Flosstube #54 Spring and Summer Stitching, What I’ve Been Working On, Finishes and More

[@bernicefischels6621]

This was a great video! I love your antique stand picture frame 😊. Tulips are my favorite SPRING flower.

[@lauriewalt31]

Hi! I was wondering if you would consider doing a tutorial on the knitting bag you made. I purchased the book and could use a step by step visual tute! As always, love everything thing you do❤️

[@texstylust]

I could do that! Or, at least walk through the instructions that are confusing.

[@cinn1217]

Fall designs are my favorite! Trees of all different size, colors and😂 shapes are so fun to stitch. Crow

[@rebeccajourney3183]

Always love seeing all the beautiful projects you bring to the table! And your granddaughters gown, zowie!! Gorgeousness❤ And I love your photographs of one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen! And your kit cats of course! What fun❤❤

[@texstylust]

Thank you so much!

[@darlenewiebe7577]

I do enjoyed your video this evening as I sat and crocheted. Thank you so much.

[@texstylust]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sandyevenson-hagen370]

A wonderful video, thanks for sharing all things SPRING. My tulips are the first flowers I see as winter leaves and spring begins. I am a huge fan of Brenda Gervais and I love all of her sewing/ tomato theme charts. I have fabric picked out for bag that Heather, Janet and Kathy shared on their floss tubes. Your kitty theme fabric is perfect! Happy Spring and Happy Easter! 🐰🐣🐰

[@texstylust]

Thank you Sandy!!

[@Imthebeachgirl]

Loved your finishes! Jeans and farm fresh patterns are cute. Favorite flower of all time are gardenia. Lilacs a close second. ❤

[@thread.needle.scissorsstcl9537]

I absolutely love peonies! I once owed my grandmother's farm and had 201 peony bushes. They would come in a sea of hot pink every Spring!

[@texstylust]

Oh my gosh that sounds lovely!!! There is a peony farm just over the mountain pass from me. I hope to visit it some day!

[@michellecole7028]

I love peonies, lilacs, and lupine! Spring! Really enjoy your videos. Something about your voice is soothing and relaxing! And I love your stitching choices!

[@texstylust]

Thank you so much Michelle!

[@cherylmiddleton2442]

My favorite spring flowers are bleeding heart. I’d say red tulips are my second choice. I’ll have to get out my jeans and pretend I’m planting on the farm and fill the beds with loads of flowers this year.🥰

[@CathyGardner-e5m]

Spring. My favorites are the peach colored peonies that bloom outside my back door.

[@southernblueskies631]

Spring Robins have arrived and so have the pocket gophers. Beautiful eye candy!

[@texstylust]

Oh no!!! No lawn here, so they aren’t an issue.

[@Coloradoplainsstitcher]

Peonies and daffodils are my favorite spring flowers. I have tried tulips in my backyard, but the deer love them just as much as I do and they never get to open. thanks again for a great video that really sent me down the rabbit hole of Brenda Gervais and shopping, again!

[@loribackes9321]

Although it is spring we still have 3 feet of snow and ski season is going strong. Lilacs are my favorite.

[@susanreznik5822]

My favorite spring flowers are Lavender. FARM.. Enjoyed all the stitching, knitting, and crochet shares.

[@kade1699]

Such a pleasure to spend time with you, Lori! Thank you so much for this video, and for sharing all your LOVELY projects!! It is a beautiful Spring day here in Northern Idaho but I wouldn't be surprised if we have snow again before Easter! All the very best to you!

[@texstylust]

Sending Spring vibes your way!

Peonies are my favorite spring flower, too! I also love hyacinths and tulips!

[@texstylust]

Mine too!

[@gwenembardino2684]

Spring is upon us and Lilacs are my favorite flower. I am also Brenda Gervais fan. Can’t get enough of her patterns.

[@catheyok]

When I heard your words for today’s video, spring jeans, and farm, it made me think about Mr Green Jeans from Captain Kangaroo. 😊. It’s so hard to have a favorite spring flower because I love them all. I picked a small bouquet of daffodils and grape hyacinths from my yard today. I love azaleas, lilacs, peonies (I say it like your grandma) and lily of the valley and redbud blossoms. Oh! And poppies. Thanks for the wonderful video and tons of inspiration. I really love the bird quilt!

