Welcoming you to floss tube. Enjoyed your kits. I love Gekco Rouge. This is a hobby enjoy it for you. Don’t stress yourself out. This is fun. Beautiful work

[@kaylirodgers413]

Wow you have INCREDIBLE full coverages. Amazing video❤❤❤❤

[@LesliesLakeLife]

Love your projects. I have yet to try a full coverage piece but it is definitely on my list for the future. Eton Mess ? from Contemporary XStitch is so gorgeous! Look forward to seeing your progress on all of your projects.

[@AlchemistStitcher]

@@LesliesLakeLife full coverage is so fun and satisfying. I hope you give it a try soon!

[@TheSnitchStitcher]

Welcome to FlossTube! I loveeeeee your projects. I’m not a full coverage stitcher, but I’m loving vicariously through you! 😂

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Hooray, another full coverage stitcher! So glad to see you jump into the Flosstube community and share all your lovely stitching! 🙂💕

[@bobbiejotansley3892]

Great first flosstube! I found you from Cottage Rogue stitcher. I do both regular and full coverage, love your projects! I’m now onto watching your 2 nd one!

[@JennsWorldofStitches]

Hi!! Love your projects! Great first video! Welcome to Floss Tube!

[@ellenmartin4509]

I loved this video! It was so interesting to hear your history with cross stitch and thought the comment about tent stitching is very valid! I personally love tent stitching because I'll do anything to get these huge projects actually finished 😅😅 PS, your channell name is so fitting 😊

[@AlchemistStitcher]

@@ellenmartin4509 maybe I’ll try a tent stitch in the future. I do have a lot of big projects I want to get done too

[@lydiajohnson2084]

Amazing work. Maybe show us some completed work. Your stitching is beautiful

[@AlchemistStitcher]

Thank you! I'll show some of my old finishes in the next video

[@DebbieBuckland]

I too now have alot of unconvetional x stitch charts - currently stitching Hugin and munin - other projects i have on the go is one thread geeks - curious crow others... moon deer from owl forest embroidery and their sal an heaps of others.

[@AlchemistStitcher]

@@DebbieBuckland Hugin Munin is on my wish list!

[@curleycrafter2815]

I love your thoughts on tent stitch! That is exactly how I feel about it. I've tried and tried to enjoy it, for times sake, and I just can't do it. I also stitch aka collect Gecko Rouge. Love their kits. I plead the fifth on how many I have. Can't wait for your next video.

[@Linda-Lovestostitch]

I love full coverage and you fit the bill. I am looking forward to seeing more from you. Great projects.

[@hilaryrasmussen5736]

Your projects are beautiful! Welcome to floss tube, enjoy your stitching it will get done don’t stress. Have a good week.

[@littlesquid8]

Welcome to flosstube! I LOVE Folk Witch, her colors are beautiful! And the cat cleaning himself is so cute haha!

[@the_sleepystitcher]

Your projects are so nice! I love full coverage...I'm going to have to go check out some of the designers you named 😊 Welcome to flosstube!!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Anna...thank you for the delightful posting...enjoyed everything you shared...you are one busy lady with children and work...best wishes ❤

[@ninja.stitcha]

Thanks - lovely to hear about your projects in a little more detail. ❤

[@normaferro3190]

Finding your channel was a real treat today. Your projects are all beautiful and I look forward to more flosstubes from you. Happy stitching!🪡🧵

[@AlchemistStitcher]

You’re so sweet! Thank you 😊

[@TheNutmegStitcher]

Love find others who love full coverage. Thanks for sharing. Hello from Tennessee.

[@claraarellano1867]

Hi, I’m a huge GeckoRouge kit buyer! I’ve finished only two so far but I own so many of their kits. I don’t own dream or Air by Koresh but I will soon now that I’ve seen yours. So needless to say I’m so happy to see you stitching so many of Glenn’s kits. I also loved all your other WIPs except for the dark scary art kits. I just don’t stitch those. I hope you’re able to do videos even if they’re every two or 3 weeks. Welcome to Flosstube!

