Every time I watch one of your videos I think to myself I need to make you some project bags! I made at least 40 with vinyl fronts for myself and my sister out of prints I had in my stash so I got pretty fast at making them. You are just so busy I don't know how you accomplish everything you do!
I so enjoy your videos! You talk about anything you want, I relate! Hope you don't mind a ramble . . . I so enjoyed 1883 and happy they aren't going to continue that year, after Elsa and Sam gone why would they. I wonder if that writer/producer sleeps, he is so good. Yellowstone is a favorite as well . . . if Rip comes to my door I will let him in!! I finished the drum for PSS that you showed and would happy to finish yours;) Or at least guide you if needed. I can't wait to have Cohan "red" scissors!!! Stitching "A Heart Remembers" on your Dirty Teacup. Remember, you be you!!!
You are so sweet Joy! ❤ I agree with you totally about 1883. I read the next prequel will be set in the 1920's, I'm assuming it's Elsa's brother John's story. If my math is correct, I think Tim McGraws character could still be living during that time period.. I'd love to see him show up in the next series, he's pretty good eye candy.. lol.
You’re right, my mother used to have a housecoat that looked just like that fabric. I think it’s fun that so much if that vintage stuff is resurfacing but some of it is a bit scary, like shag carpet which should definitely stay in the past. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for all that you do.
I think your explanation of your order processing made total sense. I’m so glad you have been successful. Such a wonderful problem to have. I hope people are being patient, kind and understanding.
Always a treat to see a notification pop up that you have a video out! Was so glad to see Plum Street Samplers showcased; she has beautiful designs. Ran to get my coffee ready and had a great time stitching and watching your video!
Great video never to long! I am stitching Blueskin now. The updates are great never to long to talk shop its the stitching world! Love it. Have a great week!
Rachel, thank you for all the information about your business and how it all works. LOVE the fact that you will be carrying charts and flosses!!! Hope your daughters are helping get things done so you can stitch more 😆😆😆
Good to see another video and glad you're getting so many orders; your linen is great! Hard to limit purchases with this market. Love how many designers came out with amazing samplers.
I am trying to figure out what to start from my purchases from the Nashville event. Love seeing all you have plans for and your finished pieces at the end. Oh, there is just not enough time. 👋
It sure has changed since the 80's.. one video I'll show my first stitching from the 80's.. I'm going to definitely do a little "throwback" video. It's amazing how improved things are now!
@@needleandflaxflosstube3647 Please do! I started in the mid-80s. I was so amazed when I picked it back up about 5 years ago at all of the overdyed floss and fabrics.
Starting and stopping is always the hard part for me too! Sometimes I have to do some heavy editing. But we're just hanging out with friends right? You always make me laugh and ooooh and ahhhh over linen and charts. Also run for a pencil and paper to make notes! Have a great weekend.
I loved hearing how the whole dyeing process works and ordering from the distributor. I hope the supply chain issues smooth out soon, but 🤷♀️. Happy stitching when you get a moment.
Rachel, I love your videos and hearing your thought process. Your designer spotlights are always great. I have the black version of Oh Happy Morning but not sure where to reach you with the floss info.
Rachel loves “kotchkees!” I laughed out loud at that! Girl you make me laugh every video! I haven’t stitched a Plumstreet yet but I ordered her “This is the Day the Lord hath made”. It should be here next week. I can’t wait to start it. We have tons of wide open prairies here that someone should grow the flax on!!
Lol! You crack my up … fancy scissors with a fancy tassel!😂 I want all the charts and things from market and ordered a bunch😍😍😍 look forward to your kits, and fabric swatches would be super helpful …. Happy 🧵 stitching , but first dye the fabric😂😂😂😂❤️
I hadn't seen the glasses...I have a Fat Quarter order on the way. Added a pair to the next order to try. I do exactly what you do...up the strength if I need for over one or awful fabric. If you kitted "Paradise Lost" I would buy it. It is gorgeous.
Loved your video! I agree with you on all the market designs this year, "I want them all!" Between market orders and a lucky score of your linen at Hobby House my credit card is worn out. 🙃 Have a great week!
Hi Rachel! I'm going to be stalking your website for Mrs. Wigglesworth. It was on my list to get next, and I'd rather get it all from you, including your fabric! :) I've been enjoying your Flosstube, as well. :)(From your original fan on the destash group!)
@@sbwgigstitcher you did miss it!! I can't believe I sold all I had in under 30 minutes! I already ordered more and I should have them listed Wednesday or Thursday. The charts should ship to me tomorrow and I have linen dyed and DMC packs already waiting.
@@bellanymiller6475 Okay, we'll try again! I'll start looking early Wednesday morning. Although, you're three hours ahead of me (or is it two?!). And, I'm not surprised you sold out quickly! You should kit up her two new ones with your fabric! They'd look gorgeous. I think Esther Pickford will be one of my next purchases (after Mary).
I had my coffee and picked up my iPad and there you were with a new flosstube! Great timing! Lol! I am looking forward to your kits and curated things! I really like your shop updates as well as your stitching part! It crossed my mind as I was watching…..where do you have room for all the dyeing and drying and everything? It seems like you would need lots of space! Looking forward to the next video! ❤️
Penny, let me tell you, my house is looking like a sweat shop! Lol.. my laundry room is large, like a small bedroom, so the dyeing space is fine.. everything else is all over my house. Even my bed has served as the "shipping and receiving" room. 😂😂 my living space is actually quite large, so I have the space, it just looks like a hot mess!! 😉
Hi Rachel! I wish I lived closer and could come help you. Glad you seem to enjoy your work so much but work/life balance is sooo important. Please take time for yourself to stitch, etc. I just went thru two years of being a Lab Manager responsible for Covid lab testing. It pummeled my butt….The exhaustion snuck up on me. I’m only 58 but retiring on 3/30/2022 after being in the same job for 16 years. The eyeglass case does look like a housecoat!!!! I laughed when you mentioned it. I haven’t heard that term in many years. My Grandma wore a housecoat and also housedresses. Where in the world did the term housecoat come from? Good grief… I can’t even imagine having to wear a dress around the house. Thank God for leggings and gym shorts!!!! Can’t wait to see your market haul!!! Thanks for another great video….Lori
