Flosstube #8 - Lots of stitching - my cross stitch supplies and how I keep them organized:)

[@TriersTreasures]

Lori’s videos are always motivation to get to stitching. I love the long videos. I put them on while I stitch or quilting and they are very good company. I can’t believe people are actually messaging her to ask how to take a screen shot. Seriously?! Come on let’s be practical folks

[@theresachucle5362]

Enjoyed visiting with you today and I love 💗 all your wips they are beautiful 🤩 I’m also in love 😻 with your projects bags what a wonderful gift 🎁. Thank you for sharing your craft room with us. Have a wonderful evening and happy stitching 🧵 😊💗🤗🪡

[@pamketron]

Awesome video Lori and Cassidy! I love long videos too. It was so great to see how you keep your floss, charts & fabrics. I knew they would be perfectly organized and they are! Do you put a note in your charts as to when you stitched that one? Would be awesome to pull out a bag and see what you have done and when. Love all your cabinets and especially the file drawers. Just looks like a piece of furniture. You have accomplished a lot this month. I don’t know how you get so much done in a days time. That cow stitch is so adorable. Cutest looking cows ever!!! The amount of floss you have is just glorious. Wow! Now I see why you can stitch any piece you want just from your stash. Amazing and the charts and fabrics. My favorite was probably the junk drawer. Yours is much neater than mine and it has better things in it. Thanks to both of you for taking time to show us all these fun things. I’m gonna order your flower needle minder. I don’t have a needle minder or thread keeper. Saw yours a few videos back and decided that was the one for me. Happy Weekend Y’all. 💕🧵🪡

[@ssusan3]

I love your books I always love to make you quilt squares into projects

[@michellefrothingham4275]

Oh... such a delight... so so enjoyed! Thank you for sharing.

[@Happinessiscrossstitching]

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing how you keep your threads and fabrics etc, really lovely stitching too!

[@louisepetit8999]

Lori. I just loved your video. Thanks for showing us your stitch stuff. Keep them coming

[@lindab8078]

Always enjoy your videos. I bought the vintage farm #1 quilt book a few years ago and haven't used it yet but I liked the idea of using the smaller motifs for project bags. I'm a stitcher and a wanna be quilter so starting smaller will hopefully make it less scary to begin. Just finished stitching your Sew by Row in February and can't wait to get it framed and hung in my craft room. So fun to spend a little time with you while stitching!

[@noeliaroman4]

I am seen this 3yrs later but i enjoyed so much!! Lori you give us a lot of inspiration❤️

[@wooleygirl5240]

Fabulous video, Lori. My oldest daughter is also a Lori. Loved seeing your stitching-all so pretty. I like your thread storage and that ottoman is a must have-all of that storage. Cassidy did a great job filming. Hugs. Pam Miller in Alabama

[@jeanniemonroe6509]

Cute project bags. Enjoyed seeing your projects and how you store your cross stitching supplies.

[@lyndellstone2738]

I loved this video so much!!!! We loved looking in your cupboards 😆. Thankyou x

[@stephanienuce7711]

I need a 400 year plan too! I am literally wanting to do every single cross-stitch you have shown!!! …. And I’ve never done it before… I am REALLY trying to restrain myself from going on a cross-stitch buying binge and start going bananas!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your style of samplers and the quilts you make!!!

[@annstasunas8595]

Love all of your products and creations. You are such an inspiration! Thank you!!!

[@annemousseau8757]

I loved every bit of this video. Thank you. You got me to want to stitch samplers. Your craft room is a dream room. Your styles are fantastic. It made my day.

[@cindyflinchbaugh8292]

You are so organized, wow. Thank you for sharing all your ideas. Your stitching is just beautiful and I have a gleaned more than one idea from your video today.

[@ellenroberts5172]

Lori. I loved every minute of this video. I am going to find your stitch set up video now! Please keep them coming!

[@clarec6659]

A fun visit today with you. I have an antique dresser that the drawer can stick,my hubby rubs candle wax along the inside runners. Thought I’d pass that onto you. Thanks for ideas with blocks from your books to make wonderful project bags. Some fun sewing time ahead. Lovely to see how you store you stitching needs. Blessings and happy stitching.

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

A bar of soap also works on stuck drawers...wood against wood.

[@blendaorga1]

I did enjoyed watching, not only your stitching but also where you keep everything organized. Thank you for sharing, great ideas! I wait till Monday to watch your channel to be able to watch uninterrupted but today my husband had to go to another close by city and I’m with him, so.....many interruptions 🤣🤣🤣

[@dianam.9554]

Thank you for sharing how you store your cross stitch items. I'm just getting started into cross stitching. I've bought your Cut Press Sew cross stitch pattern and can't wait to start stitching. Love your sewing room as well. Your videos will never be to long.!!!!!

