I do hope that you will have her back again, to talk more about samplers. Thank You for both, for this enjoyable break in my day. 💐💐💐💐💐
I am so happy you got your tiny gift at a good time! I just wanted to make you smile. ~ I learned so much from Pat’s talk. It makes me want to stitch a sampler. I really like the one you’re going to stitch for your birthday.
Amylovestoads ... that tiny gift was a healing balm to my heart. Thank you again! Isn't Pat wonderful??? You just have to get down here and chat with her yourself!!!
Please do another interview with Pat on the 1800’s samplers. Thank you thank you. I love the respectful approach of the samplers. This was GREAT❤️❤️❤️❤️

Deb, thank you so much for the kindness!!! Isn't Pat just wonderful? I am on the lookout for just the right piece for my second antique sampler. Much joy to you!
Donna Rae, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful talk with Pat Ryan. It is so kind of you to take the time to share such a wealth of information. Donna Rae, your new do is just darling, so becoming.
Thank you Donna Rae for this very special video!! I enjoyed listening to Pat she is so knowledgeable about Samplers and just history in general. ❤️❤️ I hope she will come back soon!!! Love your Red Sampler it is beautiful!! Happy stitching!! ❤️❤️❤️ Lynn
Oh my word! This is THE BEST flosstube I have ever watched. Pat is such a treasure and so kind to educate us!!!! Truly grateful I could watch. Thank you both so much!
Great video with Pat! Thank you for sharing with us Donna Rea 💕 I am definitely watching this again 😊 Love your new hair style, it looks wonderful on you! Thank you for being a breath of sunshine to us and sharing your faith in God 💕
Thank you Donna Rae for another wonderful video. Congratulations on #10. Please, please, please have Pat back. She is a wealth of knowledge and l too could listen to her all day. God bless, Pam.
This was a perfect Sunday night watch! Two of my favorites together and discussion of my love ... Samplers. Pat's knowledge is astounding and how lucky we were to have her share her knowledge here with us. Loved seeing her collection up close, what a treat to see. This was a most wonderful 10th episode sweet Donna Rae! You are a delight in every way, thank you for bringing sweetness and love of needlework to us all.
Donna Wynn ... so grateful for your kind comment!!! We are so blessed to call Pat friend, and to be close enough to soak up her wisdom often! Love you!!!
Donna Rae, thank you for haveing Pat speak on needlework. Nothing gets my blood stirring as listening to Pat discussing samplers. She is such a quiet unassuming person until she gets to know you or even better...get her started on history! Thank you!
Please reproduce your beautiful red sampler! I would stitch it in a heartbeat! Loved the sampler history - there is a sampler pattern out there for everyone. Education is the key. The alphabets my mom stitched drove me nuts as a child - why was my adult mother stitching the ABC's all the time? To me it was the equivalent of my mom walking around singing the ABC song -lol. Then I learned the history and began to see the samplers with different (older ) eyes, I began to appreciate both reproductions and adaptations. Thank you for doing your part to bring the fascinating history of samplers to light. xx Michele
This was such a treat! Donna Rae, you are always such a delight to watch and I can always listen to Pat for hours and hours! She is such a wonderful resource and reminds us that the history behind our wonderful hobby has so much weight to it and makes it all the more worthwhile to work on. Great video!!
The most beautiful surprise of today, was this video. Pat Ryan, is one of the people who has been most supportive for Twin Peak Primitives since the very first day. We are so grateful toher. It was also a privilege to watch and listen to her and you. Donna, thanks very much for this amazing video. Obviously, we will watch it, over and over again.
For some reason these samplers make me so emotional...perhaps their beauty or the young age at which many of them were stitched. My hope is to fill my home someday with samplers of my own stitching...but I need to get cracking! I only know you here on flosstube...and I follow you on IG...and I can just tell what a kind generous soul you possess. Thank you for bringing not only your own talents to us but also for such informative and interesting information. Have a blessed day.
Thank you for bringing Ms. Pat to us with her wealth of knowledge - I loved it. I love history and new to samplers so I enjoyed it immensely! Thank you!
Thank you for the great information. I have been away from cross stitch for 20 years while raising my children. They are 25,18 and 17. I started watching flosstube, everything has changed. I have ordered a few charts and I hope it will be like riding a bicycle. I enjoyed your #10, looking forward to more. May God bless you.
