- Hello! Welcome to the 4th episode of Comfort Stitching. In this video I share an exciting channel milestone, my current works in progress, and some updates on what I've learned (and not learned) about the "Bridget Power 1840" sampler that I've been working on. I'll show you my most commonly used tools, some stitchy kindness, as well as some stash enhancement, and I round things out by reading a short passage from a journal written by the Trappist monk,Thomas Merton. Thanks so much for watching!

Please don’t ever apologize for taking us along on your history journeys. For me, this is the reason I stitch. The connection to a work someone else has created, especially those from a different time or place, provides a special meaning. I stitch so this form of history is preserved.
Thank you! I’m glad you are here for it!
Jackie, I'm from Londonderry in Northern Ireland and I know that the Power family, of which there are many branches were a very wealthy, well connected family in the 18th and 19th century. I feel certain that you are right that Bridget was not from a lower class family. From the first time I saw this sampler, I thought that she must be connected to the wealthy Powers. I love your Flosstube and look forward to each one ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this information!!! It’s the first time anyone has suggested that maybe, just maybe, Bridget could have been from a family of means. Do you have any first names to go with the surname of Power for me to look into? Or any references to recommend?
@ComfortStitchingJackie I googled Power family Ireland and it suggests they were of Norman descent....the name was originally Le Poer, which meant poor but it states they were by no means poor! They seem to have be centred around County Wicklow and County Waterford but no doubt members may have left Ireland to live in the States and Canada. I don't have any names but I will check with my brother who, as well as being a priest, is also an Irish history fanatic! I'll get back to you with any information I obtain 🥰
@@sharonbruce6639Thank you, thank you!! I will very much look forward to what you might find out!
@@ComfortStitchingJackie I have not read all the comments about Bridget but I am as intrigued about her history as you. One fact I’m interested in is where the antique sampler was found and made its way to Gigi R to be reproduced. Is that information in the chart pak?
I was very interested in your discussion. I’m aware that this design was also released by another designer which also intrigues me. And your strawberry!
@@kaykirn9552unfortunately there is no information about the original sampler in the chart whatsoever. Either the current version or the previous version. 😕
Thank you for your time and sharing. I’m glad that it’s is not a parade of wips. They are calming and informative. I especially like your meditative sharing. Your videos are special and I look forward to them. Thank you again.
Thank you so much!
Tears in my eyes as I come to the end of this wonderful video, Jackie, and how you bare a little of your beautiful soul to us. Your videos are a gift we receive with gratitude.
Wow, thank you. 🩷🩷🩷
“This day will never come again”, I felt that in my soul. Namaste 🙏🏻
🙏🏻 Namaste
Thank you for sharing with us, Jackie! I appreciate so much your putting into words the comfort and peace and JOY that I find through stitching. Your projects are beautiful! I really enjoy your artist’s eye and your passion for the historical context of this wonderful hobby. 💚Michele
Thank you so much! 😊
My favorite fruit is strawberry 🍓 I appreciate all of the research and information. When my second child (at 15) was diagnosed with cancer, I learned and was constantly reminded that we would never have this day, this moment again. He is now 36 and I’ll still appreciate every moment
Jackie, thank you for sharing all the details of Bridgette. I loved hearing all you have and have not learned about her origin and how you feel connected to her though you do not know her. Your ending of the video was very moving. This day will never come again. So simple to say yet so deeply felt when pondered. Thank you. You have such a sweet soul. ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you! 🩷
What a wonderful way to start my Sunday
This day will never come again is so profound
I’ve learned to stop the busyness and take a moment
My dear friend who died too young shared this during her last week on earth
Stop….make a memory of this moment as you travel through life
It will sustain you during the hard times and bring great joy
So I try to make a memory each day
Whether it’s the blossoming of a flower the rain as it travels down the rain chain
Giggles of my grandchildren
The dawn of a new day
A vivid sunset
So thank you for the memory
What a beautiful thing your friend shared with you. Thank you for sharing it with me. 🩷
I absolutely love this program.you are so easy to listen to.. i will as long as i can forever be watching
.i would love the strawberrys project
Dear Jackie, you are such a gift....and I thank you for taking the time to give so freely of yourself....for inviting us into a sweet relationship with you. "This day will not come again." Nor, this moment.....to take the time to thank you....to smell the freshness of this morning after our brief storm. We only come this way but once. Blessings. Debbie.
