Oh I like that quilt for a great grand daughter.

[@cathypalmer1365]

I enjoyed the video.Thanks for sharing.

[@chrisannstriefel8213]

Love to see all the fun things you guys are working on. Love Jen’s quilt behind you and Carol the baby quilt you did was very nice too. Sounds like you had a great time at stitch con. Keep up the great videos.

[@kimrae6752]

My dream shop = The Attic. Great to see you both. I hope you had a great vacation Jenn! Happy Stitching!

[@CornhuskerStateStitchers]

Love the red frame with the Bent Creek pattern Carol! Glad you had fun at Stitch Con Jen.

[@audreyfleming8036]

Loved watching, always get a giggle,

[@epworthglynn7544]

I would love to see the Silver Needle and the Attic. Enjoyed seeing your stitching and quilting.

[@maureenbrewer8816]

Hi Carol and Jen! Another great floss tube! Carol, I love your Stars and Stripes piece. The red frame is perfect. The shop everyone should go to is Shepherd’s Bush in Utah. It is amazing and the people are too. It is floor to ceiling with beautiful samples. There is a huge selection of threads and linens. Prepare to spend hours there if you visit. My sisters and I are making the 7 hour (one way) road trip to visit Shepherd’s Bush this week. We will come home with wonderful patterns, beautiful linens and threads and empty pockets! We will have a great time!

[@danetteroe8276]

What fun to see all your WIPs! My LNS dream is to visit Shepard’s Bush in Utah. Thanks for sharing memories of StitchCon 2024. ❤

[@marylynnlutenski9196]

Hi I’m from Michigan. Love the Traverse City area. Great wineries !! I love how both of your tops match Jen’s quilt!! It is so cool!

[@bonnieseen8404]

Ladies, thank you for another delightful episode! Informative, inspiring, fun. Your love and respect for each other is such a blessing ( and makes me miss my mom all the more), so happy you have your family. I would love to go back to Shanty stitchers in SD. Found it while on vacation last year, I believe I could spend a whole day there! The other answer that I really wanted to give to what store I would like to visit is, all of them!!. Thanks ladies for your time and another great flosstube.

[@MoneikQuilts]

I love Shanty Stitchers, but I think I need a week in there! There is so much to see.

[@Jeanettelee1973]

Dream shop is the silver needle… it’s close so definitely doable

[@kathystever129]

I have heard so much about the Country Sampler in Wisconsin that I would love to visit there.

[@judithsmith593]

Sounds like you had an amazing time at stitchcon. The quilt of the day is lovely too. The framed stars and stripes piece is cute too.

[@susanwarner9427]

Enjoyed visiting with you and seeing all the things. My LNS is The Attic. Another favorite is Shepherds Bush. It is so quaint and filled with wonderful things.

[@stitchingscottie4505]

It was great to see you again and at Stitch Con! Hope you get to bring Carol and Michelle both next year. Loved seeing all your beautiful stitching. Jennifer’s quilt is beautiful! I have been to The Attic and Hobbyhouse and they are must visit shops, but would really love to visit Acorns and Threads and The Silver Needle both. Thank you very much for the double shout outs! I love watching you both! Dottie

[@georgiemcdougle9064]

My dream shop would be any cross stitch shop since I don't have any near me. 😢

[@triciabenich]

LOVE the Jacks quilts, Jennifer! Beautiful color combo. Stars and Stripes is a fantastic framed piece, Carol! love the red frame. And the coasters! Well done, Jenna! Really enjoyed following your vacation on insta, Jennifer. Carol, we trained our sheltie to ring a bell to go out fairly quickly and easily, It made life much easier. I’ve been to the Attic and Country Sampler both multiple times and both are wonderful stores. So, of the stores I haven’t been to I’d really like to go to Dyeing to Stitch and Acorns & Threads. I know that’s two but i couldn’t decide. (and so glad Carlos won. It was fun to have a different/unexpected woman’s champion too. I like Barbora.)

