Floss Tube Stitch Roadies No 17 1st Thursday Acorn & Threads

[@dianacattoni4456]

Anna, I just LOVE your videos and your "realness" . We have ALL been at the beginning of learning a craft, and if we are honest with ourselves, we continue to learn as time goes on, even if we have done said craft for 30 years. Thank you so much for sharing your learning process with us. I have "been there, done that". I also love to sew and my newest journey is to learn quilting. I watch Quilt Roadies and you have inspired me to try that journey. I used to embroider and have decided to also revisit that craft. I am so taken with the coloring of a piece with crayons then embroidering the outline, then putting that piece into a quilt. I know very little about quilting, so my journey will be much like your journey into the cross stitch world, trial and error. Thank you again, and please never change. Wish I lived in Oregon (I am in Pennsylvania) so I could visit The Bee. BTW, I love Michele Bendy's Christmas Tree done as a Charlie Brown tree. I would do it exactly like you have done it. Much love.........

[@stitchroadie4076]

I am so glad you are dipping your toe into quilting...it is a wonderful and varied craft...and I love it! travel along with me on Quilt Roadies and you will be amazed at all the fun things we do!

[@reneebebla422]

First Thursday looks like so much fun! Bonus for Beth being there. Love your Needlework finish and WIP’s. I was taught cross stitch in the 80’s and it was DMC and usually I used 2 threads so I would use loop method for first stitch and then the first part of the X and then go back and cross them. I was also taught that my back should look as good as the front and believe me, my Mom ALWAYS checks my back first, lol. But now with using variegated threads, I cross each stitch for I want to get the variegation to come across on the piece that I am stitching. I think what is most important is that you cross your stitches all the same way but this was again how I was taught. As you develop your stitchy skills, your back will develop too. Just remember to enjoy the process and the learning. I like your Charlie Brown tree.

[@stitchroadie4076]

thank you so much for your encouragement and knowledge...I am loving the journey!

[@rleehudson50]

You made me laugh out loud! I completely understand your stitching technique! I have been in that “no mans” land trying g to find my way!🥴🥴😂😂

[@taustin3794]

Hi Anna, I love all your questions about cross stitch! I usually have the same questions, and await the answers.I’m beginning cross stitch again, I last stitched in the eighties. I love watching your videos floss tubes! Your sense of humor is just cute as can be, and I giggle. You have the best quilt room ever!

[@stitchroadie4076]

I am blessed both in stitching and friendships

[@cherylnewell9806]

I'm so glad you have met Daylee. You both are my absolute favs. I dont have a stitch shop close but this weekend my daughter came from Florida and my other daughter, grand daughter, and daughter in law all did cross stitching together. It was great. Best time ever.

[@stitchroadie4076]

oh how wonderful...that would be a dream day for me...alas neither my sons or DILs stitch although one has expressed a bit of interest.

[@cherylnewell9806]

@@stitchroadie4076 But you do have alot of floss friends, which is great.

[@jeanmansfield1138]

Anna I've found I must take a simple piece to do at similar gatherings and get teased about how little I get done but I love to see what others are stitching and that leads to discussion/chat ..... or else I come home and need to unpick! Yet I've always enjoyed my time with like-minded stitchers so no loss but gained and learned. Win win.

[@stitchroadie4076]

I totally agree...and this being my first I now understand it...I loved the camaraderie and seeing what every one is working on.

[@sueradford6375]

Wow. Acorns and Threads looks absolutely amazing. I would love an LNS like that.

[@sandrabutterbaugh8144]

Congrats to the winner! First Thursday, looks like a wonderful time to learn and enjoy being in community with other stitchers. Love the shop. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week stitching and/or quilting.

[@stitchroadie4076]

Thank you!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Hi Anna, thanks for your wonderful and sometimes hilarious video😜...you were asking about stitching the x at one time...that “rule” is Floss that is of one dye can be stitched as an x or stitching one cross of the the number given on the chart and then come back...the over dyed floss or “fancy floss” should be a complete x before going on to the next x due to the variegation that will give the variation of colors to your piece...hope this helps...have a good trip where ever the roads take you...enjoyed you filming at Acorns and Threads...best wishes in all you do❤️

[@stitchroadie4076]

thank you so much...I am a sponge for all the cross stitch info!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

I have a lot to learn too...enjoy all your information❤️

Love watching your videos, and my husband watched with me today, and at the end he turned to me and said "I just had a glimpse into our future, she reminds me so much of you!" Which I took as such a high compliment, though you are much sweeter than I! Love watching you! 💜

[@stitchroadie4076]

[@scottydog6539]

What a store. Wow. A supermarket for cross stitch and needle punch etc. I would spend a day there. Fun fun fun

[@beverlyjames2850]

