Flosstube #15 Coffee's For Closers

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ย. 2024
- It's been a while! Welcome back to this little corner of The Flosstubery where I talk about cross stitch and the people who cross stitch and the places we go to cross stitch and also what we are cross stitching. Pull up a seat and grab some coffee, even if you're not a closer. I know I'm not.

Your Granny Square blanket is awesome. I hade a poncho with those colors in the 70’s, I;m wishing I knew where it is now. Loved your video and all your wips are amazing and your chose of fabric colors are DELIGHTFUL😊
Really enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful stitching. Spanish Mystery Sampler is divine. Anna Sophia B has been on my list too. That big pink bee skep is so fabulous. I still miss Alan Rickman, such a great actor with a truly unique voice. Thanks for sharing, xx, Tricia
Thank you Tricia! I've been working on Anna Sophia this week and am really enjoying it. Not quite to the bee skep yet, but almost! Happy stitching and thank you for the comment!
Enjoyed stitching with you today. Loved seeing all of your projects. Beautiful inspiring stitching.
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Thanks for showing your WIPs
3/4 of the way through 'The Hound & The Hare' . Love it as I breed whippets. I'll be doing another one for my daughter who has 2 rescue greyhounds. Your projects are fabulous. Unfortunately I want to do lots of them!
Good to see you again,you have been busy! Love all that you have done,love the blanket,enjoy your retreat, Thankyou for sharing 👍🇳🇿🪡
Thank you Donna! Happy stitching and happy spring (if you're in the northern hemisphere)!
Hi Jody, happy belated Birthday 🎉 loved seeing all your wips which is total eye candy. Thanks for showing the smalls exchange from StitchNorth you like it, you really really like it 😂Hope the library card is the first one to be put into the cabinet you are looking for. I’m going to StitchNorth in April 2023 and I will certainly come by your table and say hi to you and your table mates. No doubt Laura will be at your table also. See you next year!!
Cathy, I do really REALLY like it. (Fantastic throwback to Sally Field's Oscar speech, I see what you did there.) Can't wait to see you next year and thank you again, I feel so lucky to have been the recipient of your beautiful work!
I’m so glad you got to go to Stitch North!! And the needlebook you made for the smalls exchange is just precious. My favorite of the projects you showed is the Spanish Mystery Sampler. It looks so delicate on the 46 count. Ann Grimshaw is lovely too. Your crocheted blanket is such a treasure. One day I will learn to crochet.
Oh my goodness, Spanish Mystery Sampler is so beautiful - not necessarily my stitching but the chart and color choices are incredible. The camera doesn't do it justice. Crochet is so fun and is really much easier than knitting - Lori Holt has fantastic tutorials on granny squares. Do it!! : )
omg love your Roy bird - me and my mom's favorite line from that movie is 'I almost had to wait!'
This is a horribly late response to your comment Emma, but I also love 'ANDREW! Are you going to bring me my lemon or do I have to squeeze it from my hat?!'. LOL
Hi Jody! I’m glad you got the chance to go to Canada for a stitching retreat, how great!
I will have to look for the movie galaxy quest now!
What I like about theaters, in addition to laughter being contagious, is hopefully they have insulated you from the outside noise. And it’s dark, the screen is huge, and you are there committed to watching the whole movie, and you can get sucked in. Whereas when I watch movies at home, I am constantly interrupted by noise, doorbells, animals, you just can’t get as involved in the movie as you do at the theater.
What an adorable miniature fruit basket needle case design! I’m afraid you’re going to need smaller needles to fit in there! 😂
I’m sure you will think of something you can make out of it, like a brooch, or an ornament for your tree or your project bag. Or the worlds smallest pillow! 😀
Hi Padma! I really do miss going to theaters, and we will probably try to go back sometime this summer if something comes out that we want to see. We have an IMAX screen at the Seattle Science Center (next to the Space Needle incidentally) and it is my favorite place to see a big Star Wars or Marvel type movie release. For all the reasons you listed. Plus, nothing compares to movie theater popcorn. It's not that it's the best, but it is unique and you really can't replicate it at home. I think you're right about the fruit basket - it is SO tiny!!
DAMMIT JODY How am I supposed to get to sleep tonight with all of these projects floating around in my head???
Love your flosstube Jody. Your finishes and WIPs were very potato chippy.
Thank you Carol! (Can't eat just one ... ) : )
Loved that tiny piece … my tiny piece made a very cute bling for my scissors…I made my own cord with floss to match and went around my little sampler and am hanging seed beads to it. The actual finished is 2x1 1/2. On your space invaders maybe you can do the top of the creature in the first part of the day and the second half with the 2nd color… sounds unique. And I’m from below you in the Lacey area of Washington. Wish I could send picture of it to you.
