Hello again! I am completely overwhelmed with the support and welcome from my first video. This update was filmed before I ever uploaded my WIP parade. I am so grateful and thankful to all those who viewed, liked, commented, and/or subscribed. I appreciate each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart. My main goal was to reach out and connect with other stitchers and I think I can call that a success! I hope you all enjoy this update video. Timestamps below and chapters will be included if you need/want to skip ahead, no harm, no foul.
THANK YOU!
If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment or find me on IG @stitchnbooks and DM me there.

hello star baby! lol! so happy for you for doing another video! Yeah!
Hi Jill! So glad you joined flosstube! I enjoyed watching your wip parade and your May plans. I also love to stitch animals and floral designs, but I guess I like to stitch whatever catches my eye at the time. I'm very much a process stitcher as well. I'm glad you are feeling better, and your stitching bug has returned!
Thank you Jennifer! Happy my stitching bug is back as well :)
Hi Jill, so glad you’re here with us! As someone with debilitating anxiety, I know how low those lows can get, so I’m sending so much love your way ❤❤ I love all of your projects you’re working on, especially The Raccoon, so cute!
Thank you!! Sending support back to you! And the Raccoon will be coming back for sure!!
Big virtual hugs for getting the support you need to break out of the depression spiral, I know how hard it is! Looking forward to seeing your projects progress (especially the lemon one, it's so beautiful!)
Thank you! And the Lemon one is probably my favorite WIP right now. It will be featured again :)
I am glad you got the depression in control or gone ! It can be very exhausting ❤❤🫶🏽🫶🏽 great progress! Love the fabrics
Thank you! Its nice to be back feeling more like myself :)
I think we have a similar mindset with sourcing linen and so I wanted to recommend looking up yarntree too. It's bulk quantities, so like a yard. But when I need raw linen that's where I go and then just use the piece for lots of projects. Thanks for being so open about depression and medication too, I'm all too familiar with that world. 💙
Thank you! I’ll have to go check yarntree out.
Hi Jill. I know first hand how debilitating depression can be. I’ve been suffering since 1993. I now know that medication is the best way for me. I went and checked Box & Fox after your first video. I love the designs so much. I want to do one of the florals. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
Thank you Leslie! It’s been a long journey for me too. Box & Fox are wonderful stitches! Let me know if you finally decide on one!
I’m glad you got the depression under control! I also suffer from anxiety and depression so I totally get it ❤
Thank you! Sending support your way ❤️
@@StitchnBooks tysm! 🥰
No joke I kitted up those Carolyn manning SAME DAY. Lol! I love her new releases. ❤
They are so much fun and beautiful! It was a very quick kitting up process for me too. I just needed a quick trip to Michael’s for the missing floss, haha!
You’re doing great!!! Where is your craft thrift store. We have Remainders in Pasadena. Looking forward to your next flosstube.
It’s Remainders! I make the drive out there every so often and it’s always worth the trip :)
Hi Jill, thanks for sharing your WIP’s, haul, stash and life. I too am very frugal and try to figure out ways to do my favorite past time without spending a fortune. I haven’t figured out the whole Facebook de-stash thing yet.
I have a question. In your first video you talked about getting patterns out of cross stitch magazines that are on Libby. How do you get a version you can put on your device to work from or a printable version? I’ve tried a few things but they don’t come out clear enough to work from. Could you please explain how you do it please?
Thank you for your kind words Barbara!
It’s the not the best quality, I’ll admit but I use my iPad and take a screenshot and work off of the photo. Thankfully I don’t choose too complicated charts. Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you but the largest screen you have to use the better. I have a friend who gets Libby on their computer and that seems to work for them.