The tree is perfect! Makes me smile. ☺️

[@shawner4640]

I used a seam ripper , very carefully, today to take out approx 250 stitches. Not fun but well worth it. I had put the wrong color on the project. Did not double check the symbol. Lesson learned. I know when using the variegated threads you need to take off two strands together from the bunch. Then I pin stitch to start, and do one cross at a time. If you do not, you end up not getting the varied look. When using solid colors I take longer lengths so that I can do the loop start and then I do one stitch at a time. Just my preference for that. Not sure if that made sense. I have been watching alot of tutorials for tips and tricks. It is the only way I can learn as I do not have a group to join in with around here. Not for cross stitching anyway. Thanks for sharing Happy stitching :)

[@stitchroadie4076]

Oh no...how scary! I'd be afraid I would cut the linen?! thank you for your tips!

[@angelvannote1900]

Hi Anna - Thank you for the great video, it is fun to experience First Thursday with you.

[@stitchroadie4076]

stitch days are the best!

[@chrisb5391]

I can't wait to see your next video. When the notification shows up, you're the first one I watch. I wish there was a shop near me where I could stitch. Safe travels.

[@stitchroadie4076]

awww thank you...I feel like I have stitchy friends around every floss...

[@karendavis-macon9658]

Hey Anna, thank you for sharing your Acorns and Threads experience! I WISH ( real hard) that I will one day get to come and STITCH with the group and meet Jeanine!! I always stitch one X at a time and I railroad (I watched Denkai...she taught me)! Have a SAFE and wonderful trip on the road!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY!!

[@stitchroadie4076]

you must make a trip!

[@theresalaboda6415]

I used two pair of glasses for a long time until I found a pair of glasses for stitching. Glad I wasn’t alone lol

you are never alone!

[@pamrosenberry7575]

What a great bunch of stitching group😊l I saw a lots of my flosstube friends-virtual waving.. I belong to a small one also and I've learned so much. Happy stitching.

what would we do without friends holding our hands through new journeys.

[@lindaallinder1751]

I love the tree looking like the Charlie Brown tree. Soooo cute! Anna... if you haven’t tried Punch Needle you must give it a try. I have done the bee one you saw and it’s fun and so fast! Acorn and Threads looks like a shop for the bucket list for sure!! Happy stitching!

[@stitchroadie4076]

can you see my fingers in my ears...no punch needle...I cannot afford the time or money for another art form!!

[@margm4]

I found my stash of crossstitch! 3 wips! So I sorted through but couldn’t sew as my eyesight has gone on me! So, will send hubby to chemist to get stronger. I was 1.5 but think I’ll have to go twice that! It’s been years so had to catch up eventually. I love the scissors pattern, especially on the dark fabric. You’re such fun! Xx🇦🇺

[@stitchroadie4076]

it was so great to meet you...watching your first floss tube I knew we would be floss friends and then how wonderful it was to actually meet you!!

[@cheryl8280]

Portland really is your happy place, isn't it? 😋😋😋🤗 Yes, you're new glasses are big, but think of how much more stitching you'll be able to see!!!! Your Charlie Brown tree is perfect. It DOES need a little filling on the right side of the tree, as you've done on the left side. But I wouldn't add the other colour in the background. It's sweet as it is. Have a great stitch time with the ladies and take care. Hugs!!

[@stitchroadie4076]

it is...my grandkids are here so I love my time here...Yes...I was thinking it needed just a bit more :)

[@sewgrateful15]

Hi Anna, it was a pleasure to meet you in person. I loved seeing your needle fly across your pattern. That Charlie Brown tree makes me smile. Happy Stitching, your friend,Daleen

[@stitchroadie4076]

thank you so much for your kind words and my sew scissor fob...I love it!

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

That looked like a great day!!! The little Charlie Brown tree is perfect!!! Another trip coming up?!? Lucky you!!!!! Hopefully we’ll see you on the road with needle and fabric in hand- cross stitch and quilting!!!!

[@jowahlgren2554]

You make me smile! Have a wonderful day! AND I’m smiling cuz for once I already have the pattern being given away...not stitched yet, but I’ve got it. 😊❤️

[@stitchroadie4076]

but...do you have the special Bee linen to do it on, LOL

[@jowahlgren2554]

Stitch Roadie no I don’t have the linen (haha!) I need to expand my fabric horizons before I use linen...therefore I probably won’t be stitching the beautiful bee for awhile. 😊

[@cindygaudet1390]

I like tree as is. Adorable! Today at our stitching group one of the ladies brought in 4 totes full of patterns. Her friends hubby gave them to her to distribute free as his wife is no longer able to stitch. OMG!! We were all in awe and amazed. What a plethora of patterns I got! And if we ever get our rv and out west and down south (cos as I am in Atlantic in Canada), I will be there!

