Not only getting the school supplies, but the smell of them-the smell of new paper and crayons, also organizing them in my desk, these were my favorite things about going back to school.
Ahh yes, organizing the desk at school and home. It always felt like a new beginning!
My favorite memory of going back to school was getting all of the supplies and the smell of the classroom on the first day of school
Fall is my favorite! It’s like a 3 month holiday. I love the leaves and the smell of the outdoors in the fall!
That cash register!…..I gasped when you unlocked it, opened it, and the bell rang….exquisite! Your quilts are beautiful. My favorite memory of fall is walking or driving through multicolored leaves falling from the trees….it’s mesmerizing. Thank you for another fun video. Blessings and take care.
Thank you so much!
My favorite memories from back to school was buying crayons/colored pencils and many tablets. To this day I journal and always kept score for both my boys little league games. My grandson is in his senior year at college and plays ⚾️ and I still keep score from home. I still spend a small fortune in tablets 🤣 Taking notes on flosstubers takes a lot of paper 📝. Always look forward to your videos and have notes on the three quilts you have lined up and have used the All Hallows Eve fabric a few years back and now wish I had bought more jelly rolls but will look into the Pumpkins and Blossoms line. Also was taken back by the Pam Buda Butternut and Peppercorn jelly roll. Happy Stitching and enjoy your son being home from school. 🧵🪡👏🥰❤️👵
I used to keep score for my softball team. I think it’s hereditary because my mother still has drawers full of paper, pencils, etc. 🤣
Favorite fall memories are numerous, seeing friends I hadn't seen over the summer, football games, seeing the leaves change color n drop, even though I'm in my late 60's I still love walking thru the rustling leaves, kicking them around like a 6 yr old 😊
I’m definitely there with you on the leaves!! That’s something I miss where I live now. No big maples to turn colors and drop leaves. 🍁
Thanks for sharing your lovely projects! I'm a fifth grade teacher, so I get to go back to school every year. I love the chance to have a fresh start each year. My favorite memory is waiting for the bus in the crisp fall air, wearing brand new clothes!
Thank you for being a teacher!! I too loved the fresh start every year!
I have never been antique-ing, but I really truly love the cash box. What a great find! I love your quilts and that particular joann fabric for the table runner. I like using ticking prints as accents, backing, and linings for various projects. I enjoyed seeing your thread dye process. About the favorite fall memory, mine was of some really pretty skirt/blouse combos that my mother made for me for my 7th grade school year. School started on my birthday that year, and I remember thinking that was a gift from the Lord because He knew I loved school. I love all your videos and always watch yours first whenever you have a new one.
Oh my gosh, thank you Tami! That’s a wonderful memory of both your Mother, Fall and school!
I loved getting a new box of 64 count crayons at the beginning of the new school year. Their waxy smell warmed my heart and all those beautiful colors were reflected in the changing colors of the forest trees on the nearby hills. I loved watching the vintage Fall cartoons, one I especially loved showcased Jack Frost with his artist's palette painting all the flora in Autumnal colors. My parents were both bakers, but didn't bake much in the Summer heat. As soon as cooler temperatures arrived, the baking started and I loved the smell of cinnamon rolls fresh from the oven, filled with rum soaked raisins, crunchy pecans and drizzled with creamy white icing. These were a few of my favorite Fall things.
Beautiful memories! I love to bake, as does my granddaughter. I’ve never perfected the cinnamon roll which is probably a good thing! What kind of trees did you have where you grew up?
That money box is so cool! Super find! There are a lot of things I love about fall: the smell of a Big Chief tablet for school (yes, I am old), the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, the smell of fallen leaves, the crisp wind of fall, a relief from the heat (I don’t like to be hot). I could go on and on. The smell of a baked apple pie. Yum!! Happy stitching!❤
Yummm! Apple pie! Regular or Dutch?
I live in Eugene and it's nice to find FlossTuber's in Oregon. My favorite childhood memory about back to school is my birthday, Sept 10. I'll be 75 this year and the only other special back to school memory I have is buying new clothes for school. We lived in Indio, California when I started the 2nd grade. For some reason my mom bought me a cute sweater & skirt set. I loved it and wanted to wear it for my class photo. Indio is in the desert! So I remember being miserably hot at school that day.
Oh my gosh! The things we did to wear cute clothes! Kindred Stitcher is now in Oregon too!
My favorite memory of back to school was getting a new pair of shoes, and some new clothes.
