Flosstubes
Description from YouTube
From pillows and framed pieces to a gallery wall and display cabinet, my stitching is slowly taking over the house—and I'm excited to show you where everything ended up.

*IN THIS EPISODE*

🏠 *Firehouse (Hometown Holiday) — Little House Needleworks*
Fabric: 40 Count Raw, Zweigart 
Floss: Called for floss
_This is the 7th of 12 houses in my Hometown Holiday series. While I'm definitely ready to move on to something new, I'm excited to see the village come together one house at a time._

🎄 *Christmas Village — Prairie Schooler*
Fabric: 40 Count Lunar, Fox & Rabbit
Floss: Called for DMC
_Special thanks to Renee Herman for her amazing conversion, Suzanne Denton for the photo that sucked us into the conversion and Audrey Bretz for her tree colors._

🌷 *Spring Quaker - Primrose Cottage*
Fabric: 40 Count Oyster Shell, Fox & Rabbit
Floss: DMC 3740
_After auditioning floss and fabric from my stash (which you can see in my flosstube extra called “Everything I Do Before the First Stitch”), this pattern came together so quickly!_

🐭 *Bobbin - Stacy Nash*
Fabric: 36ct Canyonlands, Count On Linens
Floss: Mostly called for floss + Linen (instead of Cattail), 3862 (instead of Cocoa and 612 (instead of Putty)
_This is proof that you don’t have to stitch projects “right” to love them! I stitched Bobbin over 1 so he’d fit in this tiny frame, and I’m so obsessed with him!_

🐳 *FFO: Whale Watch - Chessie & Me*
Fabric: 40 Count Palomino, Color & Cotton
Floss: Personal Conversion, Weeks Dye Works & DMC
_You've seen this piece evolve from floss auditions to finishing experiments, and today I'm finally showing the completed pillow._

🦢 *WIP: Spring Swan - Brenda Gervais*
Fabric: 40 County Vintage Country Mocha - Zweigart
Floss: Called For
_After months of stitching, this sweet swan is finally fully finished! Two swans down, two swans to go!_

👴🏻 *FFOs: George and Martha - Notforgotten Farm*
Fabric: 36 Count Beige, Weeks Dye Works
Floss: Personal Conversion
_After living with both finishes for a while, I restuffed George so I could compare the results side-by-side and decide which filling gives me the look I want._

*🔔 Christmas Bells — Heartstring Samplery*
Fabric:  36 Count Blue Smoke, Zweigart 
Floss: Conversion by @keepsakescrossstitch
_After months at the framer, Christmas Bells is finally home—and seeing those tinkling bells framed was worth the wait!_
