Flosstube #70 Lots of stitching!

[@figskater3382]

Thanks for a great video-as a Catholic I’m grateful that you don’t hide your faith…your stitching and your faith is very inspiring ❤

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Thank you! Let’s not hide our light under a bushel! All glory be to God 💕

@@ContentedNeedleworkerKimI’ve been watching your flosstubes for quite a while and I enjoy them immensely. I’m spellbound by how you cut down frames. 👍🏼 My recent obsession is your Loose Feathers Seasons. I’m going to change to T every season…can you tell me what book, etc you got the chart for Ecclesiastes for? Thank you for your inspirational vids

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

@@maureendetwiler6950 Thank you! That cursive portion was just cobbled together as best I could from some random alphabet paper I found. Probably from an old magazine or something. Maybe just Google free alphabets?? I hope you can make it work!

[@pamelasmith6306]

Rosella Rests is gorgeous and the frame is perfect…I love all the birds that you have stitched….such a beautiful background…I enjoy the scripture at the end your husband is an excellent speaker..Thank you so much..

Thank you, Pamela, from both of us! ☺️💕

Kim, love your video!! Making my list of birds I want to stitch🤦🏼‍♀️THANK YOU FRIEND💕for the sweet shout out!! You are so kind!! Enjoyed the scriptures! Such a good reminder!! ☺️

[@dianeruno4942]

Beautiful finishes Kim!

[@stephknight1123]

Kim, I am so flattered by your shout out. We’ve had three “meet cutes” and I have enjoyed every one of them. Thank you for sharing all your stitchy goodness. You are an inspiration. Xoxo

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Yes! Going to keep hoping you make a video!

[@Sara-od9nj]

Kim, just wanted to say a quick thank you for the inspiration. I stitch 99% reproductions. So many available these days that I can't stitch all the wants! After years and years, this year I gave myself permission to just stitch the part I love the most, on *some* of those large ones. Unsure if I liked the idea but thought I would give it a test. Fast forward a couple months to now. Found your flosstubes last week. Yes! The idea was a good one. Looking at your walls and listening to you, removed any doubts I would have future regrets.

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

You totally made my day! Thank you 💕

[@leslies6008]

I can’t help but notice how many designers and stitchers are framing their work in clocks! You, my friend, are a trend setter! Beautiful work and beautiful scripture. Thank you so much.

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

☺️☺️☺️ so sweet. I did not invent the clock finish, but I’ve sure embraced it!

[@joyceclowser3371]

Martha Walmsley takes my breath it is so beautiful! All of your pieces are so inspiring. Happy stitching!

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Martha is a beauty, I agree!

[@hopesmythe4258]

Another truly wonderful FlossTube, Kim. I love how you change up designs! Very inspiring.

[@barbaramatchack8995]

I love how you can take a chart and make it your own by stitching the portions you love the most.

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Thank you! 😊

[@b.a.blessingstitcher]

I absolutely love your clock finish! And all the birds you have stitched are just gorgeous. You are a joy to watch and I love your husband’s wonderful message at the end. Hugs and blessings on your coming week!

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Thank you so much, Diane ❤

[@katiestrachanembroidery]

Love the tray idea for Martha Walmsey! That would be fabulous, and such a unique finish. Your Peacock, a Unicorn, a Badger still makes me so swoony...

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Thanks, Katie! We shall see how she turns out 🤔. Peacock is a fun stitch!!

What a delightful episode of your gorgeous stitching. I am so excited about getting started on our Huswife project that Dawn so graciously gifted us at The Autumn of Abundance gathering. Thank you Kim for sharing your time with us. Meeting you at the Attic was one of my most favorite highlights my first ever retreat. Happy stitching💚

Enjoy your time at the attic. I look forward to your next video with friends. Seems like y'all are having such a fun time!

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

We do! I’m so excited!

[@loisschumacher9869]

I have missed you, so it was wonderful to see you again! I like birds, but am really being more drawn to them after seeing all those you have stitched. They are so pretty! Thinking I need to pull some and stitch birds too!

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Hi Lois! 🙋🏻‍♀️. Yes, stitch all the birds with me 😂. It’s a good thing I’m retired so I can kinda keep up with life!

[@pamcollins7355]

Hi Kim. Thank you for another wonderful video. I’m stitching Margaret Hull after seeing her on your video. I’ve started with the bird also. I’m still deciding whether or not to stitch the satin stitch border. I’m looking forward to following your progress.

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

I love the satin stitch border, but I just don’t want to stitch it 😂. I hope you enjoy Margaret as much as I am!

