WHAT A GREAT EPISODE!!!! You and your momma are a joy to watch. I am 66 yrs old so I am at the age to refect back to the 70's/80's when I was in the hayday of stitching. We had cross stitch shops all over the area. Now, one shop, one hour away, that I actually went to today after watching your flosstube. ANYWAY, your momma needs to make more appearances. She is great. Now we know where you get your humor from. By the way, Angie, beautiful stitching. I can't believe what all you have completed in a year. Mindboggling!
That was absolutely lovely to meet your mom 😊 I am from her generation and stitched in the 80’s & 90’s, had a 10 yr hiatus and came back to stitching in April 3020 when I discovered Floss Tube. I am self taught from magazines and one little coiled book by Pat Carson on how to stitch on linen. Most incredible changes: 1) hand dyed fabric 2) learning how to use floss drops and pull out one strand of floss 3) Learning the pin stitch 4) discovering the world of full coverage like HAED’s and trying to decipher the strategy behind how to stitch them. Cross Stitch is definitely where my heart lives 💚 Stephanie, you are in my top 5 of favourite designers. Thanks for posting episodes, I look forward to watching every time 🙋♀️
I loved this! You two ladies have the same beautiful smile, and all of your Mom's projects were beautiful! Those Margaret Sherry cats....even the fabric she picked for the hangings was perfect. And all of the amazing changes to the patterns she's doing? The Lollipop Guild was everything. I love all things Wizard of Oz. I hope she comes back and shares more! I want to see her anniversary project finished.
Lovely to meet your mom. I also started in the 80's and here in the Netherlands there was only Lanarte and sometimes a pattern in the womens magazines. About 8 years ago I found a magazine called Cross Stitch Collection with a pattern by Joan Elliott 1920's the Flapper and then there was Facebook with all those cross stitch groups and I fell down the rabbithole 😂😂😂
“Let’s make it harder so you just hate every minute.” 😂😂😂 What a joyful and creative mother you have! I love all of the projects but those bathroom girls have to be my favorite. ❤️
Love the interaction between the two of you. Thanks for all the smiles. :-) Your mom and I have lots in common--cross stitched in the 80s and 90s, retired last year, have picked up stitching again. Same hairstyle, always hot, giving away stitching. :-) Her advice to those returning to cross stitch is spot-on. I was one of those people who went a little crazy buying all the charts during the pandemic, and then I was hit by the fact that I am simply not going to have the time to stitch it all. I've slowed up with the buying. :-) Since returning I have begun to stitch on linen, have bought several full-coverage charts, and discovered evenweave. Still like Aida, but I'm branching out. Thanks for such a great video. :-) Best wishes to you both.
LOL! 🤣 You had to edit your Mom! 🤭 The Wizard of Oz piece is awesome! (Also my favorite movie 🎥) Thank you for sharing your Maw and for another freebie! 🥰🤗🙏🏼
I love your mom! From the prom rant to her "keep your stash small" advice. I vote for more videos with mom! I also love that the bathroom cross stitch made the cut when she moved but the Amish panel got booted! 😄
What a fun video! I also began stitching in the 80s and while I've gone through up and down periods, I never stopped stitching. My first piece was a kit, a small Christmas ornament, that I bought at Walmart. It wasn't too long before I had a subscription to Cross Stitch and Country Craft magazine and was attending Creative Circle parties. Those are the only Tupperware-style home parties I actually liked and I really miss Creative Circle. One thing I miss about the 80s and 90s is how easy it was to find a brick and mortar LNS. There are none near me now. The closest is over an hour away (the one in Laporte - I've never been there.) So glad to have found flosstube and happy to know there are still plenty of stitchers out there!
I learned to cross stitch when I was a child and didnt do it again until my 20s in the 80s and 90s. Like you Angie, I did a lot of 14/16 ct because it was what was available. I also made a lot of Precious Moments wedding gifts/ring bearer pillows. One year I cross stitch 25 sweat shirts as Christmas gifts and had a baby nine days before Christmas! I took two of the shirts to the hospital to finish lol. I didn't stitch much after the mid 90s and picked it up again when I lost my constant companion (my doxie Margarita) in 2019. I also crochet. knit. beadwork and scrapbook. I enjoyed seeing you and all your stitching.
Like your mom, I am a returning stitched and I also felt a little overwhelmed when I got back into it. One of the things I love best today is the use of variegated colors instead of having to make a million color changes. Thanks for sharing your mom and her wonderful finishes with us! She’s inspirational, wise, and has a great sense of humor..I hope she visits with you again soon☺️💕
Loved this! I started cross stitching in the 70’s and quit in the early 90’s and came back to it in the past year. I stitched on linen and even weave fabric back in the 80’s, did beading and specialty stitches-but I worked at a craft store so maybe I had more access to products. I 1000% agree with your mom about keeping stash small. Cross stitching takes time and it is quite probable that you won’t like the same patterns in a couple of years. Great episode!!
Stephanie - your Maw is everything!! Great video and great stashing advice. My mom and I learned to cross stitch in the early eighties. She was a prolific stitcher and crafter. After she passed I took a 25 year break but restarted this wonderful hobby again in 2018. Hope “Maw” makes lots of appearances. It was the best!
