Yay! Thank you!

So great to see you and hear abt what’s up. 🌻🌻🌻

[@Thundergigglez]

⛑️Thank you Jordan for mentioning the hurricanes, I’m torn up thinking about our stitching community impacted by Helene and now Milton. ⛑️. Love your Halloween stitches! True Blood was very campy to me, I loved it! 🪡🧵☮️❤️

[@theresachucle5362]

Great catching up with you today love all your beautiful 🤩 projects and finishes. Have a great week and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩

[@creativeraquelb]

So many beautiful stitches! Looking forward to seeing you next week at Stitch West!

[@FruStitches]

Amazing projects, but I can't keep adding to my wishlist! 🤣😱 Happy stitching!

[@RhubarbPatchStudio]

“You guys are going to punch me.” Lol 😂 Whatever you decide, I absolutely love the fabric choice for that project!

[@birdseyestitches]

I really enjoyed your video and love your Flosstube name! I too am a tatoo’d stitcher 😊. The gingham skirt you are stitching is amazing and I can’t wait to see more progress. Happy stitching!

[@StephanieBurch-e3s]

Love your videos 💜 I added Bobbing for Pumpkins to my wishlist 😂

[@jenniferhass5683]

Such beautiful projects! I added the gather inn to my wishlist 😊 I’m so jealous of how much you accomplish each video!

[@lizzythestitcher]

Such beautiful projects! Love them all. Nice pick of fabric for the Christmas garden, I must remember to get mine out this month!

[@megastitches]

Welcome to the flosstube community 🎉🎉🎉 I have that 🦜 from HAED but not started it I haven’t seen it stitched so is nice to see it ! And I get it Teresa is a huge enabler 😂😊 you did great it gets easier

[@mikithompson745]

I love Ever After. I always say “ I’m just here for the food” and people never get the reference. Just getting back into stitching and now have a huge wish list.

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Hi Jordan, love seeing your progress! Want to start Christmas Garden also but I don't know about colors. Checking everyone's finishes. Like more Christmas colors not the listed ones. ❤

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I love this idea! I might change a few as well after seeing the called for in person!

[@tammyhege3935]

I had to pause your video to go and buy Boo to You. I was totally enabled! I love your stitching!

[@ThePajamaStitcher]

I am so excited about Real Comfort! I pre-ordered mine last week. I haven't even thought about what fabric and floss. I just knew I needed that chart. Maybe I should start planning it out. I also want to start Dasher and Dancer by Hobby House Press. I have been working on my fall/Halloween pieces because I was so ready for them. But now that I am, all I want to do is start my Christmas stitching. 😕 the dilemmas of being a multicrafter. Your wips are all beautiful.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Ooo going to look up that pattern now!

[@elizabethstites2486]

Thank you for sharing your projects! I look forward to your videos. I am going to preorder Real Comfort as well. Beautful stitching❤ Also, i love scary movies and psychological thrillers as well. Rewatching Haunting of Hill House now. Enjoy the spooky season. Love Liz in SLC

[@BuckeyeCrossStitcher]

My first time watching you. Nice projects!

[@kindredstitcher]

Our tvs must be connected to the same station/apps! I totally love suspense over horror.

[@StitchingMedievalist]

Loved seeing your updates and WIPs, as always. I'll have you know that Sir Gourdon is on my wishlist now! As for shows, I was about to recommend Midnight Mass until you said you had watched it. One of my favorite creepy/horror shows ever! If you're into vampires, though, you've GOT to watch What We Do In the Shadows (first watch the movie, then the show). It's a comedy rather than creepy, but is legit one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Happy stitching Jordan! :)

[@tattooed_stitcher]

The movie and the show is one of my favorites ever! I say many daily quotes from both 🤣

[@LesliesLakeLife]

I saw Real Comfort the other day on 123 stitch for preorder, I love it so much. I heard that Colin Farrell sits for 4 hours to get his makeup done before filming for the Penguin role. Crazy!

[@the_sleepystitcher]

I love your videos because your style is totally different from what I stitch so it's so fun to see your work. It makes me want to stitch different patterns though 😅 & the whole Love on the Run thing happened in a town I used to live in 😂 (weird flex, ok, I know) I had already moved when it happened but it was all everyone was talking about for a while. Lol.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Hahah I’d totally flex on it too 🤣

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Well now I need to start Boo to you 😂 I have the chart and maybe it’s even kitted.

[@Sheryle871]

I have always loved that pattern too. It’s calling me 😮

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Dooo it

[@juliedixon1206]

Great stitching, progress and projects. Also loved Rings of Power and can't wait for the next season! Have also been watching Lord of the Rings - and yes the extended editions are the only way!

[@KathysQuiltsandStitching]

I would never punch someone, but my mouth did gape open and I did gasp! I love your start ... and all your projects! A movie weekend sounds wonderful!

[@amandatatum4199]

I just love your videos!

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Thank you so much!!

[@jodiarmstrong5881]

I am actually stitching the Spooky Stitches pouch while watching your video 🎃! I love these little pouches. What kind of interfacing do you recommend for the back? Thanks for the Gangs of London recommendation. We are loving it. Happy Stitching 😊

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I was just going to use the really thin iron on interfacing I use when I do pillows! You can find it anywhere but I got mine from lady dot!

[@abbywellinghurst209]

Could you please show how you use your hoops in the lowery? I use Q-snaps in the lowery and am looking for an alternative. Thanks. Love your stitching. xx

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I don’t know that there’s anything to show! I just clamp them in like I would a qsnap!

