I vote for tassels or tinsel. I prefer tassels. Looks great. 🐼

[@leopardandlacecoxoxo]

You popped up in my for you feed today. And I am so thankful I enjoyed all of your projects. I love Brenda Gervais as well. Thank you for sharing all your progress ❤ you have so many finishes and you did a great job

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Thank you for watching and welcome! I am glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Lobirdie58]

Hi. Love your stitching. My choice for the pillow trim would be the first one - red tinsel.

[@peggymahlik1693]

Tinsel YES!! LOVE IT!!!

[@anitatrippi7072]

I would vote for the red tinsel or corner tassels!

[@cindyrinehart3486]

I love watching your Floss Tube videos and just subscribed! We have so much in common with crafting! I am a paper crafter, mainly card maker plus a little scrapbooking. I also crochet and stitch with felt(Nichol Spohr is such an enabler!! 😂). I cross stitched years ago when my children were younger and now I’m addicted once again!! Nichol is the one who got me hooked again! You and I stitch a lot of the same designs! I enjoy seeing your progress and your haul!! Happy Stitching!!! 😊🪡

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Nichol is a total enabler! For all the crafts!!! I have been feeling like I need to pick up crochet again, but haven't quite brought myself to do it yet. lol.

I did the wheel for my larger projects. Put 8-10 in, once with 3 after the name and once with 5. The number indicates the #of days attention the project gets. I do 2 spins on the 1st of the month. If I finish a project during it's alloted time I "win" a new start from a group of smalls that I have all kitted up. Great motivation.

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

I really like the idea of the wheel app. I am going to have to spend some time on that before the end of the year. I'm making my plan! lol. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@bethflorentino3169]

Tassels ❤ great finishing, love all your smalls and the 2024 charms ! I am also finishing a large number of stitching and always wait too long 😩

[@pathansen4368]

All your pillows are awesome. The Christmas Quaker I would use red tinsel. The small pillows I would leave plain. Your gingerbread pillow is going to be beautiful, I love anything gingerbread. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@patbrown4435]

I know what you mean about trying to match the chenille/pom poms/etc. to a project. I try to think ahead and pick a floss color that matches the trim. Thank you for another wonderful video. I love seeing your work!

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

I am usually much better at thinking ahead! I think I thought I had a finishing kit for this one, but maybe I don't. It wasn't in the project bag, so who knows? Happy Thanksgiving!

[@pennyreynolds7277]

Good morning! Wow a lot this video!! I got my dip n stitch box this weekend! So exciting! I immediately kitted up (fabric) the cup of cheer! I am waiting on my cocoa quaker, should arrive in the next day or 2. No trim on patriotic. Tinsel on Christmas Quaker. I have FFO over 40 smalls this year!!! My goal was 20 FFO and 24 starts… did both! For 2025, I want to focus on my large pieces. I will still do some smalls. I have about 10 larger pieces, and a couple kitted up, so I am thinking choose 5-6 a month to stitch on. This year every, project got at least 2 hours attention every month. So by cutting in half, I can give more attention to the chosen projects. And filter in a couple smalls. For my floss, I have a master set of all that I pull from to kit. DMC is stored on the atom heart bobbins that are also floss drops. Unless a large project, I don’t need a full skein for a small. So I take 3-4 stands off the floss drop/bobbin for the small. When bobbin empty I know to replace. The set of Dmc is stored in a bisley box. I have an overage section but it’s a plastic bag in a photo box. The fancy floss is stored on the atom heart floss drops with labels from Etsy on them. Same rule as Dmc as far as pulling from master set. I have quite a few cottage garden floss and they are stored same way but on the heart shaped floss drops. They are on rings like yours, but on the cable tie ones with the twist seal so they are more secure. If you want photos of this to see what I am talking about, let me know! Have a happy thanksgiving!!

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

You got a lot done! I will be going through my larger projects and making a list of what I want to focus on first. I feel good about my progress on my smalls, I think 2025, should have some focus on the larger projects. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@missybailey5721]

Love your Thanksgiving finishes. I love the red tinsel for the Quaker . If I don’t put trim on a pillow I use the bulb pins with a small button and the 2024 charm. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@cloudynookstitches]

I love all your pillows. One of my goals is to make a small pillow to represent each month. I like the red pom pom trim. I also have year charms to pin on my pillows. I enjoy watching your videos. ⛅️ Laurie

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! Thank you for watching!

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Happy Thanksgiving! I like the tinsel 🤗

[@dianehendricks9125]

I have my floss on those hanging rings too. I hang them in my craft room closet

[@bonniescheffer3154]

Another great floss too I finally got caught, up, took me all day and of course love everything your Stitch have a happy Thanksgiving

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

I am so glad you caught up! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

[@dianehendricks9125]

I like the red tinsel. I want some for mine.

