Flosstube - Stalled Cross-Stitches 

Glad that you had a great weekend. It sounded like so much fun. Your gifts and the haul you bought was very nice. Can't wait to see what you stitch on next. Have a great week.

I can't believe there is anyone who doesn't watch to the end...sillies! Our irises are just fading and the honeysuckle is in the air here too. I spent many a day sipping honeysuckle nectar as a young girl. And we love to sing-a-long to songs all the time. On the road trip to Nashville in March we sang along to the radio for hours :)

Lori to bad we have to sleep! Look what we could get done!😂Laughter is great for the soul! Here's hoping this week will be better! Have a beautiful week!❤

Great video love seeing all your beautiful 🤩 stitching and hearing about the retreat. Love your haul. Have a wonderful week and happy stitching 😊🧵🪡🤗🤩

Various tulips and lilacs are blooming here. I especially love the scent from lilacs!

I have a honeysuckle bush that is now blooming, it smells so good. I also have some tulip bulbs coming up and my irises will bloom very soon. I love the spring before it gets really hot. Your goodies from the retreat were great! I love seeing the patterns and kits that people pick up, makes me want to shop for stitchy fun! Have a good weekend Lori🙂

Glad you had a wonderful time at the retreat. We have Lotus trees bloomed, Magnolia Trees blooming, Tiger Lillies are in bloom as well. Have a terrific week.

I love the smell of honeysuckle! Tulips are blooming here

The retreat and fellowship sounds awesome. I am happy that your dil was welcomed with open arms into the stitching community. 😊 stress can paralyze you and keep you from taking action. Hugs to you.

I have been binge watching the Resident as well! I stitch on my HEAD while watching, really enjoying it.

Peonies are blooming in my yard. I love their large blooms!

I loved hearing your comments about the honeysuckle. I love honeysuckle. We did the same thing when we were small, but we have honeysuckle on our fence row and we have wisteria bushes in bloom. We have clematis in bloom and we have this one tree we call it a thorn tree not sure what the real name of it is, but it has clusters of white blooms hanging like grapes from the tree. You’ve never smelled anything so sweet in your life. I look forward to them every year you walk outside and you can smell them. Totally enjoyed your video today.❤

I am so glad you have another video! I loved that you all hide the flamingos ever in the shop! All I have that is really blooming are my irises but my peonies have so many buds on them right now! And, of course my hummingbird feeders are hosting bees right now! Have a great week! Retirement will be wonderful for you!

In Wyoming our lilacs are never sure if they should poke their lovely heads out or not! Our bush has leaves and buds but, sadly, those little purple darlings get a cold "bite", even in April and May! It has been in the 70s, which teases our plants, and then we'll have some chilly days and nights that just get them!

Enjoyed hearing about your weekend. The Dogwood trees along with flowering cherry trees in my neighborhood are so beautiful.

Absolutely LOVE your videos. A friend of mine was at the retreat also. What a great time you ladies had. I also subscribed to your friend’s Flosstube after learning about her through you. Your DIL will be a great addition to your family. Looking forward to seeing her again. Keep up the great work. Chris

My husband planted strawberries right outside my kitchen window. I'm loving the white little flowers that are blooming on them.

It sounds like you had a fantastic weekend, I watched your previous video and got to see your daughter-in-law and some of your table mates, they all were so sweet and seem like tons of fun. Yessss, I definitely relate to the “stall” when my mother was alive, she would often finish my ufo’s, oh how I miss that. I’m in Georgia and have Indian Hawthorne hedges and trees that the bees just love. I noticed yesterday my light pink lantana is also getting ready to bloom and my sweet olives have blooms that smell amazing. Hope you have a great day back at work.

I was out of town and missed the 24 hoc event. You all are a hoot and I can only imagine the fun in hiding in plain sight 300 tiny flamingos. My hibiscus is blooming and I have the biggest bumble bees flying around. You talking about honeysuckle took me back years, yummy and smells so good. I enjoyed stitching Christmas Tidings but had a few stalls myself. You are so close but give yourself grace, you'll get it done. Love Queen Bee and look forward to next video. Hugs &Stitches, Denise.

The more videos from you the better! What a great weekend you had, 300 flamingos hidden around the shop! I always feel happy after a “session” with you. Keep on stitching (great attitude adjuster) and enjoy your time off.

