Flosstube #11- Bee Season

[@madebydonnaq]

I'm so glad that you cross stitch with your students. We so need to get their creative minds going. I appreciate you as a teacher and a crafter stitcher quilter.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@loriirons9503]

I absolutely love all the cross stitch as an avid stitcher for over 45 years but the quilt for your daughter stole the show! What fabulous memories sewn into it and what a treasure it will be for her for the rest of her life! I want to do the same thing for my 5 grandchildren now! Thank you for a wonderful episode! ❤

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much! 😊 Enjoy quilting for your grandchildren, the process was so rewarding on this quilt. ❤️

[@ginacates6110]

Your daughter's quilt is beautiful & the special memories sewn into are amazing! I'm sure she will treasure it forever. Love seeing what your stitching & about your Stitching Club! I'm sure the boy that wants your Channel to grow will be excited in September when he sees you, I'm sure you will meet his goal for you! Have a fun summer!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much!😊

[@cindyrichards6019]

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful. What an awesome gift for your daughter. Thank you so much for a great video. Love your Finishes and WIPs.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@debmyers1648]

Your daughter's quilt is a treasure! I loved the stories about your students taking a knee when you got injured and about the 6th grader that takes an interest in your channel. They touched this retired teacher's heart. Enjoy your summer! I hope you get lots of stitching between your jobs. 😄❤

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you, and thank you so much for listening to my stories. Enjoy your retirement, I look forward to it…someday. 😉

[@paulamcmellon6171]

Your daughter’s quilt is beautiful and I love the sentiment it holds. 💜💜

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much. 😊

[@MoneikQuilts]

I'm so glad I happened by today to listen. It's so exciting to hear about the love your students have for crafts. My daughter loves her craft club at school. She learned to knit, crochet, and show others how to sew. Middle school is such a difficult age, so it's fun to hear of their enthusiasm.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much for stopping to watch. I love that your daughter has learned how to do all of those things at school. Middle school is hard, but having a group of like minded peers helps a lot. ❤️

[@cathyberry7219]

Good afternoon I just wanted to that I totally agree with you about stitching with friends. We have a group of 6 ladies that get together every Monday afternoon to stitch. It is a wonderful time when we visit and stitch and sometimes enable each other. Have a blessed day.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much for watching. I am so glad you have a group to stitch with, it’s so wonderful and sometimes expensive. 😉

[@lindabostedt1224]

OMG your daugter's quilt is beautiful. I love the memories attached to it. Beautiful stitching, especially the BlueBird

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you! ❤️

[@Strickbirgit]

Another nice video, thank you. I love the quilt from your daughter, that’s the way I love to patchwork using all the old fabrics. Happy crafting!

[@carolfawcett1297]

I loved seeing and the story about your daughter’s quilt! What a special treasure! You have so many cute bee themed pieces, they are all so cute! Enjoy your summer off from school and try not to work too hard! I look forward to hearing more about the girls cross stitch club in the fall!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you. 😊

[@nancyrickenbrode9981]

You have a wonderful cha nel. I love all of your work and your whipper keepers are spoooo nice.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much. 😊

[@maxwellstudio19]

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you! 😊 We have one more day left of school. He was so excited when I told him at lunch yesterday the new subscriber number.

[@critterstitcher8257]

You have bee youtiful bee stitches. It's always a good time when you stitch with us at Wednesday stitch night.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you. I am looking forward to a lot of stitching this summer. ❤️

[@helend.flosstube]

I love your daughter's quilt! What a special memory! I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to stitch a piece for the smalls exchange, but if I do I'm totally keeping my eyes open for cherries! 🍒

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

You are so sweet. Now the next challenge is to find a pattern for Lilys quilt and make it. I have two years, but as you know, time flies.

[@jilllazzeri7861]

always a great time hanging out with you, so excited for summer vacation for you - hope to see you around this summer. Enjoy!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Hope to see you too! ❤️

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Thank you for the wonderful video. I loved the quilt at the end. My grandmother did something similar using leftover fabric from clothes that my mother made for me. I love it so much. It is worn in a lot of places. Thank you for sharing and enjoy your summer.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank YOU for sharing. That is a wonderful treasure from your grandmother. I am sure all the worn spots are evidence of the love you gave it. ❤️

[@maryloubenoit]

Love all your finishes! So glad your feeling better. Yeah that crud has been going around. Oooh that bluebird! All the bees! I Love Farmhouse Flossies. I am the guilty person who enabled Missy, Lol

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much for being a fabulous enabler! 😊

[@brookpurdum]

LOVE your daughter’s quilt! I’ve made Tula’s Butterfly quilt. It is a labor of love for sure. Can’t wait to see yours!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

I can’t wait either. 🤗

[@suebaldwin943]

Your daughter’s quilt reminds me of the story The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco. I loved reading that story to my class. She is my favorite children’s author.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

I will definitely read that. I’m always looking for a good book to share. Thank you so much. 😊

[@tamimorgan1487]

Hello! So nice to watch your flosstube! So happy for your students! They are blessed to have you as a teacher! I know what you mean!- so many projects to stitch and which one to start? 😝 Thank you for sharing! Happy stitching!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@barbaraburdett9594]

Good morning Stephanie. So glad you’re feeling better. Your new projects and finishes are beautiful! So glad to see your video when I woke up this morning. Very inspiring! Your quilt in the background is beautiful too!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@Christina.stitches]

Just found your channel and subscribed since your student is watching your numbers. 🙂 Enjoyed watching and looking forward to your next video. Love your special quilt you made your daughter. It's wonderful that you have a cross stitch club for your students. How fun!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Welcome! Thank you so much for finding me and subscribing. It’s so funny how excited he is by the numbers. The girls in the club get excited too and are very supportive. ❤️

[@Kathy-Loves-Stitching]

Hi Stephanie. Great video. My suggestion is that you bead the 12 days of Christmas stockings as you go. 😁

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you. I will definitely think about that. Totally makes sense. 😊

[@reneayarolim1457]

I have not stitched any Bee projects yet but you have enabled me. I am now on the lookout for bee cross stitching.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

I’m so glad I could bee that for you. 😊 Thanks so much for watching. ❤️

[@christieschepers5072]

Love your flosstube. Have a great summer!

