Love your stitching projects, Shellie, as always. Those wonderful Mary Cox stitched pieces from Etsy ended up in the hands of the perfect person to care for them. Thank you for the shout out for my shop; I’m so glad you loved your purchase!❤
Oh, love the Prairie Schoolers on perforated paper! And that you selected meaningful years! Ann McLaughlin’s beautiful pieces are in the perfect home with you - very treasured.
Amazing treasures - they have arrived home with a worthy custodian who will care for and appreciate them as they truly deserve to be. Thanks for sharing Shelley! PS: that was a lovely anecdote you told about your son - how touching!
Those stitched pieces are Beyond amazing!!! I know she’d be proud to have her needlework shown and gushed over!! It definitely went to the right Home!!
Hello. Shelly love that you did the Santa’s on perforated paper I have done many Wishing thorn designs love them, how sweet to put your daughters initials in the , chartuch auto correct oh my, Mary Cox is amazing, oh my gosh, you are so Lucy to have found her shop. Love Tiger Lily monthly box this month, red is my favorite color, you have been blessed with so many lovely items. I love seeing unboxing so much fun, ❤ love your socks, the wheel reminds me of the mill that used to be in Hanover, Minnesota, there was a squeaky wheel I loved hearing it I grew up in Minneapolis and moved to the country. Love your quilt projects, it is always a pleasure to see you, Gods Blessings on you.
Such great stitching finds! Love your socks you have on your needles! (The wheel-yes I went looking to see what was beeping…finally made the connection when I put you on pause to investigate…glad I didn’t send an SOS to my husband🙃🤭😂😂)
Great projects other than stitching. You found some fabulous treasures. Glad you rescued them. But you have to wonder why the family didn't keep them & cherish them. Marilyn
Wow wow wow,what a fabulous Etsy find you got. It is all absolutely amazing and gorgeous 😊👏🏻👏🏻 Enjoyed this as always. Love your knitting. I would love to knit short socks like those. Need a next to bigginer pattern tho. 😊 Love your quilting projects!
Such an awesome find from Etsy shop with the beautiful stitching by Ann! You had to have been given an angel directing you to save these lovely pieces and rightly deserved I might say. The time, love and creativity that goes into those pieces will live on in your lovely mill😀. And I am thinking I need to learn how to knit seeing your lovely sock patterns! Oh boy that will be a rabbit hole 🕳️ for sure haha.🤣 seriously they are so stinking cute! Thank you for looking into sharing your “heel” stitching with all of us later on in the Fall. Have a great August stitching all the things.
The baskets and stitching you were so fortunate to happen upon are incredible!!!! I love RESCUING craft projects and items that I’ve seen at thrift and goodwill stores. I love watching your videos.
Thank you for another wonderful floss tube. I would love to see how you knit your socks. I tried knitting socks years ago and didn’t have much success.
Great video. I did Prairie schooler santas for each dog we’ve had and I put the year on the front, just a suggestion for the Santas that have a meaning. have a great week.
I love the delight and appreciation that you have for that lady’s stitching. We all hope that when we’ve gone our stitching will mean something to somebody as part of our legacy- and it gives me hope that even those people who are sadly on their own in life, stitching away- maybe their work will end up in a charity shop or a sale and end up being truly loved and appreciated by someone like you. Xx
Shelly, it’s funny hearing about your special dates and years because we share some special years and some for very similar reason’s! 1984 my husband and I too started dating. 1991 my first was born too!! I love the idea of stitching the Santa’s on perforated paper…great
Oh my goodness Shellie we are going to be pushed out of house and home with all this enabling! So many things to chk out! I must see about that crown sampler! I sometimes feel bad about changing samplers to fit my family but think it might be time to try with this one of tiger lily’s. I still feel like I don’t know all the rules when it comes to reproductions & originals. Your Etsy finds too wow what a treasure to find all those things. Enjoy the fixing up and of course any time you can be with your kids it’s a good day. Happy almost end of summer friend. So happy you have an in with your friend so you can enjoy all those beautiful things!! ❤👋😁🪡
The shaker boxes that are not from Orleans are from Frye’s Measure Mill. Much of the linen in the pages of needle books on Merry’s projects is antique linen. I’m sure many of the accessories are antiques. You really did acquire a valuable treasure! So glad these wonderful things did not end up in Goodwill.
