Join a crafty middle-aged woman who juggles career, college, family, and life while discovering what craftiness to get into next. She's typically in the middle of some project (or 10) and planning the next one (or 100). There are very few crafty things that haven't been tried in this Craft Cove (looking at you, knitting). The "man of the house" is very supportive and understands crafting may not be as cheap as therapy, but he doesn't want to visit his lovely bride in prison. There's a Shiba Inu, which you are sure to hear from time to time, and a Siamese cat that may enter the picture.
p.s. Yes, the channel began as BCG Flosstube, but it was changed it to her name. So, if you watch older videos you'll hear me say BCG Flosstube. BCG stands for Beautiful Chicken Girl, because the best fried chicken comes out of my kitchen and we all know the way to a man's heart is through his stomach... that fried chicken "sealed the deal" in 2006.

Welcome!
Hey Lora I wanted to wish a great succes for the quilt show. It looks like there are going to be amazing quilts displayed. Hope you can show us pictures of the show, since we cannot all be there. Best of luck if there is a best of show, maybe one of your quilts will win. Have a great weekend.
Thank you! You too!
Hey Lora, I love the quilt ,it's looking pretty good. I am a bit behind this week, I had a little accident yesterday afternoon. In front of the Walmart, I missed the step and banged my face on the ciment.. You should see the damage it's not pretty. But this to shall pass and I will work on my quilt this weekend. Love the t-shirt. I am still learning new ways of making my appliques. It turns out so much better than I expected. So thank you again for all your help. Have a great week end and take care of yourself.
Oh goodness!!! I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you heal quickly. Thanks for watching.
Yes, the quilts were finished: czcams.com/video/om9XfgWuCdQ/video.html
What type of iron do you use? I have been looking to buy a new iron and I like the look of yours.
I am using a Durabilt vintage iron that I found on ebay! It's probably older than me. ;)
Beautiful job! I noticed you are just straight stitching these pieces on (the applique). Right? Not zig zag or blanket stitch? So pretty - all of it! I know this is slow work, so thanks for showing so much. Am wondering about the long arming you took to your brother a bit a ago for a weekend to work on. Did I miss a flosstube? Did you show us what you did?
I think your confusion is my fault.. >I posted the video about going quilting after I went. Ha! I showed the quilts in Flosstube 62: czcams.com/video/om9XfgWuCdQ/video.html
Yes you use your time wisely. I am using the tips you give. Thank you
You are so welcome! Thank you.
Lora, I love how efficient you are with your time and how you share your thought process with the layout of the shapes and the places to adhere so you can lift and sew 🧵 underneath. Your quilt is coming along quickly. On Saturday I completed rows 4-5 and I am so happy with it. Border shapes just need to be ironed and glued to backgrounds which I still p need to cut a lot more. Thank you for hosting because I have moved this quilt to Thursday nights to work on. I started to sew my blocks by row so they can get done that way. I think with this one the book was a must for me to do it by rows. I often wonder why people don’t sew that way. Thanks for the encouragement to get this quilt completed with your videos! Hugs ~Martha San Jose, California
You are so welcome. I'm so happy you are making progress! Thanks for watching. :)
Wow Lora!!! Excellent video! I'm almost done with the Tannenbaum quilt by Edyta Sitar and I'm avoiding the hand applique. I've done a few sections but I just don't love the hand sewing. You have inspired me to do machine applique and finish the project that I already have so much time invested in. Thanks!!! I'll be watching all your channel from now on. 🤩
I'm so glad you were inspired. That's a gorgeous design and so intricate! Good luck.
I am wondering how you are cutting a good square edge on your fabric with your round cutter without cutting in to the rest of the fabric. It looks so precise. Thank you
I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but I think you want to know if when I cut a square out of the fabric if it's perfect corners or not.. it isn't... i typically have a little cut both way left in the big piece of fabric. that's why I try to find multiple cuts of the same size so I can cut off a strip of fabric to subcut.
@@lorabrinkman yea. That is what I was wondering. It looks so perfect.
Hello Lora, you did a lot of progress on your houses. Love the Sloth, so cute. I like to watch them on you tube. It's great that you were able to get many things done. Especially with classes it's not easy. So I will see you thursday for the on going quilt along. Congratulations for the quilt show, wish I was close to be there.
Thank you so much!
Good luck at the quilt show! Everyone will enjoy looking at your beautiful quilts.
