This is a video diary about your progress and stitching…no apologies about showing exactly where you are. Love seeing and hearing about you both and your stitchy progress.

[@bethanyjohnson2501]

Amy, like so many before me have already said, don't worry about showing the same piece. I'm not a fast stitcher either and I appreciate knowing there are others who don't stitch at the speed of light. I love that the initial takeaway from Allie's story is to not use lockboxes! 😂😂 You guys are fantastic. Thanks for another awesome video. Your stitching is amazing and I really enjoy seeing your pieces come to life. Have a blessed day! 💕

[@HandcraftedbyHarvey]

OMG, the Fourth Wing cup is awesome!!! Amy, I’m slow too but I’m okay with that! Life happens and sometimes there just isn’t enough time in the day. I love seeing your progress, just keep on stitching’! Ally, I’m a late night stitcher but I am finding the later I stitch the more I rip so I feel your pain but it’s going to be beautiful!

[@bobbiejotansley3892]

Amy don’t ever think you have to stitch quicker and think that we are bored, we are not! I love seeing the progress you are making on your current WIPS. Life is busy and you are doing just fine. 💕 I love watching you both and all your projects are amazing! Can’t wait until your next video, happy stitching!, 😊

[@kathleenlove649]

I think you’d really enjoy Running with Scissors stitching with Jane and Julie, and The Hathaway Stitchers who are sisters.

[@LostOurNeedles]

We will check them out!

I love to see your progress. Don't ever think you need to be speed demons stitching. I am slower than a seven year itch. I have been working on Lady of the Flag for about 8 months and still not done. I am pretty much a monogamous stitcher. Having multiple projects started kicks my ADD into hyper drive. Then I stop functioning altogether. I have a ton of projects kitted up but not started. Sunday is my birthday and then of course Mothers Day is next month. So Vonna from the Twisted Stitcher designed a lap frame with a woodworker and it is a universal lap stand. She showed it in her last Flosstube. My husband and my two sons are getting me the lapstand for the two special days. I am so excited to get it. I so wish I was going to Stitch West but I couldn't get on the internet the day of signup. I used to live in Utah so I would be in my old stomping grounds. I hope you both have the time of your life.

[@stitcheswellwithvodka3534]

I meant to post this on your last video when you mentioned how some poeple get so much stitching done. And you wondered how they can with keeping up a house and /or job. I'll be honest, I turned 56 yesterday. I could spend more time cleaning, helping others, etc. And I "should" but life is so short. I know you both know this lol. So I decided deep cleaning is rare at my house. I keep it surface clean. I probably spend 30-60 minutes a day on the laundry, cooking, pulling weeds, stuff like that. But I want to enjoy my hobbies and family. Cleaning, chores... all that can wait. People, esp our friends and family, can't wait. :) xoxo

[@feidie64]

I love the Poltergeist Pirates :) Have a great month! ❤

[@tricia999]

Hi Girls! Love your videos! Amy, I finished Forever in Peace but have not FFO’d it yet. It’s so awesome and I need to get it done. Ally, hang in there…end of the school year is coming! That would’ve been so funny to have one of your students open the lockbox!😂 sorry that was such a debacle for you!

[@ginacates6110]

Enjoyed your video & seeing what you're stitching! Please don't feel that you're a slow stitcher, you do what brings you joy. I'm a slow stitcher too & typically work on 1 sometimes 2. Enjoy your weekend ladies!

[@TheQcaller]

Great video ladies! Life happens and sharing that is what builds community . Those two new bird charts are just as cute as can be!

[@cynthiagriggs4314]

Enjoy hearing about your lives, never boring! Don’t worry about being a slower stitcher. I’m about an hour from Forbidden Fiber, love their shop!

[@LostOurNeedles]

That would be amazing! Expensive! But Amazon!

[@cynthiagriggs4314]

@@LostOurNeedles you should plan a trip! I would definitely drive over to meet up!!

[@kellithornton6552]

I'm always so excited to see your new videos! I haven't stitched much lately because seeing your Fourth Wing project and hearing you talk about it made me finally break down and start reading the book... It's so good! So, thanks for the stitching and reading inspiration 😊

[@LostOurNeedles]

I’m so glad you are loving the book!!! Thanks for watching and your support!

[@SaraGracieR]

I see other comments saying this, but I will just say it too. We love seeing your progress! It's ok if you are working on a huge project and show it each time! I'm glad you are still working on it! It's encouraging to see you stick with it and we love seeing it slowly get done more and more. 😊 It's different than looking at the picture on the cover of the pattern and looking at your actual stitches. I feel the same way as well! I work and have a 5 year old son and I can't stitch every day. There's too much going on! But when I can I'm happy! It took me a month to finish a smaller project. And with all those color changes I know it takes a longer time. Love sweet wing studio by the way!! She is one of my favorite designers!

[@debbietam5854]

I love how you keep it real. And don't feel the need to start a ton of projects just to say you have started a ton of projects. 🙌🏻

[@moosemom2010]

This is supposed to be a fun hobby. Never worry about how slow or fast you stitch or “boring” us with the same projects. Everyone has different things going on in their lives and you need to not worry about your speed-just your enjoyment 🫎

[@theanywherehomestead314]

Thanks for another awesome video. I’ve watched you from the beginning. Amy, I totally feel the same way! I’m slow. But the house work has to get done also. I wish it didn’t. 😂 have a blessed few weeks. Can’t wait until the next time.

