Kimberly’s Cross Stitch Organization and Storage Series | Part 1 | Fat Quarter Shop Flosstube

[@lisariva9432]

Just came upon this video while looking for tips to organize my craft supplies. Piggy is a gem - I also have a pug and he is absolutely essential to the crafting process!!

[@jsalyersarts]

Pugs are so adorable! I have a Pyrenees/Redbone mix who occasionally eats my crafting process. Or slobbers on it. Or hides it from me. *sigh* If he wasn't so gosh-darned cute, I'd get a lot more done.

[@laurieboldis1537]

I love both you and Piggy! Thank you so much. So inspiring!❤️

[@khayes9591]

LOL! "I know that's a lot of floss, but I have more" Love it.

[@francesreis5086]

What I love the most is that you have surrounded yourself with what you love and what makes you happy. I don’t know why, but I tend to try to justify what makes me happy as if there needs to be a “ reason” for it to be there. I’m going to follow your example and just enjoy what brings me joy! Thank you!

[@Sheryle871]

Hello, I’m so thankful theses videos are available so I ca trewatch over and over. Have a blessed week

[@valerie-stitchinginthebarn723]

Ok -not only is this my FAVORITE type of video (shall we say I’m a little challenged in the organizing department!) but when Piggy joined the party I hit the jackpot! So pleased you will be doing more of these videos and showing us how other designers etc organize their supplies. Can’t wait for those and for more quilt/fabric organizing too - I know you’ve done those before, but I can’t get enough of them! ❤️😀

[@rosalindkennedy4624]

I don’t usually watch all KZbin channels all the way through, but I really got intrigued by this one. It was totally enjoyable and I had quite a laugh in the good sense. It was informative and the amount of floss, threads and buttons, brilliant. I’ve got this down as one my partner is going to watch, so he can’t complain. I found you funny in the most adorable way and your set up and organisation absolutely fun. For anyone wanting to hoard, you should go around and show them how to do it properly. I will certainly be following your example and nice to know I’m not the only mother who empties her buttons and tells them to sort them out. So many advise to put threads in numerical order but I just want colour order, and seeing yours, I’m going to follow my heart. Thank you for inviting us to your home, it was a lovely visit ❤

[@lynneschultz316]

I am blown away. How kind of you to open your home to us. You are a treasure!🧵🌷✂️

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Button, button, whose got the button! I’m thinking it’s Kimberly! LOL! You are a collector for sure, but I love it all. Your room is gorgeous and it would be a delight to work in there. Also love your thread wall. It is unique and so colorful. Thank you for sharing what works for you. And, I’ll be sure and visit you if I ever need a button. Thanks Kimberly, this was a fun tour and very informative. Some tips could actually work in my very tiny space.

[@melissaj8384]

Piggy! And you are a little button obsessed - I LOVE it! Thanks for the tour!

[@kimmiller488]

Well, we now know the answer to the question, “Button, button, who’s got the button?” Kimberly does!😁. Thank you Kimberly for showing us your storage solutions and your home. You’ve given me many ideas! It was sweet to see Piggy too!

[@sineadazdoud7729]

So neat and tidy , love the variety. Wish there was more stockists of cross stitch and accessories in Ireland 🇮🇪

[@nevadastitcher]

Everything is so very pretty and organized but Piggy stole the show by complying with stitching with you!!! That was priceless! I thought that I was pretty organized but have 50+ WIPS. I retired 3 years ago and have created a stitching and sewing room but it’s not nearly pretty enough! ❤️❤️❤️ Your stitching area is something to strive for!! ✂️🧵🇺🇸

[@michelejames8599]

Piggy looks so comfy-he knows the routine!! Beautiful work and display spaces!

[@kellybeckner8121]

My husband gives me so much crap about all my thread and fabric until I show him Lori's sewing room and now I have your MAGNIFICENT sickening sewing room. I just keep watching this over and over. thank you for the tour. beautiful beautiful home.

[@patandrews6963]

Good tips. I like having that big bucket to store everything you need. No running around the house to gather supplies :)

[@JPSimmers]

I keep saying, “oh, oh,, I have one of those! And one of those, and those…why don’t I have one of those?” I love this video-like visiting with a friend I haven’t met yet.

[@jaynebromley]

Too much thread? Never! Great video Kimberly! It has given me so many ideas. Thanks!

[@janejarvis6725]

Sorry I missed the live. My favorite floss is anchor. The white and black are not course as others and lay very smooth. I’m so enjoying the sail away mystery. You can wash your needle work with adding vinegar to set the color and lukewarm water. I like washing Aida cloth after I’ve finished so the opening(holes) close a bit and makes your design look good.

