- My friend @HelloFromLizMathews and I took a weekend trip to Phoenix, Arizona to visit the Attic Needlework store and have a vacation. We went to the Attic of course! And we also did some quilt shopping and I even taught Liz to knit! Such a great time. I've also included a shop tour of The Attic at the end of the video!

I've been married for 50 years and one thing my mom drilled into me wayyyy back was....Girls Trips Are A Must..no matter how old you get! No matter how great your husband/significant other and kids are, there's just something magical about close friends and a trip with new adventures resets your basic self. You both look like you had a fabulous time....and I swear The Attic looks like a museum!!
Oh I totally agree even though I’ve only been married a year! 💖
I think The Attic is one of a kind! So much goodness! So glad you could meet up with Liz!!❤
Thank you so much for sharing your fun girls' trip to Arizona and for showing all the amazing goodies that you bought there. Your video tour of the Attic is the best I've ever seen and it is my dream to go there one day.
LOVED this video! So so fun to experience a little of your trip and to see inside The Attic. Would so love a series on shop visits in different cities (along with Stay/Eats suggestions).
This would be so fun!
Hahaha I knew you would buy 56 ct fabric when at the Attic! There’s no way to resist after seeing her gorgeous tiny models! I’m so glad you ladies had fun and I hope you do that yearly! Blessings Liz❤
I am glad both of you had a wonderful time. Happy crafting!
Hubby & I have been married for 42 years, yes we holiday together but we also go by ourselves to different places. Steve rides a motorbike, I do too however Im not interested in camping much so he can go away with his mates and Im fine with that. Now my favourite holiday is to Bali, in Indonesia. LOVE LOVE LOVE this place AND they do batik fabrics!!! I bought home 10 kgs of fabric in my carry on last time we went there. Im going over next March, 1st trip since covid, and Steve is coming with me so it wont be a fortnight stay, only a week, but thats ok Im fine with that but I CANT WAIT!!! Loved all the haul everything is gorgeous!! Have a fab week and see you next flosstube 💋
oh awesome! Enjoy your next trip!!
Loved hearing and seeing all about your trip. So much fun and your goodies are wonderful. The shop tour was delightful and now I'm thinking there were at least a couple I really Need!! Your thread colors are gorgeous looking forward to seeing those in stitches. Glad you had a good time.
What a wonderful trip. I would be so overwhelmed in the attic.
Amazing store. It is wonderful when patterns are stitched and displayed. Thank you for showing us.
You are so welcome!
Elizabeth I loved the stuff you got from the attic and had a wonderful time at the attic. The video at the end showing the attic was amazing. I am glad you had a great time. Thank you for sharing your trip. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless
Pat
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great haul! Thanks for the video of The Attic....that's what dreams are made of..... gorgeous 😍❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing your trip with us! Idk if I will ever get out there so thank you for the tour! I had to put down my stitching & just watch & drool! What a beautiful shop! Treasure y’all’s friendship 🥰
Yay PJ Liz is back…..lolo….I didn’t think i was a sampler stitcher, yet when you showed the Christmas sampler I knew i need to find that chart and stitch it….the colours are beautiful….also i need to learn to knit, the pinks and reds…wow….thanks for taking the time to show us the attic….have an amazing week PJ Liz….lolol…
All I can say is OMG what a great time you girls had. Thank you for sharing so enjoyed your video that is one awesome shop
This sounds like it was the best trip ever! You and Liz are just the cutest!
Your Floral Motif Sampler is going to be STUNNING.
Neps is pronounced like "hep" in "hepped up" lol and it is the little nubs of tweed in the yarn! Can't wait to see how it knits up!
Oh that makes sense! Both are tweedy yarns!
What a wonderful life you are living!! Going on a girls trip with Liz Matthews and shopping at the Attic!! 😊😄. Maybe you can have a Sal with the Floral motif sampler...I have this chart kitted and ready to stitch!! Thank you for taking the time to share EVERYTHING with us!! I need to plan a 2 nd trip to the Attic...love this shop! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2023!!
Great video, Thanks for doing this! Glad you had so much fun❤
What a great recap!! Such a great visit and so good to see you again❤ HUGS❤❤
It was so good to spend time with you Carolyn!! Can’t wait to come back for another visit!
