You are a prolific stitcher Gerald. I always find it interesting what the guys are stitching. I love your planets...just beautiful. I am more of a sampler gal myself with a little Lizzie Kate thrown in for fun. After being a one project stitcher for 30 something years I am now working on a rotation of six WIPS. I find I do not get bored with my stitching now thanks to Floss tube. I have a little grandson who is autistic...he is five and non verbal but we live in hope that one day he will start to talk. Thank your for your dedication to special needs children.
Hi Arlene, Thanks for watching and thank you for the support of my career. From what I have found with non-verbal students, is stay positive, keep speaking and modeling, and maybe one day he will use his voice. But, if he doesn't, don't let that discourage you! There are many ways through communication systems and devices that he may be able to utilize to speak.
Thanks Gerald...that really helps! He is doing Geminni along with speech therapy. His therapist told his mom that he sees speech as a Last Option.:) He is an amazing little guy who can do puzzles like nobody's business. I am looking forward to more of your videos!
Welcome to Flosstube, Gerald. I can't believe how much stitching you've done in only FOUR MONTHS!!! Those planets are amazing - I'm a huge astronomy freak. I've considered doing those myself but the black aida puts me off. However, now I've seen them stitched up I might think again! Can't wait to see the others done too.
For someone so new to stitching, you have done some fabulous pieces! I can't wait to see your Olde World Map framed. And I am completely envious of your fabric stash.
The solar system finishes are fantastic! Well done you :-) You are totally right about the Crowns of the Kingdom, it looks AMAZING on the blue fabric. Pleased to have found your videos, Happy stitching, Melissa :-)
I love it when I seen a stitcher who is a man. There are so few of you, You are amazing in how many finished objects you have just starting to stitch in July. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Take Care, Sherry
Welcome to our stitching world. First video, big thumbs up. I don't video but sure watch a bunch of them. Always glad to see male stitchers and their take on stitching. Love your ink circles, I did one and really enjoyed
I enjoyed your video and look forward to more. You are a remarkably fast stitcher to have done so much since July. The planets are great--I like how they naturally vary in size. They will be stunning when hung together.
Nice job on your video. I too am amazed at what you've completed in such a short time, plus you've tried linen, hand-dyed fabrics, petite treasure braid, and sals-way to go!
Welcome to FT! The solar system pieces are amazing, such detail in such a small piece! Great call on the colored fabric for the crown pattern, it's going to look amazing!
Welcome -- enjoyed your video. You've been amazingly productive in the short time you've been stitching, and you've tackled some more advanced projects. I like your Rosewood Manor piece on the hand-dyed fabric. I agree it really pops. Great idea.
Wow ! I absolutely adore your Ink Circles piece! Very stunning ! Thank you for sharing your finishes (holy moly!!) and WIPs! Looking forward to seeing more videos from you !!
Loved your video....I just retired from teaching after 30 years as a Special Education Director....I have a specialized degree in Autism....plus I love to stitch!! Welcome to the FlossTube community!
Welcome to our Flosstube family! As a first video- you did very well. I'm awed that you have all those things already done and trying out right away 32 ct, linen, hand-dyed fabrics, silks etc. It looks like you are well dedicated in this hobby. Nice work and keep on stitching!
Welcome from Ct. Gerald! Always love to see a new male cross stitcher. Great video and hope to see you often doing more videos. Wow, You have a lot of great finishes! Just love the fabrics you have in your stash and on your WIPS, especially the yellow.
Welcome to Flosstube. I really enjoyed seeing your wips. I think your map turned out great as I saw a picture of it on Instagram. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you. Happy stitching.
I loved the video, it's so nice to see more male stitchers! My Dad was taught lots of needlework skills when he was young by his grandmother, great aunt and mother. These same skilled women started my love of fiber arts when they taught me to knit at age 5 and I have been happily indulging in many forms since then. Now I mostly cross stitch with some sewing and knitting as well. I love your taste in fabrics, you've chosen some beautiful colors and I can't wait to watch your progress as you use them. You've managed to get quite a lot of stitching done in just a few short months so congratulations on that, hope you show your map in your Dec. video. I have worked with children for over 30 years and most of that time has been with children with various disabilities in development. I have worked with autistic spectrum children and their families since my first job right out of university in 1974 so you can tell I'm no spring chicken. I'm retired now and look after my grandchildren most weekdays, I feel blessed to be able to help raise them. My grandson who is 3 is being assessed for spectrum disorder and because he was not developing language skills we are currently working with a progress center and speech therapists with a lot of success . He has started talking using 1 or two words and that has improved his frustration immensely . I don't make videos, mostly because I just don't have enough content to be of interest but I love floss tube, watch lots of you all and comment often. I am on Instagram as. carolyndawn60 If you'd like to see what I get up to. Happy stitching! 🙋🏼🤗🇨🇦
Thanks for the support and comments! I learned from my mom years ago and gave up for a long time, and never finished a piece. I will be making another video when my pieces come back from the framer.