[@brendakk9362]

This is one of those videos I will watch again and again and again. Not only for the storage ideas but the eye candy!! I love it all!

[@buffler111]

Oh, I know the fun of having dogs that have to sit with you - just bought a double wide deck chair because there's no room in the single one for me AND 3 chihuahuas. LoL. . . I love when Piggy is part of the demonstration!

[@kathrynbarker7967]

Great video Kimberley, you and Piggy are adorable and of course your little supplies dont hurt her, she loves it - like a security blanket. ❤

[@margaretwineland2165]

Each season has advantages. Fall is cooler weather, being able to stitch a little more. In your case Kimberly, I understand all the busyness of life with kids. Love Lori Holts stitch cards.

[@kimberlystrickland4101]

Boy you are organized! I wish I was as organized. I am blessed and have so much stash that it is quite overwhelming. Guess that is a good problem. Happy stitching.

[@Cassieboce]

Enjoyed every minute of your video and I don’t even Cross Stitch.

[@MarciaBaker1205]

I enjoyed your cross stitch video even though I'm not a cross stitcher! I'm a quilter & a member of your KZbin group & the Stitch Squad thanks!

[@pamketron]

Awesome space Kimberly. I love all your threads and buttons. Such a fun space to play in. Your wall of thread is amazing! Best part is your sewing space and Piggy. I know what you mean about a huge chair. Thank you for sharing all these goodies with us. Loved every minute.

[@dfern2793]

You are probably one of the most brilliant, accomplished, and creative persons I have ever "met"! I was amazed and fascinated through the whole video. Your home was absolutely gorgeous. I would ask you to adopt my husband and me, but I'm afraid you'd get physically ill seeing how disorganized I am! Thanks. I look forward to the next one.

[@annelefevre9457]

AMAZING!!! I love it all. I’m 70 and too old to do on such a large scale as you. But I have DMC complete set several times over, but none other. I don’t know how to live my life w/ a computer for ordering things, because it all gives me a headache! Ha! But it was a joy seeing yours. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to do jars but not decorate them. Just like them plain w/ knobbies on top! I love it ALL. Do you have room for children and your husband? I see you made room for piggy.

[@kajalsingh9554]

Love, love, love the beehive shelf and its decorations!!

[@juliebeard6424]

You are such a generous person Kimberly. Your video is truly wonderfully presented, and your home is beyond my imagination when it comes to being so absolutely almost obsessive to making everything beautiful and organised in a kind and caring way. (Please forgive the obsessive mention. I get it!) This is has become important to me and why I want to learn more about you and your hobbies that you love and make! Also, it's so nice to learn how your family fits into your love of what you work at and your hobbies. I think you rock! From my perspective. 💖💖🌺🌺🌺🌺

[@faeriepabich6414]

An inspirational tour full of great ideas, and buttons and thread, too! Thanks for sharing so many great options that we can incorporate. Hugs to Piggy!

[@nellybranda6314]

I really enjoyed your video. I've picked up lots of ideas. Thank you for showing us how you organize your studio and your work. Greetings from Argentina!!!

[@micheleh4016]

That cute little aqua colored tray from Home Goods that you are keeping buttons in is actually a scone pan. LOL It's stoneware, right? Pat out your scone mix into a circle, cut into 8 wedges, place each wedge in it's own section and bake. I have a cream colored one from King Arthur Flour Co. but I am very jealous of your turquoise one!

[@joanntakehara5390]

So glad to meet Piggy! Thanks for sharing your decor and storage ideas

[@das0421]

Piggy is an extra lap desk! Gorgeous set-up!

[@solpdias8449]

Jesus Christ!! I loved it! I wish I would have all this talent to be organized! In other life I hope!

[@kathiep.7734]

Wow! I especially loved your stitching corner!..you sure are organized!

[@hazelaffleck1255]

Loved seeing Piggy!

[@froggalb1000]

Wow! What a beautiful sewing studio and storage area! I love all of your organization! Piggy is adorable! Thanks for sharing.

[@cindyflinchbaugh8292]

Wow Kimberly your creative area is amazing and thank you so much for sharing your home.

[@crossstitchbutton]

Oooo buttons🤩 love your set up looks amazing xx

[@julieharden158]

I really enjoyed looking at your storage Kimberly and watching you stitch with Piggy....he is so cute. I love your floss wall it’s gorgeous. Thanks for sharing xx

[@betsycline5170]

Thank you so much so fun. Your space is beautiful and large.

