Same, after 35 years I picked up cross stitch again and love it. Family raised, now a widow, it's a blessing that brings me peace.

[@tammieearnest]

A new chapter of life. Bless you!

[@rebeccajourney3183]

Love the Quaker and I am loving the monochromatic stitching! Im working on my 3rd piece in a row with one color. The third is Block Quaker with a silk, very pleasing❤

[@bonniewalker6340]

I enjoyed this segment tonight and your organization of how and when you stitch. I am beginning to cross stitch again myself. After 38 years. I have 3 samplers finished from back then….. but I desire a room full! I will watch again.

[@tammieearnest]

Go for it Bonnie!!! I love the renewed enthusiasm!!

[@rebeccajourney3183]

Thank you for explaining the envelope pillow construction! I have sewn all my life but learn best visually, so I appreciate!!

[@tammieearnest]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@jonigoodmanson2179]

Thanks so much for your shares today. All so lovely! I,too, enjoyed hearing your rotation plans. I like them!

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks Joni!

[@vickiekolden3373]

Your Flosstube and Quillting programs are so peaceful to watch. I even love the opening music. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@tammieearnest]

Thank you so much Vickie!

[@chrisannstriefel8213]

Love your fun projects that you were working on. They are beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@tammieearnest]

My pleasure!

[@lauriebutler-tn5pt]

I agree that leaving the vine as it is and working the remainder 1 over 2 is a good idea! Beautiful stitching!

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks Laurie!

[@NDQuilter1]

Love your stitching and finishes. Love rainy day stitching 😊

[@tammieearnest]

Me too! ♥️

[@carolmchargue7746]

All of your projects are beautiful. Well done!

[@brendarobinson8836]

Beautiful stitching.. I enjoyed your floss tube. I love how you use the pins to hold your threads.

[@tammieearnest]

♥️. I love using vintage items!! Thrills my heart to think of who else might have used something and wondering about their story!

[@trupple4725]

Love your rotation process! Your projects are ones that I have in my stash or want in my stash. Happy stitching! 🪡

[@tammieearnest]

I love the "or want in my stash"! I have a long list of those! Thanks for watching Terry!

[@Devetta14]

Love all your starts and projects😋

[@cletawaldron8623]

Just found your flosstube! Love all your projects! Like minds….I can’t wait for the next one!

[@tammieearnest]

Thank you so much!

[@quiltgram3056]

Wow Tammie, I had finished a sailboat quilt for our third son and his wife. I had purchased a small floss tube schooner back when I had planned his quilt. Oh yeah, the kit is still in a drawer. I’m also organized and appreciate gleaning some tips from watching your videos. Lol, will now schedule Adam’s schooner in my monthly planner. 🎉🎉🎉🎉. I used to needlepoint and cross stitch many moons ago so sure some refresher will help my process. Thanks and working on Pressed Flowers block 2 as I was watching. Love, love love your shows.

[@tammieearnest]

Love it!! My kids used to listen to a Patch the Pirate “cassette tape” 🫣 with a song that went “Little by little, Inch by inch. By the yard it’s hard, By the inch what a cinch!” I guess we could change the words to “by the STITCH what a cinch”. 😂

[@ruthkock8983]

thank you so much enjoyed your floss tube!

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks for watching!

[@pamelahoward8359]

Your projects are all lovely!! I must get the Karen Kluba Quaker chart!

[@karenfrank9036]

I stumbled across this Flosstube...like others have said, I found your Flosstube very peaceful and soothing. Your work is beautiful! I am rediscovering cross stitching after taking a break for several years. Learning to stitch in hand and use the sewing method on beautiful fabrics instead of my past white 14 count aida.

[@tammieearnest]

Hi Karen! Thanks for watching! You’re journey sounds very similar to so many of us. I’m enjoying the new fabrics and new flosses, aren’t you?

[@lindawhitley1772]

I totally enjoyed your visit today. Thanks for sharing your beautiful projects and rotation plans. I particularly like the "morning stitch". I may pull out one of my projects that I like but have been ignoring for too long. One strand a day doesn't sound bad at all.

[@tammieearnest]

You’ll be glad you did Linda! Thanks for visiting!

