Flosstube #1 from Periwinkle Stitcher. A Welcome from Wales. 

I think Brenda and Laura have certainly put you on the map and rightly so! Your work is amazing and you are so easy to watch. I too am a solitary stitcher - my husband and I are farmers in Zambia so live pretty remotely! I feel all the people I watch on flosstube are my friends. Thank you for sharing.

I stopped watching Brenda and Laura’s newest video per their instructions and came right away to watch you! What a lovely job you did on your first video. Looking forward to your next one!

You will be amazed how your comments resonate with so many of us stitchers! ❤

I’m a lone stitcher, too! My bestie taught me how to stitch more than 35 years ago and she doesn’t stitch anymore…makes me so sad. I’m about as obsessed with stitching as you are, so you are not alone! I LOVED your spring display! Your pillows are so adorable. Brenda Gervais can do NO wrong in my book. I love her color palettes and vibe! I found you through Brenda and Laura and I’m so glad I did. You gained another stitchy friend from across the pond! ❤

I, too, am a lone stitcher. My friends I used to stitch with have either moved away or too busy with life. I really miss the fellowship. No one in my family is the least bit interested in my stitching. I am a homebody & can stay home for days and days & be perfectly content as long as I have my stitching, my little dachshund, and Flosstube or an audiobook. Your work is beautiful! So creative! I look forward to more Flosstubes to come!

I'm so glad Brenda and Laura have us "marching orders" to try your floss tube. Amazing projects and such a variety! By all means share your progress with us, we'll encourage and enable each other! You are so great! ❤

Thank you from Russia♥️ You are amazing!!! I was inspired by you)))

Thank you for sharing all your beautiful needlework projects…I truly enjoyed watching❤

I have so enjoyed your flosstube! I also am a lone stitcher - no friends, neighbors or relatives that stitch. You are right - it can get lonely. Anna at Stitch Roadies recommended your site and I’m so glad she did because you are delightful. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait for your next installment!

I am so very pleased that Brenda and Laura recommended your floss-tube. It was wonderful seeing all your pieces that you have lovingly completed. Part of the joy in our needlework is having others that can appreciate the time and love that we put into each piece. Thank you for sharing, and I hope that you have a wonderful trip with your girlfriends!

Love your floss tube! I don’t have any friends that stitch, my only daughter has no interest in stitching so I know how you feel! I am a homebody, happy to stitch the days away. Your finishes are beautiful, glad you shared them with all of us❤️

The RU-vid algorithm recommended your floss tube. And I couldn’t be more delighted! You are a natural! Beautiful finishes, WIPS, and stories! Everything you said resonated from not having any local stitchy friends, being a sable stitcher 😂, not wanting to leave the house. But the Frankie goes to Hollywood story sealed the deal! 🤩 So looking forward to your next video. 😊

I love that Brenda and Laura mentioned you. What a lovely FlossTube. I am also the only person I know that does do cross stitching and can relate to that feeling you get when you want to share with someone who gets it and find it hard that none of your circle of friends can relate. I look forward to hearing from you again soon. ❤

Oh Sian, what a fantastic first Flosstube! You're a natural in front of the camera and your stitching is so beautiful, as is your finishing! I'm already looking forward to your next one and you're going to be a very popular Flosstuber! It was lovely to meet you at the GBSW last year and I'm excited to see you again next year! 😍♥️

So wonderful to meet you! I now have another flosstube friend to stitch with! Hello from Southern California. I am also a solitary stitcher and the time you spend making these videos is so truly appreciated! Your work is exquisite. Yes I too have a gazzilion projects and am also a quilter so completely buried in projects and love it all. Love your embroidery pieces and zoomed right over to investigate the lovely kits. Thanks so much for sharing! Happy stitching!

Hi there! Thank you for your 1st flosstube! I enjoyed very much. Your finishes are beautiful You are not alone, not weird! I think many of us can relate to eing alone and stitch all by ourselves. That is why flosstube are such a treat: a wonderful way to "meet" soul mates and to see marvellous models of the patterns we love. I wish you the best in Corfu & ciao from Italy! Happy Stitching!

Sian, I just loved your first flosstube. Already looking forward to your next. 😊

What a joyful first Flosstube Sian - it was lovely to see you and your stitching. There are lots of us stitchy friends here on Flosstube so don't ever feel you don't have anyone to talk to about stitching! Have a wonderful break and looking forward to seeing you again soon!

