I can’t decide which is better: your wide range of wip materials, or your bookshelves!! ❤❤❤

I am 5 minutes into your flosstube and had to subscribe. Anyone who has 3 shelves of Stephen King books and loud dogs is my kinda gal. Okay now I’ll settle down and watch the stitching 🤣

“Halloween is a lifestyle, not a holiday.” Literally! 👻 Loved your WIP parade!

Great start, hope to see you again and again. I, too, am an avid reader & a addicted stitcher. My tip: Audiobooks (BUT) at first listen to an audiobook of a book you have already read. That way, you get used to listening to a book & not get concerned if the mind drifts b/c YOU HAVE ALREADY READ IT. The first time I listened to an audiobook it was Rebecca, which I must have read 3 times. From then on, I can listen to an audiobook COLD (never read the hardback). Just saying that is how I solved the problem of doing two things at once. See you again.

You’ve got three kids in their early 20’s? Are you kidding? You only look 26 yourself! Fab video, greetings from the U.K. 👍🤗🇬🇧

Fun to see what others select to start on! And so many people seem to have started this craft in a whole different era when we were children and now are picking it back up- so much has changed with cross stitch I am also amazed! Thanks for sharing!! 🐝

There’s a special place in heaven for all the SAL patterns that were bought with passion and commitment and the abandoned for other charts. I believe we all have them. Enjoyed! Do more!

We had two swarms of bees move into the eaves of our house and our beekeepers came out yesterday to move them out of the house and both sets left within the last 24 hours. We were elated but surprised. I’m glad yours is doing well! Congrats on stitching so well on linen!!!!

Books and cross stitch are my thing! Gardening for bees and butterflies too. Loved your video. Looking forward to more! Thank you!

I enjoyed seeing all your different WIPs! I also love to read and enjoyed the backdrop filled with books. 🐝

🐝 I loved everything about this, so relatable.. especially the lack of options back in the day, now we have endless choices 😊

Hello from Canada! Well done on your first floss tube I thoroughly enjoyed it! Love all your projects I'm a fairly new stitcher and I love being enabled!! 😂🐝

Thank you for stepping forward and bringing your energy to FlossTube, Rebecca. A hoot to watch you warm up to your pace and level of comfort by the video's end... The needle minder on your first project shown spoke volumes. You're obviously a well-read (*pun fully intended*) crafter, and on the flip-side... books are anyone's best accessory. Appreciated the fresh breath of air via patterns and fabric materials (hemp). On that subject as well, thank you for stewarding the planet's food chain; no explanation required. Will be a trip to follow along~~ from the Midwest, US.🌼🌿

Great first video! Nice mix of projects. Looking forward to your next Flosstube 🐝

I discovered your FlossTube this morning when I saw an oh-my-goodness-a-WIP-parade-FIRST-video suggestion in my feed. I am only half through but have to focus on getting to work (I’m a rural mail carrier and the road is calling) but I will be back. If only to see if you make it to picking up your husband on time … great hook 😎. But, two things, I just started a small (AKA not Long Dog) monochromatic because I was sorting floss and came upon a heavily variegated Weeks I bought for the name, Mermaid. Had to use it for lots of reasons so pulled out a new start. Now I want to stitch ALL the heavy variegations. Also, my graduate thesis was “Beekeeping in Yemen as Economic Development” because I was, and still am, convinced beekeepers can save the world. See you after work!

Hello. Thanks for sharing your projects with the community. On the topic of how many stitches versus how much time one has remaining, there is a channel called the SABLE stitchers. Roberta and Linnie named their channel after that exact sentiment. It stands for stash acquired beyond life expectancy. I think most stitchers live with at least a bit of that in the back of our minds. It’s not morbid, just a factual part of a slow craft or hobby. Anyway, it was nice to “meet” you.

Awesome first FlossTube! Great WIPS… As a funny side I started a list of books to read from your shelf behind you. Looking forward to future shows.

🐝 Great job on your 1st Floss Tube, can't wait to see more of your stitch work!

Great first flosstube. I'm very intrigued by your beekeeping. Please share more. 🐝 🐝 🐝

Oh I love the house crosstitch and the idea of stiching when you read the books.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects with us! Between your WIP Parade, your bookshelves and you somehow even own a serger (!) - you are amazing! Looking forward to your updates. Welcome.

Great first Flosstube! Your nerves hardly showed. Really enjoyed seeing all of your stitching and hearing about your beekeeping. The nice thing about stitching is that there are no stitching police and no deadlines. I was quite shocked when you said you had children in their 20's! You look as though you are in your 20's yourself! Subscribed and looking forward to the next one!🐝

Loving your video! I agree that a few years ago there was no variety in patterns and I found floss tubes and have proceeded to fall down the rabbit hole and I have now 2 hobbies of collecting kits and cross-stitching!

