Thanks so much Lauren! I love your framed finishes!! Your WIPs are beautiful and it is fun to see your progress! I am so happy that you are making videos and think that you should do whatever is less stressful for you. Thanks as always and happy stitching!
So good to see/listen to you again. Love that someone as young as you is so enthusiastic about stitching. What you like is what I like too. As far as how often you do these video, do what works best for you.
I will watch however often you post! I look forward to your videos always. Thanks for taking the time to share with us.
Loving your videos - great projects - colors - project bags - such fun to see. Thank you for sharing ❤️😃❤️
You stitch on some of the prettiest pieces! Loved everything, as always. Happy stitching!
Beautiful finishes! Your videos are so relaxing, you keep enjoying what you do ✨✨✨
Good morning!! I enjoy your flosstubes! I
You have been a very busy girl!! I enjoy seeing what you been working !! There are soo many wonderful patterns out there now! It's always something new that has come out that is very tempting!! Thanks for the info on the silks that are now available for Sally Spencer!! I'm checking it out today!! I loved Sally at first sight!! My preference for watching flosstube episodes is every two weeks rather than once a month! When it becomes once a month ,I've seen some that are over two hours!! Enjoy your day!! Thank you again for doing flosstube!! Happy Stitching!! :) ❤❤
We are all our worst critics! I thought everything flowed very smoothly and wish I sounded as calm and organized as you! I love your stitching choices and thought your framing turned out well. Appreciate the Flosstube recommendations and will check these ladies out. Also appreciate the book and podcast recommendations. See you again soon! Roberta
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. I prefer 30 minute videos, but do what suits you best. Happy stitching!
I'm someone who never found a way to get any sort of regular stitching time in when my kids were little. Now that they're grown, I'm making up for lost time! 😂. I love the floss colors on My Home in the Garden, and your Consider the Lilies looks fabulous! I always enjoy seeing your lovely stitching!
Love your content! You have so many beautiful projects that you are working on. And your framed pieces are just gorgeous! I think I can do either or videos. Once a month or every two weeks it really doesn’t matter to me! Happy stitching!
Just love watching your videos! The Plum Street Samplers salt box houses are so pretty! Look forward to seeing more.
Super job on another video, love all your stitchy stuff, also thank you so much for the floss tube shout outs, I went and checked them out and subscribed to them as well. Great channels 🥳
So happy you're back. Love your videos.
Enjoying you and your chats, I am from Mass/ now retired in SC - your window view, looks like home❤️ you have gotten a lot done and I think great job on framing. -
You have so many wonderful projects going! I really work at trying to always enjoy the process. That doesn't always work but I keep trying!
You sure got a lot of stitching done for being so busy in March! and you’re right, not much stitching gets done when raising children. You are a very good sister. Your 2 finished and framed pieces are so lovely! I am impressed. Love seeing Thirza. I am going across the top on mine but probably have a similar amount stitched. I am considering us sal-ing 😉 Your Liz Mathews garden piece is gorgeous, makes me want to stitch it. I completely agree with you on Station 11, read the book, loved it, and loved the HBO mini series. The changes were all enjoyable. And, I did not read Daisy Jones but am eager to start watching the mini series. Thanks for sharing everything, so nice to catch up with you. xx
I love your videos and you are very good at them! I like the two week idea.
Thank you so much for the shoutout! I loved your Flosstube. Your Pink Sparrow sampler is beautiful and I think the framing looks great. I'll have to check out your framing company recommendation. I would love to see mini episodes from you but I know it can get hard to find the time every two weeks to do an episode. March was a crazy month for me as well and I felt like it was twice as long as February. I'm so happy to have it over with and to be in a new month- hopefully spring weather is right around the corner! The view out your window gorgeous. I don't get to see views like that here!
I love your flosstube! I’d love to see you more often
My Early Days is a WIP for me also. I totally get you feeling a little stressed over your stitching. I'm with 3 SALs right now but the WIP I'm working on works for all 3. Maybe writing down what and when you'll stitch a certain piece will help with what you're feeling. There's just so many pretty things to stitch🤣Anyway, happy stitching!
