Hi Sarah! It was a great retreat. Loved every minute of it ❤. Glad you like your cross stitch clutch and I appreciate all the great videos you give us cross stitchers. Have a great trip to Germany and I can’t wait to hear all about it at the Lakeside Stitches retreat 😊.

Your retreat sounded like so much fun,fabulous gifts and haul,enjoy your holiday to Germany,also love that BIG box of cross stitch buildings,have a good sleep Thankyou for sharing 🇳🇿❤️🪡

I loved all of your retreat acquisitions, the saved stitching is amazing and your happiness from being there. The Pumpkin House chart could be done all on one piece of fabric. Im sure some one would sew it together for you, its so aforable. As neat as your sewing you jave shown before you could accomplish it. Thank you so much for sharing

You knocked it out of the park again even though tired. Hope you have a wonderful and safe trip , looking forward to what you will have to share when you get back.

How have I missed you all this time? I've been watching flosstube for a year now and just ran across you the other night. We are so much alike! Maine living would be my choice. Keep it coming, just love the content.

Sounds like a wonderful retreat! So excited for your trip to Germany...have a wonderful time!! Can't wait to see what treasures you bring back 😊

Hello - New subscriber here. Just love your finds at Goodwill. Only a stitcher can appreciate and understand all of the work and hours that go into a cross stitch piece. I have rescued as well, and it is so wonderful when we find them! Have a great trip to Germany!

The retreat sound like it was the most wonderful experience ever! Thanks for sharing have a fabulous adventure in Germany! Safe travels!

Thank you for showing all your goodies. Have a great trip to Germany

Love seeing retreats vidos! Thank you!

You are such a pleasure to watch! ...tired or not... so kind, calm & your craft room! Wow! Can you adopt me? Your Sweet Wing Studio pattern would make a cute drum...just a thought. Thanks for sharing all of your retreat fun. Hope to go to one someday. Fun travels!

Hi Sarah: I like seeing what you are going to work on and all the fun things you find, I am almost sure that board design is Jeremiah Junction design from way back in the 80s. love the sticky board. Oh my gosh the box is beautiful. The strawberry is beautiful, love the JBW design so lovely. I belong to Liz Mathews Patreon, love that Sea Mist fabric, the blues are so pretty, what a beautiful gift, you are loved. Retreats are so much fun you get so many items as gifts that are so well made and useful, such a cute bag you won, Driftwood fabric is beautiful, I love Peyote stitch the wolf is beautiful. Youi have received so many lovely gifts. Have a great vacation.

Sounds like a very fun tired! Great video, the fabrics were gorgeous. Rest and enjoy your Germany vaca.

Yay. I'm happy for you to go see your daughter.

Wowzer!!👏👏👏👏👏

Wow that Plastic Canvas Box is such a treasure for you because that is tons of work. It is so beautiful. I do plastic canvas and counted cross stitch so I know that many hours was spent on that piece. I can not believe you found that at Goodwill. Wow that Pumpkin House is very cool but I know I could not do it because I do not sew. I thought it is cool to see the cat in the window. Those fabrics are awesome. Glad you had a wonderful time at the retreat. Happy Stitching.

Absolutely totally enjoyed your video tonite. It is now about 2am and definitely time for me to go to bed. looking forward to more videos on your retreat. Have a great time on your vacation.

Thank you for sharing. Happy stitching.

Such fun and excitement…glad you had a great time. Safe travels to Germany! Now I’m off to find my state stitch. Thanks my enabler friend 🤭😂

Your retreat sounded amazing, enjoy your holiday x

What treasures you rescued at Good Will! I wish I had been able to go to the Library Stitchers retreat.. there were so many people there that I would love to meet in person.. if there is another I hope to be able to go. Enjoy your trip and safe travels!! 🪡👠

Great video! So happy you had fun at the retreat! Have a safe and fun trip to Germany!

Stephanie’s husband calls it a Whipit Keeper’ 🤣😂🤣 love your videos! Happy Stitching from South Carolina. Ann

Another fun video! Have a wonderful time in Germany!

Glad you had such a terrific time at the retreat! Now onward to Germany!

You find such great stuff at the dump. I like when you go through your patterns also. I am stitching Remember me by scattered seeds

It is a dream of mine to go to a retreat. In my neck of the woods this doesn't exist. I might have to host the first one. Love all your gifts.

Wonderful beaded wolf for you❤. Have fun in Germany ❤

I really enjoyed the video, especially the two Vervaco kits - oh, those tiny frames! - and of course, I was completely amazed by the Good Will finding , that fabulous stitched box, each of the four pieces in itself is so beautiful!! I do not know who the designer was, but it feels like a treasure box. I even saved this video in my list to come back to those four panels, maybe we will find the designer someday. Enjoy your trip to Germany ! I cannot wait for the impressions from this trip. I am from Eastern Europe and Germany is one of my fav countries.