Such fun! My mom made all my prom dresses too! I used to stitch in the 80’s and 90’s too and gave most of them as gifts. So much more fun now … fabrics, flosses and patterns!
I’m a returning stitcher just like your mom. I stitched in the 80’s and during Covid I picked it back up. I’m going to town on it now!!! Also, I think your mom is adorable and I think she should become a regular on your show!!
Love this flosstube with you and your mom. I am a little older than her and did cross-stitch in the 80’s and 90’s and dabbled a little bit in the 2000’s. Went back big time when I retired in 2020. I also love your designs and “whimsical ness” and can see that you got some of that from your Maw.
Hi ladies, greetings from the UK.I to was an avid stitcher in the 80's, laid down my needles and floss as my career became more demanding. Picked up again last year on retirement and covid restraints. Loving all the new floss, patterns and ways to finish the articles...awesome x
I recently took a beautiful gift cross stitch out of the frame (stitched for me by my BFF in 1991). I soaked it first until the water was clear and then gently washed it in quilt wash soap- continued to make sure she rinsed until clear again. I put it back in the original frame. DMC is very colorfast. I think your mom could leave her framed bathroom pieces in the plastic frames (yeah, plastic won’t bleed) and soak, gently swishing in soap, rinse and air dry. That is, if the dirty look isn’t her jam, lol!
It was so fun watching you and your mom. I'm going to be 70 in Dec., so I did a lot of cross-stitch in the 80's and 90's. Then I did some model stitching for a local shop in the late 90's. I stopped for awhile and then picked it up full time when Covid hit. Your mother's advise of not going too crazy buying things that you think are cute is excellent. I'm loving the stitching, but I will never finish all the things I have bought in the last couple of years. I tell myself that they are my collection. You are both adorable. Thanks for the fun!!!
Thank you for introducing your Mom and her projects. Now I know why you’re so great. I would love to see her co-host anytime. I am grateful for the Sugar Plum Dreams chart. It’s a beautiful gift. Your kindness and generosity astounds me. If we don’t see you before, I hope you and your family have a blessed turkey day. 💜
Such an enjoyable episode! Stephanie, your mom is just as charming as you are. Her Oz piece is really beautiful and I love the changes she made. Looking forward to more Maw!!!
Loved seeing your Mom's stitching. I was married in 1980 and started stitching in 1987. I too made a lot of gifts (and never took pictures of them!). I got into quilting in 1997 but never actually quit cross stitching. However, Flosstube really opened my eyes to a whole new universe of patterns and fabric. I love seeing other people's stash and WIPs but I do agree with Angela's advice about being selective in what you purchase. I try to take into account that I am 65 years old and although my eyes are great currently, that might not always be the case. Having said that, I just made my biggest order ever of patterns from 123stitch yesterday!
Stephanie, this was SO much fun! I love your mom and how you 2 interact. I started stitching in the 80's too and stopped in the late 90's, didn't pick it up again until about 4 years ago. The "new" cross stitch IS so much better! Oh, and thank you for the lovely Christmas gift!
You two are a hoot! Gotta say you really make me miss my mom. She's gone for 38 years, I so would live to visit and laugh like that with her. Please appreciate! Adore being together!
A most delightful video! I laughed along with you. I am 88 years old and stitched back in the 80’s as you did, Angela. Quilting took over for a long time but when grandbabies came along, I would do birth announcements, or wedding samplers all through the intervening years. But over this past crazy year, I have really gone back to xstitching big time. Your advice to newbies about being practical about purchases hit home because I am finding stash from the 80’s which will never get used. And I will admit that I grid everything and only stitch on Aida. My eyes, although pretty good for an old lady, just can’t handle linen. But I am thinking about experimenting on evenweave. Wish me luck.
It was great to meet your mom. Y’all are quite an entertaining pair! 🤣 I can see from where you got your fun-living nature, too. I’m dying to see “Teaching Dad to Cross Stitch.” 🤣
So nice meeting your mom! I made so many of the Precious Moments bride and groom I can't remember who they all went to! I know of 2 couples that split and when the bride remarried she had me change the grooms name and date! 😉
I loved your mom. I am 77 and totally relate to what she was talking about when “we” cross stitched in the 80s. And I have so many Precious Moments pieces done also. I hope you have her back again. She is a hoot! Now I know where you get it from.
I love this video with your Mom. I can see where your sense of humor comes from. My Mom made my prom dress, too. What wonderful memories. I love the Precious Moments pieces and how nice to know that all who received them are still married.
Well, this was fun! Your mother is delightful and it was great hearing her perspective and suggestions of a stitcher that stitched "back in the day" and now is experiencing the new generation of designs, fabrics, threads and how to start stitching again...I am probably very close to your mom's age and can relate to what she showed that she has stitched. Thank goodness for today's designers like yourself; I don't know that cross stitch would even be around if not for the designs that are being created today.