This was so fun. What a great trip and haul.
So fun! Sheri, Colorado Cross Stitcher, carries Piecemaker needles. I love them. ❤
Thank you Liz for the tour and
Sharing ❤
Thank you for your trip around the Attic video. It was great. Glad you had a great time. Your pajama top looks cute.
Thank you so much 🤗
Stopped in at The Attic in February! I’m going back. THE MODELS are so beautiful!!!
Yes they are!
What a fun trip!
I am so envious of your trip to The Attic! It’s been years since I have been inside a LNS to gaze upon all of the lovely projects, charts, fabric, threads, and finishing accessories. The selection of frame molding was overwhelming.
I would have to walk around three or four times just for my brain to take it all in and then it would be like “Sophie’s Choice” deciding what would make it home with me.
What a lovely time you and Liz had on your girls getaway. Please plan another bucket list trip soon and take us all with you via the power of FlossTube.
Thank you for sharing your time with us. Target should expect a run on those pajamas!
🤩🤩🤩
I need to buy myself more of the pjs in other colors, they’re so comfy!!
Amazing! Glad you had a good girls trip!
I’m embarrassed to say that I live in Phoenix and have never been to the Attic or Tempe Yarn. I didn’t know what to expect and they are a little out of the way. Thanks for the shop tour! The Attic is huge! I’m definitely going to have to check it out now.
Your hotel is like 16-17 miles South of us. Like the matching PJs. Glad you had a blast @ The Attic, Jean has a great shop & staff. Yes, 123 has Piecemakers, Attic probably does also. Harvest Tiny Town is the newest release. Beautiful Sampler, and they do great conversions. No 56-ct for me, but I've seen her wonderful pieces, all are just Wow! I think there is a 63-ct LOL. October Mist is very pretty. October House Fiber Art, hmmm Was it All Is Calm? or Deck the Halls?? Nice Haul.
Great video, thanks for taking us on your fabulous trip!😊
Oh my goodness! Your excitement of your girls’ trip made me excited! I haven’t gotten to go to a retreat in the past three years and only one girls’ weekend. It is wonderful of you and Liz to take time to meet with other stitchers. I would have loved to been there! That blue green fabric is so lovely. If you can’t use all of it, I’d be glad to share the cost with you! It reminds me of Weeks Dove and Brenda Gervais has a design that calls for Dove. Anyway, I’m rambling. Love your video, as always. Happy stitching! ❤
Liz this is the first video I’ve seen showing how big The Attic actually is and I thank you for taking the time out of your vacation to film it! Everytime I see The Floral Motif Sampler shown on floss tube, I am in love all over again with its beauty. You showed those silk threads and I was in awe at how gorgeous yours will be! Just may have to add to cart soon😃. Loved seeing your haul of all the craft items you purchased and now I want to see Liz Matthews haul too ha ha ha! Stitchey friends are the very best next to quilting friends in my book! I do both crafts and love collecting threads, patterns and fabrics❤️
I've already started stitching it and i'm in LOVE with these silks!!
@@elizabethanncanstitch Cannot wait for your next floss tube for progress report!!😀
Great video! I love 😍The Attic too and all the pretties as well
Great video of The Attic. You need to do a winter trip so the snowbirds can meet you! Besides, you need to go to 35th Sew and Vac on Northern. It is huge! Thanks for sharing your fun❣️
Yes next time I for sure want to check out the bigger location!
It shows that you had lots of fun.
Thank you for sharing your trip and your haul. The attic is definitely on my bucket list of shops to visit. Happy stitching
You will LOVE it!
Wow!! The Attic is Huge! I would go bonkers in there!! Loved all your purchases. Glad you guys had such a great time!!! Thanks for sharing
Such a good time!!
On our way to Yuma in the RV and talked husband into changing the route. Will be there tomorrow. I keep a running list of things I see on various flosstubes along with threads I need for projects so I am always ready when we co e across a needlework shop. I added several more patterns after seeing your haul.
As for the single skein of pumpkin yarn. I am making fingerless mitts for Christmas gifts this year. It would make a beautiful pair or two.
