[@sofialucero3821]

Wendy, you are such a joy to watch !! Great projects & haul. See you next time.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks so much!

[@stitchingbettynos]

I want to see you start the falling snow, I think it's called? The colorful houses! Loved seeing all your stitchy stuff. 🌼🌼🌼🧡

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks! Yeah, I've been thinking about getting back to that one too! It deserves some stitches!

[@blg4260]

You are a Hoot ! I love watching your funny videos. Keep em going. I also loved your project that you started with the finishing first. Putting the orange fabric for the fish, it’s a great idea.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Oh my gosh - the summer got away from me and I completely forgot to start that one! ha, ha! I guess I might be starting a summer pattern during the Halloween season. LOL

[@leathahoneycutt9060]

I love seeing your kits, but your laughter and personality is what will keep me coming back. You are a hoot 🦉 lol 😂

[@MatrixStitcher]

Aww! Thank you!

[@lindamcivor8486]

You just popped up and I’m really enjoying your kit parade so then I will go and watch your other two episodes.

[@hong-chautran-hoang5664]

Hello friend in California! Thanks so much for watching!

[@bettylhalter4575]

OMG I had forgotten that cartoon. See ya Ralph. Good night Fred. OMG Thanks for the memory. Good times.

[@MatrixStitcher]

I'm glad that means the cartoon was real and I didn't just imagine it! ha, ha, ha!

[@therunnerstitcher]

Another great video! Thanks for sharing your kits! Always make me laugh in these videos so thank you for that :)

[@MatrixStitcher]

Awww! Thanks Andrew! 🙂

[@TheCrossStitchGuy]

I enjoyed looking at your patterns! I even found some that I added to my never ending list. I love the wooden piece with the fish. It looks amazing!

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks! Oh my gosh - I got so distracted by other cross stitch stuff that I completely forgot about that fish one! ha, ha, ha! I'm out of control over here!

[@lynntone9369]

I saw your first floostube and then your second. Your second was louder and all around better. I look forward to seeing more of you.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks so much!

[@rosetree626]

Hi Wendy~I loved watching this and I am very much looking forward to your next one!

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thank you! 🙂

[@nicolegoulet6110]

Presently I’m doing « Ginger observer » and yet colors are so vibrant and the thread doesn’t break at all. I love it.

[@MatrixStitcher]

That's awesome! I may just have to break into that kit tonight!

[@lindamcivor8486]

You just popped up and I’m really enjoying your kit parade so then I will go and watch your other two episodes. I love your shark bag.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks so much! And welcome! 🙂

[@pamelarouth4758]

[@betzlina]

Love your sense of humor about all of the patterns and fabrics. The angry friends is hilarious.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks!

[@lauragissenas2957]

Love all your kits. I have stitched the rocky point light house. I put it between two Meribella mermaids. Love birds and flower patterns. Happy stitching.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks! Oh, that's a great way to display the light house. 🙂

[@TheStitchingOwl]

You have a lovely collection of kits that will surely keep you busy for quite a while. Thank you for sharing. 🦉🧵🪡

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks!

[@JillPoteat-fd5xi]

Enjoyed seeing you again. I love the kits and patterns you showed. It would be hard to decide what to do next.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks!

[@dlake9609]

You are a hoot! Loved watching your kit parade and your great sense of humor!

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thank you!

[@wyattack06]

So glad I found you, enjoyed all that you shared! I also just purchased Dimensions Rocky Point , so it stitch and had to purchase it . Going back to watch your first video! Thanks , Kim ☀️

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thank you!! It's too bad those Dimensions models don't go on tour so we could see them in person. LOL! 🙂

[@marymarino8775]

Love your video and seeing all your kits. Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks!

[@paintbrushpuke]

so happy to see another upload! i love all your stories so much :D

[@MatrixStitcher]

Yay! Thank you!!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Wendy! I am watching on my TV, and listening with my AirPods. The audio is great! Loved your glitch story! I would have been sooo creeped out! 👻 Your class pieces are so pretty! I took a framing class once, but never a finishing class like that. I will be interested in hearing what you think! That Deadly Aquarium is really amazing. Wow! I have only stitched one Riolis kit, and really liked to floss provided too. I was also obsessed with lions as a kid. I had a stuffed one named Liony that was my very favorite thing in the whole world 😂🦁❤ I did not realize Michael’s sold Dimensions kits online! Their in store cross stitch section is so tiny now that I never would have thought! I literally had to grab a piece of paper and a pen to make a wish list off of this video 🫣 I, of course, want to comment on literally everything you showed, but will cut myself off here. 😂 I hope you have a great week ahead of you! Happy stitching! ♥️

[@MatrixStitcher]

Hi Megan! Thanks for the great comments - yeah, Michaels has a TON of cross stitch stuff online. Make those sales work for you! ha, ha! Thanks for letting me know about the audio - I was afraid I was blowing people's ears out with my outbursts of laughter. 😀

[@beckyjohnson9917]

I really enjoy watching your floss tubes! Your kits so inspire me, also you are a great storyteller. Thank you for sharing I appreciate all you do.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thank you!

[@gaylegerkey7584]

You have a wonderful collection to work with! I love your laugh and I’m so glad I found your channel. I learned so much from Brian when I picked up stitching again. I look forward to following your progress!

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thank you!

[@barbaraburdett9594]

Wonderful projects!

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thank you!

[@mizscarlettdragon]

Love your kits. A lot of the kits that is usually retail is the designer gives permission for so long or a certain amount of quantities.

