Flosstube #14 - Let's Catch Up!

[@cynthiathompson9802]

Thank you for the informative and inspirational video. You have mega talent and productivity. I am most inspired by the way you honor the women of your family. Your conversions are sought by many of us because your color combinations are so, so good! I would especially love to know the Brick House conversion. Thank you for the stitching videos… they are fabulous!

[@deborahcrottylikerottie7684]

Hi Lori. I just love all your stitching - it is just exquisite - absolutely beautiful. Thank you for keeping this great craft alive and well.

[@jenniferfong1809]

Just watching, but love your beautiful work and the idea of stitching a red sampler for each of the women in your family!

[@MameysMedley]

Lori, I am watching all of your Flosstube videos after having watched your most recent last week. I LOVE how organized you are and your WIPS are gorgeous. Please do more Flosstube!!❤

[@lynnfox2359]

You are an incredible inspiration! I love your scheduling which gives a crafter good variety in activity. All of your designs are precious and great looking. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@melissademas3000]

This video was exactly what I needed to help me with my WIPS. You have no idea how much you inspired me! Thank you!

[@lauramilloway8674]

We have the same anniversary! I really appreciate all the videos. You are right that it is all about enjoying what you do and not a race! Thanks!

[@conniehall3873]

Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new 😀 Lori and Cassie your videos are so enjoyable. Thank you!

[@patbarone4855]

Every time I watch one of your videos Lori, I come away with the very same thought…You. Are. The. Queen!

[@wandamccoll3739]

I do love your videos Lori! Your cross stitched pieces, finishes and WIPs, are gorgeous!!! You are so right about enjoying this fabulous hobby of ours and not feeling pressure. I try to stitch everyday, even if it's just a thread. Thanks so much!

[@katem1105]

Thank you for saying it’s all about “enjoying the process “ not speeding through.

[@seoulgirlbruck8458]

your organization inspires me! as well as all the beautiful patterns and beautiful stitching!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Fun chat! After a day of playing in my sewing room with my crumbs, I get to watch your video! Thank you for your inspiration, your art and positive energy!

[@faeriepabich6414]

Lori, thank you SO much for going over your rotation. I am going to sit down and plan my stitching just the same way. You keep me so inspired! You are awesome, and your stitching is gorgeous!🥰

[@donnabennett5106]

Great catch up Lori,wow lots of finishes for you👍fabulous stitching projects, Thankyou for sharing 👍🇳🇿🪡

[@christinecrane4864]

Oh Lori, your "Saviors Praise"

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Another great podcast Lori and Kassidy, thanks for your time and efforts…loved everything you showed and talked about…wish you two the best and happy stitching ❤️❤️

[@myraludik4232]

Thank you Lori - beautiful!

[@sandracopeland5649]

❤️ all your stitching and thank you for sharing how you get your stitching done by doing them on different days of the month.🥰

[@katrinawilliams8572]

Oh Lori, your red samplers are just beautiful! I love the idea of adding your Grandmothers names to them. Thank you for sharing all that you’ve stitched. I really enjoy and look forward to all your videos. Happy stitching! ❤️

[@kerrybelt3757]

Congratulations on finishing A Saviour's Praise!!! It's beautiful! Your stitching is so beautiful!

[@kathysmith9129]

I have never watched anyone’s floss tube more than once until now. I watched it last night and again this evening. Your stitching is so amazing and beautiful! I took notes and have already ordered some of the things you showed. I also have multiple things that you are stitching or have stitched. I have been inspired by all that you do.

[@kogrady31]

Lori, you are such an inspiration! I love that you kept re-enforcing that fact that stitching is not a race but to do what you can and enjoy each stitch! I don't get to stitch as often as I want to and sometimes feel like my projects are going nowhere. So in saying that you have set my mind back on track and I am feeling good and excited to get back to my slow stitching. All your finishes are so beautiful! Thank you for your time and creativity!❤

[@Happinessiscrossstitching]

Loved seeing all your lovely cross stitching!

[@Editbostitch]

Blown away by your creativity!!!never thought of stitching a non monochrome sampler as a res sampler….you just opened a completely new range of opportunities!!!! Thank you

[@chrissieb3350]

Lori, I just love your floss tubes! Your stitching is just beautiful.......❤️ please show your pieces once you have them framed. Be great to see your stitchy walls too......

[@maureenabramson4224]

Thank you so much for sharing your schedule, what you are stitching and what you've finished. They are all so beautiful. I just bought three of the Summer School House lessons and looking for #2 still. I saw it completed on Sheri's last flosstube, Colorado Cross Stitcher, and she did them on one fabric and framed it. Thanks again. Truly enjoy all that you do. Thanks Lori. Have a blessed week.

[@ginacates6110]

I love seeing your Red Samplers & how each one represents a Grandma or Great Grandma. Your stitching is beautiful & I love your loose schedule, stitching what we want when we want is what's important. You are always encouraging!

