Flosstube #67 - February already!

[@joydillow2041]

Lovely to see you again. I hate it when I discover a mistake. I can’t leave it, it has to come out as quickly as possible and then put a few fresh stitches in. It’s the only way I can keep loving the project. Happy stitching ❤❤

[@sewmesarah]

I’m definitely in that frogging philosophy camp! Thanks for watching Joy.

[@wendybartlett9280]

A lovely visit as usual, Sarah! Thank you for all your hard work; it is a very enjoyable experience for we viewers, and I look forward to them so much. Being a faithful viewer for my handful of favorite flosstubers is how I participate in our community, and I highly recommend that approach for we quiet folk ! ❤

[@sewmesarah]

There really definitely ways to be involved as quietly or as openly as you choose, that’s what I love about it! Thanks for being a faithful viewer. I do appreciate your support.

[@cotterillfamily7355]

Plans are marvellous, I love the whooshing noise they make as they fly out the window at my house LOL take care, Nic x

[@sewmesarah]

🤣🤣🤣 I think I like to make plans just so I know what I should have been doing when I’m doing something else.

[@staceysago4476]

Everything about your floss tube is delightful and your new segments just add to the enjoyment!

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you so much for saying so Stacey. I’m so glad you enjoyed the newer segments.

[@lindaeccles1161]

Lots of lovely stitching Sarah, the number of starts is growing. That frog gets everywhere! He's not been here for a while, but I'm sure he'll be back. Thanks for the share section, it's very useful as I don't do Instagram or Facebook, but I can still feel connected. Thanks for your company, happy stitching

[@sewmesarah]

Brilliant, I’m so glad you can find ways of being connected through some of my suggestions. I just know many folks aren’t or don’t want to be on ig and Facebook and think that there are still some fun ways they could join in in ways that suit them. I hope that frog doesn’t visit you any time soon. I booted him out of here last week 😉

[@darlenedeondesigns2844]

Your advent piece is looking great, the back stitch adds so much life. I like your one special thing segment, great idea. Happy stitching!

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you Darlene. I’m glad you like the new segment. I think it might be hard to just mention only one thing each time though 😉

[@RenewingStitches]

It's always so lovely to spend time with you! Usually, I'm stitching, but at the moment, I'm cooking and thinking about stitching. You've had great progress and I enjoy seeing which charts you picked and what prompts they meet for new starts. And the two lovely charts towards the end I haven't seen and love- the Textlilly one and the Flossabilities one. So sweet! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to make these videos!

[@sewmesarah]

Aren’t those two charts so pretty? I just love a good valentines or love themed small! I love that you’re thinking about stitching when you’re cooking. I think that’s why my meals are all so poor! 😂😂

[@lucymitchell8913]

Lovely visiting with you, as always, and those tulips are wonderful! Ugh; I'm so sorry that pesky frog has been to visit. Your WIPS are looking great! I can't believe how much stitching you accomplish in such short times; you are a super stitcher!! I'm so glad you share your quilting with us. I love seeing your blocks (and quilts). I sewed my first-ever quilt top last year (just barely squeaked the last stitches in while it was still 2023, LOL) and I'm not sure I would have done it if not for watching you and Two Tall Stitchers. Such inspiration!! You especially gave me confidence to try it with your encouraging words. I'm looking forward to seeing your 50 new starts! I love that you're managing to finish some of them right away! I have very close to 50 WIPs already so I'm not starting along with you, but I'm excited to see your projects and I'm cheering you on!

[@sewmesarah]

I’m so glad you found the confidence to get your first quilt done! That’s so wonderful. I hope you enjoyed it and are planning some more. Keeping some of the 50 starts small ones is a good idea, I think. Lots of little ones this month. There are a few bigger ones ahead, but I keep reminding myself it’s only about starting this year, they don’t have to be finished yet 😜

[@lorrainehawthorne6936]

I watch your Flosstube on my TV where i cannot comment. I wanted to go onto computer especially for this flosstube. You are always a joy to watch. You asked in this flosstube if we enjoyed the connections part. I loved them. I am a long stitcher with no other stitchers that I know. Thanks to your flosstube on connections I will check out Cindy of the Scrappy Chick and hopefully join her Lovely Heart Sal. You have also given me the hope of joining the Jacob's Sleeper Sal. I have always loved his designs but have not stitched any. I want to be part of the wonderful cross stitch world. I have stitched for a long time-by myself but am going to venture into instagram and join in with other people and that is Thanks Be To You.

