What I really enjoyed was Kay’s independent spirit about her stitching. She stitches with DMC and uses a small plastic hoop and that works for her. Her work is really beautiful and so many times we hear about needing a lot of fancy floss and frames and various other expensive accessories to stitch. You really only need a piece of ground cloth, threads, and a needle.
Thank you Valerie for the idea of taking us for a tour and many, many thanks, Kay for letting us into your home to show you such beautiful samplers. You are a treasure!
This was amazing...I had to stop stitching so I wouldn’t miss anything. And it’s a video I will rewatch because I know I’ll see something new every time. Thank you. Blessings, Marlene
What a beautiful home full of so many treasures. I truly enjoyed seeing every single sampler, and all that Redware... I am afraid I could never leave Kay's home!! Thanks for sharing it with us!
I agree! They would have to drag me away from there but Kay and Bob are very forward thinking, cheerful people that approach each new adventure in life with joy.
I have just found this posting and LOVED seeing this woman's incredible works of art. She is a treasure! Thanks for visiting with her and sharing her work with us.
Wow Simply incredible. What a treasured neighbor you have! I loved Kay and her stitching and her redware WOW! I think one thing that really got my attention and now will go read about is the flax to linen and she had some to show, of course hehe I enjoyed this so much! PLEASE show her these comments!! I could watch and listened to her for hours and hours! What a treasure to cross stitch community. mini hugs Jennifer
I will! I printed out the first day of comments to show her, but many more people have said how much they enjoyed visiting with her so I will be sure to let her see those too! Glad you came along for the ride!
I sew enjoyed watching your video of Kay's home. I wish there was more to see! Thanks so much for taking the time & sharing your neighbors wonderful home along with her beautiful samplers & redware. I hope you can someday visit again!!! ThankYou, Tammy
I happened upon this interview only by seeing the title - Samplers and Redware. This was such a treat. The house is my dream house with the beams, antiques, reproduction furniture, samplers and the redware. Thank you so much for the chance to see so many lovely things and please thank Kay for sharing her home and talents. I would love to have a piece of her redware.
Thanks so much for this video, Valerie!!! I loved every minute of it and thanks to Kay for allowing us to visit her and see all of her beautiful samplers!!! It made my friend Holly and I want to stitch all of them; her Redware is exquisite as well!!! Thanks again, Valerie!!! Linda
This tour was truly amazing...thx so much to you Valerie for taking the time to record this and also to you Kay for allowing us the privilege of seeing your lovely home, awesome cross stitch pieces as well as your wonderful pottery...absolutely stunning...until next time, take care, Kathy
This was fantastic! I was totally lost in the video with your neighbor. Just in awe. Thought I was watching a PBS show. Thank her so much for allowing us to visit her home and see all those amazing samplers and her redware. Thank you again.
This was such a nice video. Such lovely talent. Please by sure and pass along our appreciation to the Sheaffs for opening their home to us and thank you, Vickie for taking the time to record and share.
Thank you so much for sharing Kay’s lovely home, her awesome samplers, and red ware. This video will be marked as one of my favorites. I will enjoy watching it again and again. What an inspiration she is to cross stitching!
Valerie, I watched this entire video with my mouth hanging open, gobsmacked by the incredible samplers & redware loveliness. What a delightful hour spent with the two of you. This will go down as one of my most favorite videos ever! A lesson in the history of samplers, how the flax was processed (incredibly labor intensive,) the framing done by her husband, the whole thing was superb. Thank you so much for taking us along and many thanks to Kay for her hospitality. I'm still reeling from this video, so I'm off to watch it again.
@@valerie-stitchinginthebarn723 No, not in the UK, right here in the good old USA. I love the descriptive words the British use like gobsmacked, paints the best picture, doesn't it?
