- It’s been awhile so there’s lots of primitive stitching to share - fun finishes, how I rusted some safety pins, and a little bit of haul.

So glad I found your floss tube. Love all your primitive designs you are very talented. I will be ordering several of your patterns. Have a great week.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! Hope you have a great week too!
Loved all your Stitching, Great ideas!!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Put trim around the “wash day”, easy way to make bigger to stay tucked in your wash board. Very cute patterns, love them.
The trim is a great idea! I'll have to get my trim box out and see what I can come up. Thank you for watching us!
I love browns and blues together too! My bedroom is in blues and browns!!
Drew just doesn't understand!!!
I love your designs! I can’t stitch on anything over 16 count. Any suggestions regarding fabric that looks primitive?
I haven't stitched on anything besides linen for so many years now. I'm really not familiar with anything else. You can always dye your fabric. I do that if I have something that doesn't look as prim as I would like it to. (which is most all of my linen - I seem to dye most everything anymore!) I use coffee and walnut crystals but there's a lot of different things to use like tea and Rit dye.
What do you dye your pieces with? I love everything you do. Thanks for sharing. I too like blue and brown together.
I use a mixture of instant coffee and walnut crystals to dye my pieces. I did a sort of tutorial in Flosstube #14 to show my process. It's a very laid back process! Thank you for your kind words and for watching!
Love your video!! I am excited you are starting the paper patterns!! I am going to order. These would be great if you can do the paper patterns, the summer trio, the patriotic ones, the Christmas ones, well basically all of them, lol!!! 😊
I hope to carve out some time soon to sit down and work on the paper patterns - I'll put these on the top of the list!
Playing catch up with all my floostube friends and had to stop and say hi 👋. Love all your new releases and finishes.
Have a great day and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
I'm playing catch up too - getting caught up on my comments. I can't seem to get into a summer routine! Thank you for your kind words and for watching. Have a great day!!!
Double sided tape would hold beautiful clothes line stitch I think. All of your ideas are great, just love them and as soon as I can fix my printer I’m going to get some of them. Thank You and Drew, most fun!!
Double sided tape - great suggestion! And I think I have some around here somewhere. Thank you for watching and for the kind words!
Thank you for sharing your patterns, your finishes, snd your t shirt. Love it!
You are welcome! The t-shirt came from Love in Faith. They have so many beautiful t-shirts!
Watching for the first time upon recommendation from Doreen B. His hamster set up is adorable and love your finds. That quilt top has great colors!
Thank you for watching!
I just finished “Fall is in the air” and I’ve just started “Harvest Thyme”. 😊
I've been thinking fall too. My favorite time of the year! Would love to see your finishes!
So many nice pieces! I love blue and brown together, and buttons too. I stitched a clothesline back in the 80s or
90s and put it in a washboard too. I still have it. Love that Drew can fix things, so many kids dont learn those things anymore. I got a closet full of stuff to stitch but Im going to your Etsy shop!
I would love to see your washboard! I agree - many kids don't learn the basics anymore and being able to fix things is so important. I have a closet full of things to stitch too - and I'll never get it all done! Thank you for watching us!
So good to know they are almost done with your road. You are so creative with your finishing techniques. You are killing me, I have so much stitching to do and want to buy all your designs, blues and browns do go well together.
I have hundreds of buttons they are so much fun to look through, Drew:you are so giggly today, I wish we could have a clothesline we have covenants here very annoying, the hummingbirds and orioles are here in the middle of Minnesota for a week now.
Love your idea on the washboards, it is so nice you are doing printed patterns so many people do not have a printer, I do but love printed copies.
Washing in lakes and rivers was so common until so many chemicals started being used like on lawns and fields.
I have to try the rusting technique, thank you for the ideas. Love all your new designs, nice progress on your stitching.
Love your Faith shirt, wow what a great idea to have pizza outdoors and watch the performance, I love bluegrass music, Rhonda: could you show the cabinet finish up above Drew’s head it looks adorable, love the quilt top. I am looking forward Toshiba g what you do with the bad mitten frame, the latter board is amazing, love the post, Drew: love your home for Henry,so nice and big. My husband has an old John Deere collection of small metal trackers being displayed in the house the toy size not the real size. Hope to see you both soon.
Thank you so much for all the kind words! Our road is now done and we have sprayed our gravel road so hopefully the dust will be controlled this summer. Our hummingbirds have made their appearance too and they are so fun to watch! We have three feeders out now. We don't have any orioles but probably because I don't feed them. My mom does and they are fun to watch too.
I have a finish for the bad mitten frame has a finish and I'll show it next time! I haven't done anything with the board yet. Still thinking on that.
I love anything old John Deere. I grew up with old A and B John Deeres. I love to hear them running!
Thank you for watching and hopefully we can film again next week. Summers are just so darn busy!