Gerald - great first video. I love your planets - beautiful on black fabric. Can't wait to see your map piece. I love that book too - Pillars of the Earth. Please do come back and make another video - your stitching is beautiful!
Welcome to Flosstube. Great 1st Video. My favorite is also yellow, and then blue's and purple's.... Your finishes are amazing, my favorite is the Reflections of New York City...it's absolutely gorgeous. Looking forward to more video's.
Wow! So many wonderful finishes in such a short time! Thank you for sharing your work. I look forward to seeing more from your channel in the future -- more planets, more of the crowns, whatever comes next. It will be a pleasure to see your progress.
I wish I was more concrete like you, I am pretty flighty and wish washy.. My craft room reflects it. I am glad you made a floss tube, I am very shy so I don't think I could do one. Please make more, Lynne
Great first video!!! I love the Crowns of the Kingdom piece! I just received that pattern in the mail. All of your finishes and wips are great. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks Danielle! I love the Crowns of the Kingdom piece too, so far it has been my favorite to stitch and the most I have ever had to frog! Love watching your videos too!
Excellent first video, I've been stitching 20 years and my olde world map from Janlynn is still waiting to be started, how awesome that it was your first project, mine is coming out of the stash box soon.
Great first video. I love your finishes and your wips. Its amazing what you have all stitched so far as a new stitcher. Looking forward to your framed map.
Enjoyed your first video. Ill be watching for more. Happy to see some different charts. Your planets are beautiful, as are your other pieces. I don't make videos but I do cross stitch and I think your work is everybody as good as any other I've seen .Thank you
What beautiful pieces you have! I'm so impressed that you've only been stitching since July and are working on such intricate pieces. I love "Reflections of New York." I have the Paris chart all kitted up for next year, on the same fabric as yours! lol. but I'll stitch it with Classic Colourworks Belle Soie threads (elegant eggplant). I'm a bit nervous because in my 30+ years of stitching, I've never worked on a piece like that. can't wait to see how your maps piece looks all framed up! looking forward to your next video.
I very much enjoyed stitching Reflections of Ink Circles, however, at times it did get boring because you stitch the same thing up to 8 times. Thank you for watching!
Hello! and Welcome. Great video. I love the planets you are stitching. I may have to go and get those patterns. My son loves space and planets. I would love to stitch those. I also stitched the Frosted Pumpkin National Parks, I love your change to the light house. That was very clever. I hope you keep making videos, you did a great job.
Great first video! You have a lot of finishes for just starting in July! The crowns of the kingdom look awesome on that fabric! Looking forward to seeing your progress!
I love your finishes! I can't wait to see the map when you get it back. The planet's are gorgeous and your ink circles piece is stunning. You wips are lovely and I enjoyed seeing your stash. Great first video!
Great video I've enjoyed watching your progress on IG .. nice to meet you. Love your crowns and planets projects🌎👑. You are a fast stitcher having completed so much in a short time ...look forward to following your progress.
Welcome to Flosstube! Loved your Reflections of New York, it's utterly stunning in that thread. That crowns piece is going to look fantastic, and the purple fabric you plan to do your own one on is just gorgeous. I've added you on Instagram so I can keep drooling over those pieces (and trying to resist buying the charts myself!)
Welcome! I think your video went really well - great flow. I can't believe you started in July! You've accomplished a lot - and it's beautiful. The reflections of NY is great - and I'm not a fan of the color yellow - but I love the piece. Can't wait to see more - looking forward to seeing the old world maps piece. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome to flosstube! Im working on Old World Map now too! Cant wait to see it framed. I make maps for living so I share your love. Cant wait for your next video.
