Hey! In your video you mentioned disliking stitching on paper / magazine patterns and prefer using Saga (or other programs). Are you aware you can convert your paper patterns into digital formats to be read in Cross Stitch Saga? I do it for all my paper / pdf patterns and stitch everything in Saga. It is so much faster and easier to keep track of. I do a lot less frogging.

Congratulations on your career move. I wish you all the very best for the future. So exciting for you and us as stitchers. Really enjoyed your update Happy stitching 😊❤

Fabulous update, was so lovely to meet you at the FF retreat. Christmas rules is looking great, definitely do autumn rules next year. I adored stitching that one!

Congratulations on your career move. That’s exciting news for you, and for all of us 😉. Hope it brings you the balance you need.

Acorns and Threads, in the USA, Colorado, has Blue Grass Gloriana in stock. Sorry it’s so far from you. Happy Holidays from Michigan!

Congrats! That is an amazing, scary milestone. And chaos is real, for me anyway 😅 and I like it.

This video has so much love and joy in it. It's like a massive hug from you both. Thank your mum for me for joining in

So pleased Winnie found a new home and I have plenty more in my box of doom if you want to buy any more haha 😂 was lovely meeting you at the retreat xxx

💜💜💜

Hi, Casa Cenina has both Gloria's instock, just checked 😊 love your vids BTW

Congratulations re your job and being able to give more time to the shop. It can only keep getting better and your choice of charts and goodies for us keep us coming back for more! Looking forward to seeing more although my credit card is already groaning 😂😂😂

Awesome news about you shop/job 😊

Fabulous news on the job front hun and your not the only one who matches projects to bags I do try to where i can am off to see wicked on the 25 th but I didn't know it was a two part thing I'm already traumatised from the wait for lord of rings trilogy years ago😅 and oooo the tea reader chart is just lush thanks for showcasing it off x

Hi poppet, I was looking at Peakside needleworks a few minutes ago and it looks as if they currently have 3 skeins available for purchase!! xxx

🐴🐴🐴

Congratulations 👏 at being able to give up work x I actually do it the other way I will buy the fabric to go with chart and make myself a bag for each project😂 xx

Congratulations Rachael on being able to concentrate on your shop!! I'm sure it is a lot to keep up with, but it sounds like a lot of fun!!!

Just checked West End Embroidery and looks like they have Gloriana Blue Grass in stock 🎉

Yay! All caught up, and glad I didn't miss seeing your fabulous new starts 😄 I hope you had a most wonderful birthday 🎁💜

I so agree with you…I love the process of things…the journey. I’m a widow and find I like living alone because everything I do is at my own pace and I do what pleases me. At first I didn’t understand why anyone would start so many projects and not finish them before moving on, but I have the ‘fever’ of seeing something new I want to stitch now, enjoying the colors of the fabric and floss and using my own creativity to bring me contentment. For me it’s the just the journey, not the end product.

I've been working my way through all your recent videos since I got back from Iceland and am really enjoying the weekly (or nearly weekly!) updates 😄 Christmas Rules is looking so good...much more done than mine 😂 Love the shop updates and designer showcases. Its a great idea. Very enabling though 😂 I've only just ordered and now I'm eyeing up that Flossabilities nautical pillow 🙈

Hope you had a wonderful birthday! Trying to catch up on flosstube after the FF retreat, didn't realise how far behind I had gotten! Was so lovely to meet you, your stall was fab!

I saw Laurens charts were popular finishes at the retreat at the weekend! The advent calendar is just adorable

The trousers look fab! And just think how many funky prints you can have!

I suggest you laundry Winnie the Pooh to gentle remove the stains and I believe it should soften the fabric. They make a gentle wash especially for linens, sorry I dont recal tge name.

I know I’m late to the bee problem (long Flosstube queue sorry 😅). Here’s what I would do. Cut a strip of the extra paper off of the top and bottom, and glue it with just a few dots along the sides where the wings need extending, overlapping a few hole rows, so the holes align. As it’s paper it won’t fray, it will not be noticeable once you stitch over where there are two layers and once you cut away all the extra paper once the piece is complete it will make absolutely no difference. But that’s just me cause I’d worry a bee with shorter wings would end up looking odd. Good luck with whatever you have decided!

Happy belated birthday. X

Happy birthday! It sounds like you've spent your birthday money very wisely. Has has so many lovely designs. I have stitched the summer gnome and Halloween bird already and have several in my stash - the trouble is deciding which to do next...

Happy birthday for yesterday 🎉sounds like you had a lovely day x my favourite colour is also purple 💜 56ct 😮😮😮 good luck 😂 x

Happy Birthday for yesterday. Glad you had a great time. Sounds like a lowery day, you'll love the extra long bar and lightbar. You'll then have to get the table clamp for retreats as well. Love your new starts and all the charts 😀

Happy belated birthday 🎉🎂🥳

Happy Belated Bday. Sounds like you had a great day. The material For your birthday start is beautiful.

Sounds like a wonderful birthday! Loving my Primitive Hare stitch! That 56 count looks a bit tiny I have to say.....🤣

❤❤❤

I just finished Yasmins Autumn Bouquet, and it was a gorgeous stitch 😊.

Hey Rach! So glad you had a great bday! Fab news starts. I’m sat here looking at your 56 ct in awe as stitching on 36ct and struggling a wee bit with me eyes 😂😂

Hi lovely, all your stitching is just beautiful and I am so excited that you jumped onto 56ct and looking forward to seeing your ‘Boo’, it will be wonderful xx ❤

Love the soporiphic lettuce kit - it’s super cute. Lauren’s charts are beautiful. I’m off to find her floss tube right now! 😊

What size is that 16 count aida from Zweigart light blue that you are working the advent calendar?

Lovely little progress update and the showcase a designer is a brilliant idea. I'm looking forward to the next one!

On no! The bee - I think I would probably fudge it too, if I'm honest. Looking forward to joining in with your SAL next week - happy birthday in advance!

Oh I laughed at all the small starts. That sums up my October very well 😂 I've kitted up It's a phase by primitive hare. It was hard to choose between them all but that one has been waiting the longest I think.

Love the introduction of the designer showcase section👍

It was lovely to meet you at Stitch in London. You were so kind. Weirdly I was only thinking this morning that I really wanted to start a primitive hare literature piece and now you’ve given me the perfect excuse!

😂 I'm glad you've done some stitching on WTP it's looking brilliant and I'll call you out on it again in the future if need be 😂😂. I'd love to see some of your mum's pieces as well. ❤ Loved catching up with you Oh also may I add that I forbid you from adding product tags for items from your shop because I then click and get taken down rabbit holes and my wish list grows 😂😢❤

Hi Rachel, thanks for great SIL review, hope to attend next year. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful stitching. Hope to see you at Floss Friends in November if you are attending. Thanks for recent gift with my order.

Sounds like I definitely need to get to a stitch in London 😊 I will be joining your Sal, the Salem bay mermaid is here waiting ❤

It is my birthday mid November though twice as old as you 😳and didn’t know what to stitch so I intend to do the Sal with you and just ordered everything If you are at Floss Friends in November hope to meet you

I look forward to following your progress on Poison Garden. It will be beautiful! The poison garden at Alnwick is on my " to visit" list. I've been to the medicinal garden (in Chelsea?) and it would be a cool contrast.
