The Sarah Comfort Sampler is beautiful. I've been working on samplers to hand down to my children. Then hopefully they can hand down to their children. I have a quilt that my grandmother embroidered all fifty state flower and birds with red white and blue fabric all by hand. It's a king size quilt. It's very heavy. It was handed down to me being that I'm the oldest granddaughter and I'm almost 60 years old. I'm very proud to have this quilt and will cherish it to my dying day. Hopefully my son will cherish it thereafter. Your harmony box is outstanding. You have out done yourself. It is definitely a family keepsake. Happy stitching stitchy sister.
That quilt sounds like a treasure. I’ve started labeling the backs of my samplers to let my kids know if they should keep them. Or if I want it to go to a certain person.
Your box is fabulous and is truly a family heirloom and something to be very proud of. I would love Sarah, and she would be a great project. I love your stulio, with so many treasures. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Love your finish of Katie Strachan’s Simple Harmony box! That was a lot of work and is deserving of a special place! Nice job tracing ancestors to the Mayflower.
Your covered box is gorgeous like everything you do. I love to see a beautiful well loved quilt. I had no idea that ladies quilted with a frame for their sewing machines. The quilting was very pretty. I like your Sarah sampler pattern too. Good luck with Agnes😊
Wow Christine, so impressed with your heritage box, it's very beautiful. Congrats on a big finish. Looking forward to seeing your quilt remake. Isn't it great having things around us from our childhood and family. Thanks for another great video, Kristy.
Your grandmother tree box is amazing! Loved seeing everything else - really liked the stitchy zip bag and want to see your next one without the zipper. Agnes is very special-thank you for rescuing her. She’s affectionate because you saved her and she loves your for that ❤️
Christine, thanks so much for the lovely podcast…your Sarah Comfort sampler reminded me of a family name…spelled the same, but pronounced as Sarie…beautiful quilt that hold’s so many memories…I love Lori’s fabric and quilt patterns…your memory box is exceptional…and the idea of a booklet to share with each family is excellent…Michelle of Mamma Loves you GB, has developed several friends that have helped her research the different girl’s schools and towns, she might help you with the research of the very old sampler stitcher’s…and Agnes, a very affectionate cat…I hope that everything goes well as she heals…be safe, best wishes and happy stitching ❤
Kristine, I so enjoyed this FlossTube!! The thought that went into your Forget-Me -Not box honoring the women of your past is so very precious! I love the result, so beautifully stitched. I did chuckle throughout this FlossTube at little Miss Agnes and her persistence of your attention. How very lucky is she to have landed on your doorstep! You are truly a lovely person , to take such good care of this sweet baby. I lost the last of my six cats a month ago and understand all the different personalities they have, she is a sweet one for sure. Thank you for sharing and keeping it real! Life is full of surprises, so no apologies necessary!!
She’s turning out to be a character. She’s feeling much better today and is starting to play. It occurred to me that I may never be able to weave again while she’s in the studio. lol
Hello. This was the first time watching your vlog. Totally enjoyed it and was very interested in hearing the history you bring in from your family. I agree that women have been forgotten and overlooked and these samplers are truly the only reminder we have. I love the Sarah sampler. Would like to stitch it. 🥰🥰🥰
I so enjoyed this flosstube as I am also interested in ancestry. Your projects and antiques are beautiful!Agnes is such a love! She knows she found a good home. I would enjoy stitching Sarah.
Love your box! The paper, the lettering of the woman’s names the whole thing. Oh the purr is much bigger than the kitten. Thank you for showing the 30’s long arm. I always would tell my customers that if a woman could afford a sewing machine she won’t be hand piecing it. If she had a sewing machine I’m sure she’d be tempted to use it to quilt. I would get so fed up with people telling others it isn’t a quilt if it wasn’t all hand done. I’m actually a lover of hand quilting, it’s how I love to quilt. However there is a time and place to use the machine. I figured I’m going to have to life to be over 100 if I must hand quilt all my flimsies. Love your shaker hand quilting supply box! I come from a long line of Quakers on my father’s side who helped settle Pennsylvania. I made a Quaker sampler to remember my 4th great grandparents Quaker family. The mother’s name was Sarah and her daughter’s name also. My youngest daughter’s middle name is Sarah too. It’s wonderful the Quakers kept good family histories.
