Flosstube #26 - Just Finish It Already! 2024 WIP Parade

[@NDQuilter1]

I am a 14 16 18 crunchy aida stitcher. My WIPs don't give me anxiety, so good for me!! Momma, you have a lot of patience today. Loved seeing all your beautiful stitching.

Love all your WIPS -I couldn't have as many as you have Brandi, my anxiety would be off the charts, even Emma's would give me a fit!! I took The Tiny Modernist Gingerbread House class during Jingle Ball & watched her make it - didn't look hard to do and her directions are AMAZINGLY clear, precise & had lots of photos. Now I'm sad I didn't buy the patterns for the rest of them!! Good luck on your 2025 plans, I'm still trying to figure mine out.

Ladies!!!!!!! This was so FUN to watch!! Gosh, you have some really great projects and can you just imagine how awesome your walls are going to look with these all hanging?!

[@bandestitchery]

I can’t wait for that day!!

[@helend.flosstube]

I always love seeing your wips! I'm a little nervous to pull mine out for a wip parade this month. 😬

[@bethanyrutta2377]

Please do! Or wait til the new year to spread out the goodness!! ❤

[@brandifarnsworth2138]

Cannot wait to see it!

[@homemadeontheridge]

Such a fun update!! Went and snagged Believe as soon as you showed it… love!!

[@kathyseeger]

Love all your wips! It would drive me crazy to leave a small amount to be stitched, I would have to finish it.

You can iron a piece after you've beaded it. Put a fluffy towel down on your ironing board, put the stitching on the fluffy towel face down, iron with a dry iron (no steam). I use a dry iron because sometimes the steam can have too much moisture and that'll cause the flosses to run. I usually lightly spritz with a bit of water out of a squirt bottle then iron right away so the flosses don't really have time to run. Spritz, iron, spritz, iron, spritz, iron. It's a bit of a balance to get the fabric wet enough that it will release the wrinkles, but not too wet that the floss colors run. (Fluffy towel will cradle the beads.) Good luck!

Thank you for the tip!

OMG you too are too much, thank god I was working from home today - you made me cry with your Disney story. LOVE the WIPS remember as long as you are below your age your good. Only a select few get to call me that and your two are absolutely in that group of people....just don't call me Jillian.

[@kellyroberts71]

Brandy! How about a New Years 12×12 where you work on one of those "almost done" WIPS every hour until you've finished them? ❤

[@bandestitchery]

I love this idea -Emma

I think your first yellow keeper is adorable! Not at all janky. Beautiful stitching! I love the skunk bag! So cute! Aww! The watermelon stitch is darling! I love focus stitching now! I’ve only used DMC and don’t think I’ll ever change 😂. I would have to finish some of those that are close! I understand savoring though! 😊the Nora Corbett is lovely! That drum will be adorable! I have never done a SAL 😂. I love the berries border! That Winter Manor is so close! You can do this! I’m the same. I don’t stitch much holiday or season. I will stitch winter and autumn. 😊 You can add a stripe of ribbon to fix that bag and wouldn’t have to deconstruct it first. Yeah. Full coverage and especially confetti are a no go for me. Just finish it! That would be cute! Love the hot air balloon! Congrats on your stitchiversary! 324 is so nice! I love the yellow and mint keeper! Stitch joy is perfect and love its bag! Love the blackberry stitch too and it’s keeper 🥰! Carolyn Manning is an awesome designer! Love the keepers. Ok. All your bags and stitches are amazing 😂. Super very fall 😂! Love the Sid reference! Yes! Thank you for sharing all this loveliness!! ❤sorry for my long comment.

[@brandifarnsworth2138]

Thank you for all your positive comments! You have to try a SAL they are fun

[@bethanyrutta2377]

@ I do! 😆

[@dianefromme8743]

I’m so glad you had a fun Disney trip! I’ll never go on Peter Pan again without thinking of the wallet. ❤ I’m down to the last section of the Halloween sampler plus half the boarder is done (those darn cats!). Hoping to finish in 2025! I figure if I put it out there it is more likely to come true. Loved the WIP parade!

[@HeatherKelly]

Ugh I had a ticket for JB but I had family come into town and I was just wiped out after they left. Sorry I issued y’all! I did make sure to go in and shop though 😂😂 I think there was only one shop I didn’t make a purchase 😂😂 However, I will see you both at The Library Stitchers retreat!!!!!!

[@DeeAZstitcher]

Fun Parade, nice work, great items & bags. Do you have a favorite count or brand? Is there a Brand or Color you want to try next? 10-Day Focus sounds doable. It's always Missy's fault. lol

[@bandestitchery]

My favorite count is 32 lugana by Atomic Ranch! But I really want to try Ale by PTP

[@pattihenshaw5664]

You guys make me want to go to Disney !!! I have to ask where did u get your stitching Christmas shirt .?

[@brandifarnsworth2138]

My sister made the shirt but there is a lady on instagram who makes stitching shirts. Stitching goddess designs

[@UntwistyourStitches]

I am sorry I do not want to seem judgey but how can you stop when you are so close to a finish. That would drive me crazy. It just makes me flinch to see a piece right on the edge of done. I will sit extra just to get it done.
