Thank you for the good long visit. I saved your video these last two weeks for a morning when I could hunker in and enjoy it throughly, knowing it would be a good one. I've watched many other flosstubes I've never watched before. You gave so many suggestions, and I wrote them all down. Happiest 2024 ladies! 🎉❤🪡 🎉❤ 🪡
Thank you Kristina for your kind comments. We are so happy we inspired and enSABLEd you and maybe left you with a smile. Happy new year ❤ and happy stitching
Dear Lennie and Roberta, have a very blessed 2024. May God bless you and your families in the coming days. My wish for you is to always find the perfect stitch and complete it with laughter, among those you love. God bless my two favorite people on u-tube.
Lennie, I stitched dear daughter of mine, finished it in December for my daughters birthday on the 23; it finished to about 8 inches, framed it in a 12 inch square gold frame, turned out beautiful. Should have started it in July. 😂. Love you all, Roberta so glad you are feeling better. Looking forward to you all this year, you keep me company with lots of beautiful stitching and laughs. Best always.
Another wonderful video ladies, always happy to sit down with my stitching (or drag my butt to the treadmill), and enjoy seeing all that you stitch and share with us. I am so glad you are feeling better Roberta and sorry you had that scary experience on your flight home. Looking forward to seeing your Prairie Schooler stitching Lennie, I too have collected many of their designs since the 1980's and decided I need to put a dent in them this year as well. Wishing you both a happy, healthy and productive stitching year ahead! :)
It's fun hearing how many people have been collecting their designs for so many years! I have a feeling we are going to see a lot of Prairie Schooler stitching in the coming year!
I love that you love Prairie Schooler. It is one of my favorite. I made a quilt out of 12 days of Santas. I have a Prairie Schooler wall. There is about 50 of them. Glad Roberta was alright on the plane. My biggest fear to need a Dr on a flight. I am a retired nurse. And fly byself quite a bit. Love Prairie year! I have done various ones bit not all. Love the video! .I wanted to do 12 on new year eve but my granddaughter will be here. I did it last year. I liked it. I have no daughters but my daughter in law started cross stitching. We spent 3days at Christmas stitching watching Dr martin and drinking tea. I was in heaven.
That’s exciting your granddaughter is learning and I would love to see your quilt. I’m just going to keep stitching them. They are definitely my comfort stitching. Happy new year ❤
Sounds like a wonderful Christmas holiday! My husband and I have been binge watching the last few seasons of Doc Martin. Wouldn't you love to live in that village! I was relieved that we were only 30 minutes from landing when I got sick. My supervisor got very ill coming home from a mission trip in Africa and I was thinking how miserable and scary it would be to have such a long flight ahead when feeling so sick.
Hurray Roberta and Linnie! Glad you are okay Roberta!, Thank you for sharing your beautiful works ! Linnie , your stories and humor are awesome, always makes me chuckle! Love your flosstubes and sharing your stories and plans and education and all the things! So happy I retired this year, so now I can stitch and be inspired by your each!! Happy New Year and enjoy all you can!! Hugs, Anna
Hi Anna. Congratulations on your retirement. I see lots of stitching in your future. Thank you for your kind words and we wish you a very happy and blessed New Year ❤
Wow, so sorry to hear about your medical scare, Roberta, but how fortunate that your husband was with you and the airline and medical staff were so helpful. I'm glad that there have been no serious aftereffects. Thank for a wonderful year of flosstube goodness. You closed out 2023 with a bang. (I thought for a moment that this episode might need a parental guidance warning, tho. 😆 ) Sending best wishes for happiness and good health to you and your families in 2024. Take care.
Happy New Year ladies🎉🎉. 2 of my FFO's for 2023 were Daughter of Mine and Mrs Campbell both a joy to do. As we have 2 daughters, (1 now a Campbell ) the incentive was there to finish them and our girls love them. My word for 2024 is Breathe. Just to stop and breathe in whats around me as life can be bit hectic sometimes. Love your floss tubes. Looking forward to more.
I was excited to hear Linnie say that her grandson was dating an ISU student. Both my husband and I graduated from Iowa State. And Roberta I am glad that you did not get a concussion from your fall. I hope that your New Years are off to a great start. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful needlework.
I grew up a Hawkeye fan but hoped our older son would consider Iowa State since he was an engineering major, but instead he went to Colorado State and never came back. Wish he lived closer although visiting Colorado is always fun!
Our youngest son went to Iowa State. However as soon as he graduated he moved to Denver Colorado. So I can relate to your feelings. Love the mountains, but miss him.
I wanna work on 12 WIPs for NYE, but one hour is not enough so I’m using three days to give two hours to each. My NYE, my rules!!! I didn’t do a word of the year for a couple of years, but this year I had one word rolling around in my mind: RELATIONSHIPS. I want to cultivate my relationships with my hubby, my grown kids, MYSELF, and our finances as we move towards retirement. But most of all, I want to grow my relationship with Jesus!! Happy New Year!!!
Hi Jenn. My rule’s too. I had to take a nap and now I’m ready to stitch some more. My house my rules. Good luck with your new word. I think it’s a perfect word. Happy new year ❤❤❤❤
You ladies are awesome, and once again never disappoint. Just enable. Love the jokes and the poem. Boy how true. I am doing a “hopefully prairie Santa “ once a month. My one nation is or will be done in January. I am so close… back to it on New Year’s Day. Then just whatever I want to do. I could stitch from stash from now until eternity. I also do rug hooking, and wool appliqué along with quilting. Have a blessed 2024 new year.
Loved seeing all your things you plan to stitch in 2024. I decided to do all Blackbirds Designs for my 24 in 2024. I picked one larger project and then I will do a stocking from the monthly series from years ago. I also wanted to do WIPGO so that I could finish one or two of my older projects. So many things to do in cross stitch and I have a boat load of things that need to be quilted on the longarm! Guess I need to get up earlier and stay up later. Look forward to your videos and seeing your progress. Happy New Year to you both. Go Chiefs!!
Hi Renee. It’s cold here in KC. Temperatures will be -9 degrees. Let’s hope it’s too cold for Miami. Thank for watching us and I’ll have my need and thread going Saturday night and a hot bowl of soup. Talk to you soon ❤
Wishing you both a happy day/evening of stitching tomorrow on NYEVE. We have family here so I won't be participating. I'm so glad you are ok, Roberta. What a scary incident, and I'm so glad your husband was there with you. My 24 in 24 is just going to be 24 finishes. I usually have more than that if you count ornaments, so it shouldn't be a problem. I picked out 24 priorities I want to finish. And yes, I do pick a word of the year...last year it was vibrant. This year it is grace. I need to give myself and everyone else more grace. Wishing you both many blessings this year.
We were with family last year so I couldn't do the NYE but are on our own this year so excited to participate! 24 finishes is a great goal! Good luck and Happy New Year!
I have decided for myself that this is the year of the Prairie Schooler. I have ordered the fall sampler patterns and the PS Christmas one that has The Night Before Christmas. Someone posted a finish on FB of The Night Before Christmas and I loved it so I ordered that one as well. I stitched some smalls from the December book and made them into ornaments for my daughter and myself. I have an entire notebook designated to PS Christmas patterns. The rest of my Prairie Schoolers are divided by seasons or holidays. I love stitching them and I have several PS ornaments. Anyway, I could go on and on. I did not do the 12 x 12 as that would have made me crazy. I worked on two WIPS that I want to finish. As for 24 starts I do that anyway. I have stitched a lot of smalls and they add up fast especially stitching ornaments for the grandkiddos. I do want to stitch some larger pieces this year. One of my words for 2024 is intentional. I want to be more intentional about what I stitch. I also want to be more intentional about what I do everyday. Peace is another word that I want to incorporate into my life. Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful projects. I started a new small sampler tonight while watching you and then worked on Christmas WIP I started two or three years ago. And Linnie, your bedtime story is my story. Lol Happy New Year!
