What a great first video! I'm amazed at how quickly you have tried so many different types of fabrics. For your reference, Zweigart is a linen manufacturer. They have given each of the fabric counts a name, and then they have a colour name. So 28 ct is called Cashel, 32 CT is Belfast, 36 ct is Edinburgh and 40 ct is Newcastle. So if you have a fabric identified as Newcastle Platinum, then you know it is made by Zweigart and the colour is Platinum and it's a 40 count fabric. Zweigart linens seem to have the best reputation for being a nice linen to work with. Wichelt also makes fabrics and I believe they are a slightly stiffer linen. It all comes down to your own preference. Your project bags are beautiful.
Thank you so much! That info is priceless of all the hours I’ve consumed I haven’t heard it broken down so clearly. I’ve heard those terms but not their meaning!🎉
"I got her into Metallica when she was younger."
This is not something I expected to hear! Made me laugh out loud!
Great first video. Thanks for bringing us all along in your cross stitch adventure!
lol! I love Metallica 🥰 😂 thanks so much for watching
I love all animals too! We have had dogs, still have 3; mice, Guinea pigs and a couple of rats. Several years ago my son and I went to PetSmart to get Timothy hay for our 2 Guinea pigs and saw another Guinea pig with white and grey patches and fell in love with him! So we brought him home and named him Patches. My husband said we already have 2 Guinea pigs you need to take him back. I said well I’m not going too!! And he said well does he need his own cage? I said yes and he said well we better go and get one!! He is such a softie!!! I would love to have gots and chickens and a miniature donkey!!! Lol I’m so glad I found your CZcams channel! I subscribed! I really enjoyed your video! 😊I really like getting all of the pieces together and stitching and watching the pattern come alive! Love Harvey the duck! Adorable! 🥰
I love those softie men! Mine never blinks an eye anyone when I com home with a new critter😂 he just shakes his head
Welcome to the FlossTube community! Wonderful projects and beautiful stitching. Look forward to more. ❤❤
Thank you so much!🥰
Hi, Shelia! It’s so nice to meet you. I can’t believe you’ve only been cross stitching since November! Your projects are just amazing! The little Prairie Schooler pillow you made is just precious! Your hand dyed fabric is beautiful, and I love the way you 😊stitch on all different types of fabrics. ☺️ Your stitching is so gorgeous. I loved sweet the story about your grandmother. You did a wonderful job on your first FlossTube! I am definitely a “process” stitcher. Kitting up a project stresses me out, but once I sit down with everything ready, the stitching is like therapy for me…it is definitely a stress-reliever, and calms my mind. When a project is done, I am content to put it away, and just feel happy that I enjoyed stitching it. 😊

Thank you so much for the kind words and warm welcome!!🥰
Wow! Are you a fast stitcher? Everything looks perfect even though you said there were mistakes. I can't believe you get so much done & farm chores too. My daughter crochets Amigarumi's. She is working on a book of 30 or so historical women. I like gathering all the materials the most, so I'm a kit-er. But I like the process, too. I only started cross stitching during the pandemic. But I am a very slow stitcher.
I have just been spending a lot of time stitching I don’t think I’m fast, just neglecting my chores a wee bit 🤪 I know what book your daughter has I love the Queen Elizabeth doll in there❤️ thank so much for commenting
You did an amazing job for your first floss tube, and your projects do not look like beginner projects! Wow! Good for you! Glad you jumped in. Your project bags are beautiful. My favorite part is after I have everything gathered and the project started, I just love the stitching. I don't enjoy the finishing, but I do it so I can display or give away the pieces. Happy stitching.
Thank you so much!😍
Welcome to FlossTube! Great first video! I cannot believe you’ve only been stitching since November!! We lived in Minnesota for 10 years in the early 2000’s. I loved Stitchville!! It was a trek from where we lived so I didn’t go often but it was always a treat. My favorite part of stitching is the stitching and I’m guilty of having projects that need FFO’ed in a drawer 😊
One day I hope to have so many that I can’t fully finish. Thank you for the welcome
You are so right about life after 50! LOL You also didn't start easy with the your Cottage Garden Rabbit. He turned out beautifully. I love you stories. Keep telling them! thank you for sharing your stitchy joy!
Thank you!❤️ glad you like the stories, I always worry about boring people😂
You are doing a wonderful job with both your stitching and your videos!!! Anne Thomas looks amazing!!!❤❤❤
Thank you! I need to get back to working on her🥰
Hi. So glad you have found cross stitching. As a stitcher for over 35 years, I love the enthusiasm of new stitchers - no matter what the age.
