CrossStitch projects, large and small, old and new, finished and unfinished! Sheri's Yarn Shop: The Loopy Ewe (no cross stitch - just beautiful yarn and accessories!) www.theloopyew... To contact Sheri: ColoradoCrossStitcher@gmail.com
A friend in cross stitching is the best. Excited to see all your wonderful projects. Your knowledge will be a great asset for us, your flosstube friends.
I enjoyed your first flosstube. I'm in Iowa without power for three days. I was watching you while I was sorting all of my floss in the day light. You became a friend making my job more delightful.
I enjoyed your first floss tube. During this time of quarantining, my cross stitching has saved me! It has been wonderful to spend my afternoons cross stitching. Since Oregon is now partially opened, stitching outside and socially distanced with friends is a true joy. What fun to have a group of friends that enjoy the same stitching.
I would be happy to be one of your stitchy friends😊. I started cross stitching back in the mid 80’s and gave it up about 18 yrs ago when I had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. My sister had told me that cross stitching was popular again, so I’ve been trying to catch up on all the new stuff. I had to laugh when you said you’re ordering patterns that aren’t your normal style because you made me fall in love with two patterns that I normally wouldn’t do; they’re now on my wish list. I’m looking forward to more flosstube videos from you; thank you for blessing my life💕
Sheri I love your new version of death verse and your story. Congratulations on your first video, I loved it! Your stitching is so beautiful you have to frame it all.
Love watching your new flosstube video . Very well presented and your reason for the new flosstube meeting new friends is the best reason . Look forward to the next one
Welcome to FlossTube! It’s great to meet a new friend and stitchy addict. I too started with the stamped patterns in the late ‘70s. Now with the internet I have increased my stash by 100%. Gotta live 50 more years to do them all - I’m 65+ now. LOL
I'm so glad your channel came up in my recommended list! I don't have a stitchy friend in the area, so I'm collecting them on Floss Tube. Your projects are beautiful!
I love having Flosstube friends because I don't have any personal stitchy friends. I am so glad that your video popped up on my suggested list. I look forward to seeing your progress on your projects. Best, K
You had me when I saw your leftover yarn balls behind you and when you said Loopy Ewe. A friend sent me a Loopy Ewe bag and yarn from your shop a few years ago. I crochet, knit, quilt and am back to cross stitch again after stitching years ago. So I could be your friend in a lot of different areas. I enjoyed your first video.
Hello Sheri, so glad to join you as a friend. Thanks to stitchywith42's Shout Out. You are a find. I am a quilter, so when things got shut down and quilt shops weren't open I turned to Cross Stitch which I had done years ago. Oh my, what a change stitching has made since my beginning. The Loopy Ewe was my go when I was doing craft and wool projects. Small world. I don't do Flosstube but the many Flosstubers I watch have helped me get back into stitching. Great video, look forward to your next one. Love how you personalize your projects, that certainly makes them more personal. Your stitching is wonderful and enjoy how you have finished them. Your album of projects on the phone is a great idea, as I have already bought several patterns twice. The mountains of Colorado are great, pleased you could move to your choice. Happy stitching and thanks for becoming a Flosstuber. Pat @craftypaw
Hi Pat! Nice to meet you, and I'm glad you are a Loopy customer, too - thank you! And yes, we sure love living in Colorado and seeing mountains every day. It's a beautiful place to live.
Love your first floss tube. You will surely generate a lot of stitching friends this way. Love your easy going style and all your pieces. You inspire me. Thanks
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your floss tube and seeing the beautiful work that you have done. I love how you made your samplers personal. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. I just made a new cross stitch friend from watching the Country Stitchers and we leave within minutes of each other. We hope to do a road trip very soon.
Sheri, you can’t imagine how thrilled I was when this video popped up on my recommended videos! I have recently gone cross stitch crazy and am always surrounded by project bags filled with knit, crochet and cross stitch. I love all your work and I can’t wait for the next video! (Hi Paul!)
Hi Sheri, it was lovely to meet you today and I really enjoyed your flosstube. I would love to be a stitchy new FRIEND and look forward to seeing more of you and your lovely WIPS. Love the changes you made to Hawk Run, you really made it your own. Laughed out loud at the jerk stitch you made for your husband, so funny. Anyway, keep safe and until we meet again, best wishes, Kathy
Welcome! I love your video. You seem like a total pro! I totally agree that seeing all the beautiful stitching is completely addictive! Keep up the great work!