Hi Ladies!! Love all your projects and enjoy seeing your progress. Thanks so much for the great shout-out! Hope you both have a good NYE and a very blessed 2024. Hugs! Kristy
Absolutely wonderful again! It’s a very hot muggy wet New Year’s Eve in New Zealand and I am stitching on my Blackbird bird series. Looking forward to seeing your New Year’s Eve stitching next time. Happy new years!!!
Hi Lizzie. It seems like not was hot like that just a few weeks ago. We’ve had one baby snow but as soon as Christmas comes down I’m ready for spring. Enjoy all your stitching and I so wish you a happy new year. It comes to you first ❤❤❤
Happy New Year!!! I’d love to make it a Prairie Schooler Santa year too. So fun to see all your projects. I’m going to continue my word “contentment”. We had our airport mishap in September. Hubby caught his luggage on the escalator. It pulled him back. Thank goodness 2 men caught him before he tumbled backwards. They had to rush and get the escalator stopped. I was traveling with vertigo. Not recommended to do. Son told us we’re only allowed to use the elevator now.
Oh that would be a scary thing. So glad those two guys were paying attention. I know it probably takes more time to get the elevator but the extra time is probably worth it!
Oh no that could have been terrible. Thank goodness there was help. Who would think something like that would happen. I’m working on another PS right now. I so want to make a quilt at the end of the year. Take care and happy new year ❤
Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us. What is the red on Have a Merry Little Christmas. Can you believe a four year old stitched Rosa Sugars????? Wow! Such talent.
Happy New Year!!! Lennie ~ please keep stitching your Promise of Spring by Cottage Garden. It's so pretty! They have the model stitched at Keepsakes in Ohio, and it is beautiful. I also have this pattern, and I need to get it started. Seeing your progress will help motivate me. Thank you for another great video.
Roberta. So glad you’re feeling better after your bout on the plane. Love to see all the fun things that you gals are looking forward to working on. I have a lot of prairie schooler that I am looking forward to working on this year too. Keep up the great videos.
Happy to hear that you are okay, Roberta, after your scary incident on the plane. I hope and your families have a wonderful happy and healthy New Year! ❤️🪡
Something I have tried to teach myself for years... you don't have to be the most productive person in the room to have value, your worth is not connected to how much you do. My word last year was ENOUGH. As in, I have enough and I am enough. Well, I didn't work the word in my favor because I bought so much. I now have waaaaaay more than enough. I think when I shopped, I thought, did I get enough. 😂😅😂 I don't have a word or resolution for this year. 😊 I'm so glad you are better from the airplane incident. Hope you both have a wonderful New Years.
I have to admit I have struggled with comparison and FOMO. From an early age I've always been compelled to stay busy so also trying to resist the urge to fill all my time with activity as I know I benefit from time to sit and reflect. Happy New Year!
I’m finally catching up on flosstube. Happy new year ladies. I’m so glad you’re OK Roberta what an experience over the holiday. Thankfully you were with your husband. I always worry about being alone and something happening. Love seeing all of your projects. I do have a word of the year this year and it’s focus. I really need to use what I have like you. I have so many wips and projects going. I need to go on a chart diet! I think I’ll commit to do only the things I have started or kitted up. I’m really trying to restrain when I see other things come out. I do like to go through all of my things and that’s the plan for the first of the year. It might take a couple months, but I want to really look and see what projects that I have kitted and started if they will actually get stitched, I have way too much to do in a lifetime! Let alone, organizing it all! Lol
Oh I love that phrase, chart diet! Don't we all need to do that! I'm going to start listing some of my pieces that I'll probably not get around to stitching so I don't have so many just sitting on my shelves and hopefully someone else can enjoy it.
Roberta had quite the GReat Christmas Medical Adventure !!Thought for sure she had food poisoning or hit something in the fall....what luck to be just fine today. A holiday to remember forever....!!
First time seeing you two lovely ladies. Sorry you are better, sorry not sure which lady you are. Love the Alphabet's, Prairie Schooler is such a fun designer. HELLO, Good Evening from Carolann in Duluth, Minnesota ❤❤😊
Thank you for joining us today Carolann. My name is Linnie. I am stitching all three Prairie Schoolers. Roberta likes to stitch all the samplers and was the one who got ill on the plane. We really try to inspire you and hope to make you smile. We hope you join us again. We will be filming again next week. Hope you are staying warm and enjoying some stitching. Take care ❤
Happy New Year 🕛🎊 Roberta I'm happy you are feeling better that would have sacred me as well. Linnie some of your Prairie Schoolers stitch and put them on a quilted sham or on pillows. Just a thought. Hopefully I'll be able to stitch more this year. Love watching you both 💖
Hi Diane. Hope to get enough Prairie Schooler santas to make a quilt. We will see. Thanks for watching. It’s cold here so -9 wind chill. Hope it’s warmer where you are ❤
I love seeing your projects and hearing your plans. You two are always so much fun to spend time with. I hope your New Year's stitching went as planned.
I so enjoy you ladies. Happy New Year! My word for the year is “flow” I intend to not go with the flow, rather flow with my whims and adjust the flow as necessary.
I was looking at the HATS website today and especially the Mrs Campbell sampler. I’ve had it kitted up but never started for a couple of years now. There are three corrections on that sampler listed on the website. I’m going to check my chart today. Thought I would mention it just in case your chart was one of the first print runs. Always enjoy watching you both and especially WIP parades!!! ❤❤ Barbara
Thanks for the heads up on that Barbara! I'd better check that out as well, although I'm afraid it will be awhile before I can get back to this beauty!
Glad you are alright, Roberta. What a scary thing to happen. Linnie, I love all your New Year's stitching plans. I made it 11 hours. Loved the WIP parade.
Roberta you had quite the scare but so glad you are okay now. You and Lennie are favorite floss tubers I watch and catch the fever when you do WIP parades😁 Happy New Year and happy stitching of your stash this next year. I plan to whittle down my WIPs and make fewer new starts for 2024 so I free up some project bags ha ha😁
Thanks so much for the very sweet comment Nancy! I think the same thing about freeing up some project bags. I need to do that instead of just adding to my supply.
Linnie, the stitch with the skiing snowman that says “snow fun” is part of a series by Lizzie Kate. Colors were changed. I did mine with the called for colors. I’d attach a picture of my finished piece but not sure if that’s possible under comments.
Thank you Jane! I don't think I've ever seen anyone post a photo in comments but if you want to email it to me at Sablestitcher22@gmail.com I'll forward it to Linnie.
Hello my dear friend. We sure missed you the other night. I hope all is going better. I wish you health and happiness and stitching galore. Take care ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I really enjoy your videos. Hey Roberta i have a great tip to mark the fabric to show the right side up. Take a tiny snip off the upper left top of the fabric... a little triangle.. and you will always remember which side is the top. I have been doing this for years. I read it somewhere. 😊
Sorry to hear about your episode, Roberta, but glad you’re feeling better now. I still have some Cat’s Meow figures but not on display any more. You gals are both so ambitious with your stitching plans! I can only handle one WIP at a time. Hope you both have a healthy, happy new year! 🎉🎉🍾
Hi Leslie. Happy New Year. I still have my Cats Meow. My husband bought me the twelve days of Christmas many years ago and we have quite a collection of various holidays and the church we were married. I keep them above our door mantles. ❤
Yes, I never thought I'd have this many WIPs going at once but it is fun seeing a little progress on several at once. Thank you for the well wishes, it was a scary end to our travel!