[@melip3420]

I love full coverage! Great to see another full coverage stitcher. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@ashleysstitchingcorner]

Welcome to flosstube, Anna! It's wonderful to meet you and you have a wonderful abundance of starts! Witcher is my favourite because I agree with you, Henry Cavill is indeed the most handsome man alive. 😍

[@tiffinielise88]

Hi! So glad I stumbled upon your flosstube! I’m a 36 year old full time working momma too! Cross stitch time is such a treat ❤

[@angiefittro8372]

Welcome to flosstube! Our channel does a Needles Up shoutout, and I will be including yours on our next episode, the day before Thanksgiving. We are August_1823_Stitchers. I would recommend Saga for your next Long Dog because you have children, and each segment includes a story with it.

[@alexandragiangreco7370]

welcome to flosstube, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cross stitch with us. i love your projects and i hope to see more soon🩷

[@PalettePC]

Very nice WIP parade. We have similar styles of stitching. I tried tent on one of my HAEDs and it just was not for me. I also wish Patternkeeper was around when I started my full coverage pieces. I stitch on 18 count due to my eye sight. I have a few Witchykitt Designs and Artecy charts, the rest are HAED. I wish I had known about Gecko Rouge sooner! I need to explore the others you listed as well. I have many Long Dog Samplers, which I usually pick up after working on confetti heavy areas. Currently my favorite project is Russian Windows from Owl Forest Embroidery.

[@AlchemistStitcher]

I just looked up Russian Windows and it's so intricate and beautiful! I can see myself stitching it for my mom as a gift

[@bittenbythestitchybugg]

Hi, Anna! I'm so glad I came across your channel, you have some beautiful wips. I can't wait to see another video from you.

[@Lobirdie58]

Beautiful projects! I am still afraid to start a full coverage!!

[@AlchemistStitcher]

@@Lobirdie58 one thing you should be afraid of is that you’ll like full coverage too much and then you’ll end up with too many full coverage charts and projects. Give it a go and if you don’t like it you don’t have to finish, but at least you’re tried☺️

[@birdseyestitches]

Oh my goodness! I’m loving all your full coverage, so inspiring! Welcome to Flosstube can’t wait to watch your progress! Happy stitching!

[@jackiemannion4997]

Great video. Love Dream... it's already in my basket.

[@TheCrossStitchGuy]

Welcome to flosstube! Thank you for mentioning Contemporary Cross since I have never heard of them prior to this. I love your full coverage projects. I like the fact that they are a few years old since you don’t really see them for sale anymore. It was really nice to see patterns that are considered “new” to me.

[@AlchemistStitcher]

Thank you, Yoshi! I've been following your channel for a while now and I love all of your WIPs. Glad you learned about Contemporary Cross from me 🙂 I have a few more charts from them that I've purchased, but haven't started yet

[@TheCrossStitchGuy]

@@AlchemistStitcher thank you for introducing them to me. I found 4 projects that I love on their site. I'll be adding that to my ever continuing list of things to buy.

[@suepage5650]

Hi Anna! Great first video - I hope you get the time to do more in the future. Hit the Subscribe button as soon as you said you were working on Geckos - I was stitching their Bramley Hedgehog (David Finney) while I was watching you. I have one GR completed (Fir Falling Snow) and two more in my stash and two more on my wish-list that will probably find themselves in my basket early next year 😊

[@AlchemistStitcher]

Thanks for subscribing! I'll make more videos of my progress for sure. Glad to see so many Gecko fans in the comments 🙂 I've considered getting Fir Falling Snow many times, but I keep thinking it might be too small on 25 count? I don't think I'll do well with higher count.

[@suepage5650]

@@AlchemistStitcher I actually did it on 28 count (I wanted the bird to be roughly life-sized) and it worked really well. I think it’s because it is such a delicate, detailed design. 25-count would be great - and the bonus is lower framing costs

[@ruthannadams6196]

Welcome to flosstube! I'm in So Cali too!!! Love your projects!❤

Welcome. Beautiful projects. Happy stitching

[@sandykalmeyer9523]

Great first Flosstube. I absolutely love the pattern Dream. So lovely. Happy stitching🪡

[@StainedGlassandSamplers]

Loved your video! I'm mostly a full coverage stitcher as well and so love discovering new flosstubers that stitch similarly to me! I keep being tempted by 'Sweet Summertime' each time I see it. Haven't been enabled yet, but will love to watch your progress on that one!

