Flosstube #32 - “FALL”ing into Christmas - Another Mini WIP Parade (December 8, 2022)

[@perkyperkins7768]

You are perfect just the way you are! Be you, I enjoy your channel and love seeing all your projects .

[@monicasage9076]

Vickie, don’t take to heart the commenter saying you talk too much. So much of the enjoyment with FlossTube is you and others sharing elements of life in your videos. You offer a personal connection that means so much to me and many others who watch each and every one of your episodes. You’re great! Thanks for all you share. 💕

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you 😊. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@monicasage9076]

[@sharonkenshalo831]

I’ve noticed the Aida I have from Jo ANnsis stiff and I don’t like to work on that either.

[@gcarte60]

I soak stiff Aida in warm water. Air dry and iron. Most of the sizing is gone.

[@lindabostedt1224]

Your stitching is beautiful. I love looking at all your WIP's

[@SJPotter]

I absolutely love your videos and your stitching is beautiful. Don’t let anyone stop you from being you. It is your flosstube, you do you! You are fabulous!

[@cindygaudet1390]

Love watching and chat away! Isn’t that what friends do?

[@christinevh1348]

I'm always happy to see your videos, projects, and ALL you have to say! You be you--that's why we watch! Have a wonderful holiday!

[@LindaStitches]

You did a beautiful job framing Portrait of Santa.🎅🏻 Fancy Shmancy indeed! Love seeing all your great projects. I enjoy your “ gift of gab” ❤ 🎄

[@rosemaryzarnoch3974]

I love watching and listening to you. You’re very talented and entertaining. Thank you for sharing your love of stitching 🧵

[@dorothybrown2050]

Thank you for taking the time to make your videos. Have watched you from the beginning. Love spending time with you. You do not talk too much!! Love your mix of projects. Thanks for the visit.

[@CBranumMLT]

I always love hearing what you have to say, it's like a personal conversation! You always have such beautiful stitching! Something to aspire to!

[@dianelegace4846]

So look forward to your videos. I can remember your first one. I watch because I really enjoy all you have to say. I pretty much always learn something new, being a designer, a new release, fabric or thread. It is hard not to feel bad when someone leaves a not so nice comment. As you know they don't need to watch if they don't like something. There is enough of us that really enjoy your videos. Keep doing you. Have a great Christmas with family and come back and fill us in.

[@sandraoreilly7477]

Hi Vicky, I have been watching your videos since you started. I was so excited to see this one pop up because I thoroughly enjoy listening to everything you have to say and looking at all of your beautiful works in progress so chat away girl it’s always such a pleasure.

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you, Sandra 😊

[@OnceUponAStitch]

Hi Vicki! Don't ever change how you make your videos. We watch because we love hearing everything you share. Your stitching is amazing as are you! Loved seeing all your projects. Have a blessed, healthy and Merry Christmas! Enjoy all your family. Sounds like it's going to be so much fun! Until next time, Lori ❤💚

[@christinesouthard2350]

Thank you for your video. So much fun! I can't believe how rude someone was to say you talk too much. You DO NOT talk too much. We love to hear all you have to say! It's like chatting with a friend. This was a lovely visit, so much to see! All your gorgeous WIPS! And yes, you tend to stitch on big projects, but it just makes it lots of fun for us to see. You've made quite a lot of progress on alot of projects. It always makes me want to pull out some I haven't stitched in a while, but, I see squirrels too! 😆 I really like your mash-up of the two Hawk Run Hollows. I think it's a fabulous idea!You sound like you will have lots of fun company, so I wish you a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy! Take care and happy stitching!

[@paulettepatterson399]

I love everything about your videos and talk as much as you want I love listening to you! 🥰

[@nickellehintz5491]

I absolutely love your portrait of Santa!

[@angelathiery2265]

Hello Vicky, Love your videos and I don’t think you talk too much. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you so much about your advice on white and red threads (I’m stitching with them now); and the neutral fabrics where the white floss can pop. There are people who are new to stitching or like me, getting back into it from decades ago. I’m so glad you decided to do flosstube.

[@davidspittal7261]

Hi Vicky, this Marion. Do not listen to whoever it was who said negative things...you talk exactly the right amount. I really enjoy your videos and am always pleased to visit with you!!!