Oh the memories- I had that very same Hummel book when I started stitching! I enjoyed seeing all your projects and I also wish I could find a stitchy friend!
From zero to 1600 in a week! Congrats on your new FlossTube channel. I am here via Pam & Steph and so happy they gave your channel a shout out this week. Loved hearing about your cross stitch history. Very cool that you were a model stitcher for The Cricket Collection! I’ll have to remember to tell my friend Karen about your channel. I share your regret in having gotten rid of old cross stitch charts. I started stitching in the late 80’s and then took a long break (boy, this craft has changed). I retired in Oct of 2016 and downsized BIG so that I could move to Maine and be with my daughter and grandkids. I gave away a lot of charts, books and magazines. Every time I see one pop up on FlossTube or a stash unload FB page, I get a little sad that they are now gone despite the fact that I may never stitch any of them anyway. I am a process stitcher. I have a large plastic tote filled with finishes waiting to be framed. Someday! Have a great week and happy stitching!
You sound just like me, Kay. I'm also pretty sure I would not be stitching from my older charts (because there are so many new ones I want to do), but I still regret having gotten rid of them. Oh well. Onward and upward!
Sherri, WOW,!! You executed an excellent job on your first Flosstube! I enjoyed listening to all your stories and looking at all your stitching. You sure jumped in deep when you came back into cross stitching. I also cross stitched in the 80’s. A friend I worked with at the phone company, Vicki, taught me to cross stitch. I did several projects as gifts for family and friends. I finally did do a couple for myself. My favorite was Paula Vaughn’s Aunt Verdi’s Porch. I stopped cross stitching as soon as I found out I was going to be a “Granny”. I wanted to make a quilt for my grand baby girl. She is my one and only grandchild. Well, that nasty quilting bug bit me and bit me hard. I have been quilting since 2006 and have made several quilts, wall hangings, purses, totes, project bags, pillow cases and various other projects. I was watching Kimberly from the Fat Quarter Shop on one of her videos on quilting and then on the FQS Flosstube. I went in search of Flosstube on RU-vid to see what it was all about. Watched Deb and Liz, the Country Stitchers and I took the dive back to cross stitch. I have finally decided I can quilt and cross stitch! I can do both! Heck, I’m retired and I can do what I want. I love any kind of hand work. Love to appliqué, EPP and embroidery. I like to have something in my hands while TV watching/listening with my husband. If I am doing handwork, I am relaxed, my blood pressure lowers and I know I will have something to show from sitting on my butt so much!! Oops, I have motor mouthed enough or is is motor typed enough. You’ve got a stitching friend here! Looking forward to your next video. I promise I won’t leave another looooong message.😂😂😂❤️
So nice to meet you, Candi! You're right - you can do all of the things. :-) Stitching is nice to be able to do with others around (like TV at night), whereas I look at quilting as more of a solitary hobby (which is also good and necessary sometimes). I'm glad you're doing all of the things that bring you joy.
What a delightful video! I, too, began stitching in the early '80's..my first project was "Fresh Eggs" by Cedar Hill on Davos (I think)...addicted ever since...also have done a few waste canvas sweatshirt projects..not my favorite method....I have so many Cricket Collection charts..lots of older ones.....all of the wonderful Flosstubers have enabled me to the point where I think I'm in trouble! I have a finishing problem myself...I have several small samplers from the '80's that are still in a box waiting to be framed..and, I knit...not as much as I'd like...plan to change that soon. Well, Sheri, congratulations on your first Flosstube! Always fun to find another stitchy friend!
Ha - I think I have been enabled into trouble, too. But it sure is a FUN kind of trouble. And you should totally frame those samplers from the 80's. That could be a beautiful start to a sampler wall!
I think everyone in the stitchy world is a friend! Thanks for your video! Enjoyed it very much! Can't believe you do 25 ct 1 over 1! It looks beautiful!!
