I was closest to my paternal grandma. She didn’t have much money, but every year, she taped ten dimes to our birthday cards. She also saved all the tiny Avon lipstick samples for my sister and me. She was an incredible seamstress. More than anything she always made me feel incredibly important. She passed before my 17th birthday after a battle with cancer, and I miss her to this day. Ordered Margaret Doyle at straight-up 4 p.m. I couldn’t wait… serious FOMO with this one! Happy stitching!🧵🪡

I was very fortunate to have both of my grandmother's into adulthood. I have many great memories. My mom's mom lived with us in the summer's when I was growing up to watch me. One of my earliest memories is riding on the vacuum cleaner while she cleaned. This was back when the vacuum section was on wheels and you used the hose to pull it around behind you sort of like Rainbow vacuums. One of the most precious memories is her relationship with my kids. She was their Andes mint connection. They would run to her room to get them.

I’m very fond of my Great-Mother who I would visit every summer and Christmas until I reached the age of 15 years. She would ask me to go out and pick blue berries and a berries they called chock cherries from the trees on the property. This was my happiest time of my life as a kid living in the city.

Had little boy Margaret Doyle put away - just pulling him out again! So adorable. ♥️

I could write a book about my Grandma. She was the best. She passed at the age of 100. She was a dairy farmers wife. Raised 4 children (including a set of twin boys) during the depression. I got my stitchy gene from her. And she, too, made the best yeast rolls! I will never forget waking up to the smell of them coming out of the oven. I strive to be as hardworking and loving. She was the family prayer warrior. I will miss her always. ♥️

My Grandmother looked after me for my whole childhood while my Mother worked. We spent so much time together and she taught me so much. I miss her terribly.

It was so nice to see you again! Loved your beautiful samplers and can’t wait till your new book comes out! Funny, my daughter just finished the Lego set you bought …and it really is lovely! Hope you have a great week! Thanks for sharing,

I was very close to my dad’s mom. When I was 6, I would sit under her treadle machine & watch her pedal really fast. She would also let me have coffee in the morning. My dad used to tease me that I like my cream n sugar with a touch of coffee.

My favorite memory of my granny is when she would sit me on her lap (I think I was about 5) and tat or crochet. She would talk to me while she did it. She also made me perfect eggs every morning I spent with her and her peach cobbler was unbelievable. I dream of it and wish I had been old enough to have learned how to make it from her. She did teach my mom her vegetable soup recipe and it is one of our favorites during the cooler months. I still miss her even 63 years later.

My Irish grandma was named MARGARET DOYLE!!!!!!! So I MUST get this chart! She raised 10 children (seven sons served and returned from WWII) on a old farm in Michigan. She also made pies and the best biscuits and rolls and used to let me roll scraps (and sneak a bite) of the dough. She was the most wonderful grandma that we 42 grandchildren called MA (which is now my name to my grandchildren). She had a way of making each of us feel as if we were her favorite!Amazing woman!

I loved playing Kings on the Corner with my Grandma and also wish I had learned hand quilting from her. She taught me to crochet and also sewed clothing. I just loved spending time with her!

I loved my Grandma so much! She took me in when I was 3 years old after my Parents had made some bad choices. She was a wonderful lady. My favorite thing she would tell me was “I love you hun!” She was always there for me! She lived to be 100.🥰❤️

My Grandmother lived to 100 years young. When she turned 100, she said she was done with all her hobbies and three monthes later she passed - 25 years ago. I so miss our tine together. She taught me how to make quilts, always from fabric left over from a dress or apron she had made, or clothes that were taken apart. I learned how to knit, crochet and embroider from her. She was the best! Beautiful samplers.

My favorite Grandmother memory was her teaching me to bake.

My grandma lived in another state. We visited often and when we traveled home she would send along little car activity gifts like paper dolls and coloring books to open every 100 miles. This would always make the trip home fun.

Great stories. My grandmother would be 122 years old next week! It’s hard to believe. She lived to be 88 years old. I had her into my adulthood and learned cross stitch and knitting , I wish I had paid attention to her cooking!

My favorite grandmother memory is of my Dad’s mother. When I was about about 7, she taught me to embroider a pillowcase. It started my love of all things fiber-y! She embroidered a family tree in wool when I was in HS that I now own and treasure.

