. I love Sci-Fi and Murder Mystery’s books to read. As for your scissors question I like to keep inexpensive scissors in every project. My favorite brand of quality scissors are KAI. ❤
I really enjoyed seeing all your wips and finishes. I didn't start out to collect scissors, but I noticed I have quite a few. I have household scissors throughout the house, my craft and quilt scissors are in my projects.
Another great flosstube, ladies. It was so nice to see your daughter (granddaughter) and see her lovely crafting, she's doing such a wonderful job of everything that she is making. I'm not a big scissor collector because of the expense, but I do like a good sharp pair. I've been using some more inexpensive Wescott embroidery scissors and they're very good and available at Michaels.
I have a grandson that will be a sophomore in college, a grandson starting college, a granddaughter that will be a senior (she likes to crochet animals) and one that will be a junior. So fun to watch them explore their interests. I have several pairs of snips, in project bags and by sewing machine, love my Kai scissors for fabric! Once in a while I will throw in a pair or two of snips with FQS order.
Another great video- so nice to see the “princess”😊 I would love a bookmark- I read a wide variety of genres but mysteries are my favorite if I had to choose. I just pick scissors that will cut😂😂 I would rather spend $ on charts and threads than on expensive scissors. Thanks for taking the time to share your stitching with us.
Bookmark. I read Bible studies, mostly. Quilt books, knitting and crafting books, and how-tos. I bought a punch of snips to put into my project bags, have lots of cheapies, and a few of my mom's nice ones. I have a lot of them, but never seem to have a pair when I need them. Lol. Such a fun, busy time you're having. 😊that Christmas piece knocked my socks off! Need more time to stitch all the things you show!
I have lots of scissors! Some are on the pricey side; some are inexpensive. In my defense I sew, quilt, cross stitch, paper craft, and I was a teacher, which all require special scissors! I’d love a bookmark! My favorite genres are historical fiction, fantasy, and beach reads. It took me a while to find where I could watch the Olympics, but I’m watching now!
What a great video. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful projects - finished or in process. How wonderful to see the Princess again - she’s a lovely girl and it’s great that she’s crafting. We have called my eldest granddaughter Princess. She is 3 and last month her baby sister arrived so I suppose I now have 2 princesses! I have lots of scissors but no really good ones. I have a basket next to my stitchy spot where a few of them live but I don’t have them in each project - I wonder why! My reading is mainly done on kindle so I have no use of a b…….k but my genre would be a good murder mystery. Happy crafting to you all and thanks again. I’m also stitching, and watching, the Olympics.
Enjoy you channel! A friend of mine just gave my daughter lots of diamond painting supplies yesterday and she is enjoying it! Love your coasters princess super cute! Thanks for the heads up on how to seal them. The bookmark is a great idea. I enjoy fiction 😊
I love the bookmark, so colorful. Quilting fiction! I have a handful of scissors. Some cheap and some a little more expensive. Sometimes those cheap ones are 😂 pretty good
I'm someone who just doesn't get the scissors obsession 😂. I've only got 2-3 tiny little sharp snips that get the job done just fine. Carol, your cardinal sampler is looking lovely, and Jenn, I really like how your Dureen Jones Christmas sampler is stitching up. The crystal reindeer look great too! Jenna, my son's girlfriend gave me one of those crochet kits of a little bunny a few months ago. I've really been wanting to try it, and now seeing your little animals, I am going to try to make that happen sooner rather than later. Enjoy the rest of your summer, girls!
Hi ladies, Always love your videos and what you are stitching. I am not a scissor collector. I just buy cheap scissors and ones I recceive at retreats. I do however have one for each of my projects.
Love all of the projects! I have a few pairs of scissors including 1 pair of DOVO scissors but ironically the pair I use the most is my cheapest pair. I love the bookmarks! My favorite genre of book is murder mystery/suspense - bookmark
Wonderful video! Always love when your daughter is able to pop on. My granddaughter (13 yo) also loves crocheting the Woobles. I did not realize they had skill levels! Oops! She never complains! LOL Bookmark-murder mysteries. I am not a scissor collector. I’d rather spend the money on stitching supplies. I use some old Gingher embroidery scissors I’ve had for probably 30 years and those little colorful snips you get at Amazon or at shops with the sheaths that are attached. Happy stitching!
I always enjoy your videos! I hope to catch some Olympics. I love to read and love a good Bookmark. My fav genre is usually fiction, just a good story. I will veer to murder mysteries, some Stephen King, occasionally. And I enjoy reading through cookbooks!
Nice to see the Princess and her projects. I like historical fiction best. I have a handful of scissors and have to stop myself from buying more. I have one pair of “good” scissors and approximately 12 pairs of inexpensive ones.
Beautiful projects! I love those Robin Pikens pieces. Scissors- I'm not a collector. I have a couple of the yarn tree pink and purple "cotton candy" scissors and I haven't found anything that cuts as well or that the blades slide over each other as smoothly. I want to try a dinky dyes scissors because they are cute and maybe a fancier looking yarn tree pair of scissors. Jenna, my favorite genre is historical romance.
