Hi Lori, I love your style and your home. I would love to see more of it when you have it decorated for Christmas. My favorite cookie is called " A Melting moment" It adds a touch of cornstarch to make it melt in your mouth. And topped with an orange glaze that has a little zest in it. An amazing cookie! Love all of your videos! Thanks so much for all you do. Merry Christmas
Always enjoy your floss tube. We have such similar taste. I love the crab apple Hill Quilts because my first love was embroidery I finished and gifted winter wonderland. I did it in red and white. I also finished and gifted Over The River and Through The Woods in the same colour way as the pattern cover. I love them and wanted to keep them both, but I gave them to my daughter and her family and my son and his family and they’re well loved there. I have been watching your floss tubes all the way back to number one and another Quilt that you showed was the big house I have that finished and hanging in my entryway. I get so many comments on that quilt. it is so striking and you have a perfect house for it. I don’t know if you’ve done it yet but it’s a beautiful quilt. I’m also a big fan of civil war fabrics and Kim deal and French general and three sisters. There’s not enough time for me to be able to do all the quilts I want to do and all the Crosstitch I wanna stitch but I keep dreaming and keep buying charts because that’s what we do. I have to say my favourite Christmas cookie is a rich buttery shortbread cookie with a little dollop of buttercream icing and a half a cherry on top it wouldn’t be Christmas if I didn’t make those plus several dozen butter tarts. I kept watching and hoping that you would do a floss tube this year. I so enjoyed it last year. I loved the simple approach to Christmas and you did it well.
I can look at haul for hours too. I've completed "Grandma's Christmas Kitchen", it is so beautiful. I had fun collecting the vintage pot holders at antique malls that had never been used. I also finished Crabapple Hills "Vintage Ice Skate", that one is out for quilting. It is stunning.
You are such a fantastic inspiration to me. We have similar likes in quilting and cross stitching. My favourite cookie to make is cranberry orange ice box cookies. 🍪
Okay, this ended up being an expensive one for me. I watched it the morning you posted it. Amazon just notified me that the paper piecing disc has arrived at my house. I realized that I don't have the Christmas quilting book you said I do (I have the sequel), so now I need to remedy that STAT. I went searching for the William Morris fabric you showed (I have the deer print already, but obviously need coordinating fabrics), and found a couple of them on sale at Hancock's. Of course that sent me looking at what else they had on sale, and boy did that add up quick! So thank you for another wonderful video; it led to some wonderful gift for ME! 😆
@@OliviaBFlosstube Oh my gosh! Everyone needs stitchy friends like us! 🤣🤣 I checked in today at my Stitch Group to see who may have some of the OOP Jan Patek books. You’re really going to love the triangulation process.
As always so enjoyable and inspirational Lori. You just putted me in the Christmas mood 🎉and wanting to look up my seasonal stitching today 😂thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next time. Warmly xx
I love your videos, everything you share and make. We have similar tastes. I have many of the same x stitch and quilting patterns. I love making cookies for the holiday season. My favorite is the peanut butter with the Hershey kiss on top. You always inspire me and make me go back and pull out some of my older projects. ❤Thank you.
Such a wonderful video! I look forward to watching your channel. Lots of great patterns that I am going to search for. My favorite cookie was my Mom's sugar cut out cookies. I always had to have a Christmas tree. She decorated them beautifully and you almost hated to eat it!! Thanks for sharing all you do!
I always enjoy your videos. My favorite Christmas cookies are decorated sugar cookies. They are not my favorite to eat but to decorate. I have a huge collection of cookies cutter for all seasons so it's not just fun to decorate cookies for Christmas. PS I live in Eugene.
Loved your video! So many goodies you found! My favorite Christmas cookie is orange cranberry cookie. These cookies smell like an old fashioned. Christmas.
