Good morning. I love what you create. This might be long, but I pray you read it to the end. I heard you say several times, you're doing this for you guys. It's good you want to encourage creativity, but everything we do must be done unto the Lord. I lived so many years trying to please others and literally got no joy out of the wonderful talents that God blessed me with such as quilting, doll making, cross-stitch, clothing, etc. Once I stopped and realized no matter how much time and energy I put into these things, I was not giving God full glory for it all. So now as you said, I slowed down and I thank Him for every piece of fabric, thread,lace etc. And now I'm peaceful because the finished piece is not to hear someone say "oh that's cute", but to hear Him say well done, thy good and faithful servant, before I meet (I'm believing)Him face to face. Treat it like the ministry it is. Don't overcompensate for what's not there. Be joyful, be happy and be at peace knowing that as long as He's happy, you should be. Be Blessed and I'm glad Resurrection Sunday was about Jesus and not the rabbit.
I was so happy to see another video from you. I feel like I'm visiting with an old friend. we have so much in common, mostly our love for Jesus. Thank you for sharing scripture and for being real. I wish we lived closer. God bless you in all you do. ❤
I love your videos because you are so real, normal and human..and with a deep spirituality which is beautiful. Keep the faith, for you are loved on here.
Thank you so much for your encouragement!!! I hadn't checked my comments for a while and yours was one I read that inspired me to get a quilting video done yesterday. I appreciate you!
Praise God that he's given you the desire and grace to share your faith on flosstube. You've brightened my day and encouraged me greatly. It's also so refreshing to hear you talk about using what you have. There are flosstubers that I really like but the long parade of new purchases can be a turn-off. Thank you for speaking to this. Prayers and best wishes for you! (Edited to add: But don't get me wrong, when I watch those parades I want to go shopping - there are so many beautiful things. It can be a struggle!)
I stayed to the end and sharing my faith was a huge reason for starting my flosstube channel too. I wanted to also be able to brighten someone’s day or share ways that we can show kindness in our very broken world.🤗 I really love your passion for all things crafty and prim. As you are saying no spend April, I’m searching Hobby Lobby for the wooden boxes you were showing. You put my thoughts into words when you were talking about wanting to do all the things and working ourselves into a buying frenzy. Keep reminding me to slow down, 1 thing at a time! That verse was one that brought my husband so much comfort on his journey with ALS. He used it often when witnessing. btw - I definitely stitch to hide my crazy. Thanks for being a light. Hugs and blessings on your coming week, from a sister in Christ.
Hi, new to your channel. Wanted to give you a hint. hobby lobby is putting new things on shelves all the time, and they are not repricing the older things at new prices so you might sift thru the things you want before buying the first item on the shelf. I got a sign that was marked almost $9 for about $5 after going thru the same item on the shelf. I know this wont last forever, but it has helped some people. I am loving your channel. Prim has a big place in my heart!!!💗💗💗
Thank you for the verses. God’s word is so powerful, comforting and most of all the truth. Love your creative give God has given you and your willingness to share that and His word.
Keep on spreading the love of Christ. When I did floss tube I did the same thing. This world is getting so crazy! I unlisted my videos . I started it mainly to share with my 18 grands and give them scripture from the Bible . I shared it with the world for a couple of years. I’ve had one of my accounts hacked and decided to get out and share less on social media. Thanks for sharing with us today. God Bless
Hi Bonnie , my Mom was a Bonnie. Just seeing your videos. This is 2nd one, God created us ,& made us to be creative in good ways. Love your primitives style. I'm more into bright colors for me. But , I Love that you are sharing scriptures and your faith with us. Keep on doing that .May God richly Bless you , & do stop & walk with your husband . Its ok to just" Be " & not Do , sometimes.
Thank you for your sweet words of encouragement and love!! Balance is so hard sometimes!! Last week we had a wonderful adventure date to a local resort town we had never been to. We ended up walking miles along a beautiful river in the rain and enjoying the delights of nature.
@@logcabinstitcher7274 That sounds wonderful! Glad to hear you did that. My husband went to heaven 18 yrs. Ago , I miss his company but someday we will be together again. Love is forever !
So happy to see you back. My heart went out to you before you stopped doing floss tube, because I felt you were in a troubled place. Now you are back and in a better place. Now I understand you were dealing with a lot of things. I love your devotion to our Lord. Met a homeless lady in our church parking lot last week and my prayer is that if God has a mission for me to help her, please place her in my path again and guide me. God bless 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for sharing your faith. Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities on social media. I look forward to more as you feel fit and comfortable.🙏🏻.
I think I enjoy you so much because I see a lot of myself in you…so much to share, with wheels turning faster than I can get them out! But you are way more talented and artistic! Also, I love that you aren’t afraid to share your trials and errors and how you trust God through them! Thank you for sharing sweet scripture this Resurrection Sunday! ❤❤❤❤
Oh, Bonnie , I just love you you’re so real. I am also a primitive stitcher lover and copy Kristy and Daisy Kays and Shanda at stitching in Idaho Every chance I get. So very thankful that you are back doing floss tubes again! 💞
Where to start as a brand-new subscriber. First, I must say that we had to be separated at birth, I know that's not possible, but we share so many of the same ideas, it's amazing the similarities we share. I would love to have a seat in your sewing room. I retired about 2.5 years ago and I absolutely love it. I tell people that I have so many things I want to do, things to learn, to watch that I hate to go to bed but sleep always wins out. I'm an avid cross stitcher after returning from a 20-year hiatus. There is Etsy, I don't have a brick-and-mortar store other than Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Joann's so I have to get most things online. Thankful that I can buy patterns as PDF's. There's TH-cam, there are so many amazing people that share and teach and I'm grateful for people like you that share your time with us all. So, THANK YOU! I to don't have enough patterns and projects so I'm learning the art of punch needle and wool applique. I'm loving these primitive arts so there are never enough hours in the day. I just found Rhonda's shop and had to get her Spring has Sprung Pin keeps. Like most of us I really don't need one more pattern, but they are quick little stitches. I had to go find your old video on the sewing boxes. I'm always looking for fun projects to share with those few in my life that would truly appreciate them. But I love these so these will be added onto my very long to-do list. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and your time. I have a lot of old videos to catch up on. Sorry for the length of this comment but I just had to let you know how much I enjoy everything you share. Pamela A/PA
I'm so glad that you're doing floss tube again 😊. Enjoy your enthusiasm for stitching and Christ. Want to thank you for mentioning Pastor Jack Hibbs years ago. I have watched his services on y tube and quite like them.