I was very close to my grandmother. She passed in 2002 at 83 years old, and I wish she could have lived forever! I still miss her so much. My best memories of her are sitting in her kitchen in the early morning eating Corn Flakes and hearing the bluejays. I still love bluejays because they make me think of her. She was also the queen of Thanksgiving. Everything was made from scratch and she did it all by herself (the meal and all the pies!). That was her holiday. It's still not the same for me now, not at all. I also remember when I first got my license, picking her up and taking her to Papa Ginos for pizza and french fries. She also gave me a ruby ring when I turned 16 that she got when she was 16. She was very, very special and I still think of her every day. Sorry this is so long Teresa, but I really can't say enough about her. She was amazing. Thank you for this great video and for letting me share my grandmother's memory. I actually stitched BBD My Heart Can Rest in her memory. It came out beautiful.

My paternal grandmother was the only grandmother I knew. My parents were married for 10 years before I was born, so she thought she would never be a grandmother. As a result, we were very close. She taught me to sew and to try new things that interested me. Shortly before a stroke left her unable to live independently, she spent Christmas with us. I was 18 and bought an African violet embroidery kit and she sat and watched me as I stitched it. Her sight failed her several years earlier and she always missed stitching. She was beyond thrilled when she opened the package on Christmas morning, containing that piece. It is in my sewing room now. I have loving thoughts of her every time I thread a needle and take a stitch. Thanks for allowing me to share those thoughts. Happy memories and stitching to you!

It’s so nice to visit with you Theresa and just spend time hearing about all the beautiful samplers!!! 💚

I only was able to meet one of my grandparents. As my grandma got older, she came and stayed with us. She used my bedroom so I got to go sleep upstairs with my older sisters. I would go into grandmas room and the memory that has always stuck with me was her bobby-pins. She had white bobby-pins to match her grey hair. Now if I see a white bobby-pin, I always think of my grandma.

My maternal grandmother was an excellent cook. Her dinner rolls were heavenly and her fried chicken was out of this world. She raised 12 children (3 sets of twins) on a farm in Tennessee. Of course I didn't know her then but I knew my aunts, uncles and cousins. Sunday meals at her house when she moved to Gary, Indiana were epic. Yes, she wore a hat and gloves with her Sunday dresses. It broke my mom and dad's heart when she died. We buried her beside Grandfather in Tennessee. I remember so many of her sons and my uncles crying at the gravesite. Sorry for these sad parts! She was very skilled at everything she did as both a wife and mother and worked their farm as well. I watched several times as she grabbed a chicken, beheaded, plucked, gutted and then fried it for dinner. Have you ever chased a chicken with its head cut off? hilarious! Thanks for reminding me about the life she led.

My grandmother had her purse stuck in the bus’back doors, she fell and the wheel went over one leg, and also she had paralyzed on the left side. I’ve always known her living at our house in a hospital bed in the big front windows. She loved to laugh and she had my aunt hide candies and little gifts for me. When my aunt went to Atlantic City she brought back a plate as a souvenir for her. It was painted and not supposed to be used for food. But my grandmother insisted every day to have her meals in that plate. I still remember everyone telling her she was not supposed to eat off that plate to no avail. She died on new year’s eve when I was 12. I’ve always kept that plate. Loved you video! Thank you for sharing. Nicole 🇨🇦

Thank you for the video and the exclusive, stitch a long. My memories of my Grandmother. I have so many because lived to be 101 almost 102, She past 3 years ago and i miss her so much. She was my best friend. We could talk about anything and everything. She and Grandpa came visit us every year in ND. When she got older and she couldn't travel. I would visit her every year in Oregon. We would cook together and play cards together. She would play dice games with me and at 101 when see couldn't see but could roll dice. She would beat me at dice game.🤗 She was a loving, caring and wise women whom i miss every day. 😪

My grandmother lived to be 99 and she was sharp as a whip until the last year of her life. She loved to crochet and do ceramics. I have an afghan that she made for me for Christmas when I was ten years old (45 years ago!!) One of my favorite memories of her is the day that I beat her at a game of Scrabble-who knew Grandma was such a sore loser!!😂 I am in love with that black Quaker sampler that you are going to reproduce and happy to hear it’s on the short list because I WANT TO STITCH THAT ONE SO BAD!!!

