Your research into Bridget Power is so interesting. I feel you have a good reason to take a trip to Ireland to investigate further. It's very intriguing and I can see how passionate you are about it. Thanks for sharing your findings with us and I hope you may find more.

What an absolute delight and joy to be in your company. What an inspiration you are. Happy stitching and keep safe and well. Love Gail xx ❤❤

I pulled the trigger and bought the Barbara Ana charts. (It's my birthday so I treated myself...again.) They are very affordable! I'm looking forward to starting to stitch them come December. Thank you for being a calm oasis in the Flosstube world. Beautiful stitching and good information abound. Sending good thoughts to Archie!

I love your videos! Thank you for becoming a wonderful voice in the stitching community. I'm imagining the plot of a historical novel written about Bridget and her life.☺️

Oooh love that project bag!!

Thank you for your videos. Greetings from the Netherlands. Funfact: Strawberry is besides "aardbei" also called "zomerkoninkje" in dutch wich translates into english as "Small Summerking" ;)

Have you seen Barbara Ana's 'She Mad Hatter'? Very clever.

I have to send that quote to my son. He's 36 and needs to hear thus so much. Thank you

That is beautiful

What a wonderful video! So glad you are finding out about Bridget. I will have to take a look at my chart again to see the symbolism of Catholicism. I am Catholic so the Tabernacle information was very interesting. You were even mentioned on the Mondays with Mary group on Facebook this past Monday in regard to Bridget and the Colonial needles. Love seeing Archie and sending all the good vibes for his surgery and recovery. Love the ending of the video, thank you for sharing those thoughtful moments at the end. I am focusing on three samplers that really need to get done. I so want to start a new sampler so we will see. Project bags are amazing. Happy Stitching

Ah, thank you, Jackie, for all the info on Bridget. . . .so interesting. Blessings! Have a peaceful night.

I found that Inspirations Magazine still has copies of Issue 122 available for $19.95. ( I'm sure + SH). They also offer the kit for that particular design for $120.00. Good luck to Archie.

I am so impressed w/ how far you have researched your Bridget Powers sampler! Am awaiting your continuing research...I was raised Catholic and remember of the priest adjusting a curtain back away from the chalice before serving mass. Please keep digging, i also have the love of genealogy research!! Thank you

Thank you, Jackie, for your time, your talent, your powerful words. I have tears in my eyes as I deeply digest the words,"This day will never come again." I will try to be more mindful of that through the challenges and joys each moment brings my way.❤🙏

Wow! I just found your floss tube and have gone back to watch your earlier ones. Thank you for sharing your love of color and your reasons why you make changes. It feels like a friend speaking to you. Your Lillies is very inspiring, I need to make more changes.

Jackie I love everything about your floss tube! You are such an inspiration on all levels - calmness, love of historical facts, creative art and the courage to act on your creativeness. You keep me coming back for more. Thank you ◡̈. Your sweet Archie will be in my prayers for a successful surgery and recovery and your Qwest to know Bridget Powers … may it go forward in gratitude for those s who have gone before us.

I So look forward to your video's and how you end them. Your calm and gentle presence is so refreshing, yet your enthusiasm for stitch is wonderful. It sounds like you are on the right Trac for the Bridgette sampler. How beautiful and interesting it is. Thank you for sharing all of the beautiful linen you have acquired. I am getting ready to jump into trying to stitch on it. I am starting with a 28 count Irish linen. Wish me luck! Until next time...Happy Stitching.

I love this extra so much. I will watch it every morning . You being here on flosstube is glorious

It was lovely to see Archie, wishing him the best for his treatment and recovery. I do so enjoy your research, it is like a history lesson, history was my favorite subject in school (well, most of the time, when it was all about the people and their stories , not when it came to learning all those dates) and I think that is why I am so drawn to stitching (reproduction) samplers. So thank you for making the effort and spending so much energy and time on it. And enjoyed those last few minutes, as always.

Good luck with finding more information on BP. The first time I saw it, I thought of a stage and theatre. I agree with you, there is wealth behind the design and stitching - very much fitting with a Reverend's daughter. The 'curtain' isn't your standard opening curtains which draw back to the side with the top ties holding it in place. I also think the curve of the altar top is not standard either but whether this is 'interpretation'.

Archie is gorgeous. How old is he? Wishing him well.

Hi, Love watching you and becoming just as fascinated on whom Bridget was. Have you spoken to any genealogy experts ?

Oh my! Mildred....I just love her - she's soo po-faced... I had an involuntarily 'snort' when I saw your fabulous bag (I am actually quite jealous :0) ). Love your closing quote, too, v thought-provoking. Good luck with your Power quest - i look forward to further updates....

Thank you, Jackie. I thoroughly enjoy your style of flosstube. ❤

Hi Jackie! I do stitch Mirabilias (well Nora Corbett, really), and I don’t really stitch samplers, but I really love your Flosstube! I love history and needlework in general, and I truly enjoyed the Bridget Power discussion today. When you were discussing the drapes covering the tabernacle I was nodding my head. I’m Catholic and my church had such drapes covering the tabernacle. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for further developments! Thank you so much for what you bring to the Flosstube community.

What magnification lamp do you use for your stitching?

