Flosstube# 27 Market haul, catching up and a new SAL!!

[@marciaclifford7107]

Glad you got this one in, too, Rachel. Thanks for the inspiration and a project to stitch that honors our history.

[@desireepheister2633]

Wow! You are an enabler! So many great things to stitch! Dirty Teacup is my favorite. Thank you for your creativity. I know you really work hard at all you produce, but you give us stitchers such joy with your linens. Thank you so much!

[@candrasowder8236]

The words under God were not added to the pledge until the 50s...so there's that. Boy, your collection of charts is massive! May You live long enough to do half! You are a great inspiration to the stitching community. Between you and Carol Saltbox, we could see everything there is to stitch! Thank you!!!

[@raggedygene1770]

Happy Belated Birthday! Love your market choices!!

[@dianekrueger1413]

So great to hear from you again! Sorry to hear about your dog and daughter’s illness…sending big hugs. I just found your channel, so kept myself busy binge watching all of your episodes 😂

[@pamelapalmer1250]

I love love love the Martha Washington video. I’m really looking forward to the next one. I am sure it takes tons of work but as a stitcher, I am thankful for your time you put into the information. Again thank you

[@leathahoneycutt9060]

Happy, Happy Birthday 🎂 I am absolutely loving your First Lady videos. I love history and I am also a stitcher. You have a special talent of talking about the First Ladies that keeps attention and makes it all come to life. I catch myself scrolling and looking for your next video 😊. I also am telling my husband everything that you are teaching me. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@chrisrahall623]

Thank you for all your time and knowledge that you are willing to share with us. I love all the charts you shared. I am just getting back into stitching after a 34 year break. I am overwhelmed with such wonderful charts and fabric. I just don’t know where to begin. I now stitch on 14 count trying to get to the higher counts. I am very glad to have found you flosstube. Have a great day I will be watching your First Ladies can’t wait

[@dalenewilkinson934]

Love the First Ladies series. Can't wait for the next one. Your fabric is beautiful!

[@kathyeaton6011]

I just love stitching to your voice! Thanks, have an awesome day!🤗

[@carolfawcett1297]

Happy Birthday! I loved seeing all of the patriotic patterns you showed and want to stitch! Loved Martha Washington and I am really looking forward to Abigail Adams! I am very sorry you lost your dog and hope your daughter is doing much better.

[@reneepatrick1579]

Love your videos. I have told my non-stitching friends about your First Lady videos. I am enjoying them so much. Your daughter did a great job on your hair.💕🌸🧵🪡

[@kellierikard6696]

So grateful you’re doing 1st ladies series. I love history. Contemplating purchasing the massive chart.

[@carmentaylor3706]

Your hair looks fabulous your daughter did an awesome job. Happy belated birthday! 🎉I’m so loving the 1st ladies series you’re doing thank you for that. Sorry for the loss of of your fur baby our oldest probably won’t last that long either and I’m trying to get ready for that but I don’t think you actually can. They are such a big part of our family and we love them so much. Anyway thank you for all you do for this community.

[@sandersida]

I love the First Ladies series, you make them so interesting. All the patriotic charts are so beautiful, I want to stitch them all!

[@BrandiTalmadge]

Loved seeing all the patriotic charts - I was unaware of the 13 colonies by Little House needleworks - LOVE IT! I’m headed online to source it and will be joining the first ladies SAL. I’m really enjoying and learning a lot from your series on the first ladies, thank you Rachel. Have a blessed day! 🥰

[@sallydiehm9327]

So many beautiful charts to stitch while watching First Ladies. Thanks for all the suggestions.

[@barbarahouser]

Rachel, I've gotten so far behind on watching FlossTube but I am back to catch up with all the videos I've missed. I was excited to see this edition as you start The First Ladies Club series. I gasped when you started talking (& showing) the chart by Lila's Studio, "Let Freedom Ring"....I started this project in the Spring and am almost finished...only have to do the backstitching on the building to be done! I cannot wait to finish and take it to the framer. It was hard not to get burned out on "the beast" but I knew that it would be worth all the work. Thank you for confirming my thoughts and cheering me on to the Finish Line!! Christmas and Patriotic charts are my favorites. Thank you so much for sharing your time, talent, inspiration, chart parades, WIPS, and beautiful linen with us! I hope to be caught up with your episode by the weekend. xoxo

[@julievanderheide5794]

Hi Rachel. Another great video! I loved all the charts you showed today. Wow! So many I want to stutch! Happy Belated Birthday. Can't wait for next week and the next First Lady video! Take care!

