    Love the fabric on your little RBG bags! Feast of Friendship and Might Oak! Wow! Those are both on my 2023 "to stitch" list. Your Audubon Quilt is such a work of art! I can't imagine how much time, but also how much fun you had making that, like hunting for the perfect fabric! What an accomplishment.

    So glad your mobile home is still in tact. The winds off those storms is just awful I imagine. I couldn’t wait to watch your video. Already a favorite FlossTuber. Was great to see all your lovely previous finishes. I still say I’ve always admired those quilts that were not just the patches of fabric but the quilts that you do. Now I still love the patched quilts. But the ones you’ve done and gone over with us…those blow me away! They’re phenomenal. Thx so much for educating us. (Had to look up “fussy cut” - LOL.). At any rate, I can’t wait to see your next video. I mean…the berries weren’t perfectly round??? COME ON!!! They look perfectly round to me. And the painting and embroidery and the feathers! Wow! Just gorgeous!

      Jannie, Thanks so much for stopping by again. I appreciate your kind and supportive comments. There really are two kinds of quilts; those that will be used, loved, and washed many times and those that are made to be saved, savored, and enjoyed with eyes only. I make both kinds but have really moved to making show quilts. The family seems to have their fill of the first kind. I think you should be a quilt judge. See you next time. Best, K

    I'm so amazed at the details of your beautiful quilt! It must have been fun picking out all the fabric! I'm not a quilter, but I wanted to be at one point in my life, and going into fabric stores just made me smile! Your stitching is beautiful, and I love your finishing touches! Thanks for sharing. I am so glad you shared about variegated floss. It made me realize that I don't need to spend so much just because that's what the chart calls for, especially for small areas of stitching. Thanks for sharing!

They don't necessarily have a lot of snow, but removal is difficult on narrow, windy roads. Schools get closed a lot. Ice is even more likely than snow and, to my mind, that is worse than snow.

    Nice finishes. I have Cinnamon Stars, but have not chosen my fabric yet and still deciding which fancy floss ones to use and which DMC. Pretty project bags. I used the wrong shade of floss, and OMG I had to rip out 444 X's last week, my biggest frogging ever! As I stitched it I kept thinking is this right. I've learned now to Stop, and doublecheck. I restitched with correct color, so worth it, and so glad I didn't cut into my fabric!!! Awesome quilt, all the birds, love the Partridge couple & babies.

      JoAnn, Thank you so much for your sweet comment on my video. I am really appreciate your flattering words about my work. I have been sewing by hand and machine since I was quite young. I remember sitting next to my grandmother as she sewed on her machine, while she had me hand stitching four patches. I was young and they were terrible, of course, but she was keeping me busy so she could continue to sew. My mother taught me how to sew on her Singer sewing machine and to use patterns to sew clothing for my dolls and myself. I know that by the time I got to Home Ec in Jr. High, I was sewing my own clothes. I am pretty old and that was in the Stone Age, so I have been sewing a long time. Stay well. Best, K

      Barb, Most of the comments on this video are about the quilt. I am glad to hear your opinion about the border. I have never liked Prairie Points, so I left them out. I wanted what I consider to be a fancier finish on the border and sashes, so I opted for sparkly fabric. I finished this in 2019 and it went to the state fair in 2019 also. I'm always happy to be an enabler. What are you stitching? Best, K