[@BrandiTalmadge]

Hey there Lori! Love your Flosstubes (well, I love all of your videos) - I savor them and gain so much inspiration from all that you share. Great advice on remaining consistent - it’s true with all aspects of our lives - love it. Great job on your finishes - so lovely. 🥰

[@vikkivanveldhuizen2290]

Thanks for sharing your stitching “life”with us. I appreciate all that you show us and you are a great inspiration.

[@karolsaager8694]

I so love watching you share your work. I really like your idea of tying projects to significant date. It's a great motivator!!!

[@gailamason9802]

Thank you for showing your beautiful work. I love the colors you use in your stitching. They are so vibrant. I also love the color red and am wanting to do a red wall.

[@joycemccoig1160]

I've heard of several other ways to rotate stitching projects, but never have I thought to associate a project with a specific day of the month or week. What a great idea! I also don't worry about how long it takes to complete a project. Stitching at my own pace lets me enjoy the journey. Thank you, Lori.

[@nancyevans7609]

I love your stitching projects and agree that you should stitch what makes you happy. Your red samplers are turning out so lovely and such a nice tribute to family members who came before you. I have started my first red sampler stitch on Ruth Gibbs on a higher thread count with a variegated red thread and am enjoying it very much. I may dedicate it with my grandmother's initials, the one who taught me to embroider and crochet in my elementary years. Some of her dresser scarfs with lovely embroidery are treasures of mine. I have one of the two pillowcases she embroidered for my wedding present in 1967 of a lovely southern belle with big flowing skirt. Thank you Lori for all the sharing you do on your videos. Your fabric lines are the best of Riley Blake designs.

[@caseypeters2974]

I love all your stitching. I am also stitching Love Never Fails as an anniversary stitch. My husband and I had that scripture reading at our wedding and he had the scripture name and verse number inscribed inside my wedding ring. It is our favorite reading. I think I might try planning certain stitches for certain days as well like your schedule. Thank you for all the inspiration and beautiful stitches.

[@nevadastitcher]

It’s always a pleasure seeing your beautiful stitching! I love Vikki Clayton silks too. They are beautiful and easy to use especially with them kitted and ready to go.

[@Mjohn27883]

Really like your monthly "scheduling" for your stitching. Also like that there isn't a rush or deadline to complete, you enjoy the process. I am going to do some research into your generational samplers great idea.

[@kristi.schwisow]

Bee-U-Tiful work! All of it! Love your artistry as well as your methodology. Your flosstube is my favorite!

[@courtnieburrell3266]

All of your pieces were such eye candy. Loved them all! Thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching with me.

[@susanwestfall5519]

Thank you for the much needed reminder of consistency over hours at a time spent stitching.

[@sandracdesigns6046]

You have the best flosstube! I love seeing everything you do, and it is all so inspiring. 💖

[@BexfromTexas]

So excited I caught your floss tube!! Who knew there were so many reds?! I love what you said about going at your own speed & time, that there's no stitching police, lol. I've actually quit watching a lot of people because I felt so behind 🙃 Now I just don't worry about it because I want to enjoy it like you said.❤ thanks for sharing!

[@LoriHolt]

I'm happy to hear you say that! Yes...for sure it's more important to enjoy your stitching and not worry that you should be doing it faster or better than someone else. It's YOUR stitching so YOU enjoy it!! 🥰

[@terryblair966]

That one is absolutely beautiful! Your next one with the Lillie's ie beautiful. I also love your red sampler stitching. I could go and on.

[@stitchingafterbedtime]

I love you videos and you are always very inspiring with what you are working on. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@shirleyflavell5705]

You have encouraged me, it's a real delight to watch your flosstube Lori. Totally inspirational. Thankyou.

[@andj1304]

Thanks for sharing! I always look forward to your videos!!🙌🏻

[@nadiasews]

The primitive style samplers are so beautiful, I’d like to try something small in that style, thanks for the encouragement!

[@amylynn1345]

Thank you for sharing what you have been up to! I like the way you set your schedule…..you have inspired me to set my own!❤️

[@margm4]

Thanks for sharing your journey, Lori. So interesting to see the spools of Anchor. It’s a really old brand. I started doing little embroideries 60 odd years ago, when I was young, and Anchor was the only thread available, for what we called “fancy work”. Love everything you do and share. I intend to do a Hands across the Sea sampler one day. Thanks for your inspiration. 😊🇦🇺

[@jenniferbonynge5899]

I love your do it at your own pace and love the doing attitude about stitching. It really speaks to me... How fun to see all of your ongoing projects, they are lovely. It is heart warming to see that you are honoring your female ancestors within your works, what a tender offering to those who went before us. XO

[@marthagabehart8023]

So good to see your beautiful finishes! I like your idea about scheduling certain pieces each month. The 25th day SAL seems to be working well. I'm glad you're well and busy.