[@Merrcraw15]

Beautiful stitching! Loved seeing your bird finishes. Excited to see another video from the three of you. ❤❤❤

Hi Kim, another wonderful video! I wish I would have made it to Superb Owl event. Sounds like it was a lot of fun. Question: Have you ever shown how you store your linen, floss, and charts? If not, would you be willing to film a video on your organization? Have a great week!

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Hi Michelle! Hmm, I could try to do that, sure, but I think you will be underwhelmed 🤣

[@stitchingbythemoon]

😂😂😂. Now I’m even more interested to see how you organize your “tools!” 🤣

[@janthestitcher3084]

Hi Kim. Long time lover of your stitching and videos here. For some reason I'm not remembering the horizontal bird adaptation. Where did the 4 birds and ivy come from? Everything you do is lovely and inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to create positive content.

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Hi Jan! That’s from Eleanor Parr. I have mentioned her often as she gets lots of love! I only stitched the side border!

Thank you for sharing another interesting video full of beautiful needlework. Can I ask whether you used the called for colours on the beautiful border you stitched from the Eleanor Parr sampler. The Scarlett Letter and HATS samplers are my favourites.

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Thank you! I used the DMCs, and in a few places I did change the colors slightly. Still using the DMCs!

[@MsHopeH]

Will Dawn's pattern ever go on general release¿ I love it so much ❤ I look forward to seeing your start :)

Thank you! That’s Eleanor Parr, just the side border. I showed her often as I stitched her last year ☺️

[@bluestockingstitcher1695]

Hi Kim I love your stitching and the way that you add scripture to your patterns. I am currently stitching Teresa Kogut’s “Come to the Garden” and would like to change it to an abbreviated version (due to space) of Matthew 11:28. (Come to Me all who are weary and I will rest you.). Anyway, could you please tell me how you go about changing the wording? Thanks! Joyce

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Hi Joyce! I did a Flosstube extra a year ago between videos 42 and 43 where I talk about how I chart things. I love that you want to add Scripture! I added that very one to a piece I stitched as well. I hope the video is helpful 💕

[@bluestockingstitcher1695]

@@ContentedNeedleworkerKim Thank you so much, Kim! ❤️

[@chrissieb3350]

Kim I have a question about Chubby Bird. Did you do him on 40 count and if so what size do you think that opening is on the clock where you placed him in?

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Hi! The clock is 3 and 1/2 wide, and I probably used 40 count!

[@chrissieb3350]

@@ContentedNeedleworkerKim thank you!

[@annm8680]

Hi Kim. Selfish_Stitcher here. I wish I could take credit for the Elizabeth Eyles bird finish. The fact you thought it could be me made my day. I was especially interested in your cut and paste method of changing things around. So do you actually make a paper copy with the actual size and then cut and tape them together? I’ve done that a little bit. I want to do Peacock, unicorn badger. I also don’t want to stitch the background. I want a green 16 or 18 count Aida which I can’t find. Could you tell me the green dmc color? I’d like to try to dye my own. I also don’t like the sun. I might use the sun from Echoes of a Garden Past. I’d keep the badger because I would add a dachshund near him. Dachshund means “badger hound” because they were bred to hunt badgers. My little boy of 18 years has been gone less than 3 months. Your videos with the other two friends in Arizona are among my favorites on flosstube. I’ve watched the first video twice.

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

Hi Ann! I knew we were stitching Echoes together, and I just wasn’t sure about the clock! The DMC green for? Do you mean what’s the stitched color for the background listed? Yes, I make a paper copy and just cut and tape as I decide what I want to stitch. I hope you stitch Peacock!

[@annm8680]

Yes, I would like to know what dmc color is listed on the pattern for the background. That way I know what color to aim for if I try to dye my own. I should just go ahead and buy the chart. I’m thinking about making it a leap year start on Feb. 29.

[@karenkaren9526]

Did you frame it with glass. I can’t tell

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

No, I don’t use glass

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

I just checked that clock finish, and I did leave the glass in that one. I don’t usually use glass in the frames I cut down myself ❤

[@karenkaren9526]

You are very sweet

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

You are so kind❤. I did just check the clock finish of Elizabeth Eyles, and I did leave the glass that came with the clock in that one!

[@cbwoods5166]

I love your pieces. But so disappointed that you are not doing the full Martha Walmsley. Short sighting the full elegance of the piece. So sad. Then you are doing the Scarlet Letter piece. So confused.

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

I’m sorry you are upset, but I would gently remind you that it is important we stitch what brings us joy. This will be different for each of us. I’m having fun with my hobby, and that matters ❤
