Beth - WOW....What an accomplished needleworker; your stitching is Gorgeous! I learned so much from watching your first video and hope there are many more to come. Thank you for sharing your time & talent with us.
Pajamas are the best! I have a monthly subscription so I concur, just stay in the Pajamas and stitch! I'm in Washington as well. Been here since 2003.. I love it here.
Pajamas are the best, I completely agree. We have been here since 2005. Maybe one day our stitching paths will cross, you never know! Thank you for watching.
Welcome to flosstube Beth. Great first video, your stitching is fabulous. Thank you so much for the Stitching Bunny Bags shout out. It means the world to me that you are pleased with your Project Roll. Hope it holds your treasures for many years to come. @Stitchingbunny1127
Thank you for watching and I was happy to share about my Project Roll, although after rewatching my video I realized I kept calling it a Project Roll Bag. Sorry about that. I do love it though and it currently holds many treasures. Thank you again.
Congratulations on your first floss tube! Enjoyed all your FFOs and WIPS. Plus all your experience with cross stitch. I look forward to your future videos! Happy stitching! 🙂
Thank you so much. There are so many other FlossTubes out there that I hope that I can bring something to the table that others are interested in. Thank you for your kind words.
So nice to see you joined the flosstube journey. I first was introduced to you and your sister was on Sylvia's channel. That's when I started following you on Instagram. Happy stitching. ❤
What a great video! Between your finished samplers and the antiques on the back wall, I was weak in the knees. How beautiful they all are. But I have to say that my favorite item you shared was your very first sampler. What a treasure. My first piece is a rabbit dresser scarf from my 4th grade craft show and, though a little crude, it is priceless to me. Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you for your kind words and thanks for watching. I agree, our early treasures are our most cherished pieces. I hope you have your on scarf on display for all to enjoy. Thank you again. ❤️
I like your philosophy why dress when you can stitch. Your initial piece is beautiful asis flowers of spring. I enjoyed your video enormously. Happy stitching
Welcome to Floss Tube. I enjoyed your video very much. I have been stitching since 1980, and the Catherine Theron and Darleen Osteen samplers are very familiar to me. I started stitching on stamped cross stitch pieces as a 10 year old. Learned to do needlepoint, and in 1980 I learned to cross stitch. I fell in love with cross stitching and never looked back. I look forward to another video from you in the future.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching. It sounds like we have a lot in common, although needlepoint was not something I ever really tried. Maybe that's because I discovered cross stitch first and like you, never looked back. Here's to more Catherine and Darlene projects in our futures.
Delightful first video. I too love Darleen O’Steen’s designs. I treasure my copy of her book “ The Proper Stitcher” which is the best book to learn fancy stitches. Her diagrams are well done, easy to read and follow. Good luck on your sampler business with your sister. I hope to stitch one someday.
Thank you so much and thank you for watching. And I have to agree: Darlene’s book is the best resource for specialty stitches. I use it for a reference often. Thank you again. ❤️
Loved meeting you Beth🌹 Darlene O’Steen is one of my favorite designers.. I have stitched 🧵 many of them… & Queen stitch is m favorite also I love the Eyelet stitch , any Reproduction Sampler with specialty stitches I enjoy.. My first reproduction was by The Examplarer a class with JoAnne Harvey at Dearborn Museum, (Michigan) and I was hooked . Then Scarlet letter many Ackworrh samplers.. and many more. Been stitching since 74. It was sooooo good to fall upon your channel ., Loved each WIP & yourcMAD :-)) Finally a Floss tube that is really all about Samplers & History . Appreciate your input. Blessings Ohio
Thank you so much for your kind words and we have so much in common. I would love to see some of your samplers. Hopefully I can stop being mad at my WIP and finally get it finished. ❤
Welcome to FlossTube. Great 1st video. Love your projects they are absolutely beautiful. I still have my 1st embroidery project that I did in 8th grade. It was a Sunbonnet Sue pillow cover. Looking forward to your next video.
Hi, I am a very happy subscriber from the Shetland Isles. I don't make flosstube videos but I do cross stitch. I'm not a fast stitcher because of my eyesight but I love to do it anyway. I have so enjoyed stitching to your wonderful first video. I have already subscribed and I very much look forward to your next one! Happy anniversary to you and your husband. Your stitching is very beautiful by the way. Just wonderful all round! Take care. Happy stitching.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching! Oh how I would love to see the Shetland Isles one day. I’m thrilled you love your stitching process, and speed doesn’t matter. It’s a personal journey for each one of us and isn’t meant to be a competition, just do what you love. Hugs to you.
