There is nothing like the feel of sand between your toes. It sounds like you are enjoy life and stitching some beautiful pieces. ❤️ your scrapbook finish. Yes, I still have to finish some scrape book pages. You are motivating and inspiring!

[@lynncampbell1943]

Summer Quaker is beautiful - so need to add that to my list. Love all the WIPs and finishes. Gorgeous stitching. Sand - thank you for the generosity.

[@theresapetrik1995]

I'm always amazed at how much you stitch along with your family activities. Love the finishes especially the nautical scrapbook one.

[@LoriOrr-qp8fg]

I've been sick for 3 days and the first flosstube I turned on tonight was yours - what a JOY! Thank you There must be as many shades of blues as there are flowers in mother's garden - all beautiful with your stitching on, love the Bewitched fabric too that you stitched Midnight Watch on.

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

Hi Laura Love all of your Finishes and your WIPS - you are making great progress on them. They are so pretty. Glad that you got to go to a LNS and go shopping and meet other Stitchers in your area. That is always nice to meet other stitchers. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️

[@lisacurry8312]

I LOVE your decision to use Icelandic Blue. I would not have thought to put that project on a blue. Your project just pops! 💙

[@CristianeBramble]

Gorgeous projects and colors! Your summer bird stitch, the moment you showed it I saw it as a little banner hanging inside. Those colors popped beautifully!

[@karenrowell2180]

So many finishes this month….wow. I love the personalization that happens along the way with many of the patterns.

[@kjmstitches]

You got so much done this week! I love the piece all in blues that you are scrapbooking! Very pretty. You Midnight watch is looking so beautiful! I really love that Stitchrovia piece!

[@M80Watson-er4pd]

I have just bought my little grandson a sand pit for his first birthday and he is loving it, mostly by throwing the sand out onto the grass, lol. Great stitching Laura. X

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I can just picture him throwing the sand out - so cute!

[@maureenlopez9266]

Your latest scrapbook FFO of the blue beach scenes looks great! Cheering you on for finish with your other beach piece! You're almost there👏👏👏. The fabric color you are using for Midnight Watch is awesome. I think it makes the piece look so much better. I enjoyed seeing all of your stitching today. Glad you got in a trip to Salty Yarns😊. How great it must be to have such an awesome LNS within an easy drive! Enjoy the week ahead!

[@val6164]

I love hands on design charts and I think the resting beach face would be so much fun to stitch...SAND.

[@cindyflinchbaugh7155]

I love all your Quakers. You touch so many stitches and see some wonderful progress. I really like your scrapbook finishes and the others also. Your Midnight Watch is really great on that fabric. You are so encouraging when you only stitch partial charts and I love how they look. Have a great week.

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Stitching parts of patterns has really opened up so many more projects to me! Kim the Contented Needleworker (I think that's the new name) is such a master of this. She picks and chooses parts of patterns all the time and her finishes are so beautiful.

[@joyd5000]

Love seeing all your stitching. Great variety. Sand

[@debbieoconnor7054]

Thank you Laura for another great video. You always do beautiful stitching and I always love your choice of fabrics. I know what you mean about the humid weather. I lived in Sydney for over 30 years and we got very hot and humid summers. Here in New Zealand much cooler summers which I love. We are currently in winter and it is very mild at the moment. Have a great weekend. Sand.

[@sarasstitches]

Laura, your Midnight Watch is looking beautiful! I had to laugh when you forgot the hashtag, I think I completely forgot to mention the hashtag last time I showed it😂😂. Your scrapbook pieces always look so good. I still want to start one. Love your color changes on the quaker. Sounds like you have had great week. So glad you have a LNS close by. I love being able to go into mine, nothing like if you are a stitcher😊

[@elaineedwards9816]

Another great video! I enjoy seeing your stitches even though I never plan to do a full coverage 😂 Thanks for taking the time to share with us. Sand

[@SoggyDoggyStitcher]

Love your videos! Looking forward to seeing your progress on summer quaker. Makes me think of sand and sun by the shore.

[@bvdstitching]

I love your idea of finishing in scrapbooks. Sand.

