[@maryjohineydesigns]

Dear Periwinkle Stitcher! We are so grateful to you for sharing our silk velvet strawberry kits with your lovely viewers. We have received sooooo many orders in just a few days. Claire and I are building each one right now. You can’t imagine how your generous words about our kit has given us much-needed exposure. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And, greetings to all from California!

[@periwinklestitcher]

You are so welcome! I can't wait to get some time to make mine!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you! 😊

[@suzilou02]

Hi Sian, Finally had a chance to watch your KZbin on our travels around UK and Ireland. So inspiring you have such a natural talent of finding beautiful things to stitch and make. I wish I could order a whole bunch of things from the stitchery to take home with me! I might have to get my daughter to bring some things home to Australia on her Christmas visit. The hanging star cushions are divine as is the quilt 💖

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@emilywilliams3237]

Sian, all of this, every single thing, is so fantastic. You are entertaining and have a beautiful collection of WIPs. And your embroidery - so inspiring. Thank you for another great video!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@sherryrudder6035]

Beautiful work. Loved seeing all your work.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much!

[@homesweethomehandmade]

Hello Sian well that was a feast for the eyes! Thanks for keeping me company whilst I stitch. I’m glad that the geisha bag arrived safely to you, enjoy using it. I too ordered the cozy tales book, the cross stitch designs are so sweet. Funny you should mention Donna Rae @flanneljammiesfarm as I’m flying to the US at the end of the month to see/stay with her 😊😊 Looking forward to your next episode. Happy Stitching best wishes Natalie 🪡🧵💜

[@periwinklestitcher]

Hi Natalie - I remember you go to stay with Donna and hope you have a fab time in the US with her!

[@TheSnailGarden]

Thank you for another lovely flosstube. Lots of beautiful stitching and finishes. I could sit and listen to you all day.💕

[@periwinklestitcher]

You are so welcome Paula! Tx for being so kind! I look forward to your next FT :)

[@Roberta.SABLEStitchers]

Always happy to see a new video from you Sian and I enjoyed reliving our time together. I love seeing all that your projects and plans. You always share so much loveliness.❤

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much Roberta!

[@Sues_knots_and_crosses]

Hi Sian, such a fab video as usual. Love seeing all your projects. I loved the embroidered piece with those beautiful blue flowers. And I loved the embroidered book you showed before. You do realise you’re a total enabler. 😂 I love seeing your quilts and that fabric you’d bought with the fleece for the backing was gorgeous. I’ve only just started using a sewing machine so thank goodness I can’t spend on things like that yet!! Look forward to your next episode. Take care x

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thanks so much Sue 😊

[@diannekosboth2700]

With all the beautiful projects you work on, it is my pleasure to watch your presentations.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you very much Dianne!

[@cyndythomas7217]

Please don’t worry about how long you are taping. I love watching and perhaps if you would slow down I could capture more information. As it stands I watch and rewatch 😂. Nicki Franklin is coming to Los Angeles in January 2025!!! She will have two classes at French General!! You are so lucky to enjoy Nicky there in the UK. Love your work, please feel free to share it all.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you Cyndy! You are in for such a treat!

[@neilstephen6761]

Love the sweater you have on. Your gifts are beautiful the bags are exceptional. Pumpkin Spice is so cute and beautiful colours. Always enjoy seeing your progress on your WIPS. Happy stitching

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much! How kind :)

[@katherinem7835]

Every time I watch you I can't get over your embroidery stitching. So, so beautiful.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much Katherine! 😀

[@danvillebelle6977]

I'm quite late from the air date of this flosstube but I just had to say hello from a blissed-out new subscriber in Texas. All your stitching is absolutely stunning and such a feast for the eyes and the spirit. Sunday is my "stitch all day if I feel like it" day and I am so enjoying binging your videos today while I work on a large project. Incidentally I'm so happy to watch and support a Welsh stitcher - my other passion besides stitching is genealogy and I am a descendant of Welsh Quakers from Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire. I'm extremely proud to have Welsh heritage and often wear a t-shirt that says "The meek shall inherit the earth...the brave get Wales!" ;)

[@periwinklestitcher]

Oh thank you so much for watching! I hope you enjoy stitching today all day - sending all good wishes to you from sunny Wales today :) My grandparents farmed in Pembrokeshire!!