I had some cross stitch that my daughter did for me in the 90's & I just put it in a dishpan with some dish soap & let it soak...it worked fine! I just put it in the water frame & all. Really enjoyed your Mother & would have loved to have heard her Prom rant!
Watching you and your mom was so much fun! Thanks for sharing her with us. I started cross stitching in the mid to late 70's. My projects were few and far between, and usually gifted to family and friends. I started stitching more this past spring, and I am really in to it. I love the patterns and the great fabric colors. Then I found FlossTube and now I'm addicted!! I love watching designers like you!! ❤️
Loved seeing your mom and the stories she had about family and when she started cross stitching. I too started stitching in the late 80's, early 90's. I never quit, even when raising my children. I would allow an hour after they went to bed and I went to bed for a little stitching. I'm so excited about all the changes that have come about with the variety of patterns and finishes! Liked the bloopers at the end too!
Super love Mom. Hope she makes regular appearances. (I had to go back and edit this comment.) Never mind. Mom needs her own show. You can be her special guest once in awhile.
Your mom is a hoot!!! Thank you for filing and sharing this with us. So much joy. Also, so if I contact you prior to 2035….. 🤣😂🤣 Sending love and hugs. xo
I grinned and laughed all the way through your floss tube today as I too am in my sixties and was a cross stitcher in the 80's and 90's. During the snow storm in Texas, I picked this old friend back up and agree with your mom that cross stitch. has really changed. Watching you two interact and seeing your positive and fun energy was thrilling.. stay well and close.. loved watching
You two are so awesome together. I see where you get your talent from, Stephanie! I love the Emerald City; best version I've seen yet. I started stitching in the 80's, but never stopped. Mom's advice on how someone can "fall down the rabbit hole" is so true. If I live to be 400, I'll never run out of patterns. But one's taste does change, so new patterns keep coming along. I look forward to seeing your Mom again on your floss tube; it was so fun. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Definitely do more videos with your mom. The two of you together are so fun to watch. 😀 My mother is also very crafty and got me started down the cross stitch road when I was in high school.
What a fun (funny er?) video to watch…your Mum is precious and it’s easy to see where your great sense of humour and fun come from…loved meeting her and seeing you both interact so well together…I was smiling and laughing all the way through…Thanks Stephanie and Angela…🥰🇦🇺
Thank you for this heartwarming lovely video. Your mom is gorgeous. This one made me smile and giggle along with you. Perfect for a Sunday Sofa day watch while stitching. 🤗
I really enjoyed seeing the two of you discuss stitching! I stopped in the 80's and just restarted in June. I fell in love with all the modern styles. If it was all still Precious Moments I would not be stitching! We need to see the anniversary piece when it is finished!
Loved your gift to us!!! 💞 Thank YOU Stephanie❣️ Awww....loved meeting your beautiful mom 💖 She is adorable, you both are!! Oh!! What a beautiful prom dress!! Such a cute video!!! Oh yes! I have stitched Precious Moments! How wonderful to be retired and stitch❣️ Beautiful Wizard of Oz stitch!!! I love the changes!!! 💚 Oh boy...my stash is more like 3000!!! 😳 Convinced it will come to heaven with me! 😊🙏🥰
Loved, loved, your Mom, I to started cross stitching in the 80's. It was nice to see how wonderfully interact. She should be on once a month with you to see what she is up to. Love you
Thank you for the amazing Christmas pattern & thank you for sharing your Maw! 😍 I smiled the whole time watching y’all! When you said the Precious Moments have magical powers 🤣🤣🤣. Also WOW- Angie…the changes you have made like the super cute pumpkin pie & your Wizard of Oz- that’s such a gift, I think the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Please come back next year (or sooner 😉).
I am actually your Mother’s age and returned to cross stitch this year. I have found floss tube and just love it. I have readily adapted to the new patterns and have started journaling with my cross stitching like I do with my quilting. I must admit, I have a lot of patterns but I do a lot of stitching. My daughter is also starting to cross stitch so most of my stash is suppling both of us. I share very well. Have s Happy Thanksgiving!
Loved it!! Your mom was great. It's so fun to hear about what cross stitch used to be like. I loved seeing her past projects and her wips. It's so nice that you both can share in the same craft. Thanks for sharing 🌳🐿
Loved today’s video!! Now I want to come hang out with you and your mom. I also stitched in the 80’s and 90’s,(yes I stitched Precious Moments), took a 20+ year hiatus, retired in 2018 and rediscovered my love of cross stitch in 2019.
I loved your show and listening to your Mom tell about the things that she has done and is doing. I want to be her friend because I too have come back into cross stitching as a senior citizen the past year. Her suggestions for those heading back to cross stitching was great. The reason I got back is that I was a quilter and all of the quilt stores, guilds, small groups all went away with COVID. I fell in love with floss tube videos and became quickly addicted. Now I have so many projects going that I know I will never get them finished in my lifetime. I hope that at least one of my daughters will take up the things that I have. Thank you again. I love your show.

