Just found your channel. Lovely to see another uk flosstuber. Enjoyed your video, love Emma Congden too. Off to check out your designs. The Newcastle baubles are great, I'm slightly south in County Durham. ❤

Hi Claire 👋 So happy I found your lovely Flosstube! Thanks for sharing your lovely projects and championing small UK 🇬🇧 designers. Love your Dreaming of Summer sal design so far - I missed joining it but will definitely purchase the kit once available. Thanks for sharing the Newcastle baubles they are just gorgeous. Happy stitching 🪡🧵✂️

Loved your 1st vlog. Your "snug" colors sound lovely, here's hoping you share a quick photo in your next vlog😊 #subscribed

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Claire...beautifully done video...your designs of birds are adorable...enjoyed your whips...best wishes ❤❤

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you 🥰

[@lindaglover7548]

Hi Claire, great to see you, great video. Love your WIPS, love your designs. Congratulations

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you so much!

[@crystalflanders4786]

Hi claire and welcome. I love your patterns.

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you! 😊

[@jylromain6439]

I enjoyed seeing your WIPS, especially the Magic piece. I'll be back.

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Great, yes the magic one is a Emma Congdon pattern for Stitchrovia ❤

[@SarcasticCrow4880]

Just found your flosstube and subscribed right away. I love all of your patterns and I also color complete as you do. I find it easier to focus on one symbol at a time and get that goal completed feeling when I can mark off a symbol. I look forward to your future postings. Another title for your love birds could be “ Peachy Keen”. I like the way you did the gradient effect of their bodies.

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

I really like the idea of 'Peachy Keen' I wish I'd thought of that 😘 I may ask for help naming my patterns from now on 😃

[@Thundergigglez]

Very nice first video! Love your projects! 🪡🧵☮️🌷

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you!

[@anaussieinakiwiworld9355]

Welcome to flosstube, you have some lovely projects. I love to colour complete on some projects, especially if it has lots of black stitches. Look forward to your next flosstube. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷 from Judy in New Zealand FT An Aussie in a Kiwi world

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

I just found your FT this week 😄 😍

[@susanhaywardault3514]

Love your first floss tube which popped up out of nowhere 😊 I’ve obviously subscribed 🪡

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thanks for subscribing! Welcome along for the ride 😂

[@TheStitchingOwl]

I so enjoy your designs and appreciate that I can purchase as a pdf since I am in Canada. Lovely to also have you start a flosstube channel…I shall subscribe and watch every time.

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you so much, I’m still feeling a little awkward about the FT but enjoy showing what I stitch. I love seeing what everyone else stitches ❤

[@BeeMoreCreative]

Just found your flosstube really enjoyed it looking forward to adding you to my regular flosstube list. I love your SAL can't wait for part 2. Happy Stitching

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thanks Beth 😘

[@kirsti.diamondstitcher]

Hello Claire, lovely first video. I love birds & your patterns! I have the Wren & Bluetit, I just need to start them!

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you - the birds are ever popular! 🥰

[@sewmesarah]

I found you by accident Claire! So good to see you on flosstube!

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Hi Sarah 👋, yes I’ve been keeping it quiet but the hubby found out today so the cat is out of the bag 😂

[@pattyrifkin2920]

Just found this today. Love, love, love your color palettes and designs. Off to check out your site and then watch #2 which I see here.

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Awesome! Thank you! 🙏

[@suedavies8565]

Lovely to meet you, I love your birds and I have a ‘tree’ in my dining room and originally it held Christmas ornaments including your beautiful deer and the robin. The deer has wandered off but the robin has been joined by the blue tit and the wren. Hopefully they will be joined by more of your exquisite bird designs in the future.

