I love September Fairy! Not a significant month for me but I love her asia inspired aesthetic ❤ 🎃

[@samagic99]

Thanks for the show. Love the September fairy, it is my birthday month! 🎃

[@StitchingwithMelva]

I did 24HOCS as well. It was my first time and I made it 19 hours. Great first fully finish. It is so cute! I love it.

[@HeatherEllis13]

Allison, your love for Cinderella reminds me of my love for Alice in Wonderland. Alice has always been my favorite book since childhood and I have enough Alice charts saved up to stitch for quite a while 🙂 The September Fairy is beautiful! 🎃

[@runwaylightblue]

Your videos make work bearable! This is the only pumpkin I can find! 🎃

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Yay! Thank you! ❤️❤️

[@sutherngal71]

🎃 thank you for all your great floss tube ❤️

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

You are so welcome!

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Delightful afternoon with the two of you!!🎃🎃

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Thank you so much! -Stephanie

[@feidie64]

That turkey is so cute! 🎃🥧

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

🎃👸🏻Allison! Wonderful job on the pillow. Always remember “handmade” will never be perfect. Thank goodness! Your pillow is just right cause it was made with your hands!!! Good luck on Snow White 🤞🍀 You girls are great! Love you both!

[@Threadgremlins]

Such a fun watch, I got a lot of stitching done 🎉

[@karolrobles504]

🎃 The only pumpkin I could find. Lol. Thanks for sharing your stitching.

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Thanks for watching!

[@clipperrn]

🎃 remind me of September. Greatly enjoyed the video ladies.

[@ShastaStitches]

September is my birth month so this one is definitely on my bucket list! Great video as always! 👏👏👏👏 🎃

[@Kellyschacht]

🎃 thank you for another video and may more “stitchy kindness” come your way

[@lisahurst4208]

🎃 All I have is a Jack o Lantern. Thank you both for your hard work and hope you enjoy some well earned rest.

[@LynnEllis2448]

Great video! Love the September Sapphire Fairy. 🎃

[@Jennifer_lynn_1313]

Ladies! Thank you for spending the night with me. I worked on 3 different SALs while watching you … two of which we are in together 😊 Can’t wait to reveal our Zigs. I’m also stitching on 40ct (my first time) so it’s definitely slow progress but I try to touch it every night. September. My Mom is a September baby, she turns 70 this year and this would be my first Mirabilia eeeek fingers crossed.

[@peggy1046]

I am an August baby from Australia, and turn 70 August 01. Avid stitcher.

[@linettewright8570]

🎃 great video as always. Canned wait to see your Mira May.

[@queenveecrafts]

Thank you so much ladies! I'm so happy that you think I have a calming vibe 😊 Allison, that pillow is so cute! What an awesome finish! MY ROUND ROBIN PIECE OMG! THAT PINK IS PHENOMENAL! All the Cinderella pieces make my heart happy, I need to get one and start; she's my favorite fairytale. Deadly Aquarium on that fabric is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 thank you for talking about your stitching on hemp experience, now I want to get some to try. That Felicity comment 😂😂 Makes me miss this original AGs. I'm excited for MiraMay and seeing y'alls progress on those pretty ladies. As a September baby, that Sapphire Fairy is very tempting. I would love to stitch her! 🎃

[@shannonnotestine1562]

Allison your pillow is gorgeous. I love the Sapphire Fairy from Mirabilia, she's stunning!

[@Mercierfam72]

So excited to win a pattern. Love your videos!! 🎃

[@hobbiesofholly]

You girls are just the best!!! Thank you for mentioning my flosstube and OF COURSE I know who you are!! Love everything you two do!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

You are so welcome! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kerierbe3699]

I would totally stitch September. My mom will be 80 in September what a cool surprise that would be for her.

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

❤️❤️❤️

[@CornbreadOracle]

I think it’s more the weave, or perhaps more accurately the spin of the thread that make up the fabric, than simply the fact that it’s hemp. I have linen clothes and I have some hemp clothing. They’re very similar; the difference you’re detecting from Belfast linen could be down to staple length of the spinning fiber. There is a lot more to fabric than fiber content and thread count.

[@officialmermaidscove1376]

Thank you so much for the shout out! ❤ 🎃

[@CrossMyStitches]

Thank you Ladies!! ❤

[@MaryToropov-oe2uj]

maybe consider on Cinderella's slipper overstitching it in an opalescent Kreinik, and backstitching in light blue to make it stand out.

