There is no way I can express how happy my heart is to have you back in my “KZbin” life. I mentioned to you one time about my drug addicted daughter. I hope you remember our little convo, I wanted you to know how good Jesus is. She is back home with us and our prayers have been answered. It’s a daily journey, but she is now depending on things she was taught growing up. You are such an inspiration to me and I just needed to tell you. Not to mention how you get my quilting juices flowing when I’m in a slump. God bless you and all of your endeavors.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Sherry, I am so glad to be a blessing to you!!! I love this connection and how even though I'm talking to myself in my room when I record...I can push a button and publish that video and make a difference in people's lives. It blows me away!! God is so good and brings us hope and encouragement when we need it. I'm glad to be an encouragement to you and WOW! What an encouragement you are to me with hearing about your daughter!!! I have been hearing from other parents and how with patience, prayer and God's miracles...they come back to God and health. So glad and thank you for sharing!!!

[@jackiefitzgerald6995]

I am binge watching all you quilt videos and you are such an inspiration. I watch till the end, a sister in Christ. Thanks for the reply on the thread. I have since ordered thread, books and boxes. I’m so inspired that I am back to quilting everyday. I inherited my Mom’s sewing room and my daughter is busy stitching too.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Jackie, I'm thrilled that you are a stitching sister as well as a sister in Christ!! So wonderful! Love that you have your mom's sewing room and your daughter stitches as well! It makes me happy that my sister and I both enjoyed my Mom's stash and quilts. It's gotten me thinking on what I want done with my stash when it's time.

[@jodilarson5298]

I just found your channel a couple of days ago. I’m so thankful you are open with your faith in Jesus. I now understand why I was drawn to come back. Blessings & Prayers!

[@dc5600]

Bonnie, We moved to Kentucky 3 months ago to be closer to kids but it's such an adjustment to start over at 70! We downsized, and I have a tiny little sewing room now for quilting & cross stitching, but I'm thankful for it. I feel like I'm visiting with you when you're sharing your life and your love of Jesus. Thanks! Charlene

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Charlene, You are so brave to make the move at 70. It is a challenge that I didn't realize would be so all encompassing! You're doing great to be close to your kids and I hope they are a blessing to you!! Thank you for visiting with me in my room as you create in your sweet little room. The space may be small, but if you are surrounded with your stitching treasures and your Jesus...that's a good place to be!!

[@lynnedavis4271]

Binge watching your quilt videos. Love your idea on mix & matching pattern elements. After 30 years of quilting I'm still learning & evolving. Thanks for opening your heart & home. ❤

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Lynne, I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos...past and present!! I enjoy the interaction with my sharing and all these fun comments from my stitching family...so much to learn and share!!

[@debbiedomagal6839]

What an awesome amount of information. Please make them as long as you can do, I will always watch till the end. Can't wait for the next one. "You do You"!!! Your faith is a gift from god.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Debbie, you are so sweet!! I always have so much to talk about with my dear stitching family, and I'm glad you enjoy my longer videos and all I have to share. One will be coming soon!!

[@kathleenarves323]

Thank you for your up lifting messages. I so appreciate your message of use what you have. I definitely struggle and feel overwhelmed when I hear about all the fancy flosses, linen and material lines. I have a real fear that my projects will be ugly in comparison if I don't get exactly what the creators use, but in reality most of the time they are just fine. I also will pray for your prodigal kiddos. Please pray for mine. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you.

[@lisamunchausen7158]

Thank you so much. I love every part of your video. The quilting part is especially interesting. You are very encouraging.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Lisa, I'm so happy that you enjoyed your visit with me in all my silliness and chatting. I love to connect with the awesome stitching friends who watch my videos and I appreciate your support!

[@carmenmontmarquet706]

My Goodness Bonnie, you are amazing! Always look forward to your videos!! You always offer great tips and share so much of yourself as well as all your wonderful quilts. Really love hearing the stories behind each one of them! I am drawn to the darker colors and so happy to find someone who loves them too! I haven not made a log cabin quilt yet but have always wanted to! So fun to see I have Backwoods Retreat and a Log Cabin Notebook but never made any of their quilts. I actually went to one of Mary Ellen's demo's years ago and loved her, she was a hoot! I have been doing mostly wool applique the last few years but watching your videos has inspired me to want to sew again, I am also in the process of trying to organize my sewing room and huge stash, hopefully that will help! Thanks for being you and for all you put into your videos!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

How fun that you have Backwoods Retreat!!! There are so many fun projects in the book to enjoy. I have a few paper pieced blocks waiting to be used still. I have so many different hobbies I enjoy, so it's fun to go from one to another and not get burnt out. I appreciate your encouragement!

