FlossTube 27 - Finally a Finish!

[@stephaniewingett2173]

Great to see you again! I loved stitching Luda. I couldn't put her down either. Giving you a big hug for your mom's birthday. I lost mine 18 years ago and all of the "special" days are still especially hard. x

[@clotheslinecraftscaroline2446]

Lovely to see you and catch up. Congratulations on your finish of Luda, she is beautiful and so sparkly with all those beads. Enjoy the retreat. xx

[@thesoapystitcher2987]

So nice to see you! Congrats on the finish…she’s beautiful. Love hearing about all of your stitchy friends! It’s so cool how Flosstube has helped everyone connect as a community

[@cotterillfamily7355]

So good to catch up with you - I do remember your quadrant system, and I think it’s really clever because it doesn’t pigeon hole you into one kind of project. Congrats on finishing your Mira project, that’s a grand accomplishment! Vincent Fleming sounds like an absolute darling, I hope you can meet up with him again next year with your project 😊 I’m glad you were able to speak about your mum on her special day, the firsts are always so difficult so i hope you and your dad were a great comfort to each other xxx take care, Nic x

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

So sweet of you as always! I appreciate the kind words! Hope you have a fabulous stitching month and enjoy the beautiful weather as the seasons change ☺️💕

[@Aever1988]

How fun to be able to meet and do a cross stitch of one of your favourite artists!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

It’s been so nice to see Mr. Fleming and his art in person over the years, his paintings are spectacular up close!

[@qteestitcher]

Luda is really spectacular!!! Definitely frame it !! The colors are intense and the fabric choice is perfect!! I hope to have a Mirabilia completed some day!! Your stitching is gorgeous ❤ You and Fiber Arts Amy are two of a kind, beautiful finishes always!!

[@craftsohard]

Luda is absolutely stunning! I recently found your channel because of my deep dive into Dimensions and other kits. I love your videos. Whoever told you that you talk too much is not okay. You are wonderful!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you!! ☺️💕🌷

[@sweetstitchesbylaur2433]

I’ve always loved those Jardin Privé Histoires du Moutin patterns. They’re on my 123stitch wishlist. Beautiful Mira finish!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thanks! There are just sooooo many pretty patterns, hard to hold back wanting to start them all!

[@AdventuresOfStitching]

Beautiful finish!!🎉 And I loved the progress update too! It is wonderful to hear how much you enjoy your job 😊 what a blessing that is! 🗺️ 🪡 📺 🎀

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Aww, thank you Alicia!! Yes, my job is fantastic and I do feel very blessed ☺️💕. Hope you’re getting lots of stitching done, love all your recent new starts!

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finish and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

[@MsKarenMR]

Really Good to see you! Always enjoy seeing your wips . Love that I have alot of wips...more the merrier. Thanks so very much for Sharing. Happy Stitching!!❤

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

I go back and forth on my WIP count… one minute I think I have WAY too many, then soon after I want to start ALL the things!! 😂 I know they won’t all get done but I do hope to get more finishes than starts eventually ☺️💕

[@debglastetter851]

Great to see you again. I love your progress on all your stitching. I enjoyed you update.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you!! I hope you’re getting lots of stitching done! ☺️💕

[@DonnaSteed-d8k]

Enjoyed your show and also enjoy going to Festival of the Little Hills in August. Your work is inspiring and beautiful.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you!! Glad you also enjoy Festival of the Little Hills! I was bummed when it was cancelled during COVID, but this year felt finally back to normal. I never miss it! ☺️💕

[@luckychancestitcher]

Love luda! She is so beautiful!! Let me know when you pick up sewing cats again and I will stitch mine with you!😊

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Awesome!!! I’ll let you know! And then I still want to tackle my Joan Elliott Princess of the Snows, I think that would be a great winter piece to work on ☺️💕

[@magnolianana1552]

So happy to see you and catch up on your stitching 🤗🩵Luda is gorgeous!! What a fabulous finish! Enjoy your fall and all your projects 🧵🪡🍁🧡

