We did get a Turtle Tidbit and I learned about hibernation! Such fun and beautiful projects ladies! The FFO’s, finishes and Wips by both of you. You do keep us motivated and I love it. I’m late to Flosstube this month so you are home from your mini trip. Hope you had lots of fun. Happy stitching🪡
Thank you Sandy. Each floss tube needs a Turtle Tidbit even if I have to start the ball rolling. We will have a recap of our latest trip on the next episode but needless to say, it was a great time.
I so wish I could join your stitching group and quilting, you gals are definitely in my wheelhouse but alas, MA is bit far to join in. I will have to settle for your videos. Happy Shopping!!!!
Hi ladies! Love your floss tube videos. The silver needle circle of friends is a club, every other month or so. They are about to start sign up for next year. It's a fun club! I'm in Tulsa. Also, your turtle info is great! I love watching that too.
Thanks for watching, Deborah! I used to not like zippers, but when I made my first project bag, it wasn't that hard so now I don't mind them! Give it a try!
Thank you, Marilyn. I have a brother-in-law that lives in Bloomington so we usually get down there a couple times a year. We used to live in Bloomington when we were first married.
I had the feeling a Jeannie and LeAnn video was coming!! ❤ just LOVE all of your projects. Jeannie, the round Halloween project is gorgeous, and such a wonderful finish with your husband's handiwork. 👍 LeAnn, the blue sampler is going to be gorgeous! Happy and safe travel, ladies! 😄. Looking forward to your Hawk Run projects. 😊
I finished happy Halloween and mounted it in the bat (mirror) frame from Joanne’s. I didn’t even notice that the landscape was not even … I’m obviously not precise in my framing! 😆
LeAnn and Jeannie, What a fun visit this FT was! I loved seeing your finishes. I sure wish I lived close enough to go on an outing with you. You always have such great finds. Your discussion of sampler verses was interesting. I purposely choose samplers without verses. Most of them are just too maudlin. IMHO. Jeannie's bags are beautiful. I have been on a bag kick lately too. LeAnn, I am anxious to see your bags. Happy stitching. Best, K
Nice to hear from you, Karen! I wish you could come along on one of our trips, also! I'm sure we would have such a great time! I just got my blue and white fabric. Just waiting on the patterns! Happy Thanksgiving!
Great to see you ladies! I can honestly say I wasn’t real excited to see your opening picture…there is no snow yet in northern Minnesota. The finishes you both shared are wonderful as always. I enjoyed seeing your haul, the vintage finds are so fun. I love the pincushions, such great ideas using the little containers. I always love seeing the quilts too, always inspiring. Have a great time stitching with your friends! 🌻
Me, Too, Aimee! Sometimes I think it would be nice to sleep through the winter, but then I would have less time to stitch and quilt! Thanks for watching!
So good to see another flosstube. I enjoy your show and tell for both cross stitch, quilting, and every now and then your wool applique. Have a great week!
I am always inspired with your videos. You find the cutest patterns and do great finishing. You are so prolific in your making. Thanks for sharing. Have a good time on your next road trip.
You guys are great. First time I was lucky enough to see you. I am in Naples Florida so the turtle was very interesting to hear. people often have to stop traffic and get them off the road I will try to catch you all more often
I always enjoy your Flosstubes. Jeannie, I stitched Modern Folk Embroidery , Real Comfort and love it. That new Plum Street chart is pretty, but too much for me. Have fun on your travels!!!
Dang, now I have an Adam’s family ear worm, do do do do, snap snap….. always happy when you show up😍look forward to seeing you next weekend. Beautiful finishes!
Can’t believe the snow. This has been a whacky fall! Love your Happy Halloween finish. George decorated for Martha turned out great. Jeannie, how did your son fare through the hurricanes? Love seeing you two.
Great video ladies and I love seeing all your purchases. You have a beautiful Autumn pattern at the start of your video and I was wondering if you can let me know the designer please? Can I ask, what do you both do with all your finished Quilts?
Hi Lucinda! I will have Jeannie answer you about the Autumn pattern as that was hers. I hang alot of my quilts, big and small. I also have some old cabinets with glass doors that I fold them and put them in. I try to decorate with them wherever I can. I just remodeled my guest bathroom, and I plan on making 3 quilts to hang in there along with 2 cross stitch samplers. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for watching us. The Autumn sampler is from The Prairie Schooler, book no. 66 called Autumn Samplers. It contains 3 charts I use my quilts pretty much like Leann. On beds, on walls, in cabinets, on ladders or as gifts.
Jeannie and LeAnn...thanks for sharing such a delightful posting...I would love you to be my neighbors...so excited to hear of your plans...best wishes ❤❤
Ohhhhhhh I’m soooo excited to see you two!!! 😃🙌🏼🥳 B-e-a-u-t-I-f-u-l projects 😍. I almost wish I lived in MN so we could be neighbors…my niece lives in Rochester…🥰
@@jeanniebergdahl1901 I can’t travel anymore because of a bad couple of back surgeries and foot surgery, but I would sure love to go see my niece and stop in on you two!!! And I live in Central Indiana. 💞
Hi Ladies! Love your stitched pieces! Question: Where do you get your your saw dust to stuff your pillows? Do you have to add anything in your pillow to keep the saw dust in the pillow? Thanks! Take care!!😊
We have a friend who has a saw mill and he is saving some for me. And I don’t do anything except sew up the opening while trying to keep the saw dust in the pillow.
Hi Patricia! I buy my sawdust on Etsy. I put a fusible stabilizer on the back of both pieces before I sew the two pieces together. I leave a hole in the bottom of the pinkeep and fill it as full as I can. Then I whip stitch the bottom to close it. The stabilizer keeps the sawdust in.
Hi ladies. Quick question to Leann. I have not heard you say anything in awhile, but how is your sweet husband doing? Have a great weekend to you both. I LOVE your video intro. Such beautiful stitching. You can keep the snow! Hugs
Thank you for asking, Cheryl! He is doing well. No shaking in his hands. He has stiffness, which is from his Parkinson's, but he's doing well. I will give everyone an update on our next video.
Sorry I missed the St Judes fund-raiser. My son's brain tumour was sent to St Judes as part of a study & definitive diagnosis in 2009. At the time there was no research being done on childhood brain tumours in Australia. Here we are in 2024 and , despite astronomical increases in the incidence of brain tumours in children, there is only 1 small study being done. Here the government gives funding to the Cancer Council that, unfortunately, gives 87% of it the breast cancer research. Children are our future, they deserve the help too. It's so bad for other cancers in Australia that if a researcher wants to trial a drug discovered by a breast cancer researcher (fully funded with public money), they are charged full price for the privilege. My son survived with quite a few ongoing issues but was very upset his 'hitch-hiker ' got to go to the USA and he didn't. 😊 Thought there was no turtle tidbits! Very interesting non turtle tidbit Ladies ❤