[@MultipleLanesCreativeBrain]

Welcome to flosstube 😊. You have some really great projects! Love your Witcher hehe, 😉 he's some nice to look at that Henry 😄. Look forward to seeing your progress 😊

[@SmartDollCosplay]

Your wipe look great! I love your colour selections❤

[@beckykinsinger6829]

Your channel name got me to watch, and full coverage, 25 ct and full cross sealed the deal! welcome!

[@Sheryle871]

I d d subscribed to your channel. I enjoyed your flosstube. I look forward to upcoming videos . Thank you for posting.

[@MadMorti]

Welcome to Flosstube and #under1000subsclub ❤ Totally get where you're coming from with the "tent stitch is cheating" thing but as someone who is now more than halfway through her life, the ticking clock is loud and I need to get through my full coverages a bit quicker. So I had to push my "it's cheating!" thoughts to one side and get on with it. Heheheheh Fab pieces you're working on....

[@AlchemistStitcher]

@@MadMorti very true! I might have to start doing tent stitch on my future projects so I can finish them within my lifetime

[@francummings3398]

You have some terrific projects. It will be fun to watch your progress as time goes by😊

[@sharonscraftycreations9652]

welcome to flosstube ! fabulous first video, love Dream its gorgeous 😍 I have a fair few GeckoRouge kits too hehe 😂 look forward to seeing more videos ! xx

[@krissa1911]

Great projects!! Can’t wait to see your progress

[@officialmermaidscove1376]

I love your projects! ❤ I've finished 2 Gecko Rouge kits 'Giving them a place to fly free' and 'Ying Yang Dragons' both of them were mostly stitched in tent stitch. 😂 I'm also currently working on 'Dracarys'. I can't wait to follow along with your progress! Happy stitching 😊

[@AlchemistStitcher]

I have 'Dracarys' in my stash, but haven't start it yet! It's beautiful

[@officialmermaidscove1376]

@AlchemistStitcher Yes it definitely is, so far the largest kit I've done yet. I'm ~30% of the way through so far.

[@Whimsicalstitcher]

Your gonna be great❤❤❤

[@samodiva_]

why why why did I have to watch this?! I never knew ThreadGeeks existed before watching you and now... now I want most if not all of their charts... and I need someone to blame (cos obv I am not taking responsibility for my purchasing habits) :D Loved the video and your WIPs. Thank you for sharing!

[@AlchemistStitcher]

That's fine! You can blame me! Watching FlossTube is always a very dangerous activity for your wallet. Let me know what charts you end up getting from ThreadGeeks 😏

[@klmp01041]

Just found your channel. Love full coverage so look forward to seeing your progress.

[@paulinedean4419]

Hi Anna! Great first video. I will be subscribing, I can’t wait to see your progress on your beautiful projects. I love The Dream it is beautiful but I do love a lot of the other ones. I might change my mind when I see more progress on them all. I also live in Southern California, I’m in the San Fernando Valley. Looking forward to your next FlossTube ❤❤❤❤

[@k4ng]

I loved hearing about your life and how it's affected your approach to stitching! I didnt know floss tube was a thing this is so soothing and nice and fun ❤ what is the circle magnet thats on each piece? I know the straps are to hold the fabric. Im off to google what tent stitch is!

[@AlchemistStitcher]

@@k4ng the little circles in the middle are magnetic needle minders and can be used to hold your needles, but with kids running around I don’t trust that the magnets are strong enough. I usually get them with a print of a project I’m working on just for fun

[@CarolAttrux]

Hi Anna! I really enjoyed seeing your wips. I am subscribing to you from Alberta, Canada. I have a few full coverage pieces but I haven’t found the best way to approach them. I do stitch them on 25 ct Lugansk’s, 1x1 full cross. I can’t do tent stitch either. I want to always finish the cross! I look forward to following your channel! 🇨🇦😀

[@AlchemistStitcher]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@stitching_geri]

Welcome to flosstube! I love full coverage, so I look forward to following your progress. Your emerald ring is stunning, by the way 💚 I would love a Gecko Rouge kit some day, but for now I work on pdf patterns that I kit myself. Our tastes are similar!

[@stitchininoregon]

Great job and great projects! ❤

[@kansascitystitcher-samanth2165]

I love all of your full coverages. What kind of snake do you have?

[@AlchemistStitcher]

Thank you! I have a baby corn snake. Maybe I'll show him (or her) during my next video
