Congratulations on 5000 subscribers. I enjoyed your vlogmas this year. The dress for your granddaughter is beautiful and having something hand made by your grandmother is special. I love to quilt and watch my garden grow. Thanks for sharing.
Santa, Spring, Watermelon, Garden. Totally enjoyed your relaxed walk thru cross stitch/quilty/decorations for Christmas. 🎁🎄🎉♥️ Followed your & Olivia's applique tutorial until life interrupted. I'm not surprised that Holly and Mistletoe is on your bucket list. You're looking lovely Laurie. Take care of your health w/all the fog & dampness. Quilting in the Garden is a beautiful book.
I can’t wait to see your progress on the Raven! When I saw Olivia’s tutorials I about died!!! She is a master and I love watching her. I’ve already started buying products she recommends! She’s a gem ❤
Oh my gosh, Lori, thank you SO much for the sweet shoutouts!! I am sooo excited that you're going to be starting The Raven!! It's going to be amazing in the original, called for fabrics! I can't wait to see it come together. I really can't think of anything I would change about your vlogmas. I think what was so magical about it was that it was a calm, slow, daily fix of winter/Christmas with a friend. It wasn't forced cheer or over-stimulating in any way, which are the tougher parts of December for me. I also loved getting a look at all of the things that bring you joy in the season. Thank you so much for all of the effort you put into it. ❤
Thank you so much Olivia, that’s just what it was for me … chatting with my friends about what makes the season special. Have you decided on a block yet?
Congratulations on the 5,000 subscribers! You will have some outstanding fully finished items in the upcoming year. I look forward to seeing them. I finished Baby it's Cold Outside into a pillow using a couple of civil war reproduction fabrics to border it (inner and outer border). I love it and keep it out all winter. The fabrics I chose really make the house pop. The table runner you plan to make is beautiful, a very good friend made me one and hand quilted it. I want to see it all year, and so when it is not on the table it is hanging over a bedroom door outside of my studio. It brings me joy to see it. I do not have suggestions for your vlogs. Enjoyed all of what you did this December.
Thank you so much Lori! Yes table runners can be displayed in so many ways. Your Baby It’s Cold Outside finish sounds great. Heading over to IG to see if you have it there. Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed your vlogmas so much. It really helped me get back into the Christmas spirit after having a tough few years of loss and health issues. It was like a visual advent calendar where each day brought a new fun surprise. I appreciate all of the thought and time you put into each one. Thank you! I started cross stitching again this year after a break of almost 30 years. I used to stitch a lot of Prairie Schooler Santas and would love to stitch the skating Santa, and also the Spring Fever design. Loved seeing all of your beautiful projects in this video. Congrats on 5,000 subscribers!
I’m glad I could inspire! Cross stitch got me through some really rough times when there wasn’t anything else I could physically do. Welcome back to it! Thank you so much!
I've been quilting for 25 years, but I'm brand new to cross stitch. I so enjoyed your vlogmas, and I would love to stitch the santa. I don't really have a garden, but I do enjoy planting flowers and tomatoes in pots on my deck each spring.
I have a garden spot, but haven’t been able to set one up yet. It needs a 6-8 fence to keep out the resident herds and other critters. It’s in the plans though!
Fabulous finish. I really enjoy seeing your scenery in your area. I’m in NC and everything looks so different. I watched flossmas each day. Really enjoyed
I think what I liked about the Vlogmas was that I felt like I was relaxing and chatting with an old friend. It was a good variety of things. Spring (I have the others, lol)
I enjoyed all of the Vlogmas posts. My favorites were the crafting ones. I liked the info about how to dry the oranges and how to make the garland with them. I enjoyed the cookie baking. If you decide to do it again in 2024, I would like more of the crafting. You showed the book with the tree with the handmade houses and showed interest in trying to create your own. I would like to see you attempt that. Maybe another sewing project or two. A tour of the decorated house (or as much as you care to show). How to make a wreath. I liked the tour of the shop in town selling all the holiday decorating items. Another of those would be oh so interesting. Any of the decorations around town. How to create interesting vignettes. Maybe how to wrap gifts that isn't just wrapping paper. Creative table decor such as homemade placemats, etc.
Awesomesauce!!! Great minds think alike. Fantastic suggestions and right down my alley. Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback. Happy New Year!
Oh my I absolutely loved all your finished cross stitch projects! Can’t wait to see them framed and finished. We have much the same taste. I am decorating my rooms in different themes also. I have a big old farmhouse. Being a retired 72 year old widow, redecorating this old house keeps me busy. I also do all types of needlework, just getting back to cross stitch after a thirty year reprieve. I have been doing g a lot of quilting. Love your Flosstube. You give me so much inspiration! Love those kitties! Your wood furniture is gorgeous! I bought the wood polish orange /beeswax that you suggested. Loved your Vlogmass! Such a joy to set down and see what you are up too in your creative world! Always fun to stitch a Santa! Better sign off, this book is getting to long! Shirley
Thank you so much Shirley! I’d love to hear more about what you are doing in your Farmhouse!!! No post is too long. Comments for me are like having a fantastic bunch of pin pals that all love the things I love! I hope the orange beeswax is working for you. My furniture typically gets a lot of sun and I live in a dry climate (usually, this year has been different); so keeping them nourished is a must. Do you knit/crochet or weave (my next adventures)? Not enough time!!!
