I worked for Organic Valley for 17 years. It is a family farm owned co-op that produces dairy, produce and meat products headquartered in Wisconsin. Every year there is an annual meeting. I was asked to come up with a quilt project the employees and farmers could participate in and launched it at the annual meeting. I had just bought The Farmer’s Wife quilt book. We gathered some fat quarter sample colors as inspiration and let employees and farmer’s wives pick which block they wanted to make. It was assembled and quilted and now hangs in one of the office buildings. One of Organic Valley’s production plants is in McMinnville, OR😀.
I can’t wait to see the Halloween episode to see if you’re number one is my favorite quilt of yours! Pretty sure it is! Absolutely loved this episode! I don’t even quilt, but I love them!!
it is such a fun time watching your videos. I love how passionate you are about each one. Thanks for the suggestions , I am always looking for patterns, even though I'm not as big of a civil war fabrics as you are.
Love your Flosstube videos and now your separate Quilty tube videos. I am currently working on Spangled and love it. Like my cross stitch projects I also have numerous quilt projects going. Spangled kind of keeps being pushed aside because of the detail and all the piecing so thank you for your excitement and encouragement to get back working on my Spangled quilt! Thank you for all your videos!
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video. Thank you for sharing with us. I too was so inspired by Carol Saltbox Stitcher's star quilt that I immediately started making my own. It's one of those that is an ongoing project and at least once a week I make a couple of sawtooth stars. I just love the old fashioned blocks like sawtooth stars and churn dashes. Thanks so much for including the link for Carol's Churn Dash. I am currently working on Barbara Brackman's Civil War quilt (sew along with Karen Montgomery) and when I'm done, I will use my leftover for Carol's Churn Dash quilt. Thanks again, Olivia, and have a blessed weekend.
OH MY GOODNESS Olivia!!!! Every single quilt was my favorite!! LOL. I think because I also LOVE Civil War fabrics!! I'm 45 minutes from Gettysburg and so it is very inspirational. Always a joy to see handsome Freddie! Loving your Quilt only videos now. Thank you so much.
Hi! Love the one behind you, design and colours.oh Olivia I will just say love them all!❤thanks for showing them! Funny when you said top 5, I thought ha hard for you to find 5 and then you said 10. 😅 love it all!
I just love seeing your quilts. They inspire me to try new things. I have had a project sitting on my shelf for almost a year because I was aftraid to mess it up. I decided this was the weekend to start. I have the blocks all cut out. I was tickled to see that some of my fabrics are also in your quilts too. Hopefully it will turn out as beautiful as your quilts are.
All of your quilts and the quilting are beautiful, thanks for sharing. I too love civil war fabric. Thanks for letting us know about the new fabric line by jo Morton. Her fabric is so nice!
Your Quiltytube2 was extremely interesting to me. I purchased the Farmer's Wife Quilt book and the Civil War Diary Quilt book a few years back. You have made it a reason why I should get started on at least one of them. Your work is spectacular. The one on your wall I truly love and also hope to make it. You make this show so interesting to your fellow quilters. Fall is also my favorite time of year.😊
I went to Andover's site and they say they are reprinting her old fabrics, one collection at a time. So Carolina is a reprint. I was confused because I found stores that had pieces of it. Great video Olivia. I learn so much. Farmer's wife twice. Phew! Hats off. You are my new hero. The gods have favoured you :)
WOW, WOW, WOW,! You made my day, week, month announcing Jo Morton is releasing a new line in March!! Between Jo and Kim Diehl, my house is covered in quilts with their delicious fabrics. Olivia, I could honestly watch one of your quilty tubes every day. Such great content and stories to go with. So appreciate you taking the time to create these videos. Do you by any chance have a good source for purchasing ladders? Mine are full and I need more that look rustic like yours. Again, a BIG THANK YOU!!
Thanking for sharing your quilts and the processes you go through to make them. Glad to know your quilts are loved to the falling apart stage rather than folded on a shelf out of sight and untouchable.
I adore Kim Diehl patterns and fabrics...I live in Michigan, however before covid joined a Kim Diehl club in Canada at The Rose Cottage....wonderful little shop in LaSalle.