[@barbarasimmons7637]

I do hope your daughter is all better. What a worry! Thank you for so many patriotic suggestions! My pencil was going like crazy! I loved the Martha video! In fact,thanks to you, I read a book you mentioned and will be sharing it with my book group! Really looking forward to Abigail!!

[@sewhappy10000]

So glad I found you!! Love to stitch and listen to your First Ladies tubes or just whatever! Thanks! Mol

[@inkyangel]

Love seeing all the Patriotic patterns and I love your mug.

[@lorriemoreau8894]

I really enjoyed Martha’s video and am very much looking forward to all the upcoming First Ladies. I hope this next week is much better for you. I have a 17+ year old dog that is not doing great so my heart felt sympathy to you for your loss. It’s always so hard. I’m watching this on Saturday night and when you said you were restocking some fabric this weekend I couldn’t hit pause fast enough 😂 yes! 46 count dirty teacup 🎉 Take care xx

[@luannwidlowski3687]

I love the First Lady videos! Thank you for making them. I’m going to start patriot stitching for sure after seeing all your great ideas.

[@meganquinn7646]

I’m so glad that I found your channel! I thoroughly enjoyed your Martha Washington video! It was informative and I learned so much! I saw two historical figures as people with lives and not just names in a history book. I can’t wait to watch your other videos!

[@kckoehler1766]

My first time listening to you & I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m inspired 🇺🇸! Thank you.

[@kristinejellum6289]

Another great video! I know I’ve commented how much I enjoy your First Ladies videos…and because I like them so much is why I’m glad you are not going to rush them. Also I loved your mug. My mugs are all huge like that. Kris

[@vanessa-qh8xm]

Oh my, I just started cross stitching again after more than ten years, and I'm just amazed at the patterns and dyed fabrics available. I love, love, love patriotic decor, so your video today touched my heart! I made notes and can tell my bank account is going to take a hit just ordering patriotic patterns and linen! Thank you for sharing all of your projects and patterns.

[@ronnieg4301]

I find you recently and I am hooked! I love the First Ladies series and your presentation of the material. I enjoyed seeing the patriotic sampler suggestions to stitch during the series. I ordered Sweet Land of Liberty and Baltimore Saltbox and will decide which one to stitch when I receive them. I have a magazine from 1862, named "Peterson's Magazine". There is a pattern in the magazine for a Pendant Pin-Cushion which I am going to stitch as well. The magazine has quite a few patterns and lots of patterns for embroidering on shoes. I look forward to the next episode of First Ladies and your regular flosstube.

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

I'm so behind on my Flosstube viewing but glad to download this video and the one on Abigail. You kept me entertained from Denver to San Diego. Hope everyone is doing better and that you're finding time to stitch.

[@janekenyon8455]

I'm hoping to get a lot of patriotic stitching done to make in memory of my dad. Love your floss tube.

[@nanhendrickson5012]

Love all those patriotic charts!! Thanks for the great ideas.

[@stitchingincostume]

Such a great long video... I love stitching and catching up with Rachel! Really looking forward to the next first ladies installment. I have that fabulous Blackbird book and it may be time for me to pull it out and start something from it. I love Salute to Abigail but I may opt for a small. So happy to see your stitching!🌷

[@barbarafoster9030]

Happy belated birthday, Rachel! I love, love, LOVE you and your channel! Really looking forward to your Abigail Adams segment.

[@teresajenningsoldstoneycreek]

As always, love hanging out, stitching, and listening to you! You crack me up! ❤

[@sharonbass4673]

I always enjoy your videos so much! Love, love, love that Let Freedom Ring Sampler….feeling very inspired after watching this Flosstube. Perhaps I will just begin that next. Looking forward to the next First Lady video.

[@betsabeabarleycorn]

Hi Rachel! Great video (as always) and a lot of beautiful material. Your first First Lady episode was so interesting for me. I am looking forward to listening about Abigail. Thank you!

[@jenniferparr5959]

Thanks for another great video. I really enjoyed your Martha video also. So sorry for the loss of your dog. We have a Brittany and a Springer Spaniel. Really enjoying the Hemingway fabric I ordered!

