Flosstube #27 Big and Littles

[@SweetPeaStitcher13]

Wow! I was busy getting ready to go camping so I took my computer to bed to watch #27 and I saw that my friend Rose and I won the “Each One Teach One” gifts! I jumped out of bed!!! Sheri, your friendship and Colorado Cross Stitcher are a bright GOLD ⭐️ star in my life and a beautiful strong WILLOW 🌳 tree! My favorite tool is my stitching chair. My husband bought it for me to nurse our first daughter and it has been recovered four times~ it fits my body perfectly!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I thought I'd let you hear about it on the video, since I knew you were going to watch. Hope it was a fun surprise!!

[@junewood3012]

Just a HUGE thank you for all of the time you invest in our wonderful, stitchy community ❣️🧵🧵❣️

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

How kind - thank you so much, June!

[@ruthcole4723]

I struck gold last weekend attending Stitch-Con. There were so many talented stitchers. It was a wonderful experience. As I sit and stitch ,I am watching gardeners trimming my neighbors willow tree. Great video I have stitched Hands on Designs Dog block party and Mend block party. I have two others to stitch. They are so much fun and not difficult to put together.

[@tinathomas2036]

Gold is my favorite color

[@nancycarter5101]

I love willow trees

[@tamarariddle5615]

I have I little tin that something came in, that I use as my cross stitch tool box. It's only about 3"x3"x1". It's about the perfect size for everything. My favorite tool, is my trolley needle, I use it as a laying tool to make my stitches neater. I love the gold bag, it's gorgeous!

[@donnamckinney7885]

Your Quaker Dwelling is beautiful! It's always fun to see your videos. They are so full of good stuff! The gadget that I can't live without is called a dolally. I bought it years ago and I don't think that person still makes them, but I hope that someone does, and maybe calls it something else. There is a bent wire, like a giant eye of a needle, on one end and a little wire hook on the other with little chain in between for length. When you stitch to the bitter end of your floss and don't have enough length to turn the needle and go through your stitches to finish off, you use this. The thin wire "eye" runs under your stitches and the hook grabs your thread tail to thread the "eye". Then you pull the wire "eye" back out and your thread is secured. This girl needs a gold willow.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Well, I'm going to have to find one of those - sounds like a must-have!

[@carolpifer6644]

The sun shines GOLD on my WILLOW tree. My best tool is a the bright light over my shoulder. I enjoy your flosstube Sheri!

[@cherylh7772]

I love your quaker dwelling fabric. The colour of the fabric make it look like the light inside the house is warm and glowing through the windows. Gold. Willow.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you, Cheryl!

[@suzannehubert8005]

My favorite tool is my star magnetic wand for finding the needles that I accidently dropp. I would give that a GOLD star!

[@carolinecarlson8181]

I like to have a scissors in each project bag, so yes that’s a lot of scissors but it makes cross stitching a lot easier. Love the under the woolen willow projects. They get a gold medal!

[@tammys8547]

A “tool” in my stitching arsenal is the interdental brushes in the Personal Care section by the dental floss. I use it to brush the fuzzies off the fabric after frogging 🤣

[@kristyrohm1500]

My favorite non notion notion are the magnetic scrappy things with the hearts on each end to hold your fabric. Im loving all those patriotic pieces...especially the Teresa Kogut book! Willow Gold

[@raeannoneill8392]

You are as good as gold! Thanks for stopping by. It was a great visit. Tool suggestion: I like Sulky thread and I use a clear lip stick holder to house the ones I am currently using. It holds 24.

[@stitchingafterbedtime]

I am having so much fun stitching my 2017 Prairie Schooler Santa for Cross Stitch Camp. As soon as I finish, I want to stitch that cute camper you shared with us for my project bag. Thank you for all your hard work hosting this for us. You and your husband are so kind to help bring so much joy to the stitching community.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you for the sweet comment, Lauren. I'm so glad you're doing Camp with all of us!

