Definitely progress. I always have under 10 WIPS. I liked your explanation. I’d never heard that before. 😊
One day I hope to get to ten or less wips!! 😂😂 we shall see!!
I feel I'm in both camps being a process and progress depending on the day and project. I love it all. Because I am a seasonal stitcher, I start many projects and don't mind leaving them unfinished if I'm ready for the new season. However, I usually have 10 or less projects per season or theme. Great first flosstube and happy birthday!
Yep, stitching makes me happy, that’s why we do it!! ❤️❤️
I am a little bit of both. When I am stitching on a Mystery SAL or a SAL, I am definitely a progress stitcher and feel the need and the want to keep up. On the other hand, I am also a process stitcher. I just love the process of cross stitching from picking out a chart, to kitting it up, to starting it and then the finish. Great 1st FlossTube.
Thank you for watching, I do love the planning of the next cross stitch project too, picking out the fabric and floss are fun!
Great job on your first video. I loved seeing all your WIPs. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video! The bags you make are Beautiful! All of your WIPS are Beautiful as well. I love those deep colors and I'm a huge Fall person too. keep up the good work!
Thank you! I love fall too, I can't wait to get to my fall stitching projects!!
Great first flosstube. I am a progress/process stitcher with 14 WIPS currently. I would also like to get them to under 10 but am trying to limit myself to no more than 15 WIPS. I also love the process of cross stitch which is why I have so many charts kitted and ready to go. I use WIPGO as a plan of what I would like to get done during the following month, so I fill that in after the numbers are pulled, it works well for me at this time. Looking forward to seeing your upcoming flosstubes.
Thanks for watching Barb!
That was a great video! Thank you for sharing all your WIPs and loved your project bags as well. I especially appreciated the out takes at the end! 🤪 I look forward to seeing your next video.
Thanks Denise, glad you made it to the end. The bloopers always make me laugh too!! 😆😆
❤. Hello! You popped up in me feed. I’m so happy! Wonderful first video! Progress or Process stitcher - I’m a bit of both. I love seeing progress on my WIPs along with the process of picking out the fabric/floss and then the feeling of the floss pulling through the fabric. I hope that makes sense! Onto your second video! ❤
Thank you so much!
Loved your video! And the bloopers at the ends were a great touch😂❤
Thanks, 😆😆 I love those too!!
Hello Houston, Waco here! 👋🏼
I love progress. I plan out my stitching , which means when I am on the go I take projects that fit the setting. So I have several projects I’m working on a week. Dance, waiting in the car, travel. Then when I get close to a finish I finish those in my early morning 45 min stitching time.
Sometimes I think I like planning the stitching just as much as the actual stitching!!😆😆
@@molliemcmaker absolutely. I was actually thinking this morning that the Kitting is my fav. Organizing the floss on rings and all that jazz !!
You did a great job on your 1st flosstube.
Thank you Virginia!
I love your project bags!!! And the halloween ones are my favorite! I love the fabric on the trio of haunted houses!!!
Mollie, your Lazy Bear project bag is gorgeous❤ Will you tell us more?
I was always a monogamous stitcher but I do have a few old WIPS (4).
I just love seeing a finished product but not necessarily an FFO. I did complete 30 finished projects in a couple months just to knock back my stash a couple years ago.
Atom Hearts floss keepers are awesome. She is awesome.
Thanks Rebecca!! I have gotten quite a few comments about my project bags, I try to remember to talk a little more about them next time.
Great video. Keep it up!
Thank you Sherry!
☮️💟
I’m definitely more of a process stitcher, but I’m slowly becoming a progress stitcher. I have a ton of WIPs 😆 Great first video!! ❤
Thank you Hillary!!
Great first video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice 1st video! I guess I'd be a process stitcher. I have about 23 WIPs of all sizes but I keep starting smalls and finishing them though! Happy stitching!
Thanks for watching!!
Welcome. It is good to know that here are other Houston area stitchers.
Yeahhhh Houston!! Do you participate in any of the groups that meet monthly?
@@molliemcmaker I don’t know of any groups that meet monthly. Share please.
