[@pampeterson3092]

I love seeing what beautiful project you are stitching. Deb, your montage is gorgeous.

[@maerenepyles5675]

After seeing you tell us earlier that your house was in Country Samplers Magazine I couldn’t wait to get a magazine. You have a beautiful home.

[@kathycrouch2291]

Thanks, Deb and Liz!

[@GrannyS217]

Happy to watch you tonight- congrats on the Country Sampler ! I am on the hunt for it! 💕🪡💕

[@JanStevens-os4tv]

I have found you girls a few weeks ago and now get nothing done.. Love you both and have been sticking for years. You give me so many new ideas.. jan from St. Louis Missouri. Crazy for your homes and all you do.. thank you.

[@lorrainebergstrom9391]

It's so nice to see you both today and I very much enjoyed your video. Deb, your Montage is looking so beautiful. Liz, I bought some Nurge hoops from 123 Stitch and really love them as they're a nice option other than a qsnap, but still love the qsnaps as well. Thank you so much for another wonderful video.

[@inesmaria652]

Deb your montage is amazing. I have missed you. 😊 Great video, as always.

[@lindameyerkord7590]

Thank you for your videos. You are so delightful. I could listen to you all day.

[@crazyboutknitting]

Liz, I had a Rottweiler that LOVED to destroy toys ESPECIALLY, ones with squeaky things in them. One time she squeaked the toy for about 20 minutes before I told her enough. She squeaked it one more time. She actually would destroy kongs especially if they had a squeaky in it or had feet or those devil ears. We had to get the ones that were totally molded & no squeaky in it for her. She was a beauty.

[@cherylbenish3274]

Your montage is just beautiful Deb. Thx so much for showing your progress. Another great video ladies. Happy stitching to you.

[@jeanmanna9471]

Love how you are doing the Sassy Jack sampler!

[@peggyyoung1839]

Nurge hoops are my new favorite, although I still love my Morgan hoops. Great stitching gals!

[@teresarickets4770]

Happy belated birthday Liz

[@berthaluna2651]

OMG! your montage is impressing. Thank you for sharing your progress.

[@charlotteburkhardt4903]

Just love your videos, th,Ann’s ladies for sharing your craftiness.

[@gleehanson4775]

Enjoyed seeing you girls!

[@scottydog6539]

Thank you both

[@kareninohio1346]

I have never heard of the Raggedy Ann fear. Glad you told the story as I have several from when I was growing up. I will keep this in mind if I pull them for a display. Thanks for the updates and inspiration. Thanks for the pointers. The Nurge hoop is my favorite. I have several sizes.

[@pamelabunclark7455]

Oh my. That montage is stunning. Thank you for sharing.

[@janadachingwa9234]

Just love your videos and love how you talk to each other. Deb your piece of Art work you are working on is just beautiful. Everyone take care and stay safe.

[@patchy_pony_stitcher]

Started my kaleidoscope today

[@debraruffing]

It is so good to see you both!

[@Norie8311]

Love your craft room!

[@susanspratling]

Thank you so much ladies love watching your videos!

[@scottydog6539]

Love your Scottish Sampler Deb. Love all your stitching. Liz your work is always beautiful also. So nice to watch your videos.

[@isabellegt9826]

Farsi is Persian language. Also mouliné with e and the accent means the way the cotton is twisted. Moulin with the e is a Mill Always beautiful work as usual. Your montage is amazing and so meaningful. It will be great as a tapisserie mounted on a wall.

[@debbiecarter1198]

Great video like always. Deb, Jean Farish has a tip for floss that's all zig zag or curly. She takes a small plastic container that you could put salad dressing in; mine is a 4oz container, she cuts a sponge to fit in the container. You get the sponge wet but not dripping wet and put in the container. She then will drag the floss across the sponge to take out the kinks. The floss dries super quick and it doesn't knot as bad. I love using this tip for my floss even when I use floss drops because the floss gets curly when you take one strand out. I hope that makes sense, I'm not very good at explaining stuff. I have some Nurge hoops and I got mine from Amazon, love them. I love your gadgets and tips Liz, and I'm always looking forward to hearing what you find.

[@kathierichards3531]

My daughter says our dogs are just getting the kidneys and the liver out when they tear up their toys - a little yucky but funny! hugs

[@debglastetter851]

OMG Deb, you montage is stunning, beautiful, gorgeous, magnificent and I could go on and on. Deb, have you ever thought about designing patterns? Liz, I use the Nurge hoops and love them. I bought mine at the Fat Quarter shop. Great video ladies and Happy Stitching.