You are so welcome. Thank YOU! 🩷
It’s 4:30 am in my neck of the woods and I cannot sleep…again. You can’t even imagine how excited that I was to see you had a new video up!! I hope you make hundreds of FlossTube and/or creative videos. You’re a pro at this!! 😊 Thank you!!
☺️☺️☺️ thank you!
Newly subscribed but have enjoyed your flosstubes from the start. Keep them coming!Your stitching is amazing!!Love a fresh strawberry! 1:41:21
Oh my, what a wonderful episode this has been. With the wonderful strawberry pack from Floralegum and your adorable acorn to your beautiful stitching and research on its history. Your passion for your stitching shines through in each episode. The variety you included in this episode shows how much thought you put into your flosstubes and I would like to tell you how much this is appreciated. Your mindfulness meditation was the perfect ending and will remain with me for sure. These words touched my heart and gave words to what I have felt but not been able to put the words to myself. Since a diagnosis of leukemia turned my world upside down, this is often how I have felt but without the words to describe it. I now have the words 😊 Thankyou
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m glad what I shared has resonated with you. I wish you all the best on your healing journey. 🩷🩷🩷

You are so calming to my soul! Thank you for taking the time to touch me so deeply! You give me time to sit back and relax and listening to your soothing voice that brings me so much peace! Your stitching is so beautiful! Can’t wait to visit again with you!
First time watcher, thank you for being able to expess verbally exactly how I feel about stitching. Now to go back and listen to the others. Lived your strawberry also.
You are so welcome! Thank for being here!
Very inspiring video. Both in stitching and your life thoughts.. You are a old soul.
Thank you for the gift of your time. It is much appreciated.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing your time and talents. I love the acorn and the leaf needle book. I am making needle books, yo, yo’s for a quilt, putting together a hexagon quilt and stitching a cross stitch by Lori Holt. I am a monogamous stitcher when it comes to needlework. Love the velvet strawberry. My son has planted several kinds of strawberries this year, I had no idea there are so many different kinds of strawberries. I’m 67 and learn so many new things each day, we’re never too old to learn something new or historical! Love your RUclips videos. ❤
Thank YOU so much for sharing! I appreciated hearing about what everyone is working on. 🍓
A dear friend led me to your floss tube channel, and I am so happy she did. I will definitely be going back to watch your other video's. The name of your channel is spot on, you have a very calming effect on me and I really enjoy being inspired by you. I collect strawberry pin keeps. They are such a traditional piece to any sewing kit. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and I look forward to watching you again soon.
Thanks so much for spending time with me and for your kind words! 🍓
Your channel is so different than others- what a great and unique perspective you bring to us viewers. Thank you! Strawberry
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it!
I was very comforted by your calm voice and demeanor, my Mom passed away a week ago and stitching brings me joy and peace. Thank you for your kindness, I love the velvet strawberry.
I’m so sorry for your loss. 🩷🩷🩷
Irish resident here! A small point that's actually a very important point - a lot of folks in the republic don't use the word famine when relating to that period of Irish history. They'll say "the genocide", and rightfully so, if you look into the history of what happened both leading up to and during the period of the 1830s-50s. While it's true that there was a natural blight, tenant farmers were forced to continue to export large amounts of crop to Britain, a crop that had been forced on them to be their only food source, or else lose their homes. Whatever the circumstances of the landlords, they didn't starve to death like the million farmers who did. I felt it important to mention for anyone reading, who might now be interested in Irish history.
Wonderful stitching as always!
Thank you for sharing! Very interesting information!
Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s not anything that I came across on my research. I really appreciate hearing another perspective on this!
I have very much enjoyed your videos. I’m an old guy but a newbie to cross stitch - now midway through my third project - but some health problems have slowed my progress. Hoping for more good days when counting is a tad more reliable. I found your hunt for Bridget Power really intriguing, and the summary of the items you use when stitching had me making notes. Thank you for four excellent flosstubes and I look forward to more.
Welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
I loved hearing all about Bridget since I am stitching the top section. I love a good strawberry. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your beautiful and informative videos! So calming. Love the strawberry and darling acorn.
Jackie, I was having a really bad afternoon and just spent the time to watch your flosstube. I feel so much more peaceful now. Thanks you for what you bring to this community ❤
I'm so glad! Thank you. 😊
Thanks for what you add to the stitching community. I look forward to watching when I see a new episode pop up on my list. Strawberry
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing all that you have learned in your search of the Bridgette Power Sampler. My ancestry is from Ireland and it was so special to hear about what you have learned in your search. There are so many things I love about your floss tube, I love the meditations, I love learning form you, I love the calmness that I feel when I listen. It is a joy to join in with you and stitch. It's also joy to eat a strawberry. Thank You!