[@stitchroadie4076]

yeah!!! we meet a lot of Canadians in AZ we can stitch there!

[@tonilawson4281]

You just crack me up..... There are no cross stitch police and you can stitch not whatever way you want... That being said, I choose to complete each stitch one at a time because it's easier to frog one stitch at a time rather than having a frog back a whole row, you'll figure out what works best for you... 🤗🤗

[@stitchroadie4076]

see there is the jest of it...you want to make frogging easy, lol

[@brendaholsman4560]

The first Thursday video was so much fun to watch! I've always heard about Miriam the Librarian but haven't met her. It looks like you two have such a good time together. It was interesting that you mentioned the staff running around helping everyone because thats one thing I noticed when I visited the shop. They really do get you inspired.

[@stitchroadie4076]

Miriam and I go way back to early Quilt Roadies days and so it was great to be inspired by her through cross stitch. Acorns staff are wonderful!

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗 Well Anna, if nothing else you are getting some good laughs out of cross stitching!! I think I liked the double glasses look!

[@stitchroadie4076]

yeah...I might look cuter in the double lenses...at least when I look in the mirror it looks that way...

[@zzzzipy12]

This is a hold-up....give me all your money!!! Oh wait, never mind, you spent it all on linen!!! You crack me up!!! Enjoyed the shop visit!

[@stitchroadie4076]

Oh man...I want to frame that linen all by itself, lol

[@cherylbreedlove6211]

That looked like such a fun day! Thanks for sharing.

[@bn9242]

I agree on keeping the Charlie Brown tree. It looks better than the one that also has the lighter color in it.

[@leoniecochrane3108]

Im so glad you asked what an "ORT" is as I was just typing the question when you got the answer. Always a step ahead thanks. Anna

[@marshacarlsen8115]

When frogging, use a seam ripper rather than cutting with scissors. This will ensure you don’t accidentally cut your linen. Love watching your videos. Hope to meet you sometime at an A&T first Thursday.

[@stitchroadie4076]

thanks!!! I was shaking I was so freaked! adding a seam ripper to my tool kit!

[@RustRibbonsQuilts]

[@sampsontoledo3467]

I wear 2 glasses all the time. I'm gonna ask my optometrist to provide me computer glasses. it works for cross stitch too. If she doesn't I am changing optometrist. Good going G!

[@stitchroadie4076]

I didn't know there was a special glass just for computers....

[@judygibbons5983]

I’m sure someone has already told you, but when using overdyed floss you cross each stitch as you go to get the best variegation. When using DMC stitch half crosses in one direction in a row than cross them on the way back!

[@stitchroadie4076]

yes...but how does everyone know these rules...is there a book or is it passed on stitcher to stitcher???

[@judystone3645]

Hello Anna, have you heard about the fairly new stitch shop in Windsor, CA called Threads Entwined. They have a great little website. I know you have family close to that area and thought you would like to research website. I'm new (again) to stitching and looking for patterns and came across this one.

[@ruthbartholomew8054]

ort noun Usually orts. a scrap or morsel of food left at a meal. Personally, I'm not saving those.... And, since it is the 12th, someone probably suggested to you that if you are stitching with a variegated (hand-dyed) thread you should complete each cross-stitch before going to the next one. Most DMC is not variegated so you can stitch in rows back and forth - up and down. To get the true joy of variegated thread in your project, you have to stitch each one completely before moving on to the next....IMO....

[@stitchroadie4076]

I am learning so much!

[@Imthebeachgirl]

Hi Anna, if you are ever stuck, Dollar Tree sells cheater glasses + 3.25, I just bought 7 pairs for each day of the week. Lol I wear bifocal contacts, but need the cheaters when cross stitching. Take care, Laurie in Tampa Bay, Fl.

[@christycleary216]

Thank you!

[@karenmaloley1750]

If you are using overdyed thread, you should complete each stitch individually. If you don't, you will lose the effect of color variation. If you are using DMC or a thread with no variation, you can speed up by doing one leg of the x in one direction, and then go back in the other direction. I am a stitching baby, but that is one thing I have learned the hard way. Why spend money on fancy thread and not get the benefit of it?

[@stitchroadie4076]

ahhh you have spoken it clear and truthfully...I get it...going to clean up my act!

[@sandih.5798]

Love your Charlie Brown tree I spotted another one during your hair of the tea ball. I’d be tempted not to fill it in. I thought it was a different shape than what I saw on the video unless she has more to stitch. What is that headless tin man thing in your little sewing bag on the table in your Portland abode? I’d love to see what else you have sitting on that table is there an old measuring tape there also? Some interesting projects being stitched at that table. Love that pins and orts project, very practical.
