Very nice first video. Life is too short to stitch on a fabric you don’t enjoy. Switch and GO! Looking forward to your next Floss Tube. Congratulations!
Wow, that was a great flosstube... #1 can't wait for #2 and beyond❤❗️Take care
Hi Caitlin, I'm also relatively new to flosstube and have also been stitching for four years. Thanks for sharing your pieces!
Congrats on your first floss tube, you are off to a fabulous start! Have fun at StitchCon, it is on my bucket list. Looking forward to your next video!
Congratulations on a wonderful first Flosstube! I love all of your nativity and manger projects! I was shocked by the size of the manger ornament - I thought it would be an actual tree ornament and boy was I wrong! haha
Congrats on your 1st. Flosstube
Great first video, looking forward to following your stitching!
Congratulations on a terrific, entertaining, and informative flosstube! I immediately subscribed and hit the notification button. You have such a graceful and kind demeanor which is immediately endearing. I totally agree with starting a project over when you run into a fabric that doesn't bring you joy when working on it. I look forward to your next video and wish you all the best as you produce more segments!
Karen, thank you for such a sweet comment. I want to print it out and put it on my fridge! I appreciate your genuineness and kind words 💜 Thank you for watching!
So fun to meet you at Stitch-con and then see your WIP parade, looking forward to the next video!
Such a joy to meet you! Thank you for watching ☺
Hello! Frizzie Lizzie Stitches sent me lol. thanks for sharing your stitching with us. Enjoyed it very much. On the " I hate this linen" project, there's one thing I would try if the item were mine. Faultless Magic Light Hold (Sizing). It's a very mild spray starch. It's also hard to find at a normal price online. It seems to be carried more in small hardware stores, but Walmarts in the south have it. IDK. Anyway. I would cover the stitched area with a cloth, and spray a part of the unstitched area. If, after it dries, you like how it feels, do the rest. If it doesn't have the right feel, then maybe have a friend adopt this project. It's clear it is not bringing you joy. Powering through ... idk, I think life is too short. best wishes!
Thank you for watching and coming over from Elizabeth's channel! ☺ That is a great suggestion with the spray starch! Life IS too short - you're right. Have a great week!
You’re a natural. Enjoyed your video. Found you by searching WIP parade because I enjoy those. My favorite color is green and the stocking stitches are new to me too and I purchased pattern book and have stitched the first 2. I am a long time quilter and have cross stitched for about 4 years
Hi Debbie! Thank you for watching - I'm so glad you found my channel! Sounds like we have a lot in common ☺
Great first video! It is very apparent that you love this craft/hobby. I enjoy seeing and hearing your enthusiasm in what you stitch. Looking forward to video #2. Keep smiling….it’s contagious 😃
Thanks, Tracy 😄
Great video, enjoyed seeing all of your projects! You have to be happy with your stitching. If the fabric is annoying you, change it. I’ve been restarting some due to fabric.
That seems to be the consensus! Thank you for watching ☺
Caitlin!! CONGRATULATIONS!! Excellent first video! Thank you for the sweet mention. We are definitely in this together 🥰 Loved seeing your beautiful smile, and stitching perfection! I am looking forward to seeing your next video. Happy stitching dear friend!♥️🪡🧵
You are the sweetest. Thank you, Ruth 💕
Hi Caitlin! I love your video and your stitching. I met you at the DVHSG spring retreat. So nice to see you here. I look forward to watching your next video! Congrats!
Hi Ellen! Thank you so much for watching ☺
On October 17th, maybe you could organize a trade ? Choose a new linen you would rather have it on and ask someone to restitch the top for you and trade tips + enough linen to finish the project ? Thank you so much for sharing....such a great first flosstube. Looking forward to many more. Happy Stitching -Kimberly
Thank you, Kimberly! That’s a fun idea to get it restarted 😄
CAITLINNNNN! We've epically failed our grand plans, too! Hahahha. We are both still on the top row of the princesses. One day we will get there but don't worry, life has happened to us all 😂😂 Happy to see you and can't wait to see you in person in a few weeks! ❤
Ha! So glad it's not just me. Thank you for watching, and I'll see you so soon!!
What a wonderful first video! So happy to see your face on my tv and in real life in ONE WEEK! 🥰
Thank you so much 🥰🥰 Can’t wait to see you!
Congrats on your first video! I'm so in awe of anyone who can do this. Love that RBG bag :)
I’m so glad to see you on here!!!!! Great job !!!
Thanks Tammy ☺️
My daughter just moved to DE. You are a natural in front of the camera. I would cut my losses on the block. Finish what you did into something to enjoy and restart on fabric you love! Life is too short to struggle with our hobby!
