You are so welcome! I enjoyed visiting with you last Friday and hope to visit again soon. I am so happy that you’re so close. I wish you the best of luck. ❤️
😊 Hello! I hope your shop does well too! Years ago in the 90s I lived in North Augusta and I recall at that time there was a sweet little stitching shop in Lexington. I don't remember the name of it, but I am happy to hear there is one there again. I live further south in Georgia but would make a pilgrimage to your shop. I am in a stitching desert.
Thank you, Lori for an inspiring flosstube! I haven't done mill hill kits for several years, but this year I ordered the soccer ball for our grandson. I think I can tackle it! Our grandson has spent the last 2 plus years in treatment for lukemia. This past march he was able to ring the bell!! So soccer was so exciting for him to be with other children again. That also means that we have that special family time like you treasure so much. We play canasta and he takes turns helping each of us. I've been able to cook for them again. We feel like we missed 2 years of his life because we had to be so careful of germs. My daughter homeschooled him. But we are so thankful to God for healing him and that we can have so much time with him again. Enjoy your family and those grandbabies!
What a heartwarming story. I am so happy that your sweet grandson has rang that bell. I know that both he, and the family, is happy to have him healed and to have the ability to all join together again. God bless you all. ❤️
Always enjoy listening to you while I stitch! I like stitching one project at a time also. How fun that you husband likes to go "junking" with you. Happy stitching!
Hi Lori, I found your channel through Dena at half stitch cross stitch. I live in coastal Georgia and have been stitching off and on for decades. I came back into it about 3 years ago after a very long hiatus and have been pulled all the way back in again. The first project i completed in 2020 when i started back up was an all-black Permin sampler I had about 80% completed when I put it down in 1999. I guess they are called Quakers now but we didn't call it that back then. I have purchased some new things, but really want to complete my old projects, I'm not getting any younger and I have grandchildren now that I want to have these things. I appreciate very much listening to someone who sounds like me! Thank you for sharing your projects!
Good to see you again! Love Seaside! Flosses are pretty. Vierlande Sampler is beautiful! Floral Etchings is pretty. That's your "intuition" speaking! Lovely gift! Another wonderful flosstube. Have a great week!
Hi Lorrie! So great to catch up with you again this week! Thank you so much for the absolutely lovely shout-out! I'm really excited for our SAL in October! Big hugs and have a wonderful week! 💚
Retreats are so much fun and yours sounded wonderful!!! I have yet to attend a stitch retreat other than just for the day. Someday I plan to organize one. I organize quilting retreats 2 or 3 times a year and they are so much fun. But to stitch for 2 or 3 days would be lovely. Loved so many of your haul items. How fun!!! My goal this year was to focus on one piece to stitch but oh boy, I lost that goal in April!!! There are so many starts in my stash to work on but then something catches my eye and off the rails I go😂
I always enjoy your visit. I look forward to the stitch along. You reminded me I have that chart! I love my time with my granddaughters and cleaning up afterward. 😂✂️🧵🪡
Great flosstubes. Was in hospital about a week. I have diabetes, and my big toe got very infected. Could lose toe but hope not. Home now. Hysbandhelpig. 💙🍪🍪
lovely to hear all your news.Let me know when you start Vierlande 1816 and I will stitch along with you. I started mine and need to get back to it ! Rebecca x
Yes, I have seen that too. I don’t have new pieces myself, they are all handed down from my Grandma. I am honored to have her pieces and they are priceless for the same reason. ❤️