[@suemcleod7742]

As usual another wonderful flosstube to ooh and ahh over!! The GOLD project bag is so beautiful and the WILLOW pattern book is very inspiring, would love either. Being an old time sewer/quilter my most used tool is a sewing awl. I use that like a third hand for almost every project. My collection of seam rippers contain at least 6 beautiful wooden handle ones and when I use them I just smile. Thank you for the inspirations and the good time with you and your calming attitude for us, my 4 legged purr-fect companion enjoys our time to sit and relax

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

So true on the wooden seam rippers - they are just beautiful to look at AND to use!

[@ronnietall1323]

Love the gold project bag! The skinny pillows are great, love yours, the Woolen Willow is great! I can’t get along without my cheater glasses!

[@greggsbeckymoore349]

Good morning! I love Sunday mornings with your flosstube🙂! It gets me ready for some stitching, which is my Sunday thing to accomlish. I stitch whenever I can, but Sunday is a dedicated day. It's hot and humid here in Missouri and I'm wishing there were a willow in my back yard for the lovely shade a willow throws. It's very relaxing to me. Thank you for showing what's new to your shop so that I can see all the beautiful patterns. Have a wonderful next few weeks, Sheri🙂

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for spending your Sunday morning with me! :-)

[@tammykirk8227]

Sunflowers are my absolute favorite Gold -en flower! I love those beautiful Willow trees. My arsenal includes a Tape measure. I'm enjoying your videos. Your cats are beautiful! Blessings.

[@lindamelz242]

Your Quaker Dwelling is Gorgeous on your linen choice !!! Such cute and festive smalls . Great stash enhancement . Wow - love all you finds in your antique outings. Lexi is such a beautiful cat !!! Your square kitty stitch is just the cutest remembrance stitch .

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much, Linda!

[@arlenenickerson4380]

I always look forward to seeing what you are working on, what tools you find helpful, and all the patterns and projects you have brought out to show us from your store. One of my favorite tools I actually bought as a souvenir while on a trip in Norway. It is a small beautiful wooden dust pan and brush that restaurants use to brush crumbs from tablecloths. I use mine to brush off the bits of fabric from my cutting table. Another favorite is a wooden needle storage tube. It’s pretty with a carved design on it but more importantly I can find it in my needlework bag and it keeps my needles safe. The gold needle kit bag looks handy and I want to make the adorable Willow long pillows. Thanks for another great video.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I love those little dust pans and brushes they use in Europe!

[@elainestephenson4355]

I wished I had a gold mine or a willow tree. I do love to watch your floss tubes. I don’t have any special tools, but I’m looking forward to reading the comments.

[@jwascher]

Your video and shop are just gold to me! Waiting always for you to appear. Thank you, thank you!

[@Mrs.Stitcher]

Another very inspiring video. My favorite tool in my sewing kit is my magnifying glasses, without them I wouldn't be able to do a stitch.Thanks for sharing. Gold

[@carolkistler8003]

Your block party "meow" is so cute! Woof would be a great one for me to stitch in addition to meow. I am very fond of my gold scissors and a handmade seam ripper made with pecan wood is in my arsenal.

[@allisonferber5474]

I find a pair of tweezers very helpful sometimes when I am stitching. I use it to pull a needle through stitches on the back of my fabric when I am ending a thread. I also use it to pull out little pieces of thread when I have to frog stitches. I always have a pair hanging on the little mason jar I use as a corral for my tools. Your Quaker Dwelling is just amazing. I love Kathy Barrick. Willow and gold. Would love to make some of those sweet pillows-they would be great stocking stuffers. Thank you for the video. I always enjoy listening to you as I stitch.

