    Good Saturday afternoon. Will watch the two of you in its entirety, tonight, when hubby is off working. Take care and love and hugs to you both.

    You two are my "go to" when I want to watch flosstube while stitching. Your friendship just really warms my heart. I am super excited to attend my first summer school at The Attic in a few weeks. I have never been there in person, just a faithful shopper by phone. Been saving my pennies (and nickels, dimes and quarters) since I found out I would be attending. Super excited!

    Girls it is always a thrill to see your enthusiasm for needlework. It seems like Christmas every two weeks! I tend to be more interested in the history of the process, but I love how you share the availability of products and demonstrate the process of choosing inner and threads. Continue to keep us all informed. I love the community and how we care for one another. Laura, congrats on completing marching orders and Brenda, you continue to set a great example of teaching for us al. Stay safe girls

    Love you ladies! So happy about Tom! He IS the GOAT! Also placed an order with Fiddle Feathers and added a pattern or 10 to my wish list! My youngest sister and I came back to cross stitch after 20+ years and FaceTime almost every Friday evening, Saturday, and Sunday while stitching together! It’s been amazing!

    Brenda and Laura thank you both for all your inspiration. Two good friends are good for my soul. I want to thank Laura for talking about adorable Yoda and the Mandalorian . I finally came across the show on Roku and am hooked 👍🥰🥰. I’m am a very young 81 yr old and star war nut and avid cross stitcher and love you both and all of this community. Thank you all 🤗

    I have just recently started watching you and reviving my love of cross stitch! I have enjoyed the two of you so much I decided to go back and watch from the very beginning. It is really spooky to watch as the pandemic closes in and, of course, you have no idea what is lurking right ahead of you to gobble you up! Then watching as you cope at the very beginning from our vantage point now 2 years out and accepting it as the new norm. It just reminded me how much I relied on my quilting during lockdown and how good it was I had a generous stash and waiting projects to work on! Our crafts are definitely our sanity! Anyway, I really enjoy watching you two and now feel like you are friends!! 😊

    Thank you ladies for another great episode. It’s 97 in New Jersey today and my reward for this week was to spend the morning with you while I work on a knitted shawl(which by the way would of went perfectly with Laura’s blouse today) and was so enamored with everything you were sharing that i was making mistakes left and right and was like a squirrel jumping off and grabbing my phone and looking up what you were showing!!! Thanks you do for so much gorgeousness and the beautiful energy you both emanate 🙏🕉💖

What a lovely gesture to Becca and her first reproduction sampler. Brenda, you just make me smile and your stitching of smalls is inspiring. I will be officially retired on May 31st and look forward to uninterrupted hours of stitching all the things. Thanks again to both of you for what you bring to our community.

It’s one of my favs. And as per usual you enabled me. I jotted down a few things. I am seriously going to have to put myself on lockdown too!! I will be thinking of you during Summer School. I live in Phoenix so will probably feel the zing in the atmosphere!

SO excited that I finally get to meet you two, Nicola, and all the others that will be attending. This is my birthday present to myself this year. Laura, I am so proud that you are still marching onward and TWO finishes in two weeks! WooHoo! (as us Southern girls say). Can you tell I'm not from Charleston? LOL Brenda, the Scattered Seed projects with the birds are beautiful and I cannot wait to see a finish. I think you both did a super job choosing the fabric and fibers for Becca's first Reproduction Sampler. Brenda, time for more marching orders! LOL Happy Days and Lots of Stitching to you both. If you have not checked out my Flosstube channel, I would appreciate you dropping by as I have come a long way from Flosstube #1. Dottie and her two Scotties, Winston and Stryker

    Sew, I mean this with all the stitching love in my heart……never miss an episode and when you said hello to Mary, I believe that was her name, it reminded me of when I was young and watched Romper Room. Sew, wouldn’t it be fun if you had a Magic Mirror and could look through it and say hello to all your viewers. I will try and find a prop.

    I am a relatively new cross stitcher. In an earlier video you referred to the floss as “One hundred three” . Is that Au Ver A Soie that I have used in my wool appliqué projects?
    I Can’t tell you how much I enjoy sharing time with you both. I just started counted cross stitch in Oct. 2021. My dear hubby gifted me at Christmas “ Hoity Toity” using Jan Hicks thread color conversion. I just love it although it took me almost a week to get use to the 36 count. I am a monogamous stitch and I think this is really going to take me a long time..All the other charts that I have kitted up are calling to me….
    I have to put the petal to the metal and stitch stitch stitch while still enjoying it. My hubby thinks it will take me two years, I am hoping for less than one year.

    • @brendaandtheserialstarter2410
      @brendaandtheserialstarter2410  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Sharon! The 100.3 is a type of thread by Au Ver A Soie. It is thinner than the typical silk. Maybe you could stitch one other project during the time you stitch Hoity Toity - you don't want to burn out on a project. As you know, I believe in serial starts and lots of projects. But whatever you do...enjoy your stitching time!

I had to laugh out loud on the episode that Laura was going to watch her haul spending after a household expense. I totally understand unexpected expenses that halt needed cross stitch supplies! That same week I spent $600 taking my sons turtle to the vet. The turtle still lives at my house. Got the turtle when my son was 3. My son is now 34. Purchasing has now resumed. Looking forward to meeting you in August! Oh and Ricky the turtle has recovered and doing well! Angie

Happy stitching until next time. ❤️🪡🧵❤️

You have such great influence in this stitching community and this is a big deal when you take a moment to highlight their work. I know I rush over to see new floss tubes and enjoy seeing everyone's beautiful projects. My challenge is then I want to copy everyone and start clicking away to purchase more patterns. Yikes! However I do love getting new patterns in the mail. Have fun at the retreats and bring us new stuff when you get back. Blessings from Colorado.
