Thank you.

[@JenniferHumphries-SATX]

Good to see you every week! Thank you for sharing your stitching goodness, words of wisdom & funny stories. I love spending Sunday mornings with you. I’m excited about the next SAL. 🎊❤️🌸🦜

[@heidisnow]

I went through that phase with glasses, too, EJ. Now I wear progressive lenses.

[@marciaclifford7107]

EJ - just think about finding fans and glasses helpful as signs you are evolving. Evolving! Not getting old. Shelia - love the colors and designs on your shirt! Deb - The other two are always funny, but you had hilarity. Thanks and hugs to all three of you for the laughs and inspiration and sewing tips!

[@SunshineStitchers]

Thank you. The shirt was purchased at Icy Strait Point, AK.

[@suebaldwin943]

I just ordered Put a Bird on It. I look forward to the SAL. 😊

[@SunshineStitchers]

Woo hoo! This is going to be fantastic! Thank you for joining.

[@karenmoseley9337]

I just love the three of you! I have had hot flashes for 15 years!.......and counting.....not done at age 74! I may have sinned too much in a former life, it's the only answer as to why this is happening to me. If I can't laugh, I'll go nuts! Stitching and a nearby fan that I work with a remote control (on, off, on, off....)are my life savers. Oh, one more thing, I am lucky enough to be going to my very first retreat in October. It is Stitch New England being held in Rhode Island near the airport. I am beyond excited!!

[@SunshineStitchers]

Stitch New England is a great retreat for your first one. I have watched FlossTube descriptions and it looks like fun. Enjoy!! And I still get the occasional hot flash at 75. Oh well.

[@Luvnanna21]

I remember my mom having a wringer washer. I loved doing laundry and one time I was doing the washing and wringing out the clothes my hair was long and you guessed it my hair got rung out . Mom came running to help my head was all the way as far as it could go

[@SunshineStitchers]

Oh my! How scary that must have been. Those wringers were something.

[@minniegray-allxxs9332]

I grew up with a wringer washing machine too, we graduated to a washer and dryer set when I was in high school. Great stitching everyone. My Brother sewing machines has buttons or you can use the foot peddles, press and release the button once for one or two back stitches. The key is, if you can adjust the stitching speed, go very slow until you are comfortable speeding up.

[@SunshineStitchers]

That is so right! My machine is all buttons. There is an optional foot pedal, but I stopped using it a long time ago. Now I'm used to the buttons.

[@gabyf001]

EJ, I love your t-shirt 100%!!!

[@EJ_Creates]

Thank you…I love it!!!!

[@lindaficetola607]

Hi ladies❤ We had a washing machine with the rollers, I used to drive my grandma crazy, by putting my hand in the rollers. She would get so upset. But it never hurt. I would laugh. I was very fresh. Then she'd told on me to grandpa, and then I'd get in trouble. 😂😂

[@EJ_Creates]

😂😂😂

[@shebeesstitchyworld]

@@lindaficetola607 we had one with rollers. Watched mom use it once for something large. Sorry, that was too hard of a job.

[@karenbarker5018]

You guys took me right back to my childhood with the old wringer machine!!!! My Gran had one!!!! I could sit and watch for hours!!!! My first ever washing machine was a twin tub! Only problem was , I had to take the motor out of my dryer to make the spinner work!!!!!!😂

[@EJ_Creates]

😂😂

[@scottydog6539]

Bye ladies. It was fun. Lots of chuckles. Thank you. Beautiful work too.

[@mrsmiggins6435]

Good video ladies😃. The quailwas bigger than it's real life eggs lol. Have a good week 🤗🇬🇧

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Thank you for keeping me company on a sleepless night. Oh the laundry stories…sheets in the ringer washer were quite the thing but my grandmother would remind me that it was so much easier than boiling the laundry on a wood stove. Take care ladies. 🦉🧵🪡🌻

[@SunshineStitchers]

I can't even imagine boiling sheets...the wringer was probably the best thing ever. So good to hear from you. I always enjoy hearing about you from other FlossTubers!

[@sticksstringsandotherthings]

I think I will be needing to join the Put a Bird on it SAL.

[@SunshineStitchers]

Please do! It's going to be a great experience.

[@scottydog6539]

Love the sunshine colors chosen for the Egyptian piece.

