Hello, KIm! I really enjoyed your video and look forward to following what you do. THank you for your service to our country. As another stay at home mom (who gave up a small business to be at home), I agree with you that it is quite challenging. But very rewarding and important! I am almost at the end of my 2nd career, my youngest will be 18 next month, but he is a great joy and blessing to us and I am enjoying watching the man he is becoming. I just discovered flosstube at the end of 2017 and started my first HAED last January. It is Spring by RUth Sanderson. I am just finishing up page 6. I love it! I never thought I would enjoy full coverage, but I do. I also fell down the Chatelaine rabbit hole about 4 years ago and she is one of my favorite designers now. I love how beautiful and challenging they are.. Look forward to seeing you again
I just discovered your channel. Loved your first video, and subscribed... Thank you so much for sharing your life story with us, and thank you for your years of service in the Air Force. One of my brothers served in Desert Storm and the Persian Gulf War so I have a sensitive spot in my heart for our military personnel and veterans. I am looking forward to seeing your progress in this cross stitch journey.
Welcome to my channel Jasmine! I love my military family. I've been sharing Air Force stories in most of my videos from Oct 2019 and on...it started as a trip down memory lane because my hubby deployed and then I just kept going. He got back the end of June so not every video has an Air Force story now but I try to include something interesting. ❤
I’m so glad I went back to your first floss tube video because I too am going to stitch the L & L design “The Guardian”. I’ve been stitching for over 20 years, took a 10 yr hiatus and just came back to it in April. I’ve had that chart all this time and now I’m going to stitch it 😊 I’ve had some trouble picking the fabric I want to use but have finally settled on basically the called for fabric. It’s just a matter of getting it on scroll rods and starting. I find it actually quite time consuming to get a project ready to stitch. I’ve got the first week off in September and that’s when I plan to do it. Your WIP is lovely and inspiring to me!
Awesome! I really enjoyed stitching it, despite it taking me so long. Definitely recommend making dedicated floss cards, bobbins or floss bags (whichever you like) for the blended symbols. Don't waste time creating and separating the blends like I did. I used a dedicated floss box for The Guardian but I used floss cards for Camelot Sampler.
Hi Kim. I'm watching you in the new year 2023, 4 years late! I watch from the beginning when I find a new-to-me flosstuber. I won't inundate you with comments along the way, just wanted to say hi and thank you for filming. Your first was a cracker! Great job! ⚘️🤗
I just discovered your channel. Love it and so inspiring! The more I watch the more I find out how much we have in common. I come from a military family (mom, dad and brother) and support the military. I live in Lincoln, NE and Julie at Reflections Framing and Stitching is my LNS. And horses are my life. I used to ride and show but I lost both my horses and with life, just never got another one. Thanks for your service and flosstube! My mom and I also have a flosstube, Cornhusker State Stitchers, if you find yourself scrolling RUclips.
How cool! It's a small world. 😊 I think I've seen one of your videos but will go look for them. I miss taking things to Julie for her great framing skills! Can't wait until we move (hopefully somewhere warmer) so I can be with my horse again. ❤
Yahoo! Welcome to flosstube! What better start than a WIP Parade? I love all of your dragons of course! Looking forward to seeing your full coverage pieces grow. I not care for stitching them much myself but I certainly love watching others stitch them. Wishing you luck with this weather!
Welcome to FT Kim. You seem like a natural. So impressed with all your full coverage projects. While your style is different from mine, I appreciate beautiful stitching. Looking forward to following your stitching journey.
Hi, Kim! I just found your channel through watching Shaun’s channel (Eclectic Reads). Greetings from Louisiana! Thank you 🙏 for your service to our country. 🇺🇸 I am super impressed with your first project! She’s BEAUTIFUL! 🐉 My sincerest condolences on your losses. ♥️ I’m so glad I found you...now I will hush, and watch the rest of the video. 🙂 Meline
Hi Kim! Well done on your first flosstube! You did it like a pro that I wouldn't have even realised you were new if not for the intro/title. Yeah we can definitely commiserate together with our TWs with those blends/backstitch/over one etc. She was the first cross stitch designer that I loved and was a 'super star' to me. Love all your other WIPs especially Moon Hare!! That one is at the top of my list to start. I have the fabric and chart just waiting for the right time. Hope you are warm and cozy!!