I loved your stitching journey. It is much like my own. I’ve been stitching, knitting and crocheting since I was six. I started with stamped cross stitch also. That was what was available where I lived. I fell in love immediately with all “womanly arts” as my Dad used to say lol. I’m so pleased to see many men stitching as that not the way it was back then. I’m in my 70’s now and of course long removed from stamped kits and Anchor Threads. There was no DMC available where I lived in a tiny town. I’ve stitched with cotton, flower threads, wool and silk. Silk is my very fave. Do you remember when we never had over-dyed threads? I love Weeks and of course Classic Colorworks/Sampler Threads. It is always like a party when I receive new threads in the mail! Take care and welcome to the community. Please tell your company we need more quantity of Gloriana!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching! Our journeys do sound similar! And how spoiled we’ve become compared to what was available then. But because we didn’t know any better we loved it all the same. It’s so fun now to have all the color choices for both threads and fabric. And you’re right, it’s always a party when those fun packages come in the mail. I will pass along your comments about Gloriana. Any particular colors you have in mind?
I just found you! All I can say is WOW! Your stitching is gorgeous and I love all of your pieces. I can't believe this is your first video...really? You are so organized and easy to listen to and watch. Thanks for sharing...I will be watching for the next one! Happy Stitching Beth!
Thank you for watching and your kind words. This whole thing is definitely outside my wheelhouse so I’m glad it wasn’t super obvious. Now the pressure comes to decide what will be in episode 2. 😬 Thank you again. ❤️
Thank you very much and gain you for watching. I really need to get back to that piece now because there’s really no good excuse for keeping it in the bottom of my bag. Thank you for the encouragement!
A few floss tubers recommended to watch you. You have beautiful pieces that you stitched and l love the samplers. I would like to learn the queen stitch and other specialty stitches that you could show on tutorials. Welcome to Floss tube. Great job 👏🏻
Thank you so much for watching and your kind words. I am definitely going to start figuring out how to do tutorials and the Queen Stitch will be my first one. Thank you for the interest and stay tuned!
Your stitching is stunning!! I was fortunate to take the bee contained class by Betsy Morgan and have the little pieces stitched and need to finish the rest ... she was a fascinating teacher !! I do have the willing hands book so I should be able to get it done. I look forward to your next flosstube! 😻
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching! You can totally finish those pieces, especially since you have her book too. I look forward to seeing your finished Bee Contained!
Beth, thank you for sharing the delightful video podcast with us...your stitching is amazing and I love your samplers...best wishes and happy stitching ❤❤
Hello this is Mary Ann from South Jersey your sampler that's been in timeout for 10 years is beautiful and thank you for sharing I'm new at cross stitching have a nice day❤❤
I really enjoyed your first FlossTube! Interestingly, I just moved from WA State (Bellingham) to the San Antonio area….the opposite of you (years ago, of course). Too bad we didn’t meet when I was still up that way. Looking forward to more FlossTubes ❤
Thank you for watching and I’m disappointed that our paths never crossed while you were still in Bellingham. Maybe we will meet one day at a future stitching event. Thank you again.
I learned to cross stitch from my maternal gramma same as you. Started with stamped and then counted. I have a few antique samplers and sampler books myself. Love them. Janice
Hi Beth, I loved your first Flosstube and look forward to the next. You had me hooked at "I love the queen stitch." If you decide a tutorial on queen stitches is in your future, I would be thrilled. In 2024, a friend and I are starting the American Antique Sampler by Sandy Orton. We both love this sampler and want to stitch it, but it does have a LOT of queen stitches. I have been practicing on different count fabrics and with different threads, but it is a bit intimidating. Any advise would be helpful. Thanks for showing us your stitching.
I’m thrilled you want to learn more about the Queen Stitch. I will definitely work on a tutorial so that you can be very confident with your 2024 SAL. Can’t wait to see it!
Thanks for watching! My sister said I need to call my pajamas by their real name and not just "my Costco pajamas" but that's too hard for me to remember. :-) Enjoy stitching in your pajamas!
Loved your first floss tube! Especially love that you highlighted Darleen’s sampler-she is a favorite designer of mine too. Sadly I never had the chance to take a class from her but I own many of her designs and love working on them! I look forward to your next video. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Thanks for watching. Darlene was a special lady and I feel lucky that I got to take classes from her. I have another class piece of hers that I really should get back to. I would enjoy seeing your samplers of hers that you are working on.
Wow! Your stitching is amazing. I have already subscribed and will be anxiously awaiting your next floss tube. It would be fabulous if you did some tutorials on specialty stitches, especially the Queen Stitch, which you do beautifully.
Thank you your kind words and thank you for watching. I will definitely start working on figuring out how to do tutorials, and I will start with the Queen Stitch. Thank you again.
Welcome! Great stitching! Looking forward to more from you! Very beautiful stitching! I just hope more stitchers will at least try some of the " specialty stitches" as they are fun to do and add so much to the piece!
