Love your camping stories! We do a lot of camping, so we have a few stories! About 1970, my sister-in-law offered to watch our 3 little ones so we could have a nice weekend together. Hubby is a fisherman, so we decided to take the boat (nothing fancy) to a dam on the Columbia River. The boat had a canvas top and the seats made into beds. Had caught a few fish and they were safely on a long stringer, behind the boat in the very cold water. Settled into our sleeping bags, had our flashlight upright on the floor. Were talking, and this GIANT bug landed on the canvas above us. It was huge!! Hubby slapped his hand at it several times, and it would only move a tiny bit. He was going to go out to check it out and while reaching for the flashlight he saw a tiny little fly on the lens of the flashlight. Not such a large bug magnified into a huge kritter. After laughing ourselves to sleep we woke up the next morning to something splashing in the water. Did we have company? Nope, it was our fish trying to get to some deeper water. They had let water from the dam overnight and we were high and dry on the bank! We did manage to get the boat back into the water and needless to say went back to the dock, loaded up, and headed home.
That is one of many camping stories. Always waiting for your next video! I cross stitch mostly smalls but love seeing all your projects. Take care
Oh my goodness, what a great story! Thank you so much for sharing it with me!
"My last flosstube confession . . ." Love it!
I love your campfire stories! Flosstube please Any stories of a Bigfoot? Love your WIPS and videos too.
Loved your WIPS,and stitching projects,great camping stories,have a good week Thankyou for sharing 🇳🇿❤️🪡
Thank you! You too!
Your camping story reminded me of the first fall we lived in our house, that was the fall of "the granddaddy long legs". The outside of our house seemed to attract them that fall. You couldn't go out the door without at least one spider dropping on you. I can still remember the feel of having them drop on my head when going out the door. Such a creepy feeling.
Another fun episode Chris. Retirement is looking so good on you. I loved your conservative weather terminology! I’m totally using it!
Thanks so much! Glad to help with the terminology ;)
Love your finish and your progress on your wips. I am terrified of spiders. I would not have stayed there for one more second after discovering them. Happy stitching!
Thank you so much!
I always feel like I’m such a slow stitcher. Thanks for sharing what you do because I pretty much stitch the way you do. I stitch in hand on small pieces but on larger pieces or soft fabric I use the Nurge hoops. I’ve tried so many and the Nurge is the best by far. I am a stabber when I stitch and I probably stitch a little over two hours a day. I am retired so I could fit in more stitching. Anyway, I pretty much do what you do so I feel better about my stitching. I love your Lila’s Studio Summer Quaker. It is gorgeous and the fabric is beautiful. Your daddy long legs story creeped me out. Yuck!!! Have a wonderful rest of your summer. I hope you get to go out in your camper a few more times.
When our family went on vacations back in the mid 60's, my older sister and I were the map readers for Dad. We were in charge of the AAA triptik and could choose the campground for the evening. One of our "must haves" was flush toilets. Dad never wanted to be more than 5 miles off our route for the night. One evening, we found a campsite fulfilling both pre requisites. When we got there, we were the only campers - and when we went to check out the toilet situation, we discovered an abandoned cement block bldg with the toilets, which we wouldn't use because of all the spider webs and crawly creatures inside. That may have been the last time we girls got to choose the camp spot.
Love to see your stitching projects, especially the Quaker sampler.
LOL, you just never know about those toilet buildings!
Chris I do believe that doing "fast stitching" as viewers call it is bad by how well you interpret or study your pattern...just throwing in my two cents!! Your videos are ALWAYS GREAT!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2023
Love Summer Quaker.
Nice haul.
Eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww to the spiders, I would've tor out of there so fsst!
I love Merlin,I downloaded it a few months ago.
Chickadees are my favorite bird, I love to listen to their chatter.
I never knew there were so many different kinds.
Happy belated Birthday!
Marilyn
Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting. Happy stitching and birding!
I would have freaked with a daddy long leg on my face! I think it’s wonderful the memories you have ♥️♥️ your AtHome is looking gorgeous 😮😊
I know I would have too. Thank you so much!