Never too old to try something new😍 it keeps us young at heart.
Sheila, what an enjoyable visit! I am SO impressed at all your finishes and your WIPS. I’d love to know more about your farm and the life in Minnesota. We live on a small ranch in Texas and have cows…..and cats!!! We are senior, senior folks and love living in the country. We lived in Austin for 45 years and most of that was great, but life in a big city is no longer for us. Right now I just crossstitch. I’ve done needlepoint, crossstitch in the 80s, quilting and now flosstube crossstitch, which is so different than the earlier stitching I did. I love flosstubes, and I followed Sarah’s recommendation to watch your flosstube and it was a great tip! I look forward to your next visit. Carol in Texas
We have 30 acres, we have had cows, pigs, goats, but now just chickens, rabbits, guinea hens, cats and dogs. I also garden and plant a little of everything. We love the slow and quiet country life.
I’m so impressed with your stitching. I have been stitching for two years and I DON’T do as well as you. It’s beautiful. Keep on stitching girl. I loved watching you. Can’t wait until your next video. I loved your jack rabbit. Your story’s were fun to listen to. Loved it
I bet your stitching looks just perfect! We are always so hard on ourselves. I feel the same way when I look at other flosstuber☺️
Congratulations 🎉❤ on 2K subscribers. I love your videos. Thank you for all the cool variety in your videos. Bunny
Thank you so much!🥳❤️
Nothing like jumping in at the deep end of the pool. Congratulations and welcome❤
Thank you❤️
Ohh I like the D in yellow. And that border is very pretty.
All your finishes and WIPS are so pretty. Great choices.
Thank you so much!
Animals are the best! I love the snowmen with the woodland animals. I wish I had found you sooner. You are flying through the cross stitch projects :)
Thank you so much!❤️
It was so great seeing your pieces and hearing your stories. I especially enjoyed the ones about how you selected a pattern to honor someone.
I am at the point what I'm enjoying the stitching and seeing a section completed. I need to figure out some finishes for some pieces.
Your sweater is my favorite color of green...I have a purse in that color and I get so many compliments on it!
Thank you! I do love me some Kelly green💚thanks for commenting🥰
Hello very nice flosstube and your stitching is so pretty. I guess what I love about stitching is putting my stitches in and seeing something beautiful come of it.
It is so fun to just watch it all come together🥰 thanks for watching
I very much enjoyed you story about picking blueberries and your Grandma.s yellow house. I love your stitching as well. Your Project bags are great and sell out fast, ( I tried to get one but they were alll gone.)
Thank you! I am working on another restock so hopefully you will find something you love
Hi Sheila, Congratulations on your first Flosstube. I am definitely a process stitcher and I have a drawer full of stitches to prove it. 😅. I set a goal to have 12 pieces framed this year and 12 mini’s fully finished. I don’t know why I avoid fully finishing things.
Yay for goals! They really
Do help kick us in the butt😜 thank for watching🥰
Fabulous first video! I cant believe how much you have achieved and learnt! Loo9king forward to the next one!
Thank you so much!😍
Oh my, you checked off so many boxes for me I subscribed to you before your video was finished! I currently live in Montana but I did live in Chaska, Minnesota for several years and my favorite store was Stitchville USA. There used to be a fantastic cross stitch store also in Stillwater but I don't know if it is still in business. Excited to see your future videos!
Hi! So cool you loved here, you know what MN is all about😂 I’m not sure about the Stillwater LNS, I’ll have to see if it is still around and make a day trip. We do have one in blue earth and they have a Flosstube I watch called WIPs and sips I believe. Thanks for being here ❤️
So nice to meet you! I love how you started on a bigger project. Beautiful bunnie. I agree that once you get older, we mellow. It's impressive that you fully finished everything. I need to do that, too.
Hi! Welcome and thank you ❤️
Well hello! Loved your story about sneaking your rabbit in your house. When my mom was growing up she walked past a pet store every day on her to and from school. One day she stopped in a bought two ducklings! When she got home my Granny got a pool and learned how to take care of them. If you knew my Granny you would be very surprised to hear that! When the ducks grew up they became too noisy for suburban life so they were taken to the city park pond where they lived happily ever after. I grew up with dogs, rabbits and gerbils. As an adult, the second I discovered I was no longer allergic to cats, I got a kitten. He now lives (tolerantly) with my sweet lab. I loved seeing your bags and was so sad to see that they were all sold - but not surprised. I think my favorite was the girl on the bicycle. Looking forward to another flosstube. Happy Easter!
