Happy Birthday. Mr Turkey is quite handsome in his new frame.

[@sarahwebb1450]

Such gorgeous finishes and I love your hand dyed fabrics that first one is my favorite. Happy Stitching.

[@joanneseeger5271]

I love your stitching! Your dying turned out wonderful!

[@craftsohard]

Wow, your fabrics are so fun and I love learning more about that process. All those finishes too - amazing! I started In the Library after seeing yours and I am definitely motivated to get back to it. Yours is absolutely gorgeous!

[@joanm31308]

Happy belated birthday, so glad it was a good day for you🥰. Consider yourself an enabler, I’m halfway finished with Turkey Day but after seeing yours stitched on Cauldron(perfect fabric choice) I’ve already placed an order for it and I’m going to finish and gift the one I’m already working on and restitch one for myself on Cauldron. Such beautiful stitching and chef’s kiss on the fabric you dyed! Can’t wait for your next FlossTube. Happy stitching my stitchy friend!

[@connieschweitzer8163]

I have to dig my Turkey Day finished project out and get him framed, I spent the whole video admiring him!! Well I did, also, enjoy the rest of your beautiful work too of course! And wow, your dying projects are amazing!!

[@nancyfinney1314]

You have been very busy! Thank you for sharing this great variety of fun. Loved seeing your dying process-vey involved but worth it!

[@cmdv94]

Happy belated birthday! 🎉🥳 That turkey looks awesome in the frame. Great job! Love the dyed fabrics as well.

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

I so enjoyed listening to your dying process. I love colour and it is fun to listen to someone who is brave and willing to edge beyond the same old same old.

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Belated happy birthday. Bed knobs and Broomsticks was awesome…I must watch it again. I love how you can giggle about the need to frog. 🦉🧵🪡🌻

[@loriholmes8705]

Hi Laura. Beautiful finishes! The turkey’s finished just in time! I like your Autumnal-only conversion of Hawk Run Hollow design. Happy stitching!

[@lindamcivor8486]

Mr Turkey is stunning.

[@SALex_stitches]

What a wonderful video Laura! 😍 Thank you for sharing so much eye candy! Love your stitching and the fabric you dyed is absolutely stunning!! Happy you had a wonderful birthday 😊

[@christybickett7808]

Happy Birthday! Always love your videos

[@cherylkirk1348]

Absolutely love to hear you ramble, love the things you stitch and look forward to your next Flosstube!

[@nicolec2523]

Hi Laura - With your quilting ability, I think you should turn Summer ABC's into a bell pull - I don't think you have made one before. So that would be different. A bit of thin batting and a nice backing fabric would finish it odd nicely. Maybe a thin cording around it in blue and white. The hardware for the bell pull would be far less costly than framing. The vanity sampler - if we were doing a sampler of our own in this day and age, we would use a more "modern" quote on it so I say go ahead and change the wording. Great idea. Woo-whoo - you're designing. Can hardly wait.

[@leswilliams4022]

Who boo four finishes! Congrar!

[@bethanyrutta2377]

Beautiful everything especially that finished turkey!! Amazing!

[@bethanyrutta2377]

Your fabrics are stunning!!

[@melodyanderson3694]

SOOO many beautiful finishes, Love the Book piece and the cake stand of the summer, so pretty, always so wonderful to watch your flosstube God bless and keep stitching !!

[@karenolson2532]

I love playing 😅with rit dye to. It's so fun to play with colour. Great projects Laura.

[@iamastitchnerd2312]

What great projects and your fabric dyeing is amazing!

[@sherriterry9813]

Loved seeing all your beautiful died fabrics. Would love to see a video on how you die them after they are wet and scrunched up on the plate. Did you just pour the other colors on? Maybe you would consider doing a video from start to finish of your technique.

[@grandmaB1948]

Your ABC seasonal Little House Needleworks pieces could be mounted on foamcore or mat board then attached to a fabric covered foamcore framing piece. Then attach washers to the back. Get a simple framed board of the right size and glue magnets to the inside. Now each season can be swapped into the same framing piece. Such long pieces should probably have 3 washers on the back.

[@laurieclausen5813]

love the idea of dyeing my own material, will have to try it

[@britches__get__stitches]

Yay! I'm so glad you're starting Mary Ann Copp! I love stitching her, she's tons of fun! I should pull her back out soon... :) I'm also head over heels for the new Bella Filipina, might have to snag her this month too....

[@KristineSearle]

Laurel, all the fabrics you dyed are so beautiful. I need to try zoom myself!

[@nancyrickenbrode9981]

What beautiful fabric you did. You should look Joan Elliott The Sorceresses. It is beautiful for one of your fabrics.

[@biadoras]

Ooh, if I may come with imput, I really liked your second quote with the Autumn treasures for the Autumn samplers. Love seeing your fabric. But it once again nails to me how I would love to go abroad and visit a "proper" needleworks store and see/buy a bunch of coloured fabric.