I to love spreadsheets and tracking my work. A favorite fall memory is walking through the fallen leaves when the still have there color.
Excel rules! #excelsince3.1
The best Fall memory was my birthday right before school started and getting school supplies...crayons (64) were my favorite!! Nice variety of WIPS to keep you busy!! HAPPY STITCHING TODAY AND EVERYDAY IN 2023!!
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing. My favorite memory for fall is seeing all the pumpkins and squash and fall vegetables on the farms. Also as a kid we would pick apples from the apple trees and put them in a cider press to make apple cider and we would dump the pulp and skin from the presses in the field for the horses to eat. Such a wonderful memory.
That is a wonderful memory! When I lived in WA, there were a couple of local cider farms/mills that we would visit several times a year. They were known for their fresh fritters among other things.
@texstylust we lived in Poulsbo Wa when we did the cider press.
For me, my favorite memory about going back to school was that my mother would make me all new dresses. This was a time when you had to wear dresses every day. She used only one pattern but changed each one by adding lace or changing the sleeve style to make each one different.
A wonderful memory! My mother would order me two or three dresses from the Aldens catalog, then make the rest. When I was in grade school, it was only dresses too!
My favorite memory as a child was also back to school shopping! It was something I continued as a teacher. The elementary school my kids attended got smart and the PTA bulk bought supplies you could order. Each grade level made their list, you sent in a check, and they even delivered it to the classroom! The items were name brand! With bulk buying it was cheaper than buying them yourself. Love seeing all your goodies!
What a fantastic idea! I wish all schools were able to do that!
I just love that antique drawer you found, what a treasure. My favorite part of school as a child was all things new, new clothes, new school supplies and seeing my friends I hadn’t seen over the summer.
It was fun going back to school to reconnect with friends that you could not see over the summer break. I love the cash drawer very unique find.
My best memory when the school year began was buying all the new materials, notebooks, books, pens, colored pencils and above all the special smell they had.
Exactly!!
Well, you said my favorite-buying and arranging all my new school supplies. That included new paper in my 3-ring binder, erasers for the math folder, the exact right ink pen, and also putting new items in a new purse. Lip gloss, tissues, wallet, etc went in that purse. It was a lot of fun. Organized for at least the first week.
Oh my gosh, the way you described it just gave me flashbacks to lipsmackers in a tin and lip potion with the roller ball! 🥰
I love the antique drawer you found. Reminded me of when my dad owned a dry cleaning business in the early 70’s. They did cobbling , tailoring all in one shop. I remember the old cash registers. So cool! I love Fall 🍁 🍃. I love the changing colors of the leaves , the crisp air , apple picking, pumpkin spice everything, and the coziness of my knit shawls, fingerless mitts and the like
You describe it all so well, I feel I’m almost there!!
Wow!! The linen you dyed is beautiful. What an interesting find, thanks for sharing it with us, love the history. The crows are in the "Wanna Stitch" pile that keeps mounding up. The quilts are going to be fabulous! And the wool projects!! What a fun filled packed episode.
Thanks so much Kristy!
Always loved getting new supplies, especially crayons and the new shoes! I also still walk down the school aisle looking at pens etc.. My oldest grandchild started college this year and we will have high school graduations for the next 5 years!
Oh wow! That cash till is a fabulpus find!
Great video again Lori. My favorite thing at the beginning of school was shopping for supplies and new clothes
Thanks for the inspiration on a few quilts. I loved using old wallpaper my grandfather (he hung wallpaper as his work) to cover our new books ready for the start of school. A fun memory. Blessings and happy stitching.
I love your quilts-both finished and planned! My favorite back to school memory is from college-I loved buying my textbooks along with notebooks and highlighters. I would get them home and spend many happy hours just looking through the books and looking forward to the class. Thanks for the great video!
A great memory! I recall when highlighters first became popular at school!
Such an interesting episode…I love your antiquing find. My favorite memory of fall is like yours…school supply shopping! I don’t think that enjoyment has faded judging by the amount of fun color pencils etc that I still have. The Ribbon Thief is a beautiful pattern.
