What a wonderful way to start my day with your first flosstube step on your journey! You are a natural and I loved hearing your story. I am a retired teacher who started cross stitching over 58 years ago, so I love hearing your story! Needless to say, cross stitching has evolved and blossomed into a beautiful art! It’s exciting to enjoy and the community aspect is such a joy! I’m excited for you…and excited for us to travel with you!
@@susanbooth551 awwww. You are so sweet. Thank you for leaving a comment and sharing with me. 58 years!!! Wow. I can only imagine the projects you’ve stitched over the years. So fun! Wonderful to meet you and thank you for following along.
Hi Rachel, Welcome to floss tube from East Texas! I am captivated by your energy, great smile, beautiful projects and perfect stitching! I cannot wait until your next video. Congratulations on your marriage and your floss tube channel! Kristi
Nice first FlossTube! I love watching people who not only stitch, but FFO their projects... Love seeing all the Primrose! I'm also an in-season stitcher.
Loved your first flosstube! Congratulations on your marriage and recent move. Thank you for explaining your finishings. I’m crafty, but love to follow along with tutorials. I learn new things when following others. Looking forward to your next video!
Congrats, Rachel, on your new Flosstube, wedding, and new home! Lots of changes for you! I absolutely loved your video, and I am looking forward to many more. Beautiful finishes and stitches! ❤
Wonderful first video! Congratulations on your marriage! Look forward to more and thanks for sharing your xs with us all. You're going to have a big following, I just know it!
Hi Rachel, very good first flosstube! Welcome to floss tube. I’m new as well. This community is amazing❤🎉 Congratulations on your new marriage, wishing you the best!
Really enjoyed your first Flosstube! I love stitching Primrose Cottage, too. I hope you’re getting settled in your new home. It must be amazing to have an LNS so close. 🪡 🧵 🍁
Clearly, you are a teacher. You talk to that camera and are able to engage with all of us. Great job! I’m stitching Thanksgiving Quaker by Bent Creek, but am ready to start some Christmas stitching. I love those new Primrose Cottage Christmas pieces!
Congratulations on getting married and starting your Flosstube channel. I really liked everything you showed and look forward to seeing more of your projects. I wish I had an LNS since Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and Joanns have such a limited supply of cross stitch items.
Congratulations, Rachel, on your marriage, move, and your first flosstube. I loved your video, and I am looking forward to your next one. I love your choice of charts. It is very similar to my taste. I am a seasonal stitcher, too.
@pacificcoaststitcher That is a hard question because I like all the seasons. I seem to stitch more Fall/Halloween than anything else. Happy stitching!
Rachel, I enjoyed your first Flosstube. You are a natural. Must be the teacher in you. 😊 I’m a retired teacher and I loved teaching the young ones. Congrats on your marriage and new home! You certainly have started to decorate it lovely.

@@cheryldowd6916 thank you so much for the framing tips - I need them :) I was disappointed with how much space there was at the top, but we live and learn, right?! So nice to meet you! Thank you for leaving a comment.
You did a fabulous job on floss tube #1 and I enjoyed seeing all your finished projects and WIPs. Congratulations on your marriage and move to a new home! I’ve been stitching the Wee Santa 2024 from Heart in Hand and also those cute mini monthly pillows from Primrose Cottage, doing November’s pillow currently with those cute 🦃 s! Those mini pillow patterns travel with me to doctor offices since they are small and easily fit in my bag of supplies! Looking forward to following your floss tube Rachel and happy stitching!😊
My daughter found you and told me about ya! I loved the first video, I will be watching the other 2 today as well…….great job! Nice and organized! I’m excited that you are doing flosstube once an month and you are an in season stitcher……I love Halloween but I’m excited to see your Christmas as well. Well toot now I see you just have 1 flosstube, I got excited and seen you had 3 things posted 🤣
@@ambersisco4299 hi there! Thank you for this sweet message. How long have you been stitching for? Oh yes, my other 2 videos were just shorts to update you all that 3 days after making plans, I changed them LOL. Big surprise. I think us cross stitchers get the urge to stitch ALL the things lol there’s never enough time! I’m getting a lot of stitching in this week so far (and it’s only Tuesday) so maybe I will have a second flosstube sooner than the end of the month :) thank you for watching! Happy Stitching
I enjoyed your first Flosstube and congratulate you, first on your marriage, and second on taking on this new chapter in your stitching life! How exciting! It seems to me we think alike when it comes to our choices of designers. There are so many excellent, talented ones! I tend to gravitate toward the Primrose Cottage, Brenda Gervaise, Teresa Kogut, Shepherd’s Bush, etc. styles of designs. Bent Creek is another favorite of mine, and I’m currently on the last few stitches of “Nativity Row.” I consider myself to be a slow stitcher, so I give myself a head start on the next season. As for suggestions on your Flosstube, I wouldn’t change a thing! It would be nice if your mom popped in as a guest one of these days. That would be fun! Just subscribed! See you next time, and in the meantime, happy stitching!! ❤
Congratulations on your marriage and welcome to Flosstube! I also love just about everything Primrose Cottage puts out. ❤ I’m currently stitching for the Jingle Ball and a sampler for my daughter who is getting married in June. Look forward to seeing you in November!
