I love seeing the things you share! I feel like our stitching tastes are so different but so complimentary!!
Happy belated birthday!! 🥳 Awesome goodies u got! Real good picks!!! Happy stitching!🐈⬛🪡❤️
Thanks for he tip on where to get the book Hun! Will be running there payday to nab a copy! And probably more, sounds like a dangerous website for me lol 😂
Hi Laura, I found you through a shout out from cross stitch bunny, so pleased I did. Enjoyed the video, I had also just recently ordered the primrose cottage patterns after a long impatient wait for them to be available in the uk or 123 stitch. I also had the In The Forest book on pre-order via Amazon since early July, so thanks to you I have also just ordered from Blackwell and also cancelled my pre-order as they were showing an October delivery date. I love Max’s style of designs and cannot wait to start one of them, my absolute favourite is the cover design, but love them all. Look forward to going back and watching your previous video’s and of course your future ones. Great to see that you are based in the UK too. I regularly attend the Essex Needle retreats and hoping to attend the Big Stitch in 2026, loved hearing and seeing everyone’s glowing reviews 🥰
Oh wow how did you get the book?? I preordered soon after it went on sale and Amazon said it still isn’t coming til September 😱
Great video, love the recap but I particularly love all your haul, very jealous! 😂 I’m definitely going to have to look out for their 2026 retreat! ❤
Monthly crew is my favourite. Great flick through!
Happy Birthday for the 6th! Absolutely adore that book
Love the book run through ❤ will be buying 🎉love the fox and the wolf ❤
Great seeing Max's book and your birthday gifts
I haven't even finished watching but I had to stop and order that book from Blackwell's. Happy belated Birthday Wishes ☺
Belated birthday wishes. Thanks for heads up re amazon just cancelked my order and ordered my copy from blackwells as well xx
Loved Max's book ! My favourite are mainly the ones you said I love the bear, the owl and I do like the sunset on the lake. I have put in an order lol I'm sure I will decide more I love when I get my copy. Thank you for sharing hope you had a lovely birthday ❤
Really enjoyed your video Laura. Love the haul!! I’ve started with buying Xmas presents that my husband is going to give to me!! Loved the review of the book. I’ve seen some flosstubers have been sent the book by the designer. But you gave the best preview of the book and you bought it!! There’s some lovely projects in there. I can see some sals coming on. I’ve now cancelled my Amazon order which was showing delivery for the 2nd of October and ordered it elsewhere. Look forward to your next video and see what you’ve been stitching.
Happy birthday 🎉 it's mine next week, so I just went to Blackwells and ordered Cross stitch in the forest. So many stunning projects! Totally ignoring the fact that I have way too many WIPPs already 😂
Yay! I hope you enjoy receiving it as much as I have. Happy Birthday for next week x
Hi thank you for doing a video about the retreat, I have never been to a retreat before as the ones I have looked at before seemed to be quite expensive with hotel prices not included, I don't know how much this one was but it looks like fun! I am in Basildon in Essex, just wondered where abouts you are situated? Love, love , love the colours for the MFE sampler, I too am not keen on mono samplers. 😍
Hi Wendy! Retreats do tend to be pretty expensive unfortunately - but if you can afford it they are totally worth it so I recommend. I’m in Shoeburyness (just past Southend) but my parents are in Benfleet so I was very family with Basildon as a kid. Thanks so much for watching and commenting x
I’m exactly the same! Always stitched on 14/16ct Aida until I started to stitch on 28ct evenweave in a Gold Dimension’s kit, now don’t enjoy Aida at all although I have one on the go in black, as I thought it would be difficult on evenweave with it being black, definitely a 28ct girl now X
It’s mad how quickly you can get hooked on evenweave, isn’t it? Thanks so much for watching 😍
Hi Laura! I enjoyed you recap of Big Stitch. Thanks for sharing. Your bright colour conversion on the Big Stitch Big Tree is going to be so fun. I think it’s great to switch up charts so the colours are more you. Re the Primrose Cottage designs - you can order the new ones direct from 123 stitch (I just have) and they charge a flat $4.99 postage to UK on each order. I’ve had good experience with them. Understand if you prefer to order from a UK seller, we just can’t always get what we want from them though.😊
Thanks so much, Sarah 🥰 Yeah I’m looking forward to seeing how my Big Stitch project looks when I’ve got some more done 😘
I love that Garden Glass pattern. I did Daffodil Dance by Carolyn Manning a couple of months ago. I find the smaller color block sections relaxing to do. I may need to buy this pattern.
