Flosstube #12 - Stitchtober Progress, WIP's, Sampler in a Jar & Memory Stitching!!

[@melindafisher1584]

This video was full of lovely portable projects...wool pennies, cross stitch buttons, cross stitch smalls...just love the comfort that remembering our grandparents brings...from family dinners to overnight stays, a craft learned from Grandma, sitting on an old green stool and watching my Grandma mix up a batch of cookies.

[@robinselby1]

Goodness mercy that blackbird wool appliqué piece you made on the quilted piece is the prettiest thing I have bet seen❤️❤️ seriously Lori you have such a God given beautiful talent! I love every single thing you create, wow! Thank you for all of your inspiration, beautiful designs and sharing and teaching and just everything!

[@melbaburwell6264]

I’m catch up on all your floss tube videos. I know you get a lot of comments on your work. I just wanted you to know how I love watching your videos and I really appreciate so much the beauty in what you do. Thank you do much for sharing all that you do. Your work is simply AMAZING. I pray that God will continue to really bless you and fly our family in all that you do!!!❤

Thank you so much for using our Baked Clay linen Lori. We appreciate it very much. The Reverend Gourdon Shashbottom looks fantastic!!

[@lindamelz242]

What Beauty created by your hand to inspire us all !!! Thanks for that and sharing.

[@donnakeim2049]

Gosh, I want to learn how to do these beautiful cross stitch patterns. I have never done this and I need to take a class or something to learn how. Your things are just so beautiful and I wonder when you sleep because you have so many, many different projects. Your eyes must be strong to be able to do these tiny things. Simply love the buttons and your ideas for them.

[@suzeezee8196]

I just love your videos! Your projects are beautiful! I love that you are doing red samplers for the ladies in your family! You are such an inspiration!

[@normajean8105]

Lori I think you're the best stitcher! Everything you do is just so Beautiful . I was actually a little bummed this video was only 39 minutes LOL

[@debbiemartin9838]

Oh Lori you inspired me with this video to make samplers honoring my female ancestors and I just love this so much. It can be passed down for generations and I can’t thank you enough for this idea. I love the sampler in a jar also. Are those buttons ? Wonderful idea!!

[@kathyhaymaker840]

Thank you for sharing your memories with us!! Your ideas are very inspiring!!! I’m going to try several of them!! I didn’t get the chance to be around my grandparents except once a year when daddy had his vacation. But my memories of them are the most special ones to me!! Thank you again!!! 🪡🪡🧵🧵🍓🍅🎄💐🧶🍐🍎🍯🐝🐸🇺🇸

[@lindapowell683]

Thank you, Lori!! Another fabulous floss tube chock full of ideas!! I had not known you made the Autumn Love section into a wall hang/runner, and I did too. I fell in love at first site!! All your stitchings are so beautiful, and I cant figure out how you get so much done. Love your project bags and I need to get busy and make a few. I'm usually a monogamous stitcher, however *cough, *cough - I've been influenced to start more & more!! LOL! Also loved the idea of a "heritage wall" .......... I need more wall space and storage area for unseasonal items - but then again, the saying............... I'm doing without. Off to stitch and get caught up!! Bless you for sharing!!

[@jeantruckey1502]

Not only is your stitching beautiful but the emotions and sentiments you stitch into your pieces are beautiful as well. 🪡🪡🪡

[@homecomfortspreserved4164]

You are so incredibly creative and industrious. Are you a very fast stitcher? I don’t know how you get all this done,it’s amazing and inspiring. I love how you tie your memories into your stitching and thinking of things your family members said. I wish I could get even a fourth of what you do done! Just beautiful. God bless and keep stitching! Look forward to the next one already.

[@vickyb5935]

Thank you Lori for telling us how you filled the pillows with sawdust - I was one of those who asked and now I know how to proceed!

[@mendyelliott9495]

Lori I absolutely love your words on a spool! My grandmother passed away and I received what was in her sewing room. I’m sure you can imagine all the treasures and memories. Inside her sewing box where a bunch of old wooden bobbins along with her well used thimble. This is perfect. You brought tears to my eyes . Always remember those who came before you. ❤️🥰

[@kristi.schwisow]

Love the wool appliqué quilt. Looking forward to your virtual market new releases.