[@Karen-xx4xr]

Love your Turkey!

[@nanceymalcom7698]

You should have a Sampler WIPGO board is 2025. That will give you two samplers to work on each month. Just a thought! 😉

[@stavroulak.503]

Happy Birthday Laura, (I've already wished you on Instagram I think, but it doesn't harm to send more wishes to someone, does it? 😜). What a nice video! Beautiful finishes, my favorites are "In the Library" and "Mr. Turkey" in its gorgeous and very fitting frame! I really like "Summer ABC'S" too but I am not very fond of its long shape 😍📚🦃🍉 Amazing WIPs, I mean "Fall on the Farm" and "Autumn in Hawk Run Hollow" are just perfect and you dyed a few really gorgeous fabrics 🎨 Also you got some some really beautiful patterns for your birthday 😍 I am looking forward to watch your progress on all those projects and to see your first pattern 😍🧵🪡

[@GwenK3]

Happy birthday! Love your dying of fabric and the neutral colors. Inspiring. Please share your color changes to the autumn quaker. I will be starting too and haven’t pulled the colors yet. Thank you

[@AliciaO_UpperMeadowStitcher]

Congratulations on your finishes, they are lovely. I loved hearing about your dyeing process, one of these days I’m going to get brave enough to try it! I also really liked your idea of sampler Saturdays, I stitch both seasonal and samplers too and I find that my samplers are taking forever to finish because I’m trying to fit them into a season. 1 week of stitching in only one season makes a sampler take 4 years or more! Maybe taking one and stitching on it every week until it’s done or I’m tired of it would work better.

[@LauraLawsCraftCorner]

Love your finishes

[@sandragrasdock6377]

Love that Turkey ❤❤❤❤❤

[@therunnerstitcher]

I absolutely love your Turkey finish. That frame is so cute for him! Great progress on Comfort Lighthouse! That lighthouse is no joke. I still love your fabric for the piece! Love the little robin designs piece. Great job on the border! I love those Wysocki kits! I always keep an eye on those. Great haul! Oh wow congrats on your fabric dying! Those pieces look amazing. When are you opening your fabric dying etsy shop? ;). I'd buy!

[@LauraLawsCraftCorner]

Laura you should start thinking of selling your fabric you dye yourself. Stunning

[@LauraLawsCraftCorner]

Happy Birthday

[@leetlesnyder]

Hi Laura! Happy Birthday! I just love ALL your projects. Would you remind me which fabric you are stitching Autumn Towne on? It’s so pretty! I think I have to stitch that 🤔🫣

[@deborahwalton9689]

Everything is stunning. Your stitching and OH MY WORD, the fabric you dyed!!! So Delicious girl!!! Are you doing the Jingle Ball? I'm on the fence. I sort of just stalk the rooms because I'm a bit uncomfortable sharing in large groups. ❤

[@HyggeStitcher]

Hi Laura !! I’m excited to visit with you today !! ❤❤❤

[@dianamyery8402]

I also enjoy dying fabric. I’ve done it numerous times and I will do it again in the future. I just love the mixing of the colors and seeing how it turns out. So I flew into Salt Lake on 11 September. My girlfriend and her daughter picked me up and we drove the 7 1/2 miles to Casper Wyoming for the Crazy Woman Retreat, it was a great time. I finished four projects there got to ring the cowbell. Then we came back on Sunday and spent the night at a hotel 2 miles from the airport and flew home Monday morning so I’m sorry I did not get to have time to have a meet up with you maybe we can do it next time.some of the people from my retreat are going to go to Cindy’s on October 5 for a Stiching meet up. Brenda is going to be there. I’m sure you know who she is. And I would love to be there but can’t make it happen.

[@molliemcmaker]

1:17:45 place mark for dying process for future me 😆❤

[@theresaclark762]

Happy Birthday, You showed the moonbeam tea chart, which I got right away. I made 2 of them now, did them in DMC, on Storm 20 ct fabric. But I didn't care for the flowers under the grass, so I omitted that, but I felt it needed the title to explain the scene, so I charted the title on the bottom. These are christmas gifts for my boys (men) who love their tea and it's not girly. I like the second poem for your sampler ( not the forest one). I see spiders are just fine for your autumn piece because I've been brushing spider webs down for this last month in my home. They are busy! With your dyeing process, do you find the stitch count change? So you are pouring the dye on the fabric on the plate, not in a bowl? And the microwave is doing the dye setting?

[@biadoras]

🦃

[@NatashaKime]

What are your seasonal alphabet patterns called. I believe I would like to do those as well

[@GowiththeFloStitcher]

Hi Laura!! I sent you an email! I love your homemade dyed fabrics and had a question for you!! ❤