[@bioboystitcher7320]

I love your Quaker blooms in the bolder colours, my wife and I are just home from holiday where I was lucky enough to do some scuba diving while my stayed with her feet firmly in the sand on the beach, she doesn't "do" underwater 😊

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I'm with your wife with my feet firmly planted in the sand! LOL

[@lbacon4169]

Wow! Nice finishes. Love your projects. The one on the sand fabric looks great and will be done soon. I love the black cat

[@jenniferwatts3189]

Great visit Laura💕. The finishes are amazing, and your WIP’s are gorgeous. Like you I am contemplating not putting in the clouds as the modeling in my fabric might take the place of the stitched clouds🤔. Happy stitching 🪡

[@tammyvickery6748]

Love the finishes, resting beach face turned out cute. The summer bird stitch turned out great on the blue fabric. Glad you got to shop at Salty stitches sounds like a nice store. See ya next week.

[@heden1460]

I love the blues in the scrap booked page. Nice finishes.

[@raggedygene1770]

Your stitching is absolutely beautiful! Love your finishes and your scrapbook pages make me want to try to do one!!

[@anitaphelps8663]

Beautiful stitching. Another great flosstube. Sand.

[@devrakline4967]

Love your finishes! My summer Quaker is coming along. Love yours. Love the sand between my toes!

[@minimalisminthemaking]

Thanks for the video! I really love all your projects - great stitching!

[@RaineyDayReads]

My goal is to finish more pieces in scrapbooks now that I’m done with Winning Putt so I’ll definitely us that hashtag when I do! I love Hidden Harbor every time you show it.

[@debraquilts8030]

I love to feel the sand on my toes at the beach.

[@mytwelfthhousecreations]

The one in all blues with the lighthouse and mermaid! 😍 if you do find out that’s Cottage Garden Samplings, please do let us know, I am in love, it looks gorgeous! 👏

[@barbycrabb369]

It is and the name of it is Comfort Lighthouse. (I had to double check I still had it on my wishlist)😂 I love it too, it's so gorgeous!

[@mytwelfthhousecreations]

@@barbycrabb369 thank you!!! 🙏👏

[@thesteadfaststitcher]

Another terrific flosstube ❤ i loved your scrapbook finish, all those blues are beautiful. Nice haul from Salty Yarns! That was a fun Zoom for Summer Quaker.

[@Cross_stitch422]

Just got back from Bethany Beach and loved my toes in the sand !

[@audreyfleming8036]

Hello again Laura, I just love the black cat and moon on the purple fabric, a lot of stitching in the moon and cat, but it might just have to go on my wish list, , I am just making a little fairy garden in an old Belfast sink a friend had gave me, so I need a bag of sand and grit as I am going to plant alpines in it, I have ordered a cute little fairy door from etsy. Catch up with you next week.

[@carolynreynolds7779]

I love all your blue fabrics. I would stitch this on a sand color!

[@thehappystitcher1883]

Oh Laura, Your midnight watch is fantastic, and a finish is a finish not matter how small, we went to beach last week, I love to feel the sand under my feet, I like to paddle and get my toes wet but I don't swim in the sea.

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I stick my toes in the water but that's about it for me!

[@shannonmaddox543]

I really want to stitch summer Quaker (and spring too!) but just not sure when I can start them. In the mean time I’ll watch your progress. 😄 Your finish on resting beach face was so cute. I’ve been saying I’m going to buy it because we are a beach loving family- even the sand! Hopefully soon! 😁Your day with your husband sounds so nice. Hope your herbs do well. And glad you got your air fixed! Living in Ga wouldn’t be possible without AC especially with these 90+ degree temps the last few days. 🥵

[@zandizigler2297]

Enjoyable video Laura, I am just back from a few days away and there was a beautiful beach and lots of clean sand, it was great to see so many people use the beach, take care,

[@P-la_stitches]

I love Stem X Stitch also. She’s always interesting to watch. This was my first time to watch you and I really enjoyed it and am much inspired now! Thank you! Sand Also I have been thinking about doing scrap book finishes but don’t really know where to start. Will dive into your past videos to see what you’ve done.

[@teresabrown9529]

Sun sand and ocean - my daughter loves the beach. I wish I had a LNS near me. Your trip to Salty Yarns sounded like a fun time.

