The depth that you bring to Flosstube is precious. Thank to you.

I grew up in a productive environment. My maternal grandmother, who would have been 104 this year, was always making something - sewing, quilting, crocheting, figuring out projects for my woodworking grandpa to make, etc. My mother, who is an artist, was always sewing for us (I never wore a store-bought dress until the 3rd grade), cross stitching, quilting, and painting. I didn't inherit my mom's artistic ability, but I did absorb the craftiness of both of them. Cross stitch is my outlet, my way of producing things that inspire me, that make me happy to see. Work and family got in the way of it for a long time but last year, after recovering from breast cancer, I felt a strong need to be creative again. Great vlog!

My mother sewed my clothes for my younger yrs, she also knitted. She had no other hobbies and was sure i would go blind doing x stitch and that was mostly 14 16 ct then! Oh what a beautiful store! Where I live we have nothing for embellishments except micheals so oh you are so fortunate! Sigh oh the wooden table and the lamp! Thanks for the reading at the end and also the jug is beautiful beside it. See you next time.

Your introduction on this floss tube drew me into the quiet I was seeking; and carried me along on your wonderful inspirational journey. I love your picture of the bison, a majestic animal, resting in the field, under the ever changing sky; a historical presence here in SD. I want to visit Weston, and the wonderful shop you shared. I’ll have to watch your tour again, as traveling is not a reality for me. A visual feast of color, texture, fiber to be used in creating beautiful items. I’m so thrilled you have started another project, it is a dangerous route you have embarked upon. However, it can be stimulating, and thrilling to start a new chart, or use a different fabric, or use a divine new fiber…. Or help you decide what you thought you would love is not as fantastic as you thought; and give yourself permission to stop and move back to your favorite and consider again what else you might find fulfilling. Once again, you brought me to a place of quiet and peace. I needed this today. I need it every day, but don’t always find it. The words on the card spoke to me, I hope to find them so I can refer to them easily. At my age, I like to believe I have my life figured out; but it is still a challenge to reach and find that peace. You, Jackie, are a gift, a blessing. Thank you for sharing your stitching, your continual quest to learn, your lovely calm voice, your inspiration, and your guiding me to a place of quiet within me. Peg 💛. 🙏🏻 Namaste 8/3/24

I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in a large family where money was tight and the old ways of doing things were still practiced. My mother found joy in the things that felt like drudgery to me, making quilts with scraps, sewing our clothing, and bottling fruit in season. To her the sight of dozens of bottles of fruit on the shelves was beauty because it meant food security for her family. I saw those same shelves and thought of the ten dozen, or more, bushels of fruit that I had helped peel to get them there. As an adult, I too, wanted to create things for my family but I was more interested in making jam with interesting combinations of fruits, relish and pickles of different kinds…no more plain bottling of peaches for me. I always admired my mom for her fortitude and joy in the basics. I learned all of those skills from her and used them in different ways. I always considered myself frivolous in my choices of how I used my skills. What I learned in a lifetime of experience is that both ways are valid. Food for the body and creative beauty for the soul. Both need to be fed. Thank you for your thoughtful and inspiring videos. Food for the soul.❤

I am amazed that you are stitching on 56 count linen! Your red sampler is sure to be a masterpiece. Just a bit about myself. I come from a long line of creative people.on my mother's side. My great grandmother was a quilt maker, she did a lot of filet crochet and embroidery. My grandmother did garment making, quilts, embroidery and made beautiful ceramic and porcelain projects. My aunt was an a published folk artist, garment maker and floral arranger and other crafts. My mother was also an artist. My home has several of her paintings in it. She made clothing, quilted items and many other sewing projects. Her Christmas tree s were works of art. She taught me to embroder when I was quite young. My dad was an inventor and woodpecker. I feel so privileged to have come from such talented and gifted family. I am loving the meditation s at the end of your video's. Take care and happy stitching.

Thanks for watching and for your comments.

I know some Catholic nuns who regularly practice meditation. I often recite the Lords Prayer when I’m sitting quietly. It’s wonderful that we can choose the experience that works best for each of us. 🙏🏻

Thank you for another lovely, relaxing, informative, and simply enjoyable visit with you😊. Such a wonderful shop tour too! I really love this sort of revival of the creative/entrepreneurial spirit I've seen taking place the past few years, especially among younger people as they make their way in the world. We've gotten so far away from making things ourselves and the pleasure and satisfaction it can bring. As for your search for Bridget...might I suggest you try reaching out to Kathleen Littleton who is the designer behind Cross Stitch Antiques? She recently had some Irish reproduction samplers at Market this year and might be able to offer her thoughts on whether Bridget might be Irish or not. Without knowing the name of the stitcher and just looking at the design on the sampler, I would have guessed it was either Italian, French, Spanish, or possibly even German. It would be wonderful if you could find out the story of this little girl! Happy stitching!

Another amazing video. Bridget is absolutely beautiful. I love doing monochrome projects on 56 count. My sweet spot is 46 count.

My Mom’s whole family was in England except one sister. We had a blast every year. Now I wish I “had” to go again.

You are so right about the I Can and I can’t ! Sarah of Sarah’s Stitchy Spot thought she couldn’t until I told her to look at the 25 count Lugana and asked her if she could see the threads. She said she could and I told her that means you CAN stitch 1/1 on 25 count Lugana. She’s feeling much more confident now about stitching 1/1 ❤. As for me, I figured I wouldn’t know unless I tried. That’s how I moved from stitching 1/1 on 25 count, to 28 count, the. 32 count and 36 count. Before trying the lower counts I saw a chart for 1/1 on 46 count and figured I’d just give it a try and I was able to do it. I saw Nicola Parkmans Floss Tube about the locket Jean Lea gave her that was stitched 1/1 on 56 count, so figured I have to at least try. It took a bit of getting used to, but I was able to get through it and made one for myself. When I went to the Bristol retreat I asked Jean if she had made one for herself and she said no, so I told her I would make one for her. It’s the same with finishing - I wasn’t great at finishing the lockets Jean sells. Sarah’s locket opened up and it was a really tough close so I told her I would re-do it and I then figured out a better way to do it and it worked. It’s all a mindset - you Can do something if you keep your mind open to it with a can-do attitude 😊

It is much easier to read the words across the bottom showing Bridget's age. The floss list page also gives the info about her age and the details of the Catholic Altar representing the High Mass in the Latin Mass pre 1962.

