[@sandyevenson-hagen370]

What a delightful video, ladies! I’m going to have to watch again to make sure I didn’t miss anything! You both do all the things I love, cross stitch, quilting and embroidering. I also like crocheting and some wool appliqué. Nancy, so wonderful to hear that everything went so welfare’s your daughter, thank heavens! I can’t imagine caring for two babies, I don’t think I would be able to do that at this time in my life. Kathy, have a great time at retreat, it’s always a great time when spent with like minded people. Take care, looking forward to next months video!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

[@caspinall6296]

Hi Nancy - I have found Rustico by Wichelt in 14,16,18 count and Fiddler’s Cloth by Charles Craft in 14,16,18 count on 123Stitch. Fiddler’s being lighter oatmeal with a little softer hand once stitching begins. I’ve been fond of Fiddler’s since the late 70’s. Love, love, love your quilts. Thanks for sharing. Cyndy

[@wandamccoll3739]

I don't even know what to 'ooh and awe' over as you guys showed so many amazing things!!! Absolutely loved the drums and A Savior's Praise!! Your quilts are spectacular Nancy! Have an amazing time at your retreat! I am so thankful that your daughter is doing well Nancy. Thanks as always and happy stitching!

[@bonniehale5556]

You two are delightful to watch. You both do such beautiful finishes and I love seeing your different needlework projects, the quilts are so beautiful! Love all the background decor, gorgeous. Hurry back with another video😀. Thank you.

[@sewnsews6389]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@lindadaley7469]

All of the projects are beautiful! Your quilts are so wonderful! Glad your daughter got along great with her surgery. The old people always claimed that you didn't put your garden in until after the first full moon in June! I always adhered to that.

[@red_river_stitcher]

Thanks for the fun afternoon stitching! I can always count on y’all for fun!!

[@Lola.004]

Hi ladies! Such great projects! I love them all, especially Nancy‘S heirloom and the story it told of her family. I never knew my great grandparents, so it is especially nice to see. Nancy, thank God your daughter’s surgery went well ❤. Have a great weekend both of you lovely ladies 😊

[@shescraftin2126]

Holy moly! All the amazing finishes packed in this video. Your fingers must be on fire ladies. Thanks for sharing!

[@myrabeavers4762]

Always enjoy your videos. Great stitching. A Saviour Praise is beautiful.

[@lindameeks5228]

All of your needlework knocks it out of the park, just blown away by all of your beautiful needlework. The cross stitch, finishes, sewing, quilts, mill hill , just so many beautiful things. It's so much fun each video you share. Thank you so much for all of your time to share.

[@tamimorgan1487]

All the beautiful finishes! Wow! Just fabulous ladies! Thank you for sharing!Happy stitching!

[@joyceandrewes9178]

Your projects and finishes are all so amazing and your quilts are beautiful. You are both so very talented, thank you for sharing.

[@suereilly6247]

OMG that was amazing. I loved everything you showed. The cross stitch and the quilting was off the charts. I am so glad your daughter is doing well Nancy. Thanks for sharing.

[@sewnsews6389]

You are so welcome!

[@kristinaciminillo9908]

Ohhh placing your hoop like that is so wise! Because sometimes if you drop your needle it is caught in the hoop as well. 🪡 Thank you for the reminder! Also, your comraderie and support of one another and kind tones are very relaxing💗

[@sewnsews6389]

I’m glad that helped! Thanks for watching!

[@gerryfix1009]

A fantastic video. The xstitch and the quilts! Wow! What else is there to say? I’m very glad your daughter had a successful surgery. Keep healing! You two do so much! I took some pictures. Happy Spring! 🌸🌸🌸⭐️⭐️

[@leslierupp73]

Absolutely wonderful finishes in stitching, quilting, and sewing!! I will keep the prayers coming for your daughter, and I am glad she came home sooner than expected!

