Floss Love Vol. 6: Messy Floss Organization

I always like seeing how other stitchers store and organize their floss.

I have a plastic three-drawer organizer that I use to keep my DMC floss in. 

The drawers originally started out very neat and tidy, but I gave that up years ago.

Here are photos of each drawer.

We have the greens and blues.

Reds/Purples/Yellows/Oranges/Pinks

Black/Browns/Greys/Whites

How do you store your floss??

Floss Love Vol. 5: Coton Floche A Broder (DMC Floche)

It has been a long time since I did a Floss Love Post!

I finally visited a needlepoint shop nearby to check out their floss selection and they actually carry the DMC Floche!

I have never used Floche before and have only read about it. I knew it was not cheap (I splurged and picked up myself 5 colors!)

I am excited to stitch with it. Have you ever stitched with Floche before? If so, any tips to share? Do you like it or prefer regular old DMC floss? :)

Floss Love Vol. 4: Bobbins!

Lots -o- bobbins.

My MIL found these containers of bobbins at, I think, a garage sale and gave them to me a long time ago. 

Whoever these belonged to took the time organize them so nicely - even wrote the color numbers on each bobbin.

WIP Wednesday: Purple Lady

Hello! I'm starting a new weekly feature called WIP Wednesday!

Every Wednesday (hopefully) I'm going to post what embroidery work I have in progress.

This week, I'm working on the next pattern my husband drew.

I'm using 4 strands of floss by mixing 2 strands of dark purple with 2 strands of very light purple.


Warning.... big booty coming up!! :)

Pearl Cotton Embroidery

My latest embroidery is another design my husband drew.

This is my first time using pearl cotton. I really like its shine but I think for this specific design, I would have liked stitching it with stranded floss better.

All done with stem stitch - I am a little obsessed with it lately.

Up Close

This design will eventually be a pattern available on my Etsy store when it is ready and open.

Floss Love Vol.1: DMC Black #310

I use DMC floss for almost everything I embroider. It’s a great floss, a great price, and can easily be found at most craft stores. I stock up on Black # 310 !!

A few years back I discovered Sullivan embroidery floss at Hancock Fabrics. I honestly had no idea it even existed! I really like it though and love how it lists the similar DMC floss number on its labels.

What’s your favorite floss?
