Congrats on finishing Life’s a Beach! 🥳 I think I would vote for the lantern kit, probably because I’ve already stitched the ship one! I probably show that in my old finish parade, too. We definitely have similar taste. 😁

It’s good to see you again! I’m behind on Flosstube, so I’ll probably go watch your more recent video next. My mom was cleaning out her craft room and actually found the magazine that Life’s A Beach was in! It’s a Leisure Arts magazine from August 1988 and this project is on the cover. 😍😎🏖️ Also, if you’re interested in tips for using waste canvas, I made a tutorial a few years ago. 👍🏻 Oh, and thanks for the book recommendations!

So good to see you again. Congrats on the house. I’m sure it’s very different from living in a dorm.

Hi Finn! Enjoyed seeing your projects. Panda's Crossing has the biggest Mill Hill selection I've ever seen in one place. I bought a ton of them the time I visited!

Hi Martie! Good to see you and your stitching again! Congrats on the new house and new kitty!

Love your jar finish. That piece just glows! Congratulations on your new home and going full time at work! Your new kitty is beautiful.💙

Are you aware that you were 1 of 2 flosstubes recognized as fellow South Carolinian on the latest video of August 1823 Stitchers?

Thanks for sharing your WIPs. It’s nice to see that you currently only have 12 projects that you’re stitching. I used to pride myself in the fact that I only had 9 WIPs but unfortunately, that number has grown. I’m participating in 2 mystery SALs now so I try to keep up and when I see patterns that appeal to me, I feel like starting them. So I probably have closer to 20 WIPs currently from barely started to almost completed. I hope to get some finishes soon. 😊 Happy stitching.

I love your videos and your projects. I don't mill my own flour, but I watch Three Rivers Homesteading on KZbin and she does a lot of milling of her own flour. Michelle

I love that you only have 12 projects - it’s so refreshing! 😁 I was working on my Christmas Elf Fairy while watching, so it was fun to see yours. 😍

100% yess to a WIP Parade! 😁😁😁 x

Life’s a Beach is looking great! I agree with you about thicker evenweaves - I prefer them to more flimsy ones like Lugana. Some MCG is uneven, so I would whip out my travel measuring tape in the store to make sure a piece was okay before buying it. Monaco is also a great thick evenweave, although that seems harder to find these days, too. And sometimes there is heavily starched Monaco in craft stores that’s different than the soft Monaco that I’ve found elsewhere. I’m glad you found another piece of Jubilee - looks like a nice color!

🐴🐴🐴 love the game Catan 😉

Your Santa stocking is looking great. Your husband's Satsuma Street Wip is looking very good. Yes, I would very much like to see a WIP parade. I hope you have a great time on vacation!

You might like the license plate charts from Thread Milk Designs. I got one for the state I was born and one for the state my husband was born in. Your little SC chart reminded me of them. Enjoy your videos very much.

I live in SC, but in Hartsville about 1 1/2 hours from Myrtle Beach. I miss Stitch and Frame, which was my LNS after 2 other shops closed over the years. Currently, my LNS is Barefoot Needlearts at Myrtle Beach, but maybe Stitching Kitten because it is only an hour away and no beach traffic. Have a good time on vacation!

Great start on Christmas Elf Fairy! Yeah, her called for dress colors seemed a little odd to me - not the precise shading you usually find in Miras because of the variegations. Yours turned out really nice, though! 😍

I enjoyed seeing your progress on Christmas Elf Fairy. She’s so cute! I have several WIPs but am actively working on Bountiful, the SAL with Fat Quarter Shop and Autumn Love by Lori Holt. Last week I had a new start on Treasure Island, the new mystery SAL by Owl Forest, and have completed part 1.

I love your May plans! I have Christmas Elf Fairy pencilled in to try to finish in July - maybe you could work on yours again then. She seemed to stitch up really quickly the last time I worked on her. 😍 And so fun that you’re going to be stitching those bears! That’s a blast from the past! I probably stitched mine in junior high or high school! 😆 Mine was on Aida cuz that’s the easiest fabric to find in the 90s, so definitely doable. If you haven’t already chosen a fabric, I would recommend pulling the threads and laying them out on the fabrics. That might help you make the final decision. 😁

I love the mint Green for the teddy bear pattern! 🥰 xx

Looking forward to seeing your progress on the dimensions kit! It’s going to be stunning ❤ thank you for the shoutout! Xx

I like the Earthen for the beach bears…

I like the 1st and the last options the best. I would do the first ❤ fabric.