Great video Lori, what a fantastic find antiquing that cash box is way cool 😎….your quilts are gorgeous as are the ones you are planning! Love the color choices….my favorite memory is of my Grandma making apple pies from their trees and the great smell of them baking oh so good😘 take care, 🤗♥️🪡🧵r
What a very enjoyable video! The till box was a fabulous find, a fun piece to add to your decor. ‘Murder of Crows’ is a great stitch, I’m going to have to do some retail therapy! Thanks for sharing your projects and plans, cross stitch, wool and quilting, love them all! A favorite memory as well is going shopping for school supplies. I grew up in a very small town and going to the city for shopping was always a great event. Loved getting the school supplies and new shoes and a dress for picture day and to wear on Sunday. My Mom would sew the rest of my school clothes. I have very fond memories of this.
That’s a fantastic memory!
What another beautiful visit tonight and a lovely way to celebrate the first of September. A favorite memory of mine in preparing to go back to school was shoe shopping..now mind you I went to Catholic school and we wore the white leather laced shoes. But after running barefoot all summer going into Kinneys or Thom Mc Ann and getting new shoes was a treat! It was thrilling to find out how much our feet had grown. Also the smell of the clean leather was delightful and that fragrance can send me back in a second. Our PE shoes were navy blue keds which new was another treat. Even though it is still hot I long for a new pair of leather shoes every September..definitiely NOT white leather tie shoes..lol… Cant wait to see your quilt progress! Happy September!
Oh my gosh! Linnets and Thom McAnns. I haven’t heard those names in ages. My first full time job was in a shoe store … Gallenkamps. My favorite shoe shop was Leeds. All gone now, but my love for shoes lives on!
oh yes those stores too! Was remebering after I replied that in grades 7 and 8 we could wear wallabies with our uniforms and in high school earth shoes and sandals! yay 70’s..lol..and new pairs of dittos which were allowed but not blue jeans!😊@@texstylust
So good to see you again. Love your cash box find. It is beautiful! Love your quilts! My favorite fall thing is decorating for the season. Also from my childhood, a favorite Fall memory was making houses from the pikes of beautiful leaves. Love your videos!
Thanks so much Julie!!
Love those quilts :) Living in the South, my favorite part is when the humidity drops and I can actually enjoy going outside. I also love school supplies so sometimes I just go and get a few notebooks for fun.
I think I would struggle in an area that is humid a lot. I was in Aruba one year where it was 100 degrees with 100 percent humidity. It felt like a hot wet blanket on my face …. But oh the pretty thing that grow in humid areas!!!
This is the first time I watched your channel..I loved it…my favorite memory for this time of year was getting new sneakers for school…I thought I could run the fastest and jump the highest..I am in my sixties and still feel that way when I get new sneakers..
Oh, that’s a fabulous memory. It’s so cool you’ve always carried it with you!
Loved seeing your cross stitch and quilting.
Your finished quilts are stunning!! I am up there in age, but for back-to-school I loved my Big Chief Tablets. I am from Oklahoma and was always fascinated by our Indian history. Later in life, I learned my grandmother’s ancestry is Chickasaw Indian.
Thank you so much. I liked those tablets too! Although I’ve only seen them in pictures. They reminded me of the sign-off picture on the TV when it didn’t stay on the air past 11 or midnight (showing my age too!)
Your antique find - the wonderful cash box is amazing! I can wait to see how you display it. It is just beautiful. Your quilts are also beautiful- you’ve inspired me to get out my Halloween jelly roll and see what I need to make a quilt. 🧡
Ohhh, excited to see what you come up with!
Hi Lori! Your Jack’s Bash is looking beautiful. I struggle putting it down as well. You had me checking out the Woolen Needle this morning. So many beautiful projects. A few quilts that I’d love to get. My favorite back to school memory is actually something I hated doing then but warms my heart today is clothes shopping with my mom. She would get frustrated with me and I didn’t like any of her suggestions. Now that I do this same annoying routine with my son it makes me giggle and I miss it.
Oh yes, I remember those days with my mom. 🤦♀️. Fortunately, my daughter and I had similar tastes, and my son was “whatever you like mom.” ☺️
Enjoyed watching. What a wonderful find in the cash drawer! I have some of the Fig Tree All Hallows Eve fabrics to make a Pattern Basket tablerunner…such petty fabrics. Last Saturday, I visited Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio for their annual rug hooking show. I had the Jacobean Pumpkin pattern in my hand, but put it back😌 but I did buy a beautiful wool appliqué book by Mary Blythe. I also have the tray you showed…I need to get stitching! My favorite fall memory is buying new school supplies…there is something about starting fresh with new supplies. I too have visited the school supply isles at my local store and found a box of 24 Crayolas that said “Colors of Kindness”…shoom into the basket😂 Take care! Happy Stitching!
