[@cherylshull1026]

I love your videos! You are so talented! Happy birthday Lori! 🎂🎉🎊🎁🎈🎂

[@maryhint21]

Hi Lori! It was wonderful to watch your video and relive the fabulous retreat in Amana. I'm the one who gave you those 2 Prairie Schooler Santa charts. I've always loved Prairie Schooler. In fact, I have more Prairie Schooler charts than any designer but Brenda Gervais comes in second. Happy belated birthday. I celebrated a birthday last week as well.

[@texstylust]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Mary!! Happy belated birthday to you! Could you PM me your address? I have something I would like to share with you. Also, did you happen to be one of the ladies that purchase my PS journal?

[@MarleneBush]

I loved every single minute of this video! What a sweet present from your son....I’m not sure my son knows anything at all about cross stitch. I hope your birthday was wonderful! Blessings, Marlene

[@texstylust]

Thank you my sweet friend. I was so impressed and my heart was touched that he took the time to remember and chose something!

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

You got some great stuff! I love Brenda's patterns. I wish she still did punchneedle patterns.

[@lorettahenderson8979]

A very happy birthday…and may you have many more❤️…this was a beautiful video…glad you had so much fun…shopping, visiting, and enjoying Brenda as a guest designer…please remember there is never to much chit-chat at a retreat…wishing you joy and happy stitching/quilting/crafting✂️🔆🪡🧵❤️

[@julievanderheide5794]

Great video! I sure enjoyed it!! Take care.

[@bikejen]

Tomorrow's Heirlooms is super!

[@JennyFleming]

Oh that retreat sounds like so much fun! I love that Cathy put a spot to write the color and company of the thread on her floss tags. So thoughtful. And that Needlecraft Magazine is amazing! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈and I know you’ll enjoy stitching up the Long Dog!!

[@robingregg5928]

Loved your video. So glad I found you. I've started the Santa's too.

[@allisonferber5474]

Fun, fun, fun!

[@jennyglover3267]

Happy belated Birthday! Really enjoyed your floss tube...I live in SE Iowa so Amana and Kalona are very familiar to me!!

[@texstylust]

Thank you!!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Happy belated birthday!!! Sooo many goodies, you make me want all of the autumnal wool applique kits!! The Woolen Needle is definitely on my bucket list now. I better start saving! Christmas Cottage from Brenda Gervais is one of my most favorite Christmas designs ever. I have yet to stitch it, though! So many amazing charts, so little time. It was great to get to hang out with you again my friend, even if it was virtually. 😘💝

[@livefromthesheshackwithdaw6479]

As always, it was so amazing to see you and hang out. 💕. Love all your haul and your video

[@gerryfix1009]

Loved your floss tube. I like that crinkle sound you apologize for. Now scrape against a blackboard,NO. I love Anne of Green Gables too. My favorite DVD is the one where Megan Fellows plays Anne, I think her name, is the one I love. I think Kevin Sullivan? Directed or made. In Canada? Beautiful. They were played on PBS years ago. I think they may still play that one there.

[@texstylust]

Yes, that’s the one (with Megan Fellows). The new one on Netflix is good too, more realistic, less romantic. It put PEI on my bucket list. ☺️

[@mrsmiggins6435]

WOW!!! What a haul. Retreat sounded wonderful!🎈. Sending belated Happy birthday wishes💐🎉. Take care and enjoy all your goodies🤗

[@bethkrouse8946]

Happy Birthday a few days late!! Your video was wonderful, I feel like I was at retreat with you! Signed up for May, hope to see you then!!

[@texstylust]

Yay!!! See you then!

[@sarahpatedaniell619]

Well I am so glad that you and Lisa had such a wonderful Fall MidWest retreat. You certainly deserve it, pretty rough last year and so much to celebrate. Thank you for preparing and sharing all the goodies from the retreat. I am looking forward to finding a spring retreat and will be attending Dyeing to Stitch retreat in the fall 2022! Have to save some pennies, going to England twice next year...Do you mind sharing what linen you are using for your Prairie Schooler Santas?Grace & Peace dear Lori ....take care

[@texstylust]

How exciting for your trips to England!!! Do you have family there or for fun? Congratulations on getting into the Dyeing to Stitch! Their retreats are wonderful. I am using a 30ct Raw Linen for the Prairie Schoolars. It’s stiff when you first start with it, but softens quickly. I love the look of it.

[@llking50]

I just love your Flosstube. I'm a fellow Oregonian. I was born and raised in Portland. I transplanted to the Houston Texas area. You do such beautiful work. Happy Stitching!!! Also Happy Belated Birthday!!!

[@debbiereynolds9276]

Yes, what a great video. I have to mention I did order and received Over the River…from Crabapple Hill because I fell in love with your quilt. Hopefully a graduation gift for a grandchild, one from school and one from college. I did have to get a tablet and take notes from your haul from Brenda Gervais. And I ordered a Prairie School Santa and it due to come any day now. Love the idea of your tablet to keep track. What a great idea……Happy Belated Birthday 🎂🍁🍂🌻

[@wendyboomer-margerm2774]

Happy Birthday. What a wonderful gift from your son, it’s very thoughtful of him. The retreat sounds amazing. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

[@marshakruze6056]

Happy Birthday! What a fabulous retreat and trip. It’s great to have a travel companion that enjoys similar things. It can get expensive, but it sure is fun. Looking forward to your WIP parade. And, that is my favorite LongDogSampler. I can’t wait to see what you pick for that.

[@meghanmaybon8994]

Happy Birthday! How sweet & thoughtful of your son, daughter and granddaughter on their gift choices! It looks like you had an amazing retreat too. My oldest sons initials are MJM so I was suprised to hear of the family tradition on your husband's side. I'm glad you made it home safely and with so many lovely treasures.

[@junewood3012]

I just watched this Flosstube, first one, as the @kindredstitcher suggested you ❣️ I'll be back, looking forward to your WIP parade 😉. ( @quiltbug62 on IG )

[@giselem.kusmik5110]

What a PLEASURE to see your update! I LOVE your haul from all the different stores and different future projects! Thank you for filming this one! ☺️💖

[@nevadastitcher]

Thank you for sharing your retreat findings with us! I love to see haul and new stitching goodies! I was at Amana and the Woolen Needle in September. I purchased the Harvest Time wool kit. I’ve been trying to finish some WIPs before I dig into the wool though. I would love to attend a Brenda Gervais retreat some day. I’m hoping she puts her exclusives back on her website. That gingerbread kit is absolutely darling!! 🧵🪡✂️😊

[@debbierice2618]

Your son’s sampler selection is very nice. Is your son a Knight’s Templar?😊

[@texstylust]

I’m pretty sure interest in history and a dragon had something to do with it! ☺️
