You 2 are hilarious! And talented, interesting, etc. But really, how many flosstube channels about cross stitch make viewers crack up laughing! Thanks so much for your fresh, fun channel.
It is official! I can’t watch you hilarious ladies while at work anymore… today, I have snorted, laughed out loud and cried happy stomach aching tears! Love your projects! Keep up the fabulous work! Happy Crafting!
Ladies, I don’t even know where to start with the comments 😂 So I’ll just say: Your mother raised two amazing persons and I am just so grateful to call you my friends ❤️ I love you guys and all your WIPs and I’m excited for all future projects that will come up 😬😍❤️
If I’m reading the IPA (international phonetic alphabet) on Wikipedia correctly, the pronunciation of sarsaparilla that you and I have ever heard is listed as an “also” for the US (as opposed to the UK pronounciation which looks like it includes the r). If I am wrong, please do not come at me linguists, it’s been 23 years since I took vocal diction and learned IPA and 20 years since I last had to actually use it, lol.
Your video was so much fun. I haven't laughed so much in a while. Love all of your projects. They are so unique and beautiful. I can't wait until your next video!!! Happy stitching!!
Everyone around me saw the Northern Lights and posted phenomenal pics. I was up all night checking and nothing! I can only assume it was some kinda mythical light hoax!
I snort laughed with tears running down my face at "quackers, honkers, tweeters, meepers, and squakers." scene, especially the stuffed animal birds that make noises. I can confirm that penguins do indeed squawk. Thanks, Erinn's Husband.
Thank you for spending my Sunday with me, it has been so wonderful binge watching your videos #1 to #6. I have loved seeing your progress on the protects and look forward to watching further progress until seeing them finished. You have such a lovely relationship, i only wish my sister had a crafty bone in her body to have stitching sessions together, unfortunately she didn't get the craft skill and didn't even like handmade things..... I have asked if she is adopted a few times (joking of course). It's 2.15am here and i have to be up for work in just under 5 hours so i need to head to bed. I will finish watching your #7 video and your flosstube extra SWM tonight when i get home from work. Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷 from Judy in New Zealand FT An Aussie in a Kiwi world
❤❤❤ I like making a plan but then on February, plans are gone…😅 so I’ve noticed if I feel like working on a project, I’ll work on it until I have a section completed.😊 I like how your projects are in the qsnap with grime guards. I hate page breaks 😮💨😮💨 I have everflowering garden and I feel like we are in the same section, we should make a hashtag because I have not worked on it 🤫
Your videos are always fun to watch. Great projects. Thanks for creating a page to highlight all the SALs going on. I do love a SAL 😁 Beautiful fabric choice for Fussy Rooster. Banana oil is absolutely amazing. Have you seen her new fabrics she’s been releasing lately? Ridiculous ❤
OMG - I couldn't stop laughing with you about the bird sounds!!! You had me laughing so hard I was crying. Thank you for the entertainment factor! I so much enjoy watching your channel and seeing the relationship you have with each other!
Omgoodness you two are a riot! I just found your videos and lol quite a few times. Love your projects and enthusiasm. And Erin, I feel the same way about overlapping pages and the gray areas. I have to reteach myself every time and I still can’t wrap my head around the concept 🤷🏼♀️. Hope you enjoyed yourself at StitchCon. Now that we’re living back in Ohio I’m looking forward to going, hopefully, next year. Happy stitching gals!
AuryTM is my new-to-me local LNS! Okay, scratch that - the designer is also the owner of the store. It's been around for awhile, but my friend and I only recently discovered it and roadtripped (all 45 minutes) there on Saturday. So happy. OMG. Laughing SO hard as I keep watching. It's SO hard to stitch. Puffins. PUFFINS! You guys. (It was a weird work day.)
Critter update! I also discovered there is a groundhog living under my neighbor's garage. He likes to hang out in my back yard. I also have an opossum family...Your Sampler for my Mother is beautiful!
Love the salendar! If you want, here's 4 more. #quakerflagsal2024, #yearofthedragonsal, just cross stitch magazine Hummingbird Garden SAL, and Fox & Rabbit 2024 Mystery Sal. I'd love to start a SAL end of July for the Olympics with Les Olympiades des Gnomes by Jardin Prive if there isn't one already. Love the channel, you remind me of my sister and me.
Excited to see the new pattern in development! In the meantime I am happily stitching away on Bird Herd, and think we need some merch products on your etsy.... for example...I need a "Bird Herd Member" sticker for my Book of Days! Or "I''m a "Hathaway Stitchers Sister" LOL 😂 And all that weirdo bird needle minder needs to available! The bird sounds 😭 I love Merlin... report back! I don't think Merlin could identify that puffin sound!!