[@jimevans1536]

I am awarding you a gold star for consistently well done videos. I love the component parts of each one and am always delighted with the little stitchy accessories you find. I have noticed that many of the samplers have stylized willow tree motifs. Love the tree and the motifs. Since using overdye threads, I now keep a roll of blue painter's tape at the ready so when I pull out my mistakes, I can pick up the floss bits easily off the fabric. I wear bifocals and use Magni-Clips now to see the increasingly small holes on fabric. The lenses sit low over the bifocal only allowing me to see clearly above without having to flip them up, though they also do that. I got them on amazon. My last sort of tool is the ribbon lanyard I use with my stork scissors attached on a clip so that I can wear them around my neck while stitching and they are always handy and at hand. Lastly, I am thoroughly loving Stitch Camp, my first but won't be the last.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

My first gold star!! :-) :-). Thank you! And thanks for the tip on Painter's tape - I can see how that would be super helpful.

[@patriciawalters2227]

I have two tools that I use. The first is called a Snag Nab-It. Love it to fix things that I don't want sticking up or have pulled through to the front of your piece. The second is a floss away brush. After you rip out, you use the brush to pick up the left behind lint. You are golden with these two tools!

[@catherinestiele7153]

I love having different project bags with the vinyl window so I can check all my supplies. The gold project bag is beautiful. Under the woolen willow is clear in her design, love the pillow.

[@maryjaneperry4927]

I love the gold sunflower bag!!! Sunflowers are my favorite flower!!! I also love the willow book!!! I keep a little thimble in my tool bag. Sometimes the end of my finger gets very tender!!! Love all of your projects and finishes!!!

[@beckykohn8480]

My cannot do without tool is my magnifier light. It has opened up new worlds of possibilities on what kind of fabric I can stitch on. It is gold in my opinion!

[@gldtrnkt]

I am a huge sunflower fan and when I saw the GOLD one I was so excited. I love to watch your videos.

[@janetburgess5781]

Gold. Willow

[@cathleenjones5332]

Feel so at home with your floss tube, its as if you are right around the corner and I can visit with you any day and feel relaxed and home. My favorite tool is a denture cleaner loop to hook threads and tuck them under stitches.

[@tarafell6301]

My favorite use every time I stitch tool is my thumb needle and pin cushion. I used to put it on my ring finger, but it was then behind my work-in-hand fabric. I switched it to my thumb and it is great. I make them out of a 3 1/2 inch square of fabric folded into a triangle, turned, stuffed and closed. Then sew the two bottom corners together to fit the thumb. I like your refrigerator dishes! Willow.

[@lindameeks5228]

I had a Willow tree in my yard, and all things stitched are Gold. I love my DoLolly, it's such a wonderful item. I've had it for years.

[@desireepheister2633]

Couldn't live without my "booboo" brush! Yup, it's a real thing that I got from the Silver Needle to brush away those fine bits of Floss after I have frogged something. You convinced me to give one of the square cushions a try. I love the one with the bees, it reminds me of my grampa who raised bees and gave me honeycomb to chew on when I was little. Gold, willow

[@judithavery2897]

So much goodness today, thank you. You get a gold star for all you shared! Now, my tool I can't stitch without is my magnetic metal sheet that I use to hang my design on with magnets also extra magnets to hold my scissors. I'm not sure I could stitch without my pink metal sheet. Living in S. Louisiana, we have numerous willow trees around our property, gotta love their graceful sway with the breezes we are having. Thank you for sharing beautiful designs.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for the gold star! :-)

[@dorothy9276]

Thanks for showing us all the fabulous items for sale and those that you've completed. Gold seems to be the color of the 2020's with lots of Bee patterns and sunflowers.

[@tinathomas2036]

i like willow trees

[@carolwentzell7305]

One of my favorite tools is Uncle Bill’s tweezers. Great for removing threads. I love the color GOLD in stitching.I buy frequently from Under the Woolen WILLOW. I am a member of Strawberry club.

[@leaannsmith7128]

My favorite tool is my “snag nab it” to push that odd thread back where it belongs! I willow love to stitch a skinny pillow…

[@christinecrane4864]

thanks for another great video!!!! I love the feeling of stitching and watching my "floss tube friends"....it is like we are sitting here in the same room!!!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I feel like that, too, when I'm reading through the comments and chatting with you all!

