FLOSS TUBE #36 Year in Review 2018

[@cup_of_floss]

I know exactly what you mean when you describe how each piece invokes memories of the time you stitched it. Where you were, what was happening... I love that about our craft.

[@katgallant8637]

Hi Luda, Your cross-stitch pieces are stunning. As I watch your video I am in awe to see how many pieces you have stitched. They are all beautiful and wonderful works of art. Please show them when you have the finished pieces framed. Keep up the lovely work! Your videos are great to watch. Take care and happy stitching.

[@sherrykeever8097]

I have only watched a couple of your video but I have thoroughly enjoyed them. You are so talented. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see more of your stitching. Take care and may God bless you always.

[@karendavis-macon9658]

[@KellyBellcambridgegiftsbykelly]

I’m very glad you had a safe trip and your cross stitch made it too. Such very lovely pieces of work. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching 🧵

[@pamlacey136]

I have just found your FT channel and I have subscribed. I plan to go back and watch you previous videos so I can see everything that you have stitched. I love your beautiful projects and you must stitch so fast as you have so many gorgeous finishes! I look forward to more of your videos. Happy stitching.

[@trishsnipes3035]

So happy to have found your channel! I stitched the Mirabilia Stargazer several years ago but have not stitched another one since. Watching your videos has inspired me to do another and I ordered The Raven Queen today 😊 since I can only stitch one large project at a time and maybe a small one or two I have to wait till I get my current piece done. I’m working on Autumn on Lazy Bear Mountian by Kathy Barrick. Happy stitching 😊

[@marilyndickman4423]

So many beautiful things! I can tell you are happy to be home! Looking forward to seeing all you finish in 2019!!

[@slim1one]

Beautiful Luda, everything is just beautiful. I love the icons - I am Eastern Orthodox as well so they hold a special place in my heart.

[@chrisb5391]

Hello Luda. I just found your channel! Your stitching is absolutely gorgeous! Now I must watch some of your previous videos to catch up.

[@michelleaukett4366]

[@robynt1673]

Absolutely stunning stitching. Congratulations on your move. There is no better feeling than being home.

[@FiberFlossandFiction]

Beautiful finishes, Luda! You finished a LOT of pieces this year. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your Mirabilias this year. Hopefully you’ll be feeling more settled in after your move and you’ll have the opportunity for some stitching time.

[@kristinanne6534]

Welcome home! You look so happy to be home! It was so nice to see you again.

[@laurastreet7600]

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo Luda! All your projects are breathtaking and may I add from a fashion standpoint- love your sweater with your necklace- gorgeous combination! Your big framed piece of the flowers and the birds - just love the colors so much- deep and rich! And the Oriental Splendor- gorgeous- gorgeous gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing! You are inspirational!

[@virginiamiller2449]

So happy you all had a safe trip. Your finishes are gorgeous. Only a stitcher would understand about carrying about your project's with you. Happy stitching.

[@sharonwolfgang8832]

Luda, I am happy you and your family made it safe and sound. I am sure you will have alot of adjusting to do with the move. You do have some wonderful finishes. You are an awesome stitcher. You inspire me to keep wanting to do bigger projects. I wish you the best and hope to see you soon.

[@carolyncaverly2190]

Incredible body of work - so many finishes in one year's time. Astounding!

[@carlenehall2979]

Luda I am so happy for you to be back in the Ukraine, I can tell by the smile on your face and the tone of your voice that you are happy! Thank you for showing all of your lovely finished projects.

[@pjstitcher8364]

I am glad to see you home and to see you so happy. I am inspired by all your wonderful stitches. Happy Stitching! PamC

[@Jasmine-ur1sl]

Hi, Luda. I am glad you and your family traveled safely and are home. Great video, and as always - love seeing your amazingly beautiful cross-stitch projects. I am looking forward to seeing your progress on the 2019 projects!

[@juliegomery2792]

Hello, Luda! I am so glad you all are safely in the Ukraine and that you are having such joy in rediscovering your home and being with family. I pray it all works out for you to get settled and not have to be away from your son too much as you balance his needs with your situation. It must be very comforting to know he is with your mother, though. Thank you for sharing your lovely work again and I look forward to you sharing the pieces you have kept in your homeland. Hope you have a blessed and happy few weeks! Thank you for updating us!

