"That sunshiney thing" you mention at 16:38 on this video resembles a MONSTRANCE used to display the Eucharist or a religious relic. Your projects are beautiful!
Really good video. So enjoyed all the information and the photography tips were so handy. Big thank you.
Right now it's 81 in Orlando Florida. I love frosty rabbits. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful stitching. Hope you stay warm and safe with all the snow coming your way❤️
Rabbits! The weather is windy and very 🥶 cold. Thanks for sharing ❣️
Every time I watch you, I check off a mental list thinking...got it! Got it! Yes, have that one too! Lol! Inspiring video!
Today, it is 80 degrees and sun shiney. A beautiful day, perfect for rabbits.
Ha - we have similar (good) taste! :-)
Having nice weather in the Pacific Northwest! Kind of sunny at 60 degrees! Perfect for the frosty rabbits who are ready to frolic!!
It will be 78 for high today....Just went walking with shorts and a t-shirt on listening to you....thanks for sharing...Rabbits are in the yards playing, Sounds very Frosty where you are at, Brrrrrr..
That sounds like perfect walking weather!
I love stitching Rabbits!
We were sunny and 70 degrees yesterday. It is cloudy today but still in the 60’s!
Thanks for your videos!
We are having very rainy, gray 50s days here in Paducah, KY. We recently had a wonderful fluffy snow here and it reminded me so of childhood winters in Montana and Wyoming, filled with many trips to Colorado. Now that our frosty weather is behind us here, I anticipate seeing our usual crop of rabbits near our garage. We are one of the few dogless families in our neighborhood, and cute cotton-tailed bunnies are one of the benefits of that condition. Like you, I stitched for many, many years before I learned about the pop-up end of the thread spool. That is one of the many reasons I enjoy floss tube and other fiber-related videos on TH-cam - I'm always learning new tips and tricks and finding new ways to spend my money ;) Thanks so much for the time you put into making these videos, they are much anticipated and appreciated. Happy stitching!!
A bunny on a frosty morning in our yard is a beautiful sight to watch.....we have cold nights but sunny days here in Ohio! Thanks for sharing all your tips and hints!
Love seeing rabbits in the spring time. Weather on the West coast is just a little cool.
Frosty shows up each morning, but the afternoons reach 60° in ND. 🧵 😊 Thank you for all the tips! You are not the only one who never new about spools. Happy stitching!
My Granny was a Gladys and born in 1898. Love you G.L.sampler progress!
Yay for Granny Gladys's!
I love to watch your FlossTube shows because you just speak to me and how I’d love to come off some day and likely never will. You are just classy and polished and everything you put your hand to just turns out golden. I love your tiny treasures, your samplers are all just gobsmacking gorgeous and your tips and hints and tricks are always a breath of fresh air and a way to think differently about something or introduce me to something. Thank you so much for your photo tips, always a good thing to know more about since I photograph a whole lot of things all the time. I thank you so much for sharing your expertise and passions with us...now I’m off to pull things to start! HA HA HA! It is Sunny and 50 degrees in Indiana today, tomorrow and it appears the rest of the week will be around same temp, but rainy. Have a spectacular week ahead and thank you so much for sharing you with us!
The funny thing is, when I watch YOUR videos I frequently think we would be friends! :-) Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind, heartwarming comment, Vonna. It made my day!
Our weather will be windy and sunny and cold, 40's without including the wind chill. Rabbits and Frosty. Your stitching is so beautiful! Good luck with the ❄snow. We still have snow on the ground. Happy St. Patrick's day.
The weather in Georgia is cloudy and it is 59 degrees. Rabbits and Frosty. Love your floss tube!
The Rabbits are hunkering down as we are expecting 6 to 12 inches tonight. It will be extremely frosty. Love your videos.
Frosty... It's been cloudy but warm here today. Glad I'm not dealing with the snow.
