Flosstube #4 - Christmas Stitching Updates & 10 Christmas Cross Stitches for Beginners

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

[@KathysQuiltsandStitching]

Such a fun list of Christmas projects! We have had a lovely fall season here in Ontario, but will also be happy to see the snow whenever it arrives here!

[@crossstitchkim]

@@KathysQuiltsandStitching thanks so much! I feel like falls in Ontario have to be so beautiful and the perfect length!

[@LumiStitch]

I love that kitty in background! He wants to be a star!

[@crossstitchkim]

Haha, he sure does!!! He’s such a stinker! Thanks for watching!

[@homemadeontheridge]

Such a fun update! My all time favorite Christmas charts (too many to choose just one!) are by designer Madame Chantilly… stitching many this season and having such a great time!

[@crossstitchkim]

@@homemadeontheridge Madame Chantilly has soooo many great ones, thanks fantastic! Thanks for watching!

[@DeborahDeLisle]

You are so pleasant to watch Kim. I’ve been stitching for years & sometimes it’s the quick simple designs that are so fun to do between projects. One of my favs is an Animal Cracker by Stacy Nash. It’s Theodore the cat that I turned into a standup.

[@crossstitchkim]

Those Animal Cracker designs are so neat! Thanks so much for watching!

[@dreambigdesignsmichellebro7891]

I love the Cardinal you showed! My favorite Christmas chart is any Nativity

[@crossstitchkim]

@@dreambigdesignsmichellebro7891 thank you so much!

[@dianebeeman3084]

I love, love, love the Snowy Farm ornaments. I Amy have to look I to buying that pattern! Also the Cocoa Quilt and Cocoa Quaker by Primrose Cottage. You’re such an enabler!!

[@crossstitchkim]

Haha, I’ve been told a few times that I’m an enabler! I do what I can 😂

Love your floss to video. We have had a beautiful fall too but now the snow come and winter is here. I think spice was so cute in your video so curious love your quilt that you have that you are working on. It’s beautiful love the colors. I really liked your November Crosstitch finish that she put on the trivet. That is so pretty.

[@crossstitchkim]

@@chrisannstriefel8213 thank you so much!

[@Stitchingshauna]

Love your floss tube videos. Keep up the great work!!

[@crossstitchkim]

@@Stitchingshauna thank you so much!

[@tammymosher3668]

I wasn't familiar with Erin Elizabeth designs. I used your link and ordered a couple of really cute stitches! Thank you, Kim!

[@crossstitchkim]

@@tammymosher3668 that’s amazing! She has so many great ones to choose from! Thank you!

[@MaryJones-r8k]

Hello from Michigan! We may get our first flakes Thursday but they will not stay. Very strange indeed. Thank you so much for sharing where to find the fox pattern. I had already been thinking about getting that book - now it is a sure thing. You are amazing! To be doing such difficult work so early to stitching - then to be doing models for a designer. You inspire me to improve my work. Mary

[@crossstitchkim]

Thanks for the kind words 😊! You will love the Cross Stitch in the Forest Book, so many great designs in there!

[@joanneneufeld8212]

Hello. What a great quilt for your first fully finished quilt! Good job on that! That’s a really great list of Xmas stitches you showed. And we had a good snowstorm in MB this week and all our roads were closed so yes winter is now here! Perfect for all three Christmas stitching.

[@crossstitchkim]

We got the same storm (I’m only 5 minutes from the MB border)! Our roads were also terrible, we are on our second snow day, stuck at home today! I’m so glad you liked my list, thank you!

[@amymmakes]

Lovely video, as always. 💛 I enjoy your channel so much! I don’t really have a favorite chart, but right now I am really enjoying stitching the Tart Tin Snowflake Ornaments patterns by Stoney Creek. ☺️

[@crossstitchkim]

Thank you, so glad you are enjoying the videos! The Tart Tin Snowflakes ornaments look beautiful, tart tins is such a smart idea for a tree ornament!

[@kathyslowstitchh2282]

I'm enjoying your videos and can see you have caught the Quilty bug!! The first quilt you completed is so pretty and you did a great job on it. I also sew my binding down by hand and while a little more time consuming, I really like the look of it better than binding totally by machine. Great idea with the 10 Christmas patterns, and while some are easy, they are all so sweet and worth stitching. Nice job!

[@crossstitchkim]

I sure did catch the quilty bug, and I couldn’t be happier about it! I was so worried about hand binding but I actually enjoyed it, it’s just as relaxing as cross stitching to me!

[@MaryJones-r8k]

Favorite Christmas chart -- the cardinal by Pigeon Coop. Had no idea it was from Max (I checked out his site after watching your video). I love cardinals and have one I am going to start this week-end. Will add the Pigeon Coop one to my birthday wish list. But, I love buildings too. LOL - o so many to dream about.

[@crossstitchkim]

Awesome, the Cardinal design is so good! Yes, there are so many great designs out there and never enough time to do them all!!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Kim...delightful posting...best wishes ❤

[@crossstitchkim]

@@lorettahenderson8979 thank you so much!

[@barbiejobonnett7473]

Great video Kim. I think I must get the Pigeon Coop book, so many great designs.

[@crossstitchkim]

I highly recommend it if you like their designs! It will not disappoint!

[@Jan-SewHappy]

Nice job on your video!! You make and suggest some really cute things!!😊

[@crossstitchkim]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@kathyadams5294]

Last year I did the Religious Christmas Trio from Primrose cottage, and I really like that. I've been working on Winter Rose Manor, had to restart it on different fabric, but it's also a favorite. Really there are so many favorites that it's hard to pick just one.

