I really admire your drive and curiosity to try new things - can't wait to see the outcome of your new spinning hobby. Oh my, gorgeous yarns! That dress for your granddaughter looks SO pretty - how blessed she is to have so talented a grandmother that she can call on for costumes! Do hope you continue to mend and feel better every day!
You have inspired me again! Love seeing all the stitchy and quilty goodness you shared! Everyone’s projects were gorgeous, those wallets looked amazing, that’s on my list. Had to go get the quilt Star pattern you shared. Everyone’s wreaths looked amazing! Your carders are beautiful! Artisans have come a long way in making beautiful tools! Enjoy your new spinning wheel!
What a fantastic video! You always share so much inspiring content! Stitching, quilting, knitting, crafting, sewing, and now dying and spinning, oh, my! I certainly enjoyed every minute! Retreats and sewing and crafting with friends is just the best! Your kitties are so pretty and I’m always in awe of the beauty surrounding you when you share pictures. The wonderful costume you are making for your granddaughter is going to be fun! I miss making costumes for my grandchildren, I really enjoyed that. Take care!
Hi Lori! Lots of eye candy in this video! Your retreat friends had a wonderful time I bet and the food looked fabulous! Good luck with all your planned projects and I can’t wait to see the dress! How fun! Happy creating!!! 🪡🧵🪡✂️✂️✂️🌻🌻🌻💕💕💕
So good to watch your lovely flosstube while stitching ! I always looove houses and birds too ! Love samplers your bought ! Your retreat sounds so lovely ! Have a beautiful summer ! Marine
So sorry to hear you were ill but so glad you are feeling better! Continue to pace yourself! Oh my gosh I am adding root beer and cream to my shopping list stat! That sounds incredible! Your flosstubes are always a treat! Thanks again!
So glad you are feeling much better!! Girl, that wool you bought to spin is absolutely GORGEOUS!! We have a local spinner and weaver group in my area who display their colorful spun yarn at the fair and I'm always there drooling!!! I don't knit or crochet but I buy that yarn and make my own cording for art quilts and Xstitch finishes. Your creative retreat sounds like heaven. The variety of projects is fantastic and the food....I was drooling. Boy, every time I hear about the stitching time with Linda, I have FOMO. You guys have so much fun! The creativity is awesome!! As to the weather, yes I'm ready for the fall and I'm counting down the days to the PNWSS. I'm sure hoping the fire season is over quickly. I worry about everyone in the PNW during this time. Sending you hugs from NE Ohio.
I’m really looking forward to seeing you in the Fall! My love of yarn started much the same as yours with couching for art quilting and clothing. Anything fiber!! You’ll get to meet my stitchy friends at the retreat too!
You’ve been on the go!!! Love the quilt you finished at your retreat!! Your stitching and knitting projects are beautiful and I must say the food at your retreat looked mighty good!! We all have so many plans for projects that sometimes I don’t do any of them and then realize I need to jump back in. I think it can be a curse!! Take care and come back sooner than later!!
You always have such beautiful projects to show and so many unique types of projects. So glad you’re recovering from COVID and pneumonia. It seems like they didn’t slow you done one bit! This video is so full of shops and resources to check out. Those bags are just wonderful! Thanks again for such a wonderful video! ❤❤❤

So happy you are back Lori and feeling better. Glad you liked the Spirit of Christmas book and the Christmas stickers I sent you. I love the vintage stickers too. Just ordered some more and I will send some out to you when they arrive. Keep us posted on how your new adventure with the spinning wheel is going. I have always admired them when I see them for sale. If I had the room, I probably would purchase one if only for the pleasure of looking at it and wondering what may have been made on it back in the pioneer days. I have already gotten into my fall stitching. So done with summer!!! Hugs to those sweet kitties. 😻😻
@@patwiggers7872 Oh gosh, thanks Pat!! Yes, spinning wheels are so awesome. I’ve just went down the rabbit hole of researching the. History of spinning wheels which is fascinating, but then I love history in general. There is a spinning wheel festival in Aurora, Oregon; a couple three hours from me, which I hope to attend this coming Spring. I keep missing it for one reason or another.
I'm so glad you're feeling better! I may have to start Guide to Thee with you, it's so beautiful. How exciting about the spinning wheel! Those fibers you showed!! The colors are to die for! I can't wait to see the beauties you'll make! Your granddaughter's costume is going to be so cool! I love the inspiration and fabrics!