Santa is getting ready for spring I bet. Watermelon season will be here soon as summer will quickly follow spring. Garden season is around the corner too. BBD quilts are wonderful.
I think your Red bird by BBD would be lovely hemstitched and attached with ribbon around that large basket behind you. (I am so glad there is no music playing in this video - I couldn't concentrate with it repeating and repeating during you Vlogmas videos. )
Please do Vlogmas again next year. I so enjoyed your daily posts. Featuring an artist is one of my favorite subjects, or a theme. I will look forward to your decorating and home improvements this year.
Congratulations! I loved watching your vlogmas and im glad you are considering it again. I would enjoy seeing your decorating and I really enjoyed your scenery videos. I'm a new subscriber. Spring
Garden. Your Vlogmas Video's were my favorite this year. Thinking about why I liked them so much, I believe because they were calm and friendly. You sitting on the floor in front of your sofa and showing us all things for the holidays. It was like window shopping. I got so many great ideas for decorating next year. I kept jotting things down to look into like: Rag Garland, Mistletoe Balls & paper mache. I am a quilter too and love to Bake so you hit all the things. Thank you for spending time with us this holiday season. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much!!! I have so many new wonderful recipes to try and several reminders and new movies to add to the collection. I really appreciate your feedback, thank you! Happy New Year!
I loved the variety during your vlogma. Every day was an adventure with Santa, baking, movies, homemade decorations, charts, stitching, kitties, shopping, highlight - your granddaughter singing! Love watermelon! I have a wonderful spring garden.
Now that Santa is packed away for the year, I have several lovely winter months to stitch and read before Spring lures me out to work on my Garden, which is in terrible shape! I enjoyed every Vlogmas that I watched….I did not see all of them I must admit. But I could still look at them! Have a lovely 2024 and I certainly enjoyed hearing about your plans and commitments for the year ahead. And, I love your stitched pieces! Carol in Texas
Hi Carol … I must say, that is one of the best constructed comments!! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you do get a chance to go back and watch. Most of them are short, but there are a few doozies too!
I will have to say, your Vlogmas was my favorite!! Each video was was so calm and peaceful and we share the same likes in old movies, baking, cross stitch, quilting,sewing and decor. Even your background music!! I love to have goals and if those goals are written down, that really commits me to them. I have a small chalkboard in my sewing room and I check off each finished project. So next year’s Vlogmas, just continue on!! I love spring but I’m ok with winter for a while!! Stitch and quilt away to your heart’s content!!❤️
Sara, I have so enjoyed your comments! I was mentioning to another subscriber how it’s like have a great bunch of pen pals that all love the same things I love! I’m with you … I actually love all the seasons, but I’m okay with winter staying awhile … it doesn’t feel as if it’s really here until we get a good snow!
Congratulations on 5,000 subscribers I always enjoy your beautiful stitching along with your quilts! Loved the photos of surrounding area. I also live here in Central Oregon. Spring and watermelon just go together. Have a wonderful Blessed New year! Your In Heaven and Nature sings was gorgeous!
Everything I stitch is a Blackbird Design and am looking forward to beginning my stitching for Spring. Thank you lovely Lori for your constant inspiration . I am looking forward to joining you in your Raven SAL❤
I loved your vlogmas they were so relaxing and comforting to watch, my favorite things ( if I have pick something) were the ones where you did handmade items, and cooking...it reminded me of the joy making things with my hands gave me. In 2024 my plan is to get back to baking and making things(besides just cross stitch). Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Yay! I have so many other handmade things in mind and I’m glad I was able to get some done this year. Definitely doing more pears and oranges. My house still smells amazing. Thank you so much for watching!
Love the Santa! I have just started stitching these, but I don't have this one yet! It reminds me of a sled I set up outside my door every year, with greenery and ribbons and a set of ice skates. They once belonged to a dear friend's Father and I remember them both when I set it up every Christmas. I think it is good to remember friend's who are near and those who have gone on before us during the holidays. Thank you for sharing so much of your life and home!
Loved seeing And Heaven and Nature Sing finished. So pretty. I think the thing I loved about your Vlogmas is that your slow Christmas came through and it reminded me to slow down. Also just loved the variety of things you showed. You have inspired me to kit a few more Teresa Kogut's (Cardinal Friend was my New Year's start), but for the moment, I need to start planning my garden as the growing season is just around the corner for me.
Happy New Year! I really enjoyed vlogmas 23 and would love more of the same. You are fun to listen to and do fun projects. I loved when scenery was shown and the town and shops. I hope you are very successful with your plans to decorate your home! I’m digging in and stitching and quilting my heart out in this last year of my 60’s.
I loved each and every vlog I was able to watch! My favorite was EVERYTHING! I know that doesn't help you much so I'll say I enjoyed ALL OF IT!!! I do want to thank you Lori for all the work you put into all of your shares with us! Love you girl! I hope you and yours have a wonderful new year as we all need! ❤💜💚💛
Hi Lori. I am so excited you are thinking of doing Vlogmas again next year!!! It was so amazing. I enjoyed you sharing all your memories with us which in turn brought back so many memories for all of us too!! I was just the best time! This video was so fun to hear your goals for the year ahead. You can do it!!! Thanks so much for all you do for this community. Can't wait to see your next video. Take care!!
