It's hard to describe to friends just how happy stitchers are within themselves! Think about it!! A bit of fabric, lots of threads a great chart and the world slips away into the joy of stitching! The whole world should stitch and find their happy! Thanks for being one of those happy beings that loves to stitch!
Thank you for your Floss Tubes. I love having a stitchy friend from Canada! I remember my Grandparents talking about living in Bamph for about a year probably in the 1920's. They had gone to the Calgary Stampede.
I am still figuring out the blends for TW. I’ve made special little floss drops for them all but it’s been tricky with the small sections at a time. It’s the partial stitches getting me bogged up
I did it Samatha! I bought The Lily Maiden off the secondary market and can hardly wait till it gets delivered to me! I plan to use tips from both you and Arica on kitting up nad working a Teresa Wentzler. I don’t have any Stitchy friends and am just so excited, I’d thought I’d share this with you! Until your next Flosstube….
You having had a black cat named Shadow made my heart smile. We just adopted two black kittens last month. One of them loves to go behind the cotton curtain in the sunshine. Our son calls him Shadow when he does this, and it happened right before I started this video 😊 Love watching your videos Samantha!!
Hi Jennifer !! Thank you so much for watching. I must say with every video … I never know what someone will connect with while viewing. I love sharing then reading the comments. Thank you for always taking the time to leave a comment as I enjoyed reading yours !!
Looking forward t the year of the dragon sal. I already have a dragon started that has a companion of a wizard. Thank you for showing your wonderful stitching😃
Loved watching your flosstube. Always a joy to see your beautiful projects. 🤗 I would like to join you with the #yearofthedragonsal on the 10th of February. I have this beautiful pattern by Owl Forest Embroidery called Star Dragon. I already have the floss and fabric, so ready to go and join you! 🥳 Kind regards, Guylaine
I'm a flossaway and loran girl, too! floss storage is in the flossaway bags and each project is kitted into loran (or DIY facsimile) cards. It's so fun watching your excitement. Will enjoy the follow on videos.
Wow! When I first started cross-stitching in ~1988, LoRan cards was how we all kept our floss because we were monogamous stitchers and just carried all our floss with our project. What a nice blast from the past!
Me too! I return to cross stitch every 5 yrs or so and I still use the LoRan cards I started with in the 80s! 😂 One project at a time until finished! 😂
I finally managed to get a copy of butterfly fairy in December after looking for her for a long time. I'm so happy to see that you have her too and it will be so fun to see you stitch her! ♥
Samantha So glad you like your Lowry stand. I just got one too but have not used it yet.i might need the long arm because of my sofa arm might be to wide. Could you show us your magnification lamp and your stitching area? Your work is so beautiful , you can tell how much you lo❤e to stitch the Nora’s and mirabilis by the sound of your ❤voice.
I am so looking forward to seeing your progress on The Dragon, Samantha! TW patterns are amazing. Love your Nora Corbett pieces and so enjoy seeing them come alive as you stitch them! Thanks as always for the excitement and passion you share for this glorious hobby of ours! Happy stitching!
Ha Dear Samantha ! I just want to first thank you for a MARVELOUS 2023.... and now to look forward to 2024 with your visits.... as you say, " SO GOOD " !!! You are just pure delight. I wish you a Great year ahead. Such a gifted Stitcher , Gorgeous Pieces , just Relish each podcast. All the very best, marcia
Mirabilia Butterfly Fairy is one of my must-stitch patterns also, and Poppy is a very sentimental pattern for me and on my short list to stitch as well. I love all your beautiful projects and watching you bring them to life! ☺️💕
Great flosstube, Samantha. I just popped in to say the the beautiful ornament from your friend Karen could also do double duty as a Valentine's Day ornament (depending on the backing fabric). Red, white, hearts...just sayin'. ❤
Hi Samantha, I watch you regularly and really admire your lovely work. Please tell me something… you are such a prolific stitcher I wonder what you do with all your completed projects. Wow, I can’t imagine that you display them all 😊. Please tell me what you do with all your lovely work. Thanks so much 😊
Hello Diane, Thank you for being here!! I do have a large number of completed projects that are in need of framing. They are sadly waiting in a drawer. If I could I would frame and display them all in my new stitchy space. How inspiring it would be to stitch in a space with your work all around you!
Good Saturday Morning Samantha. Here in my neck of the woods it is softly snowing and looks oh so pretty. Great day to stitch. and watch flosstube of course. I hope to join your dragon sal. I have one but not sure whom it is by or where it is at the moment. It isnot a Teresa Wentzler. I think. So sad to hear about 'Poppy' being out of print. I can't stitch fast enough...lol... Anyway, thanks for the show and tell and see you next time.
Great video, Samantha! Your talk about wanting to stitch a nutcracker got me thinking…I would love to find a Miramilia-esque Nutcracker pattern! It would be so gorgeous with beads and sparkly floss. The hunt is on.
I just realized that one of my current WIPs has a dragon hidden in the sky! So… I’m counting that and I’m totally joining sal on Feb 10 🎉 excited to put some stitches into it!