[@kimhill545]

LOL about the Sister Wives comments! Every time I watch it I want to tell Robin to just get over it and move on; they aren't going to grow old and sit on a porch with you!!! LOL The Haunting of Bly Manor was awesome! We also enjoyed Broadchurch and Unforgotten (British crime dramas). Happy Halloween stitching! Love all that you showed today.

[@MarissaMcConnell]

With Ever After, I also love watching Ella Enchanted. It's also a kid's book. We watched Love on the Run at our Craft retreat this weekend. CRAZY. Even more crazy was The Girl in the Picture if you haven't wanted that yet. True Blood--the books are SO much better. It took me several tries to watch the show. Anna Paquin was NOT the Sookie in my head.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I love Ella enchanted!

[@lisacurry8312]

Loved this episode! First, I was one of the lucky ones to get Real Comfort at The Attic retreat last year, and while I love stitching with silks, for this one, I can't recommend the overdyed cottons enough! It's perfect as is. Second, have you watched Get Out by Jordan Peele? Ticks all the boxes for creepy, what is going on movie watching in October!

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Yes we watched get out last year! Such a good one! Thank you for the tip on using the cottons for real comfort! I had come to the conclusion that they are perfect your so right!

[@CindyWashburn-u3r]

Using hoops like that…how do you get the hoop lines out of the fabric when you are finished?

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I get almost no hoop marks with this method personally!

[@beejayem42]

🐨👍

[@seejillstitch]

Okay I totally thought when you said we “smoked a rack of ribs” that you were going to say “smoked a raccoon “ and I was horrid for just a second 😂 Your stitches look amazing. I think I need to start Boo to You. And I just finished The Gather Inn yesterday so I deserve a new start right!? I absolutely loved the fill in on Gather Inn. It was therapeutic. I just finished the Hobbit movies last week and I’m ready for my yearly watch of LoTR but I have to wait until Thanksgiving 😩 I have been hesitant to watch Rings of Power because I’ve heard some bad reviews but you’re convincing me to give it a try.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

A raccoon!!!! I mean times are hard but I’m not that desperate yet! 🤣 I LOVE rings of power you have to try it!

[@leelee771000]

As soon as you mentioned True Blood, the hissing vampires surfaced from deep in my memory. IIRC I preferred the books. Have you watched From, it's quite good?

[@tattooed_stitcher]

I haven’t! I’ve hear good things though!

[@avonbingham9226]

Are you stitching 1 or 2 threads over 2 on 40 count. I do 1 thread over 2 on 40 count.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

1 over 2!

[@klparker76401]

Jordan what thickness do you like for the Nurge beechwood hoop? I want to try one!

[@tattooed_stitcher]

123 stitch calls them “medium” but I think everywhere else says 16 mm

[@klparker76401]

@@tattooed_stitcher thank you

[@klparker76401]

@@tattooed_stitcher well, you sold out hoops at 123stitch! FQS wasn’t much more, so I have some coming😉

[@Jayne22]

Well done you putting extra pumpkins in. Yes I think you may need to redo the cheeks, they are clearly darker in the photo. I hate it when that happens. Trust me, I am still learning, and I have been doing this for more years than I care to name. Officially I am only admitting to half my real age, or slightly younger. Stitching is a continuous project. Keep stitching and yes, re starts have to happen, you are not being picky. However, practice with the 40 count with a single thread over two, and see if that works better for you. No shoes thrown here. My favourite is 32 count. Sorry if this seemed a tad teach-y, that is not the intent. Please keep stitching I enjoy seeing your work and progress. True Blood, read the books 📕, same with Salems Lot. Sorry this is so lengthy. 😊

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Thank you for the advice! I always use 1 strand over 2 on 40 but for some reason the cotton threads just aren’t easy for me to work with on that count!

[@Jayne22]

@@tattooed_stitcher I thought that might be the case, I was just checking. I think you have already decided on the solution, you just need to implement it. Which I am sure you will do, despite purchasing some 40 count. Use the 36. I hate Aida, but it does not always stop me using it, I just go carefully and slowly. Love your videos, please keep them up. J 🎇🙂

[@lisaporch8922]

How do you stitch and watch shows lol

[@tattooed_stitcher]

It can be a challenge haha I find I’m mostly listening to them and then a while later when I rewatch the show and actually looking at the tv i learn knew things I missed while looking down 🤣

[@SmallTownStitches]

I always love your videos!!! Your projects are beautiful! True Blood is awful. I don’t recommend. I have started Doctor Odyssey on Hulu. I have only watched the pilot episode so far but it was good and it has Percy from Dawson’s Creek 😂

[@theresapitts9550]

I loved True Blood and I thought Alexander skarsgard was great as Eric Northman. I am also addicted to Sister Wife’s.

[@SullyStitches]

😂😂😂 great video. Fun projects!!!! True Blood does not get better. It is terrible. Read the books!!!!! And Salem's lot was not great either.

[@tattooed_stitcher]

Hahaha okay so good to know that you for saving me time

[@SullyStitches]

@@tattooed_stitcher no problem at all. I was hoping salems lot would be ok. It really wasn't worth the watch.

[@APolsonGal]

Completely agree on true blood! Loved the books but even they fell off the last two books.

[@SullyStitches]

@@APolsonGal they sure did!!!!!!

[@CrossStitchtheGlobe]

Love True Blood but it gets worse so if you don’t like it me it won’t get better 😂
