Karen, your WIPs are coming along! Loved hearing about your plans...I know those retreats will be special memories. Your Barn quilt is gorgeous!!! Happy Stitching! xoxo
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I am so excited to go. Can you tell? So happy that you stopped by again. I appreciate your loyalty to my channel. Happy stitching. Best, K
Hi, Karen! Lovely projects! This will be my first Jingle Ball and I’m very excited. Glad you’ll be in it, too. ☺️ You always have informative videos. Happy stitching! ☺️🪡
Carla, I’m looking forward to it too. Maybe we will land in the same stitching room. I don't really get how those work. Last year, I just went to my classes. Happy stitching. Best, K
Oh my goodness....I couldn't take my eyes off that barn quilt! It is stupendous! I do wonder if when you do the blocking you could perhaps include us. I would love to at least know how that's done. Great flosstube...thanks for sharing.❤❤ ❤❤❤
Nice progress on your stitching. My favorite color is blue, so I absolutely love the Barn quilt, so very pretty. It deserves a blue ribbon, for sure. Marilyn
Hi Karen I can’t believe I missed you and it has been six days since you posted. Anyway I love all of your new starts, so pretty as always! Thank you Karen for sharing with all of us!!😘
I appreciate your loyalty to my channel. There are so many Flosstubes out there, it is hard to keep up. At least you caught this one. Happy stitching. Best, K
As soon as I hit start I was oh oh the blue quilt is up!❤❤❤ Anna Ohman is just your creative spirit. I finished Dancer and she has some creativity as well.😅 every thing is looking great as usual and ohhh the quilt, sigh love love the colours and quilting. See you next time!
Thank you for your kind words! I always love to see you in the comments. I appreciate your support. I will figure out what to do with Anna Ohman. Happy stitching. Best, K
Beautiful stitching, and another wonderful quilt. The stitching get togethers you've got planned sound fantastic, lucky you! And a cruise doesn't sound too bad either. Take care, and happy stitching/quilting, Arleen
Thank you for your kind words, Arleen! I can't wait for these stitching get-togethers either. I would love to meet you at one of them sometime. Happy stitching. Best, K
A few decades ago I took a class from a lady who had studied at the Royal School of Needlework and she said every time she started a sampler, she pulled out a doodle cloth and did practice stitches of all the stitches she would use. So, even the best trained needle workers have to review their stitches. You aren’t forgetful; you’re a pro stitcher!!
Hi Karen! Thank you so much for sharing how you're setting up your floss storage! My floss has been a mess for so long because I can't decide which method I like the most (bobbins, bags, or floss drops). To tell the truth, I actually like and use all three methods. But it makes a horrible mess once a project has been finished trying to reintegrate it back into my stash. I recently did a floss inventory, where I wrote beside the DMC number, the name of every project that has that floss. It's helped a lot because I frequently share floss between projects. But I really want my floss stash to be organized and your idea is absolutely perfect! ❤❤ I'm so grateful to be a part of this community where we can learn from each other. Happy stitching! 😊 PS. That's my favorite of your quilts so far! ❤
You are so kind to say! I am so happy you found this floss storage idea helpful. I agree that it is perfect whether you put floss on bobbins or on floss drops. When you get your flosses organized, I would love to hear how it works for you. See you again soon. Best, K
Karen I so enjoy seeing what you’ve been working on, both cross stitch and quilting. Your barn quilt is gorgeous !! I need to take notes while watching you so I can comment specifically on your projects. Love your floss organization . I need to do something in that area myself. Your Yellow Submarine is so cute - looking forward to seeing your finish on that piece. Thanks for a lovely flosstube ◡̈
Susan, Thank you so much for your kind words about my video. I am happy to know that you enjoy seeing the projects I show. Floss organization is an on-going problem, isn't it? So many different kinds, so little space. At least for now, I think I have my DMC taken care of. See you next time. Best, K
Hello Karen another gorgeous quilt. Love seeing all your WIPS. Your new start is going to be beautiful when finished. You could use walnut spray for the paper. Thank you and happy stitching
I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video and for your kind words. I will be happy to report back about my experiences at the 2025 retreats. Happy stitching. Best, K