The flowers at the top of Bridget’s sampler are so beautiful. I’m tempted…. Always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Thanks for mentioning Libby to access Inspirations magazine. It never occurred to me to look there. I had a subscription many years ago, so I’m happy to see it again. Congrats on your subscription milestone! Well deserved.

How old is Archie? He is so sweet!❤ I would help him on the bed too. We all need a little help. Love, Patty

Wonderful information about Bridget. The Cathedral and churches keep records of Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, marriage and death dates on the parishioners. That will help in your genealogy research.

Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us. And I hope that Archie has a good surgery and full recovery. Take care of him, and of yourself x

Your videos are inspiring and the strawberry kit looks fun but the best part is a part of you added to this gift in the form of a handmade by you acorn and leaf needle book. Amazing

Your videos never disappoint. Thank you for sharing your search for Brigette. I love it!😁❤️

Sending hugs to Archie. What a gorgeous guy. Thank you for the video Jackie!

Thank you for an appearance by the beloved Archie. He's precious. The words of calm are always appreciated. Best always to you and Archie.

I heard you mention Florilegium and had to dash back to #3 to see what you had to say. I love Florilegium! For a few years it was a destination for occasional inspiration breaks...time to return!

I love Florilegium! I haven't been there for a few years. One thing I've always loved are her collections of antique needlework. Also her creativity ...well, in everything! I remember her sitting and (knitting or crocheting) outside her former location, and wanting to absorb her creativity 😊 So glad you did a tour. Memories ❤ Also, love love the bison art behind you! ❤❤

Every time I see a notification for your next video it brings me joy. You are such a beautiful, peaceful member to our wonderful cross stitch community. Thank you 🌸💞🌸Happy and Blessed Stitching

I so enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking time to share your stitching.

I love how you always wear two different earrings. So cool. Poor Archie. I hope his surgery goes well. I so enjoyed the podcast and the beautiful samplers you are working on.

I love this journey for you. You brought me to church with your explanation of the symbolism behind the piece. What a blessing to have such a spiritual connection to something as mundane as stitching.

Have you reached out to the lady who wrote the book or the organization she was researching for. Also has anyone looked at geneology/ cemetery records for Ireland between the date of the sampler to 60 years later or so. Also has anyone checked with the catholic church in Ireland

Thanks once again for a lovely time spent together ❤ big hugs to sweet Archie!

I really love your videos. The content and format are wonderful (and calming). I'm particularly enjoying the Bridget Powers detective work. I started this sampler about a year ago. I live in Australia but my Dad was Irish. I've never visited before and hope to one day in the next few years with my brother. Our mum died five weeks ago and my brother whom is 59 today lived with her his entire life. She did everything for him until the day she passed so not only is he having to learn to live without her he is essentially learning to live. He has heart problems (pacemaker and pulmonary hypertension) but is keen to visit where our Dad is from. We sent some his ashes over there to Dublin and want to find where they are dispersed. By you delving into the origins of Bridget I feel I'm learning more about my Dad and they we lived. His mother (my grandmother) was born in 1893. You've touched on times that my great grandmother would have lived through. I haven't done any geneology and don't even now my great grandparents names (sometimes forget my grandfathers names as both my mum and Dad lost their father's before they were five years old - interestingly Dad's father died of TB, my dad's life was akin to the story Angela's ashes, not sure if you have read it and my dad was traumatised reading that book as it hit too close to home. In fact I don't think he finished it). Anyway, enough rambling, thank you again. It's so wonderful to see your video's pop up. I save them for a (semi) quiet time- three kids doesn't give me alot of quiet time lol, but I do so enjoy your work. Thank you so much. oh, and I always used to see this sampler when I started it as a theatre curtain also.

Red Barn sampler on flosstube has done a lot of digging into old samplers

I am looking forward to stitching the fancy ladies with you and Sewmesara. I have my charts now I need to pull the threads and decide on the fabric. Enjoyed the video today. Thank you!

Hi from North Georgia. I’m a dog lover. My breed is dachshunds. I lost my boy of 18 years last November. I think Archie and Cheeky would have been buds. Some experts believe dachshunds should be classified as terriers instead of hounds. I started The Four Seasons on June 5, the same day I saw Barbra Ana post notice of it for sale. So far I’ve finished spring and am working on summer. Those skirts are full coverage. I’ll start autumn on September 22. I’ll start winter on Dec. 22 to participate with your sal. You have such self control to wait until Dec. I will say that I don’t feel a need to change a thing about these girls. I usually change everything. I’m doing them in a horizontal row on the same fabric. I may vary their skin tones. I’ll decide that when I get there. Your forsensic search for Ms. Powers is interesting. You might be interested in a group of women I came across during the pandemic on RUclips. Six Know-It-Alls. They are textile historians who forensically try to examine old quilts to understand their origins. They met by zoom. There are nine videos. I need to go back and rewatch them.

Poor Archie! Cruciate ligament tears are no fun! My small dog has had surgeries on both. I even threw my mattress on the floor for 8 weeks during her recovery! Happy to report she can still run and jump up at 12 yrs old! We did buy her stairs for the bed and of course we have to sometimes lift her. I wish you and Archie the best. If you haven't already ask vet about LED light therapy after Archie's surgery. It really helps the healing process.

Sheer joy. Thank you, Jackie. You and Bridget have a beautiful one of a kind relationship. She wants you to find her, but nevertheless, you honor her. ❤❤

Thank you!