It’s great to see you so soon after vlogmas. I watched them all. I liked them because they got me into the Christmas spirit. I made a quilt from the tending the garden book when you and Olivia B. Did your appliqué series several years ago. Garden, Santa, spring. You want to make the peppermint and holly quilt. I would like to make that quilt also. I can’t wait to see you meet your goals this year.
Happy New Year dear Lori! What a beautiful and calming intro to this video, thank you for all you bring & share! I really hope the weather clears and you feel better soon. I have to sit down and plan some charts that I want to finish in 2024....with the exception of a few ... I want it to be a Blackbird designs year.... I really can't pin down any particular thing that I would want you to change in your video. I love looking through your WIPs, finishes, fun quilt books. & anything quilt related...it will always be my first love. I haven't been drawn to applique the Raven quilt but so many from some of their fabulous books. I also keep my eyes open for Quilting in the Garden and others. Stunning quilts. Wish some of our bright sunshine could come your way...😊🌞🌤
Happy New Year Sarah!!! Quilting will always be my first love as well, but cross stitch got me through some rough patches. I’ve always liked handwork and I wish I had started sooner. Looking forward to sunshine and snow …sound contradictory, but in my area it isn’t!
I liked all of your Vlogmas videos. The first one caught my attention, because it was different. A drive in the mountains (heaven to me), and the stop at the store was wonderful. You had my attention. I didn't miss one. Each one different, and I don't quilt, but I loved seeing all your plans for quilts. I don't do felt/wool applique, but that caught my interest, so I want to try that sometime this year. All in all, I loved everything. My dream has always been to live in the mountains, but alas that will not happen for me. And I'm not sad about that, because I have spent plenty of time in the mountains of Colorado and the Smokey Mountains in Kentucky. Happy New Year, and I look forward to more great inspiration from you. Congrats on reaching 5k followers. Karen B. from Woodstock, Georgia.
Thank you so much Karen!! I’m thrilled I could share some inspiration! I’ve been to Colorado and it was a close decision of which mountains to retire too. Visiting the Smokies has been on my list since I was a young lass. I’ll get there someday! Looking forward to hearing about your adventures this coming year!
Quilting Garden InThe Garden is such a beautiful book - and so very generous of you to include in a giveaway! Wishing you many blessings in the new year Lori!
Happy New Year! Congratulations on the 5000. We are cold here, so I am waiting for the warmth of spring, but not wanting to rush my life away. Have a wonderful 2024, and I hope you reach your decorating goals.
Congrats on your numbers. I would enjoy a house tour. Hope you are back to 100% health in this new year. I look forward to seeing your stitching projects. I am looking forward to spring and my garden . Happy New year.
Congratulations on your subscribers, you should have so many more, they don’t know what they are missing. In my Book of Days I am very new to keeping track of my projects but I had to start now 😂 will track stitches and quilting. January will be a continuing Christmas and Winter stitching, February will be Fall and Halloween, March will be Misc. and repeat the months in that order. Santa is not a priority but I have a Prairie Schooler Alphabet chart for the fireplace and would love to do a letter a week. I may have to find the Garden book, Spring will be in my misc months and love the “Peppermint and Holly” quilt you showcased. Sure hope you continue to feel better. 🪡🧵🙏🥰⛄️❄️ Hope you get snow soon❄️❄️❄️
Love all you cross stitches and your quilts as well, love the scenery and cats at the start of this flosstube. Santa is gone skating until spring arrives and he eats watermelon. I have never tried quilting. Put a few stitches on one my mother was doing years ago. But you are certainly inspirational to encourage one to start. Congrats on 5K followers.😊
Such a great video. Love the dear pattern, a must for me to do. Spring can't come too soon and always love to pig out on watermelon. Have a great new year.
I loved your vlogmas because you presented things that were dear to your heart at Christmas in such a peaceful and relaxing way. It felt like a visit with a friend and helped me slow down during the bustle of Christmas. I would be interested in seeing your bedroom decors. But only do another vlogmas if it is something that you enjoy. Happy New Year!
Nice to see you again 😉 What beautiful photography/scenery at the beginning! I had to wait for some quiet time and a hot drink to watch. My New Year's start is Baby It's Cold Outside. One of the charts I bought after returning to stitching. Your's looks fantastic ❣️ Your plans sound great, I wish you great success 🪡❌🪡 I enjoyed so many aspects of your Vlogmas, hard to choose... baking and sharing your various collections I guess! Happy stitching and Happy New Year ✨🕯️🌟
Happy new year! I really enjoyed your vlogmas. From the stitching progress to the get together with friends to the baking and the pattern parades and the finale was great to listen to!
Santa stranded in Arizona with my job for 30 years with no GARDEN! Retired to the trees, birds, and season. I just found your channel & love it. Thank you!!