[@wendywesley7423]

I always fall in luv with a pattern every time I watch you guys. This time I went down a rabbit whole looking for the quilt pattern behind you. None to be found. 😢 I will continue to look. Thank you for bringing up such interesting pieces. ❤ The stitch shop on my dream list would be Hobby House in NY🎉

[@kristenacarbone7549]

Hi Jennifer- it was an absolute pleasure to meet you at Stitch-Con. It was my first time, but definitely not my last! I had such a wonderful time. It’s so fun watching different floss tubes and reliving the weekend through them. Your recap was definitely fun to hear about also. My dream Stitchy shop to visit would be the Attic. I love samplers and it would be amazing to see all the shop models. Hopefully some day I can make that a reality.

[@twotallstitchers]

So nice to meet you and I agree, will definitely go back!

[@laurazuniga184]

My dream shop is Keepsakes, I hope next year I can visit it.

[@nancymarsh2540]

Enjoyed your video! My dream shop is Shepherds Bush in Ogden, Utah. Fabulous staff and shop 😊

[@cherylpratt6952]

The Silver Needle in Tulsa, Oklahoma! I went 3 years ago and loved it!

[@deeb5808]

I'd have to say my LNS Black Cat Stitchery in Winthrop Harbor IL. Great customer service. I'd love to visit the Attic some day.

[@KristineSearle]

I just love all your episodes, I would love to visit Shepard Bush Needle Shop someday.

[@janeybrookmyer1505]

Great video! Glad you enjoyed my note to the Post Office and your mail carrier. I hoped a little humor would help someone pay attention! My dream shop would be Yoder's Fabrics and Lollies together for a quilt shop with the same size cross stitch shop combined - all three together. It would take a week to see everything!❤

[@dianefabec8157]

Another fun video. I’m glad you enjoyed stitchcon. I have never been to a retreat. Acorns and thread is a shop I would like to visit.

[@kimbowman13]

Keepsakes is one of my dream shops to visit. My other one is Hobby House. Make plans for that road trip to The Silver Needle, its amazing😊

[@cathybortz1779]

My dream shop is The Attic in Mesa, Arizona.

[@joyceclowser3371]

I would love to go to The Silver Needle in Tulsa, OK. My sister used to live in Bartlesville, OK. I can’t believe I didn’t ever get to Tulsa (1 hour away!) Wonderful finishes, ladies! Happy stitching!

[@robinselby1]

Hi ladies! I have to tell you that’s my favorite quilt of all! Every single one you’ve shown is beautiful but this one pushes all my buttons❤ beautiful stitching in your wips as always too! I hope you are enjoying your summer and I’ll be here watching😊 my dream LNS is Shepherds Bush in Utah! One day I am getting on a plane and going there for like a week😂

[@twotallstitchers]

Thank you so much Robin - and a week at Shepherd's Bush sounds really fun!

[@kathy1896]

Love the coasters and seeing your projects! Also enjoyed hearing about StitchCon... it's on my bucket list! Also on my bucket list is to visit Keepsakes and the Attic!

[@pamkahmann3833]

I have been to Missouri Star Quilt Shop in Hamilton, MO several times. It is wonderful!!! There is a much smaller shop in Brunswick, MO, called Sew Sweet Shop that is mainly a quilt shop, but carries quite a bit of cross stitch supplies. Also a great retreat place!! A group of us go there every year. I am very fortunate to live 10 minutes away from Quilter’s Station. They are also mainly a quilt shop, but have added cross stitch. Also close to CC & Company. A cross stitch shop that I have enjoyed for 40 years!!! I am happy to stop in any place I pass!!! Anywhere there is fabric is my dream shop!😁

[@susanmccoy1992]

Well, I’m visiting one of my dream shops in September, Acorn and Threads. And I would love to visit The Attic!

[@UntwistyourStitches]

I enjoyed following your travels on Instagram. Looked like you and your family had a wonderful adventure.

[@twotallstitchers]

Thank you - we had a good trip!

[@sutherngal71]

I just went to Liberty Hill Needleworks in Williamsburg VA and it is a MUST go too!

