I am so thrilled that your Flosstubes are back. You are for sure my favorite. I enjoyed this so much! That fabric for the moon fairy is perfect, and actually even better than the stitched background. Looking forward to your next videos. Much love!
I enjoyed your flosstube. That wall of floss behind you is to die for. Absolutely loved your Mill Hill village. I love Mill Hill and currently am collecting all the Santa Ornaments. Your village is very tempting. May have to join in something similar. We have allot in common as far as what we like to stitch. I like to do all kinds of stuff but not big in the reproduction samplers. I like newer sampler but not crazy about putting someone’s name on my sampler that I never knew, and I feel guilty putting someone else’s name in them. LOL.
Thanks so much! I have a collection on mill hill Santa's also! Mill hill kits are so cute and stitch up quickly. Yes, reproduction samplers seem to be what is popular right now. I think they are beautiful but they just don't call to me as far as something I would like to stitch.🤷♀️ Thanks again for watching and Merry Christmas!
I watched your TH-cam video with your Mill Hill village. I just gasped; it is so beautiful! I plan to do mine the same. Can you please tell me what type of fabric you are working on, and what count you are using? Are you planning to put all 24 houses on the same fabric or are you splitting it up? I love your floss-tubes. Thank you very much. Best regards; Elizabeth
Thanks! I'm stitching it on 28 count stormy grey jobelan from witchelt. I'm planning on stitching all of them on the same fabric. There are currently 25 houses. If you buy a yard, you will have enough to stitch all 25 and probably 7 or 8 more. Good luck with the project!🤗
Hi Amanda. It was nice meeting you at StitchNorth yesterday (I met you just at the end when I popped over to say bye to Kathleen). I am in love with your craft room. That floss wall is Goals!
Hi zeena! It was nice meeting you also!! Too bad it was at the tail end of the weekend! It would have been nice to stitch and chat! I will let you know when there is another stitch day in the "hammer". Hopefully you will be able to make it!
Glad you uploaded again. You mentioned that you didn't feel you have enuff finishes or something similar... and that does not matter. Floss tube videos don't have to have any finishes. As long as you talk about stitching in any form, you qualify for floss tube... you could just show floss or patterns, etc. so i just wanted to mention that, there's no pressure for any reason. And contrary to rumor, there's no cross stitch police :0 so if you want to stitch your patterns in half stitch, you won't be cheating :p. That's sorta a sarcastic dig based on a real forum argument... Anyway, I'm glad you're back and hope your family/ friends/ dear ones/ get better. Many of us are dealing with new or existing health issues. (I'm positive I've aged faster during the pandemic. So i get it.) I also get the math issues you referred to. The whispering made me giggle. Happy stitching 😊
Thanks for watching! I guess my meaning was I wasn't really stitching a lot this year so, at times, I didn't really even have progress on my wips to talk about. Hopefully, 2022 will be an easier year for everyone!🙏
Just found you and am starting at the beginning to binge watch you. Your Wips are amazing and I almost got out and started one of my Mirabilia which I have been too afraid to start. Looking forward to the next one.
Hi Amanda, I'm glad to have found you! I too am in Southern Ontario & I get quite thrilled to tune into Canadian Flosstubers. Your WIPs are fantastic, thanks so much for sharing with us. Sending good thoughts for your Mum & you all as you navigate through this health/treatment journey.
@@luckychancestitcher Hi Amanda, no, I'm not going to Stitch North. I thought about it but it just won't fit into my life/work schedules unfortunately.
Hi I was thinking just thr other day about you ,I wanted to find you on TH-cam, were you stitching a tiger ? Yo was the very first flosstuber I ever watched last year but then I couldn't remember your name ,you wasn't showing on my subs list . All I remember was the tiger stitching?!I haven't watched the video but you look very familiar so it might have been you
Loved your flosstube! My favorite WIP of yours is the Christmas village. I cannot even imagine that much stitching. I do not like to do large pieces because of how long they take me. I am a monogamous stitcher so years ago when I did larger projects, one would take me 1-5 years to complete because I am a slow stitcher.