I just tuned to your channel and really enjoyed it. I'm not a big scissors collector, I just like them to be sharp. I am currently using a curved pair I got from Hobby Lobby and they're really nice.
Great to see all 3 of you!!:) When you recapped your vacation Jen, I am the one on instagram who reached out that my daughter lives in Newburyport, and yes, Plum Island has those horrible green head flies. I was just in Boston and met my daughter and mentioned your comment, and of course she had two bites to share with me. Love your House of the Seven Gables ornament...I have a trivet from there that is probably close to 40 years old, and a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments from our travels. I have a lot of magnets too on my refrigerator...have not had to spread out to the front door yet!! Love all that you share ladies. I am not a scissor collector at all. I have a few pair reserved for sewing and quilting, and a few for cross stitching, and mostly smaller ones that I can carry on an airplane. Enjoy August and Go U.S.A.!!
Oh lordy did you ask the right question. Scissors? Do I love scissors? So glad you asked. I’m obsessed with smallish and very pointy scissors. If they have colored or decorative handles I love them even more. Each new pair becomes my favorite. I don’t have a lot of WIPs, but each one has a small bag that holds a small screwdriver (for my wooden Nurge hoops), a pair of tweezers and a pair of scissors, so I definitely use them. Visits to needle shops are rare as there is a dearth of ones near me, but I’ve started buying scissors at each shop as a remembrance. And now I want to buy a pair of (reasonably priced) scissors. ✂️ my price range is $10-$30.
What fun you ladies are. Thanks for talking about House of Seven Gables. I did not know that there was a tourist location for that, I love the story and also Vincent Price did a horror movie. It was great. My scissors are not terribly expensive but not cheap. I have 1 for each WIP and then a extra pair by my stitching spot just in case. Also I have maybe 3 extra so I can switch out to better match them to the project I am working on. I prefer smaller scissors 3 inch size but have a few that are 5 or 6 inch. ✂️
Sew Sweet Shop is mostly a quilt shop, but also sells cross stitch. Great place to visit. Quilter’s Station is in Lee’s Summit, Mo. She’s also mostly quilting, but now carries a lot of cross stitch!! Since I am only 10 minutes away from Quilter’s Station I spend a lot of time and money there.😂 Love your videos.
I like all scissors, I will splurge on scissors for quilting, but rounded tip Fiskars for my project bags is just fine! I have repurposed old scissors from my girl's elementary days!
I read everything (including toothpaste tubes) and I guess lately historical fiction has been my genre of choice. I scatter scissors on every surface, toss them in every project bag, and still go looking for them sometimes. I have a couple of pairs of Cohanas that I love best of all for stitching. My Green Bell shears are the best dressmakers I’ve ever had, and I love Ginghers, too.
This is the first of your videos I’ve watched, and I’ll definitely be adding your channel to my must-watch list. (I live in Newfoundland, Canada, and loved the project bag!☺️) I so enjoyed the life and crafting updates and info, and the review of the crochet kits was really great. I’m a pretty good knitter, but have never been able to catch on to crochet. I really love so many of the projects for crochet, so the kits you talked about might just be the thing! Thank you so much for all of the sharing!
No scissor collector here. I just have a few inexpensive pairs tucked here or there. I love murder mysteries and historical romance. Love your bookmark
Bookmark - Historical Fiction. I do like to collect scissors, but not to an extreme. I have about 20 pairs of embroidery scissors mostly Gingher designer scissors. I do have a few inexpensive scissors that I bought only because they were pretty, but they are not very sharp and I do not use them. Great video today.
I always enjoy your surveys. I always forget to add my choices. I would have chosen Shepherd's Bush. We visited them on a trip last summer and those ladies are jewels. I lamented the fact that all of the gazillion samples on their walls were so beautiful and too small counts for me. I'm 82 and pretty much have to use 14 count Aida. She sweetly told me she had a project just for me. She gave me fabric (I'm not sure the size, but it's big.} It kind of looks like gunny sack fabric. She even gave me a large needle. She showed me their lovely Prairie Schooler Santa pillows they make with this fabric. They use a variety of the Santas. so I could choose my favorite pattern. It was so kind of her. I don't even need my magnifiers to stitch it. They also encouraged our chatty, chatty fifteen year old telling her about a pioneer trek she was about to go on. These are popular activity in among we Mormons and the lady found a cute little project for her to make to take on Trek. We're planning another Utah trip the middle of the month so I'm going to show them my progress. As to the survey, I bought a lot of scissors when I first got back into stitching during Covid. I have scissors in all price ranges, I think, but the ones I use the most are an old pair of stainless steel fold-ups that I bought years ago. I've made myself quit buying scissors since I probably have enough to gift to all my granddaughters! Thanks for a fun post.
Hi Ladies - I am not a scissor collector. I have a pair of Gingher dress making shears that I have had for over 48 years. They are still super sharp. I also have two pairs of Gingher embroidery scissors that I use when I am doing any type of hand stitching including cross stitching. I also have Gingher duckbill scissors and pinking shears. Take Care
Beautiful projects ladies. Bookmark - Murder mysteries! Scissors - I just have a couple pair of small scissors from a big box store. I usually have only one or 2 projects in process at any time.
