Loved this video. No gimmicks, no giveaways, no haul, just straightforwad conversation...Thank you thank you thank you. Your stitching was lovely. Hope to see you again and again. 🙂

[@patburton837]

I feel the same way. I usually speed it up to get to the WIPs. I will be watching your Floss tube videos more. Thanks.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You got what Im trying to do. Nothing wrong with the gimmicks for those who like them but you won’t see them on my channel. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch. 🩷

[@melbaburwell6264]

I guess I’m not the only one ☺️

[@ritaleveille4051]

You are a breath of fresh air in the flosstube world! Thank you so much and congratulations!

[@celineboers5589]

I'm so impressed with the personalization you were able to add to your "Consider the Lilies" sampler. As someone who does not veer off the pattern, even if I have some ideas, that was an inspiration! Finally, as a Chicago girl, I am feeling the urge for a day trip to Wisconsin to browse for flosses and fabric in person. Looking forward to future episodes!

[@desireepheister2633]

Oh wow. Probably one of the very best Flosstubes I have ever seen. It isn't about haul or technique or anything else but just about comfort. It's about the joy of what we do. It's about the beauty and the color and the texture and the peace. It's about what we surround ourselves with as we create and make our world a little more lovely. Oh thank you. Please don't feel as though you must show extensive progress on something each time you film, just be here. And the poem at the end brought tears to my eyes.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

🩷🩷🩷 Thank you for “getting” exactly what I was aiming for. I’m so glad it resonated with you. I really appreciate your very kind comments.

[@AllyBelser13]

Best first flosstube I’ve seen. Your comforting, conversational delivery was enjoyable. Your stitching is beautiful. I’m looking forward to your next video ❤

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really do appreciate it!

[@debbiewhite9475]

Your version of “Consider The Lilies” is absolutely beautiful!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you! I loved creating it. 🩷

[@AftonGroveKnitter]

I’ve truly enjoyed your FLOSSTUBE. Your voice is so soothing and calm.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@Griffinand3]

Thanks to Brenda and Laura, I was introduced to you today! Love, love, love your video and how comforting it is! Please stick to your style! Love it! You should be designing patterns for the rest of us!

[@susanspratling]

I was so nice to find your video it was a pleasure to watch while stitching.

[@corlissvargo1341]

Your changes to the design “Consider the Lilies” is absolutely beautiful. You are an amazing stitcher and designer in your own right. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and love your flosstube and look forward to seeing more from you.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much! 🩷

I’m sure I’m not the only one who is grateful for the KZbin algorithm that sent your video my way. Congratulations on your first video, I can assure you it will be watched more than once!

I saved it immediately lol

I'm enjoying your calm voice. Thank you for your life story.,omg that's beautiful and so much stitching. I love your grandma and grandpa

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

😊 Thank you so much for spending your time with me!

[@kathyhaydysch9875]

Oh my goodness you have found your niche and how lucky for us. LOVED your flosstube and your samplers are absolutely beautiful. your ability to change them to reflect on your life is a gift. Please keep them coming.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much!

[@rhondasnow5173]

What a perfect Flosstube name and first video! I thoroughly enjoyed everything about it. I stitched Floral Motif Sampler in 2023 as my Journey piece for the sampler guild I'm in. Every motif was a joy for me to stitch. I used the DMC floss conversion on 32 count Prairie Grass. I absolutely love it! I hope you enjoy stitching it as much as I did. Looking forward to your next video!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much!

[@margaretyoder3007]

I am here after Karen Combs mentioned your new flosstube! Your finishes and current WIPs and plans are gorgeous! Don't worry about forcing content Jackie! Many of us are just fine having you check in with whatever you feel like sharing. When I have treasured time to stitch, I either listen to a book or watch floss tube.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Oh thank you! I really appreciate your kind words!