Merry so sweetly chimed in and shared some great information with me as well. The one shaker Box is embossed Orleans but the non handled one isn’t marked possibly it’s Frye. Thank you for your input
I didn't do well with my 1st piece of Davos, no idea why. Great Pieces, basket, pincushion & needle book, the hardanger, those specialty stitches, the shaker boxes +++ gorgeous work!!
Those treasures you showed of finished Merry Cox designs by Ann were from EGA. I remember seeing the classes showing those pieces in various c/s mags I had. Always wished I could attend, however, alas, not affordable at the time.
You found some beautiful treasures. Nice to see them go to someone who just loves them. Thanks for all the inspiration you show us all in every one of your videos.
Awesome flosstube tube video! I’m so happy that you rescued the cross stitch treasures from Etsy. You expressed such emotion for giving these beauties a new home where they’ll be treasured! Almost made me cry too! We all joke about our kids not wanting our cross stitch and have instructed all our cross stitch friends to go to our houses immediately when we pass and take our stuff so that it is never seen at a yard sale or resale shop. God bless you, Shelly!!! ❤️
Thanks for showing your treasures - beautiful! I love that you are sharing ALL of your making now. I am also a "maker" - xstitch, knitting, quilting, crochet sometimes - and it is sooo nice to see others sharing their love of all the handwork. So appreciate you!
Both Georgiana and Ann would be great choices to stitch for Sampler September and Black Sampler November. They are beautiful together. I think the Potoky M1 in gray would be my choice because of the storage option and I could leave it out to display a piece or be ready to stitch. Thank you Nicola!
Those Etsy treasures are amazing! I love how you presented them. . . I was watching like a little kid at Christmas, and you were getting excited about them all over again! Thank you for rescuing them and delightfully sharing them with us. Love all that you share. I quilt and knit as well. Thank you for the inspiration.
Oh my goodness……when you showed your saved pieces, I automatically thought to myself that you were the perfect soul to find/save them. They will be treasured for years to come. And I’m sure she’s smiling all the way from above watching you love them. 💗 As for your squeaky wheel…..thank goodness you said something as I made a mental note to get dear hubby to check the back room in the basement as I thought it was coming from back there. You saved him a lot of headache 😂 Thanks for another great episode. Always look forward to watching/listening to you. 💗💕💓
The wonderful treasures you happened to find are so amazing! I’ve never seen stitched projects like these, every piece is so special. You will be the perfect caretaker of these items. Thanks for sharing these and everything else in this video. Love the Nashville socks, they look so cozy. Take care!
Oh, my goodness, Girlfriend! Im so glad those treasures found their way to you where I know they'll be treasured! Just the shaker boxes themselves would have been amazing but all that exquisite stitching??? Wow, I i know that there was a stutcher who would have been thrilled to know with whom her goodies will reside for years to come!!!
So beautiful hand stitching by Ann . You have a few treasures pieces. So glad your back. Wow lucky find and love seeing these vintage piece. Know you’ll treasure it all
Love spending time stitching and watching your videos, always full of lots of inspiration, tips and beautiful needlework!! 😍 Can't wait to see your finished quilts! Happy stitching!!
Beautiful stitching, beautiful knitting and beautiful quilting Sherri! Those pieces from Ann Mc. are priceless! What a find! Thanks for sharing them with us, what a treasure you are. Happy Stitching! Rebecca C.
Hello Shellie!! Thank you for another enjoyable Flosstube!! You always have so much to share!! And this one did not disappoint!! Your find on Etsy was amazing!! This lot of history was meant for you!! It always breaks my heart when I see hand made items in second hand shops or antique shops. I always wonder why families don’t treasure the handmade items. It warmed my heart to hear the story about your son. I am not even sure if my boys or husband notice what joy my stitching brings to me. But I love doing it no matter what!! That’s why I love watching Flosstube. Because I get to visit with like minded makers !! Have a wonderful weekend!! ❤
I have always loved that sampler basket by Hillside Samplings. I have a couple of kits for other HS projects that I need to get to in my stash! I have stitched the Merry Cox huswife. It was also on the cover of an Antique Samplers and Needlework magazine and Lois from Lady Dot Creates offered a complete kit when she had her shop (Elegant Stitch). I have begun to do the finishing. So wonderful to see it done. But if someone wants to do it I’m sure the pattern is in the full magazine collection CD you can buy.
