Flosstube #10 - I'm still stitching and a giveaway!!

[@marybethryan8216]

After my daughter died, I didn’t think I’d ever get the creative bug back so gave away almost all my floss and many of my patterns. I’m happy to say that watching your tutorials has given me a desire to finish several projects (UFOS) and, having kept DMC red, I’ll look for a designer to stitch!

[@robinkuechle7345]

Mary...I am so sorry for you loss 😢

[@marybethryan8216]

@@robinkuechle7345 thank you!

[@SmittenKitten.]

Oh my goodness, I'm so deeply sorry about your loss. I wish I could give you a big hug.

[@marlanedows7049]

Mary, I am so very sorry for your loss. I also am in the club no one Evers wants to be in. Prayers

[@jacquelinefrauenfelder3604]

Good on you.sending lots of hugs.

[@ebgordon]

Even if we meet irregularly, it’s great to talk about floss, notions and share what’s happening in your studio! Thanks for inviting us over!!

[@jomala1951]

Floss please!

[@kathywhipp4669]

I share your sentiments! Emily

[@rebeccashideler1906]

Lori, you must have more than 24 hours in your day!! So many beautiful pieces! I cross stitched many years ago-you are inspiring me to get some floss and start again.

[@patbarone4855]

Lori, never a need to apologize for whenever we get a FLOSS tube video from you is a great day! Your WIPS, finishes and merchandise are just wonderful. I think the introduction to your video is the best! Thank you for all of your contributions to the cross stitch community!

[@helenmerkis6420]

I really enjoy your floss tube videos. I watch your quilting ones too. I have only used DMC floss but I’m thinking of expanding to use a silk floss too. Thank you for making these videos.

[@aggiestitcher9335]

I’m not a quilter, so I’m glad you do a cross stitch “only” flosstube. I liked the way you showed how to cut your floss for use on the floss cards.

[@memefraser3961]

I have never crossed stitch. It’s on my “to do” list. I did buy a Lori Holt card from FQS in hopes of teaching myself. FQS is going to be offering a series of how to videos that I am eagerly looking forward to. I hope I can learn to cross stitch and enjoy it. Thank you for showing me how to wind floss. There is so much I have to learned. I really love the look. I have an embroidery piece that my grandmother did and I treasure. This piece is over a 100 years old. Thank you for these videos from a non stitcher.

[@janbell744]

I started with Lori's little stitchy card designs.

[@conniehall3873]

Lori, would you ever consider showing us your walls or how you display your finishes in your home?! That would be amazing! 🙂 I love short and long floss tube episode! and always look forward to learning more. Thank you, Floss friend.

[@bderringer1]

Floss is essential to cross stitching! Thank you Lori for sharing so much of yourself with us. The world is more beautiful because of you!

[@dottyalsawy3719]

Always look forward to your next flosstube and/or tutorial… they are filled with inspiration and beauty. The stitching, the floss, the bags, the organization tips, all this goodness in each video just makes my heart sing for this hobby. You are a talent and a delight, Thank U ❣️

[@pamstout1309]

Hi Lori, Love the cross stitch you make. Is your quilting pattern Family Reunion still available? I couldn't find it on your website to order it. I just love it. Thank you

[@barbaradaniels9561]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE seeing all your lovey projects and especially the bags where you keep all your FLOSSES and FLOSS holders!!!! What an inspiration you are! Thank you for sharing your talents!❤️

[@andreapike5265]

I sew and quilt. And then my husband was diagnosed with metastasized lung, kidney and bone cancer. I wanted to avoid all that time in my sewing room and sit with him when he's feeling not feeling chipper. I happened upon Lori's FLOSS tube channel (because I watch all her videos) and thought, "I could do that... I'd love to do that... And it's something I can do while we sit together during the day or evening. I love seeing all the wips, finishes and new products (that we all purchase). I even fill out the library cards for my stitches. I've been stitching since May 2021,which is not long, but there are a lot of Dr. visits and waiting and I fill the time with my new "passion". That means I've finished quite a few. I began with Lori's stitch cards. They've been a big help and I've been making them into bowl pillows. Friends have helped teach me and all the Floss tubers have contributed and I follow Lori and watch every Kimberly Jolly Floss Tube. I'm now teaching my daughter and granddaughter and they watched this episode with me. Thank you Lori and all the Floss tubers for giving me a new hobby and helping me spend even more time with hubby during this journey.