WIPGO *CAN* be played the way you were playing, by keeping going on that project until you finish that goal. You can even complete a goal early, before it is called. You just can't mark off that square as done until that square has been called. I would encourage you to try again.....it's your board, do it however you want. The goals on the board are YEARLY goals, not monthly goals, and you can start and finish them any time during the year.
I had a dimensions kit that called for 4-6 strands, and after fighting a section for a day, anything over 4 strands I automatically halved. So 4 became 2, 5 & 6 became 3. Does it have the depth? 🤷♀️ It's still gorgeous. But it sure saved my sanity.
@@ChristmasStitcherAtHeart-Greg I'm not sure how active the admin is on that group anymore. If you message me on Instagram, i will send you a picture of the dot drawing.
I love the wall behind you! Would you consider doing a craft room tour? All of your projects are huge and you make amazing progress with all of them. Thank you for sharing!
I went back to watch your previous videos! You have such gorgeous projects! Everything you are working on is something I would totally do, we have so much of the same taste in patterns and kits! Love love love your videos and I’m so glad you returned to FlossTube. I hope your family is doing well. 💕
Thanks Catherine (or is it katherine?) Yes we do have very similar taste. When I saw that you liked miras and dimensions kits I was like "yay, I found my stitching twin!" 😂😂
I worked on the items on my wipgo board but not necessarily the numbers she picked. I just marked them off when she picked them. Example. I have a few that I wanted to work on 12 days. I did 1 day a month.
I’m glad your back. And it’s so nice to meet someone that is from Ontario. Maybe we could stitch together. I’m at the Beaches. Wow Mary Maxim and Lewis Craft so long ago. Do you knit or quilt or sew? I stitch reproduction sampler but no ABC sampler. I have WIPS from when Lewis Craft was still operating🤣🤪. Keep well and healthy.
Thanks Caroline! I live closer to Niagara region. The beaches is in Toronto? There is a stitching retreat called stitch north. It's happening in April in brampton. I think she has spots open. May connect you with other stitchers on your area.🤗
Your Wind Moon Fairy is awesome! Love the idea of having the dyed background....so many hours of stitching will be saved AND it looks fabulous! Best get my kit out from stash and start stitching on it! lol!
Beautiful wips! That fabric for your moon fairy is gorgeous. Your mermaid tail is so sparkly. Best wishes for your mother's treatment. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you came back to flosstube. I used to watch you on your other show and then you stopped making them I'm glad you're back. Good work on the Christmas Village by Mill Hill.
Thank you. For answering the question. Can you tell me how many you are making.and we’re did you get the border. I would like to use that same. Just love your that wip. How long have you been working on if? Happy Stitching
I'm planning on stitching all 24. I got the border from the mill hill Christmas village Facebook group. I started it in 2019 but haven't been working on it consistently. Hoping to get all the stitching done this year but we shall see.🤷♀️
So this will be my first year of WIPGO and the way you thought it worked can be how you do it for yearly goals or you can have monthly goals. I will be working on what I want and completing my goals throughout the year. I love all your WIPs and I am a new subscriber. 💖💖💖
I went a bit crazy with Etsy after I saw the beautiful Christmas village! Fortunately, I talked myself down from around $200 to just $30 in purchases! So pretty, but so much work! Thanks for sharing!
The stitch counts of all the houses are the same. I worked out the layout on a large piece of craft cardboard which included the dimensions of the houses, the spacing in between and the border. Then I try to align the rooftops. The bottoms of the patterns sometimes have extra things in them so that is why I use the rooftops to gage the spacing. I can explain it in my next flosstube.
I went crazy and bought a bunch of the series! I don't know whether to be excited or be stressed at buying them. Can you tell me how big your fabric piece is? Does it have to be custom cut being so big? Thank you so much for always answering!