I have worked on autumn pieces this fall - bought a hunch of Mill Hill button & beads autumn series kits. I stitched them on fabric in place of the perforated paper.
So nice to meet you! Welcome to flosstube, you were so professional! Congrats on being married happily ever after❤❤ Im currently working on decorating hand towels for my YMCA instructors for Christmas. I purchased red towels and am stitching their names on.
Great 1st flosstube. I am working on the Nov. mini from Primrose. I'm a slow sticher so 1 project at a time for me. But have a few kitted to be ready. Congrats on you marriage.
Great job on your first flosstube and congratulations on your marriage. My daughter got me into cross stitching. I really enjoy spending time stitching with her. I have a few wips going. Looking forward to watching more from yo in the future
Congrats on the wedding and welcome to Flosstube!! My hubby and I met on the internet too! I just started stitching early this year and just started my first HAED! I’m so excited! Love the FFOs!
@pacificcoaststitcher I just restarted it. I started out 2 over 1, full stitch on 25ct Lugana but it was too tight, I I just restarted it last night doing 2 over 1, 1/2 stitch. It’s going to work much better. It’s going to take years so of course I will do smaller ones as well. 😱😂
@@lamp0070 you’re welcome. I LOVED stitching The Witch Next Door! So cute with the clothes line and the potions in the window. Hope you are enjoying it as much as I did!
LOVED THIS FLOSS TUBE! I am very excited to watch your future episodes, we have very similar tastes, every project you pulled out was one I have either stitched or want to stitch!! I love how you stitched the Salem Stitchery without the jack o lantern face, that was the only thing holding me back from stitching that. I am currently working on Halloween Cauldron from Primrose and getting ready to finish Santa of the Forest (the biggest project I have ever stitched)!!! I am waiting for the mail to deliver the Primrose Christmas patterns and also the Stitching with the Housewives "Believe in the Magic". Can't wait until your next floss tube! Happy Stitching!
@@nancywilson2438 so nice to meet you. How fun that we share stitchy styles!! I had hoped to get to Halloween Cauldron in this year but didn’t get to it. Definitely on the list for next year. I love the hoop finish the primrose girls did on that one…I haven’t seen Santa of the Forest - I need to look it up. Im also waiting for a package from Primrose. Once I get that, I’ll start organizing my Christmas/winter stitching…thank you for watching & leaving a comment. So much more to come! :)
Congrats on your 1st flosstube! I love Stitchers Paradise! I could shop there all day. Can’t wait to go to Primrose when they open. Your projects look great. I’m also a seasonal stitcher. 🧵🪡
Your flosstube popped up on my RUclips feed as a new flosstuber so I love watching new ones! You are a natural Rachel. If I could only be as organized as you are making these flosstubes. I’ll enjoy following. You have a great system with stitching. My flosstubes are scattered and all over the place lol. I definitely don’t have the finishes either! Love the process though. Happy stitching.
Welcome Rachel! Fantastic flosstube, I’m looking forward to more of your videos. Congratulations on your marriage, wishing many wonderful years for you two.
Awesome job Rachel 🙂. Your finishes are beautiful. I am all in on Christmas patterns. Working on Stacy Nash It’s a wonderful life and several ornaments from Stitching with the Housewives. Great format on your channel
Thank you so much for the comment @catherinemurrieta1327 ! Will you do your own finishing on the Housewives ornaments? I stitched a few, but never FFO'D! lol
Great floss tube. Congratulations on your marriage love seeing all your stitching, especially since you stitch. A lot of the same stuff I do great finishes also. I’m working on my waxing moon design Christmas house Trio, hoping that I get it done in time to display it
Hi Rachel! Wow, you are a natural in front of the camera! Congrats on your first flosstube, it was great! Loved what you have stitched and are planning to stitch! Congrats on your marriage and move. Lucky you to have a LNS, I can only imagine the trouble I could get into if I had one close to me😂. I am still stitching Halloween and fall. Not quite in the Christmas stitchy mood yet. Looking forward to your next flosstube! Thanks for your time and sharing your beautiful pieces.❤
@@kogrady31 hi! Thank you for your comment! I’m scared for the trouble I’m going to get into having an LNS close to me 😆😆. Glad I’m not the only one still stitching Fall! However, seeing everyone’s Christmas stitching is starting to get me in the mood for it.