The more I see your progress with “Midnight Watch” the more I want to stitch it, too.
Since I have just recently found your FlossTube channel I am slowly making my way through your lovely videos. I look forward to participating in a SAL when I become current. ( If that ever happens. )
🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much for watching and for leaving such kind comments - I hope you are enjoying the progression through my 2023 stitching! There will always be SALs to participate in, so no rush on that front! Have a great day :)
Love all of your projects.
I like the shorter 2 week videos.
Marilyn
Love your knitting project. I can't wait for NH Sheep and Wool to get some knitting inspiration.
Your framed pieces look amazing! 👏 I also enjoyed the spring pattern flip through. I’m working on the Shift Cowl right now too! And I added the Pressed Flowers shawl to my Ravelry queue a few days ago strangely enough 😅
Beautiful stitching as always!
Pink Sparrow is beautiful. Your framing is good too. Wow and Winter Rose too. So great that you already have them up in your home. The salt boxes are so cool but that white border is what makes them look like old Polaroid pictures so seperating them will look more like a photo album. Not sure I would bother with so much white stitching if you want them snugged up together. (may be a plus).
I laughed at your project bag that you said was the wild west. That is where I live in far West Texas with the cacti and tumbleweeds. The connection is that I grew up in Rochester New Hampshire, so I hope for a glimpse of things from that area while watching your flosstube.
I will be back there in October for the Stitch New England retreat. A first in many decades.
Thought I would share a little as I get to know you on flosstube.
I’ve knitted a lot of shawls and Pressed Flowers is my favorite. I used the Fibre Company Luma. I’m currently knitting the Pressed Flowers cardigan in Magpie Fibers and Little Skein in the big wool. I plan on making the matching hat and another shawl. It’s such a fun pattern.
All I could think of when you said that you were considering stitching solely on Consider the Lilies in May was "April showers bring May flowers"... Lilies in May seems very fitting!
Put your silks in floss bags for storage. I use them for all flosses. I started Birds of a Feather too. I'm going to change the red flowers to more of a burgundy or cranberry shade.
Great video. You’re stitching is so lovely. Beautiful finish on Winter Rose Manor, I had been stitching it and need to get back to it. And Consider the Lilies is coming along so great. After the Roses by Ink Circles is so cool, it’s on my wishlist. I have a Flosstube if you’re still looking for others to watch (Katie the Novel Stitcher), I also chat about books. I’m only about a little over a year into stitching and so glad for the stitching community.
Brand new to your channel and new to cross stitching. I bought a kit that had the image on the Aida fabric. I messed up a lot but I figured I was learning. Now I am working on a few small ones with patterns and counting stitches 💕
Another great video. In response to your question, I appreciate shorter videos more often, but you need to do what works best for you. Your progress/projects are beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Great episode Lauren!
I’m doing consider the lilies also and it’s a really enjoyable stitch
Hi, I love your calming voice . Do whatever feels comfortable to you. I will watch whatever you put out! You stitch so beautifully and I can’t wait to see your wips when you complete them. I haven’t made much progress on winter rose manor- I’ve been working on other pieces- needlepoint, quilting, machine embroidery and cross stitch.😝🤣 I just bought all the floss and chart pink sparrow- all floss except the grape arbor and pumpkin patch. I have not decided which fabric I will choose 36 or 40 ct. I’m thinking about it. ( old eyes) 🥹 I currently have three projects on 40 ct. Rejoice evermore, by Brenda gervais, - I’ve only stitched some of the border, let love reign by Teresa Kogut- I’m starting this on the 11 of the month because my anniversary is on sept. 11 (46 years) and I’ll work on it on the 11 th of every month. Maybe I’ll finish it for our 50th wedding anniversary🥰 and then I’m stitching a small Bedlia Bunny by The Artsy Housewife- almost finished with that small. I have a question for you- I know you swapped out the purple but how about the burnt orange. Burnt orange looks really bright for the pink sparrow? ? Did you use burnt orange? I know you stitched on 40 ct. what is your frame measurement? Thank you, Tami Morgan
Thank you fo sharing! I am so enjoying your videos. We moved to NH not too long ago and I'm so excited to check out the Littleton MA LNS.