Oh my gosh! I need to look for those colors!
What a great episode! Thanks for sharing with us. Love all the pattern inspiration. Sure gets me thinking. Loved getting a new box of crayons for school. Happy stitching 🧵
That money till!!! My daughter lives in England, so I would love to find one of those on our antiquing trips! I love all your upcoming projects and haul. Somehow I missed Pam Buda’s Butternut and Peppercorn collection when it came out…so you have enabled me big time! 🤣 I love your videos and wish you were my neighbor! ♥️
I wish everyone was in my hood!
I love that Lynda Hall quilt! The cash box is pretty awesome too~ A memory I have of fall, is eating ginger snap cookies dipped in milk to soften them up. Yummy!
Ahhh… Ginger snaps!
Thank you so much for the pattern you sent me. I absolutely love it!
You’re most welcome Dalene!!
Your cash till is amazing
💙🖖
Hi love your stitching and quilts. I love the box is fantastic find. Take care and see you next time.🌻
The kitties are so big now. Actually, I did like getting new school clothes, my mom made most of them but I always loved fabric shopping. Once she made me a purple corridoroy coat.
I bet that was so cool!
Beautiful quilts and love all your projects
Hi Lori! Great video & plans. Your kitties are ADORABLE together.
Hi Sheila!!! Thanks for stopping by. They are adorable aren’t they? Right now they’re grumping at me because they can’t go outside with the smoke, but I love them anyway. 🥰
@@texstylust awww poor babies! I have a black cat that was a feral cat we took in in December. She’s the love of our lives!!! 🐈⬛🥰
@@sheilalovesgreg3489 I could easily slip into the role of crazy cat lady and adopt every cat and kitten I see! 🤦♀️
Wonderful video,beautiful treasures, Thankyou for sharing 🇳🇿❤️🪡
My memory wasn't always about the new school supplies, but my Dad would take me to our shoe store. I loved picking out my saddle shoes! I still can smell the leather😊 My other Fall memory is visiting the local apple orchard. Bittersweet now because it is no longer there. Enjoyed your video, especially the quilt information.
Thank you so much. It’s amazing how many memories are about new shoes!
Thank you for another great and informative floss tube. You sent me down the rabbit hole 😅 got the beanstock quilt pattern, it was $10.00 for PDF pattern. I love it!
Love your antique box! Wow what a find!
I also love school supplies! Some of the school things can be used for stitching and/or quilting. I got the cutest pencil holder shaped like a microphone with sequins ❤😮 my rotary cutter fits in it perfectly!
Take care
Love seeing all of your cross stitch and quilting projects! I love fall because my birthday is late in October and I remember growing up always having a Halloween themed birthday party.
Yay! A sister October birthday!! Mine is later in October too!
Lori today was the first time I watched you! I was so happy to watch you. I enjoyed what you do very much. I already ordered the wool appliqué table runner from woolen needle. My favorite thing about going back to school was getting some new clothes. I’m stitching a twin peaks limited edition piece right now with the children running in front of a log home and the snow on the trees etc. look forward to your next videos. I would love to come out you way but I live south of Buffalo, ny. Sue Chavanne.
Welcome Sue! I’m not very familiar with NY, only having flown in and out. I do know that Buffalo gets a lot of snow in the winter, yes? So do we!
Toile and ticking! Great combo. Thanks for the info on Aunties Bean Stalk Quilt. I saw you post your finish on IG and thought it was stunning! I'm trusting you that it's not too difficult:}. I'm not an experienced quilter. One of my favorite childhood memories of September, was picking a bouquet of marigolds to take to my teacher from my mother's garden. I would smell them all the way to school (we lived on a ranch) and it is still one of my favorite smells to this day. I associate it with going back to school and fall. I can see why you bought the Ribbon Thief pattern. It is beautiful!
Such a fantastic memory! I have memories of Spring in Olympia walking home from school. There was one street that was lined with lilacs and a flowering bush I can’t remember the name of at the moment. Those smells combined together instantly bring me back to fourth grade.
I hope the smoke has subsided.
We have smoke on some days here in WI
The kitties are so cute!
That cash box is an awesome find, I've never seen one
My favorite memory of Fall/Schooltime is getting new shoes.