Thank you! Welcome to DE to your daughter ☺ That's a good idea of finishing the partial piece into something!
Hiiiii!
Hi! Thank you for watching ☺ That is hilarious about Zack - I think about that scene too! So funny 😆
Hello from Arizona! Loved your first flosstube and congratulations on all your project progress. It's so interesting to hear where you have traveled to. Who did you go to Needlework Market with? Just curious... Can't wait to see your future videos, Michelle
Terrific first Flosstube!! I enjoyed seeing all of your WIP's. Looking forward to seeing your future videos. Thanks!!
Fabulous 1st flosstube, congrats on your channel! 😊
So glad you started a Flosstube! You have some many beautiful WIPs! And you seemed very comfortable and natural in front of the camera. A great first video!
Thank you, Katie! ☺
Welcome to flosstube. You have some lovely pieces
Thank you for such a wonderful video! I loved seeing your projects. I am planning to go to the Shepherd’s Needlein Little Rock, ar for a daytime retreat. I will be looking for some of your patterns. I look forward to seeing your next video!
Thank you! I hope you have the best time at the Shepherd's Needle - that shop is on my bucket list 😄
Hey Caitlin! Congratulations on your first floss tube! I’m one of the Beths that sat at your table at the Salty Yarns retreat. Loved seeing all your WIPS and look forward to your next video and to hear about Stitchcon.
Thanks, Beth! So good to hear from you and thank you for watching ☺
Congratulations on your first flosstube Caitlin! Great job!
Thank you so much, Marnie! 😃
Really great 1st, looking forward to your journey. Congratulations.
Welcome to flosstube from Ontario Canada. I enjoy the flow of your chatting. Yesterday the Stitching Scottie and I started a stitch-a-long with the mini Christmas stockings….i hope you will join us as we stitch and finish this project.
Hello! Thank you for watching ☺ and thanks for the info on the SAL! That's a great idea - I'll check it out!
Could you start over, but use what you have stitched as a pillow? For me if something is stressful get rid of it 🤗
You did it!! Well done! Love your channel.
I would restitution the HOD irish block party. I have all of the Petal Pusher cows lol.
Can't wait to see you soon! Your table mate, Jen 😊
Thank you so much ☺ So funny you have all the cow patterns! Petal Pusher does such cute stuff 🐷🐮 Can't wait to see you so soon!!
Caitlyn! You mentioned going to The Stitchery Nook in Iowa! That is my cross stitch shop!! We live about 40 min from there. There are the best! How cool!! ❤I love your Floss Tube and look forward to many more! 😊
Yes! That shop is the best 😃 I lived in Independence, IA when I first really got back into stitching, and the days I traveled to Osage were some of my favorites 😍 Thanks for watching!
Love your first video! I collect Nativity charts, too. I try to stitch one per year, but I don’t always accomplish that. I stitch the Nativity Row and al working on the Stoney Creek one. I have some other various ones completed, too! I like your Monticello chart, so I might have to try to find that one. I love baby stories, so if you ever want to share your miracle story, I will listen 🥰🥰. Congratulations on your daughter 💕💕.
Thank you so much! I love the idea of a nativity chart each year 😀
Great first video
Greetings from Nova Scotia in Canada! I really enjoyed your WIP parade and seeing some patterns I haven’t seen before. Great job on your first Flosstube. I subscribed so I don’t miss your next one!
Thank you, Lisa! 🤗
Congratulations on joining flosstube! You did a great job. Total natural! I'd restart the Block Party. Find a better fabric and it'll be done in no time. I love the Embroiderer's Treasures! I'll be at Weekend B again!🎉🎉🎉
Can't wait to see you at Weekend B 😃 Thanks for watching, Candace!
Nice stitching!
Hello Caitlin. I turned on uTube this morning and there you were. Congratulations on doing your first video. You did a wonderful job. Can’t wait to see more. You are so right…even one stitch is more than you had. So glad I found you.
Hi Jane! Thank you so much for your kind words, and thanks for watching! :)
Love your video and your work.
(I think the large dog is a horse.)
Thank you so much!! Ahh, a horse - that makes so much more sense 🤪
Wonderful first video Caitlin! I look forward to keeping up with you and your projects! 🥰
Thanks Elizabeth :)
Hi Caitlin, lovely to meet you and spend some time watching your first video.
You are a natural with flosstube and have some wonderful projects in your WIP pile.
Look forward to watching your next video.
Take care and happy stitching 🌷🌷 from Judy in New Zealand FT An Aussie in a Kiwi world
Hi Judy! Thank you so much for watching ☺and thank you for your sweet compliments.
Yay Caitlin!!🎉
Thoroughly enjoyed your first video. You did an excellent job. I look forward to your future videos. I love the I Heard The Bells on 40ct with two strands. It is beautiful. Happy Stitching!