I want to be your stitchy friend!! I LOVED your first video! I too started stitching in the 80's! While you were a college student at that time, I was a young mother. My younger son was born in '83 . I loved cross stitching . But alas, by the end of the decade, my younger son no longer needed naps (my best stitching time!) & my older son was in school & becoming involved in sports, etc. Stitching went by the wayside for all of those boy activities!. I am a nurse, eventually went to grad school to become a nurse practitioner in the early 2000's. I was very absorbed in my career until last year when I retired. I had been knitting since grad school & knew of the Loopy Ewe!! I watched knitting videos all the time & this thing called Floss Tube kept showing up in my feed. I eventually checked it out & resumed cross stitching with a vengence then!! Oh my! Floss tube has made such a difference in the industry!! Anyway! I look forward to more of your videos! feel as though we are already good friends!
Congratulations Sheri, this was the bestestest 1st Flosstube I have ever seen! It is the middle of the night here in Bavaria but I had to watch to the end. I am looking forward to your next contributions. And you are completely right - Flosstube is dangerous. I have been shopping cross stitch accoutrements like crazy. It is such a pity that the postal service (at least internationally) needs a lot of patience in waiting. But I am looking forward to seeing your projects grow! Lovely how you changed very bravely verses and designs to your liking! Love it! Sheri I miss you and Colorado, give Paul my best also ♥
Maria! I was thinking I should message you that I had made a FlossTube. How fun that you already found it! I wish I could sit in your cozy home and cross stitch with you. Maybe the next time I get over there. I miss you, too! xo
Sheri absolutely great first video! I loved seeing your HRH pieces and your sweet personalization. And we have a connection as I’m also an Iowa State grad. And I was born and raised in St. Louis. I rarely get back there though as I only have cousins still there. I’m from sunset hills area. What part of the city did you live in? And now I’m in Florida by choice as it was the vacation spot that became home as well. I look forward to video #2.
Oh, how fun, Carol! I had no idea you were an ISU grad as well. You're right - a lot in common. Did you shop at Yarn Tree in Ames? That was my first LNS and now they are such a big distributor. My parents lived in Sunset Hills (in a neighborhood off Rott Road). We lived in Crestwood, South County, and then Des Peres during the time we were there. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch my first video. Your videos are always an "immediate watch" for me, when I get notice that you've done a new one. :-)
Oh my goodness. Your video was a true delight. Your stitching is beautiful and very inspiring. I look forward to more videos. It is a small world. I live about 50 miles South of St. Louis. My daughter and I were in Aurora Colorado a few years ago. It is such a beautiful state. Thank you for making me smile this cloudy afternoon.
How nice that we have some connections to places, Kathy! Where, south of St.Louis? We used to have a family lakehouse in Bonne Terre. I'd always try to stop in Arnold at the cross stitch store on the way down on weekends. :-)
Hi Sheri, thank you for wanting to be my friend! You are such a natural at doing videos and really enjoyed all your information and beautiful cross stitch. I am new to cross stitch and picked it up during the COVID shut down. I’m a quilter and I watch Fat Quarter Shop FlossTube and decided to give it a try and absolutely love it. So glad to add you to FlossTube! You have inspired me to try 25ct 1 over 1, yours are gorgeous! I live in OKC and have a daughter that lives in CO. Thank you so much and look forward to your next video!
Sheri, your first floss tube was very enjoyable and thanks for deciding to post your stitching process journey. You will have many like minded friends now. Your demeanor is so warm and inviting. Looking forward to the next video.
Yay. Welcome to Flosstube. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Over the years I have enjoyed following you through the Loopy Ewe and now I am excited to be your cross stitchy friend. Happy knitting, quilting and cross-stitching. These are all my favorite crafty things as well.
I am glad that you decided to make a Flosstube. It was so enjoyable. I look forward to seeing more. I am glad to be a friend. The cross stitching people are so wonderful and kind. I watch all of those that you mentioned.
Welcome Sheri to Flosstube. Your pieces are beautiful and I enjoyed seeing all of your meaningful personal and creative changes. I like your approach of making it your own. This is so true. You are a very gifted artist. You mentioned starting a cross stitch Flosstube to meet new stitching friends and I agree. I watch all of the flosstube videos and feel such a connection to you all. I hope one day to meet some of you at a retreat. This would be wonderful. I look forward to your next video stitching friend. Until then, Happy Stitching and stay well!
Hey Colorado Stitcher! I am from Colorado and now I live in FRIENDly Texas. I have been stitching a long time, too. Since the 1900s! (1982) I will look forward to your FlossTube episode 2. I just recently discovered FlossTube during the pandemic shutdown when I had lots of time at home. Keep stitching!
