Happy Birthday to this sweet lady! I’m so glad you made that hard decision to come to that first retreat all by yourself. You may not have made it through the weekend, but it was that first step and look at you now! You have the biggest heart of anyone I know. Wishing you the best birthday @the.fancifulflamingo

⚓️ Now that Stitch Florida 2026 has come and gone, I can share my retreat exclusive, Whispers of the Sea. 🌊

This little design was so much fun to create. It features all the things I love about the coast: a lighthouse, sailboats, and the ocean, all stitched in classic Americana colors, along with the verse, "Whispers of the sea mend the soul."

Although I was not able to attend this year's retreat, I heard it was another wonderful event. Thank you to Alicia at The Fanciful Flamingo for hosting such a special weekend.

Stitch Florida 2027 is already filling up and has a waitlist. Be sure to check out The Fanciful Flamingo's website and social media for more information.

For those who have asked, Whispers of the Sea will be released in 2027. I'll be sure to share more details as soon as I can!

And a huge thank you to @fayeriggsbee for beautifully finishing this piece for me. As always, Faye's attention to detail is simply amazing! ⚓️

Good morning!!! Stitch Florida 2026 has come to an end but left me with so many great memories. It was so nice to see all my stitching friends. @maria.angeloni thank you so much for making a visit to my shop and for helping us load up the Van. I can’t believe we forgot to take a picture at the shop.

I finally met @the_eeyore_stitcher and fell in love with her bubbly personality. Her laughter is contagious.

The best part about these retreats are letting your hair down and just having fun! @the.fancifulflamingo helps everyone do that by creating an awesome atmosphere to just sit and enjoy your time! Thank you Alicia♥️

My Flosstube about Stitch Carolinas retreat in Greenville, SC, is finally up after several days of audio glitches, but it is in three parts to get it uploaded. Be sure to watch all three parts as the fun continues and each video has different aspects of the retreat. #stitching #needlework #samplers #stitchcarolinas2026 #stitchcarolinas

After battling with glitchy Wi-Fi and glitchy YouTubeStudio too, flosstube #5 has landed and I can finally stop threatening to turn my tech devices into frustration frisbees!! 🥏

🌟NEW RELEASES🌟

We are feeling the summer vibes already here and to be honest, "new release" vibes too. Is that even a thing? Either way, we are here to reveal one of our upcoming MAY 1st releases, "Flamingo Friends".

This might be familiar to some of you as this was an exclusive for Alicia's Favorite Things Box last summer. These two spools speak to tropical summer days sitting by the pool with your best friend. While the designs might first look like mirror images of each other, they actually were created to be very similar but different and fully complete when the two sides of the sun are drawn together, and the flamingo friends are close. Who would you share your Flamingo Friend with? Might be a few people in your life that need a Flamingo Friend.

The Palm Tree Pop Up backer board was designed and painted by Chantelle with Chantelle's 141 Designs.

Available May 1st, shops can place preorders now, so ask your favorite needlework shop to secure your chart.