Oh my goodness. I've watched this over ten times already!! Valerie, thank you! You are a charming lady and did a fabulous job. I adore Kay's work and her stories. I am a reproduction sampler stitcher exclusively, and my focus is Scarlet Letter and The Essamplaire, so I have either stitched, am stitching, or have kitted all of those samplers that she showed of the two designers. Just fascinating, beautiful, and inspiring. You are a sweetie for doing this. Please tell Kay thank you for allowing us to peek into her world. Best floss tube video, ever!!💖
Wow Robin, that's high praise. Thank you. I'll bet you could do a video of your samplers! Sounds like you have a great collection, too. I'll be sure to tell Kay that you enjoyed it!
Well, I finally got back to watching this video and it is truly fantastic; one that I will need to watch again to take it all in. I was surprised to see the sampler stitched on black since I had stitched this sampler years ago for my best friend; she has it still hanging in her home, and I still love it. Thank you to Kay and to you for sharing of your time and talents, it was so enjoyable.
That was amazing! What a lovely tour and conversation with Kay. Many many beautiful things. I wish them well on their move and hope they will be happy. Thanks for taking us along.
Valerie, It has been such a joy to watch all of your videos. As I'm sure others have already said, you are doing fantastic! I want to come and join the cross stitch bus tour! Sounds like it's loads of fun and the all you can eat place has my mouth watering. We seem to have very similar interest in stitching as well as quilting. I too have been bitten by the Sue Spargo bug. I have one top complete and another full BOM kit totally untouched. Please pass on my many thanks to Kay for sharing her beautiful Redware and lovely samplers with us. Until next time, Happy Stitching! Suzette x
I think this is my all-time favourite flosstube video! Thank you so much for taking us to Kay’s house & sharing all of these gorgeous samplers! My wish list has grown substantially & my love for samplers too ❤️
Amazing. Thank you and Kay for sharing all her beautiful work. I have binged watch all your video and they sure are a delight. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you and Kay both for the beautiful and informative tour of her home, samplers and red ware. I will have to watch this again to try and take it all in. ❤️
Wow! I loved the tour of Kay's home and getting to see all of her beautiful samplers! She is a very interesting lady and oh so talented. Thank you for sharing her with all of us. Pam in Alabama
oh my, what a trip you took us on. please , are there more friends you would like to share their work with us? thank you Kay for having us in your home. thanks to you Valerie, again for one of a kind video..
Hi, Valerie! Greetings from Louisiana! I have to agree with all the previous commenters! This video was absolutely fascinating, and I so enjoyed seeing and learning about Redware and all the beautiful samplers in Kay’s home! How wonderful that you both have shared this with us! Thank you both, so much, for this opportunity. I especially loved seeing “Cornwallis” and Washington on Blueskin that you own from Kay’s pieces...what treasures! Now that I’ve discovered your channel, I look forward to going back and viewing your earlier videos and catching up! Until next time, happy stitching! 🧵♥️ Meline
What a wonderful video and so loved hearing both of you and the wealth of knowledge from Kay. Exciting and I had to go watch it a second time to recall all the information. I hope Kay will let us visit her sometime again in the future. Thanks so much for being on floss tube. I recently discovered you when Carol, Salt Box Stitcher, talked about both of you on her last video and will look forward to seeing you again soon. Norma in Boise, ID
I was listening to all her stories but my eyes were on all of her baskets! Oh my word and the furniture mind boggling! Thank you for the treat of bring us to Ms. Kay home. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
What a wonderful conversation and talented lady.you are good at interviewing. I loved seeing her house!! I’m a New Englander Marylander now living in the intermountain west. I sometimes yearn to see eastern historical houses, furniture, crafts and landscapes. Thanks so much.
I learned so much about samplers & redware pottery. I never knew such a thing existed! Kay was really interesting to listen to! Thanks for sharing your visit with her!
Thank you for sharing this. What a beautiful home and incredible work. I live in a cottage in the UK which was built in the early 1700's - tiny but adorable. My favourite store in the US is Country Treasures and I always bring back far too much stuff to cram into my tiny home - absolutely adore everything in this lovely lady's home and all of her and her husband's beautiful. I have stitched a lot of samplers etc and apart from one, they are all in a bag. Really must put them on the wall somewhere.
