I’d say your thrift embroidery blocks are for a quilt. Congrats on your new old hoop. I donated all my old wooden hoops to a charity shop before I knew people still wanted them. I hope someone was as happy as you to find them.

⚽️ I think you’ll still be okay with your borders, especially with the hoops you use. Part of the challenge for me is the q-snap, and that takes up so much more of the fabric in the “hoop” when stitching. So fun to join you both for another flosstube!

It’s like my sister and I. I wish my sister enjoyed cross stitch too. I live vicariously through all the sister flosstubers. I appreciate all the time that you spend with us when you could be stitching. 💜

I can’t get enough of your videos - always amazing. As for switching beads for smaller counts it’s pretty easy. Most mill hill beads come in multiple sizes for the same colour and if not there will be a similar colour that’ll give you the same look. I just finished Bluebell on 46 count and switched all the beads to petites and it worked very well. If there was a line of beads a had to eliminate 1 or 2 as it got tight but it still gave the same look. You should def join Mini Mira’s - we can help you convert. Good luck with your Mira May

You gals are funny. I began to finish my own completed object. Otherwise, they would never get done. It is a work in progress and frustrating at times. I did the Raven Queen that i posted in a few Mira/Nora groups..., repurposing and rescued the icky, retro over frame with fruit. I try to find old frames from thrift stores, etc and redo them.

⚽️ when I travel I end up bringing my knitting to work on because I can do it without having to watch what I'm doing, especially if I am supposed to pay attention to it (just went to a comedy show and knitting was perfect) but I do like the cross stitch while flying or driving when I can pay a little more attention to what I'm working on

The stamped cross stitch looks like quilt blocks if they are square repeating patterns. The longer rectangular pcs with the same pattern at both ends would most likely be dresser or stand scarfs.

⚽️ (funny side story because I don’t want to not say *something* lol… until I got my second master’s degree, I had *only* attended schools where Soccer was the big sport, because the only time before then I had attended a school with a football team? Was 3rd grade. So wild and wacky. But it’s hilarious because when people talk about high school jocks for one reason or another, looking back at our teenage years, my brain immediately goes to “soccer boys” and lots and lots of Adidas, not to football players, lol!)

I love to travel and further down my cross stitch journey (do you see what I did there 😂😂😂😂) I want to start cross stitch pieces of some of the places I've been. My hubby and youngest are Nottingham forest fans so it's nerve wracking at the lower end of the table too, as for me I'm Sheffield wednesday who narrowly hung on to staying in the championship. Out of the two top prem teams you mentioned it's definitely Arsenal. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

Hi friends, I am french, and I would like to know what signification have Bees in America. I see many bees in cross stitching, essentially in primitiv design. What does it means ? Glory ? Faithfull ? Peace ? Health ? THanks for your answer 💙

@CrossStitchtheGlobe Ай бұрын

I always think of bees as a symbol of summer, but I found this as well: Honey bees-and the values associated with them-have influenced American values for four centuries. Bees and beekeepers have represented order and stability in a country without a national religion, political party, language, or family structure. www.environmentandsociety.org/mml/bees-america-how-honey-bee-shaped-nation#:~:text=Honey%20bees%E2%80%94and%20the%20values,%2C%20language%2C%20or%20family%20structure.