Your mom is delightful! I hope she comes back. This was a super fun flosstube. Thanks for the Christmas chart!
WHAT A GREAT EPISODE!!!! You and your momma are a joy to watch. I am 66 yrs old so I am at the age to refect back to the 70's/80's when I was in the hayday of stitching.

That was absolutely lovely to meet your mom 😊 I am from her generation and stitched in the 80’s & 90’s, had a 10 yr hiatus and came back to stitching in April 3020 when I discovered Floss Tube.
I am self taught from magazines and one little coiled book by Pat Carson on how to stitch on linen.
Most incredible changes:
1) hand dyed fabric
2) learning how to use floss drops and pull out one strand of floss
3) Learning the pin stitch
4) discovering the world of full coverage like HAED’s and trying to decipher the strategy behind how to stitch them.
Cross Stitch is definitely where my heart lives 💚
Stephanie, you are in my top 5 of favourite designers. Thanks for posting episodes, I look forward to watching every time 🙋♀️
Thanks for the visit mom. You are both so adorable 😍 💕
I loved this! You two ladies have the same beautiful smile, and all of your Mom's projects were beautiful! Those Margaret Sherry cats....even the fabric she picked for the hangings was perfect.

What a joy your mom is! She just lights up the screen 💕
LOL! 🤣 You had to edit your Mom! 🤭 The Wizard of Oz piece is awesome! (Also my favorite movie 🎥) Thank you for sharing your Maw and for another freebie! 🥰🤗🙏🏼

Oh, I see where you get your "off beat" perspective! What a joy to meet your mom. Please make her a regular
Hi ladies, greetings from the UK.I to was an avid stitcher in the 80's, laid down my needles and floss as my career became more demanding. Picked up again last year on retirement and covid restraints. Loving all the new floss, patterns and ways to finish the articles...awesome x
I recently took a beautiful gift cross stitch out of the frame (stitched for me by my BFF in 1991).

That was the most entertaining and fun flosstube! Your mother and you are hilarious! ❤️❤️❤️ Please have her back soon!
So fun to meet mom! I laughed when she talked about making the anniversary piece harder. So many great pieces!
You're mom is just a hoot! What a sweet lady. Thanks for sharing her with us.
What a fun video with your mom !I remember the 80's stitching!
i've been stitching since 1981 with no breaks and the craft has changed quite a bit. and yes your tastes do change over time
OMG Stephanie! Now we all know where you got your talent from! Your Mom is awesome!!❤️
It was so fun watching you and your mom. I'm going to be 70 in Dec., so I did a lot of cross-stitch in the 80's and 90's. Then I did some model stitching for a local shop in the late 90's. I stopped for awhile and then picked it up full time when Covid hit. Your mother's advise of not going too crazy buying things that you think are cute is excellent. I'm loving the stitching, but I will never finish all the things I have bought in the last couple of years. I tell myself that they are my collection. You are both adorable. Thanks for the fun!!!

