Flosstube 69 - 01/31/24: an FO, WIPS, haul & more

[@bethmcguire7581]

Thank you Lisa for being a proponent of positivity in the cross stitch community!!! Most of us do not have money to just throw away in attempt to acquire supplies for our hobby! I had similar experience with the named company and the communication was terrible! When my email was finally answered my order amazingly was sent that very day, after close to three months after my order was placed! Thank you for your video time, hug the baby, and Best Stitches Always 😊❤❤❤

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Yes! This is exactly why I mentioned something because none of us would like to give our crafty dollars to stores that can’t give value back. Thank you for your kind comment - I appreciate you 🤗

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finish and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

[@missionstitch]

Lisa!!!!!! I have been watching your videos for what seems like forever. You were one of the first people I started watching when I first found Flosstube. So to hear you share my name and channel was a pinch me moment!!! I’m still all a flutter! I am so grateful for your kind words and your willingness to share with your community. You are the sweetest and have a heart of gold and I consider us dear friends now. 🤭 I think stitching the smalls book from the WOW box was a brilliant idea. Your WIPs are beautiful and I gasp every time you show your Garden Beauty. I have got to start her!! Thank you again friend!!!!🥰 ❤❤❤ Emi

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Oh my gosh Emi I am really flattered that you watch my videos and have such sweet things to say! I am so thrilled to have found you and am busy binge watching your videos. Your stitching is lovely. Ok, I feel like we need to meet in person and have a mutual lovefest lol. If I get through Utah on my way to WA (or on way home) I will have to let you know so maybe we can meet up! Now returning to my binge watch session 🤣

[@Stitchin_Stacie]

Ladies, I watch and love you both.May I please crash your meet up party in Utah if it happens?

[@blueoliveoyl647]

Love your podcast and your A+ ability to enable us with all the goodness that is cross-stitch! Oh, and love that band pattern! 🪡

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@homesteadingonthehomefront]

That store has been mentioned on numerous Flosstubes over the years. You are not alone. File a credit card dispute if you need to. Agree that Buyer Bewares should happen more often!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Oh my goodness - thank you! And yes I am starting the credit card dispute process tomorrow 😊

[@denisefoo3063]

Oh my gosh, Garden Beauty looks amazing.What lovely colors .congrats on your finish of the black bird pattern as well.😊

[@CrossedbyFloss]

She is coming along really nicely isn’t she?!? I am always caught off guard when kitting the colors wondering how in the world they work together but they do 🤣🤣

[@thread.needle.scissorsstcl9537]

I adore your Four and Twenty Black Bird finish! What a great pattern!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

I am so stinking happy that it is finally finished 🤣

[@TheStitchingOwl]

I am so glad you had the opportunity to come to Ontario even if not recently. I enjoy stitching a bird in a tree or Quaker.

[@ninapulliam9200]

Hope you and the family are all recovered! Great WIPs and haul Lisa. Bird, band, duck. ❤️

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you Nina - me too! I have declared the rest of 2024 a germ free year…will see how that goes 🤣

[@lindaholland683]

You got a lot of great charts on the destash. Beautiful starts..what a great idea for your twelve starts. I just love the red box and the goodies. Your bird finish is stunning.

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Weren’t they great charts?!? Never know with a blind bag situation but it was so good. Oh my was so glad to get the red box as I understand she isn’t doing it again. So many pretties in it. And the Smalls book was the perfect easy thing to do the NYE 12x12 for 🤣🤣

[@thread.needle.scissorsstcl9537]

What great patterns you received in the mystery envelopes.! Band, Duck!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Right?!? It was a treasure trove lol

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Thank you for sharing your buyer beware! I have bought from a few places after your recommendations, so I trust your judgement on this. Also, I'm currently stitching Fairy Flora, so seeing your pup always makes me smile.

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you so much for saying this. I was a bit worried but know there are several stitchers who purchase based on recommendations and if we don’t mention good and bad that’s not super helpful. Hahaa I have Fairy Flora too and never connected the puppers with the pattern. Have now though 🤗

[@tracydaly6980]

Loved your Flosstube today! I head over head for the duck pattern.