[@bumblestitches]

Yay for project bags, pretty cross stitch always needs a pretty bag , thank you Lori for mentioning #projectbagalong, Liz and I are thrilled ! Also I LOVE your first Cross Stitch Nation lady in her Crown 👑, I’m starting the Lady at the other end so I’ll meet you in the middle 🐝🇬🇧

[@giselem.kusmik5110]

I LOVE LONG VIDEOS - it’s like stitching and chatting (yes I talk back☺️), and it’s comfy to have a long visit! THANK YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER VERY MUCH for showing how you keep ALL your stitchy stash - I always pick up new tips/tricks, plus it’s fun to drool over (NOT my stitching!) fellow Stitcher’s linen & floss & charts, and yes, EVEN the junk drawer (ottoman, which is BRILLIANT, by the way! ). I appreciate the hard work you do to make these videos! 😊💖. Until next month!

[@mary-louw2946]

Don't worry about a long video. I am just keeping busy stitching away while I listen to you. Thanks for sharing.

[@grandmastraw]

What a wonderful way to spend an evening.....with Lori Holt showing her beautiful stitching and all her storage for everything cross stitch. I loved every minute. Thank you Lori and thank you Cassidy for doing a fantastic job of filming.....I never once had motion sickness. Blessings and take care.

[@elaineekberg113]

Wow! I love the sister stitcher bag! Thanks for all the great ideas to get started on! I've just recently started stitching again. You and Kimberly got me hooked! I've quilted over 30 years and still learn so much from your channels! God bless you!❤

[@julieharden158]

Thanks Lori for sharing your projects and how you store your beautiful things. I love your draws of floss, all those colours together are such a feast for the eyes. Thanks Cassidy for helping video you always do a fantastic job. Love and blessings xx

[@rebeccamills4673]

Loved, loved, loved 🥰 this video! Your organization is amazing and so lovely to look at! When you were talking about how you order things, then receive them and can’t remember what projects they are for....... Well ..... I started yelling at the TV, Yes.... yes!!! That’s exactly what I do!! A few years ago I started making a copy of my orders, then next to each item I ordered, I would write down what pattern they were for, including all my quilting fabrics! Now I just need to remember which closet I put them in. 😂. All your project bags are adorable. Thank you for sharing the information on now to make them. Looking forward to your next one.

[@SharonCarbine]

Lori, your broad accomplishments are beyond amazing. The breadth and stellar quality of your creative contributions are phenomenal - pattern, fabric & notion design, quilting, cross-stitching, crocheting, writing books, creating instructive videos, marketing, business development, and more! BRAVO! I admire your initiative and successes!!!

[@lepowell423]

Long video, yes, but jam packed!! It was really fun to watch, and just when you think you've seen it all, you show more!! I've got my patterns & books stored similar. Loved seeing all the different project bags. Thanks, spent my Saturday morning with you.

[@kellybeckner8121]

Oh Lori... Your Grandma is so very proud of you. All you do is in the honor of your family... it's the passion and Love for all of them that has driven you to keep their memory alive in everything you do. I think that's why so many people connect with you. That's why I do anyway. I grew up kind of the same way with All my Aunts, Uncles, Great Aunts and Uncles. ..and a million cousins. We are based all around the home place...and little farm. That's what we called it... The farm. Where's your Pap? Down the farm. Said that a thousand times. We all love what you do. We love watching you. I like watching your hands. How you hold threads, how you move. it helps me. Thank you again. Please show more stitching....and crocheting...Love it!!

[@jas2627]

I drooled a little when you showed all your drawers of beautiful flosses. Lol. Thanks for sharing your organization.

[@HappyLittleStitchShop]

Well, look at that!!! We were just talking about this! 😆 Soooo helpful! Hugs to you! 🤗❤️🤗

[@cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

[@stitchingbythemoon]

Yayyyy for long videos!! Especially when packed with so many wonderful goodies!! Thank you for sharing how you organize all your cross stitching items. Your videos are ALWAYS so enjoyable. Thanks to your production team (Cassidy) for her skills and time!!

[@frederikaunterberger6695]

Love love love long videos especially yours. I watch them more than once. Thank you very much

[@sandramcinnis-fibreinsanity]

This episode was jam-packed! I LOVED watching you show us all your projects etc and THEN we got a bonus tour of all your floss and fabrics etc. Thanks for spending so much time to show all of this goodness 😀

[@phyllislundy8803]

Hi Lori! I enjoyed this video so much! Your craft room is wonderful and I love all your great storage ideas! I like long videos so I can stitch along while I watch an listen. It's so nice to hear you describe everything you stitch with such detail, and you have some beautiful stitching! You were good company for me and I always look forward to your videos.