[@jylromain6439]

I had what I thought was a beautiful oil on black velvet painting of Tweety-pie, the cute yellow bird that drove the cat nuts. My boys about 5 and 7 at the time, were terrified of it. I couldn't hang it anywhere. I've never had a dog that enjoyed the water, but my MinPin is beyond terrified. I think something must have happened to her before I adopted her. I love Nurge products. I have a wooden lap stand by Nurge. Without it I wouldn't be X-stitching due to an overuse injury to my left wrist. Yes, you can do too much X-stitching. 😢

[@christinesouthard2350]

Thank you for your video. Always such a wonderful visit. It's been hot here on Chicagoland. Take care and happy stitching!

[@laurazuniga184]

Beautiful video as always.

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

I use bobbins for my floss. If I run a damp paper towel over the floss, the creases disappear. The nurge hoops seem to be popular. It sounds like the work like the Morgan hoops.

[@anneehlers1151]

In UK we don't have many if any brick and mortar needlework shops so when a craft show was on near me I went to it, it was mostly card making but the first thing I saw as I walked into the venue was the Nurge frame . Very reasonable price so I bought one. It's great and really holds the fabric taught. I envy you the shops you have for needlecraft. We have Hobbycraft but it is very limited just DMC and Aida. I enjoy your videos very much ,Thank you . Anne

[@cathyshannon1704]

I purchased a couple of the Nurge hoops from Colorado Stitcher Shop. I have the green #3 and blue #2. The blue is a nice in hand size. The green is larger, and I may try it with a stand. I do like them for holding the fabric tight. I do not leave my fabric in the hoop overnight because of the fold marks on the fabric.

[@CountTwiceStitchOnce]

Enjoyed the visit! 💜

[@susanspratling]

So funny to hear your doggy water stories

[@heidilehnig3099]

Thanks for sharing ❤❤

[@patibeck7673]

Again inviting you both into my home has brought me joy. Sometimes when feeling little down and your floss tube comes up and lifts my spirit. Thank you

[@karenkemmerling7088]

What a great idea to do a montage. It is awesome!

[@ruthcole4723]

Always enjoy your videos. Belated Happy Birthday Liz 🎉. Deb, your montage is amazing. Always love when you bring us up to date. It will certainly be a family heirloom ❤.

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Happy Belated Birthday Liz, Charlie is so lovable and adorable. Love seeing what you are working on and your progress, thank-you for all the links to the different shops. It is always a pleasure to see what you both are up too. I love the hot weather even the humidity does not bother me.

[@lanachristiansen2782]

Liz and Deb, thank you for another great video. I love seeing what you have been working on . Happy stitching !

[@annemousseau8757]

Glad your back. I can relate to the dog in the water trouble. I love seeing Charley.

[@jarmomcreations2060]

I just love Teresa Layman’s Designs. I have been doing them off and on for 15 years. The designs are fantastic. It is just like coloring, but with thread. It is so relaxing and who doesn’t like to be a Knotty Girl… lol 😂

[@suzielambert2886]

Lovely to see you both back. The montage is looking awesome Deb. Happy Stitching to both of you 🤗

[@e.keesey]

What a great tip about using a needle with a smaller eye for French / Colonial knots. ❤ Oops! Forgot to say thanks for sharing projects and keeping us up-to-date on your big'un.

[@carolanncurrid8246]

Enjoyed stitching with you this evening! Liz, if you don't mind sharing, what tasks is your dog training to help you with? I love watching them work. Years ago I did search and rescue training with my yellow lab. Working dogs of all types are amazing!

[@leslies6008]

Great video! Whereas I have been stitching for a while, I think it’s wonderful that you take the time to explain cross stitch lingo! There are so many stitchers who do not have an LNS so they look to you tube for guidance. You have graciously supplied it! Keep up the good work!

[@LindaStitches]

Yes it is still summer. Until September 20. 😊

[@dianalohman4952]

I just recently found the knot projects too. Thanks for sharing what the printed fabric looks like. I hope to see your progress on this project. I'm the President of Molly Pitcher Stitchers. We look forward to seeing you at some of our events. 😊

[@debraruffing]

What is Molly Pitcher Stitchers? Where do they meet?

[@sharonbeck-hl7cf]

Great seeing you both. Nurge also makes scroll rods.