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you for watching 🤗 Isn’t that a cute pattern?? I suspect stitched up it is so much better than the picture (as most patterns are lol) Have a great day.

[@kankerdoodleb9149]

Counting errors just add to the charm. I've been working on a pattern with a bird that is blue, but black birds are my favorite.

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Yes - charm is a sweet way of putting counting errors. 😍

[@ritaannehaverman8395]

I so look forward to your videos. The Long Dog Sampler is gorgeous and I wish that was part of the deal... but ... Duck, Band, Bird. Thank you.

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Lol that is a good chart isn’t it??? Who knows, it may come up yet 🤣 Thank you so much for being a part of my videos, it means the world to me 🤗

[@jodysackett2030]

I really enjoy your videos they are so inspirational. The back bird finish you shared is beautiful.

[@CrossedbyFloss]

What a sweet comment - thank you so much 🤗

[@theresachucle5362]

Glad you are feeling better and enjoyed watching your video love seeing your progress. Have a wonderful day and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you so much! I am declaring the rest of 2024 a germ free year lol. Happy stitching friend 🤗

[@april_heirlooms]

I love your idea of doing that smalls book for your 12x12!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Once I saw the book and that it had 12 smalls in it, it seemed like fate!! 😂

[@philippacarlin6542]

Jenn The Caffeinated Crafter was the one who put me on to Vivsters flags. I'm so happy to see another fellow stitcher who has chosen to go down that path. Enjoy because they are beautiful. 😊

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Are they not just so good?? I think Caroline The Flosstube Stitcher was who I first heard about these glorious flags, then watched Jen who really pushed me over the cliff to purchase 🤣 Oh the enablement that happens on flosstube lol

[@lindamcivor8486]

You just popped up on my KZbin so I’m planning on going back to your first session and watching them all. I really enjoyed this one.

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Wow Linda - that is a lot of me to watch 🤣🤣 I am so happy to hear you enjoyed this video - thank you so much 🤗

[@kellyroberts71]

Recently found your channel when looking for WIP parades! Love the Prairie Schooler band sampler and can't wait to see your mystery band sampler when it is completed!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

I am so glad I popped up in your search. Thank you for watching 🤗

[@marlenemay9183]

I'm in trouble....I had to pause your video and go get the Canadian Flag plus one more.....I can't wait to start it. I had to jump on the band wagon!! Another great video.

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Hahahahha omg this made me giggle so hard. Super happy to enable 🤣 It is a great chart….though is mine isn’t started yet. I hope you have started yours. Ooohhhhh maybe I should start it for a stitch and sip!!! Great idea that popped in my head 🤣🤣

[@beckipugh8124]

Enjoyed the video, I love all your videos you are so funny! That was a great Destash you came across . Hoping you have safe travels to Washington to watch the "Little" and can get some of those smalls done. Congrats on the finish! Look forward to seeing what you have for us in the next video, Happy Stitching! Oh almost forgot I hope Miss Flora is feeling better. BAND!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you Becki. You know comments like these make my heart so happy and I repeatedly let my children know others really do think I am funny 😂 Flora is on the mend, the loves and treats she is getting are over the top lol Take care friend and until the next video - hugs!!

[@wilenemoss4575]

I have just found your channel and enjoyed watching you very much. You do lovely work. Bird

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you so much - glad you found me and are enjoying 😊

[@EnchantingStitching9697]

I always enjoy your videos and I would love to stitch the bird

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you 😊

[@dawntomczyk8267]

Love your wips. Glad you are feeling better. I really love the bird

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you! 😊

[@lisaboban]

Bird is the word!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Lol love this!

[@amyharthernon]

I also ordered from that shop, I did eventually get what I ordered but holy cow it took Forever!!! I will not use them again. I hope you get a resolution soon!!!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Sorry to hear that you also had a negative experience but glad you eventually received your items. If there was some sort of communication- just an acknowledgment of receipt of email I would have been ok. But to just take the money and have no customer follow up does not make for a wonderful relationship.

