FlossTube #9 January 7th, 2023 – FFO’s, FO’s, WIPS, Haul 
Welcome to our 9th video.  Happy New Year!!  We are having so much fun sharing with you what we are working on and being part of this wonderful community.  We hope you will sit a spell, relax, and give us a watch. Please like, subscribe, and comment.  We love hearing from you all!!  Thanks!
     Quilt featured in this FlossTube is a Christmas table topper made from the pattern “Crazy Eight Strip Teaser” by The ¾ Crazies”. I tried to locate it if your are interested but only found on the secondary market – Ebay.
Current FFO’s:
     Peter shares three bee skeps that “we” 😊 made for presents but haven’t had a chance to gift yet.  He also shows the Christmas decorations that he made for our tree this year – acorns, snowmen, angels, bells and pendant ornaments.  They looked so pretty on our tree!
     Kathy FFO’d “Christmas Tiny Town” by Heart in Hand on one of our five-hole spools made from Rosewood Patagonia.  It sits perfectly on the candle holder he made from the same blank of wood.

Hebrews 13:20-21 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