Wow loved your video! I would love to see you craft room behind you. It was so fun to watch you show and talk about your WIPS. I'm gonna zip right over and watch your finishes video.
Really glad that I stumbled cross your channel. Your WIPs are fabulous and am now heading over to see your finish video. Must echo about that fabulous wall behind you! :)
Hey Amanda, so glad you are back! Have wondered what happened to you. Sorry about all the health problems. Glad your mom's treatment is going well. That's really cool you still have your first project. Your Christmas Village is stunning! Your floss wall has me and probably a lot of viewers drooling. 🤤 I don't remember seeing it before and I think I would! LOL I haven't seen Jessie Marie's WIPGO tutorials but the Sunshine Stitchers discussed it a lot this year with E.J. and Gary participating. According to E.J. and Shelia, you had the entire year to complete the projects. Thanks for returning to FT and sharing your WIPs. Take care and happy stitching!
Thanks so much! It's good to hear from you again! The floss wall pegboard was my Christmas present last year, so I don't think it would have been in any of my old videos. That's good to know about WIPGO. I thought I was playing wrong.😂 I will definitely check out their video!
Absolutely delightful to meet you, ,Amanda ! I started on Floss #2 ( which was recommended to me by You Tube ) , and was Stunned at the Gorgeous, Glorious Stitching I was beholding - also the quilting !!!! BRAVA !!!!! I look forward to your next visits for sure. The best to your Mother . To you and your loved ones - warmest good wishes over these Holidays . Thank you for reconsidering sharing your immense talents. ( ^ ; * ) marcia
Great video! You need to start a 'coffee' donation jar for the future framing of your village piece! Many of us will contribute! I too would enjoy a tour of your craft room and know the brand of your sewing table and history of your thread wall. NOW I know what to do with a huge bag of DMC that I picked up at a thrift store! I will await your next video...
Thanks for watching and your kind words. I have a craft room tour on my Instagram account if you are interested and am going to talk about my floss storage on my next video.🤗
I’m glad you decided to come back to floss tube I hate that you’re gonna give up on the bear is there anyway you could turn that into a picture somehow without having to throw it awayhe you just had already done so much on it I saw where someone else had done that recently and they just kind of rounded it off and made it into a picture I don’t know I’m just putting it out there for you to think about Thank you
Hi Bonnie, thanks for watching! I'm not sure what I will do with it. I may cut out the heads of the two bears and make it into a pillow. I will be restarting though. My OCD brain can't handle that it will be 4 inches bigger that the other stockings!😂😂
Welcome back - I’m sorry you’ve been going thru tough times. You are a beautiful stitcher - a wonderful mother and a great daughter. I wish your mother healing. Take care and I’m so glad you are back!
Hi Amanda! So nice to “see” you again. I loved seeing all of your WIPs! So many stockings! Yay! Your Mill Hill village is amazing. It makes me want to try something similar. I’ve never given up on a WIP before either but I have a temperature chart I started earlier this year on a whim because I’ve always wanted to do one but I’m just not enjoying stitching it so I may give myself permission to let it go. I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. Sending positive thoughts and good vibes her way. 💐🙏🏻 Take care! Talk to you soon. 😄
Thanks kris! It's been a rough go but she is still fighting! Yeah, I think life is too short to stitch on things you aren't enjoying. Good to see that you came back to flosstube also!🤗
I'm wondering where you got the pattern for the Mill Hill Christmas Village are they separate patterns you put together cause that's what I found so far.
Hi Amanda! So good to see you back on flosstube!! I really enjoyed seeing all your beautiful projects 😍 So sorry to hear about your mom, she’ll be in my thoughts and prayers! Have a wonderful Christmas and happy stitching 🧵 hugs Debbie
Thank you for your video. I was looking for WIP parades and you came up. I am new to your channel, but enjoyed it very much. That Mill Hill Christmas Village is to die for! Stunning. I will really enjoy your progress on that. The fabric you chose for the Wind Mokn Fairy is perfect. I don't stitch that type, so I really enjoy seeing them stitched by someone else. You need to finish that kitty quilt for your daughter, it is adorable. I'm glad that the health issues in your family have settled down. Take care and happy stitching!