[@betsykleger4808]

Hi Lori. I’m a “stitch what I want when I want” kind of gal but I love how you incorporate the schedule concept, albeit loosely, in order to get progress on your projects. You stitching is just beautiful!

[@LoriHolt]

Hi Betsy! Thanks so much:) ❤❤❤

[@conniemarie2005]

Thank you Lori for sharing your beautiful cross stitch pieces! You amaze me! 🪡🧵✂️

[@kathyharris7158]

Always a pleasure to see your beautiful stitching. You inspire me to keep stitching, especially the larger pieces. Someday I will have a finish.

[@traciepond9105]

I’m a cardmaker, stitcher, gardener and wanna be quilter (oh and trying to learn more in the kitchen). If I had to pick one person who inspires me the most it would be you!!!!

[@debbielarabee4560]

I feel the same! Her videos always seem too short for me ☺️

[@maryavaux7704]

I love all of your stitching and plans. I really like all the bags you use-I’m a bag lady along with other things.

[@elizabethheer2757]

Thank you, thank you! You are a constant inspiration and helping me become more creative! Loving your videos!

[@jacquelinewoodard4707]

Lori after I saw you were doing Quaker Samplings I was so inspired to do them too! I’m going to make them in red over dyed cottons with the top design for my daughter and the bottom design for myself.

[@amandaaskew7606]

I don't cross stitch, but I love listening to your flosstubes! Seeing your WIPs, and SALs, hearing your random words of wisdom, and seeing all the different things you do is so inspiring! I am finally getting my creator's mojo back! Thank you! Zippers have always terrified me, but after seeing all of your super cute project bags, I think I need to try one!

[@HappyLittleStitchShop]

I love so many of your stitching choices! Schoolhouse Lessons is such a pretty series! I made a note for a future stitch along! Plus those linens! So pretty! Your Saviour’s Praise is gorgeous - I am thoroughly enjoying that stitch! And, most importantly, I LOVE that you are not stitching for speed, but for enjoyment. That’s what it’s all about and such an important reminder. Thank you for that! 🥰🤗😘

[@jessiehaislet3625]

I used to cross stitch quite a bit years ago. My eyes probably couldn’t take much of it now. Your work is lovely.

[@brendak1145]

It's all so beautiful.

[@janiceharrell2109]

I always enjoy your videos. Your stitching is absolutely gorgeous! Perfect floss colors and fabric choices! I want to stitch everything you show.

[@pamlacey136]

I truly enjoyed your video. I love your stitching flow that you have worked out to focus on key dates in order to make good, consistent progress. Thank you for noting your emphasis on the joy and fun of stitching. I also love that you have a Sabbath stitch; thank you for sharing that. Happy stitching and quilting………………..

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Gorgeous stitching and gorgeous finishes!!! I like your philosophy about enjoying what you’re doing. Don’t make it a chore. We have enough of those already. I always enjoy watching your videos, quilting and stitching. You’re the best!!!

[@rwa3457986]

Yay another flosstube to inspire me! I love seeing what you stitch! I’m finishing up Happy farm girl. I generally stitch one thing at a time but I love your schedule idea !

[@HandmadeCreations]

I have a big round set of those boxes. They are absolutely beautiful!

[@kathleenfangmeyer7574]

I love your advice on consistency!!! Thank you so much for all you share with us!!!

[@terriwhisler8660]

Hi Lori, I just love your red samplers. When you put your grandmother’s, mother’s, your name, do you use their maiden names or married names, I love that idea so much, I may have to copy your idea. I think your sampler’s are a wonderful tribute to the women in your family. Thanks for sharing your time with us. 🌷

[@theresachucle5362]

Thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩

[@joanhuntress7384]

You inspire me to get back into cross stitch! I loved it and am looking forward to doing more. 😁 ThNk you!!!!

[@AllisonNorris13]

Love your Autumn at Hawrun Hallow! Beautiful fabric choice!

[@sheilalovesgreg3489]

Wow wow wow!!! Thank you Lori, as always your stitching is amazing! 💞

[@brendasiwecki9032]

Glorious inspiring video Lori❤️. I love what you said about going at your own pace and enjoying the process 🧵🧵🧵❤️

[@LoriHolt]

Thank you so much Brenda!!! ❤❤❤🥰

[@karenkirk8261]

Cottage Garden Threads have another great red called Viktor. It’s my favourite red of theirs ☺️

[@enolagtullis4247]

Thanks for sharing. Your work is beautiful.

[@juliesaalfeld8349]

You are very inspiring… love all your choices with floss and fabric! Thank you!

[@kathyburch9591]

Love the way you have different days to stitch on certain projects! I have going to have to try silks and or the Anchor floss. Your stitching is beautiful and I agree we all need to go our own pace. I like to small projects going at the same time as bigger projects but I am thinking I need to set up a schedule like you have. Thank for showing us what you do.

[@terryblair966]

Love your patterns. I don't see how you have the time to complete them with everything else that you do. I hope to keep up with you but with your floss shows. I try to keep up up with your quilt shoes too. Maybe one day! You are to good!

[@glynisjordan4816]

Thank you for making videos. You have the most beautifully presented pieces all pressed neatly well done!

[@janicejoyce4417]

Thank you for sharing your stitching. I really love to see your progress on these incredibly beautiful designs. I have so many on my list to do - so hard to choose!!

[@raeannoneill8392]

Thanks Lori!!! I enjoyed your visit!

[@donnawhite644]

Hi Lori, this floss tube came at the right time for me, I was just feeling bad about not getting things finished. I do stitch almost everyday but needed some sort of schedule to get things done it seems that I always get taken away with other things in life so I am definitely going to attempt the schedule you talked about. I really love the calmness of your KZbins and I have learned so much. Thank you for taking the time it is great relaxation and fun for me to watch. Please share with your daughter how much I love her macrame and the way she videos.

[@debranorris4331]

Everything is sooo beautiful Lori!! I always love watching all of your tutorials, always inspiring!!! I'm not a fast stitcher but I did finish my Kaleidoscope pattern and now am working on my Flea Market Flowers and loving it!! Thank you for all your inspiration!!

[@mariawells8026]

Beautiful projects! Enjoyed this episode.

[@jeannettegodwin4268]

Thank you Lori for this episode, your tips for stitching were good. This year i am going to try stitching on linen, your encouragement is well accepted!! Hugs

[@jeannettegipson5239]

Thank You ,For another great video. Love all you do. ❤️🧵🪡

[@theresegee6895]

All your pieces are gorgeous. Thanks for the inspiration, and how you plan your stitching. It gets overwhelming sometimes, with wanting to get a lot done. I am going to try this method. Thanks Lori.

[@marygoode1058]

Oh, Lori! I absolutely loved everything you shared in your video! Thank you very much for your energy and enthusiasm for all your cross stitch projects...such beautiful work! I am inspired by all you do. Already looking forward to your next video! Happy almost Spring from SE Michigan 🌸!

[@mariadeluz956]

Hi Lori! Thank you for another wonderful flosstube!!! I thoroughly enjoy watching your creative process as it unfolds from episode to episode! Will you be posting your Brick House Sampler color conversion on your blog? Such a beautiful stitch! 💕

[@melissaj8384]

thank you for sharing your beautiful stitching. I have either done, am doing or have kitted up several of your stitches. We have the same taste. Your color choices are spectacular! I wish I had that ability but I do not and I own it. LoL. Have a great stitchy Spring and hope to see your progress soon. Happy Stitching.

[@laurabusby9891]

Loved the video! Would love to know if you made your smaller zipper bags that you keep your floss in for your projects. They really caught my eye each time you pulled one out!

[@patriciakalisak4300]

Everything is so beautiful!

[@delilahcarbajal6734]

I really love detail you put into your work, the family included was top notch cool!! Added details of quilt blocks on the bottom was beautiful touch. It’s what brought you all together. ❤️🥰 I like the tips on doing little each day to move through projects. I begin to get bored, if projects to long and repetitive lol, so this is what would work for me to. Having one a week or so. Thank you 😊

[@Snichols315]

So great to see all your progress! Your stitching is beautiful!

[@valerie-stitchinginthebarn723]

Hi Lori! What a lovely surprise to have an extra visit with you pop up. 😀 Everything you showed was so beautiful and inspiring and it’s fun to know you are working along on many of the same projects I am! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kimsopar6976]

Hi Lori - so nice to catch up on you update. I had already planned to stitch the same Barbara Ana design, starting on our wedding anniversary this year (29th April). I also planned to replace the Love with our surname, and was tossing up about what year (maybe both - we are also only 2 months apart and born in the same year, and it's our 50th birthdays this year as well). It's looking lovely already. Thank you for sharing.

[@JoannaShoemaker]

I love how you work on different projects on different days of the month. What a great idea! I always feel like I need to work on one thing until I finish it and then I seem to get burned out and bored. I think working on different projects throughout the month is fun and won't let you get bored. I love all the different shades of red floss...they are all so beautiful! Just curious...does Cassidy quilt or stitch like you? If she does, it would be great to see what she makes. And...by the way, those business cards are absolutely adorable and what a cute idea of using them to hold your floss. Is there anything you don't think of? Your creative mind is amazing!

[@charj57]

I love the reds from the Country Garden!!

[@WaterfallFW]

As always I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of your projects. I love seeing your linens, floss and bags. All great stuff!