I also have the small wool mat. Love it. I keep it stacked on top of my 10" design boards. I store them stacked and tied with a large piece of wide grosgrain ribbon. The wool mat allows me to use all my design boards by keeping the loose pieces on the top mat covered. It's great for pressing Lori Holt designs as I stitch.
Thanks for sharing.
Liz… 🎉 so much fun and memories. I’m excited to attend Stitching in the Wild next year. Some day I hope to meet you 😊
Interesting that on my tv the fabric Floral Motif Sampler is stitched on looks pink which is pretty but then so is your Just the Ticket.
Seeing your haul was so much fun as well.
All my favorite places. Did not know you were doing a meet and greet or I would have stopped by. Funny, I just laced my floral motif sampler. Putting a back on it so will hang it tomorr. I wouldn’t go with the 40 count, it really isn’t that big. I loved working on it.
Nice Haul Liz! I love girl Trips and so glad you two went! I'm like you and love tiny things.(pillows). Great Tour Ill have to visit someday!
Thank you for the fun video. You 2 in the pj’s was the best😂❤
What a fun trip you had! Thanks for the tour of the Attic - it's on my needlework bucket list to visit there! 🪡👠
Definitely go if you get the chance!!
So happy you had a great time!!!
I bought that Hoop Dee Doo pattern too!!! It’s so cute!! I think I also bought some Bohin needles too but I just grabbed them, good to know they are nice 😂❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed your girls trip.
What fun!!!
Nothing like time with our precious friends ❤❤
How fun!!! Thanks for sharing! 😍
Looks like you guys had the best time!!! I can’t wait to go to The Attic someday soon. I want to see all the 56 ct models. Thanks for sharing about your trip.
Looks like you two had such fun!
Great haul and thank you for the tour have a wonderful week and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
Thank you! 😊
Oh, how I loved this video! I'm glad that you got to go on a girl's trip. I wish I had someone to go with me. I loved the haul. Thanks for showing a tour of the shop you got to visit. It was really lovely. I would have bought a lot, too. The samplers were very nice. I saw several I was interested in. And the threads and material, wow, is all I can say. Enjoyed it.
Thank you so much!!
Going there in 4 weeks! Can’t wait!
Yay!! Have so much fun!
OH MY GOSH - Berger cookies! Every-time I go home to visit my parents I have to get a package (or maybe 2 or 3) of Berger cookies and maybe I will share them with my husband and kids.
They are soooo good!
So glad you were able to get away with Liz Matthews for a few days! The Attic looks amazing! It’s on my bucket list to visit some day!
Ooh a wonderful girls trip! Thanks for taking us along, and the shop tour, you're the best!!!
Hi Liz,
Fat Quarter Shop carries Piecemaker needles and size 28 are currently in stock! Sounds like you had a great trip
Girl trips are the best! Add in cross stitch, and nothing can compare! I’m so glad that the Lizes had a wonderful trip. As for Piecemaker needles, they’re the best in my opinion. I switched several months ago after @brendasamplerstitcher mentioned them. The thing I like best about them is that the eye is configured differently, and they’re easier to thread. I’m even using size 24 to stitch Jane Parson on 32ct with 1 strand Ginnie Thompson Flower Thread. Always love your videos!
xx, Lee
I need to try some of that flower thread!!
I always love my girl trips! They are the best to rejuvenate! I am from Nottingham MD (just north of Baltimore) and those Berger cookies are so sweet. I can only eat half of one at a time. Liz should have brought you some of the goody with old bay seasoning.
Wow, sounds like the best girl's trip ever!! Your haul was amazing and the video tour was great. This is definitely on my bucket list. Thanks so much for sharing. I live outside of Baltimore and Berger cookies are addictive. Liz will have to bring you some each time you see her😂
They’re sooo good!
Great video!! I have been to the Attic several times and hope to go back again!!! Liked all of your haul. So glad you and Liz had a great time!!!
Thanks so much!!
I'm so jealous you got Berger cookies! We vacation at Ocean City, MD each year and can usually get them at a little convenience store down there. This year, I went everyday, and they were never restocked so I came home without any Berger cookies! Enjoy them!
Mmm yeah they were delicious! Hope you get some next time!