Yes I’m finding the Carolyn Manning pattern very relaxing too - something about the shapes and symmetry calms my brain 😂 Thanks so much for watching 😍
i enjoy your flosstube channel, you are a lovely sticher. Since you love black cats and birds, I would recommend Lindy Stitches - Steph is a designer with a cross stitch shop (with lots of deigners). She hosted the Midsummer Stitch a couple of weeks ago and hosts the Jingle Ball virtual event every December (so fun!). Check out the Lindy Stitches pattern "Black Cat Season" - it s a joy to stitch and perfect for the upcoming spooky season. Oh, and she also has a flosstube, and she makes everyone laugh, she;s really cute! Happy stitching.
Fab haul! I spent a fortune at Talking Dog stitchery too! xxx
Talking Dog are so great, aren’t they? Happy we have a new UK supplier who stock lots of the designers I love. Thanks for watching 😍
Great video! I may have just run off to join Yasmin's Patreon.... You are such an enabler! Happy Stitching! xxx
Ha ha - sorry not sorry - enabling is my special gift 😂 Yas’ Patreon is fab. Thanks for watching 🥰
I may have just ordered your octopus, he’s so cute! Will also be stitching the love poppet 🐙
Yay! Love Poppet are definitely becoming a new favourite of mine 😍
AMAZING haul!!!!! U picked some great stuff and I'm so glad u had fun at ur retreat!!! I absolutely love that classic colorworks marmalade for 🐙! Cheers to the 80s babies! I'm '82.... but I'm turning 29 again this year 😉
80s babies are the best 🙌 Thanks so much for watching 😍
Quack along !!! Can’t wait!!
It’s gonna be fun 🤩
Loved hearing all about the Big Stitch - I will defo get tickets next time 😃
It was so brilliant. They are planning another for 2026 - too far away but it will be awesome I’m sure. Thank you for watching 😍
Thank you for doing a SAL with my octopus, what a lovely surprise - can't wait to see them all 🥰
We’re having so much fun with the octopus and a lot of us are planning out the seahorses too. You’re knocking it out of the park at the moment! 😍
You must have been so grateful for the timing in Rotherham after the terrible events! Hi from Australia and a great video and would love to have been there!
Yes we were very lucky. The riots have been awful to watch and very scary for the people living in those areas. Thanks so much for watching 🥰
Lovely video! So many great projects - I just might have to join you for that Quacker stitch!! 🦆
Do it! The quackerlong is going to be a lot of fun. I’ll be talking more about it in Flosstube #7 😍
Great episode Laura, love your projects. Looking forward to hearing about Big Stitch. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
Thank you for watching, lovely 😘
What a fab video! Thank you for sharing all of the information about the retreat, it was so lovely to meet you in person. Hopefully we will see you there in 2026 ❤
I will 100% be there - thanks so much 😍
Fabulous recap..it was a joy sharing the table with you all..your haul is fabulous…we need to save now for the next one 😂
Definitely 😂 My bank account is weeping 😂 Lovely to chat with you x
Awesome finishes!!! U have made so much progress on all ur wips and sals!! I especially love that 🐙!!!!! Ive been purposely staying away from patreon cuz i know id end up broke w all the great exclusive memberships n patterns, but i may have to cave cuz that guy is just too cool!!! I just want to say thank you for the beautiful needleminder...it came so quick for being half way across the 🌎 lolol. I was having such a crappy day n seeing the happy mail from u turned that day around for me...ill def be ordering from u again in the future! I have a few bird patterns that i plan on starting soon, and the pretty cardinal will be perfect for them!! Once i start em and post, ill make sure to tag u on ig! So great to see u again...just saw u posted the big stitch haul video...im excited! Love to b enabled 😜 Happy stitching! 🐈⬛🪡❤️
Thank you so much - it makes me so happy that your order cheered you up a little when you received it 😍😍 Let me know if you do get the octopus and I’ll get you added to our little Insta chat, I just kitted mine up 👍 Thanks for watching, speak to you soon ❤️
@@ButterflyStitchesCottonClay welllllllll..... if anyone asks I'm blaming u for my demise 😉 jk jk!!! I could NOT stop thinking about it, so I joined so I could get the 🐙!!!! I need to now go to 123 stitch and pick a good fabric for him, and I will start asap!! I'm excited!!!! I may or may not have joined some other patreons too, now....new patterns r SO addicting 🤣 down the rabbit hole I go lololol
Just found you…really enjoyed your video, thanks. Loved the Hygge….we all need more Hygge!
