I actually stitch Christmas all year long. Some favorites are from Homespun Elegance, just finished an ivory Santa, and many Prairie Schooler Santas. Teresa Kogut is also a favorite.
Favorite Christmas stitches: any of the Prairie Schooler Santas (particularly the earlier ones). Also last year’s Santa Ornament by AcadiaStitching on Etsy was a big hit with my family. Hands on Design has a very pretty free chart- Berries in Bloom - it’s a berry wreath stitched on light aqua linen. Also Primitive Threadworks Merry Christmas - is a very nice berry bowl - pretty quick to stitch. Your projects are all great - I admire anyone who takes on a Hawk Run project. The Casapinka pattern looks like a lot of fun - and a great opportunity to learn new stitches. The Birds of a Feather Alphabet is definitely OOP and not readily available on Etsy - so you’re lucky to have it!
Stacy Nash Christmas on Hollyberry Farm, stitched a few years ago, loves every stitch. Christmas in my Heart 1843 by Samplers Not forgotten, loved it. Chessie and Me Peace and Goodwill, great stitch! I’m working on Christmas village by Prairie Schooler, love! All the snaps from Lizzie Kate to Country Rustic Primitives. Christmas is my favorite and in 2021 I stitched only Christmas for the year. I’m thinking of doing only Prairie Schooler for 2025. I love all stitching but Christmas is my favorite! Also, I’ve stitched many things from the PNP magazine, lots of good ones in there. Have a great week!
I think we have a very similar aesthetic for Christmas/winter stitching as most of what you are working on is on my list as well. That book was new to me, and while my library doesn’t have it I was able to request it from another library so I look forward to flipping through it
Dark Golden Delicious is so tempting! I have been enjoying This Joyous Season by Plum Street. I'm starting the Lola Crow Creepy ornaments this weekend.
I love the Ever green Sampler in A Cross-Stitch Christmas: Handmade memories!! I'm still looking for the book! So far only found one for $65 on ebay and that is just to wild of a price. Love your stitching!!
Beautiful stitching. I love your pillow finishes. I've asked for a sub to Punch Needle and Primitive for Christmas, so I'm excited for the patterns in the back issues. Thanks for sharing all the fun Christmas/winter charts. I oive seeing your knitting. Your shawl is pretty. Your wrap is stunning! Your colors are so soft and pretty and work so well together in all of the sections. I love a good Casapinka pattern.
I love stitching one or two prairie schooler santas every year. I have a large santa sleigh that i just add them to as pillows. Thanks for the video and your time
Sorry but an old man (neighbor) was cleaning out the garage after his wife died and i asked if i could have it. Probably a garage sale or goodwill. I can keep a look out here. I see them now and then
Thank you for your video. Loved all your finishes. I need to follow your example, and finish some pieces. It's just not my favorite! I'm on a starting kick myself, so I get it! I'm stitching the 3 snowmen from Stitchy Kitty (a new start) and will pull out a Teresa Kogut I started last year called All the Things, because one of my favorite designers. I have most of the Prairie Schooler Santas, but can't decide how I will use them; as ornaments, pillows, flat folds, on one piece of fabric, etc. Hopefully i can make uo my mind and start them soon. I love the colors you used on your new scarf. I don't knot well enough to attempt to make anything, but I do crochet, and would like to get back to that. Take care and happy stitching!
Love you projects-both stitching and knitting! I love Prairies Schooler Christmas and Praiseworthy Stitches! Many of the Praiseworthy ones have houses, which you might enjoy stitching!
I've stitched Farmhouse Christmas by LHN, plus I have an older book of Christmas stitching from Better Home and Garden. I may make my Christmas start, Kringles
Lauren, your stitching is beautiful. The Blue Flower pieces are some of my favorite seasonal projects. Love your new knitted scarf! So many different stitches!
Hi Lauren! Another great episode -- I really enjoy seeing and hearing about everything you're stitching and knitting. I highly recommend that you stitch Hands to Work Share Joy! I stitched it when it came out in the advent box and loved both the stitch and the finished piece. You also made a fantastic knitting pivot for the shawl -- it's like your knitting a sampler. Happy Crafting! -Carolyn
Great finishes. I have the Spring Moon and Summer Moon patterns. I am trying to decide if I want to buy the Winter Moon kit. A few of my favorite Winter items I have done are Hello Winter by Plum Street, Sleight Rides and Snowflakes by Scarlett House and The Color of Winter by The Blue Flower. That last one was my first time doing 46 count. Happy Stitching!
