Love watching your flosstube. You have such amazing projects. I’m a quilter, so love seeing your quilts also
Just finished watching your latest floss tube while stitching in a rocking chair that has been in the family over 100 years. I moved the chair from our beroom to the den, because honestly, I find it the most comfortable of all the chairs we own. Great back support. I watched this video while my pumpkin bundt cake was cooling . I am in charge of dessert for our quilting bee tomorrow. I like seeing WIP parades and kit parades. Have fun college hunting. Our second granddaughter is a junior this year and I was invited to go along to visit some colleges this fall. I very much enjoyed that time with our oldest granddaughter who is now a freshman at Dickinson college.
You two have a great floss tube! I enjoy hearing the answers to your questions! To easily place magnets on a board, glue the magnets to the board first, then set magnets on those and put glue on the top of those. Set your stitched piece on top. Leave everything in place for the glue to dry thoroughly. You can then separate the pieces. When you want to attach a different piece, place a new set of magnets on top of the board magnets, put glue on top of those, and set your new piece on top and let dry.
This is my favorite time for stitching!! Totally enjoy your flosstube. Love when the pumpkins hit the stores.
I stitch at a table in my craft room because I use a tabletop stand my husband made me. I have my light, magnifier and tv all set up to stitch and watch Flosstube! Congratulations on 60 episodes!!
Carol and Jennifer!!! Greetings from Dallas!! It’s always such a joy to get your flosstubes!! You two are seriously one of my favorite flosstubers! I stitch in my living room on the sofa. I have an end table next to the sofa where I set all my supplies so it’s very convenient. Pumpkin. Thanks so much for all you two do!! Hugs!!! ❤️
Hi Carol and Jen. Thank you for the fun update and for showing some older pieces - I always enjoy those 😊. Congratulations on your finishes and FFOs! Even though I'm not too good at it yet, I do love to quilt. And yes, please, to a parade of any description. Also love stitch with me videos.⚘️
I stitch on an office chair at the dining table (with a foot stool under the table). Lots of space, good light during the day, and a power point for my magnifying light at night.
Another great video ladies. I love your laughs. It was so fun to see your beautiful finishes. Purple, hands, Lizzie, quilt, snow
Thank you for another great video. I love watching you both and congratulations on 60 episodes. That quilt is stunning. The colours are so bright and go together beautifully. I have so many projects that need finishing. You both have stunning projects and finishes. I have a recliner in the lounge that I stitch in while watching TH-cam with my earbuds in! But on holiday I stitch anywhere and am lucky I can stitch in the car, on a boat, in a plane etc etc. Thanks again.
Love visiting with you two...thank you for all you shared...I stitch any where my light and magnifier willl pug in...your quilt is beautiful...would love to see your kitted projects for cross stitch and quilts...best wishes ❤
I love the 18 yr old tree in the pillow. Liked seeing your stitching. I am getting back into quilting, it’s nice seeing what you both do. Thank you for sharing. Snow, quilt, Lizzie, hands, purple
Love the fireworks quilt. Thanks for sharing about your sister/aunt.
I don't quilt myself but love to crossstitch quilts. Beautiful finishes this episode.
I love to stitch fall. Anything with a pumpkin. Also like fall themed quilts.
Thanks for another fun video! Lizzie loves the snow!
I enjoy your FT so much, but I usually forget to comment- so here’s my comment this time! All of your FFO’s are beautiful and very motivating to me. I need to get my box of FO’s out and turn them into FFO’s. My favorite spot to stitch is at our island in the kitchen. I stitch in hand and so I love to have a desk or other surface to rest my elbows on. 2nd place is on the couch with a lap desk. I use a light/ mag and on the couch I end up with too much on my lap though 😏. Sometimes I stitch in our backyard. Never in bed. On vacation, i love it if our hotel room has a desk- that becomes my stitchy spot. Have a wonderful few weeks and hapoy stitching!
Lovely to see you again!
I always start to answer your question and then get insecure and delete it, and when you talk about the answers I'm sad I didn't answer 😂😅
I stitch mostly on my couch, I have a lot of pain so I have to sit in a very specific way and not forget anything and get up because it takes a while to get seated. But my boyfriend is very kind and brings me the things I forgot because he thinks I look too cozy in my "little nest" 😊
Your fireworks quilt looks amazing 🤩. Lizzie probably loves walks in the snow ❄️
Lizzie cleans out her pumpkin with her hands in the snow.