I'm a new subscriber and enjoy your Flosstube very much. So very funny today. I find your stitching choices very fun, interesting, and beautiful. When my Mother and I are together we get tickled and laugh together just like y'all do. Always a good time. Can't wait until your next video.
OMG what a hilarious video! Enjoy your videos so much. Talking about the bird sounds was killing me. I was laughing so hard. There has been so many times my mother and I had laughing fits that we lost all control. Good times and happy memories! Happy Stitching!
Thank you both for this most enjoyable video visit with you. Your stitching starts and progress are so fun to see. I especially liked your mother memory piece and all of your Owl Forest stitching. Happy stitching. 😊
❤️❤️❤️ I only have 4 wips so I typically stick with a project for days at a time. I miss the others but get obsessed with the one I’m working on. I find I get big chunks of projects done and they all stay relatively equal in terms of amount accomplished. It’s not something I do on purpose, it’s subconscious. Weird. Thank you for another amazing video!
I sew 6 days a week (Sunday depends where I am) but 3 of those days, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I have my focus project, tue, Thurs and Sat, it's a different project each day, but only one project per day
Love the puffin noises. I haven't laughed so much in ages. Coming from New Zealand - we have so many different birds, which all seem to make weird calls - I don't know what Erin's husband would make of our wildlife.
You two are so much fun to watch! I am so glad to have found your channel. I am newer to cross stitch (started in December 2023) and I am hooked. I cannot wait for your pattern to be released Amity, I’m in Canada so this is so exciting! Thank you! ❤
New subscriber here! I enjoy your videos! Ati first, you did throw me for a loop when you stated the pronouns you go by - please allow me to explain! I am 57, this must be a 'new' politically correct saying? I've been through so MANY in my lifetime, I thought, Oh no! Not another one to have to add? Awwww man! Lol! I guess we'll see as time goes on! I LOVE the Quaker designs you two are both stitching! The Owl Forest Embroidery patterns are exceptional! There were some from other companies I've not yet heard of, so this video will be an excellent resource for me to come back to to get the links for the patterns I loved! I can't wait to see more of what they carry as well! Mother I lost mine in 2010 to pancreatic cancer. It took her within 11 months, fast and furious, and out of the blue, as it often is. I loved that Sampler/dedication piece! I have to look into it! Bummer part is I gave "all" my scrapbooks to my daughter who lives over an hour away from me, there were so many she'd never find my mother's dedicated book easily, so thankfully my father is still alive and I can ask him her birth year! Phew! Looking forward to the next video! Thank you for making them! Very enjoyable! Also love the SAL dedicated Instagram page! I'll follow that for sure! Happy stitching!
Another fun episode, I really enjoy watching you two! I hope you both had a wonderful Mother Day. I love your channel name, Hathaway is my maiden name.
You two are fabulous! I think you are my favourite flosstube 🤩 My mother passed away when I was 24, which is 37 years ago now, and I would love to stitch that pattern in her memory. Keep on happy stitching (as my husband calls it) 😍
You two make me smile and I love your laughter and banter. Your stitching is wonderful. I wish I had the confidence to color convert the way you do. You both have the “eye”👀. I would love to stitch your Mother piece, it is a design right up my alley. Happy stitching and keep those videos coming!!!
OMG as soon as you showed that WIP my inner grubby school boy came out ‘penis LOL’ I’m such a child! Far out I need a minder, I shouldn’t be allowed in public LOL. Loved your video as always. Maybe ask your Mr what a kiwi falls under cos they are odd wee birds… take care, Nic x
You’re my new favorite flosstube channel! Thanks for all the laughs! I look forward to every video visit. I have “only” (because I know comparatively speaking it’s a low number) about a dozen WIPs going but I pretty much stick with working on one WIP in the evening when I stitch as opposed to switching up. If I actually get an entire day to stitch, I will usually stitch something in the morning and then switch it in the evening hours. Because yes, if I like it and I’m in the flow, why would I put it down?😊
Oh my goodness, I was laughing right along with you today. So much fun! I have kit up my Bird Nerd and am ready to start but feel I should finish something first. Too many wips! Had a lovely time watching.