You are the reason, I do this. Your love of so many crafts are amazing. You are so talented and you bring basketful of joy and pleasure. Please continue to do this. I wish I lived next door to you as I have no one to stitch with that is why I need you. We are so much alike in so many ways. Just trying to do everything!! Thank you!!!
My bff gave me a guide so one could read the Bible in a year. I am on week 14 and look forward to each day of reading. Yes the world is crazy and I turn to my stitching for some peace. I’m slow stitching a quilt, cross stitching and knitting a sweater. I’m doing the Floss Bossin Cousins Heifer Board and it’s helping me to accomplish projects. Love your floss tube, your spiritual inspiration and I love you
I immediately went and got a copy of New Morning Mercies. Wow. It is so amazing. Yesterday I finished 90-Day Challenge of reading the entire Bible. I learned so much. I remembered so much. And I have so much more to learn. So thankful you are here. Please don't stop. The fellowship is why I am here with you. The stitching is nice, but the time is precious.
Bonnie you are a blessing! Thank you for talking about your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. I love Hack Hibbs. Thank you too for being transparent. Thank you for sharing scripture. In Our Savior Who Shepherds Our Way, Beri from Maine Beri from Maine
It is so exciting to see the prim stitching community growing. I follow all the stitchers/designers that you mentioned. I also buy charts from The Humble Stitcher on ETSY. Another favorite for me are the Prairie Schooler Santas. I am working on a Prim Christmas Tree for this year. Yes, I do like to select just the right fabric for my finishes. So happy to have you back. Looking forward so seeing your creations.
Bonnie I am going to do no spend April with you!!! Another super wonderful video. The charm packs were a great tip. I am your new stitchy friend and your sister in Christ. You do bring joy and happiness to so many. This is a wonderful ministry and please continue making your videos. You are spreading the word and your videos are making alot of people's day! Not to change the subject, but a tip. I get alot of cigar boxes at cigar shops and they are super cheap and come in all different sizes.
Hi Bonnie I love all your things you showed today. I have a lot of projects and sometimes I get all messed up about what to work on. There will never be enough time left for me to do what I want to do. I love your prayer time at the end. It should give us all a lot to think about. I am so glad Jesus loves me and I have him in my heart. Love you Bonnie
Sooo happy to see you again!!! You have such a great idea using cotton from medicine bottles, well, I bought two bags of cotton balls at the grocery store, pulled apart each ball and stuffed a small pillow and it came out perfect!! So thrilled, it’s nice and flat. All the boxes, stitching etc etc just wonderful!! We are commanded to tell the truth, talk your faith, it’s all we have. The world is dark and evil and we are the light shining on the hill. I’m very blessed to know you.
Hi Bonnie. I just found you, did not see you “before.” I love your floss tube, love your stitching, really feel a connection and will continue to watch. So thank you! I will say I am not religious at all and am ok with that. I support your right to be so and am happy for you in your beliefs, so it does not bother me. I may not watch to the end however please continue to welcome me into your home. You are a delight. Happy Stitching!
Catherine, I'm so glad to have you as a treasured part of my stitching family!! I appreciate you spending time with me and love that you are comfortable with my beliefs and my stitching. I appreciate your encouragement and support!!!
I do not usually comment on flosstube, but will today. I enjoy your videos and will watch every one that you do. Your projects, thoughts, and devotions speak to me at multiple levels. I am interested in seeing any of your projects and hearing the words God puts in your heart and mind.
You make me so happy in the crazy world we have right now. So scary! They are taking GOD out of so many things. 😢 I am a very slow stitcher just like you. Love all your beautiful stitching. Never change and will be waiting for your next flosstube. ❤🫂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️
I love seeing all your prim goodies! I have social anxiety too. I loved your devotional, so glad you are doing them. And my kids love Resurrection Rolls! We make them every Easter. 😊
I love your videos, Bonnie and that you share your faith with us. You are a beautiful soul and I enjoy listening to you. I am a new subscriber and I am so glad I found you on TH-cam. Now I can go back and watch all of your videos. I also have alot of crafty interests and the prim designs are my favorite. Thank-you for sharing. Pam Miller in Alabama♥
Love that you share Jesus with us! Our Lord and Savior 🥰 love you videos! God bless you! I’m like you wanting to do soooo many things! 😊 it’s only recently my mind started racing like yours. I’m trying to figure it out too. I just keep saying one thing at a time! Focus and meditate and reading a daily word devotion helps me! Hugs! 💕
I'm glad you shared your go-to fabric designers, which are the same as mine. I am making my first civil war quilt and having a hard time finding fabrics without flowers. (so many flowers!) I love the warm colors in your quilt collection.
I am going to follow in suit with a no buy April. I also quilt & cross stitch and have so much happiness already kitted in my closet. Thanks for the inspiration!