I want to be you when I grow up!! I loved everything in this episode! Can we just talk about your finish!?! WOW!!! 😍😮🎉Then , we get to see beautiful quilts, learn some family history , and future project ideas!! I learn something every single episode! I haven’t even gotten to Agnus!!!!❤️🐈⬛😻You are a ROCKSTAR!! 🤩
Your quaker box is beautiful! It is funny when you first started talking about Agnes, the first Agnes that came to mind was Agnes Moorhead!!! Hah!! I love hearing about your ancestors and how they tie into your projects!!
Bravo on the finish! Stunning and gorgeous! Regarding the sneezing cat! Long story short - inherited my daughter in laws family cat after the tragic death of her dad. The cat had been outside for about 3 months due to the situation and came to me with a constant productive sneeze - what snotters those were. I didn't want to bother anyone with this and went to several vets including a cat dentist - ($1K just for that - yes you read that right). Never did figure it out and later discovered the cat had always been a sneezer yet no one had thought to tell me! And she continued to sneeze until 5 years later when she lived out her long life! So just fyi - what a lover cat. It is nice to be found!
I absolutely adore that box. It is a fantastic idea! I have so many small bits and bobs from my ancestors all over the place collecting them in a special box would be fantastic. Thank you for this inspiration! 😍
I need to pick my teeth up off the floor!!! THAT box is amazing!!! you did a fantastic job on every part of it. So much inspiration to get things going and try something new. Alway wonderful to see you and learn more about the things that you are into. Happy stitching!
Your Flosstube about your grandmothers was so interesting! I’m glad you discovered Brenda Gervais’ Coming to America to connect with your early family history. I’m also a Mayflower descendant and stitched that too. Regardless of all the generations, I don’t have an ancestor named Sarah.
Wow-glad I came across your channel! Beautiful work (especially the Simple Harmony box,) and loved hearing your interesting family history. I would love to stitch Sarah. Good luck with your new kitty!
What a beautiful box and a wonderful treasure. Love all the samplers. Thank you for sharing. My daughter is named Sarah. I would love to stitch this for her.
Hi, Christine, Thoroughly enjoyed your video and seeing your beautiful box up close and hearing all about it. Great to meet Agnes, too. Hope she continues to get better and thrive. Take care and happy stitching!
You out did yourself with the stunning box 😮. You deserve to toot your own horn for that 🎉. Sarah Comfort’s sampler would be a lovely addition to anyone’s sampler wall if not turned into a box.
Hi Christine! What a fun flosstube. First your sweet Anges who obviously loves you. She is so lucky to have found you and kind of stole the show. Your forget me not box is a masterpiece!! So well done and so special with your female ancestors honored. I have never seen an old picture like that of a Singer sewing machine being used as a long arm quilter. I love to hand quilt and will until I no longer can manage. I was amazed at seeing it being done like that then. Was it a family member in the photograph? I would love stitching Sarah with you! Happy stitching! 🧵
Isn’t that photo interesting?! No, it’s not a relative. I doubt my grandmother used one, her other quilts are hand quilted or tied. She must have taken it to someone who did though.
Wow wow I want an Heirloom Box. It’s amazing. I really need to replace the huge Almond Joy box that holds pics and things that’s over 70 years old. I still remember going thru it as a child and seeing old pictures.
Your box is an awesome sight to behold! Just an amazing project finish, beautiful. As I do my family tree it has really brought home to me the fact that women on their own merit were not really mentioned. They seem to have been someones daughter and someones husband. I have hunted many 2nd and 3rd source records to glean a smidge of a last/maiden name.
Sarah would be an awesome stitch. Your video was so inspiring today. You are right we have to be the one to record our legacy. I[m so inspired to collect all my info to go in my box.
I have an inexpensive jewelry box of my mother’s and another box with a domed lid you have inspired me to cover. Well done on your box. It is worthy of the House of Faberge. I think Instagram is an excellent way we needleworkers are preserving our art. I only joined about a month ago.
