Gallery showing of some of the smalls exchanged at the Library Stitchers retreat. Augusta, Maine. April 2024.
Thanks for sharing the smalls! So many wonderful ideas and finishes!
I found it very motivating ❤️
Thanks for sharing all the adorable retreat “ smalls “ and this has got me motivated to pull out my fabric stash and get myself some FFO’s ! 🥰🇨🇦🌺
Has anyone told you that your are a treasure? Every time I see your face on my Flosstube Feed, I smile and go immedately to your most recent video. BUT, I have started watching all of your flosstubes from the beginning, but I have a long way to go. Love all that you share, it's enabling, and there is a reason God won't let me move to Maine -- Trouble with a capital "T" -- that's what we'd get into. Lots of trouble. 🤣🤣🤣
Awwww! But trouble is FUN😂Just back from my vacation and so much to share! So glad you like the channel 🤗❤️
Loved seeimg all those smalls! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. Such adorable projects.
Makes me want to finish something ❤️
@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher Me too. I have lots of finished pieces that are not FFO.

I’m H O M E❤️Had an amazing time😌
I love looking at smalls.
They really motivate me🤗
Thank you Sarah. Inspiring. Hope you’re having a great trip. 😊
It was amazing 🥲
awesome video. I love all the very talented people and their smalls. Helen D does have a tut on making floss braid. I haven't tried it yet but she makes it look really easy.
I’m definitely going to check it out! Would be nice to have matching cording ❤️
Great video!! I so lovvve the smalls!!!!
Makes me wanna do a finish ❤️🤗
I would love to go to a retreat and see all the goodies! Thanks for the inspiration! Hope you're having a wonderful trip to Germany.
We back and exhausted but it was AMAZING! Just got home and turned around to go to another retreat in Greenville, Maine at Lakeside 🧵Stitches. 🤗
Thank you for sharing the beautiful smalls gifts and finishes. Everyone is so talented. Great ideas for finishing.
I'm sure you are enjoying your trip. Can't wait to hear about it. ❤
It’s motivating me to finish some things❤️I’m home and have so much to share 😄
Thank you so much for these prerecorded videos. I look so forward to spending Monday morning with you. Hope your vacation was fun and your travels were safe!
We had an amazing time! So much to share in upcoming videos ❤️
A biscornu would be a perfect project for you since it is all hand stitched. Nichol Spohr just did a finishing tutorial you should watch. I hope you are having a wonderful time in Germany and have a safe trip home! 🙏🙏🙏
I’m back🤗Had an amazing time❤️definitely going to find the perfect biscornu pattern 😌
Thanks for all the ideas. Hope your trip is (was) wonderful and travel was smooth. Biscornou are not hard. The trick is to backstitch around the edge of both sides, with exactly the same number of stitches on all 8 sides (4×2) . You will be amazed!
I’m going to go through my piles and pick one❤️🤗
I know that you are in Germany now and , as an European, I cannot wait for your next video from your trip, but I cannot help myself to comment on this video as well.
Thank you so much for posting this one, a lot of inspiration for me. I especially loved the daisy and the tiny floral pillow, the biscornu and, of course, the tiny bird with its hat and scarf. I even saved this video in my list, it gave me many ideas.
As for the braided finishing around the pollow, it is called cording and yes, you find find tutorial made by Helen D and by Vonna P., but you will find also a tutorial with how you can do it without any special tools, because the two lovely ladies use a special hook for doing their cording.
Thank you! I need to learn how to do cording☺️I’m back and have so much to share❤️
Great video! Thank you for making sure we had you to watch while you were away! Pray you are having safe, fun travels!
I’m B A C K😂 New content on its way❤Lotta stuff to share!

Thank you! I’m back and have so much to share ❤️
That was so interesting with great finishing ideas x
Thank you! Hope to show some more finishing ideas soon😀
Hi Sarah! The Hello Spring on the wooden board was stitched by me! It is called All Things Spring by Erin Elizabeth from the spring issue of Just Keep Stitching.
You also showed the small I received. It was I Love Fall Most of All by Primrose Cottage Stitches. I loved looking at them all again. Hope your trip was wonderfully fun! Tina
Loved it!!!! 😍 Sure hope you signed it somewhere 🤗
@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher sure did! I used my Cricut to sign the back of the board! 😝
Wow! Talk about the universe sending me what I ask for.
I’m going to do a virtual retreat and need to make a smalls. Had no idea what to expect - you pop up on my feed from the algorithm Gods and boom 💥 I have my idea! ❤
Thanks! Hope you’re loving Germany!

The smalls are so inspiring! I have ideas for finishing too❤️
The farmers attic carries the daisy pattern. They also have a lamb pulling a cart of daisies.
It’s so cute! On my wish list 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I just made my first biscornu today. It's not hard at all. It's all hand sewn so it's right up your alley. I want to make another one right away. Give it a try, so many great charts and you can use any design that is square. I watched several videos before starting. The hardest part for me was putting the buttons on.
I’m feeling better about it❤️Now to find a pattern ☺️
Speaking of picking up things from dollar tree for your cross stitch! I’ve seen for the past few years the sleds with greenery on it for Christmas. I picked up several last years to cross stitch Santa’s to put on them. I know they are plastic a $1.25 is a great price when sledding Santa by JBW designs is $8.00. I’m happy
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I feel a trip to the Dollar Tree in my future. Haven’t hunted there in awhile 😏
Loving this smalls exchange video ! The chart is Daisy by Rovaris. I found it at 123 stitch.
I did too and can’t wait 🤗Now motivated to finish some stitches❤️
I knew the cross stitch you saw in the restaurant looked familiar but I wasnt sure where I had seen it. Today I was looking through some stash and found it. It is in Cross Stitch and Country Crafts October 1992 issue. I will gladly send it if you want it. I was recently looking for a sampler (shown by a flosstuber, of course) and had to buy 4 magazines to get the 1 I wanted. This magazine was one of the other 3. Just let me know if you want it.
Fantastic!! So glad you found it! I will pass on the info. Just wanted to know what f someone recognized it. You should stitch it! It’s beautiful!😍
My walls are covered in stitches and there is really no room. I have got me a dough bowl and started doing smalls. Pass on the info if any one wants it. I think at 72 I need to start doing a destash.
Primrose Cottage Designs.
😂My brain froze😄
Oh! I would love to know the designer of the Daisy piece too! Someone tell!! Also…biscornus are not hard!
It’s a Rovaris chart. 123stitch has it under Daisy (with charms) but they’re sold out at the moment. I have a “notify me” when available request into them👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
I've made several biscornu and they're not hard to do
I’d better roll up my sleeves and pick a pattern 😬
@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher lol you can do it Sarah!! There are plenty of free patterns out there!
