Funniest line that I’ve heard lately, “somebody made me buy it!” Thank you for all the great videos, information & laughs. 😂😂😂❤❤❤
I just discovered you two lately. I love the dynamics between mother and daughter, reminds me of my mother and my daughter. I'm going to binge watch your other flosstube episodes. Thanks for the entertainment and inspiration.
Thank you so much!
What a lovely trip and great photos! Great stitching and quilts!
Thanks for the videos. We’re melting here in TX. Sooooo hot! Stitching with GAST Cranberry just makes my heart happy
Pink!!!🦩 Enjoyed watching today! 😊
Red! Thanks for sharing today!
I just finished a tiny Christmas Tree stitch that was forest green. I've had that pattern for probably forty years. When we moved back to the Philly area my boss from way back when called me and invited us over around Christmas time. His wife showed me the pinecone wreath I made for them that many years ago along with that Christmas Tree stitch. I realized I had one started for us but I never made it. It's actually a stencil in the pattern to paint on the trees and then the rest is in cross stitch. Short answer to the question - forest green.
Thankyou for your excellent advice on sewing machines ❤
Blue! Have a great stitchy week!
Love your flosstube ❤. I love one color black or dark brown. Thank you for sharing your vacation pictures
Another fun adventure with you -- thanks so much! My DH and I drove down the Oregon coast to San Francisco (from Calgary, Alberta) years ago; I've also visited La Conner (and the quilt museum) and Oak Harbor when I was taking contemporary hand stitch lessons from Gail Harker back in the day. I've never seen the quilt show, so it was fun to see your photos. To answer your question about monochromatic samplers, I've done a few and will send photos to your e-mail. Have a great few weeks!
That quilt is so bright and beautiful! So appealing! Love your temperature chart more than any other I've seen. I do love the tree though. If Stitching Mommy does a Willow tree, I'm in!
And that Apple Blossom Sampler turned out gorgeous! I love doing letters, (and backstitch, French knots and specialty stitches❤)
Carol and Jen...what a wonderful video...loved all your finishes today...just beautiful...I have finally found a birth announcement from JBW Design, that I can stitch all in pink or blue...thanks for the lovely vacation picture's and safe travels to drop you daughter off at college...and best of luck Carol in finding a dog...best wishes and happy stitching ❤❤
Loved the sip and stitch winter chart from primrose and it was such a fun pillow to make, you’ll love stitching it Carol❤ jenn your vacation sounded delightful! I went to sisters quilt show a long long time ago before my Grandmother passed she was just the most fantastic hand quilter and loved that part of the country! She actually visited every state several times after she retired and I think she hit most quilt shops! Well 2 or 3 per state anyway! 😂 blessings for a great week or two ladies! Oh Carol I have a one year old Gray mantle Great Dane I’d you really want one😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂oh my single color choice is blue always❤
Hi Ladies! Thanks for the mention on your video! It was great to see you. I still haven’t put away all of the loot from my Ohio trip, but maybe I’ll work on that today. At least I have been stitching on fabric I bought there. Working on Summer Quaker by Lila’s Studio. The colors make me happy!
Hi Carol and Jennifer, you have really been busy stitching and finishing. 👏👏👏 All beautiful pieces. I would stitch in RED. Happy Stitching. ❤❤❤
Love your videos. They always make me laugh. If I would work on a sampler with one color thread it would probably be either a dark charcoal, gray or a chocolate brown.Jennifer, was fun hearing about your recent vacation and the quilt show. Beautiful pictures. 🙂
Loved the video and always seeing both of you! Carol your quilt is stunning!
Great finishes, I really love doing the finishing on my projects. I’m recently retired and have been finishing ALL my stitching of 30 years! So far it’s been about 120 pieces. So glad they’re not stored away anymore! I turned a bedroom into my studio so all the walls are full!
Have a great week and I’ll see you guys next time! Blessings from Tulsa! Karen
Wow, Karen - that’s impressive - glad you are enjoying the finishing and thanks for watching!
More wonderful finishes!🥇🥇 Thank you for the update. Red, blue or variegated, depending on the pattern and recipient.
So many awesome finishes…wow! My next monochromatic work will be royal purple thread, my husband’s favorite colour.
This was my first time watching and I will be back! I really enjoyed both of you! Happy stitching!