[@amyharthernon]

@@CrossedbyFloss As I recall, there was no update about my order. I had forgotten about it for a while, and then thought, wait a minute!!! Kept waiting for a shipping notice email, but after quite a long time my charts finally arrived. As you said, not great business practices!!!

[@beckyfarion6193]

Hi Lisa!!! It’s so good to see you again!! Happy 2024!! Question for you…where do you purchase your magnifica beads? I ordered from 123 Stitch and got everything but those beads as they didn’t have them! Thank you for any info you may have!!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Hi Becky. Happy 2024 to you! I don’t have the best information for magnifica other than you can get lucky at some brick and mortar LNS as they may still have some (though all the popular ones are probably gone). I do know if they are for Mirabilias you can buy the bead packs and they will have the magnificas. The store in Vegas has a plethora of kitted bead packs. Other than that, Hobby Lobby has some small glass beads that are magnifica sized and Toho beads are said to be similar to Mill Hill. Hope that helps 😊

[@JanetJabber]

Great update. 🌻🪡🌻

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Thank you sweet friend 🥰

[@theintuitivestitcher9336]

Hi Lisa! Have missed you. So good to see you! Always enjoy your flosstubes. You know that by now 😊 You got a lot of nice "finds"! Catherine Theron just taught a class at my EGA group! I will definitely check out Mission Stitch! If I don't see you before you go to Washington, have a safe trip! Take care ♡

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Cynthia you are the sweetest and I absolutely love seeing your comments on my videos 🥰 Oh I bet that was a wonderful talk by Catherine! She has such a lovely variety of patterns and I am really lucky to have a few in my stash now. Some I might need to share as they have stitches I can’t do (and totally ok with that lol) and am sure that someone will love them too. Take care my sweet friend 🤗🤗🤗

[@stephaniewingett2173]

Hey there! Finally was able to watch your most "recent video" only to discover it's 2 months old. Hope everything is ok. Hugs! Steph

[@pamelateague9503]

Hi Lisa. Great video. Loving your Mirabilia pieces. I recently purchased a Gus frame . Haven't received it yet. Im hoping it will support my larger Omanik frames. My Lowery stand tips when I have the larger frames. The Gus frames are hand made by a retired man. I was on his waitlist with a projected time of late spring. He contacted me couple weeks ago , several people in front of me were not ready to purchase. Im not sure when mine will come but I'm excited. If youre interested I can email you with his info. Its pricey and I'm praying its worth the $$$. I haven't heard you say if you're going to QCSR this year. Happy Stitching......Pam😊❤

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Hi Pam! Yes, the Gus frame is what I heard would be a great alternative and would love his info. Lucky you to be able to jump ahead in the wait list because others aren’t quite ready to purchase. I need to be on that list. I guess in the meantime I will see if a Frank Edmonds or Stitchmaster stand will work for the interim. I am not going to QCSR this year. It is too close to my daughters b-day and my anniversary to justify being able to go. But possibly next year depending on the date 😊

[@Stitch_Therapist]

Love your videos❤ Band

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Yay! Thank you! 🤗

[@KatyandRoxysMom]

Lisa, do you have a link for the scroll frame that you use and really like?

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Hi 😊 yes I sure do! It is: omanikfactory.com/product-category/quantum

[@KatyandRoxysMom]

Thank you! Watching your floss tube right now! You always make my night!!!!!

[@EleanorNeedlewoman]

Please see email. I wish I had seen this earlier. I can hardly believe my eyes-- that haul you got in the mail is well, unbelievable.😧

[@peggyyoung1839]

Lisa did you get married & how did I miss that?!

[@CrossedbyFloss]

Lol Peggy, yep Vegas wedding in Oct. It was so much fun!

[@peggyyoung1839]

Well congrats!!!! I’m also binge watching Emi since you suggested her. Her stitching is stunning!