[@MatrixStitcher]

AH! That makes sense! I had a fantasy of official Dimensions employees who sat in a giant building and just designed their patterns. ha, ha! I wanted to tour the Dimensions factory and watch the designers working away behind a big glass wall. 😀 (I think I watched too many cartoons as a kid!)

[@mamabear.stitching]

I love your shark bag! Glad you had a good time at midsummer stitch, I hope that means you'll be at the jingle ball in December too.

[@MatrixStitcher]

YES!! I've already taken those days off work (before and after) for Jingle Ball 2024. Can't wait!!! I heard Steph is thinking of doing smaller get togethers more often, too!!!

[@mamabear.stitching]

@@MatrixStitcher oh that's exciting to hear, I love these events.

[@avaallen7117]

Cindy Sorley at Stitchery X-Press.com has Blue Opalescence in her shop. Reqlly enjoyed seeing all your projects and kits. Looking forward to your next flosstube. I love seeing haul. I have a wish list and keep adding to it; please keep sharing your haul.

[@MatrixStitcher]

OOOH! Thanks for the hot tip! I will definitely be checking her out!

[@KineStarkiller]

As someone who has been putting off starting a Mirabilia for two years now (I'm afraid to mess up), I'd say go with the Mirabilia. She will look amazing.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks - yeah, I've really been wanting to start her!

[@jfbraverman]

Lad to catch up with you and your beautiful work! I love the colors of Fall, most of my wardrobe is in the fall pallet.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks!

[@therockingstitcher]

Thank you for sharing! Wild spirit by Merejka is now on my wishlist, well actually it’s in my basket, I’m just scared to spend the money. But I vote you start that! I heard from my sil that it’s amazing in real life.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks so much! Yes, that kit is so pretty, I keep going to visit it on my shelves, trying to get the courage to open it. LOL

[@biadoras]

Since you asked for it ;) I think you should start the bird one that was the four seasons, the one you talked about maybe use four different fabrics. Merejka kits looks so lovely. I got some, but have yet to stitch one.

[@MatrixStitcher]

Thanks! Yes, my wheels got turning looking at that kit again. It really is pretty!

[@Mrs.AZfamilyzooStitches]

So many great kits! I love bird stitches and love that you have the Chickadee one in one of my bags! Thank you for sharing. If you have time drop a comment on my Flosstube 11 with your channel name. I asked flosstubers to comment and I'll do shout outs when I film Flosstube 12. I want to be sure to mention your new channel! Really enjoyed seeing all the kits and wips!🎉

[@MatrixStitcher]

Oh yay! Thanks so much! I'll definitely pop back over. 🙂 I might have to rewatch your video to get another look at those quilts!

[@Mrs.AZfamilyzooStitches]

@@MatrixStitcher Thanks! Glad to pass along your new channel next time.💖🧵🎉

[@elizabethswhatsup]

You are the cutest!

[@MatrixStitcher]

Aww thanks!

[@elgie.L.]

I vote for the ducks to get started! I also have a vintage water fowl pattern in mind that I would like to start. Stitch with me? ... And now I started thinking about how to bling those not-ducks up. Beads? Metallics? 1 over 1? Whisper?

[@MatrixStitcher]

Yes! Let's do it! Ducks rule! 🙂 Which pattern do you have? Sparkly, metal birds sounds hilarious. Whisper thread would be good for birds that have fluffy legs. LOL

[@elgie.L.]

@@MatrixStitcher Awesome 😁I was thinking of Duck Tales by Mary Hickmott, it's available in her Etsy store. I should have the materials to start, but of course the bling has to be figured out along the way 😄 Do you have any plans for when you would like to start?

[@MatrixStitcher]

@@elgie.L. Oh wow!! That pattern is gorgeous! I love how she did all their reflections in the water, too. I wonder if metallic thread would make the water look shimmery? But I would never suggest anyone use that much metallic thread unless they really wanted to. That stuff is no fun to work with. LOL As for when to start…hmmm. I have the fabric already, but I’m starting to worry that the kit threads are too old and dried up to use. I might switch it out for dmc if I can match it up. Should we start early fall, maybe? When do you want to start? Should we start a hashtag and invite anyone who wants to stitch ducks to join us?

[@elgie.L.]

​@@MatrixStitcher Yes, let's do a hashtag and invite anyone who wants to join. I'm in no hurry to start, early autumn sounds good. Beginning of October for example. So everyone will have time to get their ducks in a row 😂 She really has done a good job with the reflections, it's stitched with different colours in the top and bottom legs of the stitch, and a variegated blue. Never seen anything like it before. How fun, nice to find new stitchy friends 😊

[@MatrixStitcher]

@@elgie.L. “Ducks in a row” - LOL!!! Beginning of October sounds good! (Especially since a lot of folks will be doing sampler September and might not have time to start ours.) I’ll say something in my next flosstube and try to figure out how to get it put on the Salendar as well. 😀 What do you think for a hashtag? We could do something silly like #youquackmeupSAL? Ha, ha, ha! Yay! This will be so fun!

[@astar3849]

Lakeside needleworks usually has loads of opals in blues and other colours but its in the uk, worth a look and they respond to email so if they cant ship it they may be able to direct you somewhere in the u s of a

[@MatrixStitcher]

Oh, thanks so much for the tip! I'll check them out. 🙂

[@astar3849]

@@MatrixStitcher actually i saw your next video and think you found a shop that does the same thing with exclusive fabric flair ones, but still of youre anything like me youll browse rhrough the whole website haha x