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Thank you so much 😊

[@doreenbuckley2607]

I agree!

[@leeannroberts9019]

Great video!! Thank you for taking the time to show us and give details on projects. Helps so much!! Let it go with rude comments. You offer so much and I appreciate you! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

[@katherinesummers3471]

Your video was great!!!! Don't worry about one person's poor comment. There are so many people out there that really enjoy listening to your videos. Your projesct are amazing. I am looking forward to watching your progress in the coming year. I like your idea of making two WIP boards. I hope you and your have a wonderful holiday season. Take care!!!

I often wonder about people who watch flosstube and then complain or criticize the creator. It's your channel, and part of what I love about your videos is that they feel like a chat with a friend. Chat as much as you like; I'll keep watching. It sounds like you've got a busy time ahead.. enjoy the family time!

[@heden1460]

I am so glad that the rip in the one project didn't go in too far. That would have been heart breaking. You have lots of beautiful stitching to do.

[@mariaendermann5056]

Good work on all those wips! I finally finished my last stocking, thank goodness, and a large project for my eldest sons’ Christmas gift, and 10 ornaments for various family members, so now I’m down to 2 wips. I can’t believe it! One of them is Let Love Reign! It’s a beauty! I’m about in the same place as you are. Have a great holiday!

[@maureenlopez9266]

Gorgeous stitching as always! Loved seeing what you've been working on these past few weeks. Merry Christmas! Enjoy the time with your family!

[@clintonkh]

Hi Vicky. Just wanted to say that I love your talking and it’s part of what makes your videos unique. You make me feel like we are having a catch-up coffee together and explaining all your adventures since your last video. Lol. Don’t change a thing cos you are amazing. ❤

[@a231334]

Another wonderful video, loved seeing all your projects and I adore your fabric choices. I have a few of the CG threads (as I live in Australia) and I just love using them, they really are all stunning. Have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones, may 2023 bring you joy, good health and peace. I look forward to seeing your videos in the New Year and please don't change, love you as you are.

Vickie, I just discovered you on Flosstube. How did I not know about you. Love your projects so much. You are a natural at flosstube. I look forward to seeing you in April at OC. 🤩

[@quinellleftwich1781]

I really hope you dont listen to whomever told you not to talk so much. Every channel isnt for everybody so they can go find something else in my honest opinion but I very much like hearing you talk. I think you have a lovely voice and I really enjoy your stories and your journey. It was one of the things that drew me to subscribe to your channel. I go back and watch from the beginning before I subscribe to any channel and I very much love your content. So I would ask please dont change. Your real MVPs love you for just the way you are. Keep it coming and WITH the talking. Love ya from a fellow Virginian!

[@kathyn4267]

Another great floss tube!

[@cleocat8415]

I enjoy you talking💕don’t change a thing👍😍

[@maxwellstudio19]

You can always wash your crunchy Aida in the sink. It will wash out some of the sizing they put on the fabric.

[@cleocat8415]

I wash my Aida, and usually dye it a bit. It is much softer and easier on your finders. Lonnie in Texas

[@hollymcmillian5197]

I love your videos! I have been watching since day one and always love to see them pop up in my list! Please keep doing what you do, and don't let negativity slow you. Also wanted to congratulate you on a nearly completed WIPGO and all your progress since last video! Have a Merry Christmas! Thank you for being you and sharing with all of us!

Hello from NC Vicki, thank you so much for sharing your stitching progress. You stitch beautifully. Thank you for all the tips on fabric colors and stitch count choices. I hope you and your family have a lovely time together.

[@WhatstheSizzle]

Some times a smaller needle works better on your fingers on that stiff Aida fabric. If you do full coverage, the heavier Aida is the best. Thanks for sharing. Nothing wrong with talking esp if you have something to say. Best wishes for the new year. It is already Jan 6, 2023 !!