Your Simple Harmony box is absolutely stunning. I watch Katie Strachen in awe. Her skills are way beyond mine, and clearly, so are yours. I didn't dare attempt to work on this. Seeing yours makes me want to do it. I have been mulling a way to record six generations of my maternal line. It ends with my daughter so it won't be ongoing. I was thinking Christmas Garden by BBD might work, but I like your idea much better. I would love to stitch Sarah. Thanks for the great video. I have subscribed. Best, K
Based on the quilt in your first video, you could absolutely do it. It is just a matter of time really. I love Christmas Garden. It is on my to do list. Well, all the Blackbird is on my to do list. LOL
Hi Christine- Christina in Brown County here. I’d love to stitch “Sarah” sampler with you! What fun🪡 You did an amazing job on your Quaker heirloom box-WOW‼️‼️Have a great stitchy weekend
I'm so glad I found you!! Just subscribed. Loved everything. Sarah is beautiful. I'm in the midst of recording my own history and what I know of those who came before me because, like you said, if we don't do it who will? Sara in Virginia ☺️
I would love to stitch the sampler by Sarah. My husband's family goes back to the Pilgrim ships. We don't have as much information as you, but now is as good a time as any to get started. Thanks so much for your visit with us today. Looking forward to next time. Hugs to Agnes.
Oh my! Agnes is a mess! 😆 I commented on your Instagram, but I'll say it again! Your Harmony box is just amazing! It's a one of a kind heirloom! I had seen your post in the Unicorn group asking about Coming to America not realizing it was you! I have that box kit and a friend stitched it during the initial release SAL. I have yet to put a stitch in, but I'd like to get it started sooner than later. Well, another great Flosstube! Good to see your projects again!
Yes she is! Poor thing. I always end up with the needy ones. I’m not sure when I will start the Coming to America but I certainly feel I have to now. I remember thinking I should get it at the time it was released. Probably should follow my gut instinct more often.
Your box is beautiful, what an accomplishment! Your encouragement to us to also take up Katie’s challenge to make a box is resonating in me. Did you glue paper to the back of the velveteen to stabilize it? Did you complete the ‘mother of ‘ names on your computer using a colored paper? I’m glad to hear you say the glue washes out, that means any problems in mounting the fabric can easily be tried again, that’s a relief! Well done!
Yes, all the fabrics and the box get papered then they are glued to each other. It’s really nothing to stress over. I used the computer to print the names on parchment paper. I just found a font that looked like old handwriting.
Your Grandmother Tree box is wonderful! What a treasure you have done with the genealogy research, stitching and assembly. Always enjoy seeing what you are up to.
Love, love your box that you finished. It is just stunning. Did you use a wooden box or paper mache box? Who did you say designed it? We just recently adopted 2 kittens to our brood of indoor cats. If my cats were in your house that box would need to be under lock & key. Height is not a problem & we have 20 foot ceilings with a ton of tall cabinets. Always 💕 your videos.
I know exactly what you mean! Ethel insists on sitting on anything new that comes in the house. I finally had the idea to put it inside the china cabinet. It seems safe for the moment. Fingers crossed.
Love your finished Quaker sampler box!!! It turned fabulous for sure. May I asked what size linen you used? That antique sampler is a treasure also. I enjoy your video. Happy stitching🧵
Christine!! The beautiful work of the precious memory box is gorgeous ! Thank you for sharing the process and being so inspiring! I love your diligence to save history and share our stories, especially as women!! The love of history pours out of you! Hurray!! Sarah looks enchanting! thank you for all your kindness, and lil Agnes is so lucky to be in your world!!! Of course you know because her affection tells you!! Always look forward to seeing you and learning new things!!
Your Simple Harmony box is beautiful! I’ve been wanting to do it but it is a challenge for me to source all the supplies. I live in rural Nevada. If you are a descendant of William Brewster I believe you would be a relative of my husband. He is a descendant of William Bradford and William Brewster. Small world huh? 😊 I would love to stitch Sarah. It’s a beautiful sampler.
I was able to get everything I needed online. How interesting he is a descendant of both. I’m not quite finished with all my genealogy from that period. It has been interesting for sure.
Your box is just stunning! I love how you are incorporating your family history into your box. Agnes is precious! Hope she recovers from her sinus infection quickly!
Love your ancestry box. You've done such a beautiful job and it is now quite the heirloom. Would love to stitch Sarah Comfort with you. When were you thinking of starting?
