Flosstube 47: What Have I Been Up To? 

Glad your back is doing better! Back pain is no fun. Beautiful finishes and the pieces you have in progress!

Sorry to hear about your back, glad you are up and about and doing all the stitchy things! Looking forward to your next job drama bed and a camp/fireside story! Happy stitching💚

Hi Chris! So sorry to hear that you tweaked your back, and hope that it is feeling much better now. Fantastic finish on American Welcome, and I just love the Brenda Gervais finishes! These are in my stash, and I need to get them done!!! Can’t wait to see your new spring release, the colors look beautiful! I really enjoy seeing your WIP’s progress, and I don’t know how you can finish so many things so fast! I’ll be waiting to hear your next campfire story! Take care!

Hi, Chris! It’s always such a pleasure to see all the beautiful things you’ve been working on, and your finishes, too. Girl, you have flying fingers! 😂 I enjoy all your choices. That Cedar River linen is just fab! Can’t wait to see what you will put on the Spindrift. What a nice surprise to find that Shepherd’s Bush chart…what a treasure! Thank you for another lovely visit! ❤ Meline

Hi feel for you, back pain is horrible, glad you are feeling better. Great progress on your WIPS. Love all of the haul. Weather is the same here in WI. Warm & rainy 1 day, cold & snow the next. Marilyn

Just found you and enjoyed your video so very much! Your DMC organization is amazing and your Plum Street stitching is incredible. Looking forward to your next Flosstube.

Chris such beautiful stitching. Your spring pattern looks very colorful and we really need that after such a dreary and wet winter. Glad your back is on the mend!

Great video! Glad you feel better! Beautiful stitching!

Thoroughly enjoy your video. First time viewing. Greetings from New Zealand

Great stitching Chris. Looks like you'll have lots to show in future videos.

Wonderful video! I’m back and I have a picture this time. Who knows. The gremlins. Take care.

Love all your gorgeous Plum Street projects. Happy Stitching and hope your back starts to feel better.

Everything is beautiful, Chris! You always inspire me. Sorry about your back. I am the same when I’m not 100%. I just close off till I’m better. I don’t like to make a fuss. Happy stitching!

Wonderful to see you back! Always enjoy catching up with you!

You have been very busy stitching and everything is beautiful. So glad that your back has calmed down and you can get back to your usual routine. Your new design looks very spring like and I love the colors. I will be watching for the release.

Beautiful finishes and WIPS ❤ Can wait to see the new release love the colors!

Glad your back is getting better. Love your finished stitching.

Just Love American welcome, threads and fabric. Beautiful! The Symphony of Friendship tree is my retirement stitch.

Hi, Chris! Sorry to hear you had tweaked your backs but glad it is better. Enjoy the crazy spring weather! See you next time!

Love your latest floss tube! Your American Welcome is beautiful. Hope your back is better and can’t wait to see your next video. 🪡

Great progress. Love your 1 over 1 flags. I feel like we could be soul sisters we camp every year and about 6 years ago I bought my husband a metal detector. We don't use it often, but it is fun. We take bets how much in coins we find and if there will be more bottle caps than coins.

Awesome progress on your WIPs, enjoyed. 😊

Jane and Julie gave you a shout out! I'll be back!

Thanks for sharing your dmc organization. I started organizing mine a week ago, and think I will do it over, your way. It looks more convenient. Now I just have them hanging colorways, like all the reds together etc, and it's a lot of numbers to go through every time I'm searching for a specific color. Gotta find that dmc chart 🌞 Love your projects ❤

Absolutely beautiful stitching 🇦🇺

Oh how I LOVE Plum Street!! Can’t wait to see your new releases😀😀😀

Your American Welcome is beautiful! Hope you’re back is fully recovered soon!

I ordered the Plum Street Proverbs 31 because it's my favorite. A few years ago I bought the tote bag and needle minder. Let me know when you start it.

Your finished and works in progress are truly amazing! I live watching your floss tube and seeing the progress on your stitches.

Love all your projects! Great video! I was also inspired by Erin Elizabeth and how she organizes dmc. I’ve been thinking about switching.

I feel your pain with your back. I have 2 herniated disk that love to flare up at the worse time! I stitched Buttoned Yule a few years ago and made a big pillow for my bed. Love it!

Love the one over one flag that you finished on the Robin piece.

What a finish! American Welcome is gorgeous! I love seeing all of your WIP's. I want to stitch all the Plum Street now too. Can't wait for your spring design, the colors are so pretty, and tulips and daffodils mean spring to me too.

Hello Chris! Just wanted to say that I’m all caught up on your videos, and I love all of the jibber jabber, campfire stories and the tutorials. Keep up the great work!

I enjoy seeing what’s going on in your stitchy world. You have some great projects. Moments before your video popped up in my RU-vid feed, I started Stitcher’s Prayer. Love the pattern and especially the verse.

Your American Welcome finish is beautiful. I have wanted that pattern since it came out and when it was released at market I ordered it. Is there a lot of one over one stitching? My eyes can see 20 count Aida but anything above it looks so tiny and I have old eyes. I never thought about it until you mentioned a one over one flag. The colors you have chosen for your new design are gorgeous. I can’t wait to see what it looks like. You said you don’t usually gravitate towards those colors but you picked beautiful ones that go so well together. I have had that DMC color chart for quite awhile. It is so helpful when looking for the right shade and I use it a lot. I’m sorry you hurt your back. I ffo’d three pieces yesterday while standing up for a long time and my back was toast. I have problems with my back because of crushing a vertebrae in my upper back in 1980 and it comes back to haunt me occasionally, which is what happened yesterday. I’m glad you are feeling better. Back pain is the worst. I missed your camping story but you have told quite a few so taking some time to sort through them is a good idea. I did suggest to you one time,to make something up. You’re a creative person and we’ll never know. Have a good two weeks and I hope your nice weather lasts awhile.

Really like your videos. For your Plum St piece you just finished did you need more than 1 skein for the water. Thanks

Some libraries lend cricut machines!

How do you keep your DMC threads clean when they are hanging up without beginning covered?