[@julieharden158]

“It’s the Aircon “…..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It lasts for 5 years! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m sorry but I couldn’t stop laughing at these comments. Bless you E. J, I’m with you and the menopause! It’s the memory that has me lost a lot. So bad that I left my handbag on the plane that I got off on Saturday and we weren’t able to get anyone to reopen the plane door for me to retrieve it. Wish me luck in getting it back tomorrow. I really enjoyed seeing the father of you together. Congratulations on your finish Deb. Your wips are looking lovely ladies. Thank you for sharing your time with us. Love and blessings x

[@ygsmith35]

Enjoyed your YT. I have already gotten my pattern, fabric and floss. I'm ready!

[@EJ_Creates]

❤❤❤

[@SunshineStitchers]

Wonderful! It's going to be so much fun!!

[@jennidawn]

Oh my goodness!! Imma Murder She Wrote girl myself!! I don’t remember what night of the week it came on originally, but we went next door to my Grandmas house to watch “the old lady show” with her. I remember at one point asking my grandma why people didn’t run when Jessica Fletcher showed up…the had to know someone was gonna die!!!😂😂 I’m looking forward to next years SAL. I like the chart, but more importantly, I wanna be in those zooms!! Maybe “Where did you put YOUR bird SAL”.

[@glendamitroff2321]

Fun flosstube! Sheila, you know the black hole will spit out the missing floss as soon as you the new silks. 😊 I think that I may join the 2025 SAL. Have a great week!🎉

[@SunshineStitchers]

I agree! I will have lots of Vikki Clayton silk thread! Do join us for the SAL. It looks like it will be fun!

[@carolnewey6452]

I actually only had hot flashes for a couple of years. I was going to comment on last week's video, but totally forgot! I remember my Dad's mom wringer washer. I used it a few times. The center agitator went back and forth rather than up and down. I think the up/down agitators were in the 80's. My grandma didn't have an indoor toilet until my grandpa passed away in the late 50's (toilets did not belong in the house according to grandpa) so she never had any new-fangled appliances. I turn Flosstubes on usually at night (some videos I will watch during the day). I will actually stay up until midnight or one in the morning too many times a week! I have had to limit myself as to which flosstubes/youtubes I actually regularly follow. I rarely fall asleep with the TV on. Deb-it is always so good to see you! Ladies, yours is one of the few channels I watch every week... I am one of 8 daughters, so my mom never "needed" a dishwasher. One day my dad came home with a very big box and told my mom it was a present. My mom opened it and it was a dishwasher (one of those where you put the hose in the sink and put it away when it wasn't in use). My mom didn't really want it, but didn't want to hurt my dad's feelings. Eventually she actually loved the dishwasher. I think for my dad it was a matter of allowing her more time for things that she really enjoyed doing.

[@SunshineStitchers]

Your Dad was very thoughtful. I used to enjoy watching the agitator. I loved the motion with the clothes and soap bubbles.

[@kbhstitches]

Shelia - I also depend on Jessica Fletcher to get me to sleep 😂. Fun video!

[@shebeesstitchyworld]

@@kbhstitches we get this show from5 am to noon. Good stitching time once husband leaves for work. Furry babies go to sleep too.

[@conniesparks619]

Deb, when adjusting the tension on the sewing machine, make sure the presser foot up so the tension disc's are open.

[@SunshineStitchers]

Thank you! I will mention it to her.

[@Alison_Drey_Stitchery]

I didn't know this! Thanks!

[@shebeesstitchyworld]

I love to watch floss tubes at night while stitching. I watch on phone as it works with my hearing aids and don’t disturb hubby. I get so much done and as many know, I stay up late. During the day when stitching, I watch Murder, She Wrote and I could probably say the dialogue from watching them Over and over… LOL!!! I’ve also found a lot of good old shows and movies on You Tube. I loved all the stitching as usual. Everyone is getting a lot done.

[@SunshineStitchers]

You are so right about the old TV shows. Who knew how much fun they still are. Thank you!

[@tamimorgan1487]

Fun ladies! Thank you for sharing! Happy Stitching! Still thinking about “ Stitch a bird on it”🤷🏼‍♀️🤓

[@tamimorgan1487]

Ok ladies! I’m in! I must have a hole in my head to be starting another project😂🤣😂🤣- you all are such enablers! I just ordered my pattern from evertote. I think I’ll use one color for the stitch- monochromatic stitch. I’ve never only used one color. Now to decide on the color of floss and fabric- it will be 36 or 40 ct.