I so enjoy your video Lorie. Great idea with the place cards. I will be making a trip. Thank you for sharing everything it was fabulous! Have a great week!
Hello Lori! What a great idea to keep in touch with daily photos! My grandbabies are too far away.,😢But we are planning to go see them in September ❤Loved your wonderful video! Your stitching is lovely! Have a great week!
Your getaway retreat sounds perfect! Great idea to use the Santa cards for PS Santa's, I have them but haven't used them. I need to pick up the trees & pumpkins now 😅 Hugs & Stitches to you!
Thank you for such a wonderful floss tube! Your retreat sounded like so much fun too! I was sewing quilt blocks today while watching your video. On that Verlaine sampler, Jacob from modern folk embroidery did a video on that very sampler, he went into depth of the history which I found fascinating. He also made a few different charts of those motifs. I would love to stitch one of those samplers as well, it’s on my list of charts to get. :) I love your bags and floss buddies. Have a lovely week!
Glad to hear that there is an LNS in the area . I am also in s Carolina. I think we will take a road trip soon. Thank you for the info hope you have a good week.
It looks like you had a great time at your retreat. Thanks for the Hobby Lobby info. I used your Santa head floss drop idea of a little happy for my stitch group's Christmas gathering that same year. I'm going to look for the pumpkins and the trees too. They are perfect for little gifts for a group without spending too much.
Oh you little enabler, you. I don't know where I have been, but I saw Harriet Elizabeth Coe and just had to go get her...as if I have nothing else to stich. Thanks for sharing!
Your projects are always so beautiful; I love the reds in that first piece! I was able to get by The Stitchin' Kitten yesterday, and I'm so glad I did - such a cute little shop and so much to browse. I could have easily dropped quite a lot of money there, but needed to stick to my budget. Happy stitching! - TaMara
Thank you for your video. You had several come through that I didn't get notified, so just got all caught up. Enjoyed them all! Your WIPS are looking good, and always love when you go "junkin". I do the same! Take care and happy stitching!
Hi Lorri. Thank you for the video, love to stitch while watching you Tube videos. Thank you for sharing your works in progress. i love antiquing with my husband, I collect Autumn Leaf pottery by Hall's. i also have a collection of Fiesta ware in, many colors. Have a safe and happy week.
I visited the Stitchin' Kitten last week. The service was great and it was so nice to see and touch floss and fabrics. Patricia P.S. I picked up "When Pigs Fly" by Stitchy Prose.
Hi Lorrie, I have been in post offices that look like the one on the booklet you got so that you can stitch it. The post office on Mayport NAS looks like that. I have been in the Hotel del Coronado , it’s amazingly beautiful. Those two are great charts.
Go to Esty there are several project bags so many good sewers keep your project all in the bag So you pick your bag you have everything you need to do you’re whip
Lori, another great video. I love the piece you picked for your anniversary stitch. I have almost converted entirely to one strand on 32 count on up. The pieces i've chosen to do seem to be too crowded if i use 2 strands. Maybe it's just the pieces i've chosen. You have a nice variety of designs.
Roxy floss co in Canada created a new floss colour for Jacob's new chart called vierlander. Its a variegated over dye with dark brown/black. Would be fantastic for that sampler you showed. I've bought it for the modern folk embroidery one. Just a suggestion.
I stitched the first 4 pages of that Vierlande sampler, hated the fabric so much I threw the whole thing out. I need to get a new piece of fabric and restart it! Maybe Sulky black on 36 count?
Thank you for mentioning my store The Stitchin Kitten in your video!!

