I'll be back with another video sometime next month. Thank you so much for watching!
Love the changes you made to the Shepherd's Bush patterns to commemorate your trips! I am always a fan of personalizing. Enjoy your empty home and cereal meals! Sometimes it's nice not to have to be accountable to anyone but yourself!
I'll admit, a quiet house can be a blessing! Thanks so much for watching! I'll be back in a few weeks with more fun stuff to share 😊
When our kids were the ages of yours, they would find a book they loved and tell me, like yours, "Mom, you have to read this!" We had five and six kids at that point. Time was an issue. I was doing a bit of cross stitch here and there, but that also was a time issue. So I suggested they read to me while I sewed. They loved it. "Mom, are you ready to sew now?" And so they would read aloud to me something they loved, and their little siblings got to hear the story, too, if they wanted. Precious times.
That is a WONDERFUL idea, to do something together that gives enjoyment to all and has created what must be beautiful memories. I will have to try it! Thank you for sharing 🥰
Thanks for another wonderful flosstube video! I really appreciate all of your time and effort to share your stitching. You are always so inspiring!!!❤❤❤
Thank you, Kathy! Making these videos does take time but it's fun and I'm glad people find some enjoyment and inspiration in them. Happy stitching! ❤️
Thank you so much Audrey for mentioning my Flosstube! How kind of you! I was so happy to find you and subscribe so I can follow your progress ;) Happy stitching on your fantastic WIPs!
Thank you very much, Sian! Your videos are wonderful and I was very happy to mention your channel. 🥰
Love watching you! Enjoy your time to do whatever you feel like!
I got a lot of stitching done this past weekend, that's for sure! Thanks for watching! 😊
The golden letters are lovely. You are a brave girl - possibly on a guest bed but I just couldn’t finish a big piece in a pillow for a public area.
Definitely enjoyed the extra.
Yes, I was thinking the Mirabilia would look great on our guest bed which rarely has occupants. Just a nice bit of decor and surely it will be less expensive to have her finished into a pillow than framed but I'm nowhere near having to make those kinds of decisions 😂 Thank you for watching!
Another great Flosstube Audrey, always very inspiring to see your finishes and WIPS. Have a wonderful holiday, can’t wait to hear all about it 😊
Thank you, Sue! I'm sure I'll have plenty to share when we come back from London but I should be able to record again before we leave. Thanks for watching! 😊
Hi, Audrey! It was great to visit with you again! Those little Mill Hill kits you showed at the beginning of your video are just precious! As a big fan of refrigerator magnets myself, I really admire the ones you’re going to adorn yours with. And when you showed all those tiny Shepherd’s Bush projects that you’d customized, I just fell in love!! You have a genius way of adapting them to your own tastes, and they are just beautiful. Thank you for sharing those, and all the other projects you’ve been working on. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your “quiet house” time while Ryan and the kids were away. I’m definitely planning on looking into the Mysterious Benedict Society books, too…they sound like a fun read. Happy stitching to you until next time! 🥰
Meline
Thank you, Meline! Nearing the end of the second Benedict Society and things are certainly exciting! 😅 Thank you for your kind comments. It's been fun to stitch reproductions exactly as charted but then take some liberties and make changes to other things. I have a notion that one day I'll make my own sampler from scratch but we aren't there yet! Thanks so much for watching! Talk to you again in a couple weeks! 🥰
Psych!! Love that show! We have all the seasons and watch it all the time.
Yes!!! Do you have a favorite episode??
I love all the episodes with Cary Ellewes. I think I spelled his last name wrong. Desparo.
@@bvdstitching Those are great!
Audrey, enjoy every minute of your solitary life! I do remember YEARS AGO how rare that was. And I enjoy seeing the fabrics you order. That is the hardest decision for me to make. I’m pretty stingy with my stitching money, so I’ll never feel free to order 5 and 6 pieces of linen at a time. Telling color is very hard online. I look at the photo of the pattern and the fabric on which it was stitched and what shows up on my IPad looks so different! I do not have a LSS, so online is the solution. Karen Combs is also very good about showing lots of fabrics and comparing one with another. I’ll look forward to your next video! Carol in Texas
Hi, Carol! It is tricky buying fabric online but I feel safe with xJuDesign. I figure even if a color is not exactly what I expect, I can find a project for it. And if I spend enough on one order I get free shipping which helps. Thanks for watching! Talk to you again next month! 😊
Fantastic and amazing and impressive - thanks so much for all of this inspiration!! I love your videos. Thanks!
