Another wonderful video! Thank you for sharing all of your projects! ❤ ❤ 😊
Thanks for sharing! I enjoy retreats - following you tube is how I learned about them 🎉
I love retreats and I have been on several. I go with friends and by myself.
Happy stitching
I haven't been to any kind of retreats, but I love hearing about it from flosstubers!
You are back! I started this video and had to stop it and it was gone when I could watch again. So I found it back on this morning. Yay!
Carol and Jenn...delightful seeing you all again...enjoyed all you shared..never have been to a retreat, but I am sure they would be nice...loved seeing your quilting...best wishes to you both❤❤
Wow, you all made some progress on different pieces. Thanks for sharing them wirh us.
I am so happy to hear that the princess is doing well being away at college. I appreciate that update. ❤
I've been to lots of scrapbook retreats and more recently quite a few cross stitch retreats. We have a small group that's fortunate enough to do one weekend mini retreat wach month. So much fun and stitching.
I was mesmerized by the quilt of the day and then to see you do a bit on your long arm was great. Completely new to me. I loved it.
Thank you, ladies.
Love to watch you two . The quilt is beautiful
I just had a great time at a retreat with my quilt guild. So much fun. Thanks, Jenn , for video your quilting segment.
Always fun, Have a great weekend.
Love the quilt! Gorgeous ❤ Oh, my! That witch hat, LOVE it!
I loved seeing the spooky stitching and your quilts. The reindeer ornament is adorable 😊
I went to my first cross stitching retreat this year with my friend. We had a lovely time. We're going again next year. Love your finishes ❤
Jen, that was so interesting to watch you long arm quilt! Thank you for including it!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video as always. Love seeing all the projects - finished or in progress. Beautiful work. That quilt Jennifer is stunning - I also like purple! Yes, I have been to one retreat and that was Stitch Con last year. I took my sister with me, who hasn’t cross-stitched in years, and she managed to fall UP the stairs and break her shoulder on the first day. She’s still suffering now so if I get to go to any other retreats I think I will be solo! I would love to go to a quilting one. Thanks again ladies.
Love all of your finishes! I have a scrapbooking group that gets together one Saturday a month and we have been doing that for 23 years now. We have gone on many scrapbooking retreats in the past but no longer do that since we get together once a month. As far as cross stitching retreats I have gone on only one and it was Stitch Maine 2023. It was so much fun and I met so many great cross stitchers that I will be going to that one again.
I've been to scrapbooking retreats and attended the quilt retreat in Shipshewana with both of you and loved it. I did attend my first cross stitch retreat in April hosted by Evertote in Canada and enjoyed it. Have a great week.
Jennifer i love your quilt! I have been to a dozen quilt retreats and love them! Hope to go again in the future.
Such a nice variety in both your stitching and quilting! In the past I organized and ran many quilt shows that had one day mini-retreats attached to them but I haven't been on an overnight one. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
When I was a member of the Emerald Valley Quilters I attended their bienneal retreat a couple of times. In fact I won my iron there in a raffle! I have never been to a cross stitch retreat. I am saving my 5 dollar bills for PNWSS next year. (Pacific Northwest Stitch Summit in Portland put on by Acorns and Threads) They also do a stitch day in January called the Acorn Gathering. I attended that virtually in 2022 and hope to go in person in 24. (This reminds me that that project is still a WiP. Why don't I get that out and finish it!) Thanks for your video Love all the FFO's
Never been to a cross stitch retreat. Would love to go someday.
So very much eye candy this video. Great finishes and finishing ideas. I went to scrapbooking retreats for a couple of years that were wonderful. Unfortunately, they are no longer hosting them. Next was a fiber arts festival. I attended a couple of years and was scheduled until the pandemic put a stop to that. It was the Dallas-Fort Worth Fiber Festival in Irving, Texas. This spring I went to a cross stitch retreat in Lansing, Michigan. And coming up I have Stitching in the Wild in Montgomery Alabama next September. But the best retreat is the one with my sister and daughter, just the three of us at an AirB&B this past summer. It's really the people that make the difference. Hope you all have a great time in Shipshewana.