I may sound like a broken record, but thank you so much for starting your flosstube again. I just found your channel and it's a breath of fresh air. I am wanting to do more prim stitching and you are helping to encourage me in that direction. I so appreciate your honesty about your vulnerabilities. I have many too and it's so nice to know I'm not alone. I love your boldness in your Faith. My faith in Jesus is in my core and it's so great to find like-minded stitchers. You are adding so much to our lives and I hope we can add equally to yours ❤❤
In so glad you’re back doing floss tube. I can relate to the overwhelm with all my interests with needle and thread; wool appliqué, cross stitch, quilts by machine, English paper piecing, needle punch, embroidery; but I love it all. Thank you for sharing the Bible verses and godly encouragement.❤
We don't want to lose you again. Stay calm and just do your video when you feel like it. No pressure. Love all your projects. I also started watching k3n this past week. Have a wonderful Easter!
Love that you are back. I also love primitve stuff. Your sharing of faith at end is a ministry that God has given you to share with a world that needs to hear the love of God. I hope you have found a church and pastor that you love like your CA one. Blessings to you and please keep doing these
Bonnie you are so much fun and scattered like me. I jump from one thing to another. My head has so much it wants to do. I love you so much. There just isn’t enough time in the day to get all the fun ideas done. But I have learned so much from you and your ideas. I love your boxes. And your stitching is so beautiful. You are a delight to watch.
Hi Bonnie, Happy Easter! Another wonderful video filled with so much inspiration. I love the prim stitches, and cant wait to try out the Briwax. That Napa Red is one of my favorites with painting and I love the look the wax gives it. Keep doing what you do, at your own pace. Your genuine nature is so refreshing. Enjoy your day and see you when you return! ♥🪡
Great video today..I too sometimes get overwhelmed and want to do so many things. The idea of no buy April inspired me because everytime I see something new I want to buy it! I did like your explanatiion of paints and waxes. You were very inspiring today. Happy Easter
I am glad you are back. You are very welcoming with your videos. Your stitching is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your faith. Our faith should always be first in our lives and I am happy you share your. May God bless you and your family.
I am fairly new to flosstube and have watched your recent videos. I so enjoy them from your style, ideas on using what you have and sharing your faith. I will look forward to your future videos and plan on finding your previous ones. Happy Easter, He it's Risen indeed.
Hi Bonnie. I know what you mean about wanting to do all of the things. I do so, so many different crafts and art, as well. It can get overwhelming. I will work on many things and then, I have to step back and focus on just 1 or 2 until completion. I also, try to not buy. I have enough things to last me many years. It is hard, though and every once in awhile I just need a little something. Briwax does come in clear. Also, I stitched Token of Love this year. It is a pretty one. Made a pillow backed with a piece of red velvet from Blackberry Primitives. I iron my pillows flat, as well, using a lot of steam. Anyway, I love your boxes. I hope you had a lovely resurrection Sunday. We did. It is so important to find a good church, happy to hear that you did. Until next time.
I'm so glad that I found you! I took have social anxiety and tend to isolate. You are doing great and I really like your style! Premative is my favorite too, the older, the better. Life sure can throw some curve balls and people never fail to disappoint but God is always my constant. Be Blessed and Thank You for being a light in the world 🌍🌎🌍🌎!!! Happy Stitching, Kari
You are such a visual creative friend. You are inspired by what you see and the creative gift just flows out-of you! Such a gift! I understand about the need to reign it in, though, and do my best to start, and completely finish just a few projects at a time. But I knit, paper craft, cross stitch, quilt and garden...all good things! I don't understand people who are bored! I always have more than I can possibly accomplish in a day on my to do list! Thank you for sharing yourcideas, and ask God to clarify your goals to help you stay on task. I find I pray and create a lot...He is the great Creator and knows what we need best of all! Blessings and prayers...
I’m so happy that I found you, we like the same things. I love old wood and antiques. I quilt I stitch and I’m getting ideas together for boxes. I do have two cigar boxes that I have been playing around with.
I have been trying to use my stash or finish what projects I have not finished . Thank you for another great video especially your tutorials on your boxes. Shipping costs has stopped me from ordering stuff so again I go to my stash but unfortunately I am just starting my floss supplies. I haven’t gotten all fancy with floss drops. Yours are so cute. Too bad I am unable to get the tree chart from Drawn Threads. 😕 thank you for sharing your testimony. You bless me so much.❤️ that comment you made “I stitch to hide my crazy.” That describes me so well. Amen! Jesus Christ is my living hope. Onward and upward to our destination.
I'm always happy to see a video from you pop up. I have to say I can relate with a spinning brain and wanting to make everything and can't move fast enough! I literally tell myself to focus and try to finish a task before starting another. Of course that doesn't apply to stitching and quilting. 😅😅
I absolutely love watching your TH-cam’s! Listening to you ramble on about whatever craft you are doing gives me so much joy and when I see that you have posted a new video, oh happy day. I have severe social anxiety and totally understand that. Please continue to do what you do. You are so appreciated! The devotional at the end is my favorite part. ❤
So glad I found you on TH-cam a few weeks ago. You lift my spirits as I have been dealing with similar issues for two years. Keep the faith and continue to spread the good news!!
So glas you are back. I really enjoy each the types of crafts you do especially primitive. Items, BUT now my favorite part is when you ur faith,!!!! I hope you never leave flosstube channel again. Blessings to you
Hi Bonnie, it makes my heart so happy when I see that you've posted another video. I know that I will not only see your beautiful projects but that I will also encouraged and uplifted in my faith. Thank you, as always for being you! Have a blessed Easter.❤
I am doing much the same. Trying to slow down and pare down what I'm doing. It is difficult because I am a collector. I am making headway. Keep going and Happy Resurrection Day.
I love your willingness to be honest. When I want to do “It All” I set appointments and timers. Example: If I were inclined, I would do my meditation roll after I read my Bible for 30 minutes. I would meditate on what I just read. When you do your next floss tube, I will watch it! Joy, nevertheless!