[@fmccuu]

This is so nice. Thank you for sharing.

[@tammieearnest]

You are so welcome!

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Beautiful stitches!!! Pink animal on 2nd WIP, looks like a FOX, to me... I really appreciate the great detail with your closeups on camera!!! I am new to linens & evenweaves. With my old eyes, and even with a magnifying glass 2.0 & magnified 4.0 glasses (over my regular blended Bifocals) I have a slow & steady time blocked out as I stitch on all thread counts > 25 ct. I am determined to complete the samplers I have chosen, at my tortoise rate! 🐢 Love the kilt pin for holding your carded floss! I still have mine from the 1960's. I'd leave to 2 strands over 2 threads for the vine & consider alternating 1 strand over 2 threads for the inside grass rows & the outline of the grass as is. Maybe even 2 strands over 2 threads around the house, & fill in 1 strand over 2 threads, completing each x for the Varigated look! When I've used 2 over two on the higher ct ground fabrics, I feel like I am stitching a rug...too thick & stiff, for my liking!

[@tammieearnest]

Great ideas! Little by little, you’ll get there! Enjoy the process!

[@teresamc521]

Good morning Tammy! Love your choices of cross stitch projects. The quaker n quilts in black is classic. I agree with you on the keeper of the pins. Leave the vines as two threads. The rest of the pattern one thread. I stitch on 18 ct Aida used to use 2 threads until a floss tuber explained why she used only one thread for a more primitive look. Also saves on floss. I tried it n love it! Now I only use two threads if im stitching with any shade of white. Always look forward to your videos. Thank you for proclaiming your faith .❤️

[@tammieearnest]

Teresa, I like the idea of 2 threads for white because a lot of times it gets lost in the linen. Thanks!

[@lindaholland683]

Enjoyed seeing your cross stitch.

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks Linda!

[@MameysMedley]

I love how you rotate your projects!! ❤❤❤

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks so much!

[@lisamunchausen7158]

Leave the vine with two threads and do the remainder with one thread. Nobody will ever know. It will just be texture. Love your projects and I too, love any stitch with a house!

[@tammieearnest]

🏠. Love them!!

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Amazing most houses on Samplers are 2 story...

[@aquilterscraftroom]

Hi Tammie. So glad to see another flosstube from you pop up! I love all the projects that you are currently stitching and I love your rotation plan. Gives you enough time to see some progress but also keeps it interesting:) I also have This is the Day as one of my WIPS and seeing how beautiful yours is, reminds me that I need to pull mine out! Thanks for sharing. Happy stitching:)

[@tammieearnest]

My thoughts exactly! Thanks for watching!

[@darleenbumgardner5179]

Good video! I enjoy hearing about your pieces. I have stitched since 1975. I have done 100's of pieces. I like 32ct because I want to see the stitching. 2 strands over 2 always gives a solid look. Nothing wrong with it. I like it and do alot of it. One strand is just a more primitive look. Whatever you are comfortable with. No cross stitch police😊!

[@tammieearnest]

Exactly

[@tammieearnest]

Exactly Darleen! I’m still learning what I like best and being confident in changing from what is called for.

[@lonnalueker6161]

So enjoyed your video and seeing your projects. I would leave the vine with 2 strands. 😊

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks Lonna!

[@kade1699]

Such a lovely video, Tammie, thank you so much! Your voice is so sweet and soothing. I love all the WIPs you are working on, especially the Quilts and Quakers monochromatic! Really admire how you organize your stitching rotation! God bless and keep you!

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks for watching!

[@MidnightMamaStitches]

You have probably one of the most organized rotations that I’ve heard of!😅

[@tammieearnest]

😄

[@terryblair966]

Such beautiful projects. I love crossstitch projects. I've done the large Quaker baskets project and loved it. Thanks for sharing, yours are beautiful.

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks so much Terry!

[@joanneseeger5271]

Love your stitching. You are doing many of same projects I have going.

[@tammieearnest]

Woohoo JoAnne! ♥️

[@marynolan1895]

I enjoy listening to you while I'm stitching.. regarding your project, Keeper of the Pins, I would leave the vine as it is but do the rest 1 over 2.. other than that you are doing a great job!