I have been to 2 retreats and I am going to my third on October 27 in Philadelphia by Rebel Stitcher. I love your finishes and previous finishes. Great trip and shopping Jennifer had. Enjoy your retreat!!
I went on a few quilting retreats in the early 2000s.and on one cross stitch retreat -- with the Victoria Sampler out of Victoria, B.C. in October 2008. Since then I've moved to a rural hamlet in central Alberta, Canada, and consider myself as 'living on retreat'. That said, I've also been on one artists' residency (I'm an art quilter) and on several spiritual retreats when I lived a couple hours' drive southwest, outside of Calgary, AB There is a Franciscan retreat centre there and yes, when attending there I've taken something to do with my hands.
Congratulations on all your FFO’s! Everything looked so good!! I used to go on quilt retreats back in the day. My favorite was sponsored by Eudora Quilting Bits & Pieces out of Eudora, KS. We would go to Cedar Crest Lodge in Pleasanton, KS. The owner was a wonderful cook! I believe we would have 16ish attend and we just sewed 2 1/2 days. Heavenly!
My most recent retreat I attended was Sampler Symposium at The Attic in Mesa, AZ. I got to see from friends I already knew and made some new stitch friends there.
Shipshewana is so fun. I always enjoy it there.
I just got back from a quilt retreat. That was 5 days and 4 nights. Which we do twice a year in New Mexico. And I'm going to my first cross stitch retreat in a couple of weeks in Albuquerque, New Mexico . Had fun at the quilt retreat, and I know I will have fun at the cross stitch, too.
Thank you for a wonderful floss tube! You ladies have been busy stitching and finishing and everything was amazing. Also, loved the previous Halloween finishes that you showed Carol. I've never been on a quilting or cross stitch retreat, but do have a group that I paper craft with, and we have done quite a few weekends away which was wonderful.
Every year I attend a fiber retreat at Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio. It’s usually the second weekend in February. I usually knit and cross stitch, but there is also spinning, weaving and rug hooking.
Great video! I love all your projects! I now need the Bent Creek candy corn pattern. I have never been to a retreat. Happy stitching.
I haven't been to a retreat yet. I do belong to the Mountain Star Quilting Guild in Rogue River Oregon and they have a retreat that they hold twice a year. One in September and the other in April. I think the biggest reason why haven't is having to haul my machine and all the notions that I would need to it. Just going to classes is daunting at my age. But you never I might put my big girl pants up and go for it.. thank you for sharing your progress, haul, and life with us, it's enjoyable to watch both of you interact with each other...❤
Carol! Humongoberry 😂, Soo funny. My retreat experience is short, last September I went to my second retreat at Acorns & Threads in Portland OR called Pacific Northwest Stitch Summit. Thanks, gals.
Never have been to a retreat.
Another fun video! I’ve been to Stitch-Con twice and I am going Rebel Stitcher’s Sweata Weather retreat in Philly at the end of October. I travel alone, but always feel welcomed.
So glad you got your upload issues figured out so you could keep me company while I did some finishing this morning. Your trip with Michele sounds amazing!!
Loved all your stitching! Always enjoy your floss tube.
Amazing quilting, Jen. Thanks for the tutorial. You gals have really been busy. Amazing too considering your travels Jen. Love both of your FFO’s, finishes and wips. Beautiful! I have been to many Quilt Retreats mostly in Amish country in Ohio and a few in Marshall, Mi. I have not been to any cross stitch ones yet. I sure do want to go though. Happy Stitching!
I have been on several cross stitch retreats. The first one was in Greenwood, Indiana and now our whole table from there zoom once a month to visit. I am heading to one in Hershey, PA today.
I love a retreat and have been on scrapbooking, sewing, and quilting retreats. My next retreat is in Shipshewana in Nov. It is for the Alabama girls and I’m excited!! Then in January we’re going to The Cherry Pit in Tennessee.
