Flosstube #1: Introduction and Wip Parade

[@rebeccajourney3183]

Well hello, nice to meet you! You are not afraid of a BIG project, I admire you❣ Those painters threads are gorgeous!

[@brittanycrossstitches]

I guess I like the process of stitching. I really love finishing them, I like a challenge, I suppose.

[@michellemacdonald0203]

Well done, looking forward to following you on your flosstube journey🥰

[@angiefittro8372]

Wonderful first video.

[@susanbajdek6698]

You really do big projects. Do all the big projects have the grid on them. Great job!

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Not all of them, but most of them. I do a mix of cross country stitch and parking it's easier to keep my place with the grod

[@gammystitcher]

You did an excellent job for first video. And your work is amazing. Welcome cant wait to see next video.

Oh my goodness girl. Your cross stitch projects are sooooo big and gorgeous. Your cross stitch projects are amazing. You did a excellent job on your flosstube. Love puppies.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thank you! They are huge. The disney one is 5ft by 3 1/2 ft.

[@lesliehurley-phatcatphloss1754]

Welcome to FlossTube! You did great. Beautiful stitching!

[@clotheslinecraftscaroline2446]

A great first video. So many beautiful pieces, your Disney one is amazing. Love your two co hosts as well. Hope to see you again soon.

[@pitownsally2795]

Just subscribed. Great first video, you didn't look nervous at all. Love all your wips, and your doggos. Looking forward to your next video.

[@CrossStitchJo]

Wow! You are one busy woman! Your WIPS are fantastic! I admire your talent as a painter, too! Great first video!🎉🎉🎉

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thank you so much. Painting for me is relaxing at first. Once I really start getting into the details of the painting I start getting nervous it won't come together even though it usually does. Doesn't matter how many I've painted I still worry it's not going to work out.

[@SharonCarbine]

Your project choices are very adventuresome and your stitching is spectacular, Brittany! Happy to see you and your work.

[@confessionsofaserialstitcher]

Welcome to flosstube! Great first video & wips! Your furbabies are so cute. Looking forward to watching your progress. 💕

[@beckyess7399]

Thanks for the inspiration! I think that Picasso floss is GORGEOUS!! Gonna have to get some of it. You did a great job on your Flosstube debut! I’m much older than you, but I can relate to motherhood at a young age and all the worry and work that it entails. Happy for you that you’ve earned some well-deserved stitching time. See you next time!

[@suzetteyoungblood6887]

Hi Brittany..great first flosstube! Loved seeing all your ambitious projects. My jaw literally dropped when you showed the first one. Oh my! I’m going to start my first (small lol) full coverage stitch soon. Just waiting on my gridded fabric. It looks like you grid your own. I tried that and it took me forever lol Any tips? So very thankful that you are cancer-free ❤️ Christmas and Easter are my favorite, as well, though I do enjoy Thanksgiving. Please continue to show us your projects. Suzette

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Gridding takes a long time. Unfortunately, I have no tips there. I think it's worth it once it's done though, which is why I continue to do it. Other wise I make a lot of mistakes.

[@suzetteyoungblood6887]

@@brittanycrossstitches thank you (I’m watching your Stitch Along video right now lol). Have you ever just purchased pre-gridded fabric?

[@brittanycrossstitches]

@Suzette Youngblood I have and I hated it because the way its grided is different than how I grid my fabric. For example pre-grided is done along a thread versus I do it between threads. So it confused me to much.

[@suzetteyoungblood6887]

@@brittanycrossstitches wow, that’s interesting. I guess I’ll see how it goes then. Thanks for that info. I just love your Pledge of Allegiance stitch. Maybe I’ll eventually have the nerve lol Have a nice day, Brittany, and thank you for answering my questions.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

@@suzetteyoungblood6887 absolutely! You have a great day was well!

Good morning! do you know how you can just tell within the first few minutes of a video whether or not you’re really really gonna like somebody? Yep! I just subscribed! Welcome to the community. 🤗 Meline 3:30

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thank you. I was so nervous. I really didn't think many people would watch. I love to stitch and lost that passion for many years. It's so nice to be back into it

[@mm-qm9zh]

Wow!!! You have some truly awesome projects! Mad respect for your skills and choices!!! I also love that you and your family have two beautiful rescue babies, and also that you are cancer-free. I am also a cancer survivor of breast cancer in 2021. 👍🙏

[@brittanycrossstitches]

I have been in remission now for 1year. The testing they have to do is crazy every year. 😜 it made me slow down a lot. I'll have to do a stitch with me and explain how we ended up with both dogs and why we got them. We looked for years to find the right fit for our family. A lot of research went into dog breeds and the amount of care they would need. My best friend is a dog trainer and groomer so I had a lot of help finding which would be best.