Happy New year to both of you. Roberta that sweater is perfect for you. Last year was the first time hearing about a word of the year. I just want to learn some new things (talents) this year.
You ladies are so much fun !! If I ever get to go to a cross stitch retreat, I want to sit with you gals! We might get some stitching done, but laugh most of the time. Happy New Year !
You two crack me up. I think the 1984 Prairie Schooler chart was .50 when I bought it that year. If you lay out the charts in order, you will find they are somewhat themed for several years in a row. She did sports, animals, sewing themes. I can’t wait to see which ones you finally landed on for the quilt. Happy New Year and happy stitching!
Another great floss tube. I’ve been planning my 2024 projects in December and one series I am starting is Nora Corbett’s Christmas Eve Couriers. Eight reindeers, Santa’s sleigh and Rudolph. I figure I can do one each month and I plan to make a mantle piece with the designs. Oof! Assembling the beads and specialty threads is taking some time but it will be my first Nora Corbett design. Happy New Year and keep warm!
Thank God Roberta is fine after the airplane incident. It is great to know that you enjoyed Christmas with your families!!! I wish you a very Happy New Year full of health and stitchy days.
After seeing your Christmas patches Santa, I dug out my pattern and stitched away.Years ago I stitched the ornaments but left Santa behind. the nice thing about stitching the patches, is that if a stitch or two is out of place, it’s not noticeable because of the uneven patches. Thanks for inspiring me. Love all of your stitches and enjoy spending time w/the both of you. How’s Ike?
Hi Eva. So happy you brought Patches out. Yes it is a forgiving stitch. It’s fun to bring out older patterns to remind us how much we loved them when we bought them. Ike is doing ok. Still can’t get wounds to close. We’ve missed the last two doctors appt due to the snow. Can’t get him out and afraid he will fall. We do have home health so we can change his dressing. Thank you so much for asking. Please take care and happy stitching ❤
Happy New Year! I’m glad you’re feeling better Roberta. Happiness and health to you and yours! ❤ My 5 year old grandson asked me if I love him so much, why did I move to Florida? They are just precious!
Happy New Year ladies, I hope 2024 is full of blessing for you both. My word of the year for 2023 was Simplicity and I am still deciding for 2024, I am leaning toward contentment or content. I am starting 2024 with the goal of stitching what is in my stash, I have a ton of stuff and do not need to buy anything. Thanks Janine
Contentment is a good word and something I do try to strive for, but obviously fall short since I keep buying more stitching stuff! Am definitely planning to be somewhat more disciplined in 2024!
You are one of my favorite videos to watch! Besides cheerful and being good friends, I love the patterns and projects you show and are such an inspiration. I loved the first picture of the fall scene you showed that Linnie just had framed at Hobby Lobby. Good job! I just finished Christmas Quaker ll and had it framed at HL with same frame. I love it! Sorry to hear, Roberta, about your trip home and glad you are ok. What an experience! Glad your husband was with you. Linnie, you mentioned today of being a Kansas girl...choosing a sunflower Prairie Schooler. I'm a Kansas girl, too...and born on Kansas Day. I was wondering what town you grew up in? I'm from Stafford, a small farm community, went to K-State and Ft. Hays but now living in Texas. Happy New Year to you both.
Hi Mary. I grew up in Kansas City Kansas and my husband went to KSU. My daughter went to KSU and now my old grandson will attend next year. We are so happy for him. Please come to KC we’d love to visit and I could show you some great cross stitch places. Thank you for watching and wish you a very happy and blessed new year ❤❤❤
Happy New Years to you both. Roberta I am so glad that you are feeling better. Such excitement on your way home. My plans is to participate in the 24 for 2024 so I have been lining up my projects. I love watching both your whips and getting idea on what to add to my list. Have a wonderful New Years and be safe.
Yes, learned that altitude and dehydration don't mix well. I have so many things I'd like to start in 2024 but also want to whittle down my WIP pile so trying to choose wisely!
Happy New Year ! Glad your feeling better Roberta maybe you need to xtitch more😂. Wonderful to see all the wips and plans forthe New Year. I am getting exciting watching your plans. I am going to do what I love and plug along. Happy Stitching. Happy Healthy New Year!!!!
Yes, hoping to get more stitching time in over the quiet winter months! I'm such a planning geek and love the videos that come out at this time of year!
Just to let you know how much I enjoy your video’s. Your cheer always makes me smile. Love looking at all the small notions behind you, trying to envision the rest of the room. Wel, in short 😊, thank you! Have a Happy, healthy 2024 with lots off stitches!
Roberta I’m so pleased to hear you are ok after being ill on the plane. Happy New Year to you both and can’t wait to see what you both get up to with your stitching in 2024
Hi, Happy New Year! I also like Prairie Schooler lately. I bought quite a few last year. One i bought was “prairie Lodge”. You may want to look that one up…..it’s very woodsy smalls. I, however, am doing a one piece with them (a grouping)…..as i stitch it, i will design the edging as i go along. So far so good…..i have the deer done, lol.
So good to see you ladies Love your stories But Roberta I'm so sorry about your trauma But I'm so glad you're ok Prayers for a Happy Blessed Healthy New Year
Enjoyed the video today, Girls, and going through your WIPS. It’s always enabling to watch a WIP parade. Linnie, I am stitching along with the #NorthPole SAL also and using Vickie Clayton’s too. Loving it!! Oh and January is #2 in the assignments. Roberta, I love your new start-“A Heart Remembers.” I stitched that in memory of my son this last year. I thought it was the most beautiful chart ever created. Hope you girls have a very Happy New Year and I’ll see you in the year to come!
I’m so sorry about the loss of your son. I can’t even imagine. The North Pole is a great stitch. I started at the top and started working down. The border is almost finished and I have many trees done and down to Santa’s face. I have the assignment now so I will try to get on track. Please take care and have a blessed new year ❤
I am so sorry for your loss Carlene. It is such a beautiful chart and I wanted to start it on NYE, especially knowing how special it is to you. But I want to do it justice and now I'm thinking I'll start that in February.
Happy New Year ladies! Hope you enjoy your 12 x 12! Roberta, I'm so sorry to hear about your mishap on the plane. I hope you're feeling much better! You've had some weird experiences flying this year! Be well!
Hi Maureen. I did the 12 hours but I enjoyed working on four or five. I was seeing so much progress I couldn’t put them down. We will share next week. Happy new year ❤
Yes, there are always adventures when traveling! It did take a few days to bounce back and I was really worried about falling again for awhile, but think I've gotten past that.
I am excited to see your Prairie Schooler projects this year, Linny. Like the two of you, I have so many projects I want to do, but since I'm a monogamous stitcher, I sure better live as long as my father! I'm 73 and he is turning 107 in two weeks. He still lives in his own home and cooks his breakfast every morning. I love all of your work as well as the videos you do for all of us. Happy New Year to each of you!!!
I know what you mean about the new year coming because I have so many stitching kits to do just went thru them to group likes together going to stitch all my snowmen now even if here in Michigan we have had only 3 in this year ❤️👀🤩🎉Happy New Year 🎉👀🎉👀🎉👀🎉
My word for this new year will be Believe, I don’t do resolutions because I always break it. I so Love seeing you girls,I asked my husband if he would be going to Kansas City ant this year,I’d like to go so maybe I could meet you girls
Happy New year. I love watching you both. Linnie you showed a thrift sampler a few videos ago I think it was a shaker trustees house Margaret and Margaret Inc designs by Margaret McKee from1988. Elaine S from Menominee MI
My goodness! That was a fiasco at the airport! Glad you are well now. Thank you for the birthday shoutout, Roberta! I’m happy you are joining us! I love the pattern you chose. I’m speechless at all your projects! You know me, happy as can be with my two WIPS but get a kick out of seeing your abundance of patterns. I just love mine too much to start and put down and move to another. Happy stitching and Happy New Year!