I knew I shouldn’t have watched your update, Samantha!!! I have a copy of “The Storyteller” and it is not an easy pattern to come by. I also have wanted to start one of Theresa’s dragons for a long, long time. (Those are the reasons to participate ) Now the other side of the puzzle, when I start a blended threads pattern I just have to have it kitted easy for me ( as you know that takes a lot of time) and in February I am hosting Full Coverage February on IG with an acrostic challenge and questions for full coverage stitchers with prizes. But will that stop me? No! 😉😁 I probably will only get a handful of stitches done on February 10th, but it is too serendipitous to pass up! Thank you for suggesting the SAL, you now have another willing participant 😂
Loved your update, thank you for sharing! Excited for your dragon SAL, will be joining y’all with my Antique Celtic Sampler WIP! 🐲 I’m so happy my card made it to you, hugs friend- “see” you soon!!! 🥰
Loving some of your plans for the pixies and fairies. That new Luca S stitch looks great. Have you seen Shannon Christine's Nutcracker that she produced at the end of last year? She's said that she wants to produce a series of them
So fun to see your progress and plans. That dragon piece is amazing! I did a year of the rabbit piece for my sister last year, so I think she needs a year of the dragon something this year, I just haven't decided what yet. It was great to catch up with you!
Such a lovey video Samantha, I always enjoy watching what you are up to. I’m not a dragon fan but wish you lots of success on the SAL. Hugs and blessings on your coming week!
So great to see you pop up today! And I am excited you are going to start the Mirabilia Fairy! You will love stitching her and I knew you would. 😊 Now - you have enabled me to to restart my Teresa Wentzler's English Cottage Sampler. I bought it years ago so, I am so excited. The directions call for 25 ct stitching over 2 so I think I will do that. Last time I started it I used a 16 ct and I didn't like it. Also, the Dragon Sal sounds like fun so I will join you and start my HAED Dragon Races. Take care and hope to see you again soon!
Yes 🙌 yes 🙌 Yes !! Thank you so much 😊 TW’s are challenging and that’s why I’m inspired to them. I agree you need to love the fabric!! A full coverage dragon 🐉 ooohhh yeah!!! 🤩fun.
❤❤❤ thank you for the amazing video like always ! You are so inspiring! 😊I am so happy to call you my friend 🫶🏽because even in the distance I can feel you beautiful soul 🌻🌻your dragons look cool I am excited to see your progress 😊Have a wonderful weekend and happy stitching 🧵
Yay! Samantha!!!🎉 I'm so excited to get started on February 10th for the Year of the Dragon SAL! 🐉🪡 Great seeing you today ! Also, I need to make progress on Treasure Island!
Very fun! I’ll be starting my focus-for-a-finish time on Dragon Ride in February, so I’ll be working on a TW dragon, too. 😊 I’m sure you’ll love working on yours! Your fairy is turning out really nicely also. 🧚🏻♀️
Samantha, what Just Cross Stitch magazines were those other charts in? I have all the issues through 2015 on DVD. At Stitch-Con last summer I got to meet the editor-in-chief of the magazine and asked about any updated DVDs, and she let me know that if you are a subscriber you have access to all three issues digitally!! I literally gasped out loud at the Poinsettia angel and now I need to find her!! Let me know when you are ready to start Mitten Men! I recently freed my Lowery stand from its box and am so excited to start using it!! As always, beautiful work, and stay warm!!!
That was such a nice surprise 😊 I didn't expect a new video and I was very happy when I saw it. I really enjoyed watching while stitching last night 🥰🍷 I can't wait to see you stitching the Bewitching Pixies. I have almost, all of them, in my list. I don't remember, have you stitched any of the Bewitching Pixies or you just picked those three to stitch from this collection? Looking very much forward to your new video 😊🧵🪡
Glad you enjoyed it! I have selected 6 bewitching pixies from the older charts. I think there are a total of 12 now. I have stitched 3 so far (EMI, Luna and Cleo) I shall show them together when I start Gigi this year. Thank you so much for watching ♥️
I am so pleased that you are happy with the Christmas ornament….thank you for the lovely words about my workmanship. I believe I have a dragon pattern here and would love to stitch along with you and your Sal.
Hello, I'm a new subscriber and I really like the projects you selected. I saw your video with your friend Sarah and fell in love with the Red Cardinals pattern she stitched. I'm having a hard time finding the pattern that I don't have to download from Etsy. Do you know of a cross stitch company in the U.S. that may carry the pattern? Many thanks. Pittsburgh, USA
What brand is that Platinum Linen you showed? (I want to give linen a try eventually, and knowing of a color that works so well for many different things seems like a good place to start!)
Hi Samantha - apparently I am the first commenter. I don't think that has ever happened before! So lovely that people have been able to send you some of their stash if they know they won't work on it. I AM SIGNED UP FOR STITCH NORTH IN OCTOBER!!! I did not make it to our January Guild meeting to tell you, but it was my New Year's gift to myself. I will be talking to you about that some more. Thanks for this edition.
Oh wow! 🤩 this is exciting!!! I’m over the moon excited about attending my first retreat. I look forward to seeing you in a few short weeks to chat all about it! Thank you for watching -Samantha 🦋

OMG! Teresa Wentzler is the queen of the blended needles. She will drive you nuts!!!!
YES! I do know "in the zone of crafting" - it's just the best! Total swoon over the lovely parcel from Luca S! I loved seeing what you received!
Really enjoyable watching while I stitch Cynthia's Teapot. Thank you for your wonderful enthusiasm.
Thanks for watching!

Your enthusiasm had me adding a few things to my wish list! 😁 Thanks for sharing your stitching again.
Binge watching your first two episodes as I’ve been on a cruise with no streaming! All your lovely projects get me so motivated!
