I’m a quilter by trade just getting back into cross stitch after a 25yr break due to raising my son…he’s now 30 and with a new baby that I’m babysitting since he and his wife work full time. My first grand baby (girl) and I’m in heaven. Def cutting into my stitching/quilting/crochet time. Love seeing all of your crafty talents. Hey from Arkansas 🙋🏼‍♀️

    Thank you! Yes, that does seem to be the way with adventuring parties sometimes! Our virtual campaigns are still going strong, and I might have grown a little too accustomed to letting the in-site dice do the math for me. Michael is planning on making an appearance in the video next month and sharing his stitching.

    Congratulations on your first Flosstube! I've actually seen that dice pattern on Etsy and thought about getting it because my family are big into D&D as well as other role playing systems. I love all of your snowmen projects; they're adorable!! I just started my Flosstube last week, but I was crazy nervous - you seem so calm!

    Thanks Tamara! The dice pattern was hard to pass up when I first saw it and then easily gave in after being hit with late night inspiration to stitch it into a bag. I have only ever tried D&D but my husband was able to try three different RPG systems during GenCon this year and he really enjoyed the experience. I was only calm in this first video because I decided I was only making it for myself and my family, and gave myself permission to never publish the video. It took some of the pressure off and helped me to feel more at ease. Also there were several jittery practice rounds and outtakes! Ultimately I felt happy with the outcome and decided to dive right in. I am sure you will grow more confident and comfortable with each video you make too 💕

    Hello, I just stumbled onto your Flosstube channel and had to watch it because it was #1. I am an occasional crossstitcher because I spend a lot of time with my Sue Spargo wool appliqué and quilting. You mentioned Color and Cotton, I have ordered from them a couple of times and love their colors. We are doing a Mississippi River cruise in October and I am planning to go to their store when we dock in St Louis. Is it worth the side trip? They seem to be out of everything on their web sight. I enjoyed your first show, keep it up.

    Hello and thanks for watching! Last I heard, the Colour and Cotton team not yet set up a way to link between their in-store inventory and online inventory meaning the website is definitely not a good representation of everything they have available in person. If you love C&C thread and/or fabric I would totally recommend making the extra trip while in dock! I am so delighted each time I step in the store and experience all the beautiful colors in person 🌈💕
