Great report Carol! I am 24 years cancer free and enjoying life. I love seeing your quilts each week and all the stitching. I have never been to a retreat but would probably take 2-3 projects. I tend to work on only a couple of projects a week. Now I am enjoying spring stitching with a basket and bunny and finishing up New World Sampler.
Carol and Jen! Greetings from Dallas! I usually take 2 projects to a retreat. Going to Stitch North at the end of April. Another fun video from you two! I have a bee in my beehive!! Thanks so much!
Congratulations on your five year cancer free check-up!
Congrats on 5 years cancer free!🎉 Happy 3 years on floss tube.
I work on 2 projects per week.
Beehive, bunny, basket
Hi ladies. Thank you for 3 years of fun videos 😊. Congratulations on Carol's all clear and 'almost' finish and Jen's FFO🎉. I understand that at a retreat there's often a free chart, so I'll take two wips from home and use the new one as my third. ⚘️
Spring brings joy with basket, bunny, and beehive. I hope to get to a retreat sometime! That would be a dream come true! Enjoy your stitchy time with friends!
Thanks for all the fun! Hallelujah that cancer is quiet. Thanks for the time you put into these wonderful flosstubes. Watching you makes me as happy as a bunny in a fresh garden.
Today I saw the Easter bunny hopping in my backyard hiding the Easter eggs he was carrying in his basket. I always bring waaaay to many projects on retreat. At a stitching retreat I may change projects each day.
Thanks Jen and Carol for everything you all shared...congratulations on three years of your delightful podcast...I usually stitch on one project at a time...love bunny, basket and beehive...I live in Charlottesville Va...so glad you enjoyed yourself here...Carol...so happy so hear your health news...best wishes ❤❤
I enjoy your videos. I generally work on 2 different stitching projects at a time, however I usually have several quilting projects fighting for my attention. The basket was near the beehive.....buzz buzz!
Enjoyed the video! I found a Bunny & Beehive in my Easter Spring basket - I hope I remembered the right words…lol Happy stitching! 🪡🧵🪡
Bunny, basket. Love your calming videos ❤. Your quilt screams Spring-so beautiful!
So happy to hear your good news, Carol! I'm a 10 year survivor. Easter is my favorite holiday...I love it all...the basket, the eggs, the peeps and of course the bunny!
Great video as always! Congratulations on being released from regular doctor’s visits! You two have very busy schedules.
Congratulations, Carol! Five years cancer-free 🎉🎉🎉
For retreats - I pack 7-10 projects. I work on only one and generally very few stitches🤣🤣🤣 At home, I am a fairly monogamous stitcher - unless I’m in the middle of a starts marathon😉 Thank you for sharing!💚
Thanks for sharing. Happy spring. Basket. Bunny. I'm pretty much monogamous. I'm working on G Leger 1898 right now. I have a few other things kitted up, but I'm just always drawn back to G Leger when I want to stitch. Can't seem to break the habit.
Thanks for sharing, Carol and Jennifer. Great video - as usual! I've only been to your retreats. Choosing which projects to take with me is hard. I usually take 5 or 6 projects. See you soon!❤
You two are delightful! Hopefully, the Easter bunny brought you nice things from his basket.
I usually enjoy stitching houses. However, I'm working on "Winter Rose Manor." That house is a beast and taking forever to stitch! Quite boring actually but it will be beautiful when it's done.
Congratulations on both anniversaries! I’ve never been on a retreat and I’m mostly a monogamous stitcher, so usually one project at a time. You’ll LOVE 324! It’s very addictive and fun to see what colors you are missing. I’m 1/3 done with mine and so far only missing 2 colors! Have a fantastic retreat 🫎
Beautiful quilt and I enjoyed seeing all your Easter and spring finishes. I've been to 2 retreats and I usually take 3 or 4 projects to work on and touch at least 2. beehive
Thanks for another video! The bee hive was buzzing with anticipation for great spring flowers. ❤
Enjoyed your newest video. Wonderful to hear about your five year cancer fee milestone. Basket and bunny.
Bunnies are the best Stitch. I usually work a couple projects during the week and I rotate them. They might be crossed they might be quilting or knitting.❤ Bunny
A basket with a bunny was placed by a beehive by my daughter. I wouldn’t go get it…. No stings needed here!
