Flosstube Episode #18 - Sampler September 2 new SAL's and a GIVEAWAY!!

[@barbarawallin6162]

Your finishes are beautiful! You accomplish so much stitching. Do you get to sleep? Thanks for all you share! My favorite finish is the blue stitch for your Great Grandpa’s. I think your flowers are darling!

[@renabritnell5497]

I love the idea of the heritage wall, and all of the samplers are beautiful. My personal favorite is the one for your grandfathers, A Little Quakereske. It has the look of a woven tapestry, or morrocan tiles. The crocheted flower motifs would make a beautiful "Lori Holt" vest!

[@margaretwineland2165]

Love how you put a covered button in the middle of your crocheted flowers.

[@colleenschlapp9095]

Love the flowers AND the new colors of chunky thread! My favorite finishes in this video were your heritage samplers; such a great idea I hope to try someday. Be(e) well! :)

[@loriginsberg7261]

I would love to take this opportunity to tell you how much I love everything you do. No one in the flosstube world or quilting world has influenced me and inspired me as much as you. Your generosity is without equal. I am always excited when I see you have uploaded a new video. And then, of course, is your love of all things vintage. So, thank you, thank you, thank you for all you have given to the Cross Stitch and Quilting Communities. You are a treasure and it would be an honor and a thrill to have those lovely crocheted flowers that were made by you.

[@chrissieb3350]

Today is 4/16/24.....has it really been 7 months since you did your last flosstube? I hope we will see you soon. Miss seeing your beautiful stitching ❤

[@stitchingafterbedtime]

You are always so inspiring. I would love your flowers. They are so beautiful. I’m still trying to figure out how to crochet. I need to rewatch beginner tutorials. I just finished a Laura Heine Flower Garden quilt using your Prim fabric line. The colors are so lovely. Thank you for bringing so much joy to us with your creations. My favorite in this video was your family samplers. I think that is something I would like to do.

[@susanweston1010]

I loved everything about this flosstube, but I especially loved yr notebook & how you will ask your parents info about their wedding day. That is so special. You are very lucky to still have them in your life-precious, precious time with them.💕

[@josieconner1965]

I loved seeing all of your samplers and finishes but to choose one I’d have to say Floral Motif Sampler might be my favorite, but they were all beautiful! Thank you for always inspiring us!

[@brookereedy4155]

Lori - you are incomparable! Always a treat to see a new video from you. Hard to pick a favorite, but I dearly love your sabbath stitches, especially Consider the Lilies. I love that Sundays are "set apart" in a special and meaningful way. Your heritage samplers are also very inspiring. Honoring heritage is a too infrequent habit, and one that you have beautifully inspired.

[@solstitches]

Your heritage stitching is just breathtaking. I am inspired by everything you do. Pretty flowers! I love the embellishments you add to your bags. Off now to look for the tutorials. Thank you for the lovely video. Margaret

[@faeriepabich6414]

There is nothing so inspiring as seeing your stitching, Miss Lori…you touch my heart always! Thank you for so generously sharing your ideas and tips…your heart is golden. I love everything Lori Holt!❤

[@Snichols315]

Your videos are always a delight and such an inspiration. I love how you are incorporating multiple generations of family into your stitching. I can’t wait to see your progress on the one for your parents. I appreciate the need for privacy but would love to hear some snippets of stories that you get from your parents about their wedding etc. I love your little flowers and buttons and how generous of you to share!

[@lindaallinder1751]

So very happy to see you back! You and your stitching are so inspiring! The crochet flowers are beautiful and add a wonderful touch to any project! Or just in a vintage jar! Hurry back!💕

[@gailamason9802]

Love your crocheted flowers and the way all the various colors seem to go together. I also love the samplers you are stitching to honor your great grand parents. That’s so so very special.

[@jackandbonniebreuer554]

It has been awhile since your channel came up.in my feed Lori. Just have to say how much you inspire me! You are such a creative soul! My favorite finishes are the ones you are doing to honor Grandparents. What a wonderful idea to honor those who have gone before you! A quality that I would so much like to see more of in our lives! We have to remember their sacrifice and hard work that makes the life we live now possible! Many blessings to you and yours!

[@kimberlywatson7788]

Oh Lori …( and Sis behind the scenes). Thank you both for filling my head with so much inspiration and goodness. I literally laughed out loud when you asked for us to share a favorite finish 😅…. yes … all of them ! How could I choose just one. Between your sabbath stitching , samplers and the stories that go along with them I have to say my favorites are the ones associated with family. As far as your flowers … also YES PLEASE. I absolutely love your newest color additions ❤

[@terryoler6072]

I love the solid granny squares & taking them to the next level with the crochet flower & covered button in the center. You’ve inspired me to make a pillow like you described.