Thanks Lori! Whoever designed the housecoat certainly started a trend back in the day! 😂😂 I wonder if my grandkids will one day laugh at pajama pants, that's my work around the house uniform.. lol
I love hearing about fabric substitutions. Would you consider kitting Theresa Kogut’s Let Love Reign? The recommended fabric is Grandma’s Slip by XJuDesigns using DMC. I can not find it. I think those patterns as well as Love Lives Here are going to be very popular. I would love to purchase a sample of all your fabrics to help with ordering. Food for thought and thanks for any suggestions❣️
I might kit Let Love Reign! I don't have the pattern yet, but I'm certainly going to be stitching it and choosing a linen, so definitely stay tuned! I may at some point send some sample swatches with linen orders or have some for purchase.. I've thought of doing something like that, but haven't really done it yet.
Love seeing all the Plum Streets and can’t wait to see your market haul. Thanks for being honest about spending a lot of money- 🤣we all do it! Are your daughters still helping you out?
Let's put it this way... my girls won't be winning employee of the month anytime soon.😂😂 my younger daughter Natalia has helped a bit with ironing and she has potential to up her game.. we shall see!
I would love to have a fabric recommendation for Plum Street’s Shepherds Song. I bought it just last fall. I’m thinking Dirty Teacup would look good. I’m so sorry ( but not surprised) that there are linen shortages. I would love to see any pattern & fabric recommendations, both old and new charts. I’m looking forward to seeing your kits too.
I forgot to show Shepherds Song!! That's also on my to do list. I'd have to look, but off of the top of my head, I think Thornfield might be a good choice. I'll have to look at my pattern again...
My first order arrived other day and it is GORGEOUS ! The wait goes super fast ! And when the next order arrives will be exciting and NO rush. I am great with waiting. Thank you !
I'd love to know your thoughts on why Cohana scissors are so amazing and are they worth the price? (& if I need a pair!) Excited to see my fabric from you is on the way! :)
Oh Jennifer.. you need a pair of Cohana scissors!! 😂 they are a very good very sharp scissor.. I actually love the way they feel in the hand. The lacquered handles are very comfortable. Once you get a good pair of scissors like this, it's hard to use others. I have some red and brown on the way to me now, and I have a pre-order in for the limited edition spring colors. I saw Hobby House Needleworks and The Attic are taking pre-orders for the spring colors too! They really are great..
Love your video. Thank you for sharing with us. Appreciate the information. I have a question. I want to do Olga's stocking...plum street. It calls for vintage pearled barley. I would like to use one of your fabrics. Can you suggest to me a fabric. I Appreciate any help on this since I have been really wanting to stitch it. Thanks for any help in advance
Off the top of my head, I'd pick Thornfield. Is an antique ivory color with mottling. I think those fall colors would look great on it. A warmer toned choice would be Dirty Teacup.
You might want to also explain that you can only dye so much fabric at a time. The size of the pot determines that. I’m not sure most people understand what all goes into the process.
I also bought A Father Kind and True. My dad passed away in 2019 and how could I not get that pattern. Since you have the DMC pulled, any ideas on what you might stitch it on? I'm going to dip my toe into 40ct. There's no way I could do 46ct. Yikes! 😲 It's a big pattern but it looks like there are a lot of little motifs spread out.
First of all, you crack me up with your comments of “get over it” or “turn it off”. 😂 Love it because you are being you and I think I am that way a little as well. Next, what is the name of chart with the horse and George Washington? The idea of doing it on the blue really appeals to me. Thanks!
😂😂 it sounds so rude of me!! Lol... the name of the plum street chart is Blueskin. It was the name of George Washington's favorite horse and the inspiration for that pattern! It really is cute, but on a blue fabric it really stood out and was even better! ❤
I thought your description of your dying process made sense, I followed what you were saying. What do you think about putting together a chart your compares your linen colors to other companies linens? Such as Brea is like Lakeside linen color… Do you think that might upset other dyers in the industry?
I love that idea.. but you might be right. I'd hate to step on the toes of other dyers. I'm sure if someone else did that and had multiple companies listed, it might really work out well. That would be fun to see!
Love all your market purchases! I also purchased Alice Clark! Would you recommend a linen? Have you checked out thewishingthorn? Her patterns would be lovely on your linen! Hey-I have tchotchkes and a housecoat! Lol!
😂😂 I love that you embrace the housecoat!! I'm going to stitch Alice Clark on Dirty Teacup! Once I get more 40 ct. Linen, I'm going to cut myself a big old piece of it so I can stitch it whenever the mood strikes!
Hi Rachel, just found you. What is the name of the last pattern you showed on the video? Thank you. By the way, I love your 'It's my video so deal with it" attitude. And don't apologize for the time it takes to get orders done. You are a one-woman show.... people can wait
@@disorderlystitcher oh, that was Blueskin by Plum Street Samplers. George Washington's favorite horse was named Blueskin and that was the inspiration for the pattern! ❤
@@needleandflaxflosstube3647 You can google names like that and they will tell you how to pronounce them - even a video so you can hear the pronunciation. I have known some people with that name which is why I learned how to pronounce it.
No, at this time I don't have a Facebook group. I do communicate alot on my Instagram page right now, so if you are on Instagram, follow me over there for shop updates!
@@needleandflaxflosstube3647 The problem is that alot of us don't have or want to have IG & in trying to order on your site, if an item is out of stock we can't even put in an order that will allow us to wait. Bummer 🥺
@@judemorse47 if you keep an eye on the website, everything is available to order at some point. I don't limit quantities, so if something is sold out, I'll be restocking it quickly. The linens are dyed to order, so those are always available and it's just a matter of waiting. Right now I only have some of the 32 count linen as sold out because I don't have the zweigart to dye it and I don't want customers waiting even longer than the wait already is for something not available to me. I listed some kits today and they sold quicker than I expected, but I already ordered more and they'll be restocked shortly. Hope that info helps a bit! ❤