Great finishes! Love your videos and we got a little turtle talk. Thank you!
And thank you for watching and commenting. We gotta have turtle tidbits!
Just what I needed today. A nice visit with friends. ❤️
Thank you Missy. Stitching and/or Talking stitching is a daily requirement, in my opinion.
Junk Bonanza is such a great idea as a place to find things for FFOs. Now I’m excited to go in December!
It is so much fun, but it’s also a hunt and sometimes hard to visualize uses for the “junk”.
I so wish I could join your stitching group and quilting, you gals are definitely in my wheelhouse but alas, MA is bit far to join in. I will have to settle for your videos. Happy Shopping!!!!
Thanks Judy. But if you are ever in our neck of the woods, let us know.
Thanks so much for another wonderful video. I always enjoy turtle tidbits' !
Congratulations Ladies on your fully finishes! Thank you for sharing ladies. Wonderful video.
Thank you, Linda! I don't get as many finishes as Jeannie, so I'm always excited when I get something done!
Hi ladies! Love your floss tube videos. The silver needle circle of friends is a club, every other month or so. They are about to start sign up for next year. It's a fun club! I'm in Tulsa. Also, your turtle info is great! I love watching that too.
Thanks for explaining about the Silver Needle Club. You have a great LNS.
@jeanniebergdahl1901 I work just down the street from them. I spend way too much time perusing their sale tables. 😆
@ that might be a fun “problem” to deal with sometimes.
You two are a treasure 😊. Always look forward to & enjoy your floss-tube. Keep them coming “girls”
Thanks Mary!
Always enjoy yr videos! Jeannie yr bags are beautiful! For some reason zippers intimidate me! Happy Stitching Ladies! ❤
Thanks for watching, Deborah! I used to not like zippers, but when I made my first project bag, it wasn't that hard so now I don't mind them! Give it a try!

Always fun watching you two. ❤ I wish I could lose my appetite like the turtles. Ha ha😂
Me, Too, Aimee! Sometimes I think it would be nice to sleep through the winter, but then I would have less time to stitch and quilt! Thanks for watching!
You ladies are so talented and get so much done. I love the bags Jeannie made.

Great finishes gals.

Ohhhhhhh I’m soooo excited to see you two!!! 😃🙌🏼🥳 B-e-a-u-t-I-f-u-l projects 😍. I almost wish I lived in MN so we could be neighbors…my niece lives in Rochester…🥰

Yes. I use Aleene’s tacky glue.
@ I’ve glued chenille but not tic rac. Can hardly wait to try it. Thank you

Jeannie, what is the title of the tote with zipper book called and author? You enabled me! Perfect for nurses for a gift
The book is called “Easy to Make Totes with Zippers” by Cindy Taylor Oates from Taylor Made Designs. Hope this helps.