Roberta, I’m so glad you’re doing better. Thank you ladies for a wonderful flosstube. God bless you both and your families in the upcoming year. Happy New Year. ❤
Ladies thank you for sharing. Roberta so glad you're feeling better. Very scary when you're sick and not at home. Ladies a very happy and healthy new year to you and your families 🎉!
Happy New Years Mrs. Lenny and Mrs. Roberta! “Don’t say anything…” 😂 wishing you both another year of a beautiful friendship filled with all the laughter!!!! Big hugs!
Roberta! I can’t imagine being sick like that while traveling! Glad you made it home safely and are feeling better! Linnie, I think you’ll just have to make a bigger Santa quilt! How can you possibly choose??!! Stitch them all!!!! It was so good to watch your video today! Happy New Year! ❤️❤️
Wow! Roberta, that was quite a scare you had on the airplane! So glad there wasn’t anything seriously wrong! Lennie, I like your idea of stitching the Prairie Schooler Santa’s and turning it into a quilt! I have seen that done before and love it! You have some ambitious plans for 2024! I like having a word of the year. I haven’t done that before. I’ll have to think on it! Happy New Year to you both!
Sherri, Colorado Cross Stitcher talks a lot about having a word of the year. She does a pillow every year with her word on it so she has something around as a constant reminder.
Your video made my evening so happy. You both are such a pleasure to watch. Your stitching is so beautiful and your projects are all so pretty. Thank you both for another wonderful video. Happy stitching and Happy New Year!
We had a quiet Christmas. I saw the cute family PJs pic. OMG Roberta, glad you're okay, and that hubby was with you. "Snow Fun" is from the Lizzie Kate "6 Fat Men" series. My word for 2024 is Conscientious !!! I've organized so much the past few weeks, I'm ready to roll. Happy New Year to you Both, happy stitching!!!
Thank you for the good long visit. I saved your video these last two weeks for a morning when I could hunker in and enjoy it throughly, knowing it would be a good one. I've watched many other flosstubes I've never watched before. You gave so many suggestions, and I wrote them all down. Happiest 2024 ladies! 🎉❤🪡 🎉❤ 🪡
Thank you Kristina for your kind comments. We are so happy we inspired and enSABLEd you and maybe left you with a smile. Happy new year ❤ and happy stitching
There are so many great flosstubes! It's fun to watch those that stitch similar things but also good to see other styles of stitching.
Dear Lennie and Roberta, have a very blessed 2024. May God bless you and your families in the coming days. My wish for you is to always find the perfect stitch and complete it with laughter, among those you love. God bless my two favorite people on u-tube.
Thank you so much for the very kind remarks Debra! Happy New Year to you as well!
Hi Debra. Thank you for your kind comments. We wish you the same. Let’s pray for a blessed and Happy New Year ❤
Lennie, I stitched dear daughter of mine, finished it in December for my daughters birthday on the 23; it finished to about 8 inches, framed it in a 12 inch square gold frame, turned out beautiful. Should have started it in July. 😂. Love you all, Roberta so glad you are feeling better. Looking forward to you all this year, you keep me company with lots of beautiful stitching and laughs. Best always.
Thank you Beverly. I have two to make so I better get right on it. I was happy to see it wasn’t too big. I bet the gold frames was gorgeous.
I appreciate the kind words Beverly!
Another wonderful video ladies, always happy to sit down with my stitching (or drag my butt to the treadmill), and enjoy seeing all that you stitch and share with us. I am so glad you are feeling better Roberta and sorry you had that scary experience on your flight home. Looking forward to seeing your Prairie Schooler stitching Lennie, I too have collected many of their designs since the 1980's and decided I need to put a dent in them this year as well. Wishing you both a happy, healthy and productive stitching year ahead! :)
It's fun hearing how many people have been collecting their designs for so many years! I have a feeling we are going to see a lot of Prairie Schooler stitching in the coming year!
❤ thank you for joining us. I’m working on another Prairie Schooler for my quilt. They bring comfort stitching on this cold cold day. Windchills-26
I love that you love Prairie Schooler. It is one of my favorite. I made a quilt out of 12 days of Santas. I have a Prairie Schooler wall. There is about 50 of them. Glad Roberta was alright on the plane. My biggest fear to need a Dr on a flight. I am a retired nurse. And fly byself quite a bit. Love Prairie year! I have done various ones bit not all. Love the video!
.I wanted to do 12 on new year eve but my granddaughter will be here. I did it last year. I liked it. I have no daughters but my daughter in law started cross stitching. We spent 3days at Christmas stitching watching Dr martin and drinking tea. I was in heaven.
That’s exciting your granddaughter is learning and I would love to see your quilt. I’m just going to keep stitching them. They are definitely my comfort stitching. Happy new year ❤
Sounds like a wonderful Christmas holiday! My husband and I have been binge watching the last few seasons of Doc Martin. Wouldn't you love to live in that village! I was relieved that we were only 30 minutes from landing when I got sick. My supervisor got very ill coming home from a mission trip in Africa and I was thinking how miserable and scary it would be to have such a long flight ahead when feeling so sick.
Hurray Roberta and Linnie! Glad you are okay Roberta!, Thank you for sharing your beautiful works ! Linnie , your stories and humor are awesome, always makes me chuckle! Love your flosstubes and sharing your stories and plans and education and all the things! So happy I retired this year, so now I can stitch and be inspired by your each!! Happy New Year and enjoy all you can!! Hugs, Anna
Congrats on retirement Anna! I know you will love it as much as I do! Still have to pinch myself that I'm actually retired!
Hi Anna. Congratulations on your retirement. I see lots of stitching in your future. Thank you for your kind words and we wish you a very happy and blessed New Year ❤
Happy New Year! I so look forward to seeing your flosstubes! Happy stitching!
Thank you. Happy stitching ❤
Enjoyed catching up with you both today. So many beautiful stitches! Happy New Year!🎉 Blessings for a wonderful year! Happy stitching all the things!
Happy New Year Merritt! There's so many lovely designs and never enough time to stitch them all!
Hi Merritt Was so happy to watch your video. You are so inspiring. Wishing you the best of 2024
Wow, so sorry to hear about your medical scare, Roberta, but how fortunate that your husband was with you and the airline and medical staff were so helpful. I'm glad that there have been no serious aftereffects.
Thank for a wonderful year of flosstube goodness. You closed out 2023 with a bang. (I thought for a moment that this episode might need a parental guidance warning, tho. 😆 )
Sending best wishes for happiness and good health to you and your families in 2024. Take care.
Thank you for spending time with us! Happy New Year.
We hope to continue to inspire and enable and keep you smiling. Happy New Year ❤
Happy New Year ladies🎉🎉. 2 of my FFO's for 2023 were Daughter of Mine and Mrs Campbell both a joy to do. As we have 2 daughters, (1 now a Campbell ) the incentive was there to finish them and our girls love them. My word for 2024 is Breathe. Just to stop and breathe in whats around me as life can be bit hectic sometimes. Love your floss tubes. Looking forward to more.
Sounds like perfect projects for your family! I love your word of the year! It's so easy to get carried away by a momentary glitch.