Thank you!! I love how it looks, too, and can't wait to finish it up :)
I to bought even weave from Joann’s. After I stitched about an 1/8 of chart I realized it was not a true “even” weave. I feel your pain. I’ll restart it sometime. great flosstube!
Hmmm, now we know! Thank you for watching ☺
👏🏻 congratulations! I also am doing the 17th and had to restart because of the fabric. Aaarrgh! Great job on your first video!
Glad it's not just me 😆 Thank you for watching!
Enjoyed your first video!
🎉I am so excited you started a channel! Wonderful job, you are a natural and I love all your projects🩷
Thank you so much!! :)
Welcome and look forward to seeing your progress on your projects. Happy crafting
Thank you so much!!
Loved your first video!! Looking forward to more. I’ll be at Stitch-con weekend B so I’ll be looking for you 😊
Yay! Thank you for watching ☺
Live your first floss tube. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!!
Hi from the North East of England. Enjoyed your video very much keep them coming :)
Thank you so much!! 😃
Welcome to flosstube 🎉🎉🎉🎊 lovely projects ❤
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Hi, Caitlin! So nice to meet you. I really enjoyed your first video. ☺️
Meline
Hi Meline! Thank you so much for watching ☺️☺️
Yay so excited that you’re sharing your stitching! I say restart the Hands on Design piece. You should enjoy your stitching, not make it feel like eating your vegetables.
Thank you for watching ☺️ I’ll start looking for a replacement fabric soon! Love your vegetable analogy 😂
OMG WHERE IN DEL??? Lived my whole life here. Won’t say how many years but let’s just say substantial?!
I’m in Wilmington! Where are you? So glad to hear of other DE folk ☺️
I just found your flosstube and really enjoyed it as we have some similarities! I live in Iowa, the closest needlwork shop is The Stitchery Nook, about an hour away from me and Silver Creek Samplers Christmas List and Bent Creek's Nativity are on my wish list! I used to only buy kits from Wal Mart as well, my Grandma started me stitching and walking into The Stitchery Nook my brain exploded lol! Right now I am working on Stitchrovia's This Kitchen is Made for Dancing and trying to patiently wait to start My Little Minnow by Autumn Creek and Tea Rex by Silver Creek Samplers (which I just picked up Tea Rex and got it all kitted up at The Stitchery Nook on Friday!). Looking forward to watching more of your videos
We have so much in common! The Stitchery Nook is one of my all-time favorite shops. I was living in Independence, IA when I really fell back into cross stitching, and my first trip to that shop was like a dream. Liz and Sherry are the best, and I miss shopping there in person. Thank you so much for watching, Heidi, and enjoy those new starts 😍
@@stitchreadrepeat Lol and in continuing to watch your video realizing how much we really do have in common! I do daycare for a five (almost 6 year old) and a two year old and my sister in law and her family, one brother in law and his wife, and soon to be my mother and father in law live in Missouri, about half an hour from the Arkansas border about 4 hours straight south of St. Louis and we just got back from visiting everyone there! My husband's family is from Bucks County, PA and I've been out there twice for family reunions. Independence, Iowa is only an hour and a half from me! Too bad you aren't living there yet! Wishing I could visit The Stitchery Nook more often but my bank wouldn't like that either lol! Loving all your wips and you're making my wish list longer lol!
@@Heidi7828 Love hearing about all our connections! Such a small world ☺
Great video. I subscribed. Honestly, even though I've made a few project bags, my favorite day-to-day bags are made by Ziploc.
Yes!! Ziploc never disappoints 😆
Your first video was a great success. I love everything you are stitching and am looking forward to seeing more. I have an aunt who was a pig farmer as well! I always had the best times out there during summer vacations.
Thank you for watching! And oh, how fun - I bet those are great memories 🐷
Hi Caitlin, congratulations on your first flosstube. Where in Delaware are you? I am in Claymont and there are not many people that I have found in Delaware, so it nice to know someone else from Delaware.
Hi Jean! Thank you for watching :) I live in Wilmington, near Prices Corner. What a small world! Do you have Instagram? I'm @stitchreadrepeat there, too; please send me a dm and we can chat more 😀
Being the fabric would be on the side why not find a fabric you like that is similar to the top.
That's a good idea! I'll see what I can find ☺
Maybe you could just stitch an initial in the center of your block and not do the rest of the actual stitch.
That's a great idea! ☺
This was such a treat! I'm so glad you decided to take the Flosstube plunge, Caitlin, and I can't wait for your next video!
Debi (hodgepodge.and.miscellany)
Thank you, Debi! I'm excited to be here, and I appreciate your support :)
