I love your videos. I love finding out the history behind each sampler. And it is so wonderful of you to save so many of those great works of art. Thank you so much for all the work you put forth, for all of us to be able to enjoy these beauties.
What an amazing sampler! It is quite a work of art! Thank you for sharing this with us! Glad to hear you’re feeling better! You had spoiled us with your frequent posts! I’m enjoying your floss tube very much!
Glad to see you back Nicola and looking so well. What beautiful samplers and we are so lucky that you have shared them with us. Stay safe and happy sewing, Teresa 🧵💕
Thanks you....so amazing to see those two Sampler togther...I know they bring you great joy....so happy that you took the time to share them with us....so glad you arw feeling better....take care
Hi Nicola. I am so glad that you are feeling better. You are so inspiring and enjoyable to watch. Your new samplers are beautiful - the map Sampler is beyond beautiful. I am working on Jane Marshall and I was so happy to hear how much you had raised for the firefighters.
Glad you are feeling better, Nicola. That is a very interesting story about the map sampler. I enjoy hearing you tell the known details of the works and their histories. . The satin florals in today's map sampler are so gorgeous. I lived in Virginia Waters, Surrey in the early two thousands and loved it. When this Covid Crisis is over I plan to holiday in England and hopefully visit the Corrnish Coast I love anything to do with England, so different from the many places I have lived in the USA.. God bless you.
Nicola, thank you for sharing your beautiful sampler collection and stories! you are the first channel I check during this isolation!!! Looking forward to the new little gem release! Glad you are feeling better!
I am so glad you are feeling better! Thank you for continuing to post these wonderful videos and for publishing the “Little Gems” as PDFs so we can have immediate gratification during this time of stress. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
Thank you for this wonderful video documenting 2 samplers from the same embroiderer of the 19th century!! These two are so beautiful to see and I’m sure you would actually love to have them displayed in a spot that you pass by frequently so that you can see them often LOL
I ALWAYS enjoy your “ramblings”!!! Love these samplers from little Phillipa. What exquisite needlework, and the fact that they are together again is just wonderful! Good job, Nicola! ❤️
Yay❗️Another little gem. Love love love. PDF is good when you think in worldwide terms. The shipment fees some times are not affordable for everyone But maybe in the future you can have a line for pdf and another for booklets. By now, thank you so much Nicola. Stay safe, take care. Happy Stitching. Xoxo. Miriam from Brazil 🇧🇷 😘
Oh how I love hearing the stories of these samplers! I’m starting Anne Thomas (with that wonderful pigeon) next month. So grateful for the gift of these samplers! Thank you!
That map piece is gorgeous! The time it would have taken her to stitch, she must have loved it very much herself! I love hearing the stories of these girls and the places they are from! I have Harriet Salt, and am just trying to find some nice 56ct fabric to start her on! Glad you are feeling better my lovely! Zoe xxx
Very happy that you are feeling better, I know there were many people who were concerned about you. Thank you for sharing your lovely samplers with us, especially during this time they bring joy and beauty into our lives.
Nicola, I am so happy to see you are back and that your health continues to improve! For your consideration regarding pdfs, they are extremely helpful for those of us who live far away and have a hard time acquiring the booklets, which really are beautiful. I would love to stitch a sampler with flower motifs, these are wonderful! Thank you for your videos, they are making me feel part of a community, I found my tribe!
Nicola, so very glad to visit with you. Was a bit worried about you! The 2 Samplers are so very beautiful love the map one. Your new start is just stunning. I just finished Jane Marshall - was such a very sweet Sampler. I can’t wait to see the new “Little Gem” tomorrow! Stay safe!
I love the hearing the stories behind the samplers Nicola. It's so wonderful you go to bring Phillipa's samplers back together again. loved also hearing about the Liberty special fabric for Australia bicentennial. Very blessed to have such a great friend to gift you with those project bags. glad you are feeling much better now ~~ mel
Isn't it so wonderful for Phillipa's samplers to be together again. I am glad it is you who have them! Thank you so much for sharing the stories as well as the stitches. I love the history almost as much as the beautiful stitching. When you said Truro, I recognized that name from watching the Poldark series on television. I think that you must live in one of the most beautiful places perhaps in the world. ❤ with love, Shari Witt
So nice to see you again. I am happy to hear you are doing well. I have to admit, I was worried. Thank you for sharing such a sweet story of the two samplers and the history of her family. I pray for your continued health and well-being. Oh, and I am excited to see what the little gem will be tomorrow.
Very interesting. The colours are amazing, especially when you think they are nearly two hundred years old. Congratulations on the amazing amount of money raised from your sampler pattern. I did purchase it but have still not been able to find the download.Sorry to hear you were unwell but glad to hear you are better. Take care dear