🪻💐🦋🌺🌷Erinn, Amity 😂 Luv the SALS calendar!🪡🤗 "Sars pa rilla"🥤 21 mins in and you ladies have helped me laugh & smile so much! And I really like that Mother stitch & how your color names are so personally memorable. My own mother, Rose, passed two days before M.D. Oh thanks for reminding me about Grief Knows No Bounds. I did order that. I hope I can find it in my email!? You girls are wonderful stitchers. 🪡🧵✨️🖼
My MOTHER loved flowers and gardening. I loved your hilarity and enjoyment. I know that I am not watching this flosstube on the day you are recording but I am just about to order the bird series you are planning to start, Amity. Then I have to get the floss. I hope to use stash fabric. Erinn, your husband’s categories for birds had me laughing for sure and that’s not easy during the migraine I had. Thanks for cheering me up.
You two are so funny! The memorial pieces you're doing for your mother are really great. I did a kit from RTO of a big vase of flowers with a girl sitting next to it (it looks better than it sounds) for my mom's memorial piece (though I left out most of the backstitching...) because she really loved her garden. Actually, all of your projects are great - I'm looking forward to seeing the results from your secret SAL!
You two crack me up! If I had a floss tube with my sister, it would be like yours....lots of cracking up! Amity, I do often work on two projects in an evening. I'll put in 25 stitches in one piece (to keep it moving forward) and then will spend the rest of the time on another. On my days off, I often work on 3-4 projects throughout the day, depending on my mood.
Another great video ladies. Love all your projects. My Mother is no longer with me and I love your memory piece you are working on. Looking forward to the next video. Happy Stitching!
I started my first SAL and it is called Sweet Summer by Tiny Modernist but I saw it on 123 stitch and i got the free border and the first series and it is a secret SAL too. I can not keep up with it but I am having a lot of fun with it. I don't think anyone is doing it on FlossTube but that's OK. I am not on Instagram but what you are doing looks great. Love all your starts and WIP's. Happy Stitching.
Hi!the raven bySue Colman is amazing! I did it for my daughter and truthfully its so real looking. Every time I go to their place I am always surprised at it. Oh my I couldn’t change to different stuff every night, I do what I want when I want except been working since feb on 1full coverage as want it done. However usually I do same thing till I want to change a week or so. But I do think you would get more done if worked on one for the evening but it’s however you enjoy it most. It is my mother and father’s anniversary on May 15th. Happy belated mother’s day❤
Great video as always. The peacock pattern is looking amazing on that fabric. And the bird noises cracked me up. Now you need to add screechers for the hawks and eagles. Happy Stitching!
Erinn, I love the Long Dog Sampler you are working on. I contacted Jools but the pattern is in a long out of print book. Would you be interested in selling it when you are finished? Thoroughly enjoy watching you 2 sisters.
The term "Start A Long" is the best thing ever! Thank you for the SALendar!!!! I recently got Arranging the Sewing kit and I'm not going to be unsee that now! ;)
Formal petition to spin all q-snaps when you pick them up 😂 I got sooo excited when I saw you two had a new video. It’s so wonderful to laugh along with you! And the SAL instagram is such a helpful idea! Instant follow. 💕
Ok, time to watch for a second time so that I can fully concentrate and not get distracted by trying to multitask. Hands down one of my favourite channels and you deserve my undivided attention! (Although now slightly distracted by plans to find Schitts Creek fabric to make my own project for the imminent pattern release ❤)
So much fun watching you. Can't believe how many sals you girls are doing, lots of luck. Babushkas wear the kerchief(scarf) everywhere for warmth in those cold climes. I commented to my niece as soon as I saw your work that the one on the right looks just like many I saw when I was there. Keep up the good work
Lost my mother just under 3 years ago, my brother just under 2 years ago, and my dad 1-1/2 ago. It has been a rough three years. This would be a fabulous stitch for them all. Love your channel by the way. You are both fabulous stitchers.
Love all your projects! So many good birds, you’re gonna be quite the enablers with the patterns I’m gonna need to stitch as well. Lately I’ve been working on different pieces on my lunch stitching breaks (I work from home), I’ve been switching it up for various fb group challenges & then evening stitching has been one full coverage focus piece that I’m super close to finishing. Normally I’m in the SWYWWYW camp - stitch what you want when you want! I forget who started that acronym.
I love your videos! I recently found you and am glad I did. Your projects are great, not the same old ones. I love shopping on Etsy too. It's awesome that you live right by each other too! Looking forward to your next video :) Your names for birds are so funny, and your name for the creature under the house. I always laugh. Your bloopers are the best! Love you too!
I would love to see your color conversion of the Quaker in memory of mother. I’ve never seen this before. My mother passed away a long time ago when I was 23 and would love to stitch this pattern. You two are awesome friends and sisters. I enjoy seeing you both. Happy stitching.