What a wonderful flosstube! I have several of those Crabapple Hill quilt patterns. Makes me want to get them out. I have started Christmas stitching-ornaments for my 2 girls and 6 grandkids. I have 2 1/2 to go. I’m doing Mill Hills this year. Happy stitching!❤
Absolutely awesome video! Everything you shared is everything that I love too. Cross stitch, quilting, embroidery and wool appliqué and every combination of these needle crafts. The fabric you shared is going to make some gorgeous quilts. I am amazed by what you find at your habitat store, in my area of Minnesota there is nothing that even comes close. Snowman Garland is a favorite of mine, along with many others. Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃🍁
Hi Lori - Love all your video's. I've gone back and have watched every single one of them. My favorite cookie is from a 1972 Better Homes and Gardens magazine called Orange Drop Cookies. They have been our family favorite since then. Always enjoy your video's & get a lot of inspiration from them. Thanks & Happy Thanksgiving.
@@carolsmiarowski704 Oh wow! How cool is that?!? I’m going to have to look up to see if that cookie recipe is online and give it a try! Happy Thanksgiving!
Okay…. Hi Neighbor!! I have Hibernation Day started too - one of my oldest wips. Think I’ll haul it out and get going on it. You are inspirational to me in how much you get accomplished. I have the embroidery done for Over the River - think I’ll get going on that too. ❤. Happy Thanksgiving! Loved it all!!
Wow, your videos are always so inspiring Lori!! Don’t you just love to sit down and go through your WIPs and kitted up projects as well as cross stitch and quilting patterns? I love your wool applique table topper; it is so pretty. I looked for the tiny stocking pattern #31 that you mentioned, and I found it on EBay but they are asking $90 for it!! I loo forward to your next video to see what you have decided to work on. Happy stitching and quilting………………
I always await your videos, Happy when you come on the screen. Today was wonderful , I like the mix. My favorite cookie is the Pecan Snowball, I have quilted since 1978, I have been a weaver, spinner. knitter, crochet, doll and bear maker and Crabapple patterns with crayons. I had my own pre school for 20 years, 1990 to 2010, then retired I spent the next five years designing wool appliqué patterns. I was in Temecula California in a shop called The Wool Lady and great fun Closed now..Moved from California to Nevada in 2018 started watching U tube during the Covid time and that is when I started Cross Stitching ,the end of 2021, Blessed to be 85 years young. Fighting the loss of my eye sight, so hurry I must. Thanks again for bringing so much pleasure.
Ohh my gosh! What a wonderful time you’ve had!!! You’ve been living the dream!! I bought my fist spinning wheel this year, but haven’t had time to sit and devote to it yet, I have a small heddle loom, but a floor one is on my bucket list. Miniature bear making is also on my list, and I just received a book with different patterns. Do all the things! Wishing you many more years of the same. 🤗
My very favorite Christmas cookie would be the old fashioned oatmeal with raisins. I so enjoy your utube channel. Your work is just beautiful. Thank you , Dona in Bend 🦃🎄🧵🪡🎃
Such a fun video!!! Amazing collection of patterns and books!!! Gorgeous fabrics and wips!!! Of course your quilting is just perfection!!! Favorite cookie for the season…oatmeal but with the red and green m&ms. Stay warm and stitch/quilt/embroider away!!
Of course I loved your video. So much eye candy. You are one of my favorite people to watch even though you cost me money in buying stuff I didn’t know I needed. Happy Thanksgiving and hope you get to start many Christmas projects.
Your recent stitching looks great. So much goodness. I appreciate the variety you show and the time it takes to gather all of your goods to show. So much inspiration. One of my favorite holiday cookies is eggnog biscotti. I’m off to look on Etsy to see what Can be found.
@@WendyDicranian Oh, I might have to ask you to share that recipe! I love a good biscotti. I used to make almond biscotti every year to give out with dipped spoons for my office mates.
Great video,loved all the stitching and beautiful quilts,all your stickers are fun! We are heading into Summertime here in NZ it’s been a long time coming,Thanks for stitching and stay warm, 🇳🇿🪡❤
Your photography is drop dead gorgeous! You are a pro! So very talented. I'm going back to watch your last Christmas vlog! I'm so inspired by you. I'm dying to try wool embroidery. I purchased several books, but I just found a kit I love. It's a pear ornament. I wanted a kit to start to get the feel of❤
Wool embroidery is so lovely! I bet the kit you picked out is gorgeous. Wool is so forgiving! Photography was a passion of mine for many many years. My favorite camera has needed repair for a long time, so I’m trying to learn to use my iPhone for things. I do miss being able to photograph nature up close.
