It's always so nice to see both of you! I get such a thrill out of seeing your finishes and the things you are working on! Cathy, that bunny is too cute for words! Your quilt is fabulous Nancy! The retreat sounds amazing! Thanks as always and happy stitching!
Great to see you both! Thank you so much for the shout out! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the strawberry stitches, some I've stitched and some now on my list! So thankful Amber is doing well. The Quilter's Station Retreat sounds wonderful. Thank you for a wonderful video that always inspires my creativity and stitching! Hugs and Happy Stitching! 🧵
I'm not a math whiz, but I've been using the formula to calculate the diameter of a circle all my life for sewing projects and I'm now 75. I think it was in 8th grade math that I learned how to calculate the circumference of a circle. Remember 2 pi r ? (2 x 3.14 x the radius) equals the circumference. That also reads as (3.14 x 2 x the radius), 2 x the radius is the diameter, you can change the formula to read (3.14 x D) equals the circumference. If you divide the length of your piece (which will be the circumference when it's sewn together) by pi, you get the diameter. Most every calculator has a pi button so it's simple to measure the length of the piece stopping and starting at the seam line, put that number in your calculator, hit the divide button and then the pi button, and then the = sign, you'll get the width (diameter) of your circle for the top and bottom. edit to add: if you open the calculator on your phone, you have to turn it sideways to get the version that has the pi button.
Love all the strawberry 🍓 charts! I'm stitching Summer Strawberries while watching this flosstube. Lori Holt has a couple cute strawberry patterns on her stitch cards.
Another amazing video Ladies, I had to order Making Marmalade so adorable thank you Kathy! Nancy you get so much completed, love everything you do! You both have a fabulous variety of projects! Thank you so much for your time spent with all of us!!!!! Never knew that about needles, great tip😉
Loved all the strawberries…Strawberry Fields Forever…Liz at Elizabeth can Stitch made some color changes on the vase and fence…she substituted some beige shades and it looked very nice…you two can really stitch so much…loved everything you shared…best wishes and happy stitching ❤❤
I love everything you made and are working on. Such a pleasure to visit with you. I love Marmalade and I'm so tempted but...I made a hand puppet once called Miss Kitty. She was a beautiful white cat. but I took a wrong stitch somewhere on her face and instead of a smile she had quite a snarl. We loved her though. In spite of such a bad attitude. LOL
Cathy the Stacy Nash needle book came out great, I love it. Nancy your embroidery is beautiful, I too love Meg's work and have so many of her patterns. Look forward to your videos, keep up the good work.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing all of your work. Look forward to seeing the craft room tours because I am trying to reorganize mine & need ideas. Would love to see the miniature bears that you made Cathy. 🇨🇦
Hi Ladies... Nice to see you and I adore seeing all you projects. Thank you for sharing. Your pattern called Panier de Fraises means Basket of Strawberries. Have fun stitching
You both amaze me by how much you get done. Your work is beautiful and you have such a variety of needlework. I’ve watched other FlossTubers share their experiences at the retreat and everyone says the same complimentary things about it. They have all mentioned how quickly the three hour talk by the one designer went and how informative it was. Thanks for sharing!
Nancy - I don't know if anyone thought of this, but at first your daughter could ask someone to place the babies in her arms when she is sitting down rather than lifting them herself. Panier de fraises is Basket of strawberries.
One word for you two ! CREATIVE ! LOVE seeing all types of projects. I love doing different things also. Nancy uses AIDA YEA ! All of us can' afford or see linen. I' ve dyed aida , it's fun and turned out beautiful ! So glad we can hear you now ! Your much better with voices ! The strawberry with the bunny was the BEST. ☆☆☆☆☆
Love Strawberry season! Kathy i noticed right away your hair! Did you get a perm? A retreat, lucky you 💞 Your bunny book is charming. One of my favorite teachers was Mrs. Clark , grade 5 . Her daughters name was Susan , Ontario Canada Its very cool to learn how needles are made. Nancy i started wondering if you kept a journal but you answered that question lol Your 20year old Autumn Hill quilt is gorgeous cant wait to see the final picture. Kathy your always so gracious in commenting on Nancy's work. Its now past Mothers day when im seeing this but hope you both had nice relaxing ones. 💗
PS - my hair has gotten so curly in the last couple years I decided it would be easier to handle shorter. I keep thinking I look like an old lady with a perm! Maybe I should dye it blue 🤣🤣
Delightful, as usual, Cathy and Nancy! Your tips about how to make a drum were great, Cathy. You made it sound fairly easy. Glad your enjoyed your retreat. It sounded wonderful. BTW, in the future, please let us know what you used to make the whiskers on the beautiful finished bunnies you showed us today. My next project has bunnies. :-D
Thanks for sharing all of your lovely things. I wonder if you use antiquing spray on the needle book that is showing the glue - you might be able to grunge up the edges enough to blend in the glue spots?
Nancy, I have a question regarding quarter stitches on Aida. You said on a previous video that when they are on the edges you fudge them. What do you do when they are in the middle of the design. Like a quarter stitch of one color and a quarter stitch of another color in the same block. Love all your strawberry projects.
I so enjoy your video ladies, such wonderful eye candy! Love all of the strawberries, a perfect summer year stitch. Nancy, it’s wonderful to hear that your daughter is doing so well, what a relief. Cathy, your retreat sounds like it was such fun. It’s good to change it up every now and then. Laughter among friends is the best! Happy Mother’s Day!
On your grandmother's house that you are working on could you please tell me what shade basically you would say the color is close to? I know you dyed it but I'm gonna start my chart and want to get a fabric close to your color....it looks great on that I bought the called for and don't like how dark it is...did you use Rit Dye and what color.....you guys do beautiful work and I love seeing everything you guys do....tysm for sharing
Hi Barbara, I know I for sure used evening blue. I think I also added in taupe and if I did it was three parts evening blue and one part taupe. I only leave the fabric in the dye a couple of minutes then rinse it. If I want it darker then I will put it back into the dye and repeat the process. It does lighten up a little when it dries ~Nancy
I don't do my own quilting, I have a fantastic long armer in my town that does it for me. I will quilt smaller things like table toppers or runners on my domestic machine but I don't do anything fancy, just straight stitching ~Nancy

