My forever loves. The history of these little stitchers is amazing!!!

Love Love Love Hands Across the Sea Samplers. I have done 1 by her and got a few that still needs to be kitted up to be done. I also ordered the Rose Quaker by Stickideen von der Weihenburg got the fabric and threads. I would love to stitch Ms Lucy! Thanks for stopping by for another visit please come again soon!

Hi! I love Blackbird Designs and the quaker samplers. My wips are Christmas Garden and Merrily We Welcome Spring. That halloween one is amazing. Primitive stitching is all so pretty. You did a great job with this video. You mentioned the best flosstubers in the business. Happy stitching! 🇺🇸🥰💃

Hands Across the Sea, Long Dog Samplers and so many that you mentioned. I love all the different styles. Thanks for the neat pod. I enjoyed it very much. Long dog gave away a pandemic sampler, I think I will do that next.

My mother collects samplers but ironically I never paid attention to them until I started watching Flosstube. Now I want them on my walls. I am currently stitching Maria Finney from Teresa Venette. I joined SG Country Samplers Girls Club to get 4 kits a year, they are fabulous. I purchased several from many designers and am slowly kitting them up. I work on them every night and love every minute. Thanks for the video.

Great video Stacy, I look forward to seeing the rest of your collection☺. I am starting to 'get into' sampler stitching myself and it is fun to explore the different ones from all sorts of places. I just ordered a Reflet de Soie chart from France and am eagerly waiting for it to show up! Have fun stitching and we will see you next time!

Just loved this episode, thanks so much for showing us all the beautiful samplers. I find it fascinating that so many of today’s designers are inspired by antique samplers and create their own. And I enjoyed so much hearing how you got into samplers. What a small piece can do. Take care Stacy and I will keep an eye out for your next sampler episode.

I love the crows, how fun, love Nicolas Samplers. So many great choices! Woohoo

What a FUN video! Can't wait for the next Sampler special. My first sampler is Modern Folk Embroidery 2020 Family Patchwork Sampler. I'm also doing Long Dog Sampler's Pandemic and Pavane of These Times. Each are different color schemes and fabric counts. I'm LOVING them!

Thank you for your informative flosstube! I love so many sampler designers - Rosewood Manor, Scarlet Letter, Samplers Remembered, Needle's Prayse - the list is endless!

I have always been in love with samplers. My favorite designers are Scarlet Letter and Hands Across the Sea. I like the reproduction samplers for the history they represent and the variety of stitches used in each sampler. Love this video and the more I learn about samplers, the more I want to stitch them. Thank you for doing this series!

Thank you so much for doing these videos, Stacy. I’m so grateful that you take the time. I am so interested in starting a sampler. Been wanting to tackle one for some time. I love all the designers you mentioned and I look forward to more of your videos. 😘🌷🌺💕

Wonderful. Samplers have always been my favorites. Very informative. Thank you!!

I have been stitching Just Nan for years. Love the designs.

Seeing all your charts and projects. Thank you very much Miss Lucy Calcutta is a gorgeous chart. I loved seeing all your WIPs.

Thank you for sharing these beautiful samplers. Like you, when I came back to stitching, I wasn’t interested in the samplers. Now, that’s almost all I want to do. I only have one started and that’s a Blackbird design. I would love the opportunity to stitch the design you shared. Thank you for taking the time to share your stitching! Lynette 💕

When you do your videos, it's clear that you have certainly enjoyed "re-finding" your love of needlework and they are truly a pleasure to watch! I've stitched the Permin 1790 sampler with that huge swan at the bottom and loved doing it. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have coming up with showing various samplers. Hope your leg continues to heal :))).

Fun that you are getting into samplers. They are my favorite thing to stitch. I have Snooty Parrot started as well as Dutch Beauty. Look forward to seeing more of your sampler stitching.

I have always loved samplers. I do want to buy the Mary 395 soon and get that one started. Thank you so much for doing these videos. So interesting. Have a great weekend!!

Loved this type of video. Just a great vieuw of all the diverent samplers and quackers. I normaly dont do them but love seeing them. Thank you for sharing. X Jantina

I have just returned to cross stitch after many years and am loving the samplers. I am working on Sarah Spencer from Hands across the Seas and have ordered supplies for Long Dog Samplers, The Templar Prophecy and Pandemic. Love your podcast.

I just started stitching and I love that sampler! I didn't like them until you really showed them up close now i want to stitch them!