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thanks!! I hope you enjoy fall stitching as well, I’m very excited for the cooler autumn weather coming! ☺️💕

[@sharonmarie66]

Glad the job has worked out, I enjoyed your update, thinking of you as you remember your dear mum, it can’t be easy .. ❤

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thanks for the kind words ☺️💕 I know we must all go through these hard times. Going through it has made me more compassionate to others who are also going through losing a loved one. My mother is still teaching me how to love others, even in her absence ☺️💕

[@sharonmarie66]

@@NeedleberryStitcher everything in life is a lesson I believe. The people we meet, the hardships, the losses, giving.. everything. Have a good week ahead x

[@epworthglynn7544]

Good to see you. Your finished piece is beautiful. I need to get my WIPS down also, but I keep staring new things. Enjoy seeing your WIPS and haul.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

I think as long as we are enjoying our stitching then maybe there’s no such thing as too many WIPs ☺️💕

[@honeybunnystitchery]

Lovely stitching as always and excited you will be doing the quad again. I enjoyed meeting you this summer at the day stitch in from Keepsakes. I was the awkward fan who recognized you and was like hey! lol. But also wanted to send a hug for you and warm thoughts for your mom. I remember that first birthday for my dad and I think I was out of sorts all that month long. So you did really amazing with getting a video together. I won't say time makes it easier but it does give you practice with getting through certain special but difficult days. ❤

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

I remember you!! So glad you introduced yourself and also that you are connecting that introduction here with your KZbin handle so now I know who you are! ☺️💕 Thanks for the kind words, and I’m sorry you lost your Dad, the pain never truly goes away but the tears don’t flow as often. ❤️❤️

[@owlandgatorstitcher]

Congrats on the finish-Luda looks amazing!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing you soon! ☺️💕

[@scienceknitster]

Was so excited to see a new video from you. OMG…your Luda is GORGEOUS! I’m late to the Tiny Town party…I just started collecting them this summer with A Honey of and Seaside, but now I want them ALL! Lol! I also love sheep and have been eyeing some of the Jardin Prive charts, but haven’t purchased any yet. Sending ((HUGS!)) in honor of your Mom’s birthday. I lost my mother almost 30 years ago…for me it was more the anniversary of her passing that was hard rather than her birthday for quite a long time. Wishing you all the best!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

I love that you are a fellow sheep-lover! 😍. And aren’t the Tiny Towns the sweetest, I love them! Sorry to hear you lost your Mom so young, it’s not easy at any age, but a reminder that I am so blessed that I had to many years with her. Happy stitching and I’m looking forward to your next update video ☺️💕

[@mimisstitchery4374]

So nice to see you again! You finish looks spectacular!!!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thanks!! Hope you’re doing well stitchy friend ☺️💕

[@Geewhiz65]

Happy to see you, Catherine! Let me know if/when you start Strawberry Fields. I have that one knitted, but recent SALS of that project haven't worked for me. ❤

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Oh that sounds like fun!! I might have to kit it up ASAP, it’s been calling to me! I’ll let you know once I’ve got everything and I’m ready to start 👍😃

[@stitchyfolklorist]

Always great to see your flosstubes. You speak French with a French-Canadian accent! “Histoire” can mean either history or story in English. I love your Luda, and in fact all of the things that you work on. I hope the memory of your mom will bring you comfort.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

AH, you’re right, Story - of course! There proves “I’m not bilingual” 😂. I’ll correct in a future video. ☺️💕

[@debbiemartin9838]

I just found your channel and really enjoyed it. Your finish and all your WIPS are beautiful and your stitches look so perfect. Thanks for sharing.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thank you so much for watching, I’m so glad you enjoyed seeing my projects! I’m not a “polished” FlossTuber, I just like to talk and show my stuff, and connect with other stitchers! ☺️💕

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Great to see your video…you are right, there are many friends to be made through flosstube. I just started my flosstube so the journey is just beginning but already I feel the sense of community. Your finish is exquisite…well worth framing. Those tiny towns make cute drums…I am doing Halloween to show on my next video. Have a great day!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Ooh!!! I just subscribed to your channel and I can’t wait to watch your videos! Thanks for sharing with me that you have a channel! Your screen grab on your latest video is gorgeous!! ☺️💕

[@TheStitchingOwl]

@@NeedleberryStitcher thank you so much for checking me out. I am early in flosstubing but having great fun.