I’ve been to PNW Stitch Summit once and loved it. Acorn and Threads run that. I’ve never been to a quilt retreat.
I have never been to a retreat but would love to go. Take care
Thank you for the info on the Winter Silhouette chart. I just ordered it from 123Stitch. Can’t wait to start it.
I’ve been to a cross stitch retreat and going to one at the end of October. I have 2 stitchy friends near me and I organized a mini retreat for us. But I would be happy to hear your tips for organizing retreats for a few up to a few dozen. Thank you, Carol!!
I have quite a few quilt UFOs and the APQS chart will help for next year! 😊
I'm am new to stitch and am elderly and not able to travel but if I were able I would try to attend at least one yearly!
If I lose my darning needle, I'll just flip my sock inside out and do a 3 needle bind off. I think it is just as comfortable and makes a really strong join.😊
I have never been to a retreat, but I would love to.
I would have attended Stitch Basel, but my ex and I split... And I would not be able to afford it.
Last year, on holiday in Hamburg I participated in an afternoon stitching meeting with about 7-8 German stitches. That was awesome.
I hope to go to the next Stitch Basel... If it will be arranged.
Wow, that was a jam-packed video! Y'all have been busy!! I've been to quite a few retreats put on by a few shops. The only one of those shops still around is Silver Needle in Tulsa, OK. Their retreats are lovely (and of course the shop itself is amazing)! They have one big retreat in July and several smaller ones spread throughout the year. Loads of fun!!
Such a wonderful time spent with you two! You are my favorite tubers! Jen, you have got to enter that quilt behind you in the fair next year for sure! And Carol your red Christmas trees need to be entered as well. stunning! Please tell me more about the pie sounds so good!
I’ve never been to a retreat but one day hope too. I really want to meet you two one day so who knows I might just get to go!
Blessings!
Oh thank you!
I have two retreats this month! But I am going to my first stitching retreat at Dyeing to Stitch with Cathy Haberman (Hands On Design) …and my thousandth quilting retreat. 😉
Thank you again for the wonderful birthday surprise- and the chance to relive it as you guys talked😍 I loved hearing all the detailed thoughts that went into my pillow!!
You both shared so many FFOs!!!! Carol- I love how the witch hat turned out!!
I have been to Country Sampler’s summer camp retreat in Spring Green, WI twice. I had the chance to go to Chantelle’s Pep Rally retreat in Williamston, MI in Sept. I guess that counts as 3 retreats?😂
I actually just got home from a quilt retreat today that was with a group of friends. Same group plus some will get together again in February at the same place.
Love seeing all your beautiful projects and the items you purchased when you surprised Michelle. What a super surprise for her birthday! Yes, I have been to the Myrtle Beach Quilt Party in SC several times and really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I am a cross stitch retreat aholic. My LNS, Panda's Cross Stitch and Beading has had 25 retreats over the years and I have been to every one of them since the owner is one of my best friends. I have been to the National EGA Seminar when it was in Hilton Head, SC, Dyeing2Stitch in Virginia Beach, VA, Hobby House in Pittsford, NY, Quilter's Station in Lees Summit, MO, The Attic's Summer School in Mesa, AZ, Stitch Con in Cincinnati, OH, and Sassy Jack's Stitchery retreats in Weaverville, NC. I am attending Annabella's Retreat this month with Stitching with the Housewives, and next month I will be at Farm Girl Dry Goods retreat in Amana, OH. I just love attending retreats and meeting other cross stitchers and making new friends. Hopefully one day, I will get to meet both of you! That would make my day! Dottie
Wow, Dottie - you’ve been to a ton of retreats!
Beautiful Quilt Jennifer! The quilting looks so awesome!!! You girls have both done quite a bit on your WIPCO. I've been on several small quilt retreats. several were with a quilting bee I was in and once with a group of girlfriends. I've never been on a cross stitch retreat.
I just came back from my very first retreat ever! It was a quilting retreat at Angeles Crest near Palmdale, California but up 6000 feet in the mountains. It was originally scheduled for April but 8 feet of snow caused some major damage and so we were rescheduled for September. They fed us 3 meals a day and the food was good. The scenery was spectacular. Had a lovely time and will definitely go again.
