Thanks You Birgit 🌸
Another encyclopedia of info .. and inspiring pieces. ❤
Common sense answers…
And yes please no beeswax etc.
I’ve been stitching 🧵 since 74
My intro to Samplers was through JoAnn Harvey, of The Examplarery . And I was hooked…♥️
I’ll be ordering threads from Sophie … they are lovely colors..
Look forward to Ada Davis :-)

I love history, and I found this eisode fascinating. Your video just popped up in my feed, and I am thrilled. I like to let my imagination wander into the sampler and wonder about their lives. Thank you so much. I am going to watch all of the other videos to catch up. Looking forward to more videos. Thank you.

I just love your videos! You are a wealth of information. Thanks so much and stay blessed!!

I enjoy your videos very much! The way you share information on historical needlework and the beautiful pieces you show. It was fun seeing the old needlework magazines today. I actually have an old Home Needlework Magazine that my Mom had received. Obviously, it isn't as old as the one you showed, but they are so fascinating to see. The thing I enjoyed most about this particular videos was your beautifuly bright, sunny space, the gorgeous stitched pieces behind you, and the wonderful bird songs in the back ground. I could have listened to that all day long! Thank you for sharing!

Always so interesting! I love to watch you unframe the old samplers! Enjoying the old needlework and all the interesting treasures you have! I also have all the Mary Beale patterns and newsletters! Enjoying your older posts!

Love the antique samplers. Those young ladies were amazing. Thank you for another great video!😊

Hi Birgit! That you for answering my question about neat stitches. I need to just pay more attention and practice more. I enjoyed so much your sharing of the antique samplers. They were so beautiful. I too have learned much from watching your Flosstubes. I really enjoy them and the magazines! Oh how charming! I have some old Crochet booklets that my mother had collected. I will have to save them and keep them. Thank you again for your wonderful Flosstubes!

I have newly discovered you on floss tube. I have purchased two of your patterns Alice Young and the Flight to Egypt. I have started Alice Young and am enjoying the stitch. I have been stitching since the 80s. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your beautiful pieces.

Thank you for using your time to do your Flosstube videos! I often see something new or look at the old in a different way. Your descriptions of the French over dyed threads today was so informative. Thanks for your perspective.

Good Morning, Birgit! I loved watching your video, and I am slowly catching up on watching them all 🙂. I enjoy learning so many interesting things. When you showed those beautiful threads from France, I decided I just had to have them too…I went to Sophie’s Etsy shop and treated myself to the entire collection 😮🤗❤! You are so right, the price is very reasonable. I can’t wait to receive my gorgeous new threads! Thank you so much for sharing, because I’d never heard of them. Have a lovely stitchy week. 🥰

As a lifelong hand stitcher and needlework teacher (I am your same age), I agree wholeheartedly with you about not using any conditioner on thread. Thread has “memory” thus straight off the spool it wants to curl, same thing with floss when beginning to stitch. The cure is to stitch slowly at the beginning of a new strand to give the thread a new “memory” to remain straight. For proof, just look at how straight the floss is when nearing the end of a strand. Thank you for sharing your great advice and education!!❤

Thank you for doing this video. Loved seeing the antique samplers that you are going to chart up. Hope that they will also be able to stitch them on Adia. I can't see to stitch on smaller squares. Wish i could see to stitch on them.

As you were flipping through the old magazines I saw an ad for Best & Co, which triggered a memory. My grandmother purchased my sister and my Easter outfits from them each year, usually a dress with a matching coat. I particularly remember a blue linen number! Thanks for the memory!

[JoyInMaking]

Absolutely love the Ada Davies sampler; can't wait for you to offer it. Wunderschoen! Keep your videos coming; sie sind so lehrreich!!!

[doraheitsch]

Thank you so much for your generosity! You share and chart your beautiful antique samplers and your lovely work. The herb gatherer is wonderful, I’m on the side of several other ladies who say, leave her in her matted frame, until/unless something happens and she needs to be reframed - unless she no longer gives you pleasure. I’m working on some commitments right now, but am looking forward to starting your pattern…and then buying a historic reproduction.

Wonderful episode like the previous 3. Your stitched girl is just beautiful and the matting just perfect too. No surprise you received first place on it. Your knowledge is very much appreciated and very interesting. Thank you and hope you find a little time to stitch.