[@jaxcreativeinspirations]

I absolutely love watching you two ladies! Your stitching and quilting are stunning! Nancy I have been trying so hard to not go down the quilting rabbit hole. Someone left the baby gate ajar, and I’ve been toes-up in that hole for a few weeks now, looking at foundation paper piecing. I adore all things Lori Holt, so when you brought out that quilt, all I could think was “Sew & Sew’s Flosstube #12: where Cathy and Nancy are eaten alive by a ginormous quilt!!” 😂😂. Seriously it’s stunning!! Congratulations on beautiful FO’s and FFO’s

[@sewnsews6389]

Thanks so much for watching! That is a ginormous quilt! 🤣🤣🤣

[@CountTwiceStitchOnce]

Such a lot of stitchy goodness of every kind! Beautiful works, ladies! 💜

[@auraperez6156]

I am so glad to hear that your daughter is doing so well

[@jillbarron]

I finished all your previous shows! I, too, love Brenda Gervais and many of the things you make. It is just inspiring and motivating to see what you girls are doing! Everything is just beautiful! So glad your daughter is doing well, what a blessing she has you, Nancy and all her many helpers. I have one teeny request. . .Nancy, please write your dmc color conversions!!!! I find it intimidating but I can tell I love what you have already used. Just a thought! Love the quilts. Everything is amazing! You girls are my happy place!

[@sewnsews6389]

i will always share my DMC conversion upon request. I usually won't though until after the project is done because I may pick a color but then not use it or decide I like a different color better. The best way is to contact me on Instagram and I can give you the conversion there ~Nancy

[@SharonCarbine]

It was delightful to see you and your creations this evening, Cathy and Nancy. Thank you for sharing! Your biscornu tips were great, Cathy. I thought they were very complex before you explained how to make them. I appreciate your explanation! :-D

[@sewnsews6389]

You are so welcome! I thought the same thing until I decided to try one. Now I think they are really fun to do! 😁

[@NDQuilter1]

What beautiful cross stitching and quilting. So many gorgeous things you showed. So glad for answered prayers for your daughters surgery. Till next time keep in stitches. 😊❤❤

[@sewnsews6389]

Thank you!! 😊

[@rachelhyde871]

I love to see all your stitching and you do some really lovely different things. Thank you for reminding me about the pinker and punkin patterns they are so pretty and I like my quilts to be an addition to the room as well as functional. I’m the very unpredictable weather we get here in the Uk. All the pretty birds and stitching that links in with our love of all things needle and thread are just what I adore too. Thank you ladies can’t wait to see what you’ve been stitching up next ❤

[@sewnsews6389]

You are so welcome!😊

[@quilterinthewoods62]

I just love all your cross stitches, and sewing/quilting! You both do such a fine job. Nancy. You said that your pic of you and your grandma wasnt very good. With todays printers, you might be able to sharpen it and bring it back to its original, or almost original condition. I did that with a friends and she was brought to tears because it made it like it was taken yesterday. Just a thought! Glad your dd is doing well Nancy! Cathy, have fun at your retreat. KC is just about 2 and a half hours from me. I have never been to Quilters Station, but have heard about it. I will wave to you from Northern MO.

[@marylynnlucas3918]

I enjoyed every moment with all the beautiful item you shared with us.

[@pampeterson3092]

I so enjoy watching to see what beautiful projects you are working on/ finished. I am inspired and sometime enabled by what you do. Nancy, I am so glad your daughter is doing well. Cathy, have fun on your retreat and I wish you safe travels.

[@sewnsews6389]

Oh thank you!😊

[@LoriOrr-qp8fg]

All your work is amazing, especially your quilts, Nancy.

[@WendysWhimsicalStitches]

I feel like I'm a broken record when commenting, "I love seeing what all you've been working on. You're so inspirational!" It is true! Nancy, I'm so thankful that your daughter is doing so well after major surgery. Praise God! Cathy, I'm happy to hear that you're over your sinus infection and feeling better.

[@pamelaconsalvi6797]

Many beautiful stitching projects and finishes way to go! Always enjoy your videos 😊

[@dianefrazier7789]

Everything was fantastic! Love all the quilts! Love the drums too!