The lighting and background tips were so very helpful to this shop owner who struggles with taking photos of models for social media and fabric/fiber for mail order customers! It’s amazing how changing the camera angle will produce a more accurate color. A stitcher gave me the idea to hang black fabric (I hold up black fome-core) in front of a glassed piece to get rid of the glare, but it’s awkward to do by yourself with larger pieces lol. Thanks for sharing your husband’s photography expertise! Shelly
I'm so glad it was helpful, Shelly! The black foamcore is a good idea too, if you can manage (like you said!).
Today its chilly. Bit it had been warm. I like that frosty rabbits.
Have a blessed week
We've been flirting with spring here in NC but woke up today to a cold and frosty 32 degrees.....brrrrr! I love spending time with you whenever you post.
We are having spring weather in South Carolina . We have several rabbits that live in our yard. Love to watch them. Frosty the snowman makes winter fun! Lovely wips. Love your stitching
I am also in NE Florida and the temperature is in low 80s in the daytime and 40/50s at night. Perfect! I haven’t seen any rabbits but the birds are plentiful and singing. Your Smith Sampler is beautiful and I LOVE your custom basket! All your stitching is lovely, as usual!
Great video as always, here in the East of England we have got strong winds/ spring showers (downpours!) bright sunshine, grey overcast days, warmth , cold. You name it at this time of the year we have it 🤣🤣
The photograph & lighting segment was very informative. Your stitching is beautiful. Amazing how they appear as the filters were used. Thanks again for sharing.
Hi, here it's typical dutch weather... wet, windy, and good weather to be inside.
Just the perfect cross stitch weather.
Frosty.
Beautiful here Rabbits are running all over the place!
Today in western Massachusetts we have a beautiful blue sky with a light wind, about 40 degrees. Thanks for the photography tips! Happy stitching.
The photo shoot was great and informative. I love the ideas. Thanks for the floss tube.
Frosty, Here in Portland Oregon, March 12-13, were beautiful blue skies and warmer (mid-60s). Now it has dropped to the 50s and cloudy may rain. Thanks for the ideas on the wish list and products.
In Michigan, we have lost all our snow, which is highly unusual for March. But March isn't over yet and the snow you are getting now will probably get to us next week. Love your videos. Rabbits.
It has been shorts weather in North Texas after our big freeze. Every morning when I go out to walk I chase the rabbits out of our yard. They eat the grass leaving big brown patches. Enjoy your snow!
I have to go into work very early on Saturday mornings- still dark- and you can see the little bunny rabbits running around in the industrial park. Nice green grass and bushes for them to live in.
You have so many beautiful stitches! Thanks so much for the photo tips! I certainly needed them.😁🎞📸
Love the Smith sampler and the Barbara Ana Creatures is awesome, just love your work on them! Thanks for sharing and inspiring. Happy Stitching!
Saturday 13 and this morning here in the UK it is chilly, windy and showery. Definitely sweater and scarf or shawl. 🇬🇧Thank for the photography hints.
I use the wish list the same way you do, that is so funny. Enjoy watching your flosstubes. Thanks for sharing
Love the story about the robin making a nest in the lilac tree outside of your bedroom window so you could see the babies grow. For 3 yrs now, we have had bluebirds come around Mother's Day, so last fall hubby put up a bluebird house up to specifications and hoping we get them to stay around. We are having warmer than normal March temps so the snow is almost gone here in our yard in Maine. Yesterday we had a very unusual thunderstorm and heavy rains....really weird. No more Frosty to be seen in people's yards.
Oh, bluebirds in your new house would be wonderful. Such pretty birds!
It is great weather here in B.C. No wind, no rain, mild temperatures. The temperature is in the double digits. It still freezes at night keeping the early morning frosty until the sun comes up.
Stitching in my craft room here in Oregon looking out at a beautiful frosty morning!