Another fun Flosstube, Kristy! Thank you for showing two of my patterns! The saltbox with pumpkins is called Pumpkins For Sale. You always inspire! Hugs, Lori

Very excited to see you are offering International Shipping this week! Thank you 🙂

I was so fortunate to have close relationships with both of my grandmothers. One was Irish and one was a Scot. I'm contemplating adding one of their names and dates on the Margaret Doyle Sampler. Many thanks for your video. They are always a gift.

I have so many wonderful memories with my Grandma Anne who sadly just passed mid July. I have such a deep sorrow in my heart for loosing her but I know she is happy with my grandpa in heaven now. She had a tremendous faith and a huge love for Christmas. Many of my memories are of the huge family Christmas celebrations at their log home nestled on an 80 acre Christmas Tree farm. One year she had a gentleman come with his two Belgian plow horses and his sleigh and we had nighttime sleigh rides through the Christmas trees. It was quite magical. Snatched one of the HATS exclusive charts with the fabric and 100.3 as soon as it went live! Can't wait to stitch it. The blues and reds got me as usual😂

My maternal and paternal grandma was deceased when I was born. As well as their husbands. Therefore, I never knew a grandparent. Sad, isn’t it? Thanks for inspiring us. I look forward to your videos. 🍂🍁🍂🍁🎃😻

So glad to see you back and with a beautiful stitch along too how awesome! I lost my dad when he was only in his fifties which is my age now. Anyways his parents lived in upstate NY at the time where I was born and we lived until I was about 8. Bit very far from Arizona where we moved to. On the on year anniversary of his death they called me. I was at home during the week in the middle of the day as I always take my birthday week off from work. They weren’t into showing emotion but they knew how hard it was for me to lose my dad and how close we were. So they called and I asked my grandma if they had called because they knew it was a hard time. She didn’t acknowledge but just hearing her sweet voice made me feel so close to my dad and to them. I’ll never forget that phone call. Ok crying now but that’s ok.

My grandma lived to 95 years old. She always was busy making quilts, bread and great meals. The best memory I have is her teaching me how to tat. She bought the shuttle and thread. When I finally made a medallion, I gave it to her and she sat down and cried. She never cried so I knew I had touched her. Still miss her to this day.

My grandmother used to decide what pie was for dessert before deciding what to have for dinner. She made a delicious apple pie!

My grandma memory. I got to spend a few weeks each summer with my grandma and grandpa. I thought I had the absolute best grandma because she was the supervisor of the local playground. We would go open the playground, unchain all the swings and other equipment and get things set up for the day. There was a covered area with picnic tables so if it rained, we colored or played card or board games. We HAD to stay there until it was time to put everything away and close up. Those were the best summers growing up!

I remember when I was little, I used to help my grandma make bread. Her bread making bowl was an orange enamelware bowl. Unfortunately, they suffered a fire and that as well as all their possessions were lost, so I have very few of her things to treasure. But every antique store I go into, I look for an orange enamelware bowl.

So good to see you again. I know you work very hard and it's more for you to do,but I enjoy your videos SO MUCH! I remember my paternal grandmother making delicious apple pies which we would enjoy at her house after Mass on Sundays. I also still have a prayer cap she crocheted for me when I was around 7 or 8. I have many good memories of my maternal grandmother. She was a very country woman and wife of a coal miner. She always wore cotton dresses- unless she was going to pick blackberries in my grandfather's pants and flannel shirt. She had never had her haircut and wore it either in a loose,hair-pinned bun or one long 'plait' down her back. She helped me sew some quilt pieces on her treadle machine. She lived 2 counties away and I got my first teaching job at a school near her home. Each afternoon when school let out,I could turn right and head home or left to go see her( Paw had passed by this point). I'm so glad for the many times I went left and would drive down that one lane country road where I would find her on the porch glider watching to see if I would come. It was the high point of her day. We would sit at her kitchen table and talk while I would snack on some country bacon and one of her delicious biscuits that she would save for me. I still miss her too and wish I could still pull up to see her on the porch.

Such a lovely visit. My grandma had a very hard life. Her husband died and she raised five children. My most treasured memory is her Christmas Eve gift of new, soft flannel pajamas. The wonderful feeling of softness and new fabric smell is such a Christmas memory that I recall even today at the age of 74!

I do enjoy your flosstubes! Your comments about Cross Stitch and Country Craft magazines was great. I still have all the magazines! And Sandy Orton is a great designer. I’ve sewn all the Heirloom Christmas stockings she designed several times as I have 17 grandchildren 😊

My grandmother lived to be 100+4 months. She instilled in me the importance of cleanliness ( she was a nurse ). She always would say things like, “soap and water” is not expensive and “brighten the corner where you live”. She had a lot of little sayings. She’s also the reason I cross stitch and quilt.