I have so enjoyed seeing you and all of your gorgeously stunningly beautiful stitching ♥️♥️♥️. You are very inspiring dahling. Your crochet blankie looks fab! It’ll look great with little white Charlie hairs poking through 😂😂😂 (I know that from personal experience!). Hahaha. Mwah mwah. 😘😘
Thank you Nicky! Charlie is very generous with his little white fur, shares it everywhere! Such a little gentleman. : )
So glad you had a new video! You were missed! You have so many lovely WIP projects and new starts. Hound and Hare is just beautiful and that Spanish sample is gorgeous! I haven't started the Alphabet sampler yet that I won from you, but I wasn't crazy about the baby/angel in the middle of the chart either. I am anxious to see how you edit the chart. Happy belated birthday!
Hi Patty! I think I'm just going to squeeze the letters together but I'll probably talk about it in more detail when I get to that spot on the Enchanted Alphabet chart. : ) Thanks for the birthday wish and thank you again for watching!
Great video, Jodie! You have so many beautiful WIPS! I love your quote from Alan Rickman. As an introvert, I need to be reminded of the importance to be around people. I also love your blanket! I have never crotchet before, but one day will try to add it to my list of things to learn. After seeing a floral blanket that Arne and Carlos from Sit and Knit for a Bit are doing, I really would like to try doing it (one day). Have a great week !
Hi Michelle! Maybe one of these days we could have a fun crochet stitch day here on the deck since we're (almost) neighbors! The nice thing about being around other introverts is that we get it, we understand when it's time to wrap up and aren't insulted when people have to cancel or reschedule at the last minute - it takes some of the pressure off. I love Arne and Carlos, they are so fun to watch (MOOSE!). Happy stitching!
@@trixietricycle I would like that!! (Moose! Yes!!! 😂)
A lot of stitching, super nice, congrats.
I like all your projects too 😊😊
Great to see you back! 💝
Thank you Denise, so good to see you here!
Wonderful Flossy! Can’t wait to see your Snooty parrots start, thanks for the shout out! Your new dog rug is stunning, love it. 🦜👑
Thanks Cathy! All blankets are dog rugs if we're being honest, right? (LOL) Happy Birthday!!
I enjoyed this flosstubings. Please provide more flosstubings.
Thank you for the watchings and for the commentings. You also should provide more flosstubings please.
OMG. I freaking love Overboard! I saw that at my aunt's house on LASER DISC coz she fancy. 🤣🤣🤣
Ooooo laser disc!! I remember friends who had a laser disc player and a velour sofa for movie watching. VERY fancy. Overboard has some of the most hilarious hidden gem quotes - very very funny.
For some reason I thought that big banner behind you in the last video was a younger Leonard Nimoy. Don't worry if your videos are blurry because I stitch without my glasses on, watch on my phone next to me, and if I need to see something I have to put my glasses on. Maybe that's why I'm seeing Leonard Nimoy. LOL I enjoy your Flosstube. You have so many good WIPS. Your blanket looks great. Love all the colors.
Thanks Christy! If you've seen Galaxy Quest you'll know that it was a bit of a love letter to Star Trek fans and Alan Rickman's character was kind of akin to Spock, so I can see how you could have seen that. I also loved Leonard Nimoy (even met him for a second at one of his book signings and was completely star struck). Thanks so much for watching and for the comment!
Hi Jody, I am also a homebody and I’m glad to see you. I enjoy being home and creating things, but like the company of Floss Tube. Just a heads up if you put muslin on the back of your piece that you want to hem stitch, it can cover up your hem. It was really hard to stitch down the muslin and not let my project pucker or stretch. So now I use the SF 101 on the back of my stitched piece. I cut a piece very close to the edge of my stitching, then I pull my threads making sure Everything meets in the right place. Just an opinion. I might try sewing the muslin down first then start pulling threads. If you would like I can DM you with a photo of my first attempt.
Hi Van!! Great point about the complications of stitching a piece onto muslin. I'd love to see a photo of your project and appreciate the suggestions!
@@trixietricycle hi Jody, sorry, After looking for it, I think I gave that sampler away 🙁. But, I’m also finished with a project I want to hem stitch, I’ll DM you soon. I hope to see you at the NWSS.
So lovely to catch up with you - you look so relaxed and chilled :) love all you are working on and all your new starts! Super progress - love from Wales UK x
I so enjoy your videos because of your point of view. It usually gives me lots of time to stitch. This time not so much as I kept looking up. So much great work and progress. It was wonderful meeting you at Stitch North and to see your stitching in person. I might just have to buy MFE Hound and the Hare. Have fun at Stitch Con.
Hi Sheila! It was lovely to meet you in person as well. Are you attending in 2023 too? The Hound and the Hare was very fun to stitch, and such a nice retreat project!
@@trixietricycle yes I am, booked for April. I think I will make the Hound and the Hare my New Years Start.
First bumblebee sighting yesterday feasting on the willow buds. The weather has been so up and down we have no dandelions yet. The crocuses and daffodils are just starting to flower. East coast for ya! Your work is amazing and the colours are so gorgeous. Welcome back.💙💛
Hi Nancy! Hooray on the bumblebee sighting! Thank you again for the lovely stitched postcard, it's sitting next to my stitchy spot so I can enjoy it. Thanks so much for watching and for the stitchy kindness.
Happiest of belated birthday wishes Jody!! Thank you for sharing all of your gorgeous WIPs and starts with us!💗💗💗💗💗
Thank you so much!!