[@debracadelli6090]

Thanks for the flosstube

[@BSRonly]

I love the story of the Raggedy Ann dolls. When my oldest daughter (who is in her fifties) was three years old, we purchased a Raggedy Andy doll at a bazaar. The Ann doll had already been sold. He has always been Raggedy Pete. This daughter has a few sets of the dolls. A few years ago she made me a giant set of Raggedys which sit in an antique rocking chair in my front room. My granddaughter (who is about to give birth to her first child) just hates those dolls. She insists that they're evil based on some horror movie she saw. When she comes to visit, she'll sometimes throw a blanket or her coat over them. I'd love to buy a cute little set of Raggedys for Baby Santiago, but I'm not that mean. Love your show so much. I keep contemplating a montage to honor my late husband so I love to see the updates on yours. Liz, I always enjoy your "twinness". I'm also a twin. We're both cross stitchers and crafters.

[@clarec6659]

A wonderful visit with you both. Lovely stitching on your montage Deb. Liz some lovely stitching and threads. Blessings and happy stitching.

[@ozarkmtnstitcher]

Deb, I hope you will share how you eventually organize your DMC. I'm sure you will. Will you have a drawer for each color, or several in one drawer, or just the more popular colors, etc...... Thanks for another great video, ladies.

[@lindaschmidt6320]

Do you ladies do railroading ? You ladies do beautiful work.. enjoy your Videos. Happy Stitching. 🪡🧵✂️

[@julieharden158]

Thank you ladies for another wonderful video. All of your stitching is beautiful. I’m glad you had a lovely birthday Liz. I love your crab finish in the tin, it’s very cute. Debs montage is looking amazing and the doggy addition is gorgeous. Enjoy your stitching over the next few weeks. Love and blessings. Xx

[@lisawhittaker5680]

The one caveat on those Nurge hoops is trying to get the crease out , even after a short time. Seen several youtubers complaining about them. Also crushing previous stitching.

[@carolsiegle3254]

Liz, that pink frame is so cool, thinking of buying one. Kim on Fat Quarter Shop showed different hoops one day, had that one.😮. Loved your Montage so very much, Oh!!, pretty, Deb. Always a joy to watch you two ladies and what you have accomplished on your projects. ❤😊

[@maureenlopez9266]

You both always show such lovely needlework projects! Deb, it was so nice to see your montage again. Liz, I like your idea for stitching parts of the Summer Quaker piece by Lila in different ways! Hope you both enjoy your get away with stitching friends. Regarding dogs and water, my sister had a border Collie who absolutely loved the water. She had no fear whatsoever, and we're talking salt water here. When she was my brother's dog, they'd take her for a swim in the Gulf of Mexico when they were stationed in Mississippi, and when my sister adopted the dog later, they'd bring her down to Sandy Hook, NJ where she would enjoy a dip in the bay. They had to keep a careful eye on her, because she was so fearless and would try to swim out too far . So Liz, I don't know if all border collies like water, but this one sure did😊. Deb, I did email you my address a few weeks ago when you did your stitching video and announced my name as the winner of the Elizabeth Potter Clark sampler, but I will email you again in case it didn't get to you the first time. Enjoy the end of summer ladies😊

[@fabienneploiffe7281]

J ai bien aimer Vos toilet de Broderies et les products que vous avez expliquez ce que vous avez fait , merci pour les info.❤

[@valeriesmith6423]

I cannot express the great LOVE for Deb’s montage. It is breathtakingly beautiful and a TON of work! Mind blowing for me! Thank you for showing the Knot work, Liz by Teresa Lehman, I used to do candle wicking back in the day…might give this a try! Also Deb I sooo Love your spread in Country Sampler, your home is amazing and gorgeous. Love this video and enjoy you ladies sooo much. Grateful you are close to me…I live in Mechanicsburg PA and travel to Stitches Unlimited all the time. Thank you both for your influence and inspiration. Love ya! 😊❤️👏👏

[@ShirlHubbs]

I’m new to floss tube watching and your is one of my very favorites. I’m watching your new and old. It looks like your taping in a shop. Do you have a needlework shop? I used to own a cross stitch shop in the 80’s. It was a fun business.

[@dianehall6857]

I love watching your videos! You are both so creative and your personalities blend so well! Deb would you be willing to chart the squirrel that you freehanded? I’ve never found one as cute as yours. Liz I know that you lived in Maine and I live there now. A friend and I are doing the summer Quaker but changing “summer” to “Maine”. I haven’t started but will someday soon I hope.

[@lindahittesdorf6201]

Happy Birthday Liz!😊

[@susanspratling]

It has been over 90 here in Florida for almost 2 months now, but I’m loving it. Have fun on your retreat ladies

[@grmanat]

So love your montage!!! I know so many that love Nurge hoops but they hurt my hand when holding. 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know why I do better with Q snap.