[@scottydog6539]

Beautiful log cabin quilt. Your quilts are gorgeous. I really mean it

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

So glad you enjoyed my many quilt projects and all the stories behind them!!! Thank you for connecting with me!

[@neilstephen6761]

Love your cute dog. Thank you for sharing a most enjoyable video.Happy stitching

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Glad you enjoyed it! Riley is my constant companion and my emotional support dog. He works full time!

[@elizabethconley9956]

Hello, your orange peel quilt is beautiful. I like slow stitching and can't wait to see your progress. Have a great week!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Thank you! I did get some stitching on it….so bright! It’s funny, when I pulled out the darker quilt, it felt so relaxing!

[@pinkkitty5844]

You’re a talented quilter and stitcher. Absolutely loved your quilts.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Ahh, thank you so much!! I appreciate your encouragement!

[@rosesells5609]

I love slow stitching! Jeri is great for slow stitching!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I'm glad that there are so many fun videos encouraging us to slow down and enjoy simply stitching!! It is so restorative and enjoyable.

[@scottydog6539]

Your work is so beautiful. I love Kim Diehl books/fabrics.

[@sflesner7195]

Love your videos! You are so creative and talented. Again appreciate your sharing your beautiful quilts and the process in creating them. We share the same interests in primitive designers, colors and styles. However your orange peel quilt is very intriguing. Thank you for all your efforts in producing these videos. I look forward to your next one.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

So glad you enjoy our visits and I hope to have a new video in the next few days. I've been busy and love to chat away to all my stitching friends that want to know what I've been up to. Lately I've been watching decorating videos and getting more ideas for making small quilts for my displays.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

I have watched you since day one! What a blessing you have been for so many of us!! Of course we want to see all your projects, which are just beautiful, but in the end, it’s your honesty and YOUR encouragement for us in this sad and chaotic world. ❤️❤️

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Sara!!! How marvelous that you're still with me!!! I appreciate you always watching and commenting and being so loyal to me in all my silliness and stitching!! Thank you

[@bryan-qt5gk]

Bonnie, great video. I hate for them to end. You inspire me in so many ways. Thank you for taking the time to film…you are my favorite flosstube creator. Your talents and your faith are a gift to us all. Can’t wait to see you again. ❤

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I'm so glad to be your favorite!! Makes me feel so special. I value your support and encouragement! Should be another one coming soon!

[@dollyyarborough2918]

Hello from NC Bonnie! Thank you! So fun to “visit” with you….your pieces are gorgeous…the pineapple and pumpkin being my favorite. I’m a big fan of Kim Diehl and have a lot of her books, with the pineapple wall hanging in one of them. I would love to make that! So kind of you to share your knowledge of threads and the other supplies we use. Thank you for taking the time to share where we can, if just for a little while, have a respite from when the world events make no sense. Thank goodness we have needle and thread. Bless you Bonnie.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Dolly, I'm so glad you enjoy your visits with me and they help bring joy into this crazy world!! I love sharing with so many people who long to hear and share in this stitching life.

[@deborahwilder547]

I love your VIDEOS. Don't worry about the length of them. The time goes so quickly as I am quilting. I learn so much from your knowledge of quilting and love the same types of fabric you show. Keep up the good work! God bless.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Deborah, I appreciate your encouragement to just keep sharing as I do. I can't believe how long I've talked when I push stop!! There's always so much to share and I value that people actually want to hear!

[@wooleygirl5240]

Bonnie, I just love your videos. I am fairly new to your channel, so I get to go back and watch all of your other videos. Yay! You and I are alot alike. I love your quilting style and colors. I love slow stitching too. Your quilts are beautiful. I admit I am a little quirky, my husband says that's one of the reasons he was attracted to me. Haha! I love how you profess your faith-if I didn't have Jesus in my life, I don't know how I would have made it through tough times. You are such an inspiration, Bonnie, and I hope you continue to make these wonderful videos. God Bless you! Pam Miller

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Pam, I’m so glad we think alike and you come to visit me in my Sewing Room! It’s funny, my husband says the same about me…he likes my crazy and he says it livens up his life. Without my Jesus, I would be toast! I love that He’s inside my head and loves me anyhow!