So happy to have you as part of the Flosstube community! What beautiful finishes! Looking forward to your next video. Happy stitching!

I so enjoyed your 2 floss tube videos. Your stitching is beautiful and your quilt is incredible. Look forward to your next videos.

Well done! I very much enjoyed watching and seeing all of your beautiful stitching. I too spend days inside and love watching Flosstube videos.

I think so many of us stitch alone, and many of us will never make a floss tube. I'm touched that you have great success with your first video. Your stitching is beautiful and to be treasured. Thank you for sharing your stitchy joy.

Love love your excitement and enthusiasm for your stitching. I feel the same way about mine and also have no friends who cross stitch. I quilt also and have friends who do that, but they are a lot younger then me and still work everyday. Beautiful finishes. Love doing little pillows too! Look forward to seeing more of your current stitching and also your past stitching. Now on to Episode 2.

I followed MommalLovesYouGB Michelle's recommendation to come and have a look. WOW!! I would never have guessed this was your first flosstube; you are such a natural! I'm heading off to video number 2 now, even though it is waaaay past my bedtime.

Oh my, how lovely are you and your stitching!!!! Absolutely loved your video, you’re just delightful! I’d encourage you to share your stitching on IG as I have a lot of non-stitching friends and family that are following me there… They know I stitch and if they love me they know it’s my passion and if they don’t, they certainly don’t say anything negative. In fact, several non-stitching friends have commented and said how beautiful they think something is. So just go for it, we’d all love to see your finishes up close…You have so many gorgeous ones just in this first FT. So exciting that you got to meet Stacy Nash! I’m going to finally meet her in July, can hardly wait! Really looking forward to seeing you again, so come back soon❤ Andrea

Thank you for introducing yourself and showing so many of your beautiful projects. It’s ashamed that postage has gone so high. In June here in the US the postage is going to increase yet again. It’s just dreadful that it costs and arm and a leg but gets slower in receiving our letters and packages. I started cross stitching 50 plus years ago but stopped when I had my two children. Didn’t have any spare time to myself, then I went back to work when my littlest was 2 1/2 years old. Just couldn’t pay bills on one paycheck. Now I’m retired and have all the time to myself. I to really enjoy just staying at home especially in the 7 months of winter we get here in Wisconsin. So in the summer I ran like crazy all over visiting and enjoying the countryside by car. We’ll nap time . Looking forward to listening to you next month. You did a great job for it being your first time doing a floss tube. Never would have guessed it. Take care, Darlene Creuzer

You just popped up on my youtube page and I decided to take a look. I am so glad I did! Your finishes have inspired me. I have been hesitant to make up my pillows or pin keeps even though I am a sewer (and a knitter). I now have hope. I moved 5 years ago and left my stitching community behind. I discovered Flosstube and it has filled that void. So glad you are sharing your beautiful pieces. Looking forward to spending more time with you!

I am enjoying this first video!❤ I stitch alone too and my daughter will ooh and aah over my stitching and enjoy my gifts to her. I love everything you've shown!

Loved your video. You made me laugh when you mentioned how family rolls their eyes. Same thing here. Can’t wait to see more of your finished pieces. Such beautiful stitching. Welcome from Ohio, US.

I have found a treasure in you! Your stitching, decor, home, and you…are gorgeous. I am in Texas and have much the same taste as you do.

What a wonderful “first “ floss tube !! So many beautiful finishes and wips. I too am a lone stitcher and am very content sharing my time with floss tube and my stitching buddy, Sadie 🤩

What a lovely first episode ❤ looking forward to many more!

Amazing projects and finishes! I will be looking forward to more of your videos. Great content.

Fantastic first flosstube and already looking forward to your next! Beautiful work. Well done!!

Lovely first video. Your projects are so inspiring! Look forward to your next floss tube.

I watched Sun City Stitchers floss tube and they gave you a shout-out. I'm so glad they did, I love all your stitching. Can't wait to watch #2 floss tube.

Hi Sian!!! Welcome to flosstube! You are a joy to spend time with and I loved every project you showed!

Great 1st floss tube. Believe me you are among friends and we love seeing your WIPS and your finishes. If nothing else believe me we are all collectors and enablers. Have lovely holiday with your friends and I look forward to your next floss tube....