[@SunshineStitchers]

Sounds fantastic! I can't wait to see what you pick.

[@carollorion5130]

Lots of beautiful projects. Thank you. EJ there is a wrist band that I heard about this weekend at the Acorns & Threads retreat that you can order that either cools you or heats you depending on what is happening with your body. Since I am past that age, I didn’t write down the product name. 😅

[@SunshineStitchers]

Oh wow! That sounds interesting. I will mention it to EJ. Thank you!

[@DjaliStitches]

Lovely finish Deb. Love the WIPs EJ And Shelia. Im excited for the next SAL

[@shawnduray6297]

Oh. m. g...I had them (🔥) for a good ten years! There's nothing like shoveling snow when it's -10 in January with your coat unzipped and thinking "Isn't it a BEAUTIFUL day!" 😂😳 Nice video tonight ladies! I got a lot of stitching done! I did something different today and was watching documentaries on KZbin while I stitched - Patsy Cline and George Jones, both fellow Virgos! Wow, life wasn't always easy back then...but I love the old-time country music!

[@SunshineStitchers]

Sometimes a good documentary is great! I'm stuck on the videos of police interrogations! My KZbin feed must think I'm totally crazy...stitching, cruising, crime, animal rescues....

[@carmeng120]

Yall did a great job with this video, very entertaining! You followed along very well. “Conserving brain power!” I like Bird is the Word! The variety of charts y’all show is great and I enjoyed the tangents you took. My videos r set to auto so when I fall asleep I don’t know who I might wake up to! 😃

[@SunshineStitchers]

Awesome! Thank you! I'm still wrapping my head around falling asleep to FlossTube.

[@Alison_Drey_Stitchery]

Schitts Creek September!! 🎉

[@EleanorNeedlewoman]

I love that you share my interest in the history behind the samplers. In which video did you introduce Mary Pets?

[@SunshineStitchers]

I have no idea. I started her 6/1/2022.

[@andrewilliams1954]

🪡👍🏽

[@raeannoneill8392]

LOL. 5 YEARS??? I am going on 20 years if hot flashes. I watch your KZbin probably 3-4 times because I watch it when it is available on Saturday night. Yes, I fall asleep. That way you get extra views. 😅

[@SunshineStitchers]

Now, I'm feeling so lucky! I do get a hot flash occasionally, but nothing like before.

[@conniesparks619]

Follow up on Miami University athletics. Some players you might recognize: Ron Harper, Ben Roethlisberger, Wally Szczerbiak.

[@SunshineStitchers]

An incredible list of success in football. I knew the school was familiar. I'm surprised they don't make more of it on the website...unless I couldn't find it. Clearly, they prepare great leaders.

[@teresarickets4770]

I am 76 years old in October and we had the ringer washing machine for you had to put a tube inside run your water put your soap in agitated around then you took the tube to drain it put it down in the drain on the floor, and then you ran the clothes through the ringermy little sister would usually stand on the other side and the clothes they came through one day she got too close and caught her hair in it. Mother had immediately stop it and daddy came in and released it so we could get her hair out.

[@SunshineStitchers]

I remember putting the hose in the wash basin to drain the water! You had to make sure the basin was clear so nothing clogged the drain. I hated mopping spilled water.

[@SmilingPlayfulPup-wb4rh]

And by the way murder she wrote is on the TV now

[@DeviSisk]

Planning on the next sal. Love that pattern

[@SunshineStitchers]

Hooray! It will be fun!!

[@joyd5000]

Loved all the stitching!

[@SunshineStitchers]

It's good to hear from you. Hoping all is well. Thank you!!

[@cross_stitch_sarah]

I only found you ladies recently but absolutely love your videos! You are all so happy... you brighten my day and make me laugh lots! I am going to join the Put A Bird On It SAL and I can't wait! I LOVE that chart so much. I got it from Jacob himself at Big Stitch retreat here in the UK back in July. Happy stitching to you all!

[@SunshineStitchers]

Welcome!! Thank you for finding and watching us. Can't wait to see your progress next year!

[@StitchNButton]

💙☕️💙

[@teresarickets4770]

I watch Perry Mason and then Murder she wrote

[@SunshineStitchers]

Perry Mason. Now that's a show to remember.

[@SmilingPlayfulPup-wb4rh]