You have reminded me why I started quilting in 1990. Family, grandmothers of many generations. The sampler, Sarah, would be a great place to start, by putting my grandmother's initials in it. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
Midnight, Sarah. New to your channel, was very pleased with your content. Quite enjoy a history lesson. Is your box covered in stitched fabric or paper?
Your stitched box is a real treasure! The icing on the cake is the list of your women ancestors on the inside! I can only go back about three generations on each side. I love that you’ll be “remaking” your grandma’s quilt. I can’t wait to see it. Have a wonderful couple of weeks. Oh, and Welcome Agnes! 🐈⬛
What a lovely video! Agnes is such a precious girl and she is so lucky to have you to take care of her. She knows she is loved. Your Simple Harmony box is gorgeous. Such a treasure! Your grandmother’s quilt is so pretty. Just love that vintage green. I would enjoy stitching Sarah along with you.
I just finished watching and as always, I'll watch it again. I wouldn't be upset if you did a Flosstube each week, your talent, ambition and finishes are so inspiring. Looking forward to seeing more wonderful finishes.
Gorgeous simple harmony box!!! Your historical record is amazing. Thanks for sharing your beautiful stitches. Sarah sampler is an chart. Happy stitching! 🍂🪡🧵❤️
Thanks for sharing your finish on the box...absolutely beautiful and so meaningful! Those are the kinds of projects I love to create. I've never done stitching to cover a box but I'd love to try it with Sarah! Thanks again and Happy Fall to you!
It’s so wonderful to see you are moving well after your surgery and years of pain. Everything was so interesting today especially your family history and Simple Harmony.
I feel SO much better. I’m looking forward to being released to exercise soon. I lost strength but gained pounds. It would be nice to regain some balance.
I absolutely love your flosstube. I too am making a quilt from Lori’s new book. I love using stash. Your box took my breath away. The Sarah pattern is fantastic.
The one like your grandma’s and the nine patch set on point. BTW I am not a cat person but I find your kindness toward Agnes is so touching. You are one of those good souls.
So good to see you again! I've had a few Agnes in my life and loved them tremendously. Your memory box is just breathtaking, thank you so much for sharing it. I would love to stitch Sarah, as a fairly new stitcher it would be quite a challenge but I think I'm up to it. Be well.
We often visit the cemetery of my husband's grandparents. He always says we are one generation away of being forgotten. Sad but true. The fact that you were able to go that far back and acknowledge your ancestors is so wonderful and heartfelt. I often think that just maybe a few of my stitched pieces will remain in the family for future generations to appreciate. Thanks Christine Loved hearing Agnes purring.
That is so true. I’m a history buff so I think it is interesting to think about what their lives would have been like. I’ve pretty much decided I came from a long line of strong but slightly crazy people. LOL
Stunning box my sisters have been chasing on my father’s side but not on the female side hope you are keeping your box in the cupboard till Agnes is out of the studio .what about the royal school of needlework in England would they be able to help find out about Martha love love your thimbles understand why you don’t take them away with you and lovely shaker box .look forward to seeing your grandmothers quilt reproduced.I have not been doing as much as I would like at the moment hopefully soon will again be able to do all that is waiting.you are looking a lot better.
The Sarah Comfort Sampler is beautiful. I've been working on samplers to hand down to my children. Then hopefully they can hand down to their children. I have a quilt that my grandmother embroidered all fifty state flower and birds with red white and blue fabric all by hand. It's a king size quilt. It's very heavy. It was handed down to me being that I'm the oldest granddaughter and I'm almost 60 years old. I'm very proud to have this quilt and will cherish it to my dying day. Hopefully my son will cherish it thereafter. Your harmony box is outstanding. You have out done yourself. It is definitely a family keepsake. Happy stitching stitchy sister.
That quilt sounds like a treasure. I’ve started labeling the backs of my samplers to let my kids know if they should keep them. Or if I want it to go to a certain person.
That little black kitty absolutely loves you. She is so sweet and precious 🥰
She would love anyone who brings her food. I think she had a rough start in life.
Lovely flosstube... your ancesters box...stunning. Love to see that Sarah has become such a beauty...
Your box is fabulous and is truly a family heirloom and something to be very proud of. I would love Sarah, and she would be a great project. I love your stulio, with so many treasures. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Love your finish of Katie Strachan’s Simple Harmony box! That was a lot of work and is deserving of a special place! Nice job tracing ancestors to the Mayflower.