[@lucindafino6462]

Great floss tube. Enjoyed seeing your patterns, finishes and project bags. I have a “tool” bag that I keep all my needles, homemade floss drops, tags to label my projects, rings, library cards and extra scissors and readers. I love the gold willow patterns. Looking forward to your next video.

[@triciabenich]

“I really want a chocolate faucet!” 😂 Me too! Your Quaker Dwelling finish is gorgeous! Love your cat block. Those blocks are so darling. I have the bee one and I am not surprised when you said - there’s a lot of stitching in these.Thanks for sharing, xx, Tricia

[@jenniferhein2322]

I love the book and skinny pillows from Under the Woolen WILLOW! My favorite tool in my arsenal is a nice big cup of ice water. Staying hydrated keeps me stitching longer!

[@tracy_stitches]

I loved your finish of A Quaker Dwelling. The gold Havana fabric is so pretty with the house. My favorite tool is a small plastic box with dividers where I keep my needles, orts, measuring tape, scissors and magnetic twist ties. Thanks for sharing!

[@needlepullingthread1573]

I love gold

[@caroljensen4910]

My favorite tool is my magnifier light without which I wouldn't be able to stitch on linen. Your videos win the GOLD medal! The pillow book from the Woolen Willow is a great one to add to one's library.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for the gold medal!! :-)

[@brendaourada9482]

The project bag is as precious as gold. Love your flosstube. I love scissors so I have a bunch always handy. A willow I tree is huge lol.

[@theresapetrik1995]

My toolbox is a waterproof cosmetic bag that holds my scissors, Stitcher's Best Friend (great when you need to pull or ease thread ends behind previous stitches when ending a working thread), needles and anything else I might need. I love the soft coloration in the gold bag. So nice to meet your feline and love the cat box. It came out really cute. Think I might need to try one too.

[@danalake4645]

Wow!!! A Quaker Dwelling is stunning, especially on that fabric! 👏👏

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much, Dana!

[@marthadewald664]

I stitched the Buzz block party by HOD about 5-6 years ago. The finishing was so easy. The hardest part of the project was cutting the gold wool for the top to the right size and attaching with the stitching. In my stitching tool case I have a measuring tape, 6” ruler, leather thimble, hi-lighter, small grab-it tool to grab and pull needle on my canvas projects, laying tool, invisible thread for beads, large needle with attached bling to use as counting tool.

[@patmatejcek5616]

Great video Shari! Love the cat cube finish, so sweet! My favorite tool is my dazor magnifer and my Lori holt cheaters, if it wasn't for them i could see to stitch. I love the GOLD bag. I love the creations from Michelle from under the woolen WILLOW. Her things are beautiful! thanks for sharing your love of needlework!

[@michelegibbs9261]

I would feel like I won a gold medal if I was gifted that beautiful project bag! A willow tree is so beautiful! Thank you for another inspiring video, I always look forward to seeing your next flosstube.

[@beckym6490]

That sunflower bag is beautiful, gold. I used to play under a willow tree on our farm when I was a little girl. Well now I think I may have to try one of those patterns with a mattress style finish. They are all cute but I like the bee one the best. One of my favorite tools is a Snag Nab It. I learned about it from Steph of Pam and Steph. It helps to neaten up an unruly cross. I said it last video but I’ll say it again. Your Quaker Dwelling is gorgeous!!!! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much, Becky!

[@staceysalisbury2228]

Great video Sheri. I have 2 tools I like. 1. a snag nab it (?) for pushing unruly threads to the back and 2. a pair of tweezers from a doctor's home suture removal kit. Those tweezers are phenomenal at pulling out frogged stitches! They grip the thread amazingly well--which is why they are in suture removal kits, I guess. Loved the review on the vacuum sealer!

