Antique Needleworkers Flosstube #12 

Thank you ladies for sharing my Momma’s pride! I just think the world of you two and the blessing you are to this community 🥰

Enjoyed your cheerfulness this morning. Those needle minders are absolutely beautiful. The person who makes them was very generous to send so many to give away.

Love, love you guys. Sand thank you Rebecca for the needle minder gifts. That’s so thoughtful!

Shellie and Liz, I'm so glad you had an amazing time in Amana! I just love your excitement and seeing all your goodies! I've never been to a retreat, but it sounds amazing!The words you both spoke of encouragement have been on my mind for days now, and I just love that God placed that topic on your heart! We all need to be encouraged and loved! It's got me thinking of taking the time to notice when people need some encouragement and love to help them through their rough days, lonely days, and days of disappointment or discouragement. We even need encouragement in the good days, which helps us to keep striving and pushing forward. Life can definitely be a challenge! Love the needle minders!

As always I loved watching your flosstube! Your makers moment is such an encouragement so thank you for including it! So glad you had a wonderful time in Amana and I can’t wait to see you both there in November! That was so sweet of one of your followers to share a needle minder with nine ladies!

I'm so excited that you both had a great time at your retreats!!! I shall keep watching all the Flosstubers post about them! The needle minder choices are so pretty!❤

Thank you for another wonderful video. Your stories about people i watch, things you bought, and places you visited. Great humor. Thanks for your sharing. 📗💙💙

Anither great video!! Liz I hope your allergies get better soon! Thanks for the Makers moment. Encouragement is so important in this craft. Alot of us have no LNS or close stitchy friends. Watching flosstube and attending a retreat every so often is our onky encouragement! Needle minder

I'm SO happy you are back on flosstube. I've been watching and waiting for my Liz and Shellie 'fix'! The retreat and shops sound wonderful. I would be so grateful to receive one of those beautiful needle minders. Now, I have to re-watch this episode to write down some patterns, colors, etc. Thanks for spending your precious time with us and sharing your experiences and goodies.

So glad you had such a wonderful retreat! I completely agree about the encouragement segment....Liz, I had never tried 40 ct until watching you gals! And I love the higher counts now!! ❤ And yes, truly - kindness is free!! Love this beautiful community ❤️

Shellie and Liz, what fun it was to watch this video and hear your enthusiasm for your retreat. As usual, I needed to pause it a number of times to write down ideas for my own stitching and decorating. I always enjoy seeing the antique items that you have found and your ideas for using them. Thank you!

Hi Ladies! So glad you had a great time at Amana. I sure missed being there!! It was fun to see your photos and wave at the peeps I know! You two are certainly an encouragement to all your viewers. Keep up the great work! Happy stitching til next time!!! 🪡🧵🪡✂️✂️✂️🌷🌷🌷🌼🌺🌸💕💕💕

I absolutely love wool appliqué projects (kits). You two are so lively and friendly - I want to be your friend!!! Love the needle minder cards. ❤️❤️

What a nice Mother's Day stitching and watching you two ladies. Happy Mother's Day!!!!

I have been watching while working on a T-shirt quilt. You are so encouraging. Stitch Con will be my first retreat and I am coming alone so your words about meeting people was helpful. Plus I will be at Stitch Con A so I will get to see two of my favorite floss tubers. I love your Makers Moments. The needle minders are proof of what a giving community this is.

Thank you Liz & Shellie, enjoy your Flosstubes. The retreat and adventures sounded wonderful. Looking forward to Cross Stitch Camp.

Liz, you not being in the most recent video leads me to keep you in prayer for your busy growing family. Know too that your recent foray into quilting is encouraging me to try that with my daughter who has made quilts on commission. Especially since I've been trying to get her to make some project bags because she's already created two fabulous tote bags for me! I am going to my first retreat soon and it is so exciting! Thank you lovely ladies. Your joy and enthusiasm makes me so hopeful for the future of this wonderful artwork! Bless you both. I love the notions box! Needlminder 🪡 🧵 🎉😂❤

A couple of members of my stitch group were talking about your Flosstube last week. I started watching as soon as I got home and have binged all your episodes this week. You two are such a delight to watch, I can’t wait until your next episode!!

Thank you ladies for sharing about your fun retreat😀😀 it was so generous of you to share the beautiful needle minders ❤

Liz & Shellie, what a lovely video and a great recap of your Amana Retreat; wish I could have been in your pocket! You two makers encourage all of us and I am inspired by your stitching & the many other creative endeavors you share with us. Have a great week end and I will see you next time!

Another fun video! Thank you for taking the time to always share with us. Appreciate you!

Well, you girls! Imagine being sent to your rooms! Humph! Giggling is good! Enjoyed every moment with you both, but I think you both need a nap. When I had little ones, the only Mother's Day gift I ever asked for was an uninterrupted nap! Today I got to go to my LNS and meet...Fox & Rabbit, Bren and Karen! They were visiting the Pacific Northwest from Australia and it was a delightful time! Needle minder

Love watching !!! Needle minder

Wonderful update, beautiful needle minder she created, beautiful Rebecca.

Enjoyed watching your floss tube on Mother’s Day afternoon. What a haul! Plenty of stitching ahead using cute needle minders too. Thanks for all that you share with us! Lisa Padgett

Wow, looks like you two had a blast ! No shortage of new projects to do ! Happy Mother’s Day to both of you !❤ needle minder 😉🪡

I love your makers moment. You are both such encouragement for all of us! Love that you had so much fun at your retreat in Iowa.I love all of the stash you acquired while you were there.

I would love a needle minder. I so enjoyed your video and hearing about your retreat you attended, all your goodies, your stitching, etc.

Loved hearing about the retreat. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. The needle minder is adorable.

Laughter is always a result of watching you guys!! I’m headed for my first retreat with Teresa Kogut and I can’t wait! My hubby is coming along, he plans to golf or something while I’m busy making new friends and stitching. Loved all your haul, thanks for sharing. I would love a needle minder. Safe travels and have fun. Kristy

I would love the needle minder! Great floss tube again!

Hello, fellow needle workers! Thank you for keeping me company while I stitch. I was just looking at Etsy for needle minders as you were talking about the sweet gift you received. Thanks for inspiring me to try new things (more than 1 project at a time) and for sparking an interest in samplers. Looking forward to the next installment of Flosstube.

I LOVE that small ironing board. I have my grandmothers old wooden ironing board that opens and is secured the same way. One of my treasures.

Another wonderful flosstube. You are so inspiring and your love of stitching and this community is so apparent. I would love to receive a “needle minder”. Thank you

Thank you for such an inspiring time. We all need encouragement, and it seems to be missing these days in the world We are so blessed to have such a wonderful stitching community and I am very glad you are here. I am not able to use a needle minder often as they always seem so heavy. I am always looking for new makers so I find the "perfect" one! Enjoy the beach! Spent most of my life 20 minutes from some beach or another and now we are in Kansas and I miss the sounds of the surf.

Thank you ladies for the wonderful flosstube! Needle minder

Sounds like a great time was had by all at the retreat 🎉. Enjoy spending time with you ladies. Needle Minder.

Happy Mother's Day! Another great video. Needle Minder.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I know this is lame, but have NEVER had a needle minder. Not a one. Maybe I will be a lucky one out of nine to have one.

Another great flosstube. Love the needle minders. ❤️

I love the button needle minders and those little pillows made out of old quilts.

I am back to stitching after spending the last 20 or so years focusing on knitting. I have never used a needle minder and would love to try on out. So glad I found your floss tube channel!

Thank you ladies for another loving, inspiring and encouraging Flosstube! I always look forward to spending some time out of my day with ya’ll ❤️….what a lovely friendship you have! The retreat sounds like Heaven❤️….thank you for sharing! I hope my daughter and I can meet you both at Stitch Con ☺️….it will be our first time attending. Kinda nervous and excited at the same time….but I know it will be so much fun! Hugs & Blessings ❤️

So glad you have a wonderful retreat and driving! I really appreciate your are time and effort, along to do. Your needle minder is so sweet. Take care🤗🧵🪡

I love needle minders! I love watching 😮

Needle Minder; hum are these made to make your needles behave? 😂 Happy Stitching and Happy Mother's Day to both of you 😊

The needle minder were just beautiful. So enjoy your videos

I spent a delicious morning enjoying your flosstube...needle minder it is! Yours in stitching, Patricia

Happy Mother’s Day 🌸 to two beautiful new stitchy friends! Encourage each other is a wonderful message …. I’ve never been to a retreat but it’s been on my mind a lot. I hope I get to experience that someday. Thank you for sharing your adventures 😊

I love attending retreats, and enjoy hearing about your retreats. Needle minder

Glad you had amazing time at the retreat and shopped til you dropped. The needle minder is beautiful.

So welcome back I just ordered sweetest pattern from red hen thank you the needle minders are so cute!! Thank you for the up beat u tube and lovely uplifting comments.

I loved your video and all the sharing!! Needle minder

Your retreat sounded amazing. I will be attending my first one this October and am hoping to have as good of a time as you ladies have had. I don't know a soul and this will be my 1st one but I am encouraged to go and just have fun. The needle minder extravaganza looks like fun. Keep stitching ladies, you spur us all on.

Needle minder is great. Thank you. Love watch every time!

Thank again lovely ladies, it sounds like you had a blast. I have been to amana quilt shop and had a great time. A needle minder would be so fun and helpful. Stay safe and joyful. Regards Josie from Australia

Liz, I got really restless every couple hours at my first retreat, ( had to get up and walk around!!), so I get you. 👍

Akways a super informative and fun video… my needleminders add such happiness to my stitch projects!!!