Thank you very much and thanks for watching. I hope I can encourage more stitchers to try some of the specialty special if they are interested in them. They really are quite fun!
Awesome first video! Love all your projects and specialty stitches are amazing. Sorry but I love eyelet stitches and would love to see the Queen stitch, it is one stitch that I can’t get. The title of your Flosstube is great. Thank you for sharing your stitching journey and projects. I have some stamped table runners from the 80’s that we still use today. There is one we use for our Easter basket. Happy Stitching
Thank you so much and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I will work on a incorporating the Queen Stitch into an upcoming video now that I see that there is some interest in it; a new editing skill that I will have to figure out. 🤔😆 Continue to use and love your stamped pieces, they are such treasures.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for watching. The Unicorn might have to go on some sort of rotation; it has been punished long enough.
I am amazed at your needlework pieces. I found out about you from stitching bunny's video. The antique samplers behind you are so interesting. I went to your sampler shop website and subscribed to your newsletter. As far as your love of queen stitch I dont get it. I have never mastered it. I am looking very forward to watching more from you. I purchased both vol. 1 and 2 of Willing Hands a few weeks ago. Your bee box is exquisite. Scarlett Barger. 😊
Thank you, Scarlett, for your kind words and thank you for watching! If you're interested, I will help you with your Queen Stitch. I'm trying to decide how I'm going to do the videos for those stitches that others would like to see. I hope you enjoy both of the Willing Hands books. They are great resources to add to your collection, and if you ever stitch one of the projects from them I would love to see it! Thank you again.
Great 1st Flosstube. I very much enjoyed it. How lucky of you to work for Gloriana! Your projects are very beautiful. Looking forward to checking out your Sampler designs. Marilyn
Enjoyed your presentation and look forward to the next one. Yes, I think any demonstrations of your stitching “stitches” specialty or any techniques you pass on would be appreciated Thanks
Thank you for watching. I'm currently thinking about how I will incorporate tutorials since so many seem to be interested in that, so thank you for confirming I should do it. Stay tuned!
loved your flosstube Beth, and I also love to stitch in pajamas ..... what other way is there ! I took Betsy Morgan's Bee class, I think it was her last class before she retired, i need to work on that - its so beautiful..... Love your sampler also, look forward to that one coming out...... excited to hear more from you in the future :)
Thank you Vickie for watching. Definitely finish your Bee Contained, it’s a very sweet piece, and I look forward to seeing yours finished. Stay tuned for more new sampler updates. ❤️
Great job! I think I was at Williamsburg at the same time, but I took another class .Show us your wall of stitching behind you sometime. Love your stitching
I would be very interested in seeing what class you took. I don’t remember what other projects I did that trip, I only remember Darlene’s. Maybe there weren’t any because I don’t have another finish. 🥴😁 Thanks for watching. ❤️
I liked and subscribed within the first few moments of your flosstube and that rarely happens. So glad you decided to share some of your thoughts and work - have stitched many of the same samplers / Same for books - looking forward to your videos. Thanks - this was a nice way to begin my day! Nupur
Hi Beth - So glad you decided to do a flosstube and, that I found you! It was a delight to hear you talk about your stitching background and show us your exquisite WIPS and I look forward to more.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching. I'm feeling the pressure now to come up with something interesting for Episode 2! ;-)
It is so nice to find a new and great flosstube like this! I would love to learn new stitches like the queen stitch! Also, I'd love to know which shops carry your reproduction samplers. I look forward to more episodes!
Thank you so much! Looks like I’ll be demonstrating the Queen Stitch some time in the near future. 😁 If you visit our website www.mysisterssamplers.com there’s a “Where To Find Us” link at the top of the page. If your favorite LNS is not listed, we’ll be happy to ship them whatever they need. Thanks so much for watching and being interested in our samplers. ❤️
Your first floss tube was filled with all kinds of inspiration. I love to see all of the things you have done and plans for the future. I will be eagerly awaiting each episode you have to share with us. Happy Stitching. Marcy
Marcy, thank you so much for your kind words and thanks for watching. I must say I'm nervous now about my second video living up to expectations. Thank you for the encouragement.
I really enjoyed your floss tube. I heard about you from pumpkin hollow quilts. I thought it was neat to see the first thing that you stitched. The first thing that I stitched, my mom had taught me how to cross stitch was a teddy bear design and I made it into a pillow. I’m looking forward to seeing your second video. 🙂
Thanks so much and thank you for telling me where you heard about me. I didn't know about her channel before but now I do! I'm very glad I've kept my first piece all this time. It gets more special to me every day. Do you still have your pillow?
You are an amazing stitcher!! I found your floss tube through Brenda and the Serial Starter. I would love tutorials to learn how to do the specialty stitches.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching. There definitely seems to be an interest in the specialty stitches so that will be something that I move forward with. Any specific stitch in particular? Thank you again.