[@christinecurrie7553]

Your stitching bags are a feast for the eyes with the fabric, the charm, the zipper pull, and also a flower with a covered button! Love your talent for pulling everything together. Thank you for sharing. I don’t have many original ideas but am good at copying.

[@deniseresnik1207]

She went home to Jesus several years ago, seeing those flowers just brought back so many great memories!!!❤

[@jeanniemonroe6509]

I love how you honor your ancestors with a sampler and have a dedicated space for them. I enjoy all you do in stitching, quilting, and crocheting. I have used your chunky thread on many crochet projects. I must get your new colors to add to my stash of chunky thread. I would enjoy your flowers in every color to have as a color guide. Thanks for sharing all that you do.

I always am so excited to see you have posted a new video. Your finishes always inspire me, I would be so extremely happy to have a collection of your amazing crochet flowers. You have also inspired me to talk to my Daddy, who is 91, about when my parent were married so I can a record from his memory since I lost my mothers several years ago. They were married 66 years. Thanks so much! Janine

[@SweetPeaStitcher13]

I love your crocheted granny squares and flowers because I learned to crochet granny squares from my beloved Nana. One afternoon my sister and I went to her apartment and she taught both of us how to do it. When your put the chamomile colored flowers on top of the vivid granny squares I just gasped! Thank you for all you have brought to my life through your creativity. Laurie

[@Stacey_G_513]

These are amazing! Your choice of frames makes me think of years gone by. I would love to learn to crochet now. I remember my mother crocheting small projects like hats that tied under the chin. They were the rage in my early schools years. Oh those little flower crochet are fantastic along with the Granny Squares! I like the multiple color crochet flowers. I have wanted to use them on my sewing machines. Two Feather Weights and one Bernina. Anyone that loves sewing would be thrilled to have your crochet flowers and share them with their friends. Thanks for sharing😮your work and knowledge.

My favorite finish of yours was Teresa Kogut's Land that I Love because it is in my bucket list to finish. I love all your family samplers as well. I have been following your quilting for years. You inspired me to try making covered buttons, crochet flowers and quilts. I even made some of your daughters zipper pulls. My day is always better after watching your flosstubes and quilting videos. I would enjoy having more of your crochet flowers in my stash. Have a wonderful day and keep on inspiring the world around you.

Your floss tube made he start thinking how I could find pieces to honor my relatives as well. Loved the crochet flowers! My grandmother taught me as a little girl how to crochet. I always think of her when I do any crochet projects.

[@gailelizabeth14]

I so enjoy all your stitching inspiration. I love your heritage wall samplers and look forward to seeing the recently completed ones framed. My 100-1/2 year old mother just passed away so I think I’ll honor her by doing one of those samplers. Love the crocheted flowers and seeing how you use them on your bags, machines and now a pillow! Thanks again for sharing your creativity and time with all of us!!

[@BrendaFuemmeler]

Love seeing all of your crafty things- from quilting to cross stitch. I only had one grandmother who quilted and crocheted, but boy did she influence my love of needle & thread. Love those flowers you crocheted!!

[@JustOnlyKristi]

I could never pick just one of your beautiful projects as a favorite! Flower power!

[@roxyvoorhees1838]

Oh my ❤ I love, love, love your heritage wall samplers. What a brilliant idea. I watch on tv, so I seldom grab my iPad to comment or enter things. Your crocheted flowers are amazing. I got tears in my eyes, because my grandma made those little flower and had a basket of them just like your basket. I was transported to my youth. She used to have a couple pillows with them. I don’t know where they went. When she passed, I asked for all her ecru thread she used to crochet doilies and table runners. She had a dresser drawer full of ecru balls. My aging aunt crocheted. I hired her to crochet all the thread into doilies and table runners, so my two daughters and daughter-in-law could have a treasure made from Grandma Annie’s thread. My aunt was thrilled to earn some extra $$ and I had a beautiful gift to give my girls. Your flowers reminded me of a beautiful memory. Thank you

[@shelleyfreeman3564]

So happy for another of your flosstubes, Lori! I can’t decide which finish is my favorite. They’re all so stunning. I love your new crochet idea- granny’s with flowers in the centers! I would love your crocheted flowers!

[@trishwells34]

I was very happy to find a new FlossTube episode from you! You are always so inspiring ❤️ My favorites that you shared are your Sabbath day stitches.