The small post office chart is just precious . . . .
Isn’t it! It is begging to be stitched.
Always enjoy listening to you while I stitch! I like stitching one project at a time also. How fun that you husband likes to go "junking" with you. Happy stitching!
He is my favorite Junkin partner. He hunts out all the things that he knows that I like. ❤️
Me too 😀👍🏻 one project at a time!
I’ve had the Vierlande sampler on my TBS list for a while. 😁
Maybe we should kit it up and make a start for the BAP to school SAL…

Karen, We have that weakness in common. I am usually distracted by the next shines new pattern. It’s so difficult to keep control. 😉
I always enjoy your visit. I look forward to the stitch along. You reminded me I have that chart! I love my time with my granddaughters and cleaning up afterward. 😂✂️🧵🪡
Family is everything! ❤️
Great flosstubes. Was in hospital about a week. I have diabetes, and my big toe got very infected. Could lose toe but hope not. Home now. Hysbandhelpig. 💙🍪🍪
Oh no! I am sorry that you are have my troubles. I pray that you won’t lose that toe.
With Prayers, Lorrie ❤️
Love your progress on your wips. Happy stitching!
Thank you Karin! Have a wonderful weekend!
Corning Ware last forever! I have several pieces that I received for our wedding over 52 years ago. Still looking like new & none like it.
That is awesome! I hope that my daughter gets lifetime use from hers too.
❤️
Thank you for another great episode, Lori. I love your channel!
Thank you so much!❤️

I can't wait to start Cottage Garden's Oct 31! It will much more fun to stitch along with friends.

We were down to one shop until they opened last weekend. I am so happy that they are there and wish them much success. ❤️

I'm going to look for the pumpkins and the trees too. They are perfect for little gifts for a group without spending too much.
Wonderful! They do make very sweet inexpensive gifts. And there easy to convert to floss tags.
Oh you little enabler, you. I don't know where I have been, but I saw Harriet Elizabeth Coe and just had to go get her...as if I have nothing else to stich. Thanks for sharing!
Harriet is a beautiful piece. Maybe I should order the supplies and stitch her up with you. ❤️
Nice visit 😁
Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful week. ❤️
Looks like you had a lot of fun at the retreat. I like the idea of the place cards as floss drops. Family time is always fun.
Using premade items makes punching those thread drops easy, and they make great gifts!

Hi TaMara! The shop has so much potential and room to grow. I love the stitching area.
Thank you for your video. You had several come through that I didn't get notified, so just got all caught up. Enjoyed them all! Your WIPS are looking good, and always love when you go "junkin". I do the same! Take care and happy stitching!
I am happy that you are enjoying the videos. Thanks for watching. Cross stitch is my number one hobby. Junkin is a fun side hobby. ❤️
Hi Lorri. Thank you for the video, love to stitch while watching you Tube videos. Thank you for sharing your works in progress. i love antiquing with my husband, I collect Autumn Leaf pottery by Hall's. i also have a collection of Fiesta ware in, many colors. Have a safe and happy week.
I enjoy being with Clint. He helps me hunt for those dusty treasures.
I just love seeing you back on flosstube! Great videos.
Thank you so much Joanne! ❤️
Your retreat sounded fun,love the baking dish from your grandmother,Thankyou for sharing 🇳🇿❤️🪡
Thank you Donna!
I think you should stitch 'Merry Pair' for you and your hubby. What wonderful finds you found!
Great idea! I love it! An ornament with Grammie and Pops!
I visited the Stitchin' Kitten last week. The service was great and it was so nice to see and touch floss and fabrics. Patricia
P.S. I picked up "When Pigs Fly" by Stitchy Prose.
Wonderful! It’s a great little shop, and I look forward to visiting them often.
Me too.

Like you, I love stitching with one strand. It just doesn’t give me the coverage that I want on this piece. I want a more dense looking stitches.
Roxy floss co in Canada created a new floss colour for Jacob's new chart called vierlander. Its a variegated over dye with dark brown/black. Would be fantastic for that sampler you showed. I've bought it for the modern folk embroidery one. Just a suggestion.
Thanks for the info! I will check it out.

❤️❤️❤️
I stitched the first 4 pages of that Vierlande sampler, hated the fabric so much I threw the whole thing out. I need to get a new piece of fabric and restart it! Maybe Sulky black on 36 count?
Oh wow! I hope that you enjoy your restart much better. The Sulky threads will give great coverage on 36 and 40ct fabric.
Hi. Did you get the Seas the day Myrtle Beach from a frien who attended the retreat or is it available online. I live in MB.
Yes I did. It was offered to attendees only. There was usually a commemorative piece from the designer(s) that attended each year.
Hi ❤❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful ❤️❤️ lady of smile 😁😁
