Hello, i enjoyed your flosstube and love all your projects! I really love how you finished your Christmas Birds pillow, what a treasure (and one that can last on your couch well past Christmas! ) You mentioned the Tilda Hibernation fabrics, well as I’m watching you I’m finishing the binding for a baby quilt, of this gorgeous fabric line, for my meetup with my great nephew next week. Looking forward to watching your previous videos and looking forward to more in the future!😊

Thank you for the shout out Arica! 💕The drawstring bags you made are so pretty. I am going to make one for my daughter in law who started chrocheting this year. I can't wait for the knitting video. I've started to finish my knitting WIP's so that I can start a new knitting project. Usually I don't mind starting something new when I haven't finished something else but these where some older WIP's that I wanted to have done. I love the look of your livingroom, the Christmas tree is so big, I love it! Merry Christmas to you and your family Arica! Hugs, Joanita 🎄

@@FibersandFlossCanada 😄with all those lovely fabrics around the corner from where you live, sewing a new bag for yourself must be a treat. Actually I have two new knitting projects in mind. One is a scarf to go with my new jacket, I think it's going to be a pattern by Andera Mowry. I bought the yarn, Scheepjes Scrumptious, but haven't decided on the pattern yet. And one is a sweater by Andera Mowry called The Weekender light. I have 5 skeins of fingering yarn waiting to be knit up. Your video's a re a treat, I love to watch them! Have a wonderful and cosy Christmas and a warm, healthy, creative New Year! 🎆 Joanita 🎄

Merry Christmas! Your finishes are so beautiful. I have an idea about your reindeer stitches. What is you crafted a coffee table book that contained all of those stitches and included some pages of parchment that you could write your favorite holiday memories on. You could decorate those pages with stickers or drawings. I can see it in my mind, better than I can explain it. It would become a family treasure.

With the 12 days of Christmas, they would make such small cute pillows that could be tucked away in a small trifle bowl, or wooden bowl, that would be fun to take out year after year for your daughter……thank you for taking the time to film…have an amazing week.

Just found your floss tube. Loved your projects! Are you familiar with Colorado cross stitcher floss tubes? Sherry also wants more blank pages in her cross stitch journal. So Sherry takes her copy of the book to an office supply store to have it spiral bound and has them add additional blank pages in the back. She talks about this in her floss tube but I couldn’t tell you which one.

@FibersandFlossCanada 7 ай бұрын

Wellllll….. it’s the Winter White Santa which was released in 2009. It’s interesting as it wasn’t released as part of the Christmas Eve courier collection, it is stitched on the same color linen using the same dmc and waterlilies silk as the couriers. So this leaves many ppl feeling like this is the Santa that “fits nicely” into this Christmas Eve courier collection….