Oh my goodness, Valerie! What an incredible treat! Kaye and her husband are so very talented and their home is just beautiful-I want to live in every room! I know that I will be watching this episode of your FT many times over just to be sure I didn’t miss anything. I am so happy that you have some of her beautiful works of art. Thank you so much!
I’m so glad I found your channel. Kay’s stitching is just lovely and thank you for sharing her beautiful home and wonderful crafts. I was surprised when Kay mentioned The Strawberry Sampler, as that is also my LNS! I’m located in Swarthmore, PA. I’m now going to binge watch your previous videos.
Heavens to Elizabeth...I thought I had died and gone to Sampler Heaven. I started stitching about the same time as Kay and have lined a wall or two since, but could neverhope to achieve the volume Kay has. When does that lovely lady sleep. The Samplers andRedware and artifacts produced by the team of Kay & Bob have left our world morebeautiful and glorious than can be imagined. I am just finishing the Mary Slatter andif Kay has not done it, I think she would find it to be primo....Many thanks, Valerie, forthis gift from the heart....
Many, many thanks to you and especially to Kay for this wonderful episode! It was very informative but also so cozy and beautiful! Great job interviewing!!! 💖💖💖 Donna Rae
Flannel Jammies Farm - Well hello there! I was just enjoying a visit with you this morning! I left a comment on your latest video but forgot to say how much I liked hearing about your decision to do your own thing and stitch what you like. I’m still in the process of figuring out where I fit in with all the “stitchalongs” and “stitchMaynia” stuff since I only discovered floss tube last year. But I do know that having you watch my little videos is a thrill to me since I am a big fan of yours. Thanks so much!
Hi Valerie I love your floss tube videos! I am getting caught up on all of them and you are doing a fantastic job. Don’t sweat the small stuff about the videos the dos and the donts you are doing great!!
Oh. My. Goodness, Valerie. That was Amazing. A friend just alerted me to your channel today. I binge watched this afternoon and can't wait for more. Of course, my hands had to be busy so I was stitching on Sarah Braizear 1829, and after this video I realize I need 100 more samplers just like her. Thank you for the field trip, and please thank your friend. She's just delightful.
I usually work while Flosstube is playing but I stopped everything to watch this. Thank you so much for this video! Her house, redware and samplers are exquisite. She and you shared a wealth of knowledge. I learned so much! I will be giving you a shoutout in my next flosstube bc everyone needs to see this video. Well done!
How wonderful!! I am so thrilled with your videos! This as been such a treat, an amazing talent you have shared with us! I too am a multi crafter as are you..never done a Sampler until NOW! Thank you for the inspiration.
Saltbox Stitcher Carol recommended your channel and this video in particular. Your interview of Kay and tour of her sampler walls was fascinating. How great to have her as a friend and neighbor! Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope you go over to her home again and do another video and show more, including her husband. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to following you in your stitchy journey.
This was incredible. I enjoyed it immensely. Kay is a lovely person and her home is beautiful. Please let her know it was a pleasure being invited into her home and seeing her lovely samplers, redware and other treasures. Thank you for bringing us along on the visit.
It was hard to get any stitching done because I had to take down sampler names! Please do more shows of her work. She has 100 so that should be a few. I have some Scottish ancestors and will have to stitch a few. You did a very good job as a interviewer and I enjoyed it greatly! One of my favorite flosstubes yet!! Wish I could come out to purchase the redware, Lovely!
I have just finally caught up with all your video's- each being a treat in themselves- but boy you weren't kidding- when you said this trip to Kay's was going to be a real treat too.. Thank you so much for taking us along.. I absolutely loved this... xoxo niki
Outstanding 👍 video I am a lost for words. It was so good to Paragon Samples I stitch most of them also. I will watch again. Thanks so much for sharing. Inez Arnetta
WOW! I’ve watched a lot of floss tube and this is my favorite one ever ever ever. I’m no going back and watching all your videos and they are so great. I dabble in hand embroidery too so I really enjoyed your Sue Spargo work, I’ve done a tiny bit but definitely want to do more . So look forward to seeing more of all your work and stitching too of course!❤️
What a wonderful video and showcase of talent and a lifetime of knowledge and stitching! thanks so so much for sharing this, I will be viewing this many times in future : )
I just found you this morning and I'm SO glad I did. This was a marvelous video (even the sideways part :) ). Thanks so much for sharing. Kay's samplers were amazing. I'd love to visit her home and see everything. We lived in Western PA for over 20 years but now live in AZ. I miss PA so much. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Happy stitching.
