Flosstube ~ Mooka by Nora Corbett. Let’s cross stitch together! 

Samantha I always enjoy watching you and your amazing stitches! Thank you for the inspiration.❤

I do LOVE your zodiac stitch....very tempting....especially the fabric....wow.

The pumpkins on Luna are so so vibrant and gorgeous.

Great projects. What a nice gift of the 25th Mirabilia stitch with everything! Love your Zodiac stitch. Marilyn

I love your 10/10/10 breakdown for 30 WIPs. Great idea! I always feel sadness when I finish a large project so having the excitement of another already in progress makes good sense! And, yes, I think you should finish Luna for Halloween. Happy stitching!!❤

Watching floss tube is sort of self enabling isn't it? It is also a form of self motivation as well. Watching all of your videos (only 5 more to go as I'm typing this) is helping me be more motivated. Keep being awesome!

You have such a great energy in your videos. They're all soooo beautiful, I love the Nora Corbett !

❤❤❤ I love it all ! And I feel you in the 40 count or higher because I have to use a hoop or Qsnap on these fabrics all the other ones I can stitch in hand ! But the zodiac is always soooo impreso to see! It’s nice of your daughter to give you the dates of the zodiac so you can stitch on it in the month. Every time I see I kinda wanna buy it 😅❤❤❤ besos love you friend 😘

Thank you for another great episode. I can see the wisdom in your thinking regarding your WIPS. All your projects are beautiful. I’m just kitting up Autumn at Hawk Run Hollow and looking forward to a start. My Summer Quaker has taken a back seat for the moment but I love that project!

Another great visit. Your WIP's are coming along beautifully. I like that you can work on your zodiac as you please now. Your fancy ladies are so beautiful, I just want to stitch them all, although I have never done one and don't own any, lol. You make them seem so approachable.

Love your progress on your beautiful wips. Happy stitching!

I’m all over the place on how I feel about WIP counts. I like having variety and not getting bored with the bigger ones, but then I don’t spend much time on projects so don’t get the little dopamine rush of seeing significant progress or finishes.

You could do the autumn at hawkrun hollow a 4x4 instead of the 2x6. I always love watching your progress on those wips.😊

Luna looked great on camera!

I really enjoyed watching your video again 😊 Love seeing the progress on your WIPs and really like the fabrics you use 🥰Oh, by the way I bought the pearls' storage box the day after I watched your previous video, you are quite persuasive 😜 Thanks a lot for the lovely video looking forward to your next one 🥰🧵🪡

Samantha, I’m always excited to see a video post from you, your enthusiasm inspires me so much! I just got back from a cruise to St. John, Nb, Halifax, Quebec City and PEI, so not much Stitchy time lately, but now that I’m home I’m ready to get back to Welcome to the North Pole by Primrose Cottage. I started with the SAL in July, but didn’t stick with their sections, so I’m not really sure if I’ll finish in November or not, lol! I think you start Grimm’s Garden, it looks amazing! Thank you for introducing a new designer to me!

Samantha, you are wonderful and so is your stitching and your choices! Loving your future stitch ideas. That Ink Circles piece with the glow-in-the-dark floss and bead eyes! Loved that Trilogy Halloween piece too. Definitely on a light green fabric .😍😍 I have a fabric called "Fern" by Colour and Cotton I could picture it on. I imagined the color you mentioned could be similar. 😆

I absolutely love your videos, your positive energy and basically all your projects 😅❤ And I’ve just decided that my next pixie will be Luna 😍

Beautiful projects. I currently have three Hawk Run projects. The only one on 40 count is Autumn. I like stitching with two threads because I like the deeper color saturation so that is the only project on 40 count. I do a little seasonal stitching with other things.

Love your videos and all your wips! I stitched autumn and Halloween at hawk run hollow as companion pieces and stitched them both with the pumpkins at the top. I made wall hangings of them and hung them on a dowel rod from the pegs on a shelf, side by side. They look great! I wish I could send you a photo, but idk how

I love seeing your progress on Tiny Modernists Zodiac! I'm working on that too and I never see it on Flosstube! I'm so close to finishing off the border. If I waited until the end, it would never get done. I'm working the zodiac as they were released and am finishing up Gemini. I loved all of your WIPs though! You always do a great job!

Always love watching your flosstube. I am currently working on spring quaker. I saw yours and had to have it. I did a middle start so the basket and flowers are almost done. I can’t wait to get to the outside. It’s so beautiful.

I'm of 2 minds when it comes to how many projects to have. Having very few means they get more dedicated time, but burnout can happen, or the project isn't working for ones lifestyle currently. But having tons of projects can lead to decision fatigue, nothing ever seems to get finished, but you also have variety to fit your lifestyle and challenge prompts if you're in challenge groups. I just did about 60% of a massive project this year, got it finished, and am now wandering aimlessly in the "what should I work on now" phase. It feels like I've worked on nothing but that 1 project, despite having finished 9 other things, and I've touched all but 1 project this year so far. So, I made what probably will end up being a terrible decision, but I started 15 projects (so far 😂). 14 are ornaments, 1 is medium sized and 3 of those 15 are already finished. 😇 So I'm up to 23 projects, which feels like too many, but I did at least try to be responsible and not do 15 medium or large projects. And theres 4-5 new starts left to start through new years. But if you don't start it, you can't ever work on it or finish it. So I'm now set with a pile of smalls if I "need" a finish, or if I need a travel piece, I've gotten a bunch of fabric out of the stash which is nice, and I can continue to wrestle with the idea of how many is too many. (I range from 9-20ish projects at any given time.)