All your stitching is exquisite. And I love your quilts also. I would never have the patience to quilt. Your project bags are beautiful. I guess your quilting knowledge comes in handy when doing other sewing. I wish you sold them. I would buy them. Love your fabric choices for the bags. That is a great idea for holding the dmc floss bobbins. I would love something like that instead of them being all over the place when not on a ring. You are very inspiring. Isabel
Isabel, I'm so glad you like my stitching and projects! I'm always working on ways to make my stitching life more organized and efficient. I appreciate knowing that you would buy my bags. I really don't want to run a business. Bookkeeping. Ugh. Happy stitching. Best, K
I wish I was one of those names. "Festive Forest" looks very interesting. (bees in the greenhouse). When you go to spray, the first pump, spray it away from your piece, as it can be a big blotch of color. The bigger the sparkles in the fabric the harder for me to stitch. Congrats on getting into the Attic's event. Jean (as usual) has lined up some great guest speakers. I'm not attending, maybe someday. Kreinik retired & sold to Rainbow Gallery. I use snack pack size bags for my used skeins of Overdyes, so I know to check them first. I think if you use one up, just add the name of it to an index card, and only buy if you need in the future. Very Nice Quilt, love the colors!!
Dee, Thank you so much for your comment on my video. I really appreciate your long-time support of my channel. Thank you for the heads up on the spray. I wish I could meet you at the Attic, but understand that it doesn't work for you. Thank you for sharing your system for floss storage. I appreciate it. Happy stitching. Best, K
Hi Karen ,stitcherista has sprayed her perforated paper with the Tim holt antique spray ,and it turned out great ,if you look at her videos ,it is awhile back .”l am sure it will be great ,as your crossstitch is just so beautiful.and your project bags you make are beautiful as well .happy stitching Karen .😘
Beverly, Thank you so much for letting me know about Stitcherista. I will check out her videos. You have given me confidence that my choice of the spray was right. Happy stitching. Best, K
I love the barn quilt. Blue is my favorite color and your quilt is just gorgeous. Your Red Cross stitch piece is so pretty. Sorry you have a miscount but you will get it worked out. Thanks for sharing!
I am glad you like the quilt. I think it will make a great addition to my collection! I know all stitchers understand the pain of discovering a huge mistake. I will get over it. Happy stitching. Best, K
I still haven't settled on a snow/frost project. My husband spotted and commented on this week's quilt from the other side of the room - so striking! Have a great week and see you soon!
Great video, what a fantastic year ahead with wonderful Retreats. You better order a big stash of needles to be prepared. Love all the bags you made and the quilt is beautiful. (Even tho its blue!) Yellow looks great on you too.
I think you are right. I will be ordering a stash of needles soon! Oh, Julia. You make me laugh. Someday, I will make a mostly green quilt just to make you happy. Best, K
Hi Karen. I will be attending Sampler Symposium in January. The event will be my first retreat. I’ve been quilting and stitching for a good number of years. I love your videos and your choices of projects. Hopefully I will be able to say a quick hello at the event.
It will be great to meet you! Please be sure to introduce yourself. I am really looking forward to that retreat. I have never been to The Attic and it is a bucket list item. See you in January. Happy stitching. Best, K
Well you have an exciting year coming up, good for you! I stitched Mary Amelia's bird on 40ct linen, it was an enjoyable stitch. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on paper. Have a lovey day!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am thrilled to be attending the sampler symposium this year. I was so hoping that you would be there too. Oh well. I am sure it will happen another time. Happy stitching. Best, K
Another great video, thanks for taking the time to share with us. Hey you Musta drove right by me on your way to Michigan. I am in northern Indiana. And if you drove up Highway 69 at all you came close. We’re just far enough north that if I had a snow day project, it better be a big one because we usually have quite a bit of snow. Jelly jelly jelly here for you going to the attic. It’s on my list someday also. My daughters father-in-law has a seasonal home in Phoenix and I keep trying to wiggle my way into his suitcase when he goes tehee tehee.