[@sewmesarah]

Oh Lorraine, that’s so wonderful! Thank you so much for taking time to log in and leave a comment. I’m so glad the connections info has helped you find ways into the community. I am jealous that I won’t be joining lovely birds because it is so beautiful 😉 but I’m really looking forward to stitching for the jacobsleepersal and to seeing what everyone else is choosing to stitch. Have fun joining in. Thank you so, so much for sharing your story and for being part of the community here.

[@scrappychickcyndi]

Sarah, your episodes are always so wonderfully full of eye candy! I love the reds in the For Thee, it's turning out beautifully. And my heart goes out to you on rejoice evermore. It is so beautiful. I'm glad you're frogging now instead of putting it in time out! Thanks so much for mentioning our SAL, I hope it gives Lara even more exposure. Til next time 😊

[@sewmesarah]

My pleasure Cyndi. I got that frogging sorted so I’m much less grumpy with that stitch now 😉

[@susangroebe2917]

Hi Sarah you always bring me such joy. What a great idea to give Jacob some love. I downloaded the Peacock tree and I am going to give it stitches this week. We always need more family and especially Charlotte stories. Hope to make it to the UK for a retreat some day. Much love. Sue

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you so much Susan! I hope you are enjoying the Peacock Tree. I’m looking forward to starting it next month. I’m glad you enjoy the family news and news of Charlotte too. There’s not been much to share lately, but I’ll see what I can do 😉

[@noufgazi4900]

I always look forward to seeing your quilting progress

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you Nouf.

[@KathysQuiltsandStitching]

The Love Quaker in reds is very pretty! Oh I'm so sorry about the border challenge. it's so sad to take so many stitches out 😵‍💫My sister graciously does all my unstitching for me and I am grateful. Great progress on the Gilmoreisms! I look forward to seeing what February brings us!

[@sewmesarah]

Wow! Outsourcing your frogging! Your sister is a star 😊 I’m happy to say all my frogging is done and I have a nice clean space to start afresh when I’m ready to pick it up again. It’s a pain but necessary and worth having sorted it. Thanks for the sympathy.

[@kathleenstroddentrail2798]

Another lovely video that just has me drooling. I never had a desire to do the patterns from Love Notes…..until today, seeing your little Cupid girl in person. I’m so sorry about Rejoice! That darn frog!!! 🐸. Wonderful to see your tulips in the background, think I need some too! So lovely to spend my morning with you, dear friend.

[@sewmesarah]

The tulips are such a happy little sight in my kitchen! I need to pick up some daffodils too. Always a bright point in the grey weeks of winter. Frog is sorted and I’m ready to fix things up.

[@angiefittro8372]

I feel your frogging pain. In fact, in our last flosstube, I shared how the frog had invited itself into my stitching without my permission (August 1823 Stitchers). Sallie and I are starting Enchanted Realms for our first flossiversary in June.

[@sewmesarah]

I don’t guess the frog gets many actual invitations, do you? 🤣🤣🤣 I hope you and Sallie enjoy Enchanted Realms. I can’t wait to see what the next part is.

[@vidavidson9945]

Yout tulips are just lovely I think you ladies are very ambitious to do the 50 starts. Good luck with your project!❤❤

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks for your encouragement Vi. 50 is ambitious but it’s just for fun and just for this one year 😉

[@maryannjohnson5410]

Nice to see you again Sarah! Sorry about the frogging. Nice progress and starts.

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks MaryAnn. Frog is sorted 😉

[@maureenw2151]

Good evening Sarah from Ontario, Canada. So nice to see you & all your lovelies! That darn frog....I'm the same, I need to correct the mis-stitching before I go on or I won't, LOL

[@sewmesarah]

Frogging all done now, thankfully. For me it’s so much better to get over that hurdle right away than having to face it afterwards. Thanks for watching!