Wasn’t I surprised when you pulled out that Lego box. I just finished mine and can’t wait to get it up on the wall!! 💫 Happy building 😊

My favorite memory of my grandma was her sugar cookies! Oh my!!! They literally melted in your mouth! I am so excited to join you in the SAL! Counting the days!!!

My Grandma was always cooking something. She was well known for her angel food cakes and noodles. At Christmas we would make all kinds of candy. The woman had hands of steel. I can remember her stretching peanut brittle that nobody else could touch and she always washed her dishes with boiling water. She was the oldest daughter and only went to school until 8th grade. She moved into town to live with a family to do housework and sent money back home so her sisters could finish school.

I forgot to add my favorite memory, there are so many. She taught me to sew clothing and in the summer she would take me and my sister to buy school clothes and when grandpa came home from work we would put on a fashion show. Then on Sunday they would take us someplace special and we would get to wear one outfit. My grandparents were very special and good to us as my mom was a single mom. I miss them dearly

I remember going to my grandmas on Sundays for dinner. In the summer we would stay all night with her and we would walk to the flea market on Mondays. One Monday I was cold and I remember mamaw buying me a little sweater. I was so proud of that sweater! She was so so precious. Loved her very very much!

My grandmother was the epitome of a southern family matriarch. We gathered at her house for Sunday lunches and all special occasions. She was an amazing cook and an excellent seamstress. My mother was the head majorette in the high school band, and my grandmother made all the band uniforms. I can’t even imagine. But, one of my favorite memories of her has to do with my first pregnancy. She was the first person that my husband and I told the news. Her three other great grandchildren had been boys. She was positive that I would be the one to have a girl. She was so certain that she went the next day and bought her a Feltman Brothers smocked dress to come home in. 💕 A few months went by and one morning I received a call at work that I needed to leave and go to my grandmother’s immediately. She had passed away that morning, very unexpectedly. Our family was in shock. A couple of months later I was due for an ultrasound. My husband and I had decided that if possible, we’d like to find out the gender. As the ultrasound progressed, I noticed that the two technicians kept looking at each other and whispering. I started to get worried. Finally they told us that they usually didn’t give a one hundred percent positive result, but they told us we were definitely having a baby girl. Mama was right all along, and several weeks later, we brought home a healthy baby girl that shares a middle name with the great grandmother she never met.

Thanks for sharing! My grandmother was a sewer, quilter (I have a hand quilted quilt she made for me when I was very young) and a crocheter (I have crocheted shawls she made for me and my mom). She lived in South Carolina and I always remembered her birthday 8-8-8 which was also my parents address for many years! She made all her clothes and she made the best homemade banana pudding. The pudding itself was made in a cast iron skillet with a handful of flour, some milk, eggs, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Nothing measured! But it was perfect every time. BTW real banana pudding is Not baked and has No meringue! It is pudding layered alternately with bananas and vanilla wafers ending with wafers on top! OMG it's good. Thank you grandma for being there!

I totally enjoyed our visit today. Love your stitching and I'm motivated to get busy on mine. My grandmother was a dear one. I lived with her until I married. She and my granddaddy raised me. She could do anything! She was a great cook, needleworker, and she rocked me. She was the best hugger in the world. I have some of the things she made and some that we worked on together. I now am a great-grandmother and still aspire to be more like her.

My maternal grandmother had a huge crock bowl that she used to do her yearst dough every night. No store bought bread in her house! She lived in rural Louisiana during a time when most girls were not schooled, she did not read or write but could cook like a dream. In addition to the bread she made the best vegetable soup and every time we went to visit ( we were the only ones that lived out of state) she would make the soup and give me a quart jar to take home but it was always gone long before we made it home.

My favorite grandmama memory is helping her make butter in a churn and eating the fresh butter and making tea cakes with it!!! Freshly made butter is about the best thing I have ever eaten!!! She put the butter in wooden molds and sold them in her small grocery store next to her house!!! Simple times!!!

Many memories of my grandma who lived close to us and in later years with us, with her sixth grade education read her King James Bible through every year!

I am fortunate to still have my grandma. She is 91 years old and recently fell and broke her hip, fortunately she healed quickly and is back and home (she lives alone) She taught me to play scrabble and clue, she makes the best coleslaw and has been crocheting baby blankets since she did mine 56 years ago.