[@Lbarnard1307]

Julie Gomery Thank you , Julie 💞

[@anitchtocrossstitch6035]

Hello Luda, I was so happy to see this video and all your beautiful stitching! Everything is so pretty and I have to tell you, my daughters name is Violet!! I’ve always loved that name. I agree, I look at my stitched pieces and always remember the story and memories of what I was doing in my life when I was stitching it. I think I talked a bit about that when I showed Snow Queen. I am glad to hear you are happy being home again, I would love to hear more about your adventure getting there and seeing your city, look forward to it. Happy stitching xx

[@sandybakos6914]

Your stitching is awesome! So many big, beautiful finishes. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to hearing about your travels.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Glad you had a safe trip. It’s nice to settle in a little!! Your finishes are absolutely gorgeous!! Oh my you are so talented!!! See you soon!

[@Linda-Lovestostitch]

Your stitches are so perfect.

[@DarlingBluebell]

Hi Luda, so happy for you that you're home! :-) It must feel great to be back in your city indeed. Thank you for the lovely year in review, I have so very much enjoyed seeing your beautiful works.

[@kaylowry4188]

You are an amazing stitcher. Your work is beautiful just like you. Loved this video ❤️

[@rozeevy4305]

Hi Luda. This was my first visit with you. Wow. Your stitching is impressive. Love your horse WIP and all the mermaids, especially Gypsy mermaid. Peace and love

[@kocasio1]

You seem radiant and very happy back in the Ukraine. Congrats! All of your work is beautiful. You have indeed had a productive year.

[@kowgirlkatepaintsaplenty8573]

So happy to see you settled in back home! Everything is just gorgeous and I cant wait to see your progress!

[@sararichards518]

I loved this video. You are such a fabulous and quick stitcher and I am so impressed with all your finishes, all beautiful. I’ve got some Dimensions kits in my stash and I am definitely going to start a couple this year after seeing your work. Very inspiring. And you are so modest about your talent. I’m looking forward to hearing about your trip. My parents came from what is now Ukraine and one of my best friends had Ukrainian parents as well. You seem relaxed about doing so much travelling, I like to feel settled then I can read and stitch. We have just moved and that was bad enough. Thank you for all the time you take to make these videos and present your work so beautifully. 😊💕🌷

[@ladybirdstitcher4200]

Such beautiful pieces. It must be so nice for you to be back home with your family. Looking forward to hearing about your trip. Happy stitching 😊

[@andreac-iheartcrossstitch]

Hello Luda!! I'm so excited that you are finally back in Ukraine! I didn't get much stitching done while watching this video because I was just mesmerized by all of your gorgeous projects! Especially that framed piece and Enchanted Mermaid! I look forward to all of your upcoming videos. 💜

[@Shycat996]

So glad you arrived safely and gosh, Can't believe how quickly you got so much settled all ready!! Great to see all the projects and also to hear some of the travel info. I did get out the map to have sort of an idea of where you now are. Sure will be a lot of moving if only for a month or 2 and then off to another place. We did that when in first couple years of our marriage and it was a challenge. Take care and eager to hear about the adventure you had. I also like larger projects for some reason. Take care and happy stitching.

[@lynettemason3246]

Beautiful stitching! Glad you’re back home. You seem very happy! 😃

[@suzanneproulx614]

I just found your video Your Needlework is absolutely gorgeous. I was surprised actually, to be honest I was hoping to see some Russian patterns and was surprised to see so many Mirabilias, which I love to do also. Thank you for sharing

[@joankiely3614]

Hi Luda. I just love all your work so much! So glad you arrived safely & all your luggage too. It’s lovely to see you laugh when you see Paul from the window. Hope Daniel is happy when he starts school this year & looking forward to hearing all about your travels. Cheers from W.A. 😊😊😉😍💕

[@tinaharsch8761]

Hi Luda, your home, yeah!! you sound so happy. Thank you for showing all of your beautiful work. I only wish I could finish as many. Looking forward to hearing about your travels.

[@newobmat]

Nice to see that you made it safely to your hometown. All of your 2018 projects are beautiful. Look forward to seeing them framed.

[@jillbennett8334]

You look beautiful today and I enjoyed seeing your projects again. I love hearing about your traveling life, so I look forward to your next video about the trip!

[@luannbiegala996]

You do such beautiful work!!!! I live watching your videos.

[@kittee59]

Hi Bella! It does my heart good to see you looking so happy!❤️ I'm glad things are working out so well. It's a good thing you're not in Buffalo this week! Paul would freeze waiting outside⛄️ It's fun to see all of those projects again. Are you kidding me though?! $20 to frame a project!! I had a small one done and it was $150 ! That's just not fair😭 I will be interested to see the finished pieces. Can't wait to hear more about your trip. I'm still giggling over the luggage story 😉💕 👋🏻 Paul, I see you! Enjoy exploring your new/old hometown, and have lots of happy stitching time!💕

[@rhondamoore6137]

So good to see you again! Can’t wait to hear about your adventure going home!

