Welcome to my channel where I share my love of primitive colonial style in decorating and cross stitch. You will find two types of videos, those labeled "FlossTube" which include my stitching projects and "Feather Your Nest" that focus on my home decor using my needlework and primitive colonial antiques and collections. Thanks for stopping by and visiting!

I always enjoy your videos. Yours our one of my very favs!!! I absolutely love your decorating style and your finishing inspiration! Thank you for taking the time to share with us!
Love love love that you displayed your stitching on a chair! Crazy good! The crock piece is beautiful too ❤️
I mean no disrespect, and I am not a lawyer, but is that Crow doll a copyright infringement on the Not Forgotten Farm Pattern of the same name, Cornelia Crow? It is adorable. Again no disrespect to anyone, just curious.
I love Harvest House by Teresa Kogut but I’m stitching the bowl of bittersweet!!
Omg!!! You just said that too!😂😂😂
I love the finish for your ladder back! I might have to snag that idea! Im stitching Thanful Harvest as well. Having a hard time staying motivated to finish it because I started it 2 over 2 threads and not liking it as much since I primarily stitch with one thread!
Wonderful stitches. I want to work on Little Birds, too

Thank you for another lovely video!!! I so appreciate your honesty in how you are thinking of changing what you choose to stitch. I do love your BBD Bird sampler & I like that you are considering finishing it in a different way. I hope you will share it bc I would like some new ways of finishing too!
Hey, my cross stitch and decorating Queen!!…..I need to re-re-rewatch your decorating videos, it I’m also thinking others may have a challenge that I’m working with…..I was given a lovely antique 12 inch round dough bowl. I was and am so excited….BUT I just can’t seem to pull it off like you do in your decorating. It’s not lack of little pintucks. It’s the little stuff you would need to fill the bottom with so they don’t all slide down. If you feel like it, could you share your thinking on how to get them to look so awesome in your home?
I’m delighted to see a new flosstube from you. You look great, very refreshed and ready for more stitching! That prim bird doll and stitched piece just melted my heart. Gosh I adore this community.
Thank you, Kristy! Your videos are always a real treat. I kept pausing to take notes! Your Little Birds sampler is gorgeous. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Hope to see you soon.
Long time viewer. You’re one of my favorite flosstubers. Love your primitive style.
Wow, thanks so much! Im flattered, just sharing what I love.
Just discovered you this week. The Saltbox Stitcher mentioned you and your primitives and I had to take a peek. I became an instant fan. The Cornelia doll and cross stitch is adorable.
Hello and welcome! I love Carol, she is my most favorite FT. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting, hope you continue to return.
I don’t even know where to start! First of all…YAY for Little Birds! I have everything kitted for it, but I haven’t started it yet. You are the only person that I’m aware of, who is this close to a finish. It may be one of my top 3 all time favorites! I will be cheering you on in September! Second, yay for 40 minutes! It was great to spend “extra” time with you. 😊 Third…your finishes…😍. And that doll…adorable. I hope to snag one eventually! Fourth, Lori Rippey is my favorite designer. Her Lucy Mack is my number one favorite sampler. I finished the one you’re currently working on last year. I need to start the one that you have framed behind you. Fifth, your finish for your ladder back chair. Brilliant. And that box…oh my…I have prim stitchers envy. I have the bittersweet pattern. I had forgotten about it. But you have made me think I need to finish it right now! I’m sure I’ve forgotten something. But I may just have to watch again! Happy Stitching! ❤
Thank you very much!! I have another Lori Rippey pattern I started a few years ago with a blue and mustard house, I really should get it finished. She is a favorite. Bonnie's Bittersweet is really a pretty quick stitch and fun, you will like it. Enjoy!!
@@daisykaysprimitives do you remember the name of the pattern with the blue and mustard house? I don’t think I have that one…but maybe I do, lol!
@@bethmaddox9203 I believe it is Abigail Adams Sampler
@@daisykaysprimitives thank you so much! I do NOT have that one. Why?? I will soon though, it will look great with Lucy Mack! ♥️
Hi Christie, I was so happy to see your new video come up. Your stitching is so pretty and your party Pattern choices ate right up my alley. I am a Theresa No but Patrion fan also. Love her designs. I'm getting ready to work on linen for the first time, wish me luck! I have worked on 18 count aida, evenweave, and and lugana but not linen. Happy Stitching.
Sorry for the typos! My tablet has a mind of its own.
Good luck on the linen stitching, take your time in figuring it out and getting used to it. Don't give up too quickly. Thanks so much for watching!!
It certainly sounds like you’ve had a busy summer with riff, trees and now siding and painting, yikes! I’m sure when the last of the painting is finished you and your husband will be able to relax and enjoy. Cornelia is a wonderful stitch and then to have a special doll to match is so fun. Bonnie’s Bittersweet and Tansy, Yarrow and Rue are both perfectly prim projects. Finishing Tansy on wool was a great idea. Little Birds is beautiful and I’m sure you can figure out the error in the project. Have a wonderful rest of summer and I look forward to seeing your next video. You’re going to have to do a little review of your stitching room when you have it arranged the way you want it. Love the black cabinets that are behind you. Take care! (Now I’m humming ‘High Hopes’ from the Disney movie Jungle Book. 😂)
Hi Sandy, it has been a busy summer but that's ok, it hasn't slowed my stitching too much. I will share my sewing/stitching room when its complete, hopefully soon. Thank you for visiting!
