Flosstube #90: Nashville Market 2024 New Releases!

[@Nuitari08]

As someone who's loved lace in every craft I've ever done, I ADORE your designs

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much!

[@JanetDoucette]

I love how you explained your inspiration for all the pieces!!! I absolutely love 324, stunning... I'm considering stitching it over 1 on 28ct!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@worksbyabc]

28 ct over 1 would be amazing! Thanks so much for watching - I'm glad you enjoyed my inspiration explanations!

[@donnavanboxel9174]

Wow! Beautiful! I love 324 and Majestic lace.

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much!

[@thelazystitcher]

What beautiful and thoughtful designs. You have such a knack for color. I love it ❤

[@SerendipitousStitching]

Some great new releases. Love the 324 design, that would make a great Daily Stitch with a few days off to catch up built in! Have a lovely time at Nashville.

[@worksbyabc]

What a great idea, the daily stitch! Thanks so much!

[@beckymartin203]

I saw 324 on the 2 martini stitcher flosstube and had to see more. Your designs are beautiful. I added a few to my buy list.

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much - so glad Erin let you know about me!

[@marcybrown1721]

Oh Arlene…just getting around to this and You. Are. On. Fire! 🔥 So many beautiful and intricate designs. I look forward to ordering several!

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much!

[@dianablyton2998]

G’day from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺. I hadn’t seen your designs before either but I’m glad I have now. I’ll share with my cross stitch group. All the best for Nashville.

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much!

[@renaewolford3270]

Very nice designs, especially the 324; but I loved them all. Just came across your video and I have not heard of your designs, so what a treat to discover them. thank you!

[@worksbyabc]

So glad you found me and thanks so much for your kind words!

[@darlenel-k-dlklife]

Oh, I love 324 and my Husband can't wait for it to be released as a pdf. I love all of your releases so will see how many I end up purchasing. The lace design is also going onto my wish list.

[@worksbyabc]

So glad you like my new designs! PDF versions will be available on my Etsy store at the beginning of April

[@darlenel-k-dlklife]

@@worksbyabc So hopefully this could be a 60th birthday start in early April.

[@krisskross8985]

I love lace and was hoping to find a pattern to do a cross stitch. I am so happy I found your video! Wow they are all so gorgeous patterns!

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much!

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Love your lace pattern. Good luck with Nashville🤗🇬🇧

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much!

[@hope2stitch]

Majestic lace is on my Nashville list! So lovely!

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you!

[@buckeyestitcher3180]

So many great new pieces🎉🎉. Love that’s you’re using such colorful fabrics. Best of luck at Market❤

[@worksbyabc]

Thanks so much, Nicole! I've definitely gotten more interested in exploring new fabrics and threads over the last couple of year 🙂

[@jessicasampson3762]

So many beautiful designs Arlene! 🎉 I dont think I could pick a favorite cause they are all fabulous!😍

[@worksbyabc]

Thanks so much, Jessica!

[@FrostyXStitch]

I have watched so many of your videos and the ones where you show new releases, so I was not surprised to see a lace inspired piece... but still, seeing it, is always a surprise! I am not one who likes stitching words, but all your releases speak to me and want to make their way onto my wishlist. You have done a nice collection, as always 👏🏻🥰

[@worksbyabc]

Thanks so much, Dawn - you always leave the nicest and kindest comments! ❤

[@the614stitcher]

Congratulations on all your beautiful designs. I've now added to my growing list. Safe travels.

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much!

[@JennyFleming]

324 IS MY FAVORITE!!!!!! Color makes me so happy.

[@worksbyabc]

So much can be done with color! Given our "common language" of DMC, there is so much stitchers for stitchers to explore with a large, relatively accessible thread range.

[@kathierichards3531]

Fabulous - I pray every day for our dear Israel and as a Christian love your chart on peace. Thank you

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you ❤

[@pattyso]

My first time seeing your video. So happy I found you. I tried bobbin lace about 30 years ago. Maybe I’ll get out my pillow and give it a go again. I love your large lace cross stitch pattern!

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much - so glad you found me!

[@michaeljones4380]

Arlene! Greetings from Dallas! I love your new designs and especially enjoyed the stories behind each piece. That’s what I love about your flosstubes, the “history” of the pieces. Have fun in Nashville!!

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much, Michael - I always appreciate your kind comments ❤

[@janefreer7167]

Wow! You have been busy. All beautiful charts.

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much!

[@LauraRK1125]

What beautiful designs! I wasn’t familiar with your work until I stumbled on this KZbin video. I love them all!

[@worksbyabc]

Thanks so much - so glad you found me here on KZbin!

[@lisadolson6598]

Very beautiful designs, Arlene!! I bought Exquisite Lace last year, and now you have the amazing Majestic Lace!! Sigh…. 😊. I’m really smitten with your Repeating Motifs Series also! Wow! And your sweet birdie! Just lovely!! I hope you have a wonderful market! Take care!

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much - I love that you like so many of my new designs!

[@donnamonti2033]

I can’t wait to stitch Peace!

[@worksbyabc]

Wonderful - glad you're excited!

[@lindamcdermott3102]

These designs are the best! I will be ordering the Peace design. I want to thank you for telling us last fall about the needlework show at Woodlawn PopeLeighey and tell you I sent in a cross stitch piece I did. You inform us about many things. I never heard of Floosch thread but bet it’s good for Sashiko stitching. I’ll check it out.

[@worksbyabc]

So glad you are participating in Woodlawn! Don't know if you live close enough, but if you are able to visit, it is an amazing show. So glad you like my new designs - appreciate you stopping by!

[@DP-lx8of]

The Butterfly is beautiful.

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you!

