    Great tutorial! I never thought of using heat bond to seal up a seam. That is one tip I will definitely use! Thank you again for your generosity and time doing these daily videos. Your choice for your next red thread is beautiful! ❤

    Hi Lori, after watching your demo I spent the day making needle books for all my quilting and sewing friends here in our condos! I'll pass them out tomorrow! What a great last minute gift idea--or anytime! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! Hugs, Candace😊

    Thanks for another great tutorial - great inspiration for making our own! Reading the previous comments, it looks like I'm not alone appreciating your daily Vlogmas videos and sad to see them go away for another year. You have put so much of yourself into making these. A huge thank you!

    Another great tutorial.
    I think I'm going to have "Lori withdrawal" after your daily Vlogmas videos are over. They're such a great way to start my day.

    What a great tutorial, I may be able to make a few this week. I just love needle books for each project I am working on. Oh the possibilities for the front of the book. You mentioned sewing at such an early age, sadly I was the tomboy climbing trees to pick apples for my Grandmother to make pies or playing baseball with the guys. Luckily my SIL and her husband gave me a sewing machine for a wedding present . Been hooked ever since. 🥰☃️🎄🪡🧵❄️🎅

      I wasn’t a Tom boy, but I climbed plenty of trees and picked apples. Fished too as soon as I was big enough to hold a pole! Have fun making your needle books!

    Hi Lori,
    The needle books are so cute!!!
    I thought of another movie that I liked "A Gift Wrapped Christmas" with Meredith Hagner, its not new but I like it enough to watch it every year, much like the movie you watch every Christmas called "Snow".

    🌲🪡🌲🪡🌲🪡🌲🪡🌲Very fun tutorial!! I make a lot of needle books mostly for my 3 daughters and I really enjoyed your take with the side pockets. Funny.. that book has been on my list on Amazon for months - today it jumped $4! You are definitely an influencer!! I’ll miss your daily videos after Christmas but have much more to look forward to next Christmas (fingers crossed). Thank you Lori for putting in the time and effort and making our Christmas that much more fun!

    @sdcrilly 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thank you for the great needlebook tutorial. I like all the various ways that they can be done. I will have to work some of those up. For a few months now I have been working on a "One green thread a day", (where you go red, I go green) and I have gotten very far on it thanks to your inspiration. It is a gorgeous alphabet Noel sampler called "Un air d'autrefois" and it is in my Best of Renato Parolin book. I dyed the fabric green and am using DMC 500 for the lettering. Of course it would be beautiful in red too. Today I searched and found my Thimbleberries Lakeside quilt pattern that is a little different than yours, but still beautiful. I was so excited about it last night that I could hardly sleep and super happy that I found it today!

  • @patwiggers7872
    @patwiggers7872 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I don't have any needle books but with your tutorial I think I could sew a few up now on my own. This summer if I get to any yard sales, I'll be looking for some wool felt pieces for sure. Thank you for making it look so easy. The new Red stitch pattern is going to beautiful. Bet you are looking forward to starting it. Miss seeing the kitties the last couple days. 😔 Already missing these daily videos, I'm sure I'll be going back and watching them again along with the ones from last year. See you tomorrow! 😻😻

    Thanks Lori, so many designs for the needle book that can become a great little stocking stuffer or gift. Love the idea of a little 1-2 "needle point design. Will have to look for that book. ❤ will miss your Vlogmas, but I know how time consuming they can be especially at this time of year.🥰🎄

    Great demo Lori! I meant to comment on the last vlogmas about all your hobbies. I too find it a fascinating, slippery slope. One thing leads to another and then another. It doesn’t seem to matter where you start it all just calls to you. I would love to hear about your wheel. I just brought home an antique Canadian Production Wheel (CPW) and am really looking forward to spinning on her. Happy crafting, and Merry Christmas!

    Great needlebook demo! Makes me want to use some mini quilt squares in my stash. I have Veroniques Christmas book too. I probably saw it in your video last year. The charts are simply enchanting. I would need to get them enlarged to stitch, however. Lots of color changes in tiny designs. I just love looking at all the precious pieces!

    Thank you for the needle book demo. I’ve been wanting to make one of the needle books from one of the Kathy Schmitz books. It doesn’t have to be intimidating.
    I like that you do the designer spotlights. It gives us a chance to see someone’s work that we may not be familiar with. Veronique’s designs are very sweet.

Loraine from Sew on Wednesday has a few of the books from the designer you spotlighted. She has done several adorable little projects that you may enjoy seeing if you haven’t already. Happy crafting!

    Thank you so much for your needlebook tutorial, Lori. It was really great and very well explained. I'm looking forward to making some little needlebooks for my granddaughters as I'm teaching them how to stitch and sew. My sewing machine has not been working for a couple of years now and I really miss it, hopefully I can get it fixed soon. You inspired me that I can still make a few needlebooks by hand without the machine. Thank you so much for your lovely vlogmas videos, I've enjoyed them very much throughout this Christmas prep season.
