Absolutely fabulous video! I look forward to many more! I loved your ornament parade and thoroughly enjoyed seeing your samplers and the history of the girls who stitched them. Just beautiful!!!

Well done. I love story about your nan teaching you to cross-stitch how adorable. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week.

I am so glad I came across your video today. I don't have much stitching time anymore, nor much time to watch flosstube. But we have had extra days off for the holidays, so I try my best to take all I can get in that time!
Your stitching AND finishing is beautiful!! And I love the samplers! I didn't have any desire to stitch a sampler years ago, but its all I want to stitch nowadays! I've recently gotten hooked on Blackbird designs and have a dozen or so kitted up for if I ever get some "me" time again! Lol. I went back to work after a 6 year hiatus last February and I would love to be sitting at home stitching my days away once again. A few hours on the weekends just isn't enough. And Christmas is my favorite to stitch for. I'm currently stitching a Shepherd Bush stocking for my husband. I've stitched 4 of them already for the grandbabies and have grand plans to stitch one for every family member that I possibly can. LOL. May not ever happen, but I will love giving it a good go at it!!
Look forward to your next video! Take care, Ruth.

Your'e adorable! Those children are just too honest, but you have to appreciate their willingness to help you with your first video! The video was excellent. I am sure that they will agree that you did a spot on job. Very entertaining and informative and you have great talent and creativity. Love all the samplers that you shared.

Such pretty designs! I have a sampler called Hannah Sanderson 1849 from Dutch Treat Designs. They provide 2 different color ways for it, one being in the darker, more true-to-the-original palette & the other being a lighter interpretation that was created by Needleworker magazine when they featured it in 1998. It’s a gorgeous sampler!

[carolreid]

Thank you for your video and how lovely another UK stitcher. Pam and Steph on just keep stitching gave you a shout out . It is so wonderful to see the stitching community growing like this. I will certainly head over to your website as I love these samplers and look forward to many more floss tube updates. Stay safe and well.

Hi. Michelle (Momma Loves you) sent me and Brenda and the Serial Starter also recommended your first post. I am so glad they did! I enjoyed seeing your lovely work and the original samplers. I can't wait to hear your laugh!!!

[sylviapage]

Beautiful needlework. Thanks for sharing.

[lizinedin]

I really enjoyed seeing the samplers and hearing about the research you have done on them. Amazing. Thanks for sharing

[marymac]

I just found your Flosstube and I'm so glad that I did. I love your pieces and your "how I got started stitching" story. And you lived in Barrington! That's just a bit down the road from where I live now. We have sun, snow, and cold at the moment here. It's a pretty day. What a small world this is, eh?

[triciab]

Well done, Christina! You are a natural! Your children gave you the best advice. I love all your ornaments, beautiful stitching and finishing! I have really enjoyed watching your reproduction journey. Love the ones you have chosen. Please share again as soon as possible. You are a joy to spend time with, xo, Tricia preb409