[@VickiPLetcher]

What a GENTLE, EXQUISITELY COLORFUL offering you have poured out to us. Lovely and REFRESHING NEWNESS that felt SO INSPIRING. Your hooked Maggie Lou rug was beautiful eye candy as well. Monogamous yes. Please share more as you can.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind comments. It means a lot to me that people are being inspired by it. I’m quite blown away by the response! The Maggie Lou rug was a tribute to my first “sweet girl,” I’ve since had another that I need to make a tribute to, as well. Thank you, again. 🩷

[@teenaarmstrong3555]

OMG, Go big or go home is the saying that comes to mind. So many lovely pieces, your stitching is beautiful. Your flosstube felt like I was transported to your living room visiting with a friend all the way from Tasmania, Australia, thoroughly enjoyable and looking forward to watching the next. Thankyou

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Gosh, thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! 🩷

[@kentuckywomanstitcher2174]

I enjoyed your video very much. You have such a calm soothing voice. You have some gorgeous finishes! I look forward to seeing them framed. The Gigi R design is beautiful. I probably would never choose that design based on the cover photo. Thank goodness we have stitchers who post their work so we can get a better representation of a project. Looking forward to seeing your next video.

[@sbwgigstitcher]

Wow! This is probably one of the biggest splashes into Flosstube I've ever seen. 😃 Nearly 800 comments and over 3,000 subscribers in one day on the first flosstube!! Welcome! Beautiful stitching. I also enjoy the calmness without the bells and whistles. I'll be watching for your next video. Thank you!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@ScrapBee]

Welcome to the flosstube community Jackie! What a wonderful first video. Very inspirational with beautiful work!! Looking forward to #2!!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for spending time with me!

[@brendabrown8474]

I am totally blown away by your Consider the Lillies Sampler. I have been a rule follower and stitch projects as they are created. I even have trouble changing colors. Your beautiful artistic spirit has encouraged me to begin looking at charts as personal expressions of me and my life and memories. Your sampler is stunning and as a gal at home in the Flint Hills of Kansas I appreciate the animals and flowers you added. You are so easy to watch and I look forward to your future Flosstubes.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Wonderful! 😊

[@marilynsr53]

Jackie- Hi!! Thank you so very much for the beautiful meditation!! Perfect! I really need this and will revisit very often. You’re a beautiful person and this really means so much that you would take time to share this. Your voice is so comforting and calming. I feel like I finally have a very meaningful way of dealing with life’s everyday stresses. I’m 71, work full-time in a busy city and an hour commute twice a day. Bless you and thank you, Jackie. 🙏 ❤

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Blessings to you. 💜

[@jendickson2201]

Your lilies is breathtaking. I’ll just bet you’ll be designing in no time. Your floss tube ( without giveaways or haul) is so refreshing . Thank you for being so brave and sharing your stitching journey.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! 🩷

[@mmickie6794]

I too seem to be most comfortable sticking to one project at a time. The content of your first flosstube was super interesting . Come back and talk with us again ! I liked seeing different , not as popular, samplers .

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@ChiaraOsborne]

Thank you for sharing all the red samplers. I sat and worked on my Antique Rooster Sampler from JBW. I am beginning to realize samplers are my comfort stitching.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Wonderful! 🩷

[@lanachristiansen2825]

You have taken a beautiful pattern and given it life. Your families life, absolutely wonderful ! What a blessing .

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Jackie, your first video is beautifully crafted as is your stitching. I am so proud of your debut, I could just pop. Your love of stitching shines brightly through your beautiful soul. I am so looking forward to many more, my dear friend.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much, Sarah! That really means a lot coming from you. 🩷🧡🩷

[@jan3451]

Just wonderful! I’m also a monogamous stitcher about 98% of the time and when working on a piece never tire of it until I’ve reached completion. My brain curdles when I think of needleworkers who have dozens and dozens of projects in their WIP baskets. I don’t mean that in a critical way though, we all have method in our madness where needle, floss, and fabric is concerned! I look forward to your progress as you work through the beautiful (and very large!) projects you have started.❤

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! All those WIPS that people have give me anxiety. The few that I have give me anxiety! I’m glad to know I’m not alone.