[@maureenabramson4224]

So happy to see you again. I really enjoy your Flosstube. Your sweet cat is gorgeous. I like the idea of having must start soon patterns together. I have a bin and they are stcked on one side but inevitably they get mixed up ad the plastic zipbags are so slippery. Your Kathy Barrick piece, A Quaker Dwelling turned out so beautiful . I would never have ha e chosen that fabric, but it is stunning! I need to expand my color palette. Lol! I know you called it Havana, but I will say Gold. I love your Boo Who you have and are stitching. I bought that last year and didn't stitch it. I love vintage / retro items as well. But, I want to stitch for my niece. I love the pillow and noticed it in one of your videos doing a shop tour. I am buying some trim from your shop, online, today for that project. I have purchased anprject from Inder the Woolen Willow and need to finish it. I ordered it right after the first time you talked about her shop!. It's Old Glory which will be nice to have for July. Have a blessed week. ❤

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

My "must start soon" bag just keeps getting fuller and fuller - ha!

[@monaortego1204]

My tool I use is double sided tape to remove thread bunnies. You have a heart of Gold and weeping willow is my favorite tree.

[@carolynmeadows4538]

Your videos are like found gold. I would love a willow tree in my yard.

[@karlalaplante7244]

Another great video. Truly enjoyed the parade of Patriotic charts...always see something fun to do. My best tools in my stitch basket are the Snag Nab-it and the 3" corner square. Love the Gold sunflowers! Happy Stitching!

[@janieharner5136]

So glad I found your floss tube! The magic word for the day GOLD 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I'm glad you found me, too!

[@wandamccoll3739]

Your cat block party pin cushion is so beautiful! I love how you personalized it with all your cats. The Frances Eden Sampler is gorgeous. When I see it I am reminded of Paradise Lost by PSS - maybe it's the cloud. Your Quaker sampler is stunning!!! Thanks as always Sheri and happy stitching!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching, Wanda!

[@luciabeaumier9738]

My favorite tool I use for both stitching and quilting is a chop stick, i use it to poke out the corners of pillows when I make them. Gold is one of my favorite colors!

[@susanhogan2319]

I wish I had a tool tip but truthfully I could use some tips myself! LOL. Your leather cigarette case is perfect for scissors. Great find!! The quaker dwelling finish is gorgeous and you should win a gold medal for it! Willow is the name of my friend's pet bunny. 🥰

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you, Susan!

[@debbielacroix5116]

My seam ripper is GOLD in my tool kit. The Willow pillows are adorable.

[@susanparvis3708]

I always have a pair of tweezers and repositional highlighter tape. I only use paper patterns and the tape helps me keep track of my stitching and I can write notes on it without damaging my pattern. Gold.

[@cyndeestipanovich8956]

This project bag is beautiful and gold to me and the book is wonderful willow tree soft .

[@tracyrobinson6169]

The woolen Willow book will fit perfectly in the Gold sunflower bag! I love the wooden tools. I am always looking for pretty wooden seam ripper at craft fairs. They make reverse stitching/sewing much more enjoyable 😁 Thank you for another wonderful video!

[@liliawebb9377]

My tools are here and there and a container would be great! Gold or golden even :) I'll have to keep that in mind to come up with something. I keep my scissors right in front of me on the desk but counting pins; my tool suggestion for the day, are in my pin cushion near my sewing machine and having something closer to where I work on my HAED while watching FlossTube doesn't have one either. Where have I been? I usually keep a needle in a tote with my various projects and a few have scissors in there too with all the floss drops and floss so I just don't immediately think of a tool station or container. Sounds like it would be smart to keep such a thing on my desktop. Loved your finish and how fun you've made your calendar book with stickers. The stories they tell!

[@thefloss-n-dachshund]

My purple seam ripper is like gold to me lol I love a willow tree, too. So many beautiful patterns and finishes!

[@April-CraftyBluebonnetDesigns]

Love all the tips and ideas you share! You have a heart of gold and it shows. The Lao desk idea that CelesteCreates shared it working fabulously for me. Keeps my pattern right on my lap, my scissors on the right side and floss ring on the left side. Works great and inexpensive idea.