For Ocean City-figure out how much more space you need left/right. Make the square a little bigger. Stitch a simple border around the roll to adjust size(alternating x’s or something) Make other pocket a little wider also-or just make your margin of fabric a teensy bit bigger. It doesn’t look like you need much extra space. If that seems too much-pick a different word from the trip that is meaningful -family, beach, some word referencing something you did-that could work. Literally think outside the box. Good luck!
Thank you so much for the suggestions and thank you for watching! I will see if making the pocket bigger affects anything but I also like your idea about using a different word. Hmmmmm..... Definitely food for thought. Thank you for taking the time to poke my brain a bit.
Congratulations 🎉 on your first flosstube! Your stitching is so beautiful and it’s awesome to see some of your completed projects. I look forward to seeing more of your work in your future flosstubes! You have sooooo much to share. I would love to see the queen stitch showcased. And maybe Lucy Navier will make an appearance?? Thanks for the shopping shout out!
Thank you Tracy. ❤️ Lucy Navier was on the list but then I decided I needed something to show in episode 2. 😆 For sure next time. She almost needs her own Flosstube. 🤭
Fabulous first video! I can’t wait to see your Unicorn finish!!!! And now I have to pull out my Catherine Theron piece as well. Hope to see your next video soon!
Well done!! Enjoyed seeing all your lovely projects and ideas. My first sampler is dated 1972 and it was a Better Homes & Gardens kit. Like you, I did all the tea towels, pillow cases and dresser scarves. Look forward to seeing episode #2.
Welcome! Loved your 1st-and appreciated the comments on Darleen O’Steen, who I researched a bit. And learned her final days were spent just a few miles up the road from where I now live, in NC. Would enjoy if you’d review some of your favorite stitching/sampler books.
Thank you for watching! I do think Darlene spent the majority of her life in NC; how I would have liked to have gone to some of her events in your area because I have never been. My plan is to do a book review kind of thing as part of my videos so I’m glad to know there might be an interest in that. Anything in particular you’d like me to show? Thank you again.
@@StitchingInMyPajamas Hello! I love Samplers and am fascinated by those which are American made and appreciate differences by region. Also enjoy learning about the European samplers and their differences. If you have books about these, I’d like to hear your reviews. Also, needlework tools which are part of our storied history. I have the book “Threads of Life” by Clare Hunter which I haven’t yet cracked open-others might be interested in this or other historical books. Just a few ideas - I’m certain your creative mind will have many others! There are so many FlossTubers out there-I think this would help set you apart and appeal to the more serious stitchers. 😘 Wishing you the very best in your journey! Stephanie Martin
@@stephaniemartin8824 Thank you so much for your comments, and I'm sorry that I'm just seeing these now. These are all great topics that I will work on incorporating into my future flosstubes and I appreciate you taking the time to share them with me. Hugs to you. ❤
Thank you very much and thank you for watching. There seems to be enough interest that I think that I will put together some videos showing different stitches. Thank you for your interest. ❤️
Fantastic floss tube. I watched every minute and you totally inspired me to pull out my kits from the Catherine Theron weekend at Salty Yarns and get moving on them. I can’t wait to see FT # 2. Welcome to the Floss Tube community .
Love visiting with you for your first floss tube. I enjoyed seeing your samplers and wondering what the name is of your Catherine Thorn Sampler is called. I too love those little scissors ✂️,which I quite often add a pair in my 123 Stitch order. Blessings and happy stitching.
Thank you very much for watching. The Catherine Theron sampler is “Bless This House Sampler”. It was a pleasure to stitch and you’re right, those little scissors are the best. ❤️
Really enjoyed your first Floss tube and look forward to many more. Your stitching is beautiful and the reversable piece is amazing.. ❤ Linda, Australia
Thank you for watching! Those are great ideas! People seem to be interested in tutorials so I will definitely start working on something like that. Thank you for watching!
I loved your first video! I like the way you stitched Ocean City, it’s different. The only time I almost spit out my latte, is when you mentioned that your favorite stitch is the Queen Stitch. I detest that stitch! I do it well, however it is so time consuming. I have a sampler in jail, because I was over that stitch. If samplers were people, mine is old enough to drink! If you have recommendations or a particular tutorial for the Queen Stitch, I would be willing to try again. Congratulations on your first floss tube.
Thank you very much! And you made me spit out my drink by telling me your sampler was old enough to drink! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m sorry you have ill will towards the Queen Stitch, but I think that I will do a tutorial on it in an upcoming episode so maybe we can get your sampler out of time out. We can do our big timeout pieces together!😁 Thank you for your input on my Ocean City; it might just have to stay that way. 😉 Thank you again for watching and sharing your thoughts will me. ❤️
Beth - WOW....What an accomplished needleworker; your stitching is Gorgeous! I learned so much from watching your first video and hope there are many more to come. Thank you for sharing your time & talent with us.
Thank you so much Barbara. I hope I have enough to talk about for future episodes, fingers crossed. Thank you for watching.
Pajamas are the best! I have a monthly subscription so I concur, just stay in the Pajamas and stitch! I'm in Washington as well. Been here since 2003.. I love it here.
Pajamas are the best, I completely agree. We have been here since 2005. Maybe one day our stitching paths will cross, you never know! Thank you for watching.
You are a natural! You would never think this is your first flosstube. Well done. Looking forward to the next video already. Blessings and take care.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for watching. ❤️

Thank you for watching. ❤
WELCOME Beth!! Really enjoyed this, learned lots of interesting tidbits. Looking forward to your next one!
Thank you! Now the pressure is on for Episode 2. Thank you for watching. ❤
So nice to see you joined the flosstube journey. I first was introduced to you and your sister was on Sylvia's channel. That's when I started following you on Instagram. Happy stitching. ❤
Thank you very much for your kind words and thank you for watching. Sylvia has gotten a few of us on the FT train, that is for sure. ❤️
What a treasurer your first piece is!
Thank you Pat. It definitely is one of my treasures.
Thank you for watching. ❤️
I am so happy to watch you,❤❤❤ recommended by another flosstube maker
I’m very glad you found me and thanks for watching!

Hello. That was a beautiful flosstube!!
Thank you very much and thank you for watching.
Welcome to Flosstube - I'm new here too. :) Loved seeing your creations and the samplers you've reproduced - thank you for sharing! Happy Stitching.
Thanks so much! I must say being new to all this is a bit daunting. Good luck to you!
@@StitchingInMyPajamas lol- it sure can be. Best of luck to you as well!
Yay! You did such a great job!!
Thank you Janet! I'm glad you enjoyed it. ❤
I loved your video! You’ve done some beautiful work! ❤
Thank you very much. ❤️
Hi Beth! Welcome to Flosstube. I'm in awe of your amazing samplers and cant wait to see more! Thank you for sharing your joy of stitching!
Thank you very much and thank you for watching. ❤
Fabulous first flosstube Beth. It was so interesting and I love all your stitchy projects. Looking forward to your next one.
Thank you so much and thank you for watching.
I really enjoyed your first FlossTube! Interestingly, I just moved from WA State (Bellingham) to the San Antonio area….the opposite of you (years ago, of course). Too bad we didn’t meet when I was still up that way. Looking forward to more FlossTubes ❤
Thank you for watching and I’m disappointed that our paths never crossed while you were still in Bellingham. Maybe we will meet one day at a future stitching event. Thank you again.
I learned to cross stitch from my maternal gramma same as you. Started with stamped and then counted. I have a few antique samplers and sampler books myself. Love them. Janice
Sounds like you have several treasures too. Thank you for watching and sharing your story. ❤️
Love your channel. You are a natural. I am subscribed.
Thank you very much. ❤️
Hi Beth, I loved your first Flosstube and look forward to the next. You had me hooked at "I love the queen stitch." If you decide a tutorial on queen stitches is in your future, I would be thrilled. In 2024, a friend and I are starting the American Antique Sampler by Sandy Orton. We both love this sampler and want to stitch it, but it does have a LOT of queen stitches. I have been practicing on different count fabrics and with different threads, but it is a bit intimidating. Any advise would be helpful. Thanks for showing us your stitching.
I’m thrilled you want to learn more about the Queen Stitch. I will definitely work on a tutorial so that you can be very confident with your 2024 SAL. Can’t wait to see it!
Hey I have those same pajamas from Costco, love them too! Enjoyed watching your 1st Flosstube!
Thanks for watching! My sister said I need to call my pajamas by their real name and not just "my Costco pajamas" but that's too hard for me to remember. :-) Enjoy stitching in your pajamas!
I'm glad I found your channel! I love your channel name!❤
Thank you very much!
Loved your first floss tube! Especially love that you highlighted Darleen’s sampler-she is a favorite designer of mine too. Sadly I never had the chance to take a class from her but I own many of her designs and love working on them! I look forward to your next video. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Thanks for watching. Darlene was a special lady and I feel lucky that I got to take classes from her. I have another class piece of hers that I really should get back to. I would enjoy seeing your samplers of hers that you are working on.
Wow! Your stitching is amazing. I have already subscribed and will be anxiously awaiting your next floss tube. It would be fabulous if you did some tutorials on specialty stitches, especially the Queen Stitch, which you do beautifully.
Thank you your kind words and thank you for watching. I will definitely start working on figuring out how to do tutorials, and I will start with the Queen Stitch.
Thank you again.
I love the pink flowers.