Great visit Chris👏👏👏. I was stitching Summer Quaker while watching🤣. We would have been packing, ooops don’t know how the tent caught on fire😵💫, up and going home as soon as I saw the SPIDERS🤯. Nope, nope, nope. Have a great August and happy stitching 🪡
Hi Chris, I love your Summer Quaker, as well as hive rules! I have been camping with a group of trail riders for many years and we rotate from state to state for our fall trailrides. Last year we were in Salem Missouri riding the trails and we stopped for a potty break. There are women and men and the guys always tease us and say to go way off the trail to go because they will be looking if we don't... (so juvenile lol) but anyway we probably walked 60 feet or so away to squat down and do our business. I sensed something rustling underneath my body under the leaves and it was a Copperhead snake!! YIKES!!! I never pulled my pants up so fast in my life!!! I think he was ticked that I interrupted his peace and serenity...Lesson learned, stay on the trail and go and save yourself! 🤣🙄😉
I can't even imagine that!!!!! I would never go in the woods again, lol
I am right there with you on the spiders. They creep me out!! We had a copperhead in our garage once. We found it because it touch me!!! I think I broke some things getting away from it…lol
holy moly, I think I would have passed out!!!!
I had no idea Daddy Longlegs were poisonous!! My grandparents’ lake house always had them! They are creepy.
Of course I had to get your corner gauge to match my needle minder! I’ve been looking for just the right one!!
Thank you so much!
If you ever come to Wisconsin to camp. We have a site at Harbor Village Campground in Door County. I would love to meet up and stitch together. Happy camping, Jennifer
That would be wonderful - I'll definitely keep that in mind!
I have a decent start on A Sampler for All Seasons, but I am saving Hope Song for a future start. I have a Carolina Chickadee coming to my feeder regularly, as well as a Tufted Titmouse.
It's been 40 years since my last confession! Yes I always say that when flosstubers are saying it's been two weeks since my last... You have gotten more done stitching while you were working then I have since retiring 6 years ago and I stitch everyday. I mostly stitch in hand too. Camping for me involves a comfortable bed and running water. Question? Do you tow a separate vehicle when RVing?
LOL, well, that's why we have the RV - comfy bed, all my stuff and my own bathroom. We do not tow but we can. So far, it's easy enough to pull in the slides, pop up the feet and go.
I just pre-ordered the Seasons of the Heart yesterday! I have waited since last August for the pattern! You have got a nice start on the patten! Looks beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the heads up about the spider campground!! I WON’T BE GOING!!!
LOL, well I don't blame you - I won't go back!
Glad you’re feeling better 🤗
Thank you!!
Hi Chris! Love the camping stories and this one made me laugh and flinch at the same time. Plus, isn’t it funny that we call them Daddy Long Legs!! Thinking of you as I head back to school. How does it feel for summer to never end? Happy Crafting! -Carolyn
Thank you! I'm so happy to be able to not head back!
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
You too!
Got my needle minders today, love them. They are so lightweight.
Glad you like them - thank you so much!
Been rainy in Michigan too
It is a rainy day here in NE Ohio today too! Belated Happy Birthday to you! Your Hive Rules is very pretty! I have heard so much about Vicky Clayton silks, and will love to try them someday! Your Summer Quaker WIP is so pretty!!! Your campfire stories are so much fun! I hate spiders, and having a daddy long legs over my face would be the end of camping for me! I hate spiders!! Enjoy the rest of the summer, and I’ll be looking forward to seeing you soon!
Thank you so much, Carol! You too!
I laughed out loud when you said it had been two weeks since your last FlossTube confession! I am so often reminded of confession when flosstubers start their new episode! Love your Summer Quaker. I started it on 8/1 as well and love it!
LOL, thank you - I can't help it, Catholic School memories ;)
LOL I always think the same thing!!!!
Well done my friend. I need to order me some minders. Hugs!❤
Thank you and you never know what can arrive in the mail someday ;)
@@TheCampingStitcher you better not ☺️
Your progress on Summer Quaker is amazing! I started on the first and spent 5 days on it, and I barely got the corner worked on. We'll both get there though. I love your campfire stories, but no thank you on that many spiders. Ew!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Looking forward to our RV adventures to start. We leave Seattle on 9/30 for ~ 10 weeks
Safe and Happy Travels!
