What a debut! Thanks for sharing your stitching. I am amazed you get my stitching done with FT work and a toddler. I guess not commuting must help. Your journey from Aida to evenweave and I am sure then to linen is interesting. Don’t buy too much of anything until you finally settle. I have lots of 32 count and now I stitch almost entirely on 36 count with one strand. This year I started the Book of Days but you could just use any month to a view diary. I set easy goals on about 6 of my 9 WIPS, eg one sampler row, half the roof of a house, one Quaker motif, touch a project for one day. I am making much better progress with this method and I know I can achieve these goals and more. With FT work and three teens, I have to be strategic with my stitching if I want finishes. Take care.

I love your stitching and you did a great first video showing your beautiful work. I am still an AIDA stitcher, I just love it. Once in a while I venture out of my comfort zone... then I return to AIDA. Looking forward to your next flosstube !!!!!!!!

Great flosstube! I started on Aida 40 years ago, and will always be an Aida stitcher! So many nice soft Aida fabrics available now 😊

You did awesome for your first flosstube. Congratulations. 👏🏻👏🏻 Oh, I hope you continue to finish your old projects that you have started,they are so pretty. Have one out, to pick up when you need to stitch but you really don't have much time or need to concentrate and use those as fill-in projects for those times. With a little one, you may not have time for a lot of congratulations,but you need to stitch and do the fill in on those old projects. 😊 Happy Stitching!

Great 1st flosstube ! Hello neighbor. I'm in western Mass. 😊 I have many projects stitched on Aida. When I started 30ish years ago, I bought projects kitted and aida was always the fabric picked for the kit. I like to stitch on evenweave and linen. You can do it, don't be afraid lol. Start small.

Hi Shannon! You have a pleasant personality and seem to like a lot of the same designers I do, so I thoroughly enjoyed your Flosstube #1. I’ve been stitching longer than you’ve been alive and still enjoy Aida, so unless you don’t like stitching on it anymore or don’t like it’s look, there is no reason not to finish. One thing I like about Aida is that everything looks precise. Depending on the linen, it can have slubs and uneven fibers that I do not always like. I do hope you finish your Fall on the Farm piece, to start over on 32 count will give you the same size and look that you already have on 16 count Aida. Having said that, with a full time job and a baby, I do think you should spend your time stitching what you love! And yes, I also love the crinkle of bags and zippers! Hope to see you continue!

Really love your flosstube! Please keep it up! I stitch on Lugana - love evenweave. Not afraid of linen, just like evenweave better - both in stitching and the finished look. Thank you for the flosstube!

So glad you started a Flosstube - great job and love your projects! Zippers and plastic bags are great - they’re a part of stitchy life, I believe! Your kit projects (market cart and ornaments) are amazing!! I feel your pain with lack of time. My thoughts on WIPgo and journals and the like are that they are all something else that would take up time that I could just be stitching! Have to be stingy with my time! Looking forward to your next plus tube.🎉❤

Hi Shannon! Your first video was great, and many of us like to see stitching whether it’s ironed or not. 😊 Regarding your Aida dilemma, I suggest hanging on to those projects and when your child is older you may like to grab those for traveling around to different kid activities. I enjoy all fabrics but I can only stitch on Aida in the car, and I like to bring them when I know the lighting will be poor or I just want to give my brain a break, etc. I’m subscribed and look forward to your next update. Happy stitching! -Leah Noel

Bravo! Your stitches are beautiful! And such big challenges! WOW! I have never tried aida. I just started last fall, and only have used 40 count. My girls are all grown now, but a wise friend told me to choose my battles in raising them. I think the same goes for cross stitching. Choose the paths that you enjoy.

Don't give up on your aida pieces. I've been stitching for 40 years & have stitched on pretty much all the fabrics. I still love my pieces that were done on aida even if they aren't full coverage. Pick one of your aida pieces & stitch on it in-between other projects. The end result will be worth it.

You came up in my feed, so I thought I would give you a few minutes. :-) I'd recommend WIPCO. This is my first year doing it and I've managed to stay up-to-date and have definitely put stitches in some older wip's. I don't understand when stitchers say they don't want to pressured or under stress. You choose the projects you want to work on and you choose what you want to be a goal for each. I've really enjoyed the year so far--even did an extra project when the free space was randomly chosen--and I've certainly seen progress. :-) Will be looking for your next video.