[@easttxstitcher90]

Great finishes and progress! Yay Salty Yarns- how fun! I'll go pick out a Barbara Ana now 😀

[@normahammer5566]

good to see you definitely would love to be at the beach with sand and ocean thank you for sharing

[@kima9181]

LOVING the FFO! Your customizations are inspiring ;) Sand.

[@nancy5510]

The mermaid finish is by Kathy Barrick. It is beautiful. Love the colors.

[@CaseyL19]

I would love that pattern, sand thanks for all you do

[@lisacurry8312]

Halloween IS purple for me, too! I have that BBD chart but couldn't figure out how to get that on purple. Brilliant choices! Now, I'm not commenting any more until the end of your video. You'd think this was my first watching Flosstube. You found a new subscriber.💜

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Welcome :)

[@georgiemcdougle9064]

I think the Summer Quaker is just beautiful, and I have been debating about starting it. Sand

[@EnchantingStitching9697]

You resting beach face is so cute! Only thing I dislike about the beach is the sand lol

[@Jonesy460]

Love watching..love your stitching 💙

[@barbycrabb369]

Hi Laura! Great show! I so enjoyed getting to start Summer Quaker with you and everyone else this week. It was my first zoom and alot of fun. I wonder if that pattern would look good on sand? 😊 Double check your top big motif on that summer quaker. It looked like you have a single line around it, and it should have two. 😢 I hope maybe, I just couldn't see it during the video. Take care have a good week stitching!❤

[@sherrytolman6435]

I would love to see fabric dyed with Prince Edward Island Sand. Enjoy your channel, a little like stitching along with someone.

[@candrasowder8236]

You can send rain our way, please! We had an inch Sunday. That was it for the past 3 or 4 weeks. The lawn is crispy under foot. I love your new starts, but I'm being a good girl and working on my full coverage pieces and piecing quilts. I visited an embroidery group, but probably won't go back because of membership fees. Woukd rather buy linen than pay for a group I'll seldom attend. But there are other free ones around, so will see how they are someday. I'd love to get Zoom links or notices any time. You can put me on that list! I prefer weekdays while hubby is at work instead of dumping him when he's at home. Lol. But let me know.❤

[@Pages3Stitches]

Hello friend!! Wonderful update. I love your finishes ❤ You (and Karla) have ruined me for all other favorite dyers. I’ve literally JUST put in another To Dye For Fabrics order 😂 Hope to see you on zoom!

[@stitchinginhighheels9529]

Your camp piece is lovely, congrats on the finish! I love the blue piece that you FFO'd. Your finishing just completes it perfectly for my eye. I'm having lots of fun with Summer Quaker. So far, Spring hasn't called to me as strongly, but that might change at some point. I've been wondering myself if she'll do a Fall or Winter Quaker.. I'd be excited to see what she might do with those two seasons. 🪡👠

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Fall and Winter could really be a lot of fun if she charts those too!

[@bibbitybo3133]

I really like those 2022 Good Tidings, these aren't over fussy, the serenade aida is very pretty and a delicate pink, lovely for some valentine smalls. SAND please.

[@TheTravelingStitcher]

So enjoyed watching your video while stitching 🧵 ❤

[@2teddybearz]

Laura, I love your Midnight Watch!!! :)

[@STEMxSTITCH]

Laura! Can’t wait to send that copy of Save the Bees to Jyl! I think you are actually further on Hidden Harbor than I am - I have just stayed in the left and am finishing filling in the pinks and purples of the mountains! Love your scrapbook finishes, that is such a good idea and you have an amazing eye for coordinating colors and patterns. I’m so looking forward to your scrapbook flip through whenever you do get there!!!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I just sent you the email address through Etsy. Love that pattern and can't wait to see what else you come up with. It's fun seeing your Hidden Harbor as well. I don't see it stitched much and it's such a pretty piece.

[@STEMxSTITCH]

@@stitchingbytheshore perfect! Stitching the same HAED as someone else is pretty special considering how many there are to choose from and how big of a commitment they are! I extra look forward to seeing others progress on pieces I am also doing :)

[@charj57]

Love your Summer Quaker!