[@kathystrickland2849]

Another great video. Your daughter’s quilt is amazing. I currently live in NC but lived in MA my entire life. All my family is still there and I go up several times a year. Just missed you a week ago Wednesday at Pam’s shop. Hope to make a Wednesday stitching when I’m back up in September

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

I’m sorry I missed you. Please reach out when you are in town again, I would love to meet you and stitch together. ❤️

[@kathystrickland2849]

@@the_new_england_stitcher I definitely will. I’d love that. The plan is to be back up sometime around 9/7

[@joanneseeger5271]

You would be an awesome, exciting, upbeat teacher!! Tell your student who watches your numbers he is inspirational!!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

I will! Thank you! 😊

[@hvpta0813]

So sorry you've been sick. I'm fighting the crud right now as well. Your projects are amazing! xx Michelle

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you, I hope you get better soon. ❤️

[@pattyso]

Love your videos. Caroline from Evertote is the flosstuber that enabled me to purchase that same book, The Proper Stitch (used, too!).

[@barbaracarbone8101]

The quilt you made for your daughter is beautiful. She’s right about the grass stains showing that she has used it. I made a lap quilt years ago that has always been on my bed since it was finished. More and more places on the quilt are showing wear. I have a quilt my grandmother made that is falling apart as well. It’s also been on my bed for years. I love them both and so I use them. Good for your daughter. I was stitching Primrose Cottage Patriotic Quaker when you showed your spring finish, which is really pretty. Love the colors. Anyway I had to rip out a motif because I stitched it in the wrong color. I totally messed up the Valentine Quaker somewhere in the middle and didn’t realize it until I got to the border on the right side so I had to recreate that border. I don’t know what it is about Primrose Quaker patterns but for some reason I have problems with them. I feel your pain. I love the LHN bluebird pillow. It’s so cute. Blue is my favorite color so I think I’ll look for the pattern. What color is the dark bluish fabric your friend Sarah found and shared with you. It’s 18 count but you never said what color it is. I love that blue and would appreciate if you could tell me what it is. It’s so nice that your students are so enthusiastic about cross stitch club. I have some patterns I’d like to donate next year. When school starts, I’ll email you pics of what they are to see if you can use them. They are new and are duplicates because somehow I forgot I had already purchased them. Enjoy your summer off. As a retired teacher, I feel your joy. When you mentioned packing up your room it brought back memories, especially the last year when I retired. Have fun and get a lot of stitching and quilting done.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Hi Barbara, thank you so much for watching and sharing your similar experience with quakers. 😊 The 18 ct blue fabric is called Esmeralda. If you have extra patterns that you want to share for my students, that would be amazing. We are starting up the club again this September. Enjoy your summer. Hope you get lots of stitchy time too! ❤️

[@Kelley_stitches]

Just a little hint Frixion pen will return if you put it in the freezer both on paper and fabric. Great projects you are working on. The your Heartfelt quilt is beautiful and I like your choice of fabric. I want to start the Mighty Acorn as well and the dirt track looks great.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thanks for the info! I hope you do start the mighty acorn with us. I know I will be at it for a while. 😊

[@denisedongilli3388]

Love your joy friend!!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

You are so sweet to say so. ❤️

[@karentatum5854]

I subscribed to your channel today for you and your student. I do enjoy your videos. I’ve seen a few, now I’ll know when they are up. Good luck! ❤

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@racheldelilah]

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much!! 😊

[@kathierichards3531]

I have a lot of my dads shirts in my hope chest - been meaning to do a quilt so you inspired me. hugs

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

I’m so glad that the quilt inspired you. You should definitely make something with his shirts when you are ready. ❤️

[@PedalSewLightly]

The highlighting can come back if you put it in the freezer.

[@scrappychickcyndi]

Stephanie I just love your videos, your energy and humor puts a smile on my face! Thanks for some new bee inspiration 😊 and your good intentions is beyond gorgeous on that fabric!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much. 😊

[@gardengoosestitcher]

Start Along, Stitch Alone is my SAL approach 😂

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

I’m right there with you friend. ❤️

[@patriciabandura4692]

If you put the pattern in the freezer. It will come back. I’ve done that with embroidery and was able to save all my tracing that had disappeared when I left it in the. Sun

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much for sharing. 💕

[@beejayem42]

🐨👍

[@sueb1828]

Nice to see your stitching progress & finishes. Great bee finishes. You enabled me for a couple of bee charts! What & where did you buy the fabric bundle (beautiful colors). Did you use a pattern for your project binders? TFS.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

I purchased “Nice Ice Baby” from Jordan Fabrics. They are an online shop and have lots of quilting videos. I do not have a pattern for the wippah keepah, but Elizabeth Ann Can Stitch has a couple of bag tutorials that I went from.

[@kathycullenstern9652]

My grandson is finishing up 6th grade. It’s a fun age.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

They are so adorable at that age. 😊

[@kristi.schwisow]

I’m working on Antique Bee Sampler by Elizabeth’s Needlework Designs.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you for sharing. I definitely need to go look that up. 😊

[@betsywise4948]

Try railroading the white stitches

[@aimeezellers814]

Do the Tiny Town first. Get it done in 5 sittings and then the world is open to stitch whatever.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

You think? I trust you, so that’s my plan for tonight. ❤️