Oh Bonnie! I agree with the "crazy brain" ....I have that too! Too many ideas going on at the same time. My craft room is full of piles ....this fabric for this quilt. This frame for that cross stitch but it has to be painted first. And these skeins of yarn for that shawl.....on and on and on. Yikes.....time to slow down is right. Love your little boxes.... thanks for sharing.....glad you're back.❤
When I want something prim and what I have is more bright that’s the time to play with coffee tea dye and even rite dye. Taking a small piece and see what the results are until it’s what I want. You have lots of ideas that are helpful to us. Thank you
Bonnie, you are of the same mindset as me. Thank you for inspiring me to use what I’ve got. I too have so many crafts that i enjoy. Im so thankful that thou we are miles away I can visit with you. Blessings to you and your family for a wonderful Easter..❤
I like the same designers as you. Check out Lori Rippey. Tip on getting labels off the boxes. Heat it up first with a hair dryer, and it will come right off. Thanks so much for sharing your faith, and some scriptures with us. I need those reminders. One of my subscribers just emailed me, and told me to watch your channel, while I was watching your channel. :) I'm a prim gal also, and love everything you do. Rhonda and I were talking about the boxes. I may pick one up at Hobby Lobby, and give it a try. I'm thinking that it would make a great exchange gift, if it's not too big. Blessings to you! I'm so glad that I found you. We need more of us prim flosstubers!
So happy to see you again…I love all the things as always..you are certainly one of my friends and the things that you share,are meaningful to me and we definitely share the same likes…. Thank you so much for sharing…..
Pamela, I really appreciate your dear words of encouragement and support! I'm glad to be able to share in this community and I love knowing it means so much to you.
I am fairly new to Floss Tube and recently discovered your channel. I absolutely love you and your videos. Thank you for returning to Floss Tube!! I too am a prim stitcher and your colors are my colors. My Mom also loved purple. I do mostly smalls but love samplers also. I use all DMC. I love their rich colors and they coffee stain well and don't bleed plus I have easier access to DMC. I have an antique jar that I put my scraps of floss in.You are so sweet and inspirational and I love your faith. Please continue to make videos to keep us all inspired. Have a Blessed Easter!!!
Mary, thank you for missing me and your sweet words!! I posted a new quilting video yesterday. Now that the weather is warm, we've been out adventuring and just sitting on the patio enjoying my container garden for this short growing season in Colorado.
Just some quick thoughts.... Try stuffing the pillows with wool roving. Like what you use for needle felting but if you buy it from a spinning shop undyed it is cheaper. A pound would do several at least. The reasoning is you xan then press them after stuffing They will stay at that thickness. You will also get closer to that cotton fluff feel you like compared to Polyfill, I mean when you run out of Poly. I'm a spinner too so do this. Love the effect. You were a woodworker. Thrift some frames and cut them down to fit. Paint, stain, wax them right into your style. Easy with the skills you already have.
Your finish of Auld Lange Syne was so pretty I just had to print that chart for myself! When you were talking about frames, this is what I normally do. I only stitch on aida, so I determine the actual stitching size, then cut paper to the exact sizes. When I'm thrifting I take those with me to see if I can find a frame, then will stitch on the appropriate count aida. I hope you understand this!
Love your conversation subjects! I am more of a quilter and crafts. And your sharing your life and love of spreading our need of knowing Christ and following him! Your right the world needs Christ now than ever. It is getting crazy out there! Praising God every day here in Oklahoma!
Thank You so much for sharing yourself & your super lovely creations & also how you talk to God! I truly Love it. My hope is you can keep sharing!!! ❤😊. THANK YOU!❤
I didn't give you a welcome back message until now. Do you feel your new town shares more of your values than living in CA? We're a homeschooling Christian family that moved to a state in the Bible belt, fully expecting like minded Christians. So wrong! Anyway, I love your exuberance in sharing your projects. Jeannie and Leigh Ann of The Loose Thread Stitchers play with quilting, wool, and cross stitch. LeeAnn stitches prim and loves Civil War fabric, whereas Jeannie favors brighter colors. They're fun. And Doreen of Privies and Prims is probably right up your alley, she talks about Asburies Echoes. Happy Resurrection Sunday!
We left a more conservative town in California (Rancho Cucamonga), but here on the Western Slope of Colorado is definitely more conservative and I run into so many believers and people who share my values. It's very different from Denver or Front Range area of Colorado. There has been talk of wanting to separate into two different states from what I have heard. I don't like new things or situations, so we decided to move here because I was so familiar with the town and the people because my parents had moved here in 1995 and I had been coming out here several times a year in the last 10 years. During 2020 there was so much less hysteria and much more freedom than we had in CA. Colorado has a governor that we don't appreciate and this state often follows CA, so I don't know what the future holds, but the people here value freedom and love America. Thank you for suggesting the flosstubes. I do love Doreen of PriviesandPrims and I've been catching up on her since I got back into FlossTube and I'll check out The Loose Thread Stitchers. I need to get back into my wool applique and do a few projects.
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Colorado is beautiful. If it weren't for the politics, I think we would look at it as a possibility for states to move to. We still think of moving back to Alaska most days. Parts of CA are beautiful, too, but absolutely way too many people and way too expensive, plus politics makes it a big no. I'm happy you're settled in a place you're familiar with and happy in, too.
@@logcabinstitcher7274I love all of your videos so much. I’m glad you found a conservative area to live. We are in Utah and had cancelled our retirement travel plans to CO because of the pro abortion policies, up to birth!
My grace is sufficient...
This has saved me over and over when I really needed it.🙏
Isn’t it wonderful to know we have a good Heavenly Father to trust! I was just talking to a friend about that today.