[@maryleelaird8708]

My nails are gold this week. I have a small box of big headed pins that I use for counting pins. I also use a 3” x 3” quilting square to measure when needed on my projects such as where to start in the corner.

[@mary-louw2946]

I used to wear gold jewelry but since I let my hair go grey, I now wear silver jewelry or white gold. One of my fav trees is a willow tree. It's graceful branches are great to hide in while you read. My fav tool in my stitching spot is a wonder clip. Sometimes I need an extra hand with my floss or my fabric is too long so I clip it up or even sometimes my hair bangs get in my way.... it sticks to my needle minder too.

[@caroleolsen4640]

I once had a cat named Willow who was worth her weight in Gold. I enjoy your videos.

[@HandsOnDesign]

I love that you added your kitty's names on the bottom!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I love that part, too!

[@laurastewartnoell]

I have more than one “tool” in my bag every where I go…a ruler marked in 11 count, 14 count, 18 count, and 22 count markings. I’ve had it over 35 years, so I wish I could find an updated one with 16 count. The other “tool” I must have is my lighted magnifying glass to hang around neck for those hard to see stitches. The GOLD fabric is very appealing. I need to check out Joyful Stitching Store!!!

[@barbaraearle6137]

I keep 10 squares/inch graph paper in my stitching supplies so I can work out any changes or additions I want to make to a pattern - especially adding names and dates. And my mind isn't too creative tonight so "gold" because I'd love that project bag and "willow" because those skinny pillows are precious 🙃

[@ritah7457]

I have family in Albuquerque too and it’s such a treat to go to Stitchers Garden! I have a Snag Nab-it in my tool caddy. I use it on my stitches if one needs a little “adjusting” and it’s great for pushing back a wayward thread that I didn’t clip off close enough to my fabric that has now snuck from the back to the front of my project. Gold Willow

[@marshakruze6056]

One of my favorite tools is a disposable mascara wand. I use it for brushing away the lint on my linen after I have a ripping episode. They are even more fantastic for cleaning the lint out of my sewing machine. Very very inexpensive on Amazon. That's my gold tip.

[@annmarie9780]

Willow and Gold. Sounds like names of new specialty floss colors. 🙂 I don’t have any unusual tool in my stitching box but I keep my Grandmother’s thimble there. I loved her deeply and miss her much and that way she keeps me company when I stitch.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

That's lovely, Ann Marie!

[@lindalemmon3107]

Thanks for explaining how the Hands on Design blocks can be stitched together. I appreciate all your helpful tips. A tool I like to use is different colored highlighters. I can use them on my working copy to keep track of where I am on my stitching. It is especially helpful on patterns that have frequent color changes. I really liked the gold project bag.

[@donnacarman5429]

This is the first time I've seen your floss-tube...and am SO happy to have found you!! I'm enthralled with all of your patterns, WIPs and products. Something I keep in my project tool bag is a white eraser. It helps to get the bits of fuzzy off the fabric after frogging. Gold and Willow.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I'm so glad you found me, Donna - thanks for watching!

[@charleneogle6427]

I love the magnet ties to hold the excess fabric while stitching, and the chair “arm table” from Notforgotten Farms. It gets a gold star! Great to see you again! 🤩

[@sandradurkee2859]

I just got the "arm table"...OMG, how did I ever live without it. It is well worth the price and keeps everything in reach.

[@roseanderson4928]

Could you share some info about the “arm table” from Notforgotten Farms please?

[@jrworley1]

Gold and Willow. Great giveaways. Egad you are an enabler ! I ended up going to Under the woolen willow Need I say more ! The tool I use to remove fuzzies especially after frogging is an eyebrow brush. Small and easy to add to my tool bag. Beth from Heartstring Samplery gave us an awl which is used to punch a small hole in your stitch piece to attach embellishments. Awesome idea

[@lorriemoreau8894]

Sharp, sharp pointy tweezers (Diamond painting or jewelry making type) to get any dog hair that’s trying to join the project and washi tape to remove any fuzz left over after frogging. Both are worth their weight in gold 😉 I love your Quaker Dwelling finish, it’s beautiful, and the fabric choice makes it so unique.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Love those ideas, Lorrie!