So good to see you back. Your WIPs are looking beautiful! Mirabilias and Lavender and are my favourites too. Wishing your mother a quick full recovery.
Welcome back so happy to see that all is well with you. I enjoyed seeing your finishes. It was like being at a retreat seeing such a variety of beautiful stitching.i love Lavender and Lace and Norah Corbett too. My walls are full of Fancy ladies . I was pleased to see that you stitched Santa of the Forest. He is still my favorite of all the stitching projects I have done. I ythink is because of his serenity and sweetness in his face. I will keep your mom in my prayers. I still use your framing tutorial . Merry Christmas from your fan in Michigan.
Hello Joan! So good to hear from you! I really loved stitching Santa of the forest! Thank you again for the lovely pattern! Thank you for your prayers! She needs all she can get! Merry Christmas to you also!💖
It's great to meet you, Amanda! Southern Ontario? Me too! Your stitching is all absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see more from you! 🥰 I also love your plan for your stitching goals! I myself want to actually give WIPGO a solid try in the new year, so we will see!
Hi Ashley! I actually watch your channel to! Love the dolphin project you just started. Yeah, I really like to start things but my brain tends stress when I have too many things on the go. I like the idea of rewarding myself with a start. Also, that also leaves me with projects that are at various stages so I consistently have something that is close to a finish. Good luck with WIPGO!🤗
How wonderful to come across your Flosstube reboot! Your projects are amazing and that Wind Moon Fairy piece paired with the Oksana fabric - perfection! Thank you for sharing your stitching. You’re doing terrific! Off to enjoy your finish parade. I also look forward to seeing your craft room.
Beautiful wips! The wall behind you was incredibly distracting in such a good way! I’d love to see it and hear about it in more detail if you could!
Thanks so much for watching. I will definitely do a craft room tour!🤗
Yay Canada!! So happy you are here. All the best to your mom....not an easy journey. LOVE the Mill Hill houses.....gorgeous.
Just found this video…love most of your projects. Especially the Mill Hill houses. Curios to see your progress as I am watchingthis 7 months later!
Hello from BC. Glad to see another canadian stitcher around. Ill be watching.
I always begged my parents to order me things to craft from Mary Maxim!
I was cracking up laughing at your comment about a non-stitcher charting that pattern with similar symbols clustered together. It truly is irritating!
I am so thrilled that your Flosstubes are back. You are for sure my favorite. I enjoyed this so much! That fabric for the moon fairy is perfect, and actually even better than the stitched background. Looking forward to your next videos. Much love!
Thanks Mary for your encouragement! I really appreciate it!🤗
Absolutely love your WIP list! That Christmas village is amazing x
Love your room, so much inspiration!! Lovely wips! 😍😍
Thanks so much!🤗

Wow such an ambitious piece to start with, you could possibly frog the little bit of the next bear’s foot and call the piece finished
That may be what I do. My stitches look a lot different now so it might not look very good if I finish it and the stitches aren't consistent. 🤷♀️

I am so needing this, however this covid nightmare is getting worse…
I am crossing my fingers.

On the mill Hill kits do you have to use beads
I can just use the floss but I would love to see it with the beads!

🤣🤣🤣
I love the wall behind you! Would you consider doing a craft room tour?

I am so glad that you are back to do videos. Happy stitching…………..
Oh Amanda, your first cross stitch is beautiful 😍 and you definitely need to finish it! ☺️So enjoyed your tutorial and love your floss collection!
Love love your houses stitching piece .
So beautiful.