[@noreenkennedy5381]

Great video Sarah, I totally love that wee nine patch ❤️ hoping the frog leaves oh alone for future projects 😊

[@sewmesarah]

Got the frogging done with slightly less muttering under my breath than anticipated. All ready now to restitch it correctly 😊 Lauren’s wee nine patch is so cute!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I am so impressed with all the sals you are working on and keeping current! It’s such a great variety and so interesting that way! I had a bit of frogging to do myself as I watched you but mine was smaller. I feel like I am having a very groggy week so I can sympathize with you.

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks Laura. I love keeping up with a Sal but I know I’m about to fall off both wagons for Gilmoreisms and a Celebration of Colour any day now. Not to worry, they’ll get caught up eventually.

[@suelandriault8137]

It's always nice to see your videos and catch up with you. I'm enjoying hearing the progress on your 50 starts this year. It's quite a goal to set for yourself! I'm mostly a full coverage stitcher. I have two of them on the go at the moment. I really enjoy working on full coverage projects. I loved seeing all of your wips and their progress over the last week. Your stitches look perfect, just beautiful! Here's to more stitching time always! Take care!

[@sewmesarah]

Oh definitely here’s to more stitching time, always! I cannot imagine having two full coverage pieces on the go at once. My hat is off to you.

[@suelandriault8137]

I actually have three full coverage charts on the go but I only work on two at a time. When I finish the row of pages across I switch out to the other one. LOL Darren @ Dizzy Stitcher on Flosstube has more than 40 on the go! And he works on 5-7 at a time each week!

[@donnabennett5106]

Hi Sarah love the peacock Tree,feel for you with the Frog fingers crossed for you🤞another great video,have a good week,Thankyou for sharing 🇳🇿🪡❤️

[@sewmesarah]

The frog has left the building 👍 I feel so much better having it all pulled out and ready for a re-stitch next time I pick it up. I’m looking forward to stitching The Peacock Tree next month. Keeping my fingers crossed that my flosses arrive soon.

[@mihaela.929]

I also think that the Love Quaker is suited for mixing various shades of red. As for the fauna/flora moment last time, no need for apologies. I actually believe that it's precisely seeing moments like these in others that makes us be more understanding of ourselves, because we all have such days and we get worried about it. Happy stitching!

[@sewmesarah]

I have many of those days Mihaela 😜 Yes, the Love Quaker is wonderful in mixed shades of red. Thanks for watching.

[@joanneneufeld8212]

Oh the frogging story was painful! I also know that when I have to frog something I’m better to do it promptly rather than much later when I pick up the project again. Your Christmas Dimensions project is coming along great and I know you will finish it this year. And of course the full coverage project is great. Looking forward to seeing what the next shades of blue will be!

[@sewmesarah]

The next shades of blue were green 🤣 Thanks Joanne. I hope you enjoyed your full coverage start.

[@peggymartinez5350]

Thank you for your video. I always appreciate all you share.

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you Peggy. I appreciate your sweet comment.

[@Mamgus_attic]

Oh I’m the same Sarah, I have to get the frogging done, if I put it in the naughty corner before correcting it, it’s unlikely to see the light of day for decades (I have evidence of this in my stash! 😔) Another joy on a Sunday evening, really lifts the stitchy spirits seeing a new Flosstube from you. I hope the frog returns to the pond and your stitching is frog-free 🐸 for the foreseeable. Take care, as always a cwtch for Miss C. 😊

[@sewmesarah]

The frog has now hopped off and all is well. I’ll have a nice clean restitch next time I pull it out. It won’t seem so bad then 😉

[@stitchythings]

Lovey tulips in the back, one of my favourite flowers! It was so nice to see you again. When I have to frog I am the same, there's no rest in my soul before the frogging is done. Thank you for keeping me company while I am stitching today. It looks like you don't have a lot left on Rejoice Evermore, how wonderful! 🥳 Thank you for sharing some new SAL's, I am definitely going to participate in the Jacob Sleeper SAL. But maybe one of the others as well. Take care my friend! 🌷

[@sewmesarah]

I do still have a lot to go on Rejoice Evermore, the whole right hand side is still unstitched. Working on it is a joy, not the frogging part, but the rest is lovely soothing stitching. I do find the birds a bit tricky but they’re worth the effort. Have fun with the sals. I look forward to seeing which Jacob piece you are going to work on.