Thank you so much!
Where do you find fleece
I'm in the usa... joann's, hobby lobby.. it's the no pill fleece like you make the no sew blankets out of
Love all the things you share. You do so much. Thank you
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for showing us! Did you get your Mercantile quilted? Did I miss it? So curious!
I did! It will be in the show here locally. I plan to record the show and share, so you should see it soon. I actually did the rick rack trim in it and did a video on that. czcams.com/video/l0zXfDKvVYk/video.html
Just found you great will bw watching you more often great boards will try making them this week Thanks great video
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome!!
Fun video… I just finished this SAL I’m always behind lol the kit I got had plenty even extra fabric. Except one of the greens 🤷🏻♀️ but, I managed… This was my first Lori appliqué project!
That is awesome! I love her applique quilts so much!
Very helpful, thank you so much. ❤
You're so welcome!
Thank you so wonderful
Most welcome 😊
Thank you Lora!That’s amazing!
You are so welcome!
How did you attach your design wall to your closet doors? I have a closet I could do that to. My only Lori Holt "appliqued" quilt I've made I hand stitched. Next one will be using the sewing machine! This is such a cheerful quilt!
It's attached with command strips! I hated the mirrored closet doors, yet didn't like the idea of replacing them... so... it's a perfect solution for my design wall. If I have a quilt that stretches both sides, I will use a couple pins at each end to keep it from falling when I open/close the doors. Just be careful and test your pin placement to make sure it doesn't pull and rip your fabric... I almost had a catastrophe with one. Ha!
Excited to start this week! Nearly finished up the last week and also need to embroider the bee blocks..... but seem to have misplaced my embroidery thread 🙄 Wondering if you have a facebook group? I do have Instagram but I'm a bit useless with it 😂
I don't have a fb group, yet... but have been toying with the idea
@@lorabrinkman keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 Thank you for the tips.... they are really helping 🙂
adorable!!!
Thanks
You are a genius! I tried the traditional way but I just didn’t like the results. I’m definitely remaking all of my boards. I think I’m going to try flannel though. Thank you for sharing this with me! 💗
Flannel is a great option!!
Boy watching you do applique is so much faster and easier than how I do mine. Well starting today it's going to be Lora's way for sure. Know that all the time and effort that you put into all these videos for us is so appreciated. Thank you and see you soon.
You are so sweet. Happy stitching!!
Wow. These are great. I was once given two shoe boxes full of some torn pieces, and a little yardage. I have made two quilt tops out of it and both were donated. There is enough left for two or three more tops! And, I may take the larger parts and just piece them together for a back. What a blessing, from someone's mother after her passing. I like to think she's watching where it all ends up! With the big pink star, I would take off the outer white border, and maybe the pink one too, and then bind it into a baby-size quilt. The orange one, if you can't find a home for it as a whole quilt, it looks big enough that I would cut it into 4 pieces, and have 4 baby quilts. That dresden quilt is a real gem. If the holes can't be mended, I honestly think it would make a great jacket, with the scalloped edges as the hems and front opening.
Thanks for watching
You are so organized. I love the glass with those bias tapes rolls. The quilt will be beautiful.
Ha!! I do love storage solutions... it's even better when they provide eye candy for my space. :) Thanks for watching.
Thank you! That was a great explanation!
Glad it was helpful! I really love that tool.
I’m gonna start this soon- I really am… it looks sooo cute
Thanks for watching!! Good luck
Lora wow I love the tips you have shared. I love the organization and process you shared. Seeing you appliqué is helpful even the glue process of where to glue and where not to glue! I love that you appliqué the blocks as you finish them. I am on row 4 all the quilt blocks are done but I waited to appliqué at the very end. I finished the appliqué on all but one block because I somehow don’t have the bias on it. I did appliqué the blocks as I finished them when I made the Bee Vintage and I will never to the appliqué at the end! It is so much more productive to appliqué as you make blocks. Also I learned to make blocks by with rows rather than scattered all over. That’s how Bee Vintage was made. I love how you show your organization!!!! When I traced the simple shapes I traced them by numbers 1-9, 10-19, 20-29… and cut them out by the sets 1-9, 10-19, 20-29… so I can easily find the traced interfacing numbers I need for the blocks just a tip I get to share with you 😊. Thanks again for your videos I always look forward to Thursdays to watch your Bee Happy videos. You are keeping me moving on my quilt and I am so grateful You are a blessing to me. ~Martha San Jose, California
Martha, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad you are finding the videos helpful! Thanks for the tip on the shapes. Always love additional ways to make it easier on myself. Happy stitching!!
