Flosstube #28 - July Stitching (July 28, 2022)

[@HoopItUpWithJan0606]

Please please please post just when the mood strikes you. Film when you’re ready. I would watch you daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, yearly. However you decide. I love the projects you work on and enjoying hearing about your journey. I hope folks are just checking in on you to make sure you are ok and not pressuring to post. Keep it fun for you and in turn it will be fun for your followers.

[@jeancotton7907]

Your videos bring joy and inspiration to many. Just post when you want and stitch what you want. This hobby is one of many blessings. I do enjoy the seasons and grateful to be able to study these changes that mother nature provides. Have a wonderful day!!!

[@cynthiapeterson9068]

I absolutely love your videos. Please don’t worry about how often you film, we will watch your videos whenever you post them. Your stitching is so beautiful and you have “forced” me to order some of the patterns you work on. Be yourself unapologetically! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nancyevans7609]

Vicki I will be happy to watch your floss tubes whenever you feel you can do them. As you said you want to have fun doing whatever you stitch on. Your work inspires me and I’m learning things about stitching from your videos. Glad you had a retreat with stitching and crafting friends at the mountains! Thanks for sharing your WIPS and plans and have a blessed next few weeks.❤️

[@kathymcdonald367]

I loved every piece you shared with us. You are a a beautiful stitcher. Please continue to show your progress. Thanks for sharing bits and pieces of your blessings and trials. It's so important to recognize all we have been given. I love this hobby and to listen to you - please keep up the good work.

[@cheriruble1817]

You are such an inspiration and I will watch your videos any time you post them. You are wise to evaluate how you spend your time. I love all the seasons and am happy to live in a place where I can experience all of them.

[@markschweitzer4714]

Hi Vicki. Love your videos it was a treat to see your stitching. We’re blessed to see you and your stitching. Looking forward to all the seasons we share. ❤️Diana

[@cathyhowe9219]

Keep on posting whenever you can. It's a real joy to see your stitching progress. Love you loads!

[@barbaralajoie1825]

Loved this video and all your progress. Glad to hear you are enjoying your summer. The lighting was great and we are Blessed that you post your stitching for us to study!!

[@kathyosborne7514]

Hey Vicki, always happy to see you and watch your flosstubes, I count you as one of my blessings 💓

[@JackieOnyon]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us. I hope your videos never feel like a chore or work! You do not need to justify to anyone your decisions about when or how often you post, but thank you for sharing with us your self reflection and your honesty. I hope I'm not alone when I say I would watch your videos whether or not you had progress on something, or even if you were doing any of the other crafts and hobbies you enjoy like diamond painting! Whatever you choose to do, I hope it brings you joy.

[@simonesanterre4048]

Love your beautiful work Vicki! I especially loved how you ended this video. Your reminder words regarding blessings couldn’t have come at a better time for me. Thank you. 💗

[@beckipugh8124]

You do whatever makes your life easier, if you decide to film every two months I will be there watching. Your projects are always so lovely and I enjoy each and every one. So glad to hear you had a great stitching time with friends. Happy Stitching! Raven is so pretty, your finish on Study was beautiful.

[@pamrafala3555]

I really enjoy watching your videos! Your stitching is beautiful. I love watching your progress and listening to your journey. Enjoy your stitching and other projects! I like the change of seasons.

[@sueb1828]

Love seeing all your stitching. You have great taste. Very happy to hear that you started over on something that were not liking. Life is too short to stitch something you are not liking. I try to stitch during each season and study cross stitch patterns in the off season. I feel blessed to have found your channel. TFS.

[@sueweddle4589]

I so enjoy your videos! Everyday I have Ravens in my yard and love to see the sun shining, on their feathers. I can't tell you how many times I study my charts to determine what I will start next!!!! I hope you summer is filled, with joy and happiness! Till your next video....be safe and healthy.

[@theresapetrik1995]

You are one of our best blessings! It's good to hear you re-evaluate what and how you are stitching. Joy in the journey is important. Our lives cycle through up and down experiences just like the seasons. Post whenever you are ready, and I'll be ready to tune in. Thanks!

[@SJPotter]

Vicky you are one of my favorite flosstube person. You need to do you. I will always watch whenever you are on. Seasons, raven and study.

[@cyndimartinez524]

Raven Study I really enjoyed your flosstube today. Your works in progress are all so beautiful. Thanks for sharing♥️

[@forgetmenotstitching]

Thank you for a wonderful flosstube video. I loved seeing all of the projects you are working on, you stitch beautiful pieces ❤! Seasons study. I look forward to seeing you next time 😊.

