[@amyhudelson4662]

Positivity is such a good attitude to have and a great way to start the new year 😊

[@debbiedomagal6839]

Some days I need more Positivity in my life. Great video!!!

[@kstahl9281]

Positivity is a wonderful trait to begin the year!

[@marthamedina8133]

Your flosstube always has such positivity ❤️

[@paulamcmellon6171]

I love your new starts and your finishes are perfect. I can’t wait to do the Caterpillar mystery stitch with you. It is my first ever caterpillar stitch and mystery stitch! I love your mom and sister’s bags….I was lucky to get one of the deer bags the second time your mom listed them and I just bought myself a chicken bag from your sister. What a talented family of women!! ❤❤❤

[@thecampinglibrarian]

Positivity - you always have such a cheerful attitude in your videos. One of the many reasons I love watching your videos!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoy them!

[@darylevangelista4758]

Positivity is the key to a happy life!

[@Ctperp]

Hi Sarah, happy new year! I do my best to keep positivity in my mind at all times, it is so much easier to be positive rather than negative, not that I don’t ever get cranky 💁🏻‍♀️. Looking forward to future videos!!

[@cherylportnoy398]

Hi Sarah, sending positivity that you are home Watching WIP parades and not at work!! But, thank you for being a teacher and helping our kids learn and grow❤. Your flosstubes are amazing, so I’m guessing you are a great teacher as well. Happy New Year and Cheers to No Plans!

[@StitchWithHoops]

Love your pillow finishes, especially the one with the buttons. So creative!

[@bethanyrutta2377]

Beautiful stitching! Color of Winter is stunning! Love it! Your bags are so pretty! 😊

My word for last year was positivity. This year it's boundaries. Linda from Rhode Island

[@krafty_kay_jay]

@ woo hoo❄️☃️❄️ I just love that there are so many of us stitching right now, all around the world! Here in Gresham, OR it is rainy and windy, no snow in sight😢 I wish that we had snow as it is the BEST light and so cozy, especially with a comfy blanket and a furbaby or two…or more🥰 Enjoy❣️

[@Lobirdie58]

I do enjoy your videos! Positivity is a great thing to have for the New Year. Happy stitching. 😊

Love all your finishes! I now need to order the color of winter, so lovely and those colors just pop. Positivity

[@Bling_ItUp]

Your Winter Folk looks great - thanks for sharing the tip regarding the lighter/darker color for the deer. Positively is like sunshine - I love your positive spirit- that’s for all you do for the community.

[@sarahsstitchery]

You're so sweet! Thanks for watching!

[@cathycoates1506]

Just subscribed tonight I love to watch Helen D and Carol from Saltbox Stitcher’s WIP parades

[@JillPoteat-fd5xi]

I enjoyed this video. Your finishes were very lovely. I really liked the new starts you h😢ave. I am hoping to find them also to do. I can't wait to see more of your progress on your wips I'm going to watch your wip parade next. Come back soon.

[@ChrisBrown-fk3dt]

I am interested in the positivity stitch along. Love your flosstuibe.

[@michelemead841]

Oh Sarah I just got Christmas at Holly Berry farm and could not decide on a fabric, now I have ❤❤❤

[@paulinedean4419]

Hi Sarah! Great video, I am trying to get caught up on my FlossTube, life got in the way so I got behind. All your finishes are so beautiful and your bags that your mom and sister make are gorgeous. I cannot believe no one has claimed that bag, it is so pretty. If no body claims it you can send it my way haha. I wish I lived where it snows, I’m in Southern California it is really dry out here and now we have 3 major fires burning close by but not too close. We need more positivity in this world right now, there is too much negativity. I always look forward to your FlossTube ❤❤❤❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

I hope you’re safe from the fires Pauline! The devastation in your area of the country is just terrible. ❤️

[@CathySnider-cp1wr]

I am trying to hold onto positivity for the new year!

[@carmenguzman7991]

Love all your finishes. My blessing project is The Nativity Story: The Wise Men (Positivitly)

[@joyceliebe2364]

I always enjoy watching you. Your finished ornaments are gorgeous.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks so much!

[@kathiwantz5937]

Happy New Year! And Happy Gotcha Day to Daisy! You had quite a productive 2024 and are already off to a great 2025. I enjoy watching what other people’s plans are for the year too. My plans are to stitch what I want when I want. Your videos are full of so much positivity; they help me get my stitchy mojo back if it starts to wain.