What a great video! I saw several that should be here in my collection! The Reflet de Soie and the other French designer were really pretty. Plus loved the Quakers and Hands Across the Sea! I’ve stitched several so far. The coffee Quaker is framed in my kitchen and I have several lurking in my WIPs! Thanks for sharing these and enabling us a little more!

You have very lovely samplers shown. Thanks so much. I always thought that I do not have enough linen ... now I know I also need more beautiful charts. I love the samplers from hands across the sea, they are so lovely. And I also love all kind of Quaker sampler.

Thanks for showing Miss Lucy! =) I hope the winner really enjoys stitching her!

I love Hands Across the Sea samplers, GiGi R, Reflets de Soie. Great video! Enjoyed the overview and can’t wait for more!

I was on the fence about samplers until I saw Mercedes Ospina 1863 from Queenstown Sampler Designs. Love, love it! Thanks for the chart parade.

Hi. What a delight. You showed a few samplers I had never seen before. I love The Scarlet House, Gigi R, Shakespeare's Peddler, Modern Folk Embroidery, etc etc etc I am also stitching Dutch Beauty at the moment. About one third done. Loving every second of it. Thank you for your flosstube. My thoughts have been with you and your family so much lately. I would love to stitch Lucy. She is a beauty.

I love hats Nicola is amazing to watch. I’ve never stitched a sampler yet. But I find them beautiful ❤️

I'm so glad you are doing sampler videos . The more I see them, the more I like them. My newest favorite samplers are Beth Twist's Consider the Lilies and His Eye Is On the Sparrow. I just ordered them and can't wait to start them. I also like Quaker samplers and really enjoyed the samplers from other countries.

Normally I wait until the weekend to watch, but I couldn’t wait this time!! I absolutely love samplers!! Great first sampler video and I am going to start Snooty Parrots for my birthday month, so I will be starting on October 1st, hope you will join us!! My favorite sampler designer is HATS, but I love Rosewood Manor and the Scarlett House as well. Happy stitching 🧵 my friend, hugs Debbie

I loved that you showed the different styles of samplers. So interesting! I want to do your little Crow one!

Was not that excited by cross stitch but watching this video I have gained interest. Thank you for sharing.

I was the same, started at 7 and then stopped. Just now started again and couldn’t believe the new items available! I love samplers also and the history!

Super fun video. Keep up the good work. I’m looking forward to your next input.

I love Hands Across the Sea samplers and am absolutely loving Teresa Koguts new samplers. Thanks for your sampler parades, am loving it!!

I became attracted to samplers just like you did, by accident. I never thought I would be stitching alphabets or houses and then I saw Lori Holt's Quilters Cottage sampler and fell in love! Who knew I would like stitching houses! I have not started a stash yet, but seeing your parade has made me want to start putting items on my Christmas wish list! I loved this video and I hope you do more chats about samplers. It was very informative.

I love all of the samplers but especially the ones coming out from Hands Across the Sea. Thanks for sharing.

Your collection of samplers is amazing..thanks for showing all the eye candy...I would love to stitch Lucy. And right now am thinking my next sampler will be my rosewood manor music among the trees. Love anything rosewood manor

Great video! I have loved samplers for a very long time. There's not enough hours in the day to stitch all that I want to stitch. I have stitched two of My Big Toe Quaker Endurance Sampler, one for each of my pastors. Lookiong forward to seeing your next video with more samplers. Enjoy!

Very enjoyable Flosstube. I especially liked the Reflets de Soie charts.

I love Hands Across the SeaSamplers. Just got the Mary Clayton. Have several of Blackbird samplers. Enjoyed seeing all your beautiful samplers. Can’t wait to see the rest.

Hi there! I have been a HAED fanatic for years but just recently discovered samplers and quakers. Omg! They are sooo beautiful! Rosewood Manor's and Heartspring has caught my eye, but after being introduced by you to Hands Across the Sea I'm in total awe. I need to be stitching one of their samplers. Omg! 😍 Just Stitching Along is beautiful and I would love to stitch it. Thank you for a wonderful, interesting and enabling FlossTube! //cheers from Sweden 🇸🇪

I have never stitched a sampler but would love to start one, and Lucy is beautiful. Your flosstube was very informative and sparked my interest, cant wait for your next flosstube. thank you.

I feel like I could just say “ditto” to everything you showed! I, too, have recently acquired a love for samplers. HATS is definitely one of my favorite designers. I’m currently working on Quaker Christmas II, and I have Ann Grimshaw kitted and ready to go. I would love to stitch Miss Lucy! Happy Stitching!

