Grace, we need to get you a crown because you are undoubtedly the queen of the Big Awesome Project - not just starting them but going all the way!

[@paisleystitcher1243]

Thanks Katie!!!

[@triciabenich]

I LOVED seeing your wips, Grace! Your progress on SDW is gorgeous already! It made me go right to Scarlet Letter to buy! I remember your Hoity Toity but not the rest of your Long Dogs, they are wonderful! I am glad I showed you mine. I think you could stitch a few clouds, skip the entire blue sky and your Hawaii piece is frameable. A fabulous video! Thank you again for hosting us and your kind words. You’re the best ⭐️💚❤️💙

Love every visit with you!! I kept saying to the screen “I’m so with you Grace, I have more wips begging me to pull them back out than I can count” my only wish is for a few more hands so I could see them all done faster. Very excited that you are going to continue your flosstuber for a day - you did an excellent job and it was soo wonderful to meet Tricia and Karen. I gushed all over that video on my last flosstube.

Another wonderful FT! I am always in awe of your choices of charts and your stitching! As my heritage is German, I am especially interested in German samplers and especially the meaning of the motifs! Keep up the great work & enjoy each & every stitch!

[@paisleystitcher1243]

Thank you Kathy!!!

[@elizabethcorsini5499]

Very enjoyable Flosstube, Grace! You have so many gorgeous projects underway. I am particularly smitten with your Long Dog Pandemic, I love your gorgeous color choices, as well as your SOHRH, the two over two on 36 ct make the colors really pop, and also with your Long Dog Descending Order. I also really like your oldest WIP of Waikiki Beach, and I could see you finishing that by stitching two lengths of thread each time you stitch. There is so much done on that one! Thanks for sharing your stitching. Your speaking voice and cadence are perfect.

[@paisleystitcher1243]

Elizabeth!!! Wow! Thank you so much!!!

[@kbhstitches]

The number of times I have said, “oh my god!” Every time you unfolded the fabric!!!! Your Pandamic is the farthest progress I have ever seen! By the bay - over one!!! The French one - I might need to buy! Holy cats what an absolute treasure of beautiful things! I love how you love the history of things. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@paisleystitcher1243]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@CozyAcres5316]

Idea for your 'Oldest' WIP, finish it like it is. A pillow or frame, it is your history. My oldest piece is a stamped sampler. I was 6, 59 years ago. It is in a frame, the ragged edges showing. It is my very simple, very treasured beginning. I enjoyed your flosstube today.

[@paisleystitcher1243]

Thank you so much! You are right, it is my history and deserves being displayed.

Oh my, love this video. I love a red house too and you might have missed seeing the Red House Sampler by Brenda Keyes. I’m happily stitching it to commemorate my 50th wedding anniversary. It was supposed to be finished for our 51st this upcoming May, but like you said, I love this pattern. Why am I not stitching it? 😀 Your Pandemic project though. Oh Wow, just oh Wow! The fabric and thread combination is perfection. It looks soooo good. I’m so glad I found your floss tube. Thank you for going to the time and trouble of making videos for us.

Congratulations on your three (!) finishes. You also have some amazing--and massive--WIPs. Can't wait to watch them take shape. It's impressive that you actually get those big mamas finished so quickly. (Just a quick note about Grete. Since it's German in origin, I *think* it would pronounced more like Greta (or closer to gray-tuh).) Looking forward to the next "Flosstuber for a Day". The first one was a blast. Take care!

Hi Judy!!!! Thank you! I miss seeing you, too! I’ll PM you in IG.

[@starkravenwild791]

The Jane Hopkins is amazing. I do quilting but appreciate all the time and effort it takes to get from start to finish. Few floss tubers include/share the cost of these. Could you estimate in the future perhaps? I assume it's on par with a good quality quilt kit, depending on materials, and availability. Maybe its for safety reasons many don't share.... don't ask, don't tell..🤣 Who needs to know the budget was blown again...

[@paisleystitcher1243]

This is probably true for quilting, too. It depends on the linen, cotton or silk thread and the pattern. It can easily be $100-$200, more if you are using a larger piece of linen and more silk threads.

[@loriulloa8325]

So many beautiful wips, I have started several of them too!

[@rebeccajourney3183]

A suggestion: wet Waikiki and only dip the top half in a shallow tray. Hang upside down to drip dry, then iron. I never do a background if I can dye it... You could test strips of leftover scraps and play with blues and perhapsome some orange and yellow in different applications. Again, try test strips first or apply dye with an eye dropper.

[@paisleystitcher1243]

Thank you! I just may try that!

[@janehouston6822]
