[@MarissaMcConnell]

Put a little patch on the ghost of One-Eyed Willie!

[@Threadgremlins]

Omg yes! Thank you!

[@ThreadGremlinsAimee]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

I literally squealed when Aimee pulled out Red Deer Sampler by GiGiR. Fabulous choice. I am almost to the center flowers! Stitching on a crazy piece of fabric, 1001 Nights by Xjudesigns with Vicky Clayton Silks. All three of you are quite talented and creative, and a joy to watch. Caroline, chef’s kiss to your quilts! Thanks for keeping me company. ❤❤

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

Thank you for joining us! I can’t wait to see the progress on the red deer…

[@StitchinwLoo]

If you do want to start Blackbird soon, we are starting her as a SAL on Nov 8th! It will be a blast! I use a laying tool on all my fancy ladies :) makes a huge difference

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

Doesn’t it?! I hate how good it makes my stitching. Why haven’t I always been doing this?!

[@Stitchykiwigirl]

Caroline, you quilts looked sensational!!! Especially liked the one for Josh… it’s sooo good. I’ve been thinking of doing some resin pieces too. I wanted to try out something like a little stitched needle minder first but I haven’t found anything to use for a mould yet. I thought a tray would be cool too… or the inside of a wooden box…. So many possibilities ❤

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

Please please email us pictures if you do…

[@Threadgremlins]

@@Stitchykiwigirl thank you!!

[@therunnerstitcher]

Wow your quilts!! Absolutely incredible. You did that so quickly and make it look so easy! Congratulations!

Love the Haunted Mansion vibes of your dress! iykyk And I love you ladies in general! I put off the start of my work day to watch all of your video. I’m a quilter too so I appreciate the addition of quilts into your flosstube

[@Threadgremlins]

Oh good, because I love it!

[@TripleDogStitches]

Looking so forward to seeing the snowflake ornament! I do think Watermelon is my very favorite red.

[@marialicemorales4186]

Elizabeth is crushing it with the sassy vixen look! The necklace is amazing. All the stitches were so fun to see again. Been waiting for your flosstube to come out! 🎉

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

Thank you so much! Short hair has made me bold. :)

[@Voni-q1n]

OMG that Malachite fabric is gorgeous! Just want to let anyone know who does not have an LNS that 123stitch does custom cut fabric. Just email them what you need and they will give you a quote on the cost and send you an invoice.

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

That’s so good to know!

I love Denise updates.

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

The best part is that Denise does not hold tuck with any of this floss tube nonsense. :)

[@Stitchykiwigirl]

I’d love to see you using the laying tool Elizabeth…it’s hard to imagine how it would work. I didn’t know you should do confetti first either, so thanks for the info. ❤

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

You’re welcome! It seems like there’s a lot of interest in the laying tool…

[@thequiltjunkieTX]

Hell yeh! Woot woot! Once you start playing hide and go quilt, there’s no going back! Welcome to the dark side! Loved y’all’s video and it was great to see ya!

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

I know right?!?! I’m not ready yet! My future quilting room is still full of little boys!!

[@thequiltjunkieTX]

You’re gonna be there in no time! I can’t wait to see your quilting style! I always thought quilting was for an older generation until I had my first run-in with one of Tula Pink’s lines. The rest his history! 😂 now I’m just a total quilt junkie with no regrets.

I want to start that sprouting lupine so much and now I have gone down a Hester Fox wormhole at the library so excited about that! Also that Chinelle It, I have two rolls of but I didn't really get it but NOW I do so thank you so much for sharing Caroline, those projects are amazing! I know there is more I wanted to say but y'all always make me laugh so an upload is always welcome, happy stitching

Yes!! Hester Fox!

[@TheFeralCrossstitcher]

I clasped my hands together in glee at the flosstube #15 notification - I started watching before work and left my little dog watching the rest until I got home from work. Yippeee - gorgeous work as always - I am in awe

Thank you for the great time!! I busted out laughing my husband asked what are you watching? So fun. I have the Peter Pan panel and your idea is fantastic. Must order the Chanel it now. Thank you!

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

Oh how frustrating! I hope your power is back soon. 💚

[@ThePajamaStitcher]

I have a signed copy of A Lullaby for Witches by Hester Fox, but I haven't read it yet. Maybe I should for the spooky season. I love the Artsy Housewife charts. They are on my wishlist. I really want the reindeer.Reindeer. Those quilts are awesome! I never thought of doing panels. I've always tied quilts. I'll make patchwork tops. Then sandwich them with the batting and the backing. But to quilt it all together, I use yarn and tie knots every few inches. That's just how I was taught. I'd love to learn how to machine quilt.

[@hannamansfield2894]

Oooo...you are back!

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

Yes! Thank goodness, right?! :)

[@sarahb2255]

Another fantastic video. Might you consider showing in more detail how you use the laying tool and its advantages? I’ve heard about them but am a bit mystified about how they work. Thanks for sharing your stitching and knowledge.

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

I have intentions of doing a video! We’ll see if I follow through. :)

[@debrajohnson6774]

Is it possible to show how you use your laying tool? I have the same type of tool but I find it very awkward to use because I stitch in hand and I feel like I don’t have enough hands Your work is beautiful!

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

It sounds like I need to do another video! The hardest part for me was figuring out which finger to wear it on. I thought middle would be best, but I landed on index. Good luck!

[@jenhughes9736]

Will you share how to use the laying tool and where you got it?

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

Yes! It’s called a trolley needle. I bought mine at my local embroidery shop, but a quick search shows they’re also at 123 stitch and Joann’s. Mine was $9.00. How to use it would make a great floss tube extra! Hopefully I’ll have time next week. :)

[@barbaraburdett9594]

On the pollinators how do you stitch the pattern when it is split in the middle of the pattern? Do you make copies and tape them together? What fabric and count did you use? On the butterflies what fabric and count did you use for that pattern? Thank you.

[@Elizabeth-pj5if]

There are a couple of different methods you can use over page splits. Some of them have shaded areas where you can see a bit of the previous page and mark off what you’ve done. Personally I like to glue my patterns into one Mega Page. It looks silly, but I find that my counting errors tend to happen on page breaks, so eliminating them is what works best for me. The moths are on 32 count malachite by fiber on a whim.
