Dear Luda, so happy to see that you are stitching what you want and that it is helping you to be calm. Wonderful to hear that you have been able to see your family in the Ukraine, it is so difficult for us to imagine what has happened. Hoping that all is well and that progress with happiness is available to all of your loved ones. Your stitching is beautiful, as always, I strive to stitch as well as you. Take your time and film when you can and do not worry about how much or how little you have to show. We are so happy to hear from you, hoping that you find peace and happiness once again. Sending many warm hugs and prayers for you and all of your loved ones from sunny Arizona.

Oh Luda! This is happy mail for me! You are very inspiring. I'm so glad that you are able to share your time and talents. I'm a process stitcher that loves to admire and pet progress in my pieces. The growth is definitely part of who we are and what comes from our tedious projects. Although my stash is grand, I still have dreams of owning pieces like Bucills Dana's Roses. Your work is amazing. I would love to have you as a stitching buddy. :)

Wonderful to hear that you all are safe. Thank you for your post!

Have been thinking about you and your family. Glad you are doing well and getting a little stitching in. Don't apologize for not doing a video. I understand you are going through a lot. Take care and your stitching is as always beautiful.

So happy to hear you are ok i can’t possibly understand what you are going through but know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You are my favourite by far in the cross stitch world of floss tubers.

Your WIPs are so beautiful.

Hello, Luda. It is so good to see a video from you. I have followed you for so many years. Your work is exquisite. I am so sorry for what is going on in Ukraine and for the emotional stress you and so many others endure from this. My name is Sherry, and I am from the U.S. in East Tennessee. One of the WIPS I am currently stitching is Scenic Farm from Dimensions.

So glad to hear you are all safe. God bless .

Lovely to see an update from you Luda!

So happy to see your video!

Glad to hear you...know you're safe

Liebe Sani, du hast sehr schöne WIPs und machst wirklich sehr gute Videos! Es tut mir sehr leid, dass es dir gesundheitlich gerade nicht gut geht. Bleib stark und versuche dich auf die schönen Momente zu konzentrieren, wie die Vorbereitungen für deine Hochzeit oder ein Finish. Lass dich nicht runter ziehen. Ich drücke dir die Daumen, dass das alles nur eine Phase ist und es dir bald wieder besser geht! ❤

So happy to see you. I keep up with you on Instagram. Take care. I'm from Washington State, USA. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

So happy you are alive! I love when you talk talk talk! I watch you when I am stitching and love to hear you talk. What about your friend in the beautiful hi rise apartment with the beautiful stitching and her view out the window. Is she ok?

Luda you are back!! So happy! Please I love to hear all about your stories and how your family is doing. I have watched you for like 4 years now. Did you bring all our cross stitch to Brussels? You have so many beautiful pieces. In my my thoughts and prayers. Again welcome back!

Thank you so much for posting your video, Luda. We all just want you to be safe and hope that your cross stitch makes you happy in the most difficult time. You are missed!

You do great videos, hope you feel better Luda

Am so glad to see this post come up and that you are safe. Lots of traveling it sounds like. I love hearing and learning about your experiences with cross stitch included. Amazing work as always and how you get all your xs so neat!! I am in big city Colorado USA. All my stitch friends are online...Flosstube etc.I consider you as one of the best. I do have knitting friends. I do check your Instagram as well.🤗🥰

I was so excited to see your video this morning I live in Arizona in the US. You have been, are and will always be an inspiration to many cross stitchers across the world I started cross stitching when I broke my kneecap in 2019, but I found your channel earlier this year. And yes, I fell into the Dimensions “rabbit hole”. I now own about 15 kits have 5 WIPS. You are so encouraging. I pray that this non- sensible war is over soon and that you can return to your home in Kiev and be reunited with your family in Russia and your sweet little dog. Blessings to you and your family. Thank you ❤

nice to see you back I hope you get to go back to your home very soon and this horrible war ends keep stitching please stay safe and your family

