Welcome to my channel where I share my love of primitive colonial style in decorating and cross stitch. You will find two types of videos, those labeled "FlossTube" which include my stitching projects and "Feather Your Nest" that focus on my home decor using my needlework and primitive colonial antiques and collections. Thanks for stopping by and visiting!
Your videos are always a special treat. I love seeing your decorating and backgrounds as you have a special knack for capturing the primitive look. We have had a lot of tree damage too in the last couple years. I'm glad you got to spend quality time with your grandsons too.
I love watching your videos, Christy, thank you so much for sharing your lovely work (and your beautiful backgrounds!) I truly envy your creative eye for decorating with prims. Can't wait to see your finish of Little Birds, it is going to be a stunning piece - pretty staggering stitch count though! Well, since you have enabled me to purchase several of Lori's patterns I better get stitching! God bless you!
Good to see you again, so sorry about the storms, it is always sad to have to lose a tree, 60feet is a tall tree. I love your crow, oh my gosh she did an amazing job on the crow doll,so cute, Christmas in July is so much fun so many sites to see and what people are stitching for Christmas. Congratulations on you stitching progress, I like changing up colors on Bittersweet’s design. Love the hanging piece, great idea to hang it on the ladder back chair,wow you have been busy with needle and thread, nice start, can you tell us I your next video,where you bought the duxberry fabric, not sure if I spelled Ii proper. Love watching Rhonda and Drew, yummy new stash, beautiful progress, I am a patron of Teresa’s Patreon I am also on tier four.
I stitched the Bonnie’s bittersweet a few years ago. It is absolutely one of my favorite stitches that I’ve done. I like the idea about hanging Crosstitch from a ladderback chair. I’m gonna have to make a fall design and do that. As for your little birds, think about doing a wall hanging like you would for a quilt. Get some coordinating fabric and make a border around the cross stitch and hang it from a dowel rod.
Doin’ my homework and drawing in all your fun ways of making little vignettes. This will be the first Fall I’ve had a real house to decorate for 3 years and I’m looking forward to it, but need those little ‘Kristy’ ideas in a different setting. I’m so glad you do these with slow picture changes so I can drink it all in and look at the details before the next delightful picture comes up.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I see so many things I want to stitch. I love that stitch on the wool bag! It is such a clever way to finish! Thanks for sharing this fun and inspirational video!
Love your videos. Your decorating, crafts, stitching all speak to me. Wasn't planning on a new start, but just ordered Cordelia Crow and I plan to stitch her as a stand-up. Thanks 😊
Very much enjoyed this video. I love Bonnie's Bittersweet. I decided something similar for Sampler September, I plan to finish a sampler I started rather than start several new ones. Yours will look great when you complete it. I make changes to every pattern and they are usually errors I can live with.
I always enjoy your videos. Yours our one of my very favs!!! I absolutely love your decorating style and your finishing inspiration! Thank you for taking the time to share with us!
I mean no disrespect, and I am not a lawyer, but is that Crow doll a copyright infringement on the Not Forgotten Farm Pattern of the same name, Cornelia Crow? It is adorable. Again no disrespect to anyone, just curious.
I love the finish for your ladder back! I might have to snag that idea! Im stitching Thanful Harvest as well. Having a hard time staying motivated to finish it because I started it 2 over 2 threads and not liking it as much since I primarily stitch with one thread!
Hi there and thank you!! Little Birds is my most fave sampler of all - so far! The way designers crank out new charts, who knows how long it will hold first place. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you for another lovely video!!! I so appreciate your honesty in how you are thinking of changing what you choose to stitch. I do love your BBD Bird sampler & I like that you are considering finishing it in a different way. I hope you will share it bc I would like some new ways of finishing too!
Hey, my cross stitch and decorating Queen!!…..I need to re-re-rewatch your decorating videos, it I’m also thinking others may have a challenge that I’m working with…..I was given a lovely antique 12 inch round dough bowl. I was and am so excited….BUT I just can’t seem to pull it off like you do in your decorating. It’s not lack of little pintucks. It’s the little stuff you would need to fill the bottom with so they don’t all slide down. If you feel like it, could you share your thinking on how to get them to look so awesome in your home?
@@Qwert12378 that’s a great idea! I haven’t seen Tammy before, so I’ll visit her channel. Now that I’m focusing on using my dough bowl, I see things that might look fun for different seasons. Can’t wait to see what Kristy comes up with to show on her next video.
I’m delighted to see a new flosstube from you. You look great, very refreshed and ready for more stitching! That prim bird doll and stitched piece just melted my heart. Gosh I adore this community.
Thank you, Kristy! Your videos are always a real treat. I kept pausing to take notes! Your Little Birds sampler is gorgeous. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Hope to see you soon.