[@stitchythings]

@@sewmesarah me too 😄I have two patterns by Jacob kitted up but I'm starting only one.

[@christinaderrico5159]

Oh Sarah I am so sorry you have to frog so much, I have been there too often… your stitching is so beautiful, I love how your advent calendar is coming together. Your a lovely person ♥️♥️♥️

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you Christina. I am glad to say I’m done with the frogging. Thanks for taking time to leave your sweet comment.

[@annemarie6962]

Lovely to see you tonight Sarah. You are making great progress on all your stitching. I'm loving how the backstitch is bringing the nativity scene to life. Sorry about Rejoice evermore, like you when I eventually find my error I have to deal with it there & then. Jon will attest that I have, on occassion, been still stitching at 3am to restitch what had been frogged. I've started a secret stitch on 32ct evenweave & with two threads my stitches looked like small french knots. I didn't like it at all so restarted with one thread & it looks so much better. I'm stitching on a dark grey fabric for the first time so its challenging but I'm getting to grips with it. My friend is going to help me finish it as a cushion with possibly sone hand quilting. Enjoying #funfor50SAL2024 with Sally. I'm planning on starting For Thee shortly to celebrate with you both. Hope you get lots of stitching over the next few weeks. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪

[@sewmesarah]

I’m not sure if I’ve ever pulled a 3am frogging session, but I definitely do better if I can frog it before putting it away. I’ve got it all sorted and back to a nice clean slate for re stitching soon. I feel much better now. I hope the stitching on the dark fabric is working out ok for you. I hope you love stitching on For Thee as much as I have. Thanks for joining us in that one.

[@renaewolford3270]

enjoyed a lot; great video. love your smalls behind you.

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks Renae. I love Valentine smalls 😊

[@ChrisXrossStitch]

I'm so glad you're doing the peacock chart! That one is in my stash and I may have to join you! xoxo Chris

[@sewmesarah]

Oh please do join me if you get a chance. I think the peacocks are beautiful and am just hoping my floss order finally arrives!

[@countrygal854]

Nice to see you today. Your stitching and your quilt blocks are beautiful. My heart still goes out to you frigging is never fun I always have to frog before I put the project up because I forget. Glad you are all healthy and doing good. Happy Stitching 😊

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you Ruth. Frogging all sorted and ready to restitch when I next pick it up. Feels much better this side of all that unpicking 😜

[@jeancairns1825]

Hi Sarah, thank you for another lovely video. The Nativity piece is really coming along now, and although it’s a lot of work, the back stitching really brings the sweet little characters alive. I’m sure you’ll get that finished this year. I’m the same on unpicking my mistakes; I have to do it as soon as I discover it, give myself a clean start. As a monogamous stitcher, I’ve no option if I want to carry on! 🙄. I’m almost coming to the end of my current project, so getting quite excited about starting my next project, What Remains. Yay! I was thinking of you on Wednesday - tax return season over at last!! 👏🏻. Happy stitching. God bless.

[@sewmesarah]

Actually, I don’t mind the backstitch at all. There is a lot and I have to pay attention, but it’s definitely worth having patience. Tax season is behind for another year. I think we merged reasonably unscathed, but you definitely sense the tension in the office on 30th and 31st! 😉. I hope you love working on What Remains.

[@jeancairns1825]

@@sewmesarah Thank you, Sarah, I’m really looking forward to starting it, especially as I have resolved the issue that I had with the colour of the linen. I went with the called for Straw and I think I mentioned that I was disappointed with the the colour when it arrived; it looked like an old yellow duster and that one of the threads just wasn’t going to show up on it. Anyway, yesterday I gave it a wash in quite hot water with a non bio liquid and some of the dye bled from it and that has worked! 👏🏻👏🏻. It is the same base colour but a little lighter and the threads look great against it. So now I’m really excited to have it ready and waiting. 😀.