[@tammieearnest]

Oh thank you!

[@lindaskinner5887]

Cute pillow. Enjoyed seeing your stitching progress. Thanks for sharing.

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks Linda!

[@tamimorgan1487]

Such great progress on your wips! I too am working on this is the day - or should I say I’m going to restart it.😛 I had a lot done- but I didn’t like that my goats you couldn’t see - I frogged them but then decided since I hadn’t started the house that I was going to change fabric. It was in time out. I’ve since seen a few finishes where stitchers have left off the goats - I still have not decided what I’m going to do. Thank you for sharing andHappy Stitching!

[@tammieearnest]

Oh no! My goats don’t show up very well 🤨. Another viewer commented that she uses 2 threads when doing white. I may try that next time.

[@patsyowens7365]

Tammy you always stitch on beautiful charts. I think if you leave in two threads on tree it will add Dimension to your piece single on house and lawn. It will be beautiful. She probably designed a little heavier because of finishing in a pillow. But I’d like to see it with both.

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks for the encouragement Patsy!

[@donnamartinez1341]

I absolutely Love your Flosstube and Quilting Videos. The cross stitch patterns & designers you do are the same kind I enjoy doing, love the colonial/prim look and old barns and farmhouses. I have been wondering if you could share or show in one of your flosstube videos how you cross stitch - in hand, hoop etc and what tools you use. I have recently revived or reintroduced myself back into cross stitching and have dived into stitching on linen and so I'm always curious how others stitch on linen. I know there's no cross stitch police. 🙂

[@tammieearnest]

Thank you Donna. I will make plans to share how I stitch. Thanks for watching!

[@melodyanderson3694]

love listening to you, as for the one you are dong 2 threads and then change to one it will look fine. and it is yours to do as you like anyway. Happy July and God bless

[@tammieearnest]

Thanks for your encouragement.

[@kimpatterson2333]

Your This is the Day house is looking so beautiful! ❤

[@tammieearnest]

Thank you Kim!

[@Hexagonstitches]

I love 1over2 on 36ct too. Also houses! Would leave vine and stitch the rest 1 over 2. Have a great month.

[@dianapratt9708]

I really enjoyed your flosstube. I have This is the Day kitted up. Im trying to finish other projects before I start it. Thank you for sharing! Oh by the way, what is the music in your intro? It’s really pretty music.

[@tammieearnest]

So many good things to stitch!! The Intro music is called The Moment” by Robert Miller

Beautiful. I enjoy watching your KZbin channel. What Bible app do you listen to? ❤

@@tammieearnest Thank you

[@patriciacarluccio4372]

I have a question Iam working on Elizabeth rules 1799 scarlet letter they say to do it on 35 count linen Iam using dmc thread do I use one or two threads to sew with and on the long arm cross stitch do I use one or two threads? And on the counted satin sawtooth stitch do o use one or two threads and then it s one straight stitch between each thread of linen to cover the entire space outlined in the graph stitches should run in the shortest possible direction I don’t really understand can you help me?

[@tammieearnest]

If you like the more prim look, I would use 1 thread over 2. If you like more coverage, use 2 threads over 2. For me, I’ve learned that I like the prim look so I would do 1 over 2. In regard to the specialty stitches, I do not know. This is something that I need to learn myself. I will purchase a pattern with specialty stitches and try to figure them out.

[@juliefowkes9796]

Great videos, rather a lot of ads sprinkled throughout which is rather over the top

[@quiltgram3056]

Interesting……I just watched the entire video and didn’t have any ads.

[@tammieearnest]

I’m sorry for your bad experience Julie.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

I love the houses too, but the last one I did, caused me some grief! I had to take out and restitch multiple times, because I kept miscounting, but it turned out great in the end. 🏚

[@tammieearnest]

It takes a lot of concentration, doesn’t it?!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

@@tammieearnest I'm learning to do it differently next time.

[@eugeneandcarriebartoszek1244]

After I used 1 thread I found I didn’t enjoy 2 threads 🧵

[@tammieearnest]

That’s my conclusion too!
