I'm a 70 year old cross stitcher and quilter, and I can relate to not having any non virtual friends who have the same passions as I do. You are adorable, I can't wait for your next floss tube! Congratulations on a great #1!
I understand as well! I'm trying to get one of my daughters stitching but none of my friends are interested at all! So yes, flosstube is like hanging out with friends with the same passion.
I'm 68 and have 1 stitchy friend about 40 miles away. I was thinking about putting a sign in the YMCA or the library to see if I couldn't find some other cross stitchers nearby.
Hello! You had me at the stitching quip; "There are a few mistakes I just threw in for free". I'm 75, no friends, stuck on a mountain in the wilds of north Idaho, watch many videos, and now I'm also one of your subscribers. Love your quilt top, love the cross-stitch pieces, and especially your enthusiasm.
Hi! Thank you for watching and for subscribing! A mountain in the wilds of Idaho sounds lovely. It’s so plan here in North Texas. This community is amazing and helps us to find friends everywhere 💕
I am so glad that Saltbox Stitcher shouted you out. I just had to look you up and I’m so glad I did. You did an awesome job on your first flosstube. I love the sampler you just completed. It is gorgeous ❤️. The quilt behind you is beautiful. I can’t believe all that you have going on but keep it up because I can’t wait to see Flosstube #2.
Hi from Colorado! So glad your video popped up for me! Love the quilt top behind you! Your Christmas Garden is so beautiful, I just Love that pattern but am intimidated by it. You have a big heart and alot of talent....let it shine!
Hi Yvonne! No need to be intimidated by Christmas Garden! It’s only a few colors and no over one or specialty stitches. Thank you for the kind words 🥰❤️
I’m here because Brenda gave you a shout out this morning and I’m so glad she did. I, too, am a quilter and cross stitcher. I learned cross stitch in the 80’s, but drifted away in the early 2000’s. Discovered quilting. Now I’m back and have been amazed at all the new floss, fabric, patterns. I fell into the rabbit hole and love it! I think there needs to be a virtual group for us young 70 year olds. I, too, have no in person friends that do what I do. I’m in the heat of Oklahoma 😁. Welcome, Katie, you are so fun to watch and your projects are beautiful!
Hi Sandy, thank you for watching and for the warm welcome! I’m so grateful for Brenda! I know all about that rabbit hole 😂. My cousin from Oklahoma just stayed the weekend with me. I think she was happy to leave Texas and go back to Oklahoma 😂❤
I hope you continue to do the videos! I can relate to you in so many ways….I do all the things too so it’s nice to “meet” people like me. I don’t know what I did “socially” before RUclips! I just got Covid and thanked God every day for Flosstube as it made me feel less isolated from the world 😢 I’m a boy mom too and I always am hoping my future granddaughters like to craft. I don’t have anyone in my circle who crafts…no one….not even one hobby like any of mine. I think you did great and hope to see you again❤
Congratulations on a great first video. I am so excited to meet someone that does all the things, I have so many hobbies but I can't just pick one. Looking forward to your next video!
A child with autism (check) Took up quilting and have no quilting friends (check) then needed another distraction that was slightly cheaper than quilting so took up cross stitch (check). Just have virtual friends who have taught me so much (check). You are not alone. thanks for a beautiful video.
I just found your floss tube on my feed, and I’m so happy I did! My son is also 22 & is autistic (level 3). I cross stitch, crochet, knit and I’m also learning to quilt. We have quite a bit in common, with the squishy emotions too! I will be watching your channel until I’m current with you. 😊
Welcome! I'm so excited to watch your flosstube journey! Something to consider, you are 100% taking the quilter's advise to teaching others... you just have a different venue (IG and YT)!!! You go, lady! Proud of you!
Such a lovely surprise! Congratulations on your first flosstube! Your sampler is beautiful. I enjoyed listening to you and seeing your projects. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.
We have the same hobbies!! I started with cross stitch about 33 years ago and have slowly picked up quilting and have recently started working with wool. Loved your floss tube. Keep it up.
As a fellow quilter and cross-stitcher, I so enjoyed your first video. I'm thankful to Shellie for giving you a shout-out on Instagram. The quilt behind you speaks to me in it's color and design. Please share more. Way to go!
The more I watched the more I wished you were my neighbor. Then you mentioned Texas which is where I live. Love all that you shared! I have all the same types of needlework in my home begging for my time.
Watched your 2 floss tubes and loved them. You stitch a lot of things I also enjoy. I have no stitch friends that live in my small town, so I watch a lot of floss tube while I am stitching. Will definitely keep watching you. 😊
Love your first floss tube. Stitching, quilting, EPP and wool appliqué, it was like you were going through my sewing room. Can’t wait to see what you show next. 😊
Great Floss Tube. I can sooo relate to pause-shop, pause-shop, I thought I was the only one doing this all-the-time !!! OMG. Love the things you are working on - and the quilt in the background. I have done several quilt tops, but have not finished them. I am thinking about sending them out to get done, but then I think maybe I'll get a long arm and teach myself, and then I start all over again. LOL. 2 quilt tops finished, another one has all the squares made, and I did complete a lap quilt which I love.... and my cats love. I hope you keep on with your channel. I really enjoyed it !
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! I’d love to have a long arm but I don’t have the room. I’ve done all my quilting on my sewing machine. It’s not the easiest but it’s rewarding doing the entire process myself. I think I’m going to try hand quilting. Cats and quilts go together like peas and carrots 😂❤
Hello! Great first flosstube! You are a natural in front of the camera! welcome to this wonderful community!! Your stitching is beautiful! Hope to see more from you soon!
Great 1st video. Thanks for taking your time. I look forward to watching more and seeing what you are stitching. You’re stitching, wool work & quilting look great!