[@sewmesarah]

Well, done on rescuing your fabric!

[@alliorrfly]

Lovely catch up Sarah. I feel your frustration with Rejoice! Hopefully you'll get it frogged quickly and back to the stitching 😊

[@sewmesarah]

Frogging sorted so I feel much better now 😉 Thanks for watching.

[@kathleenkirk8684]

I was going to post this last week but I got sidestepped You got me interested in Gilmore girls. My last name is Kirk. I ended up buying the kit with no idea about the series. I started watching it with my husband. We are 80 years old and you got us hooked. It brought back so many memories of my past. Just to name one. My son applied to 5 colleges and was accepted to all of them. He wanted to go to Berkeley. We even went there to look around. But instead of going there he accepted a full scholarship to Fresno. Thank you for getting us hooked. Have a great day.

[@sewmesarah]

Oh Kathleen, how nice that you found the series through the stitching. Gilmore Girls is comfort watching for me and I loved the spark and wit of Loretta and Rory. Glad you and your hubby are enjoying.

[@zeinanaamani7282]

Oh no Sarah! I feel your pain 🙏 and I’m the same actually. I prefer to frog my mistakes straightaway. It makes it easier to come back to a project and yours is beautiful. Loving your new segment too and the display behind you with that bouquet of tulips 💐😍… always inspiring.

[@sewmesarah]

I couldn’t resist sharing my tulips. I brought them over from the kitchen windowsill especially. A little spot of sunshine in the winter. Yes, frogging straight away really helps me stay in love with my projects.

[@jeanmansfield1138]

Commiserations on having to frog so much of 'Rejoice'. If you recall I had difficulties in beginning with that wavy border line (didn't realise it was meant to be single thread so after restitching so much I carried on!) and was so thankful it joined as this is the largest piece on 40ct than I've done before. I'm just finishing the first page and have done 9 +2 1/2 Acorns. I've been keeping the Book of Days for whatever I'm working on (quilting, embroidery etc) and am working on One Daily Thread and one Christmas card piece per month. My birthday start on Wednesday is 'The Tudor Bee' which I've had in my stash so I've kitted it up with a spare piece of 36ct Edinburgh Buckskin and DMC threads so that will take a while but I love it. My January DT led to a finish which has encouraged me. Your Nativity Scene looks more beautiful every time you stitch on it. Well done.

[@sewmesarah]

You’re keeping yourself nice and busy I see, Jean. I loved every stitch of Tudor Bee when I worked on it. I hope you do too.

[@juliejealous632]

Lovely to see you and your works of art. I really love your nativity advent piece. It's beautiful and beautifully stitched. I'm looking forward to seeing it fully finished. Your quilt is going to be gorgeous, I really want to machine piece a quilt, I'm hopeful that I'll get a start on that very soon, I just need to stop thinking of all the things that could go wrong and just try my best! I always encourage others to "try" but I am not very good at listening to my own advice! See you next time ❤

[@sewmesarah]

My very wise friend (and quilting teacher) once told me that as adults we don’t allow ourselves enough time to learn. We expect perfection right away or we say we can’t do something. She said we all need to be more like children and be more gracious with ourselves and be prepared to learn by playing and trying over and over again, enjoying each time for what it is , rather than for what it is not. I think she was right. I hope you’ll find time to play and learn with your quilting. You won’t regret it. 😊

[@MollyInEngland]

Hi Sarah When I saw you had put a video up I thought Yippee 🥳 I’m so happy to catch up with you again. I’m glad the peacocks won the vote, although both pieces are gorgeous. Take care my friend 👵 x

[@sewmesarah]

Oh thank you Molly, I’m so glad you enjoy when I post.

[@flossabilities]

Hi Sarah! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you this Sunday evening! The nativity scene is coming along so well! I’m so sorry to hear about the border, it’s so disheartening when that happens but you’ll sort it! Some beautiful valentine pieces , such eye candy 😂 thank you so much for the lovely segment on my piece, I hope you thoroughly enjoy stitching it when the time comes 🧵💗

[@sewmesarah]

Border drama is all over. Frogging complete and back to a nice blank stitchy slate for starting over on that section. 😊 I love how cute Valentine stitching is and your piece will be such a nice addition to my collection when I get to stitching it.