[@Jeanettelee1973]

Yes!!!! A monogamous stitcher!!! I only have two going at a time… many on my want to stitch list…. Please keep posting…. We need more flosstube from monogamous stitchers!!! I love to hear your deep dives about colors and selections… it may be the art teacher in me… enjoyed it!!!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words! Monogamous stitchers unite! 😉💛

[@noracaylor4650]

I’m so glad to catch you in your beginning YT journey! I too stitched in the eighties/nineties and I do know what a WIP is but I have a lot to catch up on and learn! I live in the Midwest, I’m a paper artist and just working on gathering my supplies and get to stitching. I have dozens and dozens of vintage Demenions charts to stitch!

[@carolmott3407]

Your video is a breath of fresh air. Its nice to see none of the “stuff” other videos are full of any more where more than half is give aways and filler. Very little stitching. Looking forward to your next one. Your Lilies sampler is absolutely stunning.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@sewmesarah]

So glad you have jumped into Flosstube Jackie. The community at large needs to see your beautiful work. I feel so privileged to have had an another chance to see your Consider The Lilies. It blew us away when you shared it on the Across the Pond Zoom and I’m quite sure it will have the same effect here. You needn’t worry about being monogamous and not having so much to share. I honestly don’t think you will have a problem sharing with us and I could honestly listen to your beautiful, voice all day. Thanks so much for joining us!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Oh, Sarah….thank you so, so much! 🩷 I am honestly blown away by the amazing reception the video has gotten. I just made the kind of video I wanted to see. I’ll keep doing that. I really appreciate your encouragement and support.

[@joannmiller6852]

Found you on my feed last night and am happy to have found a kindred stitchy spirit. Thank you for sharing your art and am looking forward to more flosstubes as you have time and projects to share. ❤

[@patsyowens7365]

Wow, on your consider the lillies what an awesome sampler! I am very drawn to all your changes. I love Bison and your people. Your stitching is very beautiful and thank you for sharing.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you!

[@leslierogan9637]

Wow, your version of Consider the Lilies is amazing! I have been cross stitching for over 30 years but I have only recently found out about Floss Tube. I routinely change out colors and types of thread and I did not know that a lot of people do this! Ha! Thank you for sharing your perspective on color selections, fabric selections and design considerations, it is very thoughtful and I enjoy hearing it. Hope to hear more from you in the future!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@wandamccoll3739]

What a beautiful intro and such a perfect way to describe our hobby! I so enjoyed your video, Jackie and look forward to many more. Thanks so much and happy stitching!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank YOU so much! 😊

[@dianelorenzi3083]

Jackie, thank you so much for venturing into the flosstube arena! What a lovely surprise it was to come across you this evening. What a wonderful introductory video. Like you, I am in my 60s (turning 67 this summer), and started stitching in the '80s and stitched a bit into the '90s, then got away from it. Also like you, I have recently returned to cross stitching and been pleasantly overwhelmed by all the amazing changes. I consider my stitching to have a meditative quality that refreshes and renews me.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Welcome and thank you for watching! We are kindred spirits for sure. I stitch for the same benefits you mentioned-meditation, refreshment, and renewal. The side benefit is that I’m making something beautiful.

[@nancyharbath3575]

Loved your video…you are so interesting listening about your background…your an amazing stitcher

[@patriciadouglass7141]

Great 1st video! Your eye for color in choosing your fabric and floss is amazing! Love all that you are creating and I so look forward to watching future floss tubes! Thank you for such an informative and exciting podcast. Happy Stitching!

[@BarbaraS1966]

Ah! What a wonderful, inspiring first flosstube and I hope you come back real soon. I am a monogamous stitcher as well. Did you design and hook Maggie Lou on your sofa? Please tell us about that cute rug! Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you for watching and for your kind comments! Yes, I designed and hooked the Maggie Lou rug on the couch behind me. She was an Airedale and my best girl for 13 years.

[@shellhanson2747]

Loved mary engelbreit. Calenders magazines cups etc. i still have her stuff

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

She’s an amazing person! I loved working with her.

[@juliaomcs]

Love Mary E also, I still hoard her Magazines, still fresh every time I reread them.

[@poppies1215]

Loved Mary’s work as well. I have quite a few of her cards as memorabilia. The little girl with the glasses and her hands on her hips stole my heart. Love your first video that is chock full of comfortable conversation. Thank you for filming it.