Oh Valerie, what a wonderful treat we had with the visit to Kay’s lovely home! Everything was just spectacular! Thank you both, for taking us on this journey together to see all the artistic talent they both possess. I didn’t want it to end...maybe you can show us more before they move. Thanks for a wonderful video again, love your Flosstube! Happy stitching till next time.
That was so interesting. I learned so much and am such a novice but have something to aspire to. Thanks for sharing. One of my most favorite floss tubes at present. Wow!
A WONDERFUL video!!!...and what a nice woman. Very talented in so many things. I think you should do another video featuring her husband and the things he creates. Her samplers are beautiful and I thank you for introducing her to all of us.
Thank you so much, I loved every minute. I also subscribed to your channel. I have just finished my second ever sampler and could only dream about accomplishing what Kay has done. That tour was incredible.
Thank you so much for showing us Kay’s beautiful Samplers and her beautiful red ware that she has made. Kay has done such great work. Really enjoyed hearing all the interesting information. Enjoy watching your videos.
Wonderful field trip! Thank you so much Valerie for taking us along! What a great chance to learn from a local wealth of knowledge! She’s a treasure, as are you! You did a great job of interviewing and filming!

Joan Clarke hi there - you wouldn’t happen to be in the UK, would you? Haven’t heard “gobsmacked” for a while! 😆So glad you enjoyed the video!
@@valerie-stitchinginthebarn723 No, not in the UK, right here in the good old USA. I love the descriptive words the British use like gobsmacked, paints the best picture, doesn't it?
Thank you so much for sharing your home and samplers with us!
It is my neighbor's house and samplers and I will be sure to let her know that you enjoyed them!
What an incredible woman. Thank you so much for doing this video. And please thank Kay for me. I know you hate to see her move away.
You are right but luckily they will not be too far away.

I am without words for that beautiful tour. Thank you very much.
It was fun to film. Thanks for watching.
Ohmygoodness! What a fantastic video tour. Absolutely wonderful stitching and love Kay's gorgeous home. Love, love, love. Thank you.

I'll be sure to pass along your kind comments to Kay and let her know she is a hit!
Wow that was such a treat. Her work is amazing and her home is beautiful. Thanks so much for the tour.
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much. A privilege to be able to see such astonishingly beautiful work. Thank you Valerie. Thank you Kay.
I'm going to let Kay know how much everyone enjoyed seeing her redware and stitching! Thanks for your nice comments.
I usually work while Flosstube is playing but I stopped everything to watch this. Thank you so much for this video! Her house, redware and samplers are exquisite. She and you shared a wealth of knowledge. I learned so much! I will be giving you a shoutout in my next flosstube bc everyone needs to see this video. Well done!

Saltbox Stitcher Carol recommended your channel and this video in particular. Your interview of Kay and tour of her sampler walls was fascinating. How great to have her as a friend and neighbor! Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope you go over to her home again and do another video and show more, including her husband. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to following you in your stitchy journey.
That was so so interesting! Thank you for sharing. I have a new appreciation for samplers after seeing the beautiful samplers Kay has stitched!
I loved this video! Thank you so much for sharing your visit with that incredibly talented lady.
Thank you!
Wow! Kay's home is absolutely amazing and so beautiful! Thank you both so much for this wonderful video...I loved it!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful home Kay! Love her Samplers and thanks for sharing her story;)
I will be sure she knows how much you enjoyed it.
