Julliette Brunel Sampler 1876, Ann McFarlan Sampler 1827 

Glad to see you back; your antique samplers are just lovely. Hopefully once you get settled in your new home you will find time to chart those beautiful French samplers you shared today. I am sure I am not alone in desiring to stitch them, too.

Hi Birgit -- so glad to see you back on flosstube; I've missed you. Was so surprised to hear Mr. & Mrs. Feller sold some of their extensive collection. I was privileged, along w/2 of my friends to go on a needlework tour in the UK in 2016 & one of the many places we visited was Upper Slaughter Manor, their home. We were there the entire afternoon & to say we were totally blown away by their collection is an understatement!! It was absolutely stunning!! They were the nicest couple, even made us a fantastic lunch that we enjoyed on their back lawn. It was an unbelievable afternoon & a wonderful memory. I looked up the reason for the auction--some 300 pieces of needlework, along w/some of their beautiful furniture, paintings, potteries, etc--& found out they also sold that beautiful Manor house as they were wanting to downsize. From what I could gather the whole 2-day auction garnered over £1,000,000!! I'm so glad my friends & I had the opportunity to tour their lovely home; it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime tour I will never forget!! ❤

Greetings! Happy to see you again. Glad you're enjoying your new home. The sewing box is stunning. I believe the ivory pieces, that are not needle holders, with the silk ribbon attached, are knitting needle guards. I've seen similar ones on E-bay sites that specialize in antique sewing items. Cheers!

Hello Birgit: Great to see a video from you, you are always a pleasure to see. Please keep us posted on how many threads you did put together, I do like linen threads, they add a very vintage look to a design. Thank-you for sharing the books with us, oh my I want to stitch Julliet, and Ann Samplers, Vive Louis is amazing, love all the Samplers. Oh my, the sewing box is amazing, thank-you for sharing.

Wishing you all the best in your new home!

I’m so happy to see you return. I know moving is all time consuming but exciting to get settled. The antique samplers are beautiful. I love all your stitching goodies. That wooden box is a dream.

Love the sewing box and the books

Birgit, it was so good to see you again! I learn so much from watching you. The books were interesting 😮. Your podcast is beautiful, both sights and sounds. Thank you 🎉

So nice to see you again, Birgit. I completely understand the chaos of your move! We moved to a different city in November and at 74 and 80, are still crawling out from unpacking, but getting close! I hope you find peace, soon! I purchased a 1912 what I believe to be a German marking/darning sampler. It was a somewhat local find...truly a treasure and well preserved. I was trying to figure out what type of thread was used, and After seeing this video, it might well be linen thread! I emailed photos to you just for you to marvel in how sweet (and big) it is! Hugs, Candace

So nice to see you filming again. I always look forward to your videos. Hopefully someday you can chart the French shepherd piece. They are stunning.

Hi Brigit, those antique French samplers are very nice. Have a great weekend.

I really enjoyed that! Will be on the look out for those books & more! Thank you

Beautiful books. My grandmother was from Brooksville, MS - hope you enjoy it there!

Glad you see you back on Flosstube! Thanks for another wonderful video and your recommendation on the Feller books. I hope you will chart those samplers with the houses in them. They're beautiful. :)

So happy you are back!!!!😊

First time watching you! Terrific! I need to watch some of the previous ones. Love your two favorite French samplers. Wishing you would chart them. Thank you!

Hello, Birgit! I love your videos! :) I learn so much from them. (I was traveling for the past few weeks and am now playing catch up) As a certified Bibliophile I will have to add those books to my shelves--much to the chagrin of my husband! He will just have to make me some more bookshelves and maybe add a room to the house! The composition of the Cecile Faguet samplers is what draws me to them. They are beautiful!

Well I was just thinking the other day that I hadn’t seen a video of yours in so long and thought that I might have deleted your channel in error. So glad to see that you are back. Thanks for another great video.

So lovely to see you again. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful samplers and knowledge with us ❤

Oh, I can't tell you how pleased I am to see a new Flosstube from you! A move from Connecticut to Mississippi is definitely a good reason not to have recorded a video. Moves aren't fun, but I hope you find northern Mississippi a pleasant place to live. You're just up the road from me - the road being the Natchez Trace Parkway. Driving the Trace I live about an hour south of Tupelo, and from what you said describing your location you probably live in Tupelo's general vicinity., so maybe we can meet for lunch in Tupelo one day soon!

Hello Birgit, so happy to see you back , I have missed your videos. Love the beautiful sewing box and I was thinking the two ivory things that are joined with string look like knitting needle protectors you put on to keep the stitches from accidentally sliding off when you lay your knitting down.

Thanks for a delightful video, Birgit. Nice to see you back. You had so many pretty things to show. Those 2 French house/pastural pieces are so beautiful (Aout = August). Enjoyed seeing all those lovely Anchor linen threads, pretty colours, as well as the wool thread samples. Loved seeing Ann McFarlan stitched in different floss and fabric. I have this pattern, undecided yet on floss colour. Yours looked wonderful. I'm curious about things going in the freezer. I expect it kills bugs, does it also kill mold? I think the last place I lived had mold circulating. I noticed a musty/stale smell on everything after I moved and threw away much stitchy stuff. I have my finished pieces in plastic bags, and don't know what to do with them. Some can't be washed as have overdyed threads or fabrics. Have you run into any helpful ideas in your business and dealing with these old samplers that come from various locations.

I live in NE Mississippi too, welcome.

Such Eye candy! And welcome neighbor! I'm about a hour and a half west of you, near Byhalia! You are probably going through culture shock if you've lived in Connecticut for a long time. Just be prepared for the long sticky summer coming up. -Rebecca

on amazon they are wanting over 2000.00 for a used Fuller book 1

Hi Birgit, So good to hear from you. I am glad you made the journey safely. I was just skived out but the “bug” in the French Sampler. I have the Feller books. I bought them from a lady in France. Probably paid way too much. I love the Anchor linen floss. Excited to hear what you think of it. Give yourself time to organize. It will all come together for you. Have a lovely week. Hugs, Teresa