Your framing came out great. Oh no on early days! You inspired me to start that one. I am working on live on little that also has forever water and grass. Hmm. Consider the lilies. Oh my. So beautiful. Would love to start that one but ginormous. You inspire. Great video. God Bless!
I need to just sit down and get that grass done!
Enjoyed seeing your projects. I think biweekly would be great.
Lovely stitching!
Hi Lauren! Lovely stitching! Consider the Lilies is stunning! Not sure about the Saltbox project! I think I would probably do each border separately versus one cohesive border, but still not 100% sure! You will love working with the silks! Vicki does an amazing job with her colors! Looking forward to seeing all your progress on so many beauties! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy your videos so much! Love the knitting! You are doing great! Fixing mistakes is definitely challenging! Will check out Ologies! Looks great! Stitching The High Notes is a good FT, but mainly she is a knitter! She has regular shop updates of her project bags for knitting and xstitch! Inga at Knitting Traditions is an amazing knitter and also Free Your Sheep and Fiber Tales! Enjoy!
Thank you so much for the feedback and recommendations Patricia!
We ordered the same charts from Abby. I think you may have pushed me over the edge on the Vicky Clayton silks for Birds of a Feather. I put her silks on floss drops. Beautiful stitching, Lauren.
Lovely video ♥️
I really enjoy your flosstubes! I like your mini flosstube idea as it would be great to see them more often but certainly do whatever is easiest and most enjoyable for you. Thank you!
I LOVE the view out your window❣️ Viewing from CA - it’s like going on vacation!! Please don’t close the blind 😉
I love all you share! I will watch you no matter how often you film. You do what works best for you and I am thankful that you share ! I find you fascinating and your video full of interesting content!
Love your choice of projects❤. Stitch what you wish, when you wish. Make your soul happy with your needlework. Other flosstubers I enjoy: pumpkin hollow quilts, antique needleworkers, cornhusker state stitchers, jean farish, Teresa Kogut, Shanda stitching in Idaho!
I love your flosstube. Your voice is so calming and I love all your projects.
Good to see you again. Lovely projects. Love love love your Rosewood Manor framed up! ❤ Take care
You always do a great job with your videos, so whatever is easier for you…two weeks or monthly.. Thank you for sharing your stitching
I wish there were more flosstube episodes under 30 minutes, so I like the idea of every two weeks if you keep it in that general range. I like to watch them as I'm eating lunch at work. By the time I go to heat my food, I have 45 minutes at most to watch then.
Great video. Try watching Two Needles Pulling Thread. Blushing Pink Stitches.
I think you have an extremely smooth delivery! I love seeing what you are working on! ❤🧵🪡✂️😊
You are great!! I love all of your stitching and you have such a calming way of presenting all of your projects. I think you should do what is comfortable to you as far how long your videos are. I personally prefer an hour or less. Looking forward to your next one!!! Thanks.
Thanks for sharing...beautiful work! You're doing great on the videos as well.
Thank you for video. You think you are scattered, but actually you come across as very confident. Very polished. Your WIPS are so lovely. And you actually did get some good progress. Your 'failure' at March Madness, made me laugh. I tried the 12 in 12 New Year's Sal, and just quite after I think 7. I discovered I didn't enjoy stitching on one project for only an hour, then going to another. It's why I don't do WIPGO. I am a stitch what I feel like, when I want, for as long as I want girl. As soon as I have to follow rules it makes me just want to stop and go clean a bathroom or something. Yikes😲. I will enjoy watching you however often you decide to film. You just do whatever is convenient, and feels comfortable for you. Take care and happy stitching!