[@theintuitivestitcher9336]

I'm glad you are back! No need to be concerned with your videoes. They are always fine. Love seeing what you are working on. The patterns you choose are so beautiful. I love seeing your stitching. Wishing you a wonderful and blessed week ♡

[@sheilahumphrey-morris1588]

Happy to be watching your new video. This season is a special one for me and I am loving it. The raven is not visiting my garden so far. To study all of your past video is going to be a delight. Have a wonderful day and enjoy making your videos when you get the chance to make one. Don’t worry about us we will be waiting for you.

[@naturegirl7420]

You are putting too much pressure on yourself. Just go with the flow …weekly, monthly, yearly. Doesn’t matter! We enjoy your stitching.and will be something to look forward to. Plenty of other floss tubers to watch Life is short and fragile

[@dianedurrenberger6373]

All seasons are beautiful. I like the Study sampler also very much. Thank you for sharing , everything you are stitching is so beautiful.

[@Tejo03]

All seasons are beautiful. Fall is my favorite. I love your videos.!!

[@pammorrow5116]

This season of my life is busy with 7 grands. I love to study your work. Such talent. Love watching you. No pressure.

[@dollyyarborough2918]

Bless you too Vicki....whatever you decide about your channel, please know we appreciate you allowing us to tag along on your creative journey.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Lovely WIPs and I simply love the L&Lace Angel of Spring behind you - she is my favourite angel of the seasons! We are blessed indeed - love from Wales UK x

[@annedavidson1136]

I always look forward to your videos. I enjoy your work because it often represents all of the seasons. Especially like all of the Hawk Run patterns!

[@anntana3697]

Do the pace you feel the most comfortable, we'll watch whenever you decide. I use to watch two floss tuberers 5 years ago. They both put out a video at least once a week. I couldn't imagine how they did it. Instead of slowing down the pace, both of them got burned out and disappeared within a months of each other in that summer. I was heartbroken and hoped they were ok. I so enjoy watching your videos and have learned so much from you. The best thing I learned is that i can have as many wips in progress as I want. Why didn't I think of that! I stopped stitching years ago because I got bored working on only two wips at a time. Now I have 20 I work on whenever I feel like thanks to your tips! I love watching to see what fabric and floss colors you choose on your projects! Love to hear you talk and see the progress on all your wips. Wishing you many blessings.

[@Chris-nc3qp]

LOVE your videos. Inspiring. My favorite thing about living in the Midwest is the changing of the Seasons. Fall is my favorite.

[@karenmoseley9337]

I live in New England where are four seasons are distinct and yet each one is so beautiful. My favorite season goes back to when I was in school and that is summer because I didn't need to study. You made me so nervous when you said the thought came into your head that maybe you wouldn't do a floss tube at all, but then followed it with 'maybe once a month or once every three weeks. I love love love your posts. Your voice and your being 'real', just being yourself, is soothing and enjoyable and I learn so much. Thank you and please keep up the good work.

[@laurazuniga184]

I always enjoy your videos. All your wips are beautiful. You are right, we have to thank for everything we have and sometimes we learn more from bad times.

[@sharonbeck8209]

Please take time to be kind to yourself. When a person gets burned out they are of no use to anyone least of all themselves. Do what brings joy into your life. You are a beautiful lady, 29 yrs young and holding. Hugs from Ohio.

[@lindadaelemans25]

The study of raven is good for any season. Thanks for sharing so much of your WIPs. I thought I was the only one that has that many and was embarrassed but your attitude is great! Thanks again!

[@kjmstitches]

Hi Vicki! Always look forward to your videos and all the beautiful things you stitch. Do videos when you feel like it. Do not feel you have to be on a schedule. I look forward to your videos, love to watch and even if you only put a few stitches in it is fun to see your progress! 5K subscribers is amazing! Enjoy the journey, have fun, record when you want! Do not feel you have to be on a schedule at all! A favorite Halloween bird is a raven.

[@Hezz6142]

I rarely comment on floss tube videos but I felt compelled to share this with you. I went along with all stitch alongs I could find, wipcos you name it I was there. I lost my desire to stitch!! I almost threw everything in the trash. Only because my husband said just do what you feel like doing am I still a cross stitcher today!! Just do what you feel like doing. I love watching you. Your stitching is beautiful.

[@harleyriderstitcher3951]

Forget those comments, probably just missed you because we are all addicted to hearing about your finishes! I want to say THANK YOU as after I used your idea about grouping my wips by season, I have finished 5 for the month of July. I even took your advice and actually started a very much loved old project that is 296 x 400 and I am loving it!!!! Choose whatever you want to stitch, it's a joy not a chore! Once a month will be great! I'm stitching as fast as I can!!!