I am so glad to provide a bit of inspiration! Thank you for watching! Happy stitching! 😊
Wow! Time for me to get out my pitiful start on Maria Ewin back out. Yours is so beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m working on her right now! One of my favorite projects to date! 😊
YAAAAY! So happy to see a new video!!! As always, It's such a pleasure to see your progress and your stories are wonderful. I think I need a Barrie bag.......gorgeous!!! OH and that BIRD!!!! I love her!!!
Thank you! And yes, if you can ever snag a Barrie bag or something from Parish Farm Girl I would highly recommend it! 🥰
Love your stitching And video. Have used the floss from evertote and the floss is great. Happy 4th and happy trip to London. 🎉
Thank you, I'm really looking forward to getting my Roxy order! I'll let you know what I think about it all when I record next month. Thanks for watching! 😊
Great flosstube! And have added several samplers to my wish list that you showed us!
Thank you! And that's awesome! Which one was your favorite? 😊
@@StitchStitchBead - well, there are two! Maria Erwin & Rose Ada Featherstone!
@@georgiaobrien8393 Good choices!
So good to catch up with you! And you have a MIRA?!!! Amazing! Talk about a different stitch for you - I hope you enjoy it!
You are delightful as always. I am so glad you will be joining Judy and I for #TwoBirthdayGirls. Enjoy your upcoming trip. Safe travels. I love the bird!!!!
Thanks, Sarah! 🥰
I just read the Mysterious Benedict Society too! I wanted to check that it was appropriate for my kids before I bought the series for them and I got hooked! They loved it too of course. I finished the series and loved them. I love these rambling videos. Thanks for sharing!
Haha rambling, I know! But I’m glad you enjoy. And I just finished the second Benedict so now it’s time for number three! 😁
Take him to the Transport Museum. He’ll love it … Enjoy London. One of my favourite cities in the world
Thank you for the recommendation! 😊
starting to stitch with Soie des Gobelins, which is befitting since I live in the Gobelin neighborhood of Paris! Greetings from the 13th arrondissement!
Bonjour ! Et bienvenue sur ma chaîne ! J'aime bien Paris and j'espère que je puisse visiter encore bientôt ! Thank you for watching, Stephanie! ❤️
🙋♀️ Audrey, enjoyed all your stitches excellent choices❗️ Thanks for the chitchat, 😊 comfort video..I too will have alone time 5 days just my Airedales (dogs)x2 for wonderful company so looking forward to not cooking..doing my own thing pretty much uninterrupted..yeah …enjoy your time alone stitch what makes you happy, I enjoy Roxy linen & floss, have fun with yours…see ya next time looking forward to seeing progress & purchases, 🤗♥️ LaNelle
Thanks, LaNelle! 5 days to just walk your puppers and stitch?? Sounds wonderful! I will definitely be taking advantage of this time and making progress on a couple things and hopefully finishing "Samplers"! Thank you so much for watching! I'll definitely share my Roxy linen and floss when I record next and let you know what I think! Happy stitching! 😊
Girl, SO much easier than Kreinik! That stuff is the devil. Metal thread, because it's real, is malleable, flexible, and strong - it bends and shapes instead of shredding into a million tiny bits. You're going to find it an absolute revelation after working with Kreinik.
And thank you - making you cry was definitely not the intention, but you're not alone - reading all the responses made me quite emotional as well. I teared up when I was editing the video and writing the notes, because there were some really moving and thoughtful responses.
M. Satterthwaite is every kind of awesome and stunning - what is it about the black sampler? They just have so much graphic impact.
No worries - I cry at everything 😂 And yes, now that I've got a good start on M. Satterthwaite I can imagine a whole wall of black samplers!
Great Flosstube. That tiny Renoir piece is so sweet. I imagine it in an elaborate, chunky gold frame. I also like your idea for a needlebook.
A tiny elaborate frame is a FABULOUS idea! I'll have to keep that in mind. Thank you for watching! 😊
Audrey I love your videos. You crack me up. I could listen to you talk all day. Your stitching is just beautiful. Hope to see you before your vacation, but if not, have a safe and fun filled vacation.