I will definitely watch your next floss tube! I also do both quilting and cross stitch. It is wonderful to get to know others who enjoy these same hobbies. Hope to see you soon.
Your video on cross stitch great. Keep up the good work. I’m quilter and many cross stitch patterns. I’ve been stitching and have many hobbies so great to watch and it’s a very relaxing hobby.
Love your video! i am 63 and have been quilting for about 10 years now and just got into cross stitching this year. Your video was so wonderful to watch. I have 4 boys ranging from 31-38. I found you from a shout out from Olivia, from Pumpkin hollow quilts, who I have been watching for a few years now. Look forward to more videos.
Welcome, Katie. Lovely first video. Beautiful projects and stitching. Christmas Garden is one of my favorite finishes. I look forward to many more videos from you. You are quite simply, charming!
Welcome to flosstube. Love to quilt and cross stitch as well. Some many beautiful things to make, so little time😂. Best of luck in your RUclips journey.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I, too quilt and cross stitch. I am fortunate to have a group of quilters, but really just cross stich by myself because "counting is hard!!" I am really looking forward to the next video, which is coming up in a few seconds! God Bless,
Great first video. Loved your Okinawa tshirt. I was stationed there long long ago. Your stitching is beautiful! I’m working on the basket quilt as well. Susan Ache is simply amazing.
You did great for your first video. I’m a cross stitcher and a quilter. My first love is quilting and like you I don’t have any stitchy or quilting friends. It’s hard most people don’t understand the joy we find in what we do. I tell my hubby my hobbies are cheaper than therapy. Lol.
Thank you for watching my video! I love to hear that you do both. I’m glad we have this community that understands the passion. Lol, my husband gets that too 😂❤
Katie, I’m a new subscriber and I’m so glad Kristy, Daisy Kay’s Primitives mentioned you. Love your sweetness and your squishy feelings. I totally get it! Even if you get some negative comments, just click remove and reread all the comments that make you happy.
Hi Bonnie! Thank you for watching and subscribing! I’ve watched you for a long time and you have been a great inspiration to me. I’m so happy you are back! ♥️
@@Sewtattered I’m so glad to know you’ve been part of my sweet stitching family. How cool! I’ve been getting ready for a 3 week stay at our cabin before we sell it and I’m only bringing quilt projects to work on. I’m trying to get lots of UFOs finished and the concentrated time without my cross stitch will help. Cross stitch is so addictive!
I loved watching your floss tube. I cross stitch, quilt, knit and crochet. I watched RUclips and learned how to quilt in 2020. I have no crafting friends. My floss tube is my friends. I stitch and watch. Look forward to more videos
I am 76years old and live in a rural area. I don't have people around that do things I like to do. My local quilt shop closed so I have to drive a bit to go to a shop. I love quilting,cross stitch, knitting, sewing , machine embroidery, and more. I live for RUclips...to mis with like crafters and artists. Keep up the good work.
Thank goodness for this community so we can have friends that otherwise we wouldn’t know. I love that you do it all! Thank you for following me on this journey ❤
I found your Flosstube today, and I am so glad to meet you. I too learned to cross stitch through Flosstube and am very thankful to those of you that share. You are one of them. Welcome!
I totally understand not having in person friends who stitch. None of mine stitch or quilt either. Loved your first video, so now I have another Flosstube friend! ❤
Katie I just loved your video! Your stitching is gorgeous and makes me want to pull out my more grown up WIPS and give them some love. I too have squishy feelings and getting a channel started is scary. You are doing fantastic girl!
Great 1st video. That quilt is fantastic -- thank you for sharing with us! 😍😍😍 Oh my stars... your sampler finish is so pretty. I missed this release I guess. WOW -- congratulations! Love your Christmas Garden WIP too! And oh my, I love hexies. I love that you have no rules -- you be you! Stitch and sew all of the things!
FlossTube suggested you to me and boy am I glad it did! Totally know what you mean about not having stitching/ quilting friends. Oh and pause ...shop...pause....shop I think we all can relate. Great job I'm looking forward to many more!
I have enjoyed your first floss tube. I totally understand how you feel, I don’t have anyone around me that cross stitches either. I am constantly told “How can you do that, it would drive me crazy.” I have loads of hobbies and do not understand people that don’t. What do the do for fun???….lol Keep up floss tubing, I have been cross stitching for over 45 years since my mom taught me when I was very young.
Thank you, Melinda! It is funny when you think about it. Making hundreds and hundreds of little x’s and all that counting, and then cutting beautiful fabric into tiny pieces just to sew it all back together 😂. It’s just another form of art ❤
You are so sweet and you look so young to have 2 young men of that age. I applaud your courage to just jump in and share! I say thank you and well done. I’ll be waiting for your next one❣️Diana
You’ll be a Floss Tube “star” in no time. Congratulations on a spectacular first Floss Tube I will be looking forward to many more. Your stitching is beautiful and the quilt hanging behind you is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
First of all - you’re adorable and very amazing!! I’m a quilter, too, and I started cross stitching last year (age 69) and I love it!! I’m here bc Carol Saltbox Stitcher mentioned you. You have one more friend!! I have Christmas Garden and need to start that one! You stitch beautifully! Keep going - amazing - really!! ❤
Hello! I am in the same boat as you. No one to stitch with. I taught myself how to quilt when I was in my teens- no RUclips then. Cross stitched around the same time, but focused on quilting for many years. Returned to cross stitch about three years ago. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Loved your floss tube. I don't have anyone near me that does counted cross stitch. I do have several friends that quilt. We meet on Weds and hand quilt taking turns doing each other's quilts. I don't have any shops near me. I imagine it would be at least a 3 hr drive to a LNS. 50+ miles one way to Hobby Lobby so I usually order on line.
Thank you for watching my video! What a wonderful group to be apart of. I don’t have a quilt shop close to me that sells fabric I like so I have to order online. Nothing better though than walking around a well decorated quilt shop, petting all the beautiful fabrics.