[@adutchstitcher]

Majesteit lace ❤❤❤ if I can get to a point where the size doesn't scare me I might start that. So beautiful

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much! Remember, you never have to stitch an entire chart - You can just do the center area or just one motif like I showed here 😊

[@dianamh5438]

324 just arrived today and I'm resisting starting it! I want to wait until 3/24 which is also my birthday! I'm definitely going to use all 324 colors 🎂

[@worksbyabc]

What a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday! ❤

[@elizabethcoleman5437]

Beautiful lace pattern! I bought Exquisite Lace and it may take me forever to stitch once I find the "perfect" fabric for it. The Majestic Lace is truly stunning! I love how you showed pulling a small portion to stitch up as a small. Cherry blossoms and the bluebirds are on my wishlist!

[@worksbyabc]

Thanks so much - I love that you like so many of my new designs!

[@candacebex4370]

I was looking forward to this video love Majestic Lace!

[@worksbyabc]

Thanks so much!

[@DLNYTube]

Love your new patterns! I fell in love with Landscape but didn’t realize you had the Repeating Motif Series. The Cherry Blossoms is really calling to me. The picture reminds me of where I used to live in the High Park area of Toronto. Cherry Blossoms in Spring are a tradition there. Thank you for your Peace contribution! Good luck at Nashville Market. Cheers.

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much - love that you like so many of my new designs!

[@judystone3645]

Holy cow! You have been busy! I just love all your designs. I NEED to do the Majestic Lace pattern. The butterfly, too. I'm going to be busy this year, for sure, stitching them. Have a great trip to market this year. Love to stitch with floche. I'm using it in two projects for some background filler. ❤

[@worksbyabc]

Thanks so much!

[@judyrobinson8381]

Beautiful designs. I have alerted my LNS to visit your room to pick the pattern for me while in Nashville.

[@worksbyabc]

Wonderful - thanks so much!

[@maureenlopez9266]

Arlene, your new designs are absolutely beautiful! That lace piece is jaw dropping, and your piece with all the colors (324?) is also brilliant! I also love your cherry blossoms piece. I love seeing those pink trees in the spring. I know you mentioned you stitched it over 1 on 32 count. Would that piece be friendly for a 16 count Aida or over 2 on a 28 count? Wishing you success at market! Each of your new designs is spectacular!

[@worksbyabc]

Ugh...just went back and watched that part. My apologies - I totally misspoke. I meant to say I stitched using one strand, not over 1. And over course, in stitcher world, those are two different things! This is stitched over 2 threads using 1 strand, so it is perfectly fine for aida or anything else. I was trying to highlight the one strand look on 32 count instead of 2 strands (which might be a more usual amount for 32-over-2) and the words did not come out correctly. Thanks so much!

[@olgajohns4354]

Hello Arlene, Top-Knot's mom here! Your videos have not come across my youtube in a long time, so I was surprised and delighted to watch you today! Your designs are GORGEOUS. I don't know how you do it! When you showed your Peace design, I right away looked for the Ukrainian word. What a wonderful idea. Glad to see you are doing well -- have fun in Nashville!

[@worksbyabc]

So lovely to hear from you! I'm glad my video found it way to you despite the odd-at-times KZbin algorithms. And thank you so much for your kind words!

[@carylminard448]

Oh so pretty! Your designs are so beautiful!🤩😍

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you so much!

[@sarahgilliam-kincaid2379]

Wow. These are all amazing!

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you!

[@terryblair966]

Pretty designs!

[@worksbyabc]

Thank you!

[@nevadastitcher]

Fantastic designs!!! Have a wonderful market!! Have you ever been to the lace museum Lacis near or in Alameda,CA? I was fortunate enough to visit it as part of a Jeanette Douglas trip with the Silver Needle. The lace shawls were black and displayed on the walls. It was amazing!

[@worksbyabc]

Yes! A few years back I went to both Lacis and The Lace Museum during a west coast trip. Would love to visit both again some day.

[@adelaidestitcher]

Love the new patterns! (In case you didn't know, I think your top still has the tag on it xx)

[@worksbyabc]

Thanks! 🙂

[@elizabethpham8456]

New here, Just came across your channel. your design patterns are so pretty when will it be available on your Etsy store? Love the 324 and majestic lace.

[@worksbyabc]

All the Nashville releases will be in my Etsy store at the beginning of April. Thanks!

[@2ladyhomesteadershodge898]

Question: Are these patterns Pattern Keeper friendly? Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I want to make all of your "lace" patterns. Also, I noticed on your Etsy page that a lot of the patterns were posted twice with different price points. What is the difference to cross stitchers? Vivian Ann

[@worksbyabc]

Hi, Vivian - The pdf versions of my patterns are indeed Pattern Keeper friendly. On my Etsy store, I sell two versions of every design - a paper copy to be mailed to you and a pdf version for instant download. Etsy does not allow a listing to have both options at once, so I have to create 2 different listings. If you favor one over the other, you can click on that category (wherever categories might be listed, it depends on what device you are on) and then see only the pdf listings or only the paper listings. I also put those words - pdf and paper - in the title of each listing. Hope this helps!

[@rhondawise1897]

Good luck in Nashville and beautiful patterns. Can the lace pattern be done on Aida ❤

[@worksbyabc]

Yes! The lace piece would be perfectly fine on Aida. It is all over 2 on my linen, which translates perfectly to aida

[@DP-lx8of]

here is the Korean way: pyeonghwa

[@andrewilliams1954]

🪡👍🏽

[@AStitchTooFar]

Vray-duh I guess would come closest to pronouncing vrede ;) xx

[@worksbyabc]

Thanks so much, Ingeborg ❤. I should have looked up and practiced the pronunciation of at least some of those words before I started the video 😊
