Another fun video. Fur babies are always fun, even when being annoying. Lovely stitching.
💜💜💜
You little bags came out so cute! I loved hearing about the retreat. You two crack me up with the sisterly way you interact.
28 seconds in and Im already crying laughing:) I just love you people! 😊
The retreat sounded amazing! Thanks for sharing, it’s always fun to see the retreat conference room and the exchanges. So many talented friends. ❤
I'm like Nancy. I want the invitation, I want to go, but when the time to go comes....I just want to stay home. I'm more the collector than the doer! I have many quilt kits & cross stitch patterns kitted up, but I'm a slow stitcher who is happy watching Floss Tubers.🤪
Love watching you ladies. Spring in the garden is the best season
Thanks for watching! You never know what you are going to get from us! 😉
The retreat was wonderful. I am so thrilled I got to meet you both. ❤
Beads, beads, beads, beads🤗. Really enjoy you two!
Spring has sprung! 💐🌷🌸
I enjoyed hearing about your retreat. Thank you for sharing. A Spring garden is beautiful!
Spring is my favorite season. Great video.
Projects are beautiful. Jenny, your Mira will be beautiful on that fabric. Garden spring
I really enjoyed your videos. You both always make me smile. Jenny safe travels to the graduation. I hope you have wonderful time quilting.
Great projects.
Sounds like a fun retreat.
I love Spring.
Walker is a beautiful dog.

Spring has sprung!!!!
Hi had a great time seeing you two so many giggles. Thank you for sharing.
FPP is just about my favorite way to make tops.
I saw Deb H. Flosstube and saw your bag she got Nancy she really liked it. So glad you two had so much fun.
Guess what you two. I got to go to what was Hobby House Needleworks and is now Hobby House Landing to their new store. Wow was it awesome. I met David and his wife who are the owners. David gave Mike a tour. That was on Thursday. On Saturday I got to go hang out with Pam & Stephanie at Keepsakes Stitchery. I had a blast. I spent a fortune at both stores. Loved meeting all and getting stuff I needed plus stuff I just wanted. We are now home. I got the information on several retreats. Can't wait to get to go to one or more of them.
Wow that sounded like fun! I am glad that you got to enjoy and stitch with Pam and Stephine.
I loved the little church, and all that you do! Thank you for sharing!
I enjoyed your video today, good stories! I enjoy seeing my tulips erupt in my spring garden. Happy Stitching.
Great video ladies. Thank you for sharing and making me laugh! Happy stitching.
the garden smells like spring
I love the little rainbow quilt behind you. So cute! Your mini bags are so nice, you guys did great. Beautiful projects as always ladies. ❤💗☺️
Time to plant a spring garden. You ladies are awesome.
Loved your pictures of the retreat and the recap you gave! Sounds like it was a blast!
Looks like you had lots of fun at the Maine retreat! That hike out to the Rockland Lighthouse is a long and scary one! I am happy that you were able to enjoy some of the fine cuisine in Maine! The bags you made in Tiger Lily’s class were cute! You were funny today, Walker was giving you a run for your money! Safe travels to your son’s graduation Jenny! Nancy, what a nice thing that your co-worker recognized you on bus driver day! You are both so fun! Happy stitching!
Thanks for sharing I always enjoy your videos. Spring. Happy stitching
Love your video, the Mini project bags are adorable
Y’all did a great job on your mini bags. Looks like you had a great time at the retreat. Loving the spring weather!
Love all your stitching projects. Great video, enjoyed!
I love to garden and spring is a great time to start. Great video.Happy Stitching.
Your bags are GORGEOUS! Thanks for participating in the class ladies and I promise next time - intermission & gummy bears 😉
I have told everybody about your class!
Enjoyed your flosstube. Glad I found you. My spring garden is growing like crazy with all this rain.
I always have a chuckle or two when I watch your videos. I’m envious that my sister does not share any of my hobbies nor is she interested. I do however have a best friend and we are so close and have so many similarities that people frequently ask if we are sisters, we always have fun together. (I guess my sister from another mister.)Thanks for sharing your projects and haul. The retreat sounds like is was so awesome, in watching other videos of retreat participants, their thoughts and experiences were the same. Loved the pictures at the end. 😁 Thank you both!