Happy water to you too! Ducklings are adorable, but def a messy messy animal! Their poop is so wet and slimy😂 thank you for being here and commenting❤️
Welcome! You’re a natural cross stitcher since you’ve come so far if you only started in November. I love your projects. I’ll give the Joanne linen blend a try, too. I’ll see you soon. And after your first couple minutes, seems like you’ve been on flosstube forever.
Thanks! I hope you like the Joann fabric. The first few minutes are the hardest to start talking😂
Just found your flosstube and it's so great. I can't believe it's your first one! I live about 45 minutes south of Stitchville. So great to have another Minnesota flosstube to watch.
Hello fellow Minnesotan! I use to live in Burnsville for many years and now west and hour of the cities. Thank you for commenting😍
@@TheCrowRiverStitcher I live in Rosemount so I'm quite close to Burnsville. And on another note, I'm quite sad that shortly after my first comment I found out that Stitchville is closing. Such a loss. Watching your next flosstube now 😊
It is so sad😭
I chanced upon your Flosstube and am so happy I did. Your projects are beautiful. I love your attitude. Also - 40 Ct with less than six months experience is seriously dope!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Welcome to this wonderful stitching community ❤️
Thank you! 😊
Look at you! Only stitching since November and you have already used 40 count and linen and silk!! Amazing! You have some great wips too.
Thank you! I love to try new stuff 😍
What fun I've had for the last hour. You are great. I loved seeing your work. Your stitches are so neat. I'm off to find your next video. ❤
Thank you so much!🥰
I love Tim Burton movies! The Corpse Bride is my newest favorite ❤
I am Blueberry picking next week in Florida!
How fun, blueberries are my favorite
Your a natural for flosstube. It was great. Love the choices you make in patterns. At one time I sewed a lot of clothing for my daughters and myself. Also made so many quilts over the years giving most away. I returned to cross stitch in last two years. For me I guess my favorite part is seeing the pattern come to life as I stitch. Although I do enjoy very aspect. ill definitely be back!
Thank you! I’m sure you have blessed so many with all your gifts
Your first video was excellent. Most of the cross stitch patterns you have choosen are different from those I choose, except the Rabbit chart. I have stitched the fox from that series and still have the deer to stitch. Planning new projects is what I love the most. I'm a dreamer & planner. Collecting fun things makes me happy. My sewing room is over flowing with fun bits & pieces. I started doing cross stitch in Aug 2022. I love buying patterns, fabric etc. I am currently attempting to make more room for my cross stitch in my sewing room. It's hard to part with my sewing & crafting supplies. But at 75 years old I know most of my cotton fabric & felted wool will not will not be used by me. I don't plan to do any more crochet, paper crafts or painting, but I will keep some supplies, just incase. Of all the hobbies I have done, cross stitching is the most relaxing.
It is beautiful to be surrounded by all the things in our rooms, it inspires! Thank you so much for watching
Really enjoyed the video, I was amazed at how you have been brave stitching on 40 count at the beginning of your cross stitching and it all looks so beautiful! Well done, loved it all.
The ole “go big or go home” should be my next tattoo😂 thanks for watching
I love bunnies too! I enjoyed your premiere! Welcome!
Thank you 🐇🐇
My goodness your work is absolutely beautiful for a beginner!! I look forward to following your flosstube!
Thank you so much!❤️
Love your video and just relate to everything you were sharing! Welcome to Flosstube, can't wait to "visit" again!
Yay! Thank you! So glad
Really enjoyed your first flosstube. Loved the content as I am mostly a sampler stitcher but cross over to other things occasionally. Like you, most of my projects are biggies also. Looking forward to a long relationship with your videos!!😊
Thanks so much, also looking forward to the future of many more goodness and goodies
Welcome to floss tube! So sorry I got to see this too late to get a bag from your shop. I hope you let us know when you update it!
I can’t believe they sold out so quickly. I am working on a restock soon! Thank you for posting
Loved your first flosstube! Looking forward to your next one. You’ve done and come so far in a few short months. Great stitching. I agree cross stitch is so calming. My favorite thing is starting with a piece of blank fabric and seeing the stitching come to life!
Yes, I’m always amazed after I pull out something and have fresh eyes on it again and can’t believe how far I’ve gotten. It is defiantly a tortoise vs a hare experience
An enjoyable video! I love your very first cross stitch. 🐇
I used to do one pattern till it was completely done and framed before I would start stitching another pattern but this year I decided to do a few starts and find it is more fun to vary a few WIP’s. 😊
Thank you! Variety is the spice of life😂
Loved your first flosstube. Can't wait to see more videos from you, felt like I was sitting with a friend.