[@thesoulstitchers_fr]

Aww this was so great to watch, you guys are the best ❤ thank you for the wonderful things you said about our channel. Allison , your pillow is perfect the way it is and I’m proud of you ! Stephanie your projects are so beautiful and such similar tastes!!! I’m so happy you liked the bags and thank you for mentioning the needle minder company. ❤❤ sending a loaded train of love to you both xx 🎃

[@suzannecamp1777]

I love watching/listening to your videos. I sometimes feel like I am eavesdropping on a private conversation. September is the best month ❤️

[@BecksBin]

Pumpkins!! Love them. My kitchen is Halloween all yr long. You guys are doing amazingly well. So happy you’re putting so much effort into your videos. Love the idea of being a go-between to send out patterns. I do giveaways and no one claims them. I am such a tiny channel. I’m getting there. Slow and steady wins the race ( there’s no race). 😂 It’s so funny how I find flosstubers and then within a couple of episodes you guys mention them. We like all the same people! So cool to build this community. Having a blast! Looking forward to the next ❤

[@thefarmonhighwayj]

I entered Floss Bossin' cousins giveaway already. If I win Snow White, it's totally yours!!!

[@Allisonatthemoment]

😂 no no no I was *mostly* kidding 😂

[@michellekaping-johnson4564]

I am going to stitch September for sure! She’s beautiful!

[@RosClarkeCraft]

Thank you for the birthday shout out!

[@MultipleLanesCreativeBrain]

Omg I'd love to stitch the September fairy. My daughter and I are both September birthdays ❤

[@Okie_Stitches]

🎃🎃 Allison, congratulations on that beautiful pillow finish. It turned out great. It feels good to have, doesn’t it? Mine and my oldest child have September birthdays.

[@sljack1]

thanks for the shoutout ladies! I so enjoy seeing what you are making with my hemp. BTW JacksonFabricArts is just me, Sarah, although sometimes my husband helps with the ironing! I let him sleep under the ironing board if he does a good job 😂

[@DebbieBuckland]

Hi love your videos... Im a New Zealand Cross stitcher and love your energy on your show. omg that herbal SAl looks great 🎃

[@LindaHankey]

🎃 Another fun video! September would be a great one to stitch!

[@therunnerstitcher]

I love your Turkey pillow omg it's so cute!! Congrats on all the starts :). Sometimes we need them! Ooh the deadly aquarium! You're further along then I am haha. Those 95 stitches might have been tough but they look great in the end. You did an amazing job!🟠

[@JudyChandler-vi5uo]

I have been wanting to stitch the September mirabilia chart for quite a while. Love her. Love your channel.

[@LaLaniJames]

🎃 I'm so happy that the charts have found new homes! 😊 So fun seeing what you girls are stitching.

[@MariaTheGreenStitcher]

I love the September Sapphire Fairy! She does look like she's wearing a kimono and would go so perfectly with my made up collection of fancy ladies in kimonos 😁

[@Jeanettelee1973]

I love September because she is in my signature color!!!!

[@kbhstitches]

Thank you so much for describing your experience with the hemp fabric - I always love new avenues of choices. So many great projects as always and I think I have followed at least four more Flosstube channels! 🎃

[@debwillner5598]

I have my oldest daughter’s birthday in September (she’s turning 44) and I would stitch this in honor of her starting when it gets here💞🎃and thank you for calling my name on this video!!! Love you girls💞

[@denisejeffries2675]

🎃 I would stitch September. It would be my first Mirabilia. Lovely video as always.

[@thread.needle.scissorsstcl9537]

Allison! I'm going to need the turkey and the cat!!!!🎉🎉🎉. Congratulations on your first pillow!!! I am still a pillow virgin but, I am making 2 full sets of The Prairie Schooler Book No. 215 A Merry Mini Surprise for 2 dough bowls I have. I'm making a set for each of my daughter's but am changing all the Santa coat colors to hot pink, teal, red, lime green and purple. I just started on my 9th one out of the 16 total but haven't made any into pillows yet. You've inspired me! I figure by the 16th pillow, I will have figured out how to make one. Wish me luck! Kari StClair - Springfield, Missouri. Aida Stitchers Unite!!!

[@thread.needle.scissorsstcl9537]

Stephanie! I love the color of fabric you choose for your Deadly Aquarium stitch! You've got a great eye for color choices! I'm a fan! Happy Stitching! Kari StClair - Springfield, Missouri

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

thank you so much!