What a great word. I tell myself that sometimes. I think I forget sometimes. Wishing you the best of 2024❤
I was excited to hear Linnie say that her grandson was dating an ISU student. Both my husband and I graduated from Iowa State. And Roberta I am glad that you did not get a concussion from your fall. I hope that your New Years are off to a great start. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful needlework.
I grew up a Hawkeye fan but hoped our older son would consider Iowa State since he was an engineering major, but instead he went to Colorado State and never came back. Wish he lived closer although visiting Colorado is always fun!
Our youngest son went to Iowa State. However as soon as he graduated he moved to Denver Colorado. So I can relate to your feelings. Love the mountains, but miss him.
Hi Deb. Yes he is but he’s going to KSU. I went to Ward High School and they were also the Cyclones. Small world. Enjoy your stitching and stay warm❤
Thank you. We are having a blizzard now in central Iowa. So I stitching under my blanket! @@linnieisenburg520 😃
I've enjoyed listening today as I'm stitching on Any Town Tiny Town.
So many great Tiny Town projects! I have Honey of a Tiny Town kitted and want to get it done this year.
Hi Glee. I love all the tiny towns. I’m working on the honey town. Have fun and happy new year ❤
I hope you too, and your families have a happy, healthy and blessed 2024 🎉
Thank you Sheila. We wish the happiest memories in 2024 ❤
Thank you so much Sheila! Are you getting the awful winter weather as well? Hope you are staying warm and enjoying some good stitching time.
I wanna work on 12 WIPs for NYE, but one hour is not enough so I’m using three days to give two hours to each. My NYE, my rules!!!
I didn’t do a word of the year for a couple of years, but this year I had one word rolling around in my mind: RELATIONSHIPS. I want to cultivate my relationships with my hubby, my grown kids, MYSELF, and our finances as we move towards retirement. But most of all, I want to grow my relationship with Jesus!!
Happy New Year!!!
Hi Jenn. My rule’s too. I had to take a nap and now I’m ready to stitch some more. My house my rules. Good luck with your new word. I think it’s a perfect word. Happy new year ❤❤❤❤
Sounds like a good plan! Hope it went well. Good choice for a word of the year and I love your explanation!
You ladies are awesome, and once again never disappoint. Just enable. Love the jokes and the poem. Boy how true. I am doing a “hopefully prairie Santa “ once a month. My one nation is or will be done in January. I am so close… back to it on New Year’s Day. Then just whatever I want to do. I could stitch from stash from now until eternity. I also do rug hooking, and wool appliqué along with quilting. Have a blessed 2024 new year.
Stitching what you love is always a good idea! Happy New Year Penny!
You like all the fun stuff. Enjoy it all and like Roberta said so what makes you happy. ❤❤❤
Loved the visit and the company. Sending love and joy to you both for a happy and healthy new year.
Thank you Sarah. Blessings to you in 2024 ❤
Sorry, I'm so behind in commenting! Hope your new year is going well!
Loved seeing all your things you plan to stitch in 2024. I decided to do all Blackbirds Designs for my 24 in 2024. I picked one larger project and then I will do a stocking from the monthly series from years ago. I also wanted to do WIPGO so that I could finish one or two of my older projects. So many things to do in cross stitch and I have a boat load of things that need to be quilted on the longarm! Guess I need to get up earlier and stay up later. Look forward to your videos and seeing your progress. Happy New Year to you both. Go Chiefs!!
I love hearing about everyone's plans! It was a delight stitching Blackbird on NYE. Yes, if only we didn't need sleep!
Hi Renee. It’s cold here in KC. Temperatures will be -9 degrees. Let’s hope it’s too cold for Miami. Thank for watching us and I’ll have my need and thread going Saturday night and a hot bowl of soup. Talk to you soon ❤
Wishing you both a happy day/evening of stitching tomorrow on NYEVE. We have family here so I won't be participating. I'm so glad you are ok, Roberta. What a scary incident, and I'm so glad your husband was there with you. My 24 in 24 is just going to be 24 finishes. I usually have more than that if you count ornaments, so it shouldn't be a problem. I picked out 24 priorities I want to finish. And yes, I do pick a word of the year...last year it was vibrant. This year it is grace. I need to give myself and everyone else more grace. Wishing you both many blessings this year.
We were with family last year so I couldn't do the NYE but are on our own this year so excited to participate! 24 finishes is a great goal! Good luck and Happy New Year!
I have decided for myself that this is the year of the Prairie Schooler. I have ordered the fall sampler patterns and the PS Christmas one that has The Night Before Christmas. Someone posted a finish on FB of The Night Before Christmas and I loved it so I ordered that one as well. I stitched some smalls from the December book and made them into ornaments for my daughter and myself. I have an entire notebook designated to PS Christmas patterns. The rest of my Prairie Schoolers are divided by seasons or holidays. I love stitching them and I have several PS ornaments. Anyway, I could go on and on. I did not do the 12 x 12 as that would have made me crazy. I worked on two WIPS that I want to finish. As for 24 starts I do that anyway. I have stitched a lot of smalls and they add up fast especially stitching ornaments for the grandkiddos. I do want to stitch some larger pieces this year. One of my words for 2024 is intentional. I want to be more intentional about what I stitch. I also want to be more intentional about what I do everyday. Peace is another word that I want to incorporate into my life. Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful projects. I started a new small sampler tonight while watching you and then worked on Christmas WIP I started two or three years ago. And Linnie, your bedtime story is my story. Lol Happy New Year!
Hi Ladies!! Love all your projects and enjoy seeing your progress. Thanks so much for the great shout-out! Hope you both have a good NYE and a very blessed 2024. Hugs! Kristy
Hope you've had a wonderful holiday season as well Kristy! Always amazed at all you get done between videos and love seeing your wonderful home tours.
Hi Kristy. Thank you. All of your holidays were awesome. Your home is so lovely. Happy new year.
Absolutely wonderful again! It’s a very hot muggy wet New Year’s Eve in New Zealand and I am stitching on my Blackbird bird series. Looking forward to seeing your New Year’s Eve stitching next time. Happy new years!!!
That will be us in a few months! Happy New Year Lizzy!
Hi Lizzie. It seems like not was hot like that just a few weeks ago. We’ve had one baby snow but as soon as Christmas comes down I’m ready for spring. Enjoy all your stitching and I so wish you a happy new year. It comes to you first ❤❤❤
You ladies crack me up! My resolution is to get good progress on some of my bigger WIPs. I am so glad you liked the floss drops!
Thanks again Alicia! Yes, that is my hope as well for the coming year!
Thank you Alicia that was so thoughtful. I wish you a very happy new year and thank you for watching ❤❤❤
Happy New Year!!! I’d love to make it a Prairie Schooler Santa year too. So fun to see all your projects. I’m going to continue my word “contentment”. We had our airport mishap in September. Hubby caught his luggage on the escalator. It pulled him back. Thank goodness 2 men caught him before he tumbled backwards. They had to rush and get the escalator stopped. I was traveling with vertigo. Not recommended to do. Son told us we’re only allowed to use the elevator now.
Oh that would be a scary thing. So glad those two guys were paying attention. I know it probably takes more time to get the elevator but the extra time is probably worth it!
Oh no that could have been terrible. Thank goodness there was help. Who would think something like that would happen. I’m working on another PS right now. I so want to make a quilt at the end of the year. Take care and happy new year ❤
Fun to see and hear what you are up to! Thank you sweet friends!
Thank you for spending time with us Elizabeth! Happy New Year!
Thank you for watching Elizabeth ❤
Happy New Year! Thank you for sharing your time and talents with us. What is the red on Have a Merry Little Christmas. Can you believe a four year old stitched Rosa Sugars????? Wow! Such talent.