Nancy, hearing your story about your heavy backpack when we flew home with your boots, I want to share this with you. I have a passion for books so when we toured the UK, I bought books everywhere. My husband kept nagging me that I wouldn’t have room in my suitcase to bring them all home. My solution…I threw away my dirty underwear every day and a pair of old jeans of his. Can you imagine me leaving a trail of underwear all over the UK?? But, there’s more. When I packed to head home, I put all my books in my backpack to wear on the plane. Now, I’m 4’11” so that was a pretty big bundle. Got to Heathrow to catch the plane. I dropped my empty water bottle and when I leaned forward to pick it up off the floor, the weight of my pack dropped me like a rock. There I was flat out at Heathrow. Our travel agent/friend tells that story to her other travelers.
I would do the same! I love books and shoes! 😉
Thank you for sharing.❤love your project bags.
Great watching you two ,great displays on crafts
Hi ladies! So nice to see you! Great finishes ladies and good job on your wips. If you don’t want to use beads on the mermaids chart but want shiny you can use DMC etoile or Treasure Braid Petite thread. That will give you shine without beads. I needlepoint as well as cross stitch and I use all kinds of threads. I laughed when you found that needle and thread- I always am finding extra needles and bread in all areas of my house😝. Thank you for sharing happy Stitching!
Sounds like you had a blast in Maine! That walk to the lighthouse is very treacherous in my book! Thanks for all the chuckles today!🫎
It was not bad. I would do it again!
I like the pink in don’t feed the plants.
I finished my pre-stitch for PNPS this spring in KC. Now I have to pre-stitch anything for August. When that’s done, I just want to stitch something I want to, not a ‘have to stitch’.
Love those tiny bags you got.
You two are sisters 👯♀️. Love Annie’s charts didn’t catch a key word today.
Looks like you all head a wonderful time at the Library Stitchers Retreat!! Love the Wips and those bags you ladies made were just lovely! I just got my sewing machine out of it's hiding place, fingers crossed that the tune up got the Gremlin out of it! 😆
That was fun! Thanks for sharing ❤
Love the rainbow mini quilt. I love FPP. I was binding a quilt while watching :) I'm in full quilt mode. I need to sandwich and quilt a quilt after this, then I am working on my first t-shirt quilt for my college kid. eeek.
Oh my...I get so behind on watching FlossTube but I always make it a point to watch you two because your videos are so much fun. I enjoy hearing about your adventures. Now that sprin is here, it's time to play in the garden.
Thanks!
I’m looking forward to having a spring garden
Spring. Summer.
Thanks for the laughs friends! Y’all had soooo much good haul!!! Hate I missed it!
Fingers crossed for next time!
I did love your small Nancy!! It was so nice to meet both of you! My fingers are crossed that they do the retreat again next year.
Oh thanks Helen! It means a lot!
I wish I had a spring garden.
I know when it is spring in my garden. When my forsythia bush blooms.
A good visit, always fun to visit with y'all. Love seeing your work - love love "But God", both of your works. So spring has sprung? Not sure down here in S. Louisiana - rain, and up and down temps. I love your lab - mine black, Deucy Mae, is turning 2 June 1st, and weighs in at 75 pounds, she is a doll, chocolate dad that weighs 92 pounds, and my kids got the only chocolate pup, she is one tall lab and silly. Orange boots, love it! Have fun Jenny on your trip. Until next time. (loved all the retreat pics)
Nancy, I agree with you, I’m not big parties either.
Those bags are adorable. I'm suffering from FOMO. I didn't sign up because I had just finished the beanie from her last class and didn't think I could add something else so soon but man, I now wish I had. *sad facde*
There will be more!!!
The retreat sounds like it was a lot of fun. Now that Spring has arrived my garden is coming back to life.
Nice job on quakers in Scotland, I'm working on that one.
Beautiful lab I have 8 labs. Loved your guys video. Keep them coming.