So glad that you are feeling better. Please take good care of yourself. Thank you for another wonderful and informative video. (You kept me company as I was stitching on Frances Grassby.) How wonderful that you were able to reunite Phillipa's two samplers. Her map sampler is spectacular! Looking forward to seeing what your new gem offering will be.
So happy you are feeling better! I missed your smiling face! The map sampler is just incredible as well as having Phillipa’s samplers together again! Can’t wait to see the little gem that you finished! Love them and want to order them all! I’m a huge Poldark fan so love hearing references to the places in Cornwall!
Hello! It’s so delightful to have another FlossTube video from you. I was starting to worry a bit, but I am very glad to hear that you are feeling well. The reproduction sampler you are working on has such intricate details that make the piece entrancing. My eyes didn’t know know where to look next. And, oh my, those shoes! I look forward to watching your progress. It is amazing that someone so young had the skill set to create the very regal looking registry sampler and the map sampler with it’s gorgeous border. My thought is that she didn’t attend a needlework school, per se. It seems likely that she would have trained with a village artisan or the family, being of means, could have hired a live in tutor. If Cornwall had a census you might find more information about her education looking closer to home. The backstory is always so uniquely fascinating. Stay well and stitch on!
Always a pleasure. Thanks for visiting and sharing. Wow your wip is fantastic. Those colours amazing. It was a wonderful thing you did the fund raiser. Wow that sampler is gorgeous. I adore both samplers but i need that map one. What a marvelous find.,! Maybe you’ll find a lovely darning one one day. Thanks for sharing. Was a wonderful video. Like the Sisters both these need doing. Thank you
Breathtaking! I have never seen a Map Sampler. The border is so beautiful! Your new Project bag is so very special. Happy to hear you are feeling better. You were missed Nicola. 💐
Glad you are feeling better and you took the time for yourself. Yes to red shoes!!! Love the new samplers especially the map. Excited for the new Little Gem, I feel I just need to be on an automatic refill for the Gems. Lovely video and great to see you. Stay safe and be well.
So happy to know that you are feeling better. I love hearing about your samplers. Sometimes I can't believe that they were done by such young children. See you in the next video.
Lovely to see you Nicola, sorry to hear you have not been well, praying for your healing, in Jesus name and to continue to give you health and strength. 💓💓 that my sampler is simply stunning. What amazing work has gone into that.
How neat that is that you've been able to reconnect the two samplers together - it's fun to imagine that years ago they also hung on the same wall together. I am glad to hear you're feeling better - it's scary to be unwell anytime, let alone these days. Hope you stay healthy, and I look forward the next Little Gem!
Beautiful Samplers, yes it’s wonderful her work is together and in very exceptional care!! Look forward to tomorrow! Take care , glad your feeling better!
Enjoyed seeing the map sampler - have considered doing a more localized version of one as a tribute to some scottish ancestors... I have enjoyed finding old hand-painted maps from 1700s UK that depict towns and natural features where various ancestors lived. Thought they'd make a great repro quilt fabric, too. Have to remember to pitch that idea to someone... : ) Glad you're better - your videos were missed by me and i'll be lots of other people, too.
That's awesome that you have joined both samplers together what a privilege! Do you have a place in your home picked out to hang them ?! What history those are...
The map sampler is stunning! What a treasure to have. I was doing some research into my own ancestry. I discovered last night that I may have Welsh ancestry!
The family record sampler looks perhaps unfinished at the bottom? You mentioned seeing several others with that same design, do they have the same areas with no stitching at the bottom of the sampler? Both samplers are very beautiful, lovely that they are together again.
What an interesting story on the stitchers' life. I could have listened to the history lesson all day. How lovely it would be to see photos from the area she lived in. Thank you for taking the time to share such treasures with us. Stay well.

I love the frame you are using on your new start. Please tell me the name of it and where I can purchase it. Thank you dear.
Love map sampler⭐️
This is gorgeous thank you so much for showing us. Will the map sampler ever become a pattern, please?
Lovely samplers. We share a birthday. October 20. Just a few years between. Lol 😂
Glad to hear you're feeling better! You've been missed.
The map sampler is stunning! What a treasure to have. I was doing some research into my own ancestry. I discovered last night that I may have Welsh ancestry!

They are all the same that is the design
What an interesting story on the stitchers' life. I could have listened to the history lesson all day. How lovely it would be to see photos from the area she lived in. Thank you for taking the time to share such treasures with us. Stay well.
Are you going to chart the map sampler? It’s gorgeous!!
Can’t wait to see the Queen of the May soon!
I love map samplers, thank you for sharing. I'd love to know the book you were reading from? I have a Rebecca Scott book but not that one.
Can[t wait to see the little gems.
Interesting video. Stay well!
Good Morning 🌞
Everyone
Hope all is well
Stay safe

Hello Nicola - I’m watching this video much later than it was posted, so I don’t know if you released the sampler you showed at the beginning of the video? The girl with a little sass?