Love your springtime stitching .❤
My friend and I saw a bunny while we were walking today but he wasn't carrying a basket. We didn't see a beehive though. I always enjoy your Flosstubes. Happy Flossaversary! Packing projects for a retreat is serious business. I usually pack 4-5.
Congratulations on cancer free and your three year flossiversary!! 🎉🎉 I’ve never been on a retreat. I have a sewing room project and a living room project..so depends on where I am to watch tv or TH-cam!
Congratulations on 5 years cancer free! I’m now 2 years! The bunny ran off with the basket of eggs. I typically take 3.
Wonderful flosstube! I always love when you pop up on my feed! Great finishes! You ladies always have a variety of projects. I don’t go on cross stitch retreats. I usually stitch on one project a week, sometimes two (I’m a monogamous stitcher.) I love going thru my basket to see what is coming up to stitch! Enjoy your retreat! Happy stitching!
Hi! I love your videos.
I have a 3 year old granddaughter who’s nickname is Bee! And believe me it’s like being in a beehive whenever she’s around. So busy!!!
Hello Ladies, It is always a joy to spend time with you, enjoy the eclipse, unfortunately we don’t see it here where I live, fantastic news Carol on being 5 years clear. BUNNY.
Thank you for another inspiring video full of stitchy goodness! Sending you a basket full of happy blogiversary wishes! I am attending my first cross stitch retreat at Stitch North in a couple of weeks and I plan to take as many projects as I can fit in my carry bag. You just never know what you will feel like stitching, so hopefully 10 or 12 projects will fit. Of course I plan to buy new ones when I'm there too! 😉
My cats have learned not to play with the beehive. Thanks for another fun episode (I’m a relatively new subscriber and really enjoy seeing y’all’s stitching).
Congratulations on your 5year cancer free news🎉. Great flosstube as usual. I can't wait to see retreat recap. My bunny was hopping with her basket and a beehive exploded with bees and she hopped quickly away. Happy flossaversary #3. 🎉 I've never been to a retreat so I think I would take a bunch of things to maybe work on. 😊
I love the Quilt of the Day, so beautiful!! Congratulations on 5 years of cancer free. Baskets are very useful. I'm going to my first retreat this month. I have no idea how many I'm going to bring, probably three projects.
Fun video, you both are so busy, I'm thinking I need to get out more! Congrats on your Flosstube Anniversary. We usually have a bunny or 2 running in the yard, and today 2 kept facing each other & then hopping over each other, especially fun since it's Easter Sunday. I bring 3 smalls on my trips, and usually blocks of color vs confetti. Pretty Quilt.
Happy to hear about your positive drs appointment. My yearly diagnostic mammogram is scheduled for next month. Beautiful quilt. Love the bright colors. I try to keep my stitching down to 2 projects at a time. One is large and will take awhile to finish. Then I like to do a smaller one so I can accomplish a finsh and feel good.
Thank for another wonderful visit! So glad to hear good health news for Carol. I usually work on 3 projects over a weekend depending on my mood. I saw a bunny hop into a basket over by the beehive. Happy Spring!
I'm mostly a monogamous stitcher, so I only bring one project to a retreat. That's fine for me, because I find I'm doing a lot more conversing than stitching when I'm there😊. I love the colors in the quilt you displayed today!! Jenn, I really like how your forest piece is turning out. Carol, so happy for you that your doctor gave you the all clear! Enjoy the retreat, your visit with your grandson/nephew, and the big eclipse!! Basket
So happy you had a good health report. Pretty quilt Jennifer. I’ve made two quilts with that same fabric. Yesterday I saw a bunny n my yard. I’ve never been on a stitching retreat, but I usually stitch on two-three different cross stitch during the week. I just got back from a quilt retreat and I took 5 projects with me. One of my projects was making 10 food safe snack bags for my daughter’s family. They are so easy to make and the kids love them.
Congratulations on your good news at the Dr!! Basket. Bunny. Beehive. I work on a different project each day. I’m in the monthly magazine challenge and wipgo and a couple of sals so I put them all in a spin wheel and let it pick for me.
Bunny! I really enjoy watching you all. It’s fun to know you lived in Texas for a while. I’m a transplant and now live in Texas, too. Glad to hear you are cancer free!