The Color of Winter was my first and last time doing 46 count. I did those trees in the center like 3 times. So, I have been keeping with 36 and 40. I would like to try it again but probably with something smaller. @@newhampshirestitcher
I'm enjoying stitching Christmas Garden which has been reprinted in the Blackbird Designs book Home for the Holidays. Several other designs in that book are also on my stitching list. I've stitched several Prairie Schooler Santas also and one of my wips is Prairie Schooler Night Before Christmas. A fun Santa stitch.
Your pillows are adorable. I really like the two fabrics on the Blue Flower one. I'm so glad you were able to find the Evergreen Sampler book. Surprisingly that book is actually very hard to find!
Hi from Florida! Beautiful finishes and I love all your new starts and Christmas plans. Prairie school Santa’s are my comfort stitching.- that being said I’ve only done the mini prairie school Santa’s😂 - I have several others in my stash but have not started them yet. Thank you for sharing! Happy stitching!
Hi Lauren! 👏 Another fabulous flosstube video!! I have that booklet as well....Winds of Autumn! I've been wanting to stitch First Winds of Autumn for a long time. I'm going to stitch mine on 36ct Vintage Beeswax. Infant, I love every single design!! When the Leaves Fall is another great BBD booklet! I LOVE the Tiny Pumpkin design!! It's finished into a roll. Eeekkkk, it's ADORABLE!! I might just have to start that one too! Yup! I am sure sure! Whew! 🫣😂🧡 I'm going to be starting Feast of Friendship BBD & Tiny Pumpkin & Spell of the Moon & Fist Winds of Autumn!!! 🫣 I know right! Right away. For December (I'm a December baby too!) I'm going to stitch The Plum Street Sampler "A Country Winter"!! It's BEAUTIFUL & not that big. THEN!!! For my new years start🎉🎉 Consider The Lilies!!! Whoo hoo! It's all kitted up! No rush on it however I'm going to try hard to keep going on it. 🤦 Then when you showed your book A Cross-Stitch Christmas Book I have that as well. I subscribed to that book for a very long time. Such a gorgeous Sampler!! I have a lot of those books. That's all for me! 😂🎉 Thank you Lauren for all you do and show. Your knitting is absolutely gorgeous!!! I love it!! You're very talented! One thing I had to learn is to stitch what I love. That's the way I'm going. Trying to stay focused. I'm sewing fall quilts too. So, I'm extra busy right now. 🧡🧡🧡 Have a great evening.
Hi Lauren - thank you for yet another dose of stitching inspiration/enabling! A couple of my favorite Christmas pieces, which I haven't seen mentioned or stitched too much (at least since I started watching Flosstube about 18 months ago), are both by Abby Rose Designs - Yuletide on Thistle Hill, and Merry Be Your Christmas. The Mirabilia Christmas trees are also beautiful, though I've only stitched one. I have all six and told myself I'd get one done a year, but...well, that hasn't exactly panned out. :) Take care!
Cute pillow finishes & WIPs. Come to the Garden looks like a fun one, I love anything Christmas, whimsical or Winter scenes to stitch. I'm still doing Fall new starts this month & 2 Christmas ones to begin as SALs. Tonight I started HOD, A Classic Christmas, next week will be a Heart in Hand, Doodles: Christmas.