Love seeing all of your beautiful quilts. I made the Farmer,s wife but I did paper piecing and then hand quilted it. I love mine too. I’m trying to do the pony one now from the same author and having a really hard time figuring out the paper piecing. I may abandon that one. I am inspired by you to make “Cut the Mustard.” I have been collecting fabrics, I love, love, love that quilt.
What another great video! I did enjoy it so much. You are a wonderful quilter. I think the scrappy stars and the cheddar and indigo are probably my favorites. I appreciate the time it takes for you to put this together.
Your quilts are gorgeous! It is so much fun to hear the passion you have for all of the quilts you showed and how much joy they bring you. I would say that most of your quilts are a challenge.
I enjoyed the quilt show today. When you showed the book by Jo Morton I had to have a copy. Went on Amazon and of course they had it ( they everything ) and bought it. I blame you it's your fault, you are such an enabler. LOL Seems we like the same type of fabrics and quilts. I was so disappointed when Jo retired, happy to hear she will be coming out with a new line. Keep up the great work Olivia ! Waiting for your next flosstube.
I am always so excited to see that you have released a video, either flosstube or quiltytube! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I can't wait to see the Halloween quilts!
All your quilts and quilting are wonderful. I learned to free motion feathers on my Babylock . It is a regular sewing machine with a wider throat area. I watched Cindy Needham RUclips videos and perfected the feathers. I have quilted them on every size quilt including king.
Your beautiful quilts are so inspiring! I was undecided about which quilt to work on next but the opening photo of Spangled made the decision quite easy. I’ve been working on Scrappy Celebrations, but for now I’m setting that one aside. I definitely love civil war fabrics. I definitely will be looking forward to your next quilty video. Take care!
Hello Olivia, I was so touched by your obvious enthusiasm for the farmer's wife sampler quilt. I actually went and bought the book. I began to read the stories of these women and listen to their voices and look at the quilt blocks. Truly moving. So another quilt is going to be cut and sewn. Thank you for opening my eyes to something that I never would have otherwise looked at. I am mostly into European quilts and quilting and cross stitching. I have begun to explore N American crafts like I never have before. Truly an inspiration you are. Hugs
Oliva, I love your Quilt tubes. So many beautiful quilts, and how lucky you are to have a great friend to pass quilts in progress off to you. She knows you will not just add them to stash but complete them, and good for you. The picture of your daughter wrapped in the quilt reminds me of The statue of "Dignity" located at Chamberlain SD. Could I ask you for a special favor, would you please draw on a small piece of paper your quilting pattern, as I am also a free motion quilter and the quilting is not always easy to see in videos. Thank you so much.
Oliva, such beautiful quilts. I too love civil war fabric. I love love the no name 2 1/2 squares quilt. Can you give me an idea of the size you made. I had lost my interest in quilting for a couple of years but you have inspired me to get back to it thru this Floss Tube. I also watch your cross stitch video's as well which I picked up doing when i lost interest in making quilts.
I very much enjoyed listening to your behind the scenes quilt stories for your shown quilts. It reminded me to capture some of those special memories and inspirations for my own quilts as well. Looking forward to the Halloween quilts 😀
You do beautiful work and it’s nice that you can go into more detail and talk about your quilts. I love both your cross stitching and quilting videos. You are so creative!
LOVE these quiltytubes! It's always a joy to hear the stories behind the quilts! Thanks for the heads up on Jo Morton....I peeked at the fabrics and LOVE it!!!!
I love your quilts! Even though I do not sew with civil war fabric...I love them. The picture of your daughter with the quilt draped around her is the best. It describes what we quilters feel every time with give a quilt. ❤
Oh, I was so excited to see you had another video up, Olivia! I, too, love the older looking fabrics, and most of my quilts contain a lot of piecing. My favorite activity besides cross stitch has been,. Quilting as I feel like I am always learning something new and challenging with each quilt. So glad to hear Jo M. Is coming out with a other fabric line! Great news! Keep on stitching and sharing your love of it with us! Best regards, as always!
"Love love loved it" to quote one of my favorite flosstubers. 😊 You are my Saturday morning stitch companion. Great quilts! So inspiring.....also tempted to try ribbons now on my long arm. Thanks for sharing ❤