[@sandykalmeyer9523]

Our Shih Tzu and Sheepadoodle hate fireworks and thunder. We’ve even gotten them the thunder vests. Doesn’t help! My dream shop would be The Silver Needle. I’ve been to Silver Needle but it’s been quite a few years. It’s amazing. And they had a corner of the store selling Vera Bradley bags. (Don’t know if they still do) We can go together! 😁 My plan is to get to Stitch Con next year. I’m in NE Ohio so why not. Until next time, happy stitching 🪡

[@conniesiefken4696]

So glad to see your new flosstube come up. I love the quilt you displayed - it's rather mesmerizing to look at. I guess my favorite shop to visit would be The Silver Needle in Tulsa. I've visited The Attic (many years ago), Missouri Star Quilting, and Stitchville. I'm always so overwhelmed in these larger shops, but it's still fun to look. I enjoy seeing the shop models both of you stitch - you can stitch different designers and it's fun to be introduced to designers that might not always be in the mainstream.

[@maureenlopez9266]

Hobby House Needleworks in upstate NY is a shop I'd love to visit. It's within driving distance, but would require an overnight stay probably. I'd love to see Silver Needle as well, but that's not too likely. Welcome Stitchery in MN is another shop I'd love to get to, if only to share some laughs with Justine and Shelly! 😂.

[@lwmillsap]

I want to go to The Attic! But I count myself blessed when I visit any needlework shop. I have been to several now, and I love Dyeing to Stitch, which is my closest LNS at 3 hours away.

[@DeeAZstitcher]

Cool Recap. Attic Needlework is a must see (Mesa, AZ), and I'm going with Stitcher's Paradise in Las Vegas, NV

[@lesliesjostrom8670]

I would love to go to Welcome Stitchery in Blue Earth!

[@virpir2453]

I think my dream shop would be any LNS cause we don't have needlework shops in our country.

[@suepasno4436]

I live within an hour of Stitchville, which sadly closed. My dream shop to visit would have to be Shepherd’s Bush. Thanks for the video.

[@marymokry2639]

I think I would like to travel to Keepsakes since I have heard so much about it!

[@mickiejohnson8940]

I would love to go to the Attic, in Mesa, Arizona, it sounds wonderful. I loved seeing all the projects you’ve worked on.

[@melindameyer2541]

I don't know what my dream shop would be. I do love going to The stitchery Nook in Osage, IA. Take care

[@michaeljones4380]

Carol and Jen! Greetings from Dallas!! It’s always such a pleasure to get your videos. I really enjoy them!! One needlework shop I’d like to visit would be A Stitch in Time in Tasmania, Australia. I belong to one of their floss clubs. Another I’d like to visit is The Attic which I will be doing in February. And there’s Acorn and Threads as I really enjoy the Pacific Northwest. Thanks so much!!

[@sherriplocinski8721]

Another great video. My dream LNS to visit is Shepherds Bush. Maybe some day. My son was stationed at Hill AFB a few years ago before I knew about the shop. Maybe he’ll get stationed there again 🤞

[@helend.flosstube]

Good morning! So nice to catch up with you. I'm glad you had a good time at Stitch Con. There's still room at Stitch New England if you need another Fall retreat 😉

[@twotallstitchers]

Oh man, I’d love it but I think it is the same weekend as our quilt retreat!

[@JulieRStitches]

Silver Needle in Tulsa…I’ve went there for a Retreat ant it is AMAZING 🤗‼️

[@jayneterry8701]

Carol your baby quilt so fresh and modern! ❤ The coasters from your granddaughter- cool. I happened to be watching the news here in Toronto and they ran the story ( several times ) about how Nial had to walk to the hotel or concert as traffic! 😮😂 1st world problem...😂 I hear there is a huge quilt shop in Florida called Rainbow and it close to where the Blue Jays spring train! 😍

[@MoneikQuilts]

I love the Zipper Jig. I have 2 of them and use them almost weekly to add zipper pulls. You'll love it once you learn how to use it. My favorite shop is Shanty Stitchers in Beresford, SD.