[@ritasokol646]

Kimberly, you are the BEST! Your videos are pure inspiration and FUN! You inspire my creativity, and now I’m eliminating one of the too many bedrooms and adding my craft room. Just for me! Quilting, needlepoint and cross stitch. I’m so excited. My husband is too ( I’ll be out of the way with all my stuff!). Your organization is outstanding! I can’t wait to get started on “ My Happy Place”! 😃 Thank you for sharing where you purchased some of your storage cabinets, they are lovely! Keep these videos coming, they are terrific!

[@tammielatimer5357]

Loved the video but most of all the finished piece storage. What a wonderful closet. I keep all of my smalls on a big bookcase in our living room. A stitcher once told me those are made to enjoy so I do. But my bigger pieces need a closet like yours. I also like your setup in the bedroom, it’s similar to my setup in my living room. I just don’t always put everything away. Thank you for sharing what you do!

[@hazelaffleck1255]

you are so sweet to take us into your home and happy place. 🤗

[@the614stitcher]

This has gotten my wheels turning on how I can get organized and pretty up my storage. Thanks for sharing. It's so funny how fast a dog can fall asleep and start snoring!

[@monataylor2600]

Piggy is a star! Loved seeing your system, Kimberly! 🐝💕

[@ritasmick5176]

Thank you for opening your home to us. Piggy was the star of the show!!! I love that he was snoring :-)

[@joansergey977]

great video Kim...can't wait to see quilting storage next.

[@jackiefurlow3107]

I didn't think this video would help me with my DMC floss issue (I thought I had toooo much). I though about giving it away because I don't cross stitch anymore. Maybe I'll just store it for decoration. Such great ideas. I don't feel bad anymore for having so much. Thanks

[@barbaracollins-miller3411]

Wow...this was wonderful Kimberly...ty for sharing...I love Piggy and that he doesn't care if you lay things on him... hilarious

[@myrnajones4512]

Oh my goodness what a wonderful craft room . The thread wall is BEAUTIFUL. I understand why you love it. Thanks for all the great ideas and letting us see how you stitch. Piggy is cute. Maybe 10,000. Alot.

[@katywuste9054]

That was hilarious hearing the dog snoring. You must be the most organised woman in the universe and your home is absolutely gorgeous

[@kathleengay7953]

Thank you for taking the time to share with us. Can you talk more about your light

[@jnlfamily2]

I love the music and not so looooong intro. 👍

[@mariellegoos3825]

I am very impressed by your organizational skills. Spreadsheets and cross stitch; awesome combo! Thanks for showing and sharing your home and the way you stitch.

[@annaleemages312]

Thanks so much! Great ideas!Piggy is so cute in the chair with you! 🥰

[@amycharles648]

I laughed so loud when you said that Piggy lays flat and you can put supplies on him, that my husband came downstairs from his office to see what was so funny. Love your organization and totally get the button obsession. I have my own extensive collection. :)

[@suzannemoffitt137]

Absolutely fabulous about storage. Love tge chair you stitch in.

[@DixieGirl9876]

Thanks Kimberly for sharing how you store your threads and your beautiful sewing room! I have buttons displayed(some are my grandmother's) in mason jars with pin cushion tops as well, on top of my storage cabinets along with vintage cookie jars filled with vintage and family sewing notions. Have you see the thread spoon dolls? I have one in my sewing room I made years ago, her body is made with an empty serger spool, she has empty small wooden sewing thread spools for her arms and legs with a few buttons between them, a large wooden ball for her head, that I glued yarn on for her hair and a dress that I made and machine embroidered button along the edge. She sits atop a Singer tin and keeps me company while I sew. My crafting chair is similar, except I usually have one of our two cats joining me. (as a multi-crafter I do many things in the same spot) so, my side table has a basket underneath that holds different projects in their own bags and my light sets behind that hidden when not in use and my lap desk slides between my chair and the table.

[@margaretamiller9679]

What an awesome video, I've gotten a lot of ideas!. And I want your chair and a stitching buddy like Piggy!

[@rmcrms5]

So many pretties! I need to rethink my organization to make it more eye candy than eye sore. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@vickiinkansas1399]

Loved seeing how you organize. My husband bought me a six drawer J&P Coats antique spool cabinet for Christmas. It now houses all of my fancy floss, fabric and stitching accessories. Highlight of the video...Piggy snoring!

[@suehorn4182]

Between you and Lori you have everything organized

[@peggygreen2292]

Love this! It has such wonderful ideas for organization for my cross stitch materials. Question-where can I get those adorable floss flowers?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Peggy! The floss flowers are available here: www.fatquartershop.com/floss-flower-thread-bobbins

[@mlsmith621]

Awesome video. Piggy is so cute. Loved the snoring.

