Flosstube Extra: WIP Parade 2023 Year End

[@margaretmilczarek7885]

A lovely variety of projects. I'm looking forward to seeing their progress.

[@kjmstitches]

Hi Laura! What a great video! I loved seeing all your projects and hearing your goals for 2024. Your stitching is so beautiful and I love the fabric choices you pick! I am also sad that To Dye For Fabrics is not dyeing fabric in 2024! The videos you decided to do for Flossmas were so enjoyable! I loved all of them! Thanks for taking the time to do those for all of us. 🎉Happy New Year!

[@leannsprow5442]

Wonderful video. I love your idea for a santa window on your Kringles. Happy New Year.

[@georgiemcdougle9064]

I really enjoyed seeing all your wips that you wanna do this coming year and on.

[@Eliska_Svobodova]

Hi Laura, I wanted to catch up with your videos to be up-to-date and then comment, but I would probably be retired before I finish all of your videos...so hello from episode 77 :D I started to listen to you in September 2023 during my stitching sessions and really got use to it. You are in my regular rotation - I either listen to true crime podcast (if I want to listen to my native language) or to you (if I want to practice my English :D ). So thanks for your videos. You really are a lovely person. And this WIP parade is awesome. I'm a strictly monogamic stitcher, so I can't even imagine to have so many projects to be going at the same time! Oh and also thank you for the idea with scrapbooking some projects. I always found some cute designs but I never know what to do with them (my friends are not really into hand-made gifts so I only made a few). Happy stitching to you too!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Thank you so much for watching through my videos! And I’m really glad the scrapbook idea reasonated with you.

[@tammyvickery6748]

Happy New Year! Loved the wip parade. Looking forward to watching progress throughout the year.

[@MsKarenMR]

Happy Stitching and Happy New Year 🎉❤!!!

[@jillpoteat2974]

I enjoyed seeing all of your cross stitch wips. They were so beautiful! I saw several I would like to do. I am doing several large projects and a tip I wanted to tell you, I learned from another flosstuber, to roll the material up and use towel clips to hold the fabric out of your way. That's what I do. It helps so much. I hope that will help you out, See you very soon.

[@andrea_can_2]

Happy New Year Laura! What a great WIP parade. I have been working on ATC cards for the swap in February. I’m really excited for it. Happy Stitching!

[@connieenevold1745]

Wow, so many fun designs! Thanks for sharing along with all your notes. FYI, the Prairie Schooler has a sideways Santa you may be able to use in the Kringle window. Just need to recharge the sleigh part😏

[@donnahudson2067]

Love your stitching. I saw a seated Santa profile in Pinterest, I just googled seated Santa profile cross stitch

[@Peggys_still_stitching]

I love ravens reply - I’m allllllll about Poe stitches

[@lee-annbender5515]

Oh I really need to get my Stitching Treasures started. I got the box too and accessory packs. Only had the pattern for over 10 years. Nice wip parade.

[@helenfisher7842]

What a wonderful inspiring video! I'm watching your video as I'm recovering from covid, so your video is great therapy! I truly enjoy your projects! Happy New Year!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I am so sorry to hear that you have been sick. So glad my video can help pass the time - I hope you're feeling better soon!

[@jojos853]

Happy new year, thank you.

[@oljanlo7968]

LOVE your Prairie Schooler Autumn stitch! It looked so brown to me on the chart, though I love fall most of all, I was sad that do not like to stitch with those colors. But seeing yours was super exciting:). In case you decide to through it away, I'll gladly adopt and finish it!!!!!!

[@kansascitygirlinacoloradow4285]

That really is a lot of house 😂 I swear the third house went super fast!!! That red middle house was a killer. You’ve got so much done and I think the last house is under 2500 stitches so I really don’t think it will take you another year 😅

[@marthaabstein6046]

Enjoyed this look through all of your WIPs and plans for their next year plan. I wanted to let you know that I have my first 2024 finish on Jan. 2. It is one that has been hanging around since February. (It was my birthday start this year.). My goal this year is to have 24 finishes and 24 new starts.

[@RenewingStitches]

I just finished watching and had forgotten about several of these- such an enabler, you are! : ) Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Can't wait to see your progress!

[@kathyaufman1016]

Great WIP parade, I honestly would've guessed you had more than 75 total because your weekly videos show so much variety!😊

[@honeybstitcher1598]

Hi Laura, i enjoyed every minute of your WIP-parade. I was stitching on my Port Mauve Butterfly while listening to you and look up every time you showed a new one. Love, love your projects en your thought process about them. Thank you for taking the time for making the video. Happy New Year. Alice

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Thank you Laura…so many beautiful pieces to work on. No need to fear the beads…you will be great.

[@raggedygene1770]

What beautiful stitching! Love seeing your projects.

[@cfitzgerald.174]

Happy new year🎉

[@maureenlopez9266]

For a lot of WIPs, you really seem to have things under control! 😂. I love how organized you are. It was fun seeing everything today!

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Great timing for a Wip Parade. Watching Rose Parade on TV , around 15 or so floats go by my house on New Year's Eve. Love Video. Question: if you have a strong hand dye fabric "autumn by stitch me". Would you stitch one color on it. Never stitch on hand dye fabric. I'm lost

[@karenolson2532]

O to have stalled on Kringles not sure what I might do .but do like your idea . Happy new year 🎉

[@sallyknotwell1605]

I just watched this today (1-1-24) and it was a thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours! I always feel bad about having the number of WIPS I do (8 of them!) and your WIP Parade took the wind out of my sails, for sure. So thank you for showing us all of your wonderful projects. I am looking to add some more WIPs to my bucket this year - thanks to you, my friend. While watching your parade, I finished my Swans from Year in the Woods by Cottage Garden Samplings! Happy Happy New Year to you and yours...I can't wait for your next video.