[@aadams8383]

I still have some of her fabric in my quilting stash. made a project bag out of one.

[@lorielle1395]

So enjoyed your video! Your Consider the Lilies is phenomenal….loved all of the personalization including the pheasant, the little red dog buffalo calf, and multiple other surprises…! ❤❤❤ Thank you!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much! The pheasant and red dog were some of my favorites! 😊

[@caroltown3162]

Thank you for a lovely first floss tube. I just very recently began my cross stitch journey. I create handmade soft sculpture and do punch needle. I have been thinking about cross stitch for quite some time so just decided to dive in. Your pieces were so pretty and I was amazed at your first project!❤ Looking forward to catching up with your second video. I also loved your poem at the end.

[@julieagar4483]

Your consider the Lillie’s is gorgeous. It is personal to you and your family, a beautiful tribute to your Grandparents.❤❤

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much!

thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work! so inspiring!

[@annemousseau8757]

Thank you for the wonderful flisstune.

[@robynorchard2194]

Oh my goodness! Listening to you was such a memory trip. I grew up in the Kansas City area ( Raytown). But places you named I’m so familiar with. I know that Liberty store and Hallmark to name two. Loved your video

[@judyyunt2758]

I so enjoyed you video! It was comforting to listen to your stitching! Keep up the good work! ❤

[@ramonawalter5555]

I really enjoyed your flosstube and your stitching,. Your Consider the Lillies is a beautiful work of art. Just stunning.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much!

[@ClemBarkerStitches]

Hello from England. Yours was easily the best Flosstube I have ever seen. I truly feel I have spent an hour in the company of a friend! I so enjoyed listening to you, your stitching is beautiful and I loved hearing what inspired you to make the choices you did. Thank you so much for sharing, I’m looking forward to your future content.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Wow, thank you!

[@karenjones256]

I so enjoyed your Flosstube! I, too, have always been a monogamous stitcher, so I think I will enjoy your channel. And, I stitch for comfort/relaxation. Plus, I’ve always been a huge Mary Engelbreit fan, it’s so interesting that you worked with her! You have a big advantage being an artist and I hope to learn a lot from you about how you adapt charts to make them your own. Welcome!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much! 💚

[@lisagrunwald3830]

Thank you for being you and sharing your wisdom. I thank you for the meditation. I loved it! Lisa

[@laviniatouchton]

Jackie, I just watched this today and so enjoyed it. Your on-camera style is lovely and approachable, and your stitching is gorgeous; your "Lilies" is really fabulous, and I love the thoughtful changes you made. Thank you for sharing your journey with us - I look forward to watching more!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

You are so welcome! Thank YOU! 🩷

[@OKeefeFamily-jf9tg]

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much!

[@janicejerolymack5831]

Love this flosstube! As soon as you said stitching is a form of meditation, you had my attention. I am a yogi and a stitcher. Your projects are beautiful.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much! 🩷🙏🏻

[@charlenenewbolt164]

I,too, am a monogamous stitcher! There aren’t many of us out there but it works best for me. Now, I have lots of haul so I will never be without that one piece to stitch on! Really enjoyed your video - keep doing what you are doing. Very refreshing.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@estelat8133]

Lovely video. So much of flosstube seems to be focused on buying and buying things, starting many projects that then get left aside. This was a nice change of tone - really enjoyed a video solely about your wonderful projects and this craft we love! I too am a mostly monogamous stitcher, with only a few special projects at a time. Your conversion of Consider the Lilies is a work of art♥

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@jerananelms1760]

I loved your flosstube. Your voice is so soothing and your manner is calming. Of course your stitching is beautiful.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@bonitagillenwater8787]

The algorithm snagged me too. Perfect format - you are an eloquent speaker and very motivating to try stitching again. I just don't know how to start a sampler - to keep from getting lost.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you for your kind comments! You start a sampler like anything other stitching project. Some find the middle and begin there. Others start in a corner and work outward. There are lots of beginner stitching videos available on KZbin that can help get you going again. I do hope you will! 😊

[@janet_idleknot]

Fabulous first video! Thank you for sharing. Your “Consider the Lilies” is absolutely beautiful. I like to stitch reproductions so I don’t stray from the chart. I’ll enjoy watching the paths you take. I look forward to watching more of your videos and I appreciate your thoughtful approach to content.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@BrightStitcher]

Fantastic video! And hello neighbor, I’m also in a small town just outside KC! I look forward to seeing more from you in the future!