I have so many great memories of my maternal Grandma. She was a talented gardener, seamstress, quilter, crocheted (is that a word?) and could often make things out of almost nothing. She also canned and froze produce from her garden and even churned butter from the milk from her milk cows. (Her butter mold is one of my treasured possessions.). I remember many Sunday family dinners at her house when the dinner table would practically be groaning from the weight of all the wonderful food she'd prepared. Every week she'd say, "I hope I made enough!"

One of my favorite memories with my paternal grandmother was her taking me and my cousin to Marshall Field's in downtown Chicago where she used to work in the stationary section and getting a behind the scenes tour including eating in the employee cafeteria! She let us get whatever we wanted so I, of course, ordered all chocolate items and she let me, even though I couldn't eat it all and she must have known that.

My grandma was a quilter. I remember when I was little she would hand me small bits of fabric under the quilting frame at her house. She would also make me climb up the pear tree and shake the top of the tree because pears on the ground were rotten! Ha!

Theresa, started to binge your videos from no. 1 recently. Just watched #5 and you were talking about Vincent Van Gogh. I don’t know if you ever watch Dr. Who, but there was an episode where they met Vincent. It ended with a scene where they brought him into the future and let him see his paintings in a museum and hear comments about them. You can see just that part on KZfaq. Search Dr. Who and Vincent Van Gogh. It will make you cry, I promise. Love your Stitchy tubes. I also stitch with cats so love to see your babies in the background.

My grandma memory is she made the best bread and when you come over she always had homemade bread and could always smell that she had just made it. ❤

Tons of fond memories of my grandmothers. Especially the one who gave me her stitchy gene. I remember sitting on the floor with squares of fabric, stitching them by hand. She eventually made those blocks into a quilt for me. I still love quilting, stitching and anything "old" like Granny. My favorite things are her journals, which I inherited when she passed last year. Great notes of weather, cows, kids and even remarks of recipes that didn't quite turn out- lol.

I have so many fond memories of my Grandma Della that it is hard to pick one. She lived up in the mountains of Kentucky. I remember when I was very young she would help us get water from a bucket she carried from the cistern. We would drink out of a large ladle and the water was freezing cold! To this day, in my memory it is the best tasting water I have ever drank. She used to let us nap on her huge feather bed during the day and she made the best biscuits. Good grief. I miss her so. Thanks for sharing your beautiful stitching and charts! Hugs from NE Ohio.

Hi!!! You only have 15 wips 🤯🤯🤯. My favorite gma memory is helping her in her shop. She had a small mom and pop shop she ran for decades.

My grandma lived in the country. I would spend a week there every summer. She loved to play games, garden and bake. I have her recipe book and box. I remember riding my bike down the lane by the house, helping her in her beautiful flower garden and sewing clothes on her sewing machine. I remember her tatting and she sewed her own aprons. I think I must have gotten my crafty skills from her.

My Grandma taught me how to sew and stitch, also how to cook. I always felt so much love from her. I have her Singer sewing machine, still runs perfectly. She always had a garden and would pick all her produce and load it into a wagon, then take it around her neighborhood to all the widows and needy. There were also a couple of loaves of bread to gift. She was full of energy and so much fun. Miss her!

Growing up, I had the privilege of living next door to my Granny Peevy. When you walked in the back door, there was a cabinet above the counter next to the cook top that housed a large stash of Pop-Tarts just for the grandkids on the hill. It was always a treat to sit and visit and slowly eat my Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tart, my favorite. She was a cross-stitcher and I have taken two of her stitched pieces (frogs with quirky sayings) and made project bags; they bring a smile to my face. Love all your new sampler releases and upcoming ones, too. Take care. Happy Stitching! 🧵

The think I remember about my grandma was she wouldn’t speak English and couldn’t read nor write. Everything was Italian but she showed me how to to crochet a doily just by looking at the pattern. Even though it was crochet it helped me when I would get stuck on cross stitch problem.

My mommom always had star mints in her purse and when ever we acted up or were crying or cross she would get a mint, pop it in our mouths and say" there that will sweeten your disposition!!" I miss that woman every day.