My favorite Christmas things to stitch are the prairie schooler santas. I try to do at least 6 a year. I finished autumn at hawk run hollow this year, and there is more of that corn in the turkey block 😁
6 a year is amazing!! You will have them all done in no time. Congratulations on finishing Autumn at HRH, wow!! I will keep the corn in mind for the future 😆
Hi Lauren, enjoyed your video so I wanted to comment on a few of your things...I have a copy of the Brenda Gervais Seaons of the Heart on my to-do stack and I think it was seeing yours that made me order it, I think I'll start with the winter one but I love them ALL. Speaking of winter...did you ever do Baby Its Cold Outside by Beth Twist?...I have been a x stitcher for a long time, but that was the one that lured me into the 'prim' stuff. I have almost finished the Evergreen Sampler except for some over 1 birds and snowflakes, then I'm done!...Thanks for reminding me (but I do not like the over 1)...that baby is getting framed! I also love the Olde Mustarde Moone...but mine is going on Murky or bust...I saw that pic that Kansas City Julie showed on her video and it was amazing ...I don't even care for it on the light color on the pattern....some people are geniuses with color! Take care❤
I have seen but not done Baby It's Cold Outside - but you're right that one is so nice, I might have to add it to my list! Congrats on Evergreen Sampler! I definitely want to stitch it at some point; I will just have to brace myself for the color changes 😆 And I think you're right about Olde Mustarde Moone - Julie's idea is sooo good I may have to see if I can make Murky work 🤔
Thanks for sharing all your starts and plans. Love your taste in designs! My only holiday stitch now is Christmas Garden by Blackbird but there’s a great cardinal design I want to do from the same book. Also love Cardinal Kin by Plum Street
The Winds Of Autumn book is one of my favourites, so many things I’d like to stitch. I finished Quaker Christmas this fall, it’s a beautiful chart if you’re interested. And Quaker Christmas 2 as well.
Love your videos! Your stitching is beautiful. I have grandkids so I lean towards “fun” Christmas stitches. I really liked Welcome to the North Pole by Primrose Cottage. Last year I stitched Caterpillar’s Mystery Advent Calendar. I also stitch quite a few ornaments. Those I usually get out of various books and magazines. Also try to get a couple Prairie Schooler Santa’s done. Happy stitching!❤ I did wool ornaments from Buttermilk Basin a couple years ago.
Hi there ! Nice to see you again so soon! My two fave Xmas stitched hands down are Christmas Garden by Blackbird … the colors are divine tho I did use a bit of a richer red. Everything else called for. I leave it up all year it’s sooo pretty. AND Brenda Gervais’ Noel Sampler. Again, the colors are so amazing. I have four prairie schooler Santa’s that I stitched years ago and I love getting them out every year. Have fun choosing a project!!!
One of my favorite Christmas charts is the Houses on Peppermint Lane by Pansy Patch Quilts. I’ve finished 5 of the 9 and am finishing into little pillows. The colors are really beautiful. I’m a year and a half into Autumn at Hawk run Hollow and have 5 boxes left to go. After seeing Golden Delicious Dark a few months ago, I’ve used that pattern as an incentive to finish Hawkrun Hollow. I canNOT start Golden Delicious Dark until it’s done! Really…I won’t….well…🥴
I sincerely hope I get that far on Autumn at HRH in 1.5 years! I definitely know it's going to be a long one for me but I hope to enjoy every stitch :)
I love the Dimensions Christmas full coverage patterns (they’re so colorful and detailed)- Holiday Village is the one I told you I am working on now… but I also like the more whimsical ones by Crocetteagogo. I have their Autumn Sampler and the Winter Sampler; they’re amazing. Another idea I got this year, is to use different designs to stitch ornaments and hang them on my tree. There’s a lot of designers that do them. You might turn into a Christmas stitcher after all….😊
I love those Autumn and Winter samplers from Crocette a Gogo - they are huge but so so pretty! Also love the idea of having a tree of stitched ornaments ☺
Hi, I love your videos, my favorite Christmas stitch is Blackbird designs Christmas garden. I bought only the pattern so far. I am hoping to kit it in 2024 and start it then Have a wonderful weekend
Lovely projects….I hesitate to say how many went on my wish list! I really love your salt boxes. I enjoyed doing Feliz Navidad by Blackbird Design. Def more a subdued piece but so pretty. I can’t wait to sit down with my Christmas stash and pick out some new projects!
Lauren, I love all of your projects and I get so fired up about starting all the things. Where do you buy the large “hanks” of floss for your big projects?
Hi Connie! I have only purchased one mini hank so far, but this one is a Roxy Floss co hank purchased on Evertote. I know other people have also enjoyed hanks from NPI as well as the Australian company Silks 4 U - I hope this helps!
I’m very interested to see Dark Golden Delicious come together, I love that one! I’ve mostly only done Christmas ornaments like the Prairie Schooler mini Santas. I like the Silver Creek Christmas List pattern but it’s big and I don’t think I’m ready to tackle it this year!