[@jodyhodag]

Loved your flosstube - you are very relaxing to listen to❤

[@MaryAnnArnold]

I liked your first flosstube so much that I just watched the second one! Your colors in "Consider the Lilies" called out to me, along with your bison, birds and family. I have been stitching since the mid-80s, but until recently did not attempt any large projects because they were intimidating. I may have to add Lilies to my list. Maybe "Antoinette" too. Looking forward to flosstube #3.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thanks for watching and for your kind words! Stitch whatever calls to you, regardless of the size of the project. ☺️

[@lisamunchausen7158]

Consider the Lily’s was quite a piece to start with. I love your adaptation and additions. It is beautiful!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@cherylcarlile7103]

I love the changes you made to the sampler! And really enjoyed your video!❤

[@cathyj55]

I really enjoyed your floss tube! Your artist point of view is refreshing! I’ve been absent from Floss tube for months so glad this came up on my feed.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much!

[@lindadaley7469]

I am so glad that your video showed up in my feeds! I really enjoyed this video. Your stitching is beautiful! This is one of the best videos I've watched in a long, long time! Your way is so comforting and soothing and you have such a lovely voice. I am so looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words! 🧡

[@athenabesa380]

Welcome! You resonated with me. I pick projects because it reminds me of something that was comforting to me. I wish I was monogamous but I must be one of those that gets bored after a while. When I was younger, during the summer I would power through my boredom because my mom had projects she wanted done by the time summer was over. Take care.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thanks for sharing and for watching! 🧡

[@bethanyjohnson5598]

New subscriber. Gorgeous Consider the Lillies!!

[@LorraineSmith-pz7eg]

Loved your Maiden Floss tube, so looking forward to seeing what you’ll be sharing in the future.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thanks so much!

[@susanleone8986]

I am in total agreement with all the other commenters...so refreshing and encouraging ... for a few weeks now I've been disinterested in my stitching. Listening to you speak made me realize that I am basically a monogamous stitcher. I like to take my stitching slow and easy and enjoy the process. But I also like the feeling of accomplishment in a finished project. You reinforced to me that that is totally ok! Thanks for sharing yourself and your beautiful stitches with us!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing. ☺️

[@FrostyXStitch]

Hello Jackie, finally also got round to watch your first Flosstube. I really enjoyed this different approach to the video, thank you so much for sharing. Hope to see you again on the Zoom "Stitch & Chat across the pond". Happy stitching 🪡🧵🥰

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you! I always look forward to our zoom group! 🩷

[@roseboss5899]

Wow! What a beautiful video. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. I too am a new cross stitcher, just started on January 1st 2024. I LOVE birds, so I’m always on the lookout for charts featuring them. I’m really enjoying learning from all the different styles of Floss Tube. Living in Australia, we have very limited choice and few stitch-specific stores, so it’s all online shopping for us. Love your work….40 count! I’m only a 25 count linen stitcher x

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching. If you love anything with birds you need to watch Contented Needleworker Kim’s FlossTube. She must have nearly every bird chart there is!

[@Tricia123B]

What a lovely 1st podcast. So much of what you have said resonates with me. I too was blown away by when stumbled on Flosstube few short month ago which sparked Cross stitch back into my life after a 30 yr hiatus. I am a maker of all sorts and like to keep hands busy. My 1st project upon my return was the Hand Wash Only cross stitch from whimsical world of Thomas Joseph which I will sew into a project bag. Now I am working on Christmas Advent Calendar from UlyssesBlueStitching where I have changed colors to be more suitable to my living room and will be a wall design Thanks for sharing

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Welcome back to cross stitch! Thanks so much for sharing what you’re working on. 😊

[@sharonwhite5274]

Love this. She’s so good to listen to. 😊

[@allisonkubiseski3464]

Welcome to Flosstube. Yes! Stitching itself is comfort! I love your philosophy on stitching with meaning and hearing all about your thoughts and journey to creating your work. Sharing your thought process from an artist’s view will be a form of education for the rest of us. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!