Hi Teresa! Good to see your smiling face again! My Grandma Clark was born in 1894 in Pine Knot, KY. She rode the train to Idaho in 1916, where she met my grandfather and lived on our family cattle ranch, where I grew up. It was 65 miles to the nearest town for groceries, and when I was little, it was 35 miles to the first paved road. There were several spots where you had to make some switchbacks down the side of a canyon and Grandma was scared to ride down the side of the canyon in the car. My Dad would have to stop the car and let her out at the top of the grade, then we would all drive down the hill and sit and wait for her at the bottom of the hill. One hill was about a mile long, so it would take her 15 or 20 minutes to get back to the car. She always wore dresses and dress shoes and a hat and gloves to town, and she would carry a small towel in her purse to dust her shoes off when she got back in the car. You could never tell she had walked part of the way to town when we arrived, she always looked sharp as a tack. I will never forget those car rides to town with Grandma Clark. She was a nurse and a school teacher and taught at several one room schools in rural Idaho and Nevada. She passed away in 1984. She also did wonderful crocheting and embroidery. Happy stitching and charting til next time! 🪡🧵🪡🐝🌻🌻🍁🍂🍁🍂🤎🧡💛

My favorite grandma memory was when she when we were snapping beans on her front porch. We were listening to my little transistor radio and "Too Young" starts playing by Donny Osmond. My grandmother said, "I like that song. He's kind of cute, isn't he?" This was the first time I'd heard my grandmother say anything about music. From that point on, she would always have something to say about the music that was playing. I still have that little transistor radio!

I have such wonderful memories of my Grandma! We shared a birthday and were 2 peas in a pod. One of my favorite things about her was her flower garden. In the Spring, we would plant together, and she'd put her hands around mine to show me how to put the dirt around plants. I can shut my eyes and still feel her hands over mine. Such warmth and love. Beautiful samplers! I'm glad you had a good visit with your sister. That pie sounds awesome!Cooler weather here in the desert now, and it's very welcome! Happy stitching.

My fond memories of my Grandma Mae are of always having red Faygo pop and jello pudding pops (which you can’t buy in the stores anymore😞).

My grandmas would love that my sister and I are stitching and quilting. They did so many crochet, and other crafting projects. My Dad's mother always said when you sew clothing, the inside seams should look so good you would be proud to wear them inside out, to show off your beautiful seams. Love your floss tubes,, if you made them everyday, I would be watching each and every one.

One of my memories of my grandma always makes me smile. When we visited it was usually over a weekend since we lived a few hours drive apart. Grandma always liked to play cards with my brothers and I after dinner on Saturday. She would always win and when we discovered that she had cheated, she would laugh and laugh! Grandma loved to have a good time despite a life that wasn’t very easy. Thanks for listening Theresa! Great video, as usual.

Another great video ❤ My grandma helped me with patchwork. Grandpa would draft the patchwork patterns. The summer before I left for college I remember spending the day at Grandma’s house arranging the quilt blocks for my quilt top, adding the sashing and stitching the quilt top together. All the while Geandma shared her personal story of when she left home to attend high school in a larger town. A wonderful memory. I am returning to cross stitch (started in the 1980s) after a career in appliqué quiltmaking. It is a new challenge and absorbing. I think many quiltmakers are turning to cross stitch these days.😊

Liked your recent Flosstube very much. It was just right-good blend of personal, stitching and shop. My maternal grandmother was so kind to us. She brought up my mother alone, a “widow”, and made a living through her sewing. When we were in elementary school, she gave my sister and me our own sewing baskets, complete with scissors and tape measures. I’ve held on to that-it was a favorite gift. Seeing it always reminds me of her.

Hi Theresa! My favorite grandma memory was visiting her in Long Island and going to the local deli for rare roast beef and warm deli potato salad and a cream soda! My mouth waters every time I think of it! Never heard her be cross about anything, and always had a wonderful smile. She had a lazy eye, so you never quite knew if she was looking at you or someone else. But just the sweetest, most delightful grandma! I am also always telling my grown son about flosstube. He will be thrilled to hear you love Legos! He’s 32 and still playing and collecting. My friend’s son just finished the Van Gogh one. It is awesome! Have fun!

I used to spend a week or two each summer with my grandmothers - one in Oklahoma and one in Arkansas. I remember cutting hexagon pieces using a cardboard template to sew into a quilt. I might have sewn enough to make a coaster. When she died there was an unfinished quilt top of bright solid hexagons partially sewn into a huge diamond shape that I brought home. I still need to finish that and another unfinished quilt top from her. My other grandmother was a knitter and she tried to teach me to knit without much success. Many find memories of them both.