You know I always enjoy spending time with you. 😊 Those Merry Cox pieces are amazing. I’m so pleased you’ve become their custodian. They will be so loved and appreciated with you. ❤❤❤
Hi Shellie - I have to say I was very emotional when you showed the finished pieces you found on Etsy. The basket with pin cushion and needlebook are not my designs but oh, so lovely. The sewing roll lined in blue silk was my piece featured on the cover of Sampler & Antique Needlework 2002. I designed ‘House on the Hill’ and first taught this set in Williamsburg. Everyone in class even coffee dyed their own piece of linen. I love writing a little poem for my pieces so ‘House on the Hill’ has one as well as the ‘Sailor’s Huswif’. I designed the ‘Sailor’s Huswif’ and also first taught it in Williamsburg. The next year I designed and taught the ‘Ditty Box’ with pocket and accessories for the Sailor’s Huswif. After introducing these designs in Williamsburg, I then taught them many more times at seminars and guilds. My designs were only available for my classes. Ann McLaughlin did such extraordinary stitching and finishing. I am so happy that you will love and cherish her work. Thank you for sharing. With love, Merry Cox
What an honor to hear from you Merry!!! I cannot tell you how emotional it was for me to retrieve these pieces. I may have never known Ann but her outstanding work and execution of your beautiful patterns will be held in such high esteem and treasured here in my home. Mingled with you telling the story of your work makes these pieces even more precious. Thank you so much for chiming in, it truly means the world to hear about your work and the stories that make up the life of these treasures. Many blessings to you Shellie
Love "visiting with you" through your videos but nothing compares to when I actually got to give you a real hug. So glad we got to meet. You are a big time enabler =} I want to learn to quilt an love watching the quilting segments as well.
Thank you for sharing your treasures. I am happy that these works of art are in your possession, where they will be cherished. I always look forward to your videos as they feel like a visit from a friend.
What a wonderful episode! It was meant for you to find and purchase the beautiful heirlooms that you found. You appreciate and will treasure them! Love to you!
I love watching your videos. You always have interesting information and treasures. I hope one day I am able to save a stitchy treasure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and all your stitchy happiness.
I have to tell you, when you stated that your wheel was squeaky, I laughed so hard. I was watching you on my deck while I was stitching. I was also feeding my chipmunks and squirrels. I wear hearing aides and I was getting angry because I thought our neighborhood pair of hawks were screeching because they wanted to get our chippies. When you shared your wheel was squeaky, I took out one hearing aide and that is what the noise was. It was just too funny! Thank you so much for your wonderful channel and stitch on.
Thanks for the great information as always. Your Merry Cox items are a lucky find. I have been searching since I heard she was going to retire. I wish I had the opportunity to attend one of her workshops. Such treasures, thanks for sharing them.
A wonderful visit with you. Love your stitching additions to your happy place. Thanks for the inspiration to get that log cabin quilt started as I can’t get the same fabric but have the book with pattern in. This will be in my near future quilting. Blessings and happy stitching/sewing.
What a great inspirational episode!! Loved seeing your stitching saves and the significant Santa stitch years really gave me an idea. I could never figure out how to choose which year of Santa and now I have a plan! Your log cabin block is beautiful. A black center square historically meant your home was a stop on the Underground Railroad. 😊 Working on a sock while I watched and am also interested in a mosaic sock. How cool!