[@NDQuilter1]

You are a Hoot! Your hair looks great, by the way. ❤❤❤ all your quilts,beautiful. I Don't live in a log cabin and never have but love log cabins in my applique projects. My favorite block is a log cabin. Love your Kaffe quilt,bright and sunny for summer, fun for displaying . I learn so much from you.😊 I enjoyed every minute of this. I'm so like you,and that's what I love about you. I'm just as crazy, and love being by myself instead of groups of people except quilt groups.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

How awesome to have others that are like me! We keep the world around us guessing, don’t we? I thought I would be sad with all the log cabin stitching and decorations that I have, but it reminds me of all the wonderful times I had in the Wildwoods. It still hasn’t sold yet, and we are patiently waiting, but we know this life here surrounded with nature is right for us.

[@kathysnavely1802]

So wonderful to see and hear you again, sister-in-faith. We too have a prodigal. 2 estranged granddaughters that I love and miss as well. God is so good. He hears our prayers and loves us so. God Bless You!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Kathy, thank you for your encouragement!! If we dwell on the problems, we take our eyes and thoughts off of our God who is able to soften hearts and strengthen those who need to keep praying and hoping. Glad we can visit together through these videos!

[@cynthialanger1813]

I absolutely love you! Thank you for being REAL! My son was a prodigal to the n-th degree. He is in his early 40’s now and has turned into an absolute Jesus freak. Keep praying. Our God is a big God!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Cynthia, I really needed that encouragement today...I missed this when it came in. My sons have been heavy on my heart today. Bless you!

[@barbaramoser8006]

Love your videos! Yes, I'm just like you. I need to write things down or I forget things! And the projects I'm working I have a long list too! Your quilts are beautiful!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Barbara, thank you for your lovely support and it makes me feel good to know I share things in common with my dear stitching family!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Loretta, I am so glad you came to visit me and I value your encouragement!

[@margiewest4819]

I really enjoy your videos. Your work is beautiful! You are truly an inspiration. Love your talk about Jesus! Margie \TN

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Margie, I'm so glad you enjoy your visits with me and my love of stitching and Jesus!

[@patriciabaatsen6122]

Love listening to your voice while I sew

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Patricia, I'm so glad I get to keep you company while you stitch!! I love that!

[@Brenda-G]

Wow! Bonnie you really out did yourself on this video. Such fun seeing your quilts with the hand stitching. I have just got in to watching the slow stitching videos. It looks so relaxing. Thanks, really enjoyed as always.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Brenda, thank you for those sweet words and encouragement!! Life goes by so fast and we have to purposefully slow it down and enjoy the present. That's what I find when I'm hand stitching. It gives me time to think, listen to an audio book or just enjoy the fabric and thread and what I'm creating. Glad you are enjoying that also!

[@janhietpas4929]

Oohhh your surprise quilt is awesome! I'm pretty eclectic in my tastes..... but I totally love the "dark and dirty" AND I'm going to check out your slow stitch playlist. Thanks for sharing all that you do ❤

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Jan, I'm so glad you are connecting with the variety of quilts and stitching treasures I share!! It's fun to play with different colors and textures!

[@sharonkenshalo831]

You’re my kind of stitcher, keep upg❤reat videos love your content, comments and I’m like you little wonky. Do what pleases you .

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Ahhh A Wonky Sister!! So glad you are part of my stitching family and that you enjoy what I have to share. Thank you!

[@nancyseefeldt8378]

I am up at our log cabin in the forest on a lake enjoying some vacation! Enjoy your videos!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Nancy, how fun to think of you in your log cabin in the forest and on the lake!!! I read this when it came in and we were on a vacation to Victoria British Columbia and went to Butchart Gardens!!!! So, we both had fun times!!! So, you also understand the amazing treat it is to have a log cabin...as well as the maintenance!

[@candacekerr4139]

Yes please , joy! It’s what I look for right now. I started making grungy Grammy dolls, and cross stitching,it takes my mind off world events. Thank you for making this time!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Yes! Stitching can bring peace and joy as we create something beautiful in the midst of a crazy world! We just went to the movie Regan last night and I came away so hopeful!