Hello, you are stitching is beautiful and I love all your patterns. My favorite Christmas cookies are Russian tea cakes. some people call them snowball cookies Christmas cookies love them.🤶
Love ❤ love❤ love your FT and random order works for me!! I too am first a quilter and do loads of wool applique and look forward to taking my first rug hooking class in December. I realizes that I have several of those Needlove books didn't realize the designers, no wonder I love them so much! Thank you for all your inspiration and now ai need to find that beautiful William Morris Xmas fabric! I am not a baker but I do make my Dad's favorite cookie to send to him, spice bars made with boxed mince meat and they are DELISH!
My favourite holiday cookie is a butter shortbread. Thank you so many stitcheries, quilts and cross stitch patterns. The inspiration oozing from your floss tube is amazing.
Have i ever told you how much I enjoy your flosstube 😅?? I watched this twice ❣️ You do have wonderful collections - thanks for sharing and the inspiration for needlework 🪡🧵. Happy stitching 🕯️☕🕯️
Another inspirational video as usual, wrote down notes and have to have some of that Cotswold Christmas fabric. Stunning for sure. I think I am ready to start Christmas/Holiday/Winter projects and need to dig them out this weekend. I make the ordinary chocolate chip cookies for my grandson to have at college for him and the baseball team, funny my youngest son loves this recipe without the chips, maybe the brown sugar…😂
@@debbiereynolds9276 Isn’t that Cotswald fabric wonderful? I like using the chocolate chip cookie recipe base for other cookies as well. I believe my recipe says you can substitute chopped Spanish peanuts. That would be great with butterscotch as well.
Lori ❤ fabulous inspiration! I like your idea about starting. I was thinking the same thing. So I started Quarter Christmas II. & doing one red thread.I am using Lisa's colors. And you showed 3 that I am going to start. Thank you for all your wonderful projects. Have a Happy Thanksgiving ❤
Love all your haul and stash! Makes me want to go thru mine stash and see what kind of trouble I could get into......LOL I too will be ordering the Brenda Henning triangulations and give it a try. My favorite cookie is Jumbo Crispy cookies! I do enjoy a good cookie. Thanks and take care
Just loved all your quilts and cross stitch work. My favorite cookie that I made growing up and with my kids and now with my grandkids is called gingerbread teddy bear cookies. They are so cute and tasty. You would add chocolate chips for the eyes and buttons. They are a little detail with the size of the legs,arms, face and body and the muzzle because you make different size balls and smash them to form a teddy bear . Then make a bow tie with icing around the neck.
@@kattavares1959 Oh how cute that sounds! My only grandchild has become a teenager, but she loves to bake and still has enough little girl in her to appreciate decorating and fun Christmas stuff.
Well, well, well -- way to enable me again 😊. Ordered the Brenda Henning triangulations and now I need to make cookies. My favorite cookie is white chocolate cranberry cookies. Yum! Thanks so much for taking the time to keep me stitching and quilting ❤😂❤😂
@@RustRibbonsQuilts 🤣🤣🤣 Turn round is fair play! You’re really going to enjoy using the triangulations. they make life so much easier. Hope you are doing well! Stitch on!
It's always going to be a great day for me when I receive my notification that Texstylust has a new video up!!! LOVE YA!!! Could you please share the pattern or patterns for the Blackbird Designs Stockings that you are stitching in red? Thank you so much!
Loved your post. So many beautiful projects you have done or started. I made Crabapple Hill Grandma’s kitchen. I will be posting on instagrams soon. Also I’m working on bunny Hill snowman quilt in red French General. You give me so much inspiration! Thanks so much!
Oh my goodness! You are the “enabling” queen! 💕 Another wonderful video! And a wealth of information for holiday stitching. I love Crabapple Hill she touches my redwork heart. Each Christmas I make a family favorite cherry cordial style cookie that’s baked with a maraschino cherry covered with a drizzle of icing chocolaty deliciousness. Happy Holidays Lori!! 🎄🪡🎄🪡🎄🪡🎄🪡🎄
So many beautiful things to stitch! The next time I’m in Sisters I need to visit Habitat. I’m in my sixties and now I would love to try quilting. I have a quilt that my great grandmother pieced together that I need to try and finish. I’m thinking it was done in the late 1800’s so I need to practice before getting started. I have a few traditional cookie recipes passed down I need to make every year for my family, the favorite cookies are toffee bars and molasses. Thank you for sharing so many patterns!