Thanks for sharing all of the wonderful things, Shellie. I enjoy your videos so much. Loved seeing your Prairie Schooler pieces-I have stitched all of those plus many more on afghan fabric. So pretty. Have a great weekend. See you on your next video. Pam Miller
It’s like Christmas morning watching your video, I’m having such fun seeing you reveal all the beautiful pieces that you have found. I wonder if anyone will recognise these projects & share theirs if they too attended the same workshops. Thank you 🙂
Shellie, your Ann McLaughlin cross-stitch creations are phenomenal. I thought of the word "synchronicity," as you shared them. You were meant to be their new owner due to how the timing of you finding them worked out. I'm happy for you! :-D
Hi I love watching you channel you bring so much joy and your spirit is so comforting. I am knitting my 1st pair of socks like you I like the ankle socks too. I was wondering where I could find the heel tutorial for the heel on the socks you did. I look for I thought you said Shelly heel? But a point in the right direction would be helpful as I am getting close to start my heel. Thanks can wait till you next video.
Oops, I was trying to send you a message on insta and hit send on accident before I finished typing. I have the pattern for the sewing basket you purchased. It is called Sampler Sewing Basket by Hillside Samplings. Designs by Lesley Rudnicki. I’ve had it for 30 years! Inspired to stitch it now
I kept hearing the squeaky noise and I couldn’t figure out what my husband was doing outside to make that noise. I got up to figure it out and the noise stopped. Here it was on your video. I had a good laugh.
You are one busy lady. I get tired just listening to all you do. The highlight of this video is your Etsy fined. It was just meant to be that you would find all those treasures. I’m so happy that they have found a good home where each piece will be appreciated and taken care of. SM’s work is amazing. Enjoy!
Shelly thank you for sharing all of that goodness and I am glad you were able to get a lot of her stitching. I have a question Holly talked about your sock heel do you have a tutorial for it?
I so enjoy all the things that you are into. I am a multi crafter but not as proficient as you. I’m trying to knit my first pair of socks and I am having a hard time with the heel. Would you consider giving a tutorial on your special heel? I don’t have anyone to help me where I live. Thank you very much.❤
Here’s your help!!❤️ th-cam.com/video/8ShOMttGs3Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lV40DImZhCoXc5dP th-cam.com/video/sUlM3_YlsMU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WUbcts2e2w9o3ZGk These are two videos that show part 1 and 2 of the heel I do. YOU’VE GOT THIS!!!!! When you finish please do send me an email so I can applaud you!! antiqueneedleworkers@gmail.com
Good morning Shelly, miss enabler! I am usually able to resist your great temptations but this time you got me big time! I love the set of scissors and things that you got for your knitting bag. Can you point me in the right direction please to purchase a set or two! Lol. And while we are in knitting, I have been talking with Holly and even tho I have knitted for a long time I have been hesitant to try socks. She is encouraging me to bite the bullet and try them and now I have discovered the person with the pattern for the easy heel! Would you be willing to share that with me so I can add one more thing to my habit please? And lastly the log caving quilt you showed is stunning. I am also a quilter of sorts and have always wanted to do a log cabin and the one you are doing is fabulous and when you mentioned it can also be done in ble I was sunk!!!! Can you tell me where to purchase the pattern and kit for it please? It is fabulous! Thank you so much for your wonderful floss tubes and keep up the enabling. Love both you and Holly! Thanks, Rene
Can you please share your pattern for your heel when knitting your socks? I love to knit socks but have difficulty with the heel. I am not an accomplished knitter. I have knit about a half dozen pairs but still am learning. Your knitting project looks so nice. Love watching your videos!
Hello from Tennessee! ? Do you sell your knit sock heel pattern ? I love knitting and have worked on socks so many times and the heel always kills the project. I've finished a few, but the heel is never quite right. Please let me know. 😊😊😊😊😊 Your antique finds were just amazing. I'm so glad they will be in the hands of someone that will cherish them. ❤❤❤
In your quilting section, what is the name of the fabric line for the center you used? I go to L&L often in Madison IN and would like to pick up a yard of it. Love everything you show☺
Love your stitching projects, Shellie, as always. Those wonderful Mary Cox stitched pieces from Etsy ended up in the hands of the perfect person to care for them. Thank you for the shout out for my shop; I’m so glad you loved your purchase!❤
Oh, love the Prairie Schoolers on perforated paper! And that you selected meaningful years! Ann McLaughlin’s beautiful pieces are in the perfect home with you - very treasured.
