Hi Kimberly and everyone at Fat Quarter Shop! Love all your Flosstubes and everything you do for the community!! Thank you for being there every single week and bringing new things and new ways to inspire creativity and happiness! Can’t wait for Wednesday!!

[@lisaanderson6602]

As always Kimberly, you + the team at Fat Quarter Shop are fabulous ❣🥰

[@janadachingwa9234]

Wonderful video and can not wait to do the snowman with wheel barrow full of snowballs. Stay safe in all your travels. Walk in Peace.

[@janicekramer4685]

Always such a delightful part of my Wednesday mornings!! Thank you Kimberly for being so generous in all of the information you provide, not to mention your tutorials, which are amazing!! I have been a cross stitcher for decades but you and your team have taught me to be a quilter! Just purchased Lori's Kaleidoscope book (and received it - love it) and will do the cross stitch and some matching pillows. The possibilities are just endless! Enjoy your time off with your lovely family!

[@barbaraclepper1926]

Love this Snowman with wheelbarrow full of Snowballs! Different colors of buttons is so Cute! Cannot wait to start stitching this!

[@barbaraclepper1926]

Your stitching is Beautiful, Kimberly!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Thanks for your awesome video Kimberly…wishing you joy and happy stitching ❤️❤️

[@melaniecall]

Love Snowballs for Sale! I’m really enjoying the new floss tube format 💗

[@paulabeeman4370]

Oh! I’m a stationary addict! So cute!

[@elizabethconley9956]

I love getting the Stitch Quarterly. Thank you.

[@annemousseau8757]

The information you give is always helpful. Thank you

[@deborahcrottylikerottie7684]

I have always used 2 strands on 18 count. I think yours looks great Kimberly! Love all the projects today.

[@cathylloyd9225]

Thank you so much for listening to your customers! I hadn't said anything but I had a hard time seeing the chart on Flea Market Flowers. I stitch a lot and I'm okay but in the future that would be awesome!! Thanks so much!! 🌻

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Hi Kimberly, I did it, I ordered a bunch of Stitchy Cards & hopefully everything I need to stitch.. I am most likely going to be slow because of my arthritic fingers. Have a good rest of the week & weekend. 💖🥰💖 Hope your cold goes away. 💖 Chris-Raleigh NC

[@margaretbaker623]

Thank you! Enjoy your travels 🙂

[@nandyh.4874]

On Snowballs for Sale....How about a Navy blue for the cloth!? It would really pop then!

[@happyfacefries]

I might steal that idea... 😅

[@darlenewener6520]

I think I would stitch the snowman on the white snow aqua aida and not stitch the snowflakes. I would make a few color changes as well.

[@happyfacefries]

Omg, I would SOOO get those plaid bags if they were bigger like the large in the Gingham on the Go or the red one Lori did. I know that the majority of people use the medium size, but I'm really sad there are a lot more. I use an 11x11 Qsnap, I don't feel like it's too out of the ordinary, but I guess it's like me trying to find a shirt my size in the store. It would just be nice because they are cute and it's so expensive to buy one on Etsy

[@tammybunge5615]

Was there a link for your storage container? I love love Fall and Christmas. Maybe next year you can have a month devoted to Fall stitching 🥰

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Tammy! There was but unfortunately it sold out.

[@bonnietucker6811]

I love lori’s patterns but in color with the small font I can’t read her patterns. I purchased several thinking the first was was a mistake. Now I’m stuck with patterns I can’t read.

[@nanrussell6423]

I had trouble seeing the symbol inside the colored squares on Flea Market Flowers, so I used a magnifying glass. You could also try enlarging the patterns at a copy shop. Lots of stitchers make working copies. But don't share with anyone!

[@colleenfrancis5899]

Maybe take a picture on your tablet and then pinch and zoom so you can read it.

[@happyfacefries]

I'd definitely take it to a copy shop or somewhere like Office Depot. They can make it bigger for pretty cheap. 😊

[@michellerocha7609]

Love your videos!! I’m sure I’ve missed it, but where is Lilly? I thought she might be a vacation, but I haven’t seen her in awhile…..

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Michelle! Lilly is working for a new company

[@AllisonNorris13]

Awesome- I was just about to ask will the Tide pen work on my fabric stained from oversyed floss bleed lol

[@eugeneandcarriebartoszek1244]

I think you wrote your thread colors down in a different order then you showed in the video

[@northernlassie2755]

Yes she did :)

[@northernlassie2755]

DMC 930 was outside.....347 was center

[@gkhutchinson1284]

Scrappy project planner; when will this be back in? Looking forward to organizing

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello GK! You'll have to stay tuned!

[@erincallahan7955]

Any suggestions/tutorials about keeping things in the same color family?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Erin! Kimberly uses the DMC color card which groups the colors together for you: www.fatquartershop.com/dmc-embroidery-thread-color-card

[@patriciafarrell424]

Will the finished picture be much bigger on the 14 count and the 10 count?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Patricia! Yes, patterns stitched on 14 count and 10 count tend to be larger.

[@cynthiacook1985]

I'm so excited to get started working on Starlit Snowflake in pink by it's so Emma pattern.

[@stacy0304]

Love your videos! Where did you get the bookshelves that are decorated in the background of your videos?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Stacy! Here is a link to the Jaxon 68 Inch Bookcase: www.livingspaces.com/pdp-jaxon-68-inch-bookcase-100022

[@stacy0304]

@@FatQuarterShopFlossTube Thank you so much!

[@helenhollinger1335]

I would like to learn cross stitch. Which would be the easiest project to start with.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Helen! We recommend starting with Lori Holt’s Stitch Cards: www.fatquartershop.com/stitch-cards

[@jerananelms1760]

Do you think you would ever consider doing a Long Dog chart sitich along????