[@TheCarolinaStitchers]

Love catching up with you both ❤ I must be brain dead as well .. I heard no tapping last video 😂 Happy Stitching!

[@grmanat]

The lock box guy was probably pocketing the money!

[@LostOurNeedles]

I don’t disagree. It was just a very unpleasant event.

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I am most definitely a morning person so thank you for keeping me company while I did a little stitching. No worries on seeing the same project each video. I love seeing a project come together from video to video. Stitching should bring you joy, no matter how you approach it and it’s so fun to see how each different stitcher approaches that stitching. As a paper crafter and stamper, I would love to see any cards/projects you create - please share! The Current Mood piece is going to look amazing with the colors you have chosen. I’m so looking forward to seeing that one stitch up. Thanks for joining us! And can’t leave without saying how much I love the 4th Wing cup!

[@creativeraquelb]

That story about the locksmith is WILD and it's sad that you were charged so much for him to just break the lock in 5 minutes. I would have left a similar review as well! Love how Amy's pirate piece is coming along. The fabric choice is perfect!

[@LostOurNeedles]

Thank you! And it definitely was a crazy day.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

I thank you for sharing Roses channel, loved her. I think that locksmith really rooked you, what a con. Every stitch has their own speed, some have more time. You do you. It's always good to see your projects. Your sister/daughter is very talented too. Stay safe🤗🇬🇧

[@TheStitchingOwl]

I voiced the same concern on my last flosstube about showing the same project every time since last September but the comments are coming back that they enjoy watching the progress happen and that is how I feel for your channel. We are happy to watch your projects grow.

[@kishawood6494]

I love seeing your progress!❤

[@kayhelland9599]

Stitch at a pace that makes YOU happy. I love watching you two. The piece with the umbrella is going to be beautiful. I can visualize the shimmering rain all around the silhouette. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@shinglespringsstitcher]

❤. Please don’t worry about how fast your stitch. It’s suppose to be fun!

[@aliciapugh3075]

Thanks for your quick response

[@SpinDrift55]

I don’t get much done…don’t worry about the time it takes….it’s a journey! Love you two! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cindyrichards6019]

Thanks for another great video! Love the Spring Quaker onthat color of fabric. Can't wait to see the finish. Thanks for sharing all the information ❤

[@CorpusChristiCrossStitcher]

Enjoyed the banter! Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful stitching projects!

[@lindacraig5056]

Thanks for the fun video. I think we all go brain dead at times. Sometimes I don't even think I can count.Matter of fact I know I can't LOL Oh well somehow things work out not always exactly like the pattern but who is going to know besides me? Love your sisters cup and the clicking didn't bother me. We all have to do our crafts whenever we can fit them in.. Great projects ladies. Happy stitching

[@Griffinand3]

Great video! Keep up the good job!

[@patandrews6963]

Do you mean Alexa?? I Like all your stitching. Anxious to see the ship further along.

[@FlossBossinCousins]

Oh how I enjoyed my morning with you two!!!

[@AllisonNorris13]

💜☮️

[@crosstitcher2]

That is the issue…I don’t maintain my home…🤣🤣 I just cross stitch… always love your videos…

[@krafty_kay_jay]

Thank you for another fun video, I truly enjoy watching💖✨

[@joyceclowser3371]

I don’t mind seeing your projects as they progress. I do not get bored. And I thought your sister crafting while you were over, Ally, was awesome! I loved you were all together doing what you enjoyed. My sisters and mom used to get together and craft. Getting older makes traveling harder. There are only 3 of us left and we can only get together 3 or 4 times a year. You just enjoy and bang away!! Hugs!

[@WendysWhimsicalStitches]

I'm sorry that locksmith really conned you; feeding off your desperation of getting your documents. I might have cancelled the check or disputed the credit card charge once he began the harassment! And Amy, please don't try to compare to other stitchers, as many may have more stitching time. It's good to see what you have been working on.

[@danitabennett5174]

Ally! You’re not brain dead it’s just life we’re tired and busy and things just happen. I love your calendar I have one just like it from dollar store so $1.25 is better than 29. You guys have a great channel. Keep it up and good luck.

[@UntwistyourStitches]

Thank you for the mention. The fabric did come across very bright, but I like the whole Fire and Ice analogy. I may do a second Zucca on a teal or blue. You inspired me. I love seeing your progress on your projects and just having a few on the go is just fine. I have no more then 8 to 12 going at once. I want to start and finish all my projects so people see alot of the same projects. The noise from last video was not bad and I assumed that some one was getting dinner ready.....😂

[@loriclarke2931]

I hope you love Poltergeist Pirate as much as I do.

[@Linda_James]

I only work on two or three projects at a time. I want to finish projects not just start them 😮

[@aliciapugh3075]

What fabric is Poltergeist on ? I'm with you on starting to many projects. I can't keep up.

[@LostOurNeedles]

I'm using the called for fabric which is 28 ct. BANG cashel linen by crossed wing collection. I had to buy it at www.glendonplace.net