Live in Petoskey about 35 miles from Mackinaw Bridge and the snow this year was 65 inches, average snow 112 inches. Its very cold at night so we purchase rabbit food from Walmart to feed the rabbits and in the morning there is frost on the windows. Miss you. Stay safe and keep warm this weekend. Walk in Peace.
I used to come there to hunt rocks. Fun fun.
Our weather has been cold and windy but all our snow is gone, pretty frosty in the morning when the rabbits are hopping around. Enjoyed your video and your beautiful projects. Thanks for sharing and happy stitching!
We are seeing weather that is looking a little more like spring in East Tennessee. It has been warm and pretty, except for some massive rain yesterday. I have seen a lot of rabbits running around in yards as I come and go to work. Your pieces in progress are beautiful! I, like you, love knowing the history of the girls and guys who stitched those historic pieces. Thanks for a lovely video!
Thanks for watching, Beth!
Super informative, fun show! Loved all of it! Especially the photo tips. Thank you!
In the 60's in Wichita Falls, Texas. We had the snow (2-5" 2weekends ago). I thought it was wonderful. Love your video.
Frosty. Weather here in New England is beautiful. Forsythia bushes blooming. Magnolias blooming. Tree buds coming. Grass green. Hay fields greening. So much beauty after winter.
That sounds gorgeous, Donna! Right now it's snowing outside here in Fort Collins. I can't imagine spring buds yet!
Our weather is beautiful here in Florida. Low 80’s no humidity. Rabbits are abound. Hope your frosty mornings will be ending soon.
You photo tips were truly helpful, in particular the sharpee tip. Much thanks!
I live in Pueblo West! The weather here is not supposed to be as harsh as it’s supposed to be up north where you live in Fort Collins! We have received quite a bit of snow, but it has been so warm here that the snow has just melted away. We are getting another round of snow tonight. I am so glad I found your Floss tube on Friday and have had the perfect weekend to stay home and enjoy your floss tube sites #1 - #10!!! I have watched every winner be announced wishing it could be me! I’ve cross stitched since 1990 and learned from my coworker Diane when we worked at National Jewish in the skin testing clinic. I am very grateful for her sharing her love for cross stitch! As I am grateful for your love and talents of cross stitch!! ❤️ I love your gifts you share with all of us! Thank you!! I Love Frosty ☃️ Snow men on a snowy day!! ☃️ ❄️
Thanks so much for watching, Elizabeth! I'm glad you found me. And glad that your friend Diane shared her love of cross stitch with you back in the day!
Here in Idaho it is cold but sunny. The snow and ice are starting to melt off my lawn, and I have spring fever! Love those frost houses and rabbits!
Thank you and your husband for the photography tips. The series of photos at the end was very helpful.
So glad that was helpful!
I live in NY. The weather here is typical March weather. One day it is30 degrees and snowing. The next it is 60 degrees and sunny. I love Fall and Winter most. Loved all your projects. Really liked the tips on photography. Very helpful. frosty and rabbits.
Don't get too much frosty weather in southern California. Some days cool weather, more days sunny and warm. I've always liked the collection of carrot rabbits.
We live about 60 miles west of St. Louis off I-44, the first part of the week was sunshine and 60’s. The last couple of days have been windy, cloudy, and rain. My husband really raises rabbits. Frosty, too. Thanks for the photography tips, I always try to take photos of my stitching because I give them away as gifts.
It is 79° and sunny in southwest Florida. I enjoy your flosstubes. Frosty Rabbits look nice.
Thank you for sharing a photography tricks 🐣. I miss my frosty mornings with cup of coffee and gingerbread cookies. Best wishes ❤️
Love your stitching and Rabbit and Frosty
Hi Sheri, what a wonderful video today. I watched throughout my lunch and while stitching a bit too. I am in awe of your G Legere so beautiful! I also really liked your 3 favourite things...we all enjoy seeing food, beauty and stitching stuff, I think. Thanks!
The sun is out here in Northern KY, but rabbits would get frosty-the wind is cold!