Thanks Catherine (or is it katherine?) Yes we do have very similar taste. When I saw that you liked miras and dimensions kits I was like "yay, I found my stitching twin!" 😂😂
Cut the amount of strands used in the quilts hanging g on the clothes line. They don’t all have to be using 6 strands. It will not look strange.
Such beautiful WIPs!!! Very glad I found your channel!
That was so fun!! You have some amazing projects! Welcome to flosstube!
Thanks for watching!
I just got a few of the houses and they are so small. They look so much bigger on your video.
Just fudge the rest of it if it cannot be corrected. Finish it. You did a wonderful job.
The bear cross stitch is pretty you know you could just frame as is, because its priceless
I worked on the items on my wipgo board but not necessarily the numbers she picked. I just marked them off when she picked them. Example. I have a few that I wanted to work on 12 days. I did 1 day a month.
That's how I wanted to do it. Work on things all year and cross off as I met the goal. Maybe I should rethink WIPGO 🤔
Oh, those Mill Hill houses! Enjoyed your podcast!
Glad I found your channel I love that Mill Hiil Christmas Village and am going to search for that pattern after this video.
Great vid, great floss wall, thanks for sharing!
I’m glad your back. And it’s so nice to meet someone that is from Ontario. Maybe we could stitch together. I’m at the Beaches. Wow Mary Maxim and Lewis Craft so long ago. Do you knit or quilt or sew?

Hello Amanda, nice to meet you! I love all your pieces! Thank you for sharing! I have a little flosstube too, so welcome)
Thanks! I will check it out!
I’m glad you decided to come back to floss tube I hate that you’re gonna give up on the bear is there anyway you could turn that into a picture somehow without having to throw it awayhe you just had already done so much on it I saw where someone else had done that recently and they just kind of rounded it off and made it into a picture I don’t know I’m just putting it out there for you to think about Thank you
Hi Bonnie, thanks for watching! I'm not sure what I will do with it. I may cut out the heads of the two bears and make it into a pillow. I will be restarting though. My OCD brain can't handle that it will be 4 inches bigger that the other stockings!😂😂
Please , please tell me the name of your houses. Thay are the prettiest I've ever see and I would love to stitch. Thank you in advance.
It's the mill hill Christmas village series.
I’m so glad to see you back! I’m sorry about your family’s health struggles. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Amy!🤗
Wow! My hat is off to you. Your stitching is amazing. So glad I found you on uTube. What inspiration.
Thank you!🤗
Welcome back, Amanda. Your Mill Hill village is amazing. What an ambitious project! How are you planning to finish it? Best wishes to your mom.
Thanks Cynthia! I'm planning on framing the village. That won't happen for a few years!😂
Welcome back - I’m sorry you’ve been going thru tough times. You are a beautiful stitcher - a wonderful mother and a great daughter. I wish your mother healing. Take care and I’m so glad you are back!
Thank you for your kind words!🤗
Southern Ontario! Hello from London, ON! Hope to meet you at Stitch North! The Mill Hill Village is beautiful!
Yes, I am going to stitch north, if it still happens.🤷♀️
@@luckychancestitcher fingers crossed!
Hi Amanda! So nice to “see” you again. I loved seeing all of your WIPs! So many stockings! Yay! Your Mill Hill village is amazing. It makes me want to try something similar. I’ve never given up on a WIP before either but I have a temperature chart I started earlier this year on a whim because I’ve always wanted to do one but I’m just not enjoying stitching it so I may give myself permission to let it go. I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. Sending positive thoughts and good vibes her way. 💐🙏🏻 Take care! Talk to you soon. 😄
Thanks kris! It's been a rough go but she is still fighting! Yeah, I think life is too short to stitch on things you aren't enjoying. Good to see that you came back to flosstube also!🤗
Thank you so much for showing your beautiful work .I can't get over your Christmas Village. What a frame it will take.
Thank you! Yes, I'm afraid to take it to the framer!
