Flosstube #2 I'm Back :)

[@quiltcavequilter6952]

For a young mom with 3 little ones YOU AMAZE ME🤩 with all you’ve stitched…I’ve jumped over to your Instagram and WOWA….I just turned 53, my only child is 28 but I do have a special needs little Frenchie so my me time is sporadic most days. I’m also a fan of the Halloween stitcheries. I’ve just picked back up cross stitching as I am a longarm quilter since 2012 and been quilting since 2001…. I think I’m obsessed with it now but have yet to really get started…got my binder of printed patterns and a few kits made up and my first one is the Quilt-O-Graphy fro FQS….I guess you could say between Lori Holt and Pat Sloan they are who got me interested again in Xstitching 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[@lucindafino6462]

I enjoy watching your floss tube. I basically stitch samplers, but enjoy seeing your finishes and haul.

[@susanalston7941]

Hi again!! Saw on Instagram that you had posted another video. You are one busy lady, jealous! Thanks for sharing Teresa Kogut's info, I love to watch her also. Her patterns are gorgeous. Love all your finishes, and thanks for sharing the idea about writing things down for pillow finishes. Hope you have a great weekend!

[@debbiehays9794]

I love organizing videos so yes please. Another great video. Thank you!

[@cathymadrid6044]

Your finishing is so pretty. I love your flosstubes.

[@bakersacres3508]

Enjoyed #2! Happy Stitching 🪡

[@bethtourtellotte419]

So glad I found you! Love your stitching and finishing 😊. If sometime you could show your dough bowl with pillow finishes and your tier trays. Any Craft room organization too. Thank you!

[@patdipietro1469]

I’m enjoying your FlossTube. Your finishes are cute.

[@carolb8296]

I would like to see your house decor with your finished stitching pieces. You are so talented and do beautiful work and finishes. Thanks!

[@dtrimble1965]

Great video. Love your finishes. Happy stitching!

[@lesliereinhardt4908]

Another great video!! Love your finishes!

[@tonyaspeelman4914]

I'm a huge Teresa Kogut fan! Been a patreon since the beginning. I have a ton started and I've finished a few! I'm a tier 4 but I can't help myself with the ornaments and the monthly scriptures. Michelle from Penny's daughter shares is stitching faith hope love peace sampler by Teresa. So I'm stitching it on Sunday as my sabbath stitch! Great videos! Loved every minute. As far as spring stitching, I started how does your garden grow by Priscilla!!

[@debbiereynolds9276]

Kudos to you for what you have accomplished with little children in the house. It has to be a challenge and you are getting so much stitched and finished. Great organization must be the key. Lots of eye candy today and taking notes. 📝 Be well 🙏🌻

[@NicollettePatsch]

Just found your floss tube this morning. Finished watching the first and found you had posted a second one, made my day! So happy to have found you. Love your WIPS and finishes.

[@michelequilts528]

Loved the video. Your finishes are fantastic!

[@BonnieMBlack]

I have enjoyed your videos! Great job with your projects.

[@tracithompson2035]

Another great video just rejoined Teresa’s channel love her patterns. Looking forward to the next video.

[@mccannlinda33]

So glad I found your videos, love all you do. I seem to be a seasonal stitcher but I think Christmas wins out with Fall close behind. I love 1,2.

[@marywarman7491]

Your second video did not disappoint! Really enjoyed seeing all your stitching and finishing.

[@beckyhautanen1774]

Awesome finishes! had to order 2 of the chicken wire barns...lots of ideas...thank you

[@kathyhowell6735]

You are doing a great job on your videos!

[@gingerhargraves2121]

I just found your FlossTube this week after my daughter shared it with me. You’re a sweetheart and so easy to listen to. I enjoy hearing how other stitchers organize floss and other items.

[@jenmoody485]

I am really enjoying your channel. I just love your style and all your projects. Your Target dollar spot is so much better than mine. Lol. I hope you have a great week!

[@donnameyers2758]

Wow, what and excellent second video. Just watched your first one and Surpurise another one. Love your progress and keep up the good work!

[@StitchingisElementary]

Love your St. Patrick's Day finish! I also love how your Barn Sweet Barn came out, so I think I'll copy you and get that 11 count! :)) I'm working on catching up on all your videos! Happy Stitching!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Thank you 😊 I need to get back to some of your older ones as well.

[@juststitchinginc9777]

Thanks for including your haul. I’ve definitely started thinking differently as I shop, especially when something is on clearance lol. “What could I cover this with?!” Shelly

[@kristinbennett4079]

You truly are a natural at floss tube! Your finishes are great and I can’t believe how much you get done in a week!! Great job 👏🏼

[@nancyn4446]

I would love to see your craft room. It’s always fun to see how everyone decorates them. Great video😍😍

[@gleehanson4775]

Enjoyed!