Thank you for watching and your input. I just ripped out that orange flower and replaced with the pink. ❤️
Wonderful video! So fun!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Thanks for such a wonderful video! I can't wait to see more of your stitching!
Thank you!
Welcome! Great stitching! Looking forward to more from you! Very beautiful stitching! I just hope more stitchers will at least try some of the " specialty stitches" as they are fun to do and add so much to the piece!
Thank you very much and thanks for watching. I hope I can encourage more stitchers to try some of the specialty special if they are interested in them. They really are quite fun!
Awesome first video! Love all your projects and specialty stitches are amazing. Sorry but I love eyelet stitches and would love to see the Queen stitch, it is one stitch that I can’t get. The title of your Flosstube is great. Thank you for sharing your stitching journey and projects. I have some stamped table runners from the 80’s that we still use today. There is one we use for our Easter basket. Happy Stitching
Thank you so much and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I will work on a incorporating the Queen Stitch into an upcoming video now that I see that there is some interest in it; a new editing skill that I will have to figure out. 🤔😆 Continue to use and love your stamped pieces, they are such treasures.
Thank you for showing your beautiful stitching. I also love samplers, Just finished Quaker Christmas 2.. Used DMC 115,
Thanks for watching and I would love to see your finished samplers. ❤️
I had to go back to the Unicorn several times, in awe of your stitching. Magnificent! All that you showed is just beautiful. Looking forward to more.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for watching. The Unicorn might have to go on some sort of rotation; it has been punished long enough.
I live in the Snohomish area in Washington State. Loved your video and thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching! I love Snohomish and have actually gotten a few of my samplers from the shops in town. ❤️
I am amazed at your needlework pieces. I found out about you from stitching bunny's video. The antique samplers behind you are so interesting. I went to your sampler shop website and subscribed to your newsletter. As far as your love of queen stitch I dont get it. I have never mastered it.
I am looking very forward to watching more from you.
I purchased both vol. 1 and 2 of Willing Hands a few weeks ago. Your bee box is exquisite.
Scarlett Barger. 😊
Thank you, Scarlett, for your kind words and thank you for watching!
If you're interested, I will help you with your Queen Stitch. I'm trying to decide how I'm going to do the videos for those stitches that others would like to see.
I hope you enjoy both of the Willing Hands books. They are great resources to add to your collection, and if you ever stitch one of the projects from them I would love to see it!
Thank you again.
Thank you Beth, glorious stitching. Look forward to #2
Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it. ❤️
Great video, Beth. Congratulations! I would love to see you demo the Queen Stitch in a future video.
Thank you. There definitely seems to be enough interest in the Queen Stitch so I will work on making that happen. 😁
Great 1st Flosstube.
I very much enjoyed it.
How lucky of you to work for Gloriana!
Your projects are very beautiful.
Looking forward to checking out your Sampler designs.
Marilyn
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching. ❤️
I'll be stitching right along in my pj's too!
That is great! Please do and thank you for watching. ❤️
Enjoyed your presentation and look forward to the next one. Yes, I think any demonstrations of your stitching “stitches” specialty or any techniques you pass on would be appreciated
Thanks
Thank you for watching. I'm currently thinking about how I will incorporate tutorials since so many seem to be interested in that, so thank you for confirming I should do it. Stay tuned!
loved your flosstube Beth, and I also love to stitch in pajamas ..... what other way is there ! I took Betsy Morgan's Bee class, I think it was her last class before she retired, i need to work on that - its so beautiful..... Love your sampler also, look forward to that one coming out...... excited to hear more from you in the future :)
Thank you Vickie for watching. Definitely finish your Bee Contained, it’s a very sweet piece, and I look forward to seeing yours finished. Stay tuned for more new sampler updates. ❤️
Hi Beth. So glad to meet you on Floss Tube and I can’t wait to meet you in person! Your first Floss Tube was great and I look forward to more ❤
Thank you Susan. I look forward to meeting you too! Hopefully we can have a stitching day soon.
Great job! I think I was at Williamsburg at the same time, but I took another class .Show us your wall of stitching behind you sometime. Love your stitching
I would be very interested in seeing what class you took. I don’t remember what other projects I did that trip, I only remember Darlene’s. Maybe there weren’t any because I don’t have another finish. 🥴😁 Thanks for watching. ❤️
I liked and subscribed within the first few moments of your flosstube and that rarely happens. So glad you decided to share some of your thoughts and work - have stitched many of the same samplers / Same for books - looking forward to your videos. Thanks - this was a nice way to begin my day!
Nupur
Thank you for your kind words and I’m very glad you liked it. I need to start thinking now about what will be in Episode 2.
Your stitching is amazing! Thank you for sharing it. Can't wait to see your next episode. x
Thanks so much and thanks for watching. I must say, I am a bit nervous about doing a second episode now, but stay tuned!
