FLOSSTUBE

One of the most frequently asked questions in the needlework community…

What’s FlossTube?

Head on over to YouTube & type in floss tube in the search function – a catalog of hundreds (are we thousands yet?)  of stitchers have created channels where we talk, show, share, explain, laugh & support one another in our stitching adventures!

Here are quick links to my FlossTube videos.  I enjoy filming one about once or twice a month to show you vintage stitches, current projects, New Releases & to introduce you to a special guest every once in awhile!

Floss Tube videos that include a tutorial are marked with an asterisk (*).

No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all weekend. Billy just got home from an amazing trip out west where he got to white water raft, ride a gondola, hike in a national park (where they saw all kinds of wildlife), swim, go to a real rodeo, go on an alpine rail, make new friends and so much more. 

I missed him so much (even though he doesn’t live with us every day…yep, the mom in me knew he was far away 😊) - we are so thankful to the Let’s Go West team for planning & documenting this trip. He’s staying on with us a few more days …I was even excited to do his laundry!?!?🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Did you know that when I released Well Hello There - we called those adorable buttons that grace each stitch every month 'button-moji's'?? 

Button-moji packs are still available from my dear friends @justanotherbuttoncompany - I don't know that button-moji ever caught on as a word but they sure look cute

A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started Harvest Lilies from my good friend Tracy @inkcircles.xs - I switched up the linen for 32ct Rosewood @fabrics.by.steph & called for threads with Sulky 12wt. I do have a yellow pulled for the negative space that looks kinda quilty. I'm thinking about leaving it like it is...what do you think?