[@laurazuniga184]

It is great to have you back!!! You made a lot of progress in all those Wips. How nice to have all those family visiting you for the Holidays. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

[@marleenoceanbreeze6510]

Hi Vicky. The room you're in looks so inviting and your Christmas tree is very pretty. Your stitching projects are also wonderful. I love your plan to combine the 2 Hawk Run patterns. The way you laid them out looks great, and the end result with be fantastic. You seem to have a few patterns with big houses, so much stitching. Really like the one with the white (can't remember the name) and Winter Rose Manor. Also the sheep pattern, so cute, and the green thread you picked is a really nice colour. What a fun pattern that is. I'm sorry to hear that you had an unkind commenter. Please don't take it personally, the problem is with them; your videos may not be the right fit for them. But know that your videos are great and very enjoyable. You go to a lot of trouble to pull out all your beautiful projects to show us, and I can see you pour your heart and soul into it. Thank you. I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas. Take care.

[@cwolf44]

You be you Vickie. I love your videos and one of the reasons is your easy chat. Total pleasure, so maybe the critic could start his or her own channel.

[@yvonnewathen7276]

Hi Vicky, so glad to see your video pop up. Enjoyed seeing all your projects and beautiful stitching. Happy stitching and Merry Christmas!

[@gabrisstitches8038]

On the “crunchy” Aida, have you tried to soak them in dishwasher soap for half hour, then wash and dry? I find that improves the stiffness, though not completely remove it. Great projects!

[@JackieOnyon]

I love seeing your videos and hearing all of your updates and stories. I know negative ccomments have a tendency to stick with us more than positive ones, however one of the reasons your videas are the first I watch is because I love hearing all your stories and the reasons why you make your choices (in fabric, colors, floss changes, etc). I absolutely love your fabric choice for Halloween at Hawk Run Hollow! You have given me so much inspiration and courage to make changes to patterns and not be afraid to restart someething if I'm not happy with it. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you!

Hi Vicki. Thank you for your video tonight. I enjoy stitching late into the morning snd I really enjoyed your video and all the eye candy. I wanted to ask if you have the Lavender and Lace pattern ‘Grandmother’s Fairy Garden’? I have it it my want to do so bad bad but afraid to start. I have it all kitted and ready to go. Just curious in case you wanted to start it. 😊

[@thevirginiastitcher]

I, unfortunately, do not have Grandmother’s Fairy Garden. I say, “start it”. It is not as hard as most people think. Happy stitching 🧵

[@linnieisenburg520]

@@thevirginiastitcher thanks for the support. I’ve been really intimidated and have changed the fabric twice. Being a grandmother “Mimi” it is important to me to get it done. Thank you 😊

I went back to your last video and would like to know where you got the boxes you put your wips in Vickie went back to read the comments how rude. Can you tell me where you started on the twin peak primitives Thanksgiving pattern? 🎄🐕‍🦺

[@thevirginiastitcher]

Hello Susan, so sorry it took me so long to reply. Please forgive me. I got the fabric storage boxes from Amazon, although, the last time I looked I didn’t see them. There is probably something available that is comparable. I started the TOO First Thanksgiving in the upper left hand corner. Happy stitching 🧵

[@rwords3056]

Part of the reason i watch your channel is I so enjoy your conversation! You'll never satisfy everyone, so please don't put energy into changing this aspect of yourself. If a person's channel isn't to my taste, for whatever reason, I employ the "unsubscribe" and "don't recommend this channel" options.

[@kittyperfection1]

Hi Vicky, thanks for the video and showing all the wips. I’m not sure if I’m correct or not, but your wip of lavender and lace with the bear, I think that your fabric is too small. You might want to double check that from the bear to the right to Santa’s sleeve.. I could be wrong, but it looked to my husband and I that there isn’t enough fabric?? I hope we’re wrong.. if we’re wrong, I’m glad and we apologize. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄

[@machelleowens9088]

Your floss coverage on Aida is beautiful! Do you still 14 Count or is it always 16 to 18 counts? Thanks for your video today!

Thank you Machelle 😊. I usually stitch on 16 count on Aida. I love the coverage with two threads 🧵

[@stitchingbettynos]

You know what, you talk just as long as you want. I enjoy your videos. And I bet if I did a poll 💯 to 1 would agree. If some don't agree, there are so many other flosstubers to watch. Whomever said that Vickie talks too much it's 🆗. No need to tell her, just move along. Oh, in case you don't know, you could always speed up the videos. I do that to a KZbinr that talks really slow. 😉 But please be kind. Merry Christmas 🎄⛄ Vickie and everyone, be blessed. Happy Stitching! 🌼🧡🌼