[@christinalewis6342]

So happy to have found you on IG and now on this!! I had no idea what Flosstube was & took the weekend to binge all of your episodes while I stitched. I only recently go back into cross stitching after 20 year break, raising kids. Thank you for sharing all your lovely makes, inspiring us all. I want to be friends from across the sea that maybe someday get to meet in real life! I too found the Stitchery over the summer and fell in love with all of her work, watching Nicki's tutorials and learning embroidery. Thank you so so much!!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Oh thank you Christina! Flosstube is so much fun! Happy stitching :)

[@nerissasstitchinglifestyle]

Lovely to see you again Sian. Congratulations on all your beautiful finishes. Love them. Your are making wonderful progress on Charlotte- I have not stitched on mine in several weeks, I so need to pull her out again. Happy stitching❤❤

[@periwinklestitcher]

Tx so much Nerissa! I am about to watch your big finish FT - can't wait :)

[@betsykohl7226]

I too am working on the Stacy Nash Christmas at Hollyberry Farm. I am stitching on 36 count Crème Brûlée by Tabby Cat. I started in the lower left and have the lower half of the house done now. It got put in time out for a bit since I was struggling with what floss to use on the window tops and roof. I wanted something verigated like in the picture. But that called for floss has changed since the chart was released and I didn’t like it. I was able to discuss with Stacy at the Quilters Station retreat in September and we came up with a plan :)

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you Betsy! How fab that you could discuss it with Stacy ;) you are a LOT further on than me!

[@janarichardson346]

I'm making Haystacks and Pumpkins too! Just a little tip if you haven't already cut the fabrics for the pumpkins you need to add 1/2" to the cut. Cut 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 & 5 1/2 x 6 1/2. That way you will have enough room to add the quarter inch seam allowance. Happy stitching ❤❤❤

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much!! I will try my best to remember this before cutting! LOL! Tx so much for watching - it is a fab quilt!

[@pennysdaughtershares8227]

I absolutely love spending time with you, Sian!!😍 I love seeing all your projects, especially because you do so many different types of things. And you are very, very good at ALL of them! Your embroidery projects are so beautiful. I know I’ve told you before that it makes me want to try it - but a bit scared because I’ve never done any embroidery. Thank you for sharing all your joy and beauty! 💚Michele

[@periwinklestitcher]

Michelle - tx so much for watching - I know you would be excellent at embroidery! :)

[@janicekramer4685]

So happy that I fell upon your channel! All of your work is just stunning! I will go back and start from FlossTube 1 - exciting! Have a wonderful holiday season!

Another wonderful video Sian! Thank you for sharing all of your gorgeous projects.

[@periwinklestitcher]

So kind - thanks girls!

[@marionvandesande6382]

Oh Sian, your floss tubes never can be to long. All these wonderfull patterns and just like you I am so sorry Brenda G doesn't ship to Europe anymore. If you even want to sell your patterns from her... oh that swans, love love love. This week I finished my Regina Haible, now looking for a suitable frame. And I finally get to go to a bee, a cross stitch bee. Have to drive 145 km, x 2, but it doesn't matter. A friend of mine hosted last week her friend Sue Stitchbury, do you know her? She's from the UK and just had a book Calico & Stitch, a book about embroidery and quilting, I think you would love it. And remember we spoke about Quiltmania books? In her latest video Nicola was visiting the US and there she was shown a book from Quiltmania (don't know from which designer), she bought it immediately since they are finished. OK, have a nice holiday and take care, greetings from the Netherlands.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Hi Marion! Wow I met Sue Stitchbury last year at Nicki's Stitchery for a day class making a needle roll and more and her work is stunning! I would love to get her book too - can't get Quiltmania! We stayed in the same hotel and had fish and chips together - happy days :)

[@dianhumphrey1283]

I'm glad you're doing better! Welcome back 🎉

[@SweetPeaStitcher13]

Thank you for the lovely Floss Tube! Your enthusiasm is contagious... today I was stitching and watching and finally finished this episode. Here in Colorado it is blustery and the vibrant maple leaves are flying and swirling to the ground. I can't wait for the first freeze- it's late this year. I hope you enjoy all of your creative endeavors! P.S. What is a WIP GO?