[@katgriffin52]

Love that finish!!! I also love the cats, and it's sold out at the shop I first looked at :-( I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Thanks so much for watching!! I got the Sewing Cats pattern on Etsy from SodaStitch as a digital download, you might try that! It’s such a fun one to stitch, the cats are so fun and cute ☺️💕

[@margaretbaker623]

Hi Kathryn. Yes, birthdays are always hard. So glad for you that you have stitchy friends now. It took me years to find one and through her I now go to a monthly meet-up an hour away. Your Luda is stunning and I'm sure Charlotte was well received at the retreat! Re your chair. Have you considered replacing the gas cylinder? x⚘️

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

I might need to look into that ☺️

[@deborahwatkins1493]

I actually live in the sikeston MO area so we are not to far away. I am hoping to go to color and cottons shop this October.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

You are very close by, that’s awesome!! You’ll love the fabric and floss selections at the store! ☺️💕

[@kathyn4267]

I missed you. I bought 2 project bags. The chiefs and the vintage ladies. It's my birthday next month so it is a birthday present.i have been working on the same project since July 1. Christmas in July. It is Christmas Delivery. There's a few errors in my stitching but it looks good. Hopefully I can make more progress on it. I get sidetracked by floss tube.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

You are so sweet to buy project bags from CoryCreates! Thanks for helping to support a fellow stitcher! I love that you’re working on a Christmas project, I might need to pull something festive out next month and see if I can get a Christmas finish! I get sidetracked by FlossTube also 😂. Happy stitching! ☺️💕

[@Attia1701]

Black bird lady does look Halloweeny, id stitch it on a modled grey to give it a stormy look like she is fleeing in the night

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

Oooh!! I love that idea!! Might steal it 😉💕

[@Attia1701]

@@NeedleberryStitcher Do it! I suggested it in hopes that it would appeal to you 😜

[@kirrilycampbell7910]

Congratulations on a finish she looks amazing. I always enjoy your videos, you are great company when stitch in the morning. I love your quad idea, maybe I will try your method also. I too have a lot of wips and would like to get the number down and feel frustrated when I am monogamous as the others aren’t being touched. I also haven’t filmed in awhile either as life has been in the way.

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

I’m looking forward to your next update, but totally understand how life gets busy. I find I have to be in the mood for it, and lately I just haven’t been 😂. I still haven’t gotten back to TW Noah’s Ark… I hope you’ve made more progress than me ☺️💕

[@kirrilycampbell7910]

@@NeedleberryStitcher for all my grand plans I have not touched my TW Storyteller either. I have just needed something easy to work on so one of my long dog samplers has had major attention. So I am thinking my Quad will be a HAED, a Mirabilias/Bella Philipina, a Longdog Sampler, and a piece that just needs finishing ie backstitching or beading.

[@sarahkay8784]

Louda is gorgeous!! I can’t wait to see it in person. I’m bringing all my finished Mira’s to the retreat. No better place to bring out all 24 of my pixies and 8 larger pieces I’ve done over the years plus few WIP’s. I had hoped to bring Lavender Mist completed but the last two months have been full of too much life getting in the way. I may be at the beading stage and it might be a great place to bead her there. At a table. No cat to help! I can’t believe it’s so close now!! I’m very sorry again for the loss of your mom! It’s been 30 odd years since I lost mine, her birthday and the day of her passing are always extra emotional. I usually buy her favorite flowers and have a piece of cake/cupcake on her birthday. It’s a nice little remembrance and celebration . I’m going to drop you a message on instagram with my phone number, if that is ok, because I don’t want to miss you at the retreat. I have a little something for you!!

[@NeedleberryStitcher]

I can’t wait to see all your Mira finishes!!! 😍😍😍. And I can’t wait to meet up with you! It’s going to be such a fun weekend! ☺️💕