That’s definitely why I wanted to do her. If at four she can do it so can I. Happy new year ❤
Hi Sharon, I'm away from home and will have to check on that. It was floss from my stash but can't remember what it is!
Happy New Year!!! Lennie ~ please keep stitching your Promise of Spring by Cottage Garden. It's so pretty! They have the model stitched at Keepsakes in Ohio, and it is beautiful. I also have this pattern, and I need to get it started. Seeing your progress will help motivate me. Thank you for another great video.
Thanks for the support. I will. Happy new year❤
Roberta. So glad you’re feeling better after your bout on the plane. Love to see all the fun things that you gals are looking forward to working on. I have a lot of prairie schooler that I am looking forward to working on this year too. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you for the words of encouragement Chris Ann! We will see you again soon!
Y’all😂 the Lucy & Ethel of Cross-stitch! Happy & Blessed 2024 🎇
That’s too cute. Now where’s my chocolates hahahaha
Love it! Wishing you a Happy New Year as well!
Happy to hear that you are okay, Roberta, after your scary incident on the plane. I hope and your families have a wonderful happy and healthy New Year! ❤️🪡
Thank you for the well wishes! Happy New Year!
❤
Something I have tried to teach myself for years... you don't have to be the most productive person in the room to have value, your worth is not connected to how much you do.
My word last year was ENOUGH. As in, I have enough and I am enough. Well, I didn't work the word in my favor because I bought so much. I now have waaaaaay more than enough. I think when I shopped, I thought, did I get enough. 😂😅😂
I don't have a word or resolution for this year. 😊
I'm so glad you are better from the airplane incident. Hope you both have a wonderful New Years.
I have to admit I have struggled with comparison and FOMO. From an early age I've always been compelled to stay busy so also trying to resist the urge to fill all my time with activity as I know I benefit from time to sit and reflect. Happy New Year!
I’m finally catching up on flosstube. Happy new year ladies. I’m so glad you’re OK Roberta what an experience over the holiday. Thankfully you were with your husband. I always worry about being alone and something happening. Love seeing all of your projects. I do have a word of the year this year and it’s focus. I really need to use what I have like you. I have so many wips and projects going. I need to go on a chart diet! I think I’ll commit to do only the things I have started or kitted up. I’m really trying to restrain when I see other things come out. I do like to go through all of my things and that’s the plan for the first of the year. It might take a couple months, but I want to really look and see what projects that I have kitted and started if they will actually get stitched, I have way too much to do in a lifetime! Let alone, organizing it all! Lol
Oh I love that phrase, chart diet! Don't we all need to do that! I'm going to start listing some of my pieces that I'll probably not get around to stitching so I don't have so many just sitting on my shelves and hopefully someone else can enjoy it.
@@Roberta.SABLEStitchers yes I’m doing that this next week. Finally get to Christmas put away!! Happy stitches
I think we all are looking at our stash and rethinking some projects. Thanks for joining us. Happy stitching and happy New Year ❤
Roberta, so glad you are feeling better. 😊
I'm working on being less of a procrastinator this year!
Procrastination is easy. I tell myself to get up and clean my room. Haha. Thanks for watching. ❤
Thank you so much Laurie! I could use help with less procrastinating as well!
Roberta, I'm so happy you are feeling better. I enjoyed seeing your WIPs and hearing your New Year plans. Happy New Year 🎉
Thanks so much Lisa! I love a good planning video so happy to hear your feedback!
Thank you Lisa. We wish you a very Happy New Year ❤
Roberta had quite the GReat Christmas Medical Adventure !!Thought for sure she had food poisoning or hit something in the fall....what luck to be just fine today.
A holiday to remember forever....!!
❤ thank goodness she’s tough
I thought it was food poisoning too, but they said it was too soon for me to be that sick. Plus, I ended up with chills so think it was a virus.
First time seeing you two lovely ladies. Sorry you are better, sorry not sure which lady you are. Love the Alphabet's, Prairie Schooler is such a fun designer. HELLO, Good Evening from Carolann in Duluth, Minnesota ❤❤😊
Thank you for joining us today Carolann. My name is Linnie. I am stitching all three Prairie Schoolers. Roberta likes to stitch all the samplers and was the one who got ill on the plane. We really try to inspire you and hope to make you smile. We hope you join us again. We will be filming again next week. Hope you are staying warm and enjoying some stitching. Take care ❤
Thank you for joining us and commenting Carol! We love this community and hope you will join us again!
Enjoyed Lots! Happy happy New Year to both of you and your families! Roberta, so glad you are better; what a scare. My word of the Year 'Contentment
That’s a very good word. That’s what’s on my Amish saying and I bought it for that reason. Happy new year
Thank you for spending time with us Ranae! Contentment is a great word!
Happy New Year 🕛🎊 Roberta I'm happy you are feeling better that would have sacred me as well. Linnie some of your Prairie Schoolers stitch and put them on a quilted sham or on pillows. Just a thought. Hopefully I'll be able to stitch more this year. Love watching you both 💖
Thanks for the kind thoughts Diane!
Hi Diane. Hope to get enough Prairie Schooler santas to make a quilt. We will see. Thanks for watching. It’s cold here so -9 wind chill. Hope it’s warmer where you are ❤
So thankful you are ok!,, and both if you are such a delight! Love all your stitching!,
Thank you so much for the well wishes! Happy New Year!
Love your flosstube, ladies. Thanks for another good episode! Happy New Year!
Thank you Anne. Happy new year ❤
I love seeing your projects and hearing your plans. You two are always so much fun to spend time with. I hope your New Year's stitching went as planned.
Hi Emmy Rose. Happy new year 🎊. Thank you for sharing time with us ❤
I so enjoy you ladies. Happy New Year!
My word for the year is “flow”
I intend to not go with the flow, rather flow with my whims and adjust the flow as necessary.
What a great word and philosophy. I wish you the best of 2024 ❤
It's good to be flexible and probably causes less stress. That's a great word!
Great projects ladies!
Happy New Year!
Marilyn
Happy New Year!
Thank you Marilyn. Happy new year ❤
I was looking at the HATS website today and especially the Mrs Campbell sampler. I’ve had it kitted up but never started for a couple of years now. There are three corrections on that sampler listed on the website. I’m going to check my chart today. Thought I would mention it just in case your chart was one of the first print runs. Always enjoy watching you both and especially WIP parades!!! ❤❤
Barbara
Thanks for the heads up on that Barbara! I'd better check that out as well, although I'm afraid it will be awhile before I can get back to this beauty!
Your videos never disappoint!! Wishing you both a happy and healthy New Year !
Thank you so much for the encouraging words Pam! Happy New Year to you as well!
Thank you Pam. Happy New Year ❤
As always a fun video. No I guess I really don't know you girls, but I feel like I do. Feel like friends. Happy New Year and bunches of stitching
Thank you so much for spending time with us Mary Lou! Happy stitching in 2024.
Thank you MaryLou. You can call us anytime. Thank you for your support. Hugs to you ❤
Glad you are alright, Roberta. What a scary thing to happen. Linnie, I love all your New Year's stitching plans. I made it 11 hours. Loved the WIP parade.
I think you fly a lot too Dottie so you can imagine what that would be like! I'm planning to stay in my seat on my next flight!
Roberta you had quite the scare but so glad you are okay now. You and Lennie are favorite floss tubers I watch and catch the fever when you do WIP parades😁 Happy New Year and happy stitching of your stash this next year. I plan to whittle down my WIPs and make fewer new starts for 2024 so I free up some project bags ha ha😁
Thanks so much for the very sweet comment Nancy! I think the same thing about freeing up some project bags. I need to do that instead of just adding to my supply.