[@cheetahsews]

Again another great FlossTube ! So fun to watch! Thanks!

[@raeannoneill8392]

Another great video. Congratulations on almost 500 subscribers after just one video. You are off to a great start.

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Thank you 😊

[@kathyparker9683]

I love craft room organizers so go for it. I like your format because it’s fast. You move thru it so gracefully but very thorough. What a blessing you are

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Thank you so much 😊

[@robertacreed7895]

I’m so happy to have found your Flosstube🤗. I’m very new to cross stitch and love your style of stitches and finishes. Your presentation covers it all, FFOs, WIPS and hauls. Looking forward to more videos.

[@judyclarke9970]

You go Jessie! Aunt Judy

[@JanetJabber]

[@Lindseyzackman]

So far I’m pretty much a monogamous stitcher but you have stirred me to consider changing things up daily. Organization for craft room or home decor.

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I like having the variety and if I ever feel overwhelmed I just try to take a day or so for a break and then try to make a plan for starting again. I am going to add organization to the list of ideas for the future.

[@tammybunge5615]

Love your stitching and finishing ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@juliekaufman8635]

Congrats on your new FlossTube!!! I love your excitement for stitching. Thanks for the finishing tips! Adorable! I’d love some tips on organizing stitching space!

[@crazybandladystitches-xanl5148]

[@GIL3969]

Oh my gosh I love your floss tubes! I love your style so much! So much fun to watch!!

[@ambermilone937]

Great to watch your second video! I love your finishes. I would love to see some of your tiered tray setups for the different seasons.

[@sandyd5397]

I am so happy to see you again. I would love to see your organizing ideas for the craft room.

[@sharonrobinson9958]

I am so excited to find you! I watch & love all the things you seem to love!! You are doing an awesome job! Congratulations on your new channel!!💖

[@thisiskatiebrown]

Another great video! I love all of your finishes, they are so pretty!

[@debbiek4559]

Wow! You are really good at fully finishing what you stitch right away. Wish I could say the same about myself 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Thank you, most things I stitch I know I want to display right away which is my motivation to get them fully finished. I do have a basket with a few that are from November and December that didn’t get finished.

[@debramcgrath3083]

Loved your stitching and your finishes! I just watched your 1st video yesterday and here today you have the rainbow one finished stitched but it’s also fully finished amazing! Have great week happy stitching🪡

[@ThreadtheNeedleStitchery]

❄️☃️❄️

[@grmanat]

Great presentations! I am finishing up the bunny in Harietta & Co. as I’m watching today. Your work is so nice! Looking forward to future flosstubes!

[@Deb_DeFazio_0531]

Wow, your finishes are so cute! Loved each and every one, and your stitching is beautiful!

[@lslovesls]

Enjoyed watching and all your stitching plans are definitely motivating me to get to stitching faster! Also, thank you for mentioning Teresa Kogut patron, definitely going to check it out!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

If you enjoy her patterns and Etsy shop it is well worth it. She also sometimes does special livestreams through there. She had one at Christmas and we played a guess the song game and I actually won a free chart 😊

[@felicia-flossnfizz]

Tulip Bunches turned out great - love your changes. Where did you get your dough bowl? I like it's size. Love all your haul and almost paused the video to run to the store (ha! I restrained myself). Your videos are so organized and easy to watch. Look forward to more content from you!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I got the dough bowl last year from Hobby Lobby and it came in a large and small size. I can look it up and see if they still have it. I did see the other day in the Spring section they had a bunch of different ones in all sizes and they are 40% off.

[@kathymorrison1405]

Really enjoyed your videos! I would love some organization ideas!

[@pixiegirlstudio]

Just found your FlossTube today. I love your's and Vonna's tips on finishing the pillows. I never thought about writing down sizes so they all finish the same way. Can you show your January and February barn finishes next to each other. I'm just curious about the size difference. I wasn't going to do the barns until I saw the greens and decided to do that one for March. Kimberly gave a sneak peak of all the months and their DMC colors in FlossTube #144 on January 5th. It's in the Barn Sweet Barn chapter but it I don't think you could make out all the DMC numbers. I'm headed to your Instagram now and will subscribe there too. Can't wait til your next FlossTube! Have a great week!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I will grab both barns for next time. I was actually going to do that but couldn’t remember where I put the February one. I can also post a picture on instagram but I’m not sure if you will be able to tell the difference. Also that is the video I took a screen shot of and zoomed in 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I feel like I sounded crazy admitting it but I feel like other people have done it too.