Your covered box is gorgeous like everything you do. I love to see a beautiful well loved quilt. I had no idea that ladies quilted with a frame for their sewing machines. The quilting was very pretty. I like your Sarah sampler pattern too. Good luck with Agnes😊
Wow Christine, so impressed with your heritage box, it's very beautiful. Congrats on a big finish. Looking forward to seeing your quilt remake. Isn't it great having things around us from our childhood and family. Thanks for another great video, Kristy.
Your grandmother tree box is amazing! Loved seeing everything else - really liked the stitchy zip bag and want to see your next one without the zipper. Agnes is very special-thank you for rescuing her. She’s affectionate because you saved her and she loves your for that ❤️
Thanks. Agnes has turned into ornery Agnes. When she gets bored she starts trouble. LOL
Christine, thanks so much for the lovely podcast…your Sarah Comfort sampler reminded me of a family name…spelled the same, but pronounced as Sarie…beautiful quilt that hold’s so many memories…I love Lori’s fabric and quilt patterns…your memory box is exceptional…and the idea of a booklet to share with each family is excellent…Michelle of Mamma Loves you GB, has developed several friends that have helped her research the different girl’s schools and towns, she might help you with the research of the very old sampler stitcher’s…and Agnes, a very affectionate cat…I hope that everything goes well as she heals…be safe, best wishes and happy stitching ❤
The Sarah chart is beautiful.
Wonderful, wonderful job on "the box". What a precious legacy you have created!
Thank you.
Kristine,
I so enjoyed this FlossTube!! The thought that went into your Forget-Me -Not box
honoring the women of your past is so very precious! I love the result, so beautifully stitched.
I did chuckle throughout this FlossTube at little Miss Agnes and her persistence of your attention. How very lucky is she to have landed on your doorstep! You are truly a lovely person , to take such good care of this sweet baby. I lost the last of my six cats a month ago and understand all the different personalities they have, she is a sweet one for sure.
Thank you for sharing and keeping it real! Life is full of surprises, so no apologies necessary!!
She’s turning out to be a character. She’s feeling much better today and is starting to play. It occurred to me that I may never be able to weave again while she’s in the studio. lol
Love Agnes...😻. Your box is absolutely stunning , what a beautiful family heirloom.
Love that 🐈⬛! She is so beautiful 😻 l also love all your gorgeous needlework,!!❤
Hello. This was the first time watching your vlog. Totally enjoyed it and was very interested in hearing the history you bring in from your family. I agree that women have been forgotten and overlooked and these samplers are truly the only reminder we have. I love the Sarah sampler. Would like to stitch it. 🥰🥰🥰
Your box is just amazing!! I hope your children love it as much as you do!! Sarah
So do I!
Such beautiful things, love your box that you finished!! Agnes is so pretty and very loving………
I so enjoyed this flosstube as I am also interested in ancestry. Your projects and antiques are beautiful!Agnes is such a love! She knows she found a good home. I would enjoy stitching Sarah.
Life with Agnes is going to be interesting. At first she was so sickly she just slept most of the time. She’s clearly more active now.
I love your cat. Great addition to your videos.
Your box is stunningly beautiful, very inspirational. Thankyou for sharing
Love your box! The paper, the lettering of the woman’s names the whole thing. Oh the purr is much bigger than the kitten. Thank you for showing the 30’s long arm.

The mother’s name was Sarah and her daughter’s name also. My youngest daughter’s middle name is Sarah too. It’s wonderful the Quakers kept good family histories.
I completely agree. I love the look of hand quilting but it is unrealistic to do them all by hand.
I want to be you when I grow up!! I loved everything in this episode! Can we just talk about your finish!?! WOW!!! 😍😮🎉Then , we get to see beautiful quilts, learn some family history , and future project ideas!! I learn something every single episode! I haven’t even gotten to Agnus!!!!❤️🐈⬛😻You are a ROCKSTAR!! 🤩
LOL You are hilarious.
Your box is amazing. I love hearing Agnus motor run, she is so content in your love. Sarah.
She is so sweet.
Wow, is Agnes ever crazy about you! I’m crazy for and in awe of your Simple Harmony box. Bravo! Always enjoy your videos.