[@ginacates6110]

Happy belated birthday Liz! I love the kitchen addition to your montage Deb! Have a great time at your getaway retreat! Thank you for sharing your love of needlework.

[@jmedstitchgirl90]

Farsi a dialect of Arabic good job Liz ☺️

[@joyceclowser3371]

Wonderful video! You guys have been busy! Love seeing all your works! Have fun at your retreat/girl time! Happy stitching!!❤

[@rose2fame1]

Hi Liz and Deb, I enjoyed watching your video. Happy belated birthday Liz. Farsi is a Persian language. It isn’t Arabic. Arabic is different. Farsi is spoken in Iran ( Persia ) Liz your new dog is adorable.

[@nancyquinones2349]

Your montage inspired me do do one as well !!!

[@brendaalexander8516]

I like making new fall craft quilt items and cross stitch items for my house.

[@trishwells34]

Another great episode ❤ Deb, the montage is beyond amazing! Liz, I also love the Nurge hoops. I get mine on Amazon since I get free shipping 👍 I usually stitch in hand, but when I need a hoop, they are my new favorite.

[@kathleengill-hopple5215]

Hello from Charleston! As always your stitching is inspiring. I am curious about how Deb stores her seasonal home decor in ‘offseason’. I am trying to come up with better organization so it is not a chore to decorate for the season. My favorite is fall and Christmas. Any tips are appreciated! Keep those needles flying!

[@trisheakes9777]

It’s always so fun and informative to watch you ladies. 2 questions, #1 Deb, will you finish your montage or continue as probably more grand children will be born ? It’s so wonderful! #2 Liz, on your pin cushion with the mix of emery and poly fill, how’s that done? Do you make a pouch for the emery, a rookie here, curious minds! Thanks ladies for sharing

[@annsivitter6130]

Here in South Yorkshire, England, the sun has vanished, too. Always look forward to your podcasts. Will watch later when I go back into the house, currently sitting in the greenhouse stitching as the light is much better outdoors.

[@NeedleBugg]

Hi Liz/Deb Just an FYI for you. I have those Nurge hoops all the sizes. the smaller ones are nice. however the larger ones are very difficult to get tight and for me the fabric did not stay tight. as a resul;t have gone back to my trusty hardwich manor hoops. OH Liz, have been meaning to message you. Yes I did get the frame and thank you so much. I had totally forgotten about it and was quite surprised when it showed up . so thank you so much. You both a working on some amazing projects thank you for sharing and taking the time to do these videos. Hugs

[@debbierice1363]

You always furnish good information pertaining to threads and stitching, as well as beautiful stitching. Thanks again.

[@theresazachert4786]

Great to see you two together again. I ordered the summer Quaker book. ❤️

[@tamipugh3377]

Deb your montage is beautiful. Liz I love your finished pin cushion. Liz I found a floor stand by Gus Creations he has a KZbin showing what it looks like. I can sit in my recliner with my feet out and my scroll frame on it. I can easily reach to do all my stitching and see it all clearly. Oh you can also use hoops and stretcher bars. I bought a nurge hoop about a month ago and I love it for my small projects. I have finished one of my three Shepherds Bush Christmas Stockings. I am half done with my second with one more to go. I miss you all when you get videos out.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

The montage looks so lovely, Deb! Love the new kitchen section, especially the beautiful green stove. I may have to do that pattern! Enjoy the cooling days, I can't wait for fall!

[@Sunflowernut2]

I got my Nurge from Amazon but I like supporting local shops, if they carry what I need. Looove the montage!

[@annsivitter6130]

I love my Nurge floor stand too, its light enough to bring outside if I want to as well.

[@susanspratling]

Liz awesome thread information

[@huisuk]

Thank you

[@helgaartale42]

Love the nurge hoop, have already bought 2. Thanks for all the helpful tips in this video 💕🪡

[@judithzarnoth6904]

Wonderful to see you both again. It makes my day when your new Flosstube show up on my screen. Deb, thanks for answering my questions about Quakers and Quilts. Your piece is lovely. But I do have 1 more question. The pattern calls for using all 3 strands of the Valdani on 28 count. Do you remember how many strands you used on your 32 count linen? 3 strands seem so thick but then the coverage on yours is perfect. Thanks again for answering. You are so helpful to us new and returning stitchers.

[@patriciaruppert201]

Just found your channel and I love it. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤
