Episode 294 Stitching & Finishing Weekend SD 480p 

Fred’s one lucky pup to have a friend that excited to see him!!!

Thank you for keeping me company as I stitch. Enjoyed your flosstube very much.

You are definitely a master at figuring out prompts...9 rabbits on Hawk Run Hollow! I don't think I could keep track of all you do! So much stitching...all beautiful. And great finishes, too. And that project bag..I said "Oh wow!" out loud on that one! There's nothing like getting together with friends and stitching together is even better.

Wonderful finish parade. Thanks for sharing your amazing stitching. So glad to see Cocoa and her antics. Such a sweet puppy.

I so enjoy your videos! Your cross stitch projects are so lovely. You're a beautiful cross stitcher. I listen to you a lot while at work, your voice is so soothing, then I go home and watch them again and take notes of projects to add to my wish lists. I'm glad you had a fun and productive girls trip. Have a lovely week. ❤

So many wonderful finishes! I love the friendship that Cocoa and Fred have - so sweet! Happy stitching! - TaMara

I’m so glad you had a wonderful time in South Carolina. I live very close to Lake Hartwell and it is a beautiful area. Coco is such a sweetie pie. I enjoy seeing her every time you share her with us, Thank you. I’m gonna tell you touche’ on Small Gift ,it is stunning well done! I hope that your husband is truly on the mend and I will remember him in my prayers. 😊

Your projects are lovely. Spring quilt looks amazing. I can't wait to see what it looks like with the backstitch

Dena, Im so glad you had a wonderful weekend away with your girlfriends. You ladies were definitely on a mission with all your FFOs! They all turned out gorgeous beyond belief. Loved all of them but I think your project bag was my favorite. The fabric choice was perfect! I wanted to learn how to sew this year so i could turn a lot of my smalls into pillows, banners, etc. Now after seeing all of yours, makes me want to do so even more. It was a smart idea to set aside a whole weekend for FFO projects. You're making great progress on the other stitches as well. Hope you have had another great week! 😊

So many beautiful FFO'S amazing. Small gift is absolute gorgeous. It sounds so good, to be with stitchers. Have a great weekend and happy stitching!

The plum colored sweater you were wearing on the 26th is a beautiful color on you. As always, loved seeing your projects.

Wonderful finishing and stitching. 🪡🪡🪡

Great finishes...and yes, getting away with stitching friends is the best!

Dena...thanks for the visit with you and your friends...it was lovely and the finishes were so nice...Cocoa is adorable...best wishes ❤❤

Your weekend looks like you had a great time! A lot was packed into it. Everyone's FFOs are so pretty. The Paula Vaughn piece with the stitched quilt is just stunning. And, I'm glad to see your angel done; you've worked so hard and consistently to finish her. I like the oval on the bottom, too, instead of squaring the snow up. I hope hubby gets well soon. Winter illnesses just seem to linger. Cocoa is so cute! Happy stitching. ❤

Wow! You blew me away with this video! Small gift against that dark blue fabric is so sharp. It turned out beautiful. I loved all your FFOs but that project bag…. Let me just say if it goes missing you may want to direct the police to some old lady’s house outside of Philly! It’s the most gorgeous project bag I’ve ever seen! I remember when you stitched that. Harley’s little tail… way too cute! And cocoa getting to Fred’s house just made me happy. This was quite a wonderful week for you!!

Hi Dena Love all of your Finishes. They are so pretty. I especially love the Easter Pillow. This is so so pretty. Love your WIPS - you are making great progress on Nativity - this is so pretty. I love the Quilt WIP - I love the Design of this. You are making great progress on all of your WIPS. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️

Hi Dena. Congratulations on all of your finishes. You ladies did a phenomenal job. Cocoa was getting so excited to see Fred! Can't wait to see what you finish next. Take care.

I was thrilled to get to meet you and all your stitching friends at Panda's. I have wanted to meet you since I first started watching your videos. As you know, I have been watching for a few years. I don't always get to comment, but I love to see your beautiful stitching and all the progress you make. The Madame La Fee piece is going to be gorgeous, but I had no idea it was going to be that large. I do love her window scenes. Your finishes and those of your group are just beautiful and so glad you got so much fully finished. It was good to see Coco and your husband on their way to Fred's. I hope your husband feels much better now and glad he got some much needed rest. Our main job for the pets is let the dog out , let the dog in, repeat. Hope you will return to visit us and hope I see you at a retreat this year. You are welcome to mention my name, Instagram, Flosstube, anytime. Happy Stitching! Dottie

Great video Dena. Really enjoyed hearing about your weekend getaway and seeing all of the things that you and your friends fully finished. Love, love, love your project bag that you made. You’re always so good at picking out matching fabrics. You’ve inspired me to think about turning some of my old finishes into bags! Thanks for sharing. Take care and happy stitching. 🧵🪡❤️

I’m so glad that you were able to have such an awesome weekend. Your finishes were fantastic. I’m inspired to get busy on my box of unfinished projects. Your small gift turned out so pretty on that navy fabric.

I love all your finishes but especially the project bag with that beautiful fob!

Another wonderful video!🧡🌸🧡

Wow!!! I live less than an hour from Hartwell!!!! Enjoy watching all your progress!!! ❤

I have really loved seeing your progress on Small Gift. The girl in that design reminds me of you. Congratulations on your big finish!

Perfect project bag! Great video!

Sounds like a fun field weekend. Your FFOs are all just lovely.

Those patterns that have no grayed out area sure are taxing on the brain sometimes. I don't know why designers do that.Your projects are beautiful.I love your Stitcher's Days of Christmas. I know you are grateful you didn't have to go out in the cold. Today it was 70 degrees here tomorrow its suppose to snow. I think Mother Nature has lost her mind. LOL Hope you have fun at the lake cabin. Happy stitching

I hope the dentist visit wasn’t too stressful and painful! You girls were busy and productive! What a fun outing! I love the project bag you made as well as the one made with the I am a Needlesmith finish. Although yours is beautiful! Cocoa is so cute! Can’t wait to see your updates next week. Hope you’re feeling better 😊

What a great weekend!

Hi Dena I was thinking of you all afternoon as my husband and I are on our way home from Florida and wished I could have arranged to meet up with you somewhere but it was not to be. I love your flosstubes you are so inspirational. Everytime I watch and listen to what you do I want to get busy with the many projects that are my WIPs. Keep up the wonderful work. Pennie

Beautiful finishes from your weekend. Love your project bag. You have inspired me to get working on a few I need to do!

All those finishes are so cute! I love the needlesmith piece 😻 I definitely need to get some of my pieces fully finished too, thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Dena, so many inspiring pieces, you have me wanting to pull out my tomato charts. I'm in the land of smalls right now. Birds and more birds. Mostly crows. Hugs to Miss Cocoa, she is such a love bug.

Miss Dena!! So wonderful to see you and all of your lovely finishes! It looks like such a productive weekend! Cocoa at the end of the video was so cute! I did see your other video where you show how to make the fabric tight on the rolaframe- thank you! I have bookmarked the video for future reference. I hope the crown went well for you.

Congrats on your finishes. - Hope your dental visit passes quickly.

Hello Dena your small piece is beautiful. Love the colours in Spring Quaker. My March start is Autumn in Hawk Run Hollow. I admire your Spring HRH. Shall e back later . Happy stitching

It was such a pleasure to meet you and the entire group that came to stitch night. Hopefully we will cross paths again in the future. ❤

Cocoa says hey Mom you pay attention to me and forget those people you are talking to. Harley is a cutie . My Min Pin Tucker was talking to Cocoa when she was barking in the car. LOL

Beautiful stitching and congrats on your finish of Small Gifts, I agree with you on not doing all the snow on the bottom as it truly wouldnt have added anything to the piece. Your FFO'S were absolutely charming! I have never done a flat fold, I need to do learn that technique. Have heard or seen JT lately, hope he's doing well and not working too many crazy hours.

Dena another great video! Great job on your finishes everyone's turned out beautiful 😊 Haven't heard much about your son lately. I hope he is doing well.

Great project bag with cross stitch insert. I've been wanting to do one, but I'm nervous about it as you were ... someday I will make one!

Oh the retreat sounds so great, such fun.oh your small gift is sweet! Love the snowflakes! Lol oh oh cocoa was hmm mum what’s that smell on your lap when you got home. Lol when we go to our son’s allie is always oh oh you smell like gandolf. Lol Well, I was busy cooking and baking today. My back was so sore so at 730 I sat to stitch, got 320 in this eve. I don’t count but this was easy counting.lol now time for bed. Oh that bag is fantastic, what a great job! The zipper pull matches so perfectly! I have made envelope ones, i have added a cross stitch but last time I did a zipper was grade 9 and we both know how long ago that was😂. Remember ‘ Put on your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it’ ? Boy I am really telling our age lol Love all your ffo’s . And so glad you had a great time. Hi Harley! Nativity would be a hard stitch for me I think.

Lake Hartwell is such a beautiful area in South Carolina. I live a couple hours northeast of it, an hour and a half below Charlotte.

Love your stitching! I started MFE “Quaker Medallion" while I was listening.

Love your flosstube videos.

Been thinking about you. Had cataract surgery and will again the 29th... How did you see to stitch afterwards? I am using the uncorrected eye to stitch, but seriously can't see up close with my fixed eye. If all I wanted to do is watch TV, I'd be set! But stitching...you didn't seem to miss a beat. I will have a hard time waiting 5 weeks to stitch again. Hopefully it won't be as blurry with 2 eyes. Your stitching is delightful as usual. Your strategies for accomplishing so much are amazing. I had to opt out of a few goals this month, but did get a lot done. I've enjoyed meeting local stitchers, and more are joining us over time. It's such a joy to share love of patterns, colors, and interests! Flosstube has been an unexpected blessing allowing me to meet other stitchers in real life. Happy stitching!

That project bag is beautiful....love it!! All the finishes are so nice..don't you feel accomplished when you have a pile of FFOs? Good luck with your crown!!

I think Haunted mansion came out great! I am so glad you were able to finish it. I love Mill Hill projects and I am about to start Jingle Bells on fabric. Listening to your dilemma about the beads has been very informative, as this will be my first time not using the perforated paper. I just love when you talk about Cocoa. I was wondering if she has an Instagram. she sure has some awesome adventures!🐾🐾

Love your video. 🌻🪡🌻

Your videos are so wonderful! You bring me joy. Nosey, non-stitchy question, what does the bottom of your sweatshirt say? "If you don't....." ~ Amy

Hi Dena, so much accomplished and beautiful finishes! How do you do the single stitches on The Gift? I tried pin stitch but with ending the stitch it all came out. Looks like you had a fabulous weekend. Hope your husband is feeling better.

That cool

Dena what episodes are beach babies in I have watched 192 of your episodes. You are my cross stitch friend . Sorry this is irrelevant to this video. Just received beach babies kit

I made a house

Great to catch up and see your progress as always, and wow what amazing finishing as well, especially that project bag.