Good morning. I love what you create. This might be long, but I pray you read it to the end. I heard you say several times, you're doing this for you guys. It's good you want to encourage creativity, but everything we do must be done unto the Lord. I lived so many years trying to please others and literally got no joy out of the wonderful talents that God blessed me with such as quilting, doll making, cross-stitch, clothing, etc. Once I stopped and realized no matter how much time and energy I put into these things, I was not giving God full glory for it all. So now as you said, I slowed down and I thank Him for every piece of fabric, thread,lace etc. And now I'm peaceful because the finished piece is not to hear someone say "oh that's cute", but to hear Him say well done, thy good and faithful servant, before I meet (I'm believing)Him face to face. Treat it like the ministry it is. Don't overcompensate for what's not there. Be joyful, be happy and be at peace knowing that as long as He's happy, you should be. Be Blessed and I'm glad Resurrection Sunday was about Jesus and not the rabbit.
Thank you for not being ashamed of the gospel of Christ!! I appreciate you sharing the blessed hope and scriptures to help and encourage others ❤
I was so happy to see another video from you. I feel like I'm visiting with an old friend. we have so much in common, mostly our love for Jesus. Thank you for sharing scripture and for being real. I wish we lived closer. God bless you in all you do. ❤
I love your videos because you are so real, normal and human..and with a deep spirituality which is beautiful. Keep the faith, for you are loved on here.
Thank you so much for your encouragement!!! I hadn't checked my comments for a while and yours was one I read that inspired me to get a quilting video done yesterday. I appreciate you!

Thank you for sharing your faith. Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities on social media. I look forward to more as you feel fit and comfortable.🙏🏻.
Thank you for another great flosstube. You are very talented with great ideas to achieve the primitive look. Looking forward to your next one.
I think I enjoy you so much because I see a lot of myself in you…so much to share, with wheels turning faster than I can get them out! But you are way more talented and artistic! Also, I love that you aren’t afraid to share your trials and errors and how you trust God through them! Thank you for sharing sweet scripture this Resurrection Sunday! ❤❤❤❤
I am drawn to the same fabric designers as you although it is very hard to find locally for me. Thanks for sharing the Bible verses; so encouraging.
Bonnie, we miss you and hope that you are well. Always looking at your channel for a new Flosstube.
Oh, Bonnie , I just love you you’re so real. I am also a primitive stitcher lover and copy Kristy and Daisy Kays and Shanda at stitching in Idaho Every chance I get. So very thankful that you are back doing floss tubes again! 💞
Where to start as a brand-new subscriber. First, I must say that we had to be separated at birth, I know that's not possible, but we share so many of the same ideas, it's amazing the similarities we share. I would love to have a seat in your sewing room. I retired about 2.5 years ago and I absolutely love it. I tell people that I have so many things I want to do, things to learn, to watch that I hate to go to bed but sleep always wins out. I'm an avid cross stitcher after returning from a 20-year hiatus. There is Etsy, I don't have a brick-and-mortar store other than Michaels, Hobby Lobby or Joann's so I have to get most things online. Thankful that I can buy patterns as PDF's. There's TH-cam, there are so many amazing people that share and teach and I'm grateful for people like you that share your time with us all. So, THANK YOU! I to don't have enough patterns and projects so I'm learning the art of punch needle and wool applique. I'm loving these primitive arts so there are never enough hours in the day. I just found Rhonda's shop and had to get her Spring has Sprung Pin keeps. Like most of us I really don't need one more pattern, but they are quick little stitches. I had to go find your old video on the sewing boxes. I'm always looking for fun projects to share with those few in my life that would truly appreciate them. But I love these so these will be added onto my very long to-do list. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and your time. I have a lot of old videos to catch up on. Sorry for the length of this comment but I just had to let you know how much I enjoy everything you share. Pamela A/PA
I'm so glad that you're doing floss tube again 😊. Enjoy your enthusiasm for stitching and Christ. Want to thank you for mentioning Pastor Jack Hibbs years ago. I have watched his services on y tube and quite like them.
You are the reason, I do this. Your love of so many crafts are amazing. You are so talented and you bring basketful of joy and pleasure. Please continue to do this. I wish I lived next door to you as I have no one to stitch with that is why I need you. We are so much alike in so many ways. Just trying to do everything!! Thank you!!!
My bff gave me a guide so one could read the Bible in a year. I am on week 14 and look forward to each day of reading. Yes the world is crazy and I turn to my stitching for some peace. I’m slow stitching a quilt, cross stitching and knitting a sweater. I’m doing the Floss Bossin Cousins Heifer Board and it’s helping me to accomplish projects. Love your floss tube, your spiritual inspiration and I love you
It always feels like a visit from a friend when watching you. Thank you for sharing God's word in your videos. Your projects are also inspiring.
I immediately went and got a copy of New Morning Mercies. Wow. It is so amazing. Yesterday I finished 90-Day Challenge of reading the entire Bible. I learned so much. I remembered so much. And I have so much more to learn. So thankful you are here. Please don't stop. The fellowship is why I am here with you. The stitching is nice, but the time is precious.
Bonnie you are a blessing! Thank you for talking about your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. I love Hack Hibbs. Thank you too for being transparent. Thank you for sharing scripture. In Our Savior Who Shepherds Our Way,

Thank you for sharing all your crafts! You do beautiful work! Again thank you!
It is so exciting to see the prim stitching community growing. I follow all the stitchers/designers that you mentioned. I also buy charts from The Humble Stitcher on ETSY. Another favorite for me are the Prairie Schooler Santas. I am working on a Prim Christmas Tree for this year. Yes, I do like to select just the right fabric for my finishes. So happy to have you back. Looking forward so seeing your creations.
Bonnie I am going to do no spend April with you!!! Another super wonderful video. The charm packs were a great tip. I am your new stitchy friend and your sister in Christ. You do bring joy and happiness to so many. This is a wonderful ministry and please continue making your videos. You are spreading the word and your videos are making alot of people's day! Not to change the subject, but a tip. I get alot of cigar boxes at cigar shops and they are super cheap and come in all different sizes.