Thanks Lisa! I have several other HAEDs with fabric waiting so I know what you mean! Our wind chill today was -22°F so hearing about the heat wave in Melbourne was actually nice! 😆
Excellent video. Beautiful projects. And it’s so awesome to put a face with your stitching in the groups. The insertions were great. And volume was good! I look forward to more and thanks for sharing!
So glad to see a video from you. So glad to put a face to the name I see so much in full coverage fanatics 😊 Love flosstubers that does full coverage and you have a lot of them and I love it ❤️❤️❤️ And also we are both in the same HP house 😊 Loved seeing all your WIPs and finishes ❤️
I’m so happy that you do videos now. Excellent premiere. Oh and I guessed your detention piece beforehand and laughed at myself. If only I paid the same kind of attention to family members. Looking forward to the next. By the way picture and sound were perfect.
Fabulous first video and great to see all your fantastic projects. The full coverage pieces are so addictive I just keep getting more and more.. One of these years I'll finish one.
Aussie stitcher recommended watching you on her latest video and I am so glad she did. Loved seeing all your ffos and wips. Really impressive. I've subscribed!
So excited for this! Thank you for jumping on this bandwagon. It was super great to see all your fabulous projects in something more than stills. :) Stay warm as best you can! Hugs, Happy Stitching, Jessie
I was so surprised to hear the Australia shout out (talking about the weather). Thanks very much it's appreciated lol Edited to add I found your channel on the School of Magical Stitches and Literature group.
I love your projects! I know I would, cause we’re both full coverage fanatics. I’m happy to have found a new flosstube who does a lot of baps. Keep m coming.
Excellent first video, also nice to put face to Instagram name :) I love that moon hare piece, I have one half of it from the magazine, one day I'll track down the rest. I look forward to seeing you again.
That's a big reason why I decided to make a video...I wanted people to know me & not just my projects. I'm not nearly as funny as you but hopefully I'll be interesting! :-)
Hello! I all so glad to put a face to your name. I love your projects; you've got a great variety! I have that Victorian pattern, the one that looks like a scene from P&P. But I haven't started it yet...full coverage scares me. Lol! I'm so sorry about your miscarriages. Your memorial piece is beautiful. I agree that being a stay at home mom is tougher than any outside the home. Preschool saved my sanity when my boys were little. (Now I homeschool, so that's crazy...) Anyway it's great to meet you and I look forward to seeing more from you! ❤️ Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I could never homeschool. I need some space from my family even though I love them. Stitching a piece like A Summer Ball that was designed as a full coverage cross stitch piece is different than an art-converted piece like HAEDs. I think ASB is easier than any Dimensions kit that changes the # of strands and has more backstitch. Thanks for watching! I put your most recent video on my watch list...there's just so many people who make flosstube videos now! :-)
I’d say you did a GREAT job for your first go! You even got editing done - video combining and picture insertion! Go you! :D. Loved getting to listen to you in person and hear about your life and your projects. For some reason, I thought you had oodles more WIPs, although now I”m not really sure why I thought that - maybe because you get so much done it feels like more? I’ve really enjoyed having an excuse to chat with you via the Full Coverage group and now even more time we get to spend together in virtual reality. Hope you make more of these!
Awesome first video. Love that your first piece was a TW! And love love the memory stitch your doing, I also have had 3 miscarriages xo can’t wait for the next one. Happy stitching
Thanks Belinda! Love watching your videos. Miscarriages are a lot more common than people think, and while mine were all early along, I grieve my babies that could have been.