🐝 I thoroughly enjoyed your first floss stube.

I love that you like to stitch so many different types of designs! Can't wait to watch your 2nd flosstube (going to do that now - I'm already behind)😀🐝

🐝 Happy first flosstube.....so glad you decided to take the plunge, was a great WIP parade, so many great projects and absolutely love your book collection as well. I'm absolutely in on Thea Thursday, just need to choose a kit and get it ordered lol Happy Stitching -Kimberly

You did great! Thanks for sharing your stitching and putting yourself out there. I admire all you flosstubers for doing this. Loved all your projects.

Really enjoyed spending time with you today and seeing all your fun wips. Congratulations on your first flosstube - looking forward to seeing you next time.

Welcome to Flosstube! It is so nice to have another Seattle area stitcher around! All your wips are great, I love your eclectic taste in stitching, I have pretty much the same feeling about my stitching - like and stitch everything))

Beautiful WIPS!!! And I love the book collection

Congratulations on your first Flosstube. I love the diversity of your projects. Looking forward to your next episode.

Welcome to flosstube. Lovely projects and beautiful library. Love the scenery.❤

I really enjoyed your first video ! You have a wonderful assortment of projects that I'm anxious to see as you progress . I'll be watching for your second video .

Great first Flosstube! 😍 Really enjoyed watching and seeing all your beautiful projects 😊

Wonderful first flosstube! 🐝🪡

Loved your first flosstube! You’ve got some amazing projects! Can’t wait to see more from you 🐝

Congrats on a fun first flosstube! You did great! I loved all your eclectic projects and look forward to more to come. 🐝

Great job on your first Flosstube! 🐝 it was wonderful! And can we just take a minute for that wall of books 😍 looking forward to seeing more videos in the future!

Congrats on your first Flosstube!! Love seeing all the WIPs!

I'm over here trying to read all the titles on your bookshelf! So many colorful books! Love those The Artsy House wife patterns, especially the first one you showed. I am a child of the 90s as well and I agree, cross stitching was different back then. I learned back then, and in 2021 I started up again because I was shocked at the amount of variety there was out there! I like doing nerdy and funny stitches! Love your vibes, can't wait to see more! Looking forward to seeing some of your finishes too!

Hope to see more! Loved your variety.

Oh what a great first Flosstube! Well done 🐝 looking forward to the next one!

I think you did an amazing job on your first floss tube! Loved seeing all your WIPS and can I just say WOW on your bookshelf! It’s amazing and very fun to look at! Can’t wait until flosstube #2! I subscribed right away!

Love your bookshelf 😍 great video!

welcome to flosstube!! i absolutely loved seeing all of your wips and cant wait to follow along to see the progress 💖✨🍓

Welcome to flosstube! You did great and honestly, I had the same problems getting started. Love all your projects!!

Congrats on your first flosstube!!! It was a pleasure to watch and can’t to see more in the future.

Great video! Congratulations on starting!!! Looking forward to more. ❤

🐝 such a great Flosstube! Looking forward to future ones!

The trick for listening to audio books is to speed them up. I always said the same thing about zoning out, but once I started listening faster - usually at 1.6 or 1.8 speed - it helps you stay connected to the book. I listened to 210 books last year - many while stitching. I often recommend The Dutch House by Ann Patchett - read by Tom Hanks as a good one to get into listening. I enjoyed the parade - I like the variety of projects - I have many Barbara Ana and Long Dog WIPs.

Very nice video and love your projects. I saw A few of yours that I will be adding to my wips. The patterns and fabrics today are so dynamic it is impossible for me to resist.

Great first video!! I’m looking forward to more and I love your collection of WIPS.

Great first flosstube! Love seeing all that you're working on! Thanks for sharing! 🌸Lindsay

Great 1st flosstube! Great WIPs! 🎉 Love your bookshelves, too!

🐝 love all of these! You did great, can’t wait to see more 😊

I’m enjoying your first Flosstube! Your stitching is beautiful.

🐝 loved your first video, can't wait for more. ❤

Hi, Rebecca! Welcome to FlossTube! You did awesome! Love all your projects. I need to rewind to find the butterfly one! WOW, that is some mystery book collection! Will look forward to your next video! 🐝 Bobbie

Great video. Enjoyed seeing your stitching projects. Pretty project bags. Looking forward to more videos.😊 🐝

Enjoyed your video! You did great! I just wanted to mention - I've used lots of the Valdani - I'm a 2 strand stitcher - but found you sort of have to figure where to cut it off so that the 3rd strand variagtion matches the 3rd strand of the next pull-off. I'm new back to cross stitch after 25+ years.... boy is it different! I am set to do a chart that says 'Buying cross-stitch as if I'm immortal'. I watch Nicola - Simply a Stitcher - she has amazing ways to start, then stitch and likes to match up the which way with the piece.... great good joy to you!

