Flosstube #30 - Spring Fling

[@laurabanks6340]

What a great way to spend a quiet afternoon, watching all your creativity. Loved watching all your stitching. Dyed perforated paper, who knew!!!!. Red is my favorite color in all things. ❤️

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Laura! Thank you so much! I never would have thought to try and dye perforated paper either! It’s such a cool effect. Hope all is well! ♥️🧵♥️

[@ekskelton]

Congrats on three years! I always love seeing how creative you are with your color changes and finishes. From someone who doesn't sew, your bags are fabulous! I'm definitely a teal girl.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Emily! Thank you so much! ♥️Happy stitching! ♥️🧵♥️

[@rebeccajourney3183]

Oh my gosh, the Bird Keeper!! That is a unicorn pattern I've been searching for but did not remember her name!! Love 💕 So awesome, kudos on 3 years!!!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Thank you, Rebecca! Send me a message if you want to borrow her! ❤

[@avs8458]

Hi Megan. I have enjoyed your videos for a really long time and am always happy to see a video from you pop up. Thanks so much for continuing to share your love of our craft with the world. The sunflower piece in that frame is going to look amazing! Both of your project bags are amazing. I think the.teal is beautiful.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi there! Thank you so much for your kind words 🥰they mean so much! I am definitely going to have to stitch those sunflowers again for myself! 🙃Hugs to you! ♥️🧵♥️

[@TopKnotStitcher]

oooh your moons keep looking better and better! I love seeing how little stitcher shop interprets each month. Thanks for keeping me company this morning while I stuffed and stamped wedding reception invites! And I'm digging that teal bag 🥰

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

The moons! I just love them so much! The worm is just *chefs kiss* lol I hope you are having a great time planning for your reception! ❤❤❤

[@kristaleger7796]

Congrats on three years, love seeing what you are working on. The project bags are amazing as are all your stitching projects. Red is my fav in most things but that teal is to die for!!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Krista! Thank you so much! 🥰Happy stitching! ♥️🧵♥️

[@criscerqueira8260]

That little donkey finish is adorable. And your frame is amazing. Teal is a favourite colour of mine.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Thank you, Cris! I just love it!! Hope you are having a great week! ❤🧵❤

[@theresapetrik1995]

Love all the different moon stitches. Congrats on both Flosstube milestones. Your project bags are so nice...teal lining really pops from the yellow floral fabric but then again, so does the red.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Theresa! I am really enjoying the moon patterns. It’s been fun to see how each designer interprets each month! Hope all is well! Happy stitching! ♥️🧵♥️

[@kathrynryan2895]

I wish I had the motivation to make more bags. The teal is especially lovely. The fabrics are all gorgeous as is your stitching.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Kathryn! I totally get it. My sewing goes in spurts for sure. I just rearranged everything to make my sewing set up more accessible, and haven't pulled out my machine since! 😅So it goes, I guess! Happy stitching! ♥

[@LindaStitches]

Hi there, Megan! Your project bags are beautiful! Wow, the snow people are so cute. And I love the bird lady..gorgeous!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi there! Thank you so much! Happy stitching ♥🧵♥

[@killyloveshugs]

I love that you are finishing tiny cross stitches in chunky frames, I can't wait to see the donkey in its frame, I think it will be SO cute. I hope you have a great stitchy week, and congrats on 3 years :) I think I have a slight preference for teal! but both are beautiful.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi there! Thank you! I am SO pleased with how the donkey turned out lol I am going to have to keep finding cute smalls to frame for sure! I hope you are having a great week too! ❤🧵❤

[@MetroStitcher]

[@heatheranderson09]

Oh my gosh I love your finishes on the weird bird lady and the cute little donkey 😍. Let us know how your framing class goes. I would love to get some framing tips as it also makes me very anxious when I’m trying to do it myself. I love love the Iron Maiden and Don’t touch me patterns. The fabric is off the charts fun 👍🏻. Congrats on 1000 subscribers and 3 years 👏🏻🎉. Your projects bags are so cute. Love the red. Have a great stitchy week 🐝🐞.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Heather! Thank you so much 🥰 I will absolutely report back on how the class goes! I feel like I have watched so many tutorials on framing, and STILL get frustrated, so I'm hoping learning with an actual instructor will make a big difference! I hope you are having a great week too! ❤🧵❤

[@1948sapphire]

you have been very productive! love the bag lined with teal. I also love gray. I have a very large dog and 3 parrots so my home is never quiet even though I live alone.LOL. Love the bag lined with teal.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Karen! I’m sure it is noisy! Lol! I had a parakeet for 14 years, and that one little birdie could make a racket 😅wouldn’t have had it any other way though ♥️hugs!