[@shellykain2591]

Hello! I used to stitch years ago, but stopped when being a Mommy took up all of my time. Then recently, in a 3 month stretch, I lost my Father, my Father-in-Law, and COVID hit. A very dear friend suggested that I go back to stitching as a therapy to reduce stress. I can't thank her enough, as I honestly think it saved my sanity. Now I'm crazy in a different way...cross stitch crazy! That dear friend has since purchased the LNS Welcome Stitchery from Clear Lake, IL and moved it to Blue Earth, MN. I help her at the store whenever I can, and it is so much fun! I owe her a debt of gratitude! It is wonderful to have all of that floss, fabric, patterns, etc. available to me at a moments notice!

[@feliciamonk8064]

Yea🎉 you’re back with another Floss tube!!! I’ve missed your floss tubes so much! Floss, floss and more floss - Lori I so appreciate everything you do 🥰💖🙏🏽

[@kathyborger1498]

With each Floss Tube episode you do, you inspire me to get back into cross stitching. I did some cross stitching back in the 80's & 90's and I am missing it. I absolutely love everything you do!!! Yes, I agree, "cute matters"! You make our world so much more happy! Thank you so very much!

[@suemcleod7742]

Have been enjoying your flosstube videos, thank you! After watching you do a finishing video I got inspiration and FINALLY finished 2 projects that have been sitting around for about 25 years. I started the project, my Mom wanted to work on them and did 3/4th's of them before her cataracts and macular degeneration prevented her from completing them. My then 23 year old daughter decided to finish the project after my Mom passed away. The cost of finishing both pieces was a little out of my price range so they just sat on a closet shelf. I did another project that I practiced lacing on and was very happy with the results. I am so excited to say I have I now have these two beautiful pieces done and hanging on my wall to enjoy. I have intentions of giving them to my daughter because of her love of her Grandmother. So you are the reason this all was possible, thank you! I am 73 years old and realize I now need about 100 more years to finish all of my handwork projects too! Would love to win your giveaway so FLOSS has been submitted.

[@cariesquires]

I love the way you keep all of your FLOSS organized❤️ It speaks to me, I’m also very organized. With as any wips as you have, the bitty boards, bags and floss keepers are the key! You’re amazing👏

[@marthaabstein6046]

What I like about this episode is the variety of things that you include - fully finished items, finished items, whips that you are working on with changing in the FLOSS, things that you want to start as Whips, short tutorials on how to do things, like using you DMC FLOSS, and things that you will be doing in the future like the crochet flowers. Great job.

[@michellewickline2894]

Every time I watch your flosstubes I am inspired to purchase more patterns! Lol. You manage to change the floss colors to make each pattern pop and a pattern I was on the fence about is now a must have! Thanks Lori!🥰

[@romydelgado2787]

OMG when you whipped out all those red threads my heart stopped. What beauties! Love your FLOSS selections and the attention to detail for each piece. Thank you for sharing your work. It’s truly inspiring.

[@robbiebommele8010]

Flosstube #10 was wonderful. Your stitching is so beautiful. All of your starts and WIPS and FFO's make me so jealous. I love FLOSS and have not been able to figure out how to cut it down. Your mini tutorial has helped me so much. Lori, you always teach me something in your flosstubes. I am ever so grateful. Thank you!

[@April-CraftyBluebonnetDesigns]

Floss tube is such a creative outlet and way to gain inspiration. I’ve been so thankful for floss tube this past year and half especially as it helped having stitchy friends to stitch with. Thank you for sharing!