[@tracy_stitches]

Always love your videos! I was so excited to see one to watch tonight. Love the hair! Your daughter did a fabulous job. I’m waiting patiently for the next First Ladies video as I’m definitely all in on those and your flosstube videos. Super fun, thanks for taking the time out of your busy life to keep us entertained and learning.

[@jwascher]

Hi Rachel, Be so comfortable being just 48! I have hundreds of patterns and just bought many new releases! I just turned 79! Am I the crazy one? Love it! Bonnie

[@cindianderson1265]

I am a bit late watching this video, but wanted to watch this before I watch the Abigail Adams one. I am sooo looking forward to it and want to be sure I have some good quiet time to watch. I always love your videos. They are nice and relaxed and I love your "style". I'm working on Early Americans by LHN so that will be my First Ladies stitch for now. Thanks for taking all this time to share with us. You are a pleasure to watch!

[@maryannarnolde9745]

Such beautiful patriotic charts. I want them all. Thank you for sharing.

[@claudiazelazny4340]

I am crazy about the First Ladies series. I watch both of your videos, I stitch and listen, keep up the fun series.

[@doligirl1]

It’s great watching your video . I just love those patterns!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Always love your chart reviews and all the inspiration it brings!! Lots of enabling and yes to all the Plum St for sure! I have dirty teacup and would love to start Mark Well - what a tomato! Happy stitching :)

[@suzyqrunswithneedles]

Excited about the First Ladies videos and will watch Martha today! So sorry about your pup! Happy stitching! 🧵🪡

[@zimmerman6565]

I would love to try to mark well - so lovely!! Hope things are going better and that your daughter is feeling better. Sorry to hear about your dog. My pup is almost 15 so I can appreciate how tough this is - we are currently nursing him along as best we can ❤. Looking forward to your next ramble!!

[@debralindeman1676]

Love your videos- every one of them! Excited for Abigail and some patriotic stitching.

[@LoriOrr-qp8fg]

Love your videoes, you are like talking with my friend and love the history of items that you give, even your hair!

[@stacylorraine3130]

Sorry to hear about your fur baby, I know that is never an easy decision. I’ve enjoyed your story telling of the First Ladies, and am looking forward to learning more.

[@carlarigel252]

Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your videos! Love the first ladies series. Your hair looks great. Hope you get some quiet stitchy time.

[@Craftywithwords]

This was such a great showing of patriotic (or patriotic-related) charts. I'm sorry your week has been so difficult. I hope next week brings you more peace.

[@deejohnson4852]

Happy birthday, thinking you need to celebrate this week. Loving the First Ladies, can’t wait for Abigail.

[@annefreathy6480]

Loved your Martha Washington. Starting the next one tonight. Thanks for all the work!!

[@patriciadouglass7141]

Always a joy to watch you! Thanks for all the great patriotic charts to dream about! So many amazing pieces! Looking forward to watching the Great Ladies series! Appreciate you!

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

Good luck to your daughter Sorry to hear about your dog. Love everything you've shown. Marilyn

[@kimhill545]

Thank you again for sharing. I love seeing all of the patriotic stitching choices. I'm currently working on Blueskin by Plum Street.

[@dianapratt9708]

Thank you for showing so many historical charts. So inspiring!🇺🇸

[@Tensytheneedlesmith]

Loved seeing all the Americana samplers. You gave me a lot of ideas!

[@pamklipsic5036]

Looking forward to your next first ladies FT. Also love the darker hair color...as well as all your viewing your projects!

[@dawneck936]

Thanks for a great video with plenty of enabling! Of course I ran off to buy charts. So loving your First Ladies series. Can't wait for the next installment

[@greggshepherd1172]

I just started watching your videos and have enjoyed!! I watched the First Ladies series and am excited for Abigail Adams. Was great to stitch while watching and I loved the history. Today was awesome as I am finishing stitching my old Bent Creek pattern - Luck for St. Patty’s Day, I also loved seeing all of your patriotic patterns. I have many of them as well. I was recently at one of the local LNS stores and I saw the Lila’s Studio - Let Freedom Ring . It was stunning - I would love to purchase but boy is she a big girl!!! Sometimes we all have crap in our lives and think we’re the only ones - and then we hear others and we’re not! Hope some calm comes your way! - Stitching does help - Happy Stitching - Kristy

[@kathysnavely1802]

Thank you for the suggestion for the John Adams movie. I am checking it out from the library. Can’t wait for the First Ladies. God Bless!