It’s so hard to believe another year has passed. Pretty soon we’ll be sitting in the warm sun enjoying a slice of watermelon before picking up our stitching. I have loved each of your posts this year--thank you so much for taking the time to share your crafty endeavors. May you have a blessed 2024.
I loved all if your Christmas vlogs, the music too. I wouldn't change a thing. I think my favorite was the shared recipes. Yoh have some nice projects to finish. Love the T Koguts. Happy New Year Lori! Marilyn
Always love your videos. I think you and I have had the same “crud”. I went back to the doctor and he said I’m getting better, it’s just going to take time. Guess that’s all the more reason to sit and stitch. 😉 What if you put patriotic in your prim room? In the spring watermelon seeds get planted in the garden.
Love all the crafts you do! I want to learn to quilt and I would want to start with a table runner. Winter Whites is sweet. I have that to stitch 24 in 24 but not making a drum. Love Spring, it's sew beautiful where you live, the view is stunning. I miss my Appalachians. Been a flatlander too long in Tampa Bay. Miss my mountains. Will go back and binge watch your Vlogmus and past videos❤ Happy New Year, nice to meet you!
Stunning views, thank you. Your deer sampler is stunning. What I enjoyed about your clog is it helped me to appreciate the daily blessings of Christmas. Santa, spring, garden
I love the skating Santa I want to stitch it for my Son…he was a hockey player! Also I don’t have any suggestions for next years vlogmas because I totally enjoyed everything you did!
Lori thank you for giving us so much joy Congratulations on 5k. Vlog.was fabulous I enjoyed the variety & learned alot. Great memories ❤ Can't wait to see your crow quilt.Will you wash your fabric before you start? Happy New Year looking forward to seeing your plans come ❤️
Congratulations on your 5k! I am starting Kathy Barrick’s Heaven and Nature Sing pattern- I’m interested to see what fabric you used. I love cross stitching Santa, but before we know it spring will be here and we need to get those patterns ready too.
Is it funny that I can picture some of these finishes where they will be in your lovely home The little one that you mentioned as a scissor holder drapped over a lamp shade in the cottage room. Happy New Year lady 💙🖖
Congrats! On 5,000 subscribers! You have a beautiful channel. I hope you can give us a home tour this year. Your views are majestic! I hope Santa was good to you!
Lori, loved Vlogmas! Was a grounding spot each night to let everything go! Fun variety! Best to you in 2024! BTW, the dress was beautiful and very special!
I’m so glad you are considering vlogmas for 2024! I enjoyed everything about vlogmas 2023. The stitching, the parade of charts, the beautiful dress for your granddaughter, and everything in between. Oh, and your cats. Happy New Year and Happy Stitching!
I always look forward n enjoy your videos. Santa, Spring, Watermelon, Garden. For your Vlogmas next Christmas, don't change anything! I thoroughly enjoyed all of them.
Your plans for 2024 are good and you will be busy! I will be looking forward to seeing your FOs turn into FFOs! A Prairie Schooler Santa is such a wonderful Santa to stitch. I’d love to have a tree decorated with Prairie Schooler Santa’s. 🎄 Peppermint and Holly is a beautiful quilt, thanks for sharing the pictures from the Quilting in the Garden book. Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉
It is Winter Whites by Summer House Stitch works … I did remember it correctly! It’s a fast easy stitch. I do recall I substituted one of the colors though, but unfortunately I don’t recall.
I loved your vlogmas for many reasons. I’m in 🏴🇬🇧and I love seeing how others prepare & celebrate in their country. I had time to watch shorter videos. I loved all the aspects you covered. Your shops overall are totally different to ours so that’s fun. None of my friends stitch or craft so it’s lovely to connect with others of similar interests. Wishing you a very Happy New Year ❤️❤️
I think that’s the great thing about shops in different parts of the world! It gives you a taste of everyday life somewhere else. Love it! Happy New Year!
Great to see you back! After watching you every day in December, there was a bit of withdrawal having to wait a week for the next Flosstube. Once again, I enjoyed your content. Once again, I’m boggled by the patterns and charts that you have and I can hardly wait to see next year’s plans come to fruition, I have a question for you do you suppose that when spring comes Santa heads out to the garden? Oh, by the way, I am Canadian and live in Canada but I have a sister in the US who would be happy to pass along any kind of a package that might come her way for me. Wishing you a Happy healthy New Year ahead!
It’s hilarious to try to think of a Santa in the Spring Garden sentence that makes sense! 😂😂. As far as your Vlogmas this year, I just really enjoyed the variety of topics you covered. And, I got a late start so I am still going back to watch the ones from earlier in the month. So next year….just random videos showing homemade decor, recipes, Christmas decor shopping, unique purchases for gifts or home decor and, of course cross stitch. It was all so great! Happy New Year!🎉😊
I love seeing all the finishes. Your Vlogmas was wonderful to watch. It let me know that there are others like me that treasure vintage items, whatever they may be, and reliving childhood memories. I watched A Christmas Story Christmas after you mentioned it. It was one of the highlights of this Santa season, now onto Spring! Happy New Year.