So nice to meet you via floss-tube! U touched my heart with the "M" on your sampler, that was an awesome idea. I choked up on that. I had a Maddy. As far as having friends share the cross stitch love, I often wish my best friend enjoyed this too! It is my joy and therapy. Keep up the wonderful videos! I will find you on IG too! 😊 🌺
Hi Lesa! Thank you for the sweet comment. I’m sorry for your loss of Maddy. They are so special. I tried to get my bf to stitch. She bought the things but never started 😂.
@@Sewtattered Yes, our pets are very special and forever missed ~ a great way to incorporate and memorialize them. I just love stitching and fun to have someone enjoy it along with you. My ex - his eyes would glaze over when I talked about it. Lol. It is a great hobby and addiction! 😅 Happy Fall! 🤗
Loved it! Keep going! I also do all the things. I tell everyone not to let me knit or crochet as I don’t need to collect anymore fibre!!! I am going to have to try the pause…shop,….pause…. shop though. My husband won’t thank you for that! Sandi
Thank you for watching! I know what you mean! I went to a shop that had fabric on one side of the store and gorgeous yarn on the other and I could see the fear in my husband’s face! Our poor husbands! 😂
Great video! I sure can relate to not having anyone to talk about our craft, Love watching floss tube, I too quilt & stitch. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Katie! I’m a 72 year old Jersey girl living in north Georgia (USA) and I don’t have any in person stitching or quilting friends. I started stitching (self taught) in the late 70’s, and got the quilting bug in the early 2000’s. Like you I love reproduction fabrics - Jo Morton, Kim Dehiel,Pam Buda, Kansas Troubles, etc. Came back to stitching in 2018 and was joyously overwhelmed with all the fantastic changes, especially flosstube. Olivia, Pumpkin Hollow Quilts, mentioned you in her video and I’m so glad she did. Great first video, I subscribed immediately! Looking forward to spending time with you on flosstube.
Thank you for subscribing to my channel! I love that you do both cross stitch and quilting. I bet you have some incredible treasures through all those years of making. Olivia is so sweet for mentioning me. I’m glad that you are going to be on this journey with me ❤️
I retired from teaching and just like you I’m learning by watching you tube . I love quilting, knitting, cross stitching . Good luck on your new floss tube adventure ❤
Olivia told me about your FT. You did great! Can't wait for the next one! I also love Civil War reproduction fabric. I have only made a few quilts so far but I love it. I just need to keep at it as I lack confidence. I love to cross stitch and am just finishing Jenny Bean for the Parlor...the whole series of eight on one piece of 36 count wren. It is a beauty!
Thank you for checking out my channel! I adore Olivia. I love that you also love reproduction fabric. I understand the lack of confidence. My first ten or more quilts are embarrassing but they are apart of my progress. I had to look up the Jenny Bean series. That’s beautiful and quite a project! ❤
Great first flosstube! You would never know it was your first one! I love your comment “squishy emotional” that is so me! Can’t wait to see more of your video’s.
I’m so glad you’re doing flosstube, I’m going to start here and binge to catch up. I don’t have any friends who stitch either, I love them all, my sis included, but there isn’t one crafty bone in any of their bodies! I bought and kitted up the Golden Bird Sampler because I saw your post on IG and thought it was so pretty, so thank you xx
Such a relaxing first video, great job and please come back. I, too, love quilting (too many quilts!), wool applique, hand embroidery and a return to cross stitch big time. This activity has changed so much through the years and it is frustrating not to have someone who loves it as much as I do....thus Flosstube is my go to for like friends....hope to see you soon......
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! That’s exactly how I feel. I didn’t expect this community to be so welcoming and kind! It’s like we are all old friends ❤
Oh my stars ✨ I loved your video and “you” I am a fellow quilter and I am dipping my toes in X-stitch, I am also a scrapbooker - so glad I found your channel 🤗
Very nice to meet you Katie...like you my friends don't quilt or cross stitch and it is so much fun to watch you...our yougest son is autistic and it has been a journey with him...he is doing better since he has his teenage years behind him...wishing you the best...Olivia se t me over...happy stitching ❤❤
Hi Loretta! Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for sharing a part of your story. Those young years are tough! I worked for a few years in a class for kids with autism and I would tell the parents that one day something just clicks and things will become easier for your child and you. I hope I can become your friend even though we aren’t neighbors 🥰❤️
What a delightful video. You have a new friend in me. I also love to quilt and cross stitch. I try to knit but I become confused where I am on a pattern. I also love to crochet. I have made many afghans and gifted them to people. I made one for my mom every Christmas. I guess she knew what was coming as a gift. Looking forward to more videos. Again excellent job.
You do all the things I do. I love it. EPP wool appliqué quilt and cross stitch. I learned quilting from my granny. At eight I had to spend the summer with her and she taught me hand piecing and hand quilting we did a double wedding ring quilt. So yeah, I get starting with the hardest thing as a beginner I didn’t know so she said I could do it. OK let’s do that I still have it it’s beautiful I’m so glad you decided to do a floss tube and your first or a great job I will subscribe like do all the things. Have a great day.
Hi Diana! I love that you learned from your granny! Makes it even more special. Double wedding ring intimidates me even today 😂. Thank you for subscribing and being on this journey with me!
Hi Katie! Welcome to the community! Just found your video in my recommendations. Loved your first video! You did great! I giggled when you talked about your squishy feelings! I’m right there with ya! Loved your sampler! Gorgeous! Your quilt is gorgeous also! Will be watching the rest of your videos! Glad you took the leap!
Hi Katie. I loved watching your first video. You and i have a lot in common. I have been married for 22 years. I also have 2 boys. My oldest is 23 and special needs. I also have a 17 year old. I love cross stitching . I would love to try quilting one day. Welcome to the flosstube. Please keep the videos coming. Happy stitching and quilting.
