The variegated thread is just beautiful. I finished some stitching to some canvas pencil case size pouches using webbing (large pieces of wunderweb). Great to have different finishing ideas, can't wait to see the bag complete.
Best wishes for a happy and positive start to the school year Michelle & Ness 😊 Thanks for sharing the story of the Ladies of Llangollen, I hadn’t heard of them. Love Ruthie’s new patterns especially thread. Think the canvas pouches and bags are a great idea that I might magpie and try too! 🧵✂️❤️
Another GREAT VIDEO for sure!!! All the stitching stuffs were breathtaking. , but I laughed out loud when you told the story about looking for your phone & talking on it at the same time because it is a story I also have!!!
Hi Michelle, Had to let you know-I ordered two of the Sampler Buttons last Sunday morning-I confess I put your Flosstube on hold while I went to the Button Queen to purchase two of the Sampler Buttons. I had a reply within an hour that they had shipped and I received them today, Friday, 5 days later! Did I mention I live in Michigan, USA?? What fast service!! SOOO Happy!!!
I found the information on the hanging by a thread so interesting! I think you are right about the epitaph and a plaque. Colonial American gravestones also have interesting epitaphs. Fly and thread
Thank you so much for mentioning my video, and so kindly linking to it! I definitely didn't even dare to put this on my flosstube bingo board, thank you! 💜
What an awesome Flosstube episode, so many goodies today! Thank you so much for the incredible shoutout, I really appreciate it! ❤ I can’t wait to purchase your bird wreath chart! Harriet is turning out beautifully! I’m definitely going to have to check out those Etsy flosses.
I just ordered my Sampler Stitcher button! I received my threads from Pirate Robin a couple of weeks ago including Bog Witch. So good! I may need to hop in on Hannah Attwater now. I like the idea of a couple motifs or a motif and some border every month. Can’t wait for the circular bird chart to be released! Well done. Take care!!
So glad you love our Scottish twang lol. I love watching your videos each week. It just doesn’t seem like the weekend without them. I’m not a stitcher of Halloween but the quotation is intriguing me. I may need to buy fabric and THREAD my needle to stitch it.
Watched and ordered my button this Sunday morning. In fact, I ordered several as they will make perfect ChristmS gifts for my sampler loving friends! Thread- love A Single Thread.
Such beautiful colour of variegated threads. Perfect charts for the little bag and the bags. You always have great ideas. Good luck in the first month of school. Great video today, thanks
I love the idea of sewing those two beautiful projects on the bag and tote. Very classy! You are right, the days do fly by and it is already September.
Bag and pouch love it. Bird wreath 💖 Fab new threads, oh my the dark copper is just the Queen of threads, gorgeous. Thank you, enjoyed as always, and will check the new flossers.
The Bog Witch thread is very tempting for Halloween charts🐦⬛. Like you, I’m back to work tomorrow ☹️. Six weeks just fly by too quickly! Making every last moment count today and your Sunday briefing always cheers me up!
Great flosstube as always, agree that time does fly by. Especially when you're busy with needle and thread. Love your idea of stitching pieces onto a pre-made bag. Happy stitching, Kim ❤
I really enjoyed the mini history lesson on the Ladies of Llangollen. We have many happy memories of the town from when we lived in Wales and I was a bit familiar with the Ladies. We are living back in America and it brings back happy memories when I hear you speak of areas we lived or visited. Thank you for your flosstubes and sharing your creativity.
Oh my if you think time flies by now wait a few decades. I feel like the movie Ground Hog Day and I live in a world of perpetual christmas eve. I blink and it is here again. I am so glad you will be visiting the states. I hope it is a wonderful adventure for you.
I want to stitch IT ALL. So many beautiful things. If time didn't fly by so fast and if I didn't stitch so slowly I'd accomplish more. Need to thread my needle faster.
So much lovely stitching and too many great ideas, I need two more days in the week to fit everything in and I’m retired! 🤣🤣. I got Hannah Atwell but I can’t wait to get the bird wreath. I also got Mary Gypsum and Emaline Purnell and Eliza Ann Geddis and the Jeanette Douglas scissor spool ! 🥴 It was my birthday in August but who decided there should be a Sampler September? Thanks for sharing another great video.