So happy to "meet" you, Sheri! My best friend, another Sherie, is also a cross stitcher who got me back into it about 5 years ago. I also started stitching in the early 80's - mostly Precious Moments back then. I am also a knitter and quilter and one of my VERY favorite shops is Loopy Ewe!!! So glad to have you joining the Flosstube world!
Welcome Sheri from Wisconsin! I am so glad that Pam and Steph from Just Keep Stitchin shouted you out recently on their floss tube! Will definitely be tuning in to your channel regularly 😁
Hello, new friend! I think it’s fair to say your 1st Flosstube was a smashing success! What fun to hear your stitchy stories and see your beautiful stitching!
Congratulations on your first floss tube, you did a wonderful job! Also, it’s never dumb to use silk! It’s stitching heaven. Go for it. Thanks for share your love of cross stitch.
Now that I have discovered your channel, I am going back to the beginning to watch all of them. I had to smile when you pulled out that cricket pattern with the waist canvas jumper. I made that jumper for my niece back in the day. Talk about memories.
So glad I found your flosstube. I can relate to all of your hobbies. I too am a quilter and knitter as well as an avid cross stitcher. Flosstube friends are so special especially in this crazy time. Your work is wonderful .
Enjoyed hearing about your stitching journey and was inspired by your ability to make such successful pattern changes. It’s great to welcome a new stitching friend.
Great first flosstube. I love your Brenda Gervais piece all as one, very inspiring. I hope you meet many people and gain friends through this new venture!
I love the friend pattern. My children... I have 4... had I love you big (I say it and write it a lot) in my handwriting tattooed on their bodies for my 60th... I know what you mean by reading handwritten notes from loved ones brings me joy.
Hello from Sachse, Texas!! Great 1st flosstube!! I felt like I was sitting across the table from a stitching friend. I love how you personalize your stitching! I started cross stitching in 1981 while expecting my first child and stitched a lot until 2000 when my eyesight wouldn't allow it. I kept up with my cross stitch magazines and wistfully perused each project. Then a couple years ago, I had lens implants and now can stitch again!! I am loving flosstube and seeing what changes there have been during my hiatus....flosses, fabrics and designs....oh, my!! 2020 has brought many challenges but has also allowed me more stitching time and for that, I am grateful. I look forward to your next flosstube as you are already one of my favorites!!
You have done a wonderful job on this video #1. Through Floss Tube I’ve made many virtual and in-person friends. People who like the same things I do. So know I’ve got another friend with the same passion! Thanks for showing all your stitching goodies!
Congratulations Sheri on your first Flosstube. I really enjoyed it. I am from Eastern Iowa and my ears perked up when you said this is where you came from. IA State is an awesome school. I’ve been cross stitching since the late 70s early 80s, but quit for many years and started obsessing again in September 2018, when I finished Angel of Hope, a Mirabilia design. You’ve got a stitching friend in me. Thank you for sharing.
So excited to have a new floss tuber to watch! I so enjoyed your first one. It is always great to have a new stitchy friend. I look forward to many more episodes!
You are a breath of fresh air..... Love your first Flosstube! Love your introduction about how you got to Colorado and all your cross stitch. I am a Quilter and decided when I got into Stitching again, I would not have any UFO's in stitching..... wrong! I have so many but love the stitching so much. I have so many quilts and enough is enough. I look forward to Flosstube #2. xxxMaryann
Aww - thank you, Maryann! I'm so glad you found me here. Nice to know you are a quilter, too. Never enough time to do all the things, is there? (I'm also afraid that my stitchy WIP's may increase in number ...)
Hello from a Michigan friend. I've watched quilting videos for several years, now watching cross-stitch since quarantine! :) I used to cross-stitch and have been inspired to start again! One bookmark done, and about four WIPs! I enjoyed your video.
Sheri, fantastic first floss tube!! I enjoyed all your projects. I’m planing to Star BG Summer school series soon. Love it in 1 piece!! Having stitching friends is the best way to multiply the joy of stitching ❤️🌹
It’s nice to have another stitching friend in FlossTube. Interesting to hear your background as a model stitcher. My first book was Gloria & Pat’s Precious Moments: Dear John Book 3 from 1982. You brought back memories of my early years of cross stitching and like you started back up in recent years. Looking forward to more videos!
