Oh trust me she knows and thinks of you as a friend as well! It truly is amazing how many things we do have in common! And I added a few to my wishlist as well. I’m so thrilled our paths have crossed. Your colors for the quacker is just gorgeous and I’m so excited that you are going to join in on Hello Halloween! My votes: Some sort of Fun for 50 reminder. The greens on the fox! I would count all of your starts as starts but also allow yourself an extra for good luck! (My family always put an extra candle on the cake for luck)
Ah my friend! I love the extra for good luck! I can't wait to start Hello Halloween and it means you have become a part of my #funfor50 journey too. So lovely to chat at the weekend and I'm glad you are keeping safe. Big hugs and happy stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Your title made me laugh 😂. I like fun for 50 Sal on the back and l like the green for your vine on the light. But whatever you pick will be perfect. You can count whatever you want towards your sal and I think you can go over. 😂
Sally!! Greetings from Dallas! It’s always such a joy to get your flosstubes!! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it in your next video!! Hugs!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Michael! Not long to go now - starting to feel 50 already 🥱🫨🤣 Still don't quite know what is planned but I'm excited for a surprise! Watch this space!! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Hi Sally!! I finally sat down and started watching a little flosstube. And there it is...already in trouble as I love the Barbara Ana Light. 😂 Right now I am watching and stitching on Weeds and Wildflowers. I wanted to have it done in September but it is more stitching than I thought. Had to laugh when you said it was Friday the 13th. That passed by and I had not even realized. So nice to see what you have been doing! I just have to say to you ... your stitching, your rules!! Do all the starts you want if you love them. Life is all about the pleasure of pulling needle and thread through fabric! Back to my stitching...🪡 Back again...I am also stitching Cabin In The Woods this winter. I will be altering it slightly to add Cranberry Cottage which is the name of our woodland cottage. 🤎
Lovely to hear from you Heidi. Barbara Ana Light is a freebie so no pennies have to exchange hands so not too much trouble for that one lol. I now have even more projects I want to start.......I need to retire! Happy Stitching my friend x
Hi sally im in love with that purple fabric for the Barbara ana stitch and i would do green for the vines and what a lovely gift your mum made you such a keepsake for life to pass down i love things like that look forward to another flosstube ❤🫶🏻
Also a very very happy birthday 🎈🎁🎂🎉🎊 …may you have lots more to come…btw thanks for sharing your mom’s stitching..as i probably am around your mom’s age ..its nice to see you honor her..👏
Thank you! Only a couple more days to the big 50!! I love Mum's stitching and I think as a stitcher myself I appreciate the time and effort she puts in. It's nice we now go stitchy shopping together too! Xxx
Hi Sally, glad to see you again and love seeing all the stitching as usual. Lots of comments for you so first I vote for the green vines… the blue won’t show up as well. Also go for the 51st start. We always add an additional birthday candle for luck and to ‘grow’ on…😂,,,there just isnt enough time to stitch all the things!!!!…as always, happy stitching. Cheers!
Oh Sally! It’s so lovely to see the threads all ready to go for Cabin! I will have to check out this new fabric dyer! I cannot wait to see what fabric you choose! 🧵💗
Always like watching your videos, your choice of colours and patterns are inspiring me 😍 #funfor50sal gets my vote....and still going with the green for Light 💚.
Thanks Sarah! I like your answers to both of my questions thank you! Glad to be inspiring but no responsibility for your credit card usage 🤣🤣 Happy Stitching! Xx
The green threads for sure 💚 loving your quackalong choice of colours I really would like to start but umming and arrring on colours x I'm back and I have been down a KBH rabbit hole and omg I love her i want her to be my best friend her energy is amazing ! Lol
Thank you - I love the green too! The QuackAlong is such fun. I wasn't sure about colours but have just gone for it and I think it will be ok. Isn't Karen great - I am trying my hardest to make her my new best friend 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
I vote „Greens“!!! 😬 Also, don’t count the secret stitches 😬 I am so happy, that you are joining us in the „Hello Halloween“ SAL 😍 I can’t wait to start it. It’s kitted and waiting to be picked up 😅 Lovely Flosstube my friend ❤️ And congratulations on 2 years on Flosstube 🥳🥳🥳 That’s amazing! See you soon 😘
Thank you Alex - I can always rely in you to give me a good answer thank you! So excited about Hello Halloween! Are you doing the big one too? Happy Stitching my friend 🧵🪡❤️
This Halloween charts looks great! (As do your other stitches but we particularly love Halloween in this house!) I think you should put “fun for 50” on your mattress as it was your opening piece & you will stuff it with your orts which effectively closes off the year ❣️ xx
Thanks Anna - I think I am going too as it is the 1st one and a special part of the year with all the orts. Happy Stitching and maybe, just maybe I will see you soon?
I made it to 50 starts and am going to keep going until I reach my own age Sally. I think I will do this every year. We both have retreats coming up…hooray! 🦉🧵🪡😊
Next year I am just going to start as many as I want! I know 50 won't be so bad. It has been a fantastic year though! Loved doing it and making so many new friends on the way!
Lovely video Sally!! I hope you reach the big 2K soon! ✨ While you were talking about what you should put on the Stitch in London piece, I was thinking you should add your fun for 50 hashtag - and then you suggested it! So that gets my vote 😊