[@joanfuhrmann9824]

I love your long videos I do crafts and always have my computer with you tube on and like to listen and be able to stop and watch than go back to listening will continue watching

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Joan, I really appreciate that you love the long videos I do. I do the same thing when I'm stitching.....I push play when I need company and then pause when I've got things I need to get to. I enjoy the variety of styles out there and sometimes need that inspiration and I'll rewatch videos as well. Thanks for sharing!

[@kathigaimara6955]

You are such a joy to visit with! Thank you for opening your heart and being willing to share your love Jesus and knowledge of needlearts. Time spent with you is always a treasured gift. Blessings to you, stitchy friend!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Kathi!! Thank you for visiting with me and I appreciate that you love to hear what I have to share, both about stitching as well as my faith!

[@bjune1285]

I too have social anxiety. I have ddeptession, agraphonia, fear of leaving my house.. I buy everything on lline except grocery sjopping, and I'm gearimg. I find my family does not understand and tend to get a little "testy" with me. I!m 71 , I have macular degeneration, so I've lost most of my central vision, I can do most of everything I did before, just slot slower, I can't drive anymore, so I miss Dr's appointments alot. I so enjoy your videos. I do have to watch them in snippets cause my attention span is not ad. long as it used to be. I'm also caregiver to my disabled sister who is not very very patient. You use th colors that I really like, the primitive look. When I see your things, your projects, and listen to your stories I feel happy and not so alone. I thank Heavenly Father several times a day for my many blessings and I am grateful he sent your channel to me!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I'm so glad I can bring comfort and joy to you in the midst of your challenges. Life is hard....but God is GOOD! I keep reminding myself that His Understanding is Unsearchable...that brings me so much comfort and stability when I am uncertain about what I should do in a situation. Our stitching can bring us joy and surrounding ourselves with those who support us and are positive influences is a good thing. Blessings to you!

[@barbaracostello2461]

I love to watch and listen to you, no matter how long the videos. You bring joy to me and I look forward to spending time with you again soon. I'm so thankful you share Jesus and lift up His wonderful name. Blessings to you in all you do!!!❤❤❤

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Barbara, I appreciate that you love the long videos!! Sometimes I can't believe I've talked so long! There's always so much I'm excited to show all my stitching friends!

Your hair looks fabulous…..you forgot to show us the beautiful quilt hanging from the shelf😂

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Thank you, Janet!!! I know....I forgot all about that beauty! I'll put that on my list for the upcoming quilt video!! I have an old video with that quilt in there....here's the link and go to the 16 minute mark.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqGlnJ59qt-Bm5Y

[@deedeezankowitz3676]

Bonnie, I thoroughly enjoy your flosstube and am so grateful to find you. Thank you especially for sharing your faith. I will pray with you for your children.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

DeeDee, thank you so much for being part of my dear stitching family and sharing in my stories and my life. I so appreciate your prayers for my kids.

[@maryellenmcinnis7693]

I so enjoy your videos. I love how you just talk to us like we’re there with you. It’s like you’re my nextdoor neighbor! Love grunge and I’m a repro 1920’s fabric and older person. Every once and awhile we just have to shock people, even our self! How I wish I did the binding prep And kept it with the unfinished quilt. I’m paying for it now. Oh I love throwing my quilt in the washer and dryer immediately! That old look is special to me. Those color catchers are terrific and a game changer! In regards to using what you have, I love “shopping at home”. I don’t mean internet shopping but finding the treasures I already own, whether it’s fabric, floss, thread, antiques, things I have previously made and then using them. God has blessed me with so much it’s time to use it. It applies to plants too, if I can get new plants from what I have by whatever method it’s amazing. Yes, Quilters Dream all the way and especially request loft. Bamboo is Select loft but it still quilts like butter. Prayers for your situation I know it is hard. I was selected to give a devotional for a baby shower and the Lord was teaching me the hard way that it is He alone who saves. One can do all the “right “ things in bringing up their children but they can not actually save them. I knew also that people can and do twist around what people say and I figured that if I went ahead with with “Truth the Lord Has Taught Me In Raising Children “ I could get crucified plus I knew I won’t be able to get through it without crying but I also knew that He wanted me to tell what I learnt. My prayer is even through my tears it gave the new mom to be understanding and not a misunderstanding of what being a Christian mom is and who the Lord is. Thanks for taking your time to do the video.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

MaryEllen, thank you for sharing your heart with me about what God had wanted you to share at the baby shower. We, as parents, feel so much pressure to raise perfect kids who will share all our values and it just doesn't always turn out that way. I am praying that God, in His Sovereignty, will bring my sons back to Himself and heal their broken places. We can train them in the way they should grow, but He will be the One who brings them back when they depart from Him. Parenting is so much harder than I ever thought it would be.