Hi Tammy! Thank you for watching my first video. We do have a lot in common. I have found several stitchers through here that have similar stories. It’s good to know we are connected through more than just our love of the hobby. 🥰♥️
Thanks so much for you video! Can’t wait to see more of your work! I love Olivia at Pumpkin Holllow Quilts too - she’s probably my number 1 enabler! 😂😂😂
Your sampler is beautiful! Great job on your first video! On to your second! Don’t have any stitch friends either!! Would be so nice to stitch and share with someone!
Loved your first flosstube! You’re adorable and funny! Olivia gave you a shoutout and that’s why I’m here, she said we’d love you and she was spot on! The samplers are beautiful! I also don’t have friends or family that cross stitch and so I love flosstube. I live in Florida but have a summer home in the mountains of NC and that’s where I am now. Why not do a SAL, that would be fun! Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you for watching and for such a sweet comment! Olivia is the best! I bet it’s beautiful up in the mountains in the summer. A SAL would be fun! I’m going to think on that ❤
Welcome to Flosstube!! You did such a great job! I love your taste in quilt fabrics and can't wait to see more of your quilts (same with your stitching)! The quilt top behind you is gorgeous!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching my video! I’ve been watching you and following you for a long time and I love seeing all the beautiful things you work on!
Hi Katie new subscriber hear thx to flossbossincousins!👍❤️ I heard your name on someone else’s flosstube but I watch so many I can’t recall who’s it was lol. Love all your work! I’m slowly falling for so many older sampler works but I start so many things not just cross stitch that I can never seem to complete anything. Small things are a bit easier. The draw from instagram for others that do the same things has definitely got me hooked lately. I want to do all the things. I wouldn’t call myself a quilter, I’ve only done small projects and still learning but love everything fabric related. Our husbands are the best. I am a multi crafter I’d say but definitely more like Laura a serial starter and kitter. I don’t have a lot of others around me that crossstitch but recently met a couple plus those that do rug hooking so those are pretty much the crafters I see. The connections online are especially wonderful. This community is great. Look forward to seeing all you do. I’ve been on youtube just over a year myself but it’s definitely a learning curve to sit and talk to a camera alone. So many of the ones I watch are duos which seems easier and not so weird talking to yourself. 🤣 I’m sure you’ll do fine it just takes determination and the accountability in this community is wonderful. Keep at it!👍
Hi I just seen your floss tube and I love your work. I’ve only been stitching for a little while and I’m so in love with it. I started on 14 ct Aida and now I’m venturing into 28 ct Lugauna then hopefully move onto linen. I too would love yo quilt but for now cross stitching is good. Thanks for your inspiration and so glad you started your floss tube channel I follow several on here and learn so much watching you tube 😊
This was a great first video. I am a cross sticker since I was a child. I am in my 60s now. Lol. I am going to my first wool appliqué class this month, so I was excited to see that you do it too. Be well and happy stitching!
I'm a 70 year old cross stitcher and quilter, and I can relate to not having any non virtual friends who have the same passions as I do. You are adorable, I can't wait for your next floss tube! Congratulations on a great #1!
Thank you for watching and for the kind comment! I wish we could all be neighbors! I’m thankful for this community ❤
I understand as well! I'm trying to get one of my daughters stitching but none of my friends are interested at all! So yes, flosstube is like hanging out with friends with the same passion.
72 here..no Stitchy friends
I'm 68 and have 1 stitchy friend about 40 miles away. I was thinking about putting a sign in the YMCA or the library to see if I couldn't find some other cross stitchers nearby.
A beautiful video,by a beautifull soul So glad I found your channel ❤
Great job !! Love the quilt behind you

Great first video! I look forward to many more! Love your sampler finish and your quilt backdrop is stunning!❤️
Thank you! Also, thank you for taking the time to watch my first video! I’m working on getting organized to make a long WIP parade.
When you said your husband said “that’s your Saltbox friend” I knew exactly who he meant 😂
I hope you continue to do the videos! I can relate to you in so many ways….I do all the things too so it’s nice to “meet” people like me. I don’t know what I did “socially” before RUclips!

Thank you for watching my video and for the perspective! You’re right. Hopefully I can inspire others to start quilting 🥰
I totally get the no stitching friends and that makes it hard. I’m so glad Flosstube is around to see all the great stitching and charts 😂
Yes! Such an incredible community!
Such a lovely surprise! Congratulations on your first flosstube! Your sampler is beautiful. I enjoyed listening to you and seeing your projects. I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Thank you! I enjoy seeing your projects on IG also! I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video. 🥰
We have the same hobbies!! I started with cross stitch about 33 years ago and have slowly picked up quilting and have recently started working with wool. Loved your floss tube. Keep it up.
Thank you for watching! I love that you quilt and have started working with wool! ❤

Thank you for watching! Id love to have a stitchy neighbor! I’m north Texas, how about you?
Watched your 2 floss tubes and loved them. You stitch a lot of things I also enjoy. I have no stitch friends that live in my small town, so I watch a lot of floss tube while I am stitching. Will definitely keep watching you. 😊
Hi Karen! Thank you for watching my videos! I’m so grateful for this community as well ❤
Love your first floss tube. Stitching, quilting, EPP and wool appliqué, it was like you were going through my sewing room. Can’t wait to see what you show next. 😊
Hi Michele. I’m so glad to hear that we have the same hobbies! It makes it more fun 😊❤
Great Floss Tube. I can sooo relate to pause-shop, pause-shop, I thought I was the only one doing this all-the-time !!! OMG. Love the things you are working on - and the quilt in the background. I have done several quilt tops, but have not finished them. I am thinking about sending them out to get done, but then I think maybe I'll get a long arm and teach myself, and then I start all over again. LOL. 2 quilt tops finished, another one has all the squares made, and I did complete a lap quilt which I love.... and my cats love. I hope you keep on with your channel. I really enjoyed it !