Hi Gerald, nice to meet you! Great finishes, especially love the planets. I can't wait to see how you finish and display them. Hope to see more videos from you soon. I've subbed you! 😀 Off to find you on Instagram now! 😃 Hugs Dee xxxx
Thanks for watching Carrie! I stress over my choices too but ultimately, I pick what I like or what I think the people receiving the project will like (really what I like, haha) and just go with it.
I'm so happy to find this video!! Your fabrics are amazing!! The blue and yellow one is beautiful as is!! That royal purple is amazing. Crowns of the Kingdom will be amazing on that fabric. You have a lot of finishes to have just started stitching in July!! I admire your discipline!!! Hope you keep recording! Loved your first video!!
Hi Gerald, I'm thrilled you decided to upload videos, because my two sons who are learning to stitch were starting to ask why I only have girlfriends cross stitching and no boyfriends... The oldest is 6... Thank you for sharing your projects with our family. I was drawn to the fabric choices and your crown pattern, great idea, must add to my wishlist. Excited to see the map framed... great first video, looking forward to more!
Thanks Shana for you and your family's viewing of my video. I am glad I can help show your boys that men can stitch too. There are other male stitchers on FlossTube you should definately watch if you haven't started, Stitcher Moose and Blitstitch, they are much more advanced and skilled than I.
welcome to the stitching community, your work is beautiful. I am from Philly suburbs, I would love to find a local stitch retreat, they look like fun. keep the videos coming
Hi Lisa, thanks for watching and it is exciting to finally meet some close by stitchers. It would be awesome to find a local stitching retreat, or maybe start one, or find a group of people that would like to get together to stitch.
Great video! I have enjoyed watching your progress on Instagram and I am glad that you decided you start making videos. I really like how Crowns is turning out.
Awesome first video! And wow wow wow --- your first cross stitched piece is that map??? Holy smokes that was a real dive in head first way to start stitching! Loving your crown piece so far too! 👍
Wonderful introductory video! Enjoyed seeing your projects and stash. Look forward to seeing Map after framing. Colors in Crowns are beautiful. Your friend will surely love it. Also from your area of NJ. Nice to see a local floss tuber. Getting back into cross stitch after years away myself. Was an Aida stitcher before. Plan to use a variety of fabrics this time around. Happy stitching until your next video!
Hi Gerald! Happy to see you here, as I've indicated to you before on your IG pics I adore your perfect stitching and am SHOCKED that you just started stitching.... my word...you have taken to it like a duck to water! Welcome!
I am honored that you think i have perfect stitching. While I am flattered, I don't think anybody is ever perfect and life is made to strive for perfection. I love watching your videos and think that your stitching is much closer to perfection than mine. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Wow! Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing them with us. Can't wait to see more from you. The Rosewood manor piece gets taken to another level on the fabric you've chosen.
I loved finding you here on flosstube today! I've been following your projects over on IG (I'm littlebirdstitcher over there) - your key project is gorgeous!!
awesome video. i loved seeing all your work and i'm anxious to see more from you. i also subscribed... take care my new friend........ Beverly & Teddybear (furbaby)
Fabulous first video. You are amazing having been stitching since July. Your finishes are beautiful. We are practically neighbors. I am in South Jersey as well but closer to the shore. Do you ever travel up to The Strawberry Sampler in Chads Ford PA. About an hour from you and it is an LNS that is definitely worth traveling for. Looking forward to more videos from you.
We are kindred spirits! I am an SLP who works with Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled high school students. I love Downton Abby.....and I just loved your flosstube! I am totally jealous that you are such a quick stitcher! You have gotten a lot done in a short time!
Gerald, what a great job you did of your very first video. I loved it. I was very interested in your fabric choices. Beautiful stuff and also great projects. Happy Stitching!
Really enjoyed seeing your work. I love all the finishes and wips. Can't wait to see the finished map; I am working on it right now. It is going very slowly for me; only a quarter done. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Gerald and welcome to flosstube. Love your first video, keep on stitching! 😁
I really like planets. Good job. Good luck
I wish I was more concrete like you, I am pretty flighty and wish washy.. My craft room reflects it.
I am glad you made a floss tube, I am very shy so I don't think I could do one. Please make more, Lynne
I think there is a respect for balance between concrete and wishy washy. Thanks for watching!

