FlossTube #43: Let's Catch Up!

[@caroljshockey91]

You remind me so much of my dear cousin who was my sewing cohort. She in California and me in Idaho. We would share everything through our phones and meet up at events. I lost her to Cancer in 2019 and have missed her beyond words. Watching you was like hearing from her. Thank you for being an inspiration and blessing to me.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Aww - I'm so sorry about your cousin. What a wonderful relationship you must have had. I'm gad I remind you of her! ❤❤

[@elleemen4238]

I always enjoy your videos. I really appreciate that you are always suggesting ways to improve or grow this hobby. Very important in product life cycles. Thanks for your creativity and business sense.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you so much - what a sweet comment!

[@kristinejellum6289]

When I came back to stitching in 2020 and flosstubers were talking about ‘orts’ I laughed. I thought how funny because orts are scraps from a meal. Thanks for your videos, always enjoyable! Kris

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I've never heard that definition - good to know!

[@jkspes]

This SUMMER in Oregon has been the sunniest one I can remember!! Thank you for all your great ideas!!

[@sewmesarah]

Absolutely love your new designs for sisterhood/brotherhood/fellowship of the needle. Perfect!

[@amyhudelson4662]

I can’t believe Summer is almost over. Happy Stitching 🧵

[@donnamccaffrey4364]

It was such a treat to discover stitch camp, I really enjoyed this summer with each months challenge. Thank you so much ❤

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I'm so glad you camped along with us this summer!

[@mitzistosich6997]

I am ready for summer to be over. I love fall and all of the coziness it brings ♥️

[@SarahsStitchySpot]

Thank you for the wonderful video, Sheri. Always a delight.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@MarleneBush]

Your full coverage piece is so cute Sheri…I bet it would be adorable on the front of a project bag. I love strawberries and those are wonderful. Blessings, Marlene

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you Marlene!

[@leslierupp73]

Beautiful finish! Love watching while stitching.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching!

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

Really enjoyed the catch-up and hearing about the retreat....You are so generous with your sharing and I so appreciate it.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you!

[@trupple4725]

Summer is almost over and my favorite season will begin. Enjoy the remaining summer days! 😊

[@jacquelineleibfried4691]

Your videos are among the best on floss tube. Entertaining, informative, educational and just plain enjoyable. I truly appreciate all the time and effort you put into them. Summer is almost over in my mind. I love Fall and Sept. is my birthday month so I will stitch Fall and Halloween.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Aww - thank you so much for such a sweet comment - totally made my day!

[@Merrcraw15]

Great to see you today. Loved your Crowns and Shields finish by Blackbird Designs! Take care. Happy Stitching! 🧵

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching! Summer

[@lavon308]

Summer summer it's gone what a bummer. Fall fall has my heart of all the seasons y'all.

[@jordynkirschbaum1277]

The suns tilt is changing from summer to fall. What a nice little chat. Your travel case is beautiful even with the ‘wear and tear’ 😢 your ideas to cover it will be just fine. I appreciate how your share ideas and options throughout your floss tube. Until next time.

[@lisapb5042]

Sad to see summer coming to an end, but the colors of fall are so beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@annemousseau8757]

Your berries are great. Oh my your cute pillows. Thank you for doing cross stitch camp.

[@dianeholleran3830]

I’ve just found your channel this summer and I’m enjoying everything you stitch and your sweet voice and personality.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I'm so glad you found me - thanks for watching, Diane!

[@vickiinkansas1399]

Goodbye summer. Fall and cooler weather can’t come soon enough. Love the colors in the CM charts.

[@faeriepabich6414]

Awesome video! You definitely enable me, Miss Sheri! The CM designs are all amazing and so different. See you soon!😍

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

🙂❤

[@aprilroberts7131]

I love your summer camp-for me, participating once per year makes it a unique kind of fun. I tend to lose interest when there’s always some challenge going. Thanks again! ⛺️

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Same with me, so summertime and a one month Winter Camp seems just about right to me!

[@rhondanord2436]

Dog days of Summer! Bring on the pumpkin spice 😊

[@ninapulliam9200]

Summer is coming to an end! The weather is feeling better outside these days.Thanks Cherie!

[@juliehoyer8469]

Summer is ending, fall is my favourite! Great video, thank you for sharing!

[@stitchingscottie4505]

It was great to see you at Summer School again this year! It was so much fun that I didn't want it to end. Your new pattern really says it all about our community. I am stitching my small for the smalls exchange at my next retreat. Also, planning to make some table gifts for my tablemates too. Hopefully will get to stitch some on the samplers we received from Summer School too. Stay cool and enjoy all your stitching! Dottie

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Fun to see you too, Dottie! Fingers crossed we can both get in again next year!