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! I’d love to have a long arm but I don’t have the room. I’ve done all my quilting on my sewing machine. It’s not the easiest but it’s rewarding doing the entire process myself. I think I’m going to try hand quilting. Cats and quilts go together like peas and carrots 😂❤
Hello! Great first flosstube! You are a natural in front of the camera! welcome to this wonderful community!! Your stitching is beautiful! Hope to see more from you soon!
Hi Kathleen! Thank you for such a sweet comment! ❤
Great 1st video. Thanks for taking your time. I look forward to watching more and seeing what you are stitching. You’re stitching, wool work & quilting look great!
Thank you for watching my video and leaving a sweet comment! ❤
I will definitely watch your next floss tube! I also do both quilting and cross stitch. It is wonderful to get to know others who enjoy these same hobbies. Hope to see you soon.
Thank you for watching my videos! I love that you also do both ❤
Your video on cross stitch great. Keep up the good work. I’m quilter and many cross stitch patterns. I’ve been stitching and have many hobbies so great to watch and it’s a very relaxing hobby.
Hi Sharon! I love that you do all the things!
A most excellent first flosstube!! Keep them coming!
Thank you for watching! ❤
Love your video! i am 63 and have been quilting for about 10 years now and just got into cross stitching this year. Your video was so wonderful to watch. I have 4 boys ranging from 31-38. I found you from a shout out from Olivia, from Pumpkin hollow quilts, who I have been watching for a few years now. Look forward to more videos.
Thank you for watching! Olivia is amazing. 4 boys, how fun! I’m happy to hear you’re a quilter also ❤
Your projects are beautiful. I am a quilter and do cross stitch in the evenings when we watch tv. I enjoyed your video.
Thank you for watching! I love to hear that you do both! ❤
Welcome!!! Love your quilt and projects.. looking forward to follow your journey.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for following me!
Great Job! Love that you are doing EPP, quilting and cross stitch...love it all. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work!
Thank you, Susan! ❤
Welcome, Katie. Lovely first video. Beautiful projects and stitching. Christmas Garden is one of my favorite finishes. I look forward to many more videos from you. You are quite simply, charming!
Thank you, Sarah! I really enjoy watching your videos. You are so kind, talented and inspirational! 🥰
@@Sewtattered thank you, Katie.
Welcome to flosstube. Love to quilt and cross stitch as well. Some many beautiful things to make, so little time😂. Best of luck in your RUclips journey.
Thank you for watching! I agree about too little time! I have to squeeze it all in 😂❤
You did a wonderful job on your first flosstube! Love your sampler finish and the story behind the initial. Looking forward to your next one.
Thank you, Shirley!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I, too quilt and cross stitch. I am fortunate to have a group of quilters, but really just cross stich by myself because "counting is hard!!" I am really looking forward to the next video, which is coming up in a few seconds! God Bless,
Thank you for watching and for your sweet comment! Ha, “counting is hard” Yes!! I can’t even cross stitch while on the phone.
Great first video. Loved your Okinawa tshirt. I was stationed there long long ago. Your stitching is beautiful! I’m working on the basket quilt as well. Susan Ache is simply amazing.
Hi Nancy! Thank you for watching and for your service!! My grandmother is Okinawan ❤. Susan is amazing. I want to sew everything in that book.
You did great for your first video. I’m a cross stitcher and a quilter. My first love is quilting and like you I don’t have any stitchy or quilting friends. It’s hard most people don’t understand the joy we find in what we do. I tell my hubby my hobbies are cheaper than therapy. Lol.
Thank you for watching my video! I love to hear that you do both. I’m glad we have this community that understands the passion. Lol, my husband gets that too 😂❤
Katie, I’m a new subscriber and I’m so glad Kristy, Daisy Kay’s Primitives mentioned you. Love your sweetness and your squishy feelings. I totally get it! Even if you get some negative comments, just click remove and reread all the comments that make you happy.
Hi Bonnie! Thank you for watching and subscribing! I’ve watched you for a long time and you have been a great inspiration to me. I’m so happy you are back! ♥️
@@Sewtattered I’m so glad to know you’ve been part of my sweet stitching family. How cool! I’ve been getting ready for a 3 week stay at our cabin before we sell it and I’m only bringing quilt projects to work on. I’m trying to get lots of UFOs finished and the concentrated time without my cross stitch will help. Cross stitch is so addictive!
I loved watching your floss tube. I cross stitch, quilt, knit and crochet. I watched RUclips and learned how to quilt in 2020. I have no crafting friends. My floss tube is my friends. I stitch and watch. Look forward to more videos
I can relate! I love this community. I think it wonderful that you do all the things! ❤
I am 76years old and live in a rural area. I don't have people around that do things I like to do. My local quilt shop closed so I have to drive a bit to go to a shop. I love quilting,cross stitch, knitting, sewing , machine embroidery, and more. I live for RUclips...to mis with like crafters and artists. Keep up the good work.
Thank goodness for this community so we can have friends that otherwise we wouldn’t know. I love that you do it all! Thank you for following me on this journey ❤
So enjoyed your 1st flosstube. Lovely projects. Happy stitching 🧵
Thank you! I enjoy your videos as well! ❤
I found your Flosstube today, and I am so glad to meet you. I too learned to cross stitch through Flosstube and am very thankful to those of you that share. You are one of them. Welcome!
Thank you!
I totally understand not having in person friends who stitch. None of mine stitch or quilt either. Loved your first video, so now I have another Flosstube friend! ❤
Thank you for following me on this journey! I love this sweet community! ❤
Katie I just loved your video! Your stitching is gorgeous and makes me want to pull out my more grown up WIPS and give them some love. I too have squishy feelings and getting a channel started is scary. You are doing fantastic girl!