That is so funny. We drive up US31 because my son lives near the Lake Michigan shore. I am sure you get a lot of snow. As a native Michigander, I know snow days. That is why I now live in KY. Happy stitching. Best, K
I’ll see you at Useful Work. The Woodcliff Hotel and Spa is a fantastic location for retreats. Nicola and Kathleen are both wonderful teachers and Kathy and David Mills of Hobby House are top notch hosts. I hope to get to The Attic someday but HH has so many wonderful retreats and only a 70 minute drive for me.
Kathy, I will be thrilled to meet you at Hobby House. You have been a long-time follower of my channel and I really appreciate your comments and input. Happy stitching. Best, K
You have been so busy! 2025 is going to be amazing for you. How fortunate to get into those particular retreats!! I’m still deciding on my snow day stitch. I think (and actually hope) I won’t have very many snow days to stitch a large project. See you in a few days.
Hi there. I will be going to Useful Work in August. My first trip to HobbyHouse. Looking forward to meeting you! I went to Sampler Symposium this past January. First time to The Attic. It was amazing!!! You will have so much fun.
I can’t wait to meet you at Hobby House and thank you for your report about Sampler Symposium! I am very much looking forward to it. See you in August! Happy stitching. Best, K
Great to see you this evening Karen. You have a really interesting & exciting year ahead. I look forward to hearing all about the retreats. That quilt is beautiful as are all your projects. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
I am so appreciative of your long-standing support of my channel. I think you are one of my first followers. Thank you for your comment on my video. Happy stitching. Best, K
That's awesome! Be sure to say hi to me. I look forward to meeting you. It will be my first time at the Attic, so I am super excited. Happy stitching. Best, K
Karen your blue quilt is stunning . The border is such a pretty design. Pretty finish on leann’s stitch and I think the yellow sub is awesome on your linen. Good luck with fudging on anna it’s so gorgeous. What fun stitching travel plans !!! Great purse finish.
Great video, as usual. On the Tim Holt spray, you could try it out first on a regular piece of paper so you see how fast it comes out, how heavy the color looks, etc.
Hello, Karen! I’m so excited to meet you at both Sampler Symposium and Hobby House Useful Work. I would love to talk to you about the central Kentucky things. I follow several groups because one step daughter lives in Lexington and one lives in Louisville so I could possibly attend some of your functions. Oh and love your bag!!!
Carlene, Thank you so much for your comment! I look forward to meeting you. You and your daughters would be very welcome to meet with Central Kentucky Stitchers. If you join the Facebook group you would know the dates of our meet ups. Happy stitching. Best, K
Hi Karen, I feel very fortunate to be attending both Sampler symposium & Useful Work. I look forward to meeting you in person! I’m a quilter newly back to stitching. January will be my first retreat. 🎉
Cindy, Thank you so much for letting me know that you will be at both of the retreats I will be attending. Please introduce yourself to me so I can make a connection with you. I think your first retreat will be one of the best ever. Happy stitching. Best, K
That’s a great idea for keeping track of your floss and being sure to replenish it as needed. I am leaning toward that too. Thanks for stopping by. Happy stitching. Best, K
I was at sampler symposium in August and it is a trip to be treasured. I met Kim and got to visit with her a little bit as well as many others that have floss tubes. I’m an unknown! you will have an absolutely phenomenal time and the swag bags and all the things and Jean puts on and extraordinaire symposium that goes without saying. I’ll be anxious to hear how you enjoyed yourself.
I appreciate your sharing with me you experience at The Attic. I can't wait, of course. BTW, there is nothing special about those of us who do Floss tube videos. We are all just stitchers like you. I would love to meet you at a retreat sometime. Happy stitching. Best, K
I think every stitcher has to get there at least once. This will probably be my only chance. I have other places still on my bucket list. Happy stitching. Best, K
Thanks for the visit! I love seeing your progress. I've started Nessie Mitchell for Black Sampler November and working on my current SALs, with 2 new ones starting in December, plus the Jingle Ball, so lots of fun stitching to look forward to. Happy stitching!