[@wwjackie7751]

Hello, love your work. Please, I need Robin’s Garden, but I can’t find it anywhere…? Thanks so much!

[@amymuller1429]

Thanks for the 11 count aida tip. I am not a fan of the 10 count fabric either for that project.

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

It’s funny because I wanted to get it started today and didn’t have any 11 count so I went ahead and started it on 10 count. I can’t decide if I want to go to the store tomorrow and change to the 11 count. 😂

[@amymuller1429]

@@sweetwaterstitcher I have pack of the 10 count so I will use that up then switch. The 10 is just too floppy for me.

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

@@amymuller1429 that is how I feel too. I think I am actually going to go get some 11 count and start over and then decide after I do the middle which one to finish.

[@estherh.1508]

We just moved so I would love to see how you organized your craft room. Need tips!

[@paulatullos4698]

Loved all of your stitching and finishes. You have some great finishing ideas. Can you tell me about where in the fabric dept. at Hobby Lobby did you find the green gingham fabric. Our HL has small gingham prints but didn’t see the larger prints. Would love to see organization ideas for a craft room. Have a great week!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I found it in with all the fabric that is by color. It’s not on one of the stands in the middle. I hope that helps and I can always try to take a picture of the tag on it next time I am there which will probably be later this week. I also have a light tan in that same size.

[@paulatullos4698]

If you have time, I would like to have something to show the ladies in the fabric dept. I’m assuming you are saying the fabric is on bolts. I looked on the end cap and cant find anything. Thank you!😍

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

The label in the fabric says, Farmhouse Gingham and the number is 1911528, I hope this helps 😊

[@paulatullos4698]

Thank you so much! I will go to my HL and ask where this fabric is located.

[@whitsknitsnstitches]

I look forward to watching your flosstubes! We have very similar styles and it's inspiring to see what you have bought or worked on. I was wondering what your oldest cross stitch is? Also do you have cross stitch plans for the hanging basket with tulips?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

My oldest cross stitch is the Eat Sleep Stitch by Lori Holt. I am planning to stitch Oh Hello Spring by Stitching with the Housewives to go on the basket. I stitched the fall truck that goes on the basket and have magnets on the other side. I figured while I didn’t have a piece ready for it I would turn it around and repurpose it. I have also done the same with my calendar crate finishing piece because I just haven’t had time to get the whole large piece done in the midst of other small pieces I have been wanting to finish.

[@whitsknitsnstitches]

@@sweetwaterstitcher thats such a great idea and thanks for responding!

[@laurastewartnoell]

Can you do a “beginners” lesson on how to decoupage? What paints do you use? Love your Flosstube!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I will add that to the list of ideas. I have bought the chalk paint they sell at Hobby Lobby and then used Deft clear wood finish semi-gloss spray at the end.

[@kathleenopperman5092]

Where did you get the color chart for the barn sweet barn ? I can’t find it anywhere !🤣 Am loving your videos, so creative

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

In the description box there should be a link to the Jolly Jabber which has the colors listed. They update it there each month with the new colors.

[@shelleyhamblen]

Great stitching! Love seeing your finishes. I enjoy stitching a lot of the same pieces you show. Was it paper you decoupaged on your smaller 141 house? And what color RIT dye did you use for the SWTH bunny chart?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Yes, I used scrapbook paper on my smaller house and I used the technique from Chantelle with 141 Design company. And for my bunny chart I used evening blue rit dye and then dunked it in just a tea dye before baking it a little. I didn’t have coffee to mix with the tea and I actually like it better then pieces I have done before because I think it didn’t turn out as dark.

[@shelleyhamblen]

@@sweetwaterstitcher thanks! Love Chantelle’s work! She is so creative. I love seeing what you have done with her pieces. The color of your fabric turned out great! Thank you for answering my questions. 🪡

[@elvishmyst]

You doing great on your videos I really enjoyed watching your first one and now your second one is just as good could you tell me the count of your Aida on the Lori holt tulips

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I used 25 count vintage cloth by Lori holt in the color cloud. If you haven’t tried it yet the stitch cards are a prefect project to try because they are so small.

[@mdeutsch3404]

How many strands of floss do you use for 11ct? What size needle? I grabbed some fabric at hobby lobby today. :)

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I used 4 strands and a size 24 needle. This fabric is the only one I use that size for so I just am using a DMC needle from either Michaels or Hobby Lobby because I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a needle I don’t use often.
