Flosstube #7 - I’m back! Finishing my dream sampler and Sampler September plans 🧦 🍂 🧵

[@sandyb_milkcanstitcher]

Carmen, you do you. Film however you feel. Long,short, whatever. I, as a viewer know I can't watch everyone, so I watch who makes me happy. You make me happy. Take care.❤❤❤😊

[@nolamcneely7857]

Hello from Tennessee! It was so wonderful to see you again and finally catch up. 😄. I love the idea of more frequent videos that are shorter. Not everyone has time for long videos so that will allow people to have a quick update and feel they are in touch with your progress. If I ever get the courage to finally make a flosstube... I'd like to stick to bi-weekly. 😊. It's so lovely of you to offer your treasure so others can enjoy the fun of creating such beauty. Yours is fabulous! Awesome knitting! Makes me want to get my yarn stash out and get back into knitting. Isn't it lovely to have multiple hobbies? 😊 Can't wait for your next video.

[@elysbethcarson4113]

I like snack sized flosstubes, sometimes I see that videos are long and I skip them because I don't have the time. As for the projects I love seeing the same things over, it's more like seeing a friends project, nibbles of it here and there. Love your show and your energy

[@susanbooth551]

You are an amazing, creative talent who truly inspires me! I love watching whether it’s short or long…but would enjoy if it’s every two weeks if possible!! You are a treasure to this community! I love your enthusiasm and passion for our shared love of stitching!!

[@berniewood6286]

Your projects are amazing … all of them and you are a treasure to watch in the cross stitch world

[@KayH-PuppyMine]

What a treasure you are! And I love your finish of GH! I have had GH on my wish list for far too long! Thank you for showing how beautiful it is!

[@deborahthornhill6971]

What a treasure GH1857 is, absolutely beautiful. Wow, all of your projects are so inspiring. Answering your question, I would enjoy your videos be they long or short. I do have to break up viewing the long ones and sometimes don’t make it back to finish them up. ❤

[@alisonfoister6549]

Carmen, your Flosstube still me with joy, Thankyou for sharing your beautiful Samplers. GH1857 is a real treasure.

[@janepanovich9818]

So glad you are back. Your videos are a real Treasure! Not really into short videos….i can always pause if necessary. I thought I stitched a lot but nothing compared to you! You go girl!!

[@amymontoya1971]

It is such a treasure when you complete such a beautiful sampler. I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@cynthiakinnaman9201]

such beautiful, beautiful stitching!! I love your videos and whether you choose to continue the long ones, or do more frequent, short ones, it is always a treat to see your video pop up! I love your enthusiasm and excitement!! I think your needles are on fire as quickly as you get your projects completed and love the way you treasure every one of them! Take care...hugs : )

[@valeriadentis1630]

I have kept this video like a treasure to be watched as soon as I got back from my vacation ( we're trying to battle the blues 😂) and finally its time has come! Love from Italy ❤

[@terrygillies8413]

Carmen you are a breath of fresh air in the land of Flosstube videos. Keep on making them and I will watch every one. You are a treasure!

[@ninaashworth5426]

So glad you’re back. I’m not sure GH 1856 is a chart I would have been drawn to but your finish is beautiful and I appreciated seeing your completed cross stitch alongside the original. So treasure!

[@patricelambusta7865]

I love your videos and don't care if they are long or short. You are very entertaining and do gorgeous work. I will treasure anything that comes my way.

[@miran4605]

Hello Carmen, I recently discovered your KZbin channel and I am absolutely delighted with its content , it's a real treasure. Personally, I love long videos, and I really enjoy your interventions in your own content. I'm worried that with shorter videos, we might lose this kind of . I adore your personality, and your projects are truly amazing! Congratulations on your FFO

[@finknottle4192]

It's so exciting to see a new Flosstube from you pop up! I watch them usually over about 3 days so that's a hint that any length is good for me. So inspired by both your stitching and knitting!!

[@maryjaneh2251]

Great episode - enjoy the knitting finishes even though I'm not a knitter. Video length doesn't matter - I choose one to watch based on how much time I have to stitch and sometimes that's a short stint and other times a longer session. Thanks for sharing your beautiful stitching. GH 1857 is a treasure!