Marilyn
Great to hear from you again Marilyn. Yes, it’s been gone a few days now, thank goodness. I was just telling my son yesterday of the days of one pair of shoes! ☺️
Wow!! I am thrilled winning the give away!!! I will contact you!! Love all of your projects and future ideas! Love the three quilt patterns! You are so creative and so ambitious!!!
Yay!!!
Always love your videos!! Very interested in the wool appliqué. A little intimidated!
Love the cash drawer that's a stunning find.. can't wait to see how you display it ... an your new quilt projects are gonna be gorgeous in those fabrics al hallows eve is one of my favorites when I first started my fabric collection .... school time always brings back the time all us kids got to spend shopping for our school clothes our mom used to take us individually so there wouldn't be any arguing an fighting that cones along with having 7 kids an being a single mom ... she passed away in 2008 so I'm totally glad I have these wonderful memories. Also October is my birthday month so that's a plus lol happy crafting
Yay! I’m an October baby too!

Amazing cash drawer find! Love your channel and your hair is gorgeous. Thanks for the tea dye tutorial.
Aww, thanks!
Great video! So inspiring!
I forgot to mention box you showed was great and very interesting. My family is from ENGLAND. We plan on going next year I hope.
How exciting! We had to cancel a trip to England due to the pandemic. Hopefully, will get to go in the future.
First I just want to say that this was my first session with you and enjoyed it tremendously. I loved the cash box you scored! My favorite fall tradition was going apple picking with our son. His birthday is in the fall and we always made an annual birthday trip to an orchard..
What a wonderful tradition and memory!
First day of school memory was….
One day finished until schools out for the year
😂😂
Growing up in NY state my favorite memory of fall was running through the fallen leaves while watching the leaves continue to fall down from the trees. The beauty of the colors of your stitching, quilting and wool work always catches my attention.
That sound amazing! I have visiting the East Coast during the Fall on my bucket list!
I grew up in CT. Moved to Upstate NY when I got married in 1988 and just love Fall here. So beautiful!
I love your videos they are always so inspiring!
Thank you so much!
Fall is the happiest time of year for me. It is the beginning of football season, the weather here in NJ starts to get comfortably cool, and it is soup weather. Your quilt is beautiful, and your plans are inspiring!
So nice to listen to you, would you consider showing us your studio with your longarm. That would be so interesting. Thank you
I hope to show the studio at sometime. However, for now it’s still mostly loaded with unpacked things from my last move. I can show Ruby .. my longarm!
@@texstylust Yes Please 🙏
I always like the school shopping. But never was crazy about school. That box is amazingl.
You have some ambitious plans. I love all the stitching and the quilting. I always enjoy your videos. My favorite school memories consisted of buying \ getting new school supplies.
My favorite tradition of fall is going to a pumpkin patch! I love that cash box you found.
Love all your finishes ! Never really liked school myself but I always love going to buy new clothes for my kids before school started
Lori that drawer is fabulous. Quilts turned out beautiful. Do you do anything special to your quilts to keep the colors from bleeding when you wash them? Thanks for sharing have a great week! Glad the storm is leaving.
I would recommend using a color catcher. These can be found in the detergent isle of the grocery store.
Thank you Lori. I do use them.
Thank you for sharing how you use a damp/used tea bag to tea dye floss. Just curious do you heat set. Beautiful quilts!
Thanks for watching! No need to heat set. Tea and coffee actually stain the fibers. If you bake fibers (as is popular), you’re really just burning them darker. If it wasn’t dark enough after rinsing, then I would dab it again.
Thank you so much for tea dyed floss tutorial. That looks really easy! Do you ever put it in the oven to dry, or do you always just let it air dry?
I always air dry. There really is no reason to put any fiber in an oven (although I know it’s popular). That basically burns the fiber.
@@texstylust your floss looked so pretty. I have never done any, and you made it look so easy maybe I will. Good to know about the oven. Knowing me I would forget it and over do it anyway.
How do you wash and store your quilts?
It depends on the quilt, but most that I use for daily are washed in the machine with a light detergent and dried in the dryer until almost dry, then draped. When not on a bed in use, they’re stored flat; stacked on each other on a spare bed. I need to up my game and find a cupboard to store in, because they’re heavy to move around!
@texstylust do you use cold water and hand wash cycle for the washing, and low heat in the dryer?
@@OMGImIrish Usually cool water and low to warm temp on dryer. It really depends on the fabric, type of batting and type of quilt. I try to address it in more detail on the next FlossTube.
@@texstylust thanks. I look forward to your next video.
