I very much enjoyed your video. Loved all your projects. Thanks for sharing how you walk with God thru the difficult times.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I'm so glad you're in this with me and gaining encouragement though my sharing. I love it!!

[@bryan-qt5gk]

It was so good to see you doing well. You’ve been missed. It’s so hard when we are caring for a loved one. Thnpank you far all you share with us both creatively and spiritually. 💕

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Thank you!!! Yes, my heart feels weary....

[@debbiehunter6222]

Love your wool projects 🥰 I enjoy your videos so much and love your scripture readings at the end. Very uplifting 😊

[@michellechapman6172]

Hi Sweet Lady, I just had to tell ya that I’m so proud of you for your courage, strength, & faith! Love your beautiful needlework, so very pretty & you are so talented. But I had to let ya know that your talk at the end really touched me 🙏🏻, I’m so proud that you put your faith out there & are not afraid to say it!!!! I’m in a similar situation with being a full time caregiver to my disabled veteran husband & part time for my elderly Mother. It’s hard & I pray God gives you peace & Love along your journey. It’s like you were speaking to me personally, so thank you 🙏🏻! Prayers, Love & keep stitching! Blessings

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh!!! I appreciate your sweet encouragement so much!!! You are doing such great and challenging work as well. God is our strength and our hope!!! So glad you felt the support and encouragement, as well! Isn't it awesome how God can bind us together with these common bonds and lift each other up???

[@kathyharris7158]

Loved seeing all your projects. I love making project bags so I especially liked your squirrel and snowman bags.

[@anniebeezfolkart2558]

I love love love all your beautiful quilts and projects!! Thanks for the video!

[@kittyt.4241]

Oh, I can relate to so much of what you shared at the end. Be well. Enjoyed seeing the projects that you shared.

[@kathyb.8769]

Bonnie.... I am SOOO glad you are rebounding.... As always, was worried.. I pray for continued healing and for peace... for your choices, as difficult as they are right now .. and the strength, both physically and spiritually to heal... I suffer from clinical depression and I don't always win the battle, but our Jesus is always with us and just a prayer away.. God Bless and Fully Restore you!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Thank you, Kathy!! I've had so much going on stretching me to the limit!! We all have and it's just exhausting. Specially those of us who struggle with our emotions. Stitching and Jesus!!! I've been getting some more projects FFOed and learning some new skills. It's quite addicting now....getting that finished pile turned into different things. I've been watching more Vonna videos and learned lacing and it was easy...just time consuming. I'll show you soon!

[@kathyb.8769]

@@logcabinstitcher7274 oh Bonnie I am so glad you responded. Was thinking and praying about you a lot. Recently hoping you were well and I’d get to see your beautiful face and beautiful spirit. Things are so scary in these days and now with this delta … afraid to leave the house anymore! Keep in touch. Always in my thoughts and always in my prayers….

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

I am so glad to see you again!!! Glad you are feeling better. When a little too much time goes by and no sign from you, it gets a little worrisome. I don’t know whether to bother you or not. Anyway, happy to see you again!! Your projects are beautiful and I love the needle roll!! Nice haul at the antique stores too. Old frames are my favorite!! Hopefully, I’m sure a ways off, we’ll be able to see your cabin. I would love a getaway!! We must always know God is with us. God bless you Bonnie.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

See....I go into hide and stitch mode quite alot!! I love that you care about me and miss me!! I've been pulling back from the outside world, I guess. I have been bad at checking my emails and comments and even Instagram for the past month. My life has been so hectic, I just like to hide in my sweet sewing room or cabin. I've been doing lots of full finishes again, so I'll be doing a video tomorrow I hope!!! See you soon

[@darlenewener9726]

Gorgeous bags and finishes.

[@theresachucle5362]

Hi 👋 Bonnie good to see you!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Thank you, sweet Theresa!! I sure missed you guys!

[@dianelemon3699]

Hi bonnie. So glad i found your flosstube . i love love your needl3 book and all your wool things. Your stitching is so perfect and you pick such awesome colors. God bless you and keep stitching...please

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh, Diane! I'm so glad you found me and enjoy my stitching and my stories!! I've been busy and have lots more to share in a day or two. Thank you for being in my sweet stitching family!!