Hi Cindy! Thank you for the sweet comment! It’s very scary but everyone has been so kind and supportive ❤
Great 1st video. That quilt is fantastic -- thank you for sharing with us! 😍😍😍 Oh my stars... your sampler finish is so pretty. I missed this release I guess. WOW -- congratulations! Love your Christmas Garden WIP too! And oh my, I love hexies. I love that you have no rules -- you be you! Stitch and sew all of the things!
Thank you, Melissa! I haven’t seen anyone stitching it. I hope more people will stitch it. Rules take the fun out of hobbies 😂❤
Welcome!!! Beautiful finish!!!! Looking forward to seeing your projects.
Thank you for watching and for the kind comment!
FlossTube suggested you to me and boy am I glad it did! Totally know what you mean about not having stitching/ quilting friends. Oh and pause ...shop...pause....shop I think we all can relate.
Great job I'm looking forward to many more!
Thank you for watching and for your sweet comment! I hope I help you shop from time to time 😂❤
Loved your video. You did a great job. Love the quilt behind you. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Thank you for watching and for the sweet comment!
Be aware there are people out there who are deliberately mean, just ignore them. Your stitching is beautiful.
Thank you, Betsy
Welcome to flosstube!!! First off, you are gorgeous 🩷 and your work is beautiful!
Thank you for watching and for the super sweet words!! I see you are a flosstuber too! I need to watch your videos over coffee and stitching 😂❤️
I have enjoyed your first floss tube. I totally understand how you feel, I don’t have anyone around me that cross stitches either. I am constantly told “How can you do that, it would drive me crazy.” I have loads of hobbies and do not understand people that don’t. What do the do for fun???….lol Keep up floss tubing, I have been cross stitching for over 45 years since my mom taught me when I was very young.
Thank you, Melinda! It is funny when you think about it. Making hundreds and hundreds of little x’s and all that counting, and then cutting beautiful fabric into tiny pieces just to sew it all back together 😂. It’s just another form of art ❤
WOW! Besides cross stitch you also piece AND WOOL appliqué?!!! Your floss-tube is officially in my top three favorites! Welcome !🎉
Oh wow!! Thank you so much!! I’m getting organized for my next video and I’ll make sure to have all the different things represented 😂❤
Welcome to Flosstube. Great start! I look forward to more.
Thank you, Sally!
You are so sweet and you look so young to have 2 young men of that age. I applaud your courage to just jump in and share! I say thank you and well done. I’ll be waiting for your next one❣️Diana
Hi Diana! Thank you for the kind words! ❤
I enjoyed watching you and hearing you talk about all the things. I want to be able to do and learn all the things you do. Happy stitching ❤❤
Thank you! We just need more hours in the day! ❤
You’ll be a Floss Tube “star” in no time. Congratulations on a spectacular first Floss Tube I will be looking forward to many more. Your stitching is beautiful and the quilt hanging behind you is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Mary! Thank you for watching and for the sweet comment! ❤
First of all - you’re adorable and very amazing!! I’m a quilter, too, and I started cross stitching last year (age 69) and I love it!! I’m here bc Carol Saltbox Stitcher mentioned you. You have one more friend!! I have Christmas Garden and need to start that one! You stitch beautifully! Keep going - amazing - really!! ❤
Thank you for saying such sweet things, Marilyn!! Isn’t Carol the best?! Thank you for being a friend and following me on this journey! ❤
Hello! I am in the same boat as you. No one to stitch with. I taught myself how to quilt when I was in my teens- no RUclips then. Cross stitched around the same time, but focused on quilting for many years. Returned to cross stitch about three years ago. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Thank you for watching! I can’t imagine learning without RUclips. I love that you do both! ❤
Well..... That was delightful ❤❤❤. I definitely hope you make another flosstube.
Thank you for watching my video and for the sweet comment!
Wonderful video. We are kindred hearts. I love all things reproduction in quilts and cross stitch. Can't wait for your next video.
Thank you for watching! I love that you are also a reproduction quilter! 🥰
Loved your floss tube. I don't have anyone near me that does counted cross stitch. I do have several friends that quilt. We meet on Weds and hand quilt taking turns doing each other's quilts. I don't have any shops near me. I imagine it would be at least a 3 hr drive to a LNS. 50+ miles one way to Hobby Lobby so I usually order on line.
Thank you for watching my video! What a wonderful group to be apart of. I don’t have a quilt shop close to me that sells fabric I like so I have to order online. Nothing better though than walking around a well decorated quilt shop, petting all the beautiful fabrics.
Excellent first video. I also don’t have any friends or family that stitch. I love spending my time stitching while watching floss tube
Thank you for watching my video! Thankfully we have this amazing community ❤
So looking forward to seeing your wins and current projects. Please keep it up.
Thank you for watching my video! My WIP parade is coming soon!
So nice to meet you via floss-tube! U touched my heart with the "M" on your sampler, that was an awesome idea. I choked up on that. I had a Maddy. As far as having friends share the cross stitch love, I often wish my best friend enjoyed this too! It is my joy and therapy. Keep up the wonderful videos! I will find you on IG too! 😊 🌺
Hi Lesa! Thank you for the sweet comment. I’m sorry for your loss of Maddy. They are so special. I tried to get my bf to stitch. She bought the things but never started 😂.
@@Sewtattered Yes, our pets are very special and forever missed ~ a great way to incorporate and memorialize them. I just love stitching and fun to have someone enjoy it along with you. My ex - his eyes would glaze over when I talked about it. Lol. It is a great hobby and addiction! 😅 Happy Fall! 🤗
I'm an avid stitcher and have always been intrigued by quilting. Good job on your first video!
