    The style of the design is what attracts me. Colors can be changed and words changed or eliminated so the overall design is what attracts me. Good color choices in the original work are always a bonus. 2, 3 & 6 Thank you for your video.

    1it depends on what I'm in the mood for. 2 where I'm displaying it. 3 colors I love bright colors. 4 if a saying touches my heart. 5 if it's a gift for someone. Always enjoy your floss tube

    Eliza's French Birds turned out beautifully. Such a delicate design. It is usually the colors that draw me to a pattern initially, but when I pick out one to stitch it does seem to be seasonal. 2 3 4 5 6 Many thanks to your friend for sharing such wonderful patterns with your viewers!

    @reoniajacobson7421 Год назад +1

    A lot of times it is the colors that draw me in. But quite often I find when I watch floss tube that I am drawn in by what they are doing. And I also love when I here the back story of why a chart is created, that will draw me in. 1 & 3

    Annie you were the first flosstube I watched and have been hooked since the beginning. One of the great things about flosstube is getting the opportunity to see so many patterns that you could not possibly find in a one shop. If the pattern has a house it catches my eye and Christmas for seasonal stitching. 1 2 3 6

    @fayrelightjordan2470 Год назад +1

    I suppose what draws me in is the cleverness of the subject. Like the clever wording of a country song. Of perhaps the challenge, I enjoy the puzzle quality. How much it’s like working a puzzle, a crossword. 1, 2, 5

    If the design matches my decor in my home or if it it seems like it might be a good gift for someone I love I will definitely buy it. I try to have only 2-5 works in progress at the same time. I used to stitch only one at a time, but there is way too many designs that are so amazing now. Thank you for the opportunity for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Many blessings. Enjoy your daughter coming home.

    @donnaboyd5108 Год назад +1

    Eliza's French Birds is so lovely! That was a nice explanation of 1 strand of floss vs 2 strands. The blue and white antique floral bouquet is absolutely gorgeous! I just have to have a connection with the charts I choose. Some I choose after seeing them stitched by someone as I find it hard to tell what a stitch looks like from a dark photo. Some I choose for my own entertainment or for seasonal decor. I like a wide variety of styles and I try not to limit myself to stitching a certain type of genre. It's all for fun after all! 1, 3, 5, 6

  • @maureenlopez9266
    @maureenlopez9266 Год назад +1

    I love your Eliza's French Birds! The colors are gorgeous! When I choose something to stitch, it's usually based on these three things: subject matter, color, size. Love the blue theme on the bookshelves! Have a great week! 6

    I only got back into stitching after just putting it down for 25 years, so I’m really loving all the new styles and patterns available. I’m particularly drawn to patriotic and Christmas patterns as I make up for lost time. #1 would make a lovely housewarming gift for my daughter’s new home.

    Eliza's French Birds is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing it in your green frame. The Dogwood Art Festival sounds like fun. Hope you and Nancy had a fun birthday celebration. I'm a "celebrate the whole month of April" kind of birthday girl too! LOL 😂So fun to see your decorated shelves up close - so pretty! When selecting a new design, it varies for me... sometimes the size - I'm in the mood for smalls, sometimes the colors - drawn to a color palette, sometimes the verse and now with wonderful stitchy friends, it's the nudge to stitch something we like together - SALs...Love ❤❤❤This community! Take care and Happy Stitching! 🧵

    What I focus on in patterns is color, saying, size and season. In no particular order, it all depends what I'm feeling at the moment. Your shelves look great. I really enjoyed seeing all your stitching. 1, 2, 3, 6

  • @barbarahouser
    @barbarahouser Год назад +1

    So happy you had a great time of celebrating your Birthday & Anniversary..the markings of our life! I am drawn to Smalls, Ornaments, & Samplers at different times, so deciding which phase I'm in is first, then I look for "words of wisdom", Scriptures, Inspirational quotes, etc., then the color combination is the icing on the cake! I rarely make color changes other than just changing the hues to suit my fabric. My whimsical pieces are usually smalls & ornament sizes, and my focus pieces are larger, more intricate, Samplers and Traditional art style. 1, 3, 4 . Have a great week!

  • @gailholland2463

  • @erikadyer4543
    @erikadyer4543 Год назад +1

    What attracts me to a pattern is the distribution of the design, how it makes me feel, shading, color and fabric choices, old fashioned/primitive/historic motifs, a house with architectural detail, and a thistle or shamrock sampler. Lastly, if there is something unique about it that sets it apart, whether it is style or a unique motif. I also love learning about the sampler's history or how the design was inspired. 1,3,4,5 and 6.

    Hi Annie - I am sure you are very excited to have Gray coming home. As children grow, life in the home sure changes. Your finish of Eliza's French Birds is so pretty. I am looking forward to seeing it framed. Enjoyed everything else as well. Your question really made me think about my patterns. I would have to say I like nature themes and patterns with a touch of whimsy. Like Blue Flower patterns, Teresa Kogut's Egg Collector and Lindy Stitches new release Porch Possum. Fun question.

    @shellydodson6895 Год назад +1

  • @carissachristie8016
    @carissachristie8016 Год назад +1

    What draws me in originally is probably the color of a project and then the message seals the deal. I also think we get inspiration of what to stitch of course from flosstube because of the way people take designs and make them there own. That gets my juices flowing to either pick up the project they are working on or to change something else I has seen to make it mine. 1 5.

  • @barbaracarbone8101
    @barbaracarbone8101 Год назад +1

    When choosing a design, I am mostly a seasonal stitcher. I look at color, blue being my favorite. I look at the size of the design, which is mostly smaller. I have found that since I’ve started watching FlossTube videos, I am drawn to patterns that have been stitched that I might not have chosen just looking at the pattern cover. Sometimes a pattern just hits me and I don’t have a reason. I love the two Matilda patterns that Chrissy designed and pre ordered them. I’m glad you had such a nice birthday. Birthdays can be lots of fun. #’s 3,6

    Loving the shelf displays Annie, they look wonderful. I'm usually drawn to samplers and those with a lot of red in them. However, the soft pinks and greens in Eliza's birds really appeal to me after seeing your beautiful finish. x

    What draws me to a pattern is design and then color. Numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 6.