[@jenniebest5354]

I would love to visit Acorns and Threads, but I also live near (an hour away) the amazing Shepherd's Bush.

[@barbaramueller8636]

I finally got caught up on your videos. I started at the first one and just got to the current one. You two are so amazing. To be able to do this together is such a gift. I love all the laughter and well, of course all the stitching as well. Your pieces are all quite beautiful. I also quilt. I do all the things to. I think we need way more hours in a day to do half the things we all want to do. I used to work in a quilt shop and ran two handi quilters at once. Yes, they were both computerized. They stitched so beautifully. I loved it. I wish I had one of my own. It takes so long to quilt the sandwich that they start to pile up on me. I have many cross stitch patterns that are ready to be stitched. I love all the questions that you ask/poll. I have yet to find a needle shop here in CT that is not just a knitting shop. I do that as well but I do not have a local cross stitch shop. The place I hear a lot about is up in Oregon and that is where I would love to go. Acorn and Threads. Keep up the amazing work. Keep those laughs coming. Nothing better than to start the day with a huge smile and a laugh. Thank you for sharing.

[@twotallstitchers]

Thanks so much for your sweet comments and for watching all the videos!

[@martikline4522]

Acorn and Threads!

[@margaretbaker623]

Hello ladies. Thank you for the update. Great eye candy! Your shirts really matched the wall hanging 😊. Loved the Pareto graph.⚘️

[@maryavaux2038]

No LNS close to me. When I can get away I love visiting Welcome Stitchery in Blue Earth MN and Stitchery Nook in Osage Iowa. My dream shop to visit is Shepherd’s Bush in Utah.

[@joanneneufeld8212]

Hi ladies. I have 3 dream shops - The Attic and Acorns and Threads, but the closest U.S shop to me is Welcome Stitchery, which is about a 12 hr drive from my home in Canada but I will make it there next year.

[@pennysdaughtershares8227]

Thank you for sharing!!💚 I can’t choose just one dream shop!! I love Country Sampler in Wisconsin. I want to go to The Silver Needle, The Attic, Acorns & Threads, and I’m certain there are several more I have forgotten😊

[@karenjohnson8177]

I would love to go to Country Sampler in WI, or to Colorado Cross Stitch.

[@sharonwilliams6787]

My dream shop would be shepherds bush. That shop looks amazing on walk throughs from previous flosstubers visits.

[@nancyteel1676]

Love your video! I live north of Boston, near the New Hampshire border. Hoped you enjoyed your time😄

[@twotallstitchers]

We did! We must have been close to where you lived, we stayed in Lowell and then Newburyport.

[@edaalessio8381]

One day I’ll get to stitch con. It’s hard to pick one LNS so I’ll say 2: Hobby House Needleworks in Upstate NY and Shepherd’s Bush in Utah.

[@donnaboyd5108]

Nice to see a summer catch up with you two! Pretty things you both are working on. I live less than a 2 hours drive from The Silver Needle in Tulsa and would like to get there as it has been a long while since I have been.

[@lindamorse6188]

My number 1 cross stitch shop is Hobby House Needleworks in Victor, NY. Absolutely 💯 fabulous! You can spend hours there. The owners and staff are amazing!

[@pattyso]

I went to Silver Needle a couple weeks ago (about an hour out of our way on a trip). I thought it was my dream shop (along with Keepsakes & Welcome Stitchery); however, I was completely overwhelmed. Tooooo much for me! I guess I’m just an on line purchaser! The same reason I’ve never been to Missouri Star even though it’s only 30 miles away.

[@ytsmom]

I've been lucky enough to had a short visit to The Attic and The Silver Needle. My dream visit would be to Shepherd's Bush. The ladies seem like so much fun!