Thanks so much!
Great to see all of your stitching! I would choose navy as my color.
Green variegated floss for monochromatic for sure. I had a moment of joy when I thought you found that golden to be your new companion. Dang. Hope you find the right dog soon. Love the diversity pattern in your haul. 🍺 cheers eh!
The Thread Milk Texas design is great! The Calculated Stitcher just showed and I loved. But I'm from Tennessee so I have to wait...
I loved following along on your vacation on Instagram! And a big woo hoo for both of you on all of the FFO's!
Thanks Helen!
one color floss - I would choose a hank of mis-dyed thread from Colour and Cotton. Love them!
Always enjoy dropping in on your chats. Wish my mum was still around so she and I could do craft together.
35th Avenue Sew and Vac in Phoenix is an awesome quilt shop. Didn’t go on vacation but if someone is here on vacation…place to go. Three locations in and around but Phoenix is the largest. Probably a good thing the boys got there when they did or you may not have had room for you to ride back in the car! Just finished a one color sampler…red. Next one will be blue.
GREEN. I just finished a HUGE (like 2'x2') green Vierlanden sampler and now I want to do lots of other samplers in shades of green and make a gallery wall.
I would choose DMC 820, it's a beautiful dark Blue. Thank you for the video. Going to acorns and threads is on my bucket list. Your projects are beautiful. enjoy your next few weeks.
Beautiful projects and finishes ladies! I always laugh when I watch you both. Thank you! Acorns and Threads sounds amazing. I’ll have to look to see if they have a website. My go to for one color thread projects is usually red. Happy stitching…and bag making, Jen😉
Good to see you, love your new stash. Have a safe trip taking your daughter to her college in New York. I also love your new little patterns you bought. I love the color blue, so blue or red would be my choice for a cross stitch. See you next time.
I like using a very dark blue for monochromatic stitching!
Hey there gals! I’ve been on vacay and not a good signal and am finally catching up on flosstube. Loved your video as always. It takes a strong woman to resist a puppy. The right dog will find you. Good luck. Hope to see you soon!❤
Love your quilt, Jen, and your Apple blossom sampler is beautiful, Carol. My monochromatic stitching color is green - somewhere in the 500-504 series. I am interested in the Ink Circles Ireland piece, with your colors and fabric. Happy stitching!
I haven't done a one color red stitch yet so I would like to try that. Y'all had so much to share today and I really enjoyed it all.
Great video!! You ladies get so many FFO’s! You inspire me!! Glad your vacation was terrific! I have done one monochromatic piece using a variegated DMC red/purple. I have 2 blue monochromatic patterns kitted up. I want to do a purple and I want to do a red sampler. Happy stitching.
Great finishes! Glad you had a nice trip! I hope you find your new fur baby soon. I stitch with blue or red if I am only using one color.
The Stitching Shop in Denver, CO is a must stop and see. I would use red in a one color stitch.
It looks like you had a wonderful vaction, thanks for sharing. I am working on a redwork embroidery (prestamped) it was a project my mom started years ago and I inherited it when she passed away, it is seperate quilt blocks to embroider and then connect, I am on the last one, it was her favorite color.
I did a Quaker Halloween piece all in black. A beautiful Linen and Threads piece all in blue. I have a red work pattern all ready to go. Seeing your Ireland piece, I am ready to do a green one!! Evidently, I am fickle!😂
Enjoyed hearing about all your adventures, seeing all the beautiful stitching, quilting, and your haul. I have 3 one color projects going: a red hands Across the Sea small sampler, a green Hands Across the Sea little sampler, and Lady Halloween in black. Need to work on all of them and get them finished!
Purple!!!!
You are right! Acorns and Threads is beyond words! I go there when visiting my family…usually twice! Loved hearing about the favorite shops as we travel from NC to OR to visit family! 💕
Red of course.
I’ve done a single color red and another that was DMC variegated red. But if I do another single color piece I think I would like a medium blue. Best of luck on the settle-in-at-college-trip.
I have always wanted to do a monochromatic piece would use green or red. Enjoyed your video as always!!
I use Missus Sedas silk 'Copper' for Christmas Windows by Galliana Crossstitch.
Another of my monochrome wips I stitch with a dark blue Sulky.
