[@red_river_stitcher]

Ingenious how you finished St. Francis! It’s really beautiful!

[@gingermccafferty9572]

Coloradocrossstitcher mentioned you today so here we go! I met a new friend and 3 new patterns to download! 😂 thank you❤ beautiful art, designs, soul and great Flosstube!

[@annemarieemmen4692]

Oh, dear! What a great flosstube, with way too many patterns I would love to stitch too! I just have to watch it again to take notes and make a wish list! Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Awwwe, thank you!! 😊

[@lynnburton6225]

Great flosstube video, I enjoyed listening to you I ended up watching your 1st Flosstube too and not going to sleep until 12.30am!

[@pauletteharris5759]

Your wall hanging is an heirloom to be treasured.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you, Paulette! ❤

[@we.are.curiouscrafters]

Really enjoyed your FlossTube Gigi! I especially enjoyed seeing your Solstice design in process and would love to hear more about your design process. You've got lots of great stitching ahead of you with you WIPS and kitted project. See you next time! -Carolyn

[@theartsyhousewife]

Awe! 😊 Thank you, Carolyn!!

[@laplibrarian6094]

"Heist Hijinks"! I don't think anyone said that yet! Beautiful work all around...just enabled me to purchase "The Prayer of St. Francis". So happy to have discovered your channel! Lindsay

[@theartsyhousewife]

Prayer of St Francis is a beautiful pattern, you'll love it!! Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤

[@theresezupancic6763]

Absolutely love your finish on the prayer! One of my favorites.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@barbaramatchack8995]

I think the cherries will be very pretty with bright pink, it will be cherry blossoms. I enjoyed your flosstube, you showed a lot of very pretty charts and stitching.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you! 😊❤

[@calliecreates]

I LOVE the fabric choice for Land That I Love!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! xjudesigns does a wonderful job with her fabrics!

[@SewCreateful]

Fantastic finish!! I like getting creative with things and having fun with it too.😊 I made a little mini quilt with baskets and couldn’t resist adding some old vintage lace and buttons I had. I keep my floss like that too so your not alone lol. Heist! 😀 I enjoyed visiting your channel 😊❤️

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much, my friend!! ❤

[@deborahwatkins1493]

I'm watching your older videos and was disappointed to have missed out on the painting. Oh, shucks! Throughout the rest of the video I made notes of designs. You are such an enabler! :-) And, that's O.K. :-)

[@theartsyhousewife]

It probably won't be the last time I give away a painting... 😉💕

[@Novahere]

I would love to heist your painting. Enjoyed your floss-tube. Really impressed you did a second take🤗

[@theartsyhousewife]

Awe, thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@carolosborn4435]

Your Prayer of St. Francis is wonderful! You are very talented. Heist! Your painting is great.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@janethodges1248]

I ENJOYED ALL YOUR BEAUTIFUL WORK. the designs in your etsy acct are so cute. thank you so much for the free pattern. i love the design.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@wendykermott5633]

I am so impressed that you did not give up. And what you have there is a one-of-a-kind piece that is simply charming and gorgeous. It will be a treasure to your prodigy

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you, Wendy! There surely isn't another one like it! 😂

[@kristinaciminillo9908]

It is so neat how the new stands upon the firm foundation of the old! Very beautiful piece. You may have stumbled onto a new way to present reproductions of antique samplers!

[@gwouellette]

Well aren’t you a breath of fresh air! Loved your second video re-do! I stopped immediately and signed up for your newsletter. Checked out your shop while I was there.. I see some new charts in my future. Your style is quite refreshing. That bunny is absolutely adorable! Your painting…you are quite a talented lady! Those farmyard characters do look look they are running for their life after a big heist…how about The Great Escape? You had me on the edge of my seat, just waiting for your family to return and walk in behind you..😂 The dogs were not loud or bothersome to me at all. Relax…you are a natural. I am off to see Episode 1

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! Your kind comments are much appreciated!! ❤

[@melindaparsons380]

I love all the patterns you showed us. Looks like you made a large heist at the local cross stitch store….lol

[@theartsyhousewife]

Oh my gosh, it's so funny! I think I'd actually buy LESS cross stitch if I had a local shop, but since I'm forced to turn to the internet and the internet has no end, well... I keep the postman busy. 😆

[@lisaenderby741]

Just stumbled across your You Tube video and you are delightfully authentic. The pieces you design are truly beautiful and I will be purchasing one soon. You have also enabled me to purchase the St Francis prayer sampler. Heist - “Trio of Trouble”😊

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! You'll love the Prayer of St Francis, it's a joy to stitch!!

