[@hobbiesofholly]

Thanks so much!

[@karenhobbs8800]

Antique and Law Thank you for a wonderful flosstube. I struggle with thinking outside the box. What draws me to the cross stitch is how it was charted to begin. It's fun to see other takes, though. Same with fabric as well because that can change the look of the piece as well.

[@hobbiesofholly]

I totally agree!!

[@noretteherzog2493]

Love all your stitching and project choices! Prayers for Graham and your daughter! Santa

[@hobbiesofholly]

Thank you so much!

I just finished watching all of your videos over the last couple of weeks. I love your enthusiasm for and knowledge about stitching, and your positivity in general.

[@hobbiesofholly]

Oh how fun!

[@traceyreed8]

Hello Holly… enjoyed your flosstube as always. Loved all your finishes. I have started my Santa stitching. The antique and law patterns would be an awesome addition to by collection.

[@hobbiesofholly]

Thank you! I think Shellie’s charts are so lovely!

[@janelldaley9403]

Love your 301 all at home in its table. I came across one several years ago and love it, along with my featherweight. Those yarns you bought are great! I have fallen so far down the cross stitch rabbit hole that I’ve been neglecting my knitting so I just bad to stash for “one day” 😂. The GaRon Santa bag is adorable. Best wishes to you and your family….love the yarn store pig scavenger hunt game. 😂🪡✂️🧵🧶💕

[@hobbiesofholly]

Thank you! I’m glad to hear you love your 301!! I tend to float from stitching to knitting to quilting and back again!

Good Afternoon Holly. Enjoyed the flosstube greatly. You have a lot of fun projects. I’m ready to stitch a Santa project, since Christmas is around the corner.

[@hobbiesofholly]

And who could blame you, they are so fun!

Hi Holly, always enjoy spending time seeing what you are working on and what you want to work on. I heard you mention Judy’s stitchery nook in Harlingen Texas. Judy is a longtime friend. Sadly she has closed her shop so we no longer have a LNS close. Enjoy every stitch I and will look forward to your next FlossTube. Santa will be here before we know it.

[@hobbiesofholly]

Oh I’m sorry to hear she has closed!

[@julieschulz5798]

Holly you are so fun and informative, oh and did I mention influencer of wanting to buy all the things…lol. Love love love the Santa bag! Hope everyone starts feeling better soon. Can’t wait to see what you have for us next week. Have a great day!

Oh I’m glad you got the pattern!! Sept is MUCH better, thank you!

[@connieerikson5150]

I have 3 301 singers and I love them all. I don’t have a black one but I have a black featherweight. We found it in a cupboard after my mother in law died. Never knew it was there. Congratulations on winning, Santa visited you early!

Always enjoy your videos, Holly! I’ve actually answered a few of your questions out loud as truly feels like you are with me in my livingroom! That Santa pattern and bag are precious! Your sewing machine talk has inspired me to get mine out, finally, I haven’t used it in years but I really want to make some pillows with some of my finishes, I’m a procrastinator🤣

[@hobbiesofholly]

Oh that’s funny, I do that too sometimes! Then can’t remember what I wanted to say when the video ends and it’s time to comment :) Get that machine out and make those pillows! I’ll need pics!

[@charj57]

Oh your patch work cover, like the old brown paper sack trick with our school books. I enjoy Satsuma too. I should stitch up a Santa one.

[@hobbiesofholly]

Exactly like a book cover but sewn closed!

Love to see your projects. I’m not a knitter but seeing your projects makes me want to get a crochet project started now that the weather is cooler. Antique, santa

[@hobbiesofholly]

oh I hope you get that crochet out! I just saw a cute project bag on IG that was lined crochet and it made me want to try one!

[@hucl_berrystitcher]

I think I could listen to you all day, so uplifting! You are kind, I'm sure you obey the law and like me, you coul be considered an antique and believe Santa lives in your heart!

You are sweet!!

[@sharonpatnode454]

Antique really enjoyed your finishes….I rarely finish my projects unless it’s for a small exchange….enjoyed

[@hobbiesofholly]

I tend to put mine away for future finishing but it feels so good to finish a few!

[@carolfawcett1297]

Hi Holly! You sure had a lot of beautiful stitching and yarn to show! I need some prayers, as I am having neurosurgery at Cleveland Clinic on Wednesday 9/18. I have been diagnosed with a good size benign tumor on my left side near my eye, and temple. It is pressing on my eye socket and my brain. It is growing on a bone so although it is not cancer, it is scary! I hope to be back stitching soon, and in the meantime I hope to watch a lot of flosstube! Sometime when you come to Cleveland again, it would be so nice to meet and stitch with you if you have time! Sorry to hear that Graham is sick and I hope he feels better soon.

[@hobbiesofholly]

Carol! I’m so sorry you’re facing surgery! Even though it’s not cancer (and I’m so glad!) it’s still a lot to go through! I’m writing the date on my calendar so I can be praying! If you’re comfortable emailing your address, I’d love to send you a card!

I really enjoyed seeing all your beautiful finishes! You have been busy! Congratulations on winning a prize from Sheri, Colorado Cross Stitcher. So happy that you won all those goodies! Your sewing machine looks great and in excellent condition. What a great find! Love seeing the socks, but I am hopeless knitting. Once I make a mistake and have to rip out, I cannot find where I need to restart. So I don't knit very much at all. Glad you got to visit us here in SC even though I live in the upstate north of Greenville. If I had known you were going to Sassy Jacks, I would have tried to meet up with you there. There is also Sandy's X-Stitch on the Go in Hendersonville, NC. She is a very talented needleworker and has a shop. If you call ahead, she will open by appointment if the shop isn't open on certain days. Take cash or check, no cards. Let me know when you get out this way again. Happy Stitching, Knitting, and Finishing! Dottie

[@hobbiesofholly]

Hi Dottie! Ripping out is so stressy! I think I saw a video with some tips when that needs to happen and I need to find it! that’s great to know about Sandy’s! I’ll try to let you know if I get in the area again soon! Next hoped trip will be in the spring!
