Thank you so much 😊💗❤️

The Pugs need their own channel. I have a black pug but have had 5 of various colors in my life. It would be super awesome if you could design a black pug chart. Angus enjoyed your flosstube just as much as I did.

Thanks so much! Luna and Loki say hi! ☺️💗

[@jendickson2201]

I’ve been looking for a black pug chart ( I actually have a Bugg dog- Boston Terrier /Pug)

[@allisonferber5474]

So good to see you gain. Your pugs are so sweet. Love your pieces. Can’t wait to see your fully furnished projects for the fair.

[@ArdithDesign]

I'd use a different fabric on the back for a pedestal stand up bunny. I've done many of the Bent Creek "globes", they are nice kits. The Pugs, lol. I think it's called Dirty Linen. Souvenirs of Summer is so pretty. 7 Entries, wow!

[@ArdithDesign]

Yeah, I think you’re right and I should do a different color fabric on the back of the bunny. Now I need to get my self in gear and actually get these all fully finished.😜💗

The pugs were so funny. Especially when you stopped and turned around and Loki was like, oops, caught me! Good luck at the fair! We are moving to Delaware so maybe next year I’ll enter some things in their state fair. I just purchased two 3-D cross stitch patterns on Etsy. A beach house and a pumpkin carriage. Happy stitching!

[@ArdithDesign]

A pumpkin carriage sounds so adorable! Good luck with your move and definitely look into entering the fair next year. 😊💗

Amanda Mae, so inspiring to hear you speak so positively about the fair. I am in NC and think I shall enter. Our state fair is in Sept.

[@ArdithDesign]

You should definitely enter the fair if you are able to do so! You rock! 💗❤️💗

[@theintuitivestitcher9336]

Hi Amanda Mae! Always good to see you! Maryland is such a beautiful state. My daughter lived in Bel Air. She taught at JoppaTowne. Your pugs are so funny! Love everything you are working on! Maybe I should take a trip and visit the Fair! The heat index is ridiculous. Have a great week, and I am looking forward to your next flosstube 🌷

[@ArdithDesign]

Thanks! Yes the fair is so fun. I will take a video walk through of it and have it posted in September. I love to see all the beautiful things people make.

Hi lovie! You aren’t kidding about the weather 🥵 I had to make a stitchy spot in my bedroom because that is where the ac is! 😅 the pugs are the cutest! 😍all of your fair entries are so good! I don’t know why I can never get it together to enter something. Maybe it’s nerves 😬I too have a thrifted frame collection that is getting a little wild! lol I’m hoping to do a bunch of FFOing after the weather breaks. I was recently given a surger by a crafter that was downsizing. I’m a little intimidated, and definitely need to watch some KZbin about it too! I hope you are staying as cool as possible, and are having a wonderful Sunday! Big hugs!! ♥️

[@ArdithDesign]

Yes this heat is no joke! There is no pressure to enter the fair. You’ve got beautiful stitching but you need to do what’s best for you-just know you’re awesome and I enjoy all your stitching. Your gifts you sent me have a prominent place on my heart. ♥️

[@robinselby1]

You know I get tickled, this year our fair is now so I went yesterday to see how I did with my stitching and I did well! I entered 8 items in 7 categories. 7 won blue ribbons and 1 won a red, one won a blue and best in class for the show! I told a friend and she said wow you’ll get so much money it’s crazy! Goodness I think the blue ribbon win 4 bucks, grand prize gets 20 bucks so that’s definitely not why I enter anything I just want everyone of all ages to see a variety of what can be stitched!🧵 ❤ your designs are gorgeous and I just love your channel❤oh instead of dowel rods I use paint stitches and just cut them with wire snips, they are flat and easy to put into stitching and stay in place so much better😊

[@ArdithDesign]

Congratulations on all your fair ribbons! So exciting!! Yes the fair ribbon prize money is the same as what you described. I think my winnings paid for my gas 🤣

[@kathyharris7158]

Great projects and also inspiration to try some mill hill kits. Good luck at the fair.have a fun time.

[@ArdithDesign]

Thanks, you too! You should definitely try a Mill Hill kit!

[@mickiejohnson8940]

Hello, I’m so glad I found your channel. I saw your pugs and your finishes and subscribed! My pug Lola says hello! They are the funniest dogs. Good luck at the fair!

[@ArdithDesign]

I’m so happy you found my channel! Luna and Loki pugs say hi. 😀💕❤️

[@piecefulstitching6367]

Just found your channel. So glad I did! Your pugs are adorable! I bought a Jazz late last year and love it! Your projects are lovely 😍

[@ArdithDesign]

Awesome! Thank you! I’m so happy you found my channel! I’ve got to get over my fear and learn how to use my Jazz. 😊💗

[@theyarngoeson]

OMG so great to see you and your adorable, feisty pugs! My dog is a pug mix - she gets much needed summer allergy shots. Loved seeing all your projects! Take good care and enjoy all your adventures!

[@ArdithDesign]

Thank you so much! Yes, Luna pug is on a daily allergy pill plus medical stuff for her ears. It’s a hot mess. Summer is her least favorite season.

[@kerrys_stitching_basket]

New viewer here. I love dogs and have a soft spot for pugs so when I saw your pugs on the thumbnail I had to come check out your flosstube. I like your Chesapeake Bay Treasures Series. Good luck with the fair entries. I'm impressed with all you finishes in a year. I started doing WIPGO this year and it is helping me make progress so maybe I'll have a few finishes this year (I'm a slow stitcher).

[@ArdithDesign]

I’m so glad you found my channel! As long as you’re enjoying your stitching, it doesn’t matter how fast you’re going. I stitch in hand and I’m able to stitch a lot in the evenings. The pugs say hi! 🥰💗