MamaLovesYouGB Michelle recommended you so I came straight from there to here. Beautiful work and needs to be shared, glad you did. I'll be watching #2 later tonight. Also from a party girl to lone stitcher, I think I should have done this years ago, never been so content. Thank you 🌷

Hello Sian, so lovely to meet you , I’m so glad I have. Your first flosstube is wonderful and I loved all your projects. I live in NZ, we are in the middle of Winter so a good time to “ hunker down” and do some crosstitching. I didn’t know what WIPGO was so looked it up and so glad I did. I love the Stacy Nash Animal Crackers and now want to stitch them. I stitch at home alone as well and happy to be at home, especially now since my husband died 4 months ago. I usually stitch on 32# linen but think I may try some 36# , especially if I stitch the animal crackers. Thankyou for your podcast, I look forward to viewing your 2nd one.💕💖🌸

I so understand being a lone stitcher and desiring community with fellow lovers of stitch art! Your work is beautiful and I truly enjoyed your presentation!

Thank you for taking your time to share all of your beautiful work. Your enthusiasm is contagious and I just ordered Tulip Fields Pinkeep after seeing yours! 🎉

I loved your first flosstube and can hardly wait to watch 2 tonight. And if you are crazy with your cross stitch then im in the same boat. Love to stitch and hate missing a day!!

I am also a lone stitcher. I do have a sister who stitches so I can talk with her about stitchy things but she golfs a lot so she’s often not available to bounce ideas off of. And, like you, my daughters and my friends kind of get that glazed look in their eyes when I try to talk about it so I’ve given up trying. But I’ve found that I’m quite content in my solitude. For my whole life I have done handwork/needlework and it brings me joy. I guess I’m a process stitcher (only learned that after watching flosstube) in that I don’t care much for finishing projects after the stitching is done. One of the recent things that was discussed at my most recent retreat was what you call yourself when you talk to other people (non-stitchers) about what you do with your time. Most people thought the term cross stitching brought negative reactions while needlework or vintage needleworker was thought to be more interesting and, perhaps, more current for today? And actually I’ve really been every kind of needleworker over my lifetime (seamstress, smocker, tatter, French hand sewer, embroiderer, knitter, cross stitcher, etc. I’ve done them all). So I’ve renamed myself. I’ll let you know how it goes! AND, your flosstube was fabulous! Loved it!

Wow! You are so natural in front of the camera. Thank you for sharing your beautiful needlework, this was such an unexpected treat for my Saturday morning. I’ve just returned to cross stitching in my retirement and I absolutely love it. In December I decided to complete a sampler that I packed away in 2003 and now I’m addicted! I’d never stitched on linen before so I’m stitching the HATS little gems whilst working my way up the counts. I’ve just started Eleanor Steele on 36 count and so far I love it. I’m pushing myself because I’m going to the Jeanette Douglas workshop at Fobbles next week and she is using 36 count 🤣🤣. I can’t wait to see your next Floss Tube. Sending you best wishes a a huge well done. x

I really enjoyed your first video. I completely understand the obsession with stitching. I also hand embroider…both are such fun and relaxing hobbies. I am so happy that people want to share their stitching on flosstube so we can enjoy their work as well. Great job!

Absolutely wonderful job with your Flosstube and loved seeing your stitching. Can't wait to see your next video.

Thank goodness I watched The Cable Stitches Flosstube today as they highly recommend tuning into your new Flosstube! You are a delight! Your stitching, as well! I loved every start or WIP you showed. The finished pinkeeps and Maggie Mae were dear. Looking forward to your next visit after your fabulous holiday!

Brenda and Laura commanded that we stop watching them and come see your floss tube stat! So I did. You and your stitching are simply gorgeous. You Go Girl!!!

What a wonderful first Flosstube! 👏 Your stitching and finishing is beautiful. I can’t wait to see your next episode!

I loved your first video & can’t wait til the second one😊 I too love stitching, have stitched going on 40 years. I taught my mother how to stitch, it was her passion. She loved all the miribilias 😊 sadly she passed away 4 yrs so I’m a lone stitcher now. But that doesn’t stop my love for it! Right now I’m working on Autumn is as Joyful by Lila’s Studio. I am having such a hard time putting it down 😂

Your floss tube video is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing your lovely projects.

Great first flosstube I understand not having stitchy friends but we are here and happy to see your beautiful stitching watching from Canada 😊 can’t wait to hear about your trip to Greece

What a brilliant first flosstube. Love all your stitching and your enthusiasm is inspiring. So looking forward to your next episode.

