Thanks for the shout out! I had a frog jump on me this summer. That was bad enough! Love the new pattern, and purchased it. I'm loving your design style,!
I’m happy you had such a good time on your trip. Now that you are retired you can go anytime you want, avoiding all the summer crowds and heat. I hate rats and mice. Really hate them. I don’t blame you one bit for screaming. I love your Blue Flower Camper piece. Because of seeing yours I bought the pattern. I have yet to start it. Your designs are beautiful and now that you are retired you can pursue designing. I’m looking forward to see what you come out with next. Have a good two weeks.
Barn quilts are fabulous. When my husband I drive somewhere we don’t take main highways, we take parallel roads and it is amazing how many barn quilts can be found. I love that this will be a series.
Welcome back, you were dearly missed. thank you for taking us along in photos and stories. So glad you enjoyed you little package of goodies. When I was sorting my fabric and came across it I knew immediately who it was going to be for. Your designs are so awesome, you have the gift of design for sure. Much hugs from the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. Linda
Hi, Chris! It’s great to see you back! I think your new Autumn piece is just precious. 😊 it must be such an awesome feeling to design something from scratch, then choose your colors and fabric, and finally to stitch up your very own creation yourself!! I can’t even imagine the pride and excitement you must feel while putting in those first stitches, then watching as the whole design comes to life under your fingertips! 🪡🧵💙☺️ Meline
Welcome home! I am glad that you had such a wonderful trip and are home safely! It was nice to see your WIP’s and new design! What a story! I can’t believe a mouse ran into the fire! Glad it didn’t land on you! Your trip was fabulous! Thank you for sharing! Have a good couple of weeks!
Welcome back! We missed you! The Autumn Sampler is going to be amazing. Look forward to watching your progress on it and American Welcome. Congratulations on the new design!
Oh my goodness!!! The stitching store is my LNS!!! I'm so happy that you got to experience it! I'm just sad that I wasn't there to meet you!! Maybe next time you make it to Colorado🤞The stitching store employees are so helpful and just a joy to talk to!!! So happy you had a wonderful time on your trip. 💜
Sounds like you had a wonderful trip! Glad you're home! I lived in Schooleys Mountain for 14 years. Western New Jersey is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
🎉so glad you're back from a wonderful trip. Our family took several trips to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone back in the 1958-1962 era. We had 9 people in a station wagon and pulled a pop-up trailer. Not much room in the car once we were all in there, but we got along fine and made wonderful memories we still reminisce about today. You made some great progress on stitching also.
Your new release is beautiful Chris!! I LOL’d when you said you have so much stitching to do that you’re glad you quit your day job😂Your trip sounds amazing! I loved your pics on IG🍂🍁
Cool Moose & trip ... new design, It's So Cute!!! Love the campfire story. I was doing yard work with hubby years ago and a little white Vole or Mole whatever they are called, jumped out the ground, there was no hole it just came out of the land & I bet my scream was a loud as yours. And my Hubby laughed too. Men!! On this past Tuesday we went to a Lake, he fished from the shore, and I was ready to begin cross stitching, I got ONE stitch in, and he calmly walks over to me and says Don't Move, there's a snake, you'll be fine. I did an internal Scream, then another that he could hear, he shooed the snake and I ran away!
Love your new release. Great stash haul! We have a few barn quilts close to here. I didn't know there are trails of them. Your trip sounds like fun. Great camp story, I wouldn't been out of my chair & down the road! I also hate mice. Marilyn
First, welcome home. It was a joy to watch your trip from afar. Second, amazing new design and I bought pronto. Third, the mouse story!!! 😱 It’s a paralyzing fear for sure!!
Autumn design is lovely,WIPS and haul are all wonderful as is your finish,camping is a lot of fun,we have a camper van as well here in NZ looking forward to our summertime,Thankyou for sharing 🇳🇿❤️🪡
I watched youe video because more than one flosstuber has shouted you out! IT WAS SO GREAT!!! Lots of things to love & so I just had to subscribe! I will be going back to watch your past ones! I also LOVED your new design which I plan to purchase ASAP! I was laughing out loud at your camping story! I get it because i also HATE MICE!!! So glad I found you!
Thank you so much!! I'm happy to hear you found me and so thankful for all the shout outs! This is a wonderful, supportive community that makes room for everyone, it's been amazing! I'm glad you're here!
So glad you're home to do a video again but glad you had a great time. Barn quilts are great - Ohio has quite a few barns with Quilts on especially in Amish country. You might do a search for Cats Meow in Wooster, Ohio - they have lots of meaningful barns with quilts on - Like the Ohio star. May have one that is meaningful to you - your state or someplace you visited. Love your new release, I really appreciate your new "job" designing - wonderful time to start, since you are retired from your other job.
Great video! Sounds like you had a great trip. When we were visiting my son in Colorado I was able to go to The Stitchy Store. I don’t have an LNS close to me so when I walked in I was in total awe.I didn’t know what to look at first, I could have spent the whole day there. I told my son next time he can just drop me off and leave me there. I didn’t get to go to Colorado Cross Stitcher because it was to far from my sons . Your new pattern is adorable, might have buy. Looking forward to your next FlossTube
What a great adventure! Such a beautiful part of our country, nothing like the West. You're doing great with your designs, love barn quilts too, lots of them here in Ohio. I'm not even bothered by outside mice and I'd have screamed like a banshee 😮. Happy you're home and stitching away.
Your trip sounds amazing. I love your progress on your WIP's. Your new design is so fun. I'm excited for the series. I think I already have my Fall stitching planned (your pumpkin design is on the list) so this one may need to wait, but I love barn quilts too.
Love your new release! I did not realize there was a reason for the barn quilts. I will have to do some research. You have whet my appetite! I died laughing hearing your mouse story! 😂 How far do you think he jumped? All your stitching is so beautiful! ❤
I have a mouse adventure this week.too. i warmed up fried chicken and was eating it. I looked over and and 2 feet away was this mouse staring at me. I screamed. My land lady set a trap. The first night he got away with the cheese. The second night the mouse trap disappeared. I opened my sewing machine cabinet flap and there he was with his eyes looking at me. I screamed again. My land lady came down and said he's dead and removed him. I hate mice too.
Glad you had a great time away! I’m curious as to what you do with your birds while you’re away. We have a shop nearby where we can board ours, but I always wonder what I’ll do if and when it closes down. Not sure I can get a friend to stick their hand where a big beak lives!
Love your finishes and your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!