[@kimberlypham5347]

I always love your videos. You are my favorite ♥️. Of all the seasons, fall is my favorite.

[@tonigrzych6659]

Do what makes you happy. I enjoy seeing your wide variety of projects. Sometimes social media can be a bit much take a break if you need to. I tend to stitch on linen , but your stitching on aida is just beautiful. Take care and keep stitching.

[@christinevh1348]

Arbitrary anytime should be your mantra--I like that for myself also! Whenever you feel like filming, I'll be here, and happy for it! Once a month would be wonderful, but we're here for you whenever! Love you and your channel.

[@paulafinlinson3165]

Thank you for your videos whenever you have time to share. Our taste in projects are the same so I love seeing your progress. I truly love all Seasons!

[@nancysnyder2535]

What a wonderful video! It brought tears to my eyes as you talked about blessings. It is too easy sometimes to forget all the blessings we have when we're going through some struggles. I thank God for each and every blessing I have received. Please don't feel pressured to do a video every two weeks. As many have said and I agree, whenever you post a video, I will be right here watching!!!!

[@zoetaylor4849]

Do take it easy.. this should be fun for you. We'll be here. I love stitching as you chat and share your work. Follow how the Seasons take you .. blessings to you.

[@wendykermott5633]

I have only watched 20 minutes of your floss tube and just had to comment. How sad that it is nothing but joy for you. Don't let people put you in a box. I think you are just enjoyable enough that people miss you but don't let that pressure you. I am not a floss tuber myself I just enjoy watching all of you and your content. I'm afraid I don't understand all of the have to's and what's nots of doing floss tubes videos. This should be a place of pure joy. Please carry on with no pressure!

[@gaywells7340]

I love Seasons! I enjoy your Flosstubes. You really cause me to stitch more.

[@sydneystardew]

Just caught up on all of your videos so I was so excited to see you uploaded another one! Don’t worry about getting videos out, just do what makes you happy! Thanks for all you do! Raven

[@mblueish]

I always enjoy your videos and you are a great enabler LOL. I agree with everyone else that you should film when you want and never feel pressure. Love all your work and thank you for you blessings and I wish the same for you. I have always wanted to stitch Raven Queen.

[@deeb5808]

I enjoy your videos when ever you post them. Do what works for you. I stitch in all the seasons.

[@donnamurdoch5915]

Thanks for speaking from your heart ❤️ You do whatever works for you. I would like to think there is no pressure from your viewers...don't put any pressure on yourself. Do what brings you joy and contentment. I will enjoy whatever and whenever you post. No need to apologize ever! 💕💕💕

[@vickimoody7605]

Please don't worry about how often you post a video - we will watch you no matter what. I love all your stitching projects and your work is awesome. Seems like the seasons pass quicker now that I'm older. I study all the samplers and it seems like there is a raven in just about all of them. Enjoy your hobby - posting videos whenever you feel like it is fine.

[@lscpjc]

Your beautiful work is always and inspiration to me...I too turn to my cross stitch for stress release and decompression... It's a hobby I've been doing (addicted too) since I was 7 -it has always brought me peace during the good and bad times. I absolutely love the Seasons patterns-exactly what I've been looking for-stay well-and thank you for being you!!

[@rhondadiercks]

Congrats on reaching 5,000! Loved your Quaker Study finish, it's on my list to do. Film when its good for you and you are excited about sharing your progress, that's what it is l about!!!

[@rebeccadilworth2585]

I just found you.. binged on so many in a short time. I am in my 60's and 100% support your decisions to stitch what you want when you want! But please keep sharing your beautiful work and insights when you are ready. I will be ready. 😊 All the best.

[@debranicklaus5194]

I recently found your videos and love hearing about your process and admire your choice of projects. I want to study your process for the seasons you stitch.

[@lilysmomma785]

That Raven chart by Mira is so beautiful. I do look forward to you videos no matter when you post. Cross stitch shouldn't be stressful in any way, from the actual stitching to creating the videos. You have every right to enjoy your time and stitch what you want, when you want, post what you want, when you want. Thank you for sharing.