Love you back. Wonderful weekend and Kim learned to use a needle threader. So much education. 😂

Your getaway sounds lovely!!! So glad you got your spend time with stitchy friends, and have some local adventures with hubby!! Hugs ❤

Hi Lorrie! So glad to hear you had an incredible time last weekend de-stressing and stitching with good friends! The piano bar sounded awesome. Thinking about you today and hoping that your Monday went well! The Queen Bee stitch is so cute - I really want to have a bee wall! The flowers aren't blooming here quite yet but should be soon. Have an awesome week!! 💗

Hi Lori, the class with Cathy H sounds like fun. She has so many cute patterns and is a talented designer. Have a great week. TTFN

I always look forward to your videos! You are always a joy to watch. What a great weekend you had! So much fun to be had and a piano bar, that sounds like a lot of fun, everyone singing! Your spring Quaker is so very pretty! Im working on summer catch etching for my son, and I do love all the etching’s, she has designed. I have my lavenders at the moment that are blooming, bees love those! And I have a volunteer Petunia that has started to bloom. I hope your work week goes smoothly! ❤️

I have lilacs and all my bulbs bloomed. We have a bee hive high in one of our trees, believe me, they are buzzing! I love your videos.

So enjoyed your flosstube, listened while I stitched. Thanks for the company.😊

Hello from Tennessee! It was lovely stitching with you this morning! You always make my heart happy. 💙🩵💙. I've had less stitch time lately because I'm in the garden most of the day. Iris flowers are just amazing this year and my garden is overflowing. Thank you for being so generous with us. The Queen Bee pattern looks just adorable! Love you bunches

Such a great flosstube as always!! I love the queen bee pattern! My DIL has bees and gives me jars of the sweet honey. So good!!

Love seeing all of your progress each video and hearing about your plans. The Queen Bee chart is amazing . Lilacs are nice to look at my the smell is too strong for me.

Glad you had a wonderful weekend. Nice haul and happy stitching!

Cant believe you did another video so soon.. Azaleas, blackberry vines and honeysuckle are blooming here.

We had some tame blackberries at our last home that were so good. They were huge. I could put 4 berries in my hand and they would go from the bottom of my palm to the top of my middle finger. I’ve been meaning to plant some here too!

Wow it sounds like you had a fabulous weekend - how lovely. Your market choices are gorgeous. We have lots in bloom at the moment including tulips, epimediums, euphorbias, skimmia and choisya. And the marsh marigolds are a welcome splash of sunshine in the pond. But it’s really cold here in the U.K. at the moment so things may slow down a little….

So glad you had a chance to relax and enjoy stitchy friends. We have some plants blooming, but I am such a bad gardener that I don't know the names. Lol

I'm so with you on being close to retirement! My hubby and I tease that we are in our final approach with our landing gear down! It does make those hiccups at work much more irritating..lol. sounds like a fun weekend!😊

We've had daffodils and forsythia blooming here; our tulips, irises and lilacs should be out soon along with blossoming trees like the apple trees and such. 🪡👠

Just found you!❤ Many designs you shared are recent purchases for me as well. I must be awful, I want to stitch so badly but don't bec a use my hubby feels he has to sit next to me. LOL. When kids were growing up, the bathroom was my office! I might have to do that again, privacy, quiet, and solitude. I enjoy your entire Flosstube. Anxious for more. Thank You ♥️

Fun video. Just love your passion for this art and the community of cross stitchers. Oh and I understand about being stalled with your stitching. But we know, it doesn’t last real long. You’ll get your Quaker finished and the beautiful bird piece. I’m from the Midwest so flowers in bloom usually doesn’t happen until the end of May. However, my Christmas cactus is blooming for the third time since Thanksgiving! I’m loving it. Glad you had fun at the retreat.

The only thing i have blooming is a couple tulips, and some scillia. Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend.

So happy to hear that you had a great retreat. My red bud tree is just about to bloom. It looks like a big cotton candy!

Happiness looks gorgeous on you! So glad you enjoyed your trip! ~Amy

Sounds like a fun weekend. 😊 nothing growing but weeds in our yard right now lol the pups will eat anything we plant 🤦‍♀️😂 orange blossoms definitely smelling good in neighborhood 👍

I just purchased a couple of blackberry plants for my son in law to plant. They live on a farm so we already get other berries. My Lily of the Valley has bloomed and smells so sweet. Excited to get flowers for my containers this year.