[@lisaboban]

Oh Sarah that little catch in your voice when you talked about frogging that border really got to me! Been there, done that! As usual, your stitching is inspiring! Love the tulips on the shelf behind you.

[@sewmesarah]

Hi Lisa, thanks for the sympathy. The frogging is done and I’ve left it aside ready for a nice clean stitchy start on its next pick up. All will be well 😉

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Hooray for the Peacock Tree…that is the one I am choosing too. My heart is with you as you frog the single strands…it is so challenging to pull those threads. You are doing great with your starts Sarah!

[@sewmesarah]

Thanks Karen. Got the frogging finished, so the world looks brighter again 😉 The Peacock Tree should be a lot of fun to stitch.

[@Isadorvanerp1795]

Hi Sarah, thank you for another gratis video❤

[@sewmesarah]

Thank you Thea, I’m so glad you enjoy them.

[@kensingtoncrossstitch]

I was so interested in all your stitching, but I also kept getting distracted by the beautiful tulips behind you. 😆 Your nativity piece is coming along so well. You're so right about incremental progress adding up too. Thank you for that reminder.

[@sewmesarah]

I moved the tulips from my kitchen windowsill to be in the backdrop because they were just too beautiful not to share. 😊 A nice little bit of happy!

[@stitchyrach6252]

Had a Rachel classic here. I watched the first half and then watched the second half nearly a week later and totally forgot what I was going to comment on the first half. Glad the Peacocks won

I think she’s too tiny but it is a great idea.

[@sew_stitch_sewnat9548]

Sorry you’ve had to frog on your rejoice evermore, always better in my book to frog and then put down the project. Love the progress on the Gilmoreisms SAL you are definitely ahead of me. Janet Jabber has a stitchy sharing section on her weekly Flosstube also. I need if I can make stitch across the pond if there is space but my youngest has a swim gala that day. But it would be my first despite being in the Facebook group for ages. Love the Jacob Peacock pattern, I’ve had the penguin chart in my stash for sometime. I didn’t know about ironing easy guide fabric. Thanks for sharing Nat x

[@sewmesarah]

Frogging crisis is over now thankfully. I hope maybe you can make it back from the swimming gala in order to join us tomorrow night. I love the zooms so much more than I could have imagined. Some weeks I say a bit, some weeks I just listen to the conversation. It’s a lot of fun.

[@theresapetrik1995]

It's always such a pleasure to visit with you! I'm so happy to see your Nativity Advent calendar becoming more and more beautiful! Love the sharing segment. Chris and Laura are already on my regular watch list. Did you know that Laura also hosts an Artist's Trading Card swap? It's something your viewers might also enjoy. She did a showing of the Fall Swap Cards as a Special video. Her Winter Swap just finished, and I can't wait to see these goodies. As always, I look forward to your next video and a Hi to Charlotte too!

[@sewmesarah]

Hi Teresa, yes I know about Laura’s ATC swap. I think I mentioned it here a few videos back and I will definitely be sharing any swaps she does in the future because I think a lot of folks would really enjoy that kind of small stitching swap. Wasn’t her video showing the autumn stitches amazing? Like you, I’m excited to see the winter one too. Did you ever participate in one of her ATC swaps?

[@theresapetrik1995]

I did participate in both swaps. I'm eagerly awaiting reception of my swaps and then the video showing all of the winter themed ATCs.

[@flossysewsandgrows]

Lovely to visit with you as always! Believe it or not you ended up with more starts for January than me - I only managed 6 as didn't get a Barbara Ana start in as still finishing The Four Seasons. Going a bit mad in February though and already snuck an extra in..... I wish you lived next door as I would be round in a flash to do a bit of frogging for you so it wouldn't be as painful for you. Happy stitching my SAL buddy x

[@sewmesarah]

Aw that’s true stitchy friendship, when you offer to help with my frogging. 😘 I can’t believe I started more than you in January, but I did have a sneaky unplanned one, I think. I’m looking forward to my start for tomorrow. It’s a true small, so I’m hoping for a finish too. Enjoy your February starts!