I very much enjoyed seeing all of the projects that you've been working on and all the beautiful Christmas things you have kitted up. So many pretty things and you've inspired my Christmas stitching indeed.
Always enjoy your cross stitching n quilting. Mom used to bake Christmas cookies like mad, usually over 100 dozen each season. I surely miss that time.
I love Christmas cookies, but I don’t have one favorite! Rosemary lemon shortbread, lemon bars, Hello Dolly’s, peanut butter blossoms 😊I don’t make them much anymore!
Hi Lori ...watching your videos just brings such calm and joy to me. Are you going to have time to do Vlogmas this year? I enjoyed every day of it last year. I know you mentioned your kids are coming for Christmas, so I understand if you won't have time. So happy you liked the goodies I sent. I think we have very similar tastes so I had a feeling you would like what I sent. Thanks for all the inspiration and enabling you send our way. Looking forward to your next video. Hugs to the kitties. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Hi Lori, you are so inspiring. After your last video I started a red thread a day and I am loving it, I stitch it at bedtime and it is so relaxing after a busy day. We have had our first snow today here in Scotland. Please would you do xmas flogmass that you did last year it was so looked forward to by me.👍🏴🍪🍪
I love all of your wonderful ideas for quilts and cross stitch…. I got lots of inspiration for this holiday season…. My favorite cookie is a sugar cookie with confectionery sugar icing…. Yum! I’m looking forward to your next video!
Great projects. Love that quilt. The stockings are so pretty. Will you be doing a Christmas vlog this year? I so enjoyed it, & the music too. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Marilyn
If you’re asking regarding to conversion to a red house, it’s Classic Colorworks Cherry Cobbler, and you’ll need two for 36 or 40ct. If you’re doing 28 or 32ct, probably more.
Your videos are always so inspirational. I find myself wanting to stitch everything you show. When you say one red thread is that before or after separating the floss into the six separate strands?
@@chriswashburn9039 So sorry for the confusion! One red thread means one length of thread that you would use to stitch regardless of how many strands. I use about 18 to 20 inches long. So, if you are doing 28 or 32 count you would use two strands of floss as long as you usually cut. For 36 to 40 count one strand. Hope this helps!
I think I have the Blessings Be Thine Blackbird pattern, but I looked and it is not in my Peppermint and Holly Blackbird book. Can you see if it is from a different book? Seeing you do it makes me want to get started on it! I just love all the patterns and projects that you are working on because our tastes are very similar.
Love this video and all of your projects. I have the pattern for Over the River and Through the Woods. What type of fabric did you embroider on for that pattern and how many strands of floss did you use? I have started it but am not happy with it and feel like I need to restart it. Do you use some type of iron on on the back of the embroidery when you are done or while you are stitching? I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you!
I do baste a light muslin backing on my fabric prior to embroidering. For that particular quilt, I just used a Kona cotton solid with a muslin backing. You could use a non-fusible interfacing as well. I’m not sure I would use a fusible as it might make needling the embroidery more challenging. However, I might give it a try just to see. I use a Morgan hoop to embroider. It makes it so much easier. I will try to show that on my next floss tube so you can see.
I emailed you a few days ago. I know you are probably busy with the holiday but I just wanted to make sure you got my email and that it did not end up in your trash folder. Please let me know if you received it. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving. ❤
@@maryannebenoit3488 Greetings! Sorry, I did not find your email! I checked all the usual places it could have landed. Can you resend it? Double check the spelling of my email address. It’s not spelled in the usual way, and your device may have auto-corrected it. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Hi Lori, I love your style and your home. I would love to see more of it when you have it decorated for Christmas.

Ohhh, jumbo crispy cookies sound good! You will really like the Triangulations!