[@SpeedyXStitcher]

I don't have any favourite LNS, but I would love to visit just one of those shops you American and British floss tubers mention 😊 I will also join the Stitch the Summer Olympics and my new start at the Opening Ceremony is because Carol showed the pattern a long time ago, namely the 'Winter Silhouette' I could only find it as a paper chart, but thanks to the onionskin feature in Winstitch I now have it fully Pattern Keeper compatible ❤ Looking forward to starting it 😊 K R Esther

[@alisonjones9305]

Hi Jen and Carol, I had fun listening/watching whilst sewing a tote bag my daughter has asked me to make for her. I would LOVE to visit Shepherds Bush in Utah, that would be a dream! I have lost my cross stitch mo jo of late but hopefully it will come back. I’ve been sewing other things, Jen I made that Sandhill bag. I have it on my IG. I used Tula Pink bunny fabric but I quilted the pieces onto By Annie, Soft and Stable and love it. My friend inspired me after I saw her make. Noodle head has a great tutorial on YT how she made it. Best wishes . Alison 🇬🇧

[@twotallstitchers]

Ooh, thanks Alison - I will go look for your bag and the tutorial!

[@ginnygilbertson4964]

Would love to go to the Attic in Mesa, AZ!!

[@madonnamarrin4280]

There are lots I want to go thru but I would put Hobby House at the top of my list.

[@joanmorris7135]

There are a few iconic shops out there but my dream store is A Stitching Shop in Denver. It’s spacious, well stocked, everything is neat and organized, and the staff is friendly and incredibly helpful. It’s fabulous.

[@janhugo8196]

So fun to watch as always. Thanks for sharing 🎉❤

[@heidilehnig3099]

The two shops I’ve been that I loved are silver needle and keepsakes ❤

[@TheStitchingOwl]

My LNS is my dream shop….i have quilting and framing and cross stitch all in one shop and only 20 minutes from my front door. 🦉🧵🪡🔆

[@GinaGranderson]

Hi Jen! I am one of the Texans that were sitting at the table next to you at Stitch-Con. You sat and visited with me and my sisters at breakfast one morning. I am so excited to find you and your lovely mother on FlossTube!! I have been going back a watching your previous videos. I really enjoyed seeing all that y’all are working on. Our LNS is The Tinsmith’s Wife in Comfort,Texas. It is definitely worth the trip to visit. Comfort is a small tourist town with LOTS of antique shops, gift shops, boutiques and good food. It’s a short drive from San Antonio. Looking forward to watching you girls in the future. Happy stitching!!!❤

[@twotallstitchers]

Hi Gina! So great to see your name here! Thanks so much for watching and it was so great to meet you and your sisters!

[@rebeccajourney3183]

You two match your quilt!! How's the new puppy Cindy doing? My dream shop would be to go anywhere in the USA to a shop that carries all the things. Not any near me any more other than the big box stores sad😢

[@staceysalisbury2228]

Happy Belated 4th of July to both of you! Jennifer, your recent family vacation looked very fun! My dream visit to a LNS would be The Silver Needle and/or Acorn and Threads in the Pacific Northwest. I have already been to many "great" ones--Shepherd's Bush in Utah and The Attic in Arizona. Happy Stitching.

[@kathypeterson3217]

Missouri Star Quilts in Hamilton Missouri. What a great place to go. It's a must

[@sophiaedmonds2917]

Love the new video, the quilt looks amazing. Hi Jen thanks again for taking a picture with me at stitch con😊. So my favorite LNS is Stitch New England and my dream store to visit is the Attic. 😊

[@twotallstitchers]

Lovely to meet you!

[@robynorchard2194]

My dream shop is Stitchery XPress in Layton, utah. Excellent store. More than you can ever immagine

[@MyEvilGSP]

So many shops to choose from, so hard to choose. I live between Acorns and Threads and Threadneedle Street, so I’m pretty spoiled. But I would love to go to Quilters Station or the Silver Needle.

[@raeannoneill8392]

I would like to visit Keepsakes in Cincinnati. I don't live that far so not sure why I have not gone.