Thank you so much, Denise! It was very nice to catch you all up on what I've been working on the past month. I am very sure I'll find an opportunity to record before we head across the pond and look forward to talking to you again 😊 Thanks for watching! Happy stitching! ❤️
Love all your beautiful projects! Thanks for the shout-out for me and Grace. We had fun doing it. I think your idea for finishing your sampler piece as a needlebook is great. I love my needlebooks that are finished that way. Be sure to buy felted wool for the inside, or felt it yourself so it doesn’t ravel.
Thank you, Kathy! My LNS sells wool for wool appliqué so I should be able to find something that works. I really did enjoy your video so I'm so glad you and Grace were able to do that! Thanks for watching and I hope to see you at a retreat sometime in the future 😊
That project bag is gorgeous!
Thanks! I love it 🥰
What a great video, thank you for sharing your projects and finishes. They are all beautiful. You finally talked me into a Milk Hill, I got the Ice cream and a tomato to start with. Where do you normally start those? In the middle? I make all my Mom’s meals and she always wants to give me something so I take that and get gift certificates for framing. Of course every sampler I do, she wants but I do some for her as well. Maria is beautiful, you are going to love Hannah Green, she is a beautiful one. I got the PDF for Ann Robertson for she has a conversion for Soie 100.3 and it’s lovely, I was only missing one thread. It would pair nice with the Sampler September one, just saying. Plus it has Algerian eyelets which I love stitching. Your bird is adorable, going to check her shop out. I decided on Dirty Teacup for Florence, it’s a nice linen and I think it will work great. Can’t wait to see your linen. Happy Stitching
I'm so glad you went ahead and got a couple Mill Hill kits! I hope you love them. Because you're working on a small piece of perforated paper, I think a middle start would make sense just so you're sure you have a good margin all around but I usually start mine in the bottom left corner. But be sure to count across and give yourself a bit of room around the design as the paper softens as you work with it.
I think you're right about Ann Robertson looking good with the reproduction she released for Sampler September - they would make a great pair! They're both on my wishlist for sure. Thank you so much for sharing, I'm always delighted to hear from viewers. 🥰 Talk to you again next month!
I love your videos…it’s like you’re sitting in the room with us..fun videos
Thank you so much! Those are my favorite videos...the ones that make me feel like I'm just chatting with someone. Thanks for watching! 😊
I love your stitching, but can we just talk about our mutual love for TFF?! They are one of the few bands I haven’t seen. ☹️ Love them both, but definitely Team Roland. Re: linen storage, I used to store mine just the same as you do. But I ran out of room in the closet for my clothes. (Who needs clothes 🤷🏼♀️) So I had to resort to rolling them into the fabric storage boxes. Great Flosstube Audrey! ❤
Oh my goodness, I knew you were cool, Karen! Of course you love TFF!!! If you do have an opportunity to see them in concert, please take it. Not a lot of fluff, a few good stories sprinkled in, and absolute magic to hear them sing live. And I definitely buy more stitchy stuff than clothes at this point so no risk of having to give up my cross stitch closet at this point. I wear the same five things all the time anyway 😂 Thanks for watching! 🥰
My daughter wants your tea shirt!
It's one of my favorites!
So much to enjoy and be inspired by! Curious to hear how you like the wools 🤔
I'm curious too! I hope I enjoy it but if I don't it wasn't a great investment. I'll let you know! Thanks for watching! 😊
Thanks for the video. I really like your sampler choices. I need to come up with my own initial signature. Two Cs are hard to do. Have you watched the Curious Crafters? One of the sisters is doing Emmaline Hotchkiss with silks and it is Beautiful with her changes! Go watch.
I hope you can come up with a design you like to include your initials on your work! And I have watched the Curious Crafters! I do love the changes that Carolyn made to her Emeline and have made some small changes to mine as well 😊 Thanks for watching!
I was at AIS last Saturday! I knew I heard your laugh coming from the stitching room!
Oh, dear lord, I knew I was loud 😅😅😅 Next time come say hi! I will be there on the 21st 😊
@@StitchStitchBead You weren't loud - I just recognized you. I didn't want to interrupt your stitchy time with me fan-girling!
