Hi Lori. What a fun retreat weekend we had. It was so nice to talk with you about stitching and your grand babies. You’re just as kind and sweet in person as you are on your floss tube. I loved seeing all your projects and your stitching is amazing. Take care! ❤
Hi Marjorie! It was lots of fun to chat with you. So much fun cause it wasn't too big of a retreat that you get to see the same people and chat the entire weekend. Happy stitching💕
Hi Lori! Sounds like a wonderful retreat!! Lots of goodies! Love "Practically Perfect In Every Way", but then again, I love Mary Poppins! The Libby and Layla piece is beautiful. Your projects are always so pretty. Enjoy your few days away and I'm looking forward to your next flosstube 🌷
Thanks Cynthia. I'm so behind on flosstube with all the babysitting, but hopefully I can go back and catch up. I hope you're enjoying your summer. Happy stitching💕
So much fun to hear you talk about the retreat and see it through your eyes! I'm so glad you had a good time - and even got some stitching in! And, again, I truly appreciate all your (and the others') help throughout the weekend ❤
Thanks Arlene. It was a great retreat. Thanks for all you do in putting it all together. Anyone interested in signing up, I'll send them your way! Enjoy the week! 💕😊
Glad you enjoyed the NJ stitching retreat, it sounded wonderful. I think you said there were about 100 people which sounds nice, not too large. You have some beautiful pieces as always, and I am in love with your Kringles, it is gorgeous! Enjoy your time at the shore and I wish you great beach weather.
Lori, the retreat sounds like so much fun! I really wish I could have been there. Your stitching is beautiful as always. Also, if you don't like using 3 strands on the Mill Hills, just use 2. Satsuma Street perforated paper ornaments just use two and they are fine. Thanks for keeping me company while I finished stitching my frog biscornu. 💜
Hi Connie, thank you so much. The next Mill Hill kit I'm going to try using just two threads. I always enjoy seeing the ones you're stitching. It would have been great if you could have attended with Malina. Enjoy your summer. 💕
Hi Lori! I can't believe you had the energy to make a flosstube after that busy retreat weekend 😂. I still haven't unpacked all the goodies I got! Those swag bags were terrific! I loved everything in them, and the handmade items were so special to receive. I never got over to see your Opening Gambit, but I was waving my clapper for you when you got the page finish on it on Saturday night😊. I love the sampler you stitched for Laila and Libby. The colors are so beautiful. Maybe a cherrywood frame color would work? Hope you enjoy your time down the shore!😊
Thanks so much Maureen. I had to get the flosstube in. I'm babysitting the rest of the week! It was so wonderful to see and talk with you. It was a wonderful retreat. Happy summer and happy stitching💕
It was such a pleasure and so great to meet you at the retreat and thank you for being so welcoming to me !! You made great progress on Opening Gambit !! Have a good week !
It was great to see all the progress you made and your stitching is always so beautiful. Also thank you for sharing your retreat recap and all your goodies and so glad you had a great time. Thank you for another wonderful video.
I love watching your videos, your stitching choices are similar to mine. Your KINGLES is gorgeous! And I think the piece you did for your grand daughters's room is adorable.
The retreat sounds like it was a fantastic time! I had to laugh when you talked about the WIPGO numbers called - this was me for this month & I still don’t have a whole line crossed off yet either. Those fabrics are fantastic, especially cinnamon roll & superstition. I haven’t ordered from Jim before, but will look him up today. Thanks for sharing! XOXO🪡🧵
Hi Susan, maybe contact Jim and ask him if he has something dyed already in the colors you're looking for. I've heard from a number of viewers, they were not happy when ordering from Needleworkers. I hate having to say this but I don't want anyone coming back to me about not getting what they ordered in timely fashion. Maybe it's different now that he doesn't have a brick and mortar shop and relies on mail-order. Just contact him and ask what the turn around would be. Better safe than sorry. I'll mention this is my next video. New numbers called for WIPGO and I'm still not going to make a straight line! Happy Stitching💕
It was such a treat to meet you at the retreat! You were one of the first Flosstubers I started watching. I loved seeing your Opening Gambit in person…absolutely stunning!
Hi Kathleen! It was tons of fun meeting you as well. Your smalls exchange was beautiful! Loved that tiny bee 🐝 you stitched. Enjoy the rest of summer. I've subscribed to your channel and will be following you as well! Happy stitching💕
Thank you for sharing about the retreat which sounds like a great time was had by all. Wow, you got a lot of stitching done. Always impressive. Happy stitching.
Thank you for your video. Sounds like you had a wonderful time on your retreat. I love the Libby and Layla finish. And the cute bunny under the globe. I started The Library with you! I had a center start. Take care and happy stitching!
I forgot to mention we had someone come from England! It was so nice to meet her in person. But I get it. I went because it was close to home and easy to get to. Happy stitching💕
Lovely stitching as always. Love The Queen’s Gambit, it’s amazing and huge❤. So fun to hear about your retreat. I’ve never been to one, need to work up the courage to go on my own.
Nice Retreat review & ooooh the Gifts from Dena & Donna ... nice mat & the fabric sleeve with ring is great for Silks 👍 Very Cool "smalls exchange". What color furniture is in Libby & Layla's room, maybe match that for the frame. It's so pretty. Oh, Santa looks great on that fabric. Will the angel's crown be in a regular floss or metallic? Yup, dragonfly! I take pics of my finished stitched & if I have an oops it pops out at me!!! Kringles looks awesome! Very pretty Moda fabrics. Enjoy your getaway.