[@mm-qm9zh]

👍♥️ I would love to hear the whole story!

[@susansaunders397]

Congrats on your first floss tube! You did a great job & I’ll look forward to seeing your next video & progress! I love having some BAPs amongst my WIPs, but have to mix in some smalls to see/feel my accomplishments. Happy Stitching ❤️🧵🪡

[@stitchingmoon]

I just got the In Harmony kit - it looks gorgeous! 😍 I don't know how you did a WIP parade so fast, but it was great!

[@lunarlepus2042]

I enjoyed your WIP parade, you stitching is gorgeous. Great first video. I am looking forward to seeing your progress in your next video.

[@deborahwalton9689]

I loved your video. Your pups are stinking adorable. Your art work is just stunning. You are one talented artist. I can't wait to see the progress you make on your WIPS!!! Question: Does the fabric come with those red grid lines or do you draw them? And, what draws you to the patterns you pick, like the full coverage? BTW: I'm a paper crafter too. I'll do flat cards but my absolute obsession is pop ups and paper piecing. Can't wait for your next KZbin ❤

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thank you. It's taken a years to be able to paint like that. The fabric doesn't come like that I put on a red water soluble pen. So when I wash the piece it comes off. I don't really have anything particular that draws me. Just I think it's beautiful and I want to stitch it, or I can see somewhere in my home I would hang it.

[@harleyriderstitcher3951]

Welcome and we'll done. I also have the Pledge of Allegiance to stitch. You have encouraged me to pull it out and stitch it! Thanks! Your Disney piece is very impressive as well as your Pokémon! Well done! Looking forward to more from you!

[@brittanycrossstitches]

My husband came across the pledge of allegiance and asked if I'd do it so he can hang it on his grandfather memorial wall. I couldn't turn down buying more things or doing piece that would mean a lot to my husband. His grandfather was his male role model growing up and was an amazing man.

[@maryshimp2664]

Such ambitious projects! You intimidate me! I can't imagine finishing such large projects. I will be subscribing just to see how you come along. Great job! Good luck with you cancer diagnosis!

[@brittanycrossstitches]

I'm currently in remission, for about a year now. After the surgeries and a small round of chemo I was cancer free.

[@idratherbecrossstitching9064]

Great first floss tube! I love your Lowery stand set up! Brilliant to hang your scissors/ needle threaded from your lamp.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

I lost them one to many times. So got those badge holders that have the retractable string so they pull out and go back up with just letting go of them. I never have to search.

[@jamesthephstitcher]

Great WIP Parade, congratulations and welcome to Flosstube. Wow you artworks are beautiful, hope to see more progress on your WIPS on your next video. Happy stitching

[@athomewithglenda]

You have an excellent variety of projects, I look forward to watching more.💜💜 I have purchased the Victorian Village but haven't started it yet. 💐💐

[@brittanycrossstitches]

It's not a bad stitch, just pay attention to the half stitches. I did all the half stitches first so I didn't mess up

[@TheBridgeBookclub]

Beautiful stitching and wips! 😍❤️

[@NotWhatSheSeams]

You did great for your first!! Usually what draws people in to stay is hearing about all the things, so it’s not a drawback to talk. Also, the sound effects are great!…I actually use a few myself from time to time 😉 Excited to see you again.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

Thanks! I tend to make a lot of sound effects. Haha.

[@slawlis84790]

That was awesome. I would love to know your technique. Like how do you cross stitch and leave all your strings out. Also is the red lines water soluble pen? I’m a cross stitcher but I’ve never known how to do what you do. Your amazing.

[@brittanycrossstitches]

The red lines are a water soluble pen. I have those pens in red, purple, blue. And red

[@JaneandMolly5166]

Excellent! I was eyeing your Lowery frame (which I also have) but the extension piece to hold a light is new to me. I'll need to research that!

[@brittanycrossstitches]

It's the light bar for the lowery. There's different attachments you can put on the light bar

[@marylandjenkins8716]

Hello, you did a great job on your first floss tube! I have a Lowery stand and was excited to see your set up! Where did you purchase your lamp and what brand is it?