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

ooh I'd love to see a pic of the tree? 😘

[@elizabethaston4434]

Hi Claire only just found you on flosstube. Great 1st video. Absolutely love all your designs, iv admired them for a while now. Hopefully in the future I will stitch some of them. Happy stitching 😊❤

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

great, thank you for watching and the very kind words 🥰

[@Michele-sn6et]

Enjoyed your first vlog. I have just purchased your new SAL x

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Fantastic! Glad to have you on board! 🥰

[@stitchingfromgnomecottage141]

Great to meet you. Had a look at the Trouvaille stitch kits and am so happy to find a cross stitch kit of Cleethorpes Pier as I live in Lincolnshire and am slowly building a collection of Lincolnshire charts. So thank you for highlighting a new designer to me. Look forward to seeing you again

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

I didn’t know how far down the country her designs spanned, but I really liked the Sycamore Gap one too. X

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

I didn’t want that to sound like I thought Sycamore Gap was in Lincolnshire 😂 I just meant to mention the Sycamore Gap one on my flosstube 🫣

[@WeediflowerCreations]

Loving your first episode. So great to meet the person behind the name. I must tell you that I’ve had that same Kiss piece on the go …… it’s be in my ‘retired projects’ box for a few years (maybe 8). I’m very tempted to get it back out again now I’ve seen you working on it. Maybe you can keep me on track 🤣. I’m in Gloucestershire. Karen x

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

I really dread to think how long this one was ‘on hold’ - the shop I bought it from doesn’t even exist anymore 🫣

[@noranok9442]

So glad to meet you! Love your designs and pieces you’re working on. Beautiful and fun! ❤❤❤

[@bridget572]

Congratulations on your first flosstube you did a great job. Love seeing your stitching

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you 🥰

[@denisejackman2055]

Really enjoyed your first floss tube. I’m looking forward to the next.

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you, there'll be a new one very soon 🤣

[@flossysewsandgrows]

Brilliant first Flosstube! Great to see some of the things you stitch on yourself too. Happy Stitching! xx

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you Sally, you are an inspiration - I love checking in to see what you’ve stitched too 😘

[@katemurray1981]

I really enjoyed your video! Look forward to your next one. I LOVE birds and your interpretation of them thru cross stitching ❤️

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Thank you Kate, was so nervous about doing this. For the next one, I may plan it beforehand 😃

[@juliepickett8895]

Two birds just popped into my cart - love the Robin and Wren and can’t wait to stitch them! Good to meet you!

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

They are easily the most popular ones out of my birds 😁

[@mandyoreads]

Hi Claire. So good to see you here on Flosstube. Thank you for sharing your Stitching. I’m also working on an Emily Peacock design called ‘Welcome’ and it’s HUGE! Your finished ‘HUG’ is stunning ❤ Really looking forward to seeing your future videos. Take care for now and Happy Stitching x

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Hi Mandy, I’m so surprised at how many people have found me on Flosstube. Even the hubby has now found out 🫣 I love Emily’s designs. The welcome one looks pretty big, I really love her octopus/squid one but I’m not convinced I’d ever finish it 😂

[@marylynnlucas3918]

OMG I can not believe my stars that U found you. I am big fan of your cross stitch patterns. Your display of your pieces in the six inch hoops are amazing. Where did you get the stands from if you don't mind me asking?

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Hi @marylynnlucas3918 thanks for being a fan 😉 always nice to hear. If you are talking of the little wooden stands that each individual hoop is stood on - I make them myself out of plywood. I basically based it on a plate stand 🤣

[@craftykat1634]

Hi!mim in the US, Will the love bird pattern be available in your etsy shop as a pdf? Love your birds. I’ve got them all off Etsy as PDFs. If not could you let me know how to get the chart?

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

Hi @craftykat1634 - the lovebirds pattern will be available as a pdf or printed pattern after the subscription box comes out, so should be from the 15th of July 😄

[@jackiemcmullin3452]

Can’t find the Bird Nerd pattern. Can you help?

[@lovepoppetcrossstitch]

@jackiemcmullin3452 If you look at Boomerangstitches on Instagram, in her details is her linktree - that will take you to 'free patterns'