🐝 welcome to flosstube! Love all your projects and looking forward to more ❤

Welcome to Flosstube! Love your projects! I stitched Flora and Cathedral, love them! Hugs from Mexico 🇲🇽

Great floss tube! Looking forward to the next one. You have great patterns.😊

Congrats on your first Flosstube! I created a Notion database to track my projects (and another one for my pattern inventory, and my fabric stash…at this point my Notion is a hobby of its own!). Weeks Dye Works’ older fabric was very loosely woven, but now they do dye on Zweigart (shops will often specify which colors they have that are on Zweigart).

Excellent video for a first. Looking forward to seeing more of your stitching 🦌

I immediately fell in love with your flosstube. Everything you showed I either already have in my WIP pile or immediately added to my wish list/cart. I am so excited to see more of your videos!!!

Awesome WIP Parade. Excited to see your progress! 🐝

The books, the stitches, all the good stuff. Welcome! And thank you!

You did a great job! I enjoyed seeing all of your wips! 🐝

Great first video! Really love your wide range of WIPs and I’m looking forward to seeing your progress on them

Loved your first video! Gonna go binge the rest. 🐝

Welcome ❤ enjoyed every minute! Beautiful wips!!

Great video! I like the variety of your stitching projects🐝

Great job!!! I do the same thing - when I go into anything - I go all the way, big time. Really enjoyed the episode - hope you continue!! ❤

Great video!!! Love the variety of projects! 🐝

🐝 You did a great job! It takes a lot of courage to do this and I applaud you. Looking forward to your next one.

Loved your WIP parade! 🐝 Great first video!

Welcome to flosstube! Great selection of projects and beautiful shelves behind you 🐝

Great video, I just found you today ! I agree I was a big reader and then discovered cross stitch ! Whoa I was hooked also in 2020 with Covid shut downs ! Now I use my library for books and spend my money on cross stitch stuff !😂 look forward to your next videos !

Welcome! I love the books and the stitching! ;)

You did great and thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next video!

Nice first video! We have a lot of wips in common, we like the same things. Can’t wait to see your next video. Happy stitching 🌸 🐝

Welcome ! Your were great . Love the book collection! Don’t know what to do either read or cross stitch: I started stitching aging in 2020 with just a Christmas stocking and it was off to the races. Things have sure changed since flood tube came along . Glad ur hear !

Welcome! Love your projects and attitude.

So glad I found your channel. I love your book collection :D

I really enjoyed your video. I can't wait for the next one. I also fell away from stitching for a few years because I could never find anything I liked in the stores. Then I found flosstube, and my stitchy world opened back up. I went from 1 wip to 13 plus another 50 waiting to be started. I've slowly started sharing my progress on Instagram, but haven't built up the courage to try flosstube yet. I too am restitching stockings for my family. I have 1 finished, 1 in progress and 2 more to start.

Loved your flosstube. What a great variety of projects!

Great first floss tube. Looking forward to watching more.

Great first flosstube!! Congratulations! 🐝

Awesome first flosstube! 🐝

I hit subscribe as soon as you brought out those lovely Miras. 😍 Congrats on your first video - all of your projects are beautiful and I look forward to seeing more from you!

Nice WIP parade.. Can't wait to see what's next. ❤😊💐

"Halloween is a lifestyle, not a holiday" 😂 Can we get that on a shirt??? Subscribed! You also had me at, 'If not ironing things is going to bother you, there a lots of other cross stitch videos on youtube you can watch' lol Love it!

🐝 I really enjoyed your video. Love your wide range of wips. Looking forward to your next one.

🐝❤ Congrats for starting- love your stitching!

Hi Beck. What a great first video! You really relaxed into it as you went along. You're my kind of stitcher - wywwyw, lots of genres and keeping lots of records takes up too much stitching time! I write the fabric details on the edge of my piece of fabric, so I'll always know what it is. Thank you for taking the plunge. I've subscribed. 😊🐝 Suggestion for your problematic Mirabilia: Deb Wilson flosstuber uses a lot of Silks4U and told me she uses their white now instead of DMC. I'm planning to try that next time.

I enjoyed seeing your WIPS and look forward to your next one 🐝

Very nice meeting you Rebecca...I was an Enrolled Agent before I retired...love all the beautiful stitching you shared...best wishes❤😊

Lovely first flosstube. Really enjoyed the wide variety of projects! 🐝

What is it about accountants and tax preparers that love to craft? I too am an accountant and love the creativity of quilting and stitching (and the math of it too)! Congrats on taking the plunge. Maybe I’ll finally pull the trigger on a floss/quilt-tube channel too!