Thanks. She’s a sweetheart for sure.
Your quaker box is beautiful! It is funny when you first started talking about Agnes, the first Agnes that came to mind was Agnes Moorhead!!! Hah!! I love hearing about your ancestors and how they tie into your projects!!

Yikes! That’s a lot of sneezing. I think she is finally starting to get better. Crossing my fingers.
I absolutely adore that box. It is a fantastic idea! I have so many small bits and bobs from my ancestors all over the place collecting them in a special box would be fantastic. Thank you for this inspiration! 😍
It was a long project but oh so worth it.
Amazing box. Love the personalisation.
Love your video, Agnes is adorable. Thank you for sharing!
Your box is a triumph, congratulations it was definitely worth it.
Thank you. I know you understand the sense of accomplishment.
I need to pick my teeth up off the floor!!! THAT box is amazing!!! you did a fantastic job on every part of it. So much inspiration to get things going and try something new. Alway wonderful to see you and learn more about the things that you are into. Happy stitching!
Thank you.
Love the history you shared with us. Very interesting. Sarah was a very popular name
I would love to stitch Sarah with you. Your stitching is beautiful. How nice you can combine your love of stitching with genealogy.
I"ve recently been inspired to add some family history to my up coming samplers, and Sarah would be a great addition.
Your Flosstube about your grandmothers was so interesting! I’m glad you discovered Brenda Gervais’ Coming to America to connect with your early family history. I’m also a Mayflower descendant and stitched that too. Regardless of all the generations, I don’t have an ancestor named Sarah.
I just found one by Little House Needleworks last night that I’ll need to stitch as well. Mayflower Landing I think it was called.
Wow-glad I came across your channel! Beautiful work (especially the Simple Harmony box,) and loved hearing your interesting family history. I would love to stitch Sarah. Good luck with your new kitty!
Hey Agnes❣️ Box turned out beautifully- knew it would…..❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful box and a wonderful treasure. Love all the samplers. Thank you for sharing. My daughter is named Sarah. I would love to stitch this for her.
Sweet Agnes, love her!
Hi, Christine, Thoroughly enjoyed your video and seeing your beautiful box up close and hearing all about it. Great to meet Agnes, too. Hope she continues to get better and thrive. Take care and happy stitching!
She started reaching out to play a little for the first time today. I think that is a good sign.
@@mountaincraftsstudio aww…yes, I agree!
You out did yourself with the stunning box 😮. You deserve to toot your own horn for that 🎉. Sarah Comfort’s sampler would be a lovely addition to anyone’s sampler wall if not turned into a box.
Thanks Diane.
Sarah was such a lovely old name. Judt found your channel today. Was watching Daisy Kay Primitives and she mentioned yours. Love it!!
Hi Christine, really enjoyed your Flosstube including you, your stitching and Agnes, she is one lucky puss who has fallen on her paws 😀
Hi Christine! What a fun flosstube. First your sweet Anges who obviously loves you. She is so lucky to have found you and kind of stole the show.
Your forget me not box is a masterpiece!! So well done and so special with your female ancestors honored.
I have never seen an old picture like that of a Singer sewing machine being used as a long arm quilter. I love to hand quilt and will until I no longer can manage. I was amazed at seeing it being done like that then. Was it a family member in the photograph?

Isn’t that photo interesting?! No, it’s not a relative. I doubt my grandmother used one, her other quilts are hand quilted or tied. She must have taken it to someone who did though.
Sarah……Box is amazing! I was so surprised that I have Quaker ancestors as well…..found that so interesting……

I love your Quaker Box, well done and very inspiring. Our third daughter is named Sara, but she had two Sarah friends.
Sarah would be an awesome stitch. Your video was so inspiring today. You are right we have to be the one to record our legacy. I[m so inspired to collect all my info to go in my box.
I found it to be a fun process. There are so many possibilities.
I have an inexpensive jewelry box of my mother’s and another box with a domed lid you have inspired me to cover. Well done on your box. It is worthy of the House of Faberge.
I think Instagram is an excellent way we needleworkers are preserving our art. I only joined about a month ago.

The Sarah Comfort sampler is so pretty. I have not stitched a sampler....yet.