Your kindness and generosity astounds me. If we don’t see you before, I hope you and your family have a blessed turkey day. 💜
This video made me smile and chuckle. Your mom is a hoot! Thank you fir sharing her with us. Wonderful memory you have created.
Such an enjoyable episode! Stephanie, your mom is just as charming as you are. Her Oz piece is really beautiful and I love the changes she made. Looking forward to more Maw!!!
Stephanie, your Mom is an absolute gem! Thank you for sharing her with us! 💙 (the Oz piece is my favorite! 🌪)

Loved seeing your Mom's stitching. I was married in 1980 and started stitching in 1987. I too made a lot of gifts (and never took pictures of them!). I got into quilting in 1997 but never actually quit cross stitching. However, Flosstube really opened my eyes to a whole new universe of patterns and fabric.

I try to take into account that I am 65 years old and although my eyes are great currently, that might not always be the case. Having said that, I just made my biggest order ever of patterns from 123stitch yesterday!
Your mawmaw looks like someone i'd love to have a cuppa with! Sweet video and projects!
I loved the two of you together! So sweet.
Stephanie, this was SO much fun! I love your mom and how you 2 interact. I started stitching in the 80's too and stopped in the late 90's, didn't pick it up again until about 4 years ago. The "new" cross stitch IS so much better! Oh, and thank you for the lovely Christmas gift!
You two are a hoot! Gotta say you really make me miss my mom. She's gone for 38 years, I so would live to visit and laugh like that with her. Please appreciate! Adore being together!
This was a blast!! Love your Mom. You are two creative people.
This was such fun! Love your mum and you laughing and chatting was great. Poor Wilson lol 😂 ❤️
A most delightful video! I laughed along with you.

You are so lucky to have such good eyes at 88. Keep going! You're amazing!
Your mom is precious! Some charts from 80’s and 90’s were hand drawn. 😂 This brought back memories of when my cross stitch journey began. Thanks!
It was great to meet your mom. Y’all are quite an entertaining pair! 🤣 I can see from where you got your fun-living nature, too. I’m dying to see “Teaching Dad to Cross Stitch.” 🤣
Your Maw gives Great advice!! I've only touched upon it 30 years ago...Thanks for Sharing 💖 and Thanks for the Freebie 💖!!
So nice meeting your mom! I made so many of the Precious Moments bride and groom I can't remember who they all went to! I know of 2 couples that split and when the bride remarried she had me change the grooms name and date! 😉
Your Maw is such a star 🌟 such a creative soul, full of life and happiness ❤️
Your Mom is precious. Loved your video
I loved your mom. I am 77 and totally relate to what she was talking about when “we” cross stitched in the 80s. And I have so many Precious Moments pieces done also. I hope you have her back again. She is a hoot! Now I know where you get it from.