[@crossstitchkim]

Awesome, i absolutely love Winter Rose Manor, one of the most beautiful designs I have ever seen. I hope to stitch it one day also! Thanks so much for watching!

[@ginasexton9200]

Love that you added the list of charts for beginners! My favorite Christmas chart at the moment is the Wee Santa 2024 by Heart in Hand.

[@crossstitchkim]

The Wee Santas are way too cute! Great pick!

[@nicolec2523]

Good idea showing beginner charts. Wonderful lineup. We are getting snow tonight in Winnipeg - apparently!

[@crossstitchkim]

Thanks so much! I think you are getting the same snow storm as we are! Tis the season I suppose!

[@Kathysimmeth6678]

You are a delight to watch. Very nice stitching. Loved all your Christmas choices. Thank you for sharing. Great video👍

[@crossstitchkim]

Thanks so much, I’m glad you like it!

[@pathansen4368]

Great video. Awesome finishes. It amazes me all the stitching you get finished. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 🦃

[@crossstitchkim]

Thanks so much! Sometimes I feel like I get lots done and sometimes I feel like I don’t! Happy Thanksgiving to you!

[@TheStitchingOwl]

It is so lovely to have another Canadian flosstuber…I am the Stitching Owl from London Ontario. I am also a quilter so I enjoy seeing both crafts on your videos. 🧵🪡

[@crossstitchkim]

Awesome! It’s been great getting to connect with fellow Canadian stitchers! Thanks for watching!

[@juliewalcott4694]

I haven't tried to start Christmas yet, but this year will be the year! I am itching to make some Primrose Cottage pieces! I just received the Nativity Trio, and the Christmas Quilt. Oh! And I had bought their 2024 Snowman earlier this summer, thinking Christmas in July would happen, but it didn't! Got to get a move on! Thank you for sharing the beginner Christmas pieces! I will need to get these done first though!❤❤❤

[@crossstitchkim]

Primrose Cottage has so many great designs, you can’t do wrong with any of them! Happy stitching!

[@cindyloveandstitch]

❤❤❤❤

[@crossstitchkim]

Thank you!

[@marylynnlucas3918]

Welcome to my floss tube list. Very enjoyable your video and stitching. I love to see young ones get into quilting. I am a huge fan of Pigeon Coop Designs. I stitched the fox first also. Did you see the two new charts of winter birds? Beautiful.

[@crossstitchkim]

I did see those two winter bird charts, they are both very beautiful!! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!

[@shellycampis6226]

Christmas Carol by The Primitive Hare is a favorite Christmas chart. I've stitched one already but want to stitch it again! This time on a higher count tabric because my first was on 30ct and it was humongous. Congrats on your quilt finish, it's pretty. Don't sell yourself short, I think any quilt put together by a beginner is huge!! And no, I dont quilt😊 Happy stitching!

[@crossstitchkim]

Thank you! I may have given myself a small pat on the back when I finished the quilt 😂. I looked up the Christmas Carol design, love it, especially the horse and carriage!

[@gleehanson4775]

I love Christmas 🎄 charts. Just started one today of a gingerbread house. Its in an ancient book .. literally in the 80s but so cute! I just finished Festive Blizzard which is about a five year old chart. Love new ones too but ill stitch old, new or in between... whatever speaks to me. Nice video 😊

[@crossstitchkim]

Love that! There are lots of old designs I really really like too, wish I had more time to stitch them all! Thanks for watching!

[@peggymartinez5350]

Your channel is lovely. Thank you for sharing all your projects. Spice is beautiful. I think I will pick up the Christmas Quaker pattern. . .

[@crossstitchkim]

Thank you so much! The Christmas Quaker is a beautiful chart, all of those quakers look so fun to stitch!

[@jenniferhass5683]

I just love all Christmas charts! I’m working on the glitter village this year 😊

[@crossstitchkim]

Right! Christmas is so much fun to stitch, it’s hard to pick a favourite. I have Glitter Village in my stash, hopefully one day I’ll stitch it. Are you doing all the called for?

[@jenniferhass5683]

@ yes, all the called for floss and fabric ❤️

[@JoanneFry-hd7ni]

Thanks so much for another great video!! I just finished the Frosty Garland for Teresa Kogut's Jingle Ball class. So fun stitching on perforated paper!

[@crossstitchkim]

Oh that’s exciting! I think I’m going to do the Jingle Ball this year, haven’t decided what classes to do yet! Thanks so much for watching!

[@kaykillian2dragonsmom120]

Enjoyed your video! Your stitches are lovely. What is the piece on the shelf behind you, next to the trees? I like the look of the roof in it.

[@crossstitchkim]

Thank so much! That piece is called Plaid House by Erin Elizabeth Designs!

[@stitchingontherock]

Hi Kim. Spice is adorable, whenever I film our Kitty has no interest in being part of it. Sorry you guys have gotten snow. Here in Newfoundland, we've had 2 weeks of rain. Beautiful job on your stitching and quilting. What is the name of the finish on the shelf behind you, it looks familiar but I can't place it? Great suggestions for Christmas charts, I don't know that I can pick just one favourite but my favourite that I've stitched, so far, is Ornamental Joy by Country Cottage Needleworks.

[@crossstitchkim]

The design beside me is called Plaid House by Erin Elizabeth Designs! Ornamental Joy is a great design, love Country Cottage Needlworks!

[@stitchingontherock]
