Flosstube Extra: WIP Parade Part 1

[@owlbestitching8839]

Beautiful shares and I love that floral bouquet finish. Looks perfect in that gold oval frame. Just beautiful! - And what a nice antique sewing machine that’s a part of your husbands family and is now yours! What a blessing. ❤🕊️ 🤗

[@laurelgardner4998]

I love your really long videos! I make some hot tea and stitch while I watch you. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@blacksheepenchanted]

Wow! Great collection of WIP’s Laura! 👏🏻 I am an avid LalaDee viewer so I’ve seen all of your WIP’s before but seeing them again was food for the soul. I am so amazed that you have 125 WIP’s - I’d be sooo dizzy! 😂 That’s what makes the world go round though. I appreciate that you enjoy such a variety of stitching and get many of my ideas from you. I relatively new to the craft so I am learning and taking my time - slowly I am trying new fabrics, flosses and techniques but, as I watch Floss-Tube, I find myself thinking I “need” far more charts and Stitchy stuff than I will be able to complete for quite a long while. 🫢 PLUS, now, I’m very keen on beginning to quilt! Like I need another project! 😂 This year, I too, am stitching from stash with the exception of floss and fabric necessary to complete carts I want to work on. Still resolving the details . . . Just makes sense. 😊 Can’t wait to follow up with Part 2 - LOVE your work and your ideas! Thanks for sharing. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡 Jacque 🐑

Never stop ‘ramblings’ your style is so much part of who you are and why I watch your channel. What an eclectic range of wips … I was watching the video in chunks and was disappointed it ended 😂. I’d just sat down for an afternoon of stitching when it came to an end. How amazing to find someone else as excited about Treasure Island SAL. I feel like that petered out for so many. I made it to the end and enjoyed actually now embellishing the treasure to give it a more special touch. So yes definitely stick to it. Looking forward to part 2 and to seeing how you progress on those projects❤

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your progress on your beautiful wips. Happy stitching!

[@chaso7900]

Hi from France! I really appreciate your work. Wonderful hive rules!

[@mj.crafty]

Hi Laura loved your video today you great taste in stitching 🧵 thank you for sharing ❤🎉

[@thaliapatricio9964]

Your WIPs are beautiful. I had to watch part 1 in 3 sittings since we were cruising last week (limited internet). Now home so time to sit and enjoy part 2 while stitching and just enjoying your joyful love of cross stitch! Thank you for your fun and happy videos.

[@stephaniewingett2173]

You're such a lovely person to watch. The longer the better for your videos -- I NEVER get bored!! Thanks for sharing your lovelies. I'll be watching part 2 for sure. xx

[@biadoras]

Yay WiPparade

[@melissac_rustyhingestitchery]

What you call rambling I think of as us having a conversation as i frequently talk back as if you can hear me 🤣

[@JillybeanL66]

Enjoyed part one of your WIP parade, love your idea fot Hawk run hollow shores, will need to see part two.

[@trudihuffman]

I start working at 5AM and your smiling face and awesome giggle are the perfect way to start my day. I love seeing all your projects, your stitching is beautiful. Impatiently waiting for Part 2 😂❤

[@clarekalantar]

Hi Laura, I’m a good bit older than you but I’m one of those who left serious cross-stitching for many years and just returned at the end of 2020…so I do have some 25-30 year old projects😂 and I still like them! But I’d recommend that you don’t let that happen! We have some of the same projects now. Take some stitchy time for yourself and we’ll all be looking forward to Part II of your WIP parade.

[@AliciaO_UpperMeadowStitcher]

So much fun! I love how you say that you are in no rush to get your projects finished it is more about the process. I often stress myself out over the feeling that I HAVE to finish a piece NOW! I am trying to get over that and just enjoy stitching. I am also rearranging Shores but I did it square with three blocks on the top, the big ship in the middle with half blocks on either side and three blocks on the bottom.

[@hawthornfairy188]

Such a pleasure to watch your feature length WIP parade and hear about your 2024 plans. You're working on many seriously beautiful projects

[@Linda-Lovestostitch]

Loved your video and all your WIPs.

[@1884Stitchery]

New subscriber and viewer. Beautiful work and love the variety. Off to part 2...

[@flowerandlinen]

Loving it. Can’t wait to see part 2. Thanks for sharing.

[@magnolianestdesigns]

LOTR extended edition length WIP parades are officially my new favourite thing ❤ I loved both parts so much, especially the first one - the "rambling" is my jam and I would have loved more of it

[@carolines_stitch_corner]

I feel like left on a cliffhanger and can’t wait to watch part 2 😅

[@julienichols9712]

I just found your channel and love the variety in your choices! Your positive energy is amazing! Love it! I have WIPS as old as 2009, so if any of yours peak at 15 years of age just know you’re in good company 😉😁

[@KathysQuiltsandStitching]

Love the 4 seasons ladies! Looking forward to part 2!

[@pattersonjenn75]

I also have a Charles Wysocki!!! I just bought it from eBay - it’s called Macintosh Mill. I can’t wait to dig into it and update some of the thread choices. I was so excited to see you have one also 😊

[@thismrsfisher_stitches]

Love love love this video! I could watch for days, your energy exudes from the screen. We have some of the same WIPs. I'm also a starter of sales but not so much a completer 😂

[@cotterillfamily7355]

Never apologise for being unashamedly you - rambling is good! I love a nice long video while I stitch, off to part 2~ take care, Nic x. PS have added half a dozen things to my 123 Wishlist in part 1 so no hope for my debit card in part 2….