[@periwinklestitcher]

Hello! WIP is Work in Progress and WIP GO is a game Jessie Marie came up with (Facebook and or instagram)! You assign WIPs/projects to 24 numbers at the start of each year and she calls 2 numbers a month and you work on those - like bingo - its a lot of fun and you really get things finished that way :)

[@reneebebla422]

I’m on holiday at the beach and what a lovely way to start it, I love the long video for I am stitching on Sarah Milthorp and got so much done. Hollis Hands is a great shop, I seem to find some unique charts there that nobody carries. As soon as I saw the Christmas Swan, I thought of you. I have to start stitching the Autumn one soon. I got the Surfine Silk conversion for Regina from the Attic, it is beautiful, need to get back to that. When I use steam on the back of my stitching, I have a piece of muslin that I use and only use it for cross stitch. I just lay it on top and it works great. I miss Mary on the baking show too, what a great idea to stitch with the show. Love the embroidery especially the September piece, colors are beautiful. Quilting is amazing, can’t wait to see the star done. Love all the finishes, WIPS and dough bowl! I keep looking at the velvet strawberries but I may now get them, thank you for sharing how they were packaged. My Mom is from England and used to go back every year but oldest son was obsessed with Rupert the Bear, my Mom brought so many books back with her and we still have them. Enjoy your embroidery class and have fun.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Oh Renee - so lovely to hear from you! Thank you very much!

Wow. What a treat to sit down with my stitching and see a video from you. I could watch and listen to you for hours. Your stitching, as always, is absolutely stunning. That embroidery - I love it. My sister ‘made’ me buy an embroidery kit of a Christmas runner to do for her (she’s not a crafter) and I’m scared to even open it! Definitely won’t be done for this year. Thank you so much Sian for sharing. Happy stitching.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Hi Susan - this made me laugh out loud! Thank heavens I don't have a sister - I am bad enough already lol!! PS. You can do it :)

Another lovely flosstube! You’re so inspiring! I got the Acufactum book and the same quilt kit from the shop in Canada! And also a pillow kit that has stitching on it as well as my first Nicki Franklin stitchery kit of a lovely Christmas tree.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Oh wow Jackie - that's going to be lovely!

[@tuppenceandbobneedlearts]

Greetings... another wonderful video....the longer the better. I am actually recovering from shoulder surgery with my right arm in an immobilizing sling so I cannot really stitch (although I am trying to stitch using only my left hand!) so I have been online shopping for stitchy supplies and watching million of flosstubes. I've gone back and watched all yours over again so was delighted to see this new one. Wonderful stitching but I would expect nothing less. And the embroidery! Cannot wait to see the next one. I too bought the Acufactum stitching book and I've signed up for the monthly fat quarter bundles. Wonderful projects that I hope to start once the wing is fully healed. Seeing the projects you choose is such an inspiration...and I always have my pen and paper ready to jot down the names of new charts. See you next time. Cheers from Canada. Melanie

[@periwinklestitcher]

Hi Melanie! What a wonderful comment - I'm so happy that I can keep you company while you are recovering from surgery - FT brings us all such joy! Please get better soon :)

[@stitchingscottie4505]

I just love your Brenda Gervais finishes and you have them displayed very well. I like your pumpkin bowl much better than the one we have in the US. I know you enjoyed your time with Roberta as she is one of the nicest and friendliest flosstubers and needleworkers that I know. I always look forward to having dinner with her and Linnie at the Quilter's Station retreats. They are such fun! Thank you also for all the wonderful photos of your beautiful country and travels as I really enjoy seeing them. I loved seeing your appliqued quilting project also. I cannot believe how much you get done in just a month and such beautiful work.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much Dottie! How precious that you get to Quilters Station :)

[@kimhill545]

I just so enjoy all of your beautiful stitching and all that you show. I treasure each minute of your videos, they are so inspiring! Looking forward to next time; and happy travels!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much Kim!

[@cathyhall3070]

Your flosstubes are amazing! You are amazing and I am so glad I found you. Your cross stitching is fabulous from the designs you choose to the perfection of your stitches. And your embroidery….I was a prolific embroiderer when I was younger so I know what goes into the lovely pieces you have created. And then there is your quilting and appliqué. In these days of AI I could almost think you have been created by a bot!😊. Seriously, you are my new favorite Flosstube and I pray you don’t shorten your videos. I think I speak for all when I say we cannot get enough. One quick question…how do you stitch,in hand, in hoop, in QSnap, with or without a frame? Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much Cathy! You are very kind :) I love to stitch in hand and use a Nurge hoop for embroidery!

[@AmniconStudio]

Oh I just love the idea of stitching with the Bake Off! My son got me hooked on that show and it is perfect for a cold and chilly day to watch the fantastic creations. Many of the desserts are foreign to us in the US, but so interesting to see how the rest of the world celebrates the holidays! I name just itching to start some Christmas stitching anyway. This would be the perfect excuse! Loved your projects today and am adding a couple new ones to my wish list. Thank you so much for sharing with us! Hugs from the rainy NW... we do have that cold and wet in common!

Thank you so much!

You could go for 2 hours and I wouldn't mind!😅 Everything you work on is eye candy. Your quilt kits look like fun, very cute fabrics. Happy stitching!