[@lesliechain7703]

What a happy surprise to see a video aimed at monogamous stitching. I just loved it! I only wish you were making videos while stitching Lillies.🧡💜💚

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much!

[@Mary-mj4tr]

Thank you for the video. I loved it and your thoughts on color. I had an apartment in an old building and still miss it so seeing your wall gave me comfort with fond memories. I live very rural Missouri so now have beautiful nature and not old brick buildings.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@Mrsrgiron]

Thanks for sharing your video I love it. I’m a beginner myself so I kind of learning as I stitch. I’m starting the Celtic winters lady and I hope I can finished by December.

[@aprilskyuk]

Hello, youtube algorithm's brought me here today and i am definitely coming back for more. I cannot believe this is your first video. Your version of consider lilies is stunning. Best of luck with your channel and stitching 🌷

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much!

[@andraskewes5804]

Loved this video - like you, I cross stitched in the 80's and 90's but stopped and have picked it back up in my close to retirement age as well. Love the colors you use. They are beautiful. Subscribed! Looking forward to more.😉

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thanks for sharing and for your kind words! 🩷

[@angsews]

Love your personalization of Consider the Lillies - just beautiful. I also worked for that greeting card company years ago, but in IT so I’m guessing our paths didn’t cross! (And have a house full of Mary prints and treasures) I’m looking forward to seeing your stitching again.

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thank you so much!

Welcome and thank you for finding our world❤ I loved your first episode. Your artistic background and having worked with Mary Engelbreit, which I loved, was a nice insight into your colourful world. I can’t wait for you to share more of you, with us. So glad you have joined floss tube!

Ok the GiGi R chart is now in my wish list on 123 Stitch!! Can’t wait to watch your progress on that one. And Consider the Lillies knocked my socks off, absolutely loved that one too. Loved your video, will definitely hit the subscribe button to watch again!

Wonderful! I’m happy to be an enabler for something so beautiful! 🤗

You have been recommended by so many FlossTubers and The Bougie Stitchers mentioned you in their latest video so I decided to watch you. I learned to stitch in the early 80’s and stitched Dale Burdett with her geese and bears. I also stitched Precious Moments, Gloria and Pat as well as Alma Lynn. I even stitched a Mary Englebreit pattern. I love her art. I used to be a monogamous stitcher the first time around but when I came back to stitching after 20 plus years I had changed. I have a lot of WIPS but I usually stitch on three at one time. I find that I get bored after a while. The pieces you have stitched are gorgeous. You do remind me of Sarah on Sarah’s Stitchy Spot in the choice of patterns you stitch. I love watching her too. I have subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to your next video.

Hi Jackie! was great to meet you today at the stitching across the pond zoom gathering. I watched your FT and was totally enabled to get, "Clémence Jauneau 1889" especially after showing it to my hubby who loved it and encouraged me to go for it. So I ordered the silks and fabric from @coloradocrossstitcher Sheri. I’ll be able to start it mid week because her shipping is so fast. Your projects are amazing. Thank you for sharing in your Flosstube. I look forward to more episodes 😊

[@ComfortStitchingJackie]

Thanks so much, Betsy! I enjoyed meeting you, too. I know you’ll love stitching Clémence Jauneau. And she will be spectacular in silk! 🌸

[@karenerickson884]

Wow!!! What an amazing video. Totally enjoyed the content, how you connect to your stitching pieces as well as your future pieces. I too love redwork but have not yet cross stitched any however I have embroidered 2 quilt tops in redwork, one is Christmas and the other is a very vintage piece in song birds. They take many, many hrs to years to complete. Love the idea of comfort stitching as for me it’s my stress reducer and brings calmness.

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! ❤️

[@terrifallwell8484]

Thank you Jackie. I have been a monogamous stitcher for 45 years. I stitch purely for the comfort, the peace, the sense of accomplishment, and the love of gifting to others as well as for myself. Really enjoyed your first episode from my stitchy chair in southeast Iowa. ❤
