Glad Graham is home! Grandbabies are so precious! You are such a joy to watch, I feel like I know you! You are humble as well!

Grandbabies are the best gift! I will get to see almost all of mine this weekend when they come to town for my mother in law’s funeral and I can’t wait to squeeze each one!

Yes yes yes Holly, the hands with the French General for making your pillow. That would be stunning. Hugs and prayers for your family.

You’re right, that’s the one it needs to be! I’m itching to get started on that pillow! Thank you for watching!!

So nice to see another Flosstube from you! Sorry to hear Graham had another hospital stay…. But God 🙏 he’s doing better! You’ve had some fun starts! And lots of fun purchases!

You and your family are in my prayers. Something everyone should practice is to be humble and kind. Thanks for sharing all the stitchy information

Thank you so much!

Enjoy watching while I stitch. I’m not a cancer mom but a cancer Grammy. Our next to the youngest of 10 grandchildren was diagnosed in 2020 with leukemia. He was not quite 2. He has been cancer free for 2 years! Praise God! I couldn’t think of a way to use humble so here it is. lol

[@hobbiesofholly]

Oh cancer Grammy has its own set of stresses and heartaches! I’m so glad he’s cancer free!! Did he also have ALL? Where was he treated? So many questions 😉.

[@lindaspost2533]

So glad Graham is home again and doing well. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful stitching and treasures. Humble 🧵🪡✂️🧵

[@hobbiesofholly]

Thank you so much!

[@kbhstitches]

So many beautiful treasures today. I’m not a cancer mom, but have spent the last year and a half traveling back and forth with my son who went blind in his left eye overnight. So he was getting monthly surgeries, more spaced out now, in a different state and we still don’t have any estimate of end time so I completely understand how the plans had to be put to the side and it taught me a whole lot about myself and life, and mostly him ❤. I’m just so glad to hear your daughter is better. Thank you for the video.

[@hobbiesofholly]

Oh goodness, you have learned similar lessons. We’d do anything for our kids, right? If yours is like mine, I learn from her every day still!!

[@jonij794]

Hoping Graham is doing well. So true about learning to be adaptable. I’m still learning but the past five years have provided ample opportunity. 😊 I love the humble sampler. Thanks for another flosstube and I look forward to your next one whenever you are ready to make one. Please take care of yourself. Also wishing you lots of fun in stitching your blackbird acquisitions. Stress shopping is real!

[@hobbiesofholly]

Seems like it’s a lifelong learning process! Thank you for your kind words! I’ll keep up the stress shopping even though I try not to 🫣

[@lanelles242]

Hi Holly, was sad to hear Graham was hospitalized again but my heart was so very happy for all of you that he is home again , will continue to keep everyone in my prayers…fantastic stitches. Love your stash enhancement…when my Mom passed away I went through a period of time where I was adding to my stash didn’t realize that’s what I had been doing till I was feeling better. Those French General fabrics are stunning so pretty at first i thought the hands but i love the MF piece the colors look great how fortunate you can make two 😍. Enjoy all your goodies Holly as you say live each day, thanks for being kind 🤗♥️

[@hobbiesofholly]

Grief and trauma can be so influential in our daily lives and we don’t even realize it sometimes! I’m so sorry you lost your mom. French General is probably my favorite fabric line right now!! Thank you for your kind words!

Prayers for Graham, you and their family. Enjoy your videos great ones. I like the piece on your fireplace. Great been under weather, getting over shingles which haven’t been very pleasant. Positive thoughts always.

It is without a doubt the best money I ever spent It holds all of my bits and bobs , big and small in one place and is super easy to grab and throw over my should and head out for stitchy days and retreats. Take the time to make it. You’ll never regret the time!

Thank you so much for the tips at the end about the amazing sales -- I bought several items from both shops and quite a few were things that were on my wish list! I will be sewing some beautiful project bags in the near future! Amazing deals just doesn't describe it! I purchased some CS graphs for my mother's 2024 stitchy advent box -- we are curating a box for each other. I will be humble and thank you again! Happy stitching! xoxo

Oh thank you, we are so glad he’s home and happy! I agree, I think the hands should be on the pillow. I’m excited to make it!

[@carolfawcett1297]

I enjoyed visiting with you as I stitched this afternoon Holly! I am so sorry that Graham had to be admitted to the hospital again, but am happy to know that he is home and feeling better now. I like the Hartstring Samplery hands piece for your lap pillow. I can’t wait to see how it turns out, which ever piece you pick! I received my But God chart this past week, and now that I see yours on 40 count I will likely do it on 36 or 40 too! I am with you and don’t enjoy stitching with 2 threads! I like that you were able to make something out of the piece that you weren’t enjoying. It will make a darling pillow! Have a good week, or until you film again!

[@hobbiesofholly]

Hi Carol! Graham is so happy to be home and he’s getting stronger every day! I think I’ll use the Heartstring piece for my pillow! I hope your But God stitch is enjoyable!

[@sutherngal71]

Holly, your story about your daughter was the same for our family too, I am not a cancer mom, but a cancer sister 😊. My sister was diagnosis with ALL in Nov, 2005, she was 30 years old when she was diagnosed with this same childhood cancer. I was blessed to be her stem cell donor; she has been cancer free for 18 years. She dealt with treatments, blood transfusions etc. for about 2 ½ years too. Thanks for sharing your story, (humble). Good is good!!!

I was sorry to hear Graham ended up in the hospital again. My middle son used to get horrendous ear infections. Thankfully he grew out of them. I’m so glad Graham is home again with his family. I always enjoy seeing everything you have to share. I like the hands stitchy piece for your project. I have had to learn to be more flexible as I have gotten older and have grandkiddos to factor into my life. Life doesn’t always go my way and I have had to learn to go with the flow and be more laid back about life. It wasn’t an easy thing to do. One last comment. I love the Holly Hobby sewing machines. I have always liked Holly Hobby. I hope you get to stay home for a bit and get to start on your sewing projects.

So sad little Graham had to go to the hospital. Glad he’s back home and doing well. What a little trooper. Enjoyed you again so much. Take care until next time.🌸

Thank you! He’s the sweetest little guy and he’s so happy to be home!

Congratulations on learning to fly by the seat of your pants! So much of it involves faith and trust, as you have found. Like the stitch pillow. Voting for hands. Anna of Quilt Roadies and of Stitch Roadies has a pillow she shows how she made many years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2bLg2CbfrtsadU