Anna from Stitch Roadie highly recommended your flosstube. She was right, I really enjoyed seeing all your lovely stitching and look forward to your next video. Thank you!

I’m watching your video for the second time! Your work is lovely. After seeing your embroidery from Nicki Hamilton, I immediately went on Etsy and ordered from her! The packaging is exquisite. I felt like I received the most beautiful gift. I haven’t embroidered since I was a child, but dove right into it. I hope you’re able to film more than once a month. You have a delightful floss tube, thank you!

I LOVED your video so much! Please keep them coming. Your work is so inspiring and I can’t wait to see your older finishes as well!!!

Sian, your first Flosstube was a delight. Your projects are stunning. I can’t wait until your next video.

What a wonderful first video - looking forward to the next one!

Good morning from Illinois in the USA. LOVE YOUR FLOSS TUBE.

Love your video!! You are a born natural for floss tube. Thank you for sharing your love for cross stitching with us. 😊

Absolutely loved your first floss tube!!! So glad you decided to share your beautiful work with us. I know how it can be to show someone who really isn't into stitching a finish that your so proud of and they just don't get it.... I can't wait to see more videos from you 😊..... Your style of stitching is right up my alley. I look forward to seeing your next video. Have a great stitchy week. 🩷🪡🧵

What a wonderful video. I too have very few friends that stitch. Your projects are wonderful!

Well done! Thank you for sharing your beautiful finishes and wips. I am looking forward to your next check in with us.

Just lovely 🥰 can’t wait to see what is next

Greetings from Arkansas in the States! Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Fabulous job. Love all your projects. They are finished perfectly. Look forward to your next one.

I am like you...a homebody,I'd rather be home then out & about! I don't have anyone that is the least bit interested in my stitching , not even my daughter who works & has a husband & young son...my hubby is a truck driver so I'm alone all week...I do babysit my grandkiddos but that's it :-) I really enjoyed your video ...your stitching is beautiful :-) I am subscribed & can't wait for more videos!

Can’t wait for your next flosstube! Hurry 😅

Well done Sian! Your first flosstube was very polished and I loved seeing all your beautiful stitching. It was lovely being at the Stacy Nash workshop with you xx

I was watching Brenda and Laura when mentioned you. She said stop watching us and go over and watch Periwinkle Stitcher right away. So I did. And I'm so glad. I love all of your beautiful finishes, and the way you explain and your beautiful home. I know how it is also about our children (I have three grown daughters and one of them lives in England) and how they are happy for us and our passion but they don't quite "get it". Well we get it and we love watching floss tube and seeing other stitchers work. I'm so glad I came and watched and I look forward to your next video. It was lovely meeting you. I'm watching from Québec, Canada.

Sian, I also heard about your flosstube from Brenda and Laura and I am so thankful they mentioned your video. I so enjoyed seeing what you are stitching on! Your little pillows are fabulous and of course, Miss Maggie Mae and Bobbin are so adorable!! I look forward to your next video and hope you have an amazing time with your friends! Thanks so much and happy stitching!

I also spend an awful amount of time alone and I wish sometimes that I have one, only one stitchy friend with whom I can share my passion

Hello Sian, from Mississippi in the USA. Your first video was awesome. When you said you probably spend too much time alone, it made me tear up and hit home, I knew we could be friends. Your handwork is beautiful and look forward to more. I recently deleted my Instagram, because I realized I was scrolling way too much and would rather spend that time stitching because I too have “sable” issues and need to keep busy. I realized I needed to live my life and not spend it seeing what others are doing constantly, but I certainly enjoy flosstube playing while stitching or listening to books.

Welcome to Flosstube. I have immediately subscribed and will be waiting for more.

Loved watching your first Floss Tube! I am a monogamous stitcher who fell in love with 1/1 stitching. In the last 4-5 years I have only stitched 1/1 on various fabric counts, my current A Stitch In Time by HATS being stitched 1/1 on 36 count Vintage Country Mocha 😊. Look forward to your next Floss Tube ❤

It was such pleasure to mee you. Thanl you for sharing your beautiful stitches. Loved your honnest words and your beautiful home. Marine from south of France ( Provence ) 🌻

Beautiful projects! Loved everything you showed. Looking forward to your next flosstube. Cheers from Australia!

Sian: Your work is gorgeous, you are not insane and I'm certain that you've found a devoted audience. You are an absolute delight!

No worries on Charlotte Warrington and your late start. There are lots of us late on that one. Fabulous first Flosstube! Loved all your beautiful work!