I’m usually a one project woman. I might do two in a week that are actual whips obviously I’ll do two different projects if I finish one but looking back over my book a days do usually one project a week. I have at least 14 whips because I do whip go, so I guess you could say I have a two week rotation, whatever numbers that whip go calls
Always fun to see you ladies and all your projects! I have never been to a retreat, but I am usually a monogamous stitcher. Right now I have two WIPS though. It is not spring in our part of NE yet (8" of snow on April 1), but the Easter bunny brought his basket before the snow came luckily.
Congrats on 3 years.
I typically take way too many projects but typically work on 2 projects in the morning and 3 or 4 in the afternoon/evening… obviously I have a short attention span.
My bunny has a spring in his bum.😂
Thanks for the video visit. Great news Carol, on being released from the oncologist's care at the 5-year milestone...that's absolutely wonderful! Sounds like a fun time in Chicago and with the family visits. I usually take 5 projects to a retreat, for a stitching day or on vacation, as I never know what I may be motivated to stitch, and I'd hate to be without options!
The bunny found his basket next to the beehive. Uh oh! I usually stitch on 5-7 projects a week, usually working on 2 or 3 of them in a day.
Love your show cased quilt. Had to push pause and down load the pattern. Have not been to a retreat yet. However I do belong to a craft/sewing group that meets a couple of times a month. I normally bring 2 to 3 projects when I can’t decide what I’m in the mood to work on. Just finished a cross stitch, Easter by The Cricket Collection. Perfect for bunny season! 😀
Congratulations on your five year cancer free diagnosis.
Love the quilt behind you.
I have always been a one stitch project girl, but I am doing two now as I started the Fox and Rabbit free mystery SAL in January and am loving it! I must also say that I keep my projects in a basket!
Basket-bunny-I loved the video-never been on a retreat-when working from home usually just one
Congratulations on your three year flossaversery. The Easter bunny brought me a basket full of yummy marshmellow eggs. I am attending my first retreat here in Albuquerque and will probably take five projects. I'm so looking forward to attening the retreat!
Hi Carol and Jennifer, great video. 👏👏👏 Both of you were so busy including crocheting, and you still got a lot accomplished. I don't go to retreats, but I usually stitch on one project at a time until finished. Hope you made it through the last 2 rounds of weather unscathed. Happy Stitching. ❤❤❤
Another great video, love how joyful you always are and the tallies from the question, always good for a laugh. Loved the colors in the quilt today, very spring like. Have a great time at your retreat. Bunny? Bunny? Is that the Easter Bunny? Congratulations on your flosstube anniversary, I hope we get to enjoy you for many years to come. Take care
My bunny was in the garden and ran smack dab into a beehive. She didn’t get stung because the bees are her friends. What a pretty quilt you made! I just love the variety of your stitching and your family updates. Happy April!
That pattern for the basket is beautiful. New subbie….joining the beehive! I take wayyyyyyyy to many projects on a retreat. I have only been on quilting retreats. One really doesn’t get much done because you are meeting new friends or rekindling old friendships.
I haven’t gone to any in person retreats but have done several on line retreats. I’m pretty much a monogamous stitcher. I like to have things finished, although my to FFO pile is quite high. 🤭 The Easter bunny brought lots of goodies in my basket. Thanks for another fun video. ❤
Baskets full of spring greetings to you both! Love the quilt behind you. I take three projects with me to retreats. I too, love a retreat finish. Eggscellent news Carol about five years free!
Love your videos, gives me so many ideas. Love the knitting and crochet also. Basket, Bunny and Beehive.
Oh the poor dog, getting bit on the nose , Geese can be temperamental creatures, the Easter Bunny definitely called at our house, many happy grandchildren lol.
Congratulations on your flosstube anniversary and on 5 years cancer free 👏👏👏 I generally work on 2 or 3 projects a week but sometimes ADD kicks in and it is 7 or more 😂.
The bunny carries a basket full of eggs but if he isn’t careful he’ll trip into the beehive as he hurries along! Lovett quilt and previous finishes are so fun to see! Normally weekly I work on up to 5 projects and work on all of them a little. I try to work on my Mira’s on Mondays but some Mondays I’m just tired after work and that throws my schedule off! Love it all ladies have fun at your retreat!❤❤
Happy Easter Monday Girls, loved watching, I am at home on my own and it is fabulous, I’m enjoying catching up on flosstube and stitching , just me and Milo my golden lab, thankfully he hasn’t encountered any geese on our walks, not sure how he would react as he want to play with everyone and everything, he thinks he is still a pup, he is not allowed chocolate but I got a lovely chocolate bunny from my wife, which I am having no trouble with devouring right now.