Aww that is what I was hoping for, to be able to connect with all you guys!
Glad I found you and so enjoyed your first video! I love to see my finished projects hanging on my walls…. So while I enjoy the process I really want to admire my work in my house when it’s all done. 😊
Awesome! Thank you for sharing🥰
Hi Sheila👋🏼
New Subbee here!
Im with you, i plan to make a video myself. I am VERY new, still waiting for my supplies. 😲
Your pillows are so pretty. Don’t touch them😂
Looking forward to watching your progress💕
Thank you! Will look forward to your first video. It is a little scary putting yourself out there, but what a wonderful community you guys all are, and you will be glad you did❤️
Love your video, you did a great job. I love big projects and full coverage. My favorite designer was Paula Vaughn. I do it all cross stitch, crochet, knitting, embroidery, sewing etc. I think I love counted cross stitch because I always wished I could paint pictures and this is the closest you can get to that. Blank canvas that turns into a picture in front of your eyes.
Thanks for sharing!! It does resemble working on a canvas with paint😍
Loved your video! Everything you shared…loved! Can’t wait to see more!
Thanks so much!
So congrats and welcome!!
Thanks so much!
You are a great! Can’t wait to see more of your work.
Thank you so much!😍
Love the Jack Rabbit, he is majestic! I certainly enjoyed the visit.
Glad you enjoyed it❤️
Fun video, I’m also a sampler girl. Very cute bags :)
Thanks! Maybe I need to embroider a bag that says sampler girl!❤️
Great dye job. Love it
Thank you!
Great video! Love your project bags!
Thank you so much!😍☺️
Loved your video, can’t wait to see more! Your skull 💀 project bag was amazing 🤩
Thanks! It is a cool design
Loved everything about your video. Great stitching. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on your first flosstube!!❤️
Thank you!
Very interesting stories and comments and variety of projects. I enjoy making pretty things with my own hands and having something special to give to family members.
Thank you! I bet your family loves getting the gifts😍
Great first video. Love your projects.
Thank you❤️
Great first video, love your projects!🪡🧵☮️🐣
Thank you very much, so fun creating them
I enjoyed listening to you. I heard about you from The Seattle Stitcher. You are definitely hooked on cross stitch. It took me 2 years to get up to 20 WIPS. I started stitching in Fall 2021 after watching crazybandladystitches Flosstube. I am a 1990 graduate too and if I would have got interested in sewing I would be making cool things. I'm happy just stitching for now though. I think it's great how you make the project bags. Total win! Love the duck!
Oh thank you! Yay for ‘90 it was good times😍 thanks for commenting
Great first flosstube! I absolutely love your project bags!!
Thank you!
So enjoyed the video. I have a group of finishes that need to be fully finished but not too many. Most are seasonal or smalls that I wait until I have a few of the and work on them at the same time. I usually get my bigger finishes done right away; I've invested alot of time I them and I want to enjoy them.
Thank you for commenting. It is a huge accomplishing to get those big ones done!
I'm new too!!! I love that rabbit!!!
Welcome to this lovely hobby!!❤️🐇
Welcome! Such a great video! 😊
Thank you for the feedback and welcome!
Your project bags are absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much❤️
Really enjoyed seing your projects and hearing about your other crafts
So glad you like the variety! I know so many are multi crafters so I will continue showing all the things
Loved your floss-tube. Looking forward to the next edition.
Thanks so much!
Welcome! Thank you for sharing all of your beautiful work with us!
Thank you for the welcome!
I do love the entire process but I so enjoy them on my walls. Your project bags are so creative and beautiful!
Thanks! They are fun and I love making each one a little different so it doesn’t feel like an assembly line job 😂
Great floss tube and love tangents. Sarahs stitchy spot said come check you out, glad she did!40 ct! Wow bee stitching since 80s and highest I have tried is 36 my go to is 32. You go girl❤😮 oh the pillow is beautiful! Wow that fabric turned out amazing! Oh wow your project bags are so unique!how neat! Oh the girl on the bike! My grandaughter is a cat girl.loloh tree too! Lol oh love grows is great too. My daughter was goth dressing back in 90s and loved skull ones. Shes 44 now though well in june. Oh duckling is cute! Oh I have done dressing your truth. Hmm I like gathering but enjoy the calm, quiet in the morning and evening while I stitch. Right now am doing full coverage for my husband and my son winked said uhhh umm when dad ‘is done wth it’ can I have it. Then my daughter was oh me too, so there is a sister pattern and I am hoping the designer will chart it soon. Don’t love full coverage all the time but some.