I like to collect Hands Across The Sea Sampler charts but recently I find myself drawn to the Quaker Samplers. Thank you so much for sharing all of your charts and WIPs and finishes. I love it all.

I love everything about samplers especially their history! They are each so different from one another. I have been faithfully following Nicola, Brenda and Laura and The Saltbox Stitcher on Flosstube just for their beautiful samplers. I am starting Martha Pugsley Sampler by Scarlett House. I'm so thrilled you've caught the bug! Can't wait to see more!

Thanks so much Stacey for this video! I love the French samplers. I didn’t know about them. The Copenhagen sampler is intricate, and I’m captured by its beauty. I took notes. Looking forward to more sampler. I’m a fan of Queen Victoria, I’ll take a look at the web site.Enjoy your stitching time!!

Long Dog Samplers and Rosewood Manor. I am currently working on 3 Long Dog patterns and 2 Rosewood manor patterns. I really wish I had more time to stitch with all of the things I have. I hope you have a great week Stacy. I love watching your videos. I cant wait to see your next sampler video.

Love all the samplers, I just ordered Quaker Noel, so glad to find your channel

I've just recently fallen in love with Samplers! Hands downs, Hands Across The Sea, Ann Roberts c.1842. Nicola Parkman, her videos! I love this video, please bring more. Be Blessed!

Wow! So interesting! My story is very similar to yours. Came back to cross stitch after 25 years and was blown away by the changes! Linen, silk, and the designs are amazing! My first sampler that I loved was The Biedermeier Sampler by Needlework Press. Now I am also smitten with samplers. Would love to be entered for Lucy Calcutt! Looking forward to your next Sampler video!

I love samplers, especially samplers with birds. Hands Across the Sea would have to be my favourite. I love how Nicola searches for information about the little girls and the history behind each sampler. I'm currently working on Harriet Salt 1866 Bristol Sampler. You have a wonderful selection and I'm looking forward to seeing your WIP's.

Great video...can't wait for more! One of my favorite sampler designers is Gigi R.....looking forward to seeing what you have to show us next time!!

Stacy, it’s was a delight to watch your Sampler’s video. I love them and I have started stitch them lately. My first one was a Little Gem by HATS which are my favorite sampler designer 😍. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy Stitching. Xoxo. Miriam

I love Samplers and my favorite designer is Brenda Keyes....I have stitched a couple Blackbird Designs...heck....I love them all!! Have a wonderful week.

I am beginning a love of samplers. I watch Nicola often, and I am looking forward to watching the other floss tube people you mentioned.

They are all so beautiful! I love HATS, Long Dog Samplers and anything Quaker. Lila's Studio is one of my favorites...about to start SL 1862.

Thank you for the video. Loved the sampler parade! I have not stitched a sampler yet, so I do not have a favorite. I really want to start one. Happy stitching 🧵

Hi Stacy! Although I’m sure I won’t be stitching an historical sampler, I can totally understand your fascination with them! 💝

Thank you, I loved seeing your sampler collection. I have just discovered Reflets de Soie and am loving the French style at the moment. I am also love Hands Across the Sea samplers, kindest regards, Karen R

Samplers and quakers didn’t interest me a year ago now I ❤️ them! Thank you for an interesting and informative video :)

Such a delightful video. I, too, am relatively new to sampler stitching, and as yet have not completed any. I am currently working on Emily’s House by Lindy Stitches and really enjoying stitching. Hands Across the Sea definitely has some of my favorites. I only want to do pieces that are straight cross stitch, and definitely do not want to do one over one stitching. I would love to give Lucy a try. Take care.

I love HATS and Heartstrings Samplery. You showed some gorgeous ones on this video. Thank you

Hello Stacey, wow what a great video, I love all your videos but this tops the lot. I love samplers. I've just come back to cross stitch after a long break where I did freestyle embroidery. Now cross stitch is another world, Flosstube was a great discovery, I'm learning so much and then there's so much else, it would take me all night to write about it. I love samplers and always have. My favourite designer at this stage is Hands Across the Sea, I want them all, I could go bankrupt here lol. But your video enlightened me of so much more, all the foreign designs and quakers are amazing. I think this is a huge rabbit hole to do down and a pleasurable one at that. Thank you so much. Love Mandy xxx

Thank you for the sampler show. About the only samplers that I have stitched have been by Shepherd's Bush so I would have to say that they are my favorite. There are so many new samplers out there now that are really beautiful and look fun to stitch that I would like to go in that direction with my stitching.