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! 🩷🍓🩷
I am absolutely loving your floss tubes. You have a gift and thank you so much for sharing your stitching! Don't ever think you are spending too much time on the history or the unknown. I too find myself thinking about the person who originally stitched a sampler. Its such a joy to sit and watch your videos. Strawberry
Thank you so much! 🩷🍓🩷
Thank you, Jackie, for your time, your talent, your powerful words. I have tears in my eyes as I deeply digest the words,"This day will never come again." I will try to be more mindful of that through the challenges and joys each moment brings my way.❤🙏
You are so welcome. 🩷
Thank you for all that you shared in this video. I admire how your stitching journey has allowed you to expand not just your knowledge of stitching but also your circle of friends. I hope that you will be able to unlock the mystery of who Bridget Powers was and the story behind her sampler. In a world full of empty words and meaningless activities thank you for your moments of meditation/reflection. As someone who works in healthcare and survived cancer twice, it was nice to be reminded of how important it is to appreciate the moments of today. I look forward to your next video! Strawberry.
Thank you! 🩷🍓
When we are passionate about something, it’s never boring! Thank you for sharing what you have found out about Bridget. It’s summer where I am, too. I have wild strawberries growing in my yard. A true strawberry summer!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching and your heart. A joy to listen to you!
Thank you so much!
Many thanks, Jackie! Your honestly and suggestions are most welcome. While in my sewing room or quietly stitching on the porch….i love my favorite subscriptions….you are certainly one of my favorites. I purchased the Bridget Power 1840 pattern. Will order threads and this will be my winter project. Thank you for introducing us to so many new designers. Our area is limited to cross stitch and so many depend on the internet for purchases. Now I will close and enjoy a bowl of strawberries from a local farm stand.
Thank you so much! 🍓🩷🍓
I really enjoy your floss tube. Your following has grown quickly! I enjoyed the shop tour and love the strawberry kits! Your table mate gifts are adorable!
Thank You, for sharing ALL your insight with us. I so enjoy your flosstube videos. As I have messaged you previously, I feel a parallel journey with you. Not just that we grew up close to each other on that stateline boarder, but love for art, cross stitch, color and finding time to be present with our own self being. Thank you! The strawberry pinkeep looks beautiful as do your acorn and leaves. Happy Stitching. ♥️🪡🧵☮️
You are so welcome! And thank YOU! 🍓🩷🍓🩷
Thank you for sharing all your beautiful stitching and the history you share with all of us. I love this stitching community. I lost my sister a few months ago unexpectedly and my stitching has helped me. It’s has helped me through so many ups and downs. I am so thankful that I can stitch and have videos like yours to get me through each day. Thank you so much for doing your videos. I know it’s a lot of work and we all appreciate you doing them. 🧵🪡✂️🧵 Strawberry

I so admire and appreciate your determination in searching Bridget Power's history and thank you for taking us along on your journey. It's absolutely fascinating! I'm sure I was one of the many stitchers that fell in love at first sight with the beautiful velvet strawberry kits offered by Florilegium and would count myself very lucky to be the recipient. Thank you for another wonderful video ❤
Glad you enjoyed it and Thank YOU! 🩷🍓🩷
Always surprising and wonderfully so to find like minded, kind hearted friends who are stitching along together. Now, all we need is a 🍓 strawberry 🍓 or two!!
Absolutely!!
I really enjoyed the tour through your stitchy supplies! This hobby is my passion. Spending a bit of time stitching along with floss tube is definitely time well spent. Thank you for the always interesting conversation! While I don’t particularly enjoy stitching a strawberry, I do love a beautifully made strawberry pin cushion. 😊
You are so welcome!
Your moment of Medication was deep, I felt it. That profound sensation of yours was transmitted via internet. "This Day will never come again." Im in tears, what a revelation. I felt it Girl, i felt it. Thanks😘
Thanks for sharing!! I’m glad it resonated. 🩷
I believe as we get older we learn to slow down, look around our world and notice small things in nature. We begin to understand that this moment/day will never come again, and that life is short. You are a beautiful soul, and your manner of speaking, sharing, and calm is a real gift. I thank you for sharing your journey with us. The story about Bridget Powers is certainly interesting, and the sampler is beautiful! That basket or pot of flowers is amazing!
Thank you so much! 🩷🩷🩷
I have a Strawberry allergy, but stitched version are right up my street. I was admiring you acorn pincushion in your opening sequence.