@@maryburrows8244 on Facebook: space city stitchers meets in Friendswood, Willow Tree Sampler Guild meets in Spring
And there is another group, an embroidery guild, meets somewhere in inner Houston.
I haven’t been to any of these but am going to try to make some meetings in the future.
@@molliemcmakerI live in cypress so not so close to any group meetings. I will do some research. Before Covid 3 Stitches had a Wednesday group that met in the morning. 45 minute drive for me.
Hi Mollie, I enjoyed your video. Loved the out takes at the end ❤️
I rarely fully finish my projects. So sad, because I do love them.
I’m also a Texas stitcher.
Thanks Karen, I love the out takes on other videos too!! I've finished the stitching on a lot and then procrastinate the full finish, I've been trying to tell myself to fully finish one thing I've already stitched a month, that can't be too hard, right!?!?
@@molliemcmaker that’s a good idea. I should try that or FFO what I just FO’d. ❤️
We are/will be doing much of the same projects! Awesome work, looking forward to seeing more....
Love it! What are you stitching on now? I love it when I know other people stitching on the same thing as me!!
@@molliemcmaker Dark Queen of the Earth (have marked the starting point, 😂), Dee’s Merman, Mary Morgans will be a SAL with my roomies at Stitching in the Wild in September… and there is one more, and I’m having a massive brain fart, 😂🤣😂
@@jaxcreativeinspirations love it all!!
I love your stitching-It's beautiful! Congratulations on your first flosstube! Can you do a tutorial on your gorgeous bags?
Thank you! I plan to talk more about the bags next time.
Great flosstube! Love all your projects and look forward to seeing more! Thank you!
Thank you Marcia!
Congratulations on your first floss tube. I enjoyed seeing your WIPS. I am a progress stitcher and I think it is fun to hear whatever does. Janine
Thank you Janine, I love see everyone's WIPS too!
Awesome first video, gorgeous WIPs, I love The Blue Flower pieces the most. Welcome to Flosstube!!
Thank you!! The Blue Flower is one of my favorite designers.
Great first video, can't wait for the next. Also some of your quilting.
Thanks Debbie, I do plan to share some quilting but wanted to keep this first video to just cross stitch. I have two tops that are completed and just need to be quilted.
I am very glad to meet you. He you will share your quilting someday. I am a process stitcher. I don't have many tips in cross stitch because I like big projects and work on them for some time before moving on but do quilting, surface embroidery, and gardening as well
I enjoyed your first flosstube! I would love to see a project bag parade. I look forward to seeing your next video.
Thank you Lisa, I’m thinking I talk more about the bags next time, thanks for the watch.
Nice to meet you. Great first video. Thanks for sharing your WIPs.
Thanks for the watch Carolyn!
Great project bag. Looks like it will hold everything for your project. Great idea!
Thank you! I really love it when the bag and the project ... and the needle minder all match!!
Hi Mollie! Enjoyed seeing your WIP’s, many of which I have in stash or have started, so it’s nice to see your progress on pieces that make my heart sing. I’m a progress stitcher, I like stitching but I’m definitely working toward the finish so that it can be framed and enjoyed in its glory while I’m still alive. ☺
Thanks for watching Brandi! I know what you mean, we spend all this time and money on these projects, I want to see them finished too!!
Welcome to flosstube…I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I have. I am a progress stitcher who loves the process…I don’t fit one side or the other exactly but I do tend to be most comfortable with around 15 to 20 wips. I began #praisingJeanninespollinatorssal parallel to Laura of LaLaDee for stitchers who wanted to do this gorgeous pattern at their own pace…feel free to hop in any time. I look forward to seeing your next video. 🦉🧵🐶
Thank you for watching, I will check out your channel too. I love meeting other people stitching the same thing, I will hop on your SAL too!
@@molliemcmaker thank you so much for giving my channel a chance. 🦉
🙂🌼🌼
Welcome to flosstube! You have some great projects!
Thank you so much!!
Awesome video. Beautiful WIPs too
Thank you so much for watching Catherine!