Your videos always go by so fast; I am never ready for them to end!! I am on overload with all of the gorgeous projects and ideas that you share with us. Thank you so much for being so giving of your time and talents. I absolutely loved it all; so inspiring. P.S. My grandmother used to say, “My nose itches, someone’s coming with a hole in their britches”!! LOL. I will need to stitch that one in her honor; she was such a beautiful woman with a sense of humor and lots of love to give, miss her. Happy stitching to you…………

Loved your video. I’m making a quilt in a jar for my two daughters. I am using fabrics from the many quilts I’ve made for them. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@marniekatzbeck5856]

Lovely idea, could you show pictures.

[@coastflyer1]

[@margaretbaker623]

Thank you, Lori. You've given me many new-to-me ideas today. ❤

[@juliannefrankie120]

Lori I would love it if you could show us how you do your wool applique and penney rugs. Also some tips on where to buy the wool and applique threads. Love your videos and all of your projects are so beautiful!

[@Rfd55299]

Wow Lori. You always amaze me with creativity. The words on the hemmed piece of fabric…genius!!! Thank you for sharing your creativity with the rest of us.

[@faeriepabich6414]

Oh, Lori, I can’t tell you how much I love the way you honor your family and your heritage. You inspire me so much! I wish you would share how you structure your day to accomplish so much…do you have designated stitching/quilting/crochet times during the day? You are just amazing, and touch me in so many ways!

[@mrschiefstitchlisag7084]

I’m on board for that “structuring my day” video!! Please give us pro tips !!

[@varshakean6331]

Lori you are so talented and share your beautiful work with us .

[@cathynuytten798]

Your work is so beautiful! I am amazed you can work on such fine cloth! I need larger Aida cloth. Even with my glasses!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Such a wonderful chat! Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@periwinklestitcher]

Lori I can’t believe how productive you are! I think I stitch fast but this is so incredible- thank you for all your amazing inspiration 😀 I love your message of listening with your heart - so important and yet not so easy for people to do - love from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 xx

[@peggyyoung1839]

I also stitched Matilda Hornbuckle because I am a Hornbuckle (my maiden name). I bought your bag panel & finally found your zippers. Can’t wait to make them

[@colleenmarty5512]

Lovely work, I love your idea of placing a Christmas motif inside the barn or silo door and plan to do the same now. Added The Gather Inn to my list of patterns to acquire and stitch next fall. Thanks for all you do and the inspiration you spark.

[@joyd5000]

I always love seeing all your projects!

[@BuckeyeCrossStitcher]

I try to use every scrap of fabric. I love the idea of making buttons. I always get a great idea when I watch your videos!... Christie was showing her stitching mats she makes. I made some oversized placemats for retreats I attended this year. However, I don't quilt. I commented that maybe you could do some panels for stitching mats like you did for the project bags. I love these cute things but need easy!

[@tammielatimer5357]

You are such an inspiration! I love your Sampler in a jar and your sweet messages on the vintage spools!

[@jeanhefflinger5411]

Your ideas are endless. So inspirational. Thank you!

[@helenberry1942]

What a great idea to keep your family history in stitches. I have a few samples pieces from one of my grandmothers. I will borrow your idea and stitch a sampler in her memory. Then frame it and have some of her pieces framed along side. Thank you Lori, you are so inspiring!

[@margm4]

Thankyou Lori, for your inspirational works of art. Just so beautiful. 😊🇦🇺

[@justsewsherry7184]

Another great video. You are so inspiring and I look forward to each video you produce. I just can't keep with you.

[@jolee303]

I love your creative ways of keeping family history alive. It's so important to me. I heard my parents and grandparents use the "use it up..." phrase and it immediately made me think of them. It got me wondering what other sayings I should capture as well. Your stitching and style is second to none! Thanks for sharing.

[@familystitchin]

Just beautiful….I love your projects ❤️

[@valeriesmith6423]

Lori, you are my hero and a total inspiration to me. I have used some of your organization ideas and bought several of your books, chunky thread, design boards, quilt patterns, etc. you and Kimberly are great examples to sooo many. Working on your Crazy Quilt pattern right now. Love your fabrics and designs, very old school (Vintage) and great memories of my grandmothers as well. Thank you for all you do. Don’t know how you do it all? Grateful to all you amazing women. 👍😘❤️🤗❤️

[@tinacallisto6349]

What a small world it truly is Lori. My great, grand & parents are from Pacentro. I will be sharing your family’s surname with my mum and who knows where that conversation will take us.

[@aprilroberts7131]

Ah! I get it now, "Sampler in a Jar!" I kept hearing it mentioned and could not get my mind around what it meant. Fun!

[@TheBridgeBookclub]

As always, great video and beautiful stitches and ideas!😍

[@NancyRodriguez-xj4sd]

Thank you for sharing all your beautiful work. You are so inspiring.