The box is beautiful
Thank you.
This is was a wonderful video! Love the name SARAH. Very interesting and I would love to do the sampler.

Yes, all the fabrics and the box get papered then they are glued to each other. It’s really nothing to stress over. I used the computer to print the names on parchment paper. I just found a font that looked like old handwriting.
@@mountaincraftsstudio it all really looks great!
Your Grandmother Tree box is wonderful! What a treasure you have done with the genealogy research, stitching and assembly. Always enjoy seeing what you are up to.
Love, love your box that you finished. It is just stunning. Did you use a wooden box or paper mache box? Who did you say designed it? We just recently adopted 2 kittens to our brood of indoor cats. If my cats were in your house that box would need to be under lock & key. Height is not a problem & we have 20 foot ceilings with a ton of tall cabinets. Always 💕 your videos.
I know exactly what you mean! Ethel insists on sitting on anything new that comes in the house. I finally had the idea to put it inside the china cabinet. It seems safe for the moment. Fingers crossed.
Love your finished Quaker sampler box!!! It turned fabulous for sure. May I asked what size linen you used? That antique sampler is a treasure also. I enjoy your video. Happy stitching🧵
I believe it was 37 count Russian tea cake. It is the fabric Katie suggested in her tutorial.
Thank you for another great floss tube , and thank you for the history lesson, it’s awesome , I love Sarah the sampler 😍
Christine!! The beautiful work of the precious memory box is gorgeous ! Thank you for sharing the process and being so inspiring! I love your diligence to save history and share our stories, especially as women!! The love of history pours out of you! Hurray!! Sarah looks enchanting! thank you for all your kindness, and lil Agnes is so lucky to be in your world!!! Of course you know because her affection tells you!! Always look forward to seeing you and learning new things!!
Thank you. She’s such a sweet and affectionate cat. I think she would sit in my lap all day if I’d let her.
Your Simple Harmony box is beautiful! I’ve been wanting to do it but it is a challenge for me to source all the supplies. I live in rural Nevada. If you are a descendant of William Brewster I believe you would be a relative of my husband. He is a descendant of William Bradford and William Brewster. Small world huh? 😊 I would love to stitch Sarah. It’s a beautiful sampler.
I was able to get everything I needed online. How interesting he is a descendant of both. I’m not quite finished with all my genealogy from that period. It has been interesting for sure.
Your box is just stunning! I love how you are incorporating your family history into your box. Agnes is precious! Hope she recovers from her sinus infection quickly!
Love your ancestry box. You've done such a beautiful job and it is now quite the heirloom. Would love to stitch Sarah Comfort with you. When were you thinking of starting?
I’m thinking anytime after sampler September. Probably during black sampler November if they do that again.
You have reminded me why I started quilting in 1990. Family, grandmothers of many generations. The sampler, Sarah, would be a great place to start, by putting my grandmother's initials in it. Thank you for your enthusiasm.
Midnight, Sarah. New to your channel, was very pleased with your content. Quite enjoy a history lesson. Is your box covered in stitched fabric or paper?
Your box is stunning!! Did you have to block the stitching before you put it on the box? I love your choices for your letters in it. Beautiful work!
Thank you. Yes, I did block it. And I ended up needing to add a few rows of stitching here and there to make sure it fit perfectly.
Your box is amazing! It will be treasured for decades. I would love to stitch Sarah. It is on my list.
Your stitched box is a real treasure! The icing on the cake is the list of your women ancestors on the inside! I can only go back about three generations on each side. I love that you’ll be “remaking” your grandma’s quilt. I can’t wait to see it. Have a wonderful couple of weeks. Oh, and Welcome Agnes! 🐈⬛
Thanks, Jackie. Keep plugging away at your family tree. There is more and more information online now days.
her little fuzzy ears, I'm cracking up!
I laughed when I saw that part. She’s quite the character.
What a lovely video! Agnes is such a precious girl and she is so lucky to have you to take care of her. She knows she is loved. Your Simple Harmony box is gorgeous. Such a treasure! Your grandmother’s quilt is so pretty. Just love that vintage green. I would enjoy stitching Sarah along with you.
That box is amazing! Sarah looks like it would be a fun stitch.
Loved the history lesson regarding long arming years ago. Fascinating. Also loved the old picnic quilt.
