Flosstube #91

[@theresalaboda3569]

So glad Jerry is on the mend! He will be in my prayers. All your finishing is beautiful. I love the bells! So glad to have you back in my mail in the morning and flosstube.

[@cindygehrke5249]

Prayers for your husband’s complete recovery! 🙏🏻 I had a tree cutter come cut down all the trees that could land on our house! We live in the woods so I don’t need trees especially BIG ones in my yard! After my husband’s stroke this Spring, things have changed so much but stitching has remained, and kept my hands busy and my mind at ease. Keep stitching Marlene! ❤

[@Merrcraw15]

Great to see you Mrs. Marlene. So glad to get an update on Mr. Jerry! Thankful for his successful surgery and continued recovery. Loved seeing your stitching - your Madame Chantilly ornaments are so cute. They make me smile! Fun parade of WIPs. Take care and Happy Stitching!

[@robinwood3120]

Ms. Marlene, it was so good to see your sweet self today. Your stitches are gorgeous. Prayers for your Sweet Darlin and his recovery. I thank God that your family and friends have been there for y'all. Enjoy your stitching. Take care.

[@theintuitivestitcher9336]

Hi Marlene, so good to see you again here on your flosstube channel. I enjoy seeing all of your finishes and all of your projects! You are a beautiful stitcher ♡ Sending healing thoughts and prayers to your husband, and to you also that you get your rest as he recuperates. Take care 🌹

[@sandypalmer6200]

Marlene, I love seeing all of your stitching. There are so many beautiful patterns and we jus need more time, don’t we? I am glad to hear Jerry is on the mend. Take care of yourself too. Nothing like family!

[@gerryfix1009]

A great flosstube. I hope Jerry continues to do well. Hearing about his journey brought back memories. My husband had a heart attack and bypass surgery about a year ago. He is now doing well. It was complicated because he went for a hike just over in the county next to us. He realized something was wrong when he had a hard time walking. He was able to call 911, and fortunately they could find him. He was deep in the woods. They took him to the hospital by ambulance to the county where he had been hiking. Turned out to be good they took him there. They took him to a hospital a little further, where the surgery could be done. He had an excellent Dr. He’s 74. As I said, he is doing well. I pray that your husband will continue to heal. It takes awhile to heal so keep being hopeful. It will happen. I’m glad you have wonderful support and family. Prayers and a warm hug!! 🍁🍁🍁🌲🌲

[@MarleneBush]

Thank you so much for this great story of healing..it’s so encouraging! Blessings, Marlene

[@idacole2443]

Prayers are coming your way for you and your family. When my son was going through kidney failure and had to have a transplant I felt very bless for the 30 years that I got. Your honey bunny will get thru this little bump in the road and will be as good as new. ❤ enjoyed all your wonderful stitching. Take care

[@sharonbruce6639]

Marlene, its wonderful to see you and your beautiful stitching again. It is so good to hear that Gerry is improving......slow and steady wins the race. Sending you both love, hugs and prayers ♥️♥️♥️

[@farmboyslove980]

Im glad that Jerry is recovering & able to be at home with you. Your journal is a fantastic way to document & find the little milestone of his recovery to be grateful for. I love how you love your wips. Its good therapy on those hard days. Have a wonderful week & stitch on 🤘

[@CarolRogers50]

Blessings to both of you I’m 72 now in 1979 my husband had heart attack & 3 bypass we changed our lives things were great he was 47 I was 29 🙏

[@sharonwurm4382]

Loved seeing your WIP parade and your finishes! I have Winter Rose Manor in my kitted projects, but I’m trying to WIP down to 60 projects by the time I turn 60 in July. I do want to start it though! Sending you many prayers for your husband!

[@suzannelandry1292]

So happy to see you again, Marlene, and so glad to hear that your husband is doing well. I loved seeing all of your projects and will be keeping you and Jerry in my thoughts and prayers. ❤️

[@maralouspear3266]

Ann of Shepherd’s Needle referred me to you. So happy to find someone in my area! I live in Hot Springs Village. Thanks !😊

[@MarleneBush]

Maralou how wonderful to know that there’s someone close by! If you wouldn’t mind to email me ([e-mail]) maybe your phone number if you would, I’d love to meet you some time. We could meet at the library if you come into town and visit and stitch. I’m sure we could find a place there. Or we could meet for lunch.... whatever you’re comfortable with. Blessings, Marlene

[@countrytapestry9890]

I have watched you from day one and don't n think I have ever told you how much I enjoy your videos. Although the accent is different you remind me so much of my mother's voice. I spent so many hours with her in the hospital and various doctor's over the years before she passed. The last couple years she lived in a mother in law home we set up beside us. I didn't have outside family help but my daughters and husband helped a lot. I know exactly how hard caregiving can be both physically and especially mentally. I will continue to keep you and your husband in my prayers.

[@karenbarnes627]

So happy to see you on again and very happy that Jerry is progressing well. I know it can be slow at times but you will soon look back at all of this. Love all your finishes and all the progress on your whips! Getting cold in Tulsa this week, but we are ready! Thank you for taking time to video, always love spending time with you! Blessings to you Marlene! And to Jerry!

[@allisonferber5474]

It’s always such a treat when you pop up on my feed. Your projects are so wonderful and I have gotten so many really good ideas from you. I love the patriotic piece on the round box! You are such a dynamo. I am sorry your husband is having health problems. He is fortunate to be surrounded by such a loving family. That and modern medicine is fabulous. I send good wishes for a steady recovery.