I like the ptp fabric you showed first the mottled one for the bears, second choice would be the mint.

Hello! Loving your jars SO much! I’m stitching on the Shine On Sampler by Bonnie and Camille at the moment but later this evening I’m starting a blue Ball jar full of flowers that my sister gave me for my birthday.

Stitchin’ Mommy does have a video on Wisper thread. I’m a Mirabilia fan big time. Just found your video. I have been collecting Mirabilia patterns since they were first charted back in the 90’s. Haven’t finished any yet but I have several started. So many I want to stitch on. I have several of the OOP charts. I like Nora Corbett and Lavender and Lace also.

The Santa Stocking is so cute!

Whisper thread isn’t too bad! Where ever you need the whisper stitch a full cross with one strand of white. And then come back over that with one strand of whisper and do one leg of the X. You could do a 5 x 5 test square in the corner of your fabric to see how you like the coverage, before you stitch it on the actual design. Then after you have the whole design stitched you take a new soft bristle tooth brush across the whisper to fluff it up.

Your Cozy Cafe finish turned out so nice; congrats on finishing it. You’re making good progress on your Christmas stocking. Happy stitching 😊

Congratulations on your finish! I have little use for Carowinds, so basically I find a place to sit and stitch while I watch over family belongings. I am from Hartsville, South Carolina. I am almost finished with May Month2Month by Stitching with the Housewives, halfway through He Watches Me by Foxwood Crossings, and getting ready to start Reading Tracker by Stitching Cabin.

Thank you so much for your shout out as well. I sure love your cafe stitch. ❤

I love your Santa stocking!! And I can’t wait to see you Fairy! I’m about to start a Shannon Christine moon princess with beads and everything. It’s slightly intimidating but I’m happy for a challenge. I’m currently working an Edgar Allen Poe WIP and a bear WIP. You can see them in my floss tube 😁 Speaking of, did you see the ship kit that I tagged you in a few weeks ago?

I’m actually cooking dinner while I watch but I stitched on Berry Patch my Hello from Liz Matthews this morning. Your Cozy Cafe is adorable. Love Frosted Pumpkin and thinking about the new Castle stitch.

New subscriber. Enjoyed your video.😊

My machine has a button on the side that you push to lower and raise the feed dogs. But I noticed that you mentioned in a previous comment that yours has a wheel but maybe check for a button just in case.

15:05 I would price shop and see what would work for your budget. I’m in the same boat. The timing is off on my singer and keeps breaking my needles but I hate to toss it when it can be fixed and potentially have years left. However, my advantage is that my 13yo daughter has her own sewing machine so we can share until I can get mine fixed.

The feed dogs can be lowered(dis-engaged) on sewing machines so you can do free motion quilting, so that might be what is happening with your machine. Google how to lower feed dogs on the model machine you have and it should show you where the lever is to raise them up again. Maybe that will work. Good luck!

Have you mentioned your sewing machine woes to the ladies at your church?

Welcome back!! I’m glad your stitchy bug is returning :)

Congrats on finishing His Name is Jesus! It turned out great! Regarding Dimensions kits, I think you’re right that the regular ones are a bit “tamer” than the Gold ones, so they could be a good starting point. However, the petite ones you have shouldn’t be too tricky until you get to the details at the end. Just make sure you take note of the number of strands and any blends, etc. before stitching. And cording isn’t as scary as it seems! You tape the long lengths to a table with your needle in the middle of the length and twist for a long time, fold it in half, and it turns into cording! It’s pretty cool! You tack it down with one strand of matching thread every little bit (which is what couching is).

Perhaps your planner is in your car or at your mother’s place. I graduated with a degree in School Library-Media in 1985.

Lol I have that same ship dimensions kit but bigger. I wish I had known cause o totally would’ve sent it to you cause o don’t plan on stitching it.

Beautiful finishes, I am working on Prince of Peace… love it too😊❤

Random question…does that say PC in the background? Presbyterian College? My sister graduated from there! I’m so glad you’re back! Love all your projects!