[@kathyb.8769]

Oh Bonnie…. How you just soothe my soul. As I have shard with you, I lost my eldest daughter Jenn (41). A year and a half ago. She was the one who I shared saying KZbin friends were not real friends…. I shared with you oh Christmas tree and you shared with me felt. In any regard , seeing you and hearing you reminds me of that exchange with her, playful as she was. It is so good seeing you again and seeing you so happy and content. Thank you for being a friend and sister In Christ. I checked on you via messenger while you were gone. You have made a Lifelong impression in my life. Thank you for that and thank you for always sharing the Good stuff. I was wondering what you new year word or phrase was for 2024. Thought and prayed about You then as well. 💜🙏🏻💜

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Kathy, I remember when you shared the pattern with me and what your daughter had said. It's amazing how we can connect through the videos and comments. Something we never would have even thought of when we were young!! It was just TV and radio. But, I am finding this form of friendship and interaction to be so valuable. I'm so glad I can be a blessing in your life...specially now with your sorrow. I find the connection of other ladies sharing on their channels and find it amazing and comforting to find those with authenticity and just the real life stuff they share and how it makes them feel. Bless you, !!

[@joycemonroe651]

Bonnie, loved the video and thanks for sharing all of your knowledge! The hand quilting is beautiful. I just finished machine quilting an Americana throw (used warm and natural batting) as I always do. Cant wait to try the Quilters Dream brand. The thinner one will be helpful when I embellish the machine quilting with hand embroidery stitches. As you say..."Breathe, choose Joy" and see you when you return! 🪡🧵♥

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Joyce, thank you so much for being a part of my stitching family and sharing so generously with me!!

[@carolsanin7967]

My first love is quilting and it’s my happy place. It’s where I can forget my problems for a few hours and be creative. Good for you that you can find a happy place.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Carol, yes!!! It is so wonderful to have a world to immerse ourselves in and feel creative, comfortable and restored. I have so many sweet stitching projects that bring me joy and a lovely room to display them in. Thank you for coming to visit and share your time and love of quilting!

[@janniehoffknecht5142]

My creative space is my 10 person dinning room table. Love being able take down when I need the table for family dinners

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Jannie, That is a good space!! Good to be able to create as well as have family dinners. It takes organization and planning, but so doable!!

[@debrastewart9194]

I just love you and your videos!! It is like I'm visiting a wonderful and insightful friend! I have a few quilting years on you, I started in the early 90s, but I love your style. I really needed to hear "use what you have". Now that I've retired, I have time to finish all my UFOs. I think I suffer from stitcher' ADHD. Thank you for sharing!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Stitchers ADHD! Yes! I continue to bounce all over the place and want to buy whatever pulls at my emotions, but with retirement upon us and way too many UFOs, it is good to buckle down and enjoy the marvelous things we already have!

[@kathygarvin5084]

I just wanted to let you know how happy I am you're back and I love your wonderful talent and so easy to listen to. I also wanted to let you know if you haven't already found them. Family Worship Center Singers sing a song called "My Jesus" I think you would enjoy!! Keep up the wonderful videos..❤

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Kathy, I'm so glad to know that I bring you joy and I appreciate your suggestion of the Family Worship Center Singers...I haven't heard of them, but I will check now. Thank you!

[@sharonkenshalo831]

I have a small wooden chest which I have had for years. Almost just like yours which I refurnished and stained it. Happy birthday. 10:58

[@susanreynolds9544]

Such a great video. Missed you when you were gone. And, I cut my long hair, too!!! Love it❤️🙏🏻🎶

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Susan!! So good to hear from you again! It's amazing to be able to do some of these things ourselves that can cost so much money. I finally found someone to cut my hair that was very affordable. It was so funny to have her try to figure out how to fix the ragged edges I had cut....

[@suehatcher1209]

Love you, love your videos. I hope when you say "throw it away" you really mean donate it :)

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Sue, I'm so glad you enjoy my chatty visits!! Most of the time, I do donate or gift my things, but sometimes it's so hard to decide where it should go, and I need to get it out of my home that I do just toss it. I guess for me it's deciding what's priority and I struggle with decisions. I do love having my quilt guild and our free table to be able to bring items every month that others are glad to get...that makes it super easy!!