Jane Freer ... I, too, was away from stitching for several years, and coming back to stitching was kinda like riding a bicycle, but there were so many new floss, fabric, and designer choices when I returned a few years ago! Isn't FlossTube wonderful?! Thanks so much!
Donna Rae, some flosstube personalities I watch because they are entertaining, some I watch because they produce beautiful things/artful final finishing.... YOU I watch because you enrich, you teach and you are all the above! Well done!
This was just an amazing amount of fabulous information and lovely to look at samplers. As an elementary teacher it just amazes me to see what these girls did!
What a wonderful video! Thank you! I was fortunate to hear both Pat and Ann in the early 2000s when they taught at a retreat called The Gathering outside Kansas City. Their lecture was both informative and fascinating. Again thank you!! Your videos are so refreshing!
As my love of samplers grows, I remembered this great video you did for us. I loved it then and appreciate it even more now as I watch it again. Thank you!
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful and informative flosstube tonight. Loved learning so many things I didn’t know about samplers. Great job! Also, love your shirt, really love birds. Happy stitching, your birthday sampler will be lovely. What a wonderful gift Pat gave you with that red sampler.
Congratulations on your 10th episode and thank you for this special chat with Pat. It’s definitely one I’ll be viewing more then once and look forward to more little “mini” seminars with you both. The knowledge Pat shares so willingly is a gift to sampler lovers.
A big thank you to both you and Pat for doing this video and sharing so much about antique samplers -- I learned a lot today. Love your new haircut Donna Rae -- you look beautiful! Happy stitching!
I learned so much watching Pat! She is so very knowledgeable and really made me love Samplers even more. I went on Amazon and bought her book so I could read more about things she touched on. Thank you for sharing your wonderful channel with her. I look forward to your next video!
First of all I want to thank Pat Carson for sharing her infinite knowledge of samplers that only makes me love 💘them even more!! I also thank you Donna for being in the right place at the right time to meet these knowledgeable people. You are a Flosstube gem!! I have one question for Pat...does she know of any Afro-Americans that stitched samplers?? Until #11...HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY!!
Karen Davis-Macon ... thanks so much! Just a small correction Pat’s last name is Ryan, and yes, I’m so thankful that she came into my life!!! I’ll let Pat answer your question... it’s an interesting one!!! 😊
Yes, although technically teaching a black child to stitch her alphabet was breaking the law. Several do exist. We have one Melissa Smith from Norfolk, VA. Who was mixed. You can call Dyeing to Stitch or Facebook Ann at Dyeing to Stitch to order the chart.
Hi absolutely loved this video, so many pieces of information from Pat which I did not know before, very informative. Look forward with interest to more chats between you both. Thank you
Thank you Donna Rae for this very interesting video. Pat is very knowledgeable regarding antique samplers and she is an awesome lady! Love your haircut!

Thank you so much for this video. Pat Ryan’s knowledge of history and sampler history is just wonderful. Please bring her back for a part 2 👍🏻😊. I never really thought about the history behind a sampler until I listened to a podcast from Kitten Stitcher. Since then I have been very intrigued about the history of samplers and the young women/men that stitched them and why they stitched them. So fun!
Heather ... thanks for the visit and the comment! Pat is an amazing woman and I'm so happy you enjoyed our conversation! I'm hopeful that Pat will return at some point in the future to share more!
Donna Rae, you & Pat are both Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your lives & knowledge with us. Hoping to be able to meet you both in the future but for now, I enjoy being your Flosstube friend.

I was lucky enough to take a class from Pat at Shepherd’s Bush Retreat a few years ago. She makes learning about samplers interesting. I hope you have her back again as many times as possible. She has a wealth of information to share. Thank you for having her.
I just found your floss tube and have learned how to press linen from an earlier video and now all about samplers. Thank you for sharing all your blessings with me. I live a couple of hours from you in Richmond.