My favorite memory of my grandma or Popo is about Chinese New Years. Popo would have a celebration at her house and invite the whole family. After a huge dinner, the children would serve Popo tea. There would be a large assortment of special candied fruits and vegetables to sweeten the tea. Each child would take their turn Wishing grandma happiness, luck and a long life. Grandma in turn would give the child a small red envelope wit h lucky money for the New Year.

My favorite grammie would sit me down in her banquet table and she would make me a juice glass of coffee with cream and sugar and we would talk about life. I was 5yrs old. I still love espresso to this day. My growth was never stunted. LOL!! Thank you for the great video.

THERESA!!! My best grandma memory is watching Murder She Wrote with my Grandma Betty. She also always had oatmeal creme pies and saltines for snacks 👍🏻. She is currently 90 and still living independently! M SATTERTHWAITE IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!

My grandmother loved to quilt and sew. I remember helping her cut out patterns that were pinned to the fabric. She liked fabrics too. She spent countless hours doing this however, they had to make all of their clothes and quilts back then since they lived in a rural area

I have great memories of embroidering my grandma’s purple flower apron while she was making it. And making pies and setting them out in the window to cool. I have her rolling pin, and all China. Great memories of her.

Well Teresa, its not just my stitching that is looking dated.lol At 67 I have been stitching since I was a girl. First embroidery, then crewel and in 1978, a friend taught me cross stitch and I never looked back. I have seen so many changes and all for the good. Like you I remember Cross Stitch and Country Crafts. It was my favorite cross stitch magazine. As for my grandmother she was a quilter, tatter and embroiderer. So I know she would love to see all my needlework.

My Grandma Hulda was in a Nursing Home from the time I can remember but when she came to visit us she would always peel apples for us kids. My mom was a very busy mom of six and didn’t have time to peel apples so it was such a treat. But from her many years of experience grandma could peel an apple all in one strip. We kids thought that was amazing.

My grandma memory is: she could roll the kitchen window out, she would yell "Johnny"? And a crow would come land on the window ledge to get a piece of bologna

My grandma made pickles we as kids we loved them. She made them in big gallon jar and the ingredients came from her garden. We always ran to the kitchen to get one as soon as we got there.

A sweet memory I have of my grandma is going to her home and she would pull me aside and share a beautiful piece of her costume jewelry with me. Love that Quaker sampler you acquired!

My grandmother was a beautiful and elegant lady! I remember her hand sewing an outfit for my doll! I can’t wait to buy the new sampler with the pink house! ❤

Love that Quaker sampler! Glad you got it - it was obviously meant to be yours 🙂. My Grandparents lived in a big old Victorian house with lots of old antiques, a "back" staircase and a big playhouse in the backyard. My Grandmother was a fabulous cook and baker and made everything from scratch. It was so fun to go there for a visit.

What a happy day to see a new video featuring Teresa & Zero 😄. I have so many memories of my Grandmother, but my favorites are waking up early to the smell of her brewing Folgers coffee & opening all the windows to let in the fresh air.

One of my grandma memories is school shopping with her for a new outfit each year. It always had to have pink in order for her to pay for it. Macramé projects on the cabin porch was also so fun.

My grandmother's maiden name was Williams. (I keep eyeing that Mary Williams chart because of it. Lol) She lived within walking distance of my house and I would pass by on my way home from school. She was an avid reader, and loved to cook and sew. I remember her pumpkin rolls that she would make for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I liked to go into her garden to fetch a mess of green beans and then sit with her to clean them. She would cook them up with a bit of fatty ham and some chopped onions. Nothing could compare. Hi, Zero! Hi, Ruby! Missed seeing you guys and Theresa, too.

Thank you for another wonderful video and so fun to catch up with your projects and loved the show 'n tell. My grandma, on my mom's side, had seventeen children, and I fondly remember when going into their old farmhouse, her counters and old wood stove were filled with yummy things all cooking in very large pots. She had a massive garden and so many beautiful jars of homemade canning, such fond memories.

T, you are such a joy to watch. I love how you feel about your kitties (same here). My gramma would have been 102 this year. I lost her 25 years ago and it still stings. She was like a second mom to me. Raised many kids by herself, did tons of cooking, canning, gardening. Took care of feral kitties even though she was afraid of cats!