Hi Luda! My mom and I are so so happy that you made another flosstube! You are still our favorite flosstuber. ❤️ You have a lovely calm voice that is wonderful when we are stitching. Dana’s Roses is soooo beautiful! Your crosses are always so neat! We love that you show your work so well and close up, so we can see all the details. We live in the the north of the Netherlands, so we are country-neighbors right now. 😉 My mom and I are both stitching on so many WIP’s. I also have Sarah Daws from Hands Across the Sea Samplers, but haven’t started that one yet. I am mainly working on The Rose and the Giant Pear and on Jane Hopkins (with the called for flosses). My mom is mainly stitching the Pilgrim by Long Dog Samplers. And we are both stitching the SALs from Autumn Lane Stitchery: my mom is doing The Dark Queen of the Earth, and I’m making The Dark Queen of the Sea. But we also have so many other ongoing WIPs, too many to mention now. And then I’m also crocheting and knitting and gaming. I could live for a thousand years and still not have a moment of boredom. We wish you and your family good luck in these hard times and the best of health. We’re already looking forward to your next video! Love and hugs, Hennie and Ankie.

Lovely to hear from you again. Happy to hear you and your family are safe, have been thinking about you so much and miss you and your wonderful stitching. Please keep the videos coming even though you feel you haven’t made much stitching progress, we all love to hear from you🪡🦋

I'm glad to know you are safe! Your projects are as beautiful as ever! Hoping the best for you and your family and an end to all the chaos.

It was so nice to hear from you. I’ve been worried about you and your family, and praying for a Ukraine victory.

Hi Luda! So glad to see your beautiful stitching & hear that you & your family are keeping well. The honey bear Is gorgeous & its probably better to have stitched on the larger count of fabric at such a stressful time. You're too hard on yourself! Stitch at your own pace, & for your enjoyment. 🌹 Just love the Dana's roses, are people downloading the chart online? I cannot seem to find the kit on ebay. I love the different colours around the roses. I hope you're able to get some more rest now & catch up on sleep. (Take a break from the news!) I find switching off & putting an audiobook on with stitching can be helpful. You could try audible or join the local library with your son - they might have an online library where you can download them for free. Good luck with the French lessons! I wish I had spent time learning it in lockdown so Its easier to watch French films & tv shows. Take care 😊💜🕊

Thank you for posting Luna. We worry about our stitchy friends. Happy to hear your safe. I can not even imagine what you have been through. I am from NY. How nice that stitching can unite us no matter where we are. I love your work, its beautiful. Keep the videos coming. I do enjoy seeing what you are working on.

Love to hear from you again. It’s just not about cross stitch on here. We all care about and everyone from Ukraine. We watch aghast far from you (Australia) and only hope and pray it will be over soon. Take care.

Oh Luda! So glad you’re back. So glad you’re safe! I wish this ugliness did not happen to the most peaceful people of Ukraine! Such a horrible, venomous man! God has a plan for him. I love your stitching! Incredible how much you get done! The full coverages! Oh my gosh! But the last piece!!! The florals! That is STUNNING! Thx for sharing. All the languages you’ll know! That’s a sign of true intelligence to be able to continually translate in your brain like that. Come back soon. You are missed❣️

Thank you for giving us another video to enjoy. I always enjoy stitching to one of your videos. Wishing you and your family and the happiness you can find in this terrible time.

Luda, it’s so good to hear from you. I am happy that you are stitching again and doing okay.

What a treat to see a new flosstube from you!!! Thank you so much for the update and showing your progress. I am very interested to hear more of what you have been through in the past months if you ever decide to share some of it with your viewers. You are such an inspiration to me.

❤❤❤

Can't wait to see what you finish next! Love & prayers for you and everyone

Hi Luda! I am so happy to see that you are well. I am from Portugal 🇵🇹 and I started to watch your videos just before the war started. I was really sorry for you and all Ucranians. I loved your videos so much that It made me want to stitch as well. I am now an addicted to Cross stitch, and all started because of you. While you were away from the videos I decided to go back and watch all your videos even some in your language that I didn’t understood, but they made me company while I was stitching. Now I almost feel like if I had met you personally, it’s weird 😂. I was really, really happy when I saw that you posted a new video today. Please take care and keep stitching.

So good to see you! Congrats on all of your finishes and great progress on your WIPs! Love Dana’s Roses :)

I’m so glad to hear that you’re ok! I’ve thought about you off & on. Keeping you all in my prayers.