When I stitch monochrome, I usually let the fabric colour decide which colour to use. 😊
What a great trip to Washington and Oregon. I would love to go to Sisters Quilt Show. But it is hard to get my husband to travel. Love your videos!
I am new to your channel. Truth be told, I haven't stitched in over two years. Now that I am back stitching (like a crazy person), I have been Floss Tube surfing. I am soooooo happy I found your channel. Lovely patterns, finishes, and the quilt behind you is awesome! Thanks so much for a very informational video. I'll be back. I've subscribed.
Thread color favorite: Sea blue or aqua, anything in that range of color. Anything in the blue range of color. 😆
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
I have a pattern that's done in all blue so I may stick with that. But it's the inside of a house so I want to add spots of color, like yellow flames for a candle for instance. The other pattern is on blue fabric and done all in white, called Dashing Through the Snow. That one I'm doing in just white...B5200. I know someone who said it would be hot in Texas the other day at 102. Yeah, hold my 🧋 iced tea dude...call me when it's 117. 😂🌵We've been breaking records in Phoenix for a couple of weeks now. But thank you for your kind thoughts. It is summer in the desert, after all.
my color is blue. A piece of advice, before you take your daughter to college. The night before, take her in her room and say good-bye to her and get all of the crying over with. Then when you take her to college give her one last hug and leave. It works. Take care
Thanks so much for the advice - that is a great idea! I have warned her I will cry at some point and I think she will too but we are going to do our best!
Great video- sounds like your trip was fun!! I love that part of the country to visit. Solid color stitching… so far it’s been black, white, red & black raspberry (a blue/black). I love stitching a monochromatic piece. I still need to find a white thread that lays better than DMC.
Stitching a black cat and a purple one.
My favorite color is red, so I am drawn to it. But I also have some ideas for deep blue or green. Thanks for a great video! Take care.
My color would be green!
I believe the color I would use as a one color project would be purple.
Leather Bound by Cottage Garden Threads is a lovely color I’ve usdd
I borrowed an idea from The Museum Stitcher. Pink Tourmaline floss from Dinky Dyes on peony fabric from Fiber on a whim for Jane Austin pattern by Modern Folk.
As always, I enjoyed your video so much. Those finishes are awesome. I’m glad you had a great vacation. Praying that your husband has a good outcome!
So far I have only stitched with red thread, but I am anxious to begin JBW design O're The Fields We Go which is white thread on red cloth. Also, we just redid our den. That is now blue and white, so I may have to do a piece using blue thread. I enjoy the one color designs. I will send you pics through email of my 2 finishes. Really enjoy your videos. Look forward to each one of them.
I enjoyed your video so much. Your finishes are so beautiful and very much enjoyed seeing all the projects that you've been working on and of course, seeing your fabulous haul. I recently stitched and finished a lovely red sampler from the Ooh La La Blackbird Designs book and it turned out so pretty. So I would definitely stitch more red samplers when I'm readiy to do another monochromatic piece however I also want to do a design all in blue and one all in black as well. Thank you for another great video.
I just finished one in blue, and two Halloween in black. I really enjoyed stitching monochromatic pieces. Not sure if I have done before (maybe) but I have more in the planning/kitting in blue, black and red individually! Alphabets! Maybe I will send pics to you two!?!
I am almost done with my Apple Blossom Sampler. I have a few letters left and the specialty stitches. Yours looks great! I am taking the idea from Michelle with MommaLovesyouGB where she used an old door knob for a bell pull. I found an old door knob at a local antique shop. Our county fair was last weekend. One of my entries got Best of County and that is going to our Nebraska State Fair. So exciting lol.
Congratulations on your fair win!
Thanks for the video. I'm not doing a single color piece right now, but.if I was, it would be a variegated blue floss.
Navy blue
I only have one monochromatic WIP and it is a Christmas piece in red, so I guess that’s my color! I would also like to do a black one at some point.
I'd probably stitch in red, but I have a cone of black and 500 dark green, so those would also be contenders...
I loved Stretch N Sew and also took many classes with them. Love your videos. By the way I don’t get enabled I feel empowered to buy all the things.
Working on a single color piece now, white thread on red fabric.
Love hearing about your trip. Sisters is on my bucket list. My stitching color would be purple. It's my favorite color.