Thanks for another great video. I looked up the pronunciation of sarsaparilla and in the US it is pronounced as you pronounce it so "sasprilla". In Britain they actually pronounce it as "sarsaparilla". By the way you two or Erin and her husband should definitely play the "Untitled Goose Game", it is supremely hilarious and you can make the goose honk anytime you want. My husband and I had the best time playing it together.
Fabulous video as always, I just have to watch your videos asap when they drop! The SAL catalogue is a fabulous idea so I followed that straight away. I adore that Pheasant tapestry cross stitch design from your mother's collection, I love to stitch birds and have lots of birds feature in my handmade cards too but pheasants are one of my favourite birds, possibly second to owls. I live in rural Herefordshire Uk and I see pheasants on a daily basis! Wish it was published for sale today, good luck with it and I look forward to your progress. mother 💗
OMG! Y'all really just need to video yourselves when you are hanging together - who cares if there is any stitching stuff. You two are hilarious!! Have y'all heard a peacock cry? Scared the crap out of me the first time I heard one. I was sitting outside in the dark and had no freaking idea what was making that noise. Creepy sound. One of the cool things about your channel is that I'm learning about new cross stitch and fabric dying artists/companies.
Just found your channel and binged all of your videos. ❤ Great idea on the SAL IG! Have the best time at stitch con, I can't wait to hear all about it.
Hello! I spent time over the last week or so watching all your videos so far, and I'm so glad I decided to check out your channel. I have laughed so much and really enjoyed seeing what you are working on. I am newer to stitching , probably only really into it for about a year and I'm loving it! I do have a question about the stand you are using... I have been looking for something I can use while sitting on the couch (likely in a recliner), is this a good option for a lap stand? I can't really picture it in a lap, seems like it works best on a more flat surface. Thanks for all the stitchy goodnees... I am looking forward to your next video!
I so enjoy ur videos. I laugh so hard I almost peed my pants. Hope u ladies have a great Mothership day. I would love to stitch ur pattern for my Mom who has passed. Ty. Happy stitching ❤
Absolutely love your Sampler for My Mother - what a great idea to personalize it to things she loves! You really should have called this one “Owl Forest Palooza”. Those ground hog babies are so cute!
I agree. Three weeks between videos is a looooooong time! I think after your intro you should start including a bird call with each video. 😂 I’m very anxious to see the end result of your mystery sal in your next video. Happy stitching.
Always fun! I started a SAL ahead of Laura for In Praise of Pollinators where stitchers can stitch their own pace…I contacted Laura and we agreed that two on the same project works when the approach is so different. I actually am doing monogamous stitching each day and typically had been doing four projects a day. Time is short this fortnight so I think there willl be fewer projects to show on my next flosstube but the progress will be noticeable on each. Umm…with bird sounds what about the hooters? I will finish my Zig this week. SO if using my flosstube name KR if using my actual name.
Ah the SAL insta account is a great idea! I always want to participate in them but seem to find out about them when they're already a good chunk of the way through. Amazing video as always ❤🍉
My mother was very crafty and could do anything and did them all well! I can only hope to be a little bit like her. Love your videos. Don’t forget hummer’s and quail in the birds !
I love this stand also. My hands have trouble tightening and untightening knobs so I use a small cheap black and red Goxawee jar opener. The small end fits perfectly on the knob. Also I got rid of the long screw on the stand. It gets in the way when I flip it around.
Any stitches can be done on Aida!!! I’m an Aida stitcher. I cannot see the holes on evenweaves due to vision issues. I’m a self-taught stitcher and have never had an issue with specialty stitches on Aida…. Love love LOVE your WIPs and starts…
I have the same experience with dyeing lugana. The holes close up and I'm pretty sure it shrinks after dyeing. Lugana is usually the easiest to stitch on for me, but the ones I've dyed myself I dislike stitching on.
Thank you for making me laugh today. 😊 I have never seen nor heard a puffin & didn't expect to do so on a flosstube. I am putting the mother sampler on my 'to do' list.
Love all of the starts, wips and sals! Great video as always. I lost my mother about 20 years ago although it seems like yesterday. Keep up the good work and happy stitching!
I find that I just stitch on what calls to me. No schedule. Sometimes I work on more than one thing a night, sometimes I love something so much I stitch on it exclusively until it’s finished. I’m a very mood dependent stitcher. Some days I want something complex, sometimes I just need something super mindless. My only goal is to stitch at least a little bit every day. That way even if it’s only one stitch I’m a winner 😂
My mother loved doing crafts like your dear mother. She can't do anything these days because of eye disease, which has left her legally blind. So sad. Miss doing crafty stuff with my mother.