Hi Beth - So glad you decided to do a flosstube and, that I found you! It was a delight to hear you talk about your stitching background and show us your exquisite WIPS and I look forward to more.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching. I'm feeling the pressure now to come up with something interesting for Episode 2! ;-)
It is so nice to find a new and great flosstube like this! I would love to learn new stitches like the queen stitch! Also, I'd love to know which shops carry your reproduction samplers. I look forward to more episodes!
Thank you so much! Looks like I’ll be demonstrating the Queen Stitch some time in the near future. 😁
If you visit our website www.mysisterssamplers.com there’s a “Where To Find Us” link at the top of the page. If your favorite LNS is not listed, we’ll be happy to ship them whatever they need. Thanks so much for watching and being interested in our samplers. ❤️
Your first floss tube was filled with all kinds of inspiration. I love to see all of the things you have done and plans for the future. I will be eagerly awaiting each episode you have to share with us. Happy Stitching. Marcy
Marcy, thank you so much for your kind words and thanks for watching. I must say I'm nervous now about my second video living up to expectations. Thank you for the encouragement.
Wonderful first floss tube. It was a pleasure to hear your story and the Williamsburg Christmas Sampler is a totally outstanding stitched masterpiece.
Thanks very much and thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching.
I stitch wearing my pajamas too!
It really is the only way to stitch! 😉 Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed your floss tube. I heard about you from pumpkin hollow quilts. I thought it was neat to see the first thing that you stitched. The first thing that I stitched, my mom had taught me how to cross stitch was a teddy bear design and I made it into a pillow. I’m looking forward to seeing your second video. 🙂
Thanks so much and thank you for telling me where you heard about me. I didn't know about her channel before but now I do! I'm very glad I've kept my first piece all this time. It gets more special to me every day. Do you still have your pillow?
Yes I still have my teddy bear pillow. I had did the cross stitching and my mom helped me with the pillow.
Love love love your first floss tube. Please come back soon. I to stitch in my Costco pj’s❤❤❤
Thank you so much! And Costco pjs really are the best for summer weather. ❤️
What a wonderful way to start my day with a cup of coffee and your wonderful floss tube! Come back soon!
Thank you for your kind words. I am humbled to how everyone has been so welcoming on this new journey. ❤️
I am so glad you made this video for the community🤓. You offered so much wonderful information - thank you.
Thank you very much for your kind words and thank you for watching. ❤️
You are an amazing stitcher!! I found your floss tube through Brenda and the Serial Starter. I would love tutorials to learn how to do the specialty stitches.
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching.
There definitely seems to be an interest in the specialty stitches so that will be something that I move forward with. Any specific stitch in particular?
Thank you again.
@@StitchingInMyPajamas I am open to learning any specialty stitches Thank you so much!!!!!
For Ocean City-figure out how much more space you need left/right. Make the square a little bigger. Stitch a simple border around the roll to adjust size(alternating x’s or something) Make other pocket a little wider also-or just make your margin of fabric a teensy bit bigger. It doesn’t look like you need much extra space. If that seems too much-pick a different word from the trip that is meaningful -family, beach, some word referencing something you did-that could work. Literally think outside the box. Good luck!
Thank you so much for the suggestions and thank you for watching! I will see if making the pocket bigger affects anything but I also like your idea about using a different word. Hmmmmm..... Definitely food for thought. Thank you for taking the time to poke my brain a bit.
Congratulations 🎉 on your first flosstube! Your stitching is so beautiful and it’s awesome to see some of your completed projects. I look forward to seeing more of your work in your future flosstubes! You have sooooo much to share. I would love to see the queen stitch showcased. And maybe Lucy Navier will make an appearance?? Thanks for the shopping shout out!
Thank you Tracy. ❤️ Lucy Navier was on the list but then I decided I needed something to show in episode 2. 😆 For sure next time. She almost needs her own Flosstube. 🤭
I didn’t know that reversible pieces existed….amazing.
Congratulations for your wonderful work…
Anne from France 🇫🇷
Thank you for your kind words. I have some others that are also reversible so I will show them in future videos. ❤️
Fabulous first video! I can’t wait to see your Unicorn finish!!!! And now I have to pull out my Catherine Theron piece as well. Hope to see your next video soon!
Thank you Julia. That darn Unicorn! 😆❤️
Well done!! Enjoyed seeing all your lovely projects and ideas. My first sampler is dated 1972 and it was a Better Homes & Gardens kit. Like you, I did all the tea towels, pillow cases and dresser scarves. Look forward to seeing episode #2.
Thank you. So many tea towels and pillow cases in our repertoire. 🥰
Great video! ❤
Thank you.
Wow...really beautiful and technically challenging work. Welcome.
Thank you very much. ❤️
Welcome to FlossTube! I too live in Washington state!
Thank you! Maybe we can meet one day soon!