Gorgeous projects !!!! Love your decor...so homey and warm. I am a progress stitcher, am working on several things and if one gets too close to a finish I will start something new, procrastinate, but will eventually FFO the one I temporarily shelved. Crazy !!! Stay safe.
I don't think that is crazy at all, if it is what makes you happy, that is all that matters! Thanks so much for visiting.
Oh my gosh I so enjoyed this video! Your finishes are so amazing, I love how you finished the Pineberry lane piece! Your very creative ♥️
Thank you so much!
🐴🐴🐴
Thanks for stopping by.
Your projects are beautiful! I love finishing things in different ways too. Keeps it interesting. I love your Little Birds. I’ve stayed away from it because of the size but I may have to get that one. Happy stitching sweet friend! ♥️
Hi Katie!! Thank you very much, did you see a little something I had displayed on my shelf?? I love it!
Kristy great idea for high hopes! Mine our dreams😂 Love your crow doll adorable ❤ I am with you on working on more than one project.I think linen & scraps gave you a shout out. Taking down trees is no joke & very pricey. Thanks for sharing & have a great week.❤As always a wonderful video.
Boy howdy was the tree removal pricey - but necessary in the long run. At least, we won't worry about it falling on the house anymore, so it is worth it. Thanks for watching!
I love your stitching style! I agree with stitching the smaller charts, but I've always admired Little Birds! I know you will love it when it's completed! I definitely need Bonnie's Bittersweet! Thanks for always bringing me inspiration!
Thanks very much, just sharing what I love.
Hi Daisy, love your shelves and frames on the wall. Your little birds is amazing, keep at it!
Thanks!! I just watched your Stacy Nash finish video - wow! So inspiring, everything is lovely.
Kristy, I love your videos. That crow doll is the cutest thing! I had to pause the video to see if there were any available, but unfortunately, there were none. I did, however, get something else. I love seeing what you are working on. I love primitive too. Thanks for sharing. Pam Miller in Alabama
Hi Pam, keep checking back to Jerri's shop. I know she has been swamped with orders. Thanks so very much for the compliment, just sharing what I love.
Kristy, you always give me ‘high hopes!’ Love the finish of Yarrow Tansy and Rue - very versatile! And as far as Little Birds? You Go, Girl!!!! Love Ya!
Thank you friend for always encouraging me in whatever hopes I may have. Hugs.
Love your videos! Thank you for all your effort in making them. Love your colonial/primitive style. Also love the new doll. I want one!❤
Hi Sarah, thank you very much! Keep checking on Jerri's shop, I know she has been swamped with orders lately.
I happened to be lacing Bonnie's Bittersweet for a frame when you showed your finish! I just love that piece! Your finish sounds great...mine is kind of boring, but I was tickled that a used frame I had fit it perfect. My September plans are just to stitch fall...mostly smaller projects. Your crow doll is adorable!
Isn't it great to be able to use things we already have? Thanks so much for watching and happy September stitching!
Great video Kristy ! Always enjoy watching and seeing what you’re working on!
Thanks very much for watching and visiting!
I do appreciate you sharing your beautiful home and stitching with us. Love it all!
Thank you for stopping by and watching!!
I love Cornelia! I may have to buy that pattern, but I probably wouldn't stitch it this year. Your bittersweet stitch looks so much better than the pattern photo. I'm working on a lori Rippey pattern while watching you.
Love Lori's designs, not enough hours and arms! Enjoy!
I always enjoy your videos....and yes., I have quite a few big girls going and they have mistakes too. Seems after stitching for almost 50 years I would learn to count.lol But I tell myself that I am the only one who knows there are mistakes. I am working on the Winds of Autumn and I will make that huge strawberry to display for fall. Fall stitching is really my favorite stitching...the warm colors and the thoughts of fall are nice on a hot summer day.
Winds of Autumn is a great book and especially love the crow strawberry, enjoy and happy stitching. Thanks for watching!
Hello from NC Kristy! Little Birds is gorgeous! No one will know you’re two stitches off…hope you can make it work, it is stunning! Thank you for sharing all your great ideas…a fun “visit”…I love your ladder back chair idea, so cute! Thank you so much!
Would love to visit NC someday. Thanks very much for stopping by for a visit, always fun!
Hi there! I’m always so happy to see an update from you! ♥️ you are definitely making me want to pull out my fall stitching! I love your finish of the Pineberry Lane piece! I am also trying to think of new ways to finish things, and that finish is SO cute! I too have some high hopes for Sampler September 😅 I will keep my fingers crossed for both of us that we see good progress. I hope you have a wonderful end to your summer/beginning of fall. Hugs! ♥️
Hi Megan, I'm certain you will have lots of progress to share with us soon. You always amaze me at how much you accomplish and look forward to catching up with you. Yup, fingers crossed! Hugs backatcha!