I too am growing my wips and had the same dilemma. I started a BAP that I love and don’t want it to take five years to stitch….but I was going to Jacobpalooza and wanted to start one of his larger items. I have never had two large projects on the go at the same time. I did it. I have Under the Stars started and my Owl Stained Glass Window. Now to see how I do with only gentle progress on one while the other is full steam ahead. Time will tell if I am comfortable. Thank you for another cheerful video.

Your Treasure Island stitch is amazing, Samantha!! I had never heard of the nautical rose either, so thanks for sharing! Love seeing the things you are working on! Mooka is fabulous!!! Thanks as always, Samantha and happy stitching!

I believe the flowers in Grimms garden that you forgot the name is the corpse flower

Great video Samantha! I’m thinking about starting a Hawk Run also… hmmmm. I smell a SAL! 🧐

I am doing The Shores of Hawk Run Hollow on a 20-count Aida bc I absolutely cannot handle 40-count.

I had never heard of a nautical rose either till you said it. Lol. That Gold collection kit you got is fantastic!! Your projects are always beautiful as usual!!

What an absolutely perfect gift of the 25th Mirabelia❤ Couldn't think of anyone who'd love more! You are so inspiring to me! Compass Rose, and those are no gentle men 😂 pirates love I so wish I lived near you❤

Always love seeing your videos 😊 I’m so close to finishing the stitching on Minerva by Nora Corbett. I’ve been procrastinating on the last bit because of the beading. I’ve never beaded before.

The treasure island stitch looks stunning and I love the colours of the zodiac piece ❤

Had fun watching your floss tube while I worked on finishing some small fall ornaments. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the lovely show Samantha...always fun to watch

I love the fact that you're actively trying to grow your number of WIPs. Go for it!! Happy stitching.

Thanks Samantha! Totally enjoyed your video and seeing all your beautiful stitching! Happy October Stitching! Lori

30 wips??!! Omg. Yes, that gives me anxiety. I always was monogamy type stitcher. But I'm up to 12 now. And that enough for my anxiety! Lol Your Owl forestry patchwork Quilts is gorgeous! How do you like her floss? I'm working on her Black Vintage Sampler with her threads. I love them. So soft. Can't wait to see what you stitch next. Andnim saving the rest of my summer quacker for January as well. I know I will need it

I always look forward to a new flosstube. Your prodjects are just beautiful. I would definitely start the autumn at hawk run howl. It is just beautiful.

You're welcome! It's great that you could get the circles stitched on the Tiny Modernist pattern so you can skip to the section you want to work on.

Lovely video!!! Your Mira pieces are beautiful!!

All of your WIP's are coming along beautifully. I'll admit, I felt a little faint at the thought of 30 on the go lol ! In my head, I can imagine 12, one for each month, even that for me would be a little scary. As it's you, definitely go for it, can't wait to see your new starts.

I was stitching and had my feet up with a warm cup of tea. I always enjoy your videos. You are so warm and positive! I would love to see your Luna done! I’ve done 25 ofNora’s Pixies but haven’t done a witch yet. I was lucky enough to show off my pixies to Nora herself at the Queen City Retreat last weekend. The exclusive design she did for it is so pretty. Eventually it will be available for free to everyone. I am working on it today while catching up on Flosstube.

🧡🌼🧡

I’m the same way - I love to have many WIPs at the same time - I even made a cross stitch game so I can give myself little tasks for each WIP. Love your page - from all flosstubers that I’ve seen so far you my fav ☺️

Another enjoyable video! You are an enabler 😂😂😂 Is there a number or name on the Rolanda fabric? It’s perfect for that project!

Love your videos ❤. Please be careful counting off the green border on Summer Quaker. I thought that was a good idea also and found errors in doing so 😮

I love seeing your progress. Do you think Stargazer would be pretty on the Picture this Plus fabric you are using for your Zodiac stitch?

HI! If you want to switch to Spring Quaker, I will put my Summer Quaker away and stitch the Spring Quaker with you!!! I started Luna and would love to see yours completed. You can do it!! I was planning on 2023 being the year of completing WIPS - I have 1/2 completed. And then I got off track. LOL!! I need to get back on track and finish my WIPS but they are so big!! I send to pick big projects. So I am trying to finish one - then add a new start.

I was wondering. Do you have any tips for stitching with Kreinik? One strand or two.? I’ve heard some people knot the thread at the eye? Does this help? Also…one more question….do you stitch your Kreinik section after all the other stitching has been done…before beads? Love your energy on your videos…..❤️

Thanks so much for sharing your stitching with us. I hope you won't mind my asking, but what kind of thread do you use for all of your Mirabilia beadwork? The only beadwork I've done so far is with Mill Hill kits, and those use DMC thread. I have one of the pixie fairies and Princess Eliana kitted up but haven't started them yet because I got a bit stuck trying to figure out the beading thread part. Any advice you have to share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Samantha…I love all your projects! I am curious, how many hours per week/day approx. do you stitch? You get so much done! 😍

Hi Did you find all the beads you needed? Are you coming to visit your mom? Nice floss tube.

What do you do with your Mirabilias once you're done with them? Do they have to be taken to a Framer because the beads prevent you from ironing and framing it yourself?

Have you ever had any issues with beads being too crowded on Mirabilia/Nora Corbett designs? I'm stitching At the Met which has some heavily beaded areas, using the called for 32 ct wichelt fabric, and my beads aren't fitting in nicely. I'm getting a little frustrated trying to squeeze them all in. Any tips?

Samantha What type of floor lamp do you use for cross stitch? Thank you Barbara