[@Kitchensurprise]

Thanks for sharing your time. I really have learned a lot from you ( I am a beginner at 71). I love to organize as much as I love needle art and quilting as well as watercolor and sketching. Look forward to your next invitation to spend time with you.

[@1tinac]

Milk and Cream is one of my most favorite. I really enjoy the process. Thanks for sharing.

[@shariwitt1977]

Pure pleasure! Thank you for showing every little thing. You are the best.

[@hildejohnson8780]

I love your craft room is beautiful and all the funny almost finishes you have they're beautiful I love the colors in them and your patterns and everything they're gorgeous so stay safe be careful out there and bless you for sharing these wonderful videos with us and thank you 💖💖😇😇😇

[@kathyworden3781]

I absolutely LOVE this long video! It is so inspirational I will definitely use your organizing systems for my things. Everything is so cute and functional. You are so gracious to share. Thank you and Cassidy so much.

[@HeatherNorthcreativeblessings]

Love the idea of taking your blocks and turning them into project bags. I saw Janet's bee bag on her Flosstube and want to make one for myself. I'll have to check out the other people you mentioned. ;) I'm going to go look through my Farmhouse Vintage books and see which block to start with. Thank you so much for sharing your storage and organization. I learned so much and have new ideas to make my own stash storage more efficient.

[@April-CraftyBluebonnetDesigns]

You’re right, longer videos are the best. Just grabbed some tea and then coffee to enjoy ALL the things. Hoping that when we move back to the states I can have a storage setup comprised of all the cuteness you shared. Thank you for the video and tips.

[@Snichols315]

Your stitching is always a joy to see and I appreciate your generosity in sharing your color changes. Who knew it could be so fun to look in someone’s junk drawer?

[@stephaniesmith2575]

Wow your friend Annette put a lot of thought into that darling chicken bag. Lovely. Really liked the background fabric.

[@jlfilbeck]

I love watching your video. You keep me company while I am on my treadmill. I learn as I walk.

[@joogle3328]

1:29 “ I don’t know why I’m going through my junk drawer with you.” 😂 😂😂 I don’t know why I am watching you go through your junk drawer but it was oddly very satisfying. You’re junk drawer is way more interesting than my junk drawer. Thank you for sharing.

[@happyfacefries]

Right??

[@jeanettebosma1323]

-pretty

[@debbuckingham2313]

😂😂 this made me laugh! Because you’re right!

[@Happybidr]

Funny comment. And so right.

[@lisaabbeysneedleworks2967]

Hi Lori. Thanks again for brightening up my mornings. I watched yesterday before work. I have only one suggestion....you should have Cassidy add sound effects when you open your drawers of over dyed threads.....something like angels singing!! 🤣😳😍😊 But seriously, I really enjoy seeing your storage solutions and I really love to hear your designing processes. I got up early today to watch again! Thank you so much for all the inspiration you provide so many of us!! All your hard work blesses so many🥰 happy stitching!! P.s. your junk drawer is AMAZING!

[@LoriHolt]

Hi Lisa...thank you so much for your kind words...and yes...music playing when the drawers are opened is a great idea and actually how it feels in my heart:) LOL...🤣❤️

[@catherinemacdowell2776]

Your stitching is incredible, thank you for all you share. New to crosstitch. Learning alot .

I don’t know how anyone could give you a thumbs down! I just love your videos and all that you’re working on. Keep up the good work! I love your Sunday stitch...so special and a neat way to stay connected with your grandma. I may have to copy you. 😉

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Wonderful inspiration in so many different avenues. Thank you, Lori, for taking the time to share, not only your stitching, but also your organization. I’m so into finding the best way to organize my Sewing Room to make it neat and tidy so I can create in the space I have and also just sit and drink my coffee and enjoy all my collections of stitching things.

[@faeriepabich6414]

Lori. This was sew much fun....seeing your storage gave me so many ideas. Thank you so much for sharing. Even seeing your junk is great! 😂

[@stitchingincostume]

So lovely to see all your wonderful projects and get a grand tour of your cross stitch supplies. You are a master at organizing... your use of playful colors and practical setup is very inspiring! I always look forward to seeing your videos. Be well and happy stitching!