I am stitching something for my mother now and it is so emotional. I also am doing one for my dad. I find being 47 and reflecting backwards so hard but yet so awesome. Memories are such a beautiful but yet painful thing I love you two and enjoy your stitching. I live in Mn and everyone could see the stupid northern lights and I went out for three hours and nothing
Such a fun video! I've always wanted to try an Owl Forest Embroidery kit. Maybe next year! As far as stitching goes in the evenings I tend to just stitch on one project that way I don't have to worry about putting one always and getting another one out and what not.
Most of the charts you stitch are not anything I would choose to stitch but I absolutly love watching your Floss Tubes! You both bring such pure joy and love to your videos that I would watch them even if you were the worst stitchers on the planet..
Ok I think I have a bird that would trip you up with the categories, Peakcocks sound like loud cats, Crows also can make some fun sounds when you have to feed them. I stitch one project at a time and the main reason why is that I know I would start and never finish otherwise, this also keeps me in check for thinking about what I want to create I don't know how my mother would feel if I won a giveaway for that pattern when she isn't dead yet
You 2 are hilarious! And talented, interesting, etc. But really, how many flosstube channels about cross stitch make viewers crack up laughing! Thanks so much for your fresh, fun channel.
It is official! I can’t watch you hilarious ladies while at work anymore… today, I have snorted, laughed out loud and cried happy stomach aching tears! Love your projects! Keep up the fabulous work! Happy Crafting!
Ladies, I don’t even know where to start
with the comments 😂 So I’ll just say: Your mother raised two amazing persons and I am just so grateful to call you my friends ❤️ I love you guys and all your WIPs and I’m excited for all future projects that will come up 😬😍❤️
When you subscribe to a flosstube ONLY to hear bird noises. ;) Lovely stitching!!!
If I’m reading the IPA (international phonetic alphabet) on Wikipedia correctly, the pronunciation of sarsaparilla that you and I have ever heard is listed as an “also” for the US (as opposed to the UK pronounciation which looks like it includes the r). If I am wrong, please do not come at me linguists, it’s been 23 years since I took vocal diction and learned IPA and 20 years since I last had to actually use it, lol.
I learned my pronunciation from Daffy Duck, so .... lol
Your video was so much fun. I haven't laughed so much in a while. Love all of your projects. They are so unique and beautiful. I can't wait until your next video!!! Happy stitching!!
Everyone around me saw the Northern Lights and posted phenomenal pics. I was up all night checking and nothing! I can only assume it was some kinda mythical light hoax!
Me, too. All I got was exercise. lol
Y’all are so much fun! Lost my mother at age 19, and really miss her.
Love watching y’all! Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!!!!!!!
I snort laughed with tears running down my face at "quackers, honkers, tweeters, meepers, and squakers." scene, especially the stuffed animal birds that make noises. I can confirm that penguins do indeed squawk. Thanks, Erinn's Husband.
Thank you for spending my Sunday with me, it has been so wonderful binge watching your videos #1 to #6.
I have loved seeing your progress on the protects and look forward to watching further progress until seeing them finished.
You have such a lovely relationship, i only wish my sister had a crafty bone in her body to have stitching sessions together, unfortunately she didn't get the craft skill and didn't even like handmade things..... I have asked if she is adopted a few times (joking of course).
It's 2.15am here and i have to be up for work in just under 5 hours so i need to head to bed. I will finish watching your #7 video and your flosstube extra SWM tonight when i get home from work.
Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷 from Judy in New Zealand FT An Aussie in a Kiwi world

Beautiful fabric choice for Fussy Rooster. Banana oil is absolutely amazing. Have you seen her new fabrics she’s been releasing lately? Ridiculous ❤
Pure joy and lots of laughter. Amity, the puffin imitation was pretty spot on. Take care.
OMG! I’m absolutely dying LOL on the whole puffin, quail and battery thing! Y’all are hysterical! Love your videos so much!! Back to watching…..😁
Another amazing video! That puffin sounds like a cow 😂 And YAY about the Schitt’s Creek pattern, can’t explain how excited I am!!!
Nothing to say, except 💯❤
OK, I lied. You two are so funny. Love all your projects, you are such enablers. Going stitching now .
The wheezing/laughing is my favorite. Don’t stop! 😂
OMG - I couldn't stop laughing with you about the bird sounds!!! You had me laughing so hard I was crying. Thank you for the entertainment factor! I so much enjoy watching your channel and seeing the relationship you have with each other!