We definitely do - hygge is the best. Thanks so much for watching 🥰
Looking forward to starting the octopus SAL with you and everyone else ❤ 🐙
Yay! He’s a cutie, can’t wait to start him tonight 🐙 😍
At least finish one tiny town before buying more….. oops 😂😂😂😂
🤣 Yeah I can’t see me sticking to that to be honest! x
Nice haul!
Thanks!
Loved this ! I went to ccs retreat if I knew how much I was going to love it I would have signed up for this one too ! Might join the quackalong lol Are the project bag sellers on etsy always looking for lovely bags ?
Retreats are so addictive! I’m just now trying to work out which I’m going to go to next year 😍 I’m not actually sure where you can find Bowen’s Bags and Things (maybe they only sell at retreats) but Stitchmania Stash has an Etsy: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/StitchmaniaStash
@@ButterflyStitchesCottonClay thank you x
Lovely retreat recap. I’m commenting on this video instead of both (I’m lazy, I know). Thank you for mentioning me and announcing our crazy quackalong 😊 It was lovely to meet you at the retreat! ❤
Lovely to meet you too! Can’t wait to get started on the SAL 😍
Love that the huge pattern has a connection with a book. Heard about it several times but haven’t read yet. Should I start it now or wait till early winter to better catch that atmosphere? Judging by the pattern it’s not a summer vibe…
Hi! It’s definitely not a summer vibe IMO. I’m planning to finish that first quarter and then get it back out on Oct/Nov. Thanks for watching :)
Watch The Hygge Stitcher Samantha you’ll love. 😊 Your Carolyn Manning is amazing and you’ve done loads. 😊
Oooh I will go find her - thank you! 😍
🐙🐙🐙🐙
🐙. They are so smart and most of their neurons are in their tentacles!!! Sorry for terrifying you more. The stitch and needleminder are so cute. 🤣
😂 Maybe all this learning & stitching will help me overcome my fear!
❤❤❤❤
I so enjoyed watching all your stitching progress. I think my favorites of all your beautiful pieces are the Carolyn Manning and Barbara Ana. 💖
Thanks so much! 😘
I always change the date on a piece to reflect when I stitch it but all these things are just your personal preference so whatever feels right to you. I am really looking forward to the Big Stitch - I think it’s going to be amazing.
Thanks so much for watching 😍 Hope you had a great time at the retreat xx
@@ButterflyStitchesCottonClay I did! I thought it was a great event.
I was nervous to do my first drum but they really are not hard. I plan to finish my current town this week and show it fully finished on my end of the month flosstube. I do have pics on Instagram also. Have a fabulous July. 🦉🧵🪡🌞
Thank you! I’m going to make sure I take a look at that 😍
Wonderful video!! So glad u had such a successful time at the retreat! Your cardinal project is looking amazing and i adore the minder! Wish i was more local to you lol...im in the states so its prob a hefty shipping fee. Cant wait to see all your progress on ur wips...not to mention the haul from ur upcoming retreat n all the new starts that i bet will happen! Enjoy...happy stitching! 🐈⬛🪡❤️
Hi! Thanks so much for watching and your lovely comments 😍 I do ship to the US but I charge £5.50 shipping fee (around $7). So only really worth it if you’re ordered more than one item I suppose. That’s what I do when I’m ordering from the US - wait and then order a few things at once, but I’m a shopaholic like that lol! And yes I’m bound to have another big haul from Big Stitch 🤦🏻♀️😂 Thanks, again 🥰
@@ButterflyStitchesCottonClay actually $7 isn't too bad!! I was imagining it'd be like owl forest embroidery where the shipping is like $25! Now my wheels r turnin 😜❤️
@@StitchinwLoo Oh no nothing like that - I try to keep shipping as low as possible, I just charge exactly what Royal Mail charge me. Mostly because I personally get so frustrated by how much other companies charge me for shipping 😂
@@ButterflyStitchesCottonClay 🥰
@@ButterflyStitchesCottonClay I appreciate you! Look forward to getting my needle minder as I have the perfect start that it will go great with! 😀
Loved this new subscriber here spoke to you at ccs Lesley bought me acrylic flower letter as a gift as preorder think i told you lol Great haul you got some lovely fabrics have fun at big stitch xx
Thanks, Nikki, it was lovely to meet you at CCS - thanks so much for watching & subscribing 😍👍
Love this video. Lots of lovely stitching. With regards dates I would out the date you finish a piece. It’s good to personalise things.
Thank you, yeah I think I will do that - makes sense right? Thanks so much for watching, chat soon :)