[@paulafinlinson3165]

One cannot have too much Floss, keep your videos coming, they’re so wonderful. I love each project you’re doing. We have a lot in common with what designs we choose.

[@bellajkw]

I love how you store your red FLOSS in a separate littler zipper bag for your red samplers! Such a helpful idea! Thanks for sharing all you do❣️ BTW…Your grand dog is absolutely adorable❣️ I’m a fur mama to two toy poodles. Poodles are just so smart and cute and best of all…No Shedding❣️😊 ♥️❤️

[@carolwagner4818]

Lori Holt is such a talented designer! FLOSStube #10 was worth waiting for. Usually I watch Lori's FLOSStube videos a couple of times because there is so much involved and I don't want to miss a thing! Lori's choice of FLOSS colors is spot on and inspires me to continue to cross stitch more and more patterns. Thank you, Lori!!!

[@MaisyDee]

Lori I have loved you for years and continue to enjoy all of the things you do and share with us. I never thought I'd get back to cross stitching but I love it so much and am so happy it's gained such a following thanks to you and so many others. I love all the things: charts, flosstube, fabric and FLOSS! But especially this cross stitch community!

[@gingergiant817]

I like a long video. It is more important that you camp and have family time and are rested than making a floss tube! We will be here. Thank you for demonstrating the floss winder. Yours always looks so neat!

[@jennifergregory4219]

Your stitching is so inspirational! All your gorgeous WIPs and fun notions! I am in love especially today with your Kaleidoscope FLOSS colors, that turquoise! And that precious ruler frame for your schoolhouse stitch! Thanks as always for sharing your time and space with us. I look forward to your video every week❤️😀🧵

[@lashayblansett]

Your FLOSS tubes are my FAVORITE! So glad you’ve had time to record a new one. It was worth the wait…so many beautiful projects!! ❤️

[@quiltybee]

You are an ENDLESS well of creative ideas!! FLOSS-ey talk is a new world for me!! I look forward to the crochet pull tags demo!!❤️🤍💙

[@3gstitchlove]

I was so excited when I saw you uploaded another flosstube episode! I always get so inspired every time I watch. I think your idea to stitch 2 or 3 strands of floss in your red samplers before starting another stitch is genius. It's a great way to warm up!

[@vickiprofant]

OMG! Your cross stitching is just as beautiful as your quilting! You and Kimberly Jolly are the busiest Quilters/Cross Stitchers! I love it all! Thank you for demonstrating how to wind your floss! Of course you had to paint your sticks to be more colorful ...and much more cuter! 🥰

[@patriciaruppert201]

In addition to what I have said I like the floss winders. I am amazed at the amount of completed projects that you complete. Your creativity is inspiring for all of us that watch your channel. 🥰🥰

[@susanharber6488]

We may need to start referring to you as The Floss Lady!! 😊 I think I may have held my breath a little as you went though SO many projects. It is difficult to rationalize how you manage so much! Amazing.

[@janicekramer4685]

Dearest Lori!! Your flosstubes are so incredibly inspirational. I especially love it when Kimberly comes to visit (and Christy). I wish I had some stitchy/quilty friends. None of my friends, nor my daughter have shown any interest. But, both bring me such joy that I just keep going and consider all of you to be my friends! Thank you for everything you do - from your beautiful designs to your wonderful notions to your amazing fabric and beyond!! I appreciate you!

[@dianehendricks9125]

My favorite part is seeing all the projects you completed as well as what your working on, including the FLOSS colors you are using.

[@maryhurd963]

Thank you for this floss tube. You make every floss tube memorable. Sorry to hear about your paint being discontinued. I hope I can order some to stock up on my favorites. We love all you do for the cross stitch community . I wanted to tell you that in 1952 my mom was making granny Squares for a quilt. She could make Anything . She would get her crochet hook out and begin to construct doll clothes table runners , covers for the arms on our chairs. Sadly she passed away before the afghan was done. But I do have the doll outfit bonnet and dress. Her colors were so up to date bright pink with purple trim. Thanks again for all you do.