Yes the eclipse! I am south of you guys, still in Indiana, not to far from Seymour. We are staying home, but still excited! I did see I wire covered tree. It was white, I think it was on the smaller side it may have been at either Hobby lobby or Michaels. I made a table running with disappearing 4 patch after seeing you quilt!
So happy to hear you got a great medical report, Carol! Congratulations on being released from oncology care. I'm just some bunny that enjoys your videos and seeing all of your beautiful work!
Happy Anniversary! I usually stitch on one thing till it is completed. The bunny brought my basket with a beehive in it!
Great newsm on your check up. Love seeing all your projects and hearing about your adventures. Hope that bunny doesn't drop his basket of eggs when he spots the beehive!
Bunny. Congratulations on 3 years. We usually have tons of bunnies every spring, but I think the hawks get the memo. I'm going to my first retreat in 2 weeks. I typically have 3 to 5 wips going. I'm planning to do a new start and bring 2 wips to retreat.
You ladies always bring a smile to my face with your videos and relationship. That quilt really says spring to me! Each month I do a 6 day rotation of 5 different projects, only starting a new one when I finish one. So in a week 1 project. It works well for me as I feel like I can make real progress in that time. The bunny carried a basket to the beehive. Thanks for taking the time to share your stitching with us!
Thanks for sharing 🎉. I take 3-5 projects on retreat and sometimes will touch all and sometimes not !
I take two projects, But I only work on my main project.And the other is for in case I get the first one done. I made a quilt just like yours.But mine was different shades of browns and have leaves in some of them. It is a very fall quilt. The bunny hopped in to the basket.
I normally take 3 projects with me.
The bunny brought the basket of berries to the bungalow for the big bash! 😊
Thank you for another great flosstube! My creativity for creating a fun sentence is not currently available 🙂 Basket, bunny, beehive.
Wonderful news Carol on the big 5 year milestone being cancer free! 🎉. Always enjoy seeing and hearing about everything you both have been up to or working on. I have only gone to quilt retreats and I have taken at least 6 projects. If I would go to a cross stitch retreat it would probably be at least 6 also! You need to have variety right? It’s like packing for vacation and taking too many clothes 😂
It is amazing that it has been three years since you started your flosstube. I was there at the beginning and have enjoyed every episode. Congratulations! Such wonderful news for Carol. So happy for you. In cross stitching I have about 8 different projects that I work on throughout the month based on a calendar I have set up. In quilting I usually just work on one project at a time, at the most two. This morning I had a bunny in my backyard. I live in the desert and there are quite a few cottontails.
I very much enjoyed seeing your wips and all the other projects that you've been working on. Your quilts are so pretty. I hope you both had a great Easter with your families and that you were treated to at least one chocolate bunny. I usually work on about two projects per week however if I'm travelling or going to visit my kids across town, I usually take three projects. Thank you so much for another great video. Happy Spring! Congratulations on reaching your wonderful milestone of three years on flosstube - that's fantastic!
Always enjoy your flosstubes...you keep it real and have motivated me to do several fogs this past year. When I was young I would always eat the chocolate bunny ears first from my Easter basket. Have a successful and fun retreat. In response to the question, I have never had the opportunity to attend a retreat but in the past I have taken 2-3 smaller projects when I have travelled for business.
Love your French braid quilt. The range of colors in it are fabulous. I usually stitch on just one project on retreat, as I usually take one that's just being started - so plenty to stitch, or one project with lots of fill in. On early retreats, I took way to many projects, and it became a nuisance to keep track of them.
I have never been to a retreat. I have 3 projects that I am focusing on, and I rotate my stitching among those pieces in a week. When I finish one of them, I rotate another WIP in. My most recent finish was a free mini bunny sampler from Pinkernpunkin quilting blog
Congrats on 3 years! I have only gone on 1 retreat and I brought 3 projects to work on and I worked on all three of them. During the week of stitching I am pretty much a monogamous stitcher and I don't have too many WIPS. I go through phases of doing a bunch of starts and then pick one at a time to work on and finish. I can't think of anything clever today so - beehive
I enjoyed stitching with you both this morning. Wonderful news on your health report Carol. Easter is such a beautiful time of the year with the flowers bringing color and the bunny bringing joy to the little ones. Thank you for sharing all of your projects and finishes. Enjoy your retreat.