Isn’t that photo cool?! I doubt my grandmother did the quilting but it’s proof she knew someone who did.
I am also signed up for the Jacob-Palooza weekend one. It will be so fun to meet you.
Awesome! It’s going to be so much fun.
I just finished watching and as always, I'll watch it again. I wouldn't be upset if you did a Flosstube each week, your talent, ambition and finishes are so inspiring. Looking forward to seeing more wonderful finishes.
Aww, thanks. I’d like to do it more often but it always seems like life gets in the way.
Beautiful keepsake! Great way to remember your ancestors. I would love to stitch Sarah.
Agnes looks right at home! I would enjoy stitching Sarah! Your box is lovely and looks like a labor of love!
Loved hearing Agnes purrrrrr the whole episode!! Your box is epic. I would love the opportunity to stitch Sarah.
Gorgeous simple harmony box!!! Your historical record is amazing. Thanks for sharing your beautiful stitches. Sarah sampler is an chart. Happy stitching! 🍂🪡🧵❤️
Hey, I’ve stitched a sampler twice and didn’t remember. It was very strange indeed. I like leaving the black portion out. Looks strange really.
Thanks for sharing your finish on the box...absolutely beautiful and so meaningful! Those are the kinds of projects I love to create. I've never done stitching to cover a box but I'd love to try it with Sarah! Thanks again and Happy Fall to you!
Spectacular box! I would love to stitch Sarah. Hearing Agnes purring was so fun.
I thought it was funny to see her ears at the bottom of the screen.
My granddaughter Sarah, loves all the samplers that her other grandma made. Lots of history there. Love your kitty
My maternal grandmother was named Sarah and spelt with the H. She taught me to quilt and crochet.
That box is stunning!!! What a beautiful piece of artwork. I think life with Agnes will be interesting !
Right?! I’m not sure her living in the studio is going to work out. LOL
So beautiful, what a wonderful, family treasure!
The Sarah Sampler is lovely!
It’s so wonderful to see you are moving well after your surgery and years of pain. Everything was so interesting today especially your family history and Simple Harmony.
I feel SO much better. I’m looking forward to being released to exercise soon. I lost strength but gained pounds. It would be nice to regain some balance.
I absolutely love your flosstube. I too am making a quilt from Lori’s new book. I love using stash. Your box took my breath away. The Sarah pattern is fantastic.
Thanks, Susan. Which quilt are you making? There are so many good ones.
The one like your grandma’s and the nine patch set on point. BTW I am not a cat person but I find your kindness toward Agnes is so touching. You are one of those good souls.
One more thing. I just finished the book Mayflower by Nathaniel Philbrick. I think you would love it with your Brewster heritage.
@@susangroebe2917 I will have to check that out. Thanks!
So good to see you again! I've had a few Agnes in my life and loved them tremendously. Your memory box is just breathtaking, thank you so much for sharing it. I would love to stitch Sarah, as a fairly new stitcher it would be quite a challenge but I think I'm up to it. Be well.
Fabulous accomplishment and adorable Agnes. 💗
So interesting. Love antique samplers. I would stitch Sarah for sure. Love it.
I discovered you through Katie, your box is absolutely beautiful! Love everything about it! Sarah
We often visit the cemetery of my husband's grandparents. He always says we are one generation away of being forgotten. Sad but true. The fact that you were able to go that far back and acknowledge your ancestors is so wonderful and heartfelt. I often think that just maybe a few of my stitched pieces will remain in the family for future generations to appreciate. Thanks Christine Loved hearing Agnes purring.
That is so true. I’m a history buff so I think it is interesting to think about what their lives would have been like. I’ve pretty much decided I came from a long line of strong but slightly crazy people. LOL
Stunning box my sisters have been chasing on my father’s side but not on the female side hope you are keeping your box in the cupboard till Agnes is out of the studio .what about the royal school of needlework in England would they be able to help find out about Martha love love your thimbles understand why you don’t take them away with you and lovely shaker box .look forward to seeing your grandmothers quilt reproduced.I have not been doing as much as I would like at the moment hopefully soon will again be able to do all that is waiting.you are looking a lot better.
The female lines are so hard to track. My back feels so much better. It’s amazing that I can get up and cross a room without cringing.