Never enough time!! I need a clone!! 😂
As always I 150% enjoyed this!! Looking forward to seeing you again soon ❤
I’m returning to cross stitch. I did it In The 80s, and boy has it changed!! I’ll be ordering some of your beautiful linen at some point.

I found you on Instagram and messaged a photo of the floss recommendations.
I am currently working on The Gather Inn. It is a really fun stitch, not at all complicated and it stitches up really quick. You will love it.
I can't wait to start that one! I know I'll love it!
Love is the Key is so beautiful in person. I saw the start at Market in Teresa's room...had to order it. Love all your information ❤️ and video☺️

I would like to use one of your fabrics. Can you suggest to me a fabric. I Appreciate any help on this since I have been really wanting to stitch it. Thanks for any help in advance
Off the top of my head, I'd pick Thornfield. Is an antique ivory color with mottling. I think those fall colors would look great on it. A warmer toned choice would be Dirty Teacup.

@@needleandflaxflosstube3647 You can google names like that and they will tell you how to pronounce them - even a video so you can hear the pronunciation. I have known some people with that name which is why I learned how to pronounce it.
Rachel, did u say that u have a Facebook group?
No, at this time I don't have a Facebook group. I do communicate alot on my Instagram page right now, so if you are on Instagram, follow me over there for shop updates!

The problem is that alot of us don't have or want to have IG & in trying to order on your site, if an item is out of stock we can't even put in an order that will allow us to wait. Bummer 🥺
@@judemorse47 if you keep an eye on the website, everything is available to order at some point. I don't limit quantities, so if something is sold out, I'll be restocking it quickly. The linens are dyed to order, so those are always available and it's just a matter of waiting. Right now I only have some of the 32 count linen as sold out because I don't have the zweigart to dye it and I don't want customers waiting even longer than the wait already is for something not available to me. I listed some kits today and they sold quicker than I expected, but I already ordered more and they'll be restocked shortly. Hope that info helps a bit! ❤