[@woodlandstitchingstudio]

Hi Vicky! I agree with you whole heartedly I've tried a couple of different stitching schedules, but in the end I just want to stitch what I feel like stitching at any given moment in time. I love your phrase "arbitrary all the time". That is so me. I also choose to go where my crafting takes me and have several other types of crafts that I enjoy working on. Thanks so much for sharing with us! Seasons, Raven, Study

[@kathyhuff3406]

Please don’t feel pressured. I love your videos and take them whenever you do them. I will miss you. I look forward to your videos. The seasons have been crazy for the last few years. Congrats on 5k subs. 😎

[@desireeross6663]

Hi Vicky!! I love listening to you any time you are able. Please please please don’t feel pressure! 💜 I appreciate everything you do! You are perfect the way you are! I love surprises!! Thank you for sharing always! I love all the seasons! To study a Raven is very interesting!

[@tammykirk8227]

Hi Vicki. I'm enjoying your many, many WIPs. Loved all your videos. By all means, film when you want too. I'm not going anywhere and will watch your videos whenever you post. You're stitching is so beautiful! The Seasons are so enjoyable, I just love summertime. Quaker Study can always use to study the ABCs. The mirabela, whoo whoo, the Raven queen is so beautiful. I'm a new stitcher, only started this year...that would definitely be a challenge. Blessing to you Vicki and your family!

[@susansaunders397]

Love seeing you & all of your projects again, & you did a great job with this video! I, too, decided at the end of June, that I was putting too much pressure on myself to meet goals that don’t affect anyone but me, so I took a little break, reorganized what I want to work on, & changed almost all of my goals, & I’m so happy I did. Just needed to put it back into perspective! So glad you got to spend a little time retreating at Massanutten; we absolutely love it there! I love all 4 Seasons in VA❤️ I still love to Study history, & what a blessing it is to live in a state so rich in history! Congrats on 5k subscribers 🎉 Happy Stitching❤️🧵🪡

[@barbmack8487]

Congrats for reaching 5,000! No worries about posting! There are seasons for everything and family comes first! They are truly a blessing!

[@lindamosher8990]

I absolutely love watching your videos as I stitch or cook dinner! Absolutely stitch whatever you want and record whenever you want ! Blessings to to you!!! 💜. Seasons raven 🥰.

[@lauren-nerdynurse5893]

Oh my gosh I LOVE the Raven Queen!!! I've had my eye on her for ages!

[@cathleensullivan7621]

Thanks for sharing your lovely stitching and video. Please do what is best for you. I do enjoy the changing of the seasons. Have a good week!😊🪡

[@susandevenny6475]

Just post when you can! You are always so welcome to watch. Love seeing your progress. Have a good day.

[@tcupkaren]

Hey Vicki, you certainly have had a boatload of challenges and changes to deal with for a while now. I can definately relate. How I manage is the same as you do, stay focused on your many blessings and stitch stitch stitch! I love the saying that you can't control the wind, but you CAN adjust your sails. I think you're doing great! No worries about sticking to a video schedule either, do what is best for you! I love seeing your progress on all your BIG beautiful projects. I'm also drawn to those big beauties. Love all your videos! Seasons, study

[@jamiecherry6178]

Another fantastic video! I especially loved seeing your Hawkrun Hollows! Can’t wait for the next update!

[@lindajohnson3836]

Just found your video, enjoyed it while doing some embroidery. I am fascinated with cross stitch. Your projects are pretty and big! I try to dabble with cross stitch, I have three projects started but feel overwhelmed so they are on the “back burner”. Thanks for sharing and video when you can. Happy Stitching!

[@confessionsofaserialstitcher]

Great video! My mom says the bird at her feeder is a crow but the neighbor says it's a raven. Hope you have a great month stitching. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Much love ❤️

[@BlushingPinkStitches]

Hi Vicky! So lovely to see you back with all your amazing progress! I’m glad you made the decisions you did with your Flosstube and your wip rotation - you have to do what makes you happy, like you say it is your hobby, you do it for fun… You’re so right in all that you say about counting your blessings - it can be easy to get bogged down in negativity, but there are so many things around us every day to be thankful for… I just bought an android tablet this week so I could use pattern keeper for my full coverage piece and it is a game changer! I was loving stitching on the piece before, now it’s just delightful. Hope yours continues to be enjoyable too… Seasons, study, raven 🤞🏻 Take care and happy stitching! Lindsi xx

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Hi Lindsey, I just watched your latest video and loved every second. May I say, you look perfectly lovely without makeup. I wish I could be as confident. I love pattern keeper now that I have finally given it a try. I wish you many happy days with time to stitch

[@pavamyers1647]

Girl do your videos when you can/want! I love seeing your work. I have the notification bell on so I’ll know. And by the way, I would love to see your knitting and crochet. I appreciate it can’t do but love seeing others work. ❤️ Don’t be discouraged.

[@robinfierce5462]

Congrats on reaching 5000 subs. Spring is probably my favorite of the seasons. I love the raven haired chart, but also the Quacker study one just as much.