I will add a pair of cute scissors to round out a 123stitch order so I have a collection of about a dozen pairs which I keep in current dip bags. My favorite book genre is historical fiction.
Love your flosstubes! Your daughter is adorable. My daughter has a degree in theatre and is the stage manager for the Missouri Reparatory Theatre in Kansas City Mo. She loves her job. Bookmark --historical fiction.
I got a birthday present of kai scissors which I use mainly for pompoms and cutting out fabric shapes where a wheel doesn't work, and lots of quite sharp, 12 for £10 scissors and some pretty tiny scissors for threads. No one else touches the kai ones! Mainly because I fear for their fingers, they are sharp!
I have lots of scissors. I have ginger embroidery scissors, I have stork scissors from years ago when my girls were young. I have Karen Kay Buckley assorted sizes scissors and Kai scissors and snips and others.
I’m so happy to have found your channel! Jen, I met you at Stitch-Con. I sat directly behind you at the Texan table and admired all of your stitching projects. I am not a scissor collector yet. My favorite pair are Omnigrips. Bookmark-Mystery.
great projects thanks for sharing. Scissors collector OMG another new thing to collect :) - no I don't (currently collect scissors) I really like inexpensive small ones that come three in a pack (love the pink ones) from Amazon. While I only read digitally thought I would share my preferred genre - I call it beach reading - easy reads preferably with a bit of a mystery/crime basis. Enjoy the Olympic stitching.
First of all your daughter/princess is adorable and sweet. Bookmark-genre is murder mystery or romance. I’m a collector of scissors as well, I won’t buy Cohana scissors but I love cute, great quality scissors. As always. It’s always fun to see you two.
Karol, I am like you, I can not see blood. I faint, one time I even hit my head on the floor, it is not funny. Stitchy Fence is adorable!!! I do not collect scissors. It was nice to see the princess, she is a copy of Jennifer. Her diamond painting is so beautiful.
Not a scissor collector. My go to is an inexpensive pair of “stork” scissors I got as a gift with subscription to a cross stitch magazine over 30 years ago.
Carol, Jennifer and Jenna...good to see you all...lovely bookmarker..I love to read all types of books...I have several types of small scissors..my husband collects Dollar Tree scissors because my kids were always using my good ones to cut paper and open chips bag's...Dying to Stitch is located in Virginia Beach and produce R & R fabrics...best wishes and happy Olympic watching❤
I love scissors! They don’t have to be expensive. If I think they’re cute, then I need them. I also have my mother’s scissors, and my grandmother’s. These are precious to me. My book genre is Scottish highlanders, as in Outlanders. Don’t know if that’s a genre or not, but it’s what I like.
I have a pair of embroidery scissors that were in a subscription box from Fat Quarter Shop. That's it for crafting. Bookmark. Science Fiction (Deathlands series) and true crime.
The most expensive pair of scissors I have is Gingher. I love scissors, but I can’t see spending a large amount of money on a pair. I have cheap scissors off of Amazon that are functional enough for me. I love crime fiction ie John Sandford or Lee Child. One can always use a good bookmark.
On the subject of scissors, when you’re talking, Crosstitch, I pretty much have one pair of scissors that I use all the time and move from one thing to the next and one pair of travel scissors in a little plastic covered tiny things. Now if you’re gonna talk quilting and sewing scissors, that’s a whole different ball game.
Cute bookmark, lately I've only read Cookbooks!! I have a decent collection of embroidery scissors, my favorites are by Gingher w/sheaths. I think my oldest Gingher pair is so lightweight, pewter in color, they are well over 30+ years old & I use them every day. And one that was called lift & snip, has a notched blade, great for frogging. I have some others, but nothing too expensive. I've seen Scissors at my LNS from $80 & Up, no thanks, I'd rather buy more charts & fabrics with that money. I have the Fiskar travel scissors in the orange & lilac colors, a few from Yarn tree, Dinky Dyes, and 1 of those mini ones with the matching cover, in Pink. It would be nice to have 1 for each WIP :) Thanks for having your daughter on, fun video.
Celine Dion was magnificent! I had goose bumps listening to her. Bookmark- Historical Non-Fiction. Scissors- I like my Kai. Not a collector. Love the quilt, Carol. Love your videos, Ladies!
Love you guys!!! You always have it together!! I’d love to stitch for summer Olympics. I know you are fans…. me…. Not so much🤷♀️ I’m not sure why tho🤷♀️
Hi! Great show again ladies. I live in Ogden, Utah and Shepherd’s Bush is a treasure. A must see for any visiting cross stitcher! Lovely shop and the owners are so helpful😃
What a treat to have The Princess join y'all on the video today! I ❤ to read fiction and biography mostly. I don't really have any fancy scissors but if someone gifted me some I would enjoy them. Lol Bookmark
Bookmark. I am a big Robert Galbraith fan (J.K. Rowling is the actual author). She writes a series of books that are murder mysteries so I would have to say murder mysteries are my favorite. Best wishes to The Princess and the Prince in their academic endeavors!