[@lindaskinner5887]

Happy 2024. Wishing wonderful health and prosperity. Thanks for sharing your WIPs.

[@stitchinginhighheels9529]

I travel to Omaha a few times a year for work; I really need to work out a time to stop at Reflections. I hear good things from several people! I enjoyed your thoughts on your WIPs and not abandoning them. I have pieces that I started somewhere around 2004; I haven't worked on them in a few years, and when I prepped for my WIP parade I thought about why I haven't worked on them and added them to my WIPGO board. I think once I get started with them again I'll be more motivated to work on them regularly. I've UFO'd two projects in the past, and I knew it was time to let them go because I felt a huge sense of relief when I made the decision. Mostly, though, I love all of the pieces that I've started, whether they've been worked on recently or not. 🪡👠

[@joanneseeger5271]

Thank you for sharing, don't care how long, all your projects are inspiring!

[@karenolson2532]

Watching you as the snow is falling. So thought I stitch on santas house. Love all your projects 🎉

[@UntilWeStitchAgain]

It's always a treat when I see your videos pop up! Lots of lovely stitching and can't wait for part 2! I have started many a project because of you haha

[@lariluu7048]

Cool part one...

[@OrinthiaHeritage]

You are absolutely wonderful. A joy to watch. Thank you for transmitting some of your enthusiasm to me. Once again, you are a joy to watch xxx

[@lorieden9774]

I have By The Bay also. I'm not daring enough to try 40 ct yet. I still struggle sometimes with 32 ct. Moving on to Part 2. Thanks for sharing.

[@CaseyL19]

You are such a ray of sunshine and delight I am still watching and knitting because I can’t concentrate on my stitching. I am trying to teach myself to crossstitch and it’s so hard to learn. I have finished three things and you inspire me to try more. Thanks for sharing your passion

[@heidishafer1390]

You've introduced me to so many new charts! I adore Durene Jone's designs and I had no idea there was a Fantasy SAL a few years ago. I went searching (because I am totally a fantasy girl) and now I own the pdf for that design. :)

[@loriholmes8705]

Awesome WIP parade Laura! I really enjoy your variety of projects. You’ve inspired me to consider starting a couple of designs like The Visitor. Now on to Part 2. Happy stitching!

[@gerim88]

Your WIPS are all so lovely, I’m excited to head on over to part 2 of the parade ❤

[@susanlamatrice6938]

Have you done a video on how you do your soft finishes? I’m interested in doing a couple wall hangings!

[@LaladeeStitches]

I am planning on making one sometime soon, I have a stand for my camera now that should make filming possible. :)

[@susanlamatrice6938]

@@LaladeeStitches awesome! I’ll be interested to see how you do it. I’d like to get a mini quilt hanger and use it for seasonal cross stitch finishes.

[@SNNGS]

Love your choices! Love your changes to them! Love your ‘rambles’. You’re delightful part of flosstube! Love that you do SAL’s, but you don’t get involved with all the ‘hoopla’ of pushing patterns or pushing retreats (for those of us that don’t go to reatreats) you stitch them simply because you love the patterns. Look forward to your videos!

[@Lemonadestitching]

Megan from GeorgiaGirlStitching is also doing some rearranging on her Shores of Hawk Run Hollow, you should check her out if you haven’t already!

[@nicolec2523]

Blackberry Rabbit is a former name of Fox and Rabbit - Karen and Brendan in Australia. A husband and wife team - he dyes fabrics and she designs and they reproduce samplers. They have a flosstube - very enjoyable. They both stitch.

[@xstitchinglibrarian]

Yay, thank you for this awesome wip parade. I can't wait for part 2. I'm so inspired.❤ I hope that you are doing well and that you have a fantastic stitching year!

[@RhubarbPatchStudio]

Thanks for the epic WIP parade! I am stitching on Arc of White while we visit today. Have you tried Migrelief? It’s a vitamin supplement specifically formulated for migraine sufferers, and often providers will suggest it for children before turning to pharmaceuticals. It takes 60 days for it to have an effect. It was life changing for me, so now I tell anyone I meet who says they have migraines. Happy new year and happy stitching! -Leah Noel

[@deborahwalton9689]

You make me so happy, and I smile and laugh through your entire videos!! I can't wait for part 2. This year I'm thinking of starting one of the Hawk Runs, it's just which one cuz I love them all. They are just a bit intimidating. 😊❤❤

[@MsLaurajudd]

The Pinkoi is an app that has the little room in the attic designer. I searched her down a while ago after one of your flosstube videos.

I love that Wysocki kit! I have so many of his puzzles… but how can I do them when I need to stitch, stitch, stitch?! 😊

[@isweariamstitching]

🤩😍🤩

[@tinaghorley6577]

Love your wips!!!! Is that a bigfoot cross stitch behind you on the wall??? If so, what chart???? My 11 year old son spotted it and loves bigfoot. Love all your videos and ramblings!!!!!

[@LaladeeStitches]

I don't have a pattern for that guy... sorry... he was a gift.