My favorite place to sit and stitch is at a table at a retreat. The most comfortable place to sit and stitch is my recliner, which I do daily.
I love kit parades!! I like to sit and stitch at my desk in my home office. I like that I can easily get up to take care of something and everything (stand, light, tools, floss, stitching, etc) stays in it's place and I can pick right back up where I left off. I also stitch at my cutting table in my sewing room or the dining table at my mom's house. I'm afraid my adorable, but naughty dog would take off with my stitchy stuff if I had it on or near the sofa. Lizzie snow quilt
So excited when I see you have another flosstube up. I usually sit in my sewing room in front of my large screen TV watching you and others. I sewed costumes for years for our local playhouse the last one I sewed was for the Tinman, as I recall it had 70 something pieces and was a metallic stiff fabric. It was in the middle of July and the first night the air conditioner broke down, the fabric did not breath ,felt so bad for the Tinman. Lizzie Kate is on the top 3 designers I love, and Fall and winter snow patterns are some of my favorites. By the way I completed Weekend in Paris, you were the enabler, it is for a friend's birthday coming up. I will NEVER do another Dimension chart. Grrrr. Hugs to you both.
Hello lovely ladies, it's always a pleasure watching your channel and see all the beautiful stitching, sewing and knitting. I stitch 90 % in my family room sitting on a fabric rocker with a portable tv stand in front of me. Happy stitching! Lori
Hi ladies, great video. My favorite color is purple 💜 also. Jen, you are not alone. My stitching spot is the loving room recliner.
Love watching your flosstubes. I like pumpkin pie. I don’t really like snow. I stich in a recliner watching tv.
Love your videos. I stitch in my recliner with one or two of my fur babies beside me!snow, purple,hands, and lizzie
Hi Carol and Jennifer, 👋👋 another great video 👏🥂👏. First, what a beautiful remembrance for your aunt/sister. 💜 I'm giving her a flosstube purple heart. I definitely think you should do a kit parade. Lizzie might show up holding her pumpkin latte in her hands. All the rain you got came over to Dayton but missed exactly where I live. I'm afraid at this rate it will all be snow by the time we get any precipitation. Carol, your quilt is beautiful. Happy Stitching and Quilting. ❤❤❤
I love to sit on the screened in porch to do my stitching. I love the lizzie purple hands right next to the pumpkin snow. Happy stitching. Love finishes from days past. 😊
You guys are so fun! It was hilarious to see Jen get all excited to see that you bought The Primrose Cottage smalls book! lol I love Pumpkin pie so much. One of my favorite for the season AND year. I also love to Quilt. Those are gorgeous.
I usually like to stitch in my lazy boy chair in the living room. Then l can still watch a movie or tv. Sometime l do go outside and stitch in the shade if it's a beautiful day.
Congratulations , I think I've watched every episode. Will soon be time to put my pumpkin stitching out ! Thanks.
Nice to see you ! Lizzie has purple pumpkin quilts winter hands
Oh my gosh, Jennifer!!!! You beaded Christmas tree pillow is adorable!!!
Lizzie-hands-snow-enjoyed the video-I stitch in my craft room
So glad to see your video show up tonight. I just finished a scrappy quilt tonight. The front has been done for a few weeks, but I'm making a "Frankenstein" backing to use up all the scraps from the front. I just about gave up on it, but did persevere. So it's ready to be quilted.
My stitching spot is in my living room recliner. I have a whole "nest" surrounding me with all the essentials.
Thanks for a great video!
Another fun Flosstube!! Jen you asked for a suggestion on how to attach magnets. Keep the magnets together, put glue one end, then attach it to one of the boards. Leave the magnets together and put glue on the other end of the magnets and attach it to the other board. The only thing that might be a little difficult is to center the two boards. I hope that makes sense and that it works for you. Carol, I love your quilt!
Just went to Shipshe this week end and the pumpkins and mums where beautiful, but we know what’s next that white stuff. SNOW!!!!!
Wonderful video ladies. We have a reclining love seat that I like to sit to stitch on. I do cover both cushions with an oversized bath towel to catch orts that miss the ort jar and keep my floss and scissors from falling between the cushions.