Great projects you have going.
Love that Bee postcard,so gorgeous.
The Granny blanket looks good too.
Marilyn
Thank you Marilyn!
I just found your flosstube and I love it. What a treat, going back to your earlier episodes. I’m googling bean bag ashtrays!
Thank you Eva, and welcome! The bean bag ashtrays do still exist and I found one in a package for sale on eBay (I think) for just a few dollars. It's staying in the package though - I have NO idea what they put in those things but I'm not taking any chances LOL.
Wow, you’ve been working on so many things. Everything looks beautiful! I love your granny square blanket too. Glad you had a great time at the retreat. Happy Belated Birthday 🎂🎈🎂🎈🎂
Thank you Lorraine, I appreciate it!
So. many. WIPs. 😆😆😆 Thirza looks amazing!!!
Thanks Julie, and thanks for charting and sharing her with all of us!
Love the postcard. The glass tiny bowl looks like a eye wash glass.
Wonderful Flosstube!
Thank you so much! Happy stitching! : )
Glad you’re back! Love the granny squares😉
Thanks Donna! Happy to hear from you and hope the spring weather is treating you well!
Enjoyed your floss tube as always. I did not catch the name of the floss tuber that does a lot of things with smalls Thanks, Deidre
Her name is Kelli and her channel is Minimalism in the Making. 😊
🌻🐝🌻❤ I love your wips and the Granny Square blanket is awesome!
Thank you Xan!
So happy to have a new video from you! Your projects look fantastic and I love how you jump into everyone’s birthday SALs! We have several projects in common so it’s fun to see how you are coming along on yours. And Overboard is one of my hubby’s all-time favorite movies!! Isn’t that how Goldie and Kurt originally met, on that film? Anyway, your videos are my favorite!
Barbara, you are too kind. Thank you so much for watching! I have a LARGE collection of birthday starts (it is such a fun way to stitch a variety of projects). And Overboard is hilarious. So many funny little side quotes that you don't catch until you've seen it a few times. Great writing.
Your project bags are really beautiful! Also, I just watched Julie's video where she introduced her first reproduction sampler and I loved seeing that you've started it - the colors are amazing! And nice work on the granny squares 😍
Thanks Kelli, isn't it a great sampler?? Stitch day soon for sure - the deck is open for the season. : )
Yay!!!!!! Gonna watch tomorrow while I wait for delivery at new office 🥰
Stitch North was so much fun! Sorry I didn't introduce myself, it was a bit overwhelming at times not being used to seeing so many people in public! I love the LFB Sampler!
Hi there! Completely understand, next year if you are there we'll be retreat pros so we can try then! : )
@@trixietricycle I am signed up for the May weekend!
"cute" and "a little fruity" is also how I describe myself :0
I must confess that I am missing the zoom meetings already as we meet in person again. With the zoom meetings you don't have to go anywhere and can be in your pj's or whatever......you don't have to go out into the cold weather.....you know............. :). You can make a little scissor fob with that cute little fruit bowl.
Hi Hanna! I'm hoping some of the stitchy Zoom meetings persist as there are so many stitchers from around the globe who met and have built friendships online. As for work Zooms or Teams or whatever - I never stopped going to work in person so nothing has changed for me on that front. I make up for it by living in my PJs when I'm at home. : ) A scissor fob is a fantastic idea. It's so tiny!
Cotton velvet is much easier to work with. Rayon is so stretchy, it's difficult!!
Your ROY is great❤️.
Thanks Debbie! It cracks me up every time I see it.
That Stitch North pillow is fabulous! Love the William Morris fabric!
Perhaps I misunderstood the comment about Alan Rickman (having died before the pandemic.) I looked him up and it said he died in 2016? 6 years ago?
I mentioned the fact that he died before the pandemic because he was discussing his sadness that people were less inclined to attend movies and plays in person because they had the option to stream things at home - and I wanted to clarify that this was said way before theaters were closed for public health reasons.
@@trixietricycle Thank you for clarifying!!
Oh, man. After being around teenagers since my early teens, being home has always been a retreat. Now that I have left the classroom, it’s getting harder and harder to enter the world. I just don’t want to. I’m tired of people and our drama and turmoil and chaos. Do I sound like a cranky old woman? I’m not. I’m very content with my circle of people, my stitching, floss tube and my animals. Im way to introverted to go to a retreat alone. Good for you! Stitching in hand is the only way I can do it.
You don't sound cranky at all! I love being able to retreat to my own space. Especially if you have or have had a job where you are surrounded by people and tend towards introversion - it can be overwhelming. I did enjoy attending Stitch North and am looking forward to other retreats but I love that you have found a balance within your personal circle and completely relate. : ) Happy Stitching and thanks so much for watching, see you next time.
1st time seeing your videos… love your chart choices… where do you get your black floss rings??
Hi Teresa and welcome! I believe the black rings are from Amazon. If you search for black book rings (mine are 2") you should see a variety of types and quantities.

What part of the NW? I live in Lebanon Oregon
Hi Chloe, I'm in the Seattle area. So many PNW stitchers! : )