Thank you so much for showing such great patterns, like you I found my love for samplers growing as I watch so many beautifull ones on flosstube. It's hard to have a favorite, but I recently discovered the ones from Beth Twist were available on pdf (the easiest way for me to get them if I don't want to wait a long time for mail delivery) and I just finishd one by her. I guess stitching the one you are sharing must be a lot of fun, it is beautiful.

What excellent timing your Flosstube has been. I purchased the pattern and kitted up my first sampler today as a gift to myself for my birthday. I’ve chosen a Hands Across The Sea Little Gem (start small) and the design is Sarah Spencer 1870. I am just busting to start it. Thankyou for sharing some of your collection of patterns. I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you for the video about Samplers...I too, would have passed them by, but I'm starting to see how gorgeous they are! I've really been watching Teresa Kogut, as I love the beautiful designs she has created. I want to start "Pet all the dogs" and "Newcastle Bouquet"...and "Faith, Hope, Peace,Love" oh and "Land that I love". I guess, I really like her style! Love all your projects...so inspiring!!!

I just bought the school sampler. I am doing the SAL with linens and threads. Love that also! Great video

I love Quakers. GigiR, Modern Folk Embroidery, Linens and Threads are a few of my favorites. Thank you for sharing your stash.

Hands Across the Sea is my favorite designer. I just finished Anne Thomas 1854, and I’m really excited to start another one. Thanks for the great video content.

I’m loving the Land That I Love Sampler. Samplers are so beautiful. ❤️

I love samplers! I just bought the Hands across the Sea Unfidell Sisters charts from kitten stitcher. Haven’t started yet, still kitting them. Just love all the sampler charts your showed. Looking forward to the next installment of samplers video.

I like Brenda Keyes, Gigi R, Hands Across the Sea, Blackbird Designs & Scarlett House samplers. Thank you for sharing all the pretty samplers. I have added several on my list.

I love your collection of samplers... I always thought I have not enough linen. Now I realize that I also do not gave enough of beautiful charts ... my favorite samplers are the hands across the sea samplers from Nicola and I also love any kind of Quaker samplers. I enjoyed your video very much. Thanks a lot.

I just started with samplers this year, maybe because of the pandemic and being at home. So far just Quaker has garnered my attention but I am obsessed. Have to comment on how good you look.

I too didn’t think I would like to stitch samplers either. Now love them. Love seeing all,you have. I am almost finished with Ann Roberts 1842 from hands across the sea. I think those are my favorites but hard to choose love so many different ones. I have a couple from Germany that are in museums there and need to get busy. Would love to stitch Lucy. Thanks.

Wow Stacy! I loved this video and your whole idea of showing and teaching about samplers. I melt when I see the Quakers, which are my absolute favorites. But those Reflets de Soie--magnifique!! If I ever learned to stitch well enough on linen, my first Reflets de Soie projects will be Louise Lallier 1901 (for the donkey and the rooster) then G. Leger 1898 (that house and those letters...). Thank you for putting this video together. I will anxiously await your next one!

Hi! The samplers that you showed are beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I am working on The 1803 Judith Townsend Sampler by HandWork Samplers. It is fun to complete a motif and feel like you have a little finish. Have a wonderful week.

My two favorite sampler designers are Hands Across the Sea/Nicola Parkman and Lila's Studio. I loved seeing all your samplers! You had better get busy! LOL I was scheduled to attend the May 2020 Sassy Jacks Class with Nicola Parkman, but it was cancelled. I hope one day that I will get to attend one of her classes.

I never thought I would be a sampler stitcher but I am obsessed with Quakers. I think its because when I doodle, it's always in geometric shapes, so that is a comforting theme for me. Plus it's easier to correct a mistake in a symmetrical piece. I'm currently stitching Rosewood Manor's Quaker Diamonds and A Tree By Itself which is Quaker inspired. Lovely video as always.

I’m loving samplers! Anything Quaker! Redwork, oh heck, I love them all!!!

So glad I found your channel. All of a sudden, at the young age of 80, I decided to want to learn how to do samplers and learn the history. I love doing patriotic cross stitching and I believe the samplers will fit in. I am so tired of Christmas right now and bowl fillers etc. I hate trying to figure out how to finish these little things. I am definitely going to check out your recommendations for floss tubers.