I haven't been able to view floss tubes much lately as life has gotten in the way. It's such a joy to watch your flosstube you are inspiring. ❤

I have honey bee's. They are so interesting and fun. I have a few wild flowers the Redbud trees bloomed early. But I also have my vegetable garden, well what hasn't drowned. I'm in Central Texas and have been having record flooding

Your retreat sounds wonderful. We have a few flowers blooming now but not many. We had a late freeze and our butterfly magnolia was affected but our redbud tree just finished blooming. None of the tulips here made it thru the freeze. I can't wait to plant my flower pots in two weeks. Love the queen bee and garden pollinators patterns.

I’m always so happy to see you’ve another video up. I watched you for a long time. You do beautiful work and have a lovely spirit about you. I live in Wilmington NC we’ve just finished with the Azaleas, strawberries are being picked and blueberries should be soon.

I had so much fun! I'm so thankful you invited me

Hi Lori - new subscriber here. Love that wall of beautiful stitching behind you. Sounds like you had a great retreat! I need to go to one myself someday! Did not even know they were a thing and I have been stitching for over 45 years, but then I just recently found flosstube lol!

So glad you had such an amazing time. Our Dogwood & Redbud trees are blooming right now here in south central Indiana.

Thank you for another fun video! Happy Stitching! - Valerie

Fun video, glad your getaway was fun. I guess I could sing out loud in a crowded noisy place. We have lots of various Cactus blooming, and I have potted annual flowers (snapdragons, pansy, petunias...). My daffodils bloomed last month.

I watched the video with your friends and daughter-in-law so I had to come check you out. My dogwood blooms are gone but I have a few sad iris blooming. I don't have time to are for flowers because I'm always stitching. Lol

Loved hearing about your retreat! My irises are blooming!

Fun video. I just attended the Stitch west retreat in Ogden Utah last week ( week before.? Hmm I don’t know .?very local to me this time 15 min. Away.Primrose Cottage was the designers they are so Wonderful we had so much fun.They came around individually to our tables as they could. So o fun Take care.......

I’m so glad you were able to laugh and de-stess with friends this weekend. It’s been a number of years since I went on a retreat..it was a quilting one..but I still have such good memories of stitching and laughing and eating together. Definitely a way to de-stress😊 It’s wonderful your new daughter-in-law is stitching and could go with you! We are in central Washington state so we are just getting into Spring as far as flowers blooming. I still have tulips, though they are on their way out of and I saw a big bumblebee on one a few days ago. I have lots of flower seeds going in my greenhouse so I really hope to have lots of color around my house this summer. I hope your week brings joy instead of headaches this week! 🤗 Suzette

I do not have anything blooming in my yard yet. How sad is that!! The lilac and peony will bloom sometime this Spring.

I am having trouble stitching, too. Lots of distractions, Spring Fever, juvenile squirrels' antics outside, wild birds etc. I am going to try to stitch while I watch/listen this.

Hello there :) as always, very warm video from you :) here in Lithuania we have now blooming tulips :) and hyacints and they are soooooooo smelly :)

Enjoyed seeing you last weekend and enjoyed meeting Cheyenne as well!

I just found your channel and really enjoyed hearing about your retreat. Queen bee is a fun chart, for sure!

I have a blooming Lilac bush that is the prettiest color of purple.

It sounds like a fun retreat!

Always enjoy your videos!

I also have a "stalling" issue. I've been working on this massive piece ( 226,600 stitches) and I've got about 20,000 stitches to go and I am finding it hard to stay focused. But I really want to finish it this year so I am trying to push through. So I can really sympathize with you!

I’m so excited for the HOD class in June!!! I am going to start my class piece this week 💕💕💕

I think I counted five of the market releases that are ones that you purchased also. I’m also stitching the “Mend” block party for the June finishing. 👯 See you next time! ❤

Like you, I often stall close to a finish. There is something deep in my subconscious causing it, I think, because I do it with other things, too. I have to force myself to finish, which feels more like work, but I am so happy with it when finally done. Strange…

Wowzer!! 👏👏👏👏👏❤️

You just made miss my honeysuckle vine so much! I had one when I lived in Texas and just loved it! Now I live in Florida and all I have flowering now are bougainvillea bushes. Very pretty but no scent !☹☹

I hope your work calms down!

My pepper plants are just now blooming.

👍

🥰🧵🪡💞

Thanks for sharing...always fun watching...please take care...yes, I have flowers in pots and there everywhere...thanks...please take care

So glad you had such a wonderful time at your retreat. Someday I hope to be able to attend a retreat. Looking forward to your next video. As kids we used to do the same with the honeysuckle flowers . It was a refreshing little treat the flavor they have, Happy stitching.