Lori sure glad you are feeling better! Covid is no joke I had it the same time you did. Congratulations on finding your s.wheel.The fiber you brought is gorgeous. Looking forward to hearing how you use it. Great time enjoying your video. Have a great week.Stay cool!❤
It’s. Good to hear you are feeling better. I had Covid 3 years ago. Got over it and felt good. Three days later, I came down with COVID pneumonia. The medication they gave me messed up my kidneys, and I’ve struggled ever since, I enjoy watching your videos and seeing the variety of beautiful projects you make! I’m a knitter, quilter, cross stitcher and card maker. Thanks for sharing what you and your friends make. I’m looking forward to seeing your halloween quilt finished. ❤️❤️❤️
@@beckyjohnson3161 I’m so sorry to hear about your Covid struggles! I hope you are able to find the right help soon! You and I have a lot in common … do all the things!! Please take care!
@@texstylust thanks for your reply. I get a lot of help from family and friends with my garden and home. I’m working on a pumpkin table runner, “Pumpin’s in a Row” with “All Hallow’s Eve” both by Fig Tree.
Sorry you were sick, glad you are feeling better. Your retreat friends have some pretty projects. Love the wreaths! We also have had very hot weather early in WI since June. I expect August to be burning hot! I am also anxious for Fall. I've been stash diving for Fall patterns. Marilyn
Today after errands, I’m going stash diving to figure out Fall projects and how to squeeze them into what I already have going. I’m so done with hot, dry, smokey weather!! Dreaming of pumpkins and cool misty mornings.
Shaniko Oregon use to be the wool capital of the world....according to Mark. Have fum with your spinning, I won't be doing that...or quilting....missy 🤣🤣🤣 Love you 💙🖖
Love the projects! So pretty! Girl you are going to be busy busy busy! Love the fabric for your granddaughter’s dress! I would use the shiny on the top of the dress and use the other side is possible for the skirt? Just a thought! Can’t wait to see it finished!
Watching you now! Edit to add - Sorry to hear about your pneumonia. Yuck. I've been there so know pretty much how you felt. I'm so excited for you getting your wheel Seeing your beautiful fiber, I'd recommend starting with the BFL and waiting for a while until you get more experienced to try the alpaca/silk blend. You'll be able to use your cards to blend fibers, so wait a bit before getting a blending board. Three more pieces of equipment you need are a spool holder for plying your yarn (I made one with a shoe box and dowels, but wooden ones with dowels to hold your spools are much better), a niddy-noddy, and a swift (looks like an umbrella without the fabric cover) to hold the yarn as you wind it into a ball. Congratulations on the first steps to a new adventure!
@@afreespirit1 Thank you! All of the accessories you mentioned are on my list to get. The ones that I want are on back order. I really I really like Rosewood and that appears to be very popular. Several people have told me that Coridale is a good fiber to start with.
@@texstylust Yes, Corriedale is great as a first spin but so is BFL and you already have some! My cat is named Leicester but he doesn't know his name isn't spelled Lester. 😜
Hi! So happy to see you again on your latest FT! Sorry you have been suffering with stupid Covid, but glad you’re improving. Yes, definitely take the rest time you need to fully recover! A question if you don’t mind? I have gathered together the fabric I need for a quilt, and I wondered if you prewash all your fabrics before starting? Thanks!!
@@victoriabougie4412 I almost never pre-wash my fabric. A lot of that was from past times where the dyeing process wasn’t what it is today. Having said that, I will pre-wash if it is a deep red. I have a quilt coming up that is red and white/cream and I will soak it with a color catcher, then rinse and hang until its almost dry, then iron. Good luck on your quilt! What pattern are you making?
@@texstylust I saw another FTubie, Linnie, from SABLE stitchers quite a while back working on a Halloween quilt by Crabapple Hill named Hocuspocusville. I’ll try to send you pictures. There is a lot of embroidery involved and this will be a long term project for sure! I wanted to brighten up the colors and made a few (for me) bold color choices. I would be very interested in your opinion!! I think I will have to email pictures to you.
@@victoriabougie4412 Hi Victoria! They are definitely bold colors which I think are fine. The only think I would caution you on is balancing the color with the embroidery. With Crabapple Hill quilts, you don’t want to take focus away from the embroidery with the fabric. Bright colors are fine as long as the print isn’t distracting. I wouldn’t use the sulky for the embroidery. Plain muslin or SF101 are a better choice.
@@texstylust Thanks so much! Those are all very good points. I’ll make some adjustments before starting. I’m looking forward to seeing your red and white quilt. One of my all time favorite color combinations. I always thought it would be fun to have a red and white kitchen. Take care of yourself and I’ll look forward to your next FT!!
Lori, I am sorry if you have answered this before but what is the name of the cross stitch pattern you are stitching daily, the red sampler. I have to get that pattern!!! I am dreaming about it, thinking about it and totally consumed with it! Thanks!!