It sounds like you have lots of fun stitching in your future. I would love to meet you at the Jingle Ball. I don't know what meet up groups will be set up, but you can contact me through IG or gmail to let me know where you will be. Happy stitching. Best, K
I am a quilter as well as a cross stitcher and I too had to make a commitment to my quilting as cross stitch took all my craft time. So now I quilt during the day and do cross stitch in the evening.
Cathy, I am happy that you were able to find a balance between cross stitch and quilting. I find it to be very satisfying to do both. Happy stitching. Best, K
Hi, Karen. I’m very fortunate to be going to both Sampler Symposium and Useful Work, too! I look forward to meeting you in January. I went to Sampler Symposium last January, too. It was my first Attic event. If you’re staying at the Hilton, the shuttle is wonderful. It takes you to the Attic, but also to restaurants or whatever within five miles. There are also lots of stitchers stitching in the lobby the whole event, so you can meet lots of people that way. Bring a cordless light so you can stitch anywhere. I’m a quilter, too, but that’s taken a back seat to cross stitch the last couple years. Always enjoy seeing all your beautiful projects!
Kathy, I can’t wait to see you at both events too! Thank you for letting me know about the shuttles. I am so over the moon about attending these events. Be sure to introduce yourself to me so I will know who you are. Happy stitching. Best, K
How many threads are you using on your 36-count linens? Your projects looks so much fuller than mine with one over two. Love your beautiful quilt. A work of art!
Which specific projects are you asking about? In general, on 36 ct I use two strands. However, depending on the project, I might use 1 strand if I like the way it looks. Let me know if you need more information. Happy stitching. Best, K
I'm planning on stitching Americana Blue for my Snow Day stitch! And I'd love to meet up with you at Hobby House! I'm not going to the retreat but I live just an hour away just outside of Buffalo!
That is a great choice! Let's plan to meet up at Hobby House. I can’t wait to stitch with you! We can be in touch when it is closer to August. Happy stitching. Best, K
I am thrilled to hear that. Please join Central Kentucky Stitchers on Facebook. You will know our schedule and where we meet. We meet in person on the second Tuesday of the month at the Scott County Library in Georgetown. You are welcome to come any time it works for you. We also Zoom in the evening, but I can't remember the day. That is also on the FB site. I would love to meet you and stitch with you. Happy stitching. Best, K
Thank you for asking. It is Classic Color Works Used Brick. The designer says that it is the closest to the color on the original sampler. Happy stitching. Best, K
Karen, your WIPs are coming along! Loved hearing about your plans...I know those retreats will be special memories. Your Barn quilt is gorgeous!!! Happy Stitching! xoxo

I wish I was one of those names. "Festive Forest" looks very interesting. (bees in the greenhouse). When you go to spray, the first pump, spray it away from your piece, as it can be a big blotch of color. The bigger the sparkles in the fabric the harder for me to stitch. Congrats on getting into the Attic's event. Jean (as usual) has lined up some great guest speakers. I'm not attending, maybe someday. Kreinik retired & sold to Rainbow Gallery.

Great video, what a fantastic year ahead with wonderful Retreats. You better order a big stash of needles to be prepared. Love all the bags you made and the quilt is beautiful.

Your quilt, as well as your stitching, is fabulous. So happy to hear that you got in to Sampler Symposium!! You will love every minute.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I am thrilled to be attending the sampler symposium this year. I was so hoping that you would be there too. Oh well. I am sure it will happen another time. Happy stitching. Best, K

That quilt behind you is just amazing!!!
Thank you so much for your compliment. I love your videos and you work; Happy stitching. Best, K
I’m going to Hobby House in August…can’t wait!
We are both excited beyond words. Please be sure to introduce yourself to me when we are there. I would love to meet you. Happy stitching. Best, K

Absolutely gorgeous barn quilt. Love all your stitching, you are so talented. Love seeing you

That’s a great idea for keeping track of your floss and being sure to replenish it as needed. I am leaning toward that too. Thanks for stopping by. Happy stitching. Best, K
I was at sampler symposium in August and it is a trip to be treasured. I met Kim and got to visit with her a little bit as well as many others that have floss tubes. I’m an unknown! you will have an absolutely phenomenal time and the swag bags and all the things and Jean puts on and extraordinaire symposium that goes without saying. I’ll be anxious to hear how you enjoyed yourself.