[@texstylust]

Oh my gosh! Captain Kangaroo! ☺️

[@marymyers4140]

My favorite spring flowers are lily of the valley and lilacs - love the scents. I love samplers, so i love Spring chart.

[@nancysumma6560]

So many beautiful projects! Too bad we need sleep!!!! My favorite flower in the spring is the tulip!

[@texstylust]

Agreed!

[@lizg9022]

Thank you for sharing your Spring and Summer stitching plans. You always inspire me!

[@amyjepson2528]

I am a big Blackbird stitcher, and always when you share your BBD stitching. I am also an avid gardener and love Spring!

[@texstylust]

Me too!

[@LovesRubberstampsNeedleCrafts]

You have some gorgeous bunny patterns!! My wish list grows so much when I watch your videos - lol! The pattern basket does have adorable quilt designs. I really love the strawberry one they have and I saw they had some cute bunny ones that you may like too. I loved seeing your Spring stitching plans! You have some beautiful projects on the go. The little jeans designs are super cute! My favorite Spring flowers are lilacs. They were my Grandma’s favorite and she always would have some cuttings in a vase when they were in bloom and she loved lilac soaps and lotions too. So when I smell them they always remind me of her. Happy Stitching - Laura

[@texstylust]

Thank you Laura!!!

[@MichiganStitcher-1944]

Spring has arrived here with snow....snow....snow. We have about 10 cm so far and it is to snow until Sunday. Not unusual for us but we always hope for rain instead. Thanks for sharing your projects. My favourite spring flower are wild crocus.

[@texstylust]

I think we’re finally done with snow at this elevation… at least that’s what I keep telling myself! ☺️

[@patwiggers7872]

So ready for Spring here in Michigan but the forecast starting later tonight into tomorrow is 7+ inches of snow. I am so over winter and ready for my flowers to start blooming. I love peonies too. I have 2 Sarah Bernhardt peonies and they're gorgeous. Getting to be so big I have to stake them up when they bloom. Thank you for doing these videos. I so enjoy watching them and listening to those sweet kitty sounds in the background.😻😻

[@texstylust]

I’ll have to go check out to see what the SB peonies look like! Thanks for watching.

[@countrystitchers-lizdeb9395]

Oh my goodness Lori, you showed so many things that spoke to me! I had to pause the video many times and take a screenshot. Thank you so much for keeping me company. I am also excited about spring. ❤Deb

[@texstylust]

There is a peony farm just over the mountain that I’ve always wanted to visit!

[@pamlacey136]

I love the tulip pattern and the farm kit too. I think one of my early spring flower favorites is the small purple Hyacinth. You have been so busy with so many gorgeous projects. I always love seeing everything you are working on or planning to start. I loved seeing the look on your kitties faces when you asked them if they played with your yarn. To cute - I love cats so I really enjoyed seeing them - they both look so innocent! LOL. Happy stitching and quilting…………………

[@texstylust]

One was definitely guilty! 🤣🐈

[@cathylounsbury7707]

Hi Lori! Such a fun video today! I enjoyed seeing all your WIPs and want to’s for Spring. I have many of the same ones picked out to start. I need to learn to knit someday, I especially want to make socks. I need someone close by to help me get started. Sigh. Happy stitching til next time!! Happy Spring!! 🪡🧵🪡✂️🌷🌷🌷🪻🪻🪻🐇🐇🐇💕💕

[@texstylust]

Thank you! You too! Ive watched several videos on sock making. I can msg you some links of ones I think make sense and look easy if you like. I’m going to try a few different methods to find the one that works for me.

[@pennyh8996]

It’s so good to see you again. A month is too long. Lol Happy Spring! Daffodils are my favorite flower for spring.

[@texstylust]

Thank you so much!

[@debwillner5598]

Spring has sprung when I see a tulip bloom! My favorite is the lilac. I love all the birds you stitch. Every one is beautiful. Teresa Kogut has the prettiest tiny robin on her new release. I just had to buy it!