#2 was a home run! You've inspired me to start quilting again. I usually cross stitch all summer at the lake, and when we come home in the fall, I quilt. Think I will start a month early this year! Thanks for taking the time to share all your beautiful quilts and the stories behind them. I'm looking forward to #3.💕😊
Spangled Quilt - working on it. You're right those colors are perfect for Fall. Your Farmers Wife Quilt with the gifted blocks is a beauty. Love the Quiltytube videos. Please continue sharing.
Once again loved your QuiltyTube video! I too am a big CW Repro fan so for me this was so much eye candy. I know that for me it was the attraction of making the "looks like an antique" vibe of repro fabric quilts. It suddenly occurred to me that if you had professed a love of antique furniture, your quilt mates of the past would have never been as critical of your tastes as they were of your fabric style choice. Considering the long, prolific and successful careers of designers like Jo Morton, Kathleen Tracey, Paula Barnes, Faye Burgos, Judie Rothermel, Barbara Brackman, Betsy Chutchian (and her group of 19C Patchwork Divas), and more contemporary designers whose style is similar to the genre like Kim Diehl, Sheryl Johnson (Temecula Quilt Co), Edyta Sitar (Laundry Basket Quilts), they can't all be wrong! If you are still interested in getting more comfortable with quilting feathers, I'd also recommend checking out Angela Walters "Free Motion Quilting Challenge" on "Fabulous Feathers" that remains free here on You tube. She also has free downloadable worksheets of all the motifs she demonstrates on her website "Quilting Is My Therapy". I had only quilted more traditional feather motifs (on a DSM) but needed something different to fill the curvy rows of a log cabin quilt set in diagonal "furrows" that I had made and her challenge gave me a flexible feather motif that perfectly filled the bill! I also quilted another simple top of all large rectangles that allowed me to try all the motifs she demonstrated. Had a lot of fun with that one! Very much look forward to your "Top 10 Quilts" video! [Edited] Oh and a P.S. I am currently working on a 2-1/2" scrap squares quilt top using the leftover Christmas fabrics from a "Christmas in July" project also adding in some coordinating panel squares to the layout. Sheri McGill over at Lessons Learnt here on You Tube also has one in progress and one she finished a couple of months ago. The "design" doesn't have a name but I learned about doing this from Pat Sloan (also here on You Tube) for whom this is her "go to" way of using up scraps: www.ilovetomakequilts.com/2017/03/pat-sloan-how-to-make-a-bonus-quilt-with-25-squares-while-you-make-other-things.html
Your quilts are beautiful! Every time I see your Spangled quilt I’m reminded that I need to get started on it. I have the pattern and plenty of Kim Diehl scraps. Great idea for the Farmers Wife quilt to substitute some blocks - using templates is not my favorite method so I have not done that one. Thanks for the video!
I love all your videos. Your quilts are beautiful. Your stitching is also beautiful. I can't wait for your videos to come out. You do a great job. Thank you for sharing.
What a joy when your new videos pop up! I love your quilt episodes, so much so that I had to track down a Spangled quilt kit. Thank you for the effort you put into these.
Thank you for another great quilt video! It is truly a joy and like others, your passion for reproduction quilting inspires me to not just only make but to collect!!! I too have seen the Jo Morton line for next Spring and I cannot wait!
Hello! I have loved listening to you Olivia and enjoyed seeing all your incredible quilts! They are all so individual and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. It is a joy!
Beautiful quilts! How exciting for a designer to re-post a picture of your work. Your video actually inspired me to dig out a project I started two years ago...a woven star quilt using Kim Diehl's "Chocolate Covered Cherries" line. I got about half the blocks done, then had to go adult, and didn't make time to finish. Adulting is so annoying when it keeps us from playing with the pretty fabrics. I really like this new video schedule. Deep diving into your quilting is fun and informative. Look forward to all your upcoming Floss/Quilty Tubes. Have a lovely two weeks😊
Your work is so inspiring Olivia…..I love your floss tubes and now your quilt tubes. You are a pleasure to watch all the way from Denmark.I love your enthusiasm for everything that you produce and share.
Olivia, your video is spectacular!!! I’m in awe of how you pull together all the scraps to create. My banker brain says it needs match match but my creative side says wing it scrappy. You do scrappy to 10th degree fantastic! Thanks for show and tell. 👏👏
Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilt!
Beautiful trunk show and inspirational
Loved your latest video Olivia!! You’ve inspired me!!!!
Stunning!😍😍😍