[@cindyliles867]

Love your projects, Vicky! Great job. Really love those Hawk Run Hollow ones too. Take care.

[@bonniemitchell8633]

I am ready for a change of seasons tired of this heat and humidity. Raven is beautiful I’ve never stitched a Mira. Arranging a craft space is difficult to find what works best. Love all your stitching wishing you great progress on them all.

[@stitchingbytheriver8666]

Hi Vicki. I hope you don t stress out with stitching or videos. I enjoy your videos whenever and wherever you post them. I enjoy stitching all the Seasons :)

[@bethgilene1515]

Congratulations on 5000 subscribers. Work on what you want. Will watch you regardless of how often you put out a video. Stitch on what you feel like stitching.

[@mamaclauswithatude]

I hope you don't give up your channel. I truly enjoy watching you. I was watching a Raven out the window.

[@zsuzsannaletonai5592]

I really enjoyed this video of yours as well. You know, I was very-very moved by your beautiful thoughts in the end. And - I love Ravens.

[@donnalabuda6931]

I think you gave had a busy and exhausting summer. When the weather turns a little cooler you will get your stitching mojo back, I hope. I so enjoy all of your projects, since you do some Aida stitching like myself. I have never done a big sampler before so I would like to study the seasons.

[@pamelabrown3333]

Love your videos and how real you are. Do them when you want to do them! Seasons come and go. A Quaker Study is awesome!

[@kellycrooks4061]

Stitch what you want, when you want. And film whenever you want as well. It’s a hobby, so it should be fun!! You have so many beautiful pieces! It’s fun watching your progress on all of them. It will soon be time for the kids to return to their study, that’s a good indication that seasons are changing and it will be time to get out my raven decor for Halloween!

[@marianneehlers3232]

I’m happy to watch your video whenever you are able to film, monthly, weekly, whenever you like. Take care , be well, praying fir your friends baby 🙏🏻😇

[@shajamtravels]

Thanks for showing all your wips! I would love to stitch the seasons or Quaker study.enjoy your stitching!

[@cindygunning7108]

Vicki post when it works for you! I love seeing your stitching! I’m blessed to retire this month and that my husband and I will be able to help our 2 daughters with getting the grands to and from school. You are so right about needing to look at our blessings in our lives. I love all the seasons but my absolute favorite season is summer!

[@gladysiezza4756]

Glad your back missed you. Glad all is well. Raven what a beautiful pattern. It would be amazing to stitch. Right now I am working on Nora Corbette which is smaller but looking forward to try a larger piece.

[@michellemacdonald0203]

Hi Vicky so glad to see you are back, Yep I did not have the notification bell ticked so I came looking for any updates. I too love any,all,whatever content you make and genuinely look forward to watching, i can totally understand how flosstube could feel like a pressure, I could be tempted to be a flosstuber but oh I am not sure. I think you have an awesome band of followers and you truly deserve to anjoy your flosstube journey!

[@lindaeccles1161]

Hi Vicky. Look forward to your videos whenever you post one. Don't feel any pressure, we will wait. We can have all four seasons in one day here in UK, and that is true. Long time since I did any study, but manage to learn lots about life every day. Thank you for your time and beautiful patterns and stitching.x

[@kellysluiter5241]

Such a wonderful visit. I stitched on Sarah Braizear for 3 months everyday and got all the X’s done. All I have left is the satin stitches. I say stitch on what you want and not worry so much about how much you have to share in the video. Have a wonderful weekend.

[@marianneehlers3232]

Hi 👋🏻 I’m happy to watch your videos whenever you are able to film, monthly, weekly, whenever life allows. I’m praying for your friends baby. Take care.

[@debbiehays9794]

Do not stress yourself out trying to stitch enough. Just stitch what brings you joy and post when you want to share, not when you think you should. We will watch you whenever you decide to post. This is a relaxing hobby that is suppose to bring us joy so only do what brings you joy. 😍

[@morenaullucci431]

Hello Virginia Stitcher, the grey fabric that you chose for your Tidal Rivers pattern is absolutely beautiful 🎀

[@robinmuddiman7194]

I love your flosstube!!!!! We just moved my son to DC this week and went by the crossstitch store in Alexandria. I hope to run into you someday there!!!!! Beautiful shop!

[@wendycoffman5161]

We enjoy your videos whenever you are able. It shouldn't be a chore. Raven is on my wishlist.

[@thesoapystitcher2987]

Thank you for sharing another update. Love everything you’re stitching! I’d love to stitch seasons or raven. Thank you!!!!