This was incredible. I enjoyed it immensely. Kay is a lovely person and her home is beautiful. Please let her know it was a pleasure being invited into her home and seeing her lovely samplers, redware and other treasures. Thank you for bringing us along on the visit.
I will be sure to share all your kind comments! Glad you enjoyed it!
Gypsy Rose I absolutely agree with you! This was a truly amazing experience! 🙂
Wow what a beautiful collection of samplers. Thankyou for taking us on a tour
Fascinating video ladies! Thank you so much for taking the time to share all of your great experience and knowledge!
Thank you! :)
It was hard to get any stitching done because I had to take down sampler names! Please do more shows of her work. She has 100 so that should be a few. I have some Scottish ancestors and will have to stitch a few. You did a very good job as a interviewer and I enjoyed it greatly! One of my favorite flosstubes yet!! Wish I could come out to purchase the redware, Lovely!
Thanks for your nice comments! I am going to show Kay all the comments to be sure she knows how much her sharing was appreciated!
This was absolutely amazing. Thank you both so much for the wonderful post
I enjoyed doing it too! Thank you for watching.
I have just finally caught up with all your video's- each being a treat in themselves- but boy you weren't kidding- when you said this trip to Kay's was going to be a real treat too.. Thank you so much for taking us along.. I absolutely loved this...

Thanks to you and Kay for this great informative session! I wasn't too familiar with samplers and now have a greater appreciation of this style!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
WOW! I’ve watched a lot of floss tube and this is my favorite one ever ever ever. I’m no going back and watching all your videos and they are so great. I dabble in hand embroidery too so I really enjoyed your Sue Spargo work, I’ve done a tiny bit but definitely want to do more . So look forward to seeing more of all your work and stitching too of course!❤️
You just made my day...Thank you!!! :)
Would like to follow you in Instagram but couldn’t find you. Thanks!

You are welcome! I had a great time, too.
Thank you for taking us to Kay's. It was an avideo.
So glad you enjoyed it.
I just found you this morning and I'm SO glad I did. This was a marvelous video (even the sideways part :) ). Thanks so much for sharing. Kay's samplers were amazing. I'd love to visit her home and see everything. We lived in Western PA for over 20 years but now live in AZ. I miss PA so much. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Happy stitching.
Glad we could bring a little bit of good old PA back into your world! Thanks so much for watching.
That lady is so informative…such knowledge and energy…thanks for sharing…
What a treat!!! Thank you. I truly enjoyed this video
Thank you so much.
Oh Valerie, what a wonderful treat we had with the visit to Kay’s lovely home! Everything was just spectacular! Thank you both, for taking us on this journey together to see all the artistic talent they both possess. I didn’t want it to end...maybe you can show us more before they move. Thanks for a wonderful video again, love your Flosstube! Happy stitching till next time.
Thank you! I'm going to let her know what nice comments she is getting!
That was so interesting. I learned so much and am such a novice but have something to aspire to.
Thanks for sharing. One of my most favorite floss tubes at present. Wow!
Thank you!
Wow! Her home is amazing. Wonderful interview!
Isn't it lovely?! Thanks you for the nice comment.
A WONDERFUL video!!!...and what a nice woman. Very talented in so many things. I think you should do another video featuring her husband and the things he creates. Her samplers are beautiful and I thank you for introducing her to all of us.
Great idea! I will have to float that suggestion and see if he is willing. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for this fun amazing tour!! I want to be just like her when I grow up! 😉❤️ I will most likely watch and rewatch. 😊❤️🤗
Me too! :)
Thank you so much, I loved every minute. I also subscribed to your channel. I have just finished my second ever sampler and could only dream about accomplishing what Kay has done. That tour was incredible.
After filming this, I bought several sampler patterns! Kay has inspired me to attempt a sampler too!
Thank you so much for showing us Kay’s beautiful Samplers and her beautiful red ware that she has made. Kay has done such great work. Really enjoyed hearing all the interesting information. Enjoy watching your videos.
Thanks so much Dorothy!
Wonderful field trip! Thank you so much Valerie for taking us along!