[@bonnierogers812]

Love the idea of the First Ladies Sal. Off now to look at my patterns!

[@red_river_stitcher]

So nice to see you on my Friday night! Happy Belated Birthday and your hair looks great! Love all the ideas for our sal! Decisions-decisions! I love your enthusiasm and am so inspired! Can’t wait for the next First Ladies!! Have a great weekend Rachel!

[@judyd7206]

Nice to find you on this ridiculously snowy Saturday in northern MI ! Hope your sick child is doing better, and SO sorry to hear about your dog, I loved hearing the clicking nails ...😞🐾. The First Lady series is fun, and think I’ll dig out an unfinished Patriotic for the SAL, why not, I could stand to finish something 🤷🏻‍♀️👍. Got a cool book at Blue Vase - Smithsonian Treasury American Quilts, even has a Martha Washington!

[@needleandflaxflosstube3647]

This snowy weather is odd, isn't it? The lake effect machine was in full force and those peeks of sun while it was snowing was confusing.. lol! I was able to get lots of work done staying inside all day! I think working on patriotic pieces during first lady videos will be fun! Something to look forward to! ❤️

[@maureenmullarkey7150]

Thanks for sharing all your patriotic charts! Hope your birthday was a great one! Good luck to your daughter on her shop!

[@barbarajones5443]

I am looking forward to having a block of time to start watching the First Ladies series. Thank you so much for taking the time to do them. I am stitching one of the designs in the “Remember the Ladies” series of kits Kreinik produced in the late 90s or early 2000s. Just a fluke of timing. Perhaps I should also finally read my copy of Dearest Friend by Lynne Withey that I was gifted 20 years ago. How time flies by. I will be at the May Farm Girl retreat so perhaps we will meet. A stitching retreat is on my bucket list so I put myself on the wait list and a spot opened up. How lucky is that?? Blessings and condolences about your dog. Losing pets is so darn hard.

[@needleandflaxflosstube3647]

Thanks for watching Barbara! I'm sure we will meet at the farmgirl retreat, be sure to stop me to say hello! I have the Dearest friend book. It's good, it didn't read as fast for me as others I've read, so I didn't recommend it, but not because it wasn't good. You should finish it! Abigail has such a wonderful story!

[@zibbyzoo4379]

Great video again! I always buy stuff after watching your Flosstube; this time Stacy Nash Be Kind Sampler plus two more. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful stitching XOXO Heidi.😊

[@terri7284]

Had to stop and ordered the Abigail chart! I’ve been wanting to stitch this forever!

[@dawncarlson5464]

I really enjoy your videos and can’t wait for the next First Lady series. I love history and you make it so interesting. You have a great teaching and presenting voice. Happy birthday. I hope things settle down soon for you. So sorry about your fur baby.

[@natalieac8227]

Love your floss tubes- like catching up with a friend.

[@disorderlystitcher]

Hi Rachel, great to see you again. Love the coffee mug! I was surprised to learn - when assignment my students a campaign poster project for the Election of 1828, that Abigail and John Quincy watched the Battle of Bunker/Breed's Hill. Have a wonderful week!

[@needleandflaxflosstube3647]

Yes they did!! Can you imagine??

[@bobbietheeveningstitcher6841]

I love all of your patriotic choices for a SAL. Abigail Adams is a beautiful sampler...I have it on my bucket list..my stitching buddy stitched it over one on 28 count and it is breathtaking!! I can't wait for First Lady Abigail! I don't really know that much about her, so I am really excited!! You do a wonderful job with your videos, Rachel! I'm a Michigander as well...this weather has been like a roller coaster! Anyway...have a wonderful week!

[@teresamunn3948]

I'm so sorry that you had to put your dog down. That's always so hard. That and your daughter being sick. You had a rough week. Just know that you have a lot of internet friends in your corner and are always glad to see you! Thank you for another great video! Always love seeing your WIPS and charts; never gets old! I also love seeing which mug you're going to be drinking your coffee from. This one was hilarious!