Your Flosstubes are a breath of fresh calming air, thank you, I love being your virtual table-mate 😊
☺️🩷☺️🩷
Your voice soothes my soul! The acorn is exquisite! All stitchers love a strawberry ❤
What an interesting flosstube! Enjoyed hearing about your journey with trying to find who Bridget Powers was. I enjoy seeing what tools everyone is using. And what a devotional story. It really make you stop and think about your life. Thank you. Happy Stitching!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Not bored at all with your journey with Bridget. Intrigued!
Fabulous update, loved all the delving in to Brigette. You are drawing me in to the world of vintage cross stitch. The strawberries are gorgeous too ❤
Wonderful!
Jackie! This day will never come again but think of all the days to come! Finding new patterns and floss and fabric! 🥰
So true! Thank you!
I reached the end of your video. Yes, this day will never come again. I thought back on those days I shared with my loved ones and I felt sad but grateful to have had those moments with them. Then I thought of those days that were not so good and felt a bittersweet relief that those days will never come again and hurt that I can't erase them from my memory. 😢
We can’t erase a memory but we can release attachment to it. It takes conscious practice and forgiveness. Be well.
Thank you for sharing Thomas Merton. I have been a reader of his work and also follow Carolyn Myss . Funny how the planets align and 7500 subscribers have found you including me. I love what you impart to us . Life is about connections and the stories that we share which give us comfort and grace. Strawberries !!!!!
Thanks so much! Caroline’s work is amazing. So happy there are others here who are on a similar path! 🩷
Hi Jackie, I have been with you and subscribed on #1! I really appreciate your thoughts and inspiration on our shared love of stitching tiny crosses into fabric until a beautiful design appears! I enjoyed the “field trip” in the last video. The strawberry pin cushions are so delicate and beautiful. They remind me of my grandmother. Your comforting voice and inspiring thoughts on your latest stitching adventures have become my favorite flosstube. Thank you for sharing your creativity while I stitch along with you. 😀🪡
Thank you for being here since the beginning! It’s been an interesting journey so far. I’m glad you are here for it. 🍓🩷🍓🩷
Just found your channel. Just the calming I need in my life as my husband’s is on hospice. You ended with profound statement, this time will never come again. Loved hearing that and taking it to heart! ❤
Thank you! 🩷
Thank you for sharing your research into Bridget Powers. I think that connection from over 100 years make the sampler that much more fascinating. Both of your sampler wips are beautiful. I enjoyed seeing your stitching set up. Don't we all love a strawberry.
Thanks for sharing! 🍓
Your entire flosstube is a meditation, Jackie. Your depth of search for Brigit's history is a delight. I'm guessing more info will be coming! Thanks for a lovely evening.
Oh, thank you! I’m really enjoying the search for Bridget and am getting a lot on interesting input from viewers, too. 😊
The strawberry kit and the one you made with the acorn are beautiful. Love watching your videos and seeing your projects.
I try to remind myself of that aspect of life as often as I can. Our experiences may be very similar from day to day or year to year, but they are never exactly the same. I try to remind myself to be present in the moment to appreciate what I have and that I'm blessed, even when it doesn't always feel like it. That was a very good meditation for us all to absorb and remember.
☺️ I’m glad it resonated!
Thank you for this video… ❤ I can’t wait to share “This day will never come again. “
@@michellehudson3712 I’m pleased it resonated with you! 🩷🍓🩷
I love Strawberries---eating them and using them in my handwork! Love your flosstube too!
Dear Jackie, I have enjoyed your Flosstube because it brings me comfort & quiet in such a time as this. Maybe it's my Power blood flowing thru my veins & hearing you speak of the Power Family. They are Irish & my family records go way back. I will try to bring them out
& go over them & look for Bridget Power.
There are some of the Power Clan added
an s thru the years in America to Powers. My grandmother was Annie Power & most all the ladies were very fine needleworkers & quilters.
I will get back to you if I find a connection.
I loved your shop tour & I love the Strawberry
Everything! Thank You!!!🍃🌹Sharol
Oh my goodness, Sharol!!! You have no idea how excited I am to hear this news! I will be waiting on pins and needles to hear from you. If you’d like to share anything more privately please email me at comfortstitchingjackie@gmail.com
Jackie, love all your videos and your meditation portion at the end of each one but this one really touched me because “this day will never come again.” How profound! I look forward to more from you! Strawberry plants are wonderful.
You are so welcome! Thank you!