Always enjoy your visits. I love reading historical fiction and nonfiction. I also enjoy autobiographies and biographies. Princess, it was nice to see your accomplishments. Your diamond painting is so cool. Please visit again. Loved the bookmark. I have several pairs of scissors but I use the ones that I have had for over 40 years. They are still in great shape.
I loved Celine Dion in the Opening ceremony. Heck, i loved the whole Opening Ceremony! Jennifer, you can speak any way you want and it is ok with me. Love your quilt, Carol. and your Tiny Town finish. I have lots of inexpensive scissors, retreat gifts mainly. Then, i have 4 pricey pairs. I have two Premax Ringlock pairs which are my favorites. Curved tips, very sharp, nice hand shape. I also have 2 pairs of Cohanas, bought during the craze 2 years ago n colors i liked - a dusty rose and a pale spearminty green. They are very pretty but aren’t as good as the Premax. I would say how beautiful the b__k marks are but i read on a kindle and don’t need to win them. Lastly, Dyeing to Stitch is in Virginia Beach, Va 😁 Thanks for sharing ladies xx
Enjoyed our visit today. I love to read cozy mysteries and historical fiction and always have a bookmark for each one. I have a variety of scissors for different sewing and crafting. I have Ginghers and Kai and lots of the little colorful ones that you find at the counter in the LNS or LQS. I love the little bags from Shepherds Bush that Carol showed. You enabled me and I am currently working on Stitching calms the soul.
Thank you for your kind words about our Canadian icon, Celine Dion. She's not had an easy life but has carried on with grace and her voice continues to thrill us all.
Lovely stitching as always. The quilt of the day is gorgeous. I love the little Woobles. I'm so tempted to try one. The bookmark is beautiful. I read Mystery and SciFi/Fantasy. Happy Stitching! My current favorite scissors are Sew Mate Rainbow Thread Cutters. I have a few pairs all in purple 💜 I do have some other random ones and a few pairs of Ginghers that I hide from the family because they are only for fabric and threads
I enjoy romance with comedy books. I love your bookmark! I like having a pair of scissors in every project bag. All my scissors are cheap. I love the fun colors & patterns on scissors!
I love your princess’ discussion on her wobbles hobby. I love to bookmark in my ebook historical fiction. I could use a bookmarker for physical books. I love my small Gingher scissors for my main at home project and I use the cheaper small scissors for a random pick up and go project because I would be sad to lose my Gingher!
Lovely to see the three generations together on the channel again! Lovely projects as always, ladies. I am not a collector of scissors but have two pair of Ginghers and several other even less expensive pairs and snips.
Oh scissors … I can’t justify those fancy expensive scissors just to cut thread. I have Gingher and Fiskars for sewing, and various scissors for cross stitch, cute ones, cheap ones, teeny ones. It all cuts the floss.
Such a pretty quilt of the day, Carol! Thank you for sharing Jenna with us😊 So fun to see what she’s been working on! As for a bookmark, my favorite genre is historical fiction - especially when it’s rooted in true events. Scissors - I don’t collect. I do have a special pair that I always use (and actually have my 2nd pair because I wore the finish off the 1st pair). They are Gingher embroidery scissors with large finger grips. I do have several other pairs, generally tiny pairs to use when I’m away from my stitchy spot. As always, thank you for sharing!💚 See you soon!
Lovely to see all three of you ❤
Great projects all around 🎉
I have two scissors, one in my stitching station and one for stitching on the go
So happy you had a nice time in Massachusetts! I'm from Lowell so glad you had a nice visit. Love the video and yes Celine Dion's performance was magnificent like she is.

I have my snips that I inherited from my mother and a pair of pinking shears I inherited from my grandmother. Those mean a lot to me.

Hi ladies, love that quilt behind you.
Wow! I love the quilt behind you and all of your projects. I think I need to start the cowl too! The diamond painting coasters and bookmarks are beautiful! I loved
hearing about the crochet toys and banners! My favorite book genre is murder mysteries but I love historical fiction too.
Scissors! I have many different kinds for cross stitch, sewing and quilting, and paper crafts. I just inherited many Ginghor scissors from my mother. She loved to sew and collected many over the years. She hid them so I never realized how many she had. 😂

Hi all. Thank you for the update. Congrats on all your lovely finishes! Enjoy your retreat and the Olympics! Hope the play is a smash hit!
I like having scissors in each project bag. I have a mix, maybe 10? bought or gifted to me over the past 10-20 years, but occasionally buy mid-range ones when I see them. They must be pointed and cut to the tip. I'm culling the ones that don't cut well. I use silicon point protectors if the scissors don't come with a sheath. I finally found perfect tiny travel scissors that beat the tough Australian airline security rules and love them. ⚘️

I'm not a big scissor collector because of the expense, but I do like a good sharp pair. I've been using some more inexpensive Wescott embroidery scissors and they're very good and available at Michaels.