I enjoyed seeing all of your projects. Great job. Doesn't look like a 'first' video. I'm trying to get some Christmas ornaments done to decorate my small tree. First time I'm doing that this year. I'll be starting my own flosstube in a couple of weeks so I'm trying to get organized. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Good luck.
Congratulations on your marriage, move and hiatus from teaching. Welcome to the Flosstube community. Love your stitching. I, too, stitch around the holidays and am a stitch in hand girl. I like the process too. Look forward to more of your videos.
Great first flosstube. Congratulations! My son lives about 20 minutes from Stitchers Paradise - so I usually stop in when I’m in Vegas visiting my son. Being such a big fan of Primrose Cottage AND living in Vegas, I bet you’re anxious for their brick and mortar to open. It’s about a two hour drive from Vegas, but OH SO BEAUTIFUL! I look forward to watching your stitching journey.
@@ambs1184 when did you take my spin class? That’s so awesome. I love that my two worlds are colliding with you! Spin & stitch = my favs!! What got you back into stitching? Do you live in Sac?
Yes I am in Sac. I took a few with you and was in your last one at the studio. I always came with my husband. My brother unexpectedly passed away in 2023 and found that it was a great way to keep the mind calm with all that was going on in my life.
@@ambs1184 awwww. So sorry for your loss. TR got me through a lot of life over the 10 years I was there - I’ve had all the emotions within those four walls. It’s a healing space amongst so many other things. Movement is medicine! I miss my TR community so much, which is one of the reasons I started this flosstube. Hoping to connect with others who love stitching as much as I do. Wonderful to cross paths with you again! Happy Stitching!
Great job Rachel! Hello from Michigan. Like everyone else I like to add a few touches of stitching with my home decor. Just began Turkey Time by Erica Michael’s. I’ve been stitching since I was a young girl & am so delighted to see so many young women stitching. Happy Day & Congrats! 🎉
@@DeborahDeLisle hi! Wonderful to meet you. How wonderful to be stitching throughout your life. I bet you have stitched so many things!! Thank you so much for watching & leaving a comment. Happy Stitching to you!
Thank you. Good job. How lucky you are to be near an LNS. I live in the Los Angeles area so my nearest is your LNS or the Attic in Mesa Arizona. I’m working on Caroline’s Sewing Bag. I’m using 14 count fiddler cloth. I’m loving it. I’ll catch you again at the end of the month. 🦃🍁🪡🧵
Great flosstube. I personally like the way the witch house was framed. It makes the house look grounded and the sky above looks great. I hope that makes sense ❤
Rachel, what a GREAT GREAT 1st Flosstube, my goodness I truly enjoyed spending time with you!!!!! I finished my Halloween stitching and now I’m stitching Christmas!!!!! 💚
Great first flosstube! New subscriber here! Can’t wait to follow along in your stitchy journey! 💕💕💕 I love that met on the internet piece-my husband and I also met on the internet 😅
I’ve been trying to catch up on those cute little Bitty Bowls. I too stitch in hand and in season! Ha ha I should start 6 months in advance! Congratulations 🥰
Thank you @juliew3740 - I really enjoyed stitching apothecary. I FFO'd it this year and was able to enjoy it on display. I like stitching projects with just one color - they seem to go much faster. Have you done any mono-chromatic projects?
I actually did that one. I also love a monochromatic piece. I also did an Owl Forest Embroidery pattern a couple years ago and I have a Long Dog Sampler waiting in the wings. I just need to complete a couple of gift pieces and then I can get that one started. It’s Love at First Sight by LDS. I have had my heart set on it ever since first seeing it 😁
You are a Flosstube Pro!! As many others have said, we have similar taste, I’m currently stitching Welcome to the North Pole from Primrose Cottage as I was FINALLY able to get the frame that their Dad made. I also just purchased the exact same DDG project bag! I also purchased the Apothecary frame as well and seeing yours makes me want to stitch it now🤣 I have countless FO’s and my goal for 2925 is to fully finish them all and, going forward, to finish them as I complete them and stop procrastinating! Keep doing what you are doing, you’ve got this! 💖✨
Loved your video!! Congratulations on getting married and the new house. Lots of fun ahead for you. All of your Halloween stitches were 😍😍😍 I love the primrose minis pattern book that you shared and have already started the hunt for it. I’m working on a Halloween SAL and of course am wayyy behind but just enjoying the process. I can’t wait to see your future videos and projects.