I had some cross stitch that my daughter did for me in the 90's & I just put it in a dishpan with some dish soap & let it soak...it worked fine! I just put it in the water frame & all. Really enjoyed your Mother & would have loved to have heard her Prom rant!
Your mom is a hoot!!! Enjoyed seeing the cross stitching pieces she made.
I just ordered everything to kit up Sugar Plum Dreams. Thank you for the pattern! I can't wait to stitch Earl and Pearl (horse and cat needed names).
Watching you and your mom was so much fun! Thanks for sharing her with us. I started cross stitching in the mid to late 70's. My projects were few and far between, and usually gifted to family and friends. I started stitching more this past spring, and I am really in to it. I love the patterns and the great fabric colors. Then I found FlossTube and now I'm addicted!! I love watching designers like you!! ❤️
Wow! The Wizard piece is fabulous! I’d buy the Lollipop Guild chart!
Your mom is a hoot. LOVE her and want to adopt her. Great show!
Thank you for sharing your Mom & her stitching with us. What a treat 💕
Loved seeing your mom and the stories she had about family and when she started cross stitching. I too started stitching in the late 80's, early 90's. I never quit, even when raising my children. I would allow an hour after they went to bed and I went to bed for a little stitching. I'm so excited about all the changes that have come about with the variety of patterns and finishes! Liked the bloopers at the end too!
Your mom is so wonderful!!!! Thank you for sharing her with us!!!
I see where you get your sense of humour. Your momma is so cute and smiley!!
Super love Mom. Hope she makes regular appearances. (I had to go back and edit this comment.) Never mind. Mom needs her own show. You can be her special guest once in awhile.
Your mom is a hoot!!! Thank you for filing and sharing this with us. So much joy. Also, so if I contact you prior to 2035….. 🤣😂🤣 Sending love and hugs. xo
I grinned and laughed all the way through your floss tube today as I too am in my sixties and was a cross stitcher in the 80's and 90's. During the snow storm in Texas, I picked this old friend back up and agree with your mom that cross stitch. has really changed. Watching you two interact and seeing your positive and fun energy was thrilling.. stay well and close.. loved watching
You two are so awesome together. I see where you get your talent from, Stephanie! I love the Emerald City; best version I've seen yet. I started stitching in the 80's, but never stopped. Mom's advice on how someone can "fall down the rabbit hole" is so true. If I live to be 400, I'll never run out of patterns. But one's taste does change, so new patterns keep coming along. I look forward to seeing your Mom again on your floss tube; it was so fun. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
The two of you are so charming together,such a treat to meet your mom. She,s got a great sense of humor. Hope to meet her again.
Emerald City is on my to stitch list. That is beautiful!!
Definitely do more videos with your mom. The two of you together are so fun to watch. 😀 My mother is also very crafty and got me started down the cross stitch road when I was in high school.
Your Mom is a hoot! It is easy to see where you get at least some of your incredible artistic talent. Thanks for the Clydesdale and kitties.
Absolutely loved this visit! Hope your maw will visit again!
OMG Your Mom is hilarious. I love her! You'll definitely have to bring her back on some more!
What a fun (funny er?) video to watch…your Mum is precious and it’s easy to see where your great sense of humour and fun come from…loved meeting her and seeing you both interact so well together…I was smiling and laughing all the way through…Thanks Stephanie and Angela…🥰🇦🇺
Thank you for this heartwarming lovely video. Your mom is gorgeous. This one made me smile and giggle along with you. Perfect for a Sunday Sofa day watch while stitching. 🤗
Your mom is delightful! Made me miss mine ❤
What fun with your Mom. I enjoy your floss tube 🤗
I really enjoyed seeing the two of you discuss stitching! I stopped in the 80's and just restarted in June. I fell in love with all the modern styles. If it was all still Precious Moments I would not be stitching! We need to see the anniversary piece when it is finished!
Oh my, I think your Mom looks like my sister and me! So odd feeling to watch! Love your joyful Mom!
This was so great. Glad she got you going in cross stitch!
Loved your gift to us!!! 💞

Thank you for the amazing Christmas pattern & thank you for sharing your Maw! 😍 I smiled the whole time watching y’all! When you said the Precious Moments have magical powers 🤣🤣🤣. Also WOW- Angie…the changes you have made like the super cute pumpkin pie & your Wizard of Oz- that’s such a gift, I think the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Please come back next year (or sooner 😉).
Loved seeing you with your Mom. She’s very cute, just like you. I think you get your humor from her. Gifted mom. Gifted daughter!!
I am actually your Mother’s age and returned to cross stitch this year. I have found floss tube and just love it. I have readily adapted to the new patterns and have started journaling with my cross stitching like I do with my quilting. I must admit, I have a lot of patterns but I do a lot of stitching. My daughter is also starting to cross stitch so most of my stash is suppling both of us. I share very well. Have s Happy Thanksgiving!
LOL this was the best ever! MOM, you can’t say that!
Loved it!! Your mom was great. It's so fun to hear about what cross stitch used to be like. I loved seeing her past projects and her wips. It's so nice that you both can share in the same craft. Thanks for sharing 🌳🐿
Loved today’s video!! Now I want to come hang out with you and your mom. I also stitched in the 80’s and 90’s,(yes I stitched Precious Moments), took a 20+ year hiatus, retired in 2018 and rediscovered my love of cross stitch in 2019.
Hello! What fun! I loved watching you and your mom! I can see you have a lovely relationship! Love the ffo’s and WIPS. Happy stitching!
I loved your show and listening to your Mom tell about the things that she has done and is doing. I want to be her friend because I too have come back into cross stitching as a senior citizen the past year. Her suggestions for those heading back to cross stitching was great. The reason I got back is that I was a quilter and all of the quilt stores, guilds, small groups all went away with COVID. I fell in love with floss tube videos and became quickly addicted. Now I have so many projects going that I know I will never get them finished in my lifetime. I hope that at least one of my daughters will take up the things that I have. Thank you again. I love your show.
I can never have too many frriends!!!
Your mom is just as enjoyable to watch as you are. I loved it.