[@lisamaestas6642]

Bonnie, thank you for sharing "the good stuff" with us. Your stitching is beautiful and I enjoy seeing your work, but sharing your faith lifts me up each time I watch you. You are a light for me, thank you!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh, thank you for your encouragement!! It means so much to me that you stay and watch to the end and share in The Good Stuff!!!

[@craftfunforever8100]

Hi just wanted to say I loved the video but mostly the end . I love how God answers prayer. Sometimes he touches our hearts through a book or a sermon or just a word from someone. He knows just the right way to show us he is with us. Thank you for sharing. It's so true every breath is from his hand alone . One of my favorite songs we sing in church is God's breath in our lungs 😊 I can relate to the med problems I react to just about everything .I love all your projects I am working on a quilt for me this time I think lol. I realized I love tiny blocks 4x4 who new lol.... it's been a help to get some of my stress levels down . Along with cross stitching. Love your bags I so need to make some .question do you cross stitch in hand or hoops .I am also taking a big step and trying my hand at needle appilque I am excited I ordered a tiny iron and learning a lot from videos so I hope to try this weekend 😊I have only done the blanket stitch my sewing machine. So will see. Your videos inspire me have a blessed week .

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

So glad you're trying your hand at applique!!! My favorite method is the freezer paper and starch so the edges are turned over before I put them on the fabric. I've tried several different ways, and that's alot of prep work, but then the stitching is a breeze. You'll have fun and experiment. Lots of great videos. See what's comfortable for you. I stitch in a hoop. I've tried the Q snap and didn't like it. I've tried stitching in hand and didn't like it. I l learned as a teen to stitch in a hoop and that just feels right!!! I was just at Primitive Gatherings (Lisa Bongean's quilt store) and she has designed so many tiny blocks!! Lots of displays and patterns for them.

[@margomcintosh763]

As I listened to your sadness I could feel it with you. I cared for my mother as she was ill and then terminal. She died in our home in April of this year. It was such a hard time for me but at the same time I’m so grateful to have been able to do this for her. She had cancer that went to her brain so with seizures and hallucinations and pain it was a very hard few months. I do natural health as well and have been working since to rebuild my adrenals and move forward. My stitching and quilting has really helped with that. I wish you complete healing. You are so talented and I just love seeing everything you do.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Margo, sounds like you've been so worn out, and for good reason. Yes, it is such a blessing to help those we love, but you have much restoring and recovery to keep your health up. Good girl on the natural health and stitching to gain your peace of mind and body back!!!!

[@myralewis1714]

Another wonderful post. What talent dear one. I about jumped outta my chair when you said you got the shaker boxes for $19.00 ... holy cow. I continue to pray for you sweet girl. My friend in the UK sent me a video from Tucker Carlson that aired a couple days ago. I had seen it and was going to send it to her .... she beat me to it. Anyway, you must watch this ...MUST! It's only 7 mins. long . It's part of an interview with John Voight. It wasn't planned.... that's what makes it extraordinary. ❤😘

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

It's been way too long since I read my comments....Myra, you are such a joy!! I know....I got some great old things at wonderful prices! Old stuff is just the best!! I need to check out the Jon Voight interview....I like Tucker's shorts on youtube....that's how I'm watching most of my news.....I check my favorites and watch the shorts...and then back to flosstube!!

[@cindygaudet1390]

Oh that scissor keep! Even if i just use quilted fabric I need to try to make it. I have nothing to hold my scissors and always worry-it may wreak my fabric etc. Love that heart pillow. Ohh I want to do this stuff! I need to win even a small lotto.lol don’t buy tickets but.. 😉 lo, oh love that quilt! Hey garden fence! Ohoh thanks! I have some I am not using be great for a finish! I only have2 fabric stores and-no big box stores that have fabric. If I hadn’t been monogamous in July with stocking I would have done just get it done. Our garage is terrible too,but none is mine so… till he can get to it… sigh.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Cindy, I love your excitement with all my finishes! It's funny, all these things we have lying around our house (or garage!) and then we find the perfect use for them!! I'm just cutting up an old favorite denim dress to make a wool applique project bag. Try some denim from old clothes and it should work great for keeping those scissors from hurting anything! Or even canvas or corduroyyou get the picture!