Happy Flossaversary! I've never been on a cross sttch retreat but lately at home I am stitching on just one project because I am trying to finish it for a gift, basket, bunny, beehive
Congrats on the good mammogram report! I can’t believe you’ve been flosstubers for three years!! I’ve been to many quilt retreats and have learned I can’t take it all so I choose 2-3 realistic projects and a hand project in case my machine breaks or electricity is lost. Bunny
Congratulations on the 3 year anniversary! I started my Stitching Jennie flosstube about the same time as you started yours. You have been much more consistent than I have. I enjoy your episodes and look forward to them.
I went on my first retreat in October. I brought a project to start each day and then probably two or three others. So probably 5-6. It was good to have a few different pieces. One I struggled to see the holes in the light of the room, so I switched part way through to an easier piece. It was also nice to have pieces with big chunks of color.
My basket was shaped like a beehive. What was the Easter bunny thinking about?? Most retreats I take more than I need to. Last week I took about 8 and worked on 2....I never know what I feel like stitching on 😂. I don't always get a lot of stitching done at retreats because I like to visit with people, and see what they are stitching. 😂
Sounds like you are both very, very busy! And still lots of fun stitching. The last solar eclipse that happened went over where I live in Portland OR so we had lots of the uproar too! I guess I will just have to hope for a bunny in a basket next to a beehive :)
Someday maybe I will get to go to a retreat. Sounds like so much fun. Beehive. I usually only work on one project at a time-more than one stresses me out!!!
I carried my bunny in a basket when I went out to see the beehive. The bees were buzzing and the bunny got scared and hopped out of the basket. Very exciting to have three years of filming and fun!! I took 3 projects to my last quilt retreat but only worked on one. But I did get it done!
It’s always just a pleasure to spend time with you both, and I’m so so grateful Carol for you on your 5 years congratulations! 💚
Lovely stitching along with you both. I haven't been to retreat so in a weekend I usually work on three projects unless WIP Warriors ( Facebook group) has a challenge on and then it can be as many as I can. I really think a bunny in a basket is cute.
Basket and Bunny are such a classic Easter tradition. Love the quilt in the background, those colors are so pretty. Have fun at your retreat. I work on 2 projects in a weeks time. No retreats yet
Love your flosstube and quilt sharing. Congratulations on being five year cancer free! I found a beehive in the Easter basket or was it a basket in the beehive?
Basket bunny beehive
Congratulations on your anniversary! I hope I can stop by Persnickety this summer as we travel around camping. I take nearly everything with me when we travel over the summer but I try to only take one small and one large when I go to retreats. 💗
It is amazing that it has been three years since you started your flosstube. I was there at the beginning and have enjoyed every episode. Congratulations! Such wonderful news for Carol. So happy for you. In cross stitching I have about 8 different projects that I work on throughout the month based on a calendar I have set up. In quilting I usually just work on one project at a time, at the most two. This morning I had a bunny in my backyard. I live in the desert and there are quite a few cottontails.
Thanks so much Susan!
Love the quilt of the day, gorgeous fabric that just says Spring has arrived, I did laugh out loud about the watcher who loved to stitch snowmen but hated stitching with white, I have to agree with her I hate stitching with white and black, I did participate in my first ever swap this year with @stitching with Sandi , you had to stitch a bunny, I loved it.
I work on 1 larger project for 10 days a month & fill in the other days with small seasonal. Ohhh basket for me please. As always sure enjoy yr channel 🤗
Love the bunny. I do one quilt-as-you-go along with one cross stitch at a time. Never been on a retreat. You can also use Fray Check on the edge of your fabric.
The Bunny, is adorable. Congratulations on your 3 year anniversary. I work on 3 or 4 projects on any given week. I have never been to a retreat ❤
Hi ladies, great video as usual. I usually have one larger evening project per week, and one smaller lunch/travel piece.
You are both so sweet and fun to watch. I cross stitch with my mother too ❤ I made my boys each an Easter basket this year even though they are 27 and 31! Included a chocolate bunny in each one. Beehive charts are my favorite 🎉