My stitching nest is in our living room. My la-z-boy chair, table light & one or two kitties sitting by my feet. Hubby is reading or solitar for him.. no tv for us till SNOW is falling! Love you gals 💕
I have a purple quilt that my grandmother I love it.
Yay! I am a fellow grammar police. I have realized that people rarely use adverbs anymore 😓, I love the quilts in your background as well as your cross stitch projects. Happy Autumn!🍂🍁🍎🍏
A kit parade would be fun! I have two stitchy spots. I have a large east-facing picture window in my dining room that I like to sit at in the mornings because it is great light. Afternoons and evenings I have a really comfortable chair and a good LED light in the family room, and I stitch and watch tv with the hubby. We're both retired and his favorite hobby is napping in the recliner while I stitch 🤣
Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow!!!
Yes, please show us your kitted projects! I sit right in front of the tv in a recliner with my dog in my lap 😊 n my supplies on the side of me. I’m in Texas so I don’t expect any snow but I will be enjoying all the pumpkin I can w my friend Lizzie!
I just bought that same Sunflower pattern, so cute.
I have a wide chair in our livingroom that I sit to stitch and the dogs can sit next to me and not sit on my lap. I have a table that holds my floss box, my phone, a drink, the remote for the TV and other things I need to stitch. I clamp my maglight to the edge of the table so I can see. 😊
I kit my projects up as I get the materials together and put the projects in a really useful tote with a lid so keep them dog glitter free. I highlight the project in purple in my notion app to indicate that it's kitted up. I organize my box and app then with icons including a pumpkin, snow flakes,. I stitch in a recliner with either a qsnap or scroll rod set
I love Bonnie and Madison! So sweet and talented. I have a chair to stitch. I have a little table and a three tier cart right there.
To line up magnets. Glue magnets onto the back of your stitching. Then attach the mate of the magnets you have already glued in place. Now put glue on the mated magnet, with the 2 still joined. Now place your stitched piece on your framing board.
Great video as usual!! I saw a purple pumpkin with quilt like hands in the snow. 🤣
Jennifer, when using the magnet attachment just glue your magnet down where you would like it. Then when that is dry, attach the opposing magnet, or washer, put glue on the side facing you and then apply your finished piece. I push down gently and let sit for a few days. I put a towel on top of the piece and a book on top of the towel. When you're ready gently use a little pressure, to remove the stitched piece, until the magnet or washer releases from opposing magnet. I know I was stumped at first too.! My favorite place to sew and cross stitch is in my sewing room. I sit on my sewing chair at a table facing the tv to do my stitching. Happy Fall!
Beautiful finishes ladies! I'm glad the tennis season is going well!
I stitch in my chair in the living room or on my deck have my lights by me and ear phones so I can listen to you tube like I am doing right now.
I stitch while sitting in my recliner chair. I have a floor light to my left.
Imagine if Lizzie had some snow on her pumpkin quilt. 😊
I stitch in my bedroom and I love pumpkins and Lizzie kate
I Kit-Up a bunch every weekend, so YES, a Kit Parade would be fun. Maybe a question to ask, Do you have kitted Ups in stages? Fully Kitted, Needs Fabric, missing a couple Floss skeins, like purple. If you glue the magnets to your board, then put a washer onto it, add a tiny bit of glue to washer, then plop your stitched piece down. Let dry OR in reverse, washer glued onto piece, once dried add magnet then glue it to board. Make sure the washer will work with a magnet, some are not magnetic. That white charm will work, snow color. I stitch either in my craft room or TV room sitting in a chair, occasionally out on our patio.
I have a stitchy chair with all my lights, frames, projects etc around me in the living room. If it's nice, I'll take something outside in the yard. During the day, if I can stitch during meetings, in front of my computer 🤫
I stitch in our family room on the reclining sofa. It is the only place in the house that has good lighting. Snow, I hope we get some this coming winter.
The Daisy Barrel is where my cross stitch journey began! It was actually in Fairborn, just east of Dayton, and I was so sad that it closed. I have two stitching places. Downstairs in a recliner in the family room and upstairs in my sewing room (the Tower) in a less than comfortable chair.