Hi Bonnie I love all your things you showed today. I have a lot of projects and sometimes I get all messed up about what to work on. There will never be enough time left for me to do what I want to do. I love your prayer time at the end. It should give us all a lot to think about. I am so glad Jesus loves me and I have him in my heart. Love you Bonnie
Sooo happy to see you again!!! You have such a great idea using cotton from medicine bottles, well, I bought two bags of cotton balls at the grocery store, pulled apart each ball and stuffed a small pillow and it came out perfect!! So thrilled, it’s nice and flat. All the boxes, stitching etc etc just wonderful!! We are commanded to tell the truth, talk your faith, it’s all we have. The world is dark and evil and we are the light shining on the hill. I’m very blessed to know you.
Hi Bonnie. I just found you, did not see you “before.” I love your floss tube, love your stitching, really feel a connection and will continue to watch. So thank you! I will say I am not religious at all and am ok with that. I support your right to be so and am happy for you in your beliefs, so it does not bother me. I may not watch to the end however please continue to welcome me into your home. You are a delight. Happy Stitching!
Catherine, I'm so glad to have you as a treasured part of my stitching family!! I appreciate you spending time with me and love that you are comfortable with my beliefs and my stitching. I appreciate your encouragement and support!!!
I do not usually comment on flosstube, but will today. I enjoy your videos and will watch every one that you do. Your projects, thoughts, and devotions speak to me at multiple levels. I am interested in seeing any of your projects and hearing the words God puts in your heart and mind.
You make me so happy in the crazy world we have right now. So scary! They are taking GOD out of so many things. 😢 I am a very slow stitcher just like you. Love all your beautiful stitching. Never change and will be waiting for your next flosstube. ❤🫂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼✝️
Love your devotional! And your stitching!
I love seeing all your prim goodies! I have social anxiety too. I loved your devotional, so glad you are doing them. And my kids love Resurrection Rolls! We make them every Easter. 😊
You are such a beautiful and gracious stitchy friend 💕 Thank you for sharing your stitching and Jesus with us!
I love your videos, Bonnie and that you share your faith with us. You are a beautiful soul and I enjoy listening to you. I am a new subscriber and I am so glad I found you on TH-cam. Now I can go back and watch all of your videos. I also have alot of crafty interests and the prim designs are my favorite. Thank-you for sharing. Pam Miller in Alabama♥
Love that you share Jesus with us! Our Lord and Savior 🥰 love you videos! God bless you! I’m like you wanting to do soooo many things! 😊 it’s only recently my mind started racing like yours. I’m trying to figure it out too. I just keep saying one thing at a time! Focus and meditate and reading a daily word devotion helps me! Hugs! 💕
Hi Bonnie, I checked out all your comments 🥰 I agree with everyone. 🥰 I pray many more will find you at just the right time like I did. ✝✝✝✝🙏Laura🥰
I enjoy your videos so much especially the end of your sharing 💕
I'm glad you shared your go-to fabric designers, which are the same as mine. I am making my first civil war quilt and having a hard time finding fabrics without flowers. (so many flowers!) I love the warm colors in your quilt collection.
I am going to follow in suit with a no buy April. I also quilt & cross stitch and have so much happiness already kitted in my closet. Thanks for the inspiration!
I may sound like a broken record, but thank you so much for starting your flosstube again. I just found your channel and it's a breath of fresh air. I am wanting to do more prim stitching and you are helping to encourage me in that direction. I so appreciate your honesty about your vulnerabilities. I have many too and it's so nice to know I'm not alone. I love your boldness in your Faith. My faith in Jesus is in my core and it's so great to find like-minded stitchers. You are adding so much to our lives and I hope we can add equally to yours ❤❤
In so glad you’re back doing floss tube. I can relate to the overwhelm with all my interests with needle and thread; wool appliqué, cross stitch, quilts by machine, English paper piecing, needle punch, embroidery; but I love it all. Thank you for sharing the Bible verses and godly encouragement.❤
We don't want to lose you again. Stay calm and just do your video when you feel like it. No pressure. Love all your projects. I also started watching k3n this past week. Have a wonderful Easter!
Love that you are back. I also love primitve stuff. Your sharing of faith at end is a ministry that God has given you to share with a world that needs to hear the love of God. I hope you have found a church and pastor that you love like your CA one. Blessings to you and please keep doing these
Bonnie you are so much fun and scattered like me. I jump from one thing to another. My head has so much it wants to do. I love you so much. There just isn’t enough time in the day to get all the fun ideas done. But I have learned so much from you and your ideas. I love your boxes. And your stitching is so beautiful. You are a delight to watch.
Hi Bonnie, Happy Easter! Another wonderful video filled with so much inspiration. I love the prim stitches, and cant wait to try out the Briwax. That Napa Red is one of my favorites with painting and I love the look the wax gives it. Keep doing what you do, at your own pace. Your genuine nature is so refreshing. Enjoy your day and see you when you return! ♥🪡
Great video today..I too sometimes get overwhelmed and want to do so many things. The idea of no buy April inspired me because everytime I see something new I want to buy it! I did like your explanatiion of paints and waxes. You were very inspiring today. Happy Easter
I am glad you are back. You are very welcoming with your videos. Your stitching is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your faith. Our faith should always be first in our lives and I am happy you share your. May God bless you and your family.
I am fairly new to flosstube and have watched your recent videos. I so enjoy them from your style, ideas on using what you have and sharing your faith. I will look forward to your future videos and plan on finding your previous ones. Happy Easter, He it's Risen indeed.