Amazing treasures - they have arrived home with a worthy custodian who will care for and appreciate them as they truly deserve to be. Thanks for sharing Shelley! PS: that was a lovely anecdote you told about your son - how touching!
What a truly amazing find Shelley. Ann McLaughlan was a wonderful stitcher and finisher.
I love that heart with the glass beads around the edge !
Your basket and pieces aren't Merry Cox, it was a pattern by Leslie Rudnicki. All very beautiful. Thanks for rescuing!
This made me emotional. Those absolutely gorgeous pieces fell in the most deserving, caretaking hands. Thank you for safekeeping her art
Loved your video! Beautiful rescued pieces!
Another fantastic video, thanks for taking the time to share.
Those stitched pieces are
Beyond amazing!!! I know she’d be proud to have her needlework shown and gushed over!! It definitely went to the right
Home!!

What treasures you found. My husband served in the Navy. I am going to try and make something with that quote about gazing out to sea.
Shelley, you are so inspiring! I loved seeing your treasures from Ann. Thank you so much for another great video.
Great projects other than stitching.
You found some fabulous treasures.
Glad you rescued them.
But you have to wonder why the family didn't keep them & cherish them.
Marilyn
Wow wow wow,what a fabulous Etsy find you got. It is all absolutely amazing and gorgeous 😊👏🏻👏🏻 Enjoyed this as always. Love your knitting. I would love to knit short socks like those. Need a next to bigginer pattern tho. 😊 Love your quilting projects!
I really love the huswife. LaDDa has some great projects
This is my first time here I will be back love your channel
Such an awesome find from Etsy shop with the beautiful stitching by Ann! You had to have been given an angel directing you to save these lovely pieces and rightly deserved I might say.

Beautiful stitching
Thank you for another wonderful floss tube. I would love to see how you knit your socks. I tried knitting socks years ago and didn’t have much success.
The basket is by Hillside Samplings. I have made it as well, but yours is much nicer, as the stitcher added some of her own touches.
The one on the basket is by Hillside Samplings and is The sampler sewing basket.
Great video. I did Prairie schooler santas for each dog we’ve had and I put the year on the front, just a suggestion for the Santas that have a meaning. have a great week.
I love the delight and appreciation that you have for that lady’s stitching. We all hope that when we’ve gone our stitching will mean something to somebody as part of our legacy- and it gives me hope that even those people who are sadly on their own in life, stitching away- maybe their work will end up in a charity shop or a sale and end up being truly loved and appreciated by someone like you.

Always a favorite!
Shelly, it’s funny hearing about your special dates and years because we share some special years and some for very similar reason’s!
1984 my husband and I too started dating.
1991 my first was born too!!
I love the idea of stitching the Santa’s on perforated paper…great

Shellie, congratulations on your nice find. I have been working on my paper piecing. I think I missed the last video. I have to look for it.
The shaker boxes that are not from Orleans are from Frye’s Measure Mill. Much of the linen in the pages of needle books on Merry’s projects is antique linen. I’m sure many of the accessories are antiques. You really did acquire a valuable treasure! So glad these wonderful things did not end up in Goodwill.

Enjoy your treasures
Awesome flosstube tube video! I’m so happy that you rescued the cross stitch treasures from Etsy. You expressed such emotion for giving these beauties a new home where they’ll be treasured!

We all joke about our kids not wanting our cross stitch and have instructed all our cross stitch friends to go to our houses immediately when we pass and take our stuff so that it is never seen at a yard sale or resale shop. God bless you, Shelly!!! ❤️
LOVE all the “Ann” pieces!😍 Really love all the quilty goodness too! Thanks for another great enabling session!😂
I can't think of a more beautiful place or person for those Etsy treasures to be housed within! Each one was truly exquisite!
Thanks for showing all your Mary Cox treasures. I always enjoy visiting with you. Love seeing all different creative arts.
Thanks for showing your treasures - beautiful! I love that you are sharing ALL of your making now. I am also a "maker" - xstitch, knitting, quilting, crochet sometimes - and it is sooo nice to see others sharing their love of all the handwork. So appreciate you!