Another amazing floss tube I know you’re heading back to school as your drop down box reads like a homework list. But oh my goodness do I wish I had homework lists like this at school. I must admit when I saw your new sampler I half hoped there would be a thread that would link it to the ladies of Llangollen. Both as your in wales and they really were an interesting couple who lead an amazing life which is a very positive female influence. I hope going back to the day job doesn’t stop all the amazing strides you are making in the stitching world at the moment, too much. But necessity does dictate 😢. Fabulous watch can’t wait till next weeks briefing and our next homework list 😂❤
Hi Michelle, enjoyed today’s episode (as usual) but particularly loved hearing the history of the Ladies of Llangollen(hope I’ve got that right!), was completely unaware of them but loved their story - will be doing further research 😊 You have very generous friends, fly and thread. Good luck with back to school, kids in Scotland have been back more than a week already - where does time go?
Dear Michelle, How different we all are. I like black and white charts and dislike colour charts with a passion. Have you ever tried Oliver Twists threads? UK based, 10M skeins, absolutely fabulous colour palettes and lovely to use. Have a happy start to a new school year. Still think the two ladies's hats are veiled riding top hats. Best wishes, Linda
Your bird wreath is going to be at the top of my list! Is that second Teresa Kogut design you shared “A Stitcher’s Garden” available? I can’t seem to locate it.
@@sccolleen8722 hello! A Stitchers Gatden was a Patreon release - it may be released next year or perhaps has been given another name? I would message Teresa to clarify..I’m sure she would help.
Another great video. I always watch on Sunday morning here in Minnesota USA. Could you give a little more information on the Jumper you are wearing. I am a big collector of Flamingos. and would love to see if I could get a top like yours. Thanks again for the great videos.
Hey there Michelle, love all of your stitches. Alive by noon and dead by night could be referencing the sweating sickness that took out King Arthur, king Henry VIII oldest brother. That same sickness also almost took out queen Catherine of Aragon, but she survived it to marry king Henry VIII. I think the saying said, married in the morning and dead by the honeymoon? Something of that sort (I’m sure I butchered it). Thanks for the lovely content!
Good Sunday morning! What is a hair sampler? Stitched with actual hair??? Interesting...Lately I've been thinking of vintage graveyard or coffin quilts and how to convert one to a cross stitch pattern or if in the past anyone ever stitched a cross stitch equivalent. I've got my thinking hat on. Thanks for the great video!
Yes! Although they were generally much finer as hair is much finer. It did look from the front as if the two plaits across the top of the hat could have been hair but the back confirms not - which was my most likely scenario. Check out this article for more information www.historytoday.com/archive/miscellanies/her-own-hair-victorian-prisoners-art
@@mommalovesyougb OMG! What an interesting article! Thank you!!! My first trip across the pond was actually to attend a wedding in Maidstone/Kent! I can't imagine how difficult it would be to stitch with hair instead of thread! She may have had a problem with alcohol, but what a talented woman she was! Oh, to be a fly on the wall...
@@barbguenther2932 Hello - I just checked with the organisers and they have it as an exclusive for 12 months. Stacy may then release her next summer but that would be her choice 😀
I own the antique of Kezia Turnock-1824 which has been charted by Sassafras Samplers. There are a couple of similarities between my sampler & your sampler with the 2 ladies. They have checked skirts which I had never seen before and they both have one hand raised holding what looks like a plate. Kezia has been found & lived in the UK.
I thought I'd tuned into the BBC this morning. Don't read too much into the sampler or make it a diversity/woke sampler. Their relationship would have been frowned upon rather than little girls representing it in a sampler. A feminine top hat with or without the trailing net or scarf was the riding dress of the day. All women who rode had riding attire which looked like those women and if you think of the many hunting packs which were around more so than today (thank goodness) ... think of the hunting scene in Downton Abbey.
Hello Justine - I’m not trying to read into it, just exploring all the possibilities. It looks Welsh to me but like I said in the video, it’s an uncommon style if it is. People aren’t usually depicted as the main motif in Welsh samplers…it’s certainly a conundrum.
Love the birds in the round and can't wait until you post it in your etsy shop. Happy stitching!

Cool chart, nice bit of history. Cute coasters & bags.
Oh my! Some days I wish would fly…The first weeks back to school have me hanging by a thread, but not quite dead…
Time really does fly. Summer has flashed by. Beautiful stitching as always ❤
I am looking forward to the release of the wreath, beautiful design, I am sure it will fly out. Gorgeous colours of thread too.
As soon as one of your flosstubes is up I watch it immediately. Can't wait until you release the bird chart. Fly