What beautiful pieces you have! I'm so impressed that you've only been stitching since July and are working on such intricate pieces. I love "Reflections of New York." I have the Paris chart all kitted up for next year, on the same fabric as yours! lol. but I'll stitch it with Classic Colourworks Belle Soie threads (elegant eggplant). I'm a bit nervous because in my 30+ years of stitching, I've never worked on a piece like that. can't wait to see how your maps piece looks all framed up! looking forward to your next video.

Thanks for watching! I love the planets patterns, FYI if you stitch all 9 planets it takes 112? DMC colors! But it makes them so vibrant and detailed.
Enjoyed your video very much!
Great first video! You have a lot of finishes for just starting in July! The crowns of the kingdom look awesome on that fabric! Looking forward to seeing your progress!
I love your finishes! I can't wait to see the map when you get it back. The planet's are gorgeous and your ink circles piece is stunning. You wips are lovely and I enjoyed seeing your stash. Great first video!

Loved your stitching! You have completed a lot of stitching since you just started. I am a sped teacher also in Ar.
I love the crowns! Good fabric choice, I have such a hard time picking something that will look good👍👍
Thanks for watching Carrie! I stress over my choices too but ultimately, I pick what I like or what I think the people receiving the project will like (really what I like, haha) and just go with it.
I'm so happy to find this video!! Your fabrics are amazing!! The blue and yellow one is beautiful as is!! That royal purple is amazing. Crowns of the Kingdom will be amazing on that fabric.

Ginger Gerald Stitcher - your so sweet for getting back to me, maybe we could organize something in 2017
That would be fun and something to look forward to!
Framing is exorbitantly expensive! I am starting on your videos, in order. I look forward to your framing video. Thank you ever so much! 💗🙏
Welcome to Flosstube!
Thanks! I love watching your videos!
Great video! I have enjoyed watching your progress on Instagram and I am glad that you decided you start making videos. I really like how Crowns is turning out.
Thanks for watching, your response to my comment on your last video is what helped motivate me to start making videos!
Awesome first video! And wow wow wow --- your first cross stitched piece is that map??? Holy smokes that was a real dive in head first way to start stitching! Loving your crown piece so far too! 👍
Your first finish was Old World Maps? You're my hero! Love the video... Blessings, Marlene
Hi Marlene, thanks for watching and yes Olde World Map was my very first finish.
Wonderful introductory video! Enjoyed seeing your projects and stash. Look forward to seeing Map after framing. Colors in Crowns are beautiful. Your friend will surely love it. Also from your area of NJ. Nice to see a local floss tuber. Getting back into cross stitch after years away myself. Was an Aida stitcher before. Plan to use a variety of fabrics this time around. Happy stitching until your next video!
Yay! Another SJ stitcher. I do not know anyone around me that stitches. Do you know of any LNS's in our area?
Hey welcome from England xxx

I lived in Korea for 5 years (Army, not teaching). I loved it. I was there from 2004-2009. I love and miss Korea so very much.
What part of Korea? I was in Gimhae.
Ginger Gerald Stitcher I was in Seoul. I lived near Myongdong but I was stationed in Yongsan.
Fabulous first video. You are amazing having been stitching since July. Your finishes are beautiful. We are practically neighbors. I am in South Jersey as well but closer to the shore. Do you ever travel up to The Strawberry Sampler in Chads Ford PA. About an hour from you and it is an LNS that is definitely worth traveling for. Looking forward to more videos from you.
We are kindred spirits! I am an SLP who works with Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled high school students. I love Downton Abby.....and I just loved your flosstube! I am totally jealous that you are such a quick stitcher! You have gotten a lot done in a short time!
Gerald, what a great job you did of your very first video. I loved it. I was very interested in your fabric choices. Beautiful stuff and also great projects. Happy Stitching!
Great choice of fabric for your crown project. Just beautiful!
Holy smokes!!! These are your first pieces? You rocked it!!! Following you and look forward to all your videos.
Really enjoyed seeing your work. I love all the finishes and wips. Can't wait to see the finished map; I am working on it right now. It is going very slowly for me; only a quarter done. Thanks for sharing!
New to the Flosstube addiction. I call it craft crack.Your stitching is gorgeous! I sure I will be binge watching.