All the beautiful projects I see during 12x12 make me want to participate, but based on March Madness I know I will just have to watch from afar!
Grab your tissues for the final episode of Daisy Jones 😭😭😭I also read the book a few years ago and didn’t remember much. So good. And I loved Jeanette McCurdy’s book. Very interesting way of writing. Have a great April…I watch whenever anyone posts. I figure it’s your life…do what works for you 🙂
Your projects are really pretty and you provide lots of inspiration. I think I'm in the minority, but I like videos that are 30 minutes or less. I don't have big blocks of time to watch so shorter ones mean I don't have to remember what was happening if I have to stop and go back another time.
Beautiful stitching and love all your projects. Your bags are beautiful, bags make things easier. Love your yarn color. See you next time and happy stitching!
Framed finishes look great! Love the frames you picked out! Good luck with your new job.
I especially like the project rotation Olivia (pumpkin hollow quilting) describes on her flosstube. Not that I have implemented that, but I often think I would like to.
I enjoy your videos. I can relate to not liking to change projects every day. THat would drive me crazy. I usually spend 4-5 days on my projects. Your fully finished stitches are lovely. Yes! Concentrate on the lilies.
As usual, beautiful projects! If you get and start Every Opening Flower it will have to move up on my list. I almost pulled the trigger when I saw Liz’s start and progress (she’s definitely a flosstube that I’ve been enjoying too).
Wonderful visit with you today!😊
I always add projects to my must-haves after watching you! lol! I stitched 'Where My Heart Blooms' when it came out as a Loose Feathers design in '08. I'm happy to see it in Blackbird's newer book, it's beautiful all stitched up.
I’m really enjoying your videos. You are doing great on your Consider the Lilies…this pattern is in my stash so your progress is inspiring.
So fun to see all of your spring/summer charts :) I've had Come to the Garden kitted up for years! I will totally start that with you when the time comes. Amazing video as always!
I always look forward to your Flosstube! I don't have anyone in my life who stitches either, so Flosstube is wonderful! I love all your projects, and your stitching is gorgeous! I bought the Birds of a Feather, and I think I'll try Vicki Clayton silks like you. I've never done silks before. I really love that you showed some charts in your stash. I have more "wanted" charts now! My March was unproductive, also. I'm hoping to feel better and get more done in April. Be sure to give yourself grace because starting a new job is draining! Also, babysitting takes a lot of focus and energy ( love and fun too). I'm sure April will be a bit better for you.
I’d say go with the schedule that works best for you.
❤❤❤
Thanks for another video! Love seeing your projects.
Beautiful stitching and projects! Lovely!
I love your finishes 🎉 and you’ve done well to do any stitching with starting a new job. I hope your job starts to settle down this month 💜💜💜
Hi Lauren -- loved your new flosstube. Your stitching is beautiful; love to see all your finishes/WIPs. The piece you picked in the book "A Heart Remembers" is an older pattern. It was a Loose Feathers pattern from the early 2000's & it's probably my favorite of all their Loose Feather patterns. I stitched that for a shop model for Old Mill Stitchery (now closed) & it now hangs in my bedroom. It was a fun stitch & I love it!! As for how often to video--do what's easiest for you. We'll be here whether it's every 2 wks or every month.
I love that they are re-releasing some of the older charts! Being a new stitcher I didn’t get to enjoy them the first time around so this is so nice 😊
I prefer a two week schedule but obviously it’s what you prefer x great projects and good to see both knitting and cross stitch
Great video. Loved your finishes. They turned out so beautiful in the frames. Your WIPs are amazing. Love seeing your progress. I absolutely adore the pressed flower shawl pattern...can't wait to see you start that. I like watching bi-weekly videos, but whatever fits your busy schedule!
Thank you Margaret! I am closing in on a finish in the other cowl so you will hopefully see pressed flowers pretty soon!
@@newhampshirestitcher Can't wait!