Loved your flosstube, all my favorite designers. Beautiful projects, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much and thanks for watching!
👋🏻
Welcome! Loved your 1st-and appreciated the comments on Darleen O’Steen, who I researched a bit. And learned her final days were spent just a few miles up the road from where I now live, in NC.
Would enjoy if you’d review some of your favorite stitching/sampler books.
Thank you for watching! I do think Darlene spent the majority of her life in NC; how I would have liked to have gone to some of her events in your area because I have never been.
My plan is to do a book review kind of thing as part of my videos so I’m glad to know there might be an interest in that. Anything in particular you’d like me to show?
Thank you again.
@@StitchingInMyPajamas Hello!
I love Samplers and am fascinated by those which are American made and appreciate differences by region. Also enjoy learning about the European samplers and their differences. If you have books about these, I’d like to hear your reviews. Also, needlework tools which are part of our storied history.
I have the book “Threads of Life” by Clare Hunter which I haven’t yet cracked open-others might be interested in this or other historical books.
Just a few ideas - I’m certain your creative mind will have many others!
There are so many FlossTubers out there-I think this would help set you apart and appeal to the more serious stitchers. 😘
Wishing you the very best in your journey!
Stephanie Martin
@@stephaniemartin8824 Thank you so much for your comments, and I'm sorry that I'm just seeing these now. These are all great topics that I will work on incorporating into my future flosstubes and I appreciate you taking the time to share them with me. Hugs to you. ❤
So wonderful that you have your first piece!
I agree. I do love it. Thanks very much for watching.
Hi Beth.. Great floss tube.. love the samplers.. would love to learn the queen stitch..
Thank you very much and thank you for watching. There seems to be enough interest that I think that I will put together some videos showing different stitches. Thank you for your interest. ❤️
Welcome to Flosstube!!
Thank you very much!
Not surprising how absolutely beautiful your stitching is. Gorgeous work. Great video and I can’t wait for more!!
Thanks very much. I’m very glad you enjoyed it.
Fantastic floss tube. I watched every minute and you totally inspired me to pull out my kits from the Catherine Theron weekend at Salty Yarns and get moving on them. I can’t wait to see FT # 2. Welcome to the Floss Tube community .
Thank you Lisa. ❤️
Oh my goodness you have some amazing needlework. Welcome to Flosstube.
Thank you very much and thank you for your kind words. ❤
Love visiting with you for your first floss tube. I enjoyed seeing your samplers and wondering what the name is of your Catherine Thorn Sampler is called. I too love those little scissors ✂️,which I quite often add a pair in my 123 Stitch order. Blessings and happy stitching.
Thank you very much for watching. The Catherine Theron sampler is “Bless This House Sampler”. It was a pleasure to stitch and you’re right, those little scissors are the best. ❤️
So happy to find you! You have so much to share, I can see! Your pieces are stunning!
Thank you so much. ❤
Really enjoyed your first Floss tube and look forward to many more. Your stitching is beautiful and the reversable piece is amazing.. ❤ Linda, Australia
Thank you Linda. ❤️
I was so excited to hear about Ocean City and Salty Yarn. I know the shop so well.
It is a wonderful shop. I can’t wait to go back.
Awesome job looking forward to your next one
Thanks so much!
I love that you have your first cross stitch! It's so cute. Welcome ❤
I agree. I'm very glad I kept it. It's very simple but very sweet. Thanks for watching.
I would like for you to talk about how to keep neat backing. Mine are a mess! Also show how you start with a single thread. Enjoyed your flosstube.
Thank you for watching!
Those are great ideas! People seem to be interested in tutorials so I will definitely start working on something like that.
Thank you for watching!
Happy Anniversary and congratulations on 1st floss tube. Since we both are stitching in our pjs so we are having a pj party 🎈
Thank you very much and we are definitely having a pajama party, for sure! I hope you join me again once I figure out what to talk about next. ❤️
@@StitchingInMyPajamas I will definitely watch again :)
I loved your first video! I like the way you stitched Ocean City, it’s different. The only time I almost spit out my latte, is when you mentioned that your favorite stitch is the Queen Stitch. I detest that stitch! I do it well, however it is so time consuming. I have a sampler in jail, because I was over that stitch. If samplers were people, mine is old enough to drink! If you have recommendations or a particular tutorial for the Queen Stitch, I would be willing to try again. Congratulations on your first floss tube.
Thank you very much! And you made me spit out my drink by telling me your sampler was old enough to drink! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m sorry you have ill will towards the Queen Stitch, but I think that I will do a tutorial on it in an upcoming episode so maybe we can get your sampler out of time out. We can do our big timeout pieces together!😁
Thank you for your input on my Ocean City; it might just have to stay that way. 😉
Thank you again for watching and sharing your thoughts will me. ❤️