Hi Bonnie. I know what you mean about wanting to do all of the things. I do so, so many different crafts and art, as well. It can get overwhelming. I will work on many things and then, I have to step back and focus on just 1 or 2 until completion. I also, try to not buy. I have enough things to last me many years. It is hard, though and every once in awhile I just need a little something. Briwax does come in clear. Also, I stitched Token of Love this year. It is a pretty one. Made a pillow backed with a piece of red velvet from Blackberry Primitives. I iron my pillows flat, as well, using a lot of steam. Anyway, I love your boxes. I hope you had a lovely resurrection Sunday. We did. It is so important to find a good church, happy to hear that you did. Until next time.
I'm so glad that I found you! I took have social anxiety and tend to isolate. You are doing great and I really like your style! Premative is my favorite too, the older, the better. Life sure can throw some curve balls and people never fail to disappoint but God is always my constant. Be Blessed and Thank You for being a light in the world 🌍🌎🌍🌎!!! Happy Stitching, Kari
K3N is a great channel! When things get crazy it is soothing to slow stitch.
So thrilled to find another prim stitcher! I too love Rhonda’s designs!
You are such a visual creative friend. You are inspired by what you see and the creative gift just flows out-of you! Such a gift! I understand about the need to reign it in, though, and do my best to start, and completely finish just a few projects at a time. But I knit, paper craft, cross stitch, quilt and garden...all good things! I don't understand people who are bored! I always have more than I can possibly accomplish in a day on my to do list! Thank you for sharing yourcideas, and ask God to clarify your goals to help you stay on task. I find I pray and create a lot...He is the great Creator and knows what we need best of all! Blessings and prayers...
Thank you for the shoutout! Enjoy your trims! 💜
Oh, goodness!! You are so welcome!! I got the head's up from Kristy at Daisy Kays Primitives. We all need direction to find the perfect prim things!!
GOODNESS IM SO HAPPY YOU STARTED YOUR FLOSSTUBE AGAIN. YOU ARE DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITES❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so happy that I found you, we like the same things. I love old wood and antiques. I quilt I stitch and I’m getting ideas together for boxes. I do have two cigar boxes that I have been playing around with.
So glad you’re getting inspired to play with some boxes and create something unique and special! I just love that!
I have been trying to use my stash or finish what projects I have not finished . Thank you for another great video especially your tutorials on your boxes. Shipping costs has stopped me from ordering stuff so again I go to my stash but unfortunately I am just starting my floss supplies. I haven’t gotten all fancy with floss drops. Yours are so cute. Too bad I am unable to get the tree chart from Drawn Threads. 😕 thank you for sharing your testimony. You bless me so much.❤️ that comment you made “I stitch to hide my crazy.” That describes me so well. Amen! Jesus Christ is my living hope. Onward and upward to our destination.
I too have anxiety issues-- lost many friends because I stopped "running around" thank you for taking your time to share. Have a blessed Easter.
I'm always happy to see a video from you pop up. I have to say I can relate with a spinning brain and wanting to make everything and can't move fast enough! I literally tell myself to focus and try to finish a task before starting another. Of course that doesn't apply to stitching and quilting. 😅😅
I absolutely love watching your TH-cam’s! Listening to you ramble on about whatever craft you are doing gives me so much joy and when I see that you have posted a new video, oh happy day. I have severe social anxiety and totally understand that. Please continue to do what you do. You are so appreciated! The devotional at the end is my favorite part. ❤
So glad I found you on TH-cam a few weeks ago. You lift my spirits as I have been dealing with similar issues for two years. Keep the faith and continue to spread the good news!!
Welcome back. I thought about you often while you were away🎉❤
So glas you are back. I really enjoy each the types of crafts you do especially primitive. Items, BUT now my favorite part is when you ur faith,!!!! I hope you never leave flosstube channel again. Blessings to you
Hi Bonnie, it makes my heart so happy when I see that you've posted another video. I know that I will not only see your beautiful projects but that I will also encouraged and uplifted in my faith. Thank you, as always for being you! Have a blessed Easter.❤
I am doing much the same. Trying to slow down and pare down what I'm doing. It is difficult because I am a collector. I am making headway. Keep going and Happy Resurrection Day.
I want some of your energy and creativity and talent! I enjoy every minute spent with you. So many fun ideas.
Thanks for the prim stuff !!!! I luv your videos and like to watch til the end. !!!!
So glad you stay to the end for the Good Stuff and love Prim!!! You came to the right place to visit!!
Thanks for sharing.....and please take care
I love your willingness to be honest. When I want to do “It All” I set appointments and timers. Example: If I were inclined, I would do my meditation roll after I read my Bible for 30 minutes. I would meditate on what I just read. When you do your next floss tube, I will watch it! Joy, nevertheless!
Thank you for sharing your faith and your many talents. You are truly inspiring, and a blessing. God Bless.
Oh Bonnie! I agree with the "crazy brain" ....I have that too! Too many ideas going on at the same time. My craft room is full of piles ....this fabric for this quilt. This frame for that cross stitch but it has to be painted first. And these skeins of yarn for that shawl.....on and on and on. Yikes.....time to slow down is right.
Love your little boxes.... thanks for sharing.....glad you're back.❤
Thank you Bonnie for Sharing the word and What the resurrection day stands for. Glad you returned ❤
I appreciate your sweet words of encouragement!!
Another lovely video! I thoroughly enjoy seeing all your crafts, thanks for sharing. Happy Resurrection Sunday.
Happy Resurrection Day! He is Risen!❤
When I want something prim and what I have is more bright that’s the time to play with coffee tea dye and even rite dye. Taking a small piece and see what the results are until it’s what I want. You have lots of ideas that are helpful to us. Thank you
I love your podcast
Bonnie, you are of the same mindset as me. Thank you for inspiring me to use what I’ve got. I too have so many crafts that i enjoy. Im so thankful that thou we are miles away I can visit with you. Blessings to you and your family for a wonderful Easter..❤
Thank you, Bonnie, for sharing your journey about slowing down. That was a great encouragement to me to do the same. ❤
I like the same designers as you. Check out Lori Rippey. Tip on getting labels off the boxes. Heat it up first with a hair dryer, and it will come right off.