I just discovered another use for the wool pressing mat. I can pin applique pieces to it to use as another design board. If you love your little one you shouuld get a bigger one. I think you'll find both very useful not just for pressing. Glad you had tons of fun on your girl's trip.
Oh awesome! I'm excited to try mine out!
Wd love that Attic store.
Girls trip are so great!!! Glad you had so much fun!!
I thought of you yesterday because Shania came on the radio and as soon as I heard "Let's Go Girls" I thought of your sign!!! 😄👢💗
yay!! My sign would not turn on the other day when filming this 😩 I need to figure out whats going on with it!
@@elizabethanncanstitch oh no! I hope you can get it working! Piecemakers needles are on 123 Stitch .... I ordered my 28s from there and I love them!
I got the floral motif sampler there too! I have been eyeballing it for awhile. You got some great things!
Oh what a great video with my coffee this morning, sounds like you made beautiful memories. You couldn’t have picked a better stitcher to travel with, Liz is such a sweetheart on her flosstubes. Absolutely beautiful haul, took notes and had to pause to order the Christmastide at Holly House. If I start it when it comes I may finish for next Christmas 😂 Thanks for sharing the adventure and what a beautiful shop and the displays at The Attic are priceless. 🪡👏🧵🥰
Oh yay!! Isn’t that one gorgeous!!
such lusciousness in 1 place! lucky you, i'm so glad you had a wonderful time. I have been using Piecemakers needlesm size 26 or 28 for over 20 years. I LOVE THEM!!!! I get them at 123 stitch since my LNS closed. Loved All the haul. I actually had to pause the video to purchase Christmas Time Holly House, I dont knit but those yarns are beautiful.
I must tell you, Liz, that this is the best walking tour of The Attic I have ever had the pleasure of watching. I’ve been there two times, so I know what a fabulous job you did! Very enjoyable. Thank you!
Oh thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks for taking us along on your girls weekend. Sounds so wonderful. Love everything you came home with! Happy Stitching! Hugs and blessings.
So cute that you shared your matching pj’s. I’ve seen some posts on the Attic Needlework. Be awesome to be able to check it out.
Great video. Thanks for the tour😊
Love watching you and I love Halloween stuff!
What a fun girls trip!! May have to plan a trip ❤
Wow, what a fantastic trip! Loved seeing all the goodies you brought home, and the tour of The Attic was wonderful. I'm going to have to get that Ink Circles chart with the cacti. 🏜
Thank you for sharing! So fun to “go along” with you two on your trip!
Thanks Nichol!!

What a shop tour! How amazing! Now I’m like- that’s all you bought? 😂

Wow, thanks for the video. Must go there one day❤
Super cute! I hope someday to have a stitchy friend. There’s no stitch shop for so many miles near me 😢
Fabulous Liz ❤
Loving your haul!!! 🩷
Sounds like you had so much fun!! Gosh....what a gorgeous shop!!
I would be so broke!! 😂🤣
I know, its a good thing I live a plane ride away 😂
I missed the meet and greet but love that you were nearby. So exciting to hear of your visit to Phoenix and watching your update. I need to visit the attic soon to catch up on more projects!
I saw you on Instagram...so happy for you both having so much fun!❤
I was out of town last weekend so I missed you at the Attic - I hope you make it back to AZ soon! Love your haul :)
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us! The Attic just went on my bucket list.
I have a wool pressing mat. I LOVE it. Works wonders for wrinkled cross stitch.
oooh awesome!
😍Wow, fantastic haul and great shop video. That is the closest thing to being there that this home body will ever experience. Glad you had such a full and fun experience with Liz and the Stitchy people at The Attic.
How fun!!! I need to get my sisters to do this kind of trip! 😍
So important to have friends and to craft together! Glad you had such a nice time!
It sounds like you two had a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing your adventures and your haul. Inspiring. Blessings and take care.
What an amazing girls' weekend you had, Liz!!! Thanks for sharing! It was such a fabulous tour of The Attic!!!
Now THAT'S a needlework store! Can I just say that Liz Mathews has the best smile! In your pics and her sneak peek in the video - just a sweet, friendly smile! Thank you for sharing your trip!
