Hi Olivia. So happy for your family on the upcoming graduation. Enjoy this special time! Please do not feel the need to apologize for lack of content...you will always have something to share, such as the beautiful aurora photos at the beginning of your video. It is just nice to see your smiling face and your beautiful stitching, whenever you have the time to create a flosstube.
Welcome back. Don’t apologize for being late. You are taking your time to share your beautiful work. Life happens and this is a special time for your family. Enjoy the time with your family and make memories.
I enjoy all your content, whether short or long! Great work on your projects and finishes! Take care of yourself and enjoy the busy season! Love all you do❤️
No apologies are necessary. I just appreciate so much when you are able to video. I love your finish on Casting A Spell! Congratulations! Happy stitching!❤
Thank you for sharing your beautiful, beautiful projects I look forward to seeing what what you are working on I am brand new to cross stitch and quilting a really enjoy your channel may God bless you and your family congratulations to your son on his graduation.
It is always a pleasure seeing you and your beautiful projects. No need to apologize, you do what you can do and that is the way it should be. Family and life come first! You have inspired me to get Casting a Spell out and complete it. I've had all the supplies and box for quite some time! So thank you for that!! I also have had summer jubilee kitted and ready to go for quite awhile. I have Slate by Fabrics by Stephanie to stitch it on. It is a faded navy blue color. It does look beautiful on the tin roof. Wishing you the best making the decision to finish or restart. See you next time!
So good to see you Olivia whenever we can. I am not sure how you get anything done with working and a graduation. I certainly can't accomplish much. Happy Memorial Day to you and the family.
I always love when I get the notification that you have a new video... everytime someone says a child is graduating, the song You're Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins flashes through my mind... I am grateful you took the time on Saturday... all I have to say is, everyone is right when you meet one of your favorite Flosstubers, every coherent thought leaves your mind and all that comes out is a rush of everything & nothing all at the same time! Your stitching & finishes are always wonderful. Enjoy this time in your life, it will slow down before you know it!
Olivia...delightful video...beautiful stitching and finishing...congratulations on your son's graduation...what a joy...your quilt hanging behind you is beautiful...best wishes❤❤
I liked the picture of your wall. We were married a bit longer ago but also in November-11/20/66. Your stitching (and quilting) is always so beautiful. I wish I had found these hobbies when I was young! Be calm during these next few weeks & enjoy this Celebration. Then take a deep breath & relax when it's over!
Hello Olivia lovely to see you again. Hmm about that project you are humming and haa img about I agree with you, wait and see... mull it over , it is so hard when the fabric is discontinued , be interesting to see what you decide. I am glad to see you when you post but no pressure Olivia...
Great video Olivia! Congratulations on your son’s graduation. Your WIPs are beautiful and I adore your Winds of Autumn!! Please don’t stress - life happens and I/we are here for you. See you next time! ❤
Olivia please don’t worry. Life and work happen and you are making the choices that are solid and right for you and your family. Blessings to all of you
Graduation season is so busy! Ours finished up yesterday. I haven't stitched or sewn in a few weeks. Hang in there! Congratulations to your son. Christmas At Hollyberry Farm is so pretty!
No need to ever apologize for not having time to make a video, Olivia! Life gets crazy busy and we all understand. Love your BBD Halloween finish and the blackbird - they are gorgeous! Thanks as always and happy stitching!
Thanks for video - the finish was beautiful - congrats to your sons graduation- have a great couple of weeks - lakeside linen - you can place order at traditional stitches in Canada - if they don’t have it in stock they backorder it and ship and bill you when it comes in - you may have to wait a few or several months but I have always gotten what I ordered
Summer Jubilee-Don’t stop! If you like it that’s what counts. Love First Winds of Autumn. 🍂 All your stitching is beautiful. I’m so proud of the fact that I’m up to date with the Piecemaker Sampler quilt BOM.
There is no need to apologize,we all have a life outside our hobbies. Congratulations on your son gratis June. Having a job and all the summer activities get to be pretty busy season,we are not inside to Sriracha or sew like fall and winter. ❤❤❤ all your beautiful stitching. Take time to enjoy the season,life passes way too quickly. 🫂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Don’t do too much...please! Congratulation to your son for the coming graduation these are important times and tell him to relax and remember this time he will always remember,fondly !
Good to see you any time you can make it. Hope you find time for your quilting in the future. I stopped doing client quilts a couple of years ago and miss the interaction with them.
Thanks for sharing your stitching, and don't worry about not having 'content,' your pieces are beautiful no matter what. When you're working and have kids at home, too, it's necessary to be kind to yourself. On Summer Jubilee, could you use one strand and back stitch on the alphabet? It would be subtle but might make the letters stand out a little more.
About Summer Jubilee, before you pick it all out try going over the top stitch with the brighter thread, just the top stitch! See what a difference it makes…or back stitch the letters with a medium brown and they will stand out. Just try one to see if you like it. I have done this many times. Good luck! 💕 Thanks for the vids. Lonnie in Texas Aka Cleocat
Love all your fun stitching. The Cast a Spell finish is beautiful,. Your flowers and the pictures of the aurora borealis at the beginning of your video were beautiful too. Have a great two weeks. 🙂
Please don’t apologize for being a little late for your video! You definitely are a busy gal. I’m glad you are finding time to stitch. The Halloween box is amazing! Once again the photography at the beginning of the video is fantastic. You are very talented.
Don’t apologize! If you could work and continue getting the same amount of stitching/quilting would make the rest of us feel like failures. 😂 I think life is crazy for everyone so any stitching time we get is our therapy session. Your First Winds of Autumn is beautiful and I need to get that book.
I enjoy your videos, both the stitching and the quilting. I stitched Summer Jubilee last year. I did use the called for fabric and threads. But it looks very washed out and not at all bright and cheery like the photo. I would suggest using the fabric you have but using brighter threads as the colors have changed since this was written. It is a beautiful chart and one to do.
What gorgeous northern light photos you took. Thank you for sharing them. Of course, I watch for your stitching - all of it. Your framed project looks perfect on your wall. You did a beautiful job stitching and framing that jewel of a sampler.
You are amazing! Did miss you last week and I look at how much cross stitch I didn’t get done because I have been working on an English paper piecing baby quilt. Never enough hours in a day that is for sure. Have fun at Hobby Lobby and a good couple of weeks. See you soon ❤❤
Olivia have you looked at Old Top Hat by Dames of the Needle for your Souvenir of Summer piece? Love every single project you showed-so beautiful! You make me want to start all the things 😂
Great video! I want to stitch the blackbird design. I think I will stitch mine on a navy linen, and substitute the flosses as needed. It’s a beautiful piece, you should restart if that’s what your heart is telling you.
Don’t apologize. Life happens and this is a very busy time of the year. When you make a video I will be here. Glad you are still having some time to stitch!
You can still get the called for linen 18th Century Blackbird for Summer Jubilee. I order 36 count a couple months ago and I’m going to start mine this week. But honestly your husband is probably right… you have a lot done.
Your truths of there’s a limit to the time one can fill with creativity is real, seasons can change our “sitting and stitching or sewing time” for the BEST OF US! Thank you for your video again….
About you Blackbird piece. … what would happen if you mounted it on a dark board. Would the letters pop more?? I like the ghosting effect myself but if you have doubts, lay it on something dark and see!!! Love your videos and positive sweet spirit!!!!