Both Georgiana and Ann would be great choices to stitch for Sampler September and Black Sampler November. They are beautiful together. I think the Potoky M1 in gray would be my choice because of the storage option and I could leave it out to display a piece or be ready to stitch.

Thank you for an amazing video. Your finished pieces haul was unbelievable
I’m so glad you said your wheel was squealing because l keep looking at my dog and asking him what’s wrong. Lol!!
Hello Shellie!! Thank you for another enjoyable Flosstube!! You always have so much to share!! And this one did not disappoint!! Your find on Etsy was amazing!! This lot of history was meant for you!! It always breaks my heart when I see hand made items in second hand shops or antique shops. I always wonder why families don’t treasure the handmade items. It warmed my heart to hear the story about your son. I am not even sure if my boys or husband notice what joy my stitching brings to me. But I love doing it no matter what!! That’s why I love watching Flosstube. Because I get to visit with like minded makers !! Have a wonderful weekend!! ❤
I made the husewif many yeRs ago a class with Merry Cox
It is completely hand stitched
It was a class with Just crossstitch in Williamsburg
Love your videos! Especially anything vintage that you show. Thank you. 🧵🧶
I have always loved that sampler basket by Hillside Samplings. I have a couple of kits for other HS projects that I need to get to in my stash! I have stitched the Merry Cox huswife. It was also on the cover of an Antique Samplers and Needlework magazine and Lois from Lady Dot Creates offered a complete kit when she had her shop (Elegant Stitch). I have begun to do the finishing. So wonderful to see it done. But if someone wants to do it I’m sure the pattern is in the full magazine collection CD you can buy.
Thank you for a wonderful video. You are a very busy lady, I wish I had half of your energy. God bless you. ❤
You know I always enjoy spending time with you. 😊
Those Merry Cox pieces are amazing. I’m so pleased you’ve become their custodian. They will be so loved and appreciated with you. ❤❤❤
OMGEEE those baskets were too much!! I need to make my own! Thanks for sharing your treasures 💙
Hi Shellie - I have to say I was very emotional when you showed the finished pieces you found on Etsy. The basket with pin cushion and needlebook are not my designs but oh, so lovely.

Thanks, Shelli, for all that you share with us. Your 3 Santa’s would make a perfect triptych.

Baskets and stitching are beautiful hard to believe they would not keep a love ones work
I have to tell you, when you stated that your wheel was squeaky, I laughed so hard. I was watching you on my deck while I was stitching. I was also feeding my chipmunks and squirrels.

Thanks for the great information as always. Your Merry Cox items are a lucky find. I have been searching since I heard she was going to retire. I wish I had the opportunity to attend one of her workshops. Such treasures, thanks for sharing them.
A wonderful visit with you. Love your stitching additions to your happy place. Thanks for the inspiration to get that log cabin quilt started as I can’t get the same fabric but have the book with pattern in. This will be in my near future quilting. Blessings and happy stitching/sewing.
What a great inspirational episode!! Loved seeing your stitching saves and the significant Santa stitch years really gave me an idea. I could never figure out how to choose which year of Santa and now I have a plan! Your log cabin block is beautiful. A black center square historically meant your home was a stop on the Underground Railroad. 😊 Working on a sock while I watched and am also interested in a mosaic sock. How cool!
Enjoyed your video … thanks for sharing your beautiful pieces in your haul and your stitching … 😊❤ Dena
Thanks for sharing all of the wonderful things, Shellie. I enjoy your videos so much. Loved seeing your Prairie Schooler pieces-I have stitched all of those plus many more on afghan fabric. So pretty. Have a great weekend. See you on your next video. Pam Miller
It’s like Christmas morning watching your video, I’m having such fun seeing you reveal all the beautiful pieces that you have found. I wonder if anyone will recognise these projects & share theirs if they too attended the same workshops. Thank you 🙂
I always enjoy your videos so much! Happy Stitches, see you soon!
Thank you for sharing treasures and projects. ❤❤
absolutely beautiful pieces, always looking for your VDO love your HAul.
