Okay, several weeks late to the party - happy, happy birthday Olivia. I hope you enjoyed your special day, such a nice idea to take the day off of work. As always, I love seeing everything you stitch!!!!!! And your drawer of pride was fantastic. Happy Stitching and I hope our paths cross again in the near future. -Carolyn

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Carolyn! I'm ready for another trip to NIHS when you are!

Hi, Olivia! Happy Birthday to you! 🎉 I hope it was a wonderful one. ☺️ I so enjoyed seeing Houses of HRH, and I hope one day to start it myself. The Cedar River linen is a perfect choice for it. Thanks for the idea of kitting it block by block…I find kitting up to be very stressful, so that would be much less overwhelming. So many interesting and different projects you showed us today, and I enjoyed seeing them all. A day with a video by Olivia B is a very good day indeed! 🤗🩷 Meline

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Aww, thanks so much, Meline, for the kind words! I find kitting up a bit stressful too, especially when I need to put the threads on cards and what not. It does keep me from starting a ton of new projects, though!

[@deechrisman2219]

Happy Birthday Olivia! Hope you have a great day. And I loved the big ass sheep!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Lol! Thanks Dee!

[@conniesiefken4696]

Happy birthday, Olivia! I also have a large container of finished pieces, just not FFO'd. It is fun to look back and see everything that is stitched. When I moved, I made the effort to put all my finished pieces into one tub rather than have them spread out in various places. Someday...

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Connie! Protect that tub with your life!! :)

Happy birthday to you! It's my birthday, also, but I'm a bit older.😊 So happy to see a flosstube, although, I do enjoy your unboxing videos.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you, Rhona! A belated happy birthday to you too!

[@iamastitchnerd2312]

I’m so close to finishing Wildflowers. After seeing yours I feel like mine needs to come back out. Loved seeing your finishes!!!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

You've got this! Go for the finish!

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Olivia H.B. Great Video love to see all your projects. Take care ❤

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Yvonne!

[@jonij794]

Happy birthday. Love the drawer of pride! I have so much in my drawer. It’s okay with me as I had fun stitching them and finishing is just not my priority.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you! I'll get them to them one day, I'm sure!

[@aliceschultz3182]

It was so fun seeing your Flosstube. You have such a great esthetic with the type of projects you do. I have a suggestion for some of your finishes. The Curious Crafters last few videos have presented a new way to fully finish. They refer to them as tiles. They do them as flats and put them in wooden stands. A great alternative. Happy Easter!!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Alice! Yes, I've seen them, super cute!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Hello and belated Birthday wishes...loved all you shared...best wishes ❤❤

Hello! I just found your shop last week. (ordered the Mermaid and the sea :)). Today you are in my suggested videos! Small community sometimes. Love your choices in stitching. Nice to meet you, see you next video!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

That's awesome! Thank you so much for watching and for your order!

[@triciabenich]

I loved Gentleman Jack! and I have Summerfield, the chart. Whenever you start i will glom on, as I like to do (to you 😂), and sal. You have made so much progress on Lazy Bear Mountain! The Stacy Nash tomato lady chart looks amazing on that deep blue linen. Loved seeing all of your (and Elena’s) finished pieces! I have all those seasonal teacups charts. They are all so beautiful. ( and yes Cuore Batticuore i think). Thanks for sharing! xx

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Tricia! I love a good glom!! And I loved seeing you on Flosstube! I hope you come back soon!!

Thank you, Joanne! What a wonderful wish!

[@kimladd3914]

Happy birthday, Olivia!!! I think you gave all of us a “gift” by filming another AWESOME video. Wooza! Love all your WIP’s and seeing the drawer of pride. (We all have them-mine happens to be a Rubbermaid container too!). Dang, those NPI’s are just so striking & fun to stitch with. Wishing you a year full of health, happiness & hours upon hours of stitching 😊. (Not that my opinion matters 😉 but I “hope” you start Sparrow Creek!!!! I’ve never seen that chart……must go to Hillside Rookery)

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks so much, Kim! Your opinion does matter, and it's very enabling!

[@red_river_stitcher]

Happy birthday, Olivia! I hope your birthday was amazing. I loved seeing everything you’re working on. I’m very tempted to start the Houses of Hawk Run. You have many beautiful finishes in your drawer! I’m so excited about Quilt Tube! ♥️♥️

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you're doing Quilt Tube! So much inspiration!!

[@molliemcmaker]

Your wildflower piece is beautiful!! I just randomly looked at my Autumn on Lazy Bear Mt today and I was like, I can’t stitch on that it’s not the right season, after seeing yours maybe it’s a sign that I should pull it out and put some stitches in. 😆😆

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Mollie! I do love that piece all year long!

[@loisgood3136]

Happy Birthday. Hope you had a great day

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

[@lollipopc4901]

Happy Happy Birthday dear Olivia! I hope you have had a wonderful day! Thank you for your video. I loved your show and tell of your finishes. Everything is beautiful (in it's own way? 😊). I think it's great that you mention your shop. So often we stitchers pause a Flosstube to track down a pattern 😏 Your Kathy Barrick flower finish is gorgeous, especially on that fabric. I have watched your tutorials and unboxings and look forward to all of your videos. Take good care and happy stitching! Laurel 💕

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Laurel! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos!

Happy Birthday! The Stacy Nash Christmas chart has been lingering in my To-Do Pile along with the AEIOU (?), saw it on a shop tour video of Country Sampler in darker colors and loved it. Can you use the small quilt block with the Prairie Schooler A&B finished pieces to make a needle book or thread bed?? So many great pieces you and sister have completed.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Kristy! I've been wanting to stitch Mustard Moon forever; I need to start it already!

[@texstylust]

Soooo many lovely finishes. Who designed the Pomegranate House. It’s so pretty! An idea for Elaina’s Japanese letter stitch would be to put it on a rice bag. It would look awesome! I can get you the name of the pattern if you’re interested.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Lori! Great idea, I'll run it by her! Pomegranate House is from Not Forgotten Farm.

[@ConnieVanzant]

An idea for your sister's prices..... incorporate them in a lap quilt and/or project bag with fabrics she would like and tell your sister I miss her videos....and so glad to see you again

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks, Connie! I'll let her know!

[@loishoag8687]

Olivia, I take it that the 12 Days of Christmas Sewing Roll by Stacy Nash is out of print. I cannot find it, but I want it!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

I'll see if I can get it from her!

[@TheStitchingOwl]

Hi Olivia. I changed my paper Modern Folk Embroidery into Pattern Keeper and am managing so much better. Jacob is a lovely person…reach out and explain your issue and he might provide you with that one full chart you need.

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks! I will!

[@nityaviswanath894]

Hi Olivia! I'm new to your channel and love your beautiful stitching! Well I found a couple of Kathy Barrick pieces to add to my list. That Enchanted piece is lovely. Do you stitch with a lot of silks? Do you enjoy using the NPIs? I've never tried them before. Happy stitching!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Thanks so much! I do like to stitch with NPI silks when I have the opportunity. I find them very enjoyable to work with.

[@nityaviswanath894]

Also, are those tiny pillows behind you the La d da crows? They are so cute!

[@OliviaBFlosstube]

Yes, they are! Thank you!