Thank you soooo much! I'm so close to 2k now....icing on the cake! I am definitely going to put #funfor50sal2024 as that has been 2024 for me and I've loved every minute of it and sharing it with you all too! 🪡🧵❤️
Hi Sally, I’ve finally got around to watching your floss tube. I’m a bit behind at the moment! Loved seeing all of your WIPs. Light is looking amazing. I still think the greens will look gorgeous on the fabric. Love your progress on With Thy Hands. Can’t wait to see what fabric you get for Cabin in the Woods. I’m planning on starting it for my birthday. Have a fantastic birthday. Happy stitching 😊 x
Hi Sally! For the Light piece, I’d go with the greens you chose over the called for blues. I also like Fun for Fifty for the first piece you showed. Beautiful progress on all your WIPS.
Thank you Thea - it is all about the fun isn't it! I am desperate to get some finishes now too so trying to stitch as much as I possibly can 🤣 Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
So nice to have your video to watch this Sunday afternoon! I voted already on Instagram but will vote for green again here. I went to open stitch yesterday at my LNS and met someone else who is having the same milestone birthday as me next year. Cabin in the Woods will be my first start for next year's birthday celebration. Love all your projects. Take care!
I'm looking forward to stitching Cabin in the Woods with you! Hopefully there will be a few other new starts I can join you with to celebrate 🥳 Happy Stitching my friend x
Thanks Mary - I think you can see it better on here than on my Instagram picture. I think either will look great to be honest but being a bit more adventurous with the green! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Thank you - we are so lucky there are such wonderful designers out there aren't we! I hope you can start Americana Blue with me this week? Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
I went immediately and voted for Green, didn’t even wait for the video to end LOL - thanks for mentioning the design by Lauren at flossabilities as I had seen it around but never heard/seen mention of who it was by. It is definitely on my list to purchase. Take care, Nic x
Hi, really enjoyed your video as always ❤Away we ride and the night riders sal are both kitted up and waiting to go, just need to decide which to start later on, I'm also working on a long dog sampler using gentle art threads and some silks, the pointed fifth. Have also bought a sewing machine last week so trying to learn basic sewing which is proving frustrating 😂as I'm not as good as I want to be, need more patience! Thanks again xx
Thank you for watching! Practice with some scraps of fabric on your machine and you will get more confident! Always double check your fabric is the right way round (usually right sides together - I still forgot to check sometimes and have to unpick it!). It will come! Also pins are your best friend! Good luck and happy stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Don’t count the secret stitches. I have several of those too 😉 I’m also struggling with the I want to stitch everything vibes. I haven’t started my Stutch in London exchange small yet either! There are just so many good pattern, fun sals and everything else going on! I have kitted up Cabin in the Woods for a start next year for someone else’s birthday Sal (sort of, I think). I love it and cannot wait!
Can you believe I've not stitched on it since so not got that far yet but made up my mind I'm using the green!! Hope you are well! Happy Stitching my friend 🪡🧵❤️
Lovely spending time with you again, allotment grown beans are the best, i miss my allotment. I have to ask, you have a stunning picture behind you, looks like snow covered trees and birds! do you know who the artist is? good luck hitting 2k! fingers crossed for you x
Ah it's just not a colour I am drawn too. Would not usually buy green clothing - more of a pink/purple girl. I bet you look good in green though don't you - I think i am too pale for it!! Sending a big hug to brighten your evening too. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡💚
It's an XJuDesigns fabric and I managed to buy it as I was attending The Big Stitch and they organised an order for those who requested it. Best bet is Etsy in the UK. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Great to see you tonight Sally. 50 or 52 starts doesn't matter. Stitch it if it makes you happy. Now that I've seen the course again, I'm changing my mind & voting for green. Love all your projects & I've loved following the funfor50sal this year. Can't believe it's almost at an end. Have a great time at Stitch in London. Take care, best wishes from 🇮🇪
Thank you Anne-Marie! I think the colours are more true to life on the video than on Instagram so the greens do look better. I think that will be my choice! I have really enjoyed the funfor50 this year and I'm going to miss it - might need to come up with some more challenges 🤔🤣🤣 Can't wait for SIL! Happy Stitching my friend 🧵🪡❤️
Thank you! I have done a couple of gifts along the way but as we get to the end and I'm juggling what I want to stitch I think you're right! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Does it matter if you go over 50? I would have thought ‘at least 50’ is a huge achievement. Or … don’t count things that are smalls for other people! Stitch what makes you happy!
Love all your starts and excited to see the 8 more you have left! I have emailed you. Thanks again❤
I hope you enjoy the Halloween Stitch along! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Definitely go with the green threads! They are beautiful 💚
I love them too - I think they have been more of a hit on here than on Instagram! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡💚💚
I really enjoy seeing your progress and like your project choices ❤
Thank you! Thanks for watching and commenting too. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️