[@shadowbroker4619]

September is my little sister’s birthday. This would be lovely to stitch for her! 🎃

[@maryannjohnson5410]

Love the finishes!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Thank you! ❤️

[@WickedKatStitch]

🎃 September is part of fall which is my favorite season! Also, I promise I will work on her for Mira May since I have never done a Mira pattern in my life and that would be amazing. Love your videos, Ladies!

[@MariaTheGreenStitcher]

You guys are the sweetest! Thank you! 🥰

[@michellekaping-johnson4564]

OMG you just mentioned me and you said my username perfectly. My maiden name is Kaping and I sleep very little so my Vegas Kaping is a reference to being a “Kaping that never sleeps”. Thanks for the shoutout. I have you to thank for getting me into that SAL. If I hadn’t gotten the info from you I would have missed out on the joy of it all. Love ya both!

[@subpar_stitches]

Please, I'm dying over watching 90 day fiance to prepare for a citizenship application hahahah! I agree with you, I previously was never a patriotic person but after immigrating twice in my life, I did find myself getting a little defensive of the US when I lived abroad because I'm like buddy, we ALL have problems in our country lol. I'm looking forward to see your start on that Mira, you've got me like thiiiiis close to picking one up myself.

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

I think stitching Candie is a lot like stitching a Mira, but at about half the size. If you like stitching her, then the right Mira would be perfect for you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@RedPandaHomebody]

🎃 wonderful as always! Watched this during some insomnia and managed to message the secret Sal about the other tiny modernist 12 days of Christmas *before* Allison mentioned it in the video, which cracked me up. (Clearly if it’s 12 days of Christmas related, I probably should just message Allison in general, lol!)

[@robinselby1]

🎃 love it all ladies and by the way have you seen Cinderellas slipper for cross stitch? I have stitched most all of the Brooks Books princess dresses and they are all stunning but of course I added beads and treasures and lots of whisper floss! They live in each of my grand daughters bedrooms now and I pray they enjoy them! See ya soon! Mira May is almost here😊

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Allison has stitched her Cinderella. I probably will at some point too! -Stephanie

[@forestcitystitching]

Thank you for the shout out!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

You're welcome ❤️

[@MacMoonie]

Oh...September fairy is one of my favourite of Mirabillia's... I'm also a HUGE Mira Stitcher and I'd LOVE to add September birth fairies to my collection (for my younger daughter who is a Sept baby... I've done March for my older daughter) 🎃

[@ChrisR_4812]

Thanks for sharing. 🎃

[@Bylliee]

September is my daughter's month birthday ! It would be perfect for a first Mirabilia ❤

[@pattyso]

I donated my wooden hoops to a thrift store last year, so keep looking - people really do donate them. I stitch in hand so I only kept a few plastic spring hoops for embroidery in case I ever embroider again.

[@bookfairy62]

🎃 Awesome video.

[@agathagallion2962]

My oldest son was born and passed in September 2008. I would love to do the Sapphire Fairy in his honor. 🎃🎃

[@Catmumcraftseverything]

Allyson (did I spell that right?) I love the red and green idea for Santa jaws, and also your kitty is nearly as gorgeous as my kitties. Stephanie, I'm keeping an eye on the shop in the desperate hope that Rome makes an appearance

[@muddy5380]

🎃THAnk YOu guys.

[@stitching_geri]

🎃I love your videos ladies! My foster daughter is a September baby and I would love to stitch the fairy for her. We are fabric twins! I won the 14 count fabric from Erin and Amity also! I just received it yesterday and it is simply awesome!

[@kristyrohm1500]

Loved the video...congrats to the giveaway winners. We didn't see pictures of the new cinderella.patterns though 😢 🎃

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

I am stitching Strawberry Fields 1x1 on 25 count Lugana, not 40. Thank you for mentioning my piece. I might have to be committed if it was 40 count, lol. 😂

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

But still - VERY SMALL! And so pretty. ❤️❤️❤️

[@jaxcreativeinspirations]

🎃 I just love watching you ladies! As always you have the coolest haul and most beautiful projects!! I’m planning on doing a “MiraManningMay” as I have got several Carolyn Manning designs and Mirabilias to work on. See y’all soon!!!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Oh that will be so fun! And such great projects to stitch together since they're so different from each other. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️