Linnie, the stitch with the skiing snowman that says “snow fun” is part of a series by Lizzie Kate. Colors were changed. I did mine with the called for colors. I’d attach a picture of my finished piece but not sure if that’s possible under comments.
Oh thank you a Jane for letting me
Know.
Thank you Jane! I don't think I've ever seen anyone post a photo in comments but if you want to email it to me at Sablestitcher22@gmail.com I'll forward it to Linnie.
Happy New Year, Ladies!!! 🪡🧵🪡✂️✂️✂️🥳🎊🎉❄️❄️❄️💕💕
Hello my dear friend. We sure missed you the other night. I hope all is going better. I wish you health and happiness and stitching galore. Take care ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Happy New Year Cathy! Hope we can catch up again soon!
I really enjoy your videos. Hey Roberta i have a great tip to mark the fabric to show the right side up. Take a tiny snip off the upper left top of the fabric... a little triangle.. and you will always remember which side is the top. I have been doing this for years. I read it somewhere. 😊
That's a great tip! I will have to try this on some of my projects that have a uniform border!
Happy New Year Ladies! Roberta, glad you are ok! What a scare that had to have been.
Thank you so much Terri! Yes, it was a scare but having so many kind people helping me made me know things would be ok.
Happy New Year ❤
Sorry to hear about your episode, Roberta, but glad you’re feeling better now. I still have some Cat’s Meow figures but not on display any more. You gals are both so ambitious with your stitching plans! I can only handle one WIP at a time. Hope you both have a healthy, happy new year! 🎉🎉🍾
Hi Leslie. Happy New Year. I still have my Cats Meow. My husband bought me the twelve days of Christmas many years ago and we have quite a collection of various holidays and the church we were married. I keep them above our door mantles. ❤
Yes, I never thought I'd have this many WIPs going at once but it is fun seeing a little progress on several at once. Thank you for the well wishes, it was a scary end to our travel!
Happy New year to both of you. Roberta that sweater is perfect for you. Last year was the first time hearing about a word of the year. I just want to learn some new things (talents) this year.
Thanks so much! I love clothing, especially sweaters, that hold up well from year to year like this one has. I love learning new things too!
Hi Lorie. So happy you joined us. I just enjoy stitching so much and I know I have learned a lot in these past two years. Always do what you like ❤
You ladies are so much fun !! If I ever get to go to a cross stitch retreat, I want to sit with you gals! We might get some stitching done, but laugh most of the time. Happy New Year !
I hope we get to meet. We will have a great time for sure ❤
We would probably get into a lot of trouble LOL!
You two crack me up. I think the 1984 Prairie Schooler chart was .50 when I bought it that year. If you lay out the charts in order, you will find they are somewhat themed for several years in a row. She did sports, animals, sewing themes. I can’t wait to see which ones you finally landed on for the quilt. Happy New Year and happy stitching!
Interesting point Vicki! I never heard that before. Yes, amazing how inexpensive they were originally!
Happy New Year to both of you Have a good 2 weeks 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰
Thanks Sandy. I hope you have a very happy 2024❤
I really enjoyed your video thank you ladies! No New Year’s resolution
Thank you for your kind words Susan!
❤
Another great floss tube. I’ve been planning my 2024 projects in December and one series I am starting is Nora Corbett’s Christmas Eve Couriers. Eight reindeers, Santa’s sleigh and Rudolph. I figure I can do one each month and I plan to make a mantle piece with the designs. Oof! Assembling the beads and specialty threads is taking some time but it will be my first Nora Corbett design. Happy New Year and keep warm!
I had to look this up and it will be absolutely stunning Donna! I wouldn't want to put this away after Christmas.
Thank God Roberta is fine after the airplane incident. It is great to know that you enjoyed Christmas with your families!!! I wish you a very Happy New Year full of health and stitchy days.
Hi Laura. So nice to visit again. Your pictures are beautiful on Instagram. Take care and hope to talk again soon. Happy New Year ❤
Thanks so much Laura! We hope you have a Happy New Year as well!
Great video ladies! See you next year & maybe fine more time to stitch!🤣
After seeing your Christmas patches Santa, I dug out my pattern and stitched away.Years ago I stitched the ornaments but left Santa behind. the nice thing about stitching the patches, is that if a stitch or two is out of place, it’s not noticeable because of the uneven patches. Thanks for inspiring me. Love all of your stitches and enjoy spending time w/the both of you. How’s Ike?
Hi Eva. So happy you brought Patches out. Yes it is a forgiving stitch. It’s fun to bring out older patterns to remind us how much we loved them when we bought them. Ike is doing ok. Still can’t get wounds to close. We’ve missed the last two doctors appt due to the snow. Can’t get him out and afraid he will fall. We do have home health so we can change his dressing. Thank you so much for asking. Please take care and happy stitching ❤
Love you both! Beautiful ladies!! 😍😊
Happy New Year!! 🎉
Happy New Year Courtney and happy stitching 🧵 ❤
Happy New Year! I’m glad you’re feeling better Roberta. Happiness and health to you and yours! ❤ My 5 year old grandson asked me if I love him so much, why did I move to Florida? They are just precious!
These little ones are so perceptive and love hearing their perspectives. Happy New Year to you!
Happy New Year to you both and looking forward to seeing you in the new year.
Happy New Year ladies, I hope 2024 is full of blessing for you both. My word of the year for 2023 was Simplicity and I am still deciding for 2024, I am leaning toward contentment or content. I am starting 2024 with the goal of stitching what is in my stash, I have a ton of stuff and do not need to buy anything. Thanks Janine
Contentment is a good word and something I do try to strive for, but obviously fall short since I keep buying more stitching stuff! Am definitely planning to be somewhat more disciplined in 2024!
Yep Linnie. You need to do the sewing Santa.
You are right. This is going to be a huge quilt. I love them all❤
Thank for the great flosstube:)
You are one of my favorite videos to watch! Besides cheerful and being good friends, I love the patterns and projects you show and are such an inspiration. I loved the first picture of the fall scene you showed that Linnie just had framed at Hobby Lobby. Good job! I just finished Christmas Quaker ll and had it framed at HL with same frame. I love it! Sorry to hear, Roberta, about your trip home and glad you are ok. What an experience! Glad your husband was with you. Linnie, you mentioned today of being a Kansas girl...choosing a sunflower Prairie Schooler. I'm a Kansas girl, too...and born on Kansas Day. I was wondering what town you grew up in? I'm from Stafford, a small farm community, went to K-State and Ft. Hays but now living in Texas. Happy New Year to you both.
Hi Mary. I grew up in Kansas City Kansas and my husband went to KSU. My daughter went to KSU and now my old grandson will attend next year. We are so happy for him. Please come to KC we’d love to visit and I could show you some great cross stitch places. Thank you for watching and wish you a very happy and blessed new year ❤❤❤
My good friend Leslie lived in Hays for awhile and still has two sisters there.
Happy New Years to you both. Roberta I am so glad that you are feeling better. Such excitement on your way home. My plans is to participate in the 24 for 2024 so I have been lining up my projects. I love watching both your whips and getting idea on what to add to my list. Have a wonderful New Years and be safe.
Yes, learned that altitude and dehydration don't mix well. I have so many things I'd like to start in 2024 but also want to whittle down my WIP pile so trying to choose wisely!
Happy New Year ! Glad your feeling better Roberta maybe you need to xtitch more😂. Wonderful to see all the wips and plans forthe New Year. I am getting exciting watching your plans. I am going to do what I love and plug along. Happy Stitching. Happy Healthy New Year!!!!