First time watching!! My daughter and I are going to weekend A! I will be watching for your Schitts Creek stitch! That is one of our favorite shows!!

Another fun episode, I really enjoy watching you two! I hope you both had a wonderful Mother Day. I love your channel name, Hathaway is my maiden name.
You two are fabulous! I think you are my favourite flosstube 🤩
My mother passed away when I was 24, which is 37 years ago now, and I would love to stitch that pattern in her memory.
Keep on happy stitching (as my husband calls it) 😍

You’re my new favorite flosstube channel! Thanks for all the laughs! I look forward to every video visit.
I have “only” (because I know comparatively speaking it’s a low number) about a dozen WIPs going but I pretty much stick with working on one WIP in the evening when I stitch as opposed to switching up. If I actually get an entire day to stitch, I will usually stitch something in the morning and then switch it in the evening hours. Because yes, if I like it and I’m in the flow, why would I put it down?😊
Oh my goodness, I was laughing right along with you today. So much fun! I have kit up my Bird Nerd and am ready to start but feel I should finish something first. Too many wips! Had a lovely time watching.
🪻💐🦋🌺🌷Erinn, Amity 😂
Luv the SALS calendar!🪡🤗
"Sars pa rilla"🥤
21 mins in and you ladies have helped me laugh & smile so much! And I really like that Mother stitch & how your color names are so personally memorable. My own mother, Rose, passed two days before M.D.
Oh thanks for reminding me about Grief Knows No Bounds. I did order that. I hope I can find it in my email!?
You girls are wonderful stitchers. 🪡🧵✨️🖼
Great video ladies! I love the Quaker for my Mother pattern. Beautiful! ❤️🪡
My MOTHER loved flowers and gardening. I loved your hilarity and enjoyment. I know that I am not watching this flosstube on the day you are recording but I am just about to order the bird series you are planning to start, Amity. Then I have to get the floss. I hope to use stash fabric. Erinn, your husband’s categories for birds had me laughing for sure and that’s not easy during the migraine I had. Thanks for cheering me up.
You two are so funny! The memorial pieces you're doing for your mother are really great. I did a kit from RTO of a big vase of flowers with a girl sitting next to it (it looks better than it sounds) for my mom's memorial piece (though I left out most of the backstitching...) because she really loved her garden. Actually, all of your projects are great - I'm looking forward to seeing the results from your secret SAL!
You two crack me up! If I had a floss tube with my sister, it would be like yours....lots of cracking up!
Amity, I do often work on two projects in an evening. I'll put in 25 stitches in one piece (to keep it moving forward) and then will spend the rest of the time on another. On my days off, I often work on 3-4 projects throughout the day, depending on my mood.
Another great video ladies. Love all your projects. My Mother is no longer with me and I love your memory piece you are working on. Looking forward to the next video. Happy Stitching!
I started my first SAL and it is called Sweet Summer by Tiny Modernist but I saw it on 123 stitch and i got the free border and the first series and it is a secret SAL too. I can not keep up with it but I am having a lot of fun with it. I don't think anyone is doing it on FlossTube but that's OK. I am not on Instagram but what you are doing looks great. Love all your starts and WIP's. Happy Stitching.
I'm always so excited when a new video of yours pops up! You're projects look amazing! So excited to see the secret sal reveal!
Hi!the raven bySue Colman is amazing! I did it for my daughter and truthfully its so real looking. Every time I go to their place I am always surprised at it. Oh my I couldn’t change to different stuff every night, I do what I want when I want except been working since feb on 1full coverage as want it done. However usually I do same thing till I want to change a week or so. But I do think you would get more done if worked on one for the evening but it’s however you enjoy it most. It is my mother and father’s anniversary on May 15th. Happy belated mother’s day❤
Great video as always. The peacock pattern is looking amazing on that fabric. And the bird noises cracked me up. Now you need to add screechers for the hawks and eagles. Happy Stitching!
Erinn, I love the Long Dog Sampler you are working on. I contacted Jools but the pattern is in a long out of print book. Would you be interested in selling it when you are finished?
Thoroughly enjoy watching you 2 sisters.
Oh, I had the same reaction to Sarsaparilla! I’m glad to have company. The project for your mother is lovely.
Love you girls! Happy Mother’s Day to you both (fur babies count). My mother also taught me how to cross stitch.
You are just hilarious 😂 it's so fun to watch your videos ❤
And congratulations to Tiny Angry Face for being a mother 🎉
The term "Start A Long" is the best thing ever!