Thank you for checking me out and commenting😍 full coverage is on my cross stitch bucket list! Thank you so much for sharing your story❤️
Wow you progressed really fast in your journey. Stitching brings me a zen, peace. Love it so!
It really is so relaxing! Thanks for watching

Thank you so much!🥰
You are such a joy to watch! I'm not a sampler person, but I loved seeing yours. You had some different ones that I hadn't seen before. I totally have the same vibe as your daughter! I love the project you're stitching for her & the project bag you made for her piece!
Thank you! I love all the different styles for all of us to enjoy🥰
@@TheCrowRiverStitcher Yes! It’s so fun to see everything that’s out there!
I enjoyed watching your first video so much. Originally from Minnesota and hope to move back there soon.
So glad you enjoyed it! Minnesota is lovey, but the cold does get old some days!😂
Loved your first video! The fabric you dyed was spot on, so impressive.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it❤️
I loved your first video, and particularly your approach to project bags.
Thank you!😍
I really enjoyed your first video I love your energy! You’re so into so much like I use to be and love to see, it keeps my mind busy good job!
Thank you, a busy mind keeps the cobwebs out of your head😜
I love your eclectic tastes in your projects. Happy flosstubing, I look forward to watching more.
Thank you so much for watching! I do wish I had a distinct style, but my tastes are all over the place and just can’t narrow it in😂
Hi Sheila! Loved your video! You do so much and all of your projects are beautiful! So glad I found you! Great job!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!❤️
I love mostly the creativity. I love subbing colors. Using my own colors for fabric and watching the stitching come alive. Great first video.
I am not too brave yet subbing out colors very much but hope to get there and have a nice stash to pull from! Thanks for sharing😍
Very nice stitching on Jackrabbit. Make me want to start stitching rabbits.
Thank you, rabbits are so cute
Great flosstube! It’s so fun to find another Minnesota stitcher. Loved the blueberry and the Stitchville stories. You have done amazing things in such a short time stitching. I ant wait to see more from you.
Thank you so much neighbor!
Lovely first flosstube! Your stitching is beautiful 😊
Thank you so much!🐱
Lots of lovely stitching! I am so slow and very good at starting new things! Great first Flosstube, look forward to seeing some of the farm and animals ❤
Thank you! I’m sure they will be making a cameo eventually!😂
I love that I found your channel! And, the yarn!❤❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you and welcome!
Beautiful work!
Thank you so much 😀
Enjoyed your post! Your project bags are adorable! Nice to meet you!
Thank you!❤️
I'm so glad to have found your channel. I think what I like the most is seeing the design come to life on the fabric. Its amazing to me that a little thread can create a masterpiece.that
.
So true one tiny stitch after another and bam a masterpiece!
Thanks for a great video! Love seeing your projects!
Thanks for watching!😍
Enjoyed your video. Loved all the ‘sprinkles’ about your life and what makes you. Look forward to your next flosstube. Easter Blessings.
Aww thanks for enjoying my sprinkles❤️😂 I love that term. Have a blessed Easter too
Welcome! Great first video! I love getting my project up on the wall or in it's spot so I can see it every day!
Such a satisfaction to see it displayed! Want a whole house full now😂
such a good first video and such a brave lady to jump into the deep end with all the things!
Brave and a little crazy too❤️ thank you!
Thank you for sharing! Enjoyed seeing what you were working on. Subscribed so I don't miss a future thing! Have a lovely rest of your day! Felicia
Thank you so much for the sub!!
Your stitching is so nice. I would never have known that you were a newbie. Your projects are fun and I am looking forward to seeing what you do next. I absolutely love the skeleton project bag! Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful day 💗
Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing a wonderful welcome!
Great 1st Flosstube. I'm new to crossstitch as well. I find it very relaxing after a long day at work. Thanks for sharing all your information ❤
Thank you. It is a great way to relax
Welcome to FlossTube! Great to see another Minnesota stitcher! Stitchville USA is awesome, wish I could shopthere more often. Your finishes are beautiful!
Hello fellow neighbor! Thank you for the comments
That sampler with the yellow house, bees, and bears is darling. I love the story about picking berries with your grandma.
Thank you, the different motifs are so fun to stitch!