Shellie, your Ann McLaughlin cross-stitch creations are phenomenal. I thought of the word "synchronicity," as you shared them. You were meant to be their new owner due to how the timing of you finding them worked out. I'm happy for you! :-D
Hi I love watching you channel you bring so much joy and your spirit is so comforting. I am knitting my 1st pair of socks like you I like the ankle socks too. I was wondering where I could find the heel tutorial for the heel on the socks you did. I look for I thought you said Shelly heel? But a point in the right direction would be helpful as I am getting close to start my heel. Thanks can wait till you next video.
I call it the Shellie heel because it’s my favorite.
If you would be so kind as to email me - I will send you links so you can see how yo do it
Oops, I was trying to send you a message on insta and hit send on accident before I finished typing. I have the pattern for the sewing basket you purchased. It is called Sampler Sewing Basket by Hillside Samplings. Designs by Lesley Rudnicki. I’ve had it for 30 years! Inspired to stitch it now
Crazy beautiful
I kept hearing the squeaky noise and I couldn’t figure out what my husband was doing outside to make that noise. I got up to figure it out and the noise stopped. Here it was on your video. I had a good laugh.
You are one busy lady. I get tired just listening to all you do. The highlight of this video is your Etsy fined. It was just meant to be that you would find all those treasures. I’m so happy that they have found a good home where each piece will be appreciated and taken care of. SM’s work is amazing. Enjoy!
I think the basket may be hillside samplings. A friend bought several pieces on line that were Merry Cox. Probably same seller
Thank you for always inspiring me!!!
Might have to give paper a try I did once and wasn’t sure I like it
Shellie if you like self striping yarn try Fiber Nymph dye works
Shelly thank you for sharing all of that goodness and I am glad you were able to get a lot of her stitching.
I have a question Holly talked about your sock heel do you have a tutorial for it?
I have such a demand to see it that I believe I’m going to shoot a video and show everyone keep your eyes peeled for it
@@antiqueneedleworkers I sure will thank you ❤️
I so enjoy all the things that you are into. I am a multi crafter but not as proficient as you. I’m trying to knit my first pair of socks and I am having a hard time with the heel. Would you consider giving a tutorial on your special heel? I don’t have anyone to help me where I live. Thank you very much.❤
Here’s your help!!❤️

Good morning Shelly, miss enabler! I am usually able to resist your great temptations but this time you got me big time! I love the set of scissors and things that you got for your knitting bag. Can you point me in the right direction please to purchase a set or two! Lol. And while we are in knitting, I have been talking with Holly and even tho I have knitted for a long time I have been hesitant to try socks. She is encouraging me to bite the bullet and try them and now I have discovered the person with the pattern for the easy heel! Would you be willing to share that with me so I can add one more thing to my habit please? And lastly the log caving quilt you showed is stunning. I am also a quilter of sorts and have always wanted to do a log cabin and the one you are doing is fabulous and when you mentioned it can also be done in ble I was sunk!!!! Can you tell me where to purchase the pattern and kit for it please? It is fabulous! Thank you so much for your wonderful floss tubes and keep up the enabling. Love both you and Holly! Thanks, Rene
❤❤❤
WOW WOW WOW!!❤❤❤
Can you please share your pattern for your heel when knitting your socks? I love to knit socks but have difficulty with the heel. I am not an accomplished knitter. I have knit about a half dozen pairs but still am learning. Your knitting project looks so nice. Love watching your videos!
I think I need to do a video and show everyone. I have a lot of requests.
❤❤ Absolutely Beautiful memories 🌹 of a cross stitcher❤ Truly Blessed 🙏🙌 InezArnetta 🌹
Hello from Tennessee! ? Do you sell your knit sock heel pattern ? I love knitting and have worked on socks so many times and the heel always kills the project. I've finished a few, but the heel is never quite right. Please let me know. 😊😊😊😊😊 Your antique finds were just amazing. I'm so glad they will be in the hands of someone that will cherish them. ❤❤❤
I will be making a video and sharing my heel method in the near future for everyone to enjoy!
@@antiqueneedleworkers thank you so so much!
In your quilting section, what is the name of the fabric line for the center you used? I go to L&L often in Madison IN and would like to pick up a yard of it. Love everything you show☺
