Hello!
I have something fun and
what I hope will be helpful
for you that I will be posting
monthly here on my blog.
As you know I have a new
YouTube Channel
and each month I film
a new episode of FlossTube.
Within each of those episodes
I show my cross stitching
that I have been doing that
month and tell all about it.
I have a lot of color changes
that I do so that my stitches
match my decor style and many of you
have been asking if I would
share those color conversions.
So each month I'll be doing
"show notes"
and sharing my colors on
each "finished" piece that I
have shown in that particular episode.
Last night I filmed FlossTube No. 9
and here are my show notes.

You do an amazing job with your color conversions. I really enjoy your You Tube videos.
ReplyDeleteWow, your embroidery work is perfection as is your love for quilting! I love your blog and even visit the old files. I have read all books you recommended and love the past as much as you! Thank you for sharing your talents and preferences.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cross stitch designs and colors. I'm a total newbie heading off to heck out your new Floss tube channel, as I'm looking for tips and good projects for beginners.
ReplyDeleteOh my word, is there no end to your talents, these are great. When do you find the time? Will have a look at the Utube. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love your videos.
ReplyDeletethank you for the conversion information! When I put this pattern into my inventory, I noted that I didn't like the colors...normally I list the called for threads so I'm ready to kit it up. This is very much what I would prefer and the new info (w/a note that it's your conversion) is in my inventory!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! :)
ReplyDeleteOk. So the idea was when I heard about your You Tube channel and great tutorials, that I would save some money. Wrong. Why? Because I had to go and order the two books I didn't have and then decided I needed the book holder. Thanks so much for the really good videos. They are very inspiring to get moving and get something done.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori...I really enjoyed your video and watched it twice. Such beautiful finishes! I enjoy learning from you and gleaning tidbits of info like other bloggers or You Tube crafters. Thanks for the inspiration. Always something NEW! 💁♀️🧵✂️🪡❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. Its amazing.
