Flosstube #18: TWO FINISHES! February Wrap-Up

[@nityaviswanath894]

Hi Marjorie! Ohh pink and orange look so good! Long and tumultuous lol! That is the perfect way to describe that Fruits of Plenty!!! That green on the Shaded Stitchery piece is so good. A Study in Pink is so pretty. Your crochet is so cool! I love all the colors for all the temps, they look great together! I'm catching up on old videos! This was so fun!

[@marjoriemade]

awh, thank you so very much! 💖✨

[@EmmyRose22a]

Congrats on the finishes! Your pink cow is adorable, and I totally agree, very appropriate for a strawberry cow. The fabric you chose for Love bug is perfection! Those pinks totally pop on that green fabric. Your bracket idea for March sounds fun. I like a challenge like that too. I am in love with your temperature blanket. Blocking does solve a multitude of errors. It'll be fine.

thank you, emmy! you’re so kind and encouraging ✨🌸💖

[@loriholmes8705]

The Love Bug finish is beautiful! Those pinks look great on the green fabric. I like your crochet square temperature blocks. Cant wait to see each months block. Happy stitching!

Congrats on your finishes. The strawberry cow is adorable! Your temperature blanket is coming along great. Love the colors you chose. I was/am stitching on dees20stitches' Pride SAL while watching flosstube videos today ❤ Have a wonderful weekend!

[@marjoriemade]

i purchased the pride sal, but haven’t started it yet ☹️ i still haven’t decided if i want to stitch them together or as smalls. i hope all of well with you! 🌸✨

[@stitchinginthemuseum]

@@marjoriemade I think either way would be great. I'm stitching them individually 😄 I love the artists that Dee has featured so far.

[@StitchinwLoo]

Congrats 🎉 on ur gorgeous finishes!!! I've had 1 finish so far for 2024; the durene Jones Xmas sal...the rest of my wips I'm just pluggin away w as they come up for wipgo, but the itch to start all my stash is hard not to scratch! 😂 Question for u if ur able to answer: I always notice such beautiful fabrics here on ur channel and those of ur stitchy friends among others...how do u find those? Like what I guess I mean is, I know u aim for a certain color, but I'm a tangible shopper where I like to touch and see w my own eyes what I'm getting, and my lns doesn't really carry more obscure fabrics so when u look for them what sites are best that show photos that r most true to color? Sorry that was rambly😂I guess my point is when it comes to fabrics r photos online pretty true to color or is it a crapshoot cuz lighting really makes a diff and I'm nervous as they can get up there in price! I hope that made sense 😬 happy stitching! 🪡❤️

[@marjoriemade]

thank you so much for the lovely comment! i always enjoy hearing what others are working on and finishing✨ for fabric shopping, that can be tricky. i also like to see it in person, but my lns is 3 hours away now ☹️ 123stitch has relatively accurate photos of their fabrics, but it’s always a gamble. hand dyed fabrics will usually look different just due to the process. evertotes and bestitchme also have pretty good photos for their fabrics! sometimes it really is trial and error and there are times when you get a fabric that isn’t exactly as you expected, but there’s plenty of uses for it!

[@StitchinwLoo]

@marjoriemade ❤️❤️ thank you I will Def check them out! I do have a few fabrics in my wish list on 123, I think ima just take the plunge n see how it works out! I'm always apprehensive tho cuz it's kinda hard to do a floss toss on ur phone screen 🤪 ..but ur so right, if the fabric isn't what I think, it's certainly an excuse to buy another pattern design that WILL work! 😂 im really trying to branch out and use more original materials instead of just the fabric that comes in kits❤️

[@FutureWisdom]

What is the rainbow thing called at 10:30 in the video? I've never seen that before!

[@marjoriemade]

i think they’re called “grime guards”. it’s essentially a big scrunchie you put around your q-snap. it helps keep the edges of your work from getting dirty/oily from holding it. it also helps with wrangling extra fabric on bigger projects!

[@staceycooper1634]

Love your pink cow. She has strawberry milk, right?

[@marjoriemade]

oh absolutely! the best kind 😋