Hi Dee, I don't remember about the angel halo. I think it's stitching regular thread but I may use beads. Hope the high temps break for you. There's always stitching indoors! 💕
Oh my gosh that picture that you, Cross Stitch for the twins is so cute and of course everything else is beautiful. Can’t wait to see what you do next time. Have a great couple of weeks. Enjoy your vacation.
So glad you had a wonderful time at retreat. I enjoyed hearing about it. Love love all your stitching. You always inspire me. Enjoy your trip. Look forward to your next video.
I like to do Mill Hills on 14/28 ct lugana or Aida and finish as pillows. I prefer it to the perforated paper. I only use 2 strands. You may enjoy that more!
Your retreat sounded awesome I want to attend more retreats for sure. Love the fabric that is what I need to pick up more of. Beautiful stitching as always. Happy stitching Patty
New to your channel and loved the video chat! I was sent this way via Halfstitch Cross Stitch / Dena! I already have to go and look for a chart...I really loved the Stoney Creek chart Winter in the Village you are stitching on...like I need another new chart...🙄...🤣😆🤣 See you next time!
Hi Karla, welcome to my channel! Dena and I have become good friends through flosstube and we met twice in person. I stitched the Stoney Creek Autumn in the Village so Winter will be my second one of the series. Happy stitching! 💕
I enjoyed your video and look it at all of your beautiful projects. Sounds like you had a great time at your retreat! Have a great rest of July. See you in August. 🥰
Sounds like you had a great retreat. Hope to get to go someday. I love the skating Santa, the white does show up so we’ll. And the house for your granddaughters. So cute.
Hi Mari, okay let's get you started! Just put in a couple of days a month and you'll see how much progress you get and you'll get inspired to keep stitching! Happy stitching 💕
Enjoyed the retreat review. I stitched the Mary Poppins pattern on mint green aida and made it in t o a project bag for my daughter-in-law. Enjoy your visit to the sea shore.
Lori I'm finishing your video in bed and you said it was raining and just before you said that I thought oh its raining out. they had said we could get a little rain tonight. Too funny. Fun video. Take care💚
Hi Lori, I agree, I love all the stuff, but I love the plastic project bags and do not own one needle minder and I have been stitching for 45 years, I must be an anomaly! I love all your stitching, and your fabric purchases are lovely as well, love the summer day!! It is funny, we share the same horoscope sign, and apparently we both like margaritas too!
Hi Lori, and we almost have the same name. Mine is really Loretta. I'm in the 8th, when's yours? The plastic bags are a lot less expensive and they work for me. Happy stitching💕
Hello Lori, I love seeing your stitching, it’s wonderful! I’m going to my 1st stitch group meeting on Saturday in Sacramento CA. Being a new stitcher I think it will be good for me. I need all the tips I can get. I have 2 questions: 1) who did you buy the Snoopy❤ from? 2) on Summer Day’s and Superstition, what’s the fabric company’s name? See you in August!😍
Hi Lisa. I had to investigate the needleminders. Her name is Annette and she sells them through her Facebook page Mind Your Needles. The fabric was from Needlework by Jim. He does pop up shops and came to our retreat. I have to tell you that I've heard too many bad stores about ordering on line from him. I only buy what I see and don't order anything. This is just a heads up. Happy stitching. Enjoy your meetup 💕
That would be awesome. I'd have to see if I can find the pattern. Otherwise, I'll keep the box and put goodies in there when they come visit! Happy stitching💕
Yes. Watch Arlene Cohen's videos and she'll explain how to sign up just for information at this time. If I find out more info, I'll mention it in my next video. Happy stitching💕

Hi Lori - your retreat sounds magical. You know I love your In The Village Series . . I'm so anxious to get started.
Hi Mari, okay let's get you started! Just put in a couple of days a month and you'll see how much progress you get and you'll get inspired to keep stitching! Happy stitching 💕
This was my first retreat and I had a blast. Loved all your wips!
It was tons of fun. I'll be checking out your flosstube soon. Happy stitching💕
❤
In Walmart’s back to school section zippered mesh bags are available. 6 bags for 47.67.
The reindeer was so cute! I know the instructions call for 3 strands, but I have always only used 2 strands when doing Mill Hill kits...
Good to know Debbie! Next one two strands! Lol. Happy stitching! 💕
thanks for sharing with us
Very happy to share. Happy stitching💕
I love Mill HIll Kits. I don't like the way they look with 3 threads so I always do 2 threads and it is much more enjoyable.
Enjoyed the retreat review. I stitched the Mary Poppins pattern on mint green aida and made it in t o a project bag for my daughter-in-law. Enjoy your visit to the sea shore.
That's sounds lovely for you daughter-in-law. Happy stitching🥰
Lori I'm finishing your video in bed and you said it was raining and just before you said that I thought oh its raining out. they had said we could get a little rain tonight. Too funny. Fun video. Take care💚

Can you please show a closeup of your Afternoon in New York finish? I have that and love your finish
Absolutely Vickie! Just wrote it in my notes for the next video. 💕
Lori what fabric are you stitching the tiny towns piece on?
Hi Kathy. It's 28 country mocha lugana. 💕
Hi Kathy, it's 28 count country mocha lugana. 💕
🪡👍🏽
Could anyone explain the cross stitch acrostic game???
Hi Kathleen, I will explain it in my next video. A little too long to write out. Happy stitching💕
So are you going to stitch three more Soda Stitch Pin-up girls to mount on boxes so that ALL of your granddaughters get one?
That would be awesome. I'd have to see if I can find the pattern. Otherwise, I'll keep the box and put goodies in there when they come visit! Happy stitching💕
Can anyone attend the retreat?
Yes. Watch Arlene Cohen's videos and she'll explain how to sign up just for information at this time. If I find out more info, I'll mention it in my next video. Happy stitching💕