Thanks for sharing another fine video. Sadly, I have never gone to a retreat of any kind.
Thank you for another wonderful floss tube , i would love to go on a stitching retreat , but here in Up State NewYork i don’t even have a LNS near by any more .🙁 I would love to make some stitching friends . Happy stitching !
Loved every minute! Always a treat to see the two of you.
Hi Jen and Carol, it's always such a pleasure to watch your videos, and this particular episode was so fantastic, however I feel that way about each one. Your finishes are so beautiful - one of my favorites in this episode was your Primrose Cottage pillow finish, it's so beautiful and now you've enabled me to buy that pattern for sure. Your shopping trip and visit with your friend, Jen, sounds like a perfect weekend to me and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself and got some great haul. I haven't been to any kind of crafting retreat before but did attend some daytime things many years ago when my kids were little (now they're all grown and have kids of their own). Thank you for another wonderful video.
I have been to many retreats: scrapbooking/paper crafting; general crafting; and cross stitching. This year I attended Stitch-Con, Stitching in the Wild (GaRon Stitchery), and Pacific Northwest Stitch Summit. Next year, I have 5 retreats: Stitch West in April; the following weekend is Maine Library Stitchers Retreat; Stitch Florida in July (yes, I’m well aware I need my head examined!! 😂); and Stitching in the Wild in Alabama with GaRon Stitchery. The same weekend is Pacific Northwest Stitch Summit, and I’ll be doing that retreat via Zoom so I can do retreats at once!! Thank goodness I have about 6 months to prep!!
Wow, you are an Uber-retreater!
Enjoyed your Flosstube, and your Wipco calendar I need to do that next year I have too many unfinished WIPS for quilting and stitching.
I've attended Stitch Con for the past three years. Am waiting to hear if I was OK'd for a fourth. Been to quilting retreats too. Best one was a quilting cruise hosted by Jenny Doan and Lynn Hagemeier.
So many beautiful projects and finishes, Carol and Jennifer! That was a delightful flosstube! Thanks you two!!!
I have been to several wonderful retreats…the crème de la crème was going to Plymouth, Massachusetts…many years back now. My good stitchy friend and went to a Just CrossStitch Seminar to learn 17 century embroidery with a master of all master teachers, Joanne Harvey. She had done the reproduction of the a Loara Standish, America's oldest known signed sampler. Loara was the daughter of Miles Standish of Mayflower fame. What a delightful experience! We wondered what we had gotten ourselves into when we found out it was reversible stitches! But today I walk by that large sampler in my dining room everyday and to this day marvel that I was the one who stitched it!!! Other retreats we attended were attached to our Embroiderer's Guild…the EGA guilds in Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, and maybe Virginia joined together once each year for a fantastic gathering of stitchers where we could take classes from national teachers…wow! Is all I can say to those experiences, too. A local quilt guild annually held what they called Sew Super Saturday…even though I didn’t belong to their guild, my friend issued an invitation that allowed me to retreat for the day with them…very fun , too! My advice = go if you get a chance! I’m so glad that I went when we did, as these days I am caregiver for my husband and retreats have to be put on the back burner!
I love all of your finishes. A small group of friends of mine have rented a house on a lake for a quilting weekend, it was great! We need to do that more often!
Enjoyed watching your video.
5 Quilting Retreats at Missouri Star Quilt Company.
Several local Scrapbooking retreats (local).
Put a cloche on that candle pedestal! I have been to a scrapbook retreat but not a cross stitch retreat. Would love to go to stitch con. I live in southern Indiana. Maybe some day,
I am going to my first retreat in 8 days….Jacobpalooza with Jacob from Modern Folk Art put on by Evertote in London Ontario. There were a couple of your intended pictures that had the word invalid across the screen…not sure what happened there. Another super fun video.
Great video as always. I have ordered more outdoors cross stitch patterns because of you guys! I would love to see a tutorial on mounting a crossstitch fabric to a frame❤ I need a help!!!