Hi, Rachel! Thank you for a very enjoyable FlossTube! I loved all your Halloween projects, and their coordinating bags, and you did a great job of keeping the flow going smoothly. I have subscribed, and I look forward to following along on your stitching journey! Oh, for November, I am alternating between three WIPs: Turkey Day by Cottage Garden Samplings, a chart I found on Etsy called Magic Of Autumn by Heartsong Stitchery & Dyeworks, and an older chart by a local designer, Rose Mary LeBlanc, called The French Market…Vendor Stalls. She specializes in New Orleans scenes, and I live in Louisiana. ☺️ Happy stitching until next time! Meline
@@mm-qm9zh nice to meet you Meline! Thank you for watching. So grateful for your follow. Thank you for sharing your WIPs - I haven’t heard of those patterns so I’ll look them up. I like seeing what others are stitching! 🧵 🪡
Great 1st flosstube. I almost fell out of my chair when you said your LNS is Stitcher’s Paradise and that you just moved here a couple of weeks ago. I also just moved to Las Vegas, (Summerlin) a couple of weeks ago. I also love Stitcher’s Paradise. I would love to get together and stitch, maybe a Starbucks or Panera to start and perhaps we can find a public library with a community room and we can invite other stitchers!
Subscribed ✅ & followed on instagram 🥰 I thoroughly enjoyed your entire first video. I love your stitchy style. Can not wait to see more!! Happy stitching 💖
You are a natural. Keep stitching and sharing. Love all that you are stitching. And I think you are very creative. How fun to have your mom stitch with you. Such a blessing. Thank you! @cbellsew
Welcome, Rachel, to the FlossTube community. Wonderful debut video. Your stitching is beautiful. Best wishes on your recent wedding!! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to many more!
@@SarahsStitchySpot I’m having a fan girl moment over here, Sarah!!!! I LOVE your videos and your positive energy. Thank you for all you share with our community. I love your husband Stan’s song at the beginning of your videos. I appreciate you watching my first video and leaving a comment. We truly have a wonderful stitching community. Thank you for the wishes on my wedding. Look forward to many more of your videos too!
Rachel!! Loved your first video! You’re pro! Love your style and look forward to keeping up with your projects! I’ve got a few of those little Monthly Minks under my belt too. They are so fun. As for this month’s stitching, I went from Halloween strait to Christmas! It’s my fave!!
@@thequiltjunkieTX hi! So nice to meet you. So glad you enjoyed my floastube!! Have you FFO’d any of the monthly minis? Do you have a favorite Christmas pattern?! Thank you for watching!!
@@pacificcoaststitcher Nice to meet you too! I have not FFO'd any of my Mini's bc I am the type to want them finished similar to each other so they can be interchangeable throughout the season. Honestly, I'm on the fence between pillows or a magnetic swap-aloo stitchuation. LOL I don't have a favorite Christmas pattern but I am working ferociously on Festive Forest by Blue Flower for the Jingle Ball! It's a whoooooole lotta stitching in a month! :D
Great Flosstube. Love your variety of stitching. You may want to check out the Silver State Stitch Shop in Boulder City. Jessica has been open for 6 months and offers both cross stitch and quilting. She has quite a few things going on each week, so be sure to check out the classes. If I lived closer, I'd be there all the time.
@@ruthkosturik7176 oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much for this recommendation. I will be making a trip to Silver State as soon as I’m back in Vegas next week! I’m very excited to have TWO LNS’s and plan to spend lots of stitchy time at both. Thanks for watching & much more to come soon!
Well done! Great first video. I have already stitched the sampler on the front of Teresa Kogut's book Hello Halloween. It was a blast to stitch. I'm currently stitching Sir Thomas by Glendon Place.
I'm glad I found your video. I just got back into cross stitching this year. It's nice to find some flosstubers that are just starting so I don't feel like I'm out of the loop. Love all your stitches so far. I definitely gravitate towards Halloween as well. I'm currently starting a Halloween Bucket monthly club stitch by Shannon Christine Designs and possibly her Falling Snow pattern. I just finished Midnight Owl from Mill Hill.
Fantastic first Flosstube! I just finished A Tisket A Tasket by Rosewood Manor... my favorite fabric is 28ct Lugana, I stitch 1 over 1, so Tishet was half the size its supposed to be! I'm going to be in Vegas the 14th... I looked to see where Stitchers Paradise is compared to our hotel this morning & I'm hoping to Uber over!!! I look forward to seeing your next Flosstube!!!
