On the block party I would stitch the rest on another fabric you like that compliments the fabric you don’t like. You could then use the top you already stitched. I would use the same count fabric. Remember there are no stitch police and no one says you have to use the same fabric for the entire project. Enjoy your Flosstube.

Very nice first video. Life is too short to stitch on a fabric you don’t enjoy. Switch and GO! Looking forward to your next Floss Tube. Congratulations!

Congratulations on a wonderful first Flosstube! I love all of your nativity and manger projects! I was shocked by the size of the manger ornament - I thought it would be an actual tree ornament and boy was I wrong! haha

Congratulations on a terrific, entertaining, and informative flosstube! I immediately subscribed and hit the notification button. You have such a graceful and kind demeanor which is immediately endearing. I totally agree with starting a project over when you run into a fabric that doesn't bring you joy when working on it. I look forward to your next video and wish you all the best as you produce more segments!

You’re a natural. Enjoyed your video. Found you by searching WIP parade because I enjoy those. My favorite color is green and the stocking stitches are new to me too and I purchased pattern book and have stitched the first 2. I am a long time quilter and have cross stitched for about 4 years

Hello! Frizzie Lizzie Stitches sent me lol. thanks for sharing your stitching with us. Enjoyed it very much. On the " I hate this linen" project, there's one thing I would try if the item were mine. Faultless Magic Light Hold (Sizing). It's a very mild spray starch. It's also hard to find at a normal price online. It seems to be carried more in small hardware stores, but Walmarts in the south have it. IDK. Anyway. I would cover the stitched area with a cloth, and spray a part of the unstitched area. If, after it dries, you like how it feels, do the rest. If it doesn't have the right feel, then maybe have a friend adopt this project. It's clear it is not bringing you joy. Powering through ... idk, I think life is too short. best wishes!

@stitchreadrepeat 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching and coming over from Elizabeth's channel! ☺ That is a great suggestion with the spray starch! Life IS too short - you're right. Have a great week!

On October 17th, maybe you could organize a trade ? Choose a new linen you would rather have it on and ask someone to restitch the top for you and trade tips + enough linen to finish the project ? Thank you so much for sharing....such a great first flosstube. Looking forward to many more. Happy Stitching -Kimberly

I have some other various ones completed, too! I like your Monticello chart, so I might have to try to find that one. I love baby stories, so if you ever want to share your miracle story, I will listen 🥰🥰. Congratulations on your daughter 💕💕.

I just found your flosstube and really enjoyed it as we have some similarities! I live in Iowa, the closest needlwork shop is The Stitchery Nook, about an hour away from me and Silver Creek Samplers Christmas List and Bent Creek's Nativity are on my wish list! I used to only buy kits from Wal Mart as well, my Grandma started me stitching and walking into The Stitchery Nook my brain exploded lol! Right now I am working on Stitchrovia's This Kitchen is Made for Dancing and trying to patiently wait to start My Little Minnow by Autumn Creek and Tea Rex by Silver Creek Samplers (which I just picked up Tea Rex and got it all kitted up at The Stitchery Nook on Friday!). Looking forward to watching more of your videos

I do daycare for a five (almost 6 year old) and a two year old and my sister in law and her family, one brother in law and his wife, and soon to be my mother and father in law live in Missouri, about half an hour from the Arkansas border about 4 hours straight south of St. Louis and we just got back from visiting everyone there! My husband's family is from Bucks County, PA and I've been out there twice for family reunions. Independence, Iowa is only an hour and a half from me! Too bad you aren't living there yet!