It such a treat when your video pops up. You have really enabled me with the quilting. I’ve never done it before but I’m going to give it a go. I had a trip to Fobbles last week and Beverley had some lovely fabric. I’ve decided to make Alice Caroline’s Wonderland quilt but even though I love Liberty Tana Lawn, I’ve decided not to buy the kit because I felt there was too much white in it. Instead I’ve chosen Moda fabric, Kate’s Garden by Betsy Chuchian (I think). I was very lucky because my husband also bought my Christmas gift while we were there, a quilt kit with French General fabric. To make matters worse! My new Janome sewing machine should be delivered tomorrow along with the quilting attachments, knee lifter and everything 😁. My current sewing machine which I bought at Woolworths years ago has been great but I thought I would treat myself, my sister will get my old machine so it will still be used. Thanks for sharing another wonderful video. I’m letting my bank account recover but I think I’ll still do a little browsing at the Stitchery!

Amazing Sylvia! You will love it! I used to play Kimberly Jolly at Fat Quarter Shop for hours to get the quarter inch seam right and pick up all her tips for beginners - patchwork is a great place to start! The French General kit sounds amazing - I love Fobbles and didn't know they even did quilt kits!! Oh dear...

Hi thank you for the advice on my last query. I have now purchased Kringle and Woolard (Plum Street) with 28 count aida ( not sure i was ready for linen) and the suggested yarns and off I have jumped!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Brilliant Dee! Good luck! I have that in stash and love that chart!

I love your videos… I always set aside time first thing in the morning to watch your videos. It takes me quite a while because I take detailed notes. I’m definitely influenced by your choices of projects, you have so much knowledge. It’s amazing. You’re such a beautiful lady. Thank you and blessings. Cheryl from Kansas 😎

[@periwinklestitcher]

Wow, thank you Cheryl! How kind - I'm so glad you enjoy it!

[@sewmesarah]

So much inspiration and temptation Sian! Thanks for sharing.

[@periwinklestitcher]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching Sarah! :)

[@jerananelms1760]

What fun. Thank you. You cost me a few hundred dollars because I just had to buy the Bunny Hill kit. Thanks for showing it. Happy and safe chasing of the sun.

[@periwinklestitcher]

Lol! I do hope you enjoy it! Thank you so much for watching!

[@TheQueensScene]

Another great flosstube! Thank you for sharing all your beautiful projects!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you! 😊

[@lornaboughtwood2043]

Thank you Sian, I did get some Desert Tiapan from them when I heard you say on one of your previous videos that Peakside had a lot of it!! lol!! I too am on the F&R linen club waiting list but I’m sure it’ll take quite some time to get on 😢. I do order quite a bit of linen from Number12 Stitchco and Northumberland Sampler House, both their linens are beautiful xx ❤

[@periwinklestitcher]

Oh that's great Lorna! Also Swan Bay fabrics has just launched by Marie here in Cardiff - so I can't wait to choose some linen of hers! and R&R and some WDW at Northgate Needlecrafts - great service!

[@melanieskinner1327]

Thanks so much Norette 😊

I really enjoy your video's, I finished Autumn Swan this afternoon and hope to fully finish it tomorrow (Sunday, I am in Australia). I have also bought Clovis, I love badgers too, the first thing I stitched was a tapestry of badgers and I still l love it, I was 18 at the time, quite a few years ago! Thank you for mentioning the Raven Quilt Pattern, I was looking for it a couple of months ago and couldn't track down a copy. After you mentioned it was available I stopped your video and went on-line and was able to order a copy from a Stitching shop I use in Tasmania - it will be winging its way to me shortly 😁. Enjoy the show at Malvern xx

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much Fiona - I am happy that you tracked the book down - it is stunning - I saw the finished Raven quilt at Malvern!!

[@betsabeabarleycorn]

Hi there! You're content is amazing and your enthusiasm is absolutely contagious. Thanks for sharing your crafty world with us. Happy Stitching!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@wendycutler]

I’m always so inspired by your gorgeous projects. Thank you for all the care you take in presenting your flosstube to us. I love Nicki’s projects and was collecting some a few years ago, but our low dollar and prohibitive postage here in Aus make them unattainable for me at this time. So I love seeing your finished projects. I live vicariously through yours 😂😍

[@periwinklestitcher]

Oh thanks so much Wendy for watching! It's so hard when we can't get supplies easily locally and I feel your pain! I do know that Nicki has a flat rate shipping to Australia at 10 UK pounds which is really good - but in the meantime you can stitch on the ones in your stash maybe? Take care :)