I'm voting for the green thread. But both are nice. Lovely stitching Sally 😊
Thank you for watching and thank you for voting for the green! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Always great to see what you’re working on. Count the secret stitches because they exist 😅
Ooohhhh - but then I will go over 50.....hey why not 50, 51, 52 🤣🤣🤣🤣🪡🧵❤️
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. I would use the green threads for the vines. Happy stitching and Happy Birthday!
Thank you sooo much! I love the green too so that's the way I'm going to go! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️

Hi Sally! For the Light piece, I’d go with the greens you chose over the called for blues. I also like Fun for Fifty for the first piece you showed. Beautiful progress on all your WIPS.
Thank you! I'm loving all my wips! Just wish I had more time to stitch....Happy Stitching 🪡🧵❤️
Hi Sally, enjoyed your video as always 🎉 I would defently go for green and don't count the secret stitching 😂😂😂 53, 54...it's all about the fun ❤

Hi Sally! You are further ahead than me on Quackalong! Yours looks fabulous.
I haven't done any on since though 🤣🤣 I'll bring it to SIL to compare notes! Xx

Use your greens on Barbara Anna.... so much better for vines!!
I think everyone else agrees with us! Green it is! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Great episode. Think you're right with the green. ❤
Thanks Mary - I think you can see it better on here than on my Instagram picture. I think either will look great to be honest but being a bit more adventurous with the green! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
You stitch the nicest patterns! I'm going to get Americana blue now! Love your videos! Take care

So much to stitch and so little time! When can we retire eh! Who would have thought we'd end up with more than 50 🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈
Personally I'd go for the greens with the purple, simpley because I frequently put purples and greens together
I do think they look amazing together - much more 'pop' than the blue! Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
Lovely video, Sally. Let's see ... the 2 questions I can remember - green thread instead of blue; 50 for 50 SAL for the writing. steph x
Thank you Steph! I think the general consensus is green - it does look so good on the purple fabric! Happy Stitching my friend 🧵🪡❤️
I'm sure I'm too late for this, but I think the green options will look best on "Light' by Barbara Ana - trust your gut! x
Can you believe I've not stitched on it since so not got that far yet but made up my mind I'm using the green!! Hope you are well! Happy Stitching my friend 🪡🧵❤️
Lovely spending time with you again, allotment grown beans are the best, i miss my allotment.
I have to ask, you have a stunning picture behind you, looks like snow covered trees and birds! do you know who the artist is?
good luck hitting 2k! fingers crossed for you x
Thanks Jen! I've missed spending time at the allotment this year - life has just got busy. Next year I hope will be better! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
I like your ‘Fun for 50’. Maybe add 1974 - 2024?
That's a great idea - I will if I have room! Happy Stitching 🧵🪡❤️
What Sally - how can you not like greens? That’s blasphemy!! 😂 just kidding obviously! Thanks for brightening up my day 😊