You always find the best things when you thrift! Our thrift stores are so picked over is not any fun so i love to see your treasures. You have great inspiration for ffo's on your channel. Dont be too afraid of October house. Stitch them and mount them separately then put together in the frame. You dont have to stitch the fabrics together. That seems fiddly and frustrating. Just an idea.... thank you for sharing. Have a great time in Germany!

Great video. Glad you had a wonderful time at the treat. Orvus is/was always considered to be a horse soap. I do believe quilters use it as well. I have washed my stitched pieces in it and they came out great, but that was years ago when I only used white aida and DMC thread. Not sure what today's fabrics and threads would do.

That looks like it was a fantastic retreat! I think for your pumpkin house, you should stitch the fabrics together first, before stitching. Maybe she tells you in the pattern how to do it. I really liked the mushroom thread keep, too. Starlight Stitching Co sells the pattern, as well as finished ones, and she calls them clutches. I have several, but never attempted making them. They're handy to have in your project bags. I loved your find of the piece with the 4 churches. Very cool! Have safe travels to Germany.

The Ben Q lamp is awesome I have the table one with two arms I’ve had for 1 1/2 yrs Best light you will ever buy. On Liz’s Pumpkin House I had a piece of fabric dyed two colors

I loved your video.

Whatever did I do with my early Monday mornings before I discovered your KZfaq!

I wanted that American Wildflowers, but @ HL a couple yrs ago, it was a crazy high priced, originally it was either $79.99 or $99.99 !! Cool Finish, and great that hubby is a Handy guy. Such a Beautiful exchange piece. Adorable zipper bag, I could never make that, cool scissors ... I like atomic ranch fabrics, but every piece I buy is not even, so measure your fabrics carefully. Blackwork & X-stitch together, very cool. The 2 different fabrics freaks me out!!! GL ... I have to pause the video :/ BBS.

Good Morning Sarah - what fun finds. I'm looking at directions to Marden's. Sounds like a fun place for a destination road trip. You find such fun things.

I picked up that "Floral Etchings 2" pattern at my LNS this week. I did the first one last year and finished it as a project bag. It's a lovely stitch. So far there's just the 2 of them.

You must have been tired - you said it was Monday, but it was Sunday 🤣 I was so tired too! I will have to make a trip to Marden's to see if I can find some of those patterns. And your finds at the Goodwill store are amazing! Have a safe trip!

I just found you. Enjoyed so much.

Wow! The retreat sounds wonderful. Glad you had such a good time and brought back so many goodies. Such amazingly talented and thoughtful friends. I know you will have an amazing time in Germany with your daughter. Safe travels. See you when you get back. ❤

Hi. Sounds like you had a lot of fun. If you have another retreat maybe I will be able to come. I live in Boston, mass.

What a fun video! I love watching your joy and enthusiasm, totally infectious in a good way 😁, and you usually enable me too. Safe travels on your trip to see your daughter, can’t wait to see the treasures you come back with. I am sure you will all make wonderful memories of your time spent with your family. 💞

Hi! I really enjoyed your video today watching all your goodies from the retreat and that Fabulous find from Goodwill! 👏🏻 That 4 sided box with the 4 cross stitched churches is beautiful! What a treasure! I liked that Zweigart Yorkshire Driftwood fabric too! Hope you really enjoy your trip to Germany to visit your daughter! Cheers! 🥰🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦

Great retreat recap! Love all your haul. It was so great to meet you in person. Safe travels to Germany and thank you so much for all your kind words. ❤

Thank you for a wonderful recap of our retreat!! We are so glad you had such an amazing time ❤

Sounds like you had a great time at retreat. Love the fabric and charts. Beautiful project bags and that barrette is incredible. Have wonderful time on your trip.

Love seeing all your new haul and surprises. I was wondering if the lady is selling the needle minders made in the tiny hoops? I think they are so lovely. have fun on your vacation!!!

So many treats from your retreat, my absolute favorite is the wolf eyes barrette. WOW. I do some beading so I know the person who made it is a real expert. Have a wonderful time in Germany. Will you have time to scout out any needle craft stores?

Love your videos, I’m glad you enjoyed the retreat, and have a safe and great vacation to Germany. What video did you show and tell about the Thread Hopper?? Sure will miss you while you’re gone.

The churches are from a Stoney Creek booklet. I’ve done 2 of them.

My penpal lives in Koln hope I spelt that right.

I divide the Pumpkin House into two different sews

What a great video . The box you showed from the Goodwill looks it is a Needle Point on my screen. Does it look that way in person? I'm with you, I love it. Hope you have a great trip. Where in Germany are you going?

Are there also retreats in Belgium 😮?