Thank you so much! It's a little nerve wracking as well - you just don't know if others will like it too.

Happy you are back. Your barn design is great. I live in Ohio and we see many of them. Glad you had a good trip.
Thank you!
I worked on Autumn Sampler today, since it’s the first day of autumn. I have several of my absolute favorite stitches of all time going right now!
Love the Barn Quilt.
I am thrilled for you and your success as a designer. You are rocking retirement!
Thank you so much!

Hi welcome home! Camping is so much fun! I’m amazed with all the stitching you get done! All are so beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Happy stitching!
I am so excited for your barn block series!!!! I love looking for them when we take our road trips.
Thank you so much, Laurel!!! So happy you like it.
Oh my gosh, when you talked about the mouse, I was hugging myself in terror!! 😮 I probably would have passed out it had been
me! 🫣😜
I'm pretty sure I was lightheaded!!!
First, welcome home. It was a joy to watch your trip from afar. Second, amazing new design and I bought pronto. Third, the mouse story!!! 😱 It’s a paralyzing fear for sure!!
Thank you so much, Missy. I can't tell you how much that means to me. Holy smokes - I swear I would have fainted if it landed on me.
@@TheCampingStitcher I can’t even!!

Thank you! I'd rather them stay outside, but every year we get them when it gets cold and then, well, you know.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!

@@TheCampingStitcher That’s great!
Great work on finishing, WIPs and your “Autumn” design! 🎉 Thank you for taking time to tell us about your trip. Amazing. 👏👏👏💜
Thanks so much! 😊
Congratulations on your new design! What fabric are you doing the Autumn sampler on?
I used Hemingway by Needle and Flax but you could use so many different fabrics. Thank you!