Another great video! It is Flosstube’s fault.😂 Give me decent lighting and I will stitch anywhere! I have a chair, both upstairs and downstairs that I will stitch while watching TV with my husband. On nice days I stitch on our porch where I can enjoy living on a lake. This summer has been way too hot for that, though. Enjoy your time looking for the right college for your son.
I stitch in the living room sitting, legs stretched out on the love seat. I watch floss tube on the laptop while my husband watches tv. He calls it my cocoon. I saw in a comment that y"all owned the cross stitch shop Persnikety. I thought Carol just worked at the store. Lizzie quilt
When attaching magnets - if you stick them together and attach them to one of the surfaces (keep magnets together), let them dry (still with magnets together) and then apply the glue to the other magnet and attach them to the second surface they will be aligned,
Purple, pumpkin, hands, quilt, snow. I have a theory why your flosstube may not be getting alot of views. You are at the bottom of my subscription list so in order to give everyone equal viewing I’ve started scrolling to the bottom half way through so I wouldn’t miss anything from all of the T,s and S,s at the bottom of the list. It seemed like by the time I got half way through, the ones I’d just watched were already posting a new video!
I stitch in my recliner in front of the tv. Congratulations on reaching the big 6 0!
I would enjoy seeing a Kit parade definitely.
Congratulations on your 60th episode 🎉🎉🎉
Pumpkin
I stitch in my Stressless chair in my living room.
If I'm going somewhere where I'll sit, I will bring a project or two..
I stitch in hand, so I don't need a lot of space.
You have both been busy. Lovely WIPs and finishes. I stitch in a very comfortable office chair at a former kitchen (now craft room) table. I like having a spot for the lamp, chart and other things you need, sitting at close proximity. I like Lizzie charts a lot for their size and cute designs. And I know snow is inevitable, but do we have to wish for it already?? I would rather not. Have a great sewing retreat and see you soon.
I like Sullivan's better. It's cheaper and doesn't tangle/knot like DMC. But I've only seen it at Everything Crossstitch and their shipping is high. Thanks for addressing my question about kits. I'm sure I didn't miss that episode, but as Carol says, I've slept since then. :) Pumpkin, hands, snow. My favorite place to stitch is my bed. My dog has enough room to be comfortable because if she's not touching me, she's not happy I have south-facing windows right behind me for great light and my feet are elevated.
Lizzie loves to hold snow in her hands! So do I! Lol
Currently, I've lost my stitching mojo, but when I DO stitch I am on the sofa in our family room. I stitch at night when we're watching something on TV before bed.
I would love to see a WIP parade.
So, when is a kit no longer a kit? Jennifer, you said you started one you had, so it would not be in a kit parade. So, when is a kit no longer a kit? I'd say it is a kit until it is completely stitched. But what do I know? Thanks for the fun and lovely floss tube! Some stitch at their desk so they can also watch floss tube on the computer while they stitch. It would be lovely to stitch outside with a light breeze so the bugs stay away!
Always live your channel. We go snow in our mountains this past weekend. Yes to kit parade and I’m tall also and wonder how tall you both are
Kit parade please!
Kit parade please! I really enjoy stitching on my lanai when it’s not too freaking hot 🥵 .
My primary stitching spot is in my recliner in the family room, but my dog likes to go to bed at 7 pm, so I finish the day stitching in bed. I thought of a viewers’ question for the future based on something Jennifer said. Do you stitch your initials in finished projects or otherwise mark them? I don’t do initials, unless it’s charted for them, but I write all the details of the project on a library card and attach it to the back of framed pieces.
I mount my washer place the magnet on the washer place my glue and quickly lay my stitched piece backside to the magnet and press down with my hands or place a book on it.
🐴🐴🐴
😃😃
I stitch in a recliner while I'm watching TV. What did your shirt say? Lizzi had to pick up the pumpkin with two hands since it was in the snow, afterwards she went into the house and bundled up with a quilt to get her warm.
Would really like to stitch your Holiday Wishes charts but where can they be purchased. They are so cute.❤
Hi Ladies. Love your channel- always something to laugh about! I was wondering what the name of your shop is. Have a great day
Wth the quilting, do you ever do curved blocks…drunkards path blocks? I have a recliner I stitch in…the coffee table is covered in wips to pick from. 🦉🧵🪡🌻