[@rosaliaparrish8751]

lovely!!! great work with the prayer of St. Francis.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you very much, Rosalia!

[@Maria-ue1zl]

I so enjoyed your video! That bunny pillow is truly adorable and I will need to purchase it and a few more of your lovely patterns stat. Your Heist painting is precious and definitely brought a smile to my face and heart. I think a great title for it would be The Three Amigos. Thank you for taking the time to put out this video and I look forward to more of them as you have the time. Take care! Maria ()"o)

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! ❤❤ Great name suggestion!!

[@heartfulhandworks24]

Wonderful stitching, you have a new subscriber. Looking forward to your next one.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! ❤❤❤

[@jerynjanz9476]

Enjoyed your floss tube very much. Your projects a so nice!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you!! ❤

[@barbaramoser8006]

I stumbled onto your flosstube! So glad I did. I too have the Eastmoreland project, now I'm inspired to get mine out and work on it!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Yes! It's a very joyful pattern, I just love it!

[@aliceschultz3182]

When you mentioned that you like to watch a variety of stitchers, you might like to watch the PNW stitcher. She does a variety of different patterns. Her name is Olga and she lives in the Pacific North West, but I believe she is of Russian descent. Her work is gorgeous. You might not see this comment since this a older Flosstube. Thank you for your beautiful patterns.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you, I'll check her out! ❤

[@shelleymattfeld523]

I just found you and love your handwork! My daughter lives is Lufkin and is a teacher. I love that area!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Lufkin is charming! I've lived in cities of many different sizes, but Lufkin is absolutely goldilocks perfect 🥰

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Hi Gigi! I don't have many kitted pieces in my stash at the moment, but one I do have fully kitted is the Biedermeier sampler!! I really need to stitch it! I love how you FFOed the Tulip House with the lace at the bottom, and I can't wait to see your new designs!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Ooh, with the silks? I think that'll be gorgeous! Realistically it'll probably take me 10+ years to stitch through all my charts, and you know I haven't stopped buying! 🤣 There all just so dang purdy.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

@theartsyhousewife I feel you! And yes, the silks! It was a huge splurge and I still haven't stitched it! Major silk guilt.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Do you wanna do a Beidermeir SAL?? Maybe in May? (Ima need to save up for those Belle Soie's!) I'm a terrible finisher but a real good starter! 😜

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Lol! Let me get back to you closer to May. I am VERY tempted, but I feel like I'm all over the place lately!

[@lindamanning7348]

I really enjoyed your flosstube. Your stitching and designs are lovely, and you have a smooth, calming voice. I think there is red on the coffee sampler because coffee beans turn from green to red when they are ripe.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Then you so much! Ah, that makes sense, about the coffee beans... maybe I'll go for a hot, fiery red... we'll see!

[@lizflorom6021]

All your cross stitch pieces are wonderful and done well. You should be proud.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@desireepheister2633]

You did a great job! Really enjoyed the time with you. My goodness, you are so gifted. All of the artistic things you can do! I visited your Etsy Shop and signed up for your newsletter as well as went and found you on Instagram. You should be so proud of all that you can do! My grandmother was a school teacher who paid for years of piano lessons to improve my handwriting; now my career centered around typing (110 wpm) and I cross stitch about 1,500 stitches per day! So my hands are precious. But you! You can paint and stitch and so much more!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thanks, Desiree! As crafters/needleworkers our hands are so important!! I used to say that if something tragic happened to my hands I'd learn to paint with my teeth. I don't think I can say the same thing about needlework, though... 🤣

[@sheliaelder5077]

Really enjoy your video's. Love your projects. It's time to make a heist and pick up some new charts. Have a great day

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@lauraleehawes5266]

So love your fabric choices for the ones you just kitted, excited to see the progress. I am finding I am loving different styles as well. Have a blessed day.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you!! ❤❤

[@phyllisbrandon6636]

Hello! I just discovered you and subscribed. I really enjoyed this video and love your designs. I will be purchasing the bunny today. 😊

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you, Phyllis! I really hope you love stitching Bedelia, she's a sweet girl with a big heart ❤ 😊

[@loreenmcquaid6033]

thank you for sticking with it and redoing the Flosstube, I enjoyed it, looking forward to the next. Your designs and your artwork are beautiful! I am ordering 2 of your cross stitch designs and they will be in my kitted-up pile 😊Heist

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you, Loreen!! ❤

[@Chris_Yoo__AsTheYooFlies]

The Red deer sampler is so beautiful ...love it xxx

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much!