[@jackiebaumhauer4831]

Love your bright quilt, especially your stitching. Enjoy all your videos!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Jackie, thank you!! It is fun to have different styles and colors than my norm. I love working with that thread pack. Thanks for watching

[@marsharountree8870]

I'm so glad that I accidently came upon your channel. I feel like I'm spending time in my best friend's sewing room! With the hoards of social media 'influencers' who appear to be perfect, its so refreshing to see a real human, with frailties and weaknesses. Your honesty about your issues and the humorous way that you discuss them always makes me smile. Talk as long as you like, Bonnie.......I'll stay to the end for the 'good stuff'. God Bless you and yours.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Marsha, thank you so much for encouraging me to just be myself and share as much as I like! I appreciate that. I'm glad you enjoy your visits with me and stay to the end for the Good Stuff!! God bless you!

[@scottydog6539]

Your log cabin home is so so beautiful. 😅

Thank you!!!! It has certainly been a labor of love to restore it. The deck is one of our favorite spots and was restored the first month we moved up there to live full time. Riley loved having a place to be off leash and watch the world around him.

Happy belated Birthday.

Thank you.

[@suevoigt5973]

Thanks for another video . I love listening to your chats and your quilts and your slow stitching looks great . ❤❤

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Sue, I'm so glad you came to visit with me and enjoy alllll that I have to share and chat about. Thank you!

[@SueB-x4v]

Happy Birthday Bonnie 🎉 lovely as always ‘chatting’ with you… I must be crazy too as I cut my hair yesterday just like you did..!!! hairdressers here are so expensive and I’d rather spend my money on my quilting..!!! I’ve just ordered some quilters dream on your recommendation so thank you… I really like your bright quilt, I find I’m drawn to Kaffe fabrics even though I love mainly reproduction… weird as they couldn’t be more different…🤷‍♀️ stay well in this crazy world…💕

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Sue, isn't that funny that you had also just cut your hair!!!! There are so many other fun things to spend our money on!! But, I did find someone who is very inexpensive and it was funny when she was trying to figure out what my hair was supposed to look like!!! Thanks for watching and enjoying both the brights and the dark and muddy projects!

[@shannongragujhhjkbnkjnjjvh5671]

I so love your vedios. You have a very nice voice to listen to for as long as you want to talk. Hope you have a nice few weeks tell you come back again. Big hugs from western Washington state. Shannon

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Ahh, thank you!! I do love to chatter away, don't I. So much to share and so much I'm excited about! I left the next day after the video for a trip to Washington State!! My sister in law lives in Quincy, WA and we stayed with her and her family for a few days, then we all galavanted over to Canada and went to Victoria Island and stayed at a darling place and had several days at Butchart Gardens. It was hot in WA!!!

[@shannongragujhhjkbnkjnjjvh5671]

@logcabinstitcher7274 yes we have been having warm weather these last few years. I dislike anything over 79 Hope your.drive home was nice. Looken to go on our fall vacation. We take lots of mini vacas to Idaho to see the two granddaughters. They use to live 8 miles from us but now 6hours. But it.gets us away from the farm. What does the family in quincy do?

[@theresaaguilera9212]

Thank you so much for your videos! I love all your projects. I had joined the Thirteenth Simple Whatnots Club via Fat Quarter shop, but was not excited about them until you showed you stitching on your quilts ! I can’t wait to start them now. And because of you, I will be slow stitching them!!! Thanks so much

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Theresa!! HOw fun that you've got Kim Diehl's quilt projects coming and that you're excited about doing some primitive hand quilting on them!! Lots of times Kim has directions in her books for the hand quilting. Glad I could encourage you to do the primitive slow stitching!!!

[@lynntone9369]

I have watched your videos before and really enjoyed them. I like the fact that you go slower than miles other quilters. ❤

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Lynn, I'm so glad you enjoy my slower and chatty videos. I feel so much more comfortable with that in my life and I'm glad to know that you appreciate that. Thank you!