[@nolamcneely7857]

Hello from Tennessee! I just found your flosstube channel and completely enjoyed stitching while watching! Thank you. I'm glad summer is nearly gone so I can get back outside in the garden. 💙

[@joyceandrewes9178]

I'm not ready for fall but I started stitching Christmas ornaments for all my grandchildren. I love Christmas so I enjoy working on them. Thank you, I really enjoy all your flosstubes.

[@CrombieTX]

So excited for a new video. The "Fruit of the Spirit" was a great idea for the sampler.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you 🙂

[@krisboulton856]

This summer has been hot. Bees flying around make it seem cooler.

[@tamimorgan1487]

I so enjoy your flosstube! You always have such wonderful things to share! My summer has gone by too fast! I think your new chart is fabulous! I ordered one before your flosstube was over!😁😂 you are such an enabler! Happy stitching!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@sherryduckett7775]

Thank goodness summer is coming to an end! I raise honey bees so that bag struck pure Joy in my heart! It’s gorgeous. I love all things that are Stitchers. I just framed your Needleworker that I got when Marlene and I were in the other shop! Now I’ll need y he new sisterhood of the needle. ❤️❤️

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Ha - you and Marlene got the first two copies of Sampler Maker!!

[@jenniferparr5959]

I am going to miss summer! Colder weather means more stitching time, but also no more outdoor Pickleball!

[@marthacook]

I so enjoyed the cosmetic case turned into a cross stitch case video. Not only does it show our creativity but our quirky personality. What a lovely idea to fill in the cartouches with the fruit of the spirit. Oh no, don’t ever think I will challenge myself to make a full coverage project. Your little owl is so cute. I want to finish a Lori Holt pattern and start my smaller projects I have kitted. Summer days are over, fall is here in Maine.

[@tessd7075]

Texas SUMMERs are HOT! My first time seeing you. Loved the show and also a lover of the chocolate covered coffee beans.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching and nice to meet you!

[@cindyflinchbaugh7155]

Summer is a busy time for harvesting all the yummy veggies. I am already decorated for Fall. Thanks for sharing all your stitching and finishing ideas. I learn so much from your videos.

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

You are keeping me company while i stitch. I added a few things to my wish list. ❤

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

So happy to keep you company!

[@cathymadrid6044]

I enjoy your floss tube. I love summer.

[@jodyeickhoff2237]

This SUMMER has been too hot! Loved the flosstube!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Lovely to spend time with you here in UK - the summer has gone and it's raining - which means more stitching time yay :)

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching and glad I have a stitchy friend in the UK!

[@chrisc6510]

Summer has gone too fast. September will be like the rest of the months this year…2 WIPGO projects, 3 more Christmas things and some finishing! Supporting spouses. To my husband you are the “StLouis lady” Cause he remembers you lived here. So he is always willing to watch you ! 😊

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Ha - tell him hi!

[@barbolivieri-soshesewsquil4867]

I am a lover of summer and the high temps! Winter seems to last too long here in Western NY! Great stitchy tips and another fun video! Love your new pattern! 😊

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks Barb!

[@margaretd467]

Thanks for a lovely FlossTube - lots of great ideas and projects! I love fall so I’m definitely ready for summer to be over. 😊

[@athenabesa380]

I always learn so much from you. I hate seeing summer go….

[@athenabesa380]

Hi Sheri! You do a lot of 1x1 do you have a special technique or do you have a flosstube where you talk about your technique? Thank you !

[@mirpaxvv]

I love how everyone has used the Summer in their comments. I have no plans for September. Just keep stitching.😉

[@lindaskinner5887]

Thank you for sharing your ideas and experiences.

[@flowerpowerritter-kj2fb]

I thought my husband was so supportive too…he would drop me off at my favorite shop and say “take your time I’m going to get coffee” well… he went and picked up more than coffee,! I don’t think her hobby was cross-stitch! 🤯…. Lol! Now I enjoy the symbol X in more ways than one! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@donnaboyd5108]

I'm ready to say good bye to the summer heat and hello to a more temperate fall. I plan to continue working on a gift that I am making for Christmas. Your new chart is adorable!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you Donna!

[@susanlopiano7885]

I can't believe how quickly August went by. We recently moved this Summer to South Carolina. Fortunately Idalia was not all that bad. Alot of rain and wind, oh yes, I forgot to mention 3 tornado warnings in our area. Thankfully we were safe! Moving from Upstate New York, this will take a little getting used too! We love it here. Thank you for sharing your stitching.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Hope you love your new location!

[@ronnietall1323]

Thanks for sharing all your fun things!! I’m always happy for summer to be over, I like the coolness of fall!

[@AliciaO_UpperMeadowStitcher]

I’m so sad summer is coming to an end. I have loved cross stitch camp, thank you for this!

