Flosstube 2025 is round the corner: My Plans & Focus WIPs

Hello, my lovely Flosstube friends! 🌟

Welcome to my 2025 Stitching Plans video! This year, I’ve carefully mapped out my stitching goals with a mix of flexibility and determination. Whether it’s tackling my long-standing WIPs like Alternative Reality or focusing on finishes for pieces like the Maiden of Tubbataha, I’m embracing a balanced approach to enjoy the journey, not just the finish.

In this video, I’ll share:
🧵 My focus WIPs for 2025 and their progress plans
🧵 A sneak peek at my strategy for balancing stitching time
🧵 Plans for a few thoughtful new starts

Grab your favorite cup of tea, get comfy, and join me as we dive into my 2025 stitching plans! Let me know in the comments which projects you’re most excited to see progress on. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the bell so you don’t miss any updates!

I used one of my full coverages as a travel project for awhile, so it’s definitely doable if your setup is simple. I love the idea of you making progress on your Paris piece on the train. I think if you end up liking the method you’re trying on your deer piece, you could do that method on the Paris piece. Cuz not having to deal with parked threads or frequent thread changes could make that one much simpler to work on. Just an idea! 😊

Yes, pls, up close & personal for Evening in the Park. These large projects hold so many memories. I can remember where I was & what was going on during the tenure of my large pieces🎉

Evening in the park is absolutely beautiful! The sparkle from the beads is stunning!!

Hello Teresa
I have been watching not from the beginning videos
But let's just say over 6 years of them lol😂
I love watching floss tube videos and tends to watch alot of are US friends as I'm a new cross stitcher and want to learn but your videos have wowed me ! I didn't know there were so many retreats in the UK and shops that you have visited across the country.
I live in Worcestershire and don't have anywhere local so I buy online all the time.
I have laughted with you
Cried with you and also loved seeing you grow as a cross stitcher which helps me to believe I can grow to.
Anyway I love watching all your videos so thankyou for taking time to share your fabulous stitching
Sending big toni hugs from Worcestershire ❤

Hi Teresa ! Thank you for enabling the option that allows us to listen to your videos in French!!! I don't know if you did it on purpose but in any case it's great! I no longer have to read the English subtitles while you speak. And therefore I can embroider while watching your videos. It's great! ❤

I'm a new viewer and would love to see Evening in the Park up close. It's quite lovely. I use Markup RXP because it runs on my iPad. Pattern Keeper does not so I've never tried it. I've find that Markup RXP may be a bit tedious setting the chart up but it seems to be more than worth it once you get going. I discovered your videos because I was trying to learn how to park threads and now that you've taught me, I found that Markup RXP can do that. Easily. Happy stitching in 2025!

Omg Evening in the Park is just SO Sparkly! Congrats on the finish!

I would love to see a video devoted to Evening in the Park as you were my inspiration for starting it myself! I have the tiniest of starts but I hunted until I found a fabric like yours and I am amazed at your finish. Just gorgeous! I don’t use Pattern Keeper for the same reason you don’t like it, it doesn’t work on IOS and I use my IPad for most of my stitching - Goodnotes for hard copy patterns and Markup R-XP for PDFs. Best of wishes on your 2025 plans. I’ve decided to not set any rules for 2025 and will see what that looks like in December. Hugs ❤

Evening in the Park is fabulous! Congratulations on completing it. Yes, please do a detailed video on it.

Happy New Year! Congratulations on your finish of Evening In The Park. It’s simply stunning. I’m really looking forward to hearing about your non-parking vs parking adventure. I’ve got three potential full coverage starts to pick from in 2025 and since I haven’t done one before (besides A Peacock A Unicorn A Badger) I’m nervous about the prospect of parking. It looks so complicated! I think the project I’m most excited to see you stitch on this year is Alternative Reality. It’s such a beautiful piece. I hope you’re having a wonderful start to 2025. 💜

Congratulations on Evening in the Park!!! You are the reason I started this😁. I’m currently working on all those trees and lanterns😂- you’ve given me hope❤️😊

[zelkaandherneedle]

🎉Congratulations, Evening in the park is stunning ❤.
To this day, I still don't know how to use Markup R-Xp properly 🙈, so pattern keeper is the winner for me 😂. But for no full coverage I started to use SAGA, and it is amazing. It also shows half stitches, backstitches, and french knots. It works for both androids and apple products.

Ay Teresa yo voto al velada en el parque es super super vello un abrazo❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[beckygrede]

WOW!! Evening in the park is absolutely stunning! Yes please to the dedicated video. Maybe you could do a slide show of your progress pics of it in chronological order so we can watch it grow? 😊 just a thought 😊
Are you nervous about turning it over to the framer? I always have a little bit of a panic attack when putting my stuff in someone else's hands.

Huge congrats for finishing EITP! 🎉🎉🎉❤🍾🥂. I get what you mean about bittersweet - a lot happened over those years and it’s emotional. I’m coming up to 3 years on my own chatelaine and I’ve not even got out the central motif yet 🫣This year I’ll make significant progress on it - I’m determined!

Absolutely yes - please do a separate Flosstube extra video on a deep dive into EITP and how it looks now. Not only does it provide you with a good record and you share it with us - but you’ll also give valuable insight to others who want to stitch it or are currently stitching it and need some reference info for particular stitches. So yes! Do it! 😁

Hope you have all the success you want this year - Happy 2025 to you!🎉

Your Evening in the Park is beautiful. Congratulations on that finish. I have both Patternkeeper and Markup RXP. I had the same issues that you have. I use an ipad for everything, so instead of trying to keep 2 tablets going, I switched to Markup for everything. What I miss about Patternkeeper....The response time on the shortcut for a parked thread is the biggest thing. Also, I think Patternkeeper symbols are clearer. The plusses for Markup to me is that I can put all my projects in one app and have symbol recognition (and thread legend) whether its a paper chart or one that the symbols are recognized. Even though I don't track a lot of statistics, it is really nice to see the estimate of completion that Markup gives you. Every once in awhile I think I might try patternkeeper again only for full coverage. But, Markup always wins out because everything's in one place and that place is my iPad that I use for everything else. Hope that helps.

Evening in the park is wonderful. The camera did pick up the sparkle. I stitch all my full coverages the way you are going to try. Pick top symbol and stitch in that square and go over to the next one or down. If there is too much thread left, I will park it. I find it's faster this way. Happy new year

[SMWBraden]

Evening in the Park is amazing. Many Congratulations! Yes please do an up close on it. I would love to hear all about it.

[haylat]

Congratulations on your finish of Evening in the Park. Absolutely gorgeous. It shimmers with all those beads. It’s a bittersweet finish. I’d love to see a video on just it. What an accomplishment.
I too am putting some of my WIPs into storage. They were causing me anxiety. Just going to focus on a handful of projects and hope to get a finish or two in. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year! Evening in the Park looks amazing 😯 - it's so sparkly!