[@rebeccajourney3183]

So lovely to see you and spend time catching up with you❣ Your Maryland project bags are great, but I love that little strawberry mouse bag! My sweet mom loved them💕 The snow people are great, I just got two patterns and will stitch on the pearlescent fabric! All of your stitching looks wonderful! I am loving that little donkey!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

The blue zipper you sent matched so perfectly with the crab and lighthouse fabric! Totally meant to be 😊Ohh you will have to send me pics of your snow people on the pearlescent! That will be SO cute! Hope all is well! BIG hugs!

[@jaimerow5075]

Lovely finish on the bird keeper! I had to immediately purchase that Brenda Keys book you showed, never come across that one. Love your videos! Congrats on your 30th flosstube! That teal bag is gorgeous.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Jamie! Thank you so much! I really like a lot of the projects in the Brenda Keyes book. If you want to SAL any of them, let me know! ♥️Hope all is well! Big hugs! 🥰♥️

[@larrymetcalf4044]

I'm brand new to your floss tube and already subscribed!! I love the teal or the red bag everything is so, so cool!! I am in love with snowmen and fell in love with your group that you're doing for each season , just adorable. I really liked your little donkey also, how adorable. that pattern you showed about not enough thyme is perfect for so many reasons. that would be so much fun to do a stitching project with you! Congrats on your three years and I think you are so talented to be able to make project bags, you do a lovely job!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for all of your kind, kind words! ♥️I love a stitch along, so if you ever see that we have the same pattern, let me know! I hope you have a wonderful stitchy day! Hugs!! ♥️

Hi Tanya! I will absolutely use that to describe my stitching style from now on! ♥

[@LinkIsMyHomeboy1010]

Beautiful stitching, as always. The donkey is too cute! Congrats on three years and hitting 1000 subs! I think the teal pops more than the red, but both are beautiful!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Thank you so much, lovie! I can not even with that donkey 😅 xoxoxoxoxo

Hi Cassandra! Thank you so much ♥

[@restingjenface4332]

I just discovered you and I'm glad I did! I love your kind of randomness in stitching projects. I do the same. If I like it, I like it. That bird keeper...omg! I added quite a few things to my wishlist during your video. Looking forward to the next one and I'm sure I'll go back and watch others for more enabling 🙂

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi there! First of all, I love your screen name! I can relate 😬lol Thank you so much for spending some time with me! I have been greatly enabled by this community, so it's always nice to hear that I am giving back a little too 😂Hope you have a great week, and happy stitching! ♥

[@lauraleehawes5266]

I love moon patterns too, right now I just got all the thread and going to dye fabric for The Blue Flower pattern. The night walked down with the moon in here hand. I love your finishes that you did. I have my eye on buying the new Moon pattern from Kathy Barrick. I have been drawn to teal color lately. hope your day is awesome!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Laura! I loooove the Night Walked Down pattern too! I have had it kitted up for a while now, and I am thinking about making it my birthday start this year. I love the new Kathy Barrick moon pattern too. I am thinking about saving up and purchasing the silk for the big blue section at the top. We will see ☺I hope you have a great day too! ♥

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi there! Thank you so much! 🥰 I am really enjoying stitching those moons! For the first set I used the black and white chart, but found it a little tricky. I’ve been using the color chart since then, and LOVE it! I hope you enjoy them too! Happy stitching! ♥️🧵♥️

You have the sweetest voice - I just love listening to you! Wow, you sure got a lot of stitching done! I loved all your finishes but especially the sweet little donkey! The Blackbird needle book you are working on is just dreamy! Really enjoyed all your haul - thank you! Your bags look lovely, both of them, but I would have to say that red is my favorite! All the best to you!