[@leishycraftsalot]

Sheri I'm here in Australia and we are just heading into spring and I can't wait for summer. This has been my first time completing cross stitch camp and I've had a ball. Thankyou so much for organising. ❤

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I hope you have a good spring and summer - and hopefully not too hot!

[@craftylibrarian5709]

Since summer is coming to an end, I am feeling the need to finish some of my sampler projects before Christmas stitching begins. The year is going by so quickly! You have given us another great video. Thank you!

[@lindaroberts9195]

Summer

[@deborahhall5703]

Summer is a great time of year to relax and refresh ❤😊

[@judyyunt2758]

I am enjoying summer especially in Littleton, CO. The foothills are fantastic!

[@tammys8547]

I love the Fruit of the Spirit idea!

[@annm8680]

I want to thank you for summer camp. I learned to make beaded scissor fobs/zipper pulls and adding stitched hexagons by challenging myself. I definitely think you need to stitch something for the top of your case and trim out the edge. Your new pattern would be perfect with added motifs. I also like Teresa Kogut’s Stitchy Bird. My husband is somewhat familiar with the different flosstubers I watch. He likes to say when he walks in, “Is she still talking?” no matter who I am watching. He is very supportive and often expresses his admiration for those of you who make these videos. My plans for September are to work on my six or more sampler wips. We are going on a week long Carribean cruise so I will take something with a lot of fill in since I’ll be sipping on margaritas on a couple of beach days in port.😅

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Your cruise plans sound perfect - stitching and sipping. Enjoy!!

[@SharonCarbine]

Fascinating and informative, as usual, Sheri. Thank you! Now that summer is ending, looking forward to cooler weather. :-D

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching, Sharon!

[@virpir2453]

Feels like summer is over. I have no plans for September. Your flosstube is really informative. Thank you.

[@geriwasnesky7214]

It’s been a hot summer. Thanks. 💜

[@grandmastraw]

Soooo, I guess it was hot in Arizona….I am not ready for summer to end. Your red case is decorated so beautifully and then when you showed the worn corners (already!) I was heartbroken for you. I hope you find the perfect embellishment for the edge of your cover. Your videos are always so inspiring. Thank you. Blessings and take care.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I will figure out something, because I do love it and want to keep on using it!

[@lesliedelooze3681]

Plans for September-a sampler (one that needs finishing!) and a couple smalls for gifts, including for a stitch retreat and a new baby. I remember those days of stitching in the 1980s, and actually the 1970s, one project at a time! I like having choices now. It’s like books-you read/stitch what you’re in the mood for.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

I totally agree - love having choices!

[@shariwitt1977]

You have the best flosstube on KZbin! Your crown piece is just gorgeous and it is especially nice with the fruits of the spirit. In September I will be working on four different Christmas pieces all smallish in size, all in different reds. I have been stitching on Christmas since July to try to keep cool during this hot summer!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Aww - that is so sweet. Thank you so much, Shari!

[@quiltma]

Sherri I have loved this years Summer Cross Stitch Camp. You are an excellent host. I will be stitching Halloween smalls for a group of friends who want to have a wonderful Halloween bowl display.

[@indypam461]

I have just gotten back into Cross stitching this summer so it’s been a wonderful happy summer for me

[@Stitchesby_Amy]

Thank you for being our SUMMER camp leader. Plans for September is similar to Maynia, 4 days each week on an existing WIP, one main and a couple seasonal smalls.

[@catrinabrunell9889]

I am glad summer is almost over. Looking forward to cooler temperatures

[@joyadams1307]

I can’t wait until summer is over and fall begins!! 😊

[@jackikilstrom3683]

I’m glad the heat is summer is almost over!

[@lizflorom6021]

I will be glad when summer is over!

[@lindamcgrew3385]

Actually having it look worn is good, lots of traveling! 😊

[@carlarigel252]

Thanks for sharing another wonderful flosstube episode. I don't want to see summer go! I have no particular stitching plans for September. It's just whatever comes along. Happy stitching!

[@suzannaperun7460]

I'm glad summer is drawing to a close. I am stitching all of the fall things now!

[@jeannettesmith501]

I've stitched all summer without a plan so for September I want to focus. My priority will be the Peacock Manor sampler. All your great ideas have my head spinning. So fun to think about!

[@robindemack6415]

I am so ready for Summer to end but unfortunately, we are still wearing shorts in December on the island in Texas! I want Summer to end because Hurricane season is at its peak and the sooner hot weather leaves the sooner we get Fri TD that will push away the storms! I loved all your beautiful projects and wonderful ideas! I am going to go on your website and order some of the patterns that you presented. Thanks for sharing! I love your flosstubes…they are so well done!😊

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks so much, Robin!