I appreciate the research you have done in finding information about this sampler, it’s beautiful. I thought I was of German descent, but I found family history from Ireland in the 1700’s.
The strawberry pincushion is positively lovely, I would love a kit!❤️
I like your videos and all the things you share. Your stitching is so beautiful. You are a beautiful lady and your kindness shows through. I would venture to say that your thought about this day never will come again is not really widely thought about. I thought about it and I cried. It hit me very hard. Love you and take care
Thank you for sharing. 🩷
Super video. Love seeing your progress on your projects. Oh the history you are capturing is awesome, love the journey. Thank you for sharing. Strawberry
Thank you for another fantastic flosstube. Your stitching is beautiful and your videos are so calming and relaxing to watch/ listen to.
Thanks for sharing your stitching tools too. I only recently discovered the star detailer thanks to another flosstube and it has been so useful; I’m not the only one that plays thread chicken then! I’m also a paper chart/ highlighter stitcher who cuts and sticks together charts but I’m naughty and do this to the original!
I’m very happy that it is currently strawberry season here in the UK; they are the perfect summer treat.
Psst, don’t tell anyone but I’m highlighting on the original of Antoinette! 😱😄
I so enjoy watching your flosstubes! Thank you and Gretchen for the strawberry giveaway!
I've been stitching on a Keeper of the Pins piece by Brenda Gervais in the #2 Nurge hoop while watching you. I agree! The Nurge seems to work for me as well. Lots of tomatoes with a Strawberry tucked in here & there. Takes me back to my Mom's red velvet tomato pincushion that sat perched on her sewing table. I lost her recently...funny how little trinkets become so dear with such warm memories, when once taken for granted. I agree...the fewer moments we have, the more precious they become. Awareness of that is key! Your videos have been so educational, both historically, spiritually, & stitchywise. I look forward to each one. Thankyou for sharing, so vulnerably(sp?) your creative spirit with us all. ❤
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your sweet memories. 🍓🩷🍓

Love the strawberry kit!! Your needle book and acorn are wonderful, lucky ladies who received them!! Thanks for sharing all the special things you use when stitching, a lot similar to what I use! I fold my pattern down to where I am stitching, the I use a magnet on the fabric so it is right there and I can see it, then mark where I have been! Thanks for what you share!
Thank you so much!
Your flosstubes talk about cross stitch but on another level! This is so interesting! thank you for sharing this 😊 strawberry
You are so welcome!
Good morning wherever you are dear Jackie,
Today i find myself happily stitching on a bookmark for a birthday gift.
I have to share with you a little surprise i saw last September, just exactly when i needed to see it.
My father planted strawberries and sold them with his homemade birdhouses. One of those birdhouses was at the 1st retreat I ever went to! He gave me some of his berries to plant and I never enjoyed seeing them come to fruition as I moved away from that house and could not take them with me. I lost the birdhouse he had give to me as well. 😢
He passed in summer 2021.
Relatable is the tale of how on the day of my baby granddaughter's funeral one of her sisters was excited about the strwaberry plants her mother had planted beginning to bear fruit. There were 3 & her mom told her to share but, she defiantly popped that little handful into her mouth and gobbled them right up.
What delightful treats you have to share good wishes to all.
Your velvet acorn and wool leaf needlebook are inspiring. Now I want to rifle through my stash to see if I have something suitable for a similar small accoutrements.
🪡🍓🌰🍂❤️🔥🕊
Than you so, so much for sharing that story! Memories and stories like that are true treasures. 🩷🩷🩷🍓
I love strawberry, thank you so much. I enjoyed your video. I just found you and subscribed. ❤

Thanks so much!
Thank you for another wonderful video. enjoying these so much and Appreciate you sharing all the info with your tools. Im a Fiber fan but only recently came back to cross stitch from many decades ago. I inherited my grandmother’s DMC stash and get goosebumps whenever i can pull a bobbin color noted in her beautiful handwriting. Thank you for all the inspiration and encouragement. 🙏🏽💛✨Grateful that we can be virtual stitching friends ( and meditations) and I’m enjoying all the strawberries! 🍓

I always love to watch your floss tubes. Thank you for your time recording all this goodness. Summer is here in Washington State and the strawberries and blueberries are in full fruit. Sweet and delicious. Just made my first blueberry pie. It was yummy.
Wow your stitching is beautiful..Love seeing what you're working on, Hugs!
You are so welcome! Thank you! 🍓🩷🍓
Excellent flosstube thank you. This day will never come again but I will gladly spend it with you. Happy stitching.I bought Brittany sampler after seeing yours. This is a challenge for me because I never stitch large pieces and never wanted to.