That’s a perfect description of Rajiv!

Inspiration is just what you give us in this flosstube. You do beautiful stitching, Jackie. Florilegium is a magnificient shop. Thank you for sharing it with us.

See Jerri Landers at Hop-along-Hollow, she is an artist in Tennessee. She may have some information on Bridget Powers. Ms. Landers is very knowledgeable on historical crafting.

Thank you for another wonderful and inspiring floss tube. Love your progress on Bridget Powers. The basket of flowers is amazing.

Wonderful video! The shop is spectacular and you're so lucky to live where you do! Thanks for all the inspiration!

You''re only on your third flosstube and you're already there at the top of my must-watch list in the company of Brenda & Laura, Saltbox Stitcher, & Linen & Scraps! And it's not just stitching and such. I needed to replace a windshield wiper blade and was going to ask my neighbor to do it for me when you reminded me to look on KZreadd for instructions. Voila!

You have such a soothing voice. I love your flosstubes. Keep them coming.

I enjoy your videos and love the buffalo. I’ve watched the Pethericks from the beginning and find it inspiring. You might enjoy Ally Marie Brown she is a young woman living in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. She is an herbalist,gardener and home remodeler . She makes wonderful products with her herbs and what she finds in nature. When I started stitching 3 years ago, watched every floss tube out there. Now I’m down to about 6 of them. Yours is not to be missed thank you

Hi. I love your videos. Your so inspiring I have started writing out your quotes from the start of your videos they are starting to be quite the essay. You sparked my creative juices flowing with the seasonal girls from Barbara Anna. I thought maybe to put each one on the front of a small notebook and write quotes and poems inside pertaining to the season. Of course your words could have a place there too. And maybe some small illustrations and pressed flowers? I told you you had set me off 😊. Anyway I look forward to your next instalment. Take care. Ps. I’m from England so I’m glad you like our country

I love your journal ideas with the 4 Seasons girls! Very creative!

Thank you! I am loving each episode! I especially appreciate you taking the time to list the sites, stitchers, and other “inspiring folks” that you enjoy in your drop down info. It’s grand to just watch and listen, knowing that specifics will be listed. Extra work for you, but super helpful for us “out here.” So thank you and happy stitching. 🥰

I am so grateful that you are doing flosstube just like you do. I believe that there are no coincidences in life, that things are meant to happen when they do. Finding you now was meant to happen and you are impacting more lives than you will ever know. Your meditations are wonderful, your stitching is beautiful and I love the people and ideas that you share. Thank you!

I thought you might be interested in the Flosstuber " Stitching with Reecie " from Australia. She only has 12 videos and hasn't filmed for awhile, but her 9th videos featured charts by Sabine Teterra-Gundacker. Reecie is terrific!!! Thanks you for your videos!

Thank you for the recommendation! I have watched a few of her videos because Brenda and Laura would always talk about her. I didn’t see the one about Sabine, though. I’ll go look for it. Thank you!

I would have guessed you were a yoga instructor - - you have the most calming voice and I appreciate your reflections. Thank you as always for sharing

Your videos are above wonderful! I just love sitting and listening to you and focusing on the words you are saying. You are so much more than just stitching! I love how you are so intentional. What a beautiful shop tour, and how blessed you are to live so close to that shop! Just beautiful things in every direction. I’d love to see all of the threads, trims, and ribbons up close! I always wanted to make a quilt like the one they made with all of the beautiful scraps of fabrics, velvets, and embroidery on it! They are a work of art! Thank you for sharing this shop, it is a great source for finishing and silks! Thank you again for such a beautiful video!

So fortunate for you to come from a stitching family! I did not . But my ladies were tough and survivors. Thanks for your kind words.

Thank you again Jackie for all you have shown us, I have spent a wonderful time with you this afternoon. Much love from NZ.

I absolutely love your videos.very inspired to keep crafting. Your shop around the corner is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Take care

I have watched the 1st two you mentioned for 2+ years. They are excellent.

Hi Jackie. I am Kansas born and have been in NW New Mexico for over 49 years. I have to say I’ve never forgotten my Kansas roots. I learned every aspect of needlework from my Mom, who passed 3 years ago, my wonderful Grandma and my Great Aunt. I love my heritage and value it greatly. I also had a high school friend that worked, and I think still works for Hallmark. Our 50th HS reunion is in August so I hope I’ll be able to make it so I can see her. I love not only Counted Cross Stitch, but I also love knitting socks. I’m a Sampler stitcher and love Red Samplers in particular but have done several multicolored samplers. What history. I love it. Your flosstube is awesome and I’m finding that I actually can’t wait for your next one. As I’m watched today, I couldnt help but think that buffalo looks like one I knew 😊 many years ago at the Lee Richardson Zoo in Garden City, KS. I love that picture. I’m so glad to be able to watch you and thank you so much for putting yourself out there 😃

Your Flosstube has become one of my "must watch" channels. Thank you for sharing your love of stitching in a refreshingly calm way. Also, thank you for the tour of Florilegium. It looks like a place I could get happily lost in and then leave with things I didn't know I needed. I'm looking forward to more wonderful videos from you.
