Flosstube 228: Getting Ready for July! 

Hope you enjoy the Holidays and hopefully you can rest, relax but enjoy all at the same time. Love all your progress on your projects. Happy Stitching.

Thanks for the update! I’m glad you get to enjoy a month of downtime now. 😅 I’m with you in wanting my pillow to be a “brick”! 😆 Regarding Stitching Shelf, I think you made the right call. That design doesn’t seem to fit your stitching style, in that you really do like to see major progress and regular finishes, even with large pieces. That one can’t really be finished in any sort of timely manner without spending most of your time on it. That being said, you could consider picking your favorite vignette and just stitch a couple pages of the design. I would recommend cropping the pattern you have over their QS versions, because those will be larger. OR, you could just get the puzzle and content yourself with that! It’s a lot of fun to put together. 😁🧩

You had a very busy June both personally and for your job. Give yourself some grace and take the time to recharge those batteries 😃. Wether it is crossstitching, gardening or decorating with your parents. Chill and give yourself 'me' time👍. Bossy breeches here lol. See you Sunday, enjoy the Tour de France🤗🇬🇧

I hope you have a relaxing, peaceful, recharging month of July. I love the summer montage piece. Thank you for all you share.

Love seeing your progress and all your beautiful stitching. Thank you for sharing.

Everything looks beautiful! I’m excited to see Cat Alphabet. It is such a beautiful piece! Happy July 4th! Happy stitching. Hugs.❤

I think they changed the dates on the Tour de France because the Summer Olympics are in Paris this year, with the opening ceremonies on the 26th of July. I always live seeing your WIPs and hearing your plans. You are amazing! I wish I could be as organized as you.

Hi Carolyn Love all of your WIPS - making great progress on them. Take Care & Happy Stitching ❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵✂️❤️☕️🐾🐱🐾☀️❤️

Awesome video. U were one busy lady. Ur projects r so beautiful. Congratulations 🎈🎉 to the winners. Happy Stitching 🪡❤️

Hi Carolyn! I hope you were able to get some real good sleep! You had a great June.....it's better than zero stitching :). Glitter Village is beautiful! Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Oh the sleep thing….counting is really hard when sleep is so elusive so you saved yourself frogging upon returning home. You will get things done, I am quite sure. Take care.🦉🧵🌞

Looking forward to all your progress. Have a great week with all your time off!

I hope you get some rest and loads of stitching time in the month. Happy Belated Canada day and Happy Early 4th of July!

Looking forward to your flip throughs Carolyn. Thx so much 🌷🌺❤️💕

Hi Carolyn. There's no place like home!🌈 Brave of you to put Stitching Shelf away, as you don't have time for it now. ⚘️

Thank you so much for that squirrel chart.

I love the piece you hate to work on! Sorry. The birth announcement looks great. The Summer piece is so much more pleasing to me than the Spring one for some reason - I am really cheering you on there! Since I just resumed stitching this year I will plan to choose a patriotic piece to work on next year and pick it up on the patriotic holidays next year. I hope you enjoy your month off. 😀😎💐

The flower birth sampler is fab! I did it for my grand daughter. I used 32 ct vintage Ctry mocha and it turned out beautifully. I too stressed the name but it worked out. Those bees went in last. Just great. Great video as always. Kate

I am surprised you got any stitching done in June. Yes, yes, yes.... Cat Alphabet!! Those mice are so cute and I hope you can finish the cat during Tour De France.

Hey Carolyn, so happy to see you today! Happy Belated Canada Day and early 4th! ::big hugs:: Sooo enjoyed watching this video and seeing your new strategies. I think I need to join in on your Winter Stitching in July. I have Kringles that has been my nemesis and getting in 5 hours in him would bring me joy. Hahaha

Sorry to hear you have given up on stitching shelves I enjoyed seeing your progress as I am stitching the piece . In the water looks a fun stitch cannot wait to see the end result. Have a great July and happy stitching

Happy stitching 🪡🧵🥰

Hope you catch up with your sleeping pattern Caroline! 😴💤🥱🥱 🐨👍

You have been busy. Lovely WIPs.

Good to see you again. No bicycle stitching for me. But we do have RAGBRAI here in Iowa. Always in July, starting July 20th this year. Happy stitching!

Hello, Great to catch up with you again. Sorry about your sleep getting interrupted I know I didn't sleep too well at retreat and that was only one hour time difference. Happy Stitching Patty🐈

Hey thanks for the happy Canada day🇨🇦! Haha my high school friend and room mate in university , turned 68 today, ha I wont be 68 till new yrs eve. Remember when we used to wish we were older… sigh. Put the name in now so you know it fits without bees then do what needs to-be done. All looks great! Have a fun month off! TJ designs is coming to our group next week I think.

Enjoyed the visit. Happy 4th! 💜

Looking forward to seeing your progress on Cat Alphabet. And thank you! I have not moved lol, you got the right address.

You have a lot of plans for July honey! On One Nation, you could do some stars then put in a few states to break it up. I've had a difficult time getting my plans put into motion so far. I have started Tour de France stitching on Purple Reign though.

Great work on all your pieces. Fun plans for July. I really enjoy the MMC group and the challenges.

Love your progress on your wips. Enjoy your month off. Happy stitching!

My One Nation is coming out and getting some love too!

Tour De France starts earlier because of the Olympics. Most of the cyclists will be, at least, in the road race.

Hi Carolyn ❤ Why don't you section it out? Christmas Dinner. I think it would go faster, what do you think? Rest up 'cause if you don't you'll get sick again. ❤🎉 Take care ❤

A question please Caroline - does the summer 2024 Just Cross Stitch edition have the next chart for Hummingbird Garden by Carolyn Manning? (Third chart in series of four) thanks! 🐨👍

❤❤❤❤