[@LindaStitches]

I so agree ! Megan has the sweetest voice. She is very calming.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi there! Thank you so much! 🥰I do try to stitch for about two hours a night, but that all depends on how tired or distracted I am feeling! 😅I am so glad you enjoyed watching the haul. I know not everyone does, but I love seeing it too! Hope you are having a great week! ❤🧵❤

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

[@gia8070]

Hi Megan, I think we share a passion for floss accumulation! How do you store all your threads? My stash is at the point where they should be paying rent. ;) I'll have to try the white Sulky - I bought a whole case before finding I really don't love them as they are more wiry than fluffy - I'll give de-spooling a shot. They do work well on 36 ct. I hate framing too - always thought you had it easy bc the hubbie makes such beautiful, clean frames for you but I guess it's still a challenge for all of us. Lovely projects - the sunflowers are really sweet. I'm looking forward to seeing your Jenny Bean, Dames Boarding School, Iron Maiden, Don't Touch Me, and the moons. Congrats on 1K subscribers!!! Your project bags are wonderful - I am partial to Teal. Gia

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Gia! It's so great to hear from you! 😊And you are not kidding about the stash! lol! I should have started charging it when it got its own room! 😅😅😅 I store my overdyed on rings by color. With the exception of Gentle Art, Classic Colorworks, and Weeks. They each get their own. Super variegated floss also gets its own ring, as there are sometimes multiple colors in one thread. It's not a perfect system, but it is what I have for now! How do you store yours? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that you don't like the sulky! I actually think the difference in texture is why I like using the white so much. It keeps the stitches more defined, so to me that makes them look better. I will keep my fingers crossed that taking them off the spool will help! Let me know if you need some floss drops, and I will punch you some! I'm really hoping that having an in person class will help me not get so frustrated when framing. I will be sure to report back! Hope all is well!! ❤🧵❤

[@KayleeCrossStitch]

Ooo, I'm a sucker for state-themed fabric. Maryland's flag is so unique and just...LOUD, I love it. I know I just subscribed and found you through the #CursedAnchorSAL, but your project bags look fabulous! I would love the teal or red!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Kaylee! I basically bought every Maryland print I could find 😅I'm so glad that you get it too! I subscribed to you too, and can't wait to watch your videos too! I swear a few months ago, I only knew a handful of MD cross stitchers, but it's like we are all coming out of the wood work recently. It's so great ♥I hope you have a great week! xo

Congratulations on three years! I just found your channel and love how you stitch all different things like I do. I also got married on Hallowe’en because why not? How do you makes your thread drops? So cool!! I’m red, red, everything red!

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Kathleen! I love that you got married on Halloween too! 🖤So fun! For the thread drops I use a 2 11/16” tag punch, a 5/8” hole punch, and a regular hole punch. I got them from Michaels in the scrapbooking section, I think! Hope that helps 😊 Happy stitching! ♥️

Hi Katherine! Thank you so much! I have never tried to film a tutorial before, but who knows? My class isn't until next month, but I will be sure to report back on how it goes.

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Christine! Thank you so much! I have not stitched on 40 ct evenweave, but I would like to try it! I struggle on 40 sometimes, so maybe trying the evenweave version would make it a little easier! I know a lot of people don't enjoy 1 over 1 stitching, but for the most part I do too! I will give aida this...it's easy on the eyes! 😅Happy stitching!

So nice to see you again. I was so glad when a new video popped up from you. Your stitching is always so lovely. Let us know how your framing class goes. I would be interested to know. Also, could you please hold things up a little longer? It was hard to see the things. Thank you. I like the teal

[@wideeyedstitchingchild]

Hi Julie! Thank you so much! I will absolutely report back on the framing class. I'm looking forward to it! Also, thank you so much for the feedback! I still (after three years!) get nervous when I sit down to film. I think that makes me rush through things a little bit. I will try to slow down and hold things up longer. 😊I hope you are having a great week! ❤🧵❤

Could you please tell me where you got that adorable mouse fabric that you made your bags with? So so many beautiful projects. I had to hold back from zipping over and ordering a couple of them. I love the color red.