Kim Hollenback I lost 2 early on between Sophie and Iona and William was a twin. In my head I had actually named William twin as we knew that they would be identical twins so named him a boys name. That name has a special place in my heart xo
Hi Kim!! You did a great job on your first video! I am so impressed with all of your full coverage pieces. I always think they're so beautiful, but way too intimidating for me! Guardian is gorgeous, and Guardian Angel will be a beautiful remembrance piece. I've loved Moonhare since I first saw it in the magazine years ago, and have loved watching yours come together on Instagram. You're so close! I'm looking forward to your next video! Enjoy your quiet time. As a fellow stay at home mom I know how precious it is!
Just found your channel and starting from your first video. 25 minutes in and and was enabled to go to HEAD and order the Friends Forever chart you showed. Saw 50% off sale and ended up purchasing 4 more charts.....oops
I'd say no improvements are needed in your video as it was terrific. ... I nearly cried as I could relate to the feelings of being a stay at home mother because I very much felt alone. I spent 5 years of homeschooling 3 children, this is the first year are in a public school as it was too much.... My heart feels for you and the lost of your prior 3 miscarriages as my closest friend went through the same and horrible situations.... It is sweet you made the needleminder as a representation for you and the family while stitching the Angel. ... . I am glad you have a rotation now and have had so much progress. It is amazing to see what you have accomplished, I don't know how you do it while you have 2 children at home. Stitching is my sanity yet these last few months since my 3 are in school, I feel like I can finally breathe and stitch more then ever. Anyways, I'm going on and on. I love your wips, will be looking forward to your postings in our group and future videos. ~*Shana
Thank you for all the kind comments. I have a wonderful hubby who sees the mental strain I get staying at home with my girls so he's great about sharing chores, or playing with the girls. Plus they're 3 & 6 now so they can play without me being hands-on all the time. I still miss adult interaction!
Hi, absolutely stunning projects and stitching. I am also doing moon hare but if only just started mine. I'll be watching to see you finish it. Thank you for sharing Jo
Thanks! The hardest thing to starting your 1st HAED is figuring out the fabic count you like best, and whether you want to do full cross or tent stitch, then it's fun to experiment with parking, 10x10 blocks, cross country or stitching in diagonals. Give it a try!
Welcome to Flosstube! That Dala Horse Needleminder, though!!! Being a SAHM is HARD... hang in there! We are transitioning out of the Navy (hubby retires next year) so I can relate to the military moves. Did you get to shop at Julie's store when you were in Omaha? Someday I'll get there (in-laws lived outside Grand Island, NE).
Yup, I shopped and had Julie frame quite a few pieces for me, plus I had lots of fair entries the last 2 yrs thanks to her arrangement to have entries transported from her shop to the fairgrounds. I never made it to the fair myself because the girls wouldn't appreciate a 4 hr round trip drive. Thanks for the welcome!
Wow, what an amazing first project. I'm a beginner, and it will be a while before I'm ready to tackle something that adventurous. I wish the pattern for The Guardian was still available. I'd love to add it to my stash in hopes that I'd be able to do it justice some day.
I just didn't know what I was getting myself into! 😄 You'll have to keep an eye on stash unload and eBay if you want to find the Guardian. I already passed mine on. Thanks for watching! ❤
@@msufly I'm a pre-beginner. I haven't actually started cross stitching yet. I did start a beginner needlepoint kit earlier today. But, I've watched enough RUclips videos to at least have an idea of what I'm getting myself into. I don't see a copy of The Guardian currently listed on eBay. I've saved an eBay search for all TW patterns, and picked up a couple I did find on eBay that caught my eye - The Castle Sampler and The Egyptian Sampler. I've also been considering ordering Long Dog Samplers Death by Cross Stitch. Even though I haven't gotten started yet I think I'm already hooked. I'm a dog and wolf nut, and have already collected a couple of wolf patterns also.
@@kevinmonceaux2101 very cool! I love monochromatic pieces too so any Long Dog Samer piece would be good...and you can always try modifying them a bit to suit you...just because it's designed in 1 color doesn't mean you can't add more, or crop things out. Enjoy the journey!
Hey Kim! Great first video! Loved seeing all your WIPS! I think I will give you my HAED's and you can stitch them for me. Sound good?? Stay warm if at all possible! Miss you!