Life can be crazy especially with your son graduating. Sometimes we all need a break including yourself ❤

I always enjoy your videos no matter the frequency. Your son graduating is definitely a priority. Take care and enjoy the moment. 🌺

Life keeps so extra busy at times. Yes I missed you last week! Loved seeing your projects, n Hey to Freddie!
Don’t apologize. Life happens and this is a very busy time of the year. When you make a video I will be here. Glad you are still having some time to stitch!
Omg the Northern Lights!!! How fortunate you are to see them like that. What are those curly flowers in your opening?
Loved seeing your progress and finishes. Enjoy this busy season!
You can still get the called for linen 18th Century Blackbird for Summer Jubilee. I order 36 count a couple months ago and I’m going to start mine this week. But honestly your husband is probably right… you have a lot done.

love to listen your videos and gorgeous charts !!! Have a good day, where are you located if you don't mind me asking,how is the weather!!
I finished women of mayflower took me 4 years because of vision problems put this in your 4 year projects to finish it
Absolutely love your finished pieces. May I ask where you got the box for Casting A Spell?
Thank you so much Olivia for another great video. Your work is always so beautiful. Where did you get the box for Casting A Spell?
It comes from Hobby Lobby. I think the SKU number is mentioned somewhere on the chart.
🐴🐴🐴
Would making a pin cushion out of Ada over linen make a difference? I have never made a pin cushion or used linen
Do you use glass when you frame your projects?
I don't, unless it's something I want to protect for a specific reason.
Your work is so beautiful!! Just wondering where you work and is it related to cross stitch or quilting?
Do you use a hoop or stand ?
in hand only
oops, answered the questions about the hoop,i answered hoop but maybe this was meant to be answered by the one videoing!!!LOL LOL
christmas in my heart - designer name pls
