Flosstube Extra: Christmas Cross Stitch Finishes Parade

[@ellenrainie3156]

Just what I needed to get a fire under me to finish soooooo many things! Thanks for always being an inspiration!

[@helend.flosstube]

Happy to light the fire! 😉

[@hunnybunny21918]

Thank you for another wonderful flosstube.... 😊

[@staceysalisbury2228]

That was a fun flosstube Helen. My favorite finish is the stand up Prairie Schooler Santas. Many people make pillows or flat folds, but I like the stand up version! Clever!

[@tamimorgan1487]

Fun flosstube! Fabulous finishes! Have fun decorating ! Thanks for sharing!

[@ritavos8652]

Thank you for sharing. I could feel your excitement getting everything out. I have 5 framed Christmas cross stitch, one framed quilted piece, a few large pillows and many cross stitch and quilted ornaments from years past and present which are so fun to dig out each year. Almost like opening a present!

[@helend.flosstube]

It's absolutely like opening a present! 🌲

[@gloriaurrea7916]

Simply gorgeous. All your finish😊es are beautiful. But the strawberries are the best. Thank you

[@donnabrown9210]

My favorite thing from your video is Kringle flying lessons, but all your finishes are amazing and your stitching is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing, inspiring and enabling. :)

[@helend.flosstube]

Kringle Flying Academy was such a fun stitch!

[@lisahaley116]

Everything is great, but I do love your stand-up Santas. Enjoy decorating!

[@CJ-cn1sf]

Hi Helen, Love the stand ups and the berries. My favorite of your Christmas Cross Stitch is “Tis the Season” Blackbird Design. Stay well and happy stitching.

[@jackietrembley9827]

Hi Helen! I always get so much inspiration from seeing your seasonal unboxing videos! Thanks!

[@madebymichellemcgraw5899]

Always a delight to see your stitch finishes!

[@lorainer9988]

Oh wow the amount of back stitching on the cut through North Pole, it’s amazing

[@helend.flosstube]

That piece was a ton of work, but I love it!

[@colleen2503]

Such a holly jolly episode! I loved everything. So much inspiration and finishing ideas. Thanks, Helen!

[@helend.flosstube]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🌲

[@lorettalowe5096]

Love when you show your holiday/season box finishes for decorating. Your stand ups are my favorite.

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you so much! 🌲

[@kima9181]

So here for a finish parade!!!! I've never seen "cut through" before - love it.

[@helend.flosstube]

There's a whole series of them and they're all cute!

[@hannamansfield2894]

Thank you Helen....lovely...everything is lovely. My favourite are the stand up santas and also I love your dasher dancer pattern...just great

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you so much! 🌲

[@joanietritschler9862]

Helen You are a Determined inspirational stitcher. I love your work

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you so much! 🌲

[@Pamallama_Stitches]

What a fun video of goodies! Great stitching & finishing as always!

[@kathyharris7158]

Thanks for showing all those Christmas beauties. Now I want to start so many more things!

[@allisonferber5474]

That was impressive. Love that so many of them were fairly small. Not everything had to be a massive finish. And, love that you actually fully finish your pieces. Happy holidays and thanks.

[@lorelei9393]

Its so great to see everything. If I stitched only Christmas i still wouldn't have time to stitch everything i want so its fun to see othet people's finishes 😊 Keep stitching

[@helend.flosstube]

I think a lot of us feel that way!

[@josieashmore8827]

Ohhh I do love it all. I especially love the berries

[@gailholland2463]

So many beautiful finishes-you are an inspiration to all of us. I really like how you have used lavender, light blue, and mint green for your fabrics to stitch Christmas designs on. I am old enough to remember when most cross stitch was done on white or cream aida fabric. The colored fabrics make the designs pop! I really enjoy your videos.

[@helend.flosstube]

There are so many beautiful fabrics available now! I agree they really help the designs pop!

[@DLNYTube]

Nice Christmas collection of stitched pieces. I love the ‘Tis the Season’ and Plum Pudding! I just stitched two smalls for my Granddaughters for this year’s fun gift! Enjoy the season! Cheers.

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you! You too! 🌲

[@emb54]

I don't have a favorite but I love the way you decorate the stawberry tops. Always watch your unboxing holiday stashes ; )

[@denisenagelschmidt2766]

I love these parades. I'm always inspired by your finishes! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work.

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you so much! 🌲

[@paulagolden4731]

I am sitting here enjoying your unpacking & saying out loud "Oh, I have that pattern, and that one & yes, that one too!" My husband turns to me & asks "Where because I haven't seen those?". 😂 He has no idea how deep my stash really is! 😂😂 He did recognize a few of the HOD patterns that grace our tree! I am now inspired to let the decorating begin! 🪡🪡🪡🎄🎄🎄

[@helend.flosstube]

I don't know if any of our husbands really know 🤣

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Funnily enough, of all the things you've shown tonight, I've only stitched your design! 😊 Great finish parade as usual.

[@helend.flosstube]

Really!? I'm honored! 🌲

Love all your holiday stitches! Thank you!!

[@sandyevenson-hagen370]

Wonderful Christmas stitches and tons of inspiration! Love the strawberries, especially Naughty or Nice. I’m going to have to keep my eyes open for holiday frames, the various red frames you shared are awesome. 🎄

[@helend.flosstube]

It can be hard to find colored frames! If I see one I think will work for something I usually pick it up and tuck it away 🌲

[@sheriking4041]

I just love watching your finish parades. 👍

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you! 🌲

On my very long to do list is to stitch one of the Prairie Schooler Santa’s and finish as a stand up. All of your finishes are beautiful. 🪡🪡🪡

[@pattifletcher5345]

I love all of them. My favorite is the one that is a half of a house with various thins in each room.