[@texstylust]

I loved all of TK’s releases this market.

[@nancygee6948]

I love the knitting bag you made out of the cat fabric! It is adorable!

[@texstylust]

Thank you! 😊

[@debbiereynolds9276]

Spring is here and the Forsythia bushes are in full bloom. So many favorite spring flowers come to mind. On our farm we added a row of Peonies in our vegetable garden and we would have to stake them up along with the tomatoes etc. Raising two boys we had plenty of jeans and my first quilt was a Jean quilt made from cutting up 6” squares of wore out ones I kept in a plastic bag. 😂 So look forward to your videos, you are such an enabler and I am such a fan of Brenda Gervais, taking good notes. Happy Spring 🪡🧵👵

[@texstylust]

I bet that garden was beautiful!

[@allisonferber5474]

Tulips are one of my favorite spring flowers. I bought big bunch at Trader Joe’s last weekend. Thanks for the video. I saw MANY things I’d love to add to my stash.

[@texstylust]

That is awesome! Love Trader Joe’s!

[@karenhuerter343]

I just happened upon your floss tube video and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your talents. I love all kinds of flowers, especially in the spring I enjoy lilacs, tulips, peonies, and daffodils. Looking forward to your next floss tube video. Spring🌷🌸🌼🪻

Peonies and camellias are my favorite flowers. I absolutely love springtime and all the beautiful blossoms. Thanks for another inspiring floss tube.

[@texstylust]

I love camellias too!

[@grandmastraw]

Great patterns you showed. We had spring here in Minnesota for most of February and the beginning of March (highly unusual), but winter with the cold temps are back and it looks like we will be getting snow for a few days this weekend. Love your videos. I’m going to take a look at that crochet project you showed….so cute! ❤

[@texstylust]

Yes, crazy weather this year all around. I’m grateful it’s warming up here!

[@DeviSisk]

Ready for spring here in WA! My favorite flower of the season is daffodil. It is my birth flower 🌼

Hi Lori! I was so happy when my name came up on this video for the sampler stitching notebook! Thank you so much! I'm impressed with all your projects-I wish I had some of your focus to accomplish so much! Your home & the views are beautiful ~ thanks for sharing :)

[@texstylust]

Lovely - I am making the crochet blanket in the pale blues for great grandson due in April. Variety is my choice also, so thanks so much. hugs

[@texstylust]

Thank YOU! Congratulations on the new GGS to be!!

[@joyceclowser3371]

Your countryside is so beautiful! I always enjoy seeing your outside pictures. All of your pieces are so beautiful. Love your color combinations. I always want to go dig through my charts after watching your videos to see if I had them. I had to go to Leisure Arts website today and order the Judy Whitman book. My favorite spring flower here in southwest Missouri are the hyacinths. They are so fragrant! I wish tulips had more of a scent, they are so joyful. I love to drive by a farm and see the clumps of flowers blooming willy-nilly. Happy stitching!!

[@texstylust]

Thank you so much! My mother’s family is from West Plains. I’ve always wanted to visit the area in the Spring.

[@dalenewilkinson934]

Spring hasn't come to MIchigan yet. It snowed again today. Lilacs are my favorites.

[@ginastroman1169]

I love watch too because I see patterns I don't see other places.. spring. Tulips

[@texstylust]

Thank you!

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

I am so happy to see you once more!! If too much time goes by, one starts to get concerned!!! Wow! So many gorgeous projects… finished, almost finished etc. so fun to see your collection of spring and summer patterns. Spring is my favorite season and daffodils are so sweet and welcoming for spring!! See you sooner than later, I hope. Those cute naughty kitties😊😊

[@texstylust]

Thank you so much! Yes, naughty, but so lovable! ♥️🐈‍⬛♥️

[@sewgrateful15]

Hello friend, oh my stars, it was fun to stitch "with " you this evening. The time flew by. Sometimes, I think we should just leave a dollar amount that we spent while watching a person's video. heehee YOU help make this community a lovely place to land. Happy Stitching, Happy Spring, Your friend, Daleen

[@texstylust]

😂😂 I love the way you think Daleen!!! Wouldn’t that be a comment generator! Happy Spring to you my friend!