Such a delightful video , ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just loved all your quilts and cross stitch work. My favorite cookie that I made growing up and with my kids and now with my grandkids is called gingerbread teddy bear cookies. They are so cute and tasty. You would add chocolate chips for the eyes and buttons. They are a little detail with the size of the legs,arms, face and body and the muzzle because you make different size balls and smash them to form a teddy bear . Then make a bow tie with icing around the neck.
@@kattavares1959 Oh how cute that sounds! My only grandchild has become a teenager, but she loves to bake and still has enough little girl in her to appreciate decorating and fun Christmas stuff.
Thank you for another beautiful Floss Tube ❤️
Great video. I have most of the Needlelove books. Started collecting them years ago. I have used them over and over. Enjoy yours.
Well, well, well -- way to enable me again 😊. Ordered the Brenda Henning triangulations and now I need to make cookies. My favorite cookie is white chocolate cranberry cookies. Yum! Thanks so much for taking the time to keep me stitching and quilting ❤😂❤😂
@@RustRibbonsQuilts 🤣🤣🤣 Turn round is fair play! You’re really going to enjoy using the triangulations. they make life so much easier. Hope you are doing well! Stitch on!
Please say you are going to do the Count down to Christmas like last year! I so enjoyed it!
@@sonyafisk8177 I’m still considering it, but I will take your request into account!
It's always going to be a great day for me when I receive my notification that Texstylust has a new video up!!! LOVE YA!!! Could you please share the pattern or patterns for the Blackbird Designs Stockings that you are stitching in red? Thank you so much!
Sure! All the stocking are in the Home for the Holidays book.
@@texstylust Thank you!!!
Loved your post. So many beautiful projects you have done or started. I made Crabapple Hill Grandma’s kitchen. I will be posting on instagrams soon. Also I’m working on bunny Hill snowman quilt in red French General. You give me so much inspiration! Thanks so much!
@@ShirlHubbs Sounds like we have the same great taste!
Oh my goodness! You are the “enabling” queen! 💕 Another wonderful video! And a wealth of information for holiday stitching. I love Crabapple Hill she touches my redwork heart. Each Christmas I make a family favorite cherry cordial style cookie that’s baked with a maraschino cherry covered with a drizzle of icing chocolaty deliciousness. Happy Holidays Lori!!

@@cyndythomas7217 oh my gosh that sounds amazing! Now I’m doubting asking for cookie types, I’m going to be so hungry!
Thanks for sharing! Your work is lovely. Happy Thanksgiving. I love a good cooky or cookies!
@@carlarigel252 Me too!
I love, love, LOVE your videos! ❤❤
Gosh! Thanks so much!
So many beautiful things to stitch! The next time I’m in Sisters I need to visit Habitat. I’m in my sixties and now I would love to try quilting. I have a quilt that my great grandmother pieced together that I need to try and finish. I’m thinking it was done in the late 1800’s so I need to practice before getting started.
I have a few traditional cookie recipes passed down I need to make every year for my family, the favorite cookies are toffee bars and molasses.
Thank you for sharing so many patterns!
I think you are going to love quilting! My Son’s favorite are molasses as well!
I very much enjoyed seeing all of the projects that you've been working on and all the beautiful Christmas things you have kitted up. So many pretty things and you've inspired my Christmas stitching indeed.
@@lorrainebergstrom9391 Yay! I’m so glad you liked it.
Always enjoy your cross stitching n quilting. Mom used to bake Christmas cookies like mad, usually over 100 dozen each season. I surely miss that time.
@@teresamc521 I miss doing that as well!
I love Christmas cookies, but I don’t have one favorite! Rosemary lemon shortbread, lemon bars, Hello Dolly’s, peanut butter blossoms 😊I don’t make them much anymore!
Hi Judy! Girl, you rattled off a couple of cookies I’m gonna have to look into closer! Never heard of Hello Dollys!
@ which ones;I’ll send you the recipes! BTW loved everything you showed!
The Rosemary, lemon shortbread and the Hello Dolly’s! Thank you so much!