This was so much fun, thank you. There is so much to learn about samplers. I have wanted to do The Little Red Chair sampler. Love Miss Lucy Calcut 1825. Can't wait for your next Flosstube.

I loved this sampler video and am anxious for your next one. I am new to the sampler world also and recently purchased Love Abide by La-D-Da; I felt like it looked easy enough for me to start down the sampler path and the wording on it spoke to me! I want to believe that when you stitch samplers you’re a much more “sophisticated” 😁 stitcher! Haven’t started it yet, but after watching your video I’ve decided to get brave and dig in. I would love to stitch Lucy, beautiful chart!

I love this video!! Everything is so beautiful!! I hope your recovery is going well, I've been praying for a speedy recovery and peace for your family during this difficult time :) I would love to stitch a New Constellation by Plum Street samplers, I have His Eye is on the Sparrow and the fabric just need to get the over dyes, can't wait! Have a great week :)

I'm working on autumn quakers now and will do all the seasons, I like lilas studio, Hearstring samplery, there are so many good designers and only started liking samplers this past few months, I'm loving them. Thank you for the chance to win this beautiful sampler

Excellent video! Looking forward to viewing more samplers. Love Lucy Calcutt! I love all samplers-Shakespeares Peddler, Hands Across the Sea, and The Scarlet Letter to name a few.

I've loved samplers since 1985 when I first saw antique ones at a National Trust property, I have to resist buying antique ones. I've stitched a few including Quaker, American, British. At the moment I'm stitching Ann Uffindell, I love Hands Across the Sea Samplers they are so beautiful also Scarlet House. Miss Lucy is a lovely one. Thanks for the video, I alway enjoy watching. Take care.

I just started Jane fiddles by hands across the sea, they are my favorite sampler designer so far. Thanks for a great video!

I’m pretty new to stitching samplers but some of my favorite designers right now are hands across the sea and the Scarlett house. I love videos like this so many new samplers to go look at thanks!

I love all those samplers! Miss Lucy is so cute!

I’m working on my very first sampler. I joined the HATS Jane Fiddes SAL. I’ve been stitching since 1983! I agree so many changes!!! I love the history behind the samplers. Love your videos! LUCY C. is on my wish list. I love Hands Across the Sea, Scarlett House, Gigi R...

I have only completed one sampler by Prairie Schooler. I am signed up for Coming to America by Brenda Gervais and can't wait to start. Thank you for a great video.

I love, love Quaker samplers! Loved this video!! Some of my favorite sampler designers are Rosewood Manor, Heartstring Samplery, Hands Across The Sea

So glad you have found a love for samplers! Thanks for the shout out of Our Sampler Years! Lovely Quakers you have, that Christmas one from Bygone stitches is one of my faves too. The original Ackworth Quaker samplers that are antiques (and their reproductions like Ann Grimshaw), they were from the girls at the Ackworth Quaker school in the UK. The motifs from those are how designers came up with original Quaker style samplers like the ones from Bygone Stitches. There were also samplers stitched by Quakers not from Ackworth that have a different style too. So much history with samplers and that is what I love about them!

Thank you for all the sampler information. I’d love to hear more in the future. I’m currently hooked on Long Dog Samplers. I have 3 so far that’ll be done in single colors and I would love to do one with colors and more spread out motifs.

I love samplers as well and have done over 35. My favorite is the Loara Standish Sampler from the Plymouth Museum. Loara was the daughter of Mikes Standish who came over on the Mayflower. It was done over three on silk and was reversible. The chart was graphed by Joanne Harvey. I was fortunate to go to Plymouth, Mass and learn the reverse stitching technique from Joanne Harvey. I have just gotten back into stitching again after a lone venture into quilting. I hope you enjoy your time stitching the works of the past and marvel at the work created by young girls. I really enjoyed your video and look forward to seeing more samplers because I do not have a store any where near me. I quickly wrote name and designers of the ones that interested me. Now to find them! Thank you

Not sure I can pick a favorite designer, but off the top of my head: Hands Across the Sea, Beth Twist, Permin of Copenhagen come to mind. Loved seeing the parade of different styles of samplers. Like you, I was never interested in samplers when I first started cross stitching back in the 90's, took a 20 year detour into knitting & quilting, came back to find a whole new world of cross stitch. It was my 2nd project that opened the sampler obsession in 2017. Now that's all I want to stitch with a few small little pinkeeps thrown in the mix. I'm looking forward to the next issue of sampler parade. Happy Stitching