Thank you for the SALendar!!!!
I recently got Arranging the Sewing kit and I'm not going to be unsee that now! ;)
Formal petition to spin all q-snaps when you pick them up 😂 I got sooo excited when I saw you two had a new video. It’s so wonderful to laugh along with you! And the SAL instagram is such a helpful idea! Instant follow. 💕
Ok, time to watch for a second time so that I can fully concentrate and not get distracted by trying to multitask. Hands down one of my favourite channels and you deserve my undivided attention! (Although now slightly distracted by plans to find Schitts Creek fabric to make my own project for the imminent pattern release ❤)
You girls make my day! 😂
I lost my mom 7 years ago we stitched together all the time. Miss her do much!
I would love the Mother pattern!
Thanks!
So much fun watching you. Can't believe how many sals you girls are doing, lots of luck. Babushkas wear the kerchief(scarf) everywhere for warmth in those cold climes. I commented to my niece as soon as I saw your work that the one on the right looks just like many I saw when I was there. Keep up the good work
Lost my mother just under 3 years ago, my brother just under 2 years ago, and my dad 1-1/2 ago. It has been a rough three years. This would be a fabulous stitch for them all. Love your channel by the way. You are both fabulous stitchers.
Love all your projects! So many good birds, you’re gonna be quite the enablers with the patterns I’m gonna need to stitch as well. Lately I’ve been working on different pieces on my lunch stitching breaks (I work from home), I’ve been switching it up for various fb group challenges & then evening stitching has been one full coverage focus piece that I’m super close to finishing. Normally I’m in the SWYWWYW camp - stitch what you want when you want! I forget who started that acronym.
I love your videos! I recently found you and am glad I did. Your projects are great, not the same old ones. I love shopping on Etsy too. It's awesome that you live right by each other too! Looking forward to your next video :) Your names for birds are so funny, and your name for the creature under the house. I always laugh. Your bloopers are the best! Love you too!
I would love to see your color conversion of the Quaker in memory of mother. I’ve never seen this before. My mother passed away a long time ago when I was 23 and would love to stitch this pattern. You two are awesome friends and sisters. I enjoy seeing you both. Happy stitching.
Thanks for another great video. I looked up the pronunciation of sarsaparilla and in the US it is pronounced as you pronounce it so "sasprilla". In Britain they actually pronounce it as "sarsaparilla". By the way you two or Erin and her husband should definitely play the "Untitled Goose Game", it is supremely hilarious and you can make the goose honk anytime you want. My husband and I had the best time playing it together.
Thanks for sharing everything. Hope you continue to keep things simple
Fabulous video as always, I just have to watch your videos asap when they drop! The SAL catalogue is a fabulous idea so I followed that straight away. I adore that Pheasant tapestry cross stitch design from your mother's collection, I love to stitch birds and have lots of birds feature in my handmade cards too but pheasants are one of my favourite birds, possibly second to owls. I live in rural Herefordshire Uk and I see pheasants on a daily basis! Wish it was published for sale today, good luck with it and I look forward to your progress. mother 💗
OMG! Y'all really just need to video yourselves when you are hanging together - who cares if there is any stitching stuff. You two are hilarious!! Have y'all heard a peacock cry? Scared the crap out of me the first time I heard one. I was sitting outside in the dark and had no freaking idea what was making that noise. Creepy sound.
One of the cool things about your channel is that I'm learning about new cross stitch and fabric dying artists/companies.
Just found your channel and binged all of your videos. ❤
Great idea on the SAL IG! Have the best time at stitch con, I can't wait to hear all about it.
You both remind me of my girls. The puffin “grunt” was hilarious and I laughed out loud! Thank you for another great video!
Hello! I spent time over the last week or so watching all your videos so far, and I'm so glad I decided to check out your channel. I have laughed so much and really enjoyed seeing what you are working on. I am newer to stitching , probably only really into it for about a year and I'm loving it! I do have a question about the stand you are using... I have been looking for something I can use while sitting on the couch (likely in a recliner), is this a good option for a lap stand? I can't really picture it in a lap, seems like it works best on a more flat surface. Thanks for all the stitchy goodnees... I am looking forward to your next video!
I so enjoy ur videos. I laugh so hard I almost peed my pants. Hope u ladies have a great Mothership day. I would love to stitch ur pattern for my Mom who has passed. Ty. Happy stitching ❤
Absolutely love your Sampler for My Mother - what a great idea to personalize it to things she loves! You really should have called this one “Owl Forest Palooza”. Those ground hog babies are so cute!