Yes, hoping to get more stitching time in over the quiet winter months! I'm such a planning geek and love the videos that come out at this time of year!
Just to let you know how much I enjoy your video’s. Your cheer always makes me smile. Love looking at all the small notions behind you, trying to envision the rest of the room. Wel, in short 😊, thank you! Have a Happy, healthy 2024 with lots off stitches!
Thank you so much! Wishing you all the best in 2024 as well!
Roberta I’m so pleased to hear you are ok after being ill on the plane. Happy New Year to you both and can’t wait to see what you both get up to with your stitching in 2024
Thanks so much Michelle! It was certainly nothing I ever expected to happen. Happy New Year to you as well!
Roberta, sorry you had the drama getting home! Glad you are ok. Happy New Year to you both!🎉
I’m glad she is well too happy new year to you.
Yes I am not going to leave my seat on my next flight! Happpy New Year and will see you again soon!
Just found you ladies. Such fun watching you. Boy do I wish I could stitch on linen. Your choices are beautiful. Happy New Year! 🎉
Thank you so much for letting us know and for spending time with us. We hope to "see" you again! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Thank you Tami. Same to you. Happy stitching ❤
I love you ladies so much!! Found more patterns I must have😂. Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉
Oh thank you. I know we have too many but we always have something to choose from. Have a happy new year ❤❤
Thank you for spending time with us and the kind words! Happy stitching!
Hi, Happy New Year! I also like Prairie Schooler lately. I bought quite a few last year. One i bought was “prairie Lodge”. You may want to look that one up…..it’s very woodsy smalls. I, however, am doing a one piece with them (a grouping)…..as i stitch it, i will design the edging as i go along. So far so good…..i have the deer done, lol.
I did look it up and its super cute! I bet that will look great all stitched together!
So good to see you ladies
Love your stories
But Roberta I'm so sorry about your trauma
But I'm so glad you're ok
Prayers for a Happy Blessed Healthy New Year
Thank you Cecilia for your kind words. We wish you a very happy new year ❤
Thanks so much Cecilia! I flew again yesterday and all went well, so glad to have my first flight behind me without incident!
Enjoyed the video today, Girls, and going through your WIPS. It’s always enabling to watch a WIP parade. Linnie, I am stitching along with the #NorthPole SAL also and using Vickie Clayton’s too. Loving it!! Oh and January is #2 in the assignments. Roberta, I love your new start-“A Heart Remembers.” I stitched that in memory of my son this last year. I thought it was the most beautiful chart ever created. Hope you girls have a very Happy New Year and I’ll see you in the year to come!
I’m so sorry about the loss of your son. I can’t even imagine. The North Pole is a great stitch. I started at the top and started working down. The border is almost finished and I have many trees done and down to Santa’s face. I have the assignment now so I will try to get on track. Please take care and have a blessed new year ❤
I am so sorry for your loss Carlene. It is such a beautiful chart and I wanted to start it on NYE, especially knowing how special it is to you. But I want to do it justice and now I'm thinking I'll start that in February.
Happy New Year ladies! Hope you enjoy your 12 x 12! Roberta, I'm so sorry to hear about your mishap on the plane. I hope you're feeling much better! You've had some weird experiences flying this year! Be well!
Hi Maureen. I did the 12 hours but I enjoyed working on four or five. I was seeing so much progress I couldn’t put them down. We will share next week. Happy new year ❤
Yes, there are always adventures when traveling! It did take a few days to bounce back and I was really worried about falling again for awhile, but think I've gotten past that.
Hi girls, Linnie I did the Horse Country Holiday and it is beautiful up on my mantle! Happy Stitching in 2024!! Love your flosstubes so much!
That’s a must on my list this year. I love new years and new plans. Happy new year to you ❤
What a perfect location for good viewing. That piece is not in my stash but you are tempting me with that idea!
Enjoy watching you ladies. Happy new year🎉.
Thank you Elaine. Many new year blessings to you ❤❤
Happy new year!!
I am excited to see your Prairie Schooler projects this year, Linny. Like the two of you, I have so many projects I want to do, but since I'm a monogamous stitcher, I sure better live as long as my father! I'm 73 and he is turning 107 in two weeks. He still lives in his own home and cooks his breakfast every morning. I love all of your work as well as the videos you do for all of us. Happy New Year to each of you!!!
Wow, that is so amazing! My dad would have been 105 if he was still alive. Happy New Year Karen!
I know what you mean about the new year coming because I have so many stitching kits to do just went thru them to group likes together going to stitch all my snowmen now even if here in Michigan we have had only 3 in this year ❤️👀🤩🎉Happy New Year 🎉👀🎉👀🎉👀🎉
I feel like there is still a lot of winter left. We just got our first snowstorm and another forecasted for later this week.
My word for this new year will be Believe, I don’t do resolutions because I always break it.
I so Love seeing you girls,I asked my husband if he would be going to Kansas City ant this year,I’d like to go so maybe I could meet you girls
There is definitely a lot to see and do here! Let us know if you make plans to come.
I'm glad you brought the tree ornaments. I love seeing them.
Happy New year. I love watching you both. Linnie you showed a thrift sampler a few videos ago I think it was a shaker trustees house Margaret and Margaret Inc designs by Margaret McKee from1988. Elaine S from Menominee MI
Oh gosh Elaine. I’m sorry I don’t remember that one. Can you remember what I put in it? I hope I can help you.
Happy new year! Thank you for the kind comment Elaine!
My goodness! That was a fiasco at the airport! Glad you are well now. Thank you for the birthday shoutout, Roberta! I’m happy you are joining us! I love the pattern you chose. I’m speechless at all your projects! You know me, happy as can be with my two WIPS but get a kick out of seeing your abundance of patterns. I just love mine too much to start and put down and move to another. Happy stitching and Happy New Year!
Yes, I'm pretty amazed at all these WIPs too. Definitely hoping to get that count down a bit next year!
Love your upcoming projects! What a treasure trove of stitching.
I am so excited about working on these in 2024!
Roberta, I’m so glad you’re doing better. Thank you ladies for a wonderful flosstube. God bless you both and your families in the upcoming year. Happy New Year. ❤

Roberta! I can’t imagine being sick like that while traveling! Glad you made it home safely and are feeling better! Linnie, I think you’ll just have to make a bigger Santa quilt! How can you possibly choose??!! Stitch them all!!!! It was so good to watch your video today! Happy New Year! ❤️❤️

Thank you Susan. Happy New Year ❤
Wow! Roberta, that was quite a scare you had on the airplane! So glad there wasn’t anything seriously wrong! Lennie, I like your idea of stitching the Prairie Schooler Santa’s and turning it into a quilt! I have seen that done before and love it! You have some ambitious plans for 2024! I like having a word of the year. I haven’t done that before. I’ll have to think on it! Happy New Year to you both!
Sherri, Colorado Cross Stitcher talks a lot about having a word of the year. She does a pillow every year with her word on it so she has something around as a constant reminder.
Your video made my evening so happy. You both are such a pleasure to watch. Your stitching is so beautiful and your projects are all so pretty. Thank you both for another wonderful video. Happy stitching and Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Lorraine!

We had a quiet Christmas. I saw the cute family PJs pic. OMG Roberta, glad you're okay, and that hubby was with you. "Snow Fun" is from the Lizzie Kate "6 Fat Men" series. My word for 2024 is Conscientious !!! I've organized so much the past few weeks, I'm ready to roll. Happy New Year to you Both, happy stitching!!!
Thank you for the pattern names! I love starting the year with organized supplies and a plan! Happy New Year Dee.