[@karenbradley263]

Hello Rachel Another great video ! I also enjoy your First Ladies videos also. Thanks for taking time to make these. Karen in WV

[@melodiethomas659]

Thank you this was enjoyable to listen to and Happy late Birthday..

[@mickeybalsters2112]

I stitched Let Freedom Ring and 272 Words. Love looking at my framed pieces.

[@lisawhittaker5680]

What a lucky escape that Lady had! Try finding Fox & Rabbit in Australia in any colour. Another great video. Wish I was American when I see all your beautiful patriotic charts. Really enjoying your series on the First Ladies. Very interesting though I'm Australian. Love history.

[@lisahoyer3422]

So sorry about your dog. Our German Shepherd is having health problems and needs some assistance. Glad to hear your daughter is on the mend. Thanks for a fun video and I love your hair. Your daughter did a fantastic job! ❤

[@beverlyingram9496]

What fun to have a daughter to do fun things with your hair. I’m not American but really enjoy your First Ladies Series. I’ve only used your linen once but really loved it. It hasn’t been easy to get in Canada but we keep hoping. Im sorry about your dog, it’s always so hard even if it’s better for them.

[@nancyevans7609]

Since the First Ladies premier video I downloaded Martha Washington by Patricia Brady to listen to while stitching. I will be getting into the book very soon, trying to finish a book I’ve already started first. The history of our country has always been so interesting to me and look forward to your First Ladies series of videos coming in the future. Loved your Ben Franklin coffee cup😃. Happy stitching

[@needleandflaxflosstube3647]

You will love the Patricia Brady book! So interesting!! ( and not too long either! ) 😉

[@phyllisreeves1156]

Great video. Really enjoyed the patriotic charts!!

[@cathleensullivan7621]

Happy Birthday! Thanks for sharing. Looking for to Abigail. Have a good week. 😊🪡

[@wendydoll3231]

Sorry we did not see you at market! I was with Pat from Stitches Unlimited! Love your flosstubes!

[@judygibbons5983]

I’m sorry for the loss of you dog. That’s always hard. I have Let Freedom Ring. It’s gorgeous, and I was born in Philadelphia so is meaningful on many levels to me. Having lived there, I visited all the places many times. I also have Salute to Abigail in the works in silks but different shades. Can’t wait to see Abigail!

[@kellyperry71]

Thanks for sharing your time with us. Your videos are great! You always have such great charts to show. Great idea to stitch patriotic while watching your First Ladies series. I’m sorry you’ve had such a tough couple weeks.

[@amyabraham2056]

Just found your videos! I am a Michigan stitcher also but am working on smaller projects- haven’t done a sampler yet.

[@hopehardin440]

You’re so awesome, love hearing your stories and inspiration for your work. I am enjoying the Martha Washington; An American Life book. Searching for my American SAL piece, hope to use some of your linen.😊

[@helens2668]

Another great video! I love all the samplers you show! I ordered that floral flag project bag. Now I just need to decide on a patriotic sampler.

[@kristyrohm1500]

I can hardly wait for Abigail Adam's! I thoroughly enjoyed Martha Washington. I'm going to dig out one of my patriotic charts and start it...thanks for the influence!

[@ShawninAZ]

I love it when you post a video thank you so very much. I’m always super inspired and I really enjoyed seeing all of your patriotic WIP’s and charts awesome I want to do almost every single one. I’m going to start my Let Freedom Reign so I can use the hashtag and stitch during your first ladies videos so fun! Thanks again!

[@Stitchingplanet_Janet]

Wonderful video! Loving you and all the patriotic charts, so many to do in so little time 😍. Isn’t Try to Mark Well a great one!

[@elainethurston9479]

Another great flosstube! Loving the first Ladies series x

[@pokercords1114]

Always enjoy your videos - love the idea of stitching something patriotic while watching the ladies. Abigail- her letters book was so interesting so her video will be a favorite I’m sure and I know nothing of Dolly so looking forward to learning about her. Glad to hear your kid is doing better - that is very stressful and made sense not to rush. Hope they continue to recover.

[@patvanbregt4721]

Sorry for your loss on your GSD. Great video!

[@jennys3818]

Hi Rachel. Just want to let you know that I loved participating in your live zoom. All the technical difficulties just make it real. Keep the fun coming. Love love love watching your videos.