Hi Sharon! I use Button and Craft thread that I run over some beeswax until it’s stiff then pull it through their noses for whiskers. 😊
@@sewnsews6389 Thank you for the tip about how you make bunny whiskers, Cathy!!! :-D

Thanks for sharing all of your lovely things. I wonder if you use antiquing spray on the needle book that is showing the glue - you might be able to grunge up the edges enough to blend in the glue spots?
Good idea! I’ll try it!

Like a quarter stitch of one color and a quarter stitch of another color in the same block. Love all your strawberry projects.
Personally, I eyeball the stitch - piercing the fabric to complete the quarter stitch, Iris.

Your TraLaLa strawberry pattern translate to “Strawberry Basket”
Hi girls ❤
Nancy, do you do your own quilting?
I don't do my own quilting, I have a fantastic long armer in my town that does it for me. I will quilt smaller things like table toppers or runners on my domestic machine but I don't do anything fancy, just straight stitching ~Nancy
Panier=basket
Can I ask if there is any over one stitching in With Needle & Thread by Samplers Not Forgotten? I stitch on Aida. Thank you,
I don't think there is, I haven't come across any one over one yet
Panier de fraise strawberry basket
Where and how will you display the embroidery quilt?
I haven't gotten that far yet lol. I will probably hang it over one of my quilt ladders ~Nancy
Hi ladies-Kathy, could you tell me who did the pattern for the bunny on the strawberry pincushion? I couldn’t find it….. thanks!
Hi! The pattern is by Lori Corelis and she has a website. She also goes by The Spotted Hare.
@@sewnsews6389 thank you so much for your speedy response! 😄
There must be a better place for the microphone, otherwise I enjoyed seeing your projects.
So entertaining to watch both of you☺. We sent you an email, please check it out.