Great time.. Jen love your Christmas works. I am on a mission to find them.
I have a grandson that will be a sophomore in college, a grandson starting college, a granddaughter that will be a senior (she likes to crochet animals) and one that will be a junior. So fun to watch them explore their interests. I have several pairs of snips, in project bags and by sewing machine, love my Kai scissors for fabric!

I bought a punch of snips to put into my project bags, have lots of cheapies, and a few of my mom's nice ones. I have a lot of them, but never seem to have a pair when I need them. Lol.
Such a fun, busy time you're having. 😊that Christmas piece knocked my socks off! Need more time to stitch all the things you show!
I have lots of scissors! Some are on the pricey side; some are inexpensive. In my defense I sew, quilt, cross stitch, paper craft, and I was a teacher, which all require special scissors! I’d love a bookmark! My favorite genres are historical fiction, fantasy, and beach reads. It took me a while to find where I could watch the Olympics, but I’m watching now!
What a great video. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful projects - finished or in process. How wonderful to see the Princess again - she’s a lovely girl and it’s great that she’s crafting. We have called my eldest granddaughter Princess. She is 3 and last month her baby sister arrived so I suppose I now have 2 princesses! I have lots of scissors but no really good ones. I have a basket next to my stitchy spot where a few of them live but I don’t have them in each project - I wonder why! My reading is mainly done on kindle so I have no use of a b…….k but my genre would be a good murder mystery. Happy crafting to you all and thanks again. I’m also stitching, and watching, the Olympics.
I love y’all! Y’all should do another weekend for y’all’s retreat! I would love to spend time with y’all! I’m down in the Houston area💜💜
Enjoy you channel! A friend of mine just gave my daughter lots of diamond painting supplies yesterday and she is enjoying it! Love your coasters princess super cute! Thanks for the heads up on how to seal them. The bookmark is a great idea. I enjoy fiction 😊
Not a scissor collector, but like Premax scissors with curved tips. Love the quilt and all the projects, happy stitching!
I love the bookmark, so colorful. Quilting fiction! I have a handful of scissors. Some cheap and some a little more expensive. Sometimes those cheap ones are 😂
pretty good
I'm someone who just doesn't get the scissors obsession 😂. I've only got 2-3 tiny little sharp snips that get the job done just fine. Carol, your cardinal sampler is looking lovely, and Jenn, I really like how your Dureen Jones Christmas sampler is stitching up. The crystal reindeer look great too! Jenna, my son's girlfriend gave me one of those crochet kits of a little bunny a few months ago. I've really been wanting to try it, and now seeing your little animals, I am going to try to make that happen sooner rather than later. Enjoy the rest of your summer, girls!
Hi ladies, Always love your videos and what you are stitching. I am not a scissor collector. I just buy cheap scissors and ones I recceive at retreats. I do however have one for each of my projects.
Love all of the projects! I have a few pairs of scissors including 1 pair of DOVO scissors but ironically the pair I use the most is my cheapest pair. I love the bookmarks! My favorite genre of book is murder mystery/suspense - bookmark
Always love your videos! Love that you both are stitchers and quilters…just like me. Don’t change a thing in your videos. Perfection❣️
Thank you!
Wonderful video! Always love when your daughter is able to pop on. My granddaughter (13 yo) also loves crocheting the Woobles. I did not realize they had skill levels! Oops! She never complains! LOL Bookmark-murder mysteries. I am not a scissor collector. I’d rather spend the money on stitching supplies. I use some old Gingher embroidery scissors I’ve had for probably 30 years and those little colorful snips you get at Amazon or at shops with the sheaths that are attached. Happy stitching!
I collect a few scissors, but nothing expensive. I would love a bookmark, my favorite thing to read is historical fiction. Thanks for the video!!
I always enjoy your videos! I hope to catch some Olympics. I love to read and love a good Bookmark. My fav genre is usually fiction, just a good story. I will veer to murder mysteries, some Stephen King, occasionally. And I enjoy reading through cookbooks!
I have tons of scissors, the cheaper the better as long as they cut. My good ones stay home. My favorite bookmark book genre is medical mystery.
So many great projects. Love the cowl. I knitted a bunch of scarves but it never gets cold enough here to wear them. 🙄😄
Nice to see the Princess and her projects. I like historical fiction best. I have a handful of scissors and have to stop myself from buying more. I have one pair of “good” scissors and approximately 12 pairs of inexpensive ones.
Beautiful projects! I love those Robin Pikens pieces. Scissors- I'm not a collector. I have a couple of the yarn tree pink and purple "cotton candy" scissors and I haven't found anything that cuts as well or that the blades slide over each other as smoothly. I want to try a dinky dyes scissors because they are cute and maybe a fancier looking yarn tree pair of scissors.
Jenna, my favorite genre is historical romance.
Love the book marks. My favorite genre is romance with a murder mystery
I just tuned to your channel and really enjoyed it. I'm not a big scissors collector, I just like them to be sharp. I am currently using a curved pair I got from Hobby Lobby and they're really nice.