[@susansaunders397]

Wow! Everything was absolutely wonderful!! I just love it all! So happy your daughter is doing great & continued prayers for her healing. I’m fortunate to be home as well & I stitch nearly every day. What I don’t appreciate is having to stop stitching to do house chores🤣 Have fun at the retreat & happy Stitching to you both ❤️🪡🧵🌸

[@sewnsews6389]

LOL I totally get that, having to stop to do adult things is no fun ~Nancy

[@sharonhendrix3864]

Hey Gals! Great stitching - so happy your daughter is doing so well….God is good….🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@richardallen1391]

Thanks ladies, you inspire me with your beautiful finishes. Continued prayers for your daughter Nancy. Janine

[@barbaracarbone8101]

All of your work is beautiful. You never disappoint. I am retired and I don’t think I get a quarter of the things finished that you do. I’m glad your daughter is doing well. Grandkiddos can wear you out especially the little ones. I hope the retreat was fun. I can’t wait to see what you have to share the next time.

[@sewnsews6389]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@dollyyarborough2918]

Hello from NC Nancy and Cathy, loved your FlossTube, so many beautiful pieces. I love that you give us a mix of the needle arts because I also love embroidery, quilting, wool appliqué, fabric appliqué, and crochet. All your finishes as well as your works in progress are just gorgeous...such talent, thank you for sharing. I am also a big fan of Lori Holt, Brenda Gervais, and Kim Diehl.

[@sewnsews6389]

Thanks for watching!! 😊

[@lindaallinder1751]

Oh my!!! What beautiful finishes you both have! Nancy your heirloom cross stitch is so amazing! What a treasure!! The quilts are amazing and beautiful as well! Love all your sharing! Kathy hope you enjoy your retreat! KC is home for me and you will be amazed at Quilters Station! Best quilt shop going!

[@sewnsews6389]

Thank you so much!😊

[@luellacalkins6739]

Kathy, Quilters Station is an amazing store, worth the trip by itself…then adding a retreat!🎉🎉🎉. Glad your daughter is coming along well Nancy.

[@elizabethbryan9475]

Another fabulous video and oh my goodness everyone of your projects are adorable. Happy Stitching from my home in New Zealand.

[@sewnsews6389]

Thank you so much!😊

[@khayes9591]

I think your Happy Camper is adorable. You made it your own. Trees and flowers are behind campers every day. ;)

[@sharonpetterson478]

We all know when your video pops up that we are in for a treat. Fantastic.

[@mamaschnabe3576]

What a JOY to see you two and the beautiful things you create--thank you for sharing it with the rest of us--a highlight of the day for sure!!!

[@terryanderson5789]

Fabulous ❤ Fabulous, wonderful video once again! Love the story Nancy of your Great Grandparents, beautiful cross stitch!

[@calliecreates]

So great to see you two again! I love all of the recent finishes and the tomato drum is definitely my favorite!

[@sewnsews6389]

Yay, thank you! 😊

[@judymalys7997]

Always enjoy your flosstubes! 😊

[@laurazuniga184]

I am very happy to know that your daughter is recovering so well. Those quilts are gorgeous, congratulations. All the finishes are so beautiful. You two really are artists.

[@sewnsews6389]

Thank you so much!

[@theresalaboda3569]

Enjoyed all the beautiful stitching and finishing. Nancy glad your daughter is doing better.

[@sewnsews6389]

Thank you so much!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Lots of fun projects. Kathy, I also did the Spring Messenger pattern, but mine is smaller. I guess it's because I stitched it on osnaburg, which is like 32 ct. I absolutely love mine!

[@sewnsews6389]

That is awesome!

[@sewmesarah]

Wow! So much inspiration catching up with you both today. Cathy, I love all your cute little spring finishes and look forward to seeing how you mount your stitching on the papier mache book. Nancy, I loved seeing your Saviour’s Praise. Mine is in its infancy but seeing your completed masterpiece is so motivating. I also enjoyed seeing both of your Things Unseen.I just finished part 2, so I’m somewhere between you both. I have the poor copy charts too. I just thought it was because they were older. Anyway, they produce the results I guess, but I can see if you like to collect charts, it would be disappointing. Take care ladies. In awe of all you achieve.