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Lady Dot Creates! She has red, green, gold, silver, and black. Not sure about orange, but it is a possibility. I feel like I've seen it before, which would be perfect for fall/Halloween finishes.

[@devrakline4967]

Love your finishes! So many cute pillows. Love the tinsel for that Quaker pillow. Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving!

[@elizabethconley9956]

Now I need to stitch all the snowman pillows! Yours are awesome. The red tinsel on your quaker pillow looked really good. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Snowman pillows were fun! If I had to do it all over again, I'd pick a more tan/brown neutral fabric. But I am happy with how they turned out. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Sneezy1956]

I have my floss sorted like you do. But it's hanging in my spare bedroom closet on hangers. I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving. Oops wanted to till you I loved all your stitching

[@bonniemitchell8633]

I’d say no trim on the Quaker pillow

[@ninanguyen0726]

Happy thanksgiving!! LOVE your finishes, those winter pillows are too cute. I like the patriotic pillows without the trimmings unless you find a similar blue - I like matchy matchy things 😊. For the Quaker, what about a white trimmings, since it already has a red fabric on the back, and also when you said that the red was hard to match I thought about making your own cording will a matching DMC floss. Too many options, I’m sure whatever you decide, it will be lovely ❤.

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

I need to get one of those cording things....that makes the cording. I forget about cording, that would be a good option too. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@quiltnanny2011]

Thanks for sharing how you store your floss. I have considered doing something similar to what you do but have thought about doing pip and chip but man they are expensive

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

I really like the pip and chip, and don't mind the money (organizing is a hobby too, lol) but for me, it was where do I store those pip and chip boxes? I don't have a ton of space.

[@kathymontoya4142]

Howdy doo....Happy Thanksgiving! Great to see you have been using your fabric stash. For the Patriotic pillows, I think leaving off the trim. They are primitive looking so plain is my choice. I love those 2 Tday pillows... Congrats for getting them done by Tday! As far as the Christmas Quaker, the tinsel or plain is my choices. How is your son? How is Hunter? Have an awesome Tday! Looking forward to your next video.

[@kathymontoya4142]

I use the plastic baggies to store to my floss. I have mostly DMC. It has been working for me.

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Happy Thanksgiving! My son is doing well, he got a job to make money while he studies for the entrance exam to the police academy. He got himself a car as well, so we are slowly getting back to our new normal. I think the Hunter you are referring to is the dog, Gunner??? lol. He is fine. We have regressed a little with some of his jumping, but I am hoping with the time off that I have through the end of the year, that I will be able to give him a little more attention and get him back on track. He is such a sweet boy, just has a lot to say. all.the.time. :)

[@loidaruiz7112]

No trim for the little ones. Definitely red tinsel for the quacker

[@lisasharbono7181]

I love your pillows! I think the red tinsel works with the Quaker. Happy thanksgiving! Enjoy your time with family! On celebrate harvest, did you use the called for floss for their faces? I’m not liking how it looks and debating changing it. Yours doesn’t look as peachy as mine does …. Thanks for sharing your floss storage. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do differently and have been starting to sort mine on rings alphabetically too. I like the scarf hanger! I have my dmc in floss away bags by number in baskets from target. I recently had uv protective film put on my craft room windows. Might be something to consider…. I was lucky to win $500 towards having it done. I also did a window where I hang quilts.

[@lisasharbono7181]

I love your pillows! I think the red tinsel works with the Quaker. I like your floss storage. Thanks for sharing. For me, it’s about ease of finding what you are looking for which has been hard for me y til I went alphabetical. Happy thanksgiving! Enjoy your time with family! On celebrate harvest, did you use the called for floss for their faces? I’m not liking how it looks and debating changing it. Yours doesn’t look as peachy as mine does …. My sons dog ate my November weigh in chart so I won’t be finishing that one for a while. I’m going to email a picture to swth and see if they will send me the pdf

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Happy Thanksgiving! I think I used all the called for on Celebrate Harvest. Isn't it weird how the dye lots can vary so much? I don't recall what it was, and I put the chart away. But maybe try DMC 754? I'm guessing at the color.....lol.....It could already be 754, or 754 could be a completely different color altogether and I don't know what I'm talking about! :) Gotta love the animals and the bite marks or destroyed charts. I finished November Weigh-In, it is cute.

[@betsywise4948]

I’d go with no trim so u have different looks.

[@betsywise4948]

Red tinsel….that makes it WOW

[@katanderson6408]

I vote no trim on the Quaker pillow. I think the trim takes away from the quaker, and puts too much attention on the trim. I like it best in it's simple pure form. Looks perfect just the way it is.

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Thank you! :) I see your point, about the tinsel. We'll see where I land. I keep going back and forth. You make a very good point. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@maggiewatte7911]

No trim

[@annkimble6700]

I like the red tinsel! Where did you get it?

[@Bluebirdpaperandthread]

Lady Dot Creates on Etsy. She has a lot of trims.