[@djcuzy12]

I am glad I discovered you! I love that you take creative license with your projects to make them your own. Love love the heist painting and would name it Triple Trouble Trio. Thanks for sharing❣️

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@lisaboban]

I stitched that "Little Quakeresque" myself, and it was a delight. Even though it's a single color, each letter is unique. It's a fun stitch and I'm looking at it in my living room right now!

[@theartsyhousewife]

That's awesome - I love the pattern! Did you use the called for threads and fabric or something different?

[@lisaboban]

@theartsyhousewife I used a pretty standard 32 count linen, might even be vintage country mocha. But I used a navy blue Gloriana silk because I love that floss. Like I said, it's a total delight to stitch.

[@KaylaGraystitches]

I really enjoyed your video! Your stitching is stunning and I’m glad I found you in my feed, Heist!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Oh thank you, Kayla! 😊

[@stitchingbytheriver8666]

New subscriber. I loved the way you finished the St. Francis prayer. Beautiful! I am working on the Apostle s creed right now. I have a long way to go yet :)

[@theartsyhousewife]

Isn't My Big Toe one of the best designers? I have a file drawer full of pdf designs by them that I hope to get to someday ❤

[@katelinde1273]

Loved your video. I couldn’t buy A Study in Pink fast enough. Love it. Your Dinky Dyes palette immediately made me think meadow. I don’t know maybe A Meadow Musing. Meadow’s Muse? Looking forward to seeing it.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Oh, thank you! It is quite a woodland meadow palette, isn't it? Almost damp, I think. ❤❤

[@rhondawise1897]

Hi, I just found your podcast enjoy and signed up for your newsletter, and hight

[@theartsyhousewife]

Yay! Thank you!

[@JoOnFireToday]

Just found your channel! Love your pattern choices, especially the red work pears. I’ve been in a “smalls” mood lately!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Smalls are so satisfying! 😊❤

[@jillvanoeffelen6780]

Great floss tube! Heist! So glad to have a new person to follow.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you! 😊

I loved your video and everything you shared! I need to go back and watch number 1 and am looking forward to the next 😊

Thank you so much! 😊

[@maryjaneh2251]

New subscriber. Was sitting here stitching on the Red Deer Sampler when I discovered your fun channel. Love your art and seeing how you work with color. Looking forward to seeing more in the future!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Awe, thanks so much!

[@stephanieange8750]

Thank you for sharing what you’re working on! Such fun seeing different patterns. I’ve had my eye on that Beidermeir Sampler too. I usually use cottons/over dyed but would like to try the silks. Heist!!!

[@theartsyhousewife]

The Beidermeir sampler just screams silk, doesn't it? 😍

[@carlarigel252]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your video. Your painting is lovely. Heist.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you! ❤

[@lindafranklin5457]

Glad I discovered your floss tube! You did a great job. Sorry you had to redo this floss tube due to audio, but bet you won't repeat that error again! We learn more from our mishaps!!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Oh, yes, that's a mistake I won't make twice! 😂

[@kima9181]

Bunny is adorable!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Awe, thanks! 🐰❤

[@danitabennett5174]

I just found you today and I loved your video I would love your heist.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you, Danita!

[@mountaincraftsstudio]

😂 I love how excited you managed to be after finding out there was no sound. Been there.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Laugh or cry... and there's no cryin' in baseball!

[@kima9181]

"Expressions from the Farm" is a name that springs to my mind. Not entering as I'm not in the US. Wonderful painting though!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you!! I love it ❤

[@susanroetzer1082]

Omg the heist painting is fire. Are you trained? So good!

[@theartsyhousewife]

Thank you! I have an undergraduate degree in studio art... painting was my life before needlework found me!

[@anneehlers1151]

Hi I enjoyed seeing all your cross stitch, unfortunately I had trouble hearing it as it was so quiet. I have my sound turned up to full. I find with a lot of the American floss tube videos they are very quiet. I don't know if it's a problem my end or not. I live in the UK so don't know if that has something to do with it. Anne

[@theartsyhousewife]

It is likely my equipment (a phone). I am not a technically sophisticated person, but perhaps I can equip myself with a microphone... this is my second time creating a video so you'll have to give me grace as I learn 😊

[@rosellahanson5760]

If it helps, the "berries" are coffee beans which is why they are red. If pink makes you happy, do pink. Your project, Beth doesn't care.

[@theartsyhousewife]

Ah yes, someone pointed that out to me, which would make a good reason to keep them red - but maybe a hotter red? I hope designers are never offended when I change things!! I appreciate there work so much 😊❤

[@carmentaylor3706]

Hi Gigi I just found your floss tube channel, and I really really enjoyed your content so I subscribed and I will be going back to see if you have anymore videos for me to watch. Heist