Oh, I would LOVE to see your Halloween quilts...can't wait!!
Beautiful!!!
Loved seeing the quilts, while we don't use the same genre of fabrics, we quilt in the same style - scrappy.
Oh my gosh, I remember your icemeggen. I'm glad you made it through just fine

Cut the Mustard is my favorite.

I enjoyed watching your video while I worked on my cross stitch.
Your quilts are gorgeous! It is so much fun to hear the passion you have for all of the quilts you showed and how much joy they bring you. I would say that most of your quilts are a challenge.
I believe her name is pronounced just like the regular pronunciation of "Lisa". Love the new Quilty videos!

Beautiful quilts and a great commentary to go with them. Always inspiring to see your work.

You look absolutely gorgeous in that colour ❤❤❤

"Love love loved it" to quote one of my favorite flosstubers. 😊 You are my Saturday morning stitch companion.
Great quilts! So inspiring.....also tempted to try ribbons now on my long arm. Thanks for sharing ❤
#2 was a home run! You've inspired me to start quilting again. I usually cross stitch all summer at the lake, and when we come home in the fall, I quilt. Think I will start a month early this year! Thanks for taking the time to share all your beautiful quilts and the stories behind them. I'm looking forward to #3.💕😊
Each time you show and discuss your quilts _ I buy quilt books and add quilts to my long list of quilts to make. You inspire me. Thanks
I really loved Quiltytube #2! You and your quilts are so very inspiring, so I'm off to check my stash and do some creating!
Spangled Quilt - working on it. You're right those colors are perfect for Fall. Your Farmers Wife Quilt with the gifted blocks is a beauty. Love the Quiltytube videos. Please continue sharing.
You make such beautiful quilts. Your enthusiasm is so refreshing. Can't wait for your next video!!
Thanks for another great video, beautiful quilts and love hearing the stories behind them ❤
Once again loved your QuiltyTube video! I too am a big CW Repro fan so for me this was so much eye candy. I know that for me it was the attraction of making the "looks like an antique" vibe of repro fabric quilts. It suddenly occurred to me that if you had professed a love of antique furniture, your quilt mates of the past would have never been as critical of your tastes as they were of your fabric style choice. Considering the long, prolific and successful careers of designers like Jo Morton, Kathleen Tracey, Paula Barnes, Faye Burgos, Judie Rothermel, Barbara Brackman, Betsy Chutchian (and her group of 19C Patchwork Divas), and more contemporary designers whose style is similar to the genre like Kim Diehl, Sheryl Johnson (Temecula Quilt Co), Edyta Sitar (Laundry Basket Quilts), they can't all be wrong!
If you are still interested in getting more comfortable with quilting feathers, I'd also recommend checking out Angela Walters "Free Motion Quilting Challenge" on "Fabulous Feathers" that remains free here on You tube. She also has free downloadable worksheets of all the motifs she demonstrates on her website "Quilting Is My Therapy". I had only quilted more traditional feather motifs (on a DSM) but needed something different to fill the curvy rows of a log cabin quilt set in diagonal "furrows" that I had made and her challenge gave me a flexible feather motif that perfectly filled the bill! I also quilted another simple top of all large rectangles that allowed me to try all the motifs she demonstrated. Had a lot of fun with that one!
Very much look forward to your "Top 10 Quilts" video!
[Edited] Oh and a P.S. I am currently working on a 2-1/2" scrap squares quilt top using the leftover Christmas fabrics from a "Christmas in July" project also adding in some coordinating panel squares to the layout. Sheri McGill over at Lessons Learnt here on You Tube also has one in progress and one she finished a couple of months ago. The "design" doesn't have a name but I learned about doing this from Pat Sloan (also here on You Tube) for whom this is her "go to" way of using up scraps: www.ilovetomakequilts.com/2017/03/pat-sloan-how-to-make-a-bonus-quilt-with-25-squares-while-you-make-other-things.html
Love all the reproduction fabrics! Beautiful quilts!
Olivia,what a special treat this video was. Thank you so much.
I found the book Tried and True on Amazon. It’s arriving in a few days. Gorgeous quilts😊
Your quilts are beautiful! Every time I see your Spangled quilt I’m reminded that I need to get started on it. I have the pattern and plenty of Kim Diehl scraps. Great idea for the Farmers Wife quilt to substitute some blocks - using templates is not my favorite method so I have not done that one. Thanks for the video!
Olivia...always love seeing your quilts...best wishes❤
I love all your videos. Your quilts are beautiful. Your stitching is also beautiful. I can't wait for your videos to come out. You do a great job. Thank you for sharing.

Love your site and have subscribed! Love your stories about making the quilts! Also lost my “mojo” & just getting back to it. Scrappy is my favorite.
Love seeing all your quilts!! Quilt what makes you happy

You are a pleasure to watch all the way from Denmark.I love your enthusiasm for everything that you produce and share.
Love every minute of your Flosstubes and now your Quiytubes. My Saturday morning "coffee" entertainment. Beautiful quilts.
Your quilts are stunning. Thank you for a great video.
Olivia, your video is spectacular!!! I’m in awe of how you pull together all the scraps to create. My banker brain says it needs match match but my creative side says wing it scrappy. You do scrappy to 10th degree fantastic! Thanks for show and tell. 👏👏