I can’t wait to see your progress on the Raven! When I saw Olivia’s tutorials I about died!!! She is a master and I love watching her. I’ve already started buying products she recommends! She’s a gem ❤
Guess I better get cracking!! ☺️
Oh my gosh, Lori, thank you SO much for the sweet shoutouts!! I am sooo excited that you're going to be starting The Raven!! It's going to be amazing in the original, called for fabrics! I can't wait to see it come together.

Your line of finishes are all so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your lovely home and the beautiful view!
Thank you so much!
Watched your video and enjoyed it while in sub zero weather, Glad Santa came when it was warmer.
I've been quilting for 25 years, but I'm brand new to cross stitch. I so enjoyed your vlogmas, and I would love to stitch the santa. I don't really have a garden, but I do enjoy planting flowers and tomatoes in pots on my deck each spring.

Your finished projects are pretty. Like the one for your grand daughter. Interested in "Spring"🤠
Santa. Spring, watermelon, garden. Great video.
Thanks for visiting!
Wow, did you know that Santa is looking forward to Spring.
Fabulous finish. I really enjoy seeing your scenery in your area. I’m in NC and everything looks so different. I watched flossmas each day. Really enjoyed
Ahh, but North Carolina has the Smokey Mountains … yes? You have all the wonderful deciduous trees. It’s on my list of places to visit!!!
I think what I liked about the Vlogmas was that I felt like I was relaxing and chatting with an old friend. It was a good variety of things. Spring (I have the others, lol)
Thanks so much Judy! I also enjoyed the “after” chats with you through comments. Hope to see you back!
Well forgot to mention that in the book Quilting the Garden, it was the Peppermint & Holly quilt that was a must. Love ya

Thank you so much!
Please do Vlogmas again next year. I so enjoyed your daily posts. Featuring an artist is one of my favorite subjects, or a theme. I will look forward to your decorating and home improvements this year.
Thank you so much for the feedback Bonnie! It’s always good to revisit stash, and I’m looking forward to making progress on my rooms this year.

Now that Santa is packed away for the year, I have several lovely winter months to stitch and read before Spring lures me out to work on my Garden, which is in terrible shape!

I will have to say, your Vlogmas was my favorite!! Each video was was so calm and peaceful and we share the same likes in old movies, baking, cross stitch, quilting,sewing and decor. Even your background music!! I love to have goals and if those goals are written down, that really commits me to them. I have a small chalkboard in my sewing room and I check off each finished project. So next year’s Vlogmas, just continue on!! I love spring but I’m ok with winter for a while!! Stitch and quilt away to your heart’s content!!❤️
Sara, I have so enjoyed your comments! I was mentioning to another subscriber how it’s like have a great bunch of pen pals that all love the same things I love! I’m with you … I actually love all the seasons, but I’m okay with winter staying awhile … it doesn’t feel as if it’s really here until we get a good snow!
Congratulations on 5,000 subscribers I always enjoy your beautiful stitching along with your quilts! Loved the photos of surrounding area. I also live here in Central Oregon. Spring and watermelon just go together. Have a wonderful Blessed New year! Your In Heaven and Nature sings was gorgeous!
Hello sister Oregonian!! Thank you so much for the kind words. I wonder how close we are in proximity?
@@texstylust I’m in Prineville in town.
Love your videos and finishes. Currently watching all your past videos. Watermelon spring
Glad you like them!
Home is where my hear blooms I stitched in 2008 and trying to find the right frame,so happy stitching. Happy New Year.
Happy new year!
Everything I stitch is a Blackbird Design and am looking forward to beginning my stitching for Spring. Thank you lovely Lori for your constant inspiration . I am looking forward to joining you in your Raven SAL❤
Hi Amy! Yay, looking forward to seeing everyone’s progress! I hope you’re post pictures on IG!
I'm looking forward to spring and my garden. Looks like a great book.
It really is! Thanks for watching.
I loved your vlogmas they were so relaxing and comforting to watch, my favorite things ( if I have pick something) were the ones where you did handmade items, and cooking...it reminded me of the joy making things with my hands gave me. In 2024 my plan is to get back to baking and making things(besides just cross stitch). Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Yay! I have so many other handmade things in mind and I’m glad I was able to get some done this year. Definitely doing more pears and oranges. My house still smells amazing. Thank you so much for watching!
Love the Santa! I have just started stitching these, but I don't have this one yet! It reminds me of a sled I set up outside my door every year, with greenery and ribbons and a set of ice skates. They once belonged to a dear friend's Father and I remember them both when I set it up every Christmas. I think it is good to remember friend's who are near and those who have gone on before us during the holidays. Thank you for sharing so much of your life and home!
Agreed! What a lovely way to remember them!
Just found your channel!! Look forward to seeing your videos on 2024. Santa is my fav!!!
Thank you, Happy New Year!
Loved seeing And Heaven and Nature Sing finished. So pretty. I think the thing I loved about your Vlogmas is that your slow Christmas came through and it reminded me to slow down. Also just loved the variety of things you showed. You have inspired me to kit a few more Teresa Kogut's (Cardinal Friend was my New Year's start), but for the moment, I need to start planning my garden as the growing season is just around the corner for me.
Yay! Thank you!
