Welcome, Karen, to the FlossTube community. You have wonderful projects and beautiful stitching. It is good to hear that you found away for your cross stitch to comfort you during this horrific experience with your son. Please know I have kept him and your family in my thoughts. I hope we shall see more of you. Thank you for sharing.

It’s so glad to know Hands Across the Sea DMC conversions are spot on. I was wondering about that and didn’t want to buy a lot of silk. Great job on your first flosstube! Please do more videos. Your son and you are in my prayers. I started back stitching when my daughter went on dialysis and it helped get me through her transplant a couple of years ago.

To be fair, I have never stitch one with the silks but I think the dmc is beautiful! I have a few more to show so hopefully you can see more examples. Thank you so much for thinking of my son, it really shifts your whole perspective. Hope to “see” you again soon!

Hi Karen, I think you did great with your 1st flosstube. Love.y projects and your bags are so so cute! I’m so very sorry for what your family has been going through these last months. Life can be really hard sometimes. I think it’s especially hard when it affects our kids. May the Lord give you all strength and courage and the “peace that passes understanding” in the days ahead. I’m glad your stitching brings you some enjoyment and calm during these times. Sending you a big hug..and hoping you will continue to film. Suzette

Hi! I just found your Flosstube so I’m starting with the 1st one. The chicken portion of the sampler is just beautiful! Love all the Plum Street and all your bags 🙂 Hawk Run-that is so tempting to me, I love it so much- but it might take my entire life, ha! I hope you are finding your way as best you can with your son. So many hugs to you all. My family & I know health troubles well and my heart is with you ❤❤ I’m glad you have stitching for the good and the hard days. I’m looking forward to watching the rest of your videos!

This is so exciting! I have one of your beautiful portfolios from early on and it is such a treasure! But more importantly, thank you so, so much for watching and commenting. I have some plans to take more portions of samplers and make smaller items like I did with the chickens - it’s allowed me to see so many more options! And it’s absolutely safe to say my Hawk Run will be a lifelong project for me 😂 so don’t hesitate! Thank you also for the words for my son, we got back from another surgery on Saturday and have plans to go again in July. But we are just taking it as it comes - I now have him picking my projects each week and it has been just lovely!
