Oh I love the bubblegum wrapper chain,brings back memories of my growing up years and making long chains. Was so fun to see this. It would be fun to use on a Christmas tree garland. Loveyour stitching you showed today,beautiful work.So gladyou started a stitching group,they are thevery best. Thank you both. Bet Drew can get that green box cleaned up for you. 😊
The bubblegum wrapper chain has brought back memories for a lot of people it seems. I glad we remembered to show it! And I love the Christmas tree garland idea. We're going to have to do that! Thank you so much for watching!
So good to see you both today - and I love your new patterns. I was born and raised in IA , but moved to MN when I finished school so I enjoy hearing about your gardening, your chickens and seeing your stitching. Stitching and loving the rural landscape will always be in my blood. Kudos to you for finding a stitching group. I went to a sewing retreat last week for 4 days after many years of not going and I had a great time. It was good to be with kindred spirits and I look forward to attending again next year. Happy stitching and creating and thank you as always for sharing your time and talents. 😊
I was recently told by someone that they love how my Iowa-ness shows through in my designs. I never really thought about it but I guess it's true. I think it would be hard to take the Iowa out of any of us who were born and raised here! I've never been to MN but hope to visit one day. My daughter and her family just vacationed there and it looks beautiful! A sewing retreat sounds fun! Thank you for your kind words and for watching us. Happy creating!
@@AsberysEchoesStitches - I love going back to Iowa - my older sister brought me up to the Twin Cities after I finished school, I met a (city boy from Minneapolis) LOL- we got married and have 2 boys - still live in the suburbs and I am always sad I could never raise chickens - depends where you live. We love to take road trips and I’m always looking out the window (while I’m stitching) to see how the crops are growing, the beautiful farms, barns and livestock. Just so peaceful. My husband is and always has been good to let me have my menagerie of cats and dogs over the years as well as letting our boys have their own pets. Have a good July 4th and happy stitching 🧵😊
I love your new summer pattern with the sunflowers. And wow, that gum wrapper chain…I remember making one with my friend. I don’t know what happened to it. I’m glad you have found a crafting group to share time and talent with.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching. I made a gum wrapper chain when I was young too and have no idea what happened to it! So I made a short when a few years ago just to see if I could remember how to do it.
I love your Blue House series, I would want to have them on display all the time. The style of your designs are perfectly prim, I enjoy seeing the new ones you are creating. It’s wonderful that you have a stitching group, it’s so nice to get together with like minded people. The gum wrapper chain is amazing, I’d love to know how long it is. Have fun camping and have a Happy 4th of July!
I'm working on getting the Blue House series finished so I can display them all! I'm glad you like them too! Drew and I are going to have to measure the chain sometime and see just how long it is - and I need to ask the lady who gave it to me if she did it all herself, and if so how long did it take. It's pretty impressive! Happy 4th to you too!
Always enjoy your videos ! I have heard you say on several videos that you live in a small house , my house is 960 sq. feet and 1 bathroom. My husband and I have lived in it 38 years and raised our 3 children here . “Love grows best in small houses “ 💖🙏🏻
Yes - love grows best in small houses! Ours is a little bigger, 1200 sq. feet I think, but one bathroom and four children. We've been here for 34 years. I bet we have a lot of similar stories to tell!
So good to see you! Love sitting at the table with you and Drew!😜Im happy for you starting the stitch group! I definitely think it’s exciting! Can’t wait to hear about your new project or venture! 😍
Thank you for watching us and for the kind words! I might be a little too excited about the stitch group but it's just so enjoyable to be with others who have the same love of stitching! Have a great week!
Great video. Never saw a gum wrapper chain before. Looks like fun. Love the new patterns, I just finished Two Roosters love it. Have a fun camping trip.
Hello Drew and Rhonda: Nice to see you again, we have missed you both. Drew: I am interested who is Sleeperdude? just curious. In Duluth Minnesota there is a lift bridge that goes up, your designs are so sweet and vintage looking, Rhonda you always pick the perfect finish, I also use Brewax, it is great. I do not think you have shown the finished construction of the design, oh my gosh the squirrels are adorable, if I lived close to you I would love to sit and sit and stich and talk about stitching and your designs, I am a lonely stitcher, no one here in Annandale Mn. stitch's that I know of, so happy you were able to stitch with a group, what a great idea for the shop. Love the green box, wowzer, oh the bubble gum wrapper chain is amazing, we made small ones to wear but that looks like something that could be hung on a tree at Christmas, love it, Drew you are so lucky to have that. Love the cabinet, she is the Mother Hen design from Not Forgotten Farm, love your finish.
Sleeperdude is a TH-cam channel that we enjoy watching together as a family. It's a husband and wife and their three children. They go out and find old vehicles and get them running again. They also have goats, potbellied pigs, cats, dogs, etc. and the animals are always in the shop with them. They are fun to watch! I would love to sit and stitch and talk with you! I never understood just how fun it would be to sit and stitch with others and talk about our crafts. I'm excited that we all wanted to get together again and try to make it a monthly thing. Great idea to hang the bubblegum wrapper on a Christmas tree - we might have to do that. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Happy stitching!
I'm not sure if we can be friends anymore, if you don't like iced tea! I am sooooo addicted to sweet tea! I'm a tea-aholic. I love the box! You could display it open, and use it like a dough bowl. You could put a stitched piece on the inside of the lid. I used to make the chains. What an awesome gift! I don't remember how to make them.
I'm working on being a tea lover! I was addicted to Diet Pepsi for years and finally broke the habit. Sometimes I get tired of only drinking water. Great idea to put a stitched piece on the inside of the box. I might run with that!
I always enjoy seeing you and Drew. The bubble gum wrapper chain certainly brought back a lot of memories. In my day, we didn’t cut the wrappers in half. That’s because I’m really ancient!
I don't remember cutting the wrappers in half either when I made them! I was surprised that she did that and thought maybe I wasn't remembering correctly! Thank you for watching!
You've been missed! I remember making a chain like that many years ago. Love your new patterns. It's always great to see other options for finishing besides pillows and picture frames. I don't know of anyone else that cross stitches either. I'm happy that you were able to find a group to spend time with and share your hobbies.
It's nice to hear that we've been missed! I have so many pillows and framed pieces, and it's fun to look for other options. And to reuse old things and give them a new purpose! Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
Are you looking for The Nicest Word? It has been put back up although the picture I have in listing is the picture with the cat button. I forgot to talk about the cat button. But the pattern itself will have the little cat sitting on the fence charted. You have the choice of the stitching the cat or purchasing a button from My Stitching Peace Store on Facebook. Sorry about the confusion. Thank you so much for watching us! Rhonda
Playing catch up with all my floss tube friends and on to the next video and love all your designs have a wonderful evening and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
I need to play catch up too - summer and floss tube just don't always work together! Thank you for watching! Happy stitching!