Great to see all 3 of you!!:) When you recapped your vacation Jen, I am the one on instagram who reached out that my daughter lives in Newburyport, and yes, Plum Island has those horrible green head flies. I was just in Boston and met my daughter and mentioned your comment, and of course she had two bites to share with me. Love your House of the Seven Gables ornament...I have a trivet from there that is probably close to 40 years old, and a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments from our travels. I have a lot of magnets too on my refrigerator...have not had to spread out to the front door yet!! Love all that you share ladies. I am not a scissor collector at all. I have a few pair reserved for sewing and quilting, and a few for cross stitching, and mostly smaller ones that I can carry on an airplane. Enjoy August and Go U.S.A.!!
Hi ladies. I am a scissor snob and like all types and sizes.
Oh lordy did you ask the right question. Scissors? Do I love scissors? So glad you asked. I’m obsessed with smallish and very pointy scissors. If they have colored or decorative handles I love them even more. Each new pair becomes my favorite. I don’t have a lot of WIPs, but each one has a small bag that holds a small screwdriver (for my wooden Nurge hoops), a pair of tweezers and a pair of scissors, so I definitely use them. Visits to needle shops are rare as there is a dearth of ones near me, but I’ve started buying scissors at each shop as a remembrance. And now I want to buy a pair of (reasonably priced) scissors. ✂️ my price range is $10-$30.
What fun you ladies are. Thanks for talking about House of Seven Gables. I did not know that there was a tourist location for that, I love the story and also Vincent Price did a horror movie. It was great.
My scissors are not terribly expensive but not cheap. I have 1 for each WIP and then a extra pair by my stitching spot just in case. Also I have maybe 3 extra so I can switch out to better match them to the project I am working on. I prefer smaller scissors 3 inch size but have a few that are 5 or 6 inch. ✂️
One pair, ginger snips.
I’ve collected several from box memberships/mysteries. I prefer the mini cheap travel scissors ❤❤❤❤❤
My favorite book genre is Urban Fantasy. Bookmark.
Sew Sweet Shop is mostly a quilt shop, but also sells cross stitch. Great place to visit. Quilter’s Station is in Lee’s Summit, Mo. She’s also mostly quilting, but now carries a lot of cross stitch!! Since I am only 10 minutes away from Quilter’s Station I spend a lot of time and money there.😂 Love your videos.
I'm not a collector of scissors but don't complain when they come my way. My favorite pair right now are actually from the dollar tree.
I like all scissors, I will splurge on scissors for quilting, but rounded tip Fiskars for my project bags is just fine! I have repurposed old scissors from my girl's elementary days!
I read everything (including toothpaste tubes) and I guess lately historical fiction has been my genre of choice. I scatter scissors on every surface, toss them in every project bag, and still go looking for them sometimes. I have a couple of pairs of Cohanas that I love best of all for stitching. My Green Bell shears are the best dressmakers I’ve ever had, and I love Ginghers, too.
This is the first of your videos I’ve watched, and I’ll definitely be adding your channel to my must-watch list. (I live in Newfoundland, Canada, and loved the project bag!☺️) I so enjoyed the life and crafting updates and info, and the review of the crochet kits was really great. I’m a pretty good knitter, but have never been able to catch on to crochet. I really love so many of the projects for crochet, so the kits you talked about might just be the thing! Thank you so much for all of the sharing!
Welcome and thanks so much for watching! She's had a really good time with the Woobles kits.
No scissor collector here. I just have a few inexpensive pairs tucked here or there. I love murder mysteries and historical romance. Love your bookmark
Bookmark - Historical Fiction. I do like to collect scissors, but not to an extreme. I have about 20 pairs of embroidery scissors mostly Gingher designer scissors. I do have a few inexpensive scissors that I bought only because they were pretty, but they are not very sharp and I do not use them. Great video today.
I always enjoy your surveys. I always forget to add my choices. I would have chosen Shepherd's Bush. We visited them on a trip last summer and those ladies are jewels. I lamented the fact that all of the gazillion samples on their walls were so beautiful and too small counts for me. I'm 82 and pretty much have to use 14 count Aida. She sweetly told me she had a project just for me. She gave me fabric (I'm not sure the size, but it's big.} It kind of looks like gunny sack fabric. She even gave me a large needle. She showed me their lovely Prairie Schooler Santa pillows they make with this fabric. They use a variety of the Santas. so I could choose my favorite pattern. It was so kind of her. I don't even need my magnifiers to stitch it. They also encouraged our chatty, chatty fifteen year old telling her about a pioneer trek she was about to go on. These are popular activity in among we Mormons and the lady found a cute little project for her to make to take on Trek. We're planning another Utah trip the middle of the month so I'm going to show them my progress. As to the survey, I bought a lot of scissors when I first got back into stitching during Covid. I have scissors in all price ranges, I think, but the ones I use the most are an old pair of stainless steel fold-ups that I bought years ago. I've made myself quit buying scissors since I probably have enough to gift to all my granddaughters! Thanks for a fun post.
Aww, love your story about Shepherd’s Bush - these stores are special because they appreciate all types of stitchers!