Kim, I really enjoyed your video and getting to put a face to the name I see in Full Coverage Fanatics so often. I’m not into dragons and Harry Potter as much as you but I enjoyed seeing the variety of pieces you are stitching. Your editing skills are impressive. You did move away from the microphone at times and we’re hard to hear. Overall it was a wonderful first video and I look forward to many more updates. Kitsey
Thanks Kitsey! I do stitch other things besides dragons and HP but as I said, I need to do more non full coverage new starts so hope to do more of those soon! I'll try to improve my enunciation and speaking towards the microphone...I had already made a note of that when I watched it myself. :-)
Very cool! 😁 My hubby started out as a mx officer too, but then he cross trained to the ops side. Having all the mx experience has helped him though! Nothing flies without mx!
Hello Kim. Thank you for serving. I am also so happy you will be making videos!
Thanks for your support of the military!

Thank you!
I love that you started with a Teresa Wentzler.

Yup, I shopped and had Julie frame quite a few pieces for me, plus I had lots of fair entries the last 2 yrs thanks to her arrangement to have entries transported from her shop to the fairgrounds. I never made it to the fair myself because the girls wouldn't appreciate a 4 hr round trip drive. Thanks for the welcome!
Wow, what an amazing first project. I'm a beginner, and it will be a while before I'm ready to tackle something that adventurous. I wish the pattern for The Guardian was still available. I'd love to add it to my stash in hopes that I'd be able to do it justice some day.
I just didn't know what I was getting myself into! 😄 You'll have to keep an eye on stash unload and eBay if you want to find the Guardian. I already passed mine on. Thanks for watching! ❤
@@msufly I'm a pre-beginner. I haven't actually started cross stitching yet. I did start a beginner needlepoint kit earlier today. But, I've watched enough RUclips videos to at least have an idea of what I'm getting myself into. I don't see a copy of The Guardian currently listed on eBay. I've saved an eBay search for all TW patterns, and picked up a couple I did find on eBay that caught my eye - The Castle Sampler and The Egyptian Sampler. I've also been considering ordering Long Dog Samplers Death by Cross Stitch. Even though I haven't gotten started yet I think I'm already hooked. I'm a dog and wolf nut, and have already collected a couple of wolf patterns also.
@@kevinmonceaux2101 very cool! I love monochromatic pieces too so any Long Dog Samer piece would be good...and you can always try modifying them a bit to suit you...just because it's designed in 1 color doesn't mean you can't add more, or crop things out. Enjoy the journey!
Hi and welcome to flosstube.
Thanks Lisa!
Hey Kim! Great first video! Loved seeing all your WIPS! I think I will give you my HAED's and you can stitch them for me. Sound good?? Stay warm if at all possible! Miss you!
Ha, sure! I'll stitch them up after I finish mine! 😂
Kim, I really enjoyed your video and getting to put a face to the name I see in Full Coverage Fanatics so often. I’m not into dragons and Harry Potter as much as you but I enjoyed seeing the variety of pieces you are stitching. Your editing skills are impressive. You did move away from the microphone at times and we’re hard to hear. Overall it was a wonderful first video and I look forward to many more updates. Kitsey
Thanks Kitsey! I do stitch other things besides dragons and HP but as I said, I need to do more non full coverage new starts so hope to do more of those soon! I'll try to improve my enunciation and speaking towards the microphone...I had already made a note of that when I watched it myself. :-)
You have beautiful WIPS! I Go see now your other video's .
Thanks Christel!
Enjoyed your video! Love all of your wips. I recently started a HAED called Mini dragon charmer by Josephine Wall.
Thanks Melissa! You're braver than I am for doing a J Wall! They're stunning though! 😊❤
Ohh and of course I liked and subscribed! 😃
Welcome Kim! Great debut flosstube! Looking forward to your projects! Watch me on Prom Queen Stitcher! Karen
My hubby is a maintainer,
Very cool! 😁 My hubby started out as a mx officer too, but then he cross trained to the ops side. Having all the mx experience has helped him though! Nothing flies without mx!
@@msufly If it's in the air, maintenance put it there.
@@shandraparker9063 hell yeah!