[@ritasokol646]

All I can say is you are amazing Lori!! How do you do it?!! Every video is more inspiration for me. I love, love what you did with the strip of silk, stitching words from your grandparents. What a beautiful piece of heartfelt memories and love. The words are our foundation, what we live by. And to stitch scriptures: That would make a beautiful bookmark for a bible, I enjoy all your videos, fabrics, notions etc. I am enjoying crocheting with your chunky thread too! Please, please keep these videos coming as they are my respite and therapy. Would it be possible if in one of your next projects/planners you would add one or two canning recipes ( I have your canning quilt pattern, and 😍 it). . I’m first generation Italian and I enjoyed helping my mom can veggies, fruits and jellies in the fall. For days and days. You are inspiring so many of us Lori to be creative, preserve not only our food but our heritage and precious memories as well. Thank you for all you do.

[@candigordon3591]

You are the most amazing quilter and stitcher. Love everything always. Thank you for sharing.❤️🧵🪡❤️

[@stitchingforsanity]

I ordered Gather Inn right after seeing yours. Thank you for sharing all your creativity with us!

[@vickiewehring8836]

Stitching our memories makes this hobby so meaningful…it’s our story in stitches! I do a lot of stitching just because it’s fun and I enjoy it but I find more and more I like my stitching to include a memory or be in honor of all those that have gone before us. Your projects are always so inspiring. My new Quiltmobile will be very vintage inspired and the old farmhouse will include those projects I’ve stitched in memory of a loved one. ❤️

[@lindawheeler9450]

Thank you Lori I don’t cross stitch but you sure inspire me I have all your books love to look at your project bags I just got my panel love love love

[@teresaatkinson5610]

I adore that wisdom strip. So inspiring.

[@angiedanilovich2661]

Super fun and can't wait till next week.

[@BrandiTalmadge]

You are so inspiring - your desire and follow through with family history has me evaluating how I can turn my family history into stitching. Thank you Lori! 🥰

[@gingerhargraves2121]

Lori, you have been blessed with so many talents, and I so appreciate your ideas you share with us to inspire us. I began stitching in January after about 20 years. I am enjoying it so much and am especially enjoying stitching with my daughter, even though we are many miles apart. FaceTime keeps us close and gives us time to share our projects and progress with each other. I love the idea of including your family members in your projects. What a great idea.

[@nancygignac-terry3497]

Super super lovely designs with gorgeous Color’s

[@allisonferber5474]

Thank you for sharing your ideas so generously.

[@barbarabraun6412]

Lori, another delightful and inspiring video! When thinking of my maternal grandparents, I vividly remember Grandpa saying to Grandma - Barbi’s here, Barbi loves bacon! And, yes, breakfast included bacon. Still makes me smile😊. May just have to stitch that.

[@nsmerkt]

Another lovely chat! You always inspire yo pick up my needle whether it’s quilting or cross stitch. That spool you shared was possibly my favorite thing you’ve ever stitched, and that’s saying A LOT! My husband works on our genealogy while I stitch and we’ve often talked about how to combine these two. Stitching these spools and purls of wisdom is just perfect. Thank Sew very much for inspiring us and sharing your talents with this community.

[@lorrainearmstrong327]

I love all your cross stitching. The colors, fabric and saw dust. What a great idea. You are so creative with your colors. I know you graduated in something related to all the things you do, but you are so talented and what a talent you have. Are you going to stitch the entire pattern for Autumn Hollow? Between you and Kimberly from Fat Quarters I have started stitching and quilting again. You are both very inspiring. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful talent.

[@barbarachase7725]

Yes, so much inspiration from you… Never doubt that! I’ll be looking for little motifs so I can make the covered buttons. I so enjoy your videos, both cross stitch and quilting. I’m always amazed at your creativity. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@NDQuilter1]

Oh Lori you are so creative. God Bless

[@kathyaschenbach8081]

[@DotJFreel]

Gosh I need some of your white back ground fabric! I love it all. Really love your bags, too. So cute. I love all of the cross stitch you showed but it's not anything I've ever done.

[@srsandi1595]

Oh Lori! Stitching your family words and Scripture is such a wonderful idea! I would have never had thought of that! I’m definitely going to do this! I’m a bit confused about what you stitch the words on. Is it stitched on a specific banding fabric? I’m also just in love with the sampler in a jar. When I was little I always played with my moms buttons in her tin. As So I saw your sampler in a jar I started making it for my little ones to play with! They are having so much fun with my jar so far! Thank you for so much inspiration!!!