I like scissors that are easy to find from my bobbin pile on the table. Fiskars are easy to see.
Hi Ladies - I am not a scissor collector. I have a pair of Gingher dress making shears that I have had for over 48 years. They are still super sharp. I also have two pairs of Gingher embroidery scissors that I use when I am doing any type of hand stitching including cross stitching. I also have Gingher duckbill scissors and pinking shears. Take Care
Beautiful projects ladies. Bookmark - Murder mysteries! Scissors - I just have a couple pair of small scissors from a big box store. I usually have only one or 2 projects in process at any time.
I will add a pair of cute scissors to round out a 123stitch order so I have a collection of about a dozen pairs which I keep in current dip bags. My favorite book genre is historical fiction.
Love your flosstubes! Your daughter is adorable. My daughter has a degree in theatre and is the stage manager for the Missouri Reparatory Theatre in Kansas City Mo. She loves her job. Bookmark --historical fiction.
That’s so cool, would love to connect our daughters so mine could learn from yours!
I got a birthday present of kai scissors which I use mainly for pompoms and cutting out fabric shapes where a wheel doesn't work, and lots of quite sharp, 12 for £10 scissors and some pretty tiny scissors for threads. No one else touches the kai ones! Mainly because I fear for their fingers, they are sharp!
I love the pumpkin Jen. I love your cowl too
I love the diamond painted bookmark. I also do diamond painting. My favorite books are murder mysteries
I have lots of scissors. I have ginger embroidery scissors, I have stork scissors from years ago when my girls were young. I have Karen Kay Buckley assorted sizes scissors and Kai scissors and snips and others.
I’m so happy to have found your channel! Jen, I met you at Stitch-Con. I sat directly behind you at the Texan table and admired all of your stitching projects. I am not a scissor collector yet. My favorite pair are Omnigrips. Bookmark-Mystery.
Thanks so much Lynne, it was great to meet you and look forward to staying in touch via flosstube!
great projects thanks for sharing. Scissors collector OMG another new thing to collect :) - no I don't (currently collect scissors) I really like inexpensive small ones that come three in a pack (love the pink ones) from Amazon. While I only read digitally thought I would share my preferred genre - I call it beach reading - easy reads preferably with a bit of a mystery/crime basis. Enjoy the Olympic stitching.
First of all your daughter/princess is adorable and sweet. Bookmark-genre is murder mystery or romance. I’m a collector of scissors as well, I won’t buy Cohana scissors but I love cute, great quality scissors. As always. It’s always fun to see you two.
Karol, I am like you, I can not see blood. I faint, one time I even hit my head on the floor, it is not funny. Stitchy Fence is adorable!!! I do not collect scissors. It was nice to see the princess, she is a copy of Jennifer. Her diamond painting is so beautiful.
Love your videos. I am a cheap scissor person because I lose them all the time.
Not a scissor collector. My go to is an inexpensive pair of “stork” scissors I got as a gift with subscription to a cross stitch magazine over 30 years ago.
I just have a few scissors, I don't collect them. Jen glad you enjoyed your vacation in Massachusetts. My daughter lives in Salem MA.
I can't imagine how busy that city is in the fall! What a neat place to live though :)
Carol, Jennifer and Jenna...good to see you all...lovely bookmarker..I love to read all types of books...I have several types of small scissors..my husband collects Dollar Tree scissors because my kids were always using my good ones to cut paper and open chips bag's...Dying to Stitch is located in Virginia Beach and produce R & R fabrics...best wishes and happy Olympic watching❤
I love scissors! They don’t have to be expensive. If I think they’re cute, then I need them. I also have my mother’s scissors, and my grandmother’s. These are precious to me. My book genre is Scottish highlanders, as in Outlanders. Don’t know if that’s a genre or not, but it’s what I like.
I have a pair of embroidery scissors that were in a subscription box from Fat Quarter Shop. That's it for crafting. Bookmark. Science Fiction (Deathlands series) and true crime.
The most expensive pair of scissors I have is Gingher. I love scissors, but I can’t see spending a large amount of money on a pair. I have cheap scissors off of Amazon that are functional enough for me. I love crime fiction ie John Sandford or Lee Child. One can always use a good bookmark.
On the subject of scissors, when you’re talking, Crosstitch, I pretty much have one pair of scissors that I use all the time and move from one thing to the next and one pair of travel scissors in a little plastic covered tiny things. Now if you’re gonna talk quilting and sewing scissors, that’s a whole different ball game.
Bookmark favorite book cozy mysteries. Great job ladies.
Cute bookmark, lately I've only read Cookbooks!! I have a decent collection of embroidery scissors, my favorites are by Gingher w/sheaths. I think my oldest Gingher pair is so lightweight, pewter in color, they are well over 30+ years old & I use them every day. And one that was called lift & snip, has a notched blade, great for frogging. I have some others, but nothing too expensive. I've seen Scissors at my LNS from $80 & Up, no thanks, I'd rather buy more charts & fabrics with that money. I have the Fiskar travel scissors in the orange & lilac colors, a few from Yarn tree, Dinky Dyes, and 1 of those mini ones with the matching cover, in Pink. It would be nice to have 1 for each WIP :) Thanks for having your daughter on, fun video.