For just starting a new job, you have gotten a lot done! Your stitches are beautiful! I’m kitting up “Live on Little” (oh the water…. but it’s so pretty) and Ink Circles “After the Roses”. I’d be up to a SAL with one of those if or when you wanted too. It would be a great incentive to get one of them done. Take care!
Enjoy your video. You do great stitching. ⭐️⭐️🌲🌲🌲
New subscriber and congratulations on your Flosstube success. :) Also, thanks for the recommendation on the Vicki Clayton silks. I've also heard good things and I'm thinking of doing Jane Hopkins using them.
Jane would be stunning in the silks!
I love your frame for Winter Rose Manor ❤
💜☮️
Another great video :)
I started Every Opening Flower recently and it’s a beautiful piece!
I do love the longer videos but appreciate everyone that takes the time to make these, no matter what the length or frequency is. 2 Martini Stitcher has been making short updates and then editing a bunch of them together and I’ve been enjoying that too and it seems like that style is easier for her. Can’t wait to check out some of your reccos!
Lovely work! I'm really enjoying your floss tube! For knitting, have you found Ravelry yet? (I'd be surprised if you haven't, but wanted to mention just in case 🙂) Happy Stitching! Lynn
Do what makes u happy by making videos biweekly or monthly I enjoy your videos 😊
I really enjoy your videos and seeing all of your projects. I would like to see your progress every two weeks and enjoy shorter videos. 😊
Love your framed pieces. You did a great job. Consider the Lilies is coming along so nicely, Lauren. I hope you get a lot of progress in May. What fabric are you using for BBD Birds of a Feather? I think the chart calls for 32 ct, which I’m considering if it’s stitched with one thread, otherwise, I may do 40ct. Oooh, I feel the same way about Adorn Your Heart! I’m surprised more people haven’t stitched it. I started it in February, and the colors are so much fun. I didn’t stitch at all on it in March, but will be stitching on it in April to try to make more progress and get to the house. As far as minisodes or the current length episodes, I think you should do whatever fits your time. You are fun to watch, so either way works. Cheers!
Thanks for the shoutout! This was another great video 😊. I have the heart remembers book by blackbird also. I never took notice to that particular pattern but maybe I need to page through my book again 🤔
Also, just got to the end of your video- I like every two week uploads
Thirza’s birthday is April 8th so you have to get her out on Saturday! ❤ I’m gonna work on goth Thirza 😂
Omg I totally will!! HBD thirza 🎉
Just Found your channel. Love all the work you get to. I don’t and I’m retired!!! Would you post the Amazon link for the magnet fabric holders you are using? The hair clips I use are poking holes in the linen! 😮 I am working on Autumn Quakers by Rosewood Manor. It’s a biggie 😂
Hi Pam! Thanks for watching! I use these: Fironst 14 Pack Reusable Silicone... www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q17J1RN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
When you stitch on 40 count, do you use dyed threads or DMC, and if so, over 2 or over one?!
Enjoy your videos so much. Have ordered the Vicki Clayton silks. Have never used before. How many strands for 32 count?
You won’t regret it! On 32 count I’d likely use 2 strands 😊
Hi - Chris sent me here. 🙂
Where/when is the meetup in Portsmouth and is it open to anyone? I live in Rochester and would love to meet some other stitchers
Hi there! The meetup in Portsmouth is monthly and the location changes. I'm not sure if they are full right now (there are limits to the # of people the locations will allow), but I believe there is a Facebook group called Seacoast Stitching Social that you could contact for more info :)
Can you please share the redone verse for Live on Little
Yes, please. I too would like the link to the recharted verse. Thank you!
hi the Sally Spencer and the Birds of a feather patterns, what linen did you use?
Hi Carol! I am using Colour & Cotton for both - Essamplaire for Sally and Haystack for Birds of a Feather 😊
@@newhampshirestitcher thank you!
Hi Lauren , Great Video love your cross/ knitting projects. One note you need to speak louder, you go in and out. Thanks
Noted!
I really enjoy your videos! Your stitching is so beautiful!!