I appreciate your sharing with me you experience at The Attic. I can't wait, of course. BTW, there is nothing special about those of us who do Floss tube videos. We are all just stitchers like you. I would love to meet you at a retreat sometime. Happy stitching. Best, K
Thank you for sharing. Happy to hear you will be going to the attic. It’s on my bucket list.
I think every stitcher has to get there at least once. This will probably be my only chance. I have other places still on my bucket list. Happy stitching. Best, K
Thanks for the visit! I love seeing your progress. I've started Nessie Mitchell for Black Sampler November and working on my current SALs, with 2 new ones starting in December, plus the Jingle Ball, so lots of fun stitching to look forward to. Happy stitching!
It sounds like you have lots of fun stitching in your future. I would love to meet you at the Jingle Ball. I don't know what meet up groups will be set up, but you can contact me through IG or gmail to let me know where you will be. Happy stitching. Best, K
I am a quilter as well as a cross stitcher and I too had to make a commitment to my quilting as cross stitch took all my craft time. So now I quilt during the day and do cross stitch in the evening.
Cathy, I am happy that you were able to find a balance between cross stitch and quilting. I find it to be very satisfying to do both. Happy stitching. Best, K
Oh I can’t wait to meet you Karen!! Great video as always ❤
Brenda, I can't wait to meet you either. It will be a happy time. My heart is too full to express my excitement. Happy stitching. Best, K
Hi, Karen. I’m very fortunate to be going to both Sampler Symposium and Useful Work, too! I look forward to meeting you in January. I went to Sampler Symposium last January, too. It was my first Attic event. If you’re staying at the Hilton, the shuttle is wonderful. It takes you to the Attic, but also to restaurants or whatever within five miles. There are also lots of stitchers stitching in the lobby the whole event, so you can meet lots of people that way. Bring a cordless light so you can stitch anywhere. I’m a quilter, too, but that’s taken a back seat to cross stitch the last couple years. Always enjoy seeing all your beautiful projects!
Kathy, I can’t wait to see you at both events too! Thank you for letting me know about the shuttles. I am so over the moon about attending these events. Be sure to introduce yourself to me so I will know who you are. Happy stitching. Best, K
I am going to Sampler Symposium in January! 😀
Thank you so much for letting me know. You will have to introduce yourself to me so I can give you a little gift. Happy stitching. Best, K
How many threads are you using on your 36-count linens? Your projects looks so much fuller than mine with one over two.
Love your beautiful quilt. A work of art!
Which specific projects are you asking about? In general, on 36 ct I use two strands. However, depending on the project, I might use 1 strand if I like the way it looks. Let me know if you need more information. Happy stitching. Best, K
Thanks❤
Thank you for watching! Best, K.
I'm planning on stitching Americana Blue for my Snow Day stitch! And I'd love to meet up with you at Hobby House! I'm not going to the retreat but I live just an hour away just outside of Buffalo!
That is a great choice! Let's plan to meet up at Hobby House. I can’t wait to stitch with you! We can be in touch when it is closer to August. Happy stitching. Best, K
I’m in central Kentucky would love to connect with some stitchers 😊
I am thrilled to hear that. Please join Central Kentucky Stitchers on Facebook. You will know our schedule and where we meet. We meet in person on the second Tuesday of the month at the Scott County Library in Georgetown. You are welcome to come any time it works for you. We also Zoom in the evening, but I can't remember the day. That is also on the FB site. I would love to meet you and stitch with you. Happy stitching. Best, K
Karen, Who is the make/brand and color of the floss you used in Anna Ohman (I think that’s how you spell it). Thanks in advance.
Thank you for asking. It is Classic Color Works Used Brick. The designer says that it is the closest to the color on the original sampler. Happy stitching. Best, K
@ Thank you!