Loved your video and all of your stitching. I am a huge fan of Brenda Gervais, Paulette Stewart, Stacy Nash, and BBD as well! You did a great job and I look forward to seeing you again. You have a new friend in stitches in Atlanta, GA, USA!!!!

FABULOUS Flosstube! I’m so excited for more! Show us everything and chat about it all…we are here for it! Have a lovely vacation. You will be ready to get back to all your WIPS, but they will wait for you 😉💕

A great first flosstube!

We are so much alike in our interest in stitching. I spend a tremendous amount of time alone. I am a widow who loves to stitch. And like you I really don’t have anyone to share all of my finishes with. I look forward to getting to know you better through your floss tube.

Just finished watching your first floss-tube per Brenda and Laura. They were so right, what a lovely person you are. Your stitching is beautiful and I love everything and all the same designers that you do. I am also a homebody in the southern part of America. Hope you have a wonderful holiday and hurry back to flosstube. Can't wait for the next episode. Oh, you need to open your WOW box, it's amazing.

Sian! I absolutely loved your first video and am so glad you decided to jump in and share your stitching with us! Have a lovely time with your friends and I look forward to your next episode. ❤

Fabulous video! I totally understand…I created a second instagram account with my flosstube name that is only for stitching to avoid having friends roll their eyes. I haven’t managed to tell people Benton my children that I make videos. I hope you have as much fun as I do. Have a fabulous trip and tell us all about it next month.

Lovely 1st video and I must say, your stitching and finishing is wonderful! I had to laugh at the end where you are talking about not being much of a talker and how you love to stay home, your video proves how much you enjoy your stitching because of how easy it is for you to talk about your pieces and plans. I have 3 girls too and they aren’t interested in stitching either, but like yours, they are in a different time of life. I found you through a shout-out from Brenda and Laura and did exactly what they said to do, ‘pause their video, go find your channel and watch’ and I’m so glad I did! Now I need to go back and finish watching theirs. My soul-mate lives near Falmouth, Cornwall….I hope to be there one day, God willing.

You do beautiful work

What a great first flosstube! I loved seeing all of your beautiful stitching. I'm looking forward to your next flosstube! Be well!

Hello from Mississippi! This was so fun to watch. I’m a lone stitcher who would also never leave the house if she could! You’re a natural at flosstube and I loved seeing all your finishes. Lovely to “meet” you! ❤

Your stitching is beautiful! I’m so glad you started a floss tube! I don’t have any stitchy friends to actually stitch with either, really to do anything, which is a bummer. I pray for friends to come into my life daily. I hope to be blessed with one someday 😊. Have an amazing holiday! That sounds so fun. Don’t worry the stitching can wait, it’s not going anywhere and there will always be more coming lol. I hope your inner circle of people will start to show more love towards your gift. My hubby is always supportive of it too. ❤

Was watching Laura and Brenda. Told the watchers to stop and come over here. So now i am suscribed! Thanks!!

Fantastic flosstube....your finishes are beautiful! Definitely one of my favorites...looking forward to your next one. Thanks for sharing! ❤❤❤

You are a natural at Flosstube! You are delight to listen to. Your stitching is absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait to see what you show us next month. I don't have friends that stitch either. I'm glad to have met you and look forward to learning more about you and see what wonderful projects you do!

You are most definitely not insane, my friends and family think I am insane or boring also-I get the eye roll also, oh well I love my addiction and I’m so thankful that the girls guided me to you-here’s to you and many more floss tubes-much love from the States, OHIO….. U r very talented and lovely to listen to❤

Sian, a friend recommended you to me and I'm glad she did. What a delightful first floss tube!I have two grown daughters, neither of whom is interested in my stitching, but who are very crafty. I, too, will run things by my husband since no stitching friends are close by. I have subscribed and will be on the lookout for #2.

Loved your video and will be watching for more..

Enjoyed seeing your beautiful stitching and looking forward to your next video.

Such a lovely first (of many I hope) video. Beautiful stitches and gorgeous finishes. Please do show us some of your older finishes, they will bring back food memories for lots of us I'm sure

Love love love your video !! I can so relate None of my kids an only one of my grandkids except one xi stitch and she lives in the UK an I live in New York State USA. Watching all the lovely floss tubers not only makes me happy I learn so much . At my age (73) I think start new meet up,must have,floss,fabric,be fabulous,, an want to have fun. Have a great day !!