[@sewnsews6389]

Thanks for watching, Sarah!! 🥰

[@pigtailquiltingstitching5635]

Love your video! So much to see. Your show & tell is sew inspiring. Both the cross stitch and your quilts!

[@sewnsews6389]

Thank you!! 😁

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

You guys are so prolific. I so enjoy listening to you and you are so genuine.

[@sewnsews6389]

Thank you so much! 😁

[@lindamelz242]

Oh how Gorgeous all your stitching is. Such inspiration . Great FT. Great news about your daughters recovery. What a fun time you will have at your new retreat !!!

[@tonistitchesinky3958]

I was so excited to see your new video! I retired 4 years ago, but there’s no way I come close to getting as much done as either of you! All of your WIPs and finishes are great! Nancy, A Savior’s Praise is outstanding! I admire how thoughtful you were in planning it all out. Your quilts are amazing! Cathy, I’m also going to the Quilters Station retreat next week! We’re going to the 2nd session. Since you mentioned Thursday, are you going to the 1st session? I hope you’re in the 2nd, so we can see you again. We went to Amana last spring and really liked it, but we want to go to a variety of retreats before we start repeating. Unfortunately, we can’t go to all of them! Nancy, hope your daughter continues to recover and heal quickly. Take care of yourself, too!

[@sewnsews6389]

Hi Toni! I am in the second session, just going early to shop and hang out with friends. I’m sure I will see you there! How fun!!

[@FabShabbyRose]

Oh ladies, you two are incredible! I love when you post a video! Nancy I’m just in awe of your quilting! I’m working on the My Happy Place too but I’m not very far! I kept asking FQS when we were going to see a cross stitch with this design, they said they may but haven’t see it yet! Love all of your work! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@sewnsews6389]

Thank you so much!

Nancy, I am so glad your daughter is doing well!! I actually work as a nurse in the OR at University of Utah in SLC! There is a real possibility I was there for your daughter's surgery!! We do a ton of cardiac cases and, as you said, it is routine for us. I am so glad she is doing well!

[@sewnsews6389]

Great FFO, FO and WIPS ladies! I especially liked the personalised sampler and love that there’s a Clara on it. Greetings, Clara from The Netherlands 👋🏻

[@jeannettaderringer5625]

You guys are amazing. I'm hoping to retire in 2024. I have a stash of quilts and fabric that everyone teases me and says i could see and quilt forever and still have stuff to leave for the person the kids sell my left overs to. Lol

[@nevadastitcher]

Everything is so inspiring! Especially the My Happy Place quilt! I’m almost done with Flea Market Flowers and have almost given up on My Happy Place. After seeing yours, I’m going to keep going on it. I have the appliqué block and the tomatoes done. Cathy, I’ll be at Quilters Station too! I’m in the Thursday/Friday session. We have a trailer and hubby and I leave this Friday. We “glamp” at a nearby state park and he fishes and hikes while I attend the retreat. Barbara

[@sewnsews6389]

Oh, I want to meet you in person, Barbara! I’m in the second session, but will be hanging around from Friday on. I hope we see each other!! 😁

[@lindaskinner5887]

[@lynnlambert863]

Another great video, I love you ladies! Nancy I'm so glad to hear your daughter is doing well. Open heart surgery is no picnic ( from a retired nurse's point of view.) Cathy I'm also glad you are over your sinus infection and now will be able to attend the retreat. I'm so envious, have a great time! You both are so multi-talented. I love seeing all your finishes. Keep doing your videos, you are so inspirational.

[@sewnsews6389]

Thanks for watching!!😊

[@caroljohnson8276]

So happy to hear you both say you usually start in the middle. I do too but some of my friends give me questioning looks about it.

[@sewnsews6389]

I’m kind of OCD and like to have my design centered on the fabric! That way I know I have enough fabric. 😅 Cathy

[@bonniekimble1489]

You gals are awesome! Love everything you do. Liz so happy to hear your daughter is doing well. Could you please tell me where you got the little rag doll behind you. She is so stink'n cute. Is that a pattern or a ready made doll? Looking forward to your next Flosstube!

[@lindaskinner5887]

Nancy so happy to hear your daughter is doing well. The power of prayer. ❤