[@dianabloomdesigns]

Hi Carmen! Lovely to see a new video from you! I agree with the masses that both short and long videos are great and if one style works better for filming - all the better! Your quilters dream piece is gorgeous! And the beautiful huge sampler you showed was a treasure indeed. 😁

[@dianemcclure6884]

What ever length video that works for you is great for us too, long or short. Maybe more often?😊. I treasure the time spent stitching and watching!

[@dlake9609]

You are a treasure to watch. Such a beautiful stitcher. I look forward to your floss tubes!❤

[@lauratodd6850]

Love all of your videos....short or long! All of your finishes are beautiful and inspirational. You are truly a treasure in the flosstube community!

[@betsabeabarleycorn]

Oh I love lenghty flosstubes where you show all your treasures! I like your socks, they're great I am so happy to see GH 1857 in his wholeness, because in the cover of the pattern it's partial. That sampler is amazing! I usually like more warm colors samplers with some red, but I actually like the palette of the piece. You're stiches look perfect. I can watch short or long flosstube, but I prefer the long one. Thank you!

[@kirstinnz]

Your GH sampler is an absolute treasure. The Fox and Rabbit fabric is awesome with it. I don’t mind longer flosstubes, though I don’t usually watch them in one go. I prefer shorter ones, 25-40 minutes is good for me. But you be you and do you ❤️

[@vanessaclark7680]

Each of your projects is a treasure! I love seeing all of your crafty endeavors!

[@macstitches]

What beautiful stitching! GH has been on my wishlist for years. You are inspiring me to start this treasure.

[@karendavis-macon9658]

Carmen what an enjoyable video. I like the long videos, but then I am retired!! Your presentation was FUN and I don't even knit and I watched the whole video!! The Vierlande sampler is Sooo BEAUTIFUL and intense!! CONGRATULATIONS on your other 2 samplers (forgot the names); they are just STUNNING!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2024!!

[@lisabyard3378]

YOU are a treasure. Your videos are great whether they are short or long. I always enjoy them and find them very inspiring. You do you.

[@deborahbrandenburger7240]

I love your videos whenever you are able to put them out. Shorter can sometimes be easier as you say, but being almost monogamous, it must be difficult for you to do them too often. Then there's your schedule - just do you!!!! I was in Amsterdam in June (maybe only a couple of weeks after you were and thank you for talking about Stephen & Penelope) for a cruise departure. Jacob came and gave our group a talk before we left on the cruise and what a fantastic opportunity that was - I bought the Hold On To Your Socks pattern and plan to start stitching it soon. I love your idea of being brave and actually knitting a pattern from the chart into socks - I'm not sure if I'll be daring and try that in the future, but I thank you for sharing your success!!!

[@nancylanders5086]

Such a Treasure it is to see all your beautiful stitching. Thank You for sharing all your projects with us. I really like long videos so I can work on my stitching for the entire length of the video Have a great week Carmen 😊

[@gerdymackay9379]

Always look forward to seeing a new Flosstube of yours come up! Have been eyeing the GH Sampler for quite awhile! it will be a family treasure for all those stitching it!

[@tristenworthen8650]

What a treasure you have in that finished sampler. I love the blues. That pattern is on my list to tackle someday. Enjoy your videos. Short or long. It should be your preference so you continue to enjoy filming and providing wonderful creations for us to view.

[@Stitchingthedayaway]

What a beautiful sampler! Congratulations on the finish it is stunning! So wonderful to have such a treasure trove of beautiful samplers to stitch ourselves.

[@chelseamoon4362]

Your stitching is beautiful! Thank you for making videos. They’re such a treasure trove of inspiration!

[@MaryToropov-oe2uj]

You and your family will treasure that sampler always - it is SO gorgeous!! Congratulations on a wonderful finish.

[@ritadepalatis6366]

What a treasure your GH 1857 sampler is! Gorgeous! The linen you chose is perfect for it.

[@desireepheister2633]

Carmen, YOU are a treasure! What joy you bring to the cross stitch community. I am so happy when your newest Flosstube comes up. I don't mind if they are long or short, one WIP or many, they are all wonderful to see. More!