Welcome! Congratulations on getting married. 🥂🍾 WOW, lots of finishes that are fantastic! My current wip’s are very old Dimensions kits from the 80’s. Anything of Asian/oriental influence I want to stitch, no words for me. I’m usually not a sampler stitcher either, but a lot of them are gorgeous. I can appreciate and admire them. Happy Stitching and maybe one day the hubby might become a stitcher and be in front of the camera too! 😉😁
Yay! Congratulations on your first video Rachel! 🎉 I loved seeing your finishes. So so cute! Right now I’m working on Jack’s Bash and will probably keep stitching on it until the weekend. 🧡
@@Stitching_In_Texas yay! So excited that we are stitching on the same patterns. I LOVE all things Primrose. They are about two hours from me so I will be visiting their store when it opens. What’s your favorite primrose pattern?
Brill first flosstube. Congratulations on your marriage but I need to ask you met him on the internet 30years ago gurrrrlll you waited for that ring! ❤
Welcome to Flosstube! Halloween is my favorite season to stitch as well-so fun to see your finishes! (I showed some of my Halloween FFO’s in my first Flosstube and a Lizzie Kate banner in my latest if you’re interested in seeing them!) Subscribed and look forward to following along with you in your journey!
Welcome to flosstube! Your displays behind you are so cute! my current wips are two SALs that started this week, one from LIvingOnTheRainbow which is a Mrs Clause cookbook, and then the SecretGrove SAL from Needlelot designs. Ive also got some Halloween wips Ill probably keep fiddling with throughout November.

I have worked on autumn pieces this fall - bought a hunch of Mill Hill button & beads autumn series kits. I stitched them on fabric in place of the perforated paper.
Great video!
So nice to meet you! Welcome to flosstube, you were so professional! Congrats on being married happily ever after❤❤
Im currently working on decorating hand towels for my YMCA instructors for Christmas. I purchased red towels and am stitching their names on.
@@rebeccajourney3183 hey!!! Nice to meet you too. What a great gift idea! How many towels are you stitching? Thank you for watching!
Great 1st flosstube. I am working on the Nov. mini from Primrose. I'm a slow sticher so 1 project at a time for me. But have a few kitted to be ready. Congrats on you marriage.
Great job on your first flosstube and congratulations on your marriage. My daughter got me into cross stitching. I really enjoy spending time stitching with her. I have a few wips going. Looking forward to watching more from yo in the future
@@rebeccaedwards2763 isn’t the best stitching together?! I love that my mom & I share stitching. We enable each other 🤣
Congrats on the wedding and welcome to Flosstube!! My hubby and I met on the internet too!
I just started stitching early this year and just started my first HAED! I’m so excited!
Love the FFOs!
@Cali_Jeni a HAED?!? VERY IMPRESSIVE! They intimidate me - soooo much stitching and soooo big LOL. Are you enjoying it so far?
@pacificcoaststitcher I just restarted it. I started out 2 over 1, full stitch on 25ct Lugana but it was too tight, I I just restarted it last night doing 2 over 1, 1/2 stitch. It’s going to work much better. It’s going to take years so of course I will do smaller ones as well. 😱😂
Thanks for showing the Witch Next Door. I’m currently stitching it.
@@lamp0070 you’re welcome. I LOVED stitching The Witch Next Door! So cute with the clothes line and the potions in the window. Hope you are enjoying it as much as I did!
LOVED THIS FLOSS TUBE! I am very excited to watch your future episodes, we have very similar tastes, every project you pulled out was one I have either stitched or want to stitch!! I love how you stitched the Salem Stitchery without the jack o lantern face, that was the only thing holding me back from stitching that. I am currently working on Halloween Cauldron from Primrose and getting ready to finish Santa of the Forest (the biggest project I have ever stitched)!!! I am waiting for the mail to deliver the Primrose Christmas patterns and also the Stitching with the Housewives "Believe in the Magic". Can't wait until your next floss tube! Happy Stitching!
@@nancywilson2438 so nice to meet you. How fun that we share stitchy styles!! I had hoped to get to Halloween Cauldron in this year but didn’t get to it. Definitely on the list for next year. I love the hoop finish the primrose girls did on that one…I haven’t seen Santa of the Forest - I need to look it up. Im also waiting for a package from
Primrose. Once I get that, I’ll start organizing my Christmas/winter stitching…thank you for watching & leaving a comment. So much more to come! :)
Congrats on your 1st flosstube! I love Stitchers Paradise! I could shop there all day. Can’t wait to go to Primrose when they open. Your projects look great. I’m also a seasonal stitcher. 🧵🪡
Loved your video!!!
Your flosstube popped up on my RUclips feed as a new flosstuber so I love watching new ones! You are a natural Rachel. If I could only be as organized as you are making these flosstubes. I’ll enjoy following. You have a great system with stitching. My flosstubes are scattered and all over the place lol. I definitely don’t have the finishes either! Love the process though. Happy stitching.
Welcome Rachel! Fantastic flosstube, I’m looking forward to more of your videos. Congratulations on your marriage, wishing many wonderful years for you two.