Thank you! We had a great time camping and we're glad to get home last night! Thank you for watching!
I remember making a gum chain in the late 60's Teaberry was my favorite at the time. Thank you for the memory.
Oh Teaberry, I forgot about that one. I loved Black Jack. Probably because my grandpa always had Black Jack gum in his pocket! Thank you for watching!

@@teresajenningsoldstoneycreek It was hard for me to approach anyone about starting something but now I’m glad I did!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful patterns ❤
Thank you for the kind words and for watching!
Cracker Barrel has the gums you were talking about, in Indiana anyway. Brings back memories 💞🇺🇸♥️
I'm going to have to look next time we go to Cracker Barrel! I love those old gums!
Great video. Never saw a gum wrapper chain before. Looks like fun. Love the new patterns, I just finished Two Roosters love it. Have a fun camping trip.
Thank you for the kind words and for watching! The camping trip wore me out and we had so much fun! I hope you enjoyed stitch Two Roosters!
Love all of your videos. Happy 4th!

Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Happy stitching!
I just found your flosstube. Love your stitching. Will be ordering from your etsy shop.
Thank you for the kind words! I hope you find a pattern you would like to stitch!

@@AsberysEchoesStitches I’m sure the half wrappers are easier to fold.
@@janet_idleknot They are!
Fun video Rhonda and Drew! WOW! that is a super long chain. I do remember making short ones. Love you patterns. Can't wait to see your new adventure.
Thank you and thanks for watching!

Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Just found your videos and love your patterns! I didn’t see Sunflower Rows on your Etsy shop and would like to purchase
I'm going to put the pattern back in the shop right now! Thank you for watching us!
Welcome back!
Thank you!
Your houses would look great framed in an old window
I agree - that is a great idea! Now I might have to start looking for an old window! Rhonda
❤❤❤❤
Hi Drew!
We are literally in the same room, but hi 😭✋
I can't seem to find the first cross stitch you showed in your video on your Etsy shop