[@Nightfeare]

I get so anxious about having enough fabric, I will stitch to the borders and then cut. I loved seeing all your projects. ❤❤❤

[@SALex_stitches]

What a wonderful wip parade 😍😍 Really enjoyed this video and wishing you a great and successful stitching year!

[@izza_ISFP]

Hi! I started cross stitching at the beginning of January 2024 and discovered “flosstube”. New subscriber! I haven't read all the comments, maybe someone has already suggested it to you but for your Kringles do you have the Santa Christmas sampler (I saw it at Kooler Design Studio). There are 2 Santas sitting in it... Love your choice of design. I have to restrain myself to not go on a buying spree lol

[@MandyParker]

So great to see all your wonderful projects, Laura! Great job getting through them all.

[@dawnbammel2059]

I've been wanting to start The One for years but I lost the PDF. 😂 I still love it

[@StitchingontheSide]

Just starting your WIP parade but before I forget - I *love* that idea about changing the Kringles house to two stories, that has put that pattern on my holiday wish list for the future. I have always kind of peeked at it but I like the way it looks more as two stories and that feels more manageable. Thanks for such nice videos, you are great to watch while stitching away. Happy new year!

[@michellekaping-johnson4564]

I would love to see how you scrapbook these and see your scrapbook too. Enjoyed seeing your progress.

[@stitchingbytheshore]

My Flossmas #2 video from this past December was a flip through of my scrapbooks.

[@michellekaping-johnson4564]

@@stitchingbytheshore I will look for it. I am excited. Thanks.

[@ninapulliam9200]

Good to see your WIPs. Love your fabric variety. Would you please show how you use your iPad for cross stitch? How to put patterns on it then how to use it when stitching.

[@stitchingbytheshore]

For the most part I really don’t use my iPad for stitching, The only one I do so is with Christmas Town. And for that, I pull up the download and just make the picture bigger to see the symbols. I know a lot of people like Good Notes, Pattern Keeper and Markup RxP. I would say search those in KZbin. I bet there are several tutorial videos that would show how to use them.

[@theresaclark762]

Can you tell us about how you store your DMC's. Your Prarie schooler santa you are working on the deer, will that santa due for the Kringals store? (the Mill Hill sleigh looks like it would make a great santa chair for the Kringal store) It made me sad that you didn't like doing the border on the poppy flowers with lace border because I love lace looking borders or trims in a chart, but I just saw on another floss tube where they had done a lace border that was fantastic all because they used a slightly darker fabric. I myself finished summer at the shore this year 2023, loved it (did find the wing tricky). But I can never stitch as many charts as you in a year. Would love to know the changes you make on the haunted library and where you got them. Thanks for reading this long comment.

[@carolines_stitch_corner]

Hi! I met you briefly yesterday in the Zoom Group :) I really enjoyed your WiP Parade! You are lovely to listen to! About the iPad Issue: I have KZbin premium so I can have KZbin playing in an extra window, I have my pattern up full screen either in Markup R-XP or Goodnotes and the Flosstube in a little window on top of that that gets pushed into the corner of the Pfarrern I don’t need to see at the moment… maybe that helps…

[@lisaboban]

I'm pretty sure you don't need KZbin premium for the "picture in picture" feature. You need to enable it in your settings. In IoS it's under Settings, General, Start PIP automatically.

[@carolines_stitch_corner]

@@lisaboban ah thats good to know, I'll have to check that out! I just noticed that I coudnt do it anymore when my Premium endet. But I have premium again anyways because I don't care for all the ads ;)

[@devrakline4967]

What an awesome WIP parade! Loved every minute! Some of your WIPS I had forgot about! Like the Pink Reindeer and Winter Sampler. Hope to see them out soon!

[@ContentedNeedleworkerKim]

It will be fun to see how you progress this year and if you met these goals!

[@CarmenHatcher-n2d]

Wow, this is the first time viewing your video. Your work is amazing. I'm curious where did you get your floss holding cabinets?

[@TheQcaller]

I'm turning 55 this year as well. I'm not ambitious enough for 55 finishes. Maybe 5 FO and 5 FFO. I'll enjoy watching your progress!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

I think that’s a great way to approach it!

[@owlandgatorstitcher]

Great to see all your projects. Happy New Year!🦉🐊

[@DeviSisk]

💛🖤💛

[@dorisinger3340]

Can you tell about your storage cabinet it looks like it is multiple drawers for floss? Thank you!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Those cabinets are Iris 64 drawer cabinets. I got them on Amazon but I believe they can be found in many places.

[@kima9181]

Hi! Have you looked through the Christmas stockings to find a small Santa? For instance "Sleepy Santa" by Stoney Creek has a gent in an armchair.

[@stitchingbytheshore]

That’s a great idea that I hadn’t thought of. Thanks!

[@deborahkemp8922]

Red coat I would just do ray and coat skip the trees

[@lindarubano4562]

Great video..your projects are beautiful…when you stitch on 18 count Aida are you using one thread or two

[@stitchingbytheshore]

Thank you 😀 I like to use two strands because I like the fuller coverage

[@deborahkemp8922]

Pink girl I think I would do just girl and dog and skip the rest

[@stitchingbettynos]

🧚🧡🧚

[@katrinagallagher7823]

Hi Laura! What is the name of the full coverage Christmas Shelf pattern you are stitching? Did you get it on Etsy? I luv it and want to start it! I love it Flosstube. Thank u!

[@stitchingbytheshore]

It’s called Christmas Tale. I have looked and looked to try to find it on the internet. The shop I got it from no longer seems to be there so I’m still trying. If I can find the info, I’ll make sure to mention it on my videos.