I guess I am old school too. We live in the country in an old farm house on 20 acres on a gravel road. I have always said that we live on a farm. The original property was much larger and was a hog farm. I never thought about dying the fabric. That's a great tip. Oh my gosh, the Wash Day and the clothes line are adorable. I hang my clothes out when the dust isn't too bad. We live on the north side of the road and get a lot of dust when it's windy. You could glue the stitched piece onto a fabric covered cardboard to make a tighter fit and not have to marr the finish on your wash board. Drew's face...."It stinks. Get it out of here." I laughed out loud! Love your new designs. Happy to see you both back!
I love being old school! I understand about the dust and the gravel roads. We're actually going to spray our road this year. We just can't take the dust. I couldn't hang my clothes out hardly ever last summer, or have my windows open, because the dust was so bad. I love the idea of gluing a piece of covered cardboard to the back of my stitched piece to make it fit tighter. Thank you for the suggestion! We'll definitely be back - it's just harder to find the time during the summer months. Life just gets busier in the summer it seems.
I like this I meant to do my work today! Just fine wording!!
I fell in love with the saying!
How about, "handstitched gatherings". Rhonda, put a magnet on the back of your stitched piece for the washboard, then try holding a magnet on the back of the board, and see if it's strong enough to hold through the washboard.
Drew, blue and brown definitely go together! Those are the colors in my camper. Good job fixing the mower! Now go down to the river and wash your clothes! 🤣🤣
For the punchneedle, you can enlarge the pattern, so it will fit on that piece that you bought.
I like that - handstitched gatherings! I'm going to have to do something with that. I like the magnet idea. I have some pretty strong magnets that might work. And yes, blue and brown go together. Drew doesn't know what he's talking about!
I'm thinking the punch needle is more square and the piece is rectangle. I'm going to have to do some measuring.
The pins are called bulb pins!
Thank you! I can never remember that and yet it makes so much sense!
Cute hamster! I just spent some time playing with my (13 year old!) cat with a laser pointer. I am also about to exit my 40s and I am not certain what to think about that. LOL.
Oh yes - we enjoy playing with the cats with a laser pointer too! I haven't seen 40 in quite a few years. You'll be just fine being in your 50s!
Soooo good to see you two today!!! I started using FabriFix glue for attaching my stitch pieces to wooden pieces. Then I put heavy books on top of the piece for several hours and I’m not kidding you there flat to the board and are not going to move. I bought mine at Hobby lobby I don’t know if other craft stores carry it as well. I highly recommend it! But, I’m not a big fan of hot glue anyway so maybe I’m a little prejudice. I also like Aleens tacky glue that I like this new one I found better 🙌🏼 Your charts are so very prim & very cute! You could use Velcro to hold it . I LOVE the wash day stitch & finish ♥️👕👖
I've never heard of FabriFix glue but now I'm going to have to look for it. Thank you for the suggestion. I use hot glue quite a bit but I really don't like it. And I have used Aleens tacky glue. Velcro is an idea too! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Sure thing! 😉
Thank you for sharing the trims 💜 I’m loving all your new stitches!
You're welcome - I just love them!
Thanks for sharing, love your patterns and all your finds. Drew your doing a good job too. My nephew started with small engines with his Dad and has totally rebuilt trucks and built a race boat. Elaine from MI
Love hearing about your nephew! Our young men need to learn these necessary skills. A race boat sounds fun! Thank you for watching!
I enjoyed the video. So nice to hear from both of you! Henry the hamster has quite the living space! ❤
Yes, Henry is quite spoiled! Thank you for the kind words and for watching us!
Thank you for sharing all your designs….they are so fun to stitch! I always look forward to your videos!
I'm so glad you enjoy stitching my designs. Thank you for watching!
This was another wonderful video, Rhonda and Drew. The new designs are beautiful, I especially love The Leaves Were Calling and would love it in paper, please! Your haul is great, can't wait to see what you create with your finds. Great job on Henry's habitat and your lawn mower, Drew! I look forward to your next video ~ I enjoy hearing about your farm life and all that you are both working on. I hope that you are safe with all of this terrible weather, you are in my prayers.
Thank you for the kind words! The Leaves Were Calling is offered in the Etsy shop as both PDF and paper. I plan to offer all new patterns both ways and will slowly add the old ones as paper too. We survived all the terrible weather, thankfully. Thank you for watching!
Always makes my day when you do a video. I love all that old rusty paint peeling stuff too. I have alot of strange pieces of old wooden things, metal things now you have totally given me some great ideas. Most of my furniture is the old crackly paint missing stiff too. If it's old I love it. I love all your patterns they are just so nice. I live in an old farmhouse too and used to live on an old farm for over 30 years. Now I have the house but no land or barns. You are a great inspiration to look at the simple happy life. Thanks
Yes - if it's old I love it! That is so me too! I can't imagine ever living in town. We only have 4 acres but it keeps us busy enough. I'm starting to look at all my things differently and it's been a lot of fun! Thank you for the kind words and for watching us!
Such a cute finish with the washboard.
Thank you!
Thank you!
One more question, what color of the Nate Berkus fabric do you buy? Thx
Never too many questions! I almost always use the Flaxen. Once in awhile I will use Flint but the Flaxen is my go to.
Thanks Rhonda!!!
You are welcome!