I hope you are able to pick it up one day! ❤
Loved it! Keep going! I also do all the things. I tell everyone not to let me knit or crochet as I don’t need to collect anymore fibre!!! I am going to have to try the pause…shop,….pause…. shop though. My husband won’t thank you for that! Sandi
Thank you for watching! I know what you mean! I went to a shop that had fabric on one side of the store and gorgeous yarn on the other and I could see the fear in my husband’s face! Our poor husbands! 😂
Great job Katie! Thanks for sharing your passion with us. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! ❤
Great video! I sure can relate to not having anyone to talk about our craft, Love watching floss tube, I too quilt & stitch. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Hi Katie! I’m a 72 year old Jersey girl living in north Georgia (USA) and I don’t have any in person stitching or quilting friends. I started stitching (self taught) in the late 70’s, and got the quilting bug in the early 2000’s. Like you I love reproduction fabrics - Jo Morton, Kim Dehiel,Pam Buda, Kansas Troubles, etc. Came back to stitching in 2018 and was joyously overwhelmed with all the fantastic changes, especially flosstube. Olivia, Pumpkin Hollow Quilts, mentioned you in her video and I’m so glad she did. Great first video, I subscribed immediately! Looking forward to spending time with you on flosstube.
Thank you for subscribing to my channel! I love that you do both cross stitch and quilting. I bet you have some incredible treasures through all those years of making. Olivia is so sweet for mentioning me. I’m glad that you are going to be on this journey with me ❤️
Yay! Welcome to the flosstube community! Love the blackbird Christmas garden piece!
Two minutes in and I love your video! I can’t wait to follow you and can relate on so many levels.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! I just subscribed to your channel! I love being apart of such a special community 🥰
I retired from teaching and just like you I’m learning by watching you tube . I love quilting, knitting, cross stitching . Good luck on your new floss tube adventure ❤
Olivia told me about your FT. You did great! Can't wait for the next one! I also love Civil War reproduction fabric. I have only made a few quilts so far but I love it. I just need to keep at it as I lack confidence.
I love to cross stitch and am just finishing Jenny Bean for the Parlor...the whole series of eight on one piece of 36 count wren. It is a beauty!
Thank you for checking out my channel! I adore Olivia. I love that you also love reproduction fabric. I understand the lack of confidence. My first ten or more quilts are embarrassing but they are apart of my progress.
I had to look up the Jenny Bean series. That’s beautiful and quite a project! ❤
Really enjoyed your 1st flosstube! You do beautiful work. Off to watch #2. 🧵🪡😊
Thank you for watching! ❤
Great first flosstube! You would never know it was your first one! I love your comment “squishy emotional” that is so me! Can’t wait to see more of your video’s.
Thank you for watching my video and for the sweet comment! Us squishy people have to stick together 😂❤
I’m so glad you’re doing flosstube, I’m going to start here and binge to catch up. I don’t have any friends who stitch either, I love them all, my sis included, but there isn’t one crafty bone in any of their bodies! I bought and kitted up the Golden Bird Sampler because I saw your post on IG and thought it was so pretty, so thank you xx
Hi Lorrie! I’m so happy you’ve found me and that you are starting Gold Birds! Please use the hashtag so I can follow your progress ❤
Such a relaxing first video, great job and please come back. I, too, love quilting (too many quilts!), wool applique, hand embroidery and a return to cross stitch big time. This activity has changed so much through the years and it is frustrating not to have someone who loves it as much as I do....thus Flosstube is my go to for like friends....hope to see you soon......
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! That’s exactly how I feel. I didn’t expect this community to be so welcoming and kind! It’s like we are all old friends ❤
Oh my stars ✨ I loved your video and “you” I am a fellow quilter and I am dipping my toes in X-stitch, I am also a scrapbooker - so glad I found your channel 🤗
Thank you for watching! I love that you are starting cross stitch! It’s fun to do all the things. ❤
Very nice to meet you Katie...like you my friends don't quilt or cross stitch and it is so much fun to watch you...our yougest son is autistic and it has been a journey with him...he is doing better since he has his teenage years behind him...wishing you the best...Olivia se t me over...happy stitching ❤❤
Hi Loretta! Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for sharing a part of your story. Those young years are tough! I worked for a few years in a class for kids with autism and I would tell the parents that one day something just clicks and things will become easier for your child and you. I hope I can become your friend even though we aren’t neighbors 🥰❤️
So happy to meet you, wonderful flosstube!
Thank you, Chris!
Congrats on your floss tube videos! Awesome job! I also love cross stitching and quilting! Can’t wait for you next video!
Hi Deborah! Thank you for watching my video! I love to hear you do both ❤❤
Welcome to FlossTube! Great first video. Your finished sampler is beautiful!
Thank you!
Love your flosstube. Brenda gave you a shoutout, and I’m glad she did. Hope to see more
Thank you for checking out my channel! I’m grateful for Brenda for many reasons 🥰
What a delightful video. You have a new friend in me. I also love to quilt and cross stitch. I try to knit but I become confused where I am on a pattern. I also love to crochet. I have made many afghans and gifted them to people. I made one for my mom every Christmas. I guess she knew what was coming as a gift. Looking forward to more videos. Again excellent job.
Thank you! I love getting new friends! It’s so wonderful that you give out afghans for gifts! I’m sure they are well loved. ❤
Love your big huge sampler 🫶🏻 new to floss tube and sharing my love for cross stitching as well- loved watching you! ❤
Thank you! That’s so awesome! I’m going to check out your channel ❤
@@Sewtattered thank you so much- hope you love it 🫶🏻
Wonderful flosstube, your finished sampler is exquisite
Thank you so much! ❤
You do all the things I do. I love it. EPP wool appliqué quilt and cross stitch. I learned quilting from my granny. At eight I had to spend the summer with her and she taught me hand piecing and hand quilting we did a double wedding ring quilt. So yeah, I get starting with the hardest thing as a beginner I didn’t know so she said I could do it. OK let’s do that I still have it it’s beautiful I’m so glad you decided to do a floss tube and your first or a great job I will subscribe like do all the things. Have a great day.