[@jenniferparr5959]

I love your finish! It is a beautiful treasure for you to hang on your wall. You did a lovely job, congratulations. The Quilters Dream is so pretty. Great to see another video from you!

[@rhondadiercks]

The GH sampler is stunning on that linen! Can't believe how much you accomplished! Beautiful work.

[@bobh7275]

Whatever your preference is, I am sure we will enjoy the videos. Just beautiful stitching. Great SAMPLER. GH is beautiful. You did a great job.

[@consuelomorales7227]

Carmen you are a Treasure!!😂 That sampler is Stunning and you're such an amazing stitcher wow 😮. Love your work and videos, thanks for sharing ❤️

[@edwinawickwire6038]

Your work is spectacular. I would treasure the reproduction sampler. Good on you for demonstrating the virtues of monogamous stitching. I look forward to seeing your future finishes.

[@allisonkubiseski3464]

What a treasure to watch! You have so many wonderful projects to share with us, keep up the good work and your videos, whether they are long or short.

[@TamaraDespain-c6x]

That sampler is a true treasure! It takes my breath away!!beautiful job!!

[@maryellenmcinnis7693]

Your flosstubes are a treasure so I’m of the mind that long or short will both be fine. You seem to get a lot done pretty quickly plus you have the added benefit of knitting so I do think you could do shorter ones if you are short on taping time. You also have your SALthat you can share to help fill up shorter ones. Love your sample sampler! Your creativity is amazing. I wonder how many people are actually going to use those sock designs on the socks they are making. Your sock is amazing. Very enjoyable. Love your energy and happy personality.

[@tamralepro3081]

I am so glad I found your Flosstube! Stumbling across your video was like unearthing treasure! Looking forward to seeing more of your lovely stitches.

[@cheriwalker887]

I look forward to seeing you and your stitching whether long or short videos. Very clever idea on the sock design :) Like everyone else states, You are the treasure!

[@sassyjacqs]

What a treasure your channel is. I found it this morning. ❤

[@marlenedavey6262]

You deliver you. We are ok with whatever you want to share! Your videos are a treasure!!

[@rosalorenzo485]

I have followed your progress since I saw your beautiful sampler, including the video of your visit to Soed Idee. Today I see it finished and it is a true treasure, Carmen. I hope to see it hanging on my wall one day.

[@suegumm6684]

Ooh, I love that sampler! It really is a treasure and will bring you joy every time you look at it. Congrats.

[@doloreskettman1869]

Such a pretty sampler. Every day we can stitch is a treasure.

[@stitchinginalgoma-marcia7488]

You are a treasure Carmen! Love watching you and your enthusiasm ❤

[@vassakal]

Really enjoyed this video! I like shorter and longer videos. So glad you popped up on my feed and that gh sampler is such a treasure. ❤

[@NDQuilter1]

I don't care if they are longer short, do what fits into your life at the time. I will be happy with anything you have to give. You are a treasure. Keep that beautiful finish for yourself, don't give it away it is gorgeous.

[@MaryTwombly]

Oh Carmen, love your videos - long or short ;). Your personality shines through, so great! You are a treasure!

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

I love your finish of GH 1857 - it's absolutely stunning and is a treasure indeed. I enjoy all of your videos no matter what length they are. Your stitching is so beautiful and your sock knitting is incredible. Thank you so much for doing videos and for all that you do.

[@onestitchatatime4660]

It was a pleasure watching you. It was my first visit but not my last! Thank you. I fell in love with the sampler the second I saw it! I wil be stitching it on the same fabric and will treasure it hanging on my wall! Oceans of Friendship stitching it and

[@valerierollins6117]

Your channel appeared in my stream today. Your sampler is gorgeous. Those colors would be so beautiful in my own decor. What a treasure, and how fast you finished it. Very nice.

[@maryleelaird8708]

Your stitching is a treasure. I was glad to see you today!

[@gerisheehan2684]

Thank you for showing your beautiful stitching, especially GH😍😍. I’m stitching GH and you motivated me to take it out and focus on it!