Zoom gatherings are fun, but a stitching session of stitch & watch stitching ... that sounds too weird to me & probably not very productive. Spiders, snake ... I would have packed up & left! LOL We still Tent Camp.
Love your videos!!!!
Thank you!!
I know where that airport is. It is one of my favorite places for breakfast or lunch!!
It's one of my favorites!!
Enjoy the rest of your summer. Love all your WHIP. 😊
So good to see you!! I love seeing your stitching! Some day maybe you could give us a tour of your walls. Nancy did a beautiful job on your camping project bag. Love it! Happy stitching!!❤
Thank you - I'll have to clean up a bit first ;)
Enjoyed watching, my first time watching you. It's funny hearing about the daddy long legs. We went camping years ago in Texas and in the outhouse we had used at night never saw anything in the night but in the morning went in and it was full of daddy longs legs all over the walls so the walls actually looked like they were moving. Needless to say that was the last trip I went to the outhouse. Also happy belated birthday. I was very interested in the project tags that you got for your birthday from Nancy ( that all the information of the project on the back), do you know where they came from? Enjoy your break and we'll see you in September.
Thank you so much for watching! I know I would have run miles from that outhouse! I don't know where they are from, but I totally intend on asking her ;)
Love your camping stories. I have some good camping stories too! Finish your summer strong. See you in August. Be safe! Oh, have you watch Sarha The North Wood Stitcher she lives in Maine, she has a different take on finishes and a great sense of humor.
Thanks for watching. Yes I've watched some of her flosstubes.
Oh no!!! Daddy long legs on his face, I would have gone home immediately!!
Enjoyed the video today!!
Mrs. Campbell is giving me a run for my money on 46 count. First time 46. I had to floss out one side of the border this morning. Frog, frog, go away come again NEVER! Great uTube. I really like your and Nancy’s zoom meeting. Thank you (and Nancy)
So sorry she's giving you a hard time. Hopefully, she'll cooperate from here on out. Glad you could join us - we do have a good time!
Awesome video Chris! Your start on Summer Quaker is stunning!! Can’t imagine why you don’t like that campground 😬🕷️🐍
Thank you! LOL, I have NEVER gone back, but he has, brave man.
Hi Chris! Happy Belated Birthday!!!!! Hope you made it through the beginning of the school year without a tear!!!! I am a retired special needs teacher and still miss part of it, a very small part! I am going to start "At Home" soon. I have a fat quarter of 36 count Vintage Country Mocha. i believe it will be okay with a 2" margin. Is that what you are using?
Thank you! No tears at all since I retired in June! And yes, I’m using a fat qtr with a 2 inch margin and it seems just fine. Stitch away!!
Camping spider story was great, poor Bob, I think I would have had to leave that camp ground, eek 🕷🕸. Just wondering how you came up with the name of your Etsy Shop? Love the new corner gauge. Happy stitching 💚
Thank you! The name comes from the name of the mountain we live on, but people think one of us is named "scott" all the time ;)
@@TheCampingStitcher That's really neat. I had a son named Scott so I'm always curious how the name gets used 💚🪡
Great update Chris. Enjoy the rest of your summer ☀️
Thank you Amanda! I hope you are having a good summer, too!
Hi Chris. I love your stitchy pieces. I think I want to do the summer Quaker. Super pretty! Question tho, have you finished the three crabs on top? I wonder if one of them are missing it’s legs, if they are there I’m sorry I missed it. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you! Good eye!
❤❤❤

I’m loving that Summer Quaker , I’ve been on the fence, but I think I’m just going to have to take the plunge! What count is your fabric? 💕🇨🇦
I'm using 36 ct for mine. I really do love that stitch!
I do NOT like spiders either! Love your camping stories. 💚
Thanks for watching! I'm so glad you do!
Looking to use vicky clayton silks for Christmas Garden by blackbird. Im very excited to try them. Do you use the whole thread off the spool or split to 2 like dmc? Thanks!
I take them off the spool and put them on floss drops like all my other floss. When I'm done, I store them on my floss tree on rings.
Have you ever camped when mayflies are hatching? So yucky!
No, haven't done that!