[@helend.flosstube]

I love that piece! It took me years to stitch!

[@sprinklesofsunshine4751]

Loved seeing all of your Christmas stitches. They are so beautiful, and your home is going to be so festive. I am going to have to try and do a stand up as those are divine!

[@helend.flosstube]

They seem a little intimidating, but they're really not that difficult!

[@CobwebCorner]

Helen - once again you're making me look bad - and of course motivating me to stitch more! Great finishes - you're amazing!

[@helend.flosstube]

John walked downstairs right before I started filming and had stuff everywhere. He was like, wow, that's a lot!

[@gloriastengel8687]

Wonderful parade! I love seeing what you have made, and I take notes for charts I “need”! I also snagged your free reindeer names pattern and have the perfect hand dyed fabric for it! Thank you!

[@cbkemp]

Loved seeing your finishes. I really liked the satsuma street standups.

[@janadachingwa9234]

You have a great Christmas collection of pictures items for shelves. Have a nice and safe week.

[@JillybeanL66]

Nice to see all your christmas stitchy projects while I was kicking back with a cup of java, have fun decorating

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you! 🌲

[@JennyFleming]

Thank you for sharing Helen! I think my favorite is ABC Christmas by Lizzie Kate. So many tiny finishes on the words to keep us stitchers motivated.

[@helend.flosstube]

I miss Lizzie Kate!! Her designs are always so fun to stitch.

[@RedwoodsAndRain]

I’ll be right over to help decorate! (I live in Northern California) Thank you Helen. It is so fun to see all of your finished projects. 😁

Thank you! 🌲

Lots of cute Christmas stitches! Love that moose in Woodland Peace by Heart in Hand.

[@helend.flosstube]

Yes! Cecilia Turner designs the cutest animals!

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Helen: You have a gift for choosing the right frames and finishes. Thank-you for sharing, Merry Christmas I am making the rolling pin design from the 2023 Just Cross Stitch magazine.

[@helend.flosstube]

I don't remember seeing that one in the magazine, I'll have to give it another look!

[@jacquelineboyd1269]

No favorites. They are all beautiful. Enjoyed!

[@helend.flosstube]

Thanks so much 🌲

[@barbarawest1205]

That's an impressive collection, Helen! I think my favorites are the primitive Santas and the two Father Christmas standalones with the green coats. Although I did like the woodland themed ones. There was one with a pair of squirrels and I love squirrels. Your standup triangular Christmas trees are my style, too. See, I can't pick! Now I'm going back to the beginning to take another look at your big framed pieces.

[@helend.flosstube]

I really can't pick either! 🤣

[@barbarawest1205]

😂@@helend.flosstube 😂

[@rhondazamora8136]

I’ve been waiting for your Christmas unboxing. Great finishes! I think I need to make all of the stand-up trees. Now, I’m excited to see your ornament unboxing.

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you! I still need to go through that video and see if I can figure out all of the chart names. 😊

[@kathyhaymaker840]

Always beautiful!!!

[@barbiejobonnett7473]

You are a master finisher! Love seeing all your projects - some I have stitched and some I want to stitch and many others I totally admire. No way to choose a favorite, but I do love your standups. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas season.

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you! 🌲

[@patz780]

Choose a favorite? 😂 Not possible. I love everything you create, as our taste in designs are so similar. Standup and berries are some favorite styles and the large framed pieces are just beautiful. Wish I lived close…I’d be over to help decorate in a heart beat. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@helend.flosstube]

I would have taken you up on the decorating help! 🌲

adorable projects! love them all!

[@normajean8105]

oh Helen you are so inspiring! I really loved everything you showed but the Brenda Gervais ones you put on the wooden tags I just loved those

[@helend.flosstube]

They stitched up so quickly and are adorable!

[@amymontoya1971]

You always have so many beautiful pieces to pick just one favorite. Happy Holidays and thank you for your wonderful videos.

[@lollipopc4901]

So wonderful Helen! I have a much more muted colour palette so I love seeing the cheerful colours you use. I'm always inspired by your ideas for finishes. You have so many shapes and sizes of things. This is only my second Christmas stitching, so it will take me a while to have a collection. Squeeze away! Where there's a will there's a way! ☺️ Looking forward to your next video... Laurel 💖

[@helend.flosstube]

It's definitely taken me years to accumulate all of these pieces! 🤣

[@betsywise4948]

So glad I found you…so enjoyed this

[@debng3210]

What a great collection of finished pieces! I have been finishing some of the Prairie Schooler Old World Santas for my grown kids...kind of fun that they have their own households for me to stitch for now!

[@helend.flosstube]

I bet they love and appreciate getting new stitches to put out!

Love your unboxing videos, Helen. We need to invent some more holidays so you can stitch for them.😂 I've really only started seasonal stitching since I've started watching your channel.

[@helend.flosstube]

Wouldn't that be fun! There are definitely holidays that have more than others, but I always seem to add to the Christmas collection every year. 🌲

[@xstitchdogsandtea]

You enabled me to stitch Heaven and Nature sing last year. I picked up some of Lizzie Kate’s Jingles from someone downsizing now I need to decide if I want them all. I’ll stitch them as smalls most likely.

Literally went to my laptop to Hands On Design (love the "Holly Tree Co.") before you even finished up (and darn it, am buying more than one design). This is the third purchase this year influenced by your work --- keep 'em coming!

I'm happy to enable! And I agree, it looks so bare behind me!

Some amazing Christmas stitching! I know what you mean, I keep stitching Christmas but lord knows where I’ll put it all. I do however love putting Christmas decorations out and would volunteer to carry it all around while you put it out if I lived closer. After it would be cookies & hot chocolate time 🙂.

[@helend.flosstube]

That would be wonderful!