[@kevinmentzer782]

Thank you for responding to my question about diamond painting for my granddaughter. She will be so excited when she see the beautiful work. Maryanne

[@lorettahenderson8979]

You two are the greatest...best wishes❤

[@cindyfrisco539]

I am thrilled when I see you have a new Flosstube!!! Very entertaining and always inspiring❤🤍💙

[@twotallstitchers]

Thank you! 😊

[@patriciamillar5496]

Confess, you wore those shirts to coordinate with the quilt.

[@twotallstitchers]

I wish we were that coordinated - love it when it works out that way!

[@carolnewey6452]

I actually like making drums or biscornus, anything that is "different". Some things "have" to be framed-bigger ones and ones that I hope are "heirlooms". Some things are nicer in pillows-I made a pillow for one of my daughters as it was something I hoped she could hug.

[@lizflorom6021]

The Attic in AZ.

[@ccockrum59]

I would like to go to Shepard's Bush and the Silver Needle too. I'm looking forward to the August Retreat. It's getting closer. I'm going to Keepsakes for the first time tomorrow.

[@twotallstitchers]

Hope you had fun at Keepsakes Cheryl!

[@ccockrum59]

@@twotallstitchers I did!!! There is stuff EVERYWHERE! Definitely not a once and done visit.

[@Mrs.AZfamilyzooStitches]

Great stitches as always. The Lizzie Kate is looking great! I have the Zipper Jig. Some days it works great, other days it is not my friend.😆 Maybe it's my giant hands.🤣 You'll have to let me know how it works for you.

[@sewpatty1515]

I would like to visit Acorns & Threads. I had an opportunity to visit HobbyHouse on the way to watch our grandson play at Cooperstown last month. I made the sling bag to take on that trip. I noticed your Mackinaw, Michigan shirt. We live in Mackinaw, Illinois, 3 hrs west of you. Always enjoy your videos.

[@twotallstitchers]

How fun to go to Hobby House on the way to Cooperstown! Would love to see a picture of your sling bag!

[@cheryl9353]

Want to see the Attic.

[@theresapetrik1995]

Did you really plan that your shirts coordinated with Jen's quilt? It was a nice visual. It's always fun to spend time with you. My dream shop would be one that had tons of fabrics and threads to give me great options for kitting up my patterns. Sadly, there is currently only one LNS in my state, about 5 hours away. They have a variety of needlework supplies and limited choices. I long to see the fabrics in person, not on a computer screen. Stay well and enjoy the rest of the month.

[@loriirons9503]

Hi there! A new subscriber here as well. I just finished the Cherry Hill piece you are doing Jennifer. It is lovely but certainly hard to see on the blue fabric! Really liked your question and answer portion of your flosstube! Happy Stitching!

[@twotallstitchers]

Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@deehansen5490]

My dream cross stitch shop is Sassy Jacks in Asheville, South Carolina? After listening to the Sunshine Stitchers rave about it, I now want to go! You are both making good progress on your WIPs! Carol, can you still get those Shepherds Bush bags at Persnickety? I can’t seem to find them anywhere! I especially like the Liberty one, but I like them all! !

[@twotallstitchers]

Hi Dee - she can order the bags for you!

[@TheStitchingOwl]

I do love making drums but I am not in USA…if you want to ship to Canada or have a zoom during the first try I am happy to help with drum making.

[@twotallstitchers]

Thank you so much - we may take you up on the Zoom offer!

[@deborahcrotty8397]

Hi ladies - my two favorite Hoosiers. Where can I purchase those Diamond Painting coasters? I love them. I won't spoil Wimbledon results for you Carol.

[@twotallstitchers]

Aww, thank you! The coasters are from Michael’s!

[@Diane_W]

Houghton Lake! Jennifer I am so jealous. I used to go there every year until this illness. Did you go to Arnie’s? There are a couple quilt stores too. Let me know! Where did you stay or does your friend have a place? I miss it so much. I would like to go to Acorns and Threads, and Always in Stitches.

[@twotallstitchers]

Hi Diane! My friend has a cottage on the north shore and I love to go there! I’ve been to one of the quilt stores years ago but don’t know about Arnie’s. Will have to ask her next time we visit!