[@joycerobertson7032]

Luda, I am new to your channel. Wow! You are a very prolific stitcher! Your work is very beautiful! I like to work on big projects too! You have inspired me! Happy stitching from British Columbia, Canada!

[@Lbarnard1307]

Joyce Robertson so wonderful to hear from you Joyce. My husband is from Victoria BC, we will be there in summer for a wedding.

[@1948sapphire]

when your video started I wondered what Luda had done! You were positively glowing and the happiness just came bubbling out. Like you have said people are the same however there is no place like home. There is that special feeling when we return no matter how long its been. I just love your religious Icon's . They look really difficult though.

[@jomariehogle1980]

Just amazing masterpieces you stitch. Thank you for sharing. So glad you guys got there safe.

[@craftingwithneena2862]

All of your pieces are just beautiful!

[@sheilanorwood8983]

[@ellenmeester5802]

Goodmorning Luda! Welcome back in Europe. I wish you a very good time back home with your familiy. Enjoy. I love to see all of your video's. Especially the detailed ones of your beatiful work. I adore your "Oriental splendor" And I really want to see the wooden boxes you decorate with your crossstitch work. Would you like to show them and tell us how you did that? Wish you lots of love and God bless you and your family!! Greetings from Ellen (The Netherlands)

[@Lbarnard1307]

Ellen Meester Thank you! I will show in my next videos ☺️

[@crossstitchbutton]

Darling Luda so glad you made safe journey you look beautiful as ever. Now you will have time for yourself to stitch so happy for you. Look forward to more updates and seeing your area, haha! I like how you put your cross stitch above your clothes so funny ( I too would do such a thing ) happy stitching xxx

[@tracydixon7204]

I loved looking back with you at the lovely pieces you finished last year as always you are very inspiring. I'm glad you arrived home safely and had a good trip. Could I ask is there a way you store your Caron Waterliles threads from your Mirabilia/Nora Corbett Designs I'm looking for a way to store them after I untwist the skein when I come to use them xxx

[@Lbarnard1307]

Tracy Dixon Thank you! I keep my used silks on Sajou bobbins in wooden boxes, new ones I store in regular shoe boxes

[@tracydixon7204]

Thank you Luda great minds must think alike, I just ordered some Sajou bobbins on Sunday thinking they might work good to store them on as they looked nice and big 😊

[@bettyulan1247]

Your stitching is amazing. I can’t believe how inexpensive framing is there. My children are 1/4 Ukrainian. It’s interesting to hear you talk about the Ukraine. Thank you for making videos.

[@YanyStitcher]

So happy to see you and your beautiful projects! Love everyone of them! Congratulations 🤗🤗 And you look so pretty today, must be the Ukrainen air☺️

Hello Luda great to see you! So I was wondering if you will be selling your mermaid graphs would love to get my hands on some! Let know. I so enjoy your work. Got my first mirabelia Persephone can't wait to get her going. Because of you I picked her up. Anyway glad to see you! Thanks Sonja

[@lorigriffore2312]

Hi Luda, I really love your videos.....the Aida fabric that you use seems so soft.....do you wash it ahead of time.....my fabrics seem much stiffer.....thank you

[@Lbarnard1307]

Lori Griffore Thank you! I wash my fabric sometimes, but usually no

[@tealelder6475]

Luda, you look so happy being home. Is Daniel happy to be back in Ukraine? How about Paul? I would love to see videos of the area you live in. Your stitching is beautiful! Love all of your pretty pins too. 💞😀

[@Lbarnard1307]

Teal Elder thanks! I will answer in my videos 🧡🧡🧡

[@Cynthiastitches]

Lovely stitches Luda! You look happy now that you can settle in to your place. I have a Thea Gouverneur kit and since I see you have done one and have another one to stitch, do yours have a master key for the floss and symbols? Mine only has floss on cards that have the symbol on it. There are no colors listed anywhere. Just floss on a card, in which there are 42 colors per card! Any suggestions?

[@Lbarnard1307]

Cynthia M I usually use Pako organizer! It helps me to stitch faster

[@KyleStitchingInSound]

Luda!!! I'm so glad to see you made it safely to Unkraine :) Such beautiful projects. I'm with you in thinking that Enchanted Mermaid might be Nora's best mermaid. It was the originally the only mermaid of hers that I had any desire to stitch. Millennium Angel is still as stunning as the first time I saw it. I'm still totally in love with that pin cushion. I remember the night you posted your finish of it and I was stunned and had to stare at it for a loonng time. Lovely to see Paul in the video as well lol. Terrific video, Luda :)

[@patticlaude1]

I'm so happy for you! Oh God,Buffalo! Awful! Happy for you.