8 Labs! Wow! Your food bill is high!
Yes we used raised labs and my husband train them for hunting. My husband pass away last March
I need to spring into action and get some xstitching finished!
Hi y’all! Fun video recap of the retreat. I, like you, ran on “retreat high” for several days, but then came crashing down. It was worth it though b/c I got to meet new stitchy friends like you two ☺️. Loved your Tiger Lily bags. They turned out great (Nancy, your fabric choices were awesome). (I also joined in on the class…..learned a lot). Sure hope we cross paths again at a retreat in the future. Happy Stitching
It was a great class just no intermission😉
HaHa!!!! That’s right!!! Kari promised an intermission, didn’t she?! Shew!!! She is a machine and must CRASH hard at the end of each day. Sometimes too much energy for this introvert 🙋♀️
Interested in Garden and Spring.
Thank you for my shoutout!!! I love how you bossed me and I am enjoying my new project book!
😂 you two crack me up. Miss you both. Glad you had a great time at the retreat. ❤
Plant your garden in the spring! Awesome video Ladies! Enjoy watching you guys! Loved the dog today, happy he is feeling better!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Love the beginnings of Spring , where everything smells fresh and new . Thanks for the great video once again . Off to make a table topper this afternoon. Enjoy your day !!
Hello Bougies,
So happy for spring ! It was 80° in my garden today, yet I was all over three counties stitchy shopping. It will be 84° tomorrow so I may end up in my basement sewing spot under the Beatrix Potter quilt I need to work on. 🫠🙄😵 I was Hunkity Munkity~ in bed all day Friyay ~L♡L How did you say that!? Love all the photos! Good inspiration for things to do for my 2nd ever stitching retreat coming up this summer!
🎉🪡🧵💝
Enjoy your retreat!
Spring is coming. We still have loads of snow but it is melting rapidly. Thank you for a lovely flosstube.
Your projects are looking so beautiful, ladies, and I loved hearing your retreat recap and all the fun you had. Happy Spring and Happy Stitching!
Spring is coming! I am glad I am not the only one who was behind in class yesterday, making my first mini project bag 😂. Great video!
❤❤❤
Oh my gosh you two!! I’m hurting from laughing so hard! It was a huge treat to get to meet the two of you in person! Next time hopefully we will be able to set closer to each other! Please be safe and well in your travels, and see you soon in your next video!
Just pulled up a chair! There is always room at the table! I mean it too!
Are we up to Take # 6 🐾😃 Cool retreat Pics and Finishes!! Yum "Lobstah"
There was just a lot going on! 🙃
@@bougiestitchers2225 it was Fun, you 2 crack me up.
I love it when your Dogs make an appearence lol and loved Walker's singing, before you threw them out ha ha x It has been a cold , wet April here, so I hope Spring turns up for May! I am wondering how much difference using other threads make...I mainly use DMC or CXC which are very similar...but others that you mention seem a bit more expensive and wondered if they are worth it? Do they look better when stitched? Are they easier to use? Maybe you could please put a bit in a future floss tube explaining about different types of Floss...Please x 🌞
I can, but it’s just my opinion, but happy to share
@@bougiestitchers2225 thank you , I just want some kind of idea about different threads cheers 🌺
🌻🐝🌻
I’m going to
🐥🐣
They arn’t called Jesus shoes they are Jerusalem cruisers lol!! Love you guys!!
I will have to remember that! 😂
Even though it is well into spring I will not see much growth in the garden until June.
We don’t plant till June!
@bougiestitchers2225 neither do we but I did start my seeds as I couldn't resist.
Love your Quakers in Scotland! What fabric are you stitching this on? I could not catch it on the video. Thank you!
It is from Live and Dye LA, you can find her on Facebook. She is a very nice person and very responsive
The music blocked what you was saying at the end 😂
We say that! Sorry about that.
❤️🪡💛🧵🖤
I would love to meet up with you when you go to Welcome Stitchery in Blue Earth MN - I live in MN and would love to meet you two wonderful ladies! :)
You can reach out to Welcome Stitchery. I know we are going there. 😉
Yay! See you at Welcome Stitchery in August! It will be fun to meet you both 🙂