Thanks so much for sharing your faith, and some scriptures with us. I need those reminders.
One of my subscribers just emailed me, and told me to watch your channel, while I was watching your channel. :) I'm a prim gal also, and love everything you do. Rhonda and I were talking about the boxes. I may pick one up at Hobby Lobby, and give it a try. I'm thinking that it would make a great exchange gift, if it's not too big.
Blessings to you! I'm so glad that I found you. We need more of us prim flosstubers!
So happy to see you again…I love all the things as always..you are certainly one of my friends and the things that you share,are meaningful to me and we definitely share the same likes…. Thank you so much for sharing…..
Pamela, I really appreciate your dear words of encouragement and support! I'm glad to be able to share in this community and I love knowing it means so much to you.
Love your vidoes! Thank you for all the ideas for finishes and how you did them. Happy you help us save money too. OLook forward to the next video.
I am fairly new to Floss Tube and recently discovered your channel. I absolutely love you and your videos. Thank you for returning to Floss Tube!! I too am a prim stitcher and your colors are my colors. My Mom also loved purple. I do mostly smalls but love samplers also. I use all DMC. I love their rich colors and they coffee stain well and don't bleed plus I have easier access to DMC. I have an antique jar that I put my scraps of floss in.You are so sweet and inspirational and I love your faith. Please continue to make videos to keep us all inspired. Have a Blessed Easter!!!
Thinking of you. Hope all is well. Enjoy your TH-cam so much.
Mary, thank you for missing me and your sweet words!! I posted a new quilting video yesterday. Now that the weather is warm, we've been out adventuring and just sitting on the patio enjoying my container garden for this short growing season in Colorado.
I am so glad you are back. I love watching you. Be confident in yourself. You are doing a great job! Happy Easter!!
Just some quick thoughts.... Try stuffing the pillows with wool roving. Like what you use for needle felting but if you buy it from a spinning shop undyed it is cheaper. A pound would do several at least. The reasoning is you xan then press them after stuffing They will stay at that thickness. You will also get closer to that cotton fluff feel you like compared to Polyfill, I mean when you run out of Poly. I'm a spinner too so do this. Love the effect. You were a woodworker. Thrift some frames and cut them down to fit. Paint, stain, wax them right into your style. Easy with the skills you already have.
Your finish of Auld Lange Syne was so pretty I just had to print that chart for myself! When you were talking about frames, this is what I normally do. I only stitch on aida, so I determine the actual stitching size, then cut paper to the exact sizes. When I'm thrifting I take those with me to see if I can find a frame, then will stitch on the appropriate count aida. I hope you understand this!
Happy Easter! He is Risen! 💕✝Lindsay
Love your conversation subjects! I am more of a quilter and crafts. And your sharing your life and love of spreading our need of knowing Christ and following him! Your right the world needs Christ now than ever. It is getting crazy out there!
Praising God every day here in Oklahoma!
Bonnie, thank you for showing and sharing all your stitching and crafts you do. Your boxes are so pretty. I also love prim. Happy Easter!
Happy Resurrection Sunday Bonnie! ❤Got to watch your first video back & look fwd to watching your current ones soon.
Thank You so much for sharing yourself & your super lovely creations & also how you talk to God! I truly Love it. My hope is you can keep sharing!!! ❤😊. THANK YOU!❤
Marsha, thank you so much for your support!! I am going to do my best to stay connected here with my dear stitching family!!
So enjoyable!
I didn't give you a welcome back message until now. Do you feel your new town shares more of your values than living in CA? We're a homeschooling Christian family that moved to a state in the Bible belt, fully expecting like minded Christians. So wrong! Anyway, I love your exuberance in sharing your projects. Jeannie and Leigh Ann of The Loose Thread Stitchers play with quilting, wool, and cross stitch. LeeAnn stitches prim and loves Civil War fabric, whereas Jeannie favors brighter colors. They're fun. And Doreen of Privies and Prims is probably right up your alley, she talks about Asburies Echoes. Happy Resurrection Sunday!
Thanks for recommending my channel! I love, love, love prims!
@@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts you're welcome 😁🤗
We left a more conservative town in California (Rancho Cucamonga), but here on the Western Slope of Colorado is definitely more conservative and I run into so many believers and people who share my values. It's very different from Denver or Front Range area of Colorado. There has been talk of wanting to separate into two different states from what I have heard. I don't like new things or situations, so we decided to move here because I was so familiar with the town and the people because my parents had moved here in 1995 and I had been coming out here several times a year in the last 10 years. During 2020 there was so much less hysteria and much more freedom than we had in CA. Colorado has a governor that we don't appreciate and this state often follows CA, so I don't know what the future holds, but the people here value freedom and love America.
Thank you for suggesting the flosstubes. I do love Doreen of PriviesandPrims and I've been catching up on her since I got back into FlossTube and I'll check out The Loose Thread Stitchers. I need to get back into my wool applique and do a few projects.
@@logcabinstitcher7274 Colorado is beautiful. If it weren't for the politics, I think we would look at it as a possibility for states to move to. We still think of moving back to Alaska most days. Parts of CA are beautiful, too, but absolutely way too many people and way too expensive, plus politics makes it a big no. I'm happy you're settled in a place you're familiar with and happy in, too.
@@logcabinstitcher7274I love all of your videos so much. I’m glad you found a conservative area to live. We are in Utah and had cancelled our retirement travel plans to CO because of the pro abortion policies, up to birth!
So inspiring. Thank you for sharing your Faith.
Happy Easter!!! HE IS RISEN INDEED!! You might check out Teresa Kogut. She does some reall nice Prim stuff.
So glad you are back I enjoy watching your videos and hearing your stories and verses. Have a wonderful week and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩
