Susan, you have done such a wonderful job creating Corliss's story. I really enjoyed listening as I sewed this afternoon. And those examples of the day robes are STUNNING! It's crazy to think they never saw the light of day outside of a home.
SusAn, Love your stitched stories! Didn’t we all as young children want to be around the older girls or listen in to the adults when they were talking amongst themselves to hear or learn some new things or hear some gossip! Oh just love secrets in the stitches, looking forward to more :) . What a nice job your husband did on the tin hexagon template, thumbs up to being interested in one of those! Thank you again for all the I formation you share and your time!!
Thank you so much for that feedback! I love hearing from you each time and I really appreciate knowing what is meaningful to you in these episodes. I have lots of ideas and I’m so happy you’re on the journey with me.❤
I would love to hear more stitching stories! Thank you for all of your research into this to bring it to us. I am a huge history buff and enjoy this type of stuff so much!!
Thank you so much and I would love any information you have on this time. And specifically this area, Louisville, Kentucky!!! Thank you so much for watching and joining Corliss in her Stitching journey
Susan, how I love your style, your imaginative stories with historically accurate , critically researched material. Your individuality is so refreshing, your manner and conveying of information so relaxed and welcoming...I look forward to your videos....R
Oh that’s so kind!!!!! I really endeavor to make the stories and the lives of these girls as real as possible!!!! My girls are fictional characters, but the samplers and quilts we love were made by real people and their lives were interesting and worth remembering. ❤️
Loved watching you this morning Susan your wonderful story telling to teach us about historical stitching and seeing your progress on the pieces we are both stitching on. Your adaptations to The Old Scott are wonderful- I haven’t yet leaped into to much of making changes to samplers but I love how it gives such a special connection for you to these pieces. The Old Scott is beckoning me now💞💖 🧵🪡
This was wonderful, Susan! I loved seeing all your stitching - you have been busy! - and your bird framed by hexagons is just stunning, but listening to Corliss' story and the fully realized journey and personality that you've crafted is so interesting. Huge yes to more Stitched Stories, I enjoyed that series for Mary 1840 so much!!!
Thank you Katie!!!! I appreciate your comments and support so very very much❤️. It has been fun creating this fictional character. It somehow makes the textiles from 1870 come to life !
As always, another relaxing, calming video filled with interesting content about stitching in the past. Can’t wait until your next one and to see what you come up with next! ❤🧵✂️🪡
Thanks for your videos, Susan. Diversion from surviving EF1 tornado, no electricity or home damage. My nerves can take so much but so blessed. From Louisiana.
Oh my goodness what an ordeal you have experienced and I’m so pleased you can find some peace and calm through floss tube. Stay safe in Louisiana and please check back with me and let me know how you’re doing.
Susan, your videos are just wonderful. You are a great storyteller and I appreciate all of the research you have done and are sharing with us. I love your adaptation of the old Scot-I actually like yours better than the original. I am interested in a tin hexie. I am excited that you are expecting the scissors in the near future and I look forward to receiving mine. Yes, please continue the stitch stories-you are a natural at telling us the stories of a time long ago. I can just picture Corless with her aunt and all of the things she is about to learn. Thank you Susan-you are a delight! It's 2:30 am, but when I saw that you had a video up, I had to watch. Pam Miller
Thank you so much, Pam! I love knowing that you are up in the wee hours watching floss tube😳 thank you so much for the feedback. It really helps me plan for the future.
Thanks you Susan, I can't believe I've just found you through the floss tube world. I loved this story and all that you shared. Thank you. I'm a quilter, EPPer and back to the cross stitch community living in Gig Harbor, WA.
Oh how exciting!!!! Welcome to my channel. I look forward to hearing from you and learning about your stitching journey !!! Perhaps we will run into each other at Acorn and Threads😍
Yes, Susan! I would love to learn as much as you are able to share! Thank you for the time and energy you are investing into the research for your videos! I am thoroughly enjoying your presentation of this current stitching journey of these girls. 🪡🧵🥰
Susan I just love to see your videos. Oh yes I would love to purchase a tin hexie. And yes, any stories I cherish hearing, always so fun, interesting and love learning about the different eras. Thank you for always sharing and teaching, I appreciate it.
Thank so much for watching and commenting! I think it makes our work meaningful when we can attach it to people from the past even if they are historical fiction😊
Thank you so much. I am sort of local to you , from West Virginia, am a novice stitcher, but interested in locally made samplers and stitching. Your floss tube helps me learn where to start.
Hi there and welcome. I’m so happy to meet you and I’m thrilled you find inspiration for projects on this channel. I would love to hear about what you are working on and what you find inspiring
Aw, thank you so much, Grace! You would have both of these pieces done by now I know, but I am enjoying the process so very very much and playing with the colors has been a joy. I’m so happy you were joining me today at the wee hours of the morning from what it looks like, lol have a wonderful weekend, my friend
I love hearing about Corelis. I’m in Georgetown KY. This is the first time I’ve watched, you popped up in my feed. I’ve got my supplies for English Paper piecing, but haven’t started , I would love one tin Hexies. I need to find more about Marking Samplers. I do cross stitch as well.
I am so thrilled to know someone in Kentucky! I look forward to hearing from you and learning more details about this amazing state. Studying this history has made me want to visit Kentucky and see all its beauty. I’m so delighted you are participating and I hope you find English paper piecing fun and enjoyable!!!
Hi Susan, I so enjoy your sweet craft/stitching videos. The history is so interesting. I think you mentioned looking for some KY patterns. I don’t know if you have run across this in your research, but Shaker Village in Pleasant Hill, KY (between Harrodsburg & Danville) have shown a couple of classes/programs about cross stitch this year. I haven’t spent a lot of time exploring it, but it sounds so interesting and thought I would pass that along to you. It looked like there may be some antique samplers, but didn’t have success coming up with any patterns. I am out side of Louisville, am not the best, but I try quilting, EPP, cross stitch, embroidery and crocheting. Thank you for your Floss Tubes and all the other goodness you add to it. All the best! Sheila. PS I also found a website that is “Antique Kentucky Samplers” that might be of interest in your exploring.
Oh Sheila, thank you so much for your message and kind comment. I am delighted to know someone who has some ideas about Kentucky. I have not run across the place that you were mentioning but I am definitely going to look into it! I’m so glad to know you like to keep your fingers busy with everything including cross stitching and quilting. I find it irresistible! Thank you so much for joining me today, I enjoyed hearing from you so much.
You are so welcome! Thank you for listening in and I’m excited at the interest in the Tin template. I am working on finding a way to produce them so that everyone can have one.
Thank you! You most definitely inspire me! There are so many new things I want to start, but I’m trying really hard to stay focused on these few projects and make significant progress. Have a lovely weekend.
Love your work on the full coverage. What count are you stitching on? Oh and your right! My dad was born in 1929 and he was telling me just recently that he has a picture of himself and he is around two or three and he’s in a dress.
Hello. I’m so glad you asked that question. I’m Stitching on 37 count Legacy linen corkscrew willow. I find that linen to be very consistent with the thread width. I didn’t go to a higher count because of all the over one and I’m so glad! It is tight enough on 37 count.❤️
I just love your EPP piece! If you have not been following Margaret Mew, I would suggest you look into her reproduction and personal EPP quilts. She has some lovely books published by Quiltmania. Blessings
Hello Susan. I really enjoyed your show today. I want to tell you that I really liked that quilt you are starting. The one with the sinner and you are changing it around to make it your own. If you ever have some thing of that sort That you would offer as a block of the month or however you wanted to handle it. I’m all in. I would call myself a seasoned Quilter. Not as good as you by any mean, but I really truly love looking at your quilts looking at your cross stitch and listening to you share about textiles. I do it in increments. But when I saw that hexagon with the center in it, oh I just fell in love with that. And I decided to tell you if you do this, I would be more than happy to get it from you however, you offered it a block of the month or whatever, I would like to have it because it talks to me and learning about the little girls who live back in the day is also very interesting. And I like the way you break it up into different parts so that we are not overloaded with so much information on how people did things back in the day. It helps me retain it better I think, but I just wanted to share this with you and hopefully you continue doing these things because it’s very nice. You are truly gifted and your ability to quilt and Crosstitch.
Thank you so very much for your lovely heartfelt comment. I would love to offer some of your suggestions, and I will definitely take them under consideration!!! I appreciate you taking the time to comment. It means so very much to me to me!!! I am excited to have you joining me on the stitching journey of Corliss and the other fictional girls I have created.
Oh goodness, I’m so excited. You would like a Tin template! I’m going to see how much interest there is in having these made. I Will most definitely make announcements on all my social media platforms when and if they are available! Thank you so much for watching and for your support and interest❤
Susan...you are a great teacher of history for all of us...thanks❤
Thank you so much. Happy to have you here today
Susan, you have done such a wonderful job creating Corliss's story. I really enjoyed listening as I sewed this afternoon. And those examples of the day robes are STUNNING! It's crazy to think they never saw the light of day outside of a home.
Thank you for joining me!!!! I feel the same way about the tea dresses. The fabrics are fantastic and I would gladly wear them anywhere!!!
Dear Susan, I love your videos and I absolutely hang onto every word of the history stories. Yes please do tell us more.
Thank you so much for your comment and encouragement!!! I look forward to sharing more!
