Thank you for joining me today! I’m so excited to be filming episode 10 and thought it would be a great time to evaluate how flosstube is going for me personally. I thought a lot about 1) what I enjoy most about watching others Flosstubers, 2) why is stitching important to me, and 3) the role stitching plays in our communities.

I’m introducing 🎓Flosstubeversity🎓!
I have always been quite inspired by Karen Combs ‪@karencombsstudio‬ and how she shares some sort of knowledge every episode. She is a wonderful teacher and I love all the information I have gathered in watching her videos over the past year.
The goal of Flosstubeversity is to share skills and knowledge pertaining to cross stitch. This can be types of stitches, to getting the pesky wrinkles out of your linen, to how to embellish, to finishing, history and more. I hope Flosstubeversity inspires you to learn a new skill or share new information within your stitching community. For episode 1 and learning whether the selvage edge Iimportant please watch here:

I have quite a few Nashville releases on my wish list but among my top picks are And God Saw and Wherever There are Birds both by Teresa Kogut, Miss Hazel and Miss Mae from Stacy Nash Primitives and A Crown of Life by 1897 Schoolhouse Samplers....there are so many!! Thanks as always, Arica and happy stitching!

Arica I love your dragon it’s beautiful… hmmm 🤔 I wonder if it has to be because I love Red. 😂 No seriously it’s a beautiful stitch and I would love it no matter what. That group I wish I could do something like that here. Teach Veterans to stitch. My dad and Pops(stepdad) were both veterans in the Navy (dad was in Air force too). 😊

@FibersandFlossCanada 4 месяца назад

You know, I wonder if you reach out to them if they would be able to help set something up locally? I think it’s a great initiative and truly there is SOOOO much healing in stitching ❤️

Hi Arica! Some ideas for your spinning wheel would be Spin to Stitch, Wheel of Stitching or Stitchteller.. I have only preordered one item from Nashville and it is JBW Designs When Cardinals Appear. I would also like to get the cookbook as Primrose Cottage shared their contribution chart and I love it. I too am trying to rein it in as I have so many beautiful patterns to stitch already. I’m excited about Flossiversity and can’t wait to watch your first episode!

I am so enjoying my dragon stitch! One of the things I have done is to let my family know where to donate my quilt fabric should I suddenly pass…the local quilt guild teaches newcomers how to sew and is always in need of fabric. I will now tell them about the veterans project for my stitching materials for the patterns and fabric my daughter is not interested in. I really like your community moment.

@FibersandFlossCanada 4 месяца назад

Thanks for tuning back in, that means a lot to me :) Yoh are on top of it! Now here’s to hoping you get to use lots of your stash before you pass! But if not, the guild is a great place for donations. I’m in canada and I’m going to see if we have something similar for our Canadian veterans, but in the meantime I will donate to the one I shared :) happy stitching 🧵🪡

Love the video, I can definitely see how you have gotten more comfortable in your role on here. Thinking back to watching you appear with Samantha originally. The first time at her home vs now. I also love how calm you are. It’s a pleasure listening to you talk. You and Samantha are similar to me and my oldest friendship Cindy. She’s high energy like Samantha 😂 and I am the low keyed one like you are. You both remind me of us. I guess that’s part of what’s drawn me to both of you. I too live distant from my Cindy about 7 hours. 😊

@AliciaOrtwein 4 месяца назад

I have an Avlea kit too! I ordered Athenian Sunflowers a few months back and plan to stitch it this summer. The hem stitch intimidates me a bit but I am looking forward to learning. I can’t wait for market releases, my favorites are Teresa Kogut’s new Spring book and The Proper Stitcher’s Strength and Dignity.

@FibersandFlossCanada 4 месяца назад

Oh that’s wonderfully! I’m also a bit intimidated by the hem stitch so I will practice on another piece first. Those are some lovely choices from market! Happy stitching 🧵🪡

@lisamanning5187 4 месяца назад

WOWSER your Teresa Wenzler’s are AWESOME!!! That dragon OMG!!!! I like the idea of the wheel of WIPs, however I was kitting things up then starting them then putting them down so I decided to be more focused on 2 cross stitches at a time - I ham working on Buzz Off 2 days per week and then I am working on a bigger piece called Rackstraw Hill. This is all I can cope with as I was feeling very overwhelmed with all of the kits I had put together. Now feeling so much better about it all. Ive only been stitching for about 1 year so newbie on the block LOL. Once I have finished Rackstraw Hill I think Im going to another big one which will be Bellatrix by Bella Filipina - she’s ready to go and she is sitting there waiting waiting waiting….. hahaha

@FibersandFlossCanada 4 месяца назад

Haha I can def relate! It’s so easy to end up with so many kitted projects/WIPs then yes it is overwhelming bc we cannot stitch 24x7! I also choose to limit myself to one knit project and 1-2 focus pieces over a couple weeks then I will put in a nice 2-4 hr chunk on 1-2 other pieces just to have enough to share for a video. But it can get overwhelming for sure. We need to reduce a bit to keep it fun and stressfree! Thanks for watching :)

I think that pattern you showed could be deemed a dresser scarf--smaller than a runner, bigger than a doily. Oy, I'm still narrowing down my Nashville list (there are still things from last year's market I want), but I have preordered Grace Gill 1838 by Little Robin Designs and Dirty Annie's Cat Tarot I and II.

For example I had a question about using a bunka brush in cross stitch - I could only find 3 videos and none related to cross stitch. While my goal is to offer some basic cross stitch tutorials, I would like to focus more on special skills…