Just discovered you this week. The Saltbox Stitcher mentioned you and your primitives and I had to take a peek. I became an instant fan. The Cornelia doll and cross stitch is adorable.
I don’t even know where to start! First of all…YAY for Little Birds! I have everything kitted for it, but I haven’t started it yet. You are the only person that I’m aware of, who is this close to a finish. It may be one of my top 3 all time favorites! I will be cheering you on in September! Second, yay for 40 minutes! It was great to spend “extra” time with you. 😊 Third…your finishes…😍. And that doll…adorable. I hope to snag one eventually! Fourth, Lori Rippey is my favorite designer. Her Lucy Mack is my number one favorite sampler. I finished the one you’re currently working on last year. I need to start the one that you have framed behind you. Fifth, your finish for your ladder back chair. Brilliant. And that box…oh my…I have prim stitchers envy. I have the bittersweet pattern. I had forgotten about it. But you have made me think I need to finish it right now! I’m sure I’ve forgotten something. But I may just have to watch again! Happy Stitching! ❤
Thank you very much!! I have another Lori Rippey pattern I started a few years ago with a blue and mustard house, I really should get it finished. She is a favorite. Bonnie's Bittersweet is really a pretty quick stitch and fun, you will like it. Enjoy!!
Hi Christie, I was so happy to see your new video come up. Your stitching is so pretty and your party Pattern choices ate right up my alley. I am a Theresa No but Patrion fan also. Love her designs. I'm getting ready to work on linen for the first time, wish me luck! I have worked on 18 count aida, evenweave, and and lugana but not linen. Happy Stitching.
It certainly sounds like you’ve had a busy summer with riff, trees and now siding and painting, yikes! I’m sure when the last of the painting is finished you and your husband will be able to relax and enjoy. Cornelia is a wonderful stitch and then to have a special doll to match is so fun. Bonnie’s Bittersweet and Tansy, Yarrow and Rue are both perfectly prim projects. Finishing Tansy on wool was a great idea. Little Birds is beautiful and I’m sure you can figure out the error in the project. Have a wonderful rest of summer and I look forward to seeing your next video. You’re going to have to do a little review of your stitching room when you have it arranged the way you want it. Love the black cabinets that are behind you. Take care! (Now I’m humming ‘High Hopes’ from the Disney movie Jungle Book. 😂)
Hi Sandy, it has been a busy summer but that's ok, it hasn't slowed my stitching too much. I will share my sewing/stitching room when its complete, hopefully soon. Thank you for visiting!
Gorgeous projects !!!! Love your decor...so homey and warm. I am a progress stitcher, am working on several things and if one gets too close to a finish I will start something new, procrastinate, but will eventually FFO the one I temporarily shelved. Crazy !!! Stay safe.
Your projects are beautiful! I love finishing things in different ways too. Keeps it interesting. I love your Little Birds. I’ve stayed away from it because of the size but I may have to get that one. Happy stitching sweet friend! ♥️
Kristy great idea for high hopes! Mine our dreams😂 Love your crow doll adorable ❤ I am with you on working on more than one project.I think linen & scraps gave you a shout out. Taking down trees is no joke & very pricey. Thanks for sharing & have a great week.❤As always a wonderful video.
Boy howdy was the tree removal pricey - but necessary in the long run. At least, we won't worry about it falling on the house anymore, so it is worth it. Thanks for watching!
I love your stitching style! I agree with stitching the smaller charts, but I've always admired Little Birds! I know you will love it when it's completed! I definitely need Bonnie's Bittersweet! Thanks for always bringing me inspiration!
Kristy, I love your videos. That crow doll is the cutest thing! I had to pause the video to see if there were any available, but unfortunately, there were none. I did, however, get something else. I love seeing what you are working on. I love primitive too. Thanks for sharing. Pam Miller in Alabama
Kristy, you always give me ‘high hopes!’ Love the finish of Yarrow Tansy and Rue - very versatile! And as far as Little Birds? You Go, Girl!!!! Love Ya!
I happened to be lacing Bonnie's Bittersweet for a frame when you showed your finish! I just love that piece! Your finish sounds great...mine is kind of boring, but I was tickled that a used frame I had fit it perfect. My September plans are just to stitch fall...mostly smaller projects. Your crow doll is adorable!
I love Cornelia! I may have to buy that pattern, but I probably wouldn't stitch it this year. Your bittersweet stitch looks so much better than the pattern photo. I'm working on a lori Rippey pattern while watching you.
I always enjoy your videos....and yes., I have quite a few big girls going and they have mistakes too. Seems after stitching for almost 50 years I would learn to count.lol But I tell myself that I am the only one who knows there are mistakes. I am working on the Winds of Autumn and I will make that huge strawberry to display for fall. Fall stitching is really my favorite stitching...the warm colors and the thoughts of fall are nice on a hot summer day.