LOVE the Magpie and the Moon you did! I am stitching Coffee and Eggs right now…it’s so fun! Do you mind sharing the name of your colors for the Snark-O- meter shawl? I love that shawl and love the colors you chose!
I stitched the Winds of Autumn Crow strawberry - but had it finished into a drum - I love it that way! And it was a great stitch. The last shawl you showed had really bright colors in the chart photo, I'm not a bright color girl - but I love your choices. That is going to be beautiful. Thank you for the heads up on Autumn Quaker by Lila's Studio, I have been most curious when she would come out with that one and now I know! Happy stitching and knitting.
The first Christmas design I'm going to work on this year is 'Heap on the Wood' by Brenda Gervais...soft colors, more wintery than Christmas-y? In fact, I'm thinking of changing the word 'Christmas' to 'winter' in the quote, just so I can leave it up through the winter. 🙂
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. I also love your shawls. Happy stitching and knitting!
I actually stitch Christmas all year long. Some favorites are from Homespun Elegance, just finished an ivory Santa, and many Prairie Schooler Santas. Teresa Kogut is also a favorite.
Great finishes with your pillows

I do love stitching houses; my husband is always shocked when I do something with no house or alphabet 😂

I've stitched Farmhouse Christmas by LHN, plus I have an older book of Christmas stitching from Better Home and Garden. I may make my Christmas start, Kringles
Kringles is such a gorgeous pattern!

I desperately must get the winds of autumn book!! Thanks for a fun flosstube - I have coffee and eggs all ready to go! I’ll need to start it soon! 😊

That is such a beautiful one! I really need to get that book from Blackbird.
Lovely projects….I hesitate to say how many went on my wish list! I really love your salt boxes. I enjoyed doing Feliz Navidad by Blackbird Design. Def more a subdued piece but so pretty. I can’t wait to sit down with my Christmas stash and pick out some new projects!
Feliz Navidad is actually one of the few other Christmas charts I have in my stash! I just might have to kit that one up...
Lauren, I love all of your projects and I get so fired up about starting all the things. Where do you buy the large “hanks” of floss for your big projects?
Hi Connie! I have only purchased one mini hank so far, but this one is a Roxy Floss co hank purchased on Evertote. I know other people have also enjoyed hanks from NPI as well as the Australian company Silks 4 U - I hope this helps!
I’m very interested to see Dark Golden Delicious come together, I love that one! I’ve mostly only done Christmas ornaments like the Prairie Schooler mini Santas. I like the Silver Creek Christmas List pattern but it’s big and I don’t think I’m ready to tackle it this year!
That Silver Creek pattern is so cute! I've seen a couple people working on it and you're right, it's a biggie! Thanks for watching :)
LOVE the Magpie and the Moon you did! I am stitching Coffee and Eggs right now…it’s so fun! Do you mind sharing the name of your colors for the Snark-O- meter shawl? I love that shawl and love the colors you chose!
Happy to share! I am using Sweet Georgia Tough Love sock in Birch, Tumbled Stone, Foggy Dew and Stormy Night ☺
@@newhampshirestitcher Thank you so much! Lisa
I stitched the Winds of Autumn Crow strawberry - but had it finished into a drum - I love it that way! And it was a great stitch. The last shawl you showed had really bright colors in the chart photo, I'm not a bright color girl - but I love your choices. That is going to be beautiful. Thank you for the heads up on Autumn Quaker by Lila's Studio, I have been most curious when she would come out with that one and now I know! Happy stitching and knitting.
Thank you for watching! I love the idea of finishing First Winds of Autumn into a drum - I'll have to consider that!
@@newhampshirestitcher I really like it finished that way.
The first Christmas design I'm going to work on this year is 'Heap on the Wood' by Brenda Gervais...soft colors, more wintery than Christmas-y? In fact, I'm thinking of changing the word 'Christmas' to 'winter' in the quote, just so I can leave it up through the winter. 🙂
Oh wow I had never really looked at this one but I LOVE it! Brenda really can do no wrong in my book!
I agree! Sometimes I struggle to find the right fabric for her muted colors, but it's always worth it in the end! @@newhampshirestitcher
Lots of fun stuff you have going on! I also enjoyed your knitting! Would you mind giving me the name of the knitting needles you use? Thank you!!
I use ChiaoGoo red lace needles primarily :)