Yes I will need to get this set to use. Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
Ok I could have used this tutorial when I started Bee Happy in June 2022 😮. I had trouble with that daisy 🌼 and other shapes. I bought that tool over a year ago and I love ❤️ that you showed how to use it. I never reach for it but now I will for the rest of the appliqué quilts I make. This was so helpful thank you Lora. ~Martha San Jose, California 😊
I tend to forget about it, too, until I'm struggling to turn something and wishing there was an easier way... then, I remember and laugh. Ha!! Maybe this will help me remember, too!!!
Thank you enjoy each tip
You are so welcome!
Thank you! I bought the set after your recommendation a while back and then struggle a bit ! Would like a demo on a long shape but presumably yo always have to sew one end closed? I think that’s where I was going wrong on turning a tube!
Absolutely!! I'll try to get that in the next couple days. You Are correct, one end must be sewn shut.
Sue... i just posted this short video for you. Hope it helps. czcams.com/video/eIwufcP1mvY/video.htmlsi=L2tglMPu4Kn5cIOX
@@lorabrinkman Wow! Thanks Lora. You are a fantastic teacher!
Hello Lora, when you spoke about that tool the other day on one of your flosstube, I whent right to Amazon Canada and purchased one. This is the best tool I have seen and thanks to you I am so happy to have one myself. Turning shapes does not make me crazy anymore. Thank you so much for amazing tips and tricks. See you tomorrow for another sew along.
Oh! I'm so glad you like it. It really is the best tool.
A timely recommendation! Thanks for sharing! 🥰
You are so welcome!
I really like this rehab project for an old quilt. I’m going to keep my eye out for an old quilt at the Thrift stores. Thanks for sharing! 👍🥰
Thanks so much! Happy hunting!
You green was a great choice! Nice save!
Thanks!
Not sure what I would do. But I love the way you present and you are so creative - I want to see what you make. I just recently discovered your channel and have to say you are going to be one of my favorites to learn from. Thank you!
That's so incredibly kind. Welcome to the channel and thank you
Hey Lora such a beautiful way to bring a vintage quilt back to life. I love the green color us decided to use for the binding. It compliment the rest of the colors. Congratulations on saving such important parts of someone heritage.
Thank you so much!
If you could see mine...

How many can you quilt in a weekend? I'm asking this before the end of the video, so maybe you answer it.
It depends on size and complexity of quilting. I did 9 quilts that weekend, but 6 were smaller.
Thank you this is beautiful
I'm glad you like it
Great tutorial Thank you. Can't wait to try. I have done design boards but not good with the gun
I understand.... thanks for watching
Do you find your iron gets very hot? I have one that looks like your iron, so I put mine on the lowest setting.
It does, but I typically have mine turned all the way up on the cotton setting
Great tips. Thank you 😊 I've totally finished week 1 & 2. I did decide to just go with the flag in the pattern..... though managed to sew the star block on wonky 😂 Just started week 3 blocks so a lil behind but did manage to finish up a quilt for a friend and only the binding to do on a baby quilt!
Wonderful! If you are on instagram, feel free to tag me! @LoraBFlosstube
Lora, thank you so many tips. I did not know about those point turners, I really hate doing those. But I am going to buy that set for sure. I tried something different this time for applique. I had a big package of fusible Pelon. So I decided to use it for these applique shapes. Instead of tracing on the right side, I trace on the glue side. So once I turned the piece it was on the glue side. It was so much fun and quick to applique the shapes to the background after. I tried on scraps before using my good fabric. So maybe someone would like to try it. Waiting to see some of your stitching that is done. I always enjoy looking at what you finished or almost done. Have a great week end and see you soon.
Thanks for watching and the kind words. I have some stitching done, but I am only going to be doing one flosstube a month through the end of the year. Had to switch it up in order to have time to focus on class this semester. :)
@@lorabrinkman Hey it's good to focus on your classes. That comes first for sure. So I will be looking out for the next stitching flosstube and meanwhile I am going to enjoy the quilting sew along.
love quilters select products love the cutter to close just turn ove and bump on cutting mat and it closes.
