Flosstube 37 June 24,2024 Yes More New Starts😂

Also forgot a Stitching With the Housewives design I SAL’d with Cheryl and we both finished!! So there’s that and a Barbara Ana 4 Seasons Girls start I’ll have to remember for next time, hence my writing it down here 😅😂 Happy stitching and please comment with what you’re stitching on; curious to know!

[@clarekalantar]

Just found your channel and enjoyed watching this video. I live in California as well. I'm finishing up some patriotic smalls right now and planning on some Jolly July stitching after that.

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Yay jolly July!

[@stitchysally]

Just learn to count should be our mantra! I also need to learn 😂. All of your stitching looks fantastic. Looking forward to seeing your start on the BA Four Seasons. Happy stitching 😊

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Hmm I need to start BA Seasons summer!!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I like that Barbara Ana finish. Looks great! I also like the cat from PNPS you started. So fun and I don’t even have cats but might have to stitch it anyway 😀 And thank you for mentioning the Barbara Ana season girls. I love those and have been wanting to get them. 🏖

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Thanks! I’m so excited to stitch all the seasons! Coffee is out too

[@donnabennett5106]

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Thanks😊What did you make for table gifts? I think that’s always a hard decision!

[@cherylportnoy398]

You make me laugh. I hope you learn to stitch soon. Maybe G can help? I’m stitching on 324. SHOCKED? 😂😂 It’s so fun! See you manana

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

He can count, some 😂😂

[@sallyacevedo99]

👋 That was fun catching up with you. The boat ride sounds fun. I love Catalina but we haven’t been in like 10 years. Yeah, your Wren is more what I was expecting when I ordered mine. Weird how they change like that.

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

I have only been to Catalina twice since college. During college I went to camp there and it was awesome.

Hi Shelley I'm back been away for a little while and I have been so behind on floss tube and trying to get caught up. I love seeing your finishes and the frames you put them in are stunning. You have good taste in what you pick. May was a very busy month for me and my hubby. We went to Indiana to see my granddaughter graduate from High School. There were 1,360.00 in her class and it took about 3 1/2 hours. Whew!!! She will be going to Ball University in September and she is majoring in Art. My grandson (her brother) will be starting High School and he plays Ice Hockey and Football. I started 37 new starts and added 4 more new starts in May and will be doing Christmas in July with Dena Half cross stitch and I have about 12/15 new starts. So I may have a total of about 50/55 new starts this year and I love it. I will probably send you some pictures soon to show you my progress on them. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

I’m so glad to hear from you! Some of us sure love new starts😉 I’m glad you could go to graduation to celebrate your granddaughter! I’ll look forward to some pictures of your starts and finishes💕💕💕

[@TarynVerleye]

I love your cat new start. It cracks me up. That border does look like you've made a lot of extra work for yourself, but it looks fantastic!

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

@@TarynVerleye ooh you’re catching up! I started a new Barbara Ana the other day😂And thanks, I do love the border and will hopefully finish it up after all this jolly July

[@darleenbumgardner5179]

Hope you didn't get too hurt! I can't imagine you out on the a boat. I am sure you had a hat sun screen etc! Glad your husband is retiring. It's a different life. You have great projects I am.on a primrose cottage kick and crafty blue bonnet spools.😊

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Oh the spools are sure cute too! Jacket, pants, glasses, sunscreen, hat 😂😂

[@moonflowerstudiostitch]

Your border is amazing!

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Thanks! I love that project!

[@TheStitchingOwl]

I totally get it….i get my amount of wips going down in number and then start two new patterns. Happens every month. On 16 count / 32 count I have gone to using Sulky thread because it is almost equal to two threads of DMC but is one strand so it gives good coverage and looks neat. Happy stitching!🦉🌞

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

I just can’t get the hang of one thread 🤷‍♀️I think starts are one of my favorite things because I like seeing how the thread is looking on the fabric

[@BecksBin]

Great patterns! Thanks for sharing. Good to see you. Now I have to go see what gum road is….. I hope that isn’t another rabbit hole! 😂❤

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Enjoy gum rd!😂

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Tell Alan it’s tan 🤣🤣🤣

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

😂😂 it is! 💕💕💕

[@marla_a]

Your Barbara Ana patriotic finish is really cute. I also really like that Barbara Ana cat pattern you are stitching. I am working on Blackbird Designs America.

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Oh that’s a great patriotic one! I have an old bbd, Liberty House, that’s pretty patriotic and not a really in demand one, but I should stitch it and move it along. Love Barbara Ana’s colors and variety.

[@marla_a]

@@ItsOnlyStitching Someone showed that Liberty House stitched up and it looked great!

[@ruthbutters2420]

Love your Floss Tube! What is the name of your piece over your left shoulder? The one with the black horse and the gold house please?? I love your All Creatures and the changes you made! So colorful! Happy stitching! Ruth

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Thanks! I think the one you mean has bands, and it’s most of Rachael Holmes by Heartstring Samplery. I think it’s a dog on the top row though, so maybe you mean the one next to it with a horse and part of the house is gold- that’s Black Willow Farm by Kathy Barrick

[@ruthbutters2420]

@@ItsOnlyStitching Yes! It was the Rachael Holmes, thank you so much. Hope your leg is much better now. I'm going to catch up on your previous Floss Tubes now. Happy summer!

[@FrostyXStitch]

With all those friends helping, you should have just hang back and let them get on with it. It is not as if it needed a stitcher to get the mechanical stuff done 😂 Good luck with Rob retiring again 🤞🏻 Loved seeing your stitching. Sometimes the green when you stitch it seems like a lot, but when you show the piece on here it does not look too bad. I am stitching on my Mirabilia Christmas Eve Fairy.... Happy stitching 🪡🧵🥰

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

You’re going to love that fairy when it’s done! Green always feels like a lot 😬💚

[@FrostyXStitch]

I know, I feel the same about green 😉

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

K!🥰

[@AbiBellaStitch]

#nochartleftbehind i love all the starts!

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Some are still sad and left behind. July I’m doing Christmas, maybe August needs new starts? Lol I almost had a freak out when I saw how long my WiP list is- about 30 more than I thought😂😂😂

[@AbiBellaStitch]

@@ItsOnlyStitching I want to start Joyeux Noel in July!

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

@@AbiBellaStitch Christmas! Christmas! Christmas! Wonder if I have over 31 Christmas WiPs 🤣

[@RenewingStitches]

I really enjoyed stitching with you this morning, so very relaxing! Great progress! Also, why not start another, you are so funny : ) I have been working on Martha's Sampler this morning.

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

Amy! I received your Thank You😍Oh I love it!! I can’t believe you stitched me something when I was trying to save you some stitching😂 💕💕💕Handmade gifts 💕💕💕

[@RenewingStitches]

@@ItsOnlyStitching Yayyyyy!!!!! I'm so glad! I enjoyed stitching it for you, friend!

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

@@RenewingStitches I realized I should have written on your video or IG😂😂🥰

[@RenewingStitches]

@@ItsOnlyStitching Ha- no worries! : )

[@shescraftin2126]

“Just learn to count” love it. I think it’s a great idea to stitch the white border around the whole house series. Oh my goodness, your poor knee. My husband keeps saying that we need a boat but you just convinced me that we don’t. 🤣

[@ItsOnlyStitching]

It’s so fun to go fast though😂 My husband looks like a little kid out there 😍 Counting- you’d think I’d know by now😂💕💕💕yay for summer - hope you can do a video (no pressure though!)