Love your videos...so much inspiration!! Thank you for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours🤎🧡🦃
Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
Hi Lori ...watching your videos just brings such calm and joy to me. Are you going to have time to do Vlogmas this year? I enjoyed every day of it last year. I know you mentioned your kids are coming for Christmas, so I understand if you won't have time. So happy you liked the goodies I sent. I think we have very similar tastes so I had a feeling you would like what I sent. Thanks for all the inspiration and enabling you send our way. Looking forward to your next video. Hugs to the kitties. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃
Hi Lori, you are so inspiring. After your last video I started a red thread a day and I am loving it, I stitch it at bedtime and it is so relaxing after a busy day. We have had our first snow today here in Scotland. Please would you do xmas flogmass that you did last year it was so looked forward to by me.👍🏴🍪🍪
I’ll do my best!!!
You are amazing! All the projects you create. Fabulous! Happy Thanksgiving. I wonder if you would ever demonstrate how to do wool appliqué?
It is definitely on my list of things to show! Happy Thanksgiving!
I loved your floss tube today! As I always do of course. The pin cushion is lovely. I love making a cookie called almond cookies for the holidays.
@@darlenewiebe7577 Sounds wonderful! Is it a type of butter cookie with almond?
So many things to look at. I love your videos. My favorite Christmas cookie is all of them! But a really like Russian tea cakes.
I love those!
I love all of your wonderful ideas for quilts and cross stitch…. I got lots of inspiration for this holiday season…. My favorite cookie is a sugar cookie with confectionery sugar icing…. Yum! I’m looking forward to your next video!
@@loveonaneedle9604 It’s one of my favorites too! Especially with buttercream frosting.
Great projects.
Love that quilt.
The stockings are so pretty.
Will you be doing a Christmas vlog this year?
I so enjoyed it, & the music too.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Marilyn
@@marilynferlitsch2003 Thanks Marilyn! I’m thinking about it, but I’m still not sure.
I made Cranberry orange Bread yesterday! 😋
@ Yum!!
What is the red combination for Christmasside at holly house.? I can’t wait to see you work on it. Take care. Ann
If you’re asking regarding to conversion to a red house, it’s Classic Colorworks Cherry Cobbler, and you’ll need two for 36 or 40ct. If you’re doing 28 or 32ct, probably more.
Your videos are always so inspirational. I find myself wanting to stitch everything you show.
When you say one red thread is that before or after separating the floss into the six separate strands?
I have also wondered about this! No one I have watched has ever said.
@@chriswashburn9039 So sorry for the confusion! One red thread means one length of thread that you would use to stitch regardless of how many strands. I use about 18 to 20 inches long. So, if you are doing 28 or 32 count you would use two strands of floss as long as you usually cut. For 36 to 40 count one strand. Hope this helps!
@@texstylust thank you…..
I think I have the Blessings Be Thine Blackbird pattern, but I looked and it is not in my Peppermint and Holly Blackbird book. Can you see if it is from a different book? Seeing you do it makes me want to get started on it! I just love all the patterns and projects that you are working on because our tastes are very similar.
I’ll pull the books out for an upcoming video and take a look!
@texstylust Thanks!
Love this video and all of your projects. I have the pattern for Over the River and Through the Woods. What type of fabric did you embroider on for that pattern and how many strands of floss did you use? I have started it but am not happy with it and feel like I need to restart it. Do you use some type of iron on on the back of the embroidery when you are done or while you are stitching? I would greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you!
I do baste a light muslin backing on my fabric prior to embroidering. For that particular quilt, I just used a Kona cotton solid with a muslin backing. You could use a non-fusible interfacing as well. I’m not sure I would use a fusible as it might make needling the embroidery more challenging. However, I might give it a try just to see. I use a Morgan hoop to embroider. It makes it so much easier. I will try to show that on my next floss tube so you can see.
What is the name of the Blackbird design red thread stockings pattern?
@@gourmettexas It’s a series of stockings in the Home for the Holidays book.
I emailed you a few days ago. I know you are probably busy with the holiday but I just wanted to make sure you got my email and that it did not end up in your trash folder. Please let me know if you received it. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving. ❤
@@maryannebenoit3488 Greetings! Sorry, I did not find your email! I checked all the usual places it could have landed. Can you resend it? Double check the spelling of my email address. It’s not spelled in the usual way, and your device may have auto-corrected it. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
I did have the wrong email. I resent it. Hope you receive it this time. Sorry.
@ I got it!!