Happy New Year! I really enjoyed vlogmas 23 and would love more of the same. You are fun to listen to and do fun projects. I loved when scenery was shown and the town and shops. I hope you are very successful with your plans to decorate your home! I’m digging in and stitching and quilting my heart out in this last year of my 60’s.
Thank you! Happy New Year! I’ll be digging into projects right along with you!
I loved each and every vlog I was able to watch! My favorite was EVERYTHING! I know that doesn't help you much so I'll say I enjoyed ALL OF IT!!! I do want to thank you Lori for all the work you put into all of your shares with us! Love you girl! I hope you and yours have a wonderful new year as we all need! ❤💜💚💛
Oh gosh, thanks so much! Happy New Year to you!
Hi Lori. I am so excited you are thinking of doing Vlogmas again next year!!! It was so amazing. I enjoyed you sharing all your memories with us which in turn brought back so many memories for all of us too!! I was just the best time! This video was so fun to hear your goals for the year ahead. You can do it!!! Thanks so much for all you do for this community. Can't wait to see your next video. Take care!!
Thank you Julie! I’ve have a whole year to plan (this one was by the seat of my pants). Happy New Year!
Just found your channel and enjoyed. I hope Santa brought you everything you wanted! ❤
Santa was good to me, and if he forgot something; this mama elf knows where to find it. 😂. Happy New Year!
It’s great to see you so soon after vlogmas. I watched them all. I liked them because they got me into the Christmas spirit. I made a quilt from the tending the garden book when you and Olivia B. Did your appliqué series several years ago. Garden, Santa, spring. You want to make the peppermint and holly quilt. I would like to make that quilt also. I can’t wait to see you meet your goals this year.
Thank you! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year dear Lori! What a beautiful and calming intro to this video, thank you for all you bring & share! I really hope the weather clears and you feel better soon. I have to sit down and plan some charts that I want to finish in 2024....with the exception of a few ... I want it to be a Blackbird designs year.... I really can't pin down any particular thing that I would want you to change in your video. I love looking through your WIPs, finishes, fun quilt books. & anything quilt related...it will always be my first love. I haven't been drawn to applique the Raven quilt but so many from some of their fabulous books. I also keep my eyes open for Quilting in the Garden and others. Stunning quilts. Wish some of our bright sunshine could come your way...😊🌞🌤
Happy New Year Sarah!!! Quilting will always be my first love as well, but cross stitch got me through some rough patches. I’ve always liked handwork and I wish I had started sooner. Looking forward to sunshine and snow …sound contradictory, but in my area it isn’t!
SANTA, Santa, SANTA!!
I liked all of your Vlogmas videos. The first one caught my attention, because it was different. A drive in the mountains (heaven to me), and the stop at the store was wonderful. You had my attention. I didn't miss one. Each one different, and I don't quilt, but I loved seeing all your plans for quilts. I don't do felt/wool applique, but that caught my interest, so I want to try that sometime this year. All in all, I loved everything. My dream has always been to live in the mountains, but alas that will not happen for me. And I'm not sad about that, because I have spent plenty of time in the mountains of Colorado and the Smokey Mountains in Kentucky. Happy New Year, and I look forward to more great inspiration from you. Congrats on reaching 5k followers. Karen B. from Woodstock, Georgia.
Thank you so much Karen!! I’m thrilled I could share some inspiration! I’ve been to Colorado and it was a close decision of which mountains to retire too. Visiting the Smokies has been on my list since I was a young lass. I’ll get there someday! Looking forward to hearing about your adventures this coming year!
Thanks for another beautiful video! I would love to stitch Santa or spring. I give you a lot of credit for setting so many goals! ❤❤❤
Thank you! I’ve always been a goal oriented person. In my professional project management life, outcomes are life! 😂
Quilting Garden InThe Garden is such a beautiful book - and so very generous of you to include in a giveaway! Wishing you many blessings in the new year Lori!
Thank you! You too!
Happy New Year! Congratulations on the 5000. We are cold here, so I am waiting for the warmth of spring, but not wanting to rush my life away. Have a wonderful 2024, and I hope you reach your decorating goals.
Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you too!
Congrats on your numbers. I would enjoy a house tour. Hope you are back to 100% health in this new year. I look forward to seeing your stitching projects. I am looking forward to spring and my garden . Happy New year.
Thank you. Happy New Year!
Congratulations on your subscribers, you should have so many more, they don’t know what they are missing. In my Book of Days I am very new to keeping track of my projects but I had to start now 😂 will track stitches and quilting. January will be a continuing Christmas and Winter stitching, February will be Fall and Halloween, March will be Misc. and repeat the months in that order. Santa is not a priority but I have a Prairie Schooler Alphabet chart for the fireplace and would love to do a letter a week. I may have to find the Garden book, Spring will be in my misc months and love the “Peppermint and Holly” quilt you showcased. Sure hope you continue to feel better. 🪡🧵🙏🥰⛄️❄️ Hope you get snow soon❄️❄️❄️
I hope we get snow soon too! Happy New Year!

Congratulations on 5K. God bless❤

Have a good week ahead. See you soon❤
Happy New Year, Lori! I'm looking forward to Spring.
I enjoy all your videos and seeing all the out of print books and charts that I may need to find 😂 garden
Happy New Year!