[@debbiduncan6082]

Hello Sarah, Happy New year. You have busy with finishes in 5 days WoW, I love you4 smalls so pretty. You have such positivity on your very beautiful stitching. Happy stitching.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Happy New Year to you too! Thanks for the kind words!

[@aimeehooker7350]

This is my first time to watch your flosstube and I really enjoyed watching today!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Welcome to the channel!

[@craftingaimee]

Such great stitches ❤ I picked up moonshine cabin over the summer after seeing it on your channel. And after seeing it a couple of times here I keep thinking I should get it out to start. Positivity, such a good word for a new year 😊

[@joannmckendry3796]

Positivity ... your flosstubes are so cheerful and informative. Happy New Year to you!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

[@greggshepherd1172]

Positivity is the way to go- even though it’s not always easy!! Loved your WIP parade as well as your 2025 plans. I’m currently stitching A Stitcher’s Alphabet. You have inspired me to get busy stitching smalls to fill my dough bowls. I have many kitted up and just need to begin! One of my goals is to learn how to finish into pillows myself! I can do it!! Positive! 1,2,3,4

[@sarahsstitchery]

You can do it!

[@lavonmoffat1634]

Love your Blessings sampler. The floss colors are beautiful!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks, it's one of my favorites!

[@dawnboseneiler3034]

Another fabulous episode. I am an empty nester and have also dived off the deep end and went a bit crazy with my cross stitching. My girls are out of state so seeing them is not easy. I love your projects and we stitch very similar things. I may have mentioned before, but I love your fabric choices, you have an eye for the perfect pairing even if you have to restart 😉. Positivity abound, you emanate it!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you so much for the compliment about my fabric choices!

[@richardallen1391]

Snow days are the best when you are in education. Congratulations on all of your finishes. Thanks Janine

I love positivity and stitching helps me with that. Happy New Year!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Happy New Year to you too!

[@melissa.lilred]

Lovely fully finishes Sarah. ❤ I hope you got to have a snow day. In London UK it was just a dusting of snow this week, and the weather has stayed cold. I haven't stitched a blessing sampler before, yours is so nice. Take care ❤

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Melissa! I ended up getting three snow days this week!

[@pattikaplan7001]

Sarah, I love your channel. If you haven't watched Thread Gremlins whip parade, it is a must. I was so entertained.

[@annapoe1259]

I completed Positivity Lifts by Caterpillar Cross stitch in 2024, it was such a happy project! We are also getting snow and hoping for no school tomorrow 😄

[@sarahsstitchery]

I hope you have a great snow day!

[@quiltnanny2011]

Loved this video and seeing your cute puppy. Your mom and sisters bags are beautiful. I’ll be watching and maybe I’ll be the lucky one “third times a charm” if her bag doesn’t get claimed Happy new year and happy snow day

[@h82read]

Love your positivity and your channel!😊I hope you get your snow day, my sisters are both teachers and they are off tomorrow! 😮

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you!

[@BernadetteMullin]

certainly love that project bag that you would love to give away,the green christmas one,strange that no one is claiming it

[@sarahsstitchery]

I know! 🤷‍♀️

[@janandoster2560]

Happy new year!! I really enjoyed your fresh starts. The positivity that you share is inspiring me to stitch some new things this year. I really like the ballet slippers fabric that you showed by Fox and Rabbit.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you!

[@amanda_stitches]

I can't believe that beautiful bag has not been claimed yet, I'm kicking myself for not being caught up on your floss tubes when you announced the bag from your mom. It's absolutely beautiful. If she ever gets that fabric again I'll buy it so fast haha.

[@daramichielsen968]

Stitching fills me with positivity! I ❤watching your videos.

[@heatheranderson5668]

Thanks for the episode. I love the pieces you fully finished! We could all use a dose of positivity!

[@frankieronacher1794]

Hi Sara, a beautiful video tonight, as I watch up in British Columbia. We might get some snow too. Your work is so beautiful, finished pillows are gorgeous. Never miss any. Just wish postage wasn’t so expensive so I could ordered some of those charts. Have a wonderful productive snow day. See you extra time

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks so much! I hope you get some beautiful snow too!

Great video! I, too, am enjoying the snow here in southern Missouri. I am stitching on my blessing sampler, Anna Funk by Erica Michaels, while we “chat.” I missed your WIP parade. I must go find it! Happy stitching! 🤞🏻you get your snow day.