[@AftonGroveKnitter]

I will be glad when SUMMER is over!

[@kathleencopegog6930]

I love going to retreats and your right about every aspect. I have so enjoyed meeting new people and making new friends. Hope to visit your shop someday

[@mistesmeltzer853]

Now that Summer is almost over, my plan for September is quaker sampling’s III..I enjoy participating in sampler September since samplers are not a normal pattern I stitch so it’s fun once a year to work on one. Last year I stitched A Bee C by primrose and enjoyed having a focus piece for a month. Thank you for wonderful flosstubes..I enjoy your stories and see what you have been stitching. Happy Stitching 🙋‍♀️

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thanks for watching!

[@susand3po218]

Hanging on to Summer with its lovely flowers, hummingbirds & baby cottontails! Love your videos and looking forward to the next. My goal for September is to start and finish several smalls - looking forward to each season.

[@allisonferber5474]

So much great information and wonderful ideas. Love the shop updates as well. Hope it’s cooling down a bit for you. It’s still blazing hot 🥵 down here in the Phoenix area.

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Thank you! And yes, we've had some lovely evening and morning temps lately - much needed!

[@idacole2443]

We are camping this weekend as a tribute to our last summer outing. I’m trying to talk the Mr. Into one Autumn camp out. What a lot of great eye candy to see. Beautiful stitching. See you in September 😊

[@brendaoldyarnsteryahoo328]

Summer has been so hot! I am ready for cooler temperatures.

[@marylyons4089]

Another idea for your travel case might be to add some antique lace pieces to add to your vintage style and hide the edges.

[@hucl_berrystitcher]

I plan on doing Sampler September and finishing up some WIPS.

[@susanmurphy7887]

With My Hands by Theresa - I have that one too, and I am so anxious to get that one started. Especially since I have now seen one actually stitched. Probably switch the hen out for a cat, but I don't envision making many changes in this pattern. I agree, Theresa is one very gifted artist. That's a shame about your case, and after you fixed it up so nicely. I think the trim you mentioned would work and would make yours a little more "you" as well. Good luck with it.

[@carolineioannidis4186]

Sherri I love your ❤ Travel case and all the goodies ❤❤❤

[@dianemckoon7808]

That was fun! Liked seeing all of your pretties! You are so nice to listen to. Sorry to see the damage on your red case😢 Take care

[@sharontesi4273]

I love the sunshine in summer, but not the heat. In September, I want to start Liz Mathew's 12 Days of Christmas (I have the first 4). Thanks for a great (as always!) flosstube.

[@vickybossom9957]

Thoroughly enjoy your videos. My favorite season is summer and I'm always sorry to feel fall in the air. I'm focusing on samplers for September. Your new pattern is sensational! .oozing forward to getting it and stitching it. ❤

[@deniseh2594]

Yes, I read your descriptions on your items. Love them. I just looked through my WIPS last night and was soooo close to finishing two. So that is my plan for next month unless, you know, squirrel!

[@karendavis-macon9658]

Summer is a time for relaxation and vacations!! Sherri... I wish you were my LNS!! My September STITCHING will be to work on 8 samplers (2 a w eek)that are already started plus one more for my BD start (2nd)!! STITCHING friends I must get!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2023!!

[@ColoradoCrossStitcher]

Well, we can be your online LNS! 🙂

[@mickeybalsters2112]

Summer has been to hot here, in Texas. Can’t wait for fall.

[@sugarplumstitcher]

Thank you for hosting summer camp. For my August stitch I did your Thankful Turkey pattern on 25 count, such a happy stitch. I look forward to winter camp. Your new pattern is very lovely. I have started a bewitching pixie from Nora Corbett on the first and then on the fourth I started a birthday fairy for a gift. The only other plans I have for September is to do a small sunflower stitch. It was fantastic to see your finishes.

[@kathyg6998]

I love the Summer months, & hate to see it end! Fall is my second favorite though!

[@bethflorentino3169]

Sheri, so glad to see back on floss tube 🥰 I will glad for this hot SUMMER to be over, looking forward to fall🍁🍂🌻 your travel stitching box was awesome!! My September plans will be to work on my red smalls that are all kitted up 😀thank you again for summer camp 2023 🤩

[@dianemccoy4634]

I have more summer projects to finish, then start on autumn pics. looking forward to fall, i love summer, but will not miss 104 degree days. Thanks for you lovely videos

[@karenbrasher4508]

Summer is almost over. It was fun to see what you did with your case, it gave me some ideas. I liked the fun fall projects to make. Have a great week!

[@jwascher]

I have had a lovely summer. I am so grateful. I will be stitching for Christmas gifts in September. Lots of ornaments done but now a few larger stitches. I have to be organized have my projects done ahead. Bonnie
