FlossTube #15 Traveling In Stitches

FlossTube #14 July 28th, 2023 – Traveling In Stitches 

Welcome to our 15th FlossTube!! We are having so much fun sharing with you what we are working on and being part of this wonderful community.  We hope you will sit a spell, relax, and give us a watch. Please like, subscribe, and comment.  We love hearing from you all!!  Thanks!

We just returned from a wonderful visit with Sandra & Fred of Cross Stitch & Crafts in Johnson City, TN!!  We got a chance to meet Annie Turner of Annie – The Proper Stitcher, Kim Young of Sassy Jacks Stitchery and spent a wonderful evening with Bonnie Woomer of The Nebble Needle and her husband Mark.  Wow!!  We met some more amazing folks this trip!

Quilt featured in this FlossTube is from Better Homes & Gardens Quilt Lovers Favorites Volume 14 called “Stripe It Rich”. Designers on this quilt were Shelly Sas and Judith Ackerman and beautiful shot stripes and shot cotton fabric from Kaffe Fassett was used.  The block is a courthouse steps style.

Peter had been working on some new designs. 

One is a new spool that Bonny Woomer requested for her new designs made specifically for a spool finish.  She named it The Nebby Needle Spool and it is currently available exclusively at Cross Stitch & Crafts https://www.facebook.com/people/Cross-Stitch-Crafts/100057105774676/

Bonny’s first design made its debut at the Cross Stitch & Crafts 25th Birthday Bash and it is named “Don’t Touch Scissor Spool”.  More exciting news to come. Stay tuned!

Another new design was a – Happy Accident – three-hole scissor holder.  These are each unique and can be customer ordered on our Etsy shop – PetesBeeSkeps.

One of our creative Etsy customers requested a Tiny Town Spool designed as a pencil cup.  Peter worked his magic out beautifully!!  These are also available as a custom order in our Etsy shop.

I requested that Peter make a small spool that would fit Cecilia Turners – Tiny Town Frills.  He again banged it out of the park! Go Peter!!  Available on our Etsy shop as a custom order and soon to be at Cross Stitch & Crafts.

Needless to say, Peter has been one busy bee!