What a wonderful episode! Thank You Shellie and Liz! About the reproduction samplers I agree with you about putting others name or even years that aren’t about the current stitcher. I was wondering the same thing and when recently I saw a bid that wrote in the description that the sampler was from 1800, as an expert eye I could recognized that it was a reproduction and that it was stitched just a few years ago, but this make me think that there are many other who aren’t so expert and maybe they bid a earlier sampler thinking that it is ancient just because it has i.e. 1867 stitched on it. Liz, I agree with you, Sheri is lovely and her shop fantastic. Thank you again ladies for the enjoyable time spend in here. Much love from Italy.

It was enjoyable hearing about your retreat, and listening to your makers moment. They sent you a pretty needle minder to give away in your group!

Hi Ladies, Thank you again! Shellie I love your floss choices for Madeleine and love how you are making it your own! I totally love that. I feel the same way! Take care and hopefully I can meet you both in person some day soon. ❤

Hi Shellie and Liz, I need more hours in the day to make all of the projects you inspired me 😢😅. Thank you.

Always enjoy your flosstube and your adventures. I just came back from Stitch North in Brampton, Ontario. My first time attending and like you said they are awesome. I met the most wonderful stitchers and signed up for 2024 to be with my new friends. Take care, stay healthy and enjoy your time together stitching, hoping your grandson is doing ok!😊❤️🙏

So much fun to catch up with you two sweet stitchers, a little late! But I loved seeing you at Stitch Con, and we definitely should have spent more time visiting!!

These needle minder are so cool. Would love one. Thank you once again for a great flosstube

I love watching the both of you and I would really love a needle minder.❤😊Happy mothers day. 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹

Sounds like you have a lot of fun on your Cross stitch retreat. The handmade needle minders are so cute.

Liz, That little ironing board❣️ I had one just like it as a child, but the legs on it were not painted. What made mine special was my mom bought it for herself during WWII years before I was born. My dad was in the Army training to be a Medic and she followed him as long as he was in the US. She usually found a job and rented a room in a private home, and he had to live on base. The little ironing board fit in her suitcase diagonally (she also had a small iron), and that is how she ironed her clothes as they traveled from base to base.

So exciting, lots to see a feast for the eyes. Th e needle minders are very cute x

I love the needle minder! Happy mother's day

So happy you had a wonderful time at the retreat. I would love a needle minder❤

I keep trying to talk the hubs into moving further out West so I can participate in those great events. I am so envious, you all are blessed.❤ I'd love one of her beautiful needle minders.

Thank you so much Liz and Shelley. Watching your Floss tubes always makes me feel so good. It is time away from the hustle and bustle of daily city life. I love your Maker's Meditations. Encouragement is so necessary in life for many things. I started with cross stitching, then started making scissor fobs, then I made a needle minder. I keep making the fobs and minders, when I gift them to people, they love them. Thanks again!

I use needle minders with each project. One can never have too many!

Another wonderful video. The needle minder is pretty.

Both of you are such a joy! I fell in love with W. Wallace!! Guess what I’m ordering real soon! Thank you for your videos!❤

Thanks so much for the Cross Stitch Camp mention! So glad you both are joining in on that. Also, I saw an old child’s ironing board at the antique store today and passed it up. Now I’m re-thinking … 😬 -Sheri

What a fabulous trip and haul. Needle minder I enjoy seeing all the wonderful things.

I would to have a chance to go to a retreat! It sounds like what you guys were doing at your retreat is what we call a "Yankee Swap" up here in New England.........everyone gets to choose a gift, but they can also "swap" their gift for someone else's gift. The last person can choose from anyone's gift. You guys found alot of great stuff - I absolutely love the thread carousels! Such a cute needle minder - nice job Rebecca!

Needle minder Glad you ladies had a great time at retreat.

A needle minder is a fun thing to use. Maybe someday I will go on a retreat. So much fun. have a good week.

Loved hearing about the retreat and seeing your haul. The needle minder is great!

Enjoyable as always. Thank You! Needle Minder

Shellie, I loved hearing your thought-process about making reproduction samplers your own. I feel that way, too, but always felt somewhat "traitorous". I'm working on one now where I am planning to substitute my grandma's name for the original stitcher's name. Can't wait to join both of you at Stitch Con in LESS THAN A MONTH!! It's been forever! ❤🪡

How fun to see all the new stuff that’s out there!

Dear friends, love the joy and encouragement you share with us. Love your antiques sewing items. The lovely needle minders are a wonderful item to add to sewing notions. Look forward to a time when I can enjoy retreats in the future. Enjoy your trip through Kentucky.

Oh, how I loved this video! I grew up in Illinois, and have recently moved to North Carolina. All the places you mentioned are my favorites! I miss going there. Thanks much for sharing! Yes, please enter me in the drawing: needle minder

I have recently discovered NEEDLE MINDERS!! And I love them. Just like I love you guys!! ❤

Thanks for such a wonderful video. I get so excited when I see a new video from you two. Needle minder