I agree. Three weeks between videos is a looooooong time! I think after your intro you should start including a bird call with each video. 😂 I’m very anxious to see the end result of your mystery sal in your next video. Happy stitching.
I'm already doing a memorial piece for my mom, but I love the one you are working on, Erinn. Thanks for the chance to win...mother
Just found your channel you are so funny your stitching his lovely mother always knows best x
Another amazing flosstube! You guys make me laugh out loud. mother
Always fun! I started a SAL ahead of Laura for In Praise of Pollinators where stitchers can stitch their own pace…I contacted Laura and we agreed that two on the same project works when the approach is so different. I actually am doing monogamous stitching each day and typically had been doing four projects a day. Time is short this fortnight so I think there willl be fewer projects to show on my next flosstube but the progress will be noticeable on each. Umm…with bird sounds what about the hooters? I will finish my Zig this week. SO if using my flosstube name KR if using my actual name.
Ah the SAL insta account is a great idea! I always want to participate in them but seem to find out about them when they're already a good chunk of the way through. Amazing video as always ❤🍉
My mother was very crafty and could do anything and did them all well! I can only hope to be a little bit like her. Love your videos. Don’t forget hummer’s and quail in the birds !
I love this stand also. My hands have trouble tightening and untightening knobs so I use a small cheap black and red Goxawee jar opener. The small end fits perfectly on the knob.
Also I got rid of the long screw on the stand. It gets in the way when I flip it around.
Any stitches can be done on Aida!!! I’m an Aida stitcher. I cannot see the holes on evenweaves due to vision issues. I’m a self-taught stitcher and have never had an issue with specialty stitches on Aida…. Love love LOVE your WIPs and starts…
I have the same experience with dyeing lugana. The holes close up and I'm pretty sure it shrinks after dyeing. Lugana is usually the easiest to stitch on for me, but the ones I've dyed myself I dislike stitching on.
Thank you for making me laugh today. 😊 I have never seen nor heard a puffin & didn't expect to do so on a flosstube.
I am putting the mother sampler on my 'to do' list.
Love all of the starts, wips and sals! Great video as always. I lost my mother about 20 years ago although it seems like yesterday. Keep up the good work and happy stitching!
Awesome video
Happy Mother's Day
I wish I had a sister that lived close
I find that I just stitch on what calls to me. No schedule. Sometimes I work on more than one thing a night, sometimes I love something so much I stitch on it exclusively until it’s finished. I’m a very mood dependent stitcher. Some days I want something complex, sometimes I just need something super mindless. My only goal is to stitch at least a little bit every day. That way even if it’s only one stitch I’m a winner 😂
My mother loved doing crafts like your dear mother. She can't do anything these days because of eye disease, which has left her legally blind. So sad. Miss doing crafty stuff with my mother.
You ladies remind me of when my 3 sisters and I were younger. We were always laughing about something.
I love the salendar! It is such a great idea! Love this flosstube!
I am stitching something for my mother now and it is so emotional. I also am doing one for my dad. I find being 47 and reflecting backwards so hard but yet so awesome. Memories are such a beautiful but yet painful thing I love you two and enjoy your stitching. I live in Mn and everyone could see the stupid northern lights and I went out for three hours and nothing
Such a fun video! I've always wanted to try an Owl Forest Embroidery kit. Maybe next year! As far as stitching goes in the evenings I tend to just stitch on one project that way I don't have to worry about putting one always and getting another one out and what not.
Wait, what about the cluckers? Love all of your stitching, you all are a riot. 🪡🧵☮️🌷
I started a new stitch for my mother on Mother's Day called Family Circle. I'll be giving it to her for her birthday if I finish it in time.
Another great video…love the progress on your projects and plans! I always enjoy the kindness you show each other 😊
Mother question? Do penguins squawk? 🦜
Most of the charts you stitch are not anything I would choose to stitch but I absolutly love watching your Floss Tubes! You both bring such pure joy and love to your videos that I would watch them even if you were the worst stitchers on the planet..
You are so much fun to watch! My mother and I both cross stitch and are impressed by your work ❤️
Ok I think I have a bird that would trip you up with the categories, Peakcocks sound like loud cats, Crows also can make some fun sounds when you have to feed them.
I stitch one project at a time and the main reason why is that I know I would start and never finish otherwise, this also keeps me in check for thinking about what I want to create
I don't know how my mother would feel if I won a giveaway for that pattern when she isn't dead yet
Love you Gals. I can always count on good cry watching you Your hysterics are very contagious. I would love to stitch the Mother pattern