Love your flosstubes, and especially appreciate the photography hints! Thanks for sharing!
It is cloudy, rainy here in north Texas. I worked in the garden all weekend. No frosty rabbits, here!

Nice to meet another Coloradoan!

We had freezing rain yesterday and mini ice pellets.. today its 60 degrees in Dayton Ohio. Love those carrot trios! Frosty Rabbits
I have been binge watching you today, so excited. I LOVE your channel. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much, Rosi!
Love your flosstubes!!! I also love rabbits!! The weather here in Tennessee is looking like spring!! Thank you!!
It is 50 here in Kentucky and overcast. I cannot wait for the snow to start this winter. I lived most of my life in Fla and have been in Ky for the past two years and love the change of seasons with fall and winter being my favorite! thank you for sharing the great stitchy items and I am off to buy some after I type this :) Love the Rabbits. Jacque
Hi Sheri! We had a maximum temp of 30c today here on the east coast of Australia. Definitely not frosty! It was bright and sunny and great for swimming. Our rabbit loves basking in the sunshine with her guinea pig buddies. Thanks for the
photo tips! N x
Weather is cool in Alabama this weekend. 50`s. Rabbits are cute. Frosty mornings still somedays.
I loved your information on lighting with stitching! Big thanks to your husband!! I almost pulled the lever on G Leger when I saw her on your video - she is GORGEOUS. I want to get her when I can also get the silks, but it’s being really hard to wait!!! Our weather here in north Alabama is very spring- yesterday was in the mid 70’s and gloriously sunny. Today is overcast, so only getting up to 70 today, but the birds are tweeting, the trees are blooming and my allergies are in full swing! Have a great Stitchy week!
So worth the wait and saving up for the silks. This is such a colorful, gorgeous pattern!
Beautiful Wips and love your basket on the Smith sampler . What great tips on photography- thanks for sharing
Thank you Sheri for sharing your beautiful stitching and tips,likes,etc. I live on the Western slope & it's a little frosty here but no snow.
Warm weather is on the way. The last few days here in eastern North Carolina have been in the 80's, with low humidity. No snow this year, but plenty of frost. We have a few wild bunnies we see in the yard. Really enjoy your videos. Good luck on the snow storm!
We had a week of unseasonably warm spring weather here in NE PA, but it’s cooled back down. I’m glad that we’re not having the snow that you are expecting! I’ve ordered my garden seeds and am looking forward to planting carrots. Our nights are still too frosty, though.
Thanks for a great video. I love your stitching projects!
Cold and rainy here in New Jersey today. Love all your stitching and appreciate the photo tips. Rabbits
Thank you so much Sheri and also thanks to your hubby 😊
We are having frosty mornings and gorgeous sunny afternoons...but a I know winter is not quite done with us! And then we get spring!
Warm and sunny today in Phoenix. I wouldn't call 84 degrees frosty at all. No rabbits here but I do love the hummingbirds. Been outside spraying weeds as much as my back will allow. My grandson's birthday is Feb 29th. Thank you for the photo tips.
Here in Zambia we are in our rainy season so tropical thunderstorms but very hot. I was in Scotland at Christmas with my son and we had loads of snow which I love.. Hope you enjoy your snow this weekend. Great progress on all your projects. Thanks for sharing all your tips.
I love your channel. As a someone returning to needlework after 25+ years, I have really enjoyed binge watching your episodes. P.S. Frosty.
So glad you have returned, Linda! And thanks for watching my videos. :-)
Good to see you in another video - that 1 over 1 on 36 count is amazing. I'm in MD working and it's been beautiful weather. Spring fever time for sure good weather for Rabbits.
Oh the weather we have had. We went through record lows here in Texas!! We got down to 0 degrees and had 6 inches of snow. We are all already home bound because of COVID but this weather had us REALLY home bound because we couldn't get out. I love rabbits, they are sooo soft and cute! It was super frosty here but is now in the 50's today; but all the trees are blooming so spring is around the corner :)
So glad your weather has rebounded into warmer spring temps again!