I loved seeing all of your finishes! Santa came to me this year! I feel like it's spring here now in the NE. No snow!
Happy holidays!
Love all you cross stitches and your quilts as well, love the scenery and cats at the start of this flosstube. Santa is gone skating until spring arrives and he eats watermelon. I have never tried quilting. Put a few stitches on one my mother was doing years ago. But you are certainly inspirational to encourage one to start. Congrats on 5K followers.😊
Thanks for having me go back and catch up on vlogmas episodes. I ended up going online and ordering some used books!😊 Santa Spring Garden
They don’t call me the #foundingmemberofthemutualenablerssociety for nothing!
Such a great video. Love the dear pattern, a must for me to do. Spring can't come too soon and always love to pig out on watermelon. Have a great new year.
Thanks so much! Happy New Year!
I decorate my kitchen in watermelons during summer months.
I loved your vlogmas because you presented things that were dear to your heart at Christmas in such a peaceful and relaxing way. It felt like a visit with a friend and helped me slow down during the bustle of Christmas. I would be interested in seeing your bedroom decors. But only do another vlogmas if it is something that you enjoy. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
Love your garden books
I've had fabric set aside for the Raven quilt for a while, so hoping to make it along with you. Love your videos!
Wonderful! Be sure and watch OliviaB as well. I think she is going to go a little more in depth.
Nice to see you again 😉
What beautiful photography/scenery at the beginning!
I had to wait for some quiet time and a hot drink to watch. My New Year's start is Baby It's Cold Outside. One of the charts I bought after returning to stitching. Your's looks fantastic ❣️ Your plans sound great, I wish you great success 🪡❌🪡
I enjoyed so many aspects of your Vlogmas, hard to choose... baking and sharing your various collections I guess!
Happy stitching and Happy New Year ✨🕯️🌟
Thank you so much! I appreciate the beauty around me! I’ve always been a mountain and tree girl. Hope to see you soon!
Happy new year! I really enjoyed your vlogmas. From the stitching progress to the get together with friends to the baking and the pattern parades and the finale was great to listen to!
Thank you, Happy New Year!
Santa stranded in Arizona with my job for 30 years with no GARDEN! Retired to the trees, birds, and season. I just found your channel & love it. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! I’m happy you were able to find your place with the trees, birds and seasons! Happy New Year!
Great video today! I also started the TK Cardinals Friend just last week. It’s turning out so cute!!!Spring
All her designs are so cute. I wish I could stitch as fast as she designs!
I LOVE watching your videos! It's always just like sitting down and having a conversation with an old friend! I also love Santa.
Thank you so much Lois!! I feel that way too. ☺️
It’s so hard to believe another year has passed. Pretty soon we’ll be sitting in the warm sun enjoying a slice of watermelon before picking up our stitching. I have loved each of your posts this year--thank you so much for taking the time to share your crafty endeavors. May you have a blessed 2024.
I loved all if your Christmas vlogs, the music too.
I wouldn't change a thing.
I think my favorite was the shared recipes.
Yoh have some nice projects to finish.
Love the T Koguts.
Happy New Year Lori!
Marilyn
Thank you Marilyn, and thanks for sharing too!
Happy New Year Lori. Enjoyed all your plans for the new year. Thank you for sharing. Spring
Happy new year!
Congrats on 5 K. Quilting the garden book is a real treasure.
Always love your videos. I think you and I have had the same “crud”. I went back to the doctor and he said I’m getting better, it’s just going to take time. Guess that’s all the more reason to sit and stitch. 😉 What if you put patriotic in your prim room? In the spring watermelon seeds get planted in the garden.
Hmm, its worth considering. I hope you’ll feel better soon. It’s definitely been going around here. Happy New Year!
Love all the crafts you do! I want to learn to quilt and I would want to start with a table runner.
Winter Whites is sweet. I have that to stitch 24 in 24 but not making a drum.
Love Spring, it's sew beautiful where you live, the view is stunning. I miss my Appalachians. Been a flatlander too long in Tampa Bay. Miss my mountains. Will go back and binge watch your Vlogmus and past videos❤
Happy New Year, nice to meet you!
I wouldn’t be happy for very long out of the mountains. Thank you for subscribing and watching.
Enjoyed your video on your goals Santa is behind us now an spring is coming soon
Can't wait!
Santa is a jolly ol' soul and a joy for all year! Stitching Spring wool projects now! Onward and upward for 2024!!!
Happy New Year!
I’ve had the same bug and I am so done with it. I hope you keep feeling better. ❤
I wish I was so done with mine, but it keeps hanging on. The incessant fog isn’t helping. Hope you are having a wonderful New Year Sue!!
Stunning views, thank you. Your deer sampler is stunning. What I enjoyed about your clog is it helped me to appreciate the daily blessings of Christmas. Santa, spring, garden
Thanks Dee!
During the Spring it gets warm enough to want a slice of watermelon. 😊 congratulations on your 5k subscribers 🎉😮
Thank you 😋
I always enjoy your videos. You are so talented. Your home is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
Beautiful video! ❤
I love the skating Santa I want to stitch it for my Son…he was a hockey player! Also I don’t have any suggestions for next years vlogmas because I totally enjoyed everything you did!