[@JDSMom3]

Hello Bonnie. This is my first time commenting but I've watched several of your videos. Your quilts are beautiful! I have a suggestion for the bright wonky quilt blocks - coffee or tea dye them to tone them down. Maybe? I'm looking forward to your next video. Bless you.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

That’s certainly worth considering and it’s funny, I did that with a few smalls I made that weee just too bright for me. Thanks for the idea and I’m glad you commented so I could connect with you!

[@marylou5209]

Love all your quilts. Like you I learned embroidery from my mother. I do lots of crafts, especially quilts but always embroidery keeps showing back up. The big stitch quilting with perle cotton reminds me of embroidery. Gotta try it

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Marylou, what fun that you also embroidery...and yes...the stitching I do is just the running stitch from embroidery. I have a project I want to do that is embroidery and I've missed doing it for a while. Always so many projects to do!

[@karrib121]

Strangely ugly and attractive. I’m laughing with you. Totally get you. I feel the same way about Kaffe. Chaos but cool. Can my type A mind take it? Used to be no way. Like NOW WAY. But…. Now maybe my precuts will find a life in a quilt. The white background really makes the prints shine.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Chaos but cool....maybe that can be our personal goal for ourselves!?? Better than strangely ugly and attractive!! Ha Glad that we've got so much in common!!

[@conniehaas1039]

Dear Bonnie...Oh what a fun friend you are! Love your quilting and all your sharing.i do hope you share your hand quilting techniques sometime. I am also a prayer person. My children were raised in church and accepted Jesus as small children, but have since gone out into the world. One thing I have noticed though, is they may try to act like the world, but they never fit in there. God has marked them as His own! I truly believe they will recognize the call on their lives and will return to Him! I pray the same for your babies. God's gift and calling are without repentance! Bring them home Jesus!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Connie, thank you so much for that encouragement! I needed it right now. We will continue to pray and hope and love!

[@beckywilliams9703]

I have a request/question. I have fallen in love with your videos, I love your warmth and humor. So, I have begun watching your channel from the very beginning, I believe it is 3 years ago? Anyway, on one of those older videos, you mentioned some baskets you had inherited (that were lovely by the way) but to use them in your crafting, you had lined them! That was a revelation to me. I love baskets but as a knitter, I did not want to use baskets for fear they would snag my yarn. However, I do not understand how to do it. Would it be possible for you to maybe revisit that and give us a few ideas of how to do it? Thank you so much for reading this. I hope you have a good day. Take care.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Becky, I'm glad you're enjoying my videos and even visiting my old Sewing Room and my stitching treasures there. I'd be happy to share ideas about lining the baskets. I hope to be doing a quilting video in the next few days.

[@beckywilliams9703]

[@jackiefitzgerald6995]

I am so happy to find you. Question, where can I find the DMC 50w thread. Also where can I find the aurifil thread on the wooden spool. Thank you.

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Ahh, I'm sorry it took so long to get back to you...I hope you got my responses I shared earlier today.

[@lynnmunden8174]

You are so cute!

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Ahhh!! Thank you Lynn!!!

[@donnabowen7318]

What Fabric line did you use for your Schnibbles quilt? Also do you use a hoop for your hand quilting?

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I don’t use a hoops with my Hand quilting, but find it more comfortable to stitch in hand. You can give it a try both ways and see what works best for you. Oh, the charm packs were raffle prizes years ago and I believe they were a Linda branock line. The reason it worked so well was the mediums and darks. That’s unusual for most fabric lines. I think if you chose 3 charm packs for this quilt, it would give you more options and even have the lights for the block centers.

[@donnabowen7318]

@@logcabinstitcher7274 Thank you for your reply.

This conflict of minimalism and too much stuff is common. I ordered from the ‘long river ‘ elastic bands thanks to China I have more packs of elastic bands than uk GPO postmen use on their rounds in a month but It will see me out. X

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

I'm glad to know others share this conflicting desire for less, while still having special things and lots of them! I'm finding that the concepts I've learned about minimalism are helping me as I shop. Just today at the nursery I was wanting to buy some plants, yet thinking of ones I still hadn't found a place for, so I left without buying anything and found places for ones I still had sitting in their pots. It feels good to work my way though these new thoughts.

[@yvonnevigil7489]

Wish you had your cross stitch channel still going. You can't get as much done as sewing hope it comes back. Bye

[@logcabinstitcher7274]

Actually, I picked up my cross stitch last week and have been working on my Noel Sampler. So…..tada! Should be seeing me soon. So glad I am missed!