[@sarahsstitchery]

I just sat with the designer of Erica Michaels this weekend at the retreat! Anna Funk is a beautiful sampler!

[@MadebyAwna]

Dang! I positivity can’t believe that no one is claiming your moms bag. We live up the road from you & are having a snow day too… ok a few hrs, on the lake 😉 by Cedar Point. I am getting ready to do the Hands on DesignFolk series. Love your mom & sister’s bags. I asked for them for Christmas.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Yay, I’m so glad you’re going to stitch the Folk series!

[@BrittBoyce]

Sarah, I enjoy your flosstube channel so much! I also have a blessings start. I am so close to a finish! In 2024 you taught me to love everything I stitch and if it's just not working its ok for me to start over. I live by this and actually this year will be restarting one of my wips from 2024. So I want to thank you for that advice it really changed how I feel about this particular project and my projects going forward.

[@kathyharris7158]

Great video. Really enjoyed it.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rhondazamora8136]

Happy New Year. I’m hoping you get a snow day and can stitch all day tomorrow. Your FFOs are so pretty. You accomplished a lot on your Christmas break. I love your Mom’s and Sister’s bags. They are so beautiful.

[@terresturtevant2061]

Love all you finishes. you are always right and cherry. but still real. positivity is a great word for the new year.

[@debbieshoul2834]

Hi Sarah, I have a lot of positivity that I will catch up on a lot of my wips I have in 2025 that I didn’t finish in 2024. Here in Md we are expecting a snow storm overnight. They have already closed the schools in my area. With being retired I don’t care about the snow😅. I don’t have to go out except to shovel. Your finishes are very pretty. You have been busy. Enjoy your week.

[@sharonpatnode454]

Great video as always…positivity is the right frame of mind…

[@kathleenh-u7m]

Can not wait to watch your you tube tonight . You are very uplifting. Love seeing your pups.... Lilly and Daisy. Give them kisses for me. Kathy the dog lover.

Positivity takes less energy than negativity. Let’s all be positive.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Yes!!!

[@arlenedolan2913]

Great progress and finishes completed during your break. I hope you have a snow day tomorrow and get lots of stitching done. The snow hasn’t started yet in northern West Virginia, but we are expecting it soon. They are predicting close to a foot here. I’m glad to be watching it fall from my window.

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thank you! 😊

[@ashleyorama5989]

Happy New Year!! Love all your finishes and thank you for the intro refresh. I have been a member for a couple months and it was so nice to learn more about you! Positivity is a great “word of the year”.

[@debbiek4559]

I hope you get your snow day tomorrow, Sarah! I enjoy every one of your videos and enjoy seeing when you cohost with the other Sarah too! Stay warm and enjoy your stitching!

[@sarahsstitchery]

Thanks Debbie!

[@kathleencopegog6930]

Hi Sarah so interested in what you store in your Kobalt Tool Box. My hubby retired and a fellow gave him two and when I went all gaga for them he gifted them to me, lol.

[@sarahsstitchery]

I keep some quilting notions in mine since it’s close to my sewing machine. That was sweet of your husband to give you his!

[@krystinatremblay826]

Happy New Year to you and your family! 🎉 i love your flosstube, so cool😊

Thank you so much! Happy New Year!

[@kayhelland9599]

Hi Lily ❤

[@DebraDale-q9v]

Hi Sarah! Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful stitchings! I have a question… over your left shoulder is a clear stacked drawer storage full of DMC skeins. How are they organized… by numbers? Colors? And why are they not on spools or drops? Just asking … always looking for ideas especially when it comes to organizing… Love your channel! 😊

[@sarahsstitchery]

Those are my extra skeins, organized by number. The rest of my collection is on floss drops.

[@jforster95]

Your blessing sampler is gorgeous!! Been doing the Christmastide Sampler so I haven't started one. You've said you prefer stitching 1 over 2 now - what is the count range you can do that with? I'm going to try it and see if I like it! Hopefully I can use positivity!

[@sarahsstitchery]

It really depends on your preference of coverage. I stitch on mostly 40 count, so I always use 1 strand. You can use one strand on 36 count too.

[@kayhelland9599]

Could SNS be Silver Needle Stitchery?

[@sarahsstitchery]

Possibly? Do they dye fabric? 🤷‍♀️

[@kayhelland9599]

@ I don’t know for sure.

[@Sneezy1956]

Positivity. You can send your mom's bag to me i love her bags. I am in love with your blessing sampler it's going to be beautiful.