[@yvonnedavidoff136]

Hi from Colorado! So many great finishes and wips! Love the blue ocean finish...what a great pattern!! You should frame the beach one for summertime in your craft room! Beautiful stitch. I liked what you did with the purple fabric for the cat and moon...it pops! I would leave the windows dark so they don't distract from the moon. Great use of the pattern. Love all your blue fabrics...I'm learning some new names. Love your monochromatic wip..wow, just beautiful. Is the theme just different types of travel? Is your favorite count 18? Mine is. Summer quaker...I have the pattern but haven't started yet...it's so great. Are you going to use the fabric color for your water? I am going to omit the mermaid and add more fish on mine. Happy stitching! I have to catch up on your latest videos.

[@sallyknotwell1605]

I am planning on doing the Blue Dreams chart for the Barbara Ana SAL....I want to challenge myself to NOT use a neutral - looking at maybe a navy or a bright red....I love seeing how you chose fabrics for your charts. Sand is not my favorite part of the beach - my favorite is the soothing sound of the surf!

[@staceycooper1634]

I’m pulling together everything for the Barbara Ana SAL. Our AC went out about 12 hours after the guy was here doing a tuneup on Wednesday. It was over 100 degrees and super humid. I tossed and turned all night so I was tired and cranky at work the next day.

[@stitchingbytheshore]

It's always the way, right? AC has to go out at the hottest and most humid time! I hope it's all working now.

[@roxannegreen5722]

I love to have the sand between my toe’s 😊 see you next time. Happy stitching 🪡😊

[@Stitchwithwyn]

I grew up in Florida and never went to the beach now. I live in Utah now and there’s places that have sand dunes but it’s not the same without a beach

[@cathwilley8130]

Great stitching and finishes. X

[@jylromain6439]

Thank you, Laura. I sent an email. I don't do Zoom. The paper covering the camera only has to fall off once to traumatize you for life. I'll just watch later, thanks. 😄I grew up in Jersey so I sympathize with you on the muggy weather. Glad to be out of that. I sat here and worked on my Monopoly. Slow going with an injured wrist.

[@Peggys_still_stitching]

It’s winter here and it’s been so cold I miss the sand 😢

[@leslieprice9224]

Love all your projects, Thank you for sharing 42:09

[@daniellesdazzlindogs]

love your stitches honey!

[@ellenbeallstratton]

What a wonderful parade of stitching this week. Wish I had made the zoom, just stitching on whatever was in my lap! Hope you have a great week!

[@sharonmahon1656]

You get so much stitching done and I love your scrapbook finishes. Can't wait to feel the beach sand between my toes on our upcoming camping trip!

[@MandyParker]

Yay for finally getting to start Summer Quaker! Gorgeous finishes and FFOs. Always love seeing your updates.

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

Beautiful stitching. I appreciate all your effort with your show notes. Have a great stitching week.

[@naturegirl7420]

Love your black cat

[@mlauoliva]

I love your videos. I dont know if your giveaways are international but i say SAND. I love this design ❤

[@LoopyScrapper]

Hello lovely! I just love your channel. You have also inspired my husband and I to move to Delaware in about 3 years when we hit retirement age. How do you like it in Rehobeth? Do you recommend? I just love the beach and have dreamed my whole life of living near it. Grace Notes Fabrics is located in Pennsylvania near Allentown. I actually just spent some stitchy time with the owner Corrin yesterday and I used to work with Corrin’s daughter. They are the most lovely people. Her husband John even stitches!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

We really like Delaware and am happy we chose where we did. Besides Rehoboth, there are several lovely places here in Sussex County. Before we even committed to moving here, we rented (actually in Lewes - another lovely place) to decide if we thought we could see ourselves living down here. Obviously we did! I do like the closeness to the beach although I will warn you that in the summer months it is packed! Thank you for the correction on Grace Notes - still makes sense why it gets to me so quickly! And how fun to meet Corrin - they seem quite nice!

[@LoopyScrapper]

@@stitchingbytheshore thank you so much for your reply. It was very helpful. My husband and I are going to take a trip to check out the areas. Might be a good idea to go soon to see just how busy the areas get in the summer. Renting is also a great suggestion. I just can’t imagine moving twice. (We have accumulated a lot of stuff in 30+ years plus all my hobby stuff😱lol). If you wouldn’t mind answering one more question. How are the seasons? I know Delaware is not that far away, but do you get a lot of snow? Thanks for your help. And yes, Corrin and her family are beyond sweet. They are the nicest people ever. Have a lovely day🤗