Thank you Julie!! Happy New Year!
Lori thank you for giving us so much joy Congratulations on 5k. Vlog.was fabulous I enjoyed the variety & learned alot. Great memories ❤ Can't wait to see your crow quilt.Will you wash your fabric before you start? Happy New Year looking forward to seeing your plans come ❤️
I don’t generally wash my fabric prior to piecing. Depending on the quilt, I may starch, but not always. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year hope Santa was really good to you!
Same to you!
Congratulations on your 5k! I am starting Kathy Barrick’s Heaven and Nature Sing pattern- I’m interested to see what fabric you used. I love cross stitching Santa, but before we know it spring will be here and we need to get those patterns ready too.
Thank you! I used Lakeside Linen Vintage Maple Sugar for my H&NS. Happy New Year!
Loved your Vlogmas, what struck me the most was your sincerity. It was fun seeing what charts you have and just whatever projects you had going.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Wishing you a wonderful New Year!
Is it funny that I can picture some of these finishes where they will be in your lovely home
The little one that you mentioned as a scissor holder drapped over a lamp shade in the cottage room.
Happy New Year lady
💙🖖
Happy New Year my friend. I hope you’re feeling well and sassy!! That’s a wonderful idea. Thought’s on spring summer decor for your room?
I suck at decorating...my house is Season of the Witch...all year round
Congrats! On 5,000 subscribers! You have a beautiful channel. I hope you can give us a home tour this year. Your views are majestic! I hope Santa was good to you!
Lori, loved Vlogmas! Was a grounding spot each night to let everything go! Fun variety! Best to you in 2024! BTW, the dress was beautiful and very special!
Thank you, Happy New Year!
I’m so glad you are considering vlogmas for 2024! I enjoyed everything about vlogmas 2023. The stitching, the parade of charts, the beautiful dress for your granddaughter, and everything in between. Oh, and your cats. Happy New Year and Happy Stitching!
I always look forward n enjoy your videos. Santa, Spring, Watermelon, Garden. For your Vlogmas next Christmas, don't change anything! I thoroughly enjoyed all of them.
Thank you so much! Happy New Year!
Hope Santa was good to you this year - now we can look forward to spring. Congratulations on reaching 5000 subscribers!
Your plans for 2024 are good and you will be busy! I will be looking forward to seeing your FOs turn into FFOs! A Prairie Schooler Santa is such a wonderful Santa to stitch. I’d love to have a tree decorated with Prairie Schooler Santa’s. 🎄 Peppermint and Holly is a beautiful quilt, thanks for sharing the pictures from the Quilting in the Garden book. Happy New Year! 🎉🎉🎉
Can’t work in my garden yet. It is too cold…😊
Like spring😊
I love so many of your finishes and can’t wait to see even more. Congrats on 5K!
Thank you!!
Congratulations on reaching 5K. Spring is my favorite season b
Garden Wild Promegrant or Christmas Quilt for Emily
I would love to know the nMe of the piece that you showed that you are going to make into a drum shown Rou d the 17.32 mark, love it!
It is Winter Whites by Summer House Stitch works … I did remember it correctly! It’s a fast easy stitch. I do recall I substituted one of the colors though, but unfortunately I don’t recall.
I loved your vlogmas for many reasons. I’m in 🏴🇬🇧and I love seeing how others prepare & celebrate in their country. I had time to watch shorter videos. I loved all the aspects you covered. Your shops overall are totally different to ours so that’s fun. None of my friends stitch or craft so it’s lovely to connect with others of similar interests. Wishing you a very Happy New Year ❤️❤️
I think that’s the great thing about shops in different parts of the world! It gives you a taste of everyday life somewhere else. Love it! Happy New Year!
Great to see you back! After watching you every day in December, there was a bit of withdrawal having to wait a week for the next Flosstube. Once again, I enjoyed your content. Once again, I’m boggled by the patterns and charts that you have and I can hardly wait to see next year’s plans come to fruition, I have a question for you do you suppose that when spring comes Santa heads out to the garden?
Oh, by the way, I am Canadian and live in Canada but I have a sister in the US who would be happy to pass along any kind of a package that might come her way for me. Wishing you a Happy healthy New Year ahead!
I love that you have a postal buddy! As for applique, there is more than one way! Happy New Year!
It’s hilarious to try to think of a Santa in the Spring Garden sentence that makes sense! 😂😂. As far as your Vlogmas this year, I just really enjoyed the variety of topics you covered. And, I got a late start so I am still going back to watch the ones from earlier in the month. So next year….just random videos showing homemade decor, recipes, Christmas decor shopping, unique purchases for gifts or home decor and, of course cross stitch. It was all so great!
Happy New Year!🎉😊
I love seeing all the finishes. Your Vlogmas was wonderful to watch. It let me know that there are others like me that treasure vintage items, whatever they may be, and reliving childhood memories. I watched A Christmas Story Christmas after you mentioned it. It was one of the highlights of this Santa season, now onto Spring! Happy New Year.
Thank you so much! Yes, looking forward to sunny weather!
Santa has gone back to the North Pole and it won’t be too much longer before it will be approaching spring. I hope you have a wonderful New year.