Awesome job Rachel 🙂. Your finishes are beautiful. I am all in on Christmas patterns. Working on Stacy Nash It’s a wonderful life and several ornaments from Stitching with the Housewives. Great format on your channel
Thank you so much for the comment @catherinemurrieta1327 ! Will you do your own finishing on the Housewives ornaments? I stitched a few, but never FFO'D! lol
Great floss tube. Congratulations on your marriage love seeing all your stitching, especially since you stitch. A lot of the same stuff I do great finishes also.
I’m working on my waxing moon design Christmas house Trio, hoping that I get it done in time to display it
@@vickifenney3455 thank you!! I haven’t stitched anything by Waxing Moon yet, but hope to! Good luck on Christmas House Trio!! You’ve got this!
Hi Rachel! Wow, you are a natural in front of the camera! Congrats on your first flosstube, it was great! Loved what you have stitched and are planning to stitch! Congrats on your marriage and move. Lucky you to have a LNS, I can only imagine the trouble I could get into if I had one close to me😂. I am still stitching Halloween and fall. Not quite in the Christmas stitchy mood yet. Looking forward to your next flosstube! Thanks for your time and sharing your beautiful pieces.❤
@@kogrady31 hi! Thank you for your comment! I’m scared for the trouble I’m going to get into having an LNS close to me 😆😆. Glad I’m not the only one still stitching Fall! However, seeing everyone’s Christmas stitching is starting to get me in the mood for it.
I enjoyed seeing all of your projects. Great job. Doesn't look like a 'first' video. I'm trying to get some Christmas ornaments done to decorate my small tree. First time I'm doing that this year. I'll be starting my own flosstube in a couple of weeks so I'm trying to get organized. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Good luck.
Congratulations on your marriage, move and hiatus from teaching. Welcome to the Flosstube community. Love your stitching. I, too, stitch around the holidays and am a stitch in hand girl. I like the process too. Look forward to more of your videos.
@@crosstitcher2 thanks!! Lots more stitchy fun to come. What are you stitching on right now?
Great first flosstube. Congratulations! My son lives about 20 minutes from Stitchers Paradise - so I usually stop in when I’m in Vegas visiting my son. Being such a big fan of Primrose Cottage AND living in Vegas, I bet you’re anxious for their brick and mortar to open. It’s about a two hour drive from Vegas, but OH SO BEAUTIFUL! I look forward to watching your stitching journey.
I took your spin class. Great to see you again! I got back into cross stitch this year and I love it.
@@ambs1184 when did you take my spin class? That’s so awesome. I love that my two worlds are colliding with you! Spin & stitch = my favs!! What got you back into stitching? Do you live in Sac?
Yes I am in Sac. I took a few with you and was in your last one at the studio. I always came with my husband. My brother unexpectedly passed away in 2023 and found that it was a great way to keep the mind calm with all that was going on in my life.
@@ambs1184 awwww. So sorry for your loss. TR got me through a lot of life over the 10 years I was there - I’ve had all the emotions within those four walls. It’s a healing space amongst so many other things. Movement is medicine! I miss my TR community so much, which is one of the reasons I started this flosstube. Hoping to connect with others who love stitching as much as I do. Wonderful to cross paths with you again! Happy Stitching!
Great job Rachel! Hello from Michigan. Like everyone else I like to add a few touches of stitching with my home decor. Just began Turkey Time by Erica Michael’s. I’ve been stitching since I was a young girl & am so delighted to see so many young women stitching. Happy Day & Congrats! 🎉
@@DeborahDeLisle hi! Wonderful to meet you. How wonderful to be stitching throughout your life. I bet you have stitched so many things!! Thank you so much for watching & leaving a comment. Happy Stitching to you!
Thank you. Good job. How lucky you are to be near an LNS. I live in the Los Angeles area so my nearest is your LNS or the Attic in Mesa Arizona. I’m working on Caroline’s Sewing Bag. I’m using 14 count fiddler cloth. I’m loving it. I’ll catch you again at the end of the month. 🦃🍁🪡🧵
Great flosstube. I personally like the way the witch house was framed. It makes the house look grounded and the sky above looks great. I hope that makes sense ❤
@@nancynorin4224 it definitely makes sense! That’s a good perspective. I like it. Thanks for watching & sharing 💕
Congratulations x2! Congrats on your marriage and also on your first Flosstube! Welcome!
@@WendysWhimsicalStitches Thank you so much!!! Happy to be here.
Rachel, what a GREAT GREAT 1st Flosstube, my goodness I truly enjoyed spending time with you!!!!! I finished my Halloween stitching and now I’m stitching Christmas!!!!! 💚
Great first flosstube! New subscriber here! Can’t wait to follow along in your stitchy journey! 💕💕💕
I love that met on the internet piece-my husband and I also met on the internet 😅
Wonderful Start Rachel! 💐❤️💐Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you @pamelafondse2509!! It was so much fun! What have you been stitching on?
I’ve been trying to catch up on those cute little Bitty Bowls. I too stitch in hand and in season! Ha ha I should start 6 months in advance! Congratulations 🥰
I enjoyed seeing your seasonal finishings behind you. I liked seeing your apothecary finish. I haven’t seen anyone else displaying that one. So fun!
Thank you @juliew3740 - I really enjoyed stitching apothecary. I FFO'd it this year and was able to enjoy it on display. I like stitching projects with just one color - they seem to go much faster. Have you done any mono-chromatic projects?
I actually did that one. I also love a monochromatic piece. I also did an Owl Forest Embroidery pattern a couple years ago and I have a Long Dog Sampler waiting in the wings. I just need to complete a couple of gift pieces and then I can get that one started. It’s Love at First Sight by LDS. I have had my heart set on it ever since first seeing it 😁
You are a Flosstube Pro!! As many others have said, we have similar taste, I’m currently stitching Welcome to the North Pole from Primrose Cottage as I was FINALLY able to get the frame that their Dad made. I also just purchased the exact same DDG project bag! I also purchased the Apothecary frame as well and seeing yours makes me want to stitch it now🤣
I have countless FO’s and my goal for 2925 is to fully finish them all and, going forward, to finish them as I complete them and stop procrastinating!
Keep doing what you are doing, you’ve got this! 💖✨
I loved your first flosstube. Congratulations on your marriage. My husband and I just celebrated our 50th anniversary in July.
Loved your video!! Congratulations on getting married and the new house. Lots of fun ahead for you. All of your Halloween stitches were 😍😍😍 I love the primrose minis pattern book that you shared and have already started the hunt for it. I’m working on a Halloween SAL and of course am wayyy behind but just enjoying the process. I can’t wait to see your future videos and projects.
Welcome to flosstube! You have some great finishes and WIPs. Looking forward to seeing more videos!
@@Bluebirdpaperandthread thank you! So happy to be here. Much more sticky content to come!
So enjoyed your first flosstube, can’t wait to see more. Congratulations on all your resent new beginnings.
Thank you @dottyalsawy3719
Hi, Rachel! Thank you for a very enjoyable FlossTube! I loved all your Halloween projects, and their coordinating bags, and you did a great job of keeping the flow going smoothly. I have subscribed, and I look forward to following along on your stitching journey! Oh, for November, I am alternating between three WIPs: Turkey Day by Cottage Garden Samplings, a chart I found on Etsy called Magic Of Autumn by Heartsong Stitchery & Dyeworks, and an older chart by a local designer, Rose Mary LeBlanc, called The French Market…Vendor Stalls. She specializes in New Orleans scenes, and I live in Louisiana. ☺️ Happy stitching until next time!
Meline
@@mm-qm9zh nice to meet you Meline! Thank you for watching. So grateful for your follow. Thank you for sharing your WIPs - I haven’t heard of those patterns so I’ll look them up. I like seeing what others are stitching! 🧵 🪡
Great 1st flosstube. I almost fell out of my chair when you said your LNS is Stitcher’s Paradise and that you just moved here a couple of weeks ago. I also just moved to Las Vegas, (Summerlin) a couple of weeks ago. I also love Stitcher’s Paradise. I would love to get together and stitch, maybe a Starbucks or Panera to start and perhaps we can find a public library with a community room and we can invite other stitchers!
@@vickiereno1665 mahhhh!!! This is amazing. Yes! Let’s get together and stitch. Send me an email -

I thoroughly enjoyed your entire first video. I love your stitchy style.
Can not wait to see more!! Happy stitching 💖
Thank you!!! Lots more to come. :)
Congrats on starting your floss tube, Rachel!!🎉
Thanks @pambump6060!
You are a natural. Keep stitching and sharing. Love all that you are stitching. And I think you are very creative. How fun to have your mom stitch with you. Such a blessing. Thank you! @cbellsew
Welcome, Rachel, to the FlossTube community. Wonderful debut video. Your stitching is beautiful. Best wishes on your recent wedding!! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to many more!
@@SarahsStitchySpot I’m having a fan girl moment over here, Sarah!!!! I LOVE your videos and your positive energy. Thank you for all you share with our community. I love your husband Stan’s song at the beginning of your videos. I appreciate you watching my first video and leaving a comment. We truly have a wonderful stitching community. Thank you for the wishes on my wedding. Look forward to many more of your videos too!
Rachel!! Loved your first video! You’re pro! Love your style and look forward to keeping up with your projects! I’ve got a few of those little Monthly Minks under my belt too. They are so fun. As for this month’s stitching, I went from Halloween strait to Christmas! It’s my fave!!
@@thequiltjunkieTX hi! So nice to meet you. So glad you enjoyed my floastube!! Have you FFO’d any of the monthly minis? Do you have a favorite Christmas pattern?! Thank you for watching!!
@@pacificcoaststitcher Nice to meet you too! I have not FFO'd any of my Mini's bc I am the type to want them finished similar to each other so they can be interchangeable throughout the season. Honestly, I'm on the fence between pillows or a magnetic swap-aloo stitchuation. LOL I don't have a favorite Christmas pattern but I am working ferociously on Festive Forest by Blue Flower for the Jingle Ball! It's a whoooooole lotta stitching in a month! :D
Great Flosstube. Love your variety of stitching. You may want to check out the Silver State Stitch Shop in Boulder City. Jessica has been open for 6 months and offers both cross stitch and quilting. She has quite a few things going on each week, so be sure to check out the classes. If I lived closer, I'd be there all the time.
@@ruthkosturik7176 oh my goodness!!! Thank you so much for this recommendation. I will be making a trip to Silver State as soon as I’m back in Vegas next week! I’m very excited to have TWO LNS’s and plan to spend lots of stitchy time at both. Thanks for watching & much more to come soon!
Well done! Great first video. I have already stitched the sampler on the front of Teresa Kogut's book Hello Halloween. It was a blast to stitch. I'm currently stitching Sir Thomas by Glendon Place.
I'm glad I found your video. I just got back into cross stitching this year. It's nice to find some flosstubers that are just starting so I don't feel like I'm out of the loop. Love all your stitches so far. I definitely gravitate towards Halloween as well. I'm currently starting a Halloween Bucket monthly club stitch by Shannon Christine Designs and possibly her Falling Snow pattern. I just finished Midnight Owl from Mill Hill.
Lucky being close to a stitch store oh my
Fantastic first Flosstube! I just finished A Tisket A Tasket by Rosewood Manor... my favorite fabric is 28ct Lugana, I stitch 1 over 1, so Tishet was half the size its supposed to be! I'm going to be in Vegas the 14th... I looked to see where Stitchers Paradise is compared to our hotel this morning & I'm hoping to Uber over!!! I look forward to seeing your next Flosstube!!!
@@JanetDoucette yes! It’s absolutely worth the visit to Stitcher’s Paradise when you are in town!!
What a great first video ! Can’t wait to see more. Your stitching is beautiful!
Thanks Momma! Can't wait to have you as a guest on my channel!
@@pacificcoaststitcherI’ll look forward to it.
First video and i already love you lol
Welcome! Congratulations on getting married. 🥂🍾 WOW, lots of finishes that are fantastic! My current wip’s are very old Dimensions kits from the 80’s. Anything of Asian/oriental influence I want to stitch, no words for me. I’m usually not a sampler stitcher either, but a lot of them are gorgeous. I can appreciate and admire them. Happy Stitching and maybe one day the hubby might become a stitcher and be in front of the camera too! 😉😁
@@carylminard448 thank you for that wedding wishes! I shared your comment with my hubby and he smiled. You never know…..:)
Yay! Congratulations on your first video Rachel! 🎉 I loved seeing your finishes. So so cute! Right now I’m working on Jack’s Bash and will probably keep stitching on it until the weekend. 🧡
Thanks, Trina!! I'm going to need to have you as a guest on my channel or find a way to highlight your stitching. It's awesome!
Great video. I love all the Primrose Cottage. We seem to stitch on the same projects. 😊
@@Stitching_In_Texas yay! So excited that we are stitching on the same patterns. I LOVE all things Primrose. They are about two hours from me so I will be visiting their store when it opens. What’s your favorite primrose pattern?
@@pacificcoaststitcherJealous! I would be a total fan girl if I lived close by. 😂 😝
Makes me want to cross stitch!!! Great channel!
Brill first flosstube. Congratulations on your marriage but I need to ask you met him on the internet 30years ago gurrrrlll you waited for that ring! ❤
Awesome job!!!!❤️
Thanks you, Charlotte!
Welcome to Flosstube! Halloween is my favorite season to stitch as well-so fun to see your finishes! (I showed some of my Halloween FFO’s in my first Flosstube and a Lizzie Kate banner in my latest if you’re interested in seeing them!) Subscribed and look forward to following along with you in your journey!
Welcome to flosstube! Your displays behind you are so cute! my current wips are two SALs that started this week, one from LIvingOnTheRainbow which is a Mrs Clause cookbook, and then the SecretGrove SAL from Needlelot designs. Ive also got some Halloween wips Ill probably keep fiddling with throughout November.
