[@jackielynch5970]

Loved all your finishes. I hardly have any finishes, mostly in progress. 1.2,3,4 thank you.

[@judemack8604]

You have encouraged (?) motivated me to get on the ball and FFO the three finished kits that I have sitting in my basket. I get so many good ideas and hints from you. Don't worry about your son a teenaged boy will never starve he will eat when he gets hungry enough. 1 2 3 .

[@empm1330]

Helen your FFO's are amazing and beautiful. I love your WIP's. They all are looking great. Helen you do such beautiful work and such an inspiration to me. I truly enjoy watching your channel. I'm sure your son is having a wonderful time on his trip and will be looking forward to coming home. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Pat

[@carolfawcett1297]

Great finishes Helen! Your work in finishing is always very lovely! I know you will enjoy having all of the FFO’s to display!

[@jdshoul]

It’s such a great feeling getting your stitching pieces FFO’d. Yours are all so pretty. Love them all. I always enjoy your videos. I’m sure you miss your son and will hug him so tightly when he returns. That’s what we moms do. 😂 have a great week…..Debbie

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Another fun video of all your beautiful stitching and finishing. Congratulations to the winners,, 1, 3, 2 have fun at the dinner theater. We will miss you.

[@elaineedwards9816]

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you Sally!

[@carolwilhelm2369]

I always enjoy watching your flosstubes and seeing all of your wonderful projects. I also have enjoyed stitching several of your freebie charts and fitting them in with other stitches in decorating. After watching this flosstube, I resurrected the infamous "projects to be FFOd box" and pulled several summer/patriotic ones to finally fully finish. Thank you for the inspiration. 1 2 3

[@helend.flosstube]

It's so easy to let them build up, isn't it? 😂

[@tonnypaulissen7818]

A lot of great FFO’s. Love them☘️☘️

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

All of your finishes are so beautiful, Helen, and you've gotten so much accomplished. I'm sure looking forward to seeing your soft finishes if you have time before your son gets back. When my kids were young like that, every time they went away to camp or wherever, they seemed so much more grown up when they returned. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week. 1, 2, 3

[@helend.flosstube]

He's growing up too fast already!

[@valeriabauer2738]

Helen, I love all your projects. Thanking for charging and you are a great teacher

Thank you Carlene!

[@JennyFleming]

BROWN STAIRS!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. And good thing you son IS eating on his trip! The corner tool is GENIUS!

[@helend.flosstube]

I'm sure he's sick of trying new things at this point! 😂 They're on the bus heading home now!

[@debneal4996]

I love your finishes! They are all beautiful. You are an inspiration! I have a huge stack of stitching that needs to be fully finished. I plan to get started on some finishes for an upcoming retreat this weekend. 1, 3, 4 Happy Stitching! ❤️🪡

[@cathynanz9637]

Your energy is inspiring! I am 74 and recently reconnected with my love of stitching. I am being selective in projects. Have always wanted to have a Christmas tree with hand stitched ornaments. With this in mind pulled out P. Buckley Moss ornaments I purchased years ago, 2 Williamsburg ornaments, and 12 days of Christmas by Cottage Garden Samplings. My preferred fabric is linen. Once they are all in progress will finish a bell pull I started many years ago. I also finished a sampler from many years ago with a Bible verse about entertaining strangers. I continue to enjoy seeing your progress and feel that you are a long distance friend!

[@helend.flosstube]

What a treasure trove to have some of those older patterns! I'm so glad to hear that your love of stitching has returned!

[@margaretkrueger9664]

Love all your FFO. I bet it feels good to have completed 13 and now you can display them. What a trip of a lifetime for your son! Santa's 1,2,3 could be just what I need! Have a wonderful date night with your hubby at the movies. See you next time.

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you Margaret!

All I can say is WOW!!! Everything looks great. You are really an amazing finisher. Hope your son is having a wonderful time. I bet he has lots of stories to tell. That will be fun for you to hear them all.😁

[@helend.flosstube]

He's on his way home and had a great time!