I love XJudesign linen. I have a lot but I just joined her fabric club! Why not, right? Also love Light Hazelnut! Mine also got held up in the Netherlands for a while. But I wasn’t desperate 😅
Oh, I'm always desperate to get my fabric orders even if I don't actually need them right away! 😂 Great colors! She's definitely one of my favorites so I don't blame you for joining her club. I've definitely considered it!
Oh I got Dorcas also! They emailed me today about the missing floss. I told them to mail what they have. I love it so much! Their model was incredible.
I am very excited to get started on Dorcas! I haven't seen a finished Dorcas in person but when Jean says it's her FAVORITE it must be special. Looks spectacular in photos alone so I knew I needed her for my wall. 😊 What fabric are you going to use for yours?
@@StitchStitchBead I’m using the platinum Zweigart in 36 count. I have it now and I’ve already done the first row. Did you get yours? I just love it. Be sure and show your progress!😁
@@nanhendrickson5012 I haven't put any stitches into her yet but I will be sure to share once I have! 😊
❤❤❤
Thank you for stopping by! 😊
Stonehenge is actually quite boring. Stones in the middle of a paddock. Take them to the War Rooms in London. It's amazing. Exactly as it was left at the end of WWII. Go to Oxford.
My brother is also a motoring journalist who now lives in Italy (Lake Como now. Previously Moderna) as it's a lot more central to the performance car world than Australia. He also moved to spend less time in airports and living out of a suitcase. Does get to drive many prestige vehicles and has raced in both rally and circuit, much to my mother's horror. Does your husband get to drive or just commentate? Michael enjoys the Grand Prix , catching up with friends around the pits and the travel trucks ( home away from home as he calls them with everything that opens and shuts).
My husband and oldest son are very interested in WWII history so the War Rooms are on our list. We'll have over a week so should have plenty of time to do a little bit of everything.
Sounds like your brother has quite the life! My husband very infrequently races in low-level series but does get to be around cars and racetracks a lot as he works as either a pit reporter or lead commentator for several different series. He loves it but he is gone a lot! But that just means lots of quiet stitching time for me. 😊 Thank you so much for watching and sharing! Happy stitching!
Name of the book series you mentioned. I have 2 grandsons and birthdays coming up. I do enjoy your videos and what you stitch.
Yes! "The Mysterious Benedict Society" by Trenton Lee Stewart is the book I mentioned. There are four books in the series. I loved book one and am very much enjoying book two so far! My son and I would definitely recommend them to other young readers.
Thank you so much for watching! Happy stitching! 😊
The Hogwarts experience in London is definitely worth it for teens (well any age really). If they like to be scared then the London Bridge experience is really good - a highlight for my 12 year old. The Science Museum was the favorite of the Kensington Museum trio (though you have to go to the V&A for the embroidery - also the Royal School of Needlework shop at Hampton Court Palace)
The Imperial War Museum was also a hit - though that might be a more specialist interest. And the dinosaurs at Crystal Palace Park (Victorian models of what they thought they looked like then).
We really liked the London wetland Centre (especially the otters) - if anyone is into wildlife.
We found that the Museum of London had the best immersive exhibitions to appeal to teens.
The Globe Theatre was an absolute highlight - if the boys are up to going to a play - the comedies are the most accessible - but even the tour gives you a feel of what Shakespeare's theatre was like.
Hope you have a wonderful trip.
Thank you so much for these recommendations! A few of them were already on our list but you've given me more to consider! I'm sure we'll have a great time. The kids are really excited 😊 Thanks so much for watching!
Everybody wants to rule the world 🎸🎵🎼🎶🎤
It's a classic! 😊
You mentioned Katie Sten (at least in the transcript) but where do I find her channel?

Hope you enjoy!
Audrey, you have inspired me to try 56 ct. Is 100.3 the best thread to use on it? Thanks
I prefer 100.3s on 56 ct, yes. Some would suggest Soie Surfine but I like the bolder stitches that 100.3s give you and I find that when a knot unfortunately appears, the 100.3s are much easier to deal with than Soie Surfine. So glad you’re going to try 56 ct! Let me know how you like it! 🥰
What was the company the thread on a spool was from.
The spooled silk in solid colors is from Au ver a Soie. It is the Soie 100.3. You can purchase it from HoopAndFrame.com or ask your local needlework shop if they carry it. The variegated spooled silk (with the green tag at the top that I used for the Anjou Pear) is from ThreadNuts.com. Hope this helps!
