Flosstube #46 - Finishes, WIP's, Market Haul and Alba (finally) Makes an Appearance

[@jennifermanian1420]

I never saw a pure white cat like Alba. She is beautiful. So happy your leg is healing. My 93 year old father was just diagnosed with Alzheimers. I will be there for him and my stepmother.

[@AlbaStitcher]

Yes Alba is all white! Wishing your father all the best, its a tough disease. Happy stitching 🧵

[@justinestitching]

Isn't Alba the most beautiful cat? So lovely to see her and all your lovely stitching. Definitely use the Tom et Lily threads for Itch to Stitch - they're perfect! Sorry to hear about your Dad's health and you and your Mum too, so hard for carers. You're in my prayers x

[@AlbaStitcher]

Thank you 🌻

[@swancottage1929]

So good to see you! I love your Dutch Strawberry piece! Oh, and the March Quaker is so cute! You are gathering quite a thread collection. Thank you for sharing all your projects and haul! Fantastic to hear you are finally healing. Happy stitching!

[@deborahfitzer6877]

Alba is such a beautiful cat! So nice to see her! Wonderful to hear that your leg is healing! I saw the chart with the medallions around the border and thought that’s a chart for Amanda . I also ordered Spring Quail. Love the dogwoods. And I ordered two Brenda Gervais charts, The Robins are Here and Spring Awakens! Your Quaker finish is very nice! Happy stitching!

[@AlbaStitcher]

Thanks Deborah 🌻 Yes so many great charts at market. Happy stitching 🧵

[@carolattrux3603]

Hi Amanda! What a treat to see the beautiful Alba! Glad for the news about your leg! Help for seniors is dismal all over the world, I think. So sorry for your parents and for you. It’s an arduous journey, for sure. Gorgeous picks for projects. Your colour pallet is so pretty! Take care and happy stitching! 🌷✨

Love your videos and it's lovely to see the beautiful Alba kitty! Lots of fun things from Market to keep you busy this year, and I agree those February threads should look great on that little chart!

I am so glad your leg is finally healing! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your market haul and getting a glimpse of beautiful Alba. Sorry to hear about your parents' situation. It's the same here in Germany: not much help for those who take care of a family member who suffers from dementia. When I see your beautiful finishes, I want to start so many new things! Your videos are so inspiring!

Hi Amanda! It’s great to hear your leg is finally on the mend! On the other hand, I’m very sorry to hear of your father’s continued decline, even though it wasn’t unexpected. I do pray for your Mom as it will be toughest for her. I hope she’s taking care of herself and making a little time to do things for herself. Your stitching is lovely as usual! The March Quaker is beautiful! Have a wonderful couple of weeks.

Hi Amanda! Loved all of your finishes especially the quakers. I'm super impressed that you have kept up with each month----I'm terrible at following through with stitches that are a series! Your market picks are fantastic---I'm waiting on a few myself, not that I need anymore projects, lol. Loved seeing Alba----she's beautiful:) Great news about your leg , wish the news was as promising for your Dad. Hugs to all of you during this difficult time. Take care and look forward to your next video.

You have done some beautiful stitching. I love the Quakers, but don't know when I will stitch my two. 😊 Seeing Alba was really nice. 😍 October House had two designs I saw and really liked. One of them is the one you got. I like most of your Nashville goodies. And the bead packs for the washing lines are well worth it. I think you chose good patterns, enjoyed seeing them.

Lovely to see all the new charts you purchased. I have had the skinny “Itch to Stitch” (and the scissor one) October House in and out of a shopping basket twice now. The new threads will look lovely. It is so very draining on the home carer looking after someone with dementia.

Great minds think alike!!! I've also just purchased 'Itch to Stitch' and was waiting 'til your video finished before ordering the called for threads so I can make a start - BUT - as soon as you showed the Tommy & Lilli thread pack I though 'wow, they'll be gorgeous for that pattern'!! Lovely to see gorgeous Alba too.

Sending lots of good thoughts and prayers for your mom and dad. It's a tough spot to be in. Love how your Dutch Strawberries turned out and the colors on your Ellen Barber! My stitching mojo is on a bit of a hiatus these days, but seeing your March Quaker is reminding me to get going on mine! I liked seeing yours without the initials, since I wanted to leave initials off the piece, but wondered if it would look ok without them. Have a great couple of weeks!

Hello Alba you little beauty. I think it would be a great idea to use your new threads for the Itch to Stitch chart. They look like they'd be perfect. Darn, I was so hopeful when you talked about the B12 for your dad. At least it worked for a little while and maybe that time can give you good memories. As for your leg, whew.

I am so glad you got good news regarding your leg, Amanda. Also, loved seeing Alba today...she really posed for the camera. Continued prayers for your mom and dad as well. Your monthly quakers are so nice but I can see where they look a bit deceptive. Those quakers are much more work than they appear to be. And they have to be perfect...no fudging with them:) I saw two charts I wanted from Market but I have not ordered them yet. One is Brenda Gervais Home Sweet Home and the other was the cute chicken coop pin keep by Beth Twist. By the way I finished Spring Awakens and it is hanging on the wall in my kitchen. But I think Spring has gone back to sleep here in Alabama as it is cold again!! :) On to Summer Refreshes. Happy Stitching.

It’s been some time since I’ve last watched one of your videos…I was soooo pleased to come upon this one! I must say I was excited to see that you’ve been working on Ellen Barber. I had her sampler kitted up for awhile now and just pulled it out this week. You’re right when you say it’s a joy to stitch and works up quickly, I completed it in four days. I chose the 100/3 silks and a 40 count fabric so mine is rather petite! Again, so happy to come upon your video and catch up with all your goings on!❤

Thank you for showing us all the goodies from the market etc, I enjoy them all albeit vicariously. Sad about your Dad and your poor Mum; dementia is so scary and seeing a loved one not being “there” as normal must be heartbreaking. Let alone the constant care for their physical issues like lack of mobility, of coordination, and so on. Wishing you and your Mum strength to carry on helping him.