❤❤❤ Welcome to the Flosstube Community !!!🎉🎉🎉 You have great projects going on! I also finished the strawberry Faire one, you are very organized, and did super great for your first flosstube. I am a process stitcher, but when a I want to finish something I’ll focus on that project, so maybe a kinda in the middle.
Thank you so much!
Mollie...delightful meeting you...thanks for sharing your projects...beautiful stitching...best wishes ❤❤
@@lorettahenderson8979 thank you Loretta!
You had me subscribed in the first minute! Cross stitch, quilting, and greyhounds?! Are you my stitchy sister? hehe I also just recently posted my first flosstube. I haven't seen the Teresa Kogut biscornu before - it's stunning! We seem to like a lot of the same designers. I haven't started any Teresa Kogut projects, but oh man are you making me want to buy some! I love your brindle personalization of Tudor Hound! I hope you have a wonderful birthday! 🎂
So you have greyhounds too? I think I watched your first video a few days ago, did you say you use to have a greyhound??
Good job on your first flosstube! We have so many stitches in common! I love all the bags you have made and all of your colorful fabrics that you stitch on. I know I have followed you for a while on Instagram but it’s great to get to know you here.
Thank you Sarah!! I've been meaning to watch your channel since I saw it mentioned by Sarah's Stitchery, your at the top of my list now, can't wait to see what you've been stitching on too!
@@molliemcmaker aw thanks!
Your choice of fabrics are outstanding for the projects! Can you please tell me what fabric you used for the Blue Flower Greyhound canvas, please. It’s stunning!
Thanks Leslie. That one is one 32 ct Legacy by Picture This Plus.
Like the video! Love the end blooper 😊. I'm like you a progress stitcher. My thinking is I don't want to leave to many unfinished projects if die. I'll be a ghost with unfinished business 😂
HAHAHA, that made me laugh!! Well hopefully that day is not coming anytime soon and you will have plenty of time to finish all of the things. Sometimes I think about the things I'm stitching and I'm like my kids better not throw these out when I'm gone... or I will haunt you!! HAHA
Great first flosstube and loving your wips ❤ Too many adverts for me tho 😞
Thanks for the watch! If you are referring to ads, I have no control over that, it's all CZcams.
❤❤❤
Hope you will share your quilting someday
Thank you for watching MaryLou, I do plan to share some in the future.
How can we buy your project bags? You HAVE to sell them!!! I love your choice of fabrics! 😁
Thanks for the watch Cynthia, I don’t have any plans to sell bags right now, I’ve thought about it but just really don’t have the time. I have several plans for more bags that have been sitting for months. 😬
Hi Mollie, a very good first flosstube. I love your projectbags, is there a tutorial or pattern that you use?
Happy stitching, Birgit
Thank you Birgit! The Fat Quarter Shop has a video tutorial (it's many years old now) for a very large vinyl front bag, I modified that one to make mine smaller. Also, Elizabeth Ann Can Stitch has a video tutorial for an all fabric bag, again I modified the dimensions to work for what I wanted. You can do it!
@@molliemcmaker Thank you. I made ElizabethAnn‘s bag but yours has a handle!
Congratulations on your first flosstube. I enjoyed seeing your projects and your project bags. Would love if you could do a tutorial on your bags and the floss bag. Also how do you do your floss drop project identification card? Look forward to more flosstubes from you.
Wonderful first video! What type of paper do you use to print the project cards that you put on your rings? That is a great idea
Thank you for watching, I have a book that I got from Michaels with pretty prints on one side on card stock paper and then just laminate it.
Also, what is the difference between process and progress stitching?
Process is someone who more enjoys the process of stitching, may have more WIPS and maybe less concerned about finishing what they start. A progress stitcher likes to finish things and may have less WIPS. But really we all like stitching or we wouldn't do it, I guess we are all process stitchers in the end!!
Hello fellow Texan. Do you order on line or is there a shop near you?
Hi Tracy!! Where in Texas are you from? Hopefully the hurricane didn't impact you! There are two shops near Houston, that I know about, and they are over an hour away, so I've only been to each once. I do most of my shopping online, Lindy Stitches, Top Knot Stitcher, and the Fat Quarter Shop.