You can do it!! 🩷🍓🩷
Missing strawberry season but just finished my strawberry stitch. Enjoying watching and the relaxing feel you create !
Thank you for keeping me company on my first solo camping trip. It is a rainy day in Iowa, so no botanical garden excursions. Sat and stitched in my camper and enjoyed your conversation! Thanks!
I’m so glad I could keep you company!
Lovely Strawberry! Welcome to Flosstube 😊
Hi Jackie! Thank you for another wonderful video. Congratulations on your milestone! Strawberry 🍓
Oh wow, huge congratulations on your 7k follower milestone, you have a USP with your mindfulness which is why we all love you. Many of us craft for our own mental health whether we know it nor not. Strawberry ‘This day will never come again’, so very true and profound as you say, this is perhaps why I find it hard to look back at photographs, they always remind me of a time gone which I find sad, even if those people are still in my life. 💗
Thank you so much! You must be in marketing, I had to look up what USP was. 🤭 Mindfulness and intentionality are just part of my life so I guess they can’t help but be part of anything I do. Im grateful it resonates with so many people. Thank you again! 🩷
I love the history. I love the hair clip idea! I do the same thing with needles sticking them in the arm of my couch 😊
Your videos are inspiring and the strawberry kit looks fun but the best part is a part of you added to this gift in the form of a handmade by you acorn and leaf needle book. Amazing
Oh thank you! 🩷🩷🩷
Thank you for showing Florilegium I think it is the same shop I use to make a special trip to when I lived in WI and we would go to Madison, WI. Then it disappeared and we couldn’t find where they had relocated. So it was with great delight that I saw it on your floss tube. A strawberry is wonderful and so is your floss tube. Thank you
You are so welcome! Florilegium is a fantastic place. You should give them a call you haven’t done so already! ☺️
Wow! How thought provoking. I love your floss tube, and your sharing. I feel a connection to you on some level. Keep up the good work 👍🤗
Thank you so much! 😊 🩷
Thank you for sharing your research on Bridgette. I find it so interesting! And for sharing your stitching notions & stuff. When I was first married, I use to put my needles in the couch arm. But one night my husband leaned down to kiss me hello & stuck his palm with a needle. Oops! 🥴 After that I started leaving my needle in my fabric. 😂 Love the quote, This day will never come again. ❤ strawberry
Thank you for sharing! Thankfully my dog doesn’t get in that chair so no worries here. 😊
Thank you for sharing you thoughts on stitching materials. I love anything with a strawberry on it. Happy stitching!
Oh wow. I have this model in my shopping cart. You made me decide on this one. Thanks!
Thank for this so educational and inspiring video. You provided a wonderful experience this afternoon. Thank you as always, your virtual table mate. ❤ ❤

Really enjoy your journey with Bridget Powers. Yes it was emotional when you made that first connection with that lovely leafy vine. Congratulations on your subscribers. Strawberry and banana combination make a lovely jam.
Thanks so much for joining me!
Jackie,
Thank you for sharing today, your journey with Bridget Powers, is an interesting one to follow and your stitching lovely!!
“Today will never come again “, only reinforces the importance of taking the time to notice all around us! I believe we live in Heaven on Earth, if we just take the time to notice the beauty around us. The beautiful red perfectly formed strawberry, is just an example . ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you! 🍓
I enjoy your journey of finding Bridgit Power. History is fascinating. Thank you for sharing your progress. Until next time, happy stitching.
Thanks for watching!
Your flosstubes really have a profound effect on me. The quote “this day will never come again” left me saddened. I am feeling so content stitching and watching you. I’ve had dinner, the dogs are napping, hubby is watching tv, everything is so peaceful. I know I will have a similar day in the future, but it saddens me this one is almost over. Thank you for the tip on the Colonial needles and Bohin scissors. I had to go to Etsy and Amazon and order. I have a pair of Gingher stork scissors I use but would like another pair. I loved the look into Bridget’s life. I, too, am always wanting more information. Happy stitching! P.S. I love a good strawberry.
Thank you so much!
I really enjoy your videos and the name of your channel. Stitching of all types (and many other crafts) are certainly a source of comfort and joy. Your presentation is also comforting and most enjoyable. The strawberry kit would be lovely to complete! Happy stitching from out in Oregon.
Thank you so much! 😊
Just love your videos. Look forward to watching them every time. The strawberry kit looks gorgeous.❤
Thanks so much 😊
