[@karenhuerter343]

Shellie I so look forward to catching up with all your stitching adventures each time the notification pops up. Thanks so much! The Hester Van Dorn pattern is just beautiful.

[@jeanninesheridan8703]

Shellie, I have to share about my pattern loss. I am a crocheter. My little sister saw a wedding dress in my magazine and commented that “that’s the wedding dress I want”. She was all of 13, but something made me order the pattern….7 yrs later, engaged, she asked if I remembered the wedding dress in the magazine. Why yes, and I have the pattern, so mom bought the yarn and I got busy crocheting, with the front done, and one sleeve done, the back up to the arm scythe done, I went looking for the pattern……..NO!…(my toddler daughter was fascinated with the flipper trash lid, and I decided that had to be where the pattern went). I couldn’t replace the pattern, so I got to figure out the finish….with lots of prayers, I was able to finish, she looked beautiful. I still remember that feeling. I have not lost a pattern in the last 40+ yrs. Love your channel

[@reader1869]

Happy one year anniversary! I love seeing a new video from you. I think you already radiate kindness! Can’t wait to see what you have in your baskets. Happy stitching and feel better soon! Liberty, bee, Hester

[@patriciaraether5884]

Really enjoyed this Flosstube! But, I always love each one you do. I'm so sorry to hear you fell and glad that you are on the way to feeling better. Wish I lived closer because I could have handed you your Christmas decorations, for you to put away. Hope you aren't experiencing the cold, cold weather! Wishing you and your family have a happy and healthy 2024!!! Greetings from California. Liberty

[@glendamorrow618]

I’m so glad you were not seriously injured and pray for a speedy recovery! Bee liberty

[@lindajohnson9164]

Feel better! Hester. Happy anniversary!

[@shellyberan4661]

Wow!!! I LOVE that blue sampler with the bird!!!! Hester bee and my house is red white and blue and the liberty pattern would be perfect!

[@deborahgoethe362]

I’ll be Hester bee!! Many prayers for a fast healing!

[@juliesutton8128]

I love your video. You have such a calming voice and your projects are beautiful. Thank you for sharing all the things. ❤️ We use the word kindness a lot in my kindergarten class. I hope my little ones take that with them more than anything. 🥰 Liberty.

[@SuperMacmom]

I remember when you and Liz first did the first video. So many things I’ve seen and bought since then! Congratulations!!! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge of so many stitchy things. Hester, bee, liberty.

[@angelamartin4812]

Thank you for a wonderful year of floss tube! I look forward to many more 😊 I enjoy hearing stitch updates from what you are working on to information on guilds. I will be checking into that. The Hester and Bee charts look fun! Rest and recover from that fall.

[@CindyMJ1986]

[@stitchingscottie4505]

Happy One Year Flossiversary! Really enjoyed watching today's video and looking forward to seeing lots of kitted up projects. Your granny square afghan is beautiful when it is finished. Thanks so much for explaining in detail about the Queen's City Guild. I will also be attending the Nicola Parkman retreat and am so excited as I have tried to get in one of her classes for three years. Lisa was so sweet to assist me since I live in SC. I look forward to seeing you again (we met at Amana) and hopefully at the My Life is a Sampler retreat (I'm on the waitlist). I will be looking forward to receiving the Queen City's newsletter. Going now to check out their website. Happy Stitching! Dottie

[@patsyowens7365]

Happy Anniversary sure hope this one of many years to come. I look forward to your floss tubes. You have such a KIND heart! ❤️❤️ you have encouraged me to pick up some of my other hobbies. I haven’t knitted in about 25 years, I couldn’t believe how it automatically came back. Your finishes were beautiful! Loved all three charts Hester, the Bee and Liberty… I am stitching on “Ellis Holiday 1809”, Flight into Egypt such pretty colors and so much fun to stitch on these cold winter days. Blessings and healing !

[@shinglespringsstitcher]

❤. Love your kindness year plans! I hope you heal!!! Hester, Bee, liberty.

[@tamimorgan1487]

oh Shellie- so glad you were not hurt too seriously! Hopefully you will rest and feel better soon! Don’t feel bad- I didn’t fall and I still have my Christmas decorations up. I usually put them away slowly the month of January. The last thing to get put away is the tree. 😊 I like to enjoy all the pretty decorations for as long as I can🤪🥰. Hester looks like a beautiful stitch! Bee is a cute little handy bag and liberty looks fun too. Thank you so much for sharing! Happy stitching!

[@marytomasi3132]

Happy anniversary. Hope you're feeling better soon. Hester. Liberty.

[@marylou5209]

When I do some kindness for someone, I always feel so blessed . I gain so much more than the recipients. Like you I am usually up a couple of hours before the rest. Thats my favorite time of day. Ester, bee, ĺiberty

[@deniset1645]

I would love the busy pouch. It caught my eye right away! My family calls my sweet 2 year old granddaughter BEE! Her name is Norah but when she was born her big brother (2 at the time), Jackson, called her beebee. We shortened it to 🐝 ! Love your show!

[@janeseevers2274]

Good to see you! Hope you are feeling better and better every day! Hester has been on my list for a while so I’d love that pattern So, Hester, Hester, Hester!!! Thanks Shellie!

So glad to see you again. Love all of your work. Happy New Year. Hester Bee liberty

[@Tgrdina]

Congratulations on your anniversary!! I’ve watched you since day 1 and really enjoy your beautiful stitching. I’m on board with kindness. Our oldest daughter won the kindest person award at school and we told her that one meant more to us than any other. ❤ Being kind is easy and I’m going to try and do more like you are. Finally, I enjoy the 4th of July celebrating liberty and the summer bee that chases us around!! PS. I hope you recover soon from your fall. 🙏🏼

[@thread.needle.scissorsstcl9537]

[@lorieden9774]

Another Lovely video. The grocery store is where I give a lot of service. People can't reaching items, bagging groceries for a moms with a crying babies that don't have a free hand, taking people in to buy a meal who are outside looking for help. My word (first word for me) is Intentional. Liberty and Bee. Thank you for sharing

[@Okie_Stitches]

Liberty Hester Glad to see you back!!

[@elaineedwards9816]

Another great video- hard to believe it’s been a year already! Glad that your neck is feeling better. They used to have a quilting bee at my church but all those women have passed away too. Thanks for taking the time to share your stitching with us. Liberty

[@cletawaldron8623]

BEE, liberty and Hester! I seem to have the opposite problem, Shellie! I order patterns that I already have… I must really love them! Thanks for the uplifting video! ❤

[@nolamcneely7857]

Hello from Tennessee! I'm so sorry to hear about your back and neck pains! I'm praying you'll be feeling better really soon sweet lady. 🩵🩵🩵. This mornings stitching was wonderful with you today. Your stitching is just so beautiful. 😊 Thank you for being so generous with us all too. 💙💙💙 ,( hester, bee ) Your Afghan looks so festive. Thank you for the tip with the hooks. My hubby wanted me to teach him and whew it's hard to teach someone to not crochet too tight. 😂😂 He's moved on to cross stitch.... Lots easier to teach. 😊😊. Happy anniversary to your channel. 🎉🎉

[@CynthiaMcAmityVintageAndCraft]

A whole year already? Congratulations, I have enjoyed every one of your videos! Very glad you were not seriously injured, and I hope your remaining stiffness and pain heal soon. Such lovely projects, especially your sweet crochet afghan. I would love to stitch Hester or Liberty ❤