I found you thanks to Nicola's FlossTube. I love the HATS sampler and will be joining you for the SAL. When you mentioned you live in Mississippi, I thought hmmm... she sounds like a Minnesota girl, then you mentioned growing up in MN! Greetings from central MN! My favorite memory of my paternal grandma is she used to take us on "turkey rides". She'd drive us around some county roads looking for wild turkeys. If we were really lucky, we would stop at DQ for a treat. When she'd drop us off at home, she would toot her horn, and hang out the window crowing like a rooster! I miss her so much!

Thank you for asking about my grandmother! She is one of the best people I've ever known and was lucky to have her until I was a senior in college. I loved her so much I named my daughter Anna after her. She did stamped cross stitch and I am lucky enough to have her sewing basket (one of the old fold out ones on stands - looks like a little table) next to me! My favorite childhood memory is sitting under the trees and having a tea party with her old willow tea set (which I also have.) Looking forward to seeing her again someday! But between now and then I'm also looking forward to your HATS SAL!

I am glad that you are back. I just ordered your exclusive HATS chart. I don’t have any memories of my grandmothers as both died in their 40s. 😢 I met my paternal step grandmother once. She made the best tamales. I remember making corn husk dolls with her when she visited us.

It was GREAT to see you again! I just LOVE your videos! I have many grandma memories! My sisters(I have 4)& I & 2of my girl cousins would spend a whole week in the summer with our grandparents & just help her do stuff we thought was fun. She had a collection of cool & quirky salt & pepper shaker sets on shelves that we would dust for her. We loved them & loved doing that for her! Wanted to comment too about Legos. My son & daughter loved them as kids & my 5 grandchildren love them too. My daughter buys sets that she & her 2 boys( my grandsons) put together. She loves them as much or more than they do! I am excited about all you have coming up! Thank you for sharing!

So glad that you got to spend time with your sister!! My best friend and I from HS had a thing about real pink houses!!! I am up to +6 readers, which are perfect for 40 count.💜

My Grandma Warsing was a Renaissance Woman! She lived to be 103 through three centuries! She was an awesome cook, and was hired by Kraft Foods during the depression to teach women how to make meals frugally and with what was available. She and my grandpa also managed an apartment building, which she continued to manage alone after she was widowed at 65. She also was a bank teller. My grandma was always in a dress, stockings, heels, and makeup everyday! I spent a week at grandma’s every summer, which was always wonderful, but what I remember most is the great meals she made out of seemingly nothing!

What a great bunch of wonderful samplers in your video today. Hard to decide which I liked best. My Grandmother loved to play games (you mentioned kings corner and that was a favorite). She was always ready to play with the grands. She loved her sweets and always had some to share. She sewed my grandfather's pajamas. I have an unfinished pair and the pedal machine her brother electrified for her. Memories can just go on forever.

I had to giggle at your comment about the Noah's Ark sampler being a little out of date when you are charting antique samplers that were also considered a little out of date at some point in time. Your recent reproductions are lovely. I have so, so many memories of my grandmothers. My "Little Grandma" was so soft and sweet, raised 11 children, and never had a bad word to say about anyone except for the woman that stiffed her for some custom baking back in WW2. She sewed, quilted, embroidered, and crocheted. Her noodles and pickled beets were outstanding. She would read and read to us and would tell stories of when she was little. We both got a good laugh out of "Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer" but my other grandma didn't care for that song at all. Grandma John was tall and stern but always had us to visit for a week at her house in the summer and gave us money to buy candy at the store. Her car was always needed to be washed if you needed a little extra cash. She raised the best strawberries and lima beans and her bread, rolls, and cinnamon rolls were fabulous. We worked at a hospital together for awhile and I was driving us to work one morning in her newish car when we were T boned. Her car was totaled and she was in hospital for 6 weeks. When I apologized for the accident she said "not to worry about it, she'd been thinking about getting a new car anyway". I still miss them terribly. I do my best to grandmother the way they did. Lots of love, enough rules to make you a decent person, and shared experiences.

My grandmother was Nannie, and I miss her to this day. I am 77 years old and still want to be just like her when I “grow up!” She would allow me to help with the laundry, my granddad’s hankies were placed out on the grass to dry, this was my job, along with handing her the clothes pins from a box my grandad had painted “Wet Paint” when he painted the front porch. I still have that box and cherish it to this day. I thank you for helping me to keep those memories alive🤗