Welcome, friend, from Miami, Florida🌴 What a wonderful video! Your stitching is beautiful. I see from the amount of comments you won’t have any problems finding friends in this stitching community.❤️
I really enjoyed your first video. I think you are a natural! You can never have too many stitchy friends! Loved seeing your stitched pieces, especially how you personalized your HRH. My first stitched piece was a Shepherd’s Bush with lots of specialty stitches. I was crazy but I learned to love stitching them 😊
I loved watching your first flosstube! Your projects are just gorgeous. I'm definitely a process stitcher. It de-stresses me after work, and calms me down when I feel anxious. Thank you for a wonderful video!
It was a good college pastime, although I never felt like I had enough time between classes and homework to make all of the things I wanted to make. (I still feel that way!)
I think you will have lots of new friends. Just fabulous stitching projects and I love the personalization you've done. I put you on my must watch list. ❤
I'm so happy that Pam and Steph recommended your channel. I subscribe to your philosophy about making a pattern my own and changing fabric and floss colors to make it my own. Thank you for sharing!
Sheri, I thoroughly enjoyed your first Flosstube - you are a natural at this and I look forward to your next one. I recently resurrected a counted cross stitch book from 1981. This was 12 Appalachian Wildflowers done on Aida 14 that I haven't worked on for over 20 years. After finding the Flosstube community, I am being drawn into its web and now have 9 of the 12 patterns done (talk about procrastination). I hope to be a new stitchy friend to you. Thanks for your inspiration. Barbara
What a wonderful video for your first one. Welcome to flosstube! I was an avid Needlepointer since my childhood and always wanted to dabble in Cross Stitch was intimidated by it at first. You tube as been my best friend, taught me the basics of Cross Stitch and then I came across flosstube (Gamechanger). Love this community, I've made many friends here. Love all your patterns and Wips.
Want to know a funny story! I stitched that in 79-80 for my then boy ( friend)! I had it framed for him and as you said, now he is my hubby! We married in 1982! Mine was a chart not stamped! Good memories! His still hangs in his fishing theme office😉. Enjoyed meeting you! You did a great job on your video! Look forward to the next! Love your Hawk Run pieces!
That is funny! I'm going to tell my husband that story. I really thought I was stitching him something fun. (Nowadays he has a better sense of humor about it!)
Hi Sheri. What a great job on your first Flosstube video, I thoroughly enjoyed it! We stitch many of the same projects and it was fun to see your personalizations on them. Houses of HRH has been my most favorite stitch ever. I LOVE what you did with the Brenda Gervais Summer Schoolhouse series!!! I stitched them each separately, but have not finished them yet ... another thing we have in common. You can most definitely stitch over-one using the sewing method, that's what I do! (You stitch right to left, instead of left to right.) I may have to begin my Savior's Praise over now that I've seen yours. It's SO pretty! One of my most favorite red silks is Gloriana's Cinnabar. It's a vintagey rich, dark color with subtle variegation, and it would be beautiful for Harriet Salt. We used to live in Jeff City, MO and moved ourselves to AZ. Like you, books and charts were some of the first things to go, but now I kinda regret that decision. I look forward to more videos from you, Sheri. It's great to have a new Flosstube friend out there. :)
Thanks for the Gloriana color - I will definitely check into that. I'm glad that we have a lot of great projects in common - that's fun! Happy to be new stitchy friends with you. :-)
So happy you joined flosstube. I love all your stitching and I am hoping you will frame your pieces. I am sure you will make many friends now in the stitching community.
I enjoyed so much the visit with your flosstube, thank you. You are so right the discovery of flosstube since being home starting in March has been such fun and a blessing. Plus influence my stash buying lol. I am a very beginner knitter other than dishclothes, love to always have a dishcloth on my needles in a to go bag. Looking so forward to your next viewing. Thank you for the offering of the beautiful gift - I think Beth's designs are amazing, just so tender, and sweet, with strong messages - 'f is for friend', love that sentiment.
Hi new cross stitch Friend! Thanks for the video and welcome. I’m like you- started in the 80s, stopped for a long while and restarted 5-10 years ago. A little knitting and scrapbooking along the way. Cross stitching calms me for sure!
Well hello, it was such a pleasure to run into your first video. I can always use a new friend. Your first floss-tube was great, it was clear, concise, and your volume and content were great. Can’t wait for your next one. 💐Diana