I too am in Colorado but did not get the amount of snow that you did. I have been spending the mornings watching the rabbits in my yard.
Its wet in Central Nebraska. Loving the frosty snowman weather in Colorado
It is snowing here. I also live in Colorado. It's is so pretty! My neighbor and I were just talking on the phone this morning about how the rabbits were now out and about again. We love to see the rabbits bouncing around from yard to yard. The little rabbits make me happy!
Very windy and cold in Canton Ma. Thanks for your videos.
Cold and rainy here in SC. No rabbits here, yet. With all that snow, you should be able to build a Frosty snowman! Love all of your projects!
Ha - I thought about building a snowman! But it was too cold. :-)
Here in Michigan, we are expecting 60 degree weather all next week. I notice a lot of Bunnies playing in our yard. I always enjoy your videos and the lovely projects that you share. Thank you!
60's in Michigan sounds wonderful!
I love the update on G. Leger. I plan to start this on my birthday in March of 2023. My Grandmother was born in 1898 and her name was Gustava. I am doing this in her memory
What a sweet piece for your grandmother, Barbara. I hope you enjoy working on it!
Here in Manitoba, Canada our snow had all melted and then we had a two day blizzard which was a bit Frosty to say the least. I loved the photography tips. You always have lovely videos!
Hi, this is Marion. Our weather right now is wildly changeable here in Toronto. One day 19 Celsius, the next below freezing at -7. Last year we could not even put our houseplants outside until after our Victoria Day weekend (May 24) because the weather was so cold. But our summer was glorious, lots of sun and warm until October. Weird!!! Love your videos, thank you for such interesting projects. I mostly work on my haed for one month and then do a sampler for one month. I also have the Lila's studio kitted up. Looking forward to doing that one.
Currently 71* and sunny! They keep telling us a cold front is coming but hasn’t happened yet. Enjoyed your visit.
We have had fairly warm for us weather this week...50s and 60s. It will get frosty with snow on the way tomorrow. The rabbits are coming out of the brush pile we have in the back yard. I've watched their tracks in the snow all winter. You knew it was bad when there were no animal tracks out. It was a cold, snowy winter. Things will go up and down for months until late June, it seems.
Kansas is receiving alot of rain, enough to end burn bans. This last year has been the driest I've seen in 20 years. Crops are greening up and the early daffodils have begun. We just know that we could still get killing frosts. Thanks for all the tips. Your projects are inspiring. I also use the wish list feature to be sure that I like something . My budget can't support my wishes! I wish I could stitch as fast as all the flosstubers!
Ha - if only our budgets matched our wish lists, right? :-)
Hi Sheri. Loving the Smith Sampler. I will be working on mine later this week I think. Thanks for sharing those photography tips. I love learning new things. And thanks to your Hubby too. We get a spring tease around this time of year. The weather was beautiful a few days ago. Up to 60f and then we are back down to 35f. Spring will be here soon on Long Island New York. And with spring we will see our rabbits. We usually have a few wild rabbits every year. Well, happy stitching. Be well and safe. ❤️
Sunshine and showers in the UK today( Saturday) Great video as always and thank you for the camera tips. Stay safe and well.
It’s always so nice to visit with you. Beautiful stitching and thanks for the photography tips at the end!
Thanks for watching, Brenda! :-)
Love your video and stitching. It was a FROSTY morning here.
Three days ago up north had snowstorms. Down south, we had hail and tornadoes. ( No snow on the ground though. 40's high) Spring is fighting winter! lol
A bit FROSTY in the morning! Have a grwat week.
Welcome to MN! lol
Thank you for the photography tutorial. Good Information!
Fun video- great stitching, too! Those cookies are dangerous! 🙃 Thank you for the photography tips! Never heard of the Sharpie technique.