Love the latest video! I’m starting a monochromatic chart ‘Merry Christmas’ by All Through the Night in DMC 221
Hi ladies. Loved everything today. I am really into red samplers right now. Can we please see the pup and kitty some time?
I always enjoy watching you two. If I have a monochromatic piece, I tend to go with black.
Always so much fun spending time with the two of you😊Beautiful stitching and love the quilt.
Thank you Cindy!
Glad you had such a great trip with the family, and how nice to visit the quilt show and Acorns (and to have Carol do the airport run and watch the pets!). My favorite monochromatic piece color is red, but I also have enjoyed doing blue and black pieces. Love your projects, and finishes!
I have done one single color and it was red. I would use red again. Love it!
I would do a. Navy blue. For a one Color stitch project.❤❤
I would use green
Juki makes a semi industrial
Machine which does straight stitching only.
Love both of your stitching. The drawn thread piece is beautiful.
Jen, I love your project my forest. We built our house among 10 acres of pine trees and I think I need that pattern. Carol, your apple blossom sampler is beautiful.
I didn’t get a chance to watch last video but if I may, I’d like to suggest another couple of shops.
I am Canadian & live in Alberta but we often go down to Las Vegas & I try to get to Stitcher’s Paradise (needlework) and The Christmas Goose
(quilting/wool appliqué)
So much eye candy in both.
If I had to pick a color to stitch with it, any shade of green would do.
Thanks for posting, I enjoy watching. Heather Miller
The one color pieces I’ve done have usually been red. Did a variegated lavender as that’s the ribbon color for all cancers for one piece. Carol, I have a feeling you and Jack have a good time together! My Great Aunt who loved sports delighted in having her grandsons come over when they got to the age that they could drive themselves to her home and they’d all watch sports together. She provided appropriate snacks! She was always the most enthusiastic cheerleader at all of their sporting events growing up as I think you are!🪡
Thanks for the congratulations, when you come to bestitchme let me know and I will meet you there, also 2 quilt stores close by, orange blossom in leclaire and bettys thimble in orion, a little further out is little red hen in Muscatine.
Love your videos & the joy in crafting that you share together. I have thought about starting a monochromatic project - color would probably depend on the pattern, maybe burgundy.
Recently returned from vacation in Branson Missouri. Five minutes from our hotel was Cecilia’s Samplers. OMG! It was like walking into a candy store for stitchers. The store is small but is packed with threads, patterns, fabric, and all the accessories and tools one would need. Good thing I had limited time or I could have spent the whole day looking at everything. Loved it. Have done several red work embroidery projects.
Sounds like a lot of fun!
Monochromatic piece - I would do in green!
I’m late to watch this floss tube but I’m doing long dog samplers Dilemma in DMC 915.
Why do I think there is a story behind you not ordering the Texas cross stitch pattern.😂 I always thoroughly enjoy your videos. So much eye candy.
Thanks for sharing ❤ Sisters has been on my list for a while and your sharing was fun! I love greens - my single color would be a sage -y green color 🎉
While my favorite color is DMC 550 (bright purple), I don't think I would do a monochromatic piece with it. I think I would use a navy blue like 939...depending on the pattern and fabric choice.
Fabulous finishes!! Glad you had a fantastic trip!
Beautiful quilt behind you. So colorful.
Red
Great flosstube! I was in hospital for a week. Have diabetes. Might very possibly lose my big toe. Hate to. We will see. Big toe bad to lose since affects my balance. Hope dog purchase goes well. Hope College goes well. Am home. Challenging. Husband taught to put antibiotics in two ports. ❤️❤️❤️🧵🧵
Hope you are doing better, sorry to hear you’ve been dealing with this.
My sister and I would love to come to one of your retreats if you ever have any openings.
We’d love to have you! All the retreat info is on my blog, link is in the video comments. We are full and taking a waitlist for both at the moment, but happy to add you!
Wonderful stitching! I love your videos! Best wishes on the college trip and also in finding your perfect fur companion!💕💕
Thank you for sharing!!💚 All the FFOs are awesome!!! Jen - you aren’t too far behind on your temp chart😊 I have not stitched a one-color project yet😳 But… I have a BAP kitted up - and my choice was Black Coffee (Classic Colorworks). Is that more specific than you were asking?!?!? 🤣🤣