I have a lot of small scissors - and like to keep one with each project. Non of them are expensive.
Celine Dion was magnificent! I had goose bumps listening to her.
Bookmark- Historical Non-Fiction. Scissors- I like my Kai. Not a collector. Love the quilt, Carol. Love your videos, Ladies!
Beautiful quilt! Love the guest host. You two are Olympic gold! So much fun to see you.
Love you guys!!! You always have it together!! I’d love to stitch for summer Olympics. I know you are fans…. me…. Not so much🤷♀️ I’m not sure why tho🤷♀️
Hi! Great show again ladies. I live in Ogden, Utah and Shepherd’s Bush is a treasure. A must see for any visiting cross stitcher! Lovely shop and the owners are so helpful😃
Always enjoy your flosstube- was another great one!
What a treat to have The Princess join y'all on the video today! I ❤ to read fiction and biography mostly. I don't really have any fancy scissors but if someone gifted me some I would enjoy them. Lol Bookmark
Bookmark. I am a big Robert Galbraith fan (J.K. Rowling is the actual author). She writes a series of books that are murder mysteries so I would have to say murder mysteries are my favorite. Best wishes to The Princess and the Prince in their academic endeavors!
Always enjoy your visits.
I love reading historical fiction and nonfiction. I also enjoy autobiographies and biographies. Princess, it was nice to see your accomplishments. Your diamond painting is so cool. Please visit again. Loved the bookmark.
I have several pairs of scissors but I use the ones that I have had for over 40 years. They are still in great shape.
I loved Celine Dion in the Opening ceremony. Heck, i loved the whole Opening Ceremony! Jennifer, you can speak any way you want and it is ok with me. Love your quilt, Carol. and your Tiny Town finish. I have lots of inexpensive scissors, retreat gifts mainly. Then, i have 4 pricey pairs. I have two Premax Ringlock pairs which are my favorites. Curved tips, very sharp, nice hand shape. I also have 2 pairs of Cohanas, bought during the craze 2 years ago n colors i liked - a dusty rose and a pale spearminty green. They are very pretty but aren’t as good as the Premax. I would say how beautiful the b__k marks are but i read on a kindle and don’t need to win them. Lastly, Dyeing to Stitch is in Virginia Beach, Va 😁 Thanks for sharing ladies xx
Love the pine cones on Jen’s Christmas piece. Love the red cardinal piece
Enjoyed our visit today. I love to read cozy mysteries and historical fiction and always have a bookmark for each one. I have a variety of scissors for different sewing and crafting. I have Ginghers and Kai and lots of the little colorful ones that you find at the counter in the LNS or LQS. I love the little bags from Shepherds Bush that Carol showed. You enabled me and I am currently working on Stitching calms the soul.
Thank you for your kind words about our Canadian icon, Celine Dion. She's not had an easy life but has carried on with grace and her voice continues to thrill us all.
I love true crime books.
I live about 20 miles from holiday world! We have season passes!
I would too if I lived that close - it’s a great park!
Lovely stitching as always. The quilt of the day is gorgeous. I love the little Woobles. I'm so tempted to try one. The bookmark is beautiful. I read Mystery and SciFi/Fantasy. Happy Stitching! My current favorite scissors are Sew Mate Rainbow Thread Cutters. I have a few pairs all in purple 💜 I do have some other random ones and a few pairs of Ginghers that I hide from the family because they are only for fabric and threads
I enjoy romance with comedy books. I love your bookmark! I like having a pair of scissors in every project bag. All my scissors are cheap. I love the fun colors & patterns on scissors!
Great show girls! Love seeing your daughter. I don’t collect all the do-dads. I have one pair of Henkel 100 mm sizzors my mom gave me 30-35 years ago.
I love your princess’ discussion on her wobbles hobby. I love to bookmark in my ebook historical fiction. I could use a bookmarker for physical books. I love my small Gingher scissors for my main at home project and I use the cheaper small scissors for a random pick up and go project because I would be sad to lose my Gingher!
Lovely to see the three generations together on the channel again! Lovely projects as always, ladies. I am not a collector of scissors but have two pair of Ginghers and several other even less expensive pairs and snips.
Oh scissors … I can’t justify those fancy expensive scissors just to cut thread. I have Gingher and Fiskars for sewing, and various scissors for cross stitch, cute ones, cheap ones, teeny ones. It all cuts the floss.
Such a pretty quilt of the day, Carol! Thank you for sharing Jenna with us😊 So fun to see what she’s been working on! As for a bookmark, my favorite genre is historical fiction - especially when it’s rooted in true events. Scissors - I don’t collect. I do have a special pair that I always use (and actually have my 2nd pair because I wore the finish off the 1st pair). They are Gingher embroidery scissors with large finger grips. I do have several other pairs, generally tiny pairs to use when I’m away from my stitchy spot. As always, thank you for sharing!💚 See you soon!