[@cathylounsbury7707]

Hi Marlene! Oh my, you have some beautiful finishes and WIPs you have been working on!! You have been busy! So glad to hear your Jerry is doing well and I pray for continued improvement and strength for him and patience for you. I know how hard it is to care for someone who is recovering from a major surgery. You just want them to get well and be done with it! Bless you for taking such good care of him. Happy stitching til next time! 🪡🧵🪡✂️🍁🍂🍁🍂🎃🦃🧡🤎💛

[@paulettecurt-costa8902]

So nice to see you and hear your good news on Jerry’s progress! Your projects are so beautiful, I don’t know how you are going to pick which ones you will choose next. Love the drum! God bless and will keep you and Jerry in my prayers!

[@albertacontee3530]

Hi Marlene, So pleased and thankful that Jerry is recovering with you at home. Will keep you both in my prayers. You make sure to take care of yourself also. Being a caregiver is hard work also.

[@lindacraig5056]

Marlene So glad to hear Jerry is doing so much better. That is a tough surgery my husband had a quadruple by pass quite a few years ago and he was much younger than Jerry and it took him a bit to get back to normal. I know its hard on you as well. Lots of stress.Please take care of yourself as well. Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful stitching and patterns. I love that Madam Chantilly Day of Christmas. Hope you have fun with all of your new starts can't wait to see them all. Happy stitching

[@susanreamy6239]

Hi Marlene - It's so nice to see you back on the wires with your beautiful stitching. I have thought about Jerry and yourself and your family many times since your last flosstube. It's wonderful to hear that Jerry is doing well, and more wonderful still to hear about the web of support created for him, and you, by family members. Continued best wishes for his continuing recovery. It's a process. You are in my prayers. xo

[@cindygaudet1390]

Oh so nice to see you again! Missed you but glad Jerry is doing well, continued prayers for his healing. And I hope you get to go away as the caregiver needs to look after themselves as well, and such fun for you to go stitch and visit with others. Love all the stitching and the wips are so great. I never saw the modern folk embroidery one and that top is beautiful! Oh you are so sweet. I so would love to sit stitch and visit with you.

It's always good to see you Marlene. I can't believe how much stitching progress you have made considering all you have been through these last few weeks. I am so glad Jerry is recovering. I will continue to pray for him and you as well. I totally agree with you about having a 24 hr/day advocate with your loved ones in the hospital. It is such a blessing that you had so much family that was able to help you. Stay strong, Marlene! Blessings to you!

Hi Marlene. Been thinking of you both. I believe I’ve seen a tutorial vlog by Helen D who gives great clear instructions on finishing many projects including one on trimming the mini dot braid. I’ll check them and see if I can find the specific one. 🐨👍

[@Leanyscookiejar]

I really enjoyed seeing all of your projects you are working on and have finished. I hope you get to go to your retreat. It is very stressful taking care of a loved one. Of course the biggest stress is hoping they get well. You do need to take care of yourself so that you are strong enough for both of you. I will pray for both of you for strength to get through this. You look beautiful in that lilac color shirt! Thanks for sharing ! Stay well and stay strong.🙏💜🧵

Prayers for Jerry

[@vickiulrich6694]

Marilyn…take heart that it took my husband 12 weeks to get himself back on track and he was 61-62. The most difficult thing for Jack was the push to get him up and going the first few weeks. As hard as it was I feel that it was the absolute best thing in his recovery. Now just so you know, Jack went in thinking he was just having the balloon and out…he didn’t come home for 3 1/2 weeks as the blockage was so severe that the procedure couldn’t be done and surgery was scheduled…then a hematoma came to put a wrecking ball into everything that was scheduled leaving him flat on his back for days with a hard ball strapped so tight on his groin he about went over the edge. In all of this he went through the heart surgery only having a double instead of a triple due to one artery already rerouting itself AND to me the absolute best part was he was finally able to kick the smoking habit he’d had for 3 decades. Probably truth be told…that was his biggest hurdle to jump but sometimes God doesn’t mess around when He decides how our life is going to play out. The only lasting issue Hunny deals with is the weather and his titanium breast plate they had to insert, seems all the barometric pressure changes wreck havoc on him. I am praying for Jerry and you as you both journey through his recovery process. Have no fear for God is in control and He is so good ALL THE TIME! I think often about your lemon tree as I remember having a discussion about it when it was sickly. Keep it as close to a full sun window as you can and it will weather the indoor confinement ok I’m sure. Thanks for sharing a bit of life and stitching…I always enjoy all your visits. Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your family!!!:):):)

[@MarleneBush]

Vickie this is so encouraging! Thank you for sharing. God has shown Himself many times in the last month and we continue to trust him. Blessings, marlene

[@gmarielopez2319]

Love your video. Was fun to see all your wipes very interesting. How can you stitch on 37ct, 36ct and so on it is so small. If you can do it! I can do it! You give me such incentive! I have no one in my family that does cross stitch or even interest in it. I just love it so much. I feel I am worth it, but no one to share it with do it gets lonesome. Thank God I have the drive to do it and applications for it. I love that you share your family's news. I look forward to that too. I send my heartfelt prays for Jerry and you. Take care bless your so much. You are one classy lady.

[@MarleneBush]

Sometimes it takes perseverance to stitch on the smaller counts. I use readers and a magnifier and lots of lights, all at once. And then I stitch for an hour. I put it away and go to a project with a lower count and come back to the higher count a couple of days later. Try it...I bet you can do it. Blessings, Marlene

[@AbiBellaStitch]

I am hoping for a fast recovery for Jerry and I hope you get to go to the Silver Needle retreat! My friend Kristine will be going!

[@MarleneBush]

Hi Abi...I ended up canceling the retreat I’m afraid. I just didn’t feel comfortable leaving him or taking a chance on bringing germs back to him. Another time maybe. ❤️

[@AbiBellaStitch]