Love everything your working on your stitching is beautiful 🤩 I love everything Teresa Kogut comes out with I don’t know how she does it. Have a wonderful evening and happy stitching 😊🪡🧵🤗🤩
Teresa is amazing! Thanks for stopping by to visit!!
Lovely to see what you've been up to. Wishing you all the best with figuring out Little Birds!
Thank you very much, I am determined!
Thanks for another video! I always get so excited to watch when notifications tell me your videos are ready to watch ❤️. I ordered some super cute items from Sisters Prim & Rose too... absolutely love every bit. Thanks for sharing 🧡🤎❤️
Hi Lori, thank you so very much! Im very flattered, just sharing what I love and somewhat paying it forward. Can't wait to see what you got from Jerri's shop.
Kristy, I love your style, I love your home and love your stitching! ❤️ 🇨🇦
Thank you, thank you!
Beautiful stitching and fantastic ideas to finish pieces!!!! I kept looking at the red heart above your shoulder. Did you make that? It’s adorable! Love it!
Hi Sara, thank you very much. No, that sweet pillow was from a stitching friend and I love it.
Wonderful. Video! Love all your WIPS and finishes!!!
Thanks very much for watching.
Kristy, I so enjoy your videos, you are among my top favorite flosstubers! Love your stitching projects - and however you finish your big sampler will be just right! I completely get the no big projects thought, I've been thinking the same thing!
Thank you very much, I'm very flattered, just sharing what I love.
I’m always looking for new ideas for my stitching projects and you have great ideas!! I too love bittersweet and have my own bush in my yard to use for decorating… now I need that pattern you showed. Thanks for another great flosstube!!!😻
Thanks very much, won't be long and will be getting the faux bittersweet out to decorate.
I'm an old returner who loves your videos!
I'm so grateful that you are!! Thank you!
I was thinking about your larger size sampler piece and ways to display other than a framed piece on the wall. I did a search on E-Bay for wood fireplace screens. There are some that are frames on a wood stand meant for needlepoint. One was very reasonable except for the shipping. Maybe you could find something like that locally or maybe your husband could get creative a base from something like a sewing stand, etc. Also, your piece could be the center medallion of a quilt.
What a great idea! Thank you very very much! Stay tuned!
I completely understand the need to stitch small/medium projects. For 2024 I overestimated how much I could accomplish and have three large projects by Brenda Gervais, Blackbird Designs, and Plum Street. The Brenda Gervais, Every Opening Flower is finished, not framed. The others will be a dash to the finish line. Meanwhile all my other crafting loves have suffered. I plan to be more discerning for 2025 and more realistic with my time. Love your stitching and always look forward to seeing your Flosstubes❤
There are just so many pretty things to stitch and not enough time ever, but oh what a great "problem" to have, right? Thank you very much!
3 years, good for you and us. I totally understand the joy of being with older grandchildren.
Thank you! Time goes by too quickly.
You really inabled me with your finish by Scarlet House of the crock and bittersweet. I also LOVE bittersweet in the fall. I think it would look great on that box. I also really love your creative way of finishing to be hung from the ladder back of your chair. So cute! Looking forward to seeing all your fall stitching. I am going to flip through my patterns now to see what I can start for fall. Blessing to you!
Thank you very much! I'm really enjoying fall stitching, hope you do as well. Blessings!!
Good video! My rule on stitching 150 by 150. I got notforgotten farm bee pattern. But I don't like her old patterns hard to read. I gave up. I have been stitching primrose cottage bee patterns. Very sweet. Their patterns remind me of Prairie Schooler. Great finishes you always have good things you are stitching.
I know what you mean about some of the older charts, I am determined to finish them because I love them, so just keep plugging along. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks so much - that crow dill is a treasure - aren't we funny. I stitching on the small side too, pears, tomato girl Maggie, etc. hugs
All sound like perfect projects to me. Aren't we so fortunate to have so many choices and options? Thanks so much for stopping by and watching!
Have you thought of utilizing the space on the sides of your cabinets located behind you for display of some of your cross stitch? I can picture a temporary hook with a primitive piece or two hung from them. Something that you can rotate with the season.
Yes I have, its been a bit overwhelming getting things situated in the room. As I live in it a bit, Im sure things will all come together. Great idea!
This was a delightful podcast on so many levels. Your Pineberry Lane finish is prim perfect. Like many of us wall space is at a premium and this is wow finish and budget friendly. Thank you for sharing. I had a dear friend who got me hooked on bittersweet, so am looking forward to seeing that finish as well. My favorite and most relatable part was your BB sampler. There are definitely those samplers that keep me humble. I just finished my version of A Savior’s Praise and the middle section barely resembles the original. My count was sooooo off that entire motifs had to be omitted, but I persevered and am pleased with how it turned out. Hang in there.
Thank you Barbara, I'm determined. I bet your A Savior's Praise is beautiful!