[@cathylloyd9225]

Love that you went through your junk drawer!! I literally lol'd...We ALL have those drawers...I have more than my share of them. You're a stitching machine!! Beautiful projects! I did find that cute frame you got for Winter Rose Manor yesterday!!! Proud of myself..I thought they'd be out of them but they weren't...at The District. Wahoo! I'm working on your Sew by Row and loving it!!! So cheerful! Thank you for the fun video...girl....you have a LOT of floss!! 🌷🌷🌷

[@ginacates6110]

Great video! You are not only an amazing stitcher, quilter & designer but very organized!!! Loved the tour of your craft room & yes your "junk drawer"

[@pamlacey136]

I totally loved this video; they are never too long for me!! I get so inspired and excited when I watch your videos because I totally love aqua and red so all of your colors are gorgeous eye candy to me! What fun to see what you are working on as well as finishing. I thank you so much for sharing of your time and talents to all of us - I truly appreciate it all. Thank you again and happy stitching and designing. P.S. thanks to Cassidy also who does a fantastic job of filming your videos. Just pure fun!!

[@katherinem7835]

I don't know how you get so much done. You are a speed demon.

[@tanyastone4954]

I was thinking same thing and wondering how long it takes for her to stitch something like the Liberty pillow.

[@cathylloyd9225]

Seriously!! 😂

[@loriginsberg7261]

I loved this video so much! I like your idea of keeping wipes close by. I have taught two of my granddaughters how to cross stitch and when we began I said, "Rule #1.....Always wash your hand first!" The wipes right where I stitch would be very convenient.

[@BexfromTexas]

Fun video Lori:) I smiled when I saw your needle book, I made one with your video using same fabric. I use it so much!!!

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

WOW WOW WOW Lori, amazing tour! you are so organized 🥳💕(please don't apologize for long videos, I LOVE them!!!

[@susanradford9503]

Great seeing all your projects but even better was getting the tour of your craft room, storage etc. That was so interesting. The junk drawer was like Aladdin's cave!!

[@marilynlepage9079]

LOL! I love your 400 year plan! Your nails are always beautiful. I know you've said Cassidy (K?) does the macrame on some of your bags; and of course she does the camera. What other crafts does she do? I love it because I adore crafts, and so does my own daughter. She's branched into some very different ones than I have. Love it ALL!

[@LynnEllis2448]

Thank you for showing how you store and organize your supplies. Your 2 thread cabinets are beautiful.

[@kerrybelt3757]

I loved going through your junk drawer with you. It gave me a boost of confidence to know that we organize our floss very similarly. You inspire me! I love long flosstubes too. I just sit and stitch and watch. #waitingpatientlynotpatientlyforthenextflosstube.

[@georgethompson490]

A great video, love the junk draw! Such beautiful stitch work shown, thank you and your daughter for taking the time to make this floss tube. Like T UK

Organisation is key and you have an extra special touch. Your little cushions are exquisite and everything in your sewing room has a quaint feel and is beautifully presented

[@ginadametzthesunflowerstit9252]

I absolutely love your tours of your sewing room!! It gives me so much inspiration to really get my office and sewing room fixed up! We are getting ready to move back to the midwest, and I already have my curtain material for my sewing room picked out from some of your fabrics! I can't wait to "Lori Holt" my sewing room!!

[@cindymccord8100]

Loved this video! So many great stitches and ideas. 💕💕💕 I've never considered a storage ottoman... oh yes, that is on the list! I, too, sort by color. I've never sewn a quilt or project bag, but I'm very inspired to try after watching your videos. Thank you again for opening your home. Many blessings.

[@sandiolson2064]

Wow,!! Love your craft room. So amazing.

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Lori, when you say you stitch 1 over 2, please show how this is done v.s. 1 over 1 & 2 over 2. Thank you! Love, love your flosstube & quilting on KZbin.

[@quiltcavequilter6952]

Ive also wondered what that meant as well ....

[@ytsmom]

The first number stands for the number of threads used. 1 over 1 and 1 over 2 both mean she uses 1 strand of thread. The second number means how many threads in the fabric you go over. 1 over 1 means you stitch over 1 thread on the fabric. 1 over 2, or 2 over 2 means you stitch over 2 threads of linen, lugana, etc.

[@melissanoble1621]

@@ytsmom. I'm a visual person. I think I understand this, however, would like visual. Is there a video Lori has for this? Thank you😃

[@lynettedalton-stitchinmyst7358]

totally enjoyed, and you are quite the enabler

[@Roperdsweetpea]

I have the same cabinet from HL (I have 2 put together) - I used your crazy quilt papers to make a runner for them (followed Lori’s tutorial). I absolutely love everything that you do. I have always been drawn to the scrappy look. I follow humble stitcher & Elizabeth Ann as well and have made a few project bags from Elizabeth’s tutorial. I saw where they are making a block from one of your books and am thinking I will do the same. I am newly retired and have always been an cross stitcher but am not getting in to quilting. So much fun - thank you for so many great projects. Oh - no have started strips from my cut into fat quarters and organizing them in boxes. Thanks again for great fun scrappy projects.