I have never been on a retreat before always been nervous to go on my own ❤
I have never been to a retreat, but I do participate with a group of 12 friends at a monthly craft day at a local library. Most of them do scrap booking, but I usually cross stitch. Always fun!
Jen, looks like you had a great time shopping with Michelle. Both of you, Carol & Jen, finish so many beautiful between F losstubes. Always a joy to see them.
I have attended the Needlework Guild of MN August retreat in Buffalo MN FOR about 11 years with another stitching buddy. We have a great time stitching and visiting. I didn't get to go this year, but hopefully will go next August.
Stopped as soon as you showed the “Chilling with my Snowmies” . Ordered with much help from Heidi and the photos she sent me. Added some pinkish purple soft colors,that blend to add a feminine side to the men. Expecting a granddaughter in January. Thanks for the enabling! If I may ask which heat and bond do you use. This will be my first quilt so if I may ask for tips from you as you go. Thanks again. So enjoy you girls. Yours, Irene

My first cross stitch retreat was in 2022 at the NJ Flosstube Retreat (now known as Stitch NJ since 2023) run by Arlene Cohen, the designer behind Works by ABC. It's a wonderful retreat held in July and I'm heading back there for 2024 as well😊. Carol, where in NJ did you live? I love how the little witch's hat came out! Jenn, I've never seen a long arm quilt in action! Thanks for the demo!
Excellent show. I love all your choices and finishes. I think Jack will be the next superstar tennis player. We can always use more good American players. I love your jewelry. Jennifer what is your necklace? I have never been on a retreat - too poor!!
Jenn your Penelope is fabulous! Carol the Christmas pillow turned out great with the Pom poms; I’ll be watching the tutorial too! Jenn I ran into you & Michelle at Craft Gallery… What a pleasure & surprise to meet you both 💕
Love to see all your beautiful stitches! Never been to a retreat 🫎
For your Easter piece -- what about adding ribbon on the sides that would tie behind the box so that it would be easy to remove and have just the box.
Love this idea - thank you!
Ohhh finish # 28 I have that older pattern too, it is a Meme's Quilts - - a Tid Bit, called "Sleigh Bells Ring"!! At least you stitched yours, mine is semi kitted up (fabric & some floss). So Pretty, Kay's frames are always so cute!! Never been to a Retreat, just a few zoom meetings so far. There is a monthly gathering about 45 + minute drive from me, so someday I hope to attend. Cool quilting, freehand !!!
Thanks for letting me know the name, wish I could find my pattern!
Just thought I would say to your subscriber who asked what does Drawn Thread mean.....yes The Drawn Thread is a company but there is also a type of embroidery called Drawn thread which is where you cut out threads and stitch various stitches. Similar to hardangar
🐴🐴🐴
I really liked your questions for WIPGO, would you please tell us the questions you have for October thru December? I’m making myself a list for next year and yours was very motivating!! Thanks. I have never been on a retreat but would love to. I have met at our library for stitching with a couple of ladies but that fizzled out.
Never attended a retreat.
Why was the candy corn piece stitched with pearl cotton instead of regular floss? Also, what fabric did you use?
I live in 1050 sq. ft. so would (clearly) not be able to house a long-arm quilting machine here. SO my question is, assuming you have the space, how much quilting would you have to do to pay for the cost of a long-arm quilting machine that takes up the size of a small garage? NOTE: I live in central AB, Canada 8+/- hours' drive NORTH of the Alberta/Montana border; garages to store working vehicles here -- heated or not) are valued here.
Late watching this but...on my screen, with almost every photo you put up, I got "INVALID" instead (yes, in all caps!) I *did* see Jennifer ironing on the floor, but that's it. Sorry. Don't know what that was about.
Yup, had issues with the video - I put the photos in our newest video so hope you will see them there!
Why is the word "INVALID" showing up on your video where you upload a picture of your work or other items? Is this you tube censoring?
No, it was an issue with the pictures 😕