[@sandyrackow21]

[@michelleellie9780]

Your finishes are fabulous!! I haven’t stitched any of the tiny towns yet because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to finished them on. I may have to go get myself a basket! I hope your son had a great time on his trip. I know you’ll be so glad to have him back home! What an amazing opportunity for him. Oh and your flamingo chart is so stinkin cute! Have a great week! 1 3 4

I love how you finished the ornaments! You were on a roll! 1, 2, 3, 4

[@ellenmatoba1078]

I enjoyed seeing your FFOs. That’s what I also need to do with my finishes so I can display them in the wooden dough bowl I recently bought. I’ve stitched 8 Prairie Schooler Santas so far and would like to stitch a few more. 1, 2, 3

[@helend.flosstube]

Lucky you to find a dough bowl!

[@stitchingontherock]

Hi Helen, great stitching. Love your flamingo, and I can't wait to stitch it. Can't imagine letting my son go off on a trip like that without me, but then to go anywhere from here, you need a plane. Your finishes are amazing. Getting 14 done is amazing. 1 2 3 4

[@helend.flosstube]

I don't know if I could have done it if it involved planes! 😂

[@annettecrnkovich6690]

I love your finished pieces!!! That crow and moon fantastic!! Thank you for sharing.

[@zzfreddy]

I love watching your flood tube videos, your work is always so beautiful. I’m originally from New Brunswick so I know Maine well. Thank you for sharing all your lovely cross stitch pieces.

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you Louine!

[@kathyharris7158]

It was great to see all your finishes. Wonderful and always giving me some great ideas. I loved that crow piece. I think everyone will hope to see that frame again this year. 1,4.

[@jackietrembley9827]

Hi Helen! Wow! Fantastic job on your finishes! The Satsuma designs brought a welcome pop of color to this dreary Sunday! 1, 2, 3, 4

[@twotallstitchers]

So great to see all your FFOs - what a nice way to fill that open time, and lasagna sounds great!

[@patmyers3786]

OMG, I love your flosstubes. You are such an enabler. I saw quite a few things I "Have" to get !!!! Love all of your finishes too. They are awesome. Thanks so very much. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Isn't that always the way with flosstube? 😂

2, 3, 4. Love all your finishes. Great work as always. Thanks for all you do for our community of stitchers. I just bought the 2023 Santa this morning when I stopped at my LNS to pick up some floss.

[@helend.flosstube]

This year's Santa is adorable!

[@cindydrushel3589]

Awesome FFO's. Happy free time stitching! 1, 2, 3, 4.

[@helend.flosstube]

Thank you Donna!

[@kathyadams5294]

1, 2, 3 I love all your finishing, and am feeling inspired to try something similar. I have a box of things to FFO since I started to stitch again in 2020. I think I'd rather stitch than finish, but like I said, feeling inspired. We'll see where that goes.

[@micheledielman3120]

Beautiful finishes! My favorite things to stitch are Christmas patterns 1, 3, 4

[@pamritch4965]

What wonderful finishes! Everything looked neat and measured carefully. I also love your Satsuma WIPS. I love the bright colors and the placement of objects in her work.

[@helend.flosstube]

I love everything that Satsuma Street puts out!

[@RhubarbPatchStudio]

Wow, you are so talented Helen! Love your finished items. Your son and I share a hatred of previews at the theater, but I hate them for the spoilers… I literally close my eyes, plug my ears, and hum to avoid watching or hearing them. My hubby taps my leg when they’re over so I know when the movie starts. 😁 Thanks for keeping me company while I stitched on Pavane and tried to ignore the snow falling outside. Happy stitching!

[@helend.flosstube]

I can't believe you're still getting snow!

[@helend.flosstube]

Fingers crossed!

[@kimkincaid5257]

Hoo boy! I remember those days of sending off the kids on field trips. I worried so much about sending my oldest son out to New Mexico to the huge Boy Scout Camp out there. Luckily, he was very good about updating me on where he was on the bus trip. I think it helped that older boys were along for the ride to help keep him focused (he was a bit of an airhead back then). Just a part of helping them spread their wings into the wide, wide world.

[@helend.flosstube]

This has definitely been a great experience for him!