[@2teddybearz]

Thank you for the free tomato chart! Love it! It will be great in my gold dough bowl while I sit outside under my willow tree :)

[@MaureenBaran]

When I use paper patterns, I have magnetic rulers to help keep my place as I stitch. Gold!

[@juliefowkes9796]

Gold and willow. Love your finishes. I have a fabric pouch with a pen and notebook not really a tool but I note down all the lovely charts you flosstubers enable me with!

[@heartlandstitcher9825]

such a great video. Your block party finish is perfect. My favorite tool is simply a thimble. I stitch mostly over one and sometimes need a little help pushing the needle under the threads on the back. The gold project bag is beautiful. Love willow trees. All the patriotic charts are great and I saw a few I had not seen before. So many charts, so little time!!

[@marlenechurchill3664]

Sunflowers are such a beautiful gold color. I have an a small telescopic magnet that I use for dropped needles. My husband bought it at Menards … brand is ToolShop..has a red handle. Small enough to put in a project bag or have on a table beside your stitching chair. Thanks for sharing your projects, patterns, helpful hints, etc!

[@marilynheard1195]

I love to watch your videos. You always have unique tidbits and fun things you find and use. I have a fun thing on my side table I always use called a coffee mug warmer. Great for coffee or tea! Gold and Willow colors would be beautiful on a sampler.🙂

[@ParkhouseStitching]

Gold,Willow my favourite tool is a floss wand, it’s a little brush to brush away bits of floss when you have to frog out your mistakes.

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. A seam ripper is the must tool for me. I would love the gold bag. Happy stitching!

[@kimberlyolson752]

Gold star for your floss tube!! Always enjoy your shows. We seem to have like interests in patterns. Working on that funky bird!!

[@meghanmaybon8994]

Your Quaker Dwelling turned out so beautiful! Thank you for showing hoe a linen color can really change the look of a piece. I have a small wooden tray on the table next to my stitching spots that has a couple of pin pillows I've made in it along with other odd and ends. My favorite tool in there however is a rosewood laying tool. Not only is it beautiful but invaluable when I may be using 3 strands of floss on 14/28 count to achieve better coverage. Sometimes I use it for counting stitches too. I call it my mini wand! The gold sunflowers in my garden are getting so tall but not as tall as a willow. Take care & keep stitching!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Your laying tool sounds wonderful. Isn't it nice to have beautiful tools like that?

[@abradexter1269]

I have an ultra sharp pointed tweezers that I keep with my stitching stuff. I can use it to pick up fluff, poke threads back through to the back, stab myself in the finger...all that amazing tweezery magic. I love those square blocks! I am going to have to add them to my cart so that I can accidently purchase them very soon, lol. Especially the bees! Thank you for sharing all the stitchy goodness! Take care of you🤗❤ Gold Willow

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

You made me laugh - "stab myself in the finger" - yes, been there, done that, too!!

[@donnabrown9210]

Hi Sheri! Donna Brown here (not Jim) I really enjoy your floss tubes and only recently discovered you completely by accident. I told my hubby that I wish for a road trip some day just to visit your shop, but we live far away so I may have to be content with online shopping. I love weeping WILLOW trees and the GOLD edges of my Bible :) One of my must have tools is a magnetic needle minder, because without it I would be constantly loosing my needle. The one I have looks like a blue bird and it’s so cute sitting in the corner of my stitching. 😊

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I hope you get to visit us one day, Donna! Colorado is a great state for vacations. :-)

[@NDQuilter1]

My favorite tool in my gold bag is my corner gauge. Helps me start all my new projects.

[@anna-carins5560]

Your flosstube gets the GOLD medal!

Thank you!!
