Blackbird Designs make my heart go 💗💗💗! I’ve enjoyed watching your videos over the past few years. I have not been here from the beginning of your channel, but it’s been about two years I’ve watched! Your color conversions are always so unique and make the project shine from a different light. Thank you for bringing us into the “stitchy” side of your life.

I love to watch Sally and Michelle on flosstube too, so many in this flosstube community have a big HEART, I lot of stitchers have started to stitch for Christmas and I see SANTA, is proving to be as popular as ever. Have a great week.

Congrats Leigh on your 3 years of flosstube. How lucky are we the audience to be able to enjoy all the lovely stitching. Thanks for taking the time to provide us with stitchy eye candy. I really want to try doing a Long Dog sampler and the heart chart is really pretty.

Thank you so much for the shout out, so kind ❤

Kids were being gremlins but was able to squeeze in your video before bed. Congratulations on your Griffins! That persimmon fabric is to die for what a beautiful beautiful colour 😍

I would love that Long Dog chart or that beautiful Blackbird Designs (heart) one - I added it straight to my wishlist after I saw you stitch it. Stunning.

Happy stitching!

Congratulations on your 3y flossiversary. Quinto Acuto is looking amazing and I can't believe how much you had stitched within just 2-3 days. I know someone who would definitely love the Lizzy Kate Santa. And thankyou for the flosstube recommendations!

[zandizigler]

Santa has a big heart and never fails to deliver, Enjoying your channel.

Happy Anniversary. The colors you chose on your UFO are beautiful. It's hard to start over but you would probably never finish it if you hate the fabric. Looking forward to seeing your new start in 2023.

Happy Flosstube Anniversary. You have totally enabled me over the last year since I found you, I now have sooo many WIPS! The Griffins look amazing.

[susanradford]

Thanks Leigh for another great flosstube. The finish is fabulous. When you said you only had about 5 of the creatures to do, I laughed, because to most people that’s a lot. Wonderful start on the Pointed Fifth. I love LDS and have about 4 on the go! Thank you again. Happy stitching.

Love your new LDS sampler colour palette. Looks very interesting, especially with the ombre effect.

Congratulations om 3 years Leigh. Thanks for sharing another great video. Love the griffins, the finish looks great, I really like the colour combination of your new start and would love to stitch a Long Dog sampler one day. Hope your dad gets better soon and you have a week of doing all the things you love.

First time watching your floss tube and love all your beautiful work. Love the Santa and long dog sampler patterns, definitely ones I would also stitch

[jacquelineleibfried]

Congratulations on your flossaversity. I so enjoy your projects and company. Hopefully your Dad will improve quickly.

Long dog heart. Another great three videos ☺️ I finally caught up, been in the garden on Sundays when I usually watch you. I have been letting my needles rust. Life right. Oh well maybe you have inspired me and I will stitch this week Beautiful work as always.

[linnalark]

Congratulations on your 3rd year flossiversary. I loved your Griffins piece in particular and would love to stitch it myself.

[thehappystitcher]

Loving the long dog, I see so many stitchers stitching them but the are way beyond my capabilities, your gorgeous colour choices have captured my Heart, I'm going to ask Santa for some lovely coloured fabric.