[@lauriee348]

I am addicted to all your videos and everything thing you do and design!! Thank you so very much for all the work you do!! Between you, Fat Quarter Shop, Crosshatch quilts, Pumpkin Hollow quilts and many more ... you all are help me stay sane while I'm still working the front lines in Texas!!! I love color and looking at all my floss brings me cheer!!

[@StitchingisElementary]

I love all your floss tube projects! I don't know how you get so much stitching done! You don't need to apologize! It's amazing how much you accomplish! Happy Stitching and Quilting!

[@jeanetteburnette1197]

Don’t apologize - just happy whenever I get a notification of a new Lori Holt video - Thank you for taking the time to share! Picked up cross stitch again about a year ago and can’t put it down! Love FLOSS!

[@suzicafran4624]

Lori, your video releases make so many people happy! Your an inspiration for us all! Like so many have wondered, how do you get so much done? You must have more time in your days than the rest of us! You are blessed and so lucky to be able to get to do what you love each and every day! I’m a teacher and had a project in my classroom that I occasionally work on, two of my special education students had asked if I would teach them to work with the floss. One of the girls does it all of the time now and the other works her floss on the weekends! When they graduated last school year they presented me with the most beautiful piece that’s they had worked on together! Was beautiful! Thank you for encouraging everyone to what they love! Your awesome!

[@lisacicchetti9027]

Nothing is cooler than looking at all the wonderful floss colors. If I could have all the floss from all the different floss company's, oh wow that would be so great! Thanks for your great floss tube ideas!

[@dorissanders1950]

It is so much fun watching all your fun stitching and designs. I do not understand how anyone doesn't enjoy creating! Our mommas and grandmas made our lives creative. I must confess I have enough floss for many years but always need more. Colors!

[@marcyk6291]

I have enjoyed all of your floss tube videos. I like how your show off your projects at the beginning of the episode. It's like little appetizers for what's to come. Thank you for showing us the various ways you store your floss, as well as the different ways you FFO your projects.

[@caroljensen4910]

After taking several years off to make quilts I am getting back to cross stitch projects again. It has been fun adding new patterns and floss and have enjoyed all your flosstubes as well as buying your cross stitch "supplies". Thank you for your wonderful flosstubes.

Looking forward to # 11. Thank You for all you do Lori. Looking forward to your crochet flowers and Cassidy's zipper pulls. So exciting.

[@donnamerrifield9007]

I love watching your FLOSStube channel! You always have such interesting projects. I'm impressed that you stitch so many intricate ones simultaneously. Sometimes when I look at the packaging, I think I would never stitch that, but when you show your finished pieces or WIPS, they always looks so pretty!

[@jeantruckey1502]

The first definition I learned for the word floss was at my dentist office. Then as an adult I learned about embroidery floss when I discovered a kit at a yarn shop. Several years later I discovered “fancy” floss and cross stitch. Yes, I do still floss my teeth but cross stitching is my favorite way to use floss. Love your patterns and fabrics. Thanks for your incredible contributions to our needlework community. Happy stitching.

[@crossstx4593]

LOVE this FT, the way you change the colors of FLOSS or modify a pattern is so delightful, love it and the what floss you will use is incredible. Great stitching and keep up the fantastic work. Thank you, thank you.

[@barbaralinn6716]

I like that you use your own products and you show how you use them! You give us plenty of time to look at your WIPS. I was thinking that my projects don't look that neat, then it hit me, Iron! I am inspired by the pretty "business cards" thread drops for floss. Can't wait for the macramé and flower demos.

Lori, I loved this episode. It was so nice to see all your stitching and I realize how busy you are and it is a lot of work to make these flosstubes. I really appreciate them. Love the way you organize the floss. I think that’s the way that will work for me. I loved the bushel and peck piece, the frame was perfect. And the garden series in the bowl will be such a great idea. It’s always so inspiring to see your stitching. I want to do everything! Thanks.