[@marilynferlitsch2003]

Very nice finishes. I love anything that Brenda designs, you found some nice older patterns. I can't wait for Spring, we are still having cold temps here in WI. My favorite flowers are the Iris. Some kitty wants attention.......now! Marilyn

[@texstylust]

Oh, I love irises too. They used to grow wild where we lived in southern Oregon as a kid.

[@jenniferbrooks9213]

Did you know a lady named Stacy Berk? Sons Dalton James and Colton. We both lived in Madras for years and she lived around Sisters as well. Love your works and reminiscing when you talk about the weather there. 😍

[@texstylust]

Sorry, I don’t! Madras is quite a ways from here, and I moved to Sisters permanently in 2020 (it was my second home since 2014).

[@Marilyncrafter]

I love your knitting bags and can’t wait for the tutorial!❤

[@texstylust]

Coming soon!

[@lizzythestitcher]

Wow, all the bunnies!! Love them so much! I am going to try to learn to knit a sock. Wish me luck! Also I have done the feather bird quilt, it’s one of my favourites. Happy stitching.

[@texstylust]

You can do it!

[@barbarabell6527]

Lori so enjoy your video. K&C I agree is addicting. My mom taught me to knit when I was in the 4th grade.Back then you had to stay home for 2weeks when you had your tonsils out. My kitties love yarn too so I don't do much anymore. I looking forward to knowing what you think about the q.book you are receiving from the sisterlies!Have a great week .Thank you for sharing.

[@texstylust]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@cherylmarch9293]

What a great video! Enjoyed watching it very much! Your knitting bag is very cute. Love seeing your stitching. I really like your one red thread a day stitch. The large alphabet is very pretty. Spring is just around the corner. I love seeing the daffodils when they come out, this year they were snowed on. My favorite flowers are tulips and I have freesias that come up every spring, and I love the wild Easter lilies that come up too.

[@texstylust]

I love the smell of freesias! I always thought they smelled like the cereal fruit loops. 😂

[@susanott1264]

I love all your bird stitches. I have that bird nest pattern kitted up, but just haven't started it yet. I love tulips the most in the spring.

[@patsyowens7365]

I just loved all your Spring stitches, I adore the paper pieced Tulips, so sweet! I have that bird quilt pattern is so sweet, a someday quilt… the other one you showed I love also. I signed up for one of “Cynthia’s of Bend” cross stitch day. In April. I’ve never stitched with other stitchers besides my daughter-in-law law. Happy stitching!

[@texstylust]

Thank you so much!

[@kathynewhart6738]

Hi Lori :-))) your video was great and you definitely had me taking notes!!! I love spring and my favorite flower would be lilacs they remind me of my grandma she had a beautiful lilac bush and would cut me a bouquet good memories!!

[@texstylust]

What a fantastic memory! My strongest memories are triggered by scent.

[@SarahP26]

I Love your taste- I always want to stitch what you do, and now I need to learn to knit. I’m also looking forward to making the bags you’re all making - I ordered the book and have my fabric choices ready to go. I love tulips - they’re the first sign of Spring in my yard. Do you garden? Do you have a favorite flower? I know have those lovely plants. I look forward to seeing you again soon and thanks for sharing your life - I appreciate it.

[@texstylust]

Yay! I’ll be making more bags too! I do love to dig in the dirt and plant things. I just haven’t figured out the micro climate I’m in yet, so only occasional hanging baskets so far.

[@lauraellis6810]

Spring, tulips,

[@elizabethconley9956]

I found the Prim Sister's Needlebook at an antique shop stitched and fully finished for the cost of the chart. I couldn't believe it. I take it out for Easter every year.

[@texstylust]

Wonderful!

[@karenjohnson8177]

You have been busy doing ALL the things! I loved seeing your stitched "Where Hearts Rest" by BG...the frame is gorgeous on it. I am just kitting it up and excited to stitch it. You don't see that very often.

[@texstylust]

Yay! You’ll love that stitch!

[@elizabethcorsini5499]

Very enjoyable video! Thank you for sharing.

[@texstylust]

Glad you enjoyed it!