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Jerana! We do not plan to have any stitch alongs with their patterns.

[@AimeeGomberg]

Where can I find the blue project bag?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Aimee! You can find it at Dot Dot Goose Designs on Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/DotDotGooseDesign

[@nandyh.4874]

What happened to Lilly????

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Nandy! Lilly started working for a new company a few months ago.

[@melissaj8384]

I want to stitch the Shine On Sampler but I don't want to make the quilt so I'd be paying a lot of money for just the pattern. I really wish you'd release the pattern on it's own - maybe a pdf a year later? Or talk to designers about doing them separately.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Melissa! We appreciate your feedback. The designers for that book are not planning to release the cross stitch pattern separately.

[@debbiecarolla7511]

Do u ever use stretcher bars for your cross stitch?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Debbie! Kimberly does not use stretcher bars for her cross stitch.

[@mdeutsch3404]

When does lori’s snowman pattern come out? So cute!

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

It will be available on Monday. You can sign up to be notified here: www.fatquartershop.com/snowballs-for-sale-cross-stitch-pattern

[@lives4stitching-jenniferl540]

How do you keep track of time spent on a project? Do you use a timer? Oftentimes I pick up and put down my project which makes tracking a little difficult.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Jennifer! Kimberly uses an app called Time Tracker on her phone and writes it in her cross stitch journal: www.fatquartershop.com/the-cross-stitch-journal

[@jaynebromley]

What brand of Aida do you recommend?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Jayne! We recommend Wichelt or Zweigart: www.fatquartershop.com/cross-stitch/cross-stitch-cloth?notion_manufacturer=7495 www.fatquartershop.com/cross-stitch/cross-stitch-cloth?notion_manufacturer=7335

[@disorderlystitcher]

DMC used to have a cotton matt finish floss. Do they still make it? thanks

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Nancy! They have them available here: www.dmc.com/us/matte-cotton-100-colors-available-9002812.html

[@mariaelenablecha5358]

So is the lugana bigger holes than the amber?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Maria! The Amber fabric will have larger holes because it has fewer holes per inch.

[@disorderlystitcher]

Do you have to buy the Monthly Markings patterns separately or are the in one pattern?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Nancy! You can buy them as a set: www.fatquartershop.com/monthly-markings-cross-stitch-pattern-set

[@sheriperdue8103]

What were the reading glasses? Who carries them

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Sheri! We carry them here: www.fatquartershop.com/nsearch/?q=bee+in+my+bonnet+glasses

[@denansundance]

I like to stitch on 10 count when I use cosmo or dmc or classic color work and I use 4 strands, if the pattern says to stitch on 14 count and 2 strands will I need more than the floss then it says on the pattern? Hope that makes sense.

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Dena! Yes, you will need more floss on the colors that are used the most. If it’s just a couple of stitches, you’ll be fine, but if it’s used throughout like the border, you’ll need two skeins.

[@denansundance]

@@FatQuarterShopFlossTube thank you sew much for getting back with me. You guys are the best.

[@DonnaPainter]

Do you get a project bag with all the stitch quarterly kits?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Donna! Yes, the kits come with a project bag: www.fatquartershop.com/stitch-quarterly-cross-stitch-subscription-june-2021

[@DonnaPainter]

I recieved my first one a couple of days ago and I love it thank you

[@cynthiagriggs4314]

Where is Lilly?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Cynthia! Lilly no longer works at FQS.

[@jerindaarriola296]

When a pattern lists two color numbers of DMC for an alternate for fancy floss, does that mean to use one strand of each?

[@jacquelineboyd1269]

Sometimes I use one of each. Sometimes I choose one....if I'm stitching on 36. But you can choose what you like

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Jerinda! If the pattern say "or" you can pick one color, if it says "and" between the two DMC colors you would use one strand of each.

[@melissaalexander5192]

If I sign up for stitch quarterly today will I receive my first one for the month of June??

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Melissa! You will have to purchase the June Stitch Quarterly separately - we still have kits available though! www.fatquartershop.com/stitch-quarterly-cross-stitch-subscription-june-2021

[@kathyhaymaker840]

Are the patterns for Priscilla’s July pics going to be available all at once so we only pay shipping once??

[@nanrussell6423]

The most of the patterns are pdf's, so no postage needed at Fat Quarter Shop or Stitching with the Housewives etsy shop.

[@BexfromTexas]

I missed the live, which is rare. I was excited to say I ordered the full set of Farmhouse Christmas last evening! I know you said to do it in one piece you need 19 × 19 piece of aida. I have a piece that's 18 × 18. Would that work?? Thanks:)

[@jacquelineboyd1269]

It depends on 14 count 16 count 18 count what count is your fabric? Let me know and I will help you

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Bex! If you're stitching on 16 count Aida that size would work.

[@patriciafarrell424]

I love Lori's cross stitch patterns, but my hands and eyes can't handle the small cloths. I love her 10 count cloths - they are so much more comfortable for me. The problem is that the patterns like this one will be SOOOOOOOO Big on the 10 count. Any suggestions?

[@happyfacefries]

Maybe the 25 count? If you stitched over 2, it would be the equivalent of 12 1/2 count

[@estherh.1508]

What’s the dmc brown color number you switch too?

[@FatQuarterShopFlossTube]

Hello Esther! Are you asking about the video from the previous week? If so, Kimberly did not switch her Peppermint Lane to a brown she was just showing suggestions for people that want to use brown.

[@estherh.1508]

@@FatQuarterShopFlossTube no for the snowball xx stitch…she said she was going with a darker brown