Hi Diana! I love that you learned from your granny! Makes it even more special. Double wedding ring intimidates me even today 😂. Thank you for subscribing and being on this journey with me!
Wonderful flosstube. Your sampler is stunning.
Thank you for for taking the time to watch my video and for your sweet comment!
Hi Katie! Welcome to the community! Just found your video in my recommendations. Loved your first video! You did great! I giggled when you talked about your squishy feelings! I’m right there with ya! Loved your sampler! Gorgeous! Your quilt is gorgeous also! Will be watching the rest of your videos! Glad you took the leap!
Hi Susan! Thank you for the sweet comment and for following me on this journey. I’m noticing quite a few of us struggle with squishy feelings 😂. ❤
Great first floss tube.😊 Amazing projects. Hope to see you back soon. 👏👏👏👏❤️
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video!
Sampler is beautiful. Great flosstube
Thank you for watching my video! ❤
Hi Katie. I loved watching your first video. You and i have a lot in common. I have been married for 22 years. I also have 2 boys. My oldest is 23 and special needs. I also have a 17 year old. I love cross stitching . I would love to try quilting one day. Welcome to the flosstube. Please keep the videos coming. Happy stitching and quilting.
Hi Tammy! Thank you for watching my first video. We do have a lot in common. I have found several stitchers through here that have similar stories. It’s good to know we are connected through more than just our love of the hobby. 🥰♥️
Thanks so much for you video! Can’t wait to see more of your work! I love Olivia at Pumpkin Holllow Quilts too - she’s probably my number 1 enabler! 😂😂😂
Hi Katy! Thank you for watching! Yes, lots of “pause, shop” happening during her videos. 😂❤
Enjoyed your flosstube. Keep them coming!
Thank you for watching!
Great start to a floss tube. I enjoyed watching your first video and seeing your projects. I look forward to your next one. Good luck
Thank you for watching my video and for the kind comment!!
Your sampler is beautiful! Great job on your first video! On to your second! Don’t have any stitch friends either!! Would be so nice to stitch and share with someone!
Welcome to FlossTube, Katie! Your projects are super beautiful! Please come ask and do more videos.
Thank you Leslie! You’re a new to me flosstuber and will check out you videos!
I am cross stitcher, I sew, knit and crochet. I so enjoyed this. You are amazing.
Wow, you do it all! Thank you for watching! ❤
Loved your first flosstube! You’re adorable and funny! Olivia gave you a shoutout and that’s why I’m here, she said we’d love you and she was spot on! The samplers are beautiful! I also don’t have friends or family that cross stitch and so I love flosstube. I live in Florida but have a summer home in the mountains of NC and that’s where I am now. Why not do a SAL, that would be fun! Thanks for sharing your story!
Thank you for watching and for such a sweet comment! Olivia is the best! I bet it’s beautiful up in the mountains in the summer. A SAL would be fun! I’m going to think on that ❤
Welcome to Flosstube!! You did such a great job! I love your taste in quilt fabrics and can't wait to see more of your quilts (same with your stitching)! The quilt top behind you is gorgeous!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching my video! I’ve been watching you and following you for a long time and I love seeing all the beautiful things you work on!
@@Sewtattered That's so kind of you, thank you!!
Hi Katie new subscriber hear thx to flossbossincousins!👍❤️ I heard your name on someone else’s flosstube but I watch so many I can’t recall who’s it was lol. Love all your work! I’m slowly falling for so many older sampler works but I start so many things not just cross stitch that I can never seem to complete anything. Small things are a bit easier. The draw from instagram for others that do the same things has definitely got me hooked lately. I want to do all the things. I wouldn’t call myself a quilter, I’ve only done small projects and still learning but love everything fabric related. Our husbands are the best. I am a multi crafter I’d say but definitely more like Laura a serial starter and kitter. I don’t have a lot of others around me that crossstitch but recently met a couple plus those that do rug hooking so those are pretty much the crafters I see. The connections online are especially wonderful. This community is great. Look forward to seeing all you do. I’ve been on youtube just over a year myself but it’s definitely a learning curve to sit and talk to a camera alone. So many of the ones I watch are duos which seems easier and not so weird talking to yourself. 🤣 I’m sure you’ll do fine it just takes determination and the accountability in this community is wonderful. Keep at it!👍
Hi Lynda! Just getting to my FT comments. Thank you for reaching out to me! I’m so excited to meet you! ❤❤
@@Sewtattered yes 👍 will be fun
I am totally in love with the quilt top hanging behind you. Please show us your room. Great floss tube. I look forward to many more.
Thank you for watching my video! I’m nervous to quilt it because I love it so much 😂. I’ll have another video soon ❤
Hi I just seen your floss tube and I love your work. I’ve only been stitching for a little while and I’m so in love with it. I started on 14 ct Aida and now I’m venturing into 28 ct Lugauna then hopefully move onto linen. I too would love yo quilt but for now cross stitching is good. Thanks for your inspiration and so glad you started your floss tube channel I follow several on here and learn so much watching you tube 😊
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and for your very kind comment! I’m so grateful for RUclips. I wouldn’t know how to do anything.
Love your stitching!!!😊
Thank you!! ❤
Great first video! Came over after watching Carol Saltbox Stitcher! Your sampler finish is gorgeous. Keep up the good work.
This was a great first video. I am a cross sticker since I was a child. I am in my 60s now. Lol. I am going to my first wool appliqué class this month, so I was excited to see that you do it too. Be well and happy stitching!
Oh I love that you’re learning wool appliqué! I bet you’re going to love it!