[@VintageCottageStitches]

That sampler is such a treasure. You have convinced me I need to have it on my wall. I really enjoy your videos.

[@brenlutz2996]

It's my first time seeing you and I think I've found a "treasure"! I just loved seeing your projects and look forward to seeing more. In the meantime, I'll watch your past videos. That sampler is GORGEOUS!

[@sampantha7]

You and your stitching are such a treasure, Carmen!! I love watching your videos--and both styles of videos work for me, long or short, I'll watch them all!

[@natalieschutz4011]

What a treasure of a video to come back to us with, Carmen! For the video length, I think either way would be perfectly fine. I enjoy the longer videos because I can stitch to them, but if shorter videos means more frequent Carmen content then that sounds great too! You just do whichever is easiest for you.

[@Sophie-nv6vi]

I don’t mind at all the length of your videos - if they are longer I can always watch it over a few sessions; please do whatever feels right and manageable to you! You’re an absolute treasure and seeing you stitch GH1857 has made me want this to be my first reproduction sampler!

[@joanneenglishgantt5827]

I’ve seen this on instagram being stitched by others but your gorgeous finish has prompted me to go ahead and purchase the chart. You have to be a so thrilled with your finish! A real Treasure it is!😉

[@krystinatremblay826]

Hi Carmen, so sweet of you to give a treasure, to be treasured, and please i love you videos, long or short, waiting for many more, you do beautiful work of stitching! Happy day to you! 🌺💐🪡

[@texonica_stitches]

Came for the stitching but stayed for the knitting! I am inspired by you to try putting cross stitch motifs in my colorwork knitting and socks are a great place to start. Thank you for sharing all your gorgeous projects - you are a delight and a treasure for this community! ❤ P.S. One of my favorite Carmen flosstube sayings is when you got excited about a piece you were showing us and you said, “Hold on to your pants!” 😂

[@mrsrachify]

Treasure galore in this video. Love watching all your videos while stitching.

[@amyhibbard137]

You will treasure that cross stitch forever! I love it!

[@rebeccajourney3183]

I loom knit but have never knitted socks. The boyfriend sock yarn is so cool with the reinforcing yarn tucked inside! Love all the beautiful socks you created but the mermaids are my favorite favorites 🧜‍♀️

[@quiltendeb]

I see everyone is using the basic same sentiment, and I understand why because you are such a treasure to our needlework community. I will watch all your videos, long or short. You do what is best for you and gives you joy!

[@Jennlovesstitching]

Wonderful video, good to see you back! Your stitching is just gorgeous, love all your knitting, you are so talented! Treasure

[@surfsidestitcher5349]

Wow, sooo glad to see a Carmen video again. I missed you. So obviously I would prefer more frequent videos, but I will be very happy to get whatever you have the time to do. Thanks for asking.

[@olhak7063]

Your stitching is a treasure! Thank you for posting! ❤

[@lwmillsap]

I love your small. I keep a very small vintage hoop especially for small stitching like that. I also adore your socks, and I ordered both 52 weeks of socks books for my knitting-daughter. ❤️❤️❤️

[@meltdown-under2734]

I Love watching your videos whether they are long videos or short videos. What's important is for you to enjoy what you do, so if you feel like making a long one, do it. if you feel like making a short one, do it, as long as you are happy. I love your work. You are a treasure along with your beautiful work. Andrea. 😊🪡💕🧵

[@pbadger18]

I love to watch the longer videos as I stitch. Keep up your great videos they are a treasure!

[@lauraw6499]

I am sure you will treasure your sampler forever. It is beautiful! I like shorter and frequent videos. If they are long and I do not have the time. I just pause and finish later.

[@Mrs.Stitcher]

I really enjoy your videos, I don't care if they are long or short, what matters to me is how wonderful all your projects are. Whenever I get a notification about a video from you, I immediately make myself a cup of tea to watch it, because every video of yours is a treasure.

[@annemarieemmen4692]

Dear Carmen, though I am not a sock knitter, I so love your idea of knitting Jacob’s pattern into your socks!! You should be proud indeed!!! Wearing a sampler, what a treat!

[@jenniferdangelo7804]