I'm wondering where you got the pattern for the Mill Hill Christmas Village are they separate patterns you put together cause that's what I found so far.
Yes, They are all separate kits!
Wow, that Mill Hill village. Can I ask what fabric you have stitched it on please?
Thank you! It's on a yard of 28 count stormy gray jobelan by witchelt.
What fabric are you stitching the Christmas Village on? It is gorgeous!

Hi Amanda! So good to see you back on flosstube!! I really enjoyed seeing all your beautiful projects 😍 So sorry to hear about your mom, she’ll be in my thoughts and prayers! Have a wonderful Christmas and happy stitching 🧵 hugs Debbie
Thanks Debbie! I really appreciate your prayers! Ive enjoyed watching your progress on your HAED this year. Congrats on your big finish!🤗
Sorry to hear about your mom and kids. I use to watch your videos before and I always enjoy them. Glad you are back!
Thanks Carol!🤗
Hi from across the river Niagara!
I really enjoyed your video! You gave me courage to restart a project that I'm not happy with. 😊
Thanks! Good for you! My motto is if you aren't going to be 100% happy with it, it's not worth all the time you will spend stitchinh it!
Thank you for your video. I was looking for WIP parades and you came up. I am new to your channel, but enjoyed it very much. That Mill Hill Christmas Village is to die for! Stunning. I will really enjoy your progress on that. The fabric you chose for the Wind Mokn Fairy is perfect. I don't stitch that type, so I really enjoy seeing them stitched by someone else. You need to finish that kitty quilt for your daughter, it is adorable. I'm glad that the health issues in your family have settled down. Take care and happy stitching!
Thanks for watching christine! Yes, I have to pull out that quilt and get it finished. It's on my to do list!😁
I can’t hear you, what is the name of the first village one? Do you sell this chart?
I don't sell the charts. If you go to the Facebook group mill hill Christmas village, all of them are listed there.
Wow, amazing work. Thanks for sharing
Loved your projects. Great floss collection.
So good to see you back. Your WIPs are looking beautiful! Mirabilias and Lavender and are my favourites too. Wishing your mother a quick full recovery.
Thank you Jude!🤗
Your mill hill village is absolutely gorgeous.
Welcome back so happy to see that all is well with you. I enjoyed seeing your finishes. It was like being at a retreat seeing such a variety of beautiful stitching.i love Lavender and Lace and Norah Corbett too. My walls are full of Fancy ladies . I was pleased to see that you stitched Santa of the Forest. He is still my favorite of all the stitching projects I have done. I ythink is because of his serenity and sweetness in his face. I will keep your mom in my prayers. I still use your framing tutorial . Merry Christmas from your fan in Michigan.
Hello Joan! So good to hear from you! I really loved stitching Santa of the forest! Thank you again for the lovely pattern! Thank you for your prayers! She needs all she can get! Merry Christmas to you also!💖
It's great to meet you, Amanda! Southern Ontario? Me too! Your stitching is all absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see more from you! 🥰 I also love your plan for your stitching goals! I myself want to actually give WIPGO a solid try in the new year, so we will see!
Hi Ashley! I actually watch your channel to! Love the dolphin project you just started. Yeah, I really like to start things but my brain tends stress when I have too many things on the go. I like the idea of rewarding myself with a start. Also, that also leaves me with projects that are at various stages so I consistently have something that is close to a finish. Good luck with WIPGO!🤗
I’m so glad you are back. Beautiful projects. Wishing all the best to your mother.
Thanks tracy!🤗
Love your videos could u tell me how big of fabric u are using for your village I have most of the mill hill kits got to order the rest thanks a lot

How wonderful to come across your Flosstube reboot! Your projects are amazing and that Wind Moon Fairy piece paired with the Oksana fabric - perfection! Thank you for sharing your stitching. You’re doing terrific! Off to enjoy your finish parade. I also look forward to seeing your craft room.
