Flosstube: (Re)introduction, WIPs, and new SAL announcement

It’s been so long since I’ve truly been on Flosstube that I thought I would do a (re)introduction. I’ll share a little bit about myself and how Stitching Book Club came to be, and then I’ll share some of my WIPs with you including our next mystery SAL!

I am very happy to hear you are feeling better and I look forward to Emma. I have done Frankenstein, Christmas Carol, Chronicles of Narnia, and Anne of Green Gables and all turned out wonderfully!
I enjoy your designs but it will be nice to have a simpler design for the busy summer. Regards!

Love your video Kristin, so calming! And a great (re)introduction : ) I'm so excited to read and stitch Emma with you. And to start getting your newsletter- and also go back and read the previous ones. Thank you for creating and sharing!

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you found my video calming. I look forward to stitching with you! ❤️

I enjoyed watching your (re)introduction and seeing your WIPS. I am heading over to checkout your website.🪡

Thanks for the reintroduction. I found you through your Temperature SAL last year. It's very reassuring to know that I'm at the same level of completion as you. And hearing your comments about the color changes helps too. We'll get them done sooner rather than later!!

Thank you for watching! It’s reassuring to me too that I am not the only one with an incomplete temperature SAL! ❤️

Thanks for the reintroduction as I have just found you. As an other misplace Montana born and raised there, I was excited to here your story and the back ground for your site. I'll be keeping an eye out for future posting. You have another subscriber.

Thank you! I’m so happy to have you joining me. I miss my childhood home in Montana so much! But I can do without those winters 🥶

Love your new website. Anne of Green Gables was the first chart of yours that I stitched. Looking forward to the new SAL and stitching some of your previous designs.

Love the website, looking forward to the new Sal. Love Jane Austen!

I just found your video. I am going to look into joining your next SAL. Believe it or not I am 82 and have never read any classics. I never read as a child. Did not realize until I became an adult that I had ADD. I do not take medication. Just force myself to focus. I have two questions. Why do you split your thread when making your x’s? I have never seen that before and I have been stitching for 30+ years. Also I am strictly an Aida stitcher and was wondering if you are also.

[@sapphiremountainhandcrafts3319]

Hello and welcome! I’m so happy you are thinking about joining my next SAL. Emma is an excellent one to start with. Splitting your thread is known as railroading. It helps to prevent twisting of the floss and helps your finished stitches look plump therefore creating better coverage. I plan to do a tutorial on railroading at some point but simply haven’t gotten around to it yet. It definitely slows down stitching but makes such a difference. I love stitching on Aida and will typically pick Aida for most projects. But sometimes certain designs just have me reaching for evenweave. In fact, I am stitching Emma on evenweave. I talked more in-depth about my fabric choices in my October 2023 Newsletter. You can read that article by going to StitchingBookClub.com and clicking on the Periodicals tab. ❤️