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Organization goals! Pugs make the best stitching buddies... mine has never minded when I put the bag on him either. Thank you for sharing!

[@barbarawallin6162]

I loved seeing your storage. You are the most organized person I know! Piggy is a doll!

[@patandrews6963]

I copied Kimberly and stitched in all the borders on my Flea Market Flowers. Now for some color!!

[@StitchingtoHealMary]

Thank you for sharing part of your life.

[@taniabertuola]

Loved seeing you craft area. I loved all the buttons they make the room so colourful and bright.

[@rebeccaforbes8629]

Fun ideas. Thanks for sharing all your storage secrets. :)

[@kellyann4976]

I love the colorful cabinets and storage containers! Thanks so much for sharing with us. I have some new ideas to start brewing on.

[@sallysuhovy9938]

Thank you Kimberly for sharing your workspace and home. Great ideas and your Piggy would love our Darla pug. Actually my grand dog since nobody gave me any girls all grandsons. Blessed. Great video. ❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Kimberly que bien ordenado y todo a mano que lo tienes todo👍👏😘

[@lauriee348]

I loved seeing Piggy with you! I stitch with my dogs (3) on the chaise lounge!

[@kathyanderson7136]

Fantastic video! Loved how you make everything fit so perfectly and so enjoyed the tour of your beautiful sewing studio. My favorite was at the end when Piggy snuggled into his spot on your stitching chair and immediately took to his nap. Precious!

[@cleohasbrouck3328]

Thanks Kimberly that was a great video!!

[@nancyhelpinstill1834]

Thanks for the tour! Got some great ideas. But I can’t believe you don’t use an iPad for watching movies while stitching! The bigger screen makes such a difference! Love that chair! Piggy makes an excellent side table.

[@BuckeyeCrossStitcher]

Piggy is so cute! What a sweet stitching partner!

[@susanlopiano5620]

Wow what a great helpful video. I'm finally getting to set up my craft/sewing room. You have given great tips. Thank you. I love you chair and your furbaby is adorable. My Phoebe loves to sit next to me also. I really appreciate your tour of your home.

[@marthaabstein6046]

Thank you Kimberly. That was very good showing a variety of ways to store all items and I can pick and chose what will work best for me.

[@Joanwi22]

Everything was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

[@loriginsberg7261]

This was so wonderful!!!! Thank you so much! I have as much fun decorating my sewing room as I do stitching and quilting in my sewing room.

[@jodigrzeczka6617]

This was great and full of fantastic storage ideas! Thank you! I laughed out loud, not because you made sure to have room for your dog in your stitching chair, but the fact that you take advantage of being able to stack stuff on him! That was hilarious! Thank you again. Looking forward to the next video.

[@denisemahoney9373]

Thank you for opening up your home to let up see your work space and storage. It looks soooo nice. I am sure it was a lot of work to film. We enjoy all that you and your staff does. You guys are great.

[@juliexw2002]

Wow such a beautiful craft space. ❤

[@judithclayton6736]

I just loved your video, thanks so much. I can't wait for the next one. Great ideas, you are amazing and so detailed. I dream of being like that someday.

[@sharonparker7867]

This was the best video yet! Everything you do is spectacular and everyone has something we love & purchase. I love your are beautiful buttons and thread. What could be better! Thank you for sharing your home with us. 💙💗💚

[@sewmesarah]

Piggy likes your supplies on his back like a calming weighted blanket for pugs! Thank you for this lovely and informative video. Storage goals😍

[@fabricandflowers83]

So cute you should put a cross-stitch in the middle of the ribbon on the jars

[@ginacates6110]

Thank you for sharing your amazing organization, you have really came up with great ideas! But Piggy really stole the show!!😁

[@leslietrumm3049]

Fabulous stitchy stuff!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@allie1lilly2]

That was really fun to watch. Thank you for showing all of us your sewing. I like how you organize all your things.

[@thoughtsofawindowgirl2112]

Love, love, love it ALL

[@kaylowry4188]

Wow wow wow. I just love it all. Thanks so much for sharing

[@TGBTGAlways]

Enjoyed the video and I love your chair! I stitch in my lazy boy chair but it’s not as wide that was a good idea! 👍🏼💕

[@kaylynbeattie5140]

Thank you for sharing!! This is all very helpful information! I love how Piggy settles in next to Kim and becomes part of the workspace, lol.

[@thegardenstitcher]

Loved seeing your work space Kimberly. So beautiful & functional! Glad Piggy got his cameo ❤