[@kade1699]

Thank you for sharing all your lovely projects!! Thank you, too, for sharing about your life at the end. You seem such a beautiful person and I admire your lively faith.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh, thank you!!! I'm so glad you stay to the end for the Good Stuff and get inspiration and joy from it!

[@patricedodd2068]

As always I so much enjoyed your sharing all your beautiful works and all of your thoughts.

[@eastergal]

What a great start to my day getting to see your beautiful projects and hear you beautiful testimony! I'm so glad you're feeling better and I hope you continue to do so. Some times life is just hard, but so worth it in the end. Take care of yourself and enjoy all of your handwork. Hugs!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Thank you, Frankie!! Yes, life is such a challenge!!!! But there is joy, as well, and I need to keep my eyes on that and my Jesus!!

[@lindaklinedinst9236]

Wow - Your Projects are so beautiful - you amaze me with all of the Quilting - Stitching that you are doing and have done. Take Care - Happy Stitching ❤️

[@gaylefansler266]

Love your wool project's. Love the material you used with the snowman.

[@jennistitchingsimply]

Hi Sweet Bonnie! I was so excited to spend time with you today! All of your wool projects are so beautiful ... all of your projects are. Your shaker box find is such a treasure! They are so lovely! I am so glad that you are doing better, and I am excited to get to watch part 2:)

[@tonifaidley2067]

I love the dresser you bought. What a good price... I would love to find one for that price...❤️

[@tonifaidley2067]

And the Shaker boxes...I’m jealous!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I know!!! What wonderful prices!!! I was so excited. WE put the dresser in our cabin bathroom and it just looks perfect. Old and weathered, but beautiful and right at home!! Hope you find some treasures, too!

[@MarieH528]

Hi Bonnie! Loved the video and All that You shared, take care and God Bless You!

[@greenstickcottage]

Happy to see your smiling face again! 🤗 It seems like one of the hardest things to do sometimes is to be still and know that He is mighty in our behalf.❤❤❤ Loved seeing all of your pretty projects and all of your recent acquisitions.

[@theresachucle5362]

Enjoyed seeing all your beautiful projects I love all your wool appliqué quilts. I’m so glad you are feeling better I wish we were neighbors to give each other support. Our Lord has you in his palm ✋ and will always keep you safe. Have a wonderful weekend and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩

[@laplibrarian6094]

So glad you're feeling better! What devotional did you read from today? Thank you and God Bless You!

[@laplibrarian6094]

Nevermind! You just mentioned it! Thank you!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh, I forgot to say...It's Billy Graham's HOPE for Each Day Morning and Evening Devotions. I also gave one to my Dad that was just one devotion a day. I love them!!

[@carmentaylor3706]

Bonnie, you look so beautiful today, you look great in patriotic colors. I love, love, LOVE all your projects especially all your gorgeous quilts. I do have a question about your hand quilting, do you use a q snap while you’re sewing your quilts or do you just sew free hand? Can you show us how you hand quilt your quilts?

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Sweet Carmen!!! I stitch 'in hand' when I hand quilt. It's funny...hoop for cross stitch and then both embroidery and hand quilting in hand....go figure!! I'll figure out how to do a video showing my stitching....It's so much easier in person....but I wish that was possible...so I'll do a 'tutorial...not tutorial!!' Thank you for your sweet encouragement!

[@pattyreid737]

Which one of your videos do you show how you do the large stitch hand quilting? I want to try. In the past, my hands get arthritis, but I love the look. Thanks Bonnie, you are the best!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Oh, thank you Patty!! I've never really done a tutorial, just kinda talk about it. I need to get on the ball and show how I stitch. I'll give it a try. I love seeing how others share their stitching...I'm just not very organized.

[@pattyreid737]

@@logcabinstitcher7274 oh, I think you are very organized, just VERY busy! And in the middle of all you do, you get so much stitching and sewing done. Amazing! Thanks Bonnie, God bless you!

[@nancysneedlework9199]

Boy, did I ever need a video(s) from you. Always such wonderful items and knowledge you share. I love your style of hand quilting. Do you keep your needle on the top of the quilt or use a stab method?

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I'm sorry for the late reply!! I stitch in hand and keep the needle on top of the quilt. I need to do a little demo very soon. I usually load up about 3 or 4 stitches on the needle and then pull the thread through, adjust my hold on the quilt, and then do it again.
